SMU Mock Trial Faecbook

SMU Mock Trial shows their school spirit after a tournament at Baylor last year.

SMU Mock Trial team prepares for a new season KARA FELLOWS Contrbuting Writer kfellows@smu.edu SMU’s Mock Trial team members are gearing up for a new season with new members, new tournaments and new goals they hope will take them all the way to Nationals.

“This year I really feel that our team has grown together and that we’re learning to work better with each other,” said junior Zhuo Zhao, Vice President of tournaments. “I’m excited to practice and see how far we’ve come.”

Last year, the team made it all the way to the Open Round Championship Series in Memphis, Tenn., before they were eliminated. The ORCS is the final step toward the National Tournament, compromised of the top teams from each Regional Tournament. Only the top six teams from each ORCS are given a bid to attend the National Tournament in April.

Considering the team had not won a tournament before 2012, the team’s current success is something that brings members an amazing amount of pride. Mock Trial president and SMU senior Sarah Smith has been on the team for three years and been able to see how far the team has progressed.

“Seeing the successes that we have achieved is an extremely rewarding feeling because it allows us to see our hard work has paid off,” Smith said.

Founded in 2000, the SMU Mock Trial Program competes in up to five tournaments each year. The program is part of the SMU Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Department and comprises about 20 student members, with

applications and auditions in late August.

The members divide up into separate teams and are assigned specific roles either as attorneys or witnesses. They spend weeks researching and building a case. Once they get to a tournament, schools face off in real-life court simulations with panels of judges comprised of practicing attorneys and current law students.

With the first tournament of the semester occuring on the last weekend of October, the season has just begun. But SMU junior Nancy Gracen Klein, a mock trial member for three years, said this is often the hardest part of the year. She said it takes time to figure out the dynamics of the team and assign people to their best positions. Not to mention that members also have to familiarize themselves with the 120-page case.

“Later on in the season we will be able to tell you what line 122 of such and such’s affidavit says, what objection could be made to that line and what arguments against that objection battle could follow,” Klein said.

In addition to new tournaments on the schedule and a stronger focus on developing the characters of the witnesses, this year the team is making changes to its structure by splitting into two teams instead of three.

“This will allow us to better focus our time and resources on having two equally competitive and successful teams,” Smith said.

Beyond the success and the hard work, Mock Trial members say they come back every year for the community and the people. For Zhao, the biggest surprise of joining mock trial was how close she and her teammates became.

“Being successful together created a bond of friendship that would never have happened if we hadn’t done Mock

Trial,” Zhao said.

Klein agrees that the team’s tight-knit friendship is a large and necessary part of the Mock Trial community.

“It’s a good thing we all like each other as much as we do, given the immense amount of time we spend together,” Zhao said.

6.

Take a “Friendsgiving” Christmas card photo.

If you didn’t Snap, Tweet or post on Instagram, did it even happen?

7. Treat yourselves.

You guys worked hard preparing the meal and entertaining, so take a break and go to a fancy brunch where they actually bring you water with ice.

8. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Seriously, this should be a break.

Regardless of it being a “Friendsgiving,” Thanksgiving or just an all-you-can-eat-buffet, enjoy the time you have with the people you love.

So don’t stress over the turkey being slightly dry or the food not being ready on time because in the end, the food is just an excuse.

It gives you an excuse to gather up your besties and spend some good old-fashioned quality time together that you wouldn’t be able to otherwise.

And isn’t that what Friendsgiving is all about? Beside the food, of course.

Everyone loves fast food.

Even if you are one of those people who drinks green juice and has a thing for quinoa, you secretly cannot resist a McDonald’s French fry or a Sonic Oreo Blast.

(C’mon guys, don’t lie to me.

I can see right through you).

So everyone should be jumping for joy, because today is the day we all come together in celebration of the most greasy, salty and fattening foods around SMU. Sit down with a large soda and get ready for the list of the best fast foods in Dallas, where to celebrate and every category of food you should hit today.

Best Nuggets: Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers Before all the Chick-Fil-A fanatics start throwing a hissy fit, remember this: bang for your buck.

First off, Cane’s offers you three or four huge chicken strips per order, compared to the tiny nuggets offered at Chick-Fil-A. While both restaurants offer high quality chicken in comparison to other fast food joints, Cane’s is much more filling and fresh, with a nice crisp coating in contrast to the lightly dusted ChickFil-A nuggets.

Pro tip: order extra Cane’s sauce and don’t forget the Texas toast!

Address: 5030 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75206 Best Burger: Five Guys OK In-N-Out fans, you’ll get your shout-out later, but hear me out.

With over 250,000 ways to customize your burger

and fresh ground beef, Five Guys has a quality and scrumptious burger. (Sorry In-N-Out, you just don’t have that many options).

They never freeze any of their products, only use peanut oil and the meat is always tender.

If you are looking for the best quality burger on the go, Five Guys is the place to order.

Pro Tip: Go in the store for free peanuts.

Address: Galleria Dallas, 13350 Dallas Pkwy, Dallas, TX 75240 Best Fries: McDonald’s This one should be selfexplanatory. McDonald’s is the epitome of fast food, and while many of their other menu items pale in comparison to new and higher-quality fast food options, no one has figured out a way to beat McDonald’s French fries.

Light and crispy, McDonald’s fries don’t have too much potato, too much oil or too much salt. You know you want to go enjoy.

Pro Tip: Mix ketchup and mayo together for a great dipping sauce — don’t mock it until you try it!

Address: 5960 Greenville Ave. Best Late Night Option: Whataburger Everyone knows that Whataburger has the most customers between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Why? The honey butter chicken biscuit.

No stranger to the late night crowd, the “HubChub” is the late night favorite on those on their way home from a bar or house party.

A biscuit slathered with honey and butter with a

deep-fried chicken strip wedged in between doesn’t make a bad late night snack in my book.

Pro Tip: Grab a couple of spicy ketchups just in case.

Address: 6061 Greenville Ave. Best Healthy Fast Food: Start When you think about fast food, you don’t usually think about health.

However, Start offers surprisingly tasty and healthy options on the go.

Their menu offers sweet potatoes, salads, egg-white breakfast sandwiches, wraps and vegetarian options.

Even if you are in a hurry, you don’t have to sacrifice your waistline.

Pro-tip: Kids can eat healthy too! Grab a kid’s grass-fed burger or chicken bites that taste good too.

Address: 4814 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75206 There were plenty of other fast food joints that almost made the cut on this list that deserve their own honorable mentions: Best Indulgence: In-NOut – Animal-style fries Best Breakfast Tacos: Torchy’s – The Wrangler Best Tots: Sonic – Classic Tots Best Ice Cream: Taco Bell – Cinnamon Twist Best Drink Menu: Sonic – Fruit Add-Ins Best Taco: Velvet Taco – Shrimp and Grits Best Sauces: Chick-Fil-A – Chick-Fil-A Sauce Best Underrated Item: Sonic – Breakfast taco with sausage Best Cold Sandwich: Jimmy Johns Best Hot Sandwich: Potbelly

2016 Gift Guide

Gifting on a college student budget Or if you are going back home for the holidays, take your friends somewhere they have never been.

MOLLIE MAYFIELD Photo Editor mrmayfield@smu.edu Holidays are the times for college students to go home to be with family and not think about school.

Yet, it can also be a challenge to think of gift ideas to give to friends and family.

The holidays also come at the time where college students are straining their bank account because of fall semester expenses.

Friends and family members know college students are on a budget, but that is no excuse to not get them gifts.

It is time to get the thinking cap on and get creative with gifts while on a college budget.

SMALL GIFTS MAKE A HUGE IMPACT Meaningful gifts come in all shapes and sizes.

There is no rule of gifting that it has to be a certain size.

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself or others when it comes to buying gifts.

A simple necklace for your mom or a gift card for your dad will bring joy to their

holiday spirits. A heartfelt gift will leave a big impact on your close ones.

USE YOUR TALENTS College students sometimes forget that their talents can bring joy and happiness to others.

If you are a photographer, go out and shoot a photo and frame it to make a unique gift for someone.

If you are an engineer, create a memory box for that special person in your life.

GIVE THE GIFT OF EXPERIENCE Some gifts won’t even have to cost you a dime. An easy gift of experience is giving a special tour of SMU. Show your family meaningful places to you on the beautiful campus.

You can never go wrong with good ol’ fashioned baked goods.

Who would not love something sweet after finals week?

This gift will satisfy their sweet tooth and won’t even put a dent in your wallet.

Baked goods such as brownies or cookies are easy to make and can put anyone in the holiday spirit.

LISA SALINAS Interactive Editor lmsalinas@smu.edu

Every year Santa Claus checks the list of names for the good boys and girls to give gifts to — but what people don’t know is that list includes dogs’ names too.

The leash is visible from one-quarter mile away in the dark and is 5-feet long.

Love knows no bounds

Gift for long-distance friendships and relationships SIEPHI CHAM Copy Editor scham@smu.edu When our loved ones are far away, sometimes sending gifts are our way of showing love and care when we can’t do it in the form of a hug or a cup of coffee.

However, there are many things we can do for our longdistance friends, family and significant others. Here are just a few:

“OPEN -WHEN” CARDS “Open-when” cards come in envelopes that specify a time during which they should be opened; for example, the envelopes might read, “Open when… you’re sad and need someone there” or “Open when… you get your first job promotion.”

They are a way you can be present in your loved ones’ lives and offer them your words even when they cannot connect with you in person.

SURPRISE DELIVERIES

Who says you can only get food delivered to yourself ? Play with the idea of a bouquet - the classic gift to send to someone for almost any occasion, especially on the holidays. Contact your loved ones’ local flower shop and ask them to deliver the flowers for you, or get a bouquet made from fruit through a shop such as Edible Arrangements.

CARE PACK AGES Combine the love languages “Acts of Service” and “GiftGiving” through the form of care packages. Send your loved one their favorite foods and snacks, along with small trinkets and items that they need and enjoy, such as office supplies, small blankets, vitamins and coloring books. Personalize it or even add a theme to it to brighten your loved ones’ day.

Pintrest

DIY MAGNENTS

Edible Arrangements are a fun, surprise delivery that your friend or partner will appreciate.

Create personalized and special DIY magnets to send to your loved one. Commemorate special memories by putting little

pictures in the magnets, or write short messages to put a smile on your loved ones’ faces.

GOP’s leadership direction unclear Last week I discussed where we should go forward from the election socially and achieving some sort of calm and an even plane for discussion should be the foremost priority. However, in addition to all of this, it is certain that many people are waiting to see where the Republican party will go from here – how will they use their newfound and somewhat unexpected power?

What makes the issue confusing is that the Republicans have made many promises in the last four years on how they would govern given the chance, and it is now their chance to implement these. But more people are concerned about all of the promises that Trump made throughout his candidacy.

Two of the main concerns are the Affordable Care Act and how Donald Trump will deal with immigrants and with his now-famous wall.

On the Affordable Care Act, recently in an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal, it was reported that “President-elect Donald Trump said he would consider

leaving in place certain parts of the Affordable Care Act, an indication of possible compromise” and a realization that he may be willing to negotiate, revise or alter his campaign policies.

Furthermore, on the subject of his immigration plans, some of his promises remain in place while other parts have seen some softening and changes.

Fox News reported Trump is repeating his deportation pledge for illegal immigrants with criminal records, and will make a determination on other illegal immigrants after securing the border with the wall. He has backed off from a solid wall securing the entire border, admitting that fencing may be used while holding to the idea of a physical barrier.

Additionally, Trump has responded to the acts of hatred, like the flyers on

the SMU campus, that have been done in his name with a firm disapproval and clear imperative that the behavior be stopped – which while it may not make the problem any better, hopefully reaffirms at least the decency and professionalism of Trump as president.

However, in all of the above, we see some variations in Trump’s platform. While some of this may be a factor of the realities of coming into transition, we are likely going to see lots of flipping, bargaining, and new policies emerging as Trump continues his transition and begins his presidency.

While considering whether Trump will retain power in four years is a long way away, what is certain is that the likelihood of his re-election will be largely determined in how he and his Republican colleagues govern moving forward from this election where they gained so much.

It is now the Republican’s chance to govern in earnest.

They will have to make good on at least some of the

promises that they have been making in the past years, since now they have the means and no excuse. If they fail, then they will be vulnerable both to a Democratic opponent and also to another Tea Party situation.

Hopefully Trump’s reported skill as a negotiator and dealmaker will allow him to find policies that will work for everyone in our diverse nation.

Even if the specific promises of Trump’s campaign are not realized in full, hopefully the policies enacted will be “on message” and cater to the Republican base – ideally while reaching out to more people, meeting a broader base’s needs while they are at it.

Whether Donald Trump will be able to be a successful president for everyone is yet to be seen, but for now all that can be done (short of protesting) is sit back and wait to see whether the Republican strategy will be to govern everyone via true compromise, or if they choose to take their power to deliver on the promises of the previous years regardless of bipartisanship.

Editor gives thanks despite election With all of the fear and shock that has come around with this election cycle, Thanksgiving could not have come at a better time. It is good to take a second to get some perspective about all that we do have in our country.

The Economy While disappointment about the economic situation was a driving force in the election, we do have a lot to be thankful for living in America’s economy. We have the highest GDP of any country in the world – which means that we have the most value of all goods and services produced.

On top of that, we do benefit from good infrastructure – with running water, good roads, waste disposal and clean cities.

While having money in the country and basic needs met might be setting the bar low in some people’s eyes, we do have a lot to be thankful for.

The Election Sure, this may not be

something that everyone is universally thankful for, but all things considered it could have been lot worse. Luckily, we did not have any vote recounts or legal challenges to the legitimacy of the election results. We avoided having any paralysis or fear over the unknown of who would be the next president – it was a clearcut victory with no major legal challenges.

Also, we can be incredibly thankful to live in a country where there is a peaceful transition of power. While there has been some violence and discrimination breaking

out among citizens, we can be thankful that the same violence or worse is not occurring between our politicians.

Everything Else And perhaps more than abstract things about our country, I am sure that most of us have families and friends that enrich our lives more than the economy or any election ever could. It hopefully is helpful to reflect on that and be thankful, rather than being fearful of the things that could go wrong.

Because if we do stop to think about it, hopefully we will find that we have much more to be thankful about than fearful for.

The first issue of “SMU Look” magazine was released on Nov. 17.

KENNEDY LOZANO Contributing Writer klozano@smu.edu The growing fashion community on SMU’s campus is in for a treat: the Hilltop’s first fashion magazine, “SMU Look,” went on newsstands around campus on Nov. 17.

Students were able to grab a copy of the first issue at the flagpole from 9:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Magazine staff members were also handing out copies of the inaugural issue all across campus.

Editor-in-chief India Pougher said she’s excited for the launch.

“This issue includes profiles on alumni, beautiful fashion features and more,”

Pougher said. “Students might also find photos of themselves in our street style section!”

In recent years, SMUTV has produced a fashion program, “The Look,” which includes a Style Squad, profiles of stylish SMU students and much more.

However, this is the first fashion magazine published by Student Media Company, in collaboration with the Fashion Media program in SMU’s Division of Journalism.

“I am extremely impressed by what our students have pulled off this semester,” said Camille Kraeplin, associate professor in journalism and fashion media.

“Essentially, they have conceived a fashion magazine – from the stories and fashion photo layouts to the design and fonts,” Kraeplin said.

“They even helped sell ads. – all in three months,” Kraeplin said. “Despite that timetable, the results are remarkable and extremely professional. I’m excited to see the final product.”

The staff is very excited to show the SMU community what they have been working on.

You can find the inaugural copy of “SMU Look” on select newsstands throughout the SMU campus and in the journalism department.

In gritty win, Tim Jankovich and SMU show they’re comfortable outside their comfort zone PATRICK ENGEL Associate Sports Editor pengel@smu.edu NEW YORK CITY – Tim Jankovich is never shy of sharing his preference for free-moving offense that flows: pretty offense with lots of cuts, screens and open 3-pointers. Through two games, his team ran exactly that.

In the 2K Classic semifinal Nov. 17, Pittsburgh didn’t allow SMU to run its pretty offense the way it wanted.

Forced out of its comfort zone for the first time this season, SMU didn’t fret.

Seeking an answer to stopping SMU’s 16-0 run, the Panthers switched to a 3-2 zone from their usual switcheverything man defense.

SMU didn’t score on it for the rest of the half.

Just five days earlier, SMU dismantled Eastern Michigan’s 2-3 zone with a pretty zone offense that Jankovich practiced and prepared all preseason. Even though Jankovich said he was ready for Pittsburgh’s reversal, that six-minute scoreless stretch looked like SMU players were in their first day of practicing zone

offense.

Trailing 33-31 at halftime, with SMU unable to run his pretty offense, Jankovich knew Pittsburgh would employ the zone again. Sure enough, the Panthers showed it three minutes into the second half. Regrouped and ready for it, SMU screened the bottom two defenders to set up an easy alley-oop for Semi Ojeleye, a play it repeatedly ran against Eastern Michigan.

Ojeleye’s dunk was a pretty and well-executed set, but not the norm for SMU in its 76-67 win. A game after

assisting on 26 of 29 made field goals, SMU assisted on only 12 of 30. Instead, SMU beat Pittsburgh by grabbing more offensive rebounds, forcing more turnovers and responding with a basket every time Pittsburgh threatened to go on a run.

Out-of-the-norm, yes. But the ability to adapt wasn’t.

“The last game we played, we attacked a defense as well as we could have hoped,” Jankovich said. “We were so efficient offensively. That was one way. Tonight, I thought we won with some grit.”

“I think that’s the way it’s

going to be with this group.

I think there will be different ways to win. They’ll be a lot of fun to coach.”

Part of the reason Jankovich likes this year’s team is the amount of time they spend in the gym outside of practice. It’s a reason he thinks his players can win in so many ways. He says he sees players working out on their own, outside of practice, at any time during the day.

Ojeleye, whose 24 points led all scorers, might be the most impressive out-ofpractice worker. Considering that’s all he could do for 23

months while sitting out after his transfer from Duke, it’s no surprise.

“He’s a machine. We’re blown away,” Jankovich said.

“We’ve been around a lot of hard-working guys. But you set your clock by this guy and it’s each and every day.

He can’t get enough. We’re begging him, ‘It’s the day of the game, you don’t need another four hours of work.’”

To stop that habit would be out of Ojeleye’s comfort zone. And it’s probably the only comfort zone SMU will never leave.

SMU beats Pittsburgh in 2K Classic with strong second half PATRICK ENGEL Associate Sports Editor pengel@smu.edu NEW YORK CITY – Playing in the world’s most famous arena with a chance to gain some national respect post-Larry Brown, SMU prevailed over Pittsburgh in the 2K Classic.

The teams met Nov. 17 after each played Gardner-Webb and Eastern Michigan to start their seasons, both looking for an early-season win against a high-major team.

SMU won 76-67 in a game of runs, despite its struggles guarding Pittsburgh forward Michael Young, who finished with 22 points and eight rebounds.

Semi Ojeleye scored 24

points and SMU shot 57 percent in the second half.

The Mustangs moved to 3-0 and will play the winner of Michigan-Marquette on Nov. 18.

Ojeleye scored 14 points in the first eight minutes of the second half. When Pittsburgh showed its 3-2 zone after he made a 3-pointer on SMU’s second possession of the half, SMU answered with an alley-oop to Ojeleye created by screening both bottom defenders. The Mustangs trailed for only 1:41 of the second half.

The Panthers led 33-31 at halftime and held SMU scoreless in the final 6:04 of the first half after they changed from a switcheverything man defender

to a 3-2 zone. SMU seemed unprepared for it, despite scoring 91 points on Eastern Michigan’s zone five days earlier. Before the switch, SMU went on a 16-0 run that ended with back-to-back 3s and a 31-20 lead.

SMU had chances to snap the run. Harry Froling missed an easy layup with 2:10 left and Ben Emelogu couldn’t tip in Ojeleye’s 3-point miss with 17 seconds left.

Whenever Pittsburgh threatened SMU’s lead in the second half, SMU had an answer. When Young’s layup with 10:32 left brought Pitt within five, Sterling Brown responded with a layup of his own. A pair of Young free throws with 4:52 left shrunk SMU’s lead to 63-59, but Ben

Moore followed with four straight points.

SMU grabbed 14 offensive rebounds, with Jarrey Foster getting four of them. Shake Milton had 14 points Ben Moore scored 12.

Young and Jamel Artis combined for 42 points. No one else on Pittsburgh’s roster scored in double figures.

Dashawn McDowell played a season-high 11 minutes for SMU, scoring five points and making his first career 3-pointer.

Froling, who made only one of his four 2-point attempts in SMU’s first two games, scored in the post on back-toback possessions in the first half. SMU’s third freshman, Tom Wilson, didn’t play in the game.

SMU defeats Pittsburgh in the 2K Classic.
