Robert Mong addresses the future of the “Dallas Morning News”

“Who We Be” author Jeff Chang discusses America’s multicultural and race relations

Sissy Dreyer Contributing Writer smdreyer@smu.edu The editor of the Dallas Morning News, Robert Mong, lectured to a retired faculty group Tuesday, March 17. The event, The Dallas Morning Newss is faring better than you may think, but still fighting for its survival,” took place in the Meadows Museum.

Mong discussed the future of the Dallas Morning News, especially the struggles in moving forward as the Internet replaces the newspaper industry.

For 36 years, Mong has worked for the Dallas Morning News, but will retire this year. Mong began his career with the paper in 1979 as an assistant city editor, and in 2001 starting serving as the editor.

During his time, the Dallas Morning News won nine Pulitzer Prizes.

Not only does Mong use his journalistic skills in his profession, but also for social service. Mong received the national Empathy Award from Volunteers of America in 2004, which acknowledges his work encouraging journalism skills that assist communities in becoming better places.

Mong opened the lecture with Winston Churchill’s famous quote: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

Although Churchill’s circumstance was very different, Mong used the quote to show how the Dallas Morning News is changing its methods in order to survive.

“A good newspaper is a public trust”, said Mong, speaking of the paper’s

dedication to their work and readers.

Amongst the digital revolution, the Dallas Morning News has been in survival mode for the last few years. Yet, the Dallas Morning News is not withering away by any means, by actively trying to reinvent its business model.

Mong explains how over the last few years, the Dallas Morning News has made major changes in order to keep their legacy.

Some of these changes have included staff cuts, closings in certain city bureaus, and an increase in subscription costs.

With print revenues declining, digital ads are not enough to support the paper.

Mong also mentioned the efforts that the Dallas Morning News is making to grow a digital presence by creating mobile apps and video production.

The Dallas Morning News has expanded by starting and buying companies to stay afloat. These companies cover a variety of topics, which help the Dallas Morning News reach a broader audience, especially a younger generation.

The Dallas Morning News has created Al Dia, a Spanish language newspaper serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Area, an events division for the paper called CrowdSource, a craft beer and cocktails blog, and revamped FD Magazine.

Mong concluded the lecture by reverting back to the Churchill quote.

Amongst all these changes at the Dallas Morning News, it is the most stable it has been in years.

The Dallas Morning News holds an importance in legacy media; especially in Texas, and despite all these changes, it has remained true to its values.

rebecca ragsdale Contributing Writer rragsdale@smu.edu About 80 SMU students, faculty and members of the public attended a discussion on award-winning author Jeff Chang’s newest book “Who We Be: The Colorization of America.” The assembly was held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 in the Forum of the Hughes Trigg Student Center on campus.

The lecture, sponsored by SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts, the Embrey Human Rights Program and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, covered the major points of “Who We Be” and how multiculturalism and race have affected America and our relationships with one another.

Attendees were also encouraged to livetweet during the event, using the hash tags #WhoWeBeSMU and #WhoWeBeDallas.

“These are serious times,” said Chang.

“We’re in a war over culture.”

Chang takes a different approach than most writers by incorporating visual pieces from various artists in his work. Some of these consist of civil rights-related comics, advertisements and the covers of magazines. The visuals also depicted during the lecture included quotes and pictures of several influential civil rights activists and intellectuals such as Ralph Ellison, Cornel West, Michelle Wallace and Martin Luther King Jr. SMU first-year Brigid O’Leary came away from Chang’s presentation with a better understanding of his book and why racial progression is crucial for American society.

“He [Chang] was getting people to focus on how much we have changed and how far we have left to go,” said O’Leary.

Chang, the Executive Director of the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford University, has also written works such as “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation” and “Total Chaos: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop.” Additionally, he was awarded the American Book Award, the Asian American Literary Award, and the North Star News Prize for his writing.

Overall, Chang emphasized that America isn’t just made up of one culture and that multiculturalism is continuously emerging.

We can either pretend that other cultures don’t exist, or we can accept everyone’s practices and traditions.

“It comes down to this question: How do we see race?” said Chang. “Help us move toward racial justice, toward racial peace.”

Seniors’ SMU careers end in Louisville demetrio teniente Sports Editor @Demo36

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – SMU’s 60-59 loss not only ended the Mustangs NCAA Tournament run, but it also signaled the end of Ryan Manuel, Cannen Cunningham, Kevin Dunleavy, Jean-Michael Mudiay, and Yanick Moreira’s time on the Hilltop.

“It’s been a special year, but it always hurts if you go out like this,” Manuel said. “Hopefully the guys coming back next year can do the same thing, but go further than we

did this year. I love everybody on this team.”

In the final seconds of the game, UCLA’s Bryce Alford shot a fade away three-pointer over SMU’s Markus Kennedy. The shot was off the mark, but Yanick Moriera was called for goaltending and the three points counted for UCLA. The Mustangs would have two attempts to win the game, but Nic Moore missed both shots.

“It’s all my fault,” Moreira said.

“I should have let the ball hit the rim. I take the blame on myself. I shouldn’t have made that mistake.

As a senior” – his voice cracks –

“you can’t make those mistakes at the end of the game.”

Moreia’s teammates won’t let the senior shoulder the loss on his own. Cunningham turned the ball over on the play that led to Alford’s three points.

“I feel like I let my team down,” he said. “These guys are my brothers- they’re my family. It’s a tough one.”

But sophomore guard Sterling Brown doesn’t want his teammates to beat themselves up or get hung up on one play.

“It aint all [Moreira],” Brown said. “We all make mistakes on

this team. Every single person.

So, it’s all on us. It’s not just all one person. One person didn’t win the game and one person didn’t lose the game.”

Even though SMU fell short in the tournament, they were the first group of Mustangs to make the NCAA Tournament in 22 years and SMU’s senior class was a big reason they did.

“I’m so proud of this team for the past two years,” Moreira said.

“I just wish I had another year to stay with them. I hope these guys keep fighting and come back here again next year.”

Students celebrate rise in school spirit at SMU vs. UCLA watch party CLAIRE KELLEY Interactive Editor cakelley@smu.edu SMU lost to UCLA Thursday afternoon by a devastating one point. Whether you blame poor playing in the first half or that questionable goaltending call in the last few seconds, you’re probably mourning the loss of our team’s chance at NCAA triumph.

But before tragedy struck, the atmosphere at the Barley House watch party was on fire. The

venue was filled to the brim with fans clad in school colors. During the team’s brief comeback in the second half, fans shouted and jumped with beers in hand. They chanted, “S-M-U,” and “Defense,” during lulls in the game.

Senior and Student Body Vice President Monica Finnegan is grateful for the change she’s seen in school spirit during her time on the Hilltop.

“Comparing our school spirit levels to four years ago when I was just a freshman, it’s awesome

to rally behind Larry and the team,” said Finnegan. “Seeing people wanting to go to games, wearing T-shirts, saying pony up, valuing SMU, it really brings the community together.”

For senior accounting major Liz Crowell, this kind of school pride is what she’s been looking for in a college experience.

“It’s very much the quintessential college bar experience,” she said. “It makes me proud to be a Mustang. This is why you come to college.”

dance, just as quickly as it had begun, was over.

“It’s all my fault,” Yanick said. “I should have let the ball hit the rim. I take the blame on myself. I shouldn’t have made that mistake. As a senior” – his voice cracks – “you can’t make those mistakes at the end of the game.”

For a play to result in a goaltend, the ball must be “on its downward flight” and have “the possibility, while in flight, of entering the basket.” However, goaltending is not a reviewable play. When the officials went to the scorers table, they decided whether Alford made a two or a

three-point shot.

Alford, a sophomore from Albuquerque, NM., led the Bruins with 27 points. Every shot he made, was three. And to him, goaltending was the right call.

“I had a pretty good look at it because I shot it,” Bryce Alford says. “From my angle, I saw [Looney] and another player going after it, and I was confused because he went up and grabbed it on its way to the rim. I don’t know if it would have gone in or not, but he definitely grabbed it on the way.”

Thursday saw, SMU get off to another slow start and UCLA took a 34-30 lead into the second half. However, after a stagnant start to the second half, SMU put together a 19-0 run to take a

nine point lead with 4:34 left in the game. The Bruins responded with a 16-4 run to close out the game.

It was a tough game. It was a battle. Both teams had control of the game at one point and both surrendered that control too. However, this game will be remembered for the goaltending call – whether it was right or wrong.

“That’s kinda heartbreaking.”

SMU head coach Larry Brown says. “It’s not crying over spilled milk, but why would you have all these TV people here and take five seconds to review a goaltending? It might have been goaltending. It probably was.

But we’ve got all these cameras.

It happened so fast. I never saw a game end like that.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Dallas sports fans might be familiar with late-game goaltending controversies.

In a game on April 1, 2014, Warriors center Jermaine O’Neal blocked Mavericks guard Mona Ellis’ floater with 16 second left in overtime and the score tied at 120.

Two passes later, Steph Curry hit a game-winner with a tenth of a second left.

An irate Mark Cuban jumped up and argued with the referees that O’Neal should have been called for goaltending because Ellis’ shot was on it’s way down.

Well, the next day, the NBA reviewed the play and said goaltending should have been called.

The loss temporarily knocked the Mavs out of the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference.

But the game-deciding goaltending call that will live in Dallas sports infamy happened in the opening round of the NCAA tournament to Dallas’ new basketball power.

With 13 seconds left and SMU up 59-57, Yanick Moreira goaltended Bryce Alford’s three-point attempt.

It gave UCLA a 60-59 lead.

SMU had one last possession, but Nic Moore’s two jump shots didn’t fall. That was it. The Bruins pulled the upset.

The SMU players couldn’t believe it.

Markus Kennedy threw a mouthpiece in disgust as a sad look took over him.

Sterling Brown walked off with the court with his jersey covering everything up to his eyes.

Moreria was the last one off the court, trudging with a sad look on his face.

Many of the fans in the SMU section behind the bench stood in awe for a few minutes after the final buzzer.

To say the least, the call set off a firestorm on Twitter, on television and among college basketball fans.

He hit the rim first. He didn’t hit the rim first. The ball would not have touched the rim. The ball would have

touched the rim.

Your opinion probably differs from that of the person next to you in class or in front of you in the Starbucks line.

It’s one of those calls that will probably never be fully resolved, at least among fans.

But everyone should be able to agree on a couple things: Moreira is not to blame for the loss.

And that call isn’t why SMU lost the game. Sure, he’s had issues with goaltending this season. And he probably shouldn’t have been in the vicinity of Alford’s off-balance, low-percentage shot.

Anyway, that’s beside the point. Let’s back up and consider the situation. The game may have come down to the “last play,” like so many other NCAA tournament games do.

But then again, did it really?

I don’t think so. Because that play isn’t the true reason SMU lost.

The Mustangs led by seven points with 1:26 left after a Ryan Manuel dunk. Those were the last points they would score.

In the last 30 seconds, Sterling Brown committed a foul that let UCLA score with the clock stopped, and Cannen Cunningham’s off-target pass to Ryan Manuel ended up in UCLA center Thomas Welsh’s hands.

To top it off, SMU shot 36 percent from the floor, had one field goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half and made 12 of 20 free throw attempts.

The odds of winning an NCAA tournament game with those numbers and those mistakes aren’t very high.

I hate to play the “what if ” game, but without those mistakes, the game doesn’t come down to a goaltending call.

I’m not the only one who thinks so.

“We just did some good things that good teams don’t do down the stretch, and they did some great things,” SMU head coach Larry Brown said.

However, in a somber postgame press conference, Moreira expressed his displeasure with himself, hugged Brown and walked out of the press conference room for the final time as a Mustang.

“It’s all my fault. I should have let the ball hit the rim,” Moreira said, fighting tears.

“I take the blame on myself.

I shouldn’t have made that mistake. As a senior, you can’t make those mistakes at the end of the game.”

Media members are supposed to be neutral. But that was the toughest moment I’ve ever had to cover.

I couldn’t help but feel sad, both as a media member and an SMU student.

A senior who’d given his all to his team has his career end with that play.

It’s hard to not feel for him, especially when he didn’t have to say that, because it’s not his fault.

This game hurts you, maybe more than any other, as a player and fan.

It’s the tough reality. There are countless examples of it every March. March Madness giveth, March Madness taketh away.

But for every hurtful moment basketball brings, there is also a happy one. Maybe not in this game, but over the course of the season, there are plenty.

You were probably riding high just five days ago when SMU earned its first conference title in 27 years.

Remember that blowout of UConn when College GameDay came? And that blowout win over Houston when Nic Moore tied a school record with eight made threepointers? That’s just naming a few, and many more should be on the way. Moreira will see to that.

“I see we have a lot of potential,” Moreira said.

“I’m going to be there the whole summer, I’m going to work with them and going to make sure they get a chance to go again.”

Heartbreaking ending aside, it’s been a special season, especially for those Mustang maniacs who have waited a long time for a season like this.

SMU accomplished things that haven’t been accomplished in a long time and proved it is here to stay.

This loss will sting, but just as you should look beyond the goaltending call, look beyond today and you’ll remember that it’s still great to be a Mustang.

FRIDAY n MARCH 20, 2015 film

entertainment

‘Insurgent’ is... interesting blair croce Arts and Entertainment Editor bcroce@smu.edu If we were living in the year 1975, the anticipated film of the month would center on a really overambitious shark perusing the shore for people to eat whole (uplifting stuff I know). If you have been living under a rock or just generally don’t enjoy watching a film about a snarky shark, I am referring to the acclaimed hit “Jaws,” which took the film industry by storm in the 70s.

However, today our choice of blockbuster content has nothing to do with a sea creature but everything to do with the teenage realm of dystopia. The last few years have produced one dystopian blockbuster after another. And today another one hits theaters: the “Divergent” sequel “Insurgent.”

To be honest, I wasn’t particularly jumping up and down to see “Insurgent” this past Monday.

I went into the theater thinking I was in for a two-hour repeat of the other dystopian films in popular culture. Turns out, I wasn’t right.

But I wasn’t wrong either.

“Insurgent,” the second installment in the “Divergent” trilogy, picks up where the last film left off with Tris (Shailene Woodley), Four (Theo James), Peter (Miles Teller) and Caleb (Ansel Elgort) trying to hide from the evil dictator Jeanine (Kate Winslet) after their tumultuous encounter with her in the previous film. The film then follows Four and Tris on their journey to defeat Jeanine and their interactions with enemies and friends.

Ultimately, Tris and Four have two missions: to recapture Tris’ mother’s mysterious possession and to protect each other (because

they are in love. Of course). There’s some good ol’ cinematic betrayal, grandiose fight scenes, young (and censored) love, and just a lot of “the world is in danger” chaotic content.

So yes, this movie has many similarities to movies like “The Maze Runner” and the “Hunger Games” films. And yes, I was bored for parts. But there were some good performances, plot twists, and technical elements, which partially redeemed “Insurgent” from being completely forgettable.

First of all, “Insurgent” boasts a cast of some of the most popular young and older actors of our generation. Seasoned Kate Winslet and Naomi Watts (who plays Four’s mysterious acquaintance) contribute significantly to the film’s credibility and kick the whole story up a notch. Minus Jennifer Lawrence, “Insurgent” has about every skilled, young actor in show business today.

There’s Miles Teller who just gave a jaw-dropping performance in “Whiplash.” There’s Ansel Elgort who gave a breakout performance in the teen hit “The Fault in Our Stars.” There’s Shailene Woodley who gave a spectacular performance in “The Descendants.” And there’s Theo James who hasn’t reached the status of the others but has the abs and smile to reach young adults everywhere.

Now, parts of this movie were highly confusing and slightly awkward to watch considering Shailene Woodley has played opposite Miles Teller and Ansel Elgort in romantic films before. So in “Insurgent,” Elgort is her brother but in “The Fault in Our Stars” she’s making out with him. And in “Insurget,” Teller is Shailene’s buddy, but in “Spectacular Now,” she’s having sex with him.

That’s a lot to work through on

a Monday night, folks.

Nevertheless, James and Woodley still managed to get their brief onscreen make out moment, which was the part of the film where I felt James did his best work (you can ask the other women in the theater for confirmation).

Ironically, there was more sexual tension in these steamy five seconds than in the entire “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie (if you are wondering, I’m still scarred. #neverforget. Also, I don’t think I can use a hashtag here. Well, #yolo). Incestuous issues aside (though I’m still a little concerned), the cast wasn’t the film’s problem, the plot was.

Though “Insurgent” had some debatably interesting plot twists, it took quite some time for them to unfold. Not that I don’t enjoy watching Theo James (and Shailene Woodley I guess) beat various people up for two hours, I just needed them to do it a little faster.

The conclusion partially redeemed the preceding two hours, but the whole movie needed to speed it up a bit to keep me (an easily distracted spaz) interested for that amount of time (SQUIRREL!).

In the end, “Insurgent” did manage to exceed my low hopes for the film but failed to reach the level of entertainment and originality in the “Hunger Games” films.

Will this movie make an ungodly amount of money? Yes. Will Theo James and Shailene Woodley melt the hearts of teenagers everywhere with their dystopian love affair?

Yes. Is “Insurgent” worth your time? Maybe.

Considering deep down we love fighting, hot young people, and the threat of world destruction, you might as well indulge yourself and see “Insurgent,” because #yolo.

Shoot, I did it again.

Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers entertained the crowd on Wednesday night at Poor David’s Pub.

Joe Hertler and band dominate Dallas blair croce Arts and Entertainment Editor bcroce@smu.edu My love language isn’t words of affirmation, touch, acts of service, quality time, or gifts. It’s music.

And I know I’m not alone.

Even though there are more music artists in this world than any one person could ever hear, there’s a level of presence, passion, and performance that a lot of musicians never reach. Those that do channel this artistic vulnerability shine whether they play in a tiny venue or headline an amphitheater tour.

Wednesday night at Poor David’s Pub, one band came through Dallas that fits this description. I am now a proud fan of Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers. A brilliantly eclectic blend of musicians from Michigan, Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers certainly know how to light up a room. Literally.

Clad in off-the-wall costumes, Joe Hertler and his colorful comrades played tunes off their newest album “Terra Incognita” nearly to perfection. With a full band backing him (including an insanely funky saxophone player).

Hertler led the way with his smooth vocals and catchy grooves (and dance moves. Go head wit yo bad self). My personal favorite jams performed were “Feel” and “River Runs Dry,” which are both on their newest record.

By the time their set was coming to a close, the crowd had kicked aside their chairs and started breaking out some dance movies as well. The band displayed a degree of chemistry and synergy that I honestly haven’t come across in quite some time. And they did it all with huge smiles on their faces. That perhaps was the most refreshing and impressive part of the their performance.

Prior to Hertler’s set, Yokochi Bare, comprised of some gifted SMU musicians warmed the crowd up with some of their original tracks (make sure to give them a listen on soundcloud). Before he took the stage, Hertler was kind enough to answer a few of my questions. Check out this Q&A… The DC: Now, you just started your tour for this new album.

What’s it like travelling on the road so far?

Hertler: “It’s been great. This half just started, so we got to go home for a week and rest up. The first half was awesome. I think we kind of felt like ‘oh wow. We can actually do this. We can get along and keep getting better each night too.’ To keep practicing always feels good. This is only our fourth show of this half, so it’s pretty fresh right now. We learned a lot on that last chunk and are trying to apply that on this one. In particular, we learned about taking care of your body. For me, a lot of has been trying to keep my voice healthy.

This is our first time in Dallas though, so we are looking forward to trying it out for the first time!”

The DC: Is there a certain song off the new album that the crowd is really responding to?

Hertler: “It’s different every night. So much of our performances come down to how we connect with our audience. That’s kind of the point of music, you know, just trying to communicate and connect with people. I used to feel a lot of pressure to play funkier, highenergy stuff, but one thing I’ve realized on the tour is that it doesn’t really matter if the connection is there. Any song can be the one that really draws people in. In general,

it’s going to happen with the more pop-like stuff that we jam out to a little more at the end. But there has been some really great moments in this tour of slower songs that feel really engaging.”

The DC: Is there a song for you that you connect to the most off the new record?

Hertler: “I’ve always loved playing ‘River Runs Dry.’ That’s a really fun song and a song called ‘Dragons’ as well, a slower song that doesn’t always hit but when it does, it’s a good experience for us.”

The DC: So far, do you like the touring side better or the recording process?

Hertler: “I like writing music.

The studio is the second place for me. I mean, touring is great, but I like the moment of writing a song when it feels like you are making something good. Touring is great, but it is exhausting. Some bands do it nine months out of the year, and that doesn’t sound like fun to me at all.”

The DC: Do you have any plans for after the tour?

Hertler: “I really want to work on music. The thing about touring is that it kicks you into this creative mode, but you don’t really have a chance to write it down. I’ve just been collecting ideas and keeping a journal to jot stuff down. I’m just looking forward to organizing these ideas more and flushing them out into new songs.”

At the end of the night, I left the venue overwhelmingly happy because of music. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Madonna’s new album “Rebel Heart” was beat on the charts by a TV soundtrack.

Friday top five with Amy amy cooley Contributing Writer acooley@smu.edu Happy Friday, Mustangs.

Here are my picks for the top moments in the entertainment world for the week: 1. Disney’s “Cinderella” came out this past weekend—a live action remake of the classic fairytale we all grew up loving— and, of course, took the number one spot in the box office. Every little girl in the world must be begging her parents to take her to see it, if not for Cinderella herself then for the animated short before the film, “Frozen Fever.” I swear Anna and Elsa are taking over the world.

Anyway, the film came out with $70 million in the opening weekend, followed by “Run All Night,” the new action flick starring Liam Neeson, earning only $11 million. Sorry guys, you just can’t compete with princesses.

2. More from Disney because they just don’t stop.

The production of “Toy Story 4” has been announced and

will be released in 2017. Really, another one? Sometimes you have to know when to stop and let a good ending be a good ending.

However, I was less peeved when I heard that they ARE letting a good ending be a good ending. Supposedly, this fourth movie in the series will have nothing to do with the original trilogy and won’t even focus on the relationships between the toys and the kids. “Toy Story 4” will instead be a love story or a romantic comedy of sorts.

I’m not so sure how I feel about it, but we’ll see how it goes.

3. If anyone out there is a big fan of E!’s TV show “Fashion Police,” then I have bad news for you because the show is going on hiatus.

It hasn’t had the easiest time these past few months, as the show’s main host and icon Joan Rivers suddenly passed away. Since then, co-hosts Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin have also publicly announced that they are leaving the show.

The network is cutting the remainder of the shows left in the spring and has said that

“Fashion Police” will return at some point in the fall.

4. Is Madonna losing her touch? The legendary singer’s new album “Rebel Heart” was beat out on the Billboard 200 by the debut of the soundtrack to Fox’s hit TV series “Empire.”

I, for one, had no clue that the show was so popular, let alone the music from it, but it must be in order to sell more copies than THE Madonna.

5. If you’re anything like me, you must be devastated that TLC cancelled “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” but don’t worry because Mama June might be making her television comeback.

The 35-year-old has been seen working out with Natasha Kufa, a celebrity trainer, and reportedly has her sights set on becoming a contestant on “The Biggest Loser.”

Maybe she’s really doing this for her health after a life of “sketti” eating and “go go juice” drinking, or maybe she’s just doing this for the money. Either way, best of luck to you, Mama June. You keep doing you.

OPINION

transparency

Five truths about guys that girls need to know

Courtesy of AP

White House press secretary Josh Earnest reporting his daily news briefs.

President Obama and Sunshine Week: the public’s right to know Despite the recent cloudy days in Dallas, Sunshine Week shined across the nation. Promoting an open government, Sunshine Week celebrates the right to know and access public information. The organization aims to educate the public on the importance of an open government and the risk of unnecessary secrecy.

The Obama Administration decided to celebrate this week in transparency by exempting the executive office from record requests. Oh, the irony. Obama’s administration aims to be the most transparent one in history, expressing their important goal on the official White House website, “My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.”

The Freedom of Information Act enables the public to view full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents by the U.S. government.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest identified the change as a cleanup of outdated regulations. He referenced the U.S. Court of Appeals’ decision that the FOIA fails to classify the Office of Administration as an agency under its statute.

Earnest said, “It has no impact at all on the policy that we have maintained from the beginning to comply with the Freedom of Information Act when it’s appropriate.”

Technically the White House lies in the right, but the entire affair gives off an unwavering sense of bad faith.

Obama’s refusal to release documents goes back on his promise in 2008, “Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” MerriamWebster defines touchstone as something that is used to make judgments about other things; one may conclude that President Obama’s lack of transparency speaks for his lack of faithful presidency.

But the administration’s decision arrived at the worse time, in the middle of Sunshine Week. Sunshine Week is a week where new organizations and watchdog groups highlight issues of government transparency.

Obama’s actions were almost like a slap in the face.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington criticized the Obama administration for its decision, saying it reversed a decades-long practice of opening

office files to the public. Generally, those who seek information get it unless disclosure would hurt national security, violate personal privacy or expose business secrets or confidential decision-making in certain areas.

But I’m confident that if anybody else sat behind the President’s desk, they’d do the same as President Obama now.

Despite the endless criticisms, the White House knows what it’s doing. And to those who beg to differ, remember that you either voted for him, voted for the other candidate, or you failed to vote at all, in which case you can’t complain.

No presidency is perfect. Transparency represents an important issue, but running the government is a complex process; nuances exist throughout every level of the government. People make mistakes and often the nation blames those mistakes on the face of the United States.

President Obama and those who assist him in running the White House represent possibly the smartest and creative characters in the nation. If they believe that releasing certain documents would hurt either the administration’s reputation or the United States’, then they have every right and the duty to guard that information.

Live by the age-old, cliché adage: be the change you wish to see. So if you want a more transparent government, run for office and make it your mission to accomplish that.

PARTICIPATION

Students should vote in upcoming election In the 2012 presidential election, 23 million Americans under the age of 30 voted to represent their say in the U.S. Government, according to a study by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.

At SMU, the 2014 Student Senate Student Body Officer election drew a turnout of just less than 20 percent of the student population, both graduate and undergraduate.

Both of these statistics display that many students do not live up to their duty as a member of the community to speak out and vote for what they believe in. But mostly importantly, these numbers show the missed opportunity for Mustangs to choose who represents their interests.

The trend in low voting numbers for student body officer and senator elections has been consistent over the past few years.

This is unfortunate, as student senators make key decisions including allocating funds from student fees, implementing

changes in the undergraduate curriculum, and organizing social reforms each year; decisions that impact daily life for students on and off our campus. With nearly 50 senators working on behalf of academic schools and special interest populations, the Student Senate aims to represent the entirety of the student body when making these decisive pieces of legislation.

The individuals you elect are intended to represent you, the constituent. They represent students who spend their nights in the SAMSA or Fondren, they represent graduate students, first years, transfers, commuters, minorities and all those in between.

They are the voice with which the student body communicates with administrators and make changes to push SMU to be the best version of itself.

Every person on campus serves a purpose and contributes to the university in a specific way. This institution cannot run without the support and efforts of students. The ability to vote in Student Senate elections is a right and privilege to every student that walks onto this campus. But, without a clear direction from any sort of voting majority, the Student Senate cannot effectively meet the needs of the community as a whole.

In just under two weeks, you will have the chance, once more, to have your voice heard. You will have the chance to make a difference in your future at SMU by voting for your representative on Student Senate. On April 1st and 2nd I encourage every Mustang to vote online at smu.edu/elections to exercise your right to have a stake in how our University is run.

Girls often find themselves wasting their nights trying to decipher every vague motion committed by a guy, pondering the deeper meaning behind all of his actions and words. Ladies, don’t complicate the issue because for every ambivalent act made by men lies a simple and clear reason.

Drop the Rosetta Stone, delete your men translator app, and prepare for a mind-blowing journey into the minimalistic thoughts of men.

1. We’re your father.

intimidated

by

We know you’re a daddy’s girl and that’s exactly what scares us.

Girls can talk about how kind and sincere their fathers are all day, but when guys confront the patriarch we’ll shrivel like dried grapes and end up in a fetal position.

Compared to meeting your oh so lovely dad, our manhood would shrivel less if we streaked through a blizzard in the middle of winter.

For out-of-state guys dating a Texas girl, don’t spaz out, but ya’ll are already married. You absolutely do not mess with Texas girls because 99 percent of their fathers have guns, the remaining 1 percent will buy one, and 100 percent of fathers will be more than happy to use it. Be warned, you’ll see a threatening shotgun proudly displayed in your girl’s home and their dad will tell you it’s only for decoration.

But girls, don’t worry about your father chasing us away because that would upset you, in turn upsetting your father, and lead to our deaths.

through its stalls: always leave a space between you and the other gentlemen. Ask a guy about his most embarrassing moment in the bathroom and he’ll never tell you because of the sheer awkwardness of sharing the story.

I’ll try to shake off my shivers.

In a sense, guys learn the hard way to keep our eyes on the target and not on another soldier’s weapon. An immense pressure of awkwardness falls on our shoulders when two men are tall enough to see over the stalls or urinal dividers, or lack thereof. So we stare intently at the blank wall pretending that we clearly can’t see each other doing our business.

Always leave a space between two men or it’s checkmate.

3. The ultimate sacrifice.

Girls are the biggest mysteries.

One that most men would sacrifice their most prized possession to solve. Our deal with the devil, the ultimate sacrifice: guys would trade their left nut to read a girl’s mind for a day. Not an exaggeration, maybe even an understatement. Questions about whether girls like us or what they want for their birthday drive guys crazy.

4. “I can fix that.”

2. Bathroom checkmates.

No, we don’t play chess in the bathroom. But in every men’s restroom, an unspoken rule echoes

“Holes’” Sam started this stereotype that men can fix anything, Noah building Allie’s dream house in “The Notbook”

perpetuated this stigma, and now men everywhere must live up to the standards of these movies’ men.

But we really can fix anything.

Don’t call the plumber, don’t doubt our abilities to fix the sink, and certainly don’t tell us we can’t do it. We can fix everything even if it appears we don’t have a clue where to begin. A sense of pride and ability to provide drives us.

Speaking of driving, we know where we’re going even if we’ve strayed from the main route. We couldn’t care less if we’re driving, guys will look at the map. And if you think a girl’s phone gives good directions, a guy’s phone will give better ones. A little off track but that’s okay, I know where I’m going with this: Pride before beauty.

5. Guys overthink too.

Aye, she winked at me or did she blink? Rachel followed me on Instagram; she so wants me, right?

Merely two of the myriad questions we wonder about.

Girls are guys’ weakness and we want to make a perfect impression everyday. So if a guy trips, snorts, or does something stupid in front of a girl, he will think about it for the next year or whenever he talks to her again.

The secret’s out. We care even if we say we don’t.

Girls, ya’ll finally have the answers to the questions about men. I’m surprised it’s taken this long for ya’ll to figure it out.

While women may be the fairer sex, men are the more mature ones.

So moral of the story: Guys rule, girls drool.

Foreign Affairs

The case for sending U.S. ground troops to combat ISIS The Islamic State has accepted a pledge of allegiance from Nigeria’s Boko Haram. In the audio recording, ISIS spokesperson Abu Mohammad al-Adnani urged Muslims that Africa represents a “new door for you to migrate to the land of Islam and fight.”

Boko Haram’s pledge came in the wake of new polls that show major American support for U.S. ground troops to combat ISIS. The Quinnipiac poll found that 62 percent of Americans supported ground troops, while 30 percent oppose.

Increasingly more Americans support deployment of ground troops as atrocities and attacks by ISIS stack up. President Obama even acknowledged that the U.S. greatly underestimated the strength of IS. While the debate in Congress rages on, U.S. airstrikes and Arab military forces continue to bombard IS. But an Arab military will not be enough to eliminate the radical militants, especially against an experience and organized groups as IS. Late 2014, the CIA estimated that the Islamic States held between 20,000 and 31,500 forces. With the addition of Boko Haram’s militant, IS’s reach and numbers grow and the U.S. must intervene before the situation reaches a point where we’re forced to face war.

History demonstrates that Arab military cooperation doesn’t raise much confidence. Syria, one of the strongest and able Arab countries, continues to struggle in their conflict against IS for nearly four years. While the Pentagon hyped up the Iraqi-led, U.S.-guided offensive against IS-held Mosul, Iraqis worry that their forces will fail to be efficiently prepared. Fearing that the residents might vacate the city or join the fight against them, IS tightened their grasp on Mosul to prevent people from escaping.

“In my view, American boots on the ground should always be the last step, and we need to exercise other steps before that,” Texas Senator Ted Cruz said, “We have the availability of Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer Street, Suite 314, Dallas, TX 75275 The Daily Campus is published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the academic semester.

overwhelming air power.”

For months the U.S. engaged in airstrikes against IS troops, the most recent one killed 250.

President Obama expects this operation to last three years and can cost up to $10 billion per year.

Airstrikes won’t cut it. Ground troops must be deployed for a real opportunity to destroy IS and liberate Iraq and Syria. Bullets are cheaper than missiles, but society can’t place a price on saving the lives of those displaced and murdered.

Ground troops should be the last option, we have to exhaust all other alternatives before deployment, but the world viewed as ISIS less of a threat a year ago. Now, they have a firm grasp on critical towns.

2016 Republican presidential contender Rick Perry said, “We are going to have to have our military actively engaged with other countries’ armed forces that are combating ISIS.” The United States is a world power that posses the ability to liberate Iraq and Syria from the fanaticism of ISIS. With Arab support in the region, especially that of the Pershmerga, not only do we have an opportunity to save towns and families, but a responsibility to protect American and Western values. It is our duty to prevent further pillages of towns and murders and to reinstill hope in a region that longs for peace.

RECOMMENDATION

Savor’s wine-tasting options are limitless.

Courtesy of savordallas.com

Savor Dallas food festival arrives Thursday emily heft Food Editor eheft@smu.edu Savor Dallas, an annual food and wine tasting festival, opened, March 19.

The multi-day extravaganza boasts sample sized bites from Dallas’ best loved restaurants and bars.

Each day features a unique daytime event as well as recurring Toast of the Town in the evening, a themed tasting party featuring anything from

Italian to burgers.

Taking place across Dallas, Savor celebrates many neighborhoods and landmarks.

Here’s our roundup of each day’s must-do experience.

The Arts District Wine Stroll begins at 5 p.m.

It’s is a priceless opportunity to enjoy a multisensory tasting experience.

While sampling wine and other drinks, guests walk through the Nasher Sculpture Center, Meyerson Symphony Center and more in the Dallas

Arts District, drinking in sculpture and painting.

Tickets are $40 and of course you must be at least 21 to attend.

Today’s Toast of the Towns include a guormet burger tasting, a sherry-based cooking class and sampling, an Italian offering at Nonna, and more.

Though the event is sold out, Savor the Arboretum is worth a mention.

Guests will enjoy freshly prepared food from culinary masters, as well as a curated selection of wine, amid the

sunset-kissed botany of the Dallas Arboretum.

I, for one, am jealous.

The food includes selections from restaurants like Banh Shop, The Mozzarella Company, and Empire Baking Company.

Friday’s Toast of the Town is Monterrey Masters Chef Dinner, an offering of Mexican cuisine by guest chefs.

Saturday’s events are the main course of the week’s events, so to speak.

The Reserve Tasting and The Grand Tasting are Savor’s largest

and most luxurious tastings, featuring the biggest selection of food and wine possible.

Hosted in Centennial Hall in Fair Park, the event will be massive, both in selection and crowd.

Tickets are a must; reserve now, not later.

Saturday’s Toast of the Towns are Oyster and Pearl, a seafood-based class and tasting; a Texas cuisine sampling, and a charcuterie exploration.

The culmination of the weekend is Sunday’s

Community Brunch, which unfortunately is sold out already.

The banquet features local food and drinks such as champagne or French toast.

Community Brunch benefits Cafe Momentum, a restaurant staffed by paid interns who are former juvenile offenders, which helps them gain life skills and job preparedness.

The final Toast of the Towns feature a corn tortilla cooking class, a lesson on pork butchery, and a class on aesthetics of food presentation.

on using the freshest local ingredients, from standard beef to its unique dips and flavors like bulgogi fries or salsa-esque sandwich spread.

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.”
