NEWS Briefs World TOKYO—A former crewmember on a Japanese battleship that sank during World War II recognized photos of wreckage discovered this week off the Philippines by a team led by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. CARACAS, Venezuela— Early morning fireworks burst for a commemoration of Hugo Chavez on the second anniversary of his death. Chavez died from cancer, but the exact nature of the cancer was never revealed.
National PHILADELPHIA P.A.— Philadelphia officials say an officer has been killed in the line of duty after he was shot in the head while trying to stop a robbery at a video game store. Mayor Michael Nutter says Officer Robert Wilson III died Thursday. NEW YORK— A Delta jetliner landing at LaGuardia Airport in a driving snowstorm Thursday skidded off a runway and crashed through a chain-link fence, its nose coming to rest just feet from the roiling waters of an icy bay. Six people were hurt in the midday accident minutes after the runway was plowed.
Texas HOUSTON— Authorities say Houston Texans safety D.J. Swearinger drove off from a business without paying for nearly $20,0000 worth of customization work on his truck, though it could simply be a “misunderstanding.” Harris County sheriff’s deputies were called to Espi Motor Sports after Swearinger left. The business didn’t provide an itemized list of the auto detailing services, sheriff’s office spokesman Deputy Thomas Gilliland said Thursday.
Lilly Ledbetter speaks at SMU Women’s Symposium’s 50th Anniversary MATTIE LIPPE Contributing Writer mlippe@smu.edu Lilly Ledbetter gave Patricia Arquette’s Oscar speech a run for its money when she tackled the equal pay battle in her keynote address for the SMU Women’s Symposium’s 50th Anniversary on Wednesday afternoon. Ledbetter is a luminary for gender wage equality. Her 10-year fight for equal pay began as a manager at Goodyear Tire and Rubber plant in Gadsen, Ala., where she received an anonymous letter informing her that she was paid 40 percent less than men doing the same job. She took her lawsuit against Goodyear
to a federal court, and later to the Supreme Court. After the Court ruled against her, she lobbied on Capitol Hill until finally, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which nullified the Supreme Court decision and restored employee’s rights to challenge pay discrimination. But Ledbetter’s situation is not unique. In fact, she described how for every dollar a man earns doing the same job, white women earn 77 cents, black women 62 cents, and Hispanic women 54 cents. One’s pay dictates life–and not just during employment. Ledbetter explained how her smaller pay continues to affect her today, because her salary back then
determined her Social Security, 401K and retirement plan. Prior to the Ledbetter Act, an employee would lose the next paycheck if caught discussing his or her pay. “Women are behind in wages because we can’t afford to speak up. We can’t afford to miss a paycheck,” Ledbetter said. Following the speech, Ledbetter held a Q&A, as well as a book signing. The audience included SMU and community women, and even a few men. As Ledbetter said, “Our fight is everyone’s fight.” Even the Democrats and Republicans agreed on passing her bill. Junior Shelley Knutson was among those who braved the rain to listen to
health
the speech. “She wasn’t just an actress who spoke vaguely about equal pay during her Oscar speech,” said Knutson. “She’d experienced the discrimination, and fought for change. She’s the kind of woman we should be listening to.” Ledbetter’s keynote kicked off the 50th Anniversary of the Women’s Symposium. The Symposium was established in 1966, making it the longest running event of its kind, and Ledbetter’s message carried the tune of the Symposium’s vision: “We women have to stick together,” she said. “We have to support each other. We have to mentor each other.” Needless to say, Ledbetter no longer purchases Goodyear tires.

HPV lecture explains purpose behind not vaccinating children Candi Bolden Contributing Writer cbolden@smu.edu In a lecture to the Health and Society Program Tuesday, Dr. Jasmine Tiro stressed the importance of HPV vaccination and presented her research on why certain parents are reluctant to vaccinate there children against HPV. “Jasmine Tiro was chosen for her interdisciplinary work, including her collaboration with SMU psychology professor Austin Baldwin,” Director of Health and Society Program Carolyn Smith-Morris said. During her presentation, Trio compared the vaccination rate for HPV to the vaccination rate for the T-dap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis) and the rate for Meningococcal Vaccination. “The T-dap and Meningococcal rate is increasing in vaccinations which usually happens for vaccinations as they become more available, while the doses for HPV are in a plateau,” Tiro said. Sophomore Hallie Hovey-Murray didn’t expect to hear that vaccinations for HPV were plateauing. Hovey-Murray is a supporter of HPV vaccinations as a way to prevent cervical cancer. “I was surprised to hear that Dallas has a low vaccination rate since is has good medical resources,” she said. Tiro, a Cancer Prevention Fellow at the National Cancer Institute, believes that this is partially owed to the newness of the vaccination, the parents’ thoughts, the healthcare provider and the U.S. treatment of vaccinations. To help the impact of the healthcare provider, Tiro implemented a system that gives doctors an electronic standing of a patients immunization records at each check up. If the child was not vaccinated at the check up, the doctor has to supply a reason why they were not. Tiro found that the most common reason parents chose not to vaccinate their children is because they do not have
enough information. In response, Tiro and her research group decided to help inform parents about HPV. “We wanted to mail educational materials out for instance a brochure, out before the clinical visit and if they still declined the vaccination we called and asked why,” Tiro said. Tiro reasoned that sending out brochures reminded parents about the vaccinations before their visit and allowed them to research comfortably and at their own pace. According to Tiro, the brochures did help to inform parents, but also formed another problem. “A lot of women were too suspicious on the emphasis on HPV and thought that the vaccination was too new,” Tiro said. The HPV vaccination was approved and recommended in 2006 after voluntary testing was done with 16,000 women, according to the Center for Disease Contorl and Prevention (CDC) and the information in Tiro’s brochures. SMU professor Austin Baldwin worked as the co-principal investigator in the next part of the information process. Baldwin worked with the research groups’ iPad-based intervention project that had parents look at information and record their opinions about the HPV vaccine. “My expertise is in the psychological processes that help us understand selfpersuasion and why it would work as an intervention,” Baldwin said. At the end of her lecture, Tiro compared the vaccination rates in different countries. According to the President’s Cancer Panel Annual Report for 2012-2013, the coverage for the threedose vaccination for HPV in Australia and the UK is 71.2 percent and 60.4 percent respectively. The U.S. has a rate of 33.4 percent. “So why do we suck at vaccinating as country? We don’t deliver vaccines in school,” Tiro said.

SMU students presented a check to the Dallas Allstars charity.
SMU students raise $5,645 with a marble Jeremiah Jensen Contributing Writer jdjensen@smu.edu Two SMU students have raised $5,645 for charity with nothing but a marble and some determination. Sophomore Samuel Lankford and his teammate Tala Duwaji received the check on March 4 to give to the Dallas Allstars non-profit. The impetus for this act of charity comes from Director of Arts and Entrepreneurship Jim Hart and the “marble game” he has his students play in his “Attracting Capital” class. Hart gave each team of students a glass marble and told them to trade the marble for things of greater value, with the goal
of selling these items to profit the charity. Lankford and Duwaji first traded the marble for a pencil, the pencil for a pen, the pen for $1,000, and through a few more creative trades, ended up with $5,645. Lankford said that the experience was enlightening. “The key to my success was not the object I had, but the good and the impact it was going to have in the end,” said Lankford. The Dallas Allstars provide underprivileged children in the Dallas area with cultural education, leadership training, and after school activities. They seek to connect children with the educational, cultural, and corporate resources available in Dallas.

Analysis
A day in the life of a Division 1 athlete Nikki Chavanelle Associate Sports Editor @NikkiChavanelle Ajee Montes walks into class with his SMU hoodie, some grey sweatpants and Nike slides on. Montes, a large, athletically built man, sits towards the front of the class, but not too far forward because then he would attract too much attention when he inevitably puts his head down to rest for a second. Other students share their musings about him: “Oh, he must have had a fun night,” or, “Well, maybe he shouldn’t have pulled an all nighter.” But Montes, a red-shirt sophomore from La Puente, California, wasn’t out partying the night before, nor was he up too late studying. Montes is a starting defensive back for the SMU Mustangs, which means long hours every day spent perfecting his game when other students are leading more typical college lives. “Being an athlete is very tiring and a lot of hard work, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world,” Montes said. “It’s early mornings and late nights but the feeling I get when I run out of the tunnel and hear the fans going crazy, I know in my heart everything is worth it.” Life for Division-1 athletes can be a balancing act. Some students think they have it rough when a busy schedule means getting their homework done, attending that club meeting, playing in an intramural game and then maybe running out to dinner with friends. Imagine tacking on an additional four or more hours a day to train and practice, which not only forces an athlete to wake up earlier but also leaves them physically exhausted. And they do it, rain or shine. While many Division-1 student athletes receive scholarships to play their sport, many do not. Many athletes put in all that time and energy without an athletic scholarship because, like Montes, they will do anything to play. There are 252 NCAA Division-1 football teams nationwide with about 125 players each and only 85 available scholarships.

SMU’s Ajee Montes (10) is just one collegiate athlete who balances his student life with playing a sport.
That’s about 31,500 Division-1 athletes who wake up earlier, work harder and do more in a day than most college students. And that’s only football. This past season, the SMU football team recorded only one win in 12 games but that didn’t stop the athletes from waking up at 6:15 a.m. to go to treatment for any injuries and then an 8 a.m. practice. And it’s not just the SMU football players who are stretched for time. Janelle Giordano, starting middle blocker for the SMU women’s volleyball team, said there are many times when she’d like nothing more than a day off. “But then I look at my teammate standing next to me and realize that’s why I play,” she said. “I’m getting to do what I love and for a lot of people their dreams don’t become reality.” Mustang athletes still have to go to class for three or four hours like every other student on campus, but they also have meetings and workouts after. They still have to do their homework and keep up their grades. And they probably also try to put in some time for their friends and some food here and there. That’s not to say that student athletes don’t receive some help along the way, however.

According to Lindsey Olsen from SMU Athletics Public Relations, SMU student-athletes are in charge of managing their own timetables but they can receive help from academic advisors and life skills coaches. Student athletes are able to choose their classes before everyone else so they can make sure their school schedule doesn’t get in the way of their practice schedules. Athletes get picked up by Giddy-up if they’re going to be late to class. SMU has also implemented the NCAA’s optional free meal plan for student athletes just this past year. Idi Camara, an SMU sophomore and starting forward for the men’s soccer team, wakes up to eat breakfast at 7 a.m. before a two-hour training session. He then goes to class, has treatment, eats dinner and then goes to mandatory study hours. “No, it’s not fun! I have no life! But no doubt, it is worth it,” Camara said. “Soccer is my passion though. I would do anything to play.” Camara estimates that 85 percent of his friends are his teammates, 7 percent are other athletes and just 8 percent are non-athletes. Camara believes that athletes are just like everybody else, and it wouldn’t make a difference if he was friends with more nonathletes. “We are all the same, the only difference is that we play sports. Even if I was friends with more non-athletes, we would still do the same things that my friends and I do,” Camara said. NCAA by-law 17.02.1.1 states that athletes can only spend 20 hours per week on “countable athletically related activities,” but for most SMU athletes, their lives are dictated by their sports. While sports like football,
soccer and basketball dominate the SMU sports scene, SMU boasts some other more successful teams such as the men’s golf team and the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. These smaller teams put in equal amounts of hard work, often with less recognition. Senior men’s swimmer Pablo Lara has one of the most grueling schedules of any student-athlete but his daily routine has translated in the success of his team. Lara wakes up at 5:30 a.m., goes to practice at 6 a.m., has breakfast with his team, goes to class, has afternoon practice from 3:30 to 6 p.m. then has to have dinner and do homework. “Now repeat that schedule everyday, except Sunday,” Lara said. “I could tell you a funny story about me falling asleep in class, but I fall asleep everyday in class so it doesn’t really count.” While most Division 1 athletes wouldn’t trade their unique opportunity for a more relaxed lifestyle, SMU has many students that have passed up on college sports for other advantages. “After four years of swimming in college I would’ve just left the sport behind so I saw that as wasting time that I could use to study and hangout with friends. Some things last longer than four years unlike college sports,” said Donzie Lilly, a sophomore accounting major and member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Some athletes get to experience the non-athlete life when they get injured, but each one counts down the days until they can compete again. Montes suffered a seasonending concussion a couple games into the 2014 football season and had a chance to live the life of an average student. “I was seriously going crazy, I missed it so much,” Montes said. “Being a student athlete has taught me time management, accountability and how to be a leader.”
Quantifying Moody Madness Declan Healey Contributing Writer dhealey@smu.edu Hollers from Section 112, lobster and Luigi costumes, and an array of blown up celebrity head posters set the scene for one of the best spectacles to watch in the world of College Basketball. A feeling of resurgence and rejuvenation is in the air at the newly renovated Moody Coliseum, where the Mustangs have posted a record of 24-3 the past two seasons. Legendary head coach Larry Brown has taken notice as well. “We’re just fortunate to be able to play in this kind of atmosphere,” Brown said. There’s no doubt the chaotic crowd of Moody Coliseum plays a role in helping the Mustangs play so well at home. But exactly how much does The Mob contribute to the teams on court success? Calculating the advantage of playing at home compared to the road starts with looking at the metric of True Home Court Advantage, the average difference between a team’s home and away scoring margin. Crunching the numbers for the 2014-2015 season, the Mustangs have scored 244 more points than their opponents at home compared to just 22 points more while on the road. This 222-point differential
averages out to an 8.54-point per game advantage when the Mustangs play at home compared to an away or neutral court. By comparison, the average true home court advantage for every Division 1 NCAA team is around 3.6 points. The legendary Cameron Indoor Stadium only provides the Duke Blue Devils with a true home court advantage of 4.3 points per game. True Home Court Advantage is not the “be all end all” for determining home court advantage. Some teams just play poorly on the road, or face weaker opponents at home. For the Mustangs, this 8.54-point advantage should come as no surprise. Moody Coliseum’s compact seating gets fans closer to the action than the 18,000-20,000 seat stadiums at many large state universities. That gives The Mob an opportunity to have a greater impact on the game. This was apparent in the SMU-Temple game, where during the second half Moody Coliseum seemed to shake as the mustangs went on a 7-0 run to help erase a 10-point deficit and win. 8.54 points is a great True Home Court Advantage score, but there’s no reason it can’t be 9 or 10 points.

Friday top five with Amy amy cooley Contributing Writer acooley@smu.edu The weather outside is frightful, but hopefully this article is delightful. Happy cold and miserable Friday, SMU; here are some stories about famous people.

“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is the perfect film to get you Spring Break ready.
Spring Break films to get you in the mood annaleewalton Photo Editor alwalton@smu.edu As a film major here at SMU, I really should tell you about all the Oscar nominations or hidden gems from Movie Trading CO. There are just so many interesting, quality films that you need to see before you die. But I’m not going to do that. I mean, who wants to sit down to watch a silent, psychedelic film about crazy people who just open their eyes wide a lot and speak in weird sentences? Especially not when you’re going on Spring Break. The plane ride to Seaside, LA, Colorado, Cabo or even the hotel that is your home should be spent watching funny, lowconcept beach films that make you forget about technique, form, narrative, metaphors, exams, homework...shall I go on? This list of movies are exactly what you want to check out of school and check in for your flight to your get-away. (Warning: these may be a bit more chick than flick.) “Blue Crush” You can almost feel the sand in your bottoms as the stunning Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) trains for a Hawaii surf competition with her three best friends. While dealing with the trauma of a near-drowning incident, her on screen heart throb Matt (Matthew Davis) has us swooning. A classic beach
bum flick, “Blue Crush” is like that trashy beach read you just can’t put down. “The Endless Summer” Yeah, ok I know it’s literally 92 minutes of cool surfing footage, but what better way to mindlessly think about the beach. Plus the soundtrack is totally rad. A low-budget labor of surfer love, Bruce Brown’s documentary follows two young boarders, Michael Hynson and Robert August, as they encounter waves and locals around the globe – from Hawaii to California to Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti. “Hot Tub Time Machine” For you brave souls venturing North, here is the mother of all mindless comedies set in the snow. A malfunctioning time machine at a ski resort takes a man, with his two friends and nephew, back to 1986, where they must relive a fateful night and not change anything to make sure the nephew is born. Buckle up and get cozy because this crazy cast will have you ready to get off the plane and into the snow in no time. “Aquamarine” A bit of a chick flick, but always a goodie. This missqueenie-tweenie-fourteenie will always get us girls in the mood to sit on the beach with our besties. Starring the timeless JoJo as well as Emma Roberts
and Sara Paxton, “Aquamarine” takes us to back to the better days of Junior High where mermaids still existed and everyone wanted a Raymond (and still do).
1. Will Smith’s new movie “Focus” came out last Friday, and despite excitement from its trailers, the film did not do as well as expected, especially compared to his previous films. “Focus” earned $19 million this weekend, even less than Smith’s box office flop, “After Earth,” which opened with $26.5 million. Were people disheartened by his last film? Have we as movie viewers lost faith in Will Smith? Hopefully the bad weather was the deterrent from seeing the film because “Focus” looks like an exciting action flick and a darn good time. The movie still came in at number one, followed by “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” “The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” “Fifty Shades of Grey” and at number five was another movie making its debut, “The Lazarus Effect.” 2. I’ve mentioned the roast of Justin Bieber before, but now we have a little more information. The taping will happen on March 14, rather than the expected March 1 (Bieber’s 21st birthday), and will air March 30.
I don’t know who all will be there to talk trash on Bieber, but I do know who won’t be. Despite Bieber’s numerous attempts to persuade Seth Rogen to roast him, Rogen has yet to respond, so it doesn’t look likely. Comedy Central also invited Selena Gomez to the scene. You know an exgirlfriend could provide the best material, but alas, she declined the offer. Thanks a lot, Selena. 3. All we hear about in the entertainment world is the Kardashians, so I’m sorry to tell you that I am putting another story about them in the media. Kris Jenner just paid E! more than $100 million for her and her daughters to stay on the network for four more years. Really?! More than a hundred million?! Their entire lives revolve around this network it seems. Well congrats on four more years, ladies. 4. “Dancing With the Stars” premieres Monday March 16, a warm welcome as we return from spring break. This will kick off the show’s 20th season with an interesting cast: Rumor Willis, daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis; Suzanne Somers; Nastia Lukin, who will probably win because she’s a gymnast and has all the grace in the world already; Robert Herjavec from the show “Shark Tank;” Willow Shields who plays Prim in “The Hunger Games;” Micheal Sam, the obligatory male athlete on the show and the
first openly gay player drafted into the NFL; Redfoo from LMFAO; Charlotte McKinney, the model famous for the Carl’s Jr. bikini ad; Riker Lynch from Glee; singer Patti Labelle; and Sergeant Noah Galloway, a war veteran and father of three who lost his left arm and leg in Iraq in 2005 and has since recovered as a personal trainer and motivational speaker. His story is sure to tug on the heartstrings of many, and I predict that he will be the fan favorite this season. 5. Last but not least, we are going to revisit the Oscars and talk fashion…sort of. Lupita Nyong’o wore a beautiful, $150,000 Calvin Klein gown made of 6,000 pearls that night. The gown was stolen from her London West Hollywood hotel room on Wednesday and an investigation was launched. However, after two days, the thief returned the dress to the hotel and anonymously called it in saying that the pearls were not real so he had no use for it; he couldn’t sell 6,000 fake pearls in the black market. If you steal a dress, but return it…do you still get in trouble? Who knows. But thus ends one of the strangest theft stories I’ve heard. Although we should be happy that the star got her dress back, Calvin Klein might not be so grateful to the thief for calling attention to the fact that the dress was not as high quality as he would like us to believe.
“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” One of America’s shining dingiest comedies, FSM is simply meant to send you off wee-wee-weeing all the way home. Even if your humor is the witty Oscar Wilde type, it’s hard not to laugh at Peter doing yoga. And who doesn’t love Mila Kunis? “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” Another major chick flick, both the original and sequel are unforgettable adventure stories. And the best part – Blake Lively! Once you look past that the target audience is for pre-teens who wear friendship bracelets, “The Sisterhood” will forever hold a place in your heart...and jeans. Don’t try to deny it, we all wanted a pair of jeans that fit as well as those. And our own Kostas. “Jaws” Well, duh. These films are in no way classics nor are they necessary in terms of education, but they’re practically perfect in every way for the mindless plane ride to whatever adventure you are embarking on this Spring Break. Stay safe and cowabunga!
Nyong’o’s dress was stolen and returned due to its lack of real pearls.

Arts can help improve education, economy When school budgets tighten, arts programs are often the first to go. But that’s okay, because arts classes are only for the gifted, they don’t teach anything, and schools should direct funding to core subjects and sports. Right? Wrong. That’s so painfully, totally, ridiculously wrong. Arts programs improve education, the economy, and individual potential. And it’s time for schools to equally fund the arts. Einstein said, “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” He was right. First, the arts enrich the education experience. It teaches students to critique, to look at things in a different way. It inspires creativity while challenging the intellect. Whereas education sparks the mind, the arts nourishes the mind and the soul. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and First Lady Michelle Obama believe that “the arts boost student achievement, reduce discipline problems, and increase the odds that students will…graduate from college.”
Guest COLUMN
Mattie Lippe Contributing Writer mlippe@smu.edu
The Dana Foundation found that the arts strengthen the brains’ attention networks, which improves cognition and memory, and thus improves academic and athletic performance by boosting concentration. Many believe the economy is not poised to accommodate arts programs, but they couldn’t be more wrong. The arts actually fuel the economy. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis found that in 2011, arts and cultural production accounted for 3.2 percent, or $504 billion, of the GDP, and it employed 2.0 million workers, generating “$289.5 billion in employee compensation in the form of wages, salaries and supplements.” Finally, the arts equip
students with the tools needed in the professional world. Arne Duncan claimed that arts education “is essential to stimulating the creativity and innovation that will prove critical to young Americans competing in a global economy.” The arts teach creative and innovative thinking – thinking that can help companies both build new projects, and bounce back from project blunders. It allows people to think of new ideas, or better ways to get something done, or solutions to a problem. Arts classes are not blowoff classes, or a niche for a few talented masterminds. The arts question, critique and challenge. The arts enrich, improve and inspire. The arts speak a universal language that anyone can understand, and anyone can learn. The arts make the world a more colorful place, and SMU grads should take the lead in insisting art be part of the curriculum in whatever city they live. Lippe is majoring in journalism.

because I knew what that score meant for Maria and her future. It was this moment that made me realize why so many of my family members w ere educators. It was their key to get out of Kashmere Gardens in Houston, one of the most violent neighborhoods in the city. My mom and her siblings did not teach because it was a job, they taught because they wanted more students in Houston schools to have the same opportunities they had to go to college. I realized there was nothing more meaningful I could do with my own privilege. We have a long way to go as a country before we truly achieve justice for all. To fix the systemic oppression that has created the gross inequality of the present will take the hard, dedicated work of countless leaders and changemakers – many who have experienced it first-hand, others who bear witness to it from further away. We must work toward these long-term changes as well as the immediate, urgent opportunities to change the way our students view themselves and their futures. As teachers, we can play a central role in this. Every day, we can remind our kids that their thoughts, ideas, identities and opinions are important. We can share our own stories so that when our kids look to the front of the room, they see a little bit of themselves reflected back. We can remind them that they matter, that they always have and that they always will. Mackingtee graduated from SMU in 2012 and is a teacher for Teach For America-Jacksonville.

violent laws and disregard the writings. ISIS however does not. They consider all religious texts of Islam as Allah’s laws and will quickly persecute anyone who follows man-made laws over Allah’s. Sultana, Begum and Abase found answers to their questions on the Internet. The New York Times suggests that blogs and Twitter accounts such as Aqsa Mahmood’s, a top recruiter of British young girls, may have served as inspiration for the Briton girls to follow the path to imminent death in the name of Allah. Mahmood’s most recent blog posts reassure girls to feel guiltless and confident in their decision to leave their families, suggesting there is no importance to blood ties. “You will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with and loving those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their people.” Beautiful, intelligent, well-liked girls don’t give up all that they know for adventure. They’re deceived into thinking they’re following a higher calling, but it is a perverted truth. Monticure is majoring in dance.

Human rights
This winter, students across the country celebrated Black History Month. They read books by black authors, wrote research papers on civil rights activists, memorized Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech, or watched videos about the Underground Railroad. And if they are taught honestly, as they learn about the struggle of the past, they’ll begin to recognize it in their own present – when a cashier squints suspiciously when they walk into a store, when they turn on the news and see another person who looks like them lose his life to senseless violence. These lessons are anything but history. My students in Jacksonville were only in middle school, but they were well aware of the prejudices they faced. Back in 2012, we followed the Trayvon Martin case very closely – we were less than two hours from where the tragedy took place. Every morning, as we watched CNN Student News, my kids would turn to me and say: “Ms. Mackingtee, why did they get away with that? How could people be so cruel? How could they let a man go free?” Little did they know, explaining such an ugly reality challenged me as much as it did them. But despite the injustice that surrounded my kids, there were still plenty of reasons to hope. At our Friday Celebrations and 6th Grade Monday Morning Meetings, we talked about stereotypes we faced and ways to battle them. During the high school admissions process, one of my students, Jewel, looked at me and said, “Ms. Mackingtee, one day I’m going to prove everyone wrong. I’m going to go to Episcopal so that one day I can be a lawyer.” It is these types of comments that ignite my passion for this work. I never planned on becoming a teacher – my mom and her siblings were all educators, and it was never a profession I saw myself in. But during my time at SMU, I tutored a student named Maria who asked me to help her fill out college applications. As we were filling in her biographical information, she mentioned that her ACT score was a 17. I immediately paused,
When Westernized Muslim teenage girls cut off family ties to become brides of ISIS jihadists, their actions can’t be summed up to teenagers overromanticizing danger and seeking adventure. What is appealing about giving up the freedom to wear cute clothes, Instagram/tweet/Facebook friends, and gossip about boy drama to a 15-year-old girl? What is appealing enough that pulls a high school sophomore away from her loving compassionate parents to go live alone in another country, in poor conditions, under stringent rules? It’s contradicting to the nature of pubescent youths. Yet the narrative repeats itself and three British, Muslim, teenage girls have successfully landed in Syria to join forces with ISIS. Kadiza Sultana, 16; Shamima Begum, 15; and Amira Abase, 15 weren’t tantalized by ISIS recruiters’ promises of free housing, food and clothing to give up the comfort of the housing, food, and clothing their parents provided them. Instead these girls were on a quest to define themselves. All teenagers have moments of vulnerability and look to others for affirmation, regardless of their social status. Within periods of uncertainty, teenagers cling to what they know about themselves and work on defining those attributes. For some high schoolers such as the three Britons that means further exploring their pre-existing faith. Between school, socializing and extracurricular activities Sultana, Begum, and Abase most likely didn’t have time to fully study Islam’s intricate writings, but they had a desire to know more. They were misled. According to The Atlantic, the Islamic State adheres to the religious texts of Islam in its entirety, including horrific and sickening acts of violence that were written during a time of war. Most modern Muslims acknowledge the historical context of the

Amsterdam represents the world capital of “coffee houses,” the Red Light District and beautiful houses. Sounds like heaven on earth, or hell depending on who you ask. And right when people believed that the city couldn’t get better, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol now carries a Lost and Found team consisting of a beagle and his handlers. Sponsored by Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij (for the sake of saving time and avoiding headaches we’ll call them KLM), the Lost & Found team at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has been called on a crucial mission to return and reunite misplaced items to their respective owners. From a phone that fell into the dark hole between airplane seats to a wallet wallowing in terminal traffic, this kind of job requires the service of Amsterdam’s top agent: a pooch. It sounds confusing, so to clear things up simply YouTube search, “KLM Lost and Found service.” After you’ve done that, please adore the Beagle with me, “AWHHH.” Look at his ears flop during the slow motion scenes! Appropriately named Sherlock the dog, the adorable investigative Beagle picks up and delivers valuable items, hunting the legitimate owners with his super-sniffer. The energetic Beagle can be found trotting through the airport with lost stuffed animals or headphones snuggly tucked in his blue KLM vest. Sherlock’s Watson and handler Dirk van Driel said, “We train for muscle strength, endurance, and of course socialization.” The video portrays the cute pooch taking selfies with flyers, hugs from equally cute kids and crowds exhaling, “Dawhh.” Chantal Kremer of Ground Services said, “I think he is a real asset to the company.” I think we can

agree that Sherlock is an asset to frequent fliers, dog lovers and anybody that ever lost something at an airport. Watching the video of him jumping around, with his ears flying all over the place made my day. When I visit Amsterdam, I may misplace my phone on purpose so I could witness wittle Sherlock in action. In a fake interview with the Beagle he assured, “I don’t know who you are. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over training with Dirk van Driel. I will look for you. And I will find you.” Well, I’m simply taken away by his droopy ears. I move that Congress and President Obama drop everything on their plate and amend the constitution to implement an army of Beagles at every airport. Adjust the budget to include at least 90 percent of taxes to be used on Sherlocks in every terminal. It’s what this country needs. Sherlock the dog, the long awaited Messiah, the savior of our lost belongings, the hero we all need.

C’Viche opens on Lower Greenville emily heft Food Editor eheft@smu.edu C’Viche, a casual seafood restaurant and tequila bar, opened up shop mid-February. The restaurant specializes in seafood dishes, with four possible flavor twists – Baja, Peruvian, Island or Asian. Menu items are expansive, from quesadillas to tacos to true ceviche, a slaw-like blend of raw seafood and vegetables served cold. For those less inclined to choose raw fish, C’Viche also
serves chicken tinga, fried fish tacos, quesadillas and more. Since its opening the restaurant has garnered mostly positive, but still mixed, reviews. Though almost all Yelp and Facebook users remarked on excellent quality and taste of entrees, drinks and shots, many described them as too small for the price. Long waits also seemed to be an issue, but a restaurant’s popularity and buzz at the time of its opening is hardly its fault. Is C’viche worth its price? Check back for a detailed review.

Cream-filled Cronuts are soft and flaky.
Pastry chef gifts his infamous ‘Cronut’ recipe to the masses alison glander Contributing Writer aglander@smu.edu The secret is out. The long awaited recipe for worldfamous pastry hybrid known as the Cronut has made its way into the hands of common chefs everywhere. Since its inception, the Cronut has taken the world by storm. The mastermind behind this unique creation is NYC pastry chef Dominique Ansel, who originally hails from the pastry
center of the world in France. His croissant–donut hybrid has been sought after by New Yorkers and pastry fans across the globe. Ansel released his recipes into the homes of pastry connoisseurs, foodies on the fringes of food discovery, and those who can’t bake at all, in his new cookbook, “The Secret Recipes.” Though Ansel claims these recipes are simple, they are far from it. Home chefs need considerable expertise in order to
re-create Ansel’s temperamental pastry brainchild. For the adventurous college student with less dexterity, this recipe may prove impossible. Anyone who attempts to make a pastry should know what he or she is getting into. And a Cronut is just another thing better left to the experts. While this cookbook doesn’t automatically make you a pastry chef, it does provide a look into Ansel’s inspiration, while also providing beautiful photographs of ornate treats.
From a biographical standpoint, Ansel’s cookbook is a masterpiece and a fascinating looking glass into his passion for detail and finesse. For those of you planning a trip to New York after failing to make your own Cronut, make sure you schedule a trip to try one of Ansel’s. This spring, a sit-down version of his shop will open in West Village, New York City. Our fingers are crossed for our own Dominique Ansel bakery here in Dallas.

Here’s what students are saying about MayTerm: “I really liked the condensed semester. I would absolutely take another MayTerm course.” “My professor made coming to class for 4 hours every day enjoyable. She managed to present an incredible amount of material while still making it fun and giving us time for discussion.” “I would highly recommend MayTerm. It is 100% do-able and a great way to take care of classes for your major or the UC.” “If you’re committed, you can learn a large quantity of material in a short period of time.” “I liked how involved everyone was and that it was a smaller class. I thought our professor did an excellent job making sure we did not miss anything.” “I loved how fast paced it was. Short, sweet and to the point.”
