Terror suspect’s trial announced The trial for Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the man charged with the Sept. 11 plot, will be held as a military commission at the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday. The decision marks a sharp political setback for President Obama after his repeated pledges to use civilian courts to try the terrorism suspects as a way to demonstrate the fairness of the U.S. justice system. It also put to rest rumors that the suspects would be moved to the empty Illinois state prison.

U.N. intervenes in Ivory Coast U.N. and French helicopters fired on the weapons sites of Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo Tuesday. Gbagbo has refused to step down since losing the election in November. Opposition forces have surrounded his presidential palace after fighters loyal to elected president Alassane Ouattara, entered the city of Abidjan five days ago. Sources say Gbagbo is now negotiating his surrender.

U.S. drops financial sanction The United States dropped financial sanctions against Musa Kusa, the former Libyan foreign minister and Gaddafi confidant, who defected from the dictator’s regime and fled to London last week. The government hopes that unfreezing Kusa’s bank accounts and allowing him to conduct business deals will lure other top Gaddafi officials into defecting from the regime as well. Relaxing the sanctions has proved to be a sensitive diplomatic decision because of Kusa’s previous implication in a bombing and mass murder.

Boeing 737s to be inspected The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced Monday it will require airlines to conduct further inspections on older-model Boeing 737s. These inspections come after a hole opened in a Southwest Airlines jet Friday and forced an emergency landing. The directive will apply to about 175 aircraft, 80 of which are registered in the U.S., and most of those are operated by Southwest. Boeing said in a statement that it is cooperating with the FAA and will recommend lap-joint inspections on certain 737-series aircraft.

An SMU student participates in “A Day Without Shoes” by going the day without wearing shoes around campus. The event is organized annually by TOMS shoes to promote awareness for the millions of children who do not have shoes in the world.

Students bare ‘soles,’ support TOMS shoes By SARAH KRAMER News Editor skramer@smu.edu

Students bared their ‘soles’ Tuesday as they walked across campus. In an effort to promote awareness for the millions of children who do not have shoes in the world, SMU students joined with other universities, colleges and people nationwide by walking barefoot all day. Junior Lindsay Sockwell has seen children without shoes first hand. In order to spread awareness, she has participated in “One Day Without Shoes” for the past two years. “I spent some time in Zambia last summer and most of the kids either had no shoes or had borrowed illfitting shoes,” she said. “I think it is important for awareness to be raised about this.”

“One Day Without Shoes” started in 2008 as a campus movement. Today, it is recognized globally as companies and other organizations draw attention to the injury and illness resulted from the lack of proper foot wear in developing nations. An estimated four million people suffer from Podoconiosis (Podo), also known as mossy foot, in the world. People contract the disease when silica soil enters the feet and gets into the lymphatic system. Podo is common in tropical climates such as in Africa, Central America and Northern India. For people with Podo, walking is difficult, and sometimes impossible. One pair of shoes can help reduce the number of people affected by this disease.

Laughter filled the Hughes-Trigg Theater as misconceptions about Nigerians and American immigration appeared on the big screen. A small group of community members and SMU students came out Tuesday night for the premiere of Dallas filmmaker Victor Adetipa’s documentary, “Waving Flag.” “The main purpose was just to shed a light on Nigeria, Africa as a whole,” Adetipa said. “The media tends to paint Africa in a negative way, and as a filmmaker I thought it was my

responsibility to show it with a more holistic view.” The film touched on issues of racism, cultural differences and language, or rather, accent barriers. Adetipa interviewed a group of Nigerian immigrants and NigerianAmericans about their experience growing up and moving to the U.S. The African Students Association (ASA) hosted the screening. “We just thought, this is the perfect opportunity to branch between SMU and Dallas,” ASA leader Samira Abderahman said.

Sociologist speaks of revolution in Middle East By JESSICA MEIER Contributing Writer jmeier@smu.edu

Students and professors welcomed Iran sociologist and professor of sociology at Texas Women’s University, Dr. Mahmoud Sadri. Sadri spoke on “Modern Iran and Revolution in the Middle East” Tuesday evening as part of The University Honors Program’s 2011 Gartner Lecture. Sadri began his lecture by giving background information about Iran as well as discussing the current trials and triumphs of the Middle East in

McCord Auditorium. June 13, 2009 marked the beginning of the first civil rights movement in the Middle East, the Green Revolution. Following the 2009 Iranian elections, protests broke out in major Iranian cities and across the world. After a controversial election period and the announcement of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as President, supporters of the opposing candidate, Mir- Hossein Mousavi, took to the streets to protest. Many wore green armbands and attire, reflecting Mousavi’s campaign color and

Islam” as part of the Department of Religious Students Tenth Nate and Anne Levine Endowed Lecture in Jewish Studies Tuesday evening. He used different theological stories and references to portray the similarities in traditional scripture. According to Nirenberg, one scripture has the ability to unite and divide people into an eternal struggle. Nirenberg used the Bible as an example by saying that one verse can be translated different ways and punctuation changes can alter its meaning.

Monday morning was supposed to mark the first day of spring practice but due to intense thunderstorms, practice was canceled. Luckily for Aldrick Robinson and other SMU seniors, the weather cleared up in time for SMU Pro Day, which was held Monday afternoon at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. SMU Pro Day allowed Robinson and company to showcase their skills in front of scouts from across the NFL including the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers and others. The former Mustangs took part in 40-yard dashes, agility drills, shuttles and position drills. “It felt good being out here today,” Robinson said. “It was a little windy and we had kind of a bad weather day but I felt like I did good.” Most scouts on site were present to watch Robinson who is projected to be drafted anywhere from rounds 4-7. As a senior wide receiver at SMU, he recorded 65 receptions for 1,301 yards and 14 touchdowns. Robinson is a tad undersized at 5’9 184 pounds but could easily be an effective NFL slot receiver. After an impressive NFL Combine performance in which he clocked in at 4.43 in the 40, and

Historian believes all scriptures borrow answers, truths By SARAH KRAMER

Student Senate voted to approve two revisions to the Student Code of Conduct at its meeting Tuesday. The first revision says that events and party themes “should reflect the university’s mission in commitment to the dignity and worth of all persons and cultures.” Former Membership Chair Roza Essaw submitted this proposal, which covers Section 3.10 in the student handbook. The Student Code of Conduct Committee changed the wording after Essaw proposed it. The original wording banned events and party themes that were “sexually, racially, religiously or culturally offensive.” Essaw approved the changed

hand, SMU graduate Blake Mycoskie created TOMS Shoes. For every pair of shoes bought, TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. Last year, more than 250,000 people supported this cause by going barefoot. A strong supporter of TOMS, SMU junior McKell Favrot also left her shoes at home. “I love not wearing shoes,” she said. “It’s such a good cause…even though I get lots of stares.” While some went barefoot because of their love of TOMS or because they had seen children suffering first hand, sophomore Albert Huang did it for moral support. Although he hurt his feet walking barefoot, he will still leave his shoes in his closet and bare his feet next year.

Pure burn at Pure Barre

Putting health back into energy bars By KATIE TUFTS

The Dallas sun shone brightly into the Pure Barre studio on Sunday afternoon where a small group of women, young and old, sat patiently on the carpet floor waiting for the class to begin. The studio resembled a ballet studio, with floor to ceiling mirrors on two walls, and ballet bars around the room. The silence soon ended when upbeat, energetic music began to play and the instructor came into the room. The workout started right away and without skipping a beat, I felt a burning sensation in my muscles in the fist two minutes, which would remain there for the lasting 53 minutes of the class. Pure Barre is a 55-minute workout that incorporates ballet and Pilates moves with weights and resistance. “Pure Barre is different from most other workouts because it uses small isometric movements to target deeper muscles as it strengthens and tones,” Caroline Baxter, a Pure Barre instructor, who first started taking the class in college said. The small movements make for a completely different workout from other cardio based workout classes or from playing sports in high school or college.

The Purre Barre studio, 5919 Greenville Ave., offers classes that incorporate ballet and Pilate moves with weights and resistance.

“I was a college soccer player so I had my doubts about how challenging or effective this workout would be. As soon as I took a class I realized how wrong I was. The workout focuses on control of each muscle group leaving the client with much more visible and complete results than many other workout routines,” she said. Pure Barre has been in business since 2001, but it has not always been nationally known. “Pure Barre was founded by dancer, choreographer and fitness guru, Carrie Rezabek. Carrie opened her first studio in 2001 in the basement of an office building in Birmingham, Mich.,” according

to the Pure Barre website. Since 2001, Pure Barre has opened locations across the country, and in Texas, it has one location in Dallas and two in Austin. Though it is not a workout that is heavy in cardio, many like to change up their workouts. “It is a wonderful supplement to many workouts because it targets deeper muscles taking them to complete exhaustion, then stretches the body out adding tone and flexibility,” Baxter said.

The energy bar industry started small with only several kinds of protein packed bars that would give a boost of energy when there was not any time for a meal. Today the choices are endless when choosing what energy bar to grab on the go, but navigating the healthy versus the unhealthy can be harder than people think. Energy bars today can be packed with sugar and calories, even more than a candy bar, but because energy bars are marketed and thought of as healthier than candy, not many people take the time to evaluate the nutrition facts. Many energy bars can also pack more than 200 calories, which can add a lot of unknown calories to a diet without realizing it. However, by simply making energy bars at home, students can know exactly what is going into the bars, save money, and have a great tasting study snack or on the go.

introduction at the March 29 meeting. Sens. Sam Mansfield (Dedman II) and Catherine Essig (AfricanAmerican) both voted against the measures and asked that their vote be recorded in the meeting minutes. Neither Mansfield nor Essig had responded to requests for comments at press time. Both of the approved Student Code of Conduct revisions are available for viewing online at smudailycampus.com. The revisions will now be sent to the President R. Gerald Turner for final approval, according to Student Body Secretary Katie Perkins.

Senate Hears the Future of Student Housing Steve Logan, executive director of Residence Life and Student Housing (RELSH), spoke to Senate about SMU’s housing plans. Logan introduced the residential commons concept to Senate, saying it was a hybrid of different programs from across the country. In this concept, SMU will have faculty living with students in dorms. Logan warned Senate that the plans he presented were still under development and that they could change before they are finally put in place. But he said SMU hopes to have everything completed by 2014. The new dorms would coincide with the addition of a sophomorehousing requirement. According to Logan, SMU is planning to build more dorms in the space currently occupied by the Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports parking lot and the houses behind the SMU-owned Park Cities Plaza.

Those dorms will also include a dining area that functions similar to Umphrey Lee. “Nothing will happen to the stores that are currently in Park Cities Plaza,” Logan said, emphasizing that many still have leases. However, Logan said SMU is planning to do a face-lift of the Plaza. Additionally, SMU is planning to renovate both Perkins Hall and Smith Hall. Another change Logan presented: in the future, SMU will no longer have first-year communities. Logan said the residential commons system favors four-year communities, as it tries to get students to live in the same dorm with the same people for two years. “The philosophy of residential commons is that people will grow” as a community, Logan said. However, Logan said the new residential commons system would not affect the honors program or stop current theme housing. He said SMU’s goal is to preserve those themed communities. The Hilltop Scholars program would be extended to two years. Logan also said that faculty would not be living in Greek houses, although SMU is planning to have faculty do more with Greek students living in the houses as part of the residential commons system.

Former Student Body President Wants to See More School Spirit Former Student Body President Joseph Patterson also spoke to Student Senate, encouraging them to increase school spirit. Patterson was SBP during the 1948-1949 academic year. Patterson was also a football player and head

cheerleader. He has a Bachelor’s, Master’s and a law degree from SMU. “We don’t have school spirit like we had in the past,” Patterson told Senate. Patterson described the lack of school spirit that he has personally seen and described the games as a prayer meeting where you don’t get to pray. Patterson noted that while he was at SMU, the cheerleaders’ main task was to increase school spirit and get students excited about SMU. Additionally, it was Student Senate’s job to oversee the cheerleaders, and in effect, school spirit. Chief of Staff Alex Mace noted that the Union has mainly taken over the role of school spirit and asked Patterson what SMU should do about that. Patterson replied that SMU should make the Union the cheerleaders and give them the task of increasing school spirit. Students are “ready to cheer,” Patterson said, but SMU lacks someone to direct them.

Runoff elections for President and Vice President will be held Wednesday and Thursday.

His brother, Zach Hibdon, and grandfather, Harvey Lacey of Wylie, Texas, are working on their addition to the Lyle Engineering Hunt Institute’s Engineering and Humanity Week, which happens next week. Using a device invented by Lacey, the home is composed of recycled styrofoam and plastic bags, designed for use in third-world countries. In addition to the home they are building, an entire village of small, eco-friendly homes will be constructed as part of the event, which will showcase a variety of shelter technologies that will house people displaced by war and natural disasters.

FLAG: Film panel discusses racism CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The film screening and panel marked ASA’s last event of the year. “Somebody’s finally telling the story of many, many immigrants,” Abderahman said. “We are all human beings no matter what and there are similarities between our stories.” After the film, a panel of four Nigerians spoke to the audience. The panelists weighed in on a variety of topics, offering a critical view of everything from the film’s content to the current situation in Libya.

But, the well-rounded discussion soon turned into a heated debate. The conversation boiled down to the differences between Africans and African-Americans and how they are treated in the United States. Adetipa, who was also running the panel, attempted to defuse the situation. “It’s much deeper than color, just black and white,” Adetipa said. “It’s a people issue. People have a hard time relating to people who don’t come from where they’re from.”

“Translation is not a problem. It’s a principle,” he said. “There are different ways to interpret words in different communities.” To Nirenberg, a medieval historian, history is one of many tools used to reveal new truths for new times from scripture, although “we are not forced to chose between historicism and faith.” “Scripture continues to generate new religions and new understandings,” he said. If everyone converted to Christianity, there would still be different sects, understandings and beliefs because of this changing interpretation. People read scripture and try to relate it to the present. Thus, its meaning is constantly changing. “There will always be false teachers, but who are false and who are true?” he asked. Nirenberg explained that traditional scripture has negative and positives, which make it contradictory and confusing. The negative being that no traditional scripture has the answer. Yet, at the same time, every scripture has the answer. Scriptures take to each other through the process of translation, Nirenberg said. Truths are borrowed from each scripture, thus there are many similarities among religions. According to Nirenberg, one must learn to read scripture in a way to come to an understanding, rather than searching for a truth. Nancy Sigel, who frequents the Levine Lectures, thought Nirenberg’s lecture was enlightening. “We would probably be more tolerant if we realized they (these religions) are similar,” she said.

Middle East is in ‘refolution’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

the symbolic color of the movement. Sadri said, “They believed their most basic rights had been stolen. Their hopes for reform were shattered.” “Throughout the 21st century, especially within the past two years, we have seen things that none of us would expect to see,” Sadri said in reference to the events surrounding the Green Revolution. After showing photographs of Iran under protest, Sadri posed the question, “What is going on in the Middle East? It is neither reform, nor revolution. It is a refolution.” The term refolution was first coined in the 1990s, meaning radical, negotiated change. Sadri said, “A refolution is the current and necessary

means to reform Iran.” Sagri states, “This movement has a democratic impulse with civil rights at the forefront.” He continues by saying, “It has a strange odyssey of notion. When the government says don’t do it. We are ready to get in the streets and have them take us to the cemetery. We are sick and tired of having the same president for 30 years.” Many refer to the Green Revolution as the “Twitter Revolution.” Protesters relied heavily on Twitter and other social networking sites to rapidly communicate, share information and coordinate rallies during the time of protests. “While all of this was going on, the government was unaware. They

had no idea the potential it had,” Sadri said. The Green Revolution remains the first event to be broadcasted world wide through social media. He then explained what was next for Iran saying, “I consider myself a cynical optimist. I see things in the long run working out for Iran. The future belongs to the young people and the young people are not giving up.” Sophomore Siena Beacham thought the lecture was “an eye-opener,” “It was great to have such a distinguished man come and speak on the happenings of the revolution to students who have next traveled to the Middle East before and may not be aware of everything going on,” she said.

EDITORIAL

Education in prisons lowers recidivism

The Daily Campus

One body, one mind: now is the time for students and senators to work together COMMENTARY

Where much is given much is definitely expected, so it would be false if I said Student Senate was Shana Ray perfect and there was no room for improvement. However, to say that senators fail to represent their constituents seems far-fetched, unfair and a lie. Attending weekly meetings, hosting office hours and sitting on Senate committees happen to be a select few of the ways we actively spread the voice of the student body. When I vote, whether it be to charter an organization or to pass legislation, I make sure that it is in line with our by laws, governing documents and code of conduct, but most importantly, I always consider the viewpoints and opinions of my constituents. My job includes representing my constituents in the most positive light possible while making sure their concerns are heard and met. I am not in Senate to serve my own self-interest; however, I was elected to be the voice for all of Meadows. Disconnect typically tends to not be one-sided and is normally caused by multiple reasons. I am one student selected to serve about 300 students, so it becomes almost impossible to

personally reach out to each and every one of them. I love what I do and I am passionate about Senate and the effect it has on this campus, but I do not know of many students who are not involved with Senate who feel the same. Many students do not know the important impact Student Senate has on this campus. Besides getting chartered status or trying to receive funding, most students never come in contact with senators or chair members. We constantly ask people to come to speakers’ podium or share their concerns at town hall meetings, and each time we end up with little or no response from the student body. On several occasions students have even complained about receiving the weekly minutes of each meeting, which serves to give a breakdown of exactly what happened during our meeting. Again, I am not putting the blame on the students of SMU; however, I am simply stating that there needs to be more of a give and take relationship between senators and their constituents. I do not agree with the idea of senators showing all sorts of concern for the body they serve during election time in order to get votes. I believe that election time should set the precedence of what the student body can expect for the year to come. As senators, we should make sure that we keep the same attitude and

enthusiasm we previously displayed throughout our entire term in senate. There is no reason why any student on SMU’s campus should not know who represents him or her. The senators and the students should make it their priority to know who they will serve in the fall as well as what individual to elect on their behalf. The time is now for SMU as a whole to simply acknowledge our mistakes and begin to fix them. You have to become the change you want to see in the world, meaning if you perceive a problem, it is up to you to solve it. We spend too much time relaxing and not reacting. Together we can unite as one force and take our campus back. Senators, get to know who you represent and what they want from you, and students, it is time you ask more questions and expect more than just a shiny poster with red and blue. Let your voice truly be heard. We have both worked together to create a problem of disconnect, but today I challenge each and every one of you to work together so that we can become unified as one. We all bleed red and blue, so SMU, lets come together and pony up this campus. Shana Ray is a sophomore communications studies major. She is also a Meadows Senator.

Short-sighted budget cuts ignore positive results POLITICS EDITOR

Johnny Cash’s croons once famously echoed from the cafeteria of California’s Folsom Prison. The surprise concert brought national attention to Folsom, shedding light upon its successful rehabilitation programs that turned out reformed citizens. But things have changed for California. Recidivism rates that were once the lowest in the country are now skyrocketing, and the prisons sit Jessica Huseman in disrepair. The culprit? Budget cuts. Texas prisons have never reached the star status of California’s glory days. Our rehabilitation programs are limited and our recidivism rate is lousy. But there is one thing that these old-fashioned lawmakers let slip through the cracks of the prison doors: education. However budget cuts could now be our downfall, too. Meet the Windham School District, which only operates inside prisons and offers General Education Development programs and vocational learning classes. This program has stemmed the recidivism rate from a stunning 75 percent for inmates who did not participate to a much lower 29 percent for those who did. But that beacon may be dimming fast, especially if you listen to such legislators as Sen. Florence Shapiro who said in a hearing on March 17 that Windham is the “biggest waste of money I’ve ever seen.” Shapiro is simply demonstrating what many Texas legislators have displayed in the last several weeks of proposed budget slices: a complete lack of foresight. What Shapiro is not taking into consideration is the outstanding cost that the state incurs when it has to put someone in prison. The $117 million that Texas spends on prison education is pocket change when compared with the millions it spends on keeping people in prison in the first place. Right now, Texas sets prisoners loose having learned nothing and still assuming crime is the most profitable life option. Because of this, Texas eventually spends millions on their return to the pin. Education and vocational programs change this pattern. Instead of turning prisoners loose having lost years of their lives, those years have been spent learning valuable information they can turn into careers. Shapiro clearly doesn’t see the benefit these people could provide. She, like many employers who do not see past the “felon” check on former prisoners’ applications, downgrades them as less than human by assuming they are unworthy of education and the subsequent salvation it could bring. It is a recent phenomenon that prison is seen as only punishment without rehabilitation. Like Folsom, prisons used to be a place where those that had strayed from the path could renew their life and learn a trade so they could turn their backs on crime. Now, because of people like Shapiro, prisons are simply holding cells to keep people from committing crimes for a short time before unleashing them back into society. It is time for representatives like Shapiro to look deeper into issues like this, and see the far-reaching implications that go beyond the money we may spend on them. It is time to help teach prisoners to—sing with me—“Walk the line.” Jessica Huseman is a junior political science and journalism double major.

Response to “To SMU community: Sincere apology” By SPECTRUM

Contributing Writer

An Open Letter To Charles McCaslin: Your voice can now be heard all over the internet bragging about hooking up with a young woman and using deplorable anti-gay hate speech to refer to your enemies. When Spectrum, SMU’s LGBT+Allies organization, heard these remarks, we chose to respond. We hope that you (and the rest of the SMU community that has been impacted by your harsh words) take the time to listen to our voices by reading this letter that has been compiled from several letters written by members of Spectrum and WIN. - Melissa Michael, Co-President of Spectrum Dear Charles McCaslin, To some, this may be just another video of a drunk guy saying more than he should have, but to us, this is a representation of everything we are fighting against: inequality. No matter where you are, you will always represent your sex, gender, generation, political party, community, and your school. Your harsh words have put the SMU community at risk, as well as contributed to the perpetuation of various systems of

oppression beyond our university’s walls. Your comments show a sense of ignorance and a lack of awareness that, especially as a Hunt Scholar, recognized for your qualities of leadership, should not exist. SMU already has the stigma of being overly conservative, intolerant, and homophobic. As many people and organizations all over campus are fighting against these negative stereotypes, comments and public expressions of immaturity like yours are pushing back progress and greatly affecting the prestigious image of our university. In your “formal apology” that was printed in the Daily Campus on April 1st, you dealt primarily with your image and the impact you had on the College Republican community, rather than focusing on those whom you have actually offended. We do not tolerate the degradation of women as sex objects whom you “hook up” with, the bashing of those who put great emphasis on their studies, or those who do not identify as heterosexual. It is clear from your apology that you still maintain your homophobic and sexist beliefs. This is unacceptable. Your words are not the words of the SMU community and we applaud

everyone in the College Republicans organization and at SMU that have denounced the things you said as inappropriate and objectionable. Spectrum, the Women’s Center, and the SMU community as a whole are accepting of people at this university, regardless of how they identify or are perceived. It is our hope that everyone on this campus feels that they are part of an environment where they are safe to express themselves and never have to encounter comments like those you made so carelessly and callously. The National Day of Silence is coming up. We hope that you will join us on April 15th in standing up against derogatory language and intolerance by being silent for one day and truly making the effort to understand the people – people just like you – whom your words have impacted. - Spectrum Spectrum is a chartered student organization that seeks to provide a safe haven where people of all sexual orientations and gender identities can openly express their experiences and thoughts about LGBT issues on campus and beyond. Melissa Michael is the President of Spectrum and can be reached for comments or questions at mmichael@smu.edu.

Go wireless for that perfect match(.com) COMMENTARY

My friends and I were talking at lunch recently and pondered the question, “Where are Michael Graves all the good guys?” The entire group agreed that it was so difficult to meet potential “significant others” around campus, and when we did, they all end up being a bad match. We wished that people would just wear signs around their necks that posted their interests, pet peeves and favorite things so we could browse around and pick who we wanted to get to know. Then it dawned on me. We already have that. Online dating has grown popular in recent years and isn’t dying off. Not only are people joining E-Harmony, Okcupid, Grindr, Match and others, they’re solely relying on those sites to meet people in their areas. I’ll even admit that several of my dates have come from people browsing through Facebook, starting a conversation, and us hitting it off. From the outside it seems creepy, superficial and downright odd. But for millions of people, online is the new Friday night hang-out spot. I have never been one to join an online dating site. For me, the popular options seem to be Grindr, Manhunt and the like. The name enough scares me away. However, I have plenty of friends on these sites that say they’ve met some of the best people and remain friends with many of their first dates. I just wonder what happened to asking someone out in person? If anything, I would respect someone who walked up to me and introduced themselves instead of “winking” at me online. Even more, I would hope that someone else would have respect for me if I did the same for them. Online dating seems to have skewed our perception of appropriate dating etiquette. I have more friends tell me that they think it’s weird for a guy or girl to start a conversation with them while in line for food or at the store than it is for someone to add them on Facebook and start chatting there. Are we all just completely against taking a stand and building the courage to walk up to someone, face-to-face, and flat out introduce ourselves to see if things could work out? For college students, it can be different. Fraternities and sororities have mixers and gatherings. Different clubs regularly meet and many people eat together around campus every day. In those places, bonds can be made, and it is less awkward to go up to someone you see all the time and talk to them. However, once you move off campus, start to work, or even get tired of the campus dating scene, where do you go? Society says online. I wish we would keep it organic. I think we have crossed a line that we can’t cross over again. If well over a third of relationships are starting online (and that number is quickly growing), the chances of people meeting face-to-face are diminishing. What’s a guy or girl to do? Time to get the camera out, clean off the mirror, strike a pose and hope for the best. We’re back to Myspace pics, folks. The man or woman of your dreams is waiting just behind URL number one.

WOMEN’S GOLF

SMU places 13th behind Espericueta By JENNIFER BUNTZ Associate Sports Editor jbuntz@smu.edu

This past weekend the SMU women’s golf team traveled to Oxford, Miss. to participate in the Rebel Intercollegient Tournament. The Mustangs finished with 925 and fell just short of coming in ninth place. The tournament consisted of 54 holes and three rounds played over a course of three days. Sixteen teams participated in the event including four C-USA rivals, which included University of

Tulsa, University of Central Florida, Southern Mississippi, and Memphis. Amongst those teams three of the four placed ahead of SMU. Tulsa came in second, Southern Miss sixth, and UCF 12th. The tournament champion was Tennessee with 863 and second place was Tulsa with 893. Mississippi, the host of the tournament, finished fourth and had three of their five players finish in the top six. Individual champion was Meghan Chapman of Tulane with 224. In an individual play for the

Mustangs, Felicia Espericueta finished the weekend with 227 to come in 29th and Elizabeth Wells was not too far behind her with 228 to put her in at 34th place. Maria Elena Villamil, Melanie White and Caitlin Pisciotta also participated. This was the Mustangs fourth spring tournament and their next one is in Waco, Texas for the Baylor Invitational. After the Baylor tournament will be the Conference Championships in Gulf Shores, Ala. and will be the conclusion of the 2010-2011 season.

NFL scouts compare time results from a shuttle drill that SMU senior football members participated in Monday afternoon at SMU Pro Day.

PRO DAY: Robinson projected to go in late rounds of NFL Draft CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

benched 225 pounds 17 times and had a 40-inch vertical jump, Robinson decided to bypass every thing at SMU Pro Day except the position drill portion. “I felt like I had a good combine and my numbers were good,” Robinson said. “I didn’t want to come out here today and have worse times so I decided to stay with the good combine times.” During position drills, Robinson displayed the great route running and solid hands that NFL scouts came to see. Robinson also fielded punts and believes he can make an immediate contribution to any NFL team. “I think I can make a big impact with any NFL team I go to,” he said. “I’m a good receiver and I can also play a part on special teams. I feel like when a team gets me, they will get someone who can contribute as a receiver and be a good kick and punt returner.” One of Robinson’s biggest influences is former teammate

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

Emmanuel Sanders, who set receiving records at SMU and was drafted in the third round of last year’s NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders finished his rookie campaign with 28 receptions for 376 yards and two touchdowns along with 628 kick return yards as he helped lead Pittsburgh to Super Bowl XLV. “Emmanuel [Sanders] was a hard worker and did everything right,” Robinson said. “Just by looking at him work, you could see what he wanted to be. When I looked at Sanders I found out I wanted to go the NFL too so I just though about he did and did what he did to get here.” Robinson leaves SMU as the only Mustang with two 1,000 yard seasons and holds the school record for most touchdown receptions in single season. “SMU was a fun experience,” Robinson said. “It will be something I never forget. I made a lot of friendships, had good coaching and it prepared me for the next level.” Cornerback Sterling Moore is

another possible NFL prospect that could fit the mold of former SMU cornerback Bryan McCann, who went undrafted last year but caught on with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. McCann’s 2010 season included 15 tackles, an interception that was returned 101 yards for a touchdown and a 97 yard punt return for a score that earned him Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week. Despite missing six games due to injury, Moore posted 24 tackles, one interception which returned for a touchdown and 10 pass deflections. At Pro Day, Moore skipped out on all shuttle drills but ran a 4.55 in the 40 and also had a 34 inch vertical jump. Also partaking in SMU Pro Day were seniors Youri Yenga, Pete Fleps, Chris Butler, Patrick Fleming, Matt Szymanski, Bennie Thomas and Mickey Dollens. The 2011 NFL Draft is slated to begin on April 28 at 7 p.m. on ESPN and will run through April 30.

Mustangs fall to No. 23 Fighting Irish By JENNIFER BUNTZ Associate Sports Editor jbuntz@smu.edu

SMU lost to University of Notre Dame Sunday in Indiana 6-1. This was their 20th match of the season and their first loss in the past 11 match ups. The Mustangs were coming off wins from University of Illinois-Chicago and Oklahoma State, winning both matches 6-1. This loss to Notre Dame puts them at 14-6 for the season. The Mustangs won the doubles point over the Irish. The duo of Joseph Hattrup and Tobias Flood defeated Spencer Talmadge and Niall Fitzgerald 8-3 at line one. Adham el-Effendi

Mustangs finish fourth over weekend By JOHN BONADELLE Staff Writer jbonadelle@smu.edu

The SMU women’s rowing team competed in the San Diego Crew Classic this past weekend against some of the nation’s best rowing crews. The Classic boasted a lineup that featured every Pac10 varsity team and seven other Division One teams from around the country. Despite the stiff competition and large field, the Mustangs returned to Dallas with three sixth place finishes

and an event high fourth place finish on Saturday. It only took SMU 7:04.06 to finish their Saturday race which was only 20 seconds behind fellow Conference USA foe and first place finisher Tulsa. SMU’s second race Saturday, the varsity two qualifier, took the Mustangs 7:15.57 to cross the finish line to place sixth. The crew was able to improve their time in their third and final race on Saturday with a time of 7:11.43 which was also a sixth place finish. Additionally the Women’s petite team

finished the course Sunday morning with a time of 7:10.57. The Women’s crew team will travel to Oak Ridge, Tenn. to compete in the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships on April 16-17. The regatta will have teams from the SEC, ACC, C-USA and various other teams from southern conferences. Notable competitors will be Alabama, Duke, Georgia Tech and Texas.

Rich characters give Deep Ellum Arts Festival ‘Lady’ strong footing signals breath of life By ERIN GILMORE Contributing Writer egilmore@smu.edu

By LAUREN SMART A&E Editor lsmart@smu.edu

WaterTower Theatre’s entry into the DFW Horton Foote Festival is an excellent rendition of “The Traveling Lady.” Written in 1954, this is the oldest work being staged by one of the professional theater companies in town, but the play is brought to life by touching performances from the entire cast. This is the story of Georgette Thomas who has newly arrived in town with her daughter Margaret Rose to meet her husband Henry in his hometown of Harrison, Texas (a fictional town often used to depict Foote’s actual hometown of Wharton). Henry has just been released from the state penitentiary after Georgette spent the past six years working to earn the money for his pardon. While searching for Henry, Georgette and Margaret Rose are immediately loved and taken in by Slim Murray and his sister Clara Breedlove, along with a host of the town’s women. As is usually the case in homecoming stories, Henry has ghosts in his closet that he has told Georgette nothing about — although you begin to wonder how long she’s been living in denial. One of the town’s matriarchs Mrs. Tillman has taken Henry in with the hope of reforming him, and he appears to have created a crystalclear image of repentance to keep her happy. There is a strong sense of family and community created by the Clara, Mrs. Tillman and their neighbors the Mavis’ that is charming and comforting, in a lemonade-on-the-front-porch way. Dorothy Deavers gives an amusing performance as the elderly, forgetful Mrs. Mavis, who sneaks around the town at all hours of the night. Lisa

The annual Deep Ellum arts festival was held the weekend of April 1-3. Between the streets of Hall and Good-Latimer, artists displayed their creations as viewers strolled tent-totent. Upon arriving at the festival, it seemed as if Deep Ellum had opened up its doors for some family-fun, clashing with its normal unwritten rules of edgy “Adult-Only.” It was noticeable that there were less local artists, yet this was definitely made up through the talent. The clubs and restaurants boomed with excitement, along with three music stages and a local club D.J. who kept the mood alive. This steered the festival away from what initially felt like the State Fair. The range of experience was definitely large, with artists who had

MARK ORISTANO/WaterTower Theatre

Misty Venters and Aubrey Hanson star in “The Traveling Lady” onstage at WaterTower Theatre through May 1.

Fairchild balances Deavers with her performance of Sitter Mavis, the wideeyed middle aged daughter always chasing after her mother. Allyn Carrell as Clara and Nancy Sherrard as Mrs. Tillman round out the Harrison women, with performances that are both genuine and distinct in tone from one another.

Misty Venters and Scott Venters capture the heart of an uncomfortable situation with appropriate depth. And even if the ending seems rather trite for such a touching story, the play is an exceptional example of Foote done well. For more information visit watertowertheatre.org.

been creating for a little over four years alongside others with up to fourteen years of experience. Artist John P. Irizarry began his journey after finding a canvas in an attic five years ago. Irizarry works with various mediums from a simple brush to barbecue tongs. His works reflect the first half of his life spent living in New York City, but the dynamic of his Texas experience influence his paintings, as well. Vibrant buildings bend and sway, along with abstract pieces that are nearly able to yell out to anyone. Down the street was Darren E. Minke with breathtaking stain paintings and vibrant digital art. Making art for 12 years, Minke’s stain paintings bled beauty with the deepest emotion seeping through the cracks. The fact that Minke’s digital art was created through computer seemed impossible, as the pieces definitely displayed the cross-over of art that has

been seen a lot throughout the past 20 years. Minke’s “Quetzacoatl” was creative, impressive and a beautiful collaboration of Minke’s talents. Being a reflection of Dallas, and how far the city can go to be considered seriously metropolitan, Deep Ellum is definitely part of that recipe. Deep Ellum has been a staple in Dallas, no matter how deep its slump has gone the past decade. The arts festival proves that one can still find Deep Ellum breathing. An SMU alum was found wandering the festival, and this time, he found a new feel in the old neighborhood. “I feel like this is a great mix of old Deep Ellum and new cosmopolitan Dallas,” Ken Montgomery said. This new recipe for revival could give Deep Ellum a new start for future visitors, artists and Dallas-ites.
