SBO candidates introduce themselves President Meredith Carey Contributing Writer mbcarey@smu.edu “Aren’t you the president? I’ve seen you in the paper,” said the faculty services worker who approached Ramon Trespalacios in Einstein Bro’s Bagels. Trespalacios, current student body president, listened to the man’s security concerns, stating he would be sure to bring it to the Senate’s attention. Being recognized on campus is not unusual for Trespalacios. He’s at every basketball game in Moody Coliseum, cheering wildly in the student section in his signature lobster costume. Trespalacios, an international student, tour guide and engineer, makes an effort to know the pulse of the campus. Now, Trespalacios will run unopposed for a second term as Student Senate President. Mia Kim, the other candidate, a graduate student, has removed herself from the race. Kim will serve as the Law Senator. “I wanted to bring the graduate voice to the Senate,

but with Ramon, I feel that the graduate interests will be equitably heard,” Kim said. “This change in the election does not reflect concession but rather consolidation of causes.” Trespalacios will be pursuing his masters in operations research as part of the Lyle School of Engineering’s 4+1 combined undergraduate and graduate program. The senior from Cuernavaca, Mexico, is running on a platform of continuity, relationships and inclusivity. Trespalacios says his current strong relationships with the administration and knowledge of the Senate will eliminate a presidential learning curve in the fall semester. “It is easier for actual, lasting change to occur over long periods of time,” Trespalacios said. “He will more easily be able to continue the momentum of change over the next year,” Kim said. One of Trespalacios’ focuses is on diversity, branded as

Vice President Jehadu Abshiro News Writer jabshiro@smu.edu Juniors Monica Finnegan and William O’Connor, and sophomore Chase Harker are running for the Vice President seat. Finnegan, an accounting and communications major from St. Louis, has served as Chief of Staff and Speaker for the Student Senate. One of Finnegan’s goals is to bridge the gap between administrators and Senate. “If Senate doesn’t have a close relationship with administrators, nothing can get done,” she said. “I seek to formalize the relationship.” She wants to implement a parking solution, increase community space, student basketball tickets and communication for students. Finnegan is trying to increase community space by working on the Hughes Trigg Task Force. The task force is working on brainstorming renovation ideas for making Hughes-Trigg more
student-friendly. Her hobbies include rollerblading and outdoor activities. She has been to SMU in Taos six times. Finnegan also enjoys going to SMU basketball and football games. “School spirit is really big for me,” she said. She plans on going to graduate school after graduating. Finnegan doesn’t plan on pursuing politics as career, however she might revisit politics after she retires in service of the community. O’Connor, a computer science and economics major from Fort Worth, has served as First-Year Senator. He said he wants to make SMU a better experience from “Start to finish.” This is a three-part plan starting with Mustang Corral. “A lot of students say Mustang Corral is a good experience because you’re so miserable,” O’Connor said. “I think we’re better that.” The second part of his

She also plans on restructuring the way Senate office hours work so that senators are located in places constituents can easily find them. “For example, Cox senators could hold their office hours in Einstein’s, a centrally located place business students often frequent,” she said. “This will allow you to better voice your concerns, find out how Senate can help you, and unlock the resources available to you and your organizations.” Norkett’s hobbies include going to concerts, dancing and service activities. Her favorite type of music is alternative. Sophomore Elliot Bouillion, finance major from Houston, has been involved in student senate for two years. He served as a First-Year Senator, as a PreMajor Senator and is involved with the both the Scholarship and Communications Committees.

Vatican, Obama meets with Pope Francis Associated PRess Face to face for the first time, President Barack Obama and Pope Francis focused publicly on their mutual respect and shared concern for the poor on Thursday. But their lengthy private discussion also highlighted the deep differences between the White House and the Catholic Church on abortion and birth control. The gaps were evident in the differing accounts Obama and the Vatican gave of the meeting, with Obama stressing the two leaders’ common ground on
fighting inequality and poverty while Vatican officials emphasized the importance to the church of “rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection.” That point by church officials referred to a major disagreement over a provision of Obama’s health care law. The meeting inside the grand headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church marked a symbolic high point of Obama’s three-country visit to Europe. For a president whose approval ratings have slipped since winning re-election, it was also an

opportunity to link himself to the hugely popular pope and his focus on fighting poverty. “Those of us as politicians have the task of trying to come up with policies to address issues,” Obama said following the meeting. “But His Holiness has the capacity to open people’s eyes and make sure they’re seeing that this is an issue.” The president said the plight of the poor and marginalized was a central topic in their talks, along with Middle East peace, conflicts in Syria and the treatment of Christians around the world.
Social issues, he said, were not discussed in detail. However, the Vatican left out any reference to inequality issues in its description of the meeting. In a written statement, church officials instead said discussions among not only the pope and president but also their top aides centered on questions of particular relevance for the church leaders in the U.S., making veiled references both to abortion and a contraception mandate in Obama’s health care law, which is under review by the Supreme Court.
NLRB ruling: Northwestern players can unionize Associated PRess A federal agency ruled Wednesday that football players at Northwestern University can create the country’s first union of college athletes. The decision, handed down by a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board, means the board agrees that the players qualify as employees of the university as defined under federal law and thus can legally unionize.
Northwestern, based in Evanston, Ill., argued that the players are students, not employees, and as such do not fit in the same category as factory workers, truck drivers and other unionized workers. The school plans to appeal the decision to the full NLRB board in Washington, D.C. The ruling — seen by many as a potentially landmark decision affecting college athletics — applies only to athletes at private universities.
State
Court of appeals upholds Texas abortion law Associated PRess A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld Texas’ tough abortion restrictions that have forced the closure of about 20 clinics around the state, saying the new rules don’t jeopardize women’s health. A panel of judges at the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court judge who said the rules violate the U.S. Constitution and serve no medical purpose. After the lower court’s ruling, the appeals court allowed the restrictions to go into effect while it considered the case, which ultimately could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. The new law requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and places strict limits on doctors prescribing abortion-inducing pills. More regulations that are scheduled to begin later this year weren’t a part of the case. In its opinion, the appeals court said the law “on its face does not impose an undue burden on the life and health of a woman.” Planned Parenthood, which sued to block the restrictions, called the ruling “terrible” and said that “safe and legal abortion will continue to be virtually impossible for thousands of Texas women to access.” “The latest restrictions in Texas will force women to have abortions later in pregnancy, if they are able to get to a doctor at all,” Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Votes, said in a statement.

Legislature passed and Gov. Rick Perry signed last summer some of the toughest restrictions in the U.S. on when, where and how women may obtain an abortion. Debate of the law drew thousands of demonstrators on both sides of the issue to the state Capitol in Austin and sparked a 12-plus hour filibuster by state Sen. Wendy Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat who succeeded in temporarily blocking passage. Though the restrictions later passed overwhelmingly, Davis catapulted to political stardom and is now running for governor. The office of Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican who is also now running for governor, defended the law in court. He and Perry, who is not seeking reelection in November, cheered Thursday’s ruling. “This unanimous decision is a vindication of the careful deliberation by the Texas Legislature to craft a law to protect the health and safety of Texas women,” Abbott said. In passing the rules, Texas lawmakers argued they were protecting the health of the woman. But abortion-rights supporters called the measures an attempt to effectively ban abortion through overregulation. Many abortion doctors do not have admitting privileges and limiting when and where they may prescribe abortion-inducing pills discourages women from choosing that option, they argued. Other aspects of the new rules, including a requirement that all procedures take place in a surgical facility, are set to begin
in September, though they may also be challenged in court. At least 19 clinics have shut down since the new law was approved and the 5th Circuit allowed the provisions on hospital-admitting privileges and abortion-inducing pills to take effect, leaving around 24 still open to serve a population of 26 million Texans. More closures could happen after the additional restrictions are in place. In reversing the lower court’s decision, the appeals panel said Thursday that the district court opinion erred in concluding the law “imposed an undue burden in a large fraction of the cases.” “The evidence presented to the district court demonstrates that if the admitting-privileges regulation burdens abortion access by diminishing the number of doctors who will perform abortions and requiring women to travel farther, the burden does not fall on the vast majority of Texas women seeking abortions,” the appeals court found. Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, which closed two Texas clinics this month because of the restrictions, was dismayed but not surprised by the ruling. “Texas has left thousands of women and families behind in its crusade to end safe abortion by any means necessary and they are using women’s bodies and women’s lives in a political football game,” Hagstrom Miller said in a statement. The U.S. Supreme Court probably will have the last word on the matter. The court’s four liberal justices already have indicated they are inclined to
improve it,” Trespalacios said. “There needs to come a time when people aren’t surprised that three minority students serve as the executives in the Senate, or that two graduate international students want to run for Senate President.” Elections for the 101st Student Senate will be held April 2 and

Justice Stephen Breyer called the issue of the law’s constitutionality a difficult question. “It is a question, I believe, that at least four members of this court will wish to consider irrespective of the Fifth Circuit’s ultimate decision,” Breyer wrote
in a brief opinion that was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. Five votes constitute a majority on the nine-justice court, but it takes only four to grant full review of a lower court ruling.

Number One brings organic warmth to Highland Park Laurie Snyder Contributing Writer lsnyder@smu.edu Local cafe Number One is launching a new seasonal menu for the summer. Located in Highland Park Village, Number One is a go-to coffee shop for the residents of the Park Cities. All in one location, the cafe offers coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee Co., organic eats, and clothing and boutique goods. “We’re getting ready to start a new summer menu in April. We’ll also be having new cafe hours, adding new items like mushroom cauliflower soup, while still keeping the majority of our items gluten free and adhering to keeping everything organic. We’re just trying to add new options to keep things fresh,” Cafe supervisor Joe Satarino said. When people walk in, they immediately enter the cafe seating and coffee bar. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable, with booth seating, black and white decor and bright flowers on each table. From the exposed brick walls to the wooden windows, Number One Cafe is a place to feel at home. When the weather permits, the doors and windows are opened to bring in the fresh air, creating an
outdoor seating atmosphere. Everything they serve is made on-site. They make their own almond milk, which pairs well with their strong iced coffee and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. On their breakfast menu they offer items like poached eggs, multi-grain toast with honey butter and Greek yogurt with house-made granola. The cafe even serves smoothies like their special kale, avocado, honey and lime combination. They also carry Vim + Vigor juices and BELLOCQ Organic Teas. Just as Satarino mentioned, they take pride in their philosophy, which states, “Our salads, sandwiches, soups, dips and baked goods are all prepared in-house to the highest nutritional standards with simple ingredients of the best quality available. We strive to use all organic products when possible or use local farmers when organic is not available. Most of our offerings are gluten-free and dairy-free, and adhere to the paleo diet standards with vegetarian and vegan options…” Although Number One Cafe is a bit more expensive than your average cafe, the high quality drink and food is worth the higher price point. Next to the coffee bar and
on their second floor, they sell designer-wear like cashmere scarves, leather leggings, simple tees and Sheryl Lowe jewelry. They also sell pillows, candles, blankets and other decor from local boutique Forty Five Ten, which are held in an offset room attached to the cafe called Chapter 02. This little, sun-lit room is lined with bookshelves decorated with art prints, vases and books. They recently received a new line called Private. “It’s very light, simple and a little deconstructed- very similar to what their retail does in the store. Most of our clients are in the area, they live in the neighborhood and we usually tailor our clothing to them,” said sale representative Alex Lopez. Number One seeks to provide quality in the products they offer and serve customers. Obsessed with artisanship and taste, Number One claims to be “the intersection of well-being and living well.” Whether one is stopping in for a quick almond chai latte to browse through the books and international magazines, or staying to relax while nursing a warm jasmine tea, students can’t miss Number One on their next visit to Highland Park Village.

Green Grocer owners, Gary and Cassie Stephens, opened their 100 percent organic grocery store in 2013.
Grocer attracts organic enthusiasts Lauren Jones Contributing Writer ljones@smu.edu Healthier options are starting to leave a mark on Dallas. Juicing, the paleo diet and going gluten-free have become thriving trends. Green Grocer, a local and organic grocery store located on lower Greenville Avenue, fully endorses this healthy movement by educating people about the benefits of nutritious eating. “If you take care of yourself, you can take care of others,” said Green Grocer employee Melanie Knott. Like most employees at Green Grocer, Knott follows a clean and organic diet. She has also transformed her family’s eating habits by providing information on meat-free and dairy-free alternatives for dinner. Eating clean and organic is more than a diet, but rather a lifestyle, and a lifestyle that has helped Knott feel her best. Suffering from a yeast allergy, Knott changed up her diet to incorporate more fresh produce and she now pays close attention to food labels, changes that have significantly diminished her symptoms.
When applying for a job in January, Green Grocer really caught Knott’s eye. “I really admired the owners’ work ethic and I loved the people. Green Grocer has a lot to offer. It has a unique flair. People want to come here,” Knott said. Although Trader Joe’s and Sprouts are located nearby, Green Grocer feels no sense of competition. The prices are comparable, but customers are attracted to Green Grocer for its specialty items, organic produce, and its welcoming atmosphere. Monthly, the store hosts specialty events like classes on juice cleansing and First Tuesdays, where on the first Tuesday of every month customers can meet vendors, sample snacks, and meet people from their neighborhood. Green Grocer is 100 percent organic. “Not many grocery stores can say that,” said owner Gary Stephens. Green Grocer also tries to sell local produce whenever possible. Stephens visits local vendors and selects only the best produce for his store, truly bringing farm fresh quality to customers. Green Grocer unites customers that have a love of healthy eating. Between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. daily, “Happy Hour” perks up Grocer customers with half- priced juices.
Owners, Gary Stephens and wife Cassie, recall their first thoughts about opening up a grocery store while living in Chicago in 2008. “There was no place walking distance to get groceries. Not even a nice place to get ice cream,” Gary Stephens said. The flagship store in Chicago grew slowly as the pair hired employees and developed contacts. After success in Chicago, they decided to expand and opened up the Dallas store in January 2013. The Dallas store is much larger than the Chicago store, due to the growing market for healthier options in Dallas. The aisles are also larger to make the store more family friendly. Among the dingy and dilapidated buildings on lower Greenville Avenue, Green Grocer stands out in crisp white paint and lime green letters. The aroma of fresh pressed apple juice floats in the air, as one is greeted by a rainbow of organic produce. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. Happy Hour is for cleansing, rather than detoxifying and prices are not marked up. The Dallas store has really taken off in this developing era of healthy living as a true gem on Greenville.

When SMU sophomore, Elizabeth Boddicker browses the pasta aisle at Kroger, she picks up gluten-free spaghetti because she believes it’s healthier. Kathy Miller, a nutritionist at Cooper Clinic, says it’s becoming easier and easier to find gluten-free foods in grocery stores. A few years ago, the designer grocery stores were the only ones that had these specialty foods. Now, they are pretty much mainstream. “In the past 10 years that I’ve been working with patients with celiac and gluten sensitivity, it has improved so much in the grocery stores,” Miller said. Dallas grocery stores and
restaurants make being celiac easy, even though only a meager 1 percent of the population actually has the disease. SMU juniors Lexie Maddux and Kira Parsons, who both have celiac disease, said they can find a wide variety of gluten-free products at Whole Foods, Kroger and local restaurants. “For me it’s pretty easy finding gluten-free options in Dallas because many restaurants, if not offered on their menus, will work with you individually to find something that works,” Parsons says. Eating gluten free is a national trend, and Dallas restaurants as well as grocery stores are making it very easy to say goodbye to gluten. Many people are starting to eat gluten-free due to rumored benefits, such as more energy, but Miller dispels this myth.
She said that while a lot of people are eating gluten-free because they believe going glutenfree will give you more energy, this is only true for the small percentage of celiacs out there. It would make no difference to anyone who doesn’t have the disease. “There’s a group that has put a mystical halo over buying glutenfree food and saying that if it makes a celiac have more energy then it’ll probably help me lose weight, run faster and feel better,” Miller said. “So it’s part of an overreaction to a food product that has come about because there was a serious disease out there.” Some of Parsons’ favorite restaurants that carry gluten free options include P.F. Chang’s, Chipotle, Twisted Root and Rusty Taco. For the full story, go to smudailycampus.com.

SMU: Accept Semester at Sea We all should want CHIA alexandra day Contributing Writer alexd@smu.edu When people ask me what the most valuable lesson I learned from my study abroad experience was, the answer comes easily: fearlessness. When I say fearlessness, I’m not talking about your generic Disney movie “follow your dreams” boldness. This brand of fearlessness is entirely different. It is the ability to live my life unafraid of failure. Fearing failure isn’t always a conscious, nagging thing; most of the time it’s a tiny voice in the back of our minds whispering, “don’t take that class. You might fail, and ruin your GPA.” Or, “don’t apply for that internship. If you don’t get it, you’ll feel like a failure.” It’s insidious, and before I went abroad, I wasn’t even aware it was there. That all changed thanks to Semester At Sea.
For 66 days, I lived on an old cruise ship that had been transformed into a bona fide floating university, complete with two cafeterias, a gym, lecture halls, a computer lab and more. The ship sailed around the Mediterranean, and stopped for between three and six days each in eight countries: Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Malta, France, Spain and Portugal. While on the ship between ports, we took classes; my favorite (and most challenging) was Global Politics of Change. I learned about the Arab Spring and the Eurozone Crisis, all before entering into the countries I was learning about. For each class, we had a field lab in one of the countries. For Anthropology of Food, my 20-person class attended a tapas-making workshop in Barcelona, Spain. When you’re literally dropped into a country with little more than a few weeks’ background learning on its people and culture, you have to learn fast. You have to pick up the basics of the language (I still know how to say “thank you” in Arabic, Turkish, Greek, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese), the currency and the transportation system. You have to learn that it’s okay to make mistakes. You learn not to fear failure, but rather to embrace
it as a necessary and, often times, memorable first step to success. Believe me when I say that you’re more likely to remember the time that you got too close to the snake charmer in Marrakech, Morocco, and he wouldn’t remove his cobra from around your neck until you paid him the equivalent of $50 in Moroccan Dirhams, then you are to remember the carefully-planned and administration-approved day trip to the history museum in France. This program teaches students to be independent but cautious, aware but always learning. Aria Cochran, a junior at SMU majoring in English, went on the Fall 2013 voyage. She told me, “by going to so many more places in an environment with more responsibility, I felt as though I was being challenged in a way that I could not have been otherwise.” The beauty of Semester at Sea is that it really forces students to confront their preconceptions about the many different, wonderful cultures of the world and exposes them to the broad scope of experiences that people face all around the world. Michelle Anderson, a junior Anthropology and Human Rights major, is living aboard the ship right now. She is on the “Around
the World” voyage, and, when I asked her why she chose Semester at Sea, she said, “I have especially gained from tangibly seeing different human rights issues throughout Asia and Africa, which is helping me narrow down what areas I am truly passionate in. It’s a comparative experience I never would have gotten if I were abroad in just one place.” Currently, Semester at Sea is not an “SMU-affiliated” study abroad program. Because of this, SMU financial aid cannot be applied to the program, and if an SMU student participates, they are limited to receiving only transfer credit for their courses. I urge SMU to accept this program as one of its sanctioned study abroad opportunities. It is hardly fair to refuse to allow it because of a few individuals’ behavior, the reason I was given when I requested to go, (I went anyway). If we were to follow that logic, SMU would have to give up Greek life, athletics and most social groups on campus. SMU claims to produce “world changers.” Cochran, Anderson and I are just a few of many students who can attest to the fact that Semester at Sea encouraged us to become just that. Day is a junior majoring in English and psychology.

EDITORIAL BOARD
LGBT Student Senate seat benefits SMU On Tuesday, the SMU Student Senate voted in favor of adding a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) seat to the chamber after 10 years of defeat. The Senate will send the referendum to the student body vote likely by next week. It will require a two-thirds majority. The Editorial Board believes this is a good step. The Senate has a SPECTRUM liaison, who has been Harvey Luna for the past four years. However, this current system discourages closeted students from approaching Senate with possible issues. With an LGBT senator, students who want to keep their sexual orientation private would be able to discreetly approach the senator with their concerns. Additionally, students who are not members of SPECTRUM will also be able to bring their ideas to the
Senate. The seat would allow more students to voice their opinions to the Senate, and allow their privacy to be protected if desired. In 2011, current Student Body President Ramon Trespalacios, then Senators Austin Prentice and Alex Mace all voted against adding the LGBT seat to Senate. They were concerned about student privacy. Since then, a system has been devised that will protect privacy while allowing the necessary information to be gathered. For special interest Student Senate seats, only students who are members of the special interest group are allowed to vote for that specific senator. For example, only students who label themselves as Hispanic in Access can vote for the Hispanic-American senator. This rule would also apply to the LGBT senator.
The University Registrar will have a question on Access where students can identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Students can opt out of the question and it will be protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). A student’s parents will also have no way of knowing if or how their child answered the question. While a student’s answer is protected under FERPA, the university would still need to file the information for the purpose of student elections. This could raise potential issues in across-the-board representation. On the other hand, there are plenty of students who comfortably share their sexual orientation. According to its orgs.smu page, SPECTRUM has 50 members, some of whom may be straight. It is also likely that there are other
students on campus who are openly members of the LGBT community, but who are not members of activist organizations. Overall, we’ll have to see the election process in action to determine how effective the Access question will be. The Editorial Board believes the Student Senate should add an LGBT seat. The seat would allow more members of the LGBT community to voice their ideas and concerns to Senate. As SMU strives to unite community facets and bring the university together as a cohesive whole, equal representation is a clear and necessary step. While this move to represent a significant portion of the community should have likely been enacted years sooner, we applaud our current Senate for stepping up to the plate and making the first real efforts to make the LGBT seat a reality.

natalie yezbick Contributing Writer nyezbick@smu.edu Amid the hubbub surrounding the Student Senate vote in favor of an LGBT senate seat, an important resolution sneaked its way to passage Tuesday. Student Senate voted to publicly support the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act, or CHIA. CHIA is a federal bill with bicameral and bipartisan support in Congress, and I am proud to say that SMU is one of the more than 90 universities that will both benefit from and support the bill. Many student senators were confused by what CHIA entails and probably still are, so let me explain: CHIA will amend the tax code to allow nonprofit entities on university campuses, such as Greek organizations, to use charitable gifts for updates to their housing. This comes at no extra cost to taxpayers. Currently, alumni can make tax-exempt donations to university student housing but can make donations to nonprofit housing only for academic-related infrastructure, such as a library or study area. By allowing alumni to make these gifts, universities would instead be able to allocate resources they would normally utilize to update nonprofit housing and use them to make renovations on other on-campus housing. President R. Gerald Turner has signed letters addressed to Rep. Pete Sessions, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Sen. John Cornyn demonstrating his support of the bill. These letters have been approved by SMU’s legal team, and SMU has publicly supported the bill in previous years according to the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee, the largest PAC dedicated solely to solving higher education issues. Despite dissent about the process with which the measure was passed, the resolution passed unanimously, according to Senate Secretary Katherine Ladner. So why should you care? Currently, almost 10 percent (586 students out of 6,138 undergraduates) of our student body lives in nonprofit housing, namely sorority and fraternity houses. A majority of the fraternity houses and a handful of sorority houses are old, thus making them more susceptible to dangerous structural damage and more likely to have outdated safety equipment. SMU recently added fire sprinklers to all fraternity houses due to a requirement from
University Park, but 50 percent of fraternity houses nationwide do not have them, according to the Fraternal Government Relations Coalition. Retrofitting a house with sprinkers can cost upwards of $400,000. The bill may also help nonInterfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council sororities raise enough money to have their own house at SMU. Housing for the members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Multicultural Greek Council is in the works, but it’s not a cheap process. CHIA would encourage alumni to donate directly to help these groups. Who else besides SMU cares? The congressman who represents SMU in Washington, Rep. Sessions, is one of the main sponsors of the bill. “Unlike college and university owned housing, not-for-profit student housing entities are currently prohibited from using charitable contributions to build and maintain their facilities,” said Rep. Sessions. He believes that the bill will, “make college more affordable, reduce long-term student loan debt, create small business jobs nationwide and improve campus safety.” The passage of CHIA would spur more than $1 billion in capital improvement projects nationwide, helping small businesses and energizing economies, according to the FGRC. As of April 2013, 197 representatives and 32 Senators are past sponsors of the bill, making CHIA one of the most popular tax code reforms of this decade. It hasn’t passed in previous sessions of Congress because, in my opinion, politicians don’t see college students in their districts as their main voting constituency. Eighty-eight universities and 41 Greek organizations in three Greek councils will be sending representatives to Washington, D.C. in April to gain support for the bill. I am SMU’s representative and one of Alpha Chi Omega’s advocates for the lobbying push. I have documented the improvements that many of our fraternity houses need: repairs after electrical fires due to faulty wiring in the FIJI house, a kitchen upgrade for the Beta Theta Pi house so their chefs can cook in their facility and repairs to the balcony of the Kappa Sigma house to make it more structurally sound. With the residential commons system requiring more students to live on campus, nonprofit housing like Greek houses is going to be a hot commodity. The ability for alumni to donate directly to these improvements would lower the cost of both oncampus and Greek housing and the threat of dangerous living conditions at SMU. Yezbick is a junior majoring in journalism.

Meadows Dance Ensemble Meadows theatre revives brings Hope to spring 40-year-old production zain haidar Staff Writer zhaidar@mail.smu.edu I have a bad track record with the performing arts. When we would watch cheap community theatre in elementary school, I struggled not to walk out in the middle, break wind or do both at the same time. Coming into college, none of that really changed, (maybe my gas got worse?). During the middle of an SMUST production last year my phone fell out of my pocket, clanked and banged along the side of the seats, and finally landed in the middle of the entrance. Dance performances are usually the worst for me. I get bored. I fidget. Occasionally I can jam out to the music, but it’s normally nothing I can vibe with, yet I continue to torture myself (although nothing quite screams torture like opera). The torture finally ended last night with the Meadows Dance Ensemble’s opening of their
annual spring “Hope Show.� There were a couple of factors that made this particular performance stand out from the others I’ve seen in the past. Mostly, the length is what did it. Ladies and gentlemen, size does matter. We’ve all experienced the pain of any class that runs longer than 50 minutes. That’s the beauty of Brown Bag – besides a sore butt from sitting on the floor of the lobby you’re in, you get some fun-sized culture and then you’re out. Counting intermission, “Hope Show� runs at about an hour and 15 minutes. That’s roughly an hour of dance split up into three different pieces. The ensemble has been rehearsing for this performance since late January (that kind of commitment is not out of the ordinary in the Dance Department), and it shows. Lean bodies moved (seemingly) without effort throughout the pieces and were a constant reminder that I’m not in shape. I learned a long time
ago not to compare my body to a dancer’s because that’s a road you just don’t want to go down. Yes, the dancers put on a killer show, and with no little help from the choreographers and teachers of the three pieces — former Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane dancer Germaul Barnes, Meadows Artist-in-Residence Adam Hougland and Meadows Prize winner Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. Another note: this might be the least whitewashed dance show Meadows has put on to date. Either it was a happy accident or somebody made an effort to include conscious racial diversity by including the chosen works and the chosen dancers. Hope Show was also much more driven by narrative — each dancer moved with a distinct voice and the costuming reflected personality. You have three more chances to see Hope Show: Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

myca williamson Associate A&E Editor mwilliamson@smu.edu Looking for something to do this weekend? SMU theatre students will be performing “Am I Blue,� a short production written by SMU alumna and Pulitzer Prize winner Beth Henley. The play tells the story of a college freshman and high school junior who meet by chance and change each other’s lives forever. “Two people from two different walks of life come together,� said student director Becca Rothstein. Rothstein got the idea to put up the play after reading a compilation of Henley’s work at the library last summer. “Am I Blue� was one of those pieces. “I loved it the second I read it, and after researching it a little bit, I found out that Beth had written it when she was here at SMU,� Rothstein said. The Henley’s work premiered her senior year in 1972, and she will return to see the play performed in a Meadows space four decades later. Henley won the Pulitzer Prize for her 1981 play “Crimes of the Heart,� which tells the story of three troubled sisters who are forced to face their own realities. The student-revived play takes place in the New Orleans French Quarter in 1968 and follows the events of troubled teens John Polk Richards, played by first-year Nicholas Costello, and Ashbe, played by junior Ally Van Deuren. The two share their their stories with each other on a rainy night. The first production had John Tillotson and Marcie Glazer Newland as the original couple. “It also proved to be the perfect

debut piece, being relatively short and utilizing a small cast,� Rothstein said. In just over 40 minutes, the play captures the dynamic of a young couple battling many complex emotions. They “face their dreams, fears, misgivings, struggles, and
eventually, they are able to face their realities.� The show will take place in Meadows School of Arts in Room B150. The play will show Friday and Saturday at 10:30 p.m. and Sunday at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

FRIDAY n MARCH 28, 2014 Men’s Basketball
Moore hits game-winner, Mustangs edge out California Samuel snow Associate Sports Editor ssnow@smu.edu Having trounced the LSU Tigers, the SMU Mustangs took to the court two days later to face off against the University of CaliforniaBerkley Golden Bears and emerged victorious again 67-65. This game was even tougher. SMU looked sluggish to start the game. Inside the first eight minutes, the Mustangs committed three turnovers and missed a lot of outside jump shots. This allowed the Golden Bears to jump out to a 15-6 lead. Then, however, SMU turned it on. A three-pointer by Nic Moore cut the lead down to four at 15-11. The crowd at Moody was somewhat stagnant to open the game, and even with California’s lead down to four, they remained static. It wasn’t until Keith Frazier nailed a three from the corner and drew the foul that the crowd woke up. And when you wake the crowd, you’re in trouble. Frazier didn’t hit the free throw,

SMU’s point guard, Nic Moore, rises up versus the University of California-Berkley to knock down the game-winning three-pointer with less than seven seconds left. but it didn’t matter. The crowd was awake. Frazier hit a free throw on the team’s next trip down, and it was a three-point lead for California. SMU finally took their first lead on a Ben Moore turnaround jumper. Tyrone Wallace quickly answered with a two, but was
countered with a Frazier jumper. The Mustangs went into the half 32-29 and on the upward trend. SMU came into the second half and picked up right where they left off, as they forced a turnover and Moore lobbed an alley-oop to Markus Kennedy. The Mustangs got a little
sloppy and gave up two turnovers allowing California to score six straight points and cut the lead to one. Nevertheless, the crowd rose up to show supports, and Shawn Williams got a lay-up. The score remained within three points over the next few minutes before Moore started showing why he’s one of the most dynamic point
guards in the AAC. In consecutive offensive possessions, Moore drove before passing it to Kennedy inside for a make and then hit a three. The latter put the score at 49-43. California kept fighting, and eventually Jabari Bird put up six points out of the Golden Bear’s nine that gave them a
53-50 lead. Then it seemed like a variety of Mustangs knocked down big shots only to have Bird answer the call. The Mustangs tied up the game off of free throws from Nick Russell, and with the crowd as loud as it has been this season, SMU held California without points on it’s next possession. With the scored tied, it was the senior Russell who took the lead with a reverse lay-up. SMU had to hold California scoreless, but Justin Cobbs had other plans. Cobbs hit a cold-blooded three to give California a one-point lead with 15.6 seconds left. The Mustang faithful didn’t shrivel and die. They got louder. With less than seven seconds left, it was the man who SMU has leaned on all season, Nic Moore, who knocked down a three from the corner. That sent the crowd into haywire-mode as SMU held California scoreless to advance. With yet another victory under their belt, SMU moves on to the NIT semis. SMU will play Clemson Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.

Game-winning shot pushes SMU’s season further omar majzoub Contributing Writer omajzoub@smu.edu In the last game at Moody Coliseum this year, SMU sophomore point guard Nic Moore had perhaps the most magical moment of the season. Moore hit a game winning three-pointer for the Mustangs with under 10 seconds left to play to beat California and advance out of the quarterfinals of the NIT. Moore finished the game with 11 points on four for 11 shooting
in a game where he struggled early, but came alive in the second half. Moore also had three assists and only two turnovers against Cal guard Justin Cobbs. Cobbs was second in the Pac-12 in assists this year and ninth in scoring. He finished the game with 18 points and seven assists, but it was Moore who led his team to victory with his clutch play. Moore logged 37 minutes for the Mustangs and was the team’s primary ball handler on offense all night. He did a lot of great things defensively, including
drawing a couple offensive fouls, and playing off the emotional Moody Coliseum crowd in the second half. This season, Moore has averaged a team-high 13.6 points and 4.9 assists while shooting 47 percent from the field and 45 percent from three. Moore was voted first-team American Athletics Conference and Head Coach Larry Brown has talked all season about how the little point guard has been his coach on the floor. “This was the highlight of the season for me,” Brown said after
the game. “Nic had just missed a three and I wasn’t real happy with his shot selection. We had a great shooter make a big shot and not be afraid of it. It was really great for our seniors, Nick Russell and Shawn Williams, after how the season ended disappointingly.” With that victory, SMU finishes the season 12-1 at Moody Coliseum and will advance to play in the NIT semifinals at Madison Square Garden next week. The Mustangs are set to take on Clemson, who is 23-12 and beat Belmont by five in the quarterfinals Tuesday night.
