Niall Ferguson, a professor of history at Harvard University, spoke at the Tate Lecture Series Tuesday in McFarlin Auditorium.

Ferguson warns of America’s decline Katelyn Gough News Editor kgough@smu.edu Renowned historian Niall Ferguson told a full McFarlin Auditorium about the looming institutional deterioration of America. While many point to America’s fiscal deficits and growing debt as indicators of its downfall, Ferguson has a different theory. “The deficits are just symptoms of the financial crisis,” Ferguson said. According to Ferguson, the deficits are merely the result of an issue that needs to be addressed for any hope of growth and improvement in the American economy. While many have written on

how poor countries become rich through economic development, Ferguson said the problem with the United States is facing — a fall from rich to poor — is rarely tackled. “Much less has been written on how rich countries can become poor by letting their institutions deteriorate,” Ferguson said. He introduced what he believes are the four forms of institutional degeneration that the U.S. suffers from: the breakdown of contact between generations, the growing complexity of regulation, the rules of lawyers holding merit over the rules of law and the overall decline of civil society. “In each of these four dimensions we have problems,” Ferguson said. “But they are

flexible—our problems are man-made.” Beginning with the generational misbalance, Ferguson said the main problem are the fact that “taxes and benefits today are the same as the taxes and benefits of the next generation of Americans.” “The present generation of America is living to a frightening degree at the expense of future generations,” Ferguson said. As America continues to age, this problem will only grow. Generational inequality is the central problem of our times, Ferguson said. “The problem gets worse the longer you leave it.” But with the only sure-fire, immediate solution meaning extreme and unrealistic tax increases or government

spending cuts, there is no safe way to stop the entitlementcaused budgetary problems the nation has. He said that generation misbalance can ultimately be linked back to the other main problem —what Ferguson refers to as excessive regulation. “What’s going on is regulation is becoming ever more complicated,” he said. “There are only 21 countries in the entire world where it has gotten harder to do business in the past seven years.” The United States is on the list. “It is harder to start a business in New England than it is in Old England,” Ferguson said. He named the country’s complex tax code as the main

culprit that just keeps growing. “It has allowed the legal regulation complex to grow,” Ferguson said. This issue then leads into Ferguson’s theory that the lawyer is now greater than the law. Nearly every business attempting to start requires a lawyer’s counsel. “The United States is underperforming, its court of law is not the [best].” Ferguson was quick to clarify, however, that he was not placing blame on lawyers alone. “I want to blame it on our entire society,” he said. The overall decline of civil society is responsible for America’s decline, Ferguson said. While the U.S. was once admired and revered for the

willingness and efficiency of the American people addressing their societal problems first hand, civil society has lost its problem solving ability. Ferguson said this has been caused by growth in entitlements and entitlement spending, which is a product of America’s political environment. “The surest way to kill off voluntary association and selfhelp is to create a welfare state,” Ferguson said. He explained that America slowly but surely has gone “from being a warfare state to being a welfare state.” Past what some may have considered harsh—but necessary—words, Ferguson ended on an optimistic note.

Presidential library to house 43,000 artifacts

Mark McKinnon talks ‘no labels’

ERIC SHEFFIELD Video Editor esheffield@smu.edu The scene is September 2001. It’s been just three days since the attacks that not only defiled the Manhattan skyline, but the Land of the Free itself. A southern twang echoes lightly over the still smoldering rubble to thousands of rescue workers shoveling debris and treating injuries. A worker shouts towards the voice, “I can’t hear you!”

The next words boom louder than ever. “I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked down these buildings will soon hear all of us!” Smoke clears and the tall, broad shouldered speaker is revealed standing atop a mound of dirt. President George W. Bush, holding a megaphone to reach the thousands of ears that were present that day at Ground Zero. That megaphone is just one of the 43,000 artifacts that are going to be stored in the Bush Presidential Library that is opening in just two months. “I believe the megaphone is perhaps our most iconic artifact,” Alan Lowe, the director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library, said “and at this point, we do plan to use it in our permanent museum exhibit.” In addition to mementos from the historic moments of Bush’s presidency, the library will feature gifts that the former president received from world leaders, celebrities and everyday people. “These artifacts are physical reminders of an amazingly

important time in our nation’s history,” Lowe said. In 2010, during the library groundbreaking, some of the items were on display at a temporary exhibit in Meadows Museum. These items included the baseball that was thrown as the first pitch at Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series, the 9mm pistol that Saddam Hussein was carrying when he was captured and jewelry given to the Bush family by the king of Saudi Arabia. However, in 2010, there were only about 50 artifacts displayed, just a fraction of the total amount. “There are so many interesting objects that it is difficult to just place a few,” Lowe said. But Lowe did mention a few interesting artifacts that will make their way into the exhibit including a baseball bat signed by 46 of the 62 living members of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001, a Peter Max portrait of President Bush and a black Gibson electric guitar given to the president by B.B. King. All 43,000 artifacts are being

Julie Fancher Assignments Desk Editor jfancher@smu.edu Former Chief Media Advisor to President George W. Bush, Mark McKinnon spoke to members of the Dallas Press Club about his organization No Labels last night. McKinnon spoke at the KERA building in Dallas and then fielded questions from members of the audience on the impact of No Labels. The objective of No Labels, which was founded in 2010, is to gather Republicans, Democrats and Independents to push Congress to work together and to get more done. In order to understand the fruition of No Labels, McKinnon described his background and how he came to realize there was more important matters than just the label of your political affiliation. McKinnon was originally a member of the Democratic Party until he met former Gov. George W. Bush.

Junior shares insight into blogging about beauty beginning the blog wasn’t very impressive at all. I barely ever posted because it was really just for myself. I hardly had any viewers when I first started. A year later, my enthusiasm and dedication grew. I realized what a great opportunity I had in front of me. Eventually, my hard work began to pay off with new followers joining each day.

Junior Anne-Marie showcases one of her favorite beauty looks.

Hillary schmidt Style Editor hjschmidt@smu.edu Anne-Marie Clegg, a junior majoring in advertising and minoring in French and fashion media, is the author of her beauty blog The Beauty Book. When did you start blogging? I started my blog, The Beauty

Book, about two years ago, but I didn’t know how exciting blogging was or that it was turning into such a massive industry. When I started, it was more of an online diary for myself. I wrote about things I loved in the beauty industry, but I just didn’t know how to channel my passion. I was simply a freelance makeup artist that wanted to share her knowledge. Honestly, in the

Describe your blog. My blog is home to product reviews, makeup tutorials and DIY beauty projects. I work with an affiliate website called RewardStyle where I earn commission through the ads that are on the sidebar of the blog. I like to hold myself to a higher standard and ensure that I am only advertising products that I use myself and would recommend to my best girl friends. The goal of my blog is to truthfully inform others and to test products for my subscribers. What is the theme of your blog? I recently changed the design to reflect my personality. I feel like I cannot accurately represent my style with just one word or category. Therefore, I combined classic glamour and femininity with a little edginess.

Hilltop Happenings

I am inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Rihanna, because of their originality and strong sense of style. What is your favorite part about blogging? I like helping people and giving them my insight. I want everyone to realize both their inner and outer beauty. We live in a world today where girls are constantly barraged by negative ad and media messages. I feel like makeup can really enhance a girls’ confidence. Who is your typical reader? I target mostly college women, but all ages read my advice; from teenagers to even women in their 50s. I actually have a lot of middle-aged readers because my followers will tell their mothers about the blog and soon become are some of my most avid readers. How often do you post? I post about once a week, but I am trying to post more often. Sometimes it’s hard with school and a job, but I really enjoy the fulfillment that I get from blogging. How do you go about choosing products to test and feature on your blog?

The beauty gurus and makeup artists on YouTube serve as a great inspiration for me. A lot of them are professional makeup artists and write about products that they have recently used. I really look up to their opinions and like to try out the merchandise they suggest. Sometimes I just walk into a drugstore or department store and find random products to write about. I like to do things out of the ordinary to add more originality to my content. What is the best piece of beauty advice you would give to our readers? First of all, it’s important to know that the beauty industry is not like it used to be. Don’t be afraid to buy products from the drugstore. You may be surprised with the quality you can get when shopping on a budget. There are some products in the drugstore that I think are better than the high-end ones. Another beauty tip I can give is moisturize. It it so important to preserve and refresh the skin. Do you have any projects in relation to your blog? I want to give back to a special woman who gives to her community.

Most bloggers do only product giveaways, but I wanted to do something more meaningful. Where do you see your blog going in a year? I want to have more content on my blog. I should be posting every day, because that’s the best way to earn subscribers. I also want to shoot more video tutorials.

TATE: Ferguson says Washington the problem continued from page 1

The U.S. has benefitted from four growth corridors in recent years. It is in these American regions that jobs are being created and income is growing, he said. Texas led the list of growth regions. What is standing in the way of these corridors expanding across the nation? Ferguson said that the problem lies in our nation’s capitol. “Ultimately, Washington has far more power today than the Founders envisioned,” he said. Ferguson addressed a portion of Secretary of State John Kerry’s meeting in Berlin recently, during which Kerry said that in America, “You have a right to be stupid.” Ferguson looked the audience straight on and gave his most simple and, perhaps, best advice of the night: “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not be stupid.”

in Washington,” McKinnon said. “He worked very closely with the Democratic Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock, they worked in a very bipartisan fashion, and they got a lot done.” McKinnon saw that during Bush’s 2000 Presidential campaign a large part of his message was to change the culture of Washington, which is a message that resonated largely with much of the country. While Bush was a Republican, his message to change the culture was very similar to the one of President Obama, just eight years later. “If you looked at [Obama’s] speeches in 2007, and Bush’s in 1999, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference,” McKinnon said. For those who say the Washington culture does not need change, McKinnon points out that Congress is not the same as it used to be. “People will say listen it’s America, it’s democracy, it’s messy, but you have a hard time convincing me, and if not me

certainly members of Congress like Olympia Snow or other people who have left the Senate or the U.S. Congress after being there for 20, 30 years and they will say that it is absolutely different than 30 years ago,” McKinnon said. It’s not just politics that are becoming more partisan, but the country as well. One of the main factors for this is the growth of technology. “Technology has allowed the means to assimilate, no longer just geographically, but electronically with people that think and act alike,” McKinnon said. The moment McKinnon realized something needed to change was during a State of the Union address. “There was a moment for me when President Obama was giving a State of the Union speech and a member of Congress yelled out at him, ‘liar’. And I just said, wow. That was too much for me,” McKinnon said. “The system has evolved to a point where it rewards bad behavior and punishes good behavior.” This seemingly skewed system

Spanish club heats up with fresh start The smell of sweet plantains and arroz con leche to the rhythm of Cuban salsa and snippets of Spanish attracted a dozen or so people to the promenades of Hughes-Trigg Student Center just to catch a glimpse of the Latin infusion Thursday night before spring break. ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ was playing, marking the first public event for the Spanish club. It featured a famous Cuban band, their music and how they came together and formed their band. Much like the ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ band Kalindi Dinoffer, Gwen Carris, Ricky Mouser, Matthew Cody, Kelly Kiser, Guido Arcella, Patrick Doucette and Sharnell Robinson, all SMU students, with Angie Nozaleda as their faculty advisor, have joined to create a Spanish club on campus. Spanish, the largest world languages department did not have a club on campus. “I’ve felt the need of a Spanish club. We’ve tried several times but this is the first time we have a conjunction of a large group of students that have untied their forces and truly love the culture,” Nozaleda, faculty advisor and SMU professor, said. The group started informally last year with smaller activities with a few students and the current

officers of the club. Most of their activities involved learning how to cook certain Hispanic dishes or watching foreign films. Now the club is trying to grow and has just gotten its probationary charter status. The new organization hopes to get its temporary charter status by the end of the semester. “Let’s start [the club] small, let’s just get the people who are going to be hard workers. Just start small rather than advertising it to everyone and not have it organized and not know who’s who,” Spanish Club President Dinoffer said. Dinoffer had been thinking about a Spanish club since she came to SMU two years ago. She met and discussed the idea with friends while studying abroad in Spain last year. Nozaleda, her professor at the time, saw her enthusiasm with the idea and decided to help her and spread the word to students in her other classes. “I want a balance and I feel like it’s a club that’s needed for the appreciation of the language and culture and that’s where we can get together on,” Cody, social affairs officer, said. The club strives to unite native speakers with students who are learning the language in many ways, especially through community service. Doucette, one of the community service officers, explained that the club not only wants to learn and practice the language but it has a

big emphasis on giving back to the Spanish community in Dallas. The club wants to work with the after school program at Heart House helping Hispanic children. “The club can attend social gatherings [of the Spanish community] and immerse themselves in the culture to better understand it,” Nozaleda said. The club has many plans ahead including volunteering in different countries, tapas night, flamenco dancing and more. The Spanish department at SMU includes teachers from various Spanish speaking countries that teach in diverse subjects such as feminist studies, gender studies, human rights topics and colonial studies. Nozaleda explained that the Spanish club is trying to reflect the same characteristics by not only showing the diversity of the language but also of the cultures. “There’s a wide range of cultures in the Spanish speaking community and we want to highlight the variety that there is and how they are all neat and special in some way,” Doucette said. The Spanish club’s Facebook page received 59 likes in just two days. This supports the ideas of Dinoffer and Cody that SMU students are interested in joining a Spanish club. “Without [the club] on campus students are missing out on an experience they could be having here at SMU,” Cody said.

of punishments and rewards, and the behaviors of many members of Congress, is what spurred a growing frustration among the American people. No Labels had served as the platform for the American people to voice their concern and vehicle change. “It serves as a centrist kind of voice, the idea that the extremes were well represented, but not the middle,” McKinnon said. While No Labels is aimed to get Congress to work together, they are not jumping straight into ideological issues, such as immigration reform or same-sex marriage. Instead they are focusing on the issues that creating paralysis within Congress such as primary reform and campaign

finance reform. “We decided that what the people really want is problem solving,” McKinnon said, “they want a government to act and respond to the problems we’ve got.” The basic idea is to give Congress a work agenda to respond to these problems. “These are mechanical ideas that just make common sense, that if implemented will make Congress work and function,” McKinnon said. One of their first plans of action is ‘No Budget, No Pay.’ “We decided we should propose an incentive, people don’t get paid if they don’t work,” McKinnon said. ‘No Budget, No Pay’ passed in the House and Senate in

January 2013. “We realized how powerful something like this can be and how grassroots organizations can work,” McKinnon said. The next step was to create a No Labels Problem Solvers Coalition. This group would consist of members of Congress who have agreed to work across the aisle and who will work on these big issues. When the coalition was announced in early 2013, 34 Congress members had signed up. That number has risen to 53. To McKinnon, this is improvement, and signs that even Washington may be ready for a change. “As broken and dysfunctional as Washington seems there are some signs that things are shifting,” McKinnon said.

Despite Armstrong’s current predicaments involving the use of performance-enhancing drugs, the museum will still include the gear in the archive. “We are a repository for the materials received during the Bush Presidency,” Lowe said. “[Lance’s] artifacts help create a picture of our nation at that time.” The collection is primarily made up of gifts from Bush’s presidential days, but not entirely. “We do have some gubernatorial artifacts,” Lowe said, “and many items from his post-presidency.” While the opening of the library is April 25, the artifact exhibits will not be open to the public until May 1.

Leggings are not pants This is a magical time of year in North Texas. The nagging winter chill begins to warm, the days slowly become longer, the grass and trees briefly radiate a brilliant green, and for a few weeks we are truly blessed with gorgeous weather (now is a great time to go to the arboretum). But I must digress; ladies, leggings are not pants. I don’t know what they are, but they are definitely not pants. You are afforded so many different options to cover your lower extremities. I don’t have much space to go into detail as to why, so I’ll put it this way. Would you want to see dudes wearing leggings all the time? —Matthew Hare, SMU junior

Bloomberg as American as it gets A Harvard research study has concluded that sugar-sweetened drinks are linked to more than 180,000 obesity-related deaths worldwide each year. It seems like Michael Bloomberg, who banned soft drinks larger than 16 oz. in New York City earlier this year, might not be crazy. While he has been derailed as too interventionist and too “big government,” Mayor Bloomberg’s move follows a framework followed by every American government since the New Deal. When the government identifies a risk to the population — Sudafed purchase limits to curb the mass production of meth and restrictions on the amount of trans fat in food — it has historically stepped in through preventative regulation. Bloomberg might be a progressive, but he’s not an outlier. He’s following a century-old American framework. —Rahfin Faruk, Editor in Chief

Several hundred pro-life supporters gather on the steps of the Alabama Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala., Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Hundreds gathered to hear speakers, including Gov. Robert Bentley, during the 2013 Pro-Life Legislative Day rally.

In the past few weeks, Republican controlled state legislatures have passed new “fetal pain” laws restricting abortions as soon as 6 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy. There is very little doubt that these measures will be struck down by a federal court as unconstitutional under cases like Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. However, in spite of the impending mootness of these laws, I think their passage invites an important conversation about abortion as a moral issue. The dialogue between anti-abortion and pro-choice advocates strikes me as one of the most broken national conversations we have had in recent decades. So let’s get a few things straight: people who believe abortion should be outlawed are not all foot soldiers in a “war on women” hoping to violate fundamental rights to privacy and impose draconian religious codes of morality on the general populace. Likewise, pro-choice advocates are not all child-murdering “feminazis” (it’s a horrible word, but I can’t resist a good portmanteau) out to eradicate religion and force us to use single-sex bathrooms. Additionally, I think we need to take pains to clarify the position of pro-choice advocates. Few of us believe that abortion is fun or should happen frequently. As President Bill Clinton once said, we generally believe abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” For us, it’s a matter of recognizing that abortions will continue to happen regardless of whether or not the law sanctions them, so it’s better to ensure they happen at the hands of a medical professional. Here, I totally understand my opposition’s perspective. From a more Aristotelian perspective, the law is meant to inspire good citizenship and civic virtue. This means that outlawing abortions should teach people that abortion is not favorable. If the goal is to reduce the number of abortions that happen though, I question the notion that simply outlawing the practice will produce the

desired effect. Now, that being said, I do not think it is particularly difficult to get to the heart of this debate. What separates pro-choice and anti-abortion advocates is an incongruent definition of “human life.” To an anti-abortion advocate, the unborn are alive in the same way you are alive as you read this paragraph. Every stage of the pregnancy, from zygote to fetus to birth, involves a living, breathing human being. If a pro-choice advocate were to buy this same definition of life, then yes, termination of a pregnancy at any stage would be senseless. However, to most pro-choice advocates, a fetus is not “alive” until it can support itself outside of the womb. Therefore, at any point before viability, terminating a pregnancy ought to be akin to preventing it medically with birth control. I do not interpret antiabortion legislators as believing that abortion should be outlawed so women can be more easily subjugated and controlled, and I understand their regard for the sanctity of life. But at the same time, the uniquely political nature of reproductive rights should not be ignored. Until the birth control pill about 50 years ago, women had significantly less control over the choice to have a child. In many instances, it simply never was a choice. Moreover, the question of defining what entails human life is a difficult one. If a fetus cannot survive outside of a mother’s womb, is it truly alive? Is it a pulse that makes something alive? The ability to feel pain? Religious people might argue that one becomes a soul at conception, but what of us who do not believe in souls? Is it even possible (or advisable) to propose a positivistic and scientific definition of human life, or must we necessarily depend upon an existential metaphysic? Unfortunately, I don’t think I have an answer, but I think it’s better to be asking these questions than to fling vitriol at one another without considering alternate perspectives.

michael dearman Contributing Writer mdearman@smu.edu We decided to weigh in on the issue of abortion this week, which was a somewhat reluctant choice of topic for the both of us, but the issue is salient and deserves voice. I am skeptical about the productivity of the abortion debate because no common currency of language exists between the two sides. More likely than discussion, antiabortionists and pro-choicers are in a dead sprint toward centers of political power in order to push their agenda into law. My view on abortion is certainly not novel, so I cannot pretend that I have anything to add that will progress arguments on either side. Many philosophers, clergymen and women, activists and journalists have put forth countless arguments and re-arguments into the disorganized mass. Admittedly, I should probably be counted as one of them. For starters, I endorse a view that holds human life as immutably sacred, and I hold a similar view of the potentiality for human life. Recently, North Dakota passed an abortion bill, the most restrictive in the nation, that makes it illegal to procure an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected (that means as early as six weeks). These sorts of bills that try to pin-down, in an explicit way or not, the place where human life begins are thoroughly suspect. Instead, we should be looking at pregnancy as the potentiality for human life. By potentiality, I do not mean the probability that such-and-such an embryo will become a fetus and be carried all the way to term; that would be another numbers game. Without drawing numbers or statistics into the argument, I want to mention briefly that from a naturalistic or a theistic standpoint doing away with the right to an abortion is viable. Whether our goal is to continue the species or to live in line with a God-ordained view

of human life, I think we can come to the same conclusion. However, the latter view ends up with a more sacred and reverential view of human life should the former view a fetus (or an adult human being for that matter) as a bundle of cells and nothing more. A secular humanist sees human flourishing and progress as its ultimate tenet. On such a view, the reproduction and development of human life is essential to the progress of humanity. Future generations must be raised in order to carry on the banner of modernity, progress and Enlightenment, right? This line of reasoning clearly rejects the argument that a mother’s life (barring circumstances of mortal risk to a mother’s life, rape, incest, etc.) is severely hindered, harmed, or stunted from reaching its full potential. However, that is not to say that this is not a women’s issue as well. Many male politicians need to shut-up and bow out of the debate (think “legitimate rape”), though one should not remove men from the conversation entirely. Even if abortion impacts first and foremost, a woman and a zygote, men may still be involved in the decisions of women to get abortions. The last thing we need to do in this case, which everyone seems to be doing, is extending vitriol in every direction instead of meeting others where they are in grace and in love. Anti-abortion groups should stop their angry, hate-fueled rants against women who have at one point in time or another received an abortion. They pretend as if the choice is easy, and it is certainly not. Having personally the stress and the pain that an abortion puts on a woman leads me to wonder why organizations that purport to value life degrade the life of the women. Likewise, I am highly skeptical about how much “good” can come from abortion.

Tina Fey and Paul Rudd’s new comedy, “Admission,” hits theaters on Friday, March 22, 2013.

Tina Fey talks ‘30 Rock,’ new comedy ‘Admission’ Chase wade Staff Writer cdwade@smu.edu We all remember the second semester of our senior year of high school, the time when our futures were decided when we received either a thick or thin envelope in the mail. College admissions is something we all, perhaps painfully so, are familiar with. In Tina Fey and Paul Rudd’s new comedy “Admission,” director Paul Weitz explores the murky waters of Ivy League acceptance while stringing together a charming love story in the process. During the film’s New York press day, the three sat down along with co-star Nat Wolff to touch on the movie’s themes and talk about their own college admission experiences. “I think I just showed up,” Rudd said when asked how he ended up at the University of Kansas, his alma mater. “I must have filled out a form somewhere along the way.” Wolff, who was actually applying to colleges during

ROB

the film’s production, used the coincidence to perfect his skill. “I decided to make all the college fairs I had to go to character research,” Wolff said. “I went up to all of these school’s booths and pretended be this math and science genius and I actually got really close with the guy at MIT. They still call me twice a week.” For Fey, “Admission” marks the comedian’s first completed project after wrapping the seventh, and final, season of her NBC comedy “30 Rock.” “It was a very bittersweet ending,” Fey said. “The fact that we actually knew that it was ending, and not just being cancelled, was nice. That gave us all time to say the proper goodbyes. Actually, we are still moving our junk out of our own offices and the people at ‘Girls’ are moving in.” “Admission” borrows the angelic setting of Princeton University for its collegiate comedy but transitions between the green hills of the campus to Rudd’s organic “learning compound” called the Quest School. Rudd is the experiment’s leader as the school tries to

educate its students through very unorthodox methods. The school’s hippy way reaches a climax when Wolff, Fey and Rudd are forced to help a cow deliver its young, a scene that subsequently affected Wolff ’s life after the cameras shut down. “I actually gave up eating red meat after that scene,” Wolff said. “The production assistant came up to me asking if I wanted a burger after the take and I was like ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’” Even with the comedic chops of Fey and Rudd, “Admission” jumps between being a comedy and drama. Director Paul Weitz claims that the film acts as a commentary on the admission process as a structure. “I really like that these characters are all in the structure, Tina’s is a major part of it while Paul is fighting his way out of it,” Weitz said. “I personally don’t think it matters where you go to college but instead who you come across when you’re there.” “Admission” opens in theaters nationwide this Friday. Come back on Friday to read the review.

Need a book? Sure it’s a drag to be back from spring break, but at least you may be tanner than when you left and the notion that midterms are over can allow you to feel calm. To get back into the schooling mode why not pick up a book? Don’t let leisurely reading become a dying activity. The man behind “A Series of Unfortunate Events” wrote “The Basic Eight” but in this case he didn’t use his pen name of Lemony Snicket. Instead, Daniel Handler, Snicket’s real name, authored the book. This novel would have been a good beach read to flip through during your travel time or even on the beach, but now you don’t have the excuse of choosing jet skiing or heading to the swim-up bar or taking a hot chocolate break from your ninth time down the ski slope. Although “The Basic Eight” was published in 1998, I found myself reading it and finding that it was relevant to my life in that it mocks the traditional English class style of analysis. At the end of each chapter the author places study questions and vocabulary words in a sarcastic tone that can be taken lightly or dramatically depending on your level of academia. The story takes place in San Francisco and centers

on a high school girl named Flannery and her group of eclectic friends. Handler grew up in San Francisco and when asked about how he feels about the cover of his novel (which features his hometown) he said, “I very much like the image on the cover of ‘The Basic Eight,’ although in the United States it appears on the cover of a John O’Hara novel so we can’t use it. “I don’t recognize the skyline, but last night I had a dinner party in which much local cheese, wine and bourbon were consumed, and this morning we’re hurriedly throwing together a Mexican brunch, involving many heirloom tomatoes, which we’re wolfing down before heading on over to an outside music festival.” “That description makes San Francisco sound quite fun indeed,

but I’m prejudiced -- my love for San Francisco is such that I’m always saying, ‘You can’t get this anywhere else but here,’ to which the listener will occasionally reply, ‘That’s Early Grey tea, Daniel. You can get that anywhere.’ Many describe the book’s genre to be a black comedy due to the cynicism featured throughout each chapter. It’s more than just a beach read with strange plot twists and perhaps an unreliable narrator. Critics categorize the novel with other books such as “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky and “Bright Lights, Big City” by Jay McInerney. Handler has written other notable books like “Adverbs: A Novel” and “Why We Broke Up.”

Team prepares for the national tournament after third-place finish Caty Welch Staff Writer cwelch@smu.edu The SMU women’s swim team begins the NCAA National Championships Thursday March 21 after placing third in the Conference USA Championships with 664.50 points from several strong contributors. At the C-USA Championships women’s swimmer Isabella Arcila won swimmer of the meet marking the fourth season in a row that an SMU swimmer

has won the prestigious award. The women’s team brought in multiple golds at the meet. Isabella Arcila finished the 200yard backstroke with a time of 1:55.86 and Rachel Nicol finished first in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:11.00. Finishing in 49.14 seconds, sophomore Nathalie Lindborg earned first place in the 100-yard freestyle. The women’s 400-yard freestyle relay team, including Arcila, Monika Babok, Nina Rangelova and Emily Vavourakis, also won first place with a final time of 3:18.62.

Nina Rangelova finished second by just one-hundredth of a second in the 100-yard freestyle at 49.15. Deanna Matthews placed second in the 200-yard backstroke at 1:57.54. In third place, Anna Volchkov clocked in at 1:58.75 in the 200-yard backstroke and Danielle Villars at 1:59.47 in the 200-yard butterfly. The Mustangs will hope to keep their success going in Indianapolis, this coming Thursday, starting at 11 a.m against a deep field in the national championships.

SMU hopes to end great season on high note in the women’s NIT matthew costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu Though the disappointment of not earning a berth in the NCAA tournament still lingers over the team, SMU (21-9, 12-4 C-USA) has accepted its automatic bid to play in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The Mustangs will travel north to meet with the Bowling Green State Falcons in Bowling Green, Ohio Thursday night. The Falcons are a dangerous group that earned a 22-10 record through the course of the season, and an 11-5 conference record versus fellow Mid-American Conference foes. SMU will be entering into its 18th postseason tournament,

and its fifth appearance in the WNIT with a record of 2-4 in the previous showings. Newly crowned Conference USA player of the year Keena Mays and the rest of SMU’s squad will need to be at their best against the Falcons’ defense averaging only 54 points allowed per contest. Bowling Green State is led by senior guard Chrissy Steffen’s 11.3 points to go along with her 4.5 rebounds per outing. Steffen is complimented by junior forward Alexis Rogers, the team’s leading rebounder at six per game and 10.7 points. Mays will definitely need to bring her midseason form to the tournament. The junior transfer was second in C-USA with 19.3 points and nearly four assists a

game, but as the season progressed, Mays’ hot start became a tough act to follow. Although the Mustangs began conference play well, winning their first nine games in a row, they finished with a 3-4 mark, and were upset in the first round of the C-USA tournament by the Central Florida Golden Knights. The loss all but destroyed any hopes for the regular season conference champions to go to the bigger tournament, but if Mays and the offense can produce against a tough Bowling Green State squad, they should survive and advance to the round of 32. If SMU wins on Thursday night, they will play either Akron or Duquesne on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

SMU’s women’s tennis team returns home to Dallas Thursday for a one match home-stand against the Columbia Lions. The Mustangs have won their last two matches and eight of their last ten overall. The women will be the favorite heading into this matchup coming in ranked 48th in the nation while Columbia is not ranked. SMU will look to rely once again on their doubles team that scored them such success in their last matchup and has been a large part of the team’s

winning ways over the course of the year. The Mustangs enter the meet with a 9-5 record but have really come on strong as of late. The Lions will not be pushovers however; despite not being ranked they have won their last three matches also and come in with a 7-3 record on the year. A big key in beating Columbia is defeating the top of its lineup. The top of its singles and the top of its doubles are extremely potent, all having records well above .500. The biggest test of the meet is sure to be Nicole Bartnik and Crystal Leung in doubles as they

have a 9-3 record on the year and have won four meets in a row. Columbia will be an interesting matchup considering how strong the top of both team’s lineups are. Whichever team wins this matchup will likely end up winning the meet overall. This meet also comes at a key time for the Mustangs as they do not have many chances at home left in the year but while they have been in the friendly confines of Dallas have been an extremely strong team. SMU will hope to continue its winning ways when the meet begins at 4 p.m. central time in Dallas on Thursday.
