SMU get BCS bowl eligibility BROOKE WILLIAMSON into the Big 12 as well as Missouri to the SEC. Sports Editor kbwilliamson@smu.edu Following conference SMU has fulfilled their goal to join a Bowl Championship Series Automatic Qualifier (BCS AQ) conference with SMU Athletics joining the Big East in all sports. Along with SMU, the University of Central Florida and Houston will join the Big East in all sports while Boise State and San Diego will be members bound by football only. SMU, UCF and Houston will begin competing in the Big East beginning in the 2013-2014 academic school year. SMU takes part of conference realignment along with many other schools across the country including Texas A&M’s move from the Big 12 to the SEC, West Virginia’s move

realignment this past season was similar to trying to sort marbles while blindfolded—impossible. The 2013 Big East conference will not have east and west divisions until they reach a 12-team football conference. Returning to the BIG EAST will be Connecticut, Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers and South Florida. Joining them will be Boise State, San Diego State, Houston UCF and SMU. The Big East has been courting Air Force and Navy as football members only, however both schools have yet to commit. Many believe Navy, currently a football independent, has yet to join due

Big East means big basketball MERCEDES OWENS Sports Editor mmowens@smu.edu With SMU’s acceptance of the Big East Conference invitation, the Big D community is sure to see some change, especially on the basketball court. Not only is the Big East a Bowl Championship Series Automatic Qualifier conference, but it’s also the leading NCAA Division I basketball conference in the nation. Joining teams on the court such as DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Notre Dame, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall and Villanova

will benefit SMU’s basketball program tremendously. Donors, game day attendance, coast-to-coast recruitment, media and the branding of SMU are several areas of SMU that are sure to grow with the joining of the Big East conference. After the 2011 expansion of the Big East the conference now has the largest footprint of any other football conference in the nation. Crossing over eight state boarders and five regions from coast-to-coast, the new conference will allow SMU to have a larger recruiting base for

Crowds cheered and tubas bellowed as Hughes Trigg Student Center filled with more than 100 people to celebrate SMU’s joining the Big East Conference Thursday afternoon. For the first time since the days of the Southwest Conference, SMU will be playing against prominent athletic competition. SMU President R. Gerald Turner and Big East Commissioner John Marinatto were among those who spoke at the event. After absorbing SMU and four other universities, Commissioner Marinatto said that the Big East will have “by far the largest footprint of any Division I conference in the country.” President Turner believes that the move will not just benefit

SMU but the community at large. “If SMU has that sort of visibility, just think about it, how much more visible Dallas will be,” Turner said. By joining the Big East, many doors will open for SMU athletic teams. The Big East is an extremely competitive basketball conference for both men and women. “We take hoops very seriously,” Marinatto said. The conference includes basketball powerhouses such as Syracuse, University of Connecticut, Villanova and Georgetown. Big East men’s teams have won the national championship three out of the last nine years while women have won it seven of the last twelve years. Despite the recent success of Big East basketball teams,

student athletes are excited for the opportunity to play greater competition. Senior Samantha Mahnesmith believes the conference shake up will have a major impact on the team. “It’s going to be better for us. It will raise our level of competition and I think we’re ready for it,” Mahnesmith said. Additionally, the football regular season champion of the Big East Conference is automatically qualified to participate in one of the five BCS bowl games. Student Body President Austin Prentice had a gift for Commissioner Marinatto, He presented the commissioner with a SMU football helmet. “After being a member of the Southwest Conference for over seventy years, primetime athletics is not only what SMU deserves, but also supports,” Prentice

said. Marinatto returned the favor by giving the student body with a helmet emblazoned with the Big East logo. To close out the ceremony, June Jones presented the BBVA Compass Bowl trophy to president R. Gerald Turner. The Mustangs won the bowl game 28-6 against the University of Pittsburgh on Jan. 7. SMU will become a full member in all sports of the Big East Conference at the beginning of the 2013 to 2014 school year. As president Turner said“Thirteen will be a big year at SMU.”

Textbooks on the cheap

Dickens best works visit DeGoyler

PARTH SHETH Staff Writer pmsheth@smu.edu It may still be January, but it is never too early to start thinking about Spring Break. While visions of sandy beaches and sunny skies are a welcome change from this dreary winter weather, spring break can also be very expensive and requires students to start saving well ahead of time. The solution? Save money by getting cheap textbooks. Some students order their books directly from the bookstore simply because this is convenient. However, if you’re willing to spend a little bit of time searching, you can save hundreds of dollars. Questions that may pop into students’ heads when looking for textbooks are whether to buy or to rent their textbooks and where they can get books for the best prices. An alternative to buying books from the bookstore is ordering your books online from websites such as Amazon, Chegg or eBay.

Per onal Finan e Amazon allows you to buy books directly from the site for a reasonably discounted price. You own the book while you use it for the semester and after you are done with it, you have the option to sell it back to Amazon. The only catch is that they usually will give you about twothirds of the money you paid for it. So, you are essentially paying a third of the price to “rent” the book. You can also buy textbooks from other sellers on Amazon if you do not want to go through the company itself. Chegg is an online bookstore that has been called the “Netflix of textbooks.” This company sells and rents books out to students with a specific due date on each book (usually in June or December). If you rent from Chegg, know that you can highlight the pages — but not write on them.

As a bonus for those of you who are environmentally conscious, Chegg promises to plant one tree for each book order it receives. The company has planted over 5 million trees worldwide to help restore wildlife habitats and regenerate areas damaged by forest fires and forest clearing. Lastly, eBay is another good place to find cheaper books. Like Amazon, you can order textbooks from other individuals or from bookstores. The advantage of this is that you can get a used or even new textbook for a relatively good price. The downside is that the seller may or may not be reliable. You can help protect yourself from unscrupulous sellers by checking the seller ratings and feedback. Finally, the up-and-coming trend in technology today is tablets and e-readers, which are primarily used to read digital books but have other applications as well. You can now rent and buy digital editions of textbooks that are identical to the physical books

RAHFIN FARUK News Editor rfaruk@smu.edu A rare collection of books and historical memorabilia from Charles Dickens—arguably the most prominent author of the Victorian period—will be on display at DeGolyer Library until May 12. Dickens achieved fame during the Victorian period for his periodical style of writing that involved monthly cliffhangers and summaries. Formally named “Charles Dickens: The First Two Hundred Years,” the collection comes from Stephen Weeks, an SMU parent. The DeGolyer Library and the Friends of the SMU Libraries are sponsoring the exhibition. “It is an honor to have such a treasure at our libraries,” Pamalla Anderson, head of public services at the DeGolyer Library, said. “It is an absolute joy to see these pieces.” The collection contains many first edition publications from “David Copperfield” to “A Tale

of Two Cities.” Lesser known works like “Little Dorrit,” “Bleak House” and “Dombey and Son” are also on display. More eclectic collections include “The Opinion of the Press” by Dickens’ scholar, B.W. Matz, and “Dickens’s Dictionary of London, 1886: An Unconventional Handbook,” a dictionary printed without Dickens’ permission. Prominent Dickens illustrators like George Cruikshank have numerous pieces in the exhibition. Cruikshank produced more than 15,000 book illustrations throughout his lifetime. His works are so precise in detail that many historians look to them for more knowledge about Victorian architecture and clothing. “We have school groups and archivists coming in. Kids and adults are interested to see what we have here,” Anderson said. “It is much more than just a ‘wow’ factor.” The DeGolyer Library is optimistic about the number of people that will come visit

the exhibition in the upcoming months. “We hope the English department and students come in to see the pieces,” Anderson said. “Even history majors studying the Victorian era will get a lot out of this collection.” Local high school and university students have been encouraged to plan fieldtrips to DeGolyer. But the exhibition has also sparked national interest. “I have already sold material to people from Rhode Island and New York,” Anderson said. With some of Dickens’ first editions running in the thousands, the collection is valuable from both a monetary and magnitude standpoint. “We have Dickens’ top 200 pieces on display in commemoration of 2012 being 200 years from his birth,” Anderson said. “Anyone that wants a rich context for that time in history from much more than a literary standpoint should come give it a look.”

Spring TIME KIAN HERVEY Style Writer khervey@smu.edu

Time management is the essence of every college student’s existence. Between studying, sleeping and socializing, 24 hours can easily pass by. Getting a grip on time management starts with reaching for some strong hands: the hour and minute hand on a shiny new watch. While some may find it annoying, the rhythmic ticking of a watch makes one distinctly aware that time is slipping away. Wasting time becomes second nature when you’re constantly aware of the hours and minutes left in a day. The hour before class doesn’t surprisingly turn into a mere twenty minutes when you’re wearing a watch. Switching from campus life to corporate life for interviews, internships, and work becomes easier as well. A watch reveals time sensitivity and practicality that receives praise from employers and peers. Old watches may have been bulky and boring, but modern watches are a reflection of values,

personality and lifestyle. Just like the human face is the window to the soul, the watch face is a window to time management. Macro-manage? Traditional ticks and numbers work for you. Micro-manage? Digital readouts and second hands work for you. A simple glance at your wrist face can let you know how much time is left before you go. Modern watch sizes go one of two directions: big or small. As picking a face is based on time management style, picking a size is based on personal wrist size. Small wrist, small watch. Big wrist, big watch. Mixing and matching could be fun or a disaster; it all depends on the watch material. Metal watches emphasize sturdiness and stability, another employee-impressing bonus. Silver and gold are the traditional colors of the metallic spectrum, but the range has expanded to include rose gold, a cooper and gold alloy, and black metal, a variation of steel. Feminine or masculine, metal is a good choice. While metal options are growing, nothing can compare to the stylistic diversity of silicon. Moving from cookware to wrist

wear, silicon is advantageous for many reasons. It’s sturdy like metal, but flexible and colorful. Silicon watches emphasize flexibility, an important part of time management. In a perfect world, actually sticking to the four hours allotted for studying would be wonderful. But things change. Real time management is taking the punches and rolling with it. Forgot the gym today? Plan for some extra reps tomorrow. It’s all about having the tools to succeed, whether it’s a notebook planner, ALEC time awareness sheet, or a Michael Kors rose gold watch. Keeping track of time via wristwatch may not be for everyone, but there’s definitely a watch out there for everyone. As they creep into the accessory world, watches are getting bigger and better in terms of function, size and material. Purchasing a watch is a best way to beat the clock for the spring semester. With time on your side, or your wrist, there’s not telling what you can accomplish or where you can go this semester. Wind it up and watch you go.

WaterTower impresses with ‘Anne Frank’ Chase Wade Managing Editor cdwade@smu.edu Addison’s WaterTower Theatre isn’t particularly known for its hard-hitting, heavy subject plays. The always-consistent playhouse leans toward the lighter side of plays and shows for the bulk of its season. However, in their new show, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” WaterTower Theatre tackles the classic holocaust story of a young girl’s tale of hiding in the attic of her father’s shop, hoping to avoid the Nazi regime. Directed by Terri Martin, WaterTower’s retelling of one of the world’s most well known stories is an honest and accurate staged play that has moments touching both sides of the emotional spectrum. Playing the title character is Molly Franco. Franco’s portrayal of Anne is much giddier than one would think. Franco easily captures the spirit of a young care free child and uses it to propel her role on stage. However, Frano has to be careful not to seem too kid like. At times, Franco’s Anne seems a tad too childish but when the actress needs to be serious, Franco bears down and delivers. With a wide grin and hurricane-like gestures, Franco prances her way around stage capturing the audience’s heart with every light step. While Franco may be the star, a number of her supporting cast members shine as well. Travis Tope delivers a solid performance playing Peter Van Daan, Anne’s romantic interest that develops while in the attic. For someone so young, Tope shows maturity and refinement in his line delivery and timing. Tope, a recent graduate of Plano West High School, possesses the acting abilities that people ten years his elder don’t have. Another standout comes through Tope’s one stage mom, Mrs. Van Daan, played by Lucia A. Welch. Welch does a fine job playing the attic’s most pampered tenant. She’s funny when she needs to be, but can be serious in a snap. Martin’s direction is precise with this play as he blends the use of light, sound and stage to make a show about a diary feel as personal as a diary should be. Particularly good moments come when the stage goes black and a lone spotlight is shone on Franco as she delivers sometimes-chilling readings of Anne’s diary. Credit is due to the stage designer, Clare Floyd Devries, who constructed an open, yet somehow intimate, stage that works seamlessly as the family’s hideaway. In one of the most abrupt change in emotion that this critic has ever seen, the play concludes with the family’s eventual capture. Stan Graner, who plays Anne’s father Otto Frank, delivers a mournal monologue commemorating the ones he lost to the hand of the Nazis. This is perhaps the play’s most chilling moment. As a whole, WaterTower’s “Anne Frank” is a solid staged play that ultimately plays tribute to the human spirit and the good and evil it can be capable of. With a solid cast, great direction and an interesting stage, “The Diary of Anne Frank” is the perfect piece for WaterTower to ring in the New Year. “The Diary of Anne Frank” runs until Jan. 29 at the WaterTower Theater in Addison, Texas.

Pollock Gallery opens nude drawing exhibit in Hughes-Trigg Center Katelyn Hall Assoc. A&E Editor khall@smu.edu Most students would not expect to see an American masterpiece in Hughes-Trigg Student Center. But nestled amongst the mundane daily services of SMU’s central hub is The Pollock Gallery, which plays host to a number of artistic exhibits every year. Students can now head over to the gallery to see a breathtaking array of pieces from American artists as part of the current exhibit “Unadorned: Drawings of the Nude.” The exhibit features works by artists Nathan Oliveira, Sigmund Abeles, Lois Dodd and John Lincoln from the Pollock Gallery’s paper collection. Despite all works featuring a nude person, each artist sheds a different light on the subject matter. “We tried to get as many points of view as possible so that you could see just what these artists are capable of,” said Ben Bascombe, deputy director of the Pollock Gallery. “We wanted to show artists engaging with the nude, … to show pieces that showcased these artists’ talents most specifically,”

Bascombe said. Directed by art professor Philip Van Keuren, The Pollock Gallery is mainly geared toward art majors, but all students can learn something from this exhibit. “It really is the student body that we are trying to target as an audience, primarily the art students, but also the greater community,” Bascombe said. “We are an academic tool for students to learn more.” David Doyle, Director of the University Honors Program thinks the Pollock Gallery is a great resource for students. “I think it’s very important,” Doyle said. “Everyone should go visit it.” Bascombe believes this exhibit has a lot to offer the student body. “[Students] could gain an appreciation of an artistic experience,” Bascombe said. “They could enrich their lives by these beautiful works that we have on display.” “The human form has been a long tradition in art, so it’s a great opportunity,” Bascombe said. The current exhibit on nude drawings is just one of many exhibits put on by the Pollock Gallery each academic year. Last semester, the gallery hosted an exhibit featuring self-taught masters of American

art, and later in this semester, the Pollock will feature art by prominent New York artist Robert Moskowitz. Junior Alex Katsorelos never knew that the gallery existed, but now says she would enjoy visiting it. “I didn’t know there was a gallery located in Hughes-Trigg, but I think that it’s awesome,” Katsorelos said. “I’ve always liked the Meadows Museum, so I think it’s great to have something in Hughes-Trigg.”

SPENCER J EGGERS/The Daily

Sophomore Kaleigh Schropp agrees. “I didn’t know there was gallery in Hughes-Trigg, but I’m always looking for a way to discover new art.” The exhibit is open until Feb. 11, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday except Wednesday.

Column

Misleading definitions mask debate michael dearman mdearman@smu.edu It is certainly campaign season, and that means incendiary rhetoric about a myriad of issues that concern you. All issues that are up for discussion among presidential hopefuls concern your rights, liberties, and well-being, but there is one issue among the rest that I would like to highlight which is muddled in ambiguity: national security. National security is at once an extremely broad issue, with many tentacles in all realms of American life be it the economy, civil liberties, education, airport safety, etc. In that regard, it is extremely hard to pin down what national security really is or what the implications of national security polices are. When candidates debate the state of national security and what their ideas and policies would be, they do little to clarify exactly what they mean by, well, anything. Of course, this is a political technique — don’t say what you mean, actually, don’t say much of anything at all. As a voter, however, it is your task to decide what you think about these issues, interpret the debates, and make an informed and reasoned decision about the varying opinions. The very basis of the reasoning process is in defining the terms of discussion. In national security, this is exceedingly important. What do we mean by “terrorist” or “War on Terror,” for example? Likewise, what liberties do you hold so dear that you would never give up to national security policies? The implications of what we mean by certain words are extremely far-reaching. How we define a war impacts how we fight that war and how we treat enemy combatants. As the U.S. is in the “War on Terror,” what specifically do we mean by that? On one level, the war is ideological; that we oppose, on a theoretical level, the use of violence against innocents or symbolic targets for the sake of a political agenda. But if the war is ideological, then is it passive or active? If the U.S. were passive towards terror, but ideologically opposed, we might make statements denouncing terror, but not actually hunt down terrorists. In that the “War on Terror” may be ideological, but it is also active. The U.S. is ideologically opposed to terror, but also physically interested in stopping it. Because terror is a tool that anyone, really, anyone with enough willpower, can take up against a nation, the object of the “War on Terror” is hardly defined. We are fighting against an idea and a strategy, not a particular group.We have numerous terrorist groups in the United States ranging from ecological terrorists to militia groups to hate groups, but we do not label them enemy combatants in this “War on Terror.” They are viewed, often, as criminals. Their use of terror, however, is the same as Islamic extremists which are the real target of the war. But I will leave the inconsistencies of these definitions for you to discern on your own. I merely wanted to use the “War of Terror” as a sample of just one topic that needs serious consideration in the coming election. Do candidates really know the implications of their policy? Do we, listening to these candidates, even know what the candidates mean when they use certain words? I encourage you to consult with your professors and peers about what candidates mean by what they say. For all the rhetorical flourishes, candidates may not be saying anything at all.

The Rick Perry for President campaign has come to an end. In the coming days and weeks, the campaign’s demise will be dissected thoroughly. The commentariat will offer sundry opinions on why his bid for the presidency failed. The implications for Texas and for the Republican Party are sure to be of considerable consequence. It certainly seems to me that the national stage proved too big for Perry, and he found his deficiencies exposed beneath the glare of a great spotlight. The “Strong” ad aired by the campaign will be viewed as an embarrassing and shameful historical artifact of bigotry at its worst, worthy of all the condemnation it received nationally and more. However, rather than engage in the typical analysis of “politics as a horse race” that our national political conversation has become, I would like to step back from partisan considerations for a moment and consider what the Rick Perry campaign says about us as a country culturally, and more specifically, about our complex relationship with leaders. The Perry campaign, and more specifically Rick Perry himself, proves instructive in a universal way on the nature of leadership. It would be a Herculean task to find an individual who more completely “looks the part”

of President than Rick Perry (Mitt Romney lacks a certain self-assured insouciance, an impossible effortlessness that the American President must have to truly capture the popular imagination). Possessed of idealized good looks befitting the classic image of “the President,” an undeniable swagger communicative of a boundless reservoir of selfconfidence, and a personal magnetism that establishes his presence in any room, Perry looks like the handsome leader that should hold elected office. However, this individual sent straight from central casting to play the part of the governor, of the president, revealed himself to be merely that: an actor. Perry serves as a case study in what we want our leaders to be. To a frighteningly significant degree, the fact that Perry looks

like the President has been the foundation of and the driving force in his political career. It is a basic truth of humanity: people want to be led. Even in a country like the United States where personal independence, and self-reliance are venerated above almost all other values, people want to be led. However, people do not want to be led by just anybody. They want to be led by a man blessed with masculine good looks and a powerful voice. They want to be led by a man that towers over those around him, in both physical height and force of personality. They want to be led by a man that projects absolute confidence in the prudence of his decisions and in the safety of the country. They want to be led by a man that instills faith in the future. A man endowed with such gifts

would be worthy of the sacred responsibility of leading the United States of America, at least according to the private inner thoughts of most citizens. I am of the opinion that the visceral reaction Governor Perry’s campaign has elicited from the American people represents a sort of national self-reproach. In many ways, it seems that Rick Perry has forced voters to confront their own worst selves. The man that looks the way we want the president to look, the man that so perfectly conforms to our shared national imagination of the president, has turned out to be incapable of performing the duties of our nation’s highest office. “We the people” feel embarrassed and ashamed that the man who so precisely embodies the ideal leader we have crafted in the public consciousness should prove such an unmitigated failure. “We the people” feel guilty for prizing image and appearances at the expense of substance and content. “We the people” feel such humiliation because we realize that perhaps the real fault lies not with Rick Perry, but instead the real fault lies with us for seeking someone that looks like the leader instead of seeking someone that is the leader.

Big East means big things for SMU BRAD RAY bray@smu.edu

After nearly three years lost in the wilderness, SMU football has returned to relevance. There are many people to thank for this, including the school’s administration, the athletic director’s office, the Circle of Champions (the group of boosters who laid down the money to hire June Jones) and of course June Jones himself. My friends know that I don’t always agree with Jones and am often vocal about that, but even I have got to hand it to him: he’s done it. Dr. Turner and Steve Orsini have given June the tools to succeed and he has put them to good use. Each year our team gets better and better, and we continue to be on an upward trend.

This is an exciting time to be at SMU, but 2013 will be even more exciting because that marks the time when SMU will enter the Big East conference. The Big East, an “automatic qualifier” for the BCS system, is an immeasurable upgrade over Conference USA. The Big East is a truly “national” conference in the public eye. Even though the transition may be rough with the increased competition, simply being in the conference offers huge benefits. Monetarily, the money distributed to each school is many times higher than Conference USA’s payout. This money will be a huge asset to SMU’s growing program, hopefully allowing for things such as an aggressive marketing plan to bring SMU fandom to Dallas as a whole. Currently in Conference

USA, there simply isn’t enough money to support a marketing department. Hopefully this infusion will further increase attendance and number of Mustang fans in general. The Big East is an incredible opportunity that opens so many doors. I am one of the biggest fans of SMU football you will find. I am one of seven Mustangs in my family. I attended my first SMU football game while I was only a few months old and have followed the team ever since. I am so excited to see our team catapulted into the spotlight in an AQ conference. Rather than playing schools no one has heard of, the Ponies will take on teams such as Boise State. Being in the Big East offers SMU the chance to truly (re) make a name for itself and

remind football fans everywhere that SMU has a pretty great team. By joining the Big East, SMU has proven that it is back on track and is returning to its football roots. As mentioned above, this incredible opportunity would not be possible without the help of so many people across the University. I, as a fan, am eternally grateful to everyone who has played a part in SMU’s conference realignment. So many doors are opened because of this move, and it is a great time to be a Mustang. On a lighter note...all those Big East mascots better watch out when Peruna comes to visit them. Wouldn’t want another Fordham Ram, now would we? Brad is a junior majoring in mechanical engineering.

This semester, don’t overload yourself BRANDON BUB opinion editor bbub@smu.edu

For those who still haven’t nailed down an ideal schedule, you still have until Monday before the add/drop deadline passes. That gives you an entire weekend to think about whether or not you really want to devote a whole semester to the nuances of cost/benefit analysis (or any other subject, for that matter. I only pick on economists to anger my roommate). Last semester I remember writing about class selection and the importance of picking a schedule that was not only ideal in terms of class times but also academic challenge. There’s nothing wrong with taking less intense classes, but sometimes the more difficult ones yield the greatest reward. It’s important not to close yourself off to a particular class just because it might be especially difficult. But I also want to give as much attention to the opposite problem: biting off more than

you can chew. Most of us undergrads are only allowed to take up to 18 credit hours per semester. That usually equates to six unique classes, which translates to a sizeable amount of work already. However, as many of my friends have discovered, there are some easy workarounds to taking even more. I’ve noticed this tendency to overload with credit hours is especially prevalent among students in more scientific fields: I can’t think of a single one of my engineering or pre-med friends who isn’t taking at least 20 hours this semester. They make my 19 hour schedule look like a cakewalk in comparison. There’s nothing wrong with being an overachiever (or at least I hope there isn’t). A lot of people who are fitting in hour-intensive majors or multiple majors and minors often don’t have a choice but to take ridiculous amounts of credit hours each semester. Couple that with internships, leadership positions, academic

research, Greek life and whatever other commitments one might have during the school year, and a person might begin to wonder what the term “free time” means. However, I think in college especially there exists tremendous pressure for students to overload themselves. It feels like from the moment we start at orientation we’re inundated with information about extracurricular clubs and activities. “Get involved” is a common refrain. And I agree that getting involved is a great thing. College offers a chance for you to experience so much in such a short amount of time and I think you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t take advantage of all the opportunities around you. But being involved just for the sake of being involved isn’t always wise. When you end up being president of five different groups and try to work three separate jobs in addition to all the schoolwork you have to do

on the side, it becomes pretty apparent that you simply can’t give your 100 percent to any one activity. Of course we all want to look impressive and build powerful resumes, but you have to remember that you simply can’t do everything. Think about all of the groups and activities you’re involved with. Consider whether or not you’re really passionate about what those groups are about. Then consider how much time you find yourself dedicating to that group. If you’re putting in significant amounts of time with little payoff, reconsider your priorities. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and if you find that you’re overcommitting yourself it becomes nearly impossible to do anything well. If making your activities more manageable entails dropping a club, class or job, then perhaps that’s a course of action worth considering. Brandon is a sophomore majoring in English.

FOOTBALL: Finally BCS eligible Continued from page 1

due to “loose ends,” but is expected to join. The possible addition of Navy and Air Force could come as late as 2014 or 2015 because of scheduling logistics. The new additions to the Big East will benefit the conference greatly in television as well

as football. Boise State having one of the most successful programs in the nation the last few years going 72-6 over the last five seasons will add credibility. Houston adds to the mix having gone to a bowl game six of the last seven seasons.

Closest to home, SMU has gone to three straight bowl games, leaving as champions twice, most recently in their win over former Big East member Pitt. Several studies rank Houston’s television market between sixth and tenth in the nation. Above Houston, Dallas is the

fifth-largest TV market and UCF, located in Orlando is somewhere between the 18th and 20th largest television market. These rankings give the Big East and its members more interaction with fans and viewers across the country ultimately helping income.

to have a larger recruiting base for players and coaches. Sixteen teams from the conference have made Final Four appearances and the BIG EAST holds six NCAA Championships, more than any other conference. While many worry that the Mustang program is not at the level needed to compete with other leading programs, proof

that their doubts should be cast aside is in the records. During the 2010 to 2011 season, SMU finished with 20 wins and competed in a postseason tournament for the first time in a decade. With the start of the 2011 to 2012 season, the recent recruits have already proven to be a force to be reckoned with. True freshman Jalen Jones is

averaging eight points a game early on in the season. The guard has also been a leading scorer for the Mustangs along with fellow freshman Ryan Manuel. To bring in the New Year strong, Manuel rallied 13 points off the bench to lead SMU to victory against Louisiana Tech on Dec. 31.

With young talent and only more to come, SMU is pushing forward to becoming a top school in academics and athletics. How will the Big East have negative impacts on SMU? Only time will tell. Until then, it will be interesting to see the basketball program expand to keep up with the leading college teams in the nation.

Senior forward Robert Nyakundi scans the court for an opening during Wednesday evening’s match against Houston in Moody Coliseum.

Mustangs defeat Houston, 70-54 Brooke Williamson Sports Editor kbwilliamson@smu.edu A little over eight minutes remained in Wednesday nights men’s basketball game against Houston when the score was 53-44. Houston’s Joseph Young hit a three pointer making the score 53-47 but SMU continued with 10 unanswered points. Houston was not able to get closer than 11 points the rest of the game giving SMU a 70-54 victory over Conference USA rivals, Houston. SMU’s London Giles tied a career-high five three-pointers and scored 16 points. Robert Nyakundi added another 15 points while Shawn Williams and Jalen Jones both put up 11 points each. SMU will travel to Memphis on Saturday for a scheduled noon tipoff against the Tigers. The Mustangs are currently 2-2 in league play, which ties the best start

to a season since joining C-USA in 2006.

SMU Seniors Arthur Ivo and Ian Kalis were both chosen in Major League Soccer’s supplemental draft. Ivo was drafted first when Toronto FC selected him with the fourth pick in the third round. One round later, Kalis was taken with the 11th pick by FC Dallas. As a senior, Ivo led the Mustangs in goals with 10, in assists with 10, in points with 30, and in gamewinning goals with four. He probably had his best game against Marshall in the Conference USA tournament quarterfinals, where he recorded a hat trick, including the game-winner.

SMU would go on to win the C-USA championship. Kalis, as a defender for the Mustangs, also had a solid season. The senior started 20 games for the Mustangs, averaging 82.4 minutes per game. In addition to tough defensive play, Kalis had a few highlights on the offensive end as well. He scored his first career goal versus Oakland this season and assisted on the game-winning goal against Missouri State. Playing for FC Dallas, Kalis, who is from nearby Plano, should receive a lot of home support. Diogo de Almeida was drafted by Real Salt Lake earlier this week. He was selected fifth in the second round, making him the 24th overall pick.

However, if something happens to your device, you will not have access to any of your textbooks.
