Many events are planned throughout Black History Month at SMU.
Students help organize Black History Month Jehadu Abshiro News Writer jabshiro@smu.edu When Faith Miller came to SMU, she didn’t really have any friends on campus. So she joined the Association of Black Students. Three years later and now a senior, Miller is the vice president of Association of Black Students. Her involvements in ABS not only helped her make friends on campus, but also grow as a leader. “Being involved is important not only in the black community, but also in the SMU community,” Miller said. “Hopefully I am impacting, someone’s life, someone with a similar SMU experience. Especially first-years.” For both Miller and ABS, Black History Month is chance where all students can get involved and educated at the various activities that take place on campus from Saturday through March 1. “All of SMU is invited,”

The current Chi Omega house will eventually be converted into the Multicultural Greek Council house after the new Chi Omega house is built.
MGC finds new home Meredith Carey Contributing Writer mbcarey@smu.edu The Multicultural Greek Council will finally have a permanent home on Daniel Avenue. What is now the RLSH Greek and Apartment Maintenance building is being remodeled and will open as meeting and residential space for the five chapters that make up the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC). “MGC has been on campus for 14 years, but we have never had a
space of our own,” said Amy Chen ,MGC president and member of Sigma Phi Omega. “We hope that having a house on campus will help our members become more united and give us a common space to hang out.” MGC, which includes three sororities, Kappa Delta Chi, Sigma Lambda Gamma and Sigma Phi Omega, and two fraternities, Omega Delta Phi and Sigma Lamba Beta, was first chartered to promote cultural awareness and unify the multicultural Greek community, Chen said.
The new Multicultural Greek Council house will house 13 members of the five different organizations who will be chosen through a housing lottery. “As anyone in a Greek organization knows, it is sometimes difficult to go beyond your own organization and make meaningful connections with other chapters. The MGC house will give the five chapters a chance to get to know each other’s members better,” Chen said. The location of the house, at 3160 Daniel Avenue, also provides
the opportunity for the eight Panhellenic Council chapters located further down Daniel Avenue to get to know the MGC chapters. “It is important to know that Greek Life at SMU includes four councils: MGC, NPHC, IFC, and Panhellenic. All of them bring significant benefits to the SMU campus. Those who are involved in MGC value service, leadership, education and strong relationships. These organizations

As a nod to the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Bridwell Library opened an exhibit displaying certain presidential documents on Dec. 20. The exhibit features documents of 10 United States presidents written when they were in office, before they were elected or after their term of service. Every document is either a letter or a White House invitation sent to an American Methodist. Upon entering the notably quiet Bridwell Library, the Presidential documents are the first displays to be seen, protected in glass casing. While the presidential documents may be hard to read, visitors can pick up a pamphlet that provides information on the display. This pamphlet features an enlarged

Miller said. “We want an array of people participating.” This year’s Black History Month features ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, a history of song, a game, discussions and a ball. Students Devean Owens and D’Marquis Allen are the co-chairs of this month’s events. Owens, an advertising and public relations & strategic communications major, began chairing the event three years ago when Steven Johnson, Coordinator in OMSA, challenged her to revamp Black History Month and “make it 10 times better.” So she started small. They brought in poet, author and activist Nikki Giovanni as their opening speaker, set up the Black Inventors and Inventions Museum in the Hughes-Trigg Commons and held the Inaugural Black Excellence Ball. “We did it,” Owens said. “We knew the next year we could do it bigger and better.” The next year, Hill Harper, CSI: New York actor and author, was ABS’ Black History Month

Bridwell Special Collections Archivist Tim Binkley described the exhibit as, “Bridwell’s way of inviting the community to study the presidential documents.” Previously, Bridwell has held two other exhibits featuring presidential documents. The first displayed presidential autographs and the second showed campaign materials. The current exhibit documenting the communication between presidents and Methodist figures hasn’t been seen much in 50 years and the documents truly shed light upon the friendships formed between them, Binkley said. This idea is exemplified by the correspondence between the 24th President Grover Cleveland

Houston trafficking ring discovered Associated PRess Two Houston employment agencies that allegedly recruited immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to be cheap labor for restaurants in at least seven states were shut down Thursday after a series of arrests, federal authorities said. The Hong Li and the Tai Shan employment agencies were competitors that both provided workers, mostly from Mexico and Central America, to Chinese restaurants in Texas, Louisiana, Maine and other states, said Brian M. Moskowitz, special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. “The agencies recruited and solicited the workers and sought the business of these restaurants to feed their demand for cheap labor,” Moskowitz said. According to the indictments, the two agencies used Chinese language newspapers and Internet
sites to solicit the restaurants and “offer Hispanic unauthorized alien workers, commonly referred to in this context as ‘amigos,’ to them.” Officials estimate that in the 10 years the agencies operated, they supplied restaurants with hundreds of workers. “The entire business model rested on the shoulders of illegal workers,” Moskowitz said. The agencies are also accused of housing the immigrants in often cramped homes and apartments and transporting them to restaurants in various states as part of services to their clients. “There is no doubt (the workers) were complicit, knew what was going on. But they were also exploited. They paid them below minimum wage, worked them 12 hours a day, six days a week, did not allow them to take gratuities and sometimes housed them in substandard facilities,” Moskowitz said.

Where to enjoy Super Bowl Sunday
What to prepare for Sunday’s watch party
Genevieve Edgell Food Editor gedgell@smu.edu While the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks battle out for the 48th Super Bowl title win, students will be congregating at Dallas restaurants and bars to enjoy the game? For devoted fans or interested ad watchers, the Super Bowl is one of the largest viewed television events of the year. This can be all the more enjoyable at the right venue with the right kind of foods. Dallas offers hundreds of watch party locations, but 11 are worth a special mention. Five venues even offer unconventional watch-party options students may want to check out for themselves. To start the list off, Humperdink’s Restaurant and Brewery is one of the most wellknown watch party locations for any sporting event. Notably, ESPN voted Humperdink’s one of the best places to watch the Super Bowl. The restaurant and pub located on Greenville Avenue, has more than 20 flat screen televisions. The Nodding Donkey, World of Beer and Twisted Root Burger Co. are all offering food and drink specials without cover charges and are walking distance from campus. With a 20 percent chance of rain Sunday, venues like Twisted Root Burger Co., with half of its seating outdoors, may become unpopular game day locations. For students looking for a sophisticated place to watch the game, Primebar is offering brunch specials with a live DJ. The food is delicious and visually appealing while the atmosphere is rustically modern. Fairly new, The Rustic is hosting its first Super Bowl party with live music leading up to the game. The restaurant and bar also features an indoor 125-inch
Genevieve Edgell Food Editor gedgell@smu.edu For students who are planning on staying in to watch the Super Bowl Sunday, there are many mouth-watering gameday foods that are easy to make on a budget or in a pinch. One of the most popular appetizers known to all at-home game-day chefs is the mini crescent dogs. These delicious bite-sized snacks are always the first to go and are truly the easiest dish on the menu. Bloomin’ onion bread, bacon-wrapped jalapeno
poppers, buffalo potato wedges, flank steak crescent bites, chili cheese biscuits and barbeque pulled pork mac and cheese are also arguably Super Bowl must haves. Some of these foods may sound complicated to an inexperienced chef, but these are undeniably easy dishes and even cheaper than one would expect. The buffalo potato wedges only have three ingredients and flank steak is one of the cheapest cuts of meat to buy.

flat screen and an outdoor 220inch flat screen. If students are interested in attending less conventional venues, places like the Granada Theater and Studio Movie Grill
are offering a truly big screen Super Bowl experience. The Granada Theater has no cover charge but seats are limited to adults 21 and over while the Studio Movie Grill off Northwest Highway will have
free food and raffles for prizes. Dave & Buster’s is also offering game day specials with multiple flat screens where fans can play and watch at the same time. Likewise, Bowl & Barrel at The Shops at Park Lane is offering group rates to bowl while enjoying the game. For $100, eight people can bowl and watch the game for seven hours. Twin Peaks is hosting a Fantasy Bowl Lingerie Party in Mockingbird Station. Pop Diner in Uptown, although a small venue has two large flat screens and serves awesome breakfast dishes like giant chocolate chip and banana waffles 24/7. There’s also what they call Coney Island favorites and vintage arcade games customers can play for free. Pop Diner serves unique alcoholic beverages including a blow pop martini, a bloody bacon and a pop rock martini. For students set on sticking around campus Sunday, stop by The Varsity in HughesTrigg Student Center where Omega Psi Phi will be gathering to enjoy the game at 5 p.m.

BACON WRAPPED JALAPEÑOS: These bacon wrapped poppers are favorite. The cream cheese mellows the jalapeno’s heat but if students are worried about these being too hot for their taste buds, take extra care when cleaning out the seeds which are the main spicy culprits.

keynote speaker. This year they hope to have an even bigger impact and larger audience, especially with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. “I plan on attending as many events as possible, but I most look forward to their kick off of Black History Month program because of the unity that I see among everyone,” said sophomore Tien Dang, a creative advertising major and a member of the Residential Commons Leadership Corps, who attended the Unity Walk Jan 23. Owens’s one dream has always been to bring Soledad O’Brien or Melissa Harris Perry to SMU’s Black History Months, though both are out of their price range at the moment. “I hope that one day this happens and I will definitely be front and center,” Owens said. Miller, a communications and public relations major, helps make sure that there is a Black History Month and people on campus understand the cultures. “I believe Black History Month is vital at SMU,” Owens said. “It gives us a chance to educate the greater SMU community on our culture and heritage.” Owens, passionate about ABS, Black History Month, OMSA and diversity, has served as Public Relations Chair, President and Black History Month Chair in ABS. “Black History Month will be the one thing I miss most when I graduate,” Owens said. “To start something from inception and see it through is an amazing feeling.” ABS has four subgroups: African Student Association for students originally from Africa, Sisters Supporting Sisters, gospel group Voices of Inspiration and Black Men Emerging. Tyrone Davis is the president of ABS. ABS is underneath the Mulitcultural student organization umbrella, directed by Creston Lynch.
He is responsible for the development of diversity support and inclusion. Miller believes this month is not only meant to uplift each other but also to educate people. “This is an opportunity to see how far black people have come but also an opportunity to see how far we have to go,” Miller said. “It’s great to see the resilience and progress of a group of people that for so long was told that they would never amount to anything,” Dang said. The third annual Black Excellence Ball will be in the Hughes Trigg ballroom March 1. Both Owen and Miller are looking forward to the Black Excellence Ball. “I think the best part of the Black Excellence Ball is the fellowship we have with one another in a more formal setting. It gives us an opportunity to get dressed up, celebrate our culture and have a great time,” Owens said. “I love to sit back and watch everyone interact with on another. It feels great to be able to provide that atmosphere for my community.” Food, fun and fellowship is what Miller is looking forward to. The group decided on blacktie optional this year because they partnered with the Black Alumni of SMU. “ They may want to break out a tuxedo or long evening gown for the event,” Owens said. “It gives everyone an option on each spectrum.” Last year, Jerry LeVias, former SMU and NFL wide receiver, was the keynote speaker at the ball where he spoke about the struggles black students faced at SMU when he went to SMU in the 1960s. “The things that black students went through then is nothing compared to what we go through now,” Owens said. “However, knowing these things should empower us to continue the fight for diversity and inclusion as well as take advantage of all the opportunities presented to us.”

and Fanny Crosby. Crosby was a prolific hymn writer who, despite her blindness, wrote 8,000 hymns. These documents are Binkley’s favorite. “[The] informality of the letters and kind words signify a deep friendship,” Binkley said. The documents featured in the exhibit range from 1854 to 1957. Included are letters from Former Presidents Millard Fillmore, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and, last but not least, Lyndon B. Johnson. After surviving 160 years, these documents make a great compliment to the presidential legacy at SMU. The presidential documents will be on display in Bridwell Library until May 9. For more information, and to flip through a digital exhibit pamphlet, visit Bridwell Library’s website.
Associated PRess A Navy admiral is President Barack Obama’s choice to be the next head of the National Security Agency, which is embroiled in controversy over its secret surveillance programs and massive collection of phone and Internet data. Vice Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the Navy’s Cyber Command and a former intelligence director for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is being appointed to lead the NSA, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Thursday. Rogers also is being nominated to get a fourth star and head U.S. Cyber Command. Rogers, who replaces Army Gen. Keith Alexander at the NSA, comes into the job facing the challenge of revamping the way the agency collects and stores its data. Alexander plans to retire in mid-March. The NSA has been rocked by former analyst Edward Snowden’s disclosures detailing widespread

surveillance programs that have swept up the phone records of hundreds of millions in the U.S. Rogers has long been considered the heir apparent for the job. In a statement Thursday, Hagel said he is confident that Rogers “has the wisdom to help balance the demands of security, privacy and liberty in our digital age.” “This is a critical time for the NSA, and Vice Admiral Rogers would bring extraordinary and unique qualifications to this position as the agency continues its vital mission and implements President Obama’s reforms,” Hagel said. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper described Rogers in a statement as a dedicated intelligence officer “who deeply understands signals intelligence and cyber operations, which makes him uniquely qualified to lead the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command missions.” Rogers’ nomination to head Cyber Command requires Senate

bring opportunities to the student body to learn about this values,” Student Body President Ramon Trespalacios said. “They also add another dimension to the SMU experience, that of cultural awareness. MGC groups often put on events with the purpose of providing attendees information about their history, background, and experiences. These type of opportunities are invaluable to SMU students,” Trespalacios said. The house will also serve practical purposes. “It will give us more visibility on campus, and serve as a place where we can meet up with prospective new members. We will have a location to host mixers, give

The NSA job does not, but it will undoubtedly come up at the Cyber Command hearing, as lawmakers air their frustrations with the agency’s data collection program and demand that he lay out his vision for how the NSA will move forward. The White House has said it intends to continue having one commander oversee the NSA and Cyber Command, despite suggestions that the jobs should be split due to concerns that the lines have blurred between the two powerful posts. Both jobs are based at Fort Meade, Md. Hagel also announced that he is appointing Rick Ledgett to be the NSA’s deputy director, replacing Chris Inglis as the top civilian at the agency. Ledgett, an NSA official, has been leading the task force assessing the damage from Snowden’s leaks. Alexander has served for nearly nine years as NSA director. He was the first commander of the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, which was set up in 2010.

In the past years, members have had to use their off-campus residences as storage for recruitment and service materials. “We had to lug our Homecoming Peruna around Dallas because we had no where to keep it on campus. Now we can keep stuff conveniently on campus in a safe location,” Chen said. The completely refurbished house, which previously served as a general multicultural house before being converted into a staff office, will open at the same time as the residence halls in the fall. The Multicultural Greek Council ‘s five chapters are currently recruiting new members through Feb. 12. The MGC Showcase for all potential new members will be Friday at 8 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Theater.

OPINION
FRIDAY n JANUARY 31, 2014 smu sound off
What are your thoughts on SMU’s new policy allowing alcohol on campus?
“
It’s moving the university forward in a sense, but at the same time I do question how they’re going to regulate it and it is something I can foresee in the future getting out of hand...Alcohol in a sense can bring more people to campus who as soon as classes are over would leave so this gives them an incentive to stay and it gives opportunity for people of different majors to kind of mingle. —Andrew Asare, SMU senior
”
“
I don’t think it would actually reduce underage drinking at all. Everyone is going to find a way to drink for their pleasure...Frat houses might just start having more parties off campus. —Sara Akrami, SMU sophomore
entertainment
”
“
I don’t think it’s going to stop underage drinking. I don’t think it’s going to hurt it either. To me, it sounds like what they’re already doing when they throw it at other places, it’s just going to be on campus. It’s one of those things that you really have to see it in action before you can decide if it’s a bad thing or not. —Kayla Hudgins, SMU sophomore
”
“
It’s good that people don’t have to go off campus for parties. It’s probably more safe that way and you can probably catch people who are drunk more easily if there’s police officers at the party. If people are old enough to drink then why not have drinks on college campuses? I think it possibly could cut on underage drinking but I don’t know if the approval process is going to be thwart-proof. —Ryan Blitzer, SMU first-year

A still from recording artist Beyonce’s music video “Drunk in Love.”
OH BEYSUS, Beyonce offends listeners again leah johnson Assignments Desk Editor leahj@smu.edu This week, Bang Radio, a UK radio station, banned the lyrics of the one they call “Beysus.” In Beyonce’s hit song, “Drunk in Love,” Hovah, aka Jay Z, refers to a scene of domestic abuse from the movie “What’s Love Got to Do with It” which is a film about Tina Turner and her tumultuous relationship with Ike Turner. In the verse, Jay Z raps, “Now eat the cake, Anna Mae / I said eat the cake, Anna Mae.” In this movie scene, Ike Turner forces Tina Turner to eat. Well, Bang Radio wasn’t having it. They are cutting just that line of the verse. “We believe in the unity of women and music and in no way condone violence, domestic or otherwise, especially not through the power of music…therefore, the decision has been made to wipe the stated lyrics from the song. We believe that ALL people, regardless of age, gender, sexuality or race should have the right to an enjoyable listen to our station without the promotion of such morals,” Bang Media CEO Jennifer Ogole said in a released statement. I admit, I am not offended by the lyrics and I do own Beyonce’s self-titled fifth album, but I do see harm in words.
Artists forget the incredible power they possess as gatekeepers of influence. And whether it is misuse or ignorance of that power, their wordplay has repercussions. I want to make it clear that I am not singling out Beyonce, Jay Z or any artist for that matter, but as a whole, the music industry is doing a poor job of picking and choosing their words. I don’t think Beyonce or other artists should censor themselves, but I do think that delivery is important. In a Spanish literature class I took, my professor used to say it’s up to us to “question everything” and “never take anything for granted” or for face value. My professor’s love of words and his echoing advice, remind me to keep my audience in mind. And as a journalist, I doubly take on the responsibility to write with intention, clarity and conscientiousness. Basically, I watch what I say and how I say it. In Beyonce’s case, perhaps it was her delivery that was at fault instead of her actual words. After all, none of us really know what she means. And one last thing Beysus, if you (and your husband) nickname yourselves after our Lord and Savior, maybe your lyrics should reflect His holiness.

Museums wager works of art on Super Bowl Omar Majzoub Contributing Writer omajzoub@smu.edu There is a lot on the line Sunday when the Denver Broncos take on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII in New Jersey. Although the Vince Lombardi Trophy is the most prized possession of the game, two art museums in the competing cities have decided to make a bet of their own. In a unique blend of sports and fine arts, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) and the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) are betting temporary loans of major artworks based on the outcome of the game. The winning city will receive a three-month loan of the work of art, where they are free to display it in anyway, but dates of the loan are still being finalized. The DAM has wagered a statue known as “The Bronco Buster” by Frederic Remington. It is a bronzed icon of a man riding a Bronco and located in the western American art collection in Denver.

Christoph Heinrich, one of the DAM directors, believes the work of art is a perfect representation of their tough, smart football team. “We know the Broncos won’t be busted on Super Bowl Sunday,” Heinrich said. “I am looking forward to giving the losing team’s
mascot a special place of honor in Bronco Nation.” Meanwhile, the SAM is wagering a treasure from their Asian Art collection. It is called “Sound of Waves” by Tsuji Kako and features a powerful eagle with outstretched wings. SAM director
Commentary
Seattle’s stingy defense will stymie Denver’s offense Samuel Snow Associate Sports Editor ssnow@smu.edu It’s not often that sports fans see a match-up like this one, two No. 1 seeds going at it in the Super Bowl. And if that wasn’t enough, the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks are the possessors of the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense respectively. It’s been 24 years — that’s right, 24 years — since two teams that possessed the No. 1 offense and defense made it to the Super Bowl: the New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills in 1990. In that clash, the Giants, and defense, ended up going to Disney World. In fact, in five out of six times that the league’s top units have matched up, the defense has prevailed. Readers are probably getting a pretty good idea of where this is headed, and they’d be right. If this were in a warmer environment, Peyton Manning’s lethal offense would probably

lead, but it’s not. This is going to be a cold environment. As in a low of 26 degrees cold. Typically in colder matchup, teams are looking to protect the ball. Protecting the ball means running the ball, and Seattle has the far superior running back in Marshawn Lynch. In addition, while Manning has the far superior passing stats, Russell Wilson isn’t someone people can discount. His mobility could very well win the game. By mobility, I don’t mean running the ball, although that could be the case. I mean his ability to extend plays by running around. Denver has developed a pass rush this postseason — it’s not as good as Seattle’s, but it’s been enough to help Denver reach the Super Bowl. With that, Wilson will have to be able to improvise, something he has been fantastic at this season. Finally, the special teams will have a significant impact on this game, specifically the punting

game. The Seahawks were second in the league in average punt return with 3.9, and the Broncos aren’t a team that threatens to run it back. They ranked 22nd in the league in return average with 7.8 yards. Seattle will have every punt they send to Denver covered, thus leaving Denver at the spot to which Seattle punts. In addition, Denver ranked 22nd in opponent punt return average, while Seattle ranked 9th in punt return average. That’s where a play will happen. It will be late in a close game, and Seattle will either be looking for a play to end it or a return to take the lead. The punt returner will take off, and will put the game away. It will be a close game. It will be a great game. The offense of the Broncos will battle the defense of the Seahawks. In the end, though, Seattle will manage to put more points on the boards than Denver. My prediction: Seattle will triumph over Denver, 31-27.

said. “But we are still confident that The Bronco Buster will be heading to Seattle.” All shipping and expenses will be paid by the city that loses the big game. Although the football game will get most of the headlines, the museums are hoping the bet is
another reason for the two cities to rally behind their teams. “We are looking forward to this cultural exchange and giving the stunning screen a place of honor in our Asian art galleries,” Heinrich said. “The DAM is thrilled to support the community and get behind the Bronco Nation.” However, Rorschach and other Seahawks fans, which have become known as the “12th Man”, are confident in their football teams chances to win. “We are already making plans to host it here in Seattle so that the 12th Man can see it,” said Rorschach. “It is a very exciting time for fans of sports and fine arts in both cities.” The Seahawks, 15-3, are representing the NFC after beating the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs. The Broncos, also 15-3, will represent the AFC after handling the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots. Kickoff for the big game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

Outside the SMU Bubble Things to do off campus this Super Bowl Sunday Jehadu Abshiro News Writer jabshiro@mail.smu.edu Whether people watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, halftime show, the atmosphere or actually want to watch the game, no one can argue that this is the most exciting weekend for football. The real question is where to watch the game. There is always the option of going to a friends house like senior Chris Mars is doing. Or head on over to HughesTrigg Student Center for a Super Bowl watching party hosted by Omega Psi Phi. “DJ, food, games, come on over,” junior Justin Morales said. If neither of those work, the SMU Wesley Foundation is having a Super Bowl party at member’s house if people want to hang out or bring food like junior Angela Uno. But college is about being
adventurous, so step off of the Hilltop and try one of these five options: Don’t have a team picked out? Aw Shucks & Big Shucks Oyster Bar is having specials for both Seattle Seahawks and Denver Bronco fans. Chow down on snow crab and shrimp for a New England dish. Not feeling seafood? Bronco chicken wings is also on the menu. Big Shucks is located at 6232 E. Mockingbird Ln. and is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Not a people person but staying home isn’t an option? The higher-end choice Eddie V’s offers private dining spaces that come with their own TVs. Game? Check. Food? Check. No people invading precious space? Check. Eddie V’s is located at 4023 Oak Lawn Ave., Suite 110. Want to stick to pizza and brisket? The music venue the Granada Theater becomes a giant watch party with $1 pizza
and brisket. Not over 21-yearsold and/ or prefer a healthier option? Sundown, at Granada next door, is all ages and offers healthy food. For those that haven’t been to the Granada Theater yet, the address is 3524 Greenville Ave. Biggest Little Super Sunday Party. The name alone is a good reason to head over to the new Three Sheets in Uptown. It’s new and watching the Seahawks and Broncos battle it out in the freezing cold will be interesting. Three Sheets can be found at 3113 Ross Ave. Sixty-inch TVs not big enough? Watch the game on a movie theater screen where the infamous Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested at the Texas Theatre. Instead of bar stools and leather booths, try red velveteen covered couches while you watch Bruno Mars’ halftime show. The Texas Theatre is located at 213 W. Jefferson Blvd.
The Granada Theater of Dallas will transform into a Super Bowl cinema.
