Students combat sexual assault
Fighting for Fugate

Students are preparing to launch an independent campaign against sexual assaults in the SMU community next month. “Students were not taking ownership,” said Ramon Trespalacios, current Student Body President, of the on-campus sexual assault epidemic. “When students decide to do something together, that’s when change happens.” The idea for the campaign has come out of a number of brainstorming sessions by a growing group of students who initially came to Trespalacios seeking advice. Now, the movement is well underway and more members of the student body and coming together to demand change from each other. “It will be an initiative of students where we will ask students to stop being silent about [the issue of sexual assaults] and take action against it,” Trespalacios said. “Given the number of sexual assaults we experienced on campus last year, we wanted to start a sort of grassroots movement,” said Student Body Vice President Jaywin Malhi. “[It’s] students creating pressure for their peers not to do these things.” Malhi explained the ultimate goal is to ensure the number of sexual assaults on SMU campus reduces each year. However, Malhi made clear that that goal should not come at the expense of students reporting fewer incidents.

“Some saw [the many sexual assaults reported in fall 2013] as discouragement,” Malhi said, “[but] sometimes numbers don’t tell the whole truth. There is some solace in knowing students are reporting assaults when they happen.” Malhi explained that the campaign elements of the new movement will be “pushing the envelope a little bit further,” including posters featuring SMU student leaders with the message “not on my campus” written across their hands. Trespalacios explained that students who want to join the movement would be asked to sign a pledge agreeing to uphold five statements. One paramount assertion the campaign will emphasize is, “drunk sex is not consensual sex.”

Starting a new career, renting an apartment, buying a new car and even finding love is what many college students expect their futures hold for them when they graduate. Oct. 31 is also a night that most college students see as a night of partying. It’s what SMU alum Jennifer Fugate expected when she start her last semester at SMU in fall 2013. For Fugate, Oct. 31, 2013 was the day when her entire life was flipped upside down. She was admitted into Baylor Hospital at Plano after suffering from severe pain in her right hip for about three months. “It was literally the worst timing ever,” Fugate said. “A month before college ended.” An electrical engineering major, she had four job offers, including two from John Deere and General Motors, which she was deciding on. She had to turn all four down. Fugate’s right hip was four times bigger than her left hip and after a high contrast MRI, doctors found a tumor. The tumor was so large that it broke her hip in half. Her team of 10 doctors at Baylor couldn’t pinpoint the specific type of cancer and sent her lab results to Harvard. “At one point, no one could figure it out,” Fugate said. “My insurance company wanted to kick me out of the hospital because the doctors couldn’t do anything.” She was on pain medication every two hours. “This period was such haze,”
Fugate said. “I couldn’t walk at all. I had to have help to the bathroom, it was embarrassing. I used to be so independent.” Fugate’s mom had to speak to several doctors before the third doctor gave Fuagete tests that allowed her to stay in the hospital. “You can’t just lay in the hospital,” Fugate said. “It was crazy, I can’t go home when I can’t function.” After Harvard tried three times to narrow her diagnose down, she was diagnosed with an Ewing like Sarcoma. Her specific type of cancer is only found in .6 percent of the population. Fugate was at Baylor from Halloween to mid November. She lost almost 30 lbs. in that period. She had about 200 visitors come through her room. “When you get sick like that, your true friends step up,” Fugate said. “Goodies, care packages, so many letters. It’s been crazy I don’t know how to thank them. Words don’t do the job.” The day the letter from Harvard came in the mail, Fugate was leaving to go to M.D Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, a hospital that is considered “the number one center for Sarcoma,” for an appointment. After being put on Morphine, Fentinol and Haldol, Fugate overdosed on painkillers. She was put on chemotherapy and after 24 hours it helped. “I haven’t had a pain killer since then,” Fugate said.

for their Thanksgiving dinner in Houston. “The hardest part is I am a 22 college graduate and instead having fun skating or going uptown, I am in a hospital on Saturday night,” said Fugate. “The fact that I am young and I’m not doing stuff. Now I’m in a wheel chair and it sucks.” Fugate was prescribed 14 21-day cycles of chemotherapy. Although she has been discharged from
Anderson, she has to be within an hour of the hospital in case of emergency. Her doctor gave her special permission to attend her graduation. Fugate sat in a wheel chair in the front row on left corner. “I still wore my red heels I’ve been planning to wearing since day one,” Fugate said. “People said I was crazy since I could

Black History Month at SMU kicks off Saturday Jehadu Abshiro News Writer jabshiro@smu.edu The annual Black History Month activities, sponsored by Multicultural Student Affairs, begins Feb.1 with guest speaker ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith in Hughes-Trigg Student Center at 6 p.m. Along with special guest speaker, there will be several discussions on a variety of subjects. Attendance to the events tends to be one side, according to Multicultural Student Affairs Coordinator Melanie Johnson.
“A lot of people think Black History Month is for black students only,” said Johnson. “Black history month, along with our other heritage months, is about educating the campus as a whole about that culture.” The discussion on Feb. 10, “What’s in a Name?” will discuss the difference between African Americans who have immigrated from Africa and Black Americans who don’t know exactly where they are from in Africa. “A lot of people don’t understand the different cultures. They are totally two different cultures,” said Johnson. “It’s something a lot of people could
get something out of.” National Pan-Hellenic Council’s Delta Sigma Theta will be hosting Family Feud Delta Edition Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. On Feb. 23, SMU’s Voices of Inspiration will host “ Gospel Music in America: History in Song” in Hughes-Trigg at 7 p.m. “Progression of the Black Woman,” co-sponserd by Sisters Supporting Sisters, will study the history of the everyday Black American woman from slavery to present day on Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. Students Devean Owens and D’Marquise Allen are co-chairs of

Pervez Amirali Hoodbhoy, renowned nuclear physicist and member on the Advisory Board for Nuclear Disarmamation Matters, appointed by the UN Secretary General, spoke at SMU on Saturday at the Conference on Human Rights: Crisis in South Asia 2014. The conference was organized by South Asia Democracy Watch (SADEW) in partnership with SMU Embrey Human Rights Program. The conference was arranged to create awareness on the human rights crisis, particularly religious persecution, in South East Asia, President of SADEW Qaisar Abbas said. Hoodbhoy said the “biggest threat to Muslims comes not from the west, but [from] themselves,” as there is inter-factional violence. He said the “process of division is not going to stop, even if it’s a Sunni State” because then there will be a division between the Wahabi’s and Barelvis, for example.

“Living in the U.S., you can practice your religion the way you like,” Hoodbhoy said. However, the same is not true for most other areas of the world. Hoodbhoy emphasized the idea of separation of church and state, and not governing people from what one interprets as his or her God’s commands. It is time “apologists for Taliban are told to shut up,” Hoodbhoy said of the of religious persecution by terrorists, advising against any negotiation. “Why should you try to talk to monsters like that?” Working to alleviating human
rights issues partially lies in incorporating human rights education in the overall college course curriculum, according to Rick Halperin, Director of Embrey’s Human Rights Program. “There are 3500 universities in this country, and only six of them offer a degree in human rights education,” Halperin said. “Human rights should be taught at every school much like biology and mathematics…” We have a responsibility to educate young people, said Andrea Pearson-Haas, director of operations at the Bakhta Foundation — a nonprofit working to educate underprivileged youth in Pakistan. “Education is not just about sitting in a classroom and reading a book, but it is gaining the ability to interact with the community, and one thing students can do is attend informative conferences like these,” Pearson-Haas said. According to speakers, students lay at the heart of fixing the issues. “Young people must have their voices heard,” Hoodbhoy said.

Identifying creative minds and workplace productivity Eastan croson Health and Fitness Editor ecroson@smu.edu Today, workers are putting in more hours than ever before, making the 40-hour week a thing of the past. The push for employees to clock in earlier might be costing some people more than they think. Working a 9-to-5 week isn’t easy on anyone, but more rightbrained individuals might be struggling the most. There is a possibility that a person could be too creative for a 9-to-5 job. For those who don’t mind being in the office everyday for decades, the problems facing creative people might not be so apparent. Helping to identify the creative brain, here are a few signs that a person could be too creative for the typical workplace. 1. A person feels less productive early in the morning. Academic research done by neuroscientist Kenneth Wright indicates that cognition is best several hours prior to habitual sleep time and worst near habitual wake time. This suggests that a person’s best work is not done first thing in the morning, but often later on in the day. A creative person learns to understand that his or her best work won’t get done till then. It can take up to 4 hours for the mind to reach full awareness

and alertness, and in that time, it won’t be making the best of decisions. 2. Working in a cubicle is one’s worst nightmare. When it comes to creativity, the environment in which a person works is key. As a creative individual, a person understands that there is a science to creativity, which is why he or she can’t get his or her work done in a cubicle. The typical work environment for a

9-to-5 job may be to blame for the unrealized potential of countless creative workers. A cubicle is the type of environment that could make any creative mind simply a mind. A cubicle is literally a box a person is placed to work in, and how can a creative person think outside of the box if they are forced to work inside one? 3. Eight hours in a day doesn’t work for that person’s brain.

The 9-to-5 routine is not a good fit for the brain of creative people. Most people don’t mind the daily routine associated with going to work and spending the majority of the day working. Creative people might feel as though they are stuck in a rut when they have are forced to work in that routine. Creative minds tend to become more inefficient after hours of working on end. Working for long hours leads to creative blocks.
These blocks are more than just frustrating; they are potentially career damaging. For many, the 9-to-5 day is just not their thing. The monotonous routine has the ability to stifle creativity in a way that leaves people unable to thrive in their professional lives. In a workplace that is becoming more systematic, the creative person is unequally burdened. Being marginalized by default, the 9-to-5 day is tough on

the creative mind in all the wrong ways. A simple solution that could accommodate creative workers would be a shorter workday. People that work in creative or professional jobs can productively work for about six hours a day, compared to the eight hours of productive work done by manual laborers. A shorter workday could keep individuals from being too creative to work at all.

Fort Worth woman removed from life support, family says Associated Press A brain-dead, pregnant Texas woman’s body was removed from life support Sunday, as the hospital keeping her on machines against her family’s wishes acceded to a judge’s ruling that it was misapplying state law. Marlise Munoz’s body soon will be buried by her husband and parents, after John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth announced it would not fight Judge R.H. Wallace Jr.’s Friday order to pronounce her dead and return her body to her family. The 23-weekold fetus she was carrying will not be born. The hospital’s decision Sunday brings an apparent end to a case that became a touchstone for national debates about the beginning and end of life, and whether a pregnant woman who is considered legally and medically dead should be

He said ‘Everyone is fighting for Fugate’ and I turned and looked around I saw everyone wearing my bracelet and I started crying,” Fugate said. “He walked the rest of the way
kept on life support for the sake of a fetus. Munoz’s husband, Erick Munoz, sued the hospital because it would not remove life support as he said his wife would have wanted in such a situation. Erick and Marlise Munoz worked as paramedics and were familiar with end-of-life issues, and Erick said his wife had told him she would not want to be kept alive under such circumstances. But the hospital refused his request, citing Texas law that says life-sustaining treatment cannot be withdrawn from a pregnant patient, regardless of her end-of-life wishes. Wallace sided Friday with Erick Munoz, saying in his order: “Mrs. Munoz is dead.” Wallace had given the hospital until 5 p.m. Monday to comply with his order, but officials there announced Sunday morning that it would forego any appeal.
Shortly afterward, Erick Munoz’s attorneys announced that she had been disconnected from life support about 11:30 a.m. “May Marlise Munoz finally rest in peace, and her family find the strength to complete what has been an unbearably long and arduous journey,” they said in a statement. Erick found his wife unconscious in their Haltom City, Texas, home Nov. 26, possibly due to a blood clot. Doctors soon determined that she was brain-dead, which meant that she was both medically and legally dead under Texas law, but kept her on machines to keep her organs functioning for the sake of the fetus. The case has been noted by Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry and the two leading candidates running to replace him, but none of them has called for any new laws yet or action as a result of the case.

Police identify mall shooter Associated Press The gunman who killed two people at a Maryland mall was a teenage skateboarding enthusiast who had no criminal record before he showed up at the shopping center armed with a shotgun, plenty of ammunition and a backpack filled with crude homemade explosives, authorities said Sunday. Darion Marcus Aguilar, 19, took a taxi to the Mall in Columbia in suburban Baltimore on Saturday morning and entered the building near Zumiez, a shop that sells skateboarding gear. He went downstairs to a food court directly below the store, then returned less than an hour later, dumped the backpack in a dressing room and started shooting, police said. Shoppers fled in a panic or
barricaded themselves behind closed doors. When police arrived, they found three people dead — two store employees and Aguilar, who had killed himself, authorities said. The shooting baffled investigators and acquaintances of Aguilar, a quiet, skinny teenager who graduated from high school less than a year ago and had no previous run-ins with law enforcement. Police spent Sunday trying to piece together his motive, but it remained elusive. Aguilar, who had concealed the shotgun in a bag, fired six to nine times. One victim, Brianna Benlolo, a 21-year-old single mother, lived half a mile away from Aguilar in the same College Park neighborhood, but police said they were still trying to determine what, if any, relationship they had.

Black History Month Events. Owens, who has been chair for the past three years, is looking forward the guest speaker and the Black Excellence Ball. “I’ve definitely seen an increase in the attendance,” Owens said about the Black Excellence Ball. The Black Excellence Ball, Mar. 1, ends the month’s activities. This year the event will include Black Alum association and has been moved into the Hughes Trigg Ballroom from it’s location in Meadows Museum Jones Hall. The black tie optional event will include a speaker, music and event. Along with month’s activities, members of Association of Black Students will be supporting men and women’s basketball by attending home games. “I think with our talk, and our progression, hopefully it will educate them about black history and make it not just Black History,” said Johnson. “It’s American History.”
campaign methods. The campaign is entirely studentdriven, with no directives coming from university administration, according to Malhi. “We, as students, are telling our peers not to do this,” Malhi said. “This is not coming from the administration, this is not coming
from our parents. This is coming from us.” Trespalacios explained that the sexual assaults plaguing the campus are not an isolated issue within factions of the student body. “We don’t put ourselves in the shoes of those involved,” Trespalacios said. “It’s not a problem
of one, it’s a problem of everyone.” Similarly, the Obama Administration took its own steps to addressing the nation-wide campus assault problem last Wednesday. The president signed a memorandum establishing the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault
following the presentation of a report by the Council on Women and Girls. The Task Force will be co-chaired by designees from the Office of the Vice President and the White House Council on Women and Girls. The Associated Press reported Valerie Jarrett, Obama senior advisor and chair of the Council on Women
and Girls, said in an interview last week that President Obama is dedicated to tackling the issue with full force. “The president is committed to solving this problem, not just as president of the United States, but as a father of two girls.”
with me. I was so tired.” “Fighting for Fugate” is the text that’s on the $5 pink and black rubber bracelets that the Bobby Lyle School of Engineering has been selling in order to support the cost of treatment. The bracelets also have Fugate’s favorite scripture, Joshua 1:9 on them. T-shirts are also being sold. Along with the bracelets and t-shirts, her high school friends had a spaghetti dinner in her honor after a basketball game where she used to play, a 5k run has been held and more recently SMU alums and
students held “Two-Stepping for Fuagte” at White Saloon in Dallas. Fugate also has a website where friends, family and even strangers have donated a total of $12,710. There is a goal of $50,000. Two hundred and seventy nine people came to the country-dancing event on Jan. 23 and $2,079 was raised between raffle tickets, bracelets and donations. “I couldn’t make it and it broke my heart,” Fugate said. “280 people showed and they all talked about how I introduced them to country dancing.”
The event, planned by several of Fugate’s friends featured one of her favorite activities. “Jennifer has a deep love for country dancing, and it is a love that she has spread to all of us,” SMU alum Brittany Eva said. “She is the one that taught us all how to dance our freshman year, then we would teach the next set of people, and they would teach the next, and so on.” First year electrical engineering student Arianna Santiago met Fugate when Fugate was giving her the tour that convinced her to
come to SMU. “Before she became ill, she had invited me to join her and her friends when they went out Two-Stepping Thursday nights,” Santiago said. “I never got the chance to go with her, so I jumped at the chance to support her by doing something she loved. Fugate, who was very active before the diagnosis, spends most of her days reading books in a home that sits on the beach because she doesn’t have the strength to do the activities she used to do such as dirt biking, riding motorcycles and
water sports. “I want to be surfing because I am on a beach, but I can’t,” Fugate said. She will undergo surgery to remove the tumor and fix her hip, as well as radiation and the chemotherapy. Fugate’s treatment will continue to September 2014 and she plans on looking for jobs after that. “I think I’ve decided defense industry,” Fugate said. “I’ll try Lockheed Martin. I want to move back to Dallas. We’ll see how it goes though.”

EDITORIAL BOARD
Justice just Joshed us matthew costa Contributing Writer mcosta@smu.edu Athletes aren’t gods among us. They are not superior beings who we should somehow strive to live vicariously through because of their physical fitness and notoriety. They make tremendously egregious mistakes in their lives just like you and I do. So why is it exactly that one can receive a hysterically smaller sentence for something as serious as intoxication manslaughter than you or I? Former Dallas Cowboy defensive lineman Josh Brent was found guilty on Wednesday for driving under the influence of alcohol and killing his former teammate and friend Jerry Brown in December of 2012 after Brent’s vehicle flipped over. On Friday, the judge sentenced Brent to 180 days in prison and 10 years on probation. Keep in mind Brent’s blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit, at .18. Keep in mind Brent almost fled the scene and allegedly had to be begged to return to the scene of his dying companion. Keep in mind this isn’t even Josh Brent’s first encounter with a drunken driving offense. What kind of justice has been done here? What will be learned from this? The outspoken organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) quickly responded in an article by ESPN saying, “This punishment sends the message that it’s OK to drink and drive -- but it’s absolutely not.” Normally the argument “Think of the children” is wasted
on me, as it’s usually screeched by suburban housewives with a little too much sherry and not quite enough Sudoku, but I’ll make an exception here. People today, specifically the ones under 21, need role models in all walks of life. Athletes are easy to follow and easy to appreciate because sports are so cut and dry. Either you win or you lose, there is no middle ground. Life isn’t so easy and that’s very clear in this case. A man kills another man after drinking and driving, something he’s done more than once in his life. That should be enough to warrant a lengthy sentence away from the public where his bad decisions can hurt no one and serve as a reminder to all who might do the same as him. Instead, Brown will be back on the streets in less than six months, completely free to rejoin the National Football League and, more than likely, the same team he was once part of, and the same one I’ve rooted for since I was a child. Keep in mind this is the same league that allowed convicted murderer Donte Stallworth back into its ranks with only a year suspension to follow his release from prison. Justice is not black and white, it isn’t fair to all, and I refuse to believe if I were to ever do the same things Mr. Brent did on that cold night in December 2012 that I would get off that easily. Then again, I would rather believe in a higher justice after we’ve all passed. One that not even the most cunning athletes and judges can avoid. Costa is a senior majoring in journalism.
firing line
Treading deep water This semester, I’m being pulled in many different directions. I am taking 18 hours, working as online editor for The Daily Campus and serving as secretary for the Phi Sigma Pi honor fraternity. Why am I doing so much? Partly, because I want to, and partly because of my resume. Today, employers are looking for well-rounded, dedicated people. While that is not a bad thing, becoming such a person can be difficult. Once my classwork starts to pile on, I probably won’t have time to breathe. That thought alone stresses me out. Why do we have to be so busy to look well-rounded?
RYAN MILLER/ The Daily Campus
The student section, otherwise know as “The Mob,” is filled with Mustang fans watching basketball in the newly renovated Moody Coliseum.
New Moody: the perfect storm arrives SMU is a basketball school — make no mistake about it. Never, at least not as long as we have been here at SMU, has any sport received the same amount of student support as the men’s basketball program. The lack of enthusiasm from the student body on sports at SMU has been well documented. There seemed to be no answer for the sports apathy on the Hilltop until the opening of the new Moody Coliseum in 2014. This change in fan culture didn’t happen over night, it began last year, when hall of fame coach Larry Brown decided to make his new home on the Hilltop. Browns impact was immediate and he managed to land SMU’s first McDonalds AllAmerican in program history with Keith Frazier. Shortly after Frazier’s arrival, more top recruits expressed interest in joining Brown’s squad. However, during the first year under Brown the Mustangs were handicapped by transfer eligibility regulations and were forced to play their best players for an uncommonly large number of minutes. The result was a lot of painful losses, in which the Mustangs lost huge leads to opponents late in the second half of games.
The Mustangs failed to meet the high expectations the SMU community placed upon it and the surge of support from the beginning of the season quickly died down. Shortly after the end of the 2012-13 season, renovations on the old Moody Coliseum began and the buzz around Brown’s team returned. Not only would SMU have another season with Brown at the helm, but his team would be playing in a brand new stadium. The renovations included: bigger corridors, new bathrooms, new food stands, improved floor seating, a club for pre game and post game parties, TVs in the hall so you don’t miss any of the action, luxury suites and alcohol. The addition of alcohol received the most attention prior to the opening of the new facility — both good and bad. Those arguing for the sale of alcohol said that it would boost student attendance, and The Daily Campus agreed with them in an editorial board written last fall. Based on what we have seen, those same people could say “I told you so,” and we could do the same. Fan attendance is a thousand times better than it has ever been and the fans at the games are rowdier than ever before. But to do so would
be to falsely attribute this boost in attendance to the alcohol purely because one came after the other. There is no doubt alcohol has played a small part in both the amount of fans and their rowdiness. However, it is not the driving force behind the increased support of the basketball program. A combination of all the events leading up to this basketball season has created the perfect storm for the emergence of basketball as the most popular sport on campus. The Daily Campus’ sports desk argued in an article last semester that adding alcohol to the list of purchasable beverages would not make as big of an impact on attendance as winning big games. If a program beats opponents, they aren’t supposed to and make waves in their respective leagues, their fan base will grow. The true turning point in SMU’s transformation came when the Mustangs hosted then No. 15 University of Connecticut on January 4th for the grand opening of Moody Coliseum. So, not only were people interested in seeing the new Moody, they also had the hopes of seeing a competitive game from their Mustangs against a nationally
ranked opponent. The noise level of the crowd inside Moody far surpassed anything seen at any SMU game before. And the Mustangs responded to the crowd support with a 74-65 upset. Since the UCONN game, the Mustangs have played in front of a full and loud Moody every time. However, the bigger and louder crowd is a little misleading. There are fewer seats available in Moody as a compromise for the expanded walk space and the addition of suites. This means it is much easier to fill up Moody with more screaming fans. And if those fans happen to have a few adult beverages, chances are they will be slightly louder than other fans. If SMU lost to UCONN in blowout fashion, fan support might have fizzled out once again and the Mustangs might have fell into a losing streak. Instead, the men are competing with the best teams in the nation and dominating the weaker ones. SMU provided Larry Brown’s squad with the opportunity to change the sports culture at SMU by placing all the pieces around them. However it was ultimately up to the team to make the most important change of all: win big games.

Men’s Basketball
Simpson, company dominate Houston Samuel Snow Associate Sports Editor ssnow@smu.edu
Coming off of three straight losses the SMU Women’s Basketball team were desperate for a win. Luckily, they drew up the University of Houston as the next game on their schedule. SMU rallied the troops with four players recording doubledigit point totals. As a result, the Lady Mustangs easily beat the Lady Cougars 73-60 at Hofheinz Pavilion. Akil Simpson was the star for SMU in this game, as the senior forward picked up her seventh double-double of the season amassing 15 points and 12 rebounds. Assisting their teammate were
senior guard Keena Mays and senior forward Mallory Singleton. Mays put together 17 points and seven boards, while Singleton corralled 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists. The Mustangs beat the Cougars through tenacious defense. While SMU shot 46 percent from the field, they held Houston to an anemic 29 percent. That low percentage helped SMU win the rebound battle 50-37. The Lady Mustangs also shot their three-pointers at an accurate rate. They shot six for 11 from behind the arc, while the Lady Cougars only mustered three makes on 14 attempts. SMU did some of their best work in the first half, as they were able to end it with a 15-point lead of 40-25. They shot 50 percent
in the first half while holding the Cougars to a mere 26 percent. Despite losing rather handily, the Lady Cougars were able to get two strong performances from members of the frontcourt. Te’onna Campbell, a senior forward, hoisted up 19 shots and ended up with 17 points and nine rebounds. Yasmeen Thompson, the Cougar’s senior center, only shot the ball four times, but ended up with 15 points on nine free throw makes. Thompson also grabbed 12 rebounds. After dropping Houston to 0-8 in conference play, the Mustangs return home for a match-up with the University of Cincinnati, another team struggling within the conference at 2-6. That game will take place Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Despite several number one finishes, the Mustangs were unable to capitalize and defeat Texas A&M on Friday.
Seniors set pace in loss to A&M Matthew Costa Contributing Sports Writer mcosta@smu.edu Despite strong efforts from senior freestyle swimmer Ramom Melo and senior Nicolai Hansen, the SMU men’s swimming and diving team lost to Texas A&M on Friday 143-100. Melo finished in first place in the 50-yard freestyle swim, getting a time of 20.35 seconds and was given praise after the event by his head coach, Eddie Sinnott. “Melo winning the 50-yard
freestyle event was huge; he swam really well,” Sinnott said to SMU athletics. “I feel great with where we are at after having such great improvement over the past two weeks. It was a very positive night.” The other senior winner of the night, Hansen, was able to complete the 200-yard breaststroke at 2:01.79, and added a runner-up time of 1:49.48 in the 200-yard individual medley. Junior diver Devin Burnett also took first place in an event with a victory in the 1-meter dive,
coupled with his second place finish in the 3-meter dive. SMU will need to keep these types of performances going as they hope to take yet another conference championship for their swimming and diving team when the very first American Athletic Conference Championship begins in Louisville, Ky. on Feb. 19. “We swam with 98 percent personal-best times tonight,” said Sinnott. “That is what we need to do as the conference meet is less than a month away.”

SMU overcame a rough first half to defeat Houston 75-68 on the road Sunday afternoon for their fifth straight win. With Nic Moore’s career high 28 points, SMU took off in the second half, outscoring Houston 50-37. 22 of Moore’s 28 points came in the second half, carrying SMU on his back. Markus Kennedy also had a double-double with 15 points and
10 rebounds and Nick Russell added 10 points to lead SMU. What was most impressive, was SMU shaking some of their freethrow line woes, going 27 of 32 from the charity stripe. Although SMU allowed 22 points inside the paint and Houston’s bench was hot, scoring 39 points, SMU was able to take advantage of Houston’s turnovers, scoring 16 points off turnovers. SMU did lose freshman Keith Frazier in the first half to an apparent ankle injury when he
drove in the lane and came down awkwardly on it. Frazier has had ongoing issues with his ankle this season, but there was no word on if he will miss an extended amount of time. SMU shot a miserable 20 percent from beyond the arc, but made up for it with their points in the paint off of second chance opportunities. Houston on the other hand shot 44 percent from three-point range, keeping the game close in the second half until late, when SMU pulled away for good.

MONDAY n JANUARY 27, 2014 Awards
RE view
Sundance sets beautifully as other awards debut storytelling successes Jordan Moore A&E Editor mooreja@smu.edu The Sundance Film Festival ended on Sunday after another successful event. At Sundance, independent films are screened, voted on and awarded. There are award categories for a colorful array of talents in the industry ranging from screenwriting to directing and even cinematography. The festival is hosted by the Sundance Institute. The Institute is an organization that has been around for over 30 years and is dedicated to independent films and the stories they share. Robert Redford, the Institute’s President and Founder, perfectly summarizes the Institute’s focus: “Storytellers broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire and ultimately, connect us.” These words hang as a centerpiece on the Sundance website (sundance.org). Because there were over 200 films in the festival this year, it makes it difficult to name even simply the award recipients. However, the point of the festival is rather unique. Pay close attention to what Redford emphasizes: “Storytellers”; storytellers can be anyone from anywhere, which opens this group up to practically anyone willing to share something. Although Sundance may be over for this year, it is award season, nonetheless. Stories will continue to be told and heard, and those that have caught the attention of affinitive ears will be awarded. This year, actor Joseph GordonLevitt [Don Jon, 50/50, 500 Days of Summer] released his T.V. show creation at Sundance: “hitRECord”. HitRECord functions as an openended platform for creative minds to collaborate and contribute to story-telling industries. Filmmakers, musicians and really, “artists of any kind” as Gordon-Levitt suggests, can share their work with one another. Through hitRECord, “we

form a community around the art that we make together,” says Gordon-Levitt [visit hitrecord. org for the full introduction by Gordon-Levitt]. Tonight, the Grammys will announce the winners of another type of storytelling: music. Although the Grammys have been around for a little longer than Sundance (this will be the 56th annual show), both share the lasting common desire to present and continue storytelling. The Grammy awards will air tonight at 7 p.m. CST on CBS. Similar to Sundance, the Grammys will award those artists who have struck a chord with their art form of music this year. The
Recording Academy serves as the host and awarder, as it has lent its well-attuned ears to both rising and veteran artists throughout the year. As winter warms into spring, the award season will continue. The Oscars are still to come this March. For SMU, events hosted by Meadows are expected this spring, showcasing the Hilltop’s own creative students. In addition to the essays, presentations and other work SMU students complete in the hopes of A-level rewards, events on and off campus are telling of the stories we all have to share.
When the Weston family is forced to return to its rural Oklahoma home, mystery morphs into tragedy and the Westons are forced to deal with their rehashed past and a pressing present-day at once. The film defined as “the year’s most wicked comedy” is justly labeled. With the patriarch missing, the matriarchs rise, as do their emotions. Meryl Streep plays Violet Weston, the pill-popping mother, and Julia Roberts plays her eldest daughter, Barbara. Streep and Roberts perfectly portray the polarity of emotions present in nearly every facet of the film: between mother and daughter, mind and medicine and simply within life itself. Osage County seems to be a breeding ground of toxicity. The stagnant and suffocating air that swarms around and inside
the Weston home seems to have pervaded those unfortunate souls who were raised there. It is possible however that they are the ones who are breeding it. The Weston family is eerily similar to one of theatre’s most well known families: that of Shakespeare’s King Lear. What is often recognized as one of Shakespeare’s darkest plays is inarguably a tragedy. Both Lear and August are framed around the fraying and eventual tearing of a family. Hushed whispers of long-kept family secrets become irrevocably open confessions, unsettling the dust and revealing a surprising lineage of family history. Incest becomes yet another dark secret, that was once kept within blood, is then spilled out for all to see. Even Violet, despite her own blood surging with a swirl of a self-made medical cocktail, is able to see what she is never meant to. “‘I told you,” she says, “‘nobody slips anything by me.’” Violet’s less-than-observant
relatives show a greater blindness to the dark shadows that are creeping in every corner of the Weston house. Other Weston family members are portrayed by lessthan-shadowed actors including Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor and Benedict Cumberbatch. Although they may not be the focal characters of the film, the men are integral in understanding the women of whom they are in some way connected to. Again, these are performances worthy of the limelight they receive. The lighting and setting of the film itself is also exposing of the story’s hidden yet creeping themes. Shaded windows, a setting sun, nightfall and the bare horizon save the Weston residence are all-telling of the Weston family and the film. Forbidden affairs, unexpected consequences and death are only a few of the burdens of life in which Tracy Letts’s August touches upon. Perhaps the opening line of the film, one from T.S. Eliot’s “The Hollow Man,” answers all questions best: “Life is very long.”
