Students and fans rushed the court at Moody Coliseum after the Mustangs beat the Cincinnati Bearcats, their first on-campus win over a top 10 opponent since 1967. The men’s basketball team has yet to be defeated at home this season.
SMU remains undefeated at home
Students, fans rush court after Mustangs trample No. 7 Cincinnati 76-55 Billy Embody Sports Writer wembody@smu.edu Moody Madness or Moody Magic. Either way, SMU has made Moody Coliseum one of the toughest places in college basketball to play and with SMU’s third win over a Top 25 team this season at home, the men’s basketball team is thinking about a NCAA tournament bid. The Mustangs didn’t just beat the No. 7 ranked Cincinnati Bearcats Saturday, the team dominated them 76-55 in front of the fifth sellout crowd of the season at Moody.
“If we didn’t have a good team, all we’d have is a beautiful building,” SMU Head Coach Larry Brown said. “I didn’t imagine it would be like this quickly. But I was hopeful that we could get it that people wanted to see our team play and appreciate the fact that we’re playing hard and playing the right way.” When the Bearcats pulled within seven midway through the second half, two Nick Russell steals and a Nic Moore 3-pointer highlighted an 11-0 run that put the game out of reach for Cincinnati. Russell finished with 15 points, three rebounds and three steals in
a great team victory, but it was his two key steals that preserved the win when it was gutcheck time for SMU. “When Nick got a steal and they didn’t even try to run back with him, I figured it was over,” Cannen Cunningham said. In one of the best team wins of the year, it was Cunningham stepping up with forward Markus Kennedy in foul trouble that was one of the reasons SMU went into halftime with a 38-24 advantage. Cunningham had all 11 of his points in the first half and also added three rebounds and two steals on the game. Moore had 14 points
and first-year Ben Moore continued his impressive play, added 15 points, five rebounds and two blocks off the bench as well. Russell’s big game was also highlighted by his impressive defense. Russell forced star Bearcats guard Sean Kilpatrick to shoot just five of 18 from the floor and even though he still scored 22 points, Kilpatrick and the rest of the Bearcats took contested shots all night, shooting just 35 percent as a team from the field. Cincinnati’s press defense did cause some trouble for SMU though, forcing 16 turnovers by the Mustangs, but SMU forced 19 turnovers by
Cincinnati as well, taking advantage by scoring 24 points off of turnovers. Moody Madness is in full force and Coach Brown and the players credited the crowd for doing their part in the win, but Brown said he knows the program needs to continue to improve to where the team and fans expect to win games like this. “I’m so happy that we had that opportunity (to storm the court),” Brown said. “If we ever get the program the way we like, we’ll get used to winning games like this.” “It was crazy,” Cunningham said. “Everybody’s my best friend now.” SMU is now 13-0 at home on
the year and 6-0 in Moody, and this win might just propel SMU into the Top 25, something not many people expected out of a team that won just 15 games a year ago. “At the beginning of the year, we knew that we believed in each other, but not a lot of people did,” Russell said. “I’m sure nobody expected us to be here. We knew what we had: We’ve got a great coach, a great coaching staff — the sky’s the limit.” The 19-5 Mustangs have a few days off before heading to Rutgers Thursday for their second matchup of the year. SMU beat Rutgers 70-56 at Moody Jan. 21.
Research
SMU seismologists investigate cause of North Texas earthquakes Jehadu Abshiro News Writer jabshiro@smu.edu The Reno-Azle area, west of Fort Worth, has been experiencing more than 30 earthquakes since November, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The largest earthquake was 3.7 on the Richter scale. The majority of the earthquakes are at a low magnitude. “The real question is how big can these earthquakes get,” said Christopher Hayward, director of geophysics research at SMU. A group of 12 SMU scientists and students, a well as a Lake Highlands High School intern, are currently studying the RenoAzle area. Associate geophysics professor Heather DeShon is leading the study and Hayward is leading the installation process. The group has installed 12 instruments so far. Questions whether the earthquakes are occurring because

of fracking by oil and gas companies lead a group of Azle, Texas residents to travel to the state capitol Jan. 23. “It is important we do not rush to conclusions,” DeShon said at a press conference Friday. “I understand people want results quickly. But we have to sit and wait a little while.”
Fracking is the injection of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into bedrock to increase the flow of oil or gas. Of the about 35,000 shale gas wells in the U.S., only two cases show fracking-induced seismicity. According to Hayward, the
wastewater injection wells are more of a concern. Wastewater injection wells, about 30,000 in the U.S., dispose of waste fluids from producing oil and gas wells by injection wells drilled below fresh water aquifers. According to Induced Seismicity Potential in Energy Technologies, there were eight case studies linking earthquakes to these wastewater wells in the U.S. in 2011. Wastewater disposal is a separate process from the fracking operation and may occur away from the fracked well. In December 2013, four digital monitors provided by the USGS were deployed to monitor the seismicity in the area. The research team is deploying several single channel sensors provided by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Program. Rotating teams of two install the instruments in a variety of places from schools to private homes in the area that are near power and internet connections.
“They [residents] are allowing us to install; they’ve been very nice, very cooperating,” Hayward said. “We are very appreciative of them.” The instruments are highly sensitive, picking up even the energy from footsteps. They are placed within the epicenter of the events and within 25 kilometers of the events. Scientists will then cross analyze the data to improve our understanding of the earthquake locations, size, fault plane solutions, accelerations associated with the events. Once the instruments have all been deployed the team will no longer travel to the area. The seismic activity in the Reno-Azle area is similar to activity that occurred around Cleburne, Texas and the Dallas/Fort-Worth International Airport between 2008 and 2011. At DFW, the injection well began operating before the earthquakes began and that the earthquakes were close to the well. In the case
of the Cleburne area, there was not a strong timing relationship between the earthquakes and the wells. Heyward and SMU seismology professor Brian Stump, along with other SMU and University of Texas at Austin scientists, were part of that study as well. The difference between the DFW/Cleburne studies and the Reno-Azle studies is the technology available to scientists. “We can do a bigger and better job at looking at the data,” Stump said. “A lot more details in understanding of the cause in the earthquakes.” In both studies, rather than information being directly sent back to campus, the instruments were left on site for several months, then seismologists would return and download the data to their laptop to analyze it. The educational website has been set up with information about where the instruments are installed, frequently asked questions and photos.

Sporty Afros unite hair and fitness for a healthier America LAUREN CASTLE Contributing Writer lcastle@smu.edu
Two SMU alumnae found a way to combine passion and hair care into a business. In 2010, Whitney Patterson ’07 and Alexandria Williams ‘07 founded Sporty Afros. The duo wanted to give advice to women, especially African American women, about nutrition, fitness and hair care. “We were both working out and we were training for our first triathlon. Whenever we be in the gym or out running or biking or swimming, women, especially black women, would come up to us asking what we were doing with our hair, wondering what our training regimen was, and how we were staying fit and looking cute and all of these different questions,” Patterson said. The company initially started as a blog for friends and a place to direct women who wanted advice. The blog became a big hit. Now, Sporty Afros has a hair care line and is on multiple social media platforms including: YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Patterson and Williams believe hair is often an excuse for African American women to not workout. “I think hair is used as an excuse. Honestly, I mean it is kind of blunt and kind of harsh and a lot of women don’t necessarily agree
with us. But at the end of the day, African American women have one of the highest obesity rates in the United States and we’re about breaking down the barriers for more women to become active,” Patterson said. In 2013, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention released a report stating that African American women had the highest obesity rates in the country from 2007-2010. “For African American women, one of the big things is hair... A lot of women use that as an excuse to not work out. Our hair is a little bit harder to manage and it’s very expensive to upkeep, depending on your style and whatever it is that you want to wear,” Patterson said. Sporty Afros strives to provide tips and motivational advice to a diverse group of women. Besides hair care tips, women can find workout tips, a motivational blog, hair care products and recipes. There are recipes for meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Most of the company’s hair care advice is geared toward African American women. However, Sporty Afros believe their tips can help women of different ethnicities. “We do have tips that are specific for African American hair, but there are tips that are applicable if you have curly or wavy hair as well. We have found there are a lot

benefit from our hair care tips,” Patterson said. The duo feels that women should use products that moisturize hair and promote hair growth. The Sporty Afros hair care line contains two products: a moisturizing spray and ayurvedic oil. The hair care products are offered on the company’s website. According to Patterson, African American women need to keep their hair moisturized because sweat can dry out the hair when working out. Hair care tips include hairstyles for working out. Women can find hairstyles like pin-curls and “The Janelle Monae.” For women who wear ponytails, Patterson advises women to use elastic bands
that don’t have metal around the elastic to prevent snagging and breakage. “It is the tension from the rubber band. It can be damaging and break your hair, especially if you put the ponytail in the same place every single time. If you do wear your ponytail move it around,” Patterson said. Patterson believes every woman should use a deep conditioner at least once a week to keep hair strong. According to Patterson, the key to having a healthy lifestyle is starting as soon as possible. “I think that the earlier you start, the better because when you have those healthier habits in place you don’t run into the stuff that a lot of people run into. A lot of people start
getting healthy when some kind of medical issue, some weight issue, disease or something going wrong,” Patterson said. Patterson believes it can be difficult for women to maintain a healthy lifestyle. She encourages women to take baby steps, find their motivation and find 20-30 minutes three times a week to workout. Williams and Patterson like to remind Sporty Afros readers, that they are ordinary women just like them. “We are not fitness models, we’re not professionals, we are both just every day women who are trying to live a healthy lifestyle and help out other women,” Patterson said.

OPINION
MONDAY ■ FEBRUARY 10, 2014
SOCHI
EDITORIAL BOARD
Dogs are people, too DEMETRIO TENIENTE Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu If you have been paying attention to the events happening around you over the past couple of weeks then you have heard of the horrid conditions facing athletes and spectators of the 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. A Twitter account dedicated to the strange and bizarre conditions in Sochi has amassed over 300,000 followers; that is more than the official Sochi Olympics account. As laughable as the conditions can be at times, there is one Sochi problem that is not. In fact it’s absolutely disgusting. I’m not talking about the restroom situation, either. No, I am talking about the systematic killing of dogs in Sochi, Russia. So far, the estimated death toll is between 5,000-7,000 dogs. That isn’t population control—that is genocide. These animals have been pegged as stray or feral dogs, but that isn’t the case for all the animals. Many of these dogs have been misplaced due to the demolition of homes in preparation for the construction leading up to the Olympics. There have been some reports of attacks from dogs, but not enough to say all of them are vicious killers. There were some activists, bless their hearts, that attempted to save as many of the dogs as they possibly could before the opening of the games. However, by that time the damage had already
been done. Possibly the worst bit of information regarding the extermination, is the means by which these dogs were killed. The “wild” dogs were shot with a poisonous dart that slowly caused the animals’ body to shut down. With this particular poison it takes about 90 minutes for the heart and lungs to shut down. The dogs were not shot and then picked up, they were shot and left to die out in the middle of the streets. People walking by could do nothing to help these poor animals as their hearts and lungs shut down. I can’t imagine any scenario where I would think it’s okay to shoot something and leave it to die out in the open. I hope by this point you know I am completely against the killing of these dogs. However, if you are going to kill dogs and these are the means that you are going to do it, you are asking for trouble. Why not pick the dogs up after shooting them? Why make everyone watch the dogs slowly die? As a dog owner, and someone who treats his dog like his own child, the situation in Sochi fills my heart with a great sadness. However, the injustice taking place in Sochi reminds me that the world is a much different place outside of the U.S. Can you reasonably have imagined something so terrible happening before the Super Bowl in New York earlier this month? Protests and possibly even riots would have prevented a mass execution like that of Sochi. I am not naive enough to believe that there are no crimes against animals in the United States, but I am thankful that our nation has enough sensitivity to keep it out of sight.

FIRING LINE
In case of snow, take it slow
ELLEN SMITH / The Daily Campus
Snow blankets Bishop Boulevard on Thursday, Feb. 6. Several students and faculty members complained of losing traction on the roads, resulting in car accidents.
Make safety a priority, SMU Last Thursday brought an unexpected and chilly blanket that fell over campus, and most of the Dallas/Fort-Worth area. Snow started falling around 7 a.m. on SMU campus, and by 9 a.m. the roads were covered. Despite the weather conditions, SMU did not cancel classes. These conditions were nothing compared to the storms hitting the northeast. But they were still enough to cause credible and significant danger to students when not properly prepared for or addressed in a timely manner. Three people on our staff alone were involved in car accidents, one of which ended in a totaled car while driving down the Boulevard. People were slipping on ice all over campus. According to those we’ve spoken to, there was still no salt or other
weather aids on the roads and sidewalks by 11 a.m.—three hours after classes began. This was far too late in our opinion, and in the opinion of many in slipping cars and facing falls on the sidewalk. Despite the fact that SMU did not close Thursday, many professors cancelled classes and even more students did not attend them. While some may have done so out of laziness or convenience, many simply could not make it to campus—several Dallas roads were closed or near undriveable, and many parts of the campus had no steady walking or driving ground. One professor offered extra credit to his students for attending class. What is the point of holding classes if most of them will not—or cannot—
be attended? SMU acted irresponsibly Thursday. Classes should have been canceled, but they weren’t. And if classes weren’t to be cancelled, salt and gravel should have been out on the roads and sidewalks immediately. Considering that the snow started piling up by 8 a.m., this was too late. Students and professors were slipping and sliding on roads and sidewalks for over three hours. If SMU insists on having classes in rain, sleet or snow, it needs to be prepared for icy weather conditions. Gravel and salt should have been out on the roads and poured over campus very early Thursday morning to avoid accidents. This is not the first snow and ice fall of the season, and certainly not of the decade.
SMU has experienced severe weather conditions, and there is no reasonable excuse that our campus should not be readily prepared to make our roads and sidewalks safe, regardless of the weather forecast the night before. If the sky is doing something different than predicted, then by all means, please follow what the physical weather conditions require. Winter is far from over. We will probably have more ice and snow days this semester and this issue will resurface, perhaps as soon as this week. There is no excuse for SMU not to be prepared for these conditions. So long as they aren’t, students and professors should not be forced to risk injuries, car accidents and general well-being to get to class. Be safe, SMU.
Opinions expressed in each unsigned editorial represent a consensus decision of the editorial board. All other columns on this page reflect the views of individual authors and not necessarily those of the editorial staff.
PSA: There’s a possibility that more snow is coming to Dallas. If any of you saw how the roads looked last time, this knowledge could make you begin to stress about the possible driving conditions ahead. I hear a lot of people saying, “The roads are like this because no one knows how to drive on the snow and ice. If people understood that maybe things would be better.” Well, here’s what you need to know. Everything needs to be gradual. You don’t slam your brake; you gradually increase pressure. Same thing with the gas. Same thing with turning. With this knowledge in mind, everyone’s commute might go a lot smoother.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Mustangs lose on a buzzer-beater SAMUEL SNOW Associate Sports Editor ssnow@smu.edu The SMU women’s basketball team wanted a victory at home to ease the romping handed to them by the University of Connecticut, and it looked like they were going to get it with 5.7 seconds left. Up 64-63, their inability to block out on the final shot, though, proved to be their demise. Keena Mays hit two free throws at the 5.7-second mark to give the Lady Mustangs the one-point lead. However, with 0.1 seconds left in the game, Rutgers’ point guard Rachel Hollivay was able to tip-in the miss by teammate Tyler Scaife for the buzzer-beating victory. SMU has hit a little bit of a rough patch, losing five of the last eight and falling to 14-9 overall and 5-7 in the American Athletic Conference. A win over Rutgers, now 18-5 (9-3), would have gone a long way in righting the ship, but one shot changed that. SMU actually put together a pretty good game. They had five players score in double-digits, had 17 assists on 23 shots, outrebounded Rutgers 33-26 and forced 24 turnovers. It was the few problem areas that led to the loss, though. The Mustangs shot 39.7 percent from the field, 57.1 percent from the charity stripe, and committed 18 turnovers themselves. The bench production was also suspect in the loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

SMU guard Kiara Perry finished the night with 12 points during Saturday’s loss to Rutgers University
to produce commendably in comparison. The combination of Briyona Canty and Precious Person put together 13 points on five of seven shooting and nabbed three steals. SMU’s duo of Akil Simpson and Mallory Singleton led the way for the Mustangs, as they utilized Rutgers’ inability to stop the forwards. Simpson had 11 points and eight boards, while Singleton put together an all-around good effort

with 10 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. It was Kahleah Copper and Hollivay who paced Rutgers. Copper finished with a game-high 20 points, and Hollivay had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Looking to avoid a three-game losing streak, SMU will take on the 9-14 (2-10) University of Central Florida Knights. That match will take place tomorrow at 6 p.m. in Moody Coliseum.

With the SMU Mustangs leading No. 7 Cincinnati 7-2 with 13:45 remaining in the first half, Markus Kennedy picked up his second foul. At the time, there were some questions about who would take over for the focal point of SMU’s offense. Kennedy took a seat on the bench to preserve his self for the second half, and Cannen Cunningham took his spot. Cunningham filled in more than adequately for Kennedy, scoring 11 points on 4-5 shooting, grabbing three rebounds and two steals all in the first half. In the second half, SMU let Cincinnati creep back into the game, cutting the lead to seven points. That’s when Nick Russell stepped up his game, scoring or assisting on 10 of SMU’s next 18 points. At the end of his spurt, the Mustangs led 65-47. It should come as no surprise that these two stepped up, as both of them have been here for more than a year. For Russell, he joined SMU with Larry Brown last year as the Mustangs finished 15-17.
Cunningham has been here a year longer than Russell. The junior center was here before Brown was hired and played as SMU finished second to last in Conference USA. When it came time to step up their game in order to gain relativity again, they were more than prepared. “We’ve seen the bottom,” remarked Cunningham following the big-time win. “We’re trying to get to the top, I think we can do it. Our goal is to win a national championship this year.” As one of three players who has been here for three years, Cunningham provides the veteran leadership necessary to do just that. Providing the point of view of one of the transfers on the team who was here last year, Russell said: “This team is mostly transfers. Everybody wants to win. That’s why they came here.” That’s the unifying goal for this team. Career-long or transfer, they all just want relevance. And with a huge victory over Cincinnati, they’ve done just that. As Russell added in his postgame press conference, “The sky’s the limit.”

Duffy discusses ‘Graham Meadows does Mozart: in the White House’ ‘La Finta Giardiniera’ AVERY STEFAN Contributing Writer astefan@mail.smu.edu
Michael Duffy, best-selling author and deputy managing editor of “TIME Magazine,” was featured at Perkins School of Theology’s annual Public Life/ Personal Faith Lecture and Colloquium at SMU Friday morning to discuss his New York Times Bestseller and the role of the infamous preacher Billy Graham in the White House. The lecture started off with an introduction by the Dean of Perkins School of Theology Bill Lawrence, who designated the colloquium as a fundraising event to raise awareness and funds for various faith-based organizations, namely The Center for Religious Leadership. There were approximately 20 students and faculty members in attendance, many of whom study or are involved with the theology department at SMU. Each audience member received a free copy of Duffy’s New York Times Bestseller “The Preacher and the Presidents: Billy Graham in the White House,” which turned out to be the primary focus of the lecture. Duffy wrote “The Preacher and the Presidents: Billy Graham in the White House,” first published in 2007, with his colleague at “TIME Magazine,” Nancy Gibbs, to examine the relationships rooted in faith between the infamous preacher Billy Graham and the 11 different presidents he interacted with. “What about Graham made these partnerships possible? What did each leader need from him? How do we understand the role of faith in politics?” were the types of questions Duffy began to ask that sparked the idea for his book. Duffy explained that the book does not examine the political aspects of the story, as many journalistic novels would, but rather

reveals the “pain, redemption, regret, help and loneliness that all of the men who sat in the Oval Office experienced.” According to Duffy, the protagonist Graham was a source of comfort and support to America’s Leaders from Truman on, and acted as a mediator between past presidents. “Graham was there to ‘midwife’ the relationships,” Duffy said, referring to the Graham’s function in the presidents’ personal lives. Emily Miller-Todd, a graduate student at the Perkins School of Theology said that she was surprised to learn about the role that faith has played for various presidents, because she had assumed it was not a very prevalent aspect of their presidencies. “It is something that would matter to me personally in voting for a president because it is a position of extreme power,” Miller-Todd explained. “I would like to think there’s some humility that accompanies
that power, so I would like to know that a president has some other authority outside of himself.” Duffy is also the author of “The President’s Club: Inside the World’s Most Exclusive Fraternity,” which spent 30 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list. This book is also intrinsically related to Graham as it examines the relationships formed between presidents, encouraged by the preacher. “Human pieces are the ones that matter most,” Duffy said. “We tried to stay focused on that as we walked through two 60 year inquiries; one about faith, the other about partnership.” This year’s Public Life/ Personal Faith event was sponsored for the second year in a row by the Bolin family. Pat Bolin, chairman and chief executive officer at EagleCorp and Eagle Oil & Gas Co. in Dallas, was the 2010 recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the SMU Cox School of Business.
Befuddled romance, secret identities, vicious murder plots and acts of deceit created quite the scene in Bob Hope Theatre as the SMU Meadows Opera Theatre debuted its spring show, “La Finta Giardiniera” (The Pretend Garden Girl) Thursday night. The opera was written by an 18-year-old Mozart and was entirely sung and performed in Italian by the opera students. The Meadows Opera Theatre performed the two and a half hour show four times from Thursday to Sunday in the language of love while acting out a chaotic love story, but don’t worry, subtitles were provided. The Meadow’s students and directors have been working tirelessly for months to put on this challenging project. “We started back in September when we first got our scores,” said Alex Vollmer, an SMU student who plays leading role Count Belfiore. “The first thing we had to do was go through the 700 page score and translate everything… Once we got
done with that we came back in January and started rehearsing.” The love story features a young noble woman, named Violente, who disguises herself as a gardener for the city’s governor. Violente is searching for her former lover, Count Belfiore, who stabbed her in a jealous rage and left her to die. In the meantime, the greatly sought after Belfiore has promised himself to the governor’s niece, who quickly establishes her dominance over the submitting Belfiore. The opera features several other love triangles that show heartache, true love and comical scenes and situations. “It’s kind of a crazy thing about love and how extreme it can be and how it affects our day-to-day life,” Vollmer said. “It’s a lot of fun and it has a happy ending.” The opera takes place in a rural countryside and the stage featured a rolling green landscape with an impressively large daisy that lit up, moved and grew to reflect the overall mood of what the characters were feeling. A large screen projected the translations above the scenes so the audience could remain informed with the characters’ lives.
Award-winning performer, Hank Hammett directed the show. Hammett has worked with some of the world’s most prestigious opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera and the New York City Opera. The production also featured a live orchestra and harpsichord. “It’s a great opportunity to play a new style of music,” violinist Melissa Priller said. “It’s a lot of work getting through Mozart and there’s a lot of notes. It’s worth it because the show has been going really well.” Dr. Paul Phillips, another well-known music director in the Dallas community, conducted the pit orchestra. With large amounts of rehearsal time, it’s no wonder the cast developed a close relationship to one another both on and off stage. Jennie Lee, an ensemble member and vocal performance major, has one word to describe the cast: family. “In spending all this time together, everyone’s developed a more open, honest, genuine relationship with one another,” Lee said. “The polishing never ends, and that’s what makes SMU Meadows Opera Theatre such a high quality program.”
