Co-anchor for ABC News “Good Morning America” Robin Roberts spoke at SMU for the Tate Lecture Series: The Ebby Halliday Companies Lecture on Tuesday, April 7.
“Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts speaks at Tate Shabnam Amini Contributing Writer samini@smu.edu As 8 p.m. approached on Tuesday night, the McFarlin Auditorium began to fill up with students, staff, and Dallas residents all in attendance to see Robin Roberts, co-anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” as a part of the sold out Tate Lecture Series at SMU. Roberts was introduced to the stage by R. Gerald Turner, President of Southern Methodist University. “I just want you to get to know me a little bit better than what you see in the mornings,” said Roberts. “I am just a humble little pigtailed girl from Mississippi.” Roberts talked about her childhood
experiences and said the key to her success was her parents. While being the youngest of four children, her parents taught her the fundamentals of her life which included the “three D’s.” “Determination, Drive, and ‘Da Lord,’” said Roberts. “I am so grateful they instilled that in all four of us.” Roberts fought a battle with breast cancer after being diagnosed in 2007. Five years later she was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and underwent a bone marrow transplant. Her story triggered a 1,800-percent spike in donors joining the Be The Match registry. “The day I announced on television that I had cancer, I slept like a baby that night,” said Roberts. “I felt all the prayers and blessings of my well wishers.” One of the reasons Roberts said she
loves to accept opportunities like speaking at the Tate Lecture Series is to say “thank you” for the good messages and prayers at the times she really needed them. Prior to the lecture, there was a Tate Lecture Reception, dinner and photo opportunity held in the Mack Ballroom which brought together Dallas residents, SMU Faculty, and SMU Hunt Leadership Scholars. “After the picture, we had a little extra time and a bunch of us got to talk to her about her job,” said Meredith Carey, Hunt Scholar. “She was super nice and funny and gave us advice about being journalists.” Roberts continued to talk about her influences and how her job inspires her everyday. “I like to see what other people are doing and it is very important to stay true
to who you are,” said Roberts. Roberts recalled getting to talk to a sanitation worker who was doing great things with the homeless, and another story where a family had fostered 92 children. She believes it’s important to put a spotlight on people like that. “I really enjoyed listening to her,” said Perrin Griffin, Mechanical Engineering major and SMU President’s Scholars. “Her authenticity really draws you in, it felt like she was really talking to me as opposed to just giving a lecture.” Roberts ended the night with a piece of advice to the SMU students in the audience. “Be the leading lady or the leading man in your own life story, don’t be a supporting actor,” said Roberts. “It’s your life, its your life story, figure out who you want to be and get yourself to that happy ending.”

The Cedars Art Union caters, nurtures upcoming Dallas artists Madeleine Kalb Contributing Writer mkalb@smu.edu Located just five minutes south of downtown Dallas lays a small and often forgotten neighborhood known as the Cedars. The Cedars is an obscure dwelling in South Dallas that is home to many artists and creative-minded people due to its abundance of inexpensive loft and studio space. Residents of this neighborhood believe it to be a hidden gem of Dallas because of the small population and close proximity to popular neighborhoods like Deep Ellum, Lakewood, and downtown. The Cedars, however, will shortly begin attracting much attention from the Dallas community for being home to the cities first artists’ union. The Cedars Union is a nonprofit organization by the Bowdon Foundation that seeks to grow and nurture the Dallas arts community beginning in early 2016. “It was painful looking for a building. We searched in the Design District and downtown but we kept hearing about The Cedars, it’s where you need to be. It’s all about the arts,” the Cedars Union Executive Director Robert Hernandez said. The 40,000-sq/ft historical building
that the Bowdon Foundation acquired for the union in October 2014 is located at 1201 South Ervay Street and will offer its members access to non-readily available equipment, entrepreneur training, and studio space. The mission behind the union, according to Hernandez, will be to cater to and to nurture underground and upcoming Dallas “creatives.” “It’s about giving artists the tools and resources so they can go the next level,” Hernandez said. Ken and Bobby Bowdon, of the Bowdon Foundation, contacted and hired Hernandez to direct the Cedars Union after experiencing their own children’s struggle to develop careers in the arts after college. Hernandez said that the Bowdons noted the lack of resources and opportunity available for all artists, not just post-graduates in Dallas. They believe that the Union can bridge the gap and provide resources that will help artists make a business out of their craft and have a stronger influence in the Dallas community. “This is not just a challenge for the recent art school graduates but it is also a challenge for the accomplished artists,” Hernandez added. Hernandez began his career in a radically different field; he said his ultimate
involvement in the non-profit sector was actually by accident. Hernandez, a San Antonio native, was a trained classical pianist turned Wall Street finance executive until he became burned out and returned to Texas. Upon his return, he got involved in market research for non-profits and stayed in the industry because he really liked making an impact in the community. “I am not an artist, I am simply an advocate for the arts,” Hernandez explained. On Hernandez’ team is his project manager Ben Griffith, who is a somewhat nomad of the arts community; dabbling in all realms of the art world such as tattoo design, sketching, and theatre set design/ construction. Hernandez and Griffith may come from different backgrounds, but together they make a great team over their shared passion for the organization they have grown from the ground up. The Cedars Union will be composed of five program components: studio space/ macro studio space, tools and equipment, international and local resident artist programs, entrepreneurial workshops, and a job bank. Griffith noted that the union will offer ceramics, woodworking, metalworking, and jewelry facilities, but they also intend to provide a performance studio,
fabrication, a recording room, a green room, computer lab, textiles, paint, and hopefully anything else a union member might need to be successful. The Cedars Union has already put their foot in the door with local universities such as the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University. Hernandez believes programs such as those at SMU to be a natural place for them to create a presence. “You have a lot of great minds in these institutions and you have some really dynamic instructors and really dynamics administrators within the institution and we want to bring all of that great synergy here,” Hernandez said. The Cedars Union would be a great place for an SMU Meadows post-grad to begin the process of monetizing their art and craft. Griffin noted that in addition to SMU, they have made connections with other local universities such as UT Arlington and UT Dallas. “I think it wouldn’t just benefit me it would benefit all of us as a group. A union will help us become better artists collectively as well as help us get business and make money,” University

The judges of ‘The Voice’ have their work cut out for them olivia nguyen Managing Editor qonguyen@smu.edu On Feb. 23 millions of Americans tuned into NBC to watch the season premiere of “The Voice.” The show’s eighth season brought back Christina Aguilera, reuniting the female vocalist with voice coach Adam Levine and Blake Shelton from season one. The premiere also debuted new coach, singer and producer Pharrell Williams. After eight seasons, it may seem that the obnoxious button pressing, nauseating chair spinning and sassy banter between Levine and Shelton would bore viewers. But with the immense amount of talent this season, viewers can’t turn away as coaches pick and steal contestants to form their teams for the live shows. Five contestants per coach are selected to go through the lives.
Normally by now viewers have a solid idea of who will win it all; however, with each team having at least two strong vocalists and performers, the contest is truly up in the air. The following is a list I’ve compiled about the strongest two contestants for Team Christina, Pharrell, Adam and Blake. This list is based off of my opinion. Team Christina: India Carney Carney is a powerhouse. After getting a four-chair turn for her audition “New York State of Mind,” Carney has continued to impress the coaches and audience. Her musical background has definitely paid off: Carney attended a performing arts high school where she was classically trained in opera and is a senior at UCLA’s prestigious classical music program. Her technique, range and emotional capability makes her
a standout on Team Xtina. Rob Taylor Taylor might just have a higher falsetto than Adam Levine himself and he’s owning it. The strength behind his falsetto and ability to reach such high notes then drop to a lower register has wowed coaches. Taylor’s control with his voice comes from years of singing in church choir. In addition to control, Taylor’s passion is extremely evident onstage. The passion behind his performances has been attributed to making his mother proud and his chance to become a professional singer.
him a four-chair turn in under two minutes. The fifteen-yearold plans to bring soul and blues to “The Voice,” and we must say he’s been doing incredibly well so far. Mia Z Another young artist, Mia Z, is a third generation singer in her family. Her mother inspired her to become a blues singer, and at only fifteen, she’s managed to hit notes that in the words of Blake Shelton, “even bees can’t hit that note.” Her unusual tone, vocal maturity and range defies what singers, especially not her age, can do.
Team Pharrell:
Team Adam:
Sawyer Fredericks In my opinion, Fredericks will be the winner of season 8. The melancholy tone, grit and artistry he possesses can’t be copied. Fredericks’ rendition of “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow” got
Joshua Davis Davis is an underdog this season. Possessing a strong voice with raspy tendencies (in the best way possible), Davis is almost incapable of performing poorly. Pharrell Williams stated after

India Carney, part of team Christina, has an impressive vocal power.
Deanna Johnson Johnson should be called “the comeback kid.” After audition for the blinds in Season 5 with no chairs turned, Johnson came back three years later to get a whopping four-chair turn. Her strong, distinct tone resembles singers Florence and The Machine and even Cher at times. Johnson’s redemption has led her all the way to lives, and I doubt she plans to stop there. Team Blake: Sarah Potenza When you think of the word “rocker,” Potenza is exactly what comes to mind. She brings edge, a raspy yet cutthroat tone

his blind performance, “Tone, control and character- A+, A+, A.”He brings all kinds of rockballads and classics to “The Voice.” With Coach Adam’s guidance, Davis could be the next rocker alongside Levine.
Meghan Linsey Linsey and her coach go way back – she opened for Shelton about ten years ago on tour. From there, she’s toured on her own doing country music. However, she wanted to go back to her roots by bringing some blues to country. The emotion, spunk and ferociousness she brings during her performances got her a threechair turn which later led to a steal for Shelton. Linsey is an artist that can’t be turned down or turned away from.

and such strength in her voice that she immediately brings you off your seat to stand and cheer for her in the crowd. As an older contestant she has a lot more experience not only in music. Potenza always manages to entertain the audience whilst giving everything she has. Her four-chair turn proves that she has the skills and capability to win this season.

New films hitting theaters to look out for this April will kastner Contributing Writer wkastner@smu.edu On the cusp of the Summer movie season, April usually has some good movies, but most of these movies are overshadowed by the big releases that follow close behind. This April is no different. Yet, while movies such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Pitch Perfect 2 are preparing for their box office splash, there are some intriguing films in April
that you may want to look in to. The following are just four of a number of compelling films coming out this month.
However, when he gets there, he finds out that one of his sons is not dead but has been taken as a prisoner of war.
The Water Diviner: An Australian farmer (Russell Crowe), with an uncanny ability to find water in the desert, is devastated when he hears news that his three sons have been killed in a war in Turkey. He travels to Turkey in order to find his sons’ bodies and bury them at home.
Child 44: Set in the Stalin-era Soviet Union, A military police officer (Tom Hardy) uncovers a series of child murders that have been overlooked by the state. When his knowledge of the murders becomes public, the government claims such crimes do not happen,
and exile him. He is left to find the serial killer with only his wife’s assistance. Though Tom Hardy’s Russian accent is unbearably close to his now-famous Bane voice, this movie looks to be extremely entertaining. Ex Machina: A young programmer working for the largest internet company in the world wins the opportunity to visit the reclusive CEO of the company. When he arrives at his
employer’s hidden estate, he finds that he was actually chosen to be a participant in an experiment testing the most advanced A.I. systems known. The A.I. has been installed into a seemingly beautiful robot. However, as he develops feelings for this robot, she tells him that everything his employer says is a lie. True Story: Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill), a recently-fired journalist looking
for work, receives a news that Chirstian Longo (James Franco), an FBI Most Wanted individual, had been living under Finkel’s name for some time. When Finkel visits Longo in prison, Longo promises to reveal every detail of his story, but only to Michael. Michael begins to spend a lot of time with Longo. However, when people close to Michael begin to think that Longo is using him as part of a bigger plan, his life begins to collapse.

The Giddy-Up program is intended to help promote safety on campus by providing safety escorts.
Giddy-Up program problems to be solved with new app VICTORIA SERRANO Contributing Writer vserrano@mail.smu.edu After a long night of studying in the library, SMU sophomore Katie Smith now faces the long walk alone in the dark to her dorm on the opposite side of campus. This isn’t the optimal choice, as she fears for her safety. She decides to call Giddy-Up for a ride home. The phone rings and rings and rings until it is forwarded to Giddy-Up’s answering machine. She hangs up and calls again. Once again, the call is sent to voicemail. Defeated, Smith braves the voyage home. Walking at a brisk pace, she spots Giddy-Up golf carts. Some are empty and some are carrying two to three passengers. She even spots three guys riding another. She’s left puzzled and annoyed with the Giddy-Up service. This is a common scenario experienced by many students at SMU. Giddy-Up is an on-campus security escort service that offers free rides to students across SMU’s campus. Five drivers chauffeur students every evening from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., with one dispatcher who fields all of the incoming calls. On weekdays there are two daytime drivers available to help students. “The Giddy-Up program is intended to help promote safety on campus by providing safety escorts,” Director of SMU Parking and ID Services Mark Rhodes explains. “If you are in a situation on campus where you are concerned about your personal safety or if you have a mobility issue (can’t walk due to illness or injury) the Giddy-Up service is intended for you.” “The people on the cart are usually friendly and I feel safe on campus because I don’t have to walk alone,” SMU sophomore Ashlee Queathem said. SMU Giddy-Up supervisor and dispatcher Romeo Hart answers all of the incoming calls while also driving a golf cart himself. With over 100 incoming calls an hour, Hart is not able to answer all of them.
“That phone is chirping all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time. [There’s] not time to return calls, [nor] time to [return] messages or anything like that,” Parking and Giddy-Up Services supervisor Richard Holloway said. “There are only a few Giddy-Up drivers available at one time to serve [an] entire campus, and people should only request rides when they truly need them,” Rhodes said. Students’ impatience and misuse of the service also contributes to this problem. According to Hart, the time consumption of Giddy-Up is often overlooked. “Some people call and not even two minutes have passed by and they say, ‘Hey, can I get a Giddy-Up? I just called for a Giddy-Up, where is it?’ And when you get there, [the student] is still not outside.” “The most frustrating part [about my job] would be on nights where I feel like students take advantage of Giddy-Up. They want a ride from Boaz to Cox School of Business, which is like literally next to each other,” Hart said. Many aspects of the system need to be improved, including students’ proper use of the service and a more efficient dispatch service. A solution to the latter problem will hopefully be solved in the near future with the upcoming release of a Giddy-Up app. “We wanted to create something to improve safety and convenience for students. This was an area where we could have an impact,” Giddy-Up app developers and SMU juniors Tom Kennedy and Patrick Leopard said. “Efficiency is what Giddy-Up lacks today, and makes it inconvenient and difficult for students to use.” Kennedy and Leopard’s main focus has been on improving the dispatching system. The Uberlike app will feature a ride request system that will notify the student of the cart’s arrival and simplify the process as a whole. The Giddy-Up app will be available for download this summer.
Over the past year, SMU has continued working on its Operational Excellence for the 2nd Century (OE2C) initiative to increase savings and streamline operations throughout SMU’s campus. SMU announced Thursday that it will use some of these savings to increase the number of Ph.D. students on campus with what the OE2C website calls “a University-wide Fellowship program.” “The new graduate fellowships will be awarded this spring to 15 high-achieving Ph.D. students in a variety of SMU’s 22 doctoral programs,” the OE2C website announced. Faculty graduate advisors were each invited to submit up to two nominees for the fellowship. Nominations were reviewed by the SMU University Research Council, which consists of faculty members from various schools at SMU. The choice to increase SMU’s doctoral programs was encouraged by the SMU Faculty Senate, who believes that the university’s doctoral students play a crucial role in engaging with undergraduate students and incoming classes. The Faculty Senate passed a resolution April 2, 2014 requesting that the SMU administration devote a substantial portion of savings or revenue from OE2C toward “recruitment and retention of highquality faculty; investment in research infrastructure, university libraries and doctoral programs; increasing

of North Texas art school graduate Chris Green said. Green graduated from North Texas in 2013 and works as a freelance photographer and photo retoucher in Dallas, TX. Green was most excited to learn about all the available equipment that would be accessible at the union.“Being out of school I do miss the photo lab and having access to those facilities,” Green added. Equipment for artists, unless you are fortunate to have accessible funds, is not readily available and is very expensive. Universities provide their art students with topnotch materials, supplies, studio space, and equipment. Post-grads struggle to thrive when they lose these lucrative resources. “I think building an art community in Dallas is extremely important, we need more artists. Dallas
the number of laboratory and teaching assistants to improve the quality of undergraduate education; and University-wide fellowships to attract high-quality graduate students.” SMU expects the University-wide Fellowship program to grow over time. It will start its first year with $150,000. The inaugural Fellows will each receive up to $10,000 in addition to teaching or research help offered by their department, according to the OE2C website. James Quick, associate vice president for research and dean of graduate studies, believes that outstanding grad students will add to the undergraduate educational experience and improve faculty members’ ability to teach when they function as teaching assistants. “The new University-wide Fellowship program will enrich an outstanding Ph.D. program, and outstanding students coming to SMU enriches the atmosphere,” Quick said to the OE2C initiative. According to Quick, the first award recipients will be announced after April 15.
doesn’t have enough support for artists and we need more,” Green added. Green noted that thriving art hubs such as San Francisco and New York City attract artists because they know they can find work there. The Cedars Union will seek to be the source of financial and creative resources to grow the art community in Dallas. “We think we will have an economic impact. Giving the little artists a voice and getting the underground artists out of their basements. We will give them a better outlet,” Griffith said. The Cedars Union anticipates opening in early spring 2016 due to renovation and construction of the building. Hernandez and Griffith estimate a membership cap of 400, which would include a currently undecided annual membership fee. Griffith urges all interested potential members to fill out his survey to help him and Hernandez better model the program.

Resident Community Chaplains provide support in Residential Commons Lauren Castle Contributing Writer lcastle@mail.smu.edu It all started with an idea twelve years ago. Many universities were in the process of helping students avoid high-risk behaviors. SMU experienced several student deaths and wanted to prevent future tragedies, according to Associate Chaplain Judy Henneberger. “There was no doubt that SMU would benefit from having a pastoral presence in the halls for students needing a confidential resource as well as someone to support particularly first-year students transition to college life,” said Henneberger. The Office of the Chaplain and Religious Life began discussions with Residence Life and Student Housing in 2003. However, it wasn’t until 2006 that the Resident Community Chaplain program began. The program gives seminary students the opportunity to work with undergraduates living in SMU’s Residential Commons. Residential Community Chaplains help students transition into college life. The chaplains also work with faculty and staff. “Students are faced with many challenges and distractions,” said Henneberger. “RCCs can be someone who listens, guides, advises, mentors and supports students during times of crisis, academic difficulty, relationships, family issues and grief.” Baylor, Georgetown, and Creighton University offer similar in-resident chaplain programs. However, SMU is the only one that has seminary students serving as chaplains. There are 12 Residential Community Chaplains this school year. Lloyd Resident Community Chaplain Veronica Davis joined the program to be more connected with college students. “I like doing college ministry and it seemed like a realistic way to get more practice and experience with students,” said Davis, a fourth-year at SMU Perkins School of Theology.
Davis believes the opportunity has made her more aware of what is going on in the undergraduate community. Seminary students go through an application process to join the program. The process includes interviews with the Office of the Chaplain and RLSH and training. Chaplains are required to connect with their communities at least eight hours a week. The program’s appeal has spread across Dallas. Two of the RCCs are students at Dallas Theological Seminary. The rest of the chaplains attend Perkins. The Residential Commons strive to make students aware of RCCs presence. The chaplains are introduced to residents during welcome week, floor meetings, and council meetings. RCCs live in the commons and are able to have informal and confidential meetings with students. Armstrong Commons Resident Community Director Lauren Cove believes there are benefits for having RCCS. RCCs are able to help students of all faiths and backgrounds. “As an institution of higher education, we are called to develop the whole person. And faith/ spiritual development is a component of that development,” said Cove. The program benefits the chaplains as well. RCCs receive mentors, a stipend, and hands-on experience in counseling and pastoral care. Davis believes her time as Residential Community Chaplain will help her in the future. “The RCC program has taught me that if I want to be a chaplain with college students, then I need to go find them. Unlike in church ministry, students do not normally seek me out, I have to go to them,” said Davis. “It has also taught me about the importance of building relationships with students. It is easier to have a serious conversation with a student who I know than with a complete stranger.”

been the main attraction in the Crescent Court since it opened in 1986. Even more impressive than its almost 30 years of business is the fact that it is the nation’s largestvolume privately owned specialty retailer in one building, taking on the chain stores that are littered across the industry. After running the store for 15 years, Crawford Brock bought it from Caroline Rose Hunt back in 2002. Since then, the sky has been the only limit for the store. Brock created The Shak, a separate boutique for the young, hip customers they turn into loyal couture buyers, 8 years a ago and recently added a Men’s Shak to fit the needs off Dallas’ trendy men’s crowd. In his keynote address he is delivering here on campus, Brock will be sharing an inside look at his celebrated store and what it takes to stay competitive in the luxury fashion business Following his address, there will be a reception to get some one-on-one time with the man himself.

Meadows Chamber Orchestra hosts spring cookie concert michael gonzalez Contributing Writer mgonzalez@mail.smu.edu The Meadows Chamber Orchestra hosted a spring cookie concert today at noon in the Taudmin Atrium, in the Owens Arts Center. Students, faculty, as well as members of the community were encouraged to bring their lunch and enjoy a variety of chamber music being played by Meadows students, as well as an assortment of free cookies. People came for the cookies but stayed for the music. Benjamin Munson a classical guitar performance major was just one of the many students who was in attendance today. He did not take advantage of the free cookies that were offered but Munson did enjoy the concert. “I thought today’s performances were very good, the last performance being my favorite,” said Munson. Several students put on performances, each leaving to an abundance of applause. The performances varied from duets to four to five students at a time collaborating on a piece of music. Munson believes that there is an advantage to having informal concerts like these. People who are passing by the atrium are able to stop and enjoy the music that they might not have been able to

enjoy if it was being held in a formal setting. “It also helps showcase the wonderful musicians that are here at Meadows,” said Munson. With about fifty or more people in attendance, today’s concert was more heavily attended then other formal Chamber Concerts. Munson believes that the casualness and accessibility of the room contributed to the larger crowd size. “This concert was much better attended than many of the formal setting concerts. Something like this might only have about ten people attending if it was given in an auditorium,” said Munson. Originally scheduled to last for about an hour, the concert ended up finishing early, lasting for about forty minutes. This gave the audience time to interact with the performers to discuss and compliment the pieces that they played, as well as grab a cookie before they were all gone. Celina Chambers a junior engineering student was one of those. “ I took a piano class last semester so I have a new appreciation for music, I really enjoyed today’s performances,” said Chambers. The Meadows Chamber Orchestra has hosted similar informal concerts like these in the past and has another one scheduled for next fall semester on Friday, October 9th at noon.

JB’s campaign banner for run off elections, April 8th and 9th.
JB is the president for me I have seen countless stake signs and social media posts campaigning for Student Body President over the past week. Like many of you, I thought it would all end after the elections last week. Well, it turns out it is not over. A runoff between Senator JB Stockslager and Senator Carlton Adams persists, in which no candidate was given a majority vote. This close race between two competitive candidates had me thinking and after some researching, here’s what I was able to find. Platforms: Carlton has three platforms: opportunity, community and SMUnity. Carlton’s platform for opportunity involves continuing the pursuit of a new student center and an all university calendar. His platform for community involves improving GiddyUp, lighting on campus and a safety awareness week. SMUnity involves stronger implementation of the value statements, transparency of Senate and an all organizations day. When asked in the debate the difference between Community and SMUnity, Carlton responded that all of his platforms are interchangeable, as it’s how he built his campaign, each one could tie into opportunity, community and SMUnity. JB has six platforms: community, spirit, safety, residence life, dining and communication. His website describes these platforms with a full list of issues and potential solutions to accomplish them. JB’s robust platform contains too much to print, so here are some randomly selected points: giving student organizations with limited funds a presence and tent on Boulevard, improving student spirit at athletic events, reducing the three month wait period for Counseling and Psychiatric Services’ free counseling system, and incorporating student suggestions into meal options. When asked in the debate if he could complete all of his platforms,

JB responded that he already began by meeting with administrators – Dean Vogel and Athletic Director Rick Hart. My opinion: JB understands students’ concerns and is already addressing those concerns. Carlton has ideas and a vision of striving to make a difference, but no stated plan. JB wins this round. He is motivated to accomplish his promises. Carlton presented several ideas, but it’s difficult to understand the premise of interchangeable platforms. I can’t find a definition for SMUnity, and I can only see that his platform ignores students’ largest concerns. It will be hard for JB to accomplish all of his platforms, but if he does, the difference would be staggering.
of his IFC fraternity, a finalist for the Mustang Leaders Senate Scholarship, a student representative at the 2015 United States Naval Academy Leadership Conference and a representative for Leadershape this summer, Carlton interacts within the Senate chamber and with select groups on campus. My opinion: Both candidates have impressive endorsements from various Mustangs; however, personal action speaks as loud as endorsements. Carlton accomplished a lot in Senate. And while Carlton participates in opportunities out of Senate, JB has more engaged leadership experience and involvement on this campus outside of Senate. The choice is hard. I want to build friendships with both of them; however, the more I compared the candidates, the more my choice became clear. It was no longer who had the best photos or passed out more stickers. Rather it was about who had a proven track record, passion for SMU and its student body, and plans to make the students’ voices heard. Therfore, I endorse JB Stockslager.
Relationships: JB has significant relationships with leaders within the student body and students from different backgrounds. As a New Century and BBA Scholar, one of the founders of the MOB program, a President of an IFC fraternity, a devoted member of the Christian community on campus, and a Cox Senator, JB can be found all over campus engaging with a diverse group of Mustangs inside and outside of the Senate chamber. Additionally, previous Presidential Candidate Anna Norkett endorses JB. Carlton, a third generation Mustang, has a significant network at SMU. As a member of the prestigious Hunt Scholar Leadership Program, a Dedman Senator, a former Social Chair
I’m impressed with Carlton’s communication skills: his photos, #SMUnity hashtag, stickers, and amazing supporters encouraging other students to vote, but there exists a lack of substance to back his promises. Carlton definitely ran a better marketing campaign, but JB’s passion and track record swayed my vote. I encourage everybody to stay informed in the run off elections, which start Wednesday April 7, and end Thursday April 8 at 5 p.m. It takes less than a minute to vote at smu.edu/elections. Check out the candidates’ websites and campaigns or talk to them and vote. Let your voice be heard. Let your vote matter. I’m voting JB. He is the president for me. Dewan is majoring in marketing.

Panhellenic exec member reflects on chapter values A couple of weekends ago, the Panhellenic Community welcomed international leaders from each on-campus chapter to speak about risk management. Some issues that were discussed included: substance abuse, mental health, bystander behavior, eating disorders and hazing. The facilitators of this weekend came from the program ‘Something of Value.’ They included National Panhellenic Conference representatives, and an attorney with chapter affiliation. Over the course of the weekend, the Panhellenic women witnessed and evaluated a mock trial, worked in discussion groups, and devised a plan that was based on each chapter’s values in order to better their community. Panhellenic Executive Council’s VP of Public Relations, Alexandra Douglas, said, “‘Something of Value” was a rare opportunity for every chapter to come together and speak candidly about the issues that each and every one of us face, both as Panhellenic women and chapters as a whole. I look forward to utilizing the ideas discussed, and in turn, cultivating a closer knit Panhellenic community.”

The outcome of this weekend was an action plan that each chapter has agreed to support and see-through. United in this plan, the Panhellenic women of SMU are willing to change behaviors in order to positively impact the campus. The many women who attended this program created a comfortable environment that allowed everyone to share their issues and concerns. Overall, this initiative provided a foundation for improving the campus culture here on SMU’s campus. Fann is majoring in journalism.

What is the mission of the third year of law school, and whom does it serve – the school or its students? Although challenging and controversial, the development of two-year J.D. (Juris Doctor) programs throughout the country is positively slanted in the right direction – in the motivated students’ favor. The economic benefit of saving a year’s tuition, as well as cutting student loan debt, is a primary attraction to prospective students, but it is not the only one. When President Obama challenged law schools to lop off a year in 2013, he cited not only the monetary advantage, but the opportunity for students in smaller classes to gain more practical experience and for graduates to jumpstart their careers a year earlier. The challenge has been accepted in meaningful, innovative ways. In January, New York Law School launched a unique two-year J.D. honors program at a cost of no more than two-thirds of that

of a traditional J.D. Admission comes with at least a $25,000 merit scholarship per year for all students and a guarantee of postgraduate fellowships with firms, companies, nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Students at Pepperdine University School of Law’s two-year degree option can simultaneously earn a certificate from the No. 1 ranked Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution. After the initial summer session beginning in May, students continue in the regular J.D. program, completing their degree in four semesters and two summer sessions. Similarly, at Northwestern University, the
first top tier law school to offer the accelerated program, students begin classes in May but work during the second summer in internships or clerkships and graduate in May, two calendar years later. The argument by some law school educators, that the third year is needed for students to become more “rounded,” to “reflect” on the law and “explore” their goals, addresses what should begin in the first year. According to Seth Park, a third-year law student at Emory University, the second and third year focus on electives is of little benefit in later preparing for the bar exam, which is based on the required foundational courses of the first year. One size does not fit all in legal education. Because not every new enrollee will be a traditional student, fresh from a bachelor’s degree, law schools need to reevaluate the third-year requirement for all students.

Speakers at the 49th Annual Texas Legislature Conference.
How Texas could lead America in reducing greenhouse gas emission The 84th Texas Legislative session in Austin is considering a critical bill that could help clean up the air we breathe and position Texas as a national leader of environmental stewardship. Texas Democratic Senator Carlos Uresti’s Senate Bill-12 would use existing state funds already earmarked for emission reduction programs. The measure would convert many of the state’s vehicles to operate with cleaner fuel sources, such as natural gas and propane, and provide funding for local communities to do the same. Texas has 30 percent of the estimated natural gas in the U.S., which is the world’s largest reserve. It is estimated by the Energy Information Administration that America has enough natural gas to meet current and future demand for up to 150 years. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says there are about 150,000 natural gas vehicles on the road in America. Worldwide, it swells to 15.2 million. In my international travels, I have observed how other countries embrace natural gas vehicles as a cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient transportation fuel source. The Honda Civic GX was introduced domestically only to generate flat sales, mostly because of limited fueling options. Here in Texas, natural gas vehicles have been deployed in several areas. At DFW airport, nearly 500 maintenance vehicles run on compressed natural gas (CNG), and the airport has its own fueling station. Dallas Area Rapid Transit is phasing in 650 CNG buses and vehicles. In Houston, 30 CNG airport shuttle buses save the city nearly $250,000 annually in fuel costs. San Antonio’s riverboats also run on compressed gas, safely and efficiently carrying one million passengers a year along the city’s infamous Riverwalk canals. More than 30 Texas companies like UPS, FedEx, Frito-Lay, H-E-B and McShan Florist successfully use natural gas vehicles. A DOE-Argonne National Lab Report reveals that natural gas could reduce CO2 emissions by 2030 percent and toxic carbon monoxide emissions by 75 percent. As a much cleaner burning fuel, particulate matter emissions are reduced by 95 percent and nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds are each cut in half.

SB-12 would re-allocate three percent of the state’s $1 billion Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP), a fund created in 2001 specifically for emissions reduction funding. Many of the 28,000 state-owned vehicles would be converted to run on natural gas, propane, or other alternative fuels. It would also fund strategically placed fueling stations. Municipalities could tap into the allocation on a voluntary basis to convert local fleets to use the cleaner burning fuel. The bill faces an uphill battle from environmentalists arguing for impractical electric powered vehicles and from some lobbyists, who fear more natural gas usage could drive up prices and reduce corporate profits. Refiners oppose the bill, protecting their market share of petroleum distillates. This legislation deserves bilateral support. Texas needs to lead by example. We have a rich abundance of gas flowing out of the Barnett shale, the Eagle Ford shale, the Permian Basin and the Haynesville-Bossier shale in East Texas. We also have a vast pipeline infrastructure to move it around the state. Lawmakers are facing immense pressure from self-interested groups who are putting individual agendas and profits ahead of common sense and what is naturally good for Texas. It’s time to call your state senators and representatives now and tell them we want to become a national example of environmental leadership. The Texas legislature should pass SB-12 for the good of our air, our future and to position Texas as a national leader in producing natural gas while reducing our carbon footprint.

Here’s what students are saying about MayTerm: “I really liked the condensed semester. I would absolutely take another MayTerm course.” “My professor made coming to class for 4 hours every day enjoyable. She managed to present an incredible amount of material while still making it fun and giving us time for discussion.” “I would highly recommend MayTerm. It is 100% do-able and a great way to take care of classes for your major or the UC.” “If you’re committed, you can learn a large quantity of material in a short period of time.” “I liked how involved everyone was and that it was a smaller class. I thought our professor did an excellent job making sure we did not miss anything.” “I loved how fast paced it was. Short, sweet and to the point.”
