Gamma Phi Beta and Black Men Emerging close the 24th annual Sing Song program with their Texan themed performance. Gamma Phi Beta placed 2nd last year.
Sing Song goes Coast to Coast RAHFIN FARUK News Editor rfaruk@smu.edu Raise your voice and pull out your dancing shoes because Sing Song is going All-American this year. Nine groups will perform 10-minute scripts based on this year’s theme: All-American Road Trip Friday evening. Each group chose a state where their script is supposed to take place. Alpha Chi Omega and Kappa Sigma will open the show with a Michigan themed skit. The road trip makes stops in New York, Illinois, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Hawaii and California. The show concludes with Gamma Phi Beta and Black Men Emerging’s performance
centered around the Lone Star State. “Sing Song originated in the 1920s. Program Council revitalized the program 24 years ago and has been working hard to make it one of the best programs in the spring semester ever since. Sing Song was one of the first events of its kind among universities,” Jonathan Machemehl, Sing Song vice president of programming, said. “Baylor Sing was started after a staff member left SMU and took the idea to Baylor for them to start a similar program.”. Each team invests large amounts of time into designing their skit – from night rehearsals to script writing to group coordination. Teams are hoping that SMU students show their support for Sing Song on
Friday night. “I think SMU students should come to the show because Sing Song is a huge tradition at SMU. There are over 250 student performers that have worked for months to put their performance together,” Alex Munoz, Sing Song chair, said. “Even if you don’t know anyone in the show, you should still come and support your fellow mustangs.” The skit is a result of months of preparation by more than 200 SMU students. The All-American theme was announced in early October and teams were required to select individual states a few weeks later. After each team selects a state, they only have about eight weeks before the event to perfect their pieces.
“The week of Sing Song groups practice in McFarlin for 3 nights and do a dress rehearsal for the event,” Machemehl said. “The groups put in hundreds of hours to get their shows ready so come out and support all of your friends and see all the hard the work they have put into this event since January.” This year’s event will include two non-Greek organizations – a recent trend for the traditional Greek event. Virginia Snider had a Sing Song group last year. Tickets can be purchased at the Mane Desk until Friday evening. Student tickets are $10 and nonstudents $12. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will commence at 7:30 p.m.

The 2012 Jno. E Owens Memorial Foundation Conference on Thursday brought together scholars and economic policy experts to discuss whether emerging markets will continue to boost world growth. The keynote speaker, Anne Krueger, spoke during the conference luncheon at the Meadows Museum about the emerging economic markets in Brazil, Russia, India and China; together known as BRICs. The history of emerging markets “has caught the attention of the world over the past decade or so,” Krueger, who is Professor of International Economics at Johns Hopkins University, said. She said that the BRIC nations were not originally predicted to grow as rapidly as they have. “There are likely indeed other countries that will emerge and grow rapidly over the next several decades,” Krueger said. However, she said that determining which countries those would be is nearly impossible to do. “You don’t know who will be next,” she said. Today, BRIC is still poorer per capita than the U.S. Krueger said the BRIC nations are still growing rapidly and that their share in world trade has risen significantly. However, income differences still exists even between BRIC nations. India and
China are much poorer than Russia and Brazil. Krueger said China’s per capita income “hasn’t come close to the industrial countries.” Of the BRIC nations, Brazil has the second highest per capita income compared with Russia, which has the highest. However, she said that the Russian population has fallen in recent years and that it’s hard to determine what the effects will be. India, on the other hand, has the lowest per capita income of the BRIC states, according to Krueger, but has grown more than any other country within the past decade. “India potentially has demographic dividends over the next few decades, but to benefit from that, major market reforms are needed,” she said. Each of the BRIC nations face a number of challenges going forward. Krueger said that China faces a demographic challenge because the number of people in the labor force is falling. She also said there is evidence that the Chinese are wasting their government investments. Russia faces the challenge of removing its Soviet era legacy. Brazil, she said, needs financial liberalization, and India must find the political will to carry out the major reforms necessary in the bureaucracy to improve infrastructure. An overall growth of BRICs markets in the future would yield a boost to the entire international economy, she said.

Presidential Center launches Freedom Collection SARAH KRAMER Editor in Chief skramer@smu.edu Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, introduced the online collection of interviews that tell the stories of those who have fought for freedom during an event Wednesday evening. The former president said he hopes the Freedom Collection, which is part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, will inspire those who are in the same struggle. “The Freedom Collection honors courage. It reminds us of our duty to be always on the side of human rights and human dignity and the right for people to live in a free society,” he said at the Winspear Opera House. The collection is comprised of archives of various interviews from those who have fought again oppressive regimes from the 20th and 21st centuries. “We believe that freedom yields peace and therefore we believe it’s in our nation’s interest to stand side by side with dissidents, political prisoners, courageous folks who demand their God-given right,” Bush said. Currently, the collection contains 56 interviews, but it will continue to grow. During his presidency, Bush met with more than 100 dissidents from all over the world, including the Dalai Lama, Xiqui Fu, Ammar Abdulhamid and Vaclav Havel, who died in December. Bush also met with Liberian

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who also spoke at the event via video teleconference. After spending time in prison for defending democracy and human rights, Sirleaf said she became stronger because she realized people take freedom for granted. Thus, she said she worked harder to bring freedom, equity and equality for all. “There’s no quick fix — no magic wand,” she said. “We need to communicate to people, to allow them to be a part as much as possible.” Sirleaf knows that the full objectives have not been achieved; yet, the transition to democracy is underway. “We need to share with the dissidents, stay the course, remain courageous, try new voices, join arms in working for those objectives,” she said.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Kristen Silverberg said she hopes the collection will be a resource to people globally. “The goal is to advance democracy and freedom around the world,” she said. “We need to remind them that they aren’t alone in their endeavor.” During the event, artifacts, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, were donated on behalf of Dr. Oscar Elisas Biscet Gonzalez. Because he made a stance for democracy and is a human rights advocate, Gonzales was imprisoned for 12 years in Cuba. Bush said he hopes that the Freedom Collection will impact SMU students. “I hope the students at SMU will dedicate their lives to making sure people like Biscet can live their lives,” he said. “Courage is not in short supply. We must never forget that.”
Colors fly at Holi festival AN PHAN Contributing Writer aphan@smu.edu Speckled with pink, orange, blue, and green, SMU students from all cultures gathered for Indian Students Association’s (ISA) annual Holi celebration. Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu festival that celebrates the arrival of spring. Participants throw colored powder and water at each other in a free for all battle. The event took place at Sorority Park on Thursday. Traditionally, Holi celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring on the day of the first full moon of March. It is mainly celebrated in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,
and Nepal, but immigrant populations around the world celebrate the event. Holi is a unique time when social rules and structure are relaxed, as people of different social classes break social norms and play together. It is a unifying event, where rich, poor, young and old come together to embrace their Hindu faith and celebrate the arrival of spring. In preparation for the event, the members of ISA set up mini inflatable pools, buckets, water balloons, and water guns filled with dyed water. “I’m super excited. This is one of the most fun events at SMU because non-ISAers always come, and we get to teach others about Indian culture,” ISA’s vice president, Ankita Krishnan, prior to the event, said. Students who did not grow up
celebrating Holi are making the event a tradition. “I went last year, and I’m excited to get more colorful than I did last year,” Hayley Wagner, a sophomore, said. The event lasted about 40 minutes, and by the end, everyone was wet and dirtied with colored powder. Students enjoyed the thrills of the event and didn’t mind the mess. “Holi was awesome, and I’ve never looked better,” Nikita Agrawal, a first year, said. ISA members were enthusiastic with event attendance and optimistic about the future of the event. “We’re so glad such a diverse number of people showed up. Next year, we hope it is longer and better,” Anisha Durvasula, president of ISA, said.

FASHION WEEK
#smufw panel spotlight: THE BUSINESS OF FASHION MARK AGNEW Contributing Writer magnew@smu.edu Fashionistas invaded Georges Auditorium in Cox Wednesday as SMU Fashion Week held its Business in Fashion panel. Panelists shared advice on getting into the fashion business, being resilient and staying competitive in an ever-changing global industry. The goal of the event was to show business-minded people they can still pursue their passion. They don’t necessarily have to go into finance or accounting, explained Grace Davis, SMU Fashion Week executive director. The committee started planning the inaugural fashion week in September 2011. They selected panelists at different stages in their careers to provide well-rounded commentary. Panelists included jewelry designer Amanda Sterett, online director of Stanley Korshak Joanna Lewis and John Piermarini of Piermarini Boutique. “It’s been a long time coming but well worth it,” Davis said. “All the panelists had great

things to say.” Amanda Sterett, 35, graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in fashion merchandising. When asked what is the most important advice she would give college students, she replied: “Networking, networking, networking!” That’s exactly how Sterett landed her first job at Ralph Lauren corporate, where she gained real-world fashion experience before branching out to start her
jewelry business. Joanna Lewis, SMU MBA ’10, worked for Neiman Marcus in the marketing department before being recruited by Stanley Korshak to head up their online division. She advocated getting internship experience and said her company would not hire anyone without an internship. “You’re not necessarily going to get your dream job,” Lewis said. “Don’t get discouraged.”

John Piermarini, 19, owner of Piermarini Boutique, encouraged individuals interested in fashion to gain a holistic understanding of the industry and start with the very basics by studying textiles. He also noted how he makes a point to educate his customers on the garments in his Uptown boutique. His favorite part of the business is interacting with all his customers, he said. Even when consumers aren’t in the store, he utilizes social media to maintain an ongoing conversation. Kevin Willoughby, commercial photographer and fashion marketing professor at El Centro College, attended the event along with several of his students. He will be teaching fashion history and culture this fall at SMU as a part of the new fashion media minor curriculum. “As educators, especially in the fashion business, it’s really important to remain relevant to the industry and the issues it’s dealing with every day,” Willoughby said.
Not all first starts are as fabulous as the inaugural fashion week at SMU. Fashion-minded students, alumni, faculty and members of the community attended the panels to hear about different aspects of the industry. The week will come to a conclusion with Retail Club’s annual fashion show on Friday, a tradition that has been in place for years but never paired with an entire week dedicated to educating students on the industry. In the past, the Retail Club fashion show has taken place at Barneys New York at NorthPark Center and more recently at the Meadows Museum on campus. But this year, they are taking the show outside in the beautiful Dallas weather. A carpeted runway will unfold down the middle of the Owen Fine Arts Center courtyard, with models filing out from the glass doors. The team, including Grace Davis, Rebecca Marin and Meg Jones, has gathered a line up of stellar student models to give
the clothes life on the runway. Retail Club has been working closely with Stanley Korshak to choose and style the outfits. To mimic the collections shown at major fashion weeks around the world, Retail Club event coordinator Meg Jones and president Rebecca Marin formulated themes to organize the show and give the clothes coherency. The four themes were built around the typical life of an SMU student: Boulevarding, school, class and going out. Expect to see lots of dresses, prints and vibrant colors. The show will be emceed by SMU Fashion Week executive chair Grace Davis. SMUStyle.com, a popular campus-based blog, will announce their anticipated Ten Best-Dressed Students during an intermission following the first two themes. Head to Meadows at 5 p.m. Friday for great looks on the runway and off in the crowd. Both local and national designers will be featured at the fashion show.

Women’s soccer signs five new players for 2012 MERCEDES OWENS Sports Editor mmowens@smu.edu The SMU women’s soccer team has announced Sara Watson, Lissi Lonsberry, Shannon Moroney, Brooke O’Hare and Lauren Shroyer as its 2012 signing class. Brent Erwin, the women’s soccer coach, has officially announced the new signees to join the Mustangs on the field next season. “This was not a year that we had to replace a huge number of players,” Erwin said. “We had to look for individual qualities to go along with their ability to play and think.” Both Lonsberry and Watson will saddle up with SMU after both helped lead the Dallas Texans club team to a national runner-up finish in 2009 and the 2008 Gothia Cup championship in Gothenburg, Sweden, along with other impressive achievements. The pair has also helped lead their club to five North Texas State Cup championships since 2005 and fivestraight Region III Premier League championships. Coming to Dallas from Flower Mound, Texas, Watson is a central defender and has been a member of the North Texas state team and the Region III Olympic Development Program Pool. When it comes to finding a place on the team, Erwin is sure that she’ll be able to jump right in to the swing of things.
SPENCER J EGGERS/The Daily Campus
Junior forward Ryanne Lewis attempts to score a goal during Friday evening’s match against Memphis at Wescott Field. SMU won 2-1.
“Sara Watson is a player who we would like to see come in and step into that position right away and be able to contribute,” Erwin said. “She has every ability that you look for in a center back--strong, tall, can win the ball in the air, combative and can win tackles. Also, if you look at a history of the defenders that come out of her club, they’ve always gone on to do well so I think she’s been trained in a good way.” Lonsberry, a midfielder/ forward from Southlake, Texas is currently ranked as the No. 11 player in Texas according
to TopDrawerSoccer. Not stopping there, Lonsberry is also in ESPNHS’s Top 150 Class of 2012 and leads Southlake Carroll, her high school team, in goals scored. With impressive stats backing up Lonsberry’s talent, Erwin sees the many benefits of having her in the program. “Lissie has just gone through a year that she’s scoring a lot of goals for both Southlake Carroll and the Dallas Texans,” Erwin said. “She’s scored goal playing on the outside or at the center striker. She’s very versatile,
has good speed and is a fantastic athlete.” Because two natural born leaders weren’t enough, SMU also welcomes Maroney, the D’Feeters team captain out of Allen, Texas. The goalkeeper has been ranked as one of the top 100 players in the nation by TopDrawerSoccer. She has also been a member of the North Texas and Region III ODP teams since 2007. Erwin has had an eye out for the talented goalkeeper, and is ready for her to join the Mustangs.
“Shannon fills a need for us at goalkeeper,” Erwin said. “She can come in and compete with the players that we already have. She fits the profile, sixfoot, has good range and is an unbelievable athlete. “She’s come to our summer camp before and any sort of physical testing we have put her through, she’s tested off the charts. She is one of the top goalkeepers in our region and we are excited to have her at SMU.” O’Hare, a defender from Jacksonville, Fla., will be leaving the sunshine state after making
history in 2009 with Pont Vedra Storm. In 2009, O’Hare helped Storm become the first club from North Florida to win a regional championship before going on to take the silver medal at the USYS National Championship. Erwin is proud to have a player from a “very prestigious” school, the Bolles School, that has seen a lot of success. “She’s a very high characterperson who works very hard,” Erwin said. Also teaming up with the Mustangs to guard the goal line is Shroyer, a defender from Hinsdale, Ill. Shroyer is a member of NSA Premier Fury, one of the top club teams in the Midwest, and has helped her team to two Illinois State Cup championships, a Region II title in 2010 and a USYS Championship in 2011. Bringing versatility to the team is high on Erwin’s list when it comes to making a team and adding players like Shroyer does just that. “We look for players who have won at different places and her team has done just that,” Erwin said. With such a phenomenal signing class behind them the women’s soccer program is sure to continue to grow and see success on Westcott Field. The Mustangs are currently playing in the Spring season with a 1-0 record after defeating Midwestern State on March 24. Next, SMU will take on TCU for a cross-town showdown at the Dallas International Girls Cup on April 6.

SMU track and field’s Ayla Gill isn’t slowing down KELSEY CHARLES Staff Writer kcharles@smu.edu Blond hair, blue eyes and a big, bright smile; from her initial appearance, many would say Ayla Gill is your typical college kid, but in reality she is much more. Her shy and sweet demeanor is somewhat deceiving, because behind that smiling face rests a fierce and determined attitude. Gill, a senior, has had an impressive career at SMU — she has numerous conference-wide awards and first-place finishes under her belt, but she’s only getting started. This season alone Gill has managed to finish in the top-
five in every single meet she has competed in. She values consistency and “finding her rhythm” as a means of success as an athlete. Despite her recent victories, Gill, a native of Auckland, New Zealand, is determined to go farther than just competing at the collegiate level. Throwing at SMU is just the start of what she hopes will be a lifelong career in the sport. The distance from her home is difficult, but her will to succeed and dedication to her sport is strong. “It is hard going to school so far from home, but it is an experience of a lifetime and something I personally needed to do to advance in my sport,”
she said. Her goal one day is to compete in the Olympics for her country’s team, and with guidance from her coach, Dave Wollman, the possibility of doing so has become more tangible. “I’d like to get Ayla to a world championship standard, which is in the neighborhood of 62, 63 meters. She’s more than capable of doing that,” Wollman said. Gill’s current best throw is 52.79 meters, a toss she made at the TCU Horned Frog Invitational on March 15 this year. Besides being an athlete, Gill is also a student, and being a student athlete isn’t as
glamorous as it is chalked up to be. Gill’s schedule is definitely demanding as she is majoring in accounting, a difficult degree on its own, let alone being accompanied by hours of training and practice. Despite the intense schedule, her passion for her sport and desire to achieve her goals motivates her to work hard and be successful in both areas of her life. “Whatever Ayla does, she does at the highest level,” Wollman said. Goals are extremely important to Gill, and keeping focused on what she wants to achieve is key. She is constantly critiquing her own performance
and focusing on things to improve on for the next meet. “My goals for the next track meet are to improve on my mark for the year and to improve my technique in competition,” Gill said. Not only does Gill set shortterm goals for herself, but season-long goals as well. For months, she has been setting her sights on one of the most important meets of the season, the Conference USA Outdoor Championships. The meet, which will be held in New Orleans May 10 through the 13, sets the precedent for who will continue on to the
NCAA Championships. “To get to nationals you have to do the performance at regionals. You have three throws to make it to finals. It’s definitely a high pressure situation,” Gill said. Expectations and goals are high for Gill, but she is ready for the challenge. “Excellence doesn’t have borders. You don’t get to choose to be excellent at what you do in certain phases of your life,” Wollman said. For Gill, this excellence has only begun.

GOP fringe rises, Muslims lose RAHFIN FARUK News Editor rfaruk@smu.edu In recent years, the emergence of the Tea Party has shifted the tone of GOP politicians and pundits. Even a decade ago, Republican candidates for the presidency understood the importance of moderation. In 2012’s push to defeat the “anti-religion,” “Socialist” Obama, candidates continue to portray themselves as strong Christian men. The leader of the pack was grassroots conservative favorite, Rick Santorum, who has voiced byte after byte about his thoughts on religion (at the pleasure of many social conservatives) and said this in a 2007 speech: “What must we do to win [against Islam]? We must educate, engage, evangelize and eradicate…and that’s the final thing. As I said, this is going to be a long war. There are going to be pluses and minuses, ups and downs. But we have to win this war to — fight this war to win this war….Until we have the kind of discussion and dialogue with Islam — that democracy and freedom of religion, along with religious pluralism, are essential for the stability of the world and our ability to cohabit in this world. Unless Islam is willing to make that conscious decision, then we are going to be at war for a long time.” Santorum’s country – or at least his perception of it – idealizes America as a nation of God-fearing, homogenous Christians. As more and more candidates embrace Santorum’s tone and vision, effects will continue to occur. An ICNA report revealed the following facts: 24 states are considering or have already passed anti-Sharia legislation, and 42 million dollars has already been pumped into anti-Sharia organizations. In Tennessee, Muslim mosques have been burned to the ground. In New York, Arab Americans are nine times as likely to be pulled over by the police for ‘random’ searches. After 9/11, the number of immigration cases opened against Arab Americans increased by more than double fold. For American Muslims, stereotypes that link Islam and terrorism into one entity still exist. There is no better example than the angry protests and backlash that came from the Manhattan community center. A 2010 TIME survey continues: 61 percent of respondents oppose the construction of the Park 51/Cordoba House project, compared with 26 percent who support it. More than 70 percent concur with the premise that proceeding with the plan would be an insult to the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Anti-Muslim discrimination and prejudice can no longer be classified as outliers. As more and more Americans continue to embrace the rhetoric of the GOP, the Cordoba Mosque project petitioners and the political exclusionists, Muslims will have to ask themselves: Is my religious identity worth saving in the face of growing bigotry? I hope that my children can confidently answer “yes” to that question. Rahfin is the News Editor. He is a freshman majoring in mathematics, economics and public policy.

Why our appearance and personality really do matter PAUL KROEGER Opinion Editor pkroeger@smu.edu Last month, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City opened an exhibit showcasing the work of Cindy Sherman. Sherman’s artwork consists of self-portraits in which she poses in elaborate costumes and makeup, often in front of intricate backgrounds. Her photographs have been described as “one-frame films,” and one of her series consists entirely of photographs that recall old noir, foreign films, or B-movies. Other collections include photos in vulnerable, sexual positions with prosthetic genitals and body parts that immediately replace the beauty of the human form with horror and discomfort. Sherman’s most recent self-portraits target wealthy middle-aged women, who desperately try to overcome age, but clearly fail. The overall effect of Sherman’s work, at least to me, is a questioning of identity. We go so far to make ourselves appear a certain way. Most of Sherman’s characters are incredibly detailed and obscenely staged, but Sherman usually allows the viewer to see right through them. For example, the hypersexualized women are horrifying, rather than attractive. The middle-aged dames, for all their attempts to cover their age, instead accentuate the years that they try to hide. Sherman has a point. We often attempt to create a persona that is not our own. In the Republican primaries, Romney tried his best to appeal to the southern states. At a NASCAR race, Romney was asked if he follows the races. He replied, “not as closely as some of the most ardent fans, but I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners.” Oops. I don’t think average NASCAR fans would be friends with team owners. In another speech, Romney began with, “Mornin’ y’all!” and

continued to talk about his southern breakfast of bacon and “cheesy grits.” Romney is to southern as Velveeta is to cheese; both Romney and Velveeta can mimic the real thing, but it takes a lot of artificial ingredients and manufacturing to make a poor substitute for the original product. But the other candidates played their parts too. Santorum, who grew up in Pennsylvania, suddenly developed a habit of dropping the Gs on words like helpin’ and hostin’. Meanwhile, Gingrich talked about how important grits are and made fun of small, environmentally friendly cars. He also joked that you can’t fit a gun rack in a Volt. But perhaps Romney is on the right track in valuing his appearance. Consciously or unconsciously, we value outer looks far more than we care to admit. In 2005, Princeton researchers showed test participants black and white headshots of the candidates in 95 senate races from 2000, 2002 and 2004. If the participant recognized either of the candidates, the researchers moved on to the next pair of pictures. Participants were asked to choose the winner based solely on the headshots. Surprisingly, the participants were able to accurately
guess the results of the election in 71.6 percent of the races on average. Follow up studies have revealed similar results in more recent senate and gubernatorial races. In addition, taller candidates have a higher likelihood of winning an election. Taller people also tend to make more money, as do more handsome people. But some issues, like the race of a candidate, are so obvious to voters that they make us uncomfortably aware. In my opinion, the minority (but still widespread and ongoing) accusations that Obama is not a citizen, is Muslim and is a Socialist are indicative of deep-seated white fear of a black man holding America’s highest office. No other U.S. presidents have faced such irrational, false, and outrageous rumors, with the possible exception of Kennedy, our first Catholic president. Whether voters recognize their bias or not, voter bias has been prevalent enough to warrant a flurry of research on the subject, particularly in the late 20th century. In California’s 1982 gubernatorial race, the black mayor of Los Angeles, Tom Bradley, was predicted to comfortably defeat his white opponent, George Deukmejian, based on the poll
results before the election. To the surprise of many, Bradley narrowly lost the race. Subsequent elections at various levels of government have repeated the trend, sparking research into the phenomenon. Today, we call this result the Bradley effect. Some political scientists postulate that polled voters are more likely to say that they would vote for the minority candidate out of fear that they would appear racist or not politically correct otherwise. Then, when the voters actually get to the polls, a majority of undecided voters choose the white candidate and some voters switch to the white candidate. Even if we do not want to admit our visual bias, it would seem Sherman has a point. We justly place a high value our appearance, but sometimes, as evidenced Romney’s “southern” guise, we fail to fully hide our authentic selves. Perhaps we should reexamine everything from the way we dress to what we say and how we vote. What exactly are we trying to hide anyway? Paul is the Opinion Editor.

To gain acceptance, conform PAUL KROEGER Opinion Editor pkroeger@smu.edu In the past couple of years, I have been to two Dallas gay pride parades and passed through Divers/ cité, a large gay pride festival in Montreal. I have also seen pictures and heard stories of other pride festivals and parades around North America. The concept behind the events is effective and well intentioned, but not new. Pride parades follow the general trend of mass political activism in America: gather a large group of people with similar values in a public space to draw attention to your cause. Some attendees feel an espirit de corps with previous political movements, such as the civil rights marches in the 1960s. Organizers and participants alike market the events as semi-
political functions. The gatherings are supposed to highlight gay rights, increase the visibility of LGBT organizations and challenges, and generally encourage activism on behalf of the LGBT community. LGBT-oriented businesses advertise and cater to the large number of visitors, and groups like Lambda Legal, a non-profit organization that provides legal support for LGBT rights and those with AIDS, often attend the events. In addition, corporations frequently advertise or fund the events to show support. In this way, I fully support gay pride events. They draw LGBT resources together and encourage activism and societal acceptance. Unfortunately, alcohol, nearly naked men and hyper-sexuality drown the message out. Attend a pride parade, and you will no doubt see many shirtless, often drunk men touching random strangers. Bars
and clubs frequently hire men to stand outside in their underwear or sponsor a float advertising a nightclub with more male models in underwear. In practice, for many of the participants, pride parades are an excuse to get drunk, wear less clothing and be more promiscuous than normal. In effect, this mentality not only negates the positive, activist elements of a pride parade, but is actually detrimental to the cause of gay rights. The effectiveness of any event like a pride parade lies in the visibility of a large number of like-minded people. Therefore, participants in gay rights parades and marches should be more conscious of their behavior, not less. To put it bluntly, gay men are to blame for ruining the message of these events. Instead of calling attention to legal inequality and
social stigmas, gay men highlight the differences in their sexuality and behavior. For some reason, I rarely see lesbian or transgender participants making fools of themselves at pride events. For better or worse, when a minority group wants equal rights and social standing, it has to meet the majority halfway. It is not enough to demand that the government and society accept LGBT people for who they are. If gay men want to be socially accepted, they have to conform to society in highly public events. In their everyday lives, most gay men I know do not act like the men I see at pride parades. If they really do want equality, they need to act the part. Paul is the Opinion Editor.

This was Uptown Players’ tenth production of “Broadway Our Way.” It was also the second production written and directed by Cleveland, who performed in Uptown Players’ first production, “When Pigs Fly,” which opened the weekend after 9/11. This tenth anniversary performance certainly did not disappoint, as the audience guffawed at Cleveland’s riproaring humor throughout the production. Some comedic highlights include the all-male diva ensemble doing “Hey Big Spender” from “Sweet Charity” and the allfemale diva ensemble doing a “Turn It Off ” from “The Book of Mormon,” performed

at a meeting of Women of the Revitalized Mormon Sisterhood (W.O.R.M.S). But for every riotous, entertaining series, there was a sensitive, poignant moment, such as Cleveland’s solo “I’m Still Here” from Follies. The solo exposed not only the history of Uptown Players, but his personal history and career thus far as an actor and director. Highlights of “Broadway Our Way” included Rick Starkweather’s heart-wrenching performance of “Honor of Your Name from “Civil War” and Kayla Carlyle’s strong rendition of “Flying Home” from “Songs for a New World.” Carlyle truly brought the house down. There certainly was never a dull moment and the off-the-wall drag
theater crew. There were two special guest stars that switched off performing: Darius Robinson and Patty Breckenridge. Additionally, the lobby was full of auction prizes such as theater tickets, restaurants gift certificates. A catered reception followed each performance. Next up for Uptown Players is “Silence of the Clams” by Jamie Morris on April 27. This summer, Uptown Players is also bringing to stage Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan’s “The Producers” and “The Divine Sister” by Charles Busche. The Kalita Humphreys Theater is a seven minute drive from campus, so be sure not to miss out what Uptown Players has to offer.

was both a surprise and a kick. The performance was unique, idiosyncratic and wacky. By incorporating gender blending and role reversals with such well-known Broadway classics, “Broadway Our Way” had a striking influence on the audience. The show’s inherent message of individuality, spirit and hope, started with lyrics such as “Let Your Freak Flag Fly” from “Shrek.” The show’s inspiring lyrics made a 360 degree turn by the end of the show by concluding with the well-known “West Side Story lyrics” “There’s a place for us,” which spoke to a wide range of people. This year’s “Broadway Our Way” starred 25 actors/ singers from Uptown Players
