Carlton Adams wins 2015-2016 Student Body President run-off CHRISTINA COX Assignments Desk Editor clcox@smu.edu The results from the ruff-off are in. The 2015-2016 SMU Student Body President will be Carlton Adams. The results were announced to SMU students via an email sent by former Student Body President Ramon Trespalacios. “He will take SMU to the next level and ensure that your college experience is the best it can be. I’m looking forward to seeing SMUnity in action,” Trespalacios said. Adams beat out JB Stockslager for Student Body President. Stockslager will serve as a Cox Senator during the upcoming academic year. Adams announced his win and thanked the SMU community for their
votes and support on his Facebook page Thursday afternoon. “I could not be more excited to announce that I will be the president of the 102nd SMU Student Senate for the 2015-2016 school year,” Adams said on his campaign Facebook page. “I could not be luckier to attend Southern Methodist University and wanted to thank each and every one of you for your votes and support.” Adams also thanked his parents and No. 1 supporters for getting him to where he is today. The third-generation Mustang has been a part of Student Senate since his freshman year, serving as a First-Year Senator, Pre-Major Senator, Dedman Senator and Membership Chair. He is also a Hunt Scholar majoring in economics and
minoring in math. Adams ran on a platform of three facets: Opportunity, Community, and SMUnity. He stated that his major goals are to promote a more inclusive student body, increase the transparency of Student Senate with a monthly email, develop a spring semester All Organizations Day, create specific GiddyUp stops, develop an centralized university calendar and improve campus lighting. SMUnity was the foundation and slogan of Adam’s platform, to “ensure that every Mustang is appreciated, included and represented by the Student Senate.” Adams stated that he is looking forward to making his platform a reality on campus. “It has been an awesome experience and can’t wait to serve the best institution in the nation,” Adams said.

National BOSTON— A federal jury convicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of all 30 charges against him and found him responsible for the deaths of the three people killed in the 2013 attack and the killing of an MIT police officer. Jurors will begin hearing evidence next week. JACKSON, Miss.— Two women who were part of a group that repeatedly searched Mississippi’s capital city for black people to assault were sentenced Thursday to multiple years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate sentenced Shelbie Brooke Richards of Pearl to eight years in prison.
Texas AUSTIN— “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm took part in a violent college hazing in 1990 at the University of Texas that led to criminal charges and to the fraternity chapter permanently disbanding, according to court and school records obtained Thursday. The Emmy-nominated actor had not previously been publicly linked to a lawsuit filed by a Sigma Nu pledge who said he was severely beaten, dragged by a hammer and had his pants lit on fire.

Professor Sevinc Sengor discusses research for ‘clean and renewable future’ Blake Wetzel Contributing Writer bwetzel@smu.edu Engineering Professor Sevinc Sengor spoke about the issue of clean water and energy Wednesday morning in front of SMU students, faculty, alumni and engineering professionals. In a small conference room in Caruth Hall, lecture attendants focused their attention on the environmental engineer behind the podium as she addressed the most pressing issues alongside the models and research she has established to find solutions. The codependence of water and energy is an endless and irreversible cycle that is beginning to loose steam as these two resources increase in demand and complexity. Sengor is working with a team of graduate students to find innovative ways to remove emerging contaminants in drinking water, address the remediation of toxic metals and uranium in water,
improve groundwater conditions and instill sustainable waste to energy conversion. Originally from Turkey, Sengor moved to the U.S. to pursue her Ph.D. in Water Resources from the University of California, Davis and now serves as one of Lyle’s most innovative professors. “She is new to the school for this type of research,” SMU alumnus, Paul Harris, said. The problems addressed by Sengor and the solutions she proposes signify progress and prestige not only in the engineering field as a whole, but for the Lyle School of Engineering as well. “I am so excited to be working at Lyle to take these steps forward to solve the water and energy issue,” Sengor said. Seeing as water sustains agriculture, industry and life, and energy is needed to extract and treat water, the balancing act between the two is something that affects the entirety of the global population. The concerns she targets are pressing not only in developing nations, but also in many
regions throughout the U.S. “Since it is such an important issue for all of us, these programs help us to better understand what is going on in the world,” SMU grad student, Carla Mendiola, said. Sengor’s findings, including naturally occurring microorganisms with the potential to generate energy and clean water, are especially ground breaking. Her work and professionalism mark the progress made by the Lyle School of Engineering as the college seeks to enhance its learning opportunities and innovation. “Lyle is at the leading edge of research for attacking contemporary problems like this…energy production is very near and dear to the heart of Texas,” SMU employee, Patrick Christine, said. Located in the nation’s leading energy state, students pursuing their undergraduate and graduate engineering degree at SMU have the environment, the professors and the possibilities for change to their advantage. Established in 2010, the Lyle Scholars
Program continues to seek out and inspire the leading engineers of the coming generation and provide them with the education, resources and support necessary to solve issues like clean water and energy. This inventive school is attracting talent and diversity from around the nation, while working to shape world changers.

entertainment
New films premiere at DIFF riley coven Arts and Entertainment Writer rcoven@smu.edu Beginning this Thursday, April 9 is the ninth annual Dallas International Film Festival. Running through April 19, this festival celebrates filmmakers around the world and the work they’ve put their blood, sweat and tears into. While there are some well established directors and stars in the festival, there are also plenty of undiscovered talents waiting for their moment to shine. Here are some films from each category that I’d recommend checking out. “Results” Danny, a recently divorced and wealthy man, is completely miserable with his life. He is the perfect example of the divide between money and happiness. One day at the gym he meets selfstyled guru and owner, Trevor, as well as beautiful and enticing Kat, whose lives all become quickly intertwined. Starring Guy Pearce, Cobie Smulders and Kevin Corrigan. “Love and Mercy” This film chronicles of the life
of Brian Wilson, lead singer of famed group, The Beach Boys, as he struggles with mental health and substance abuse. Told between two periods of his life as a young man and a retired rock star, the film adeptly showcases the genius of his music and the pain behind it. Starring Paul Dano and John Cusack. “Do You Dream in Color” A documentary about four blind youths living in today’s world. The film tells the story of these individuals following their dreams despite their disabilities. It shows that if you set your mind to something, nothing can hold you back. It is directed by Abigail Fuller and Sarah Ivy. “Divine Access” Jack Harriman has been around the world and seen everything twice. Aware of his suspicious nature, his friend, Bob McCorb, invites Jack to a cable access program. After dismantling the current host of the show, a reverend, Jack finds himself a spiritual celebrity and takes to the road to speak in cities across the country. Starring Billy Burke, Patrick Warburton and
Gary Cole. “7 Chinese Brothers” Larry, a down on his luck convenience store worker, has nothing going for him, except maybe his boss, Lupe. With no commitments in life besides his penchant for consuming massive amounts of alcohol, things don’t look good for Larry. Time will tell is he’s able to get the girl, keep his bulldog happy, hang with his friend Major and make his ill-tempered grandmother proud. Starring Jason Schwartzman, Stephen Root and Olympia Dukakis. “5 Flights Up” A film that takes place over the timespan of one weekend, “5 Flights Up” tells the story of an aging couple trying to sell the apartment they’ve live in for more than 40 years. Starring Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton. Check out these films as well as the many films competing in the Narrative Feature competition this weekend at the Dallas International Film Festival.

SMU students show films in college festival will kastner Contributing Writer wkastner@smu.edu Monday April 6, 2015, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema hosted the North Texas Universities Film Festival that featured specially selected, student-made films from SMU, UNT and UTA. Each school chose an array of films to show off the students’ diverse filmmaking strategies and abilities. UNT and UTA chose
to premier fewer, lengthier films that highlighted the work of their upper-level classes. SMU opted to show a wider array of films that spanned from documentaries to short narratives, which featured students’ work in all levels of film classes. SMU also emphasized the work that students had done in this past semester’s Production 1 class. SMU filmmakers with pieces at the festival included works from Darian Fardghassemi,
Schuyler Morris, Blair Croce, Jacob Stoner, Cayla Simpson, Gillian Perry, Mac Taylor, Kim Kooker and Adrian Aguirre. The event served as an exhibition of the talent that each school has in their film programs, as well as a way for students to premier their work to fellow filmmakers. Each film brought a different aspect of filmmaking to the screen, with enough variation to make it an enjoyable, entertaining evening.
Friday top five with Amy amy cooley Contributing Writer acooley@smu.edu It’s been a while, but I’m back to bring you my top five stories of the week in the entertainment world, so no need to worry anymore. 1. Let’s start with a big one. Many of you may be familiar with the song “Goodbye” by Who Is Fancy and you may have been wondering just that: who IS Fancy? Well the mystery artist finally revealed who he is on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” this past Tuesday. When Who Is Fancy’s music first came out, he chose to keep his identity a secret. He even released three separate music videos for the same song, “Goodbye,” each starring a different person of a different race and gender to keep up the mystery. (If you haven’t watched the videos, go do it now. With each video I was convinced that that person was Fancy. It’s a very good watch.) After his big reveal during his performance on “The Tonight Show” we learned that Fancy is really named Jake Hagood, a 23-year-old man from Nashville 2. Paul Walker is gone but not forgotten. The late actor’s final movie, “Furious 7,” came out last Friday and
broke some records to say the least. The movie opened with 143.6 million dollars, making it the biggest opening of all the “Fast and Furious” films, the 9th biggest opening of any film and the biggest April opening to date. Everyone is loving this movie, even people who haven’t seen any of the first six. Coming in second and third place this weekend were the new animated films “Home,” with Rhianna and Jim Parsons, and “Get Hard,” starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. 3. Things won’t be the same for fans of “The Vampire Diaries” after the end of this season, as leading lady Nina Dobrev announced that season six will be her last. You can read her full farewell letter on Instagram (which is a questionable way to say goodbye in my opinion. She basically put a novel as a caption. Nobody wants to read all of that while they’re scrolling through their phone walking down the Boulevard.) It essentially said she has loved her time on the show but felt, and always knew, that six seasons were enough for her. 4. Another tragedy in the entertainment world: SpiderMan and Gwen Stacey may be over. And no I’m not talking about the end of “The
Amazing Spider-Man 2.” That’s right, the cutest couple in Hollywood, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, are taking a break. I am personally wounded by this. Not all hope is lost, however. The couple isn’t breaking up forever because of some huge fight that they will never recover from – that’d be the worst. They’re simply both too busy. Both are in the prime of their careers; Garfield is currently filming in Taiwan and Stone simply doesn’t have time to go visit him so far away all the time. I still believe in you, Stonefield. If anyone can make it through it’s you two quirky kids. Don’t go breaking my heart. 5. On the other end of the spectrum, Barry Manilow is married! He and his long-time partner/manager, Garry Kief, threw a lunch party for family and friends at Manilow’s home in Palm Springs which turned out to be a surprise, private wedding about a year ago. The ceremony was just for show, however. The couple did it to show their friends that they are in this for the longhaul, but did not fill out the official paperwork. But that’s all that matters, right? Their vows are the most important part, not all the publicity that would come with it. Congrats (a little late) you two.

Mustangs visit Children’s Medical Center ANDREW hATTERSLEY Contributing Writer ahattersley@smu.edu The SMU Football team stepped away from the football field Wednesday afternoon to visit the young children at the Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. SMU quarterback Matt Davis enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the classroom and into a completely new environment. “It was great, I think I speak for the whole team when I say we had a great experience, had a great time just speaking to these kids, seeing them, trying to speak life into them, encourage them, really just seeing their smile,” Davis said. Head Coach Chad Morris said the trip came as a little bit of a surprise to the players Tuesday morning, but he hoped it helped the players see they’re going to

The SMU football team visited Children’s Medical Center in Dallas Wednesday night. get some different experiences at SMU outside of football. “We kind of surprised our guys
yesterday morning, shared with them that we’re going to learn a little bit more than just football
today, we’re going to learn a lot more,” Morris said. Players and coaches spent
approximately an hour and a half at the hospital doing anything from playing videogames with the kids, to drawing pictures, or simply watching them play a game of FIFA. Many players thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hoped the patients knew how much it meant to the whole team as well. “I wish they knew how much we enjoy this, seeing them, in a way we look up to a lot of these kids too, so it’s great,” Davis said. The event was a huge success in the eyes of coach Morris, as well, as he got to watch many of his players interact with members of the hospital and learn a little bit about what real life is like. “Just watching our guys interact with the nurses, and the patients, and the parents of the patients,” Morris said, “Really just being able to see this is life and understand we truly can make a difference.”

Hernandez nervously awaits verdict in murder trial Kelly Vivian Contributing Writer kvivian@smu.edu Aaron Hernandez was a 23-year-old star tight end for the New England Patriots. He had recently moved to his suburban Boston mansion with his fiancée and young daughter. Life seemed pretty good for him in the summer of 2013. Fast forward nearly two years later, and Hernandez sits at his defense table in Fall River District Court accused of murdering his friend Odin
Lloyd, and waiting to hear from five men and seven women who will essentially determine the rest of his life. When this case is resolved, he awaits a separate trial in Boston on a double murder charge. What exactly led to all of this? Hernandez let fame get to him and sadly ended up ruining what could have been a promising career. Aaron lost his father when he was 16 years old. Unfortunately, he has let the pain and agony of losing him

derail his own life. After multiple run-ins with the law during his time at the University of Florida, Hernandez dropped to the third round of the NFL draft. It seemed every time there was an issue, Hernandez was right in the middle of it. He began smoking tons of marijuana, and when he would return to his hometown of Bristol, Conn., he always seemed to be running with the wrong crowd. The Patriots gambled on Hernandez twice, first when
they drafted him and second when they signed him to a longterm extension. They were convinced he was past his old ways. They quickly learned that their gamble had backfired in a way they could have never imagined. Hernandez has continued his old ways as a troubled, angry young man that has never fully matured. It is impossible to predict which way the jury will decide a case. Prosecutors called on 135
witnesses, and Hernandez’s defense team called three. A possible sign they think they will win the case? It may be difficult to convict Aaron Hernandez without a murder weapon, witnesses and no clear motive. Hernandez’s defense argues that one of his two confederates from the streets of Bristol, Ernest Wallace or Carlos Ortiz, committed the killing. Regardless of the verdict, it’s a tragedy that a young man lost his life, and another one threw it all away.

The costs of our social world In the social media age, people have become self-absorbed and image obsessed
“You looked gorgeous in this pic. You should instagram it, but wait a few hours. I predict hella likes,” was the text I received from my sister, referring to a Valentine’s Day picture. This is the world we live in. People don’t just go to social events anymore. It isn’t enough to just enjoy life. We have to tell everyone else where we are and just how much we’re enjoying it. And then comes the added obsession with how well it’s received. We hope for “likes” and comments, because if we don’t get at least 100, what does that say about us? I’m just as guilty as the rest of the world. I posted the picture. There are 665 million active Facebook users right now and 751 million use Facebook from a mobile device, meaning it’s always with them. According to a Pew Research Study in 2014, Facebook is the most used social media platform, but others like Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat and Linkedin are growing at a faster usage pace than Facebook. The constant need to showcase our lives has made our world a self-absorbed and imageobsessed culture. It decreases authentic relationships and presents an unrealistic picture of life to onlookers. It’s a world that screams, “Look at me, look at me!” And it is constant. Facebook allows users to post status’, pictures and videos.

Twitter allows for 140 characters, photos and videos. Instagram is just photos and videos. (Of course with the perfect caption to go along). Then came Snapchat. Snapchat went from simply allowing users to send pictures that disappear to having a “My Story” feature. The feature lets users post a picture or video to their “story” that shows exactly what they are doing and will stay up for 24 hours, because people’s lives are just so interesting and everyone just needs to know. This is problematic enough on it’s own. Think privacy or think posting while drinking. But, it’s worse. It increases comparison, jealous and can often give wrong impressions. “Is the girl in his Instagram picture just a friend or does he like her? If he likes her, then why am I even bothering?” “She been posting a lot of going out pictures? Does she do anything but drink?” The different thoughts could go on and on. It’s never ending. Users don’t post about all the homework and work they’re doing or the nights they stayed
in bed and cried. Instead, the glamorous nights out, the mission trips, or the significant others are splashed across the computer screens and smart phones. Life in reality versus life as it appears on social media are two very different things. While social media seeks to connect us, it often does the opposite, isolating us in comparison, separating us with assumptions about how others live. Social media is wonderful for getting news, for providing platforms, for reaching audiences, but when it comes to actually helping our social lives – it comes up short. When do we actually see people in person to ask how they are? Or do we just follow them and decide for ourselves? My guess is the latter. And when it comes to dating? Forget about it. What’s the difference between receiving a text or a snapchat? What does it mean if you like the person’s Instagram? Why if he has so many channels to contact me is he not contacting me? Why did she open my snapchat, but not text me back? Social media has complicated us. Made us even more selfcritical, self-aware and selfimportant. Yes, we are more social. But at what cost?

term relationships. A large chunk of us live or even have children with our significant other, subscribing to the emerging trend of cohabitation – which is essentially marriage with an easier out. And what’s wrong with that? With divorce rates hovering around 40 percent, according to the American Psychological Association, a melodramatic legal battle over child custody and who gets to keep the china seems archaic. Relationships should be about joint happiness and devoted companionship, not being bogged down with unrealistic expectations of a stagnant promise. We’re a progressive bunch, a generation of innovators who are anything but stagnant. Today’s young women have more opportunities than ever, outnumbering men in universities and climbing to the top of corporate ladders. And with fertility wiggle room thanks to IVF and adoption options, there’s no need to sacrifice career goals for a family. We’ve eschewed the constraints of tradition for the freedom of following our dreams, whatever they might be. “If you’re wondering which way to go, just remember a career will never wake up and tell you it doesn’t love you anymore.” – Lady Gaga Freeman is majoring in journalism.

Not accepting your mistakes while adding in, “...but we donated to [insert charity name here]!” for a desperate means of damage control. Not wanting a group to be stigmatized due to the actions of some individuals is a great sentiment, and if people didn’t pick and choose when to utilize this sentiment, lots of toxic aspects to our society wouldn’t exist. Stereotypes, racial micro-aggressions, prejudice, the list could go on. But until that happens, let this incident be a cold reminder of what it is like to be on the receiving end of these stereotypes. Chary is majoring in advertising.
How to overcome writer’s block Writer’s block hits hard, hits fast and hits all. Whether the paper is a research analysis, master’s thesis, or even an opinion piece, at one point we’ve all struggled to type a decent sentence. It strikes individuals from fifth graders typing their book reports to notable novelists crafting their next best seller. Maybe you lost a muse or the motivation to write. Maybe you feel trapped in a cage that is too short to stand in and too small to lie down in. Maybe you stare at the blinding white page of a Word document, and the only progress you made is reaching a new high score in counting the number of blinks made by the blinking cursor. Whatever the situation, it’s frustrating. Even your own journalists and editors at The Daily Campus have felt the hair-pulling, eyegouging angst of writing. We all have different ways to overcome writer’s block, some work better than others. Saving people from their absent minds (in terms of writing, of course), I present the best – yes, the best – 6 ways to get back into the groove of writing: 1. Take a break Step away from your paper and do something creative. Sketch in a notebook, take a restorative nap, blog on your blog. Take your mind off the drudgery of work and refresh your creative juices with some play. Find a new hobby, rediscover an old one, immerse yourself into an activity you enjoy. After a short break, relax in your chair and start your essay again. 2. Move around

Within the past year, there has been an exponential surge in the discussion of race relations in the United States. While some (white) people love to question why people have to make everything a race issue, discussing these matters is extremely important in order to recognize that the experience of one person is not always the same as the experience of another person – whether it is attending college, working a job, etc. Mattie Lippe mentions not wanting an entire group to be stigmatized for the actions of a few individuals, and I want to offer a few points that are worth thinking about. Doesn’t a person join a fraternity or sorority to have a shared, respected identity with fellow individuals who were deemed worthy of carrying this identity? To be a part of something that is bigger than oneself and have a sense of belonging? You endured an extensive process in order to be chosen to carry this group’s name, but when things go awry, you strive to disassociate yourself with the people who have tarnished your group’s name in order to preserve the group’s reputation. This is an understandable course of action, however, these people who tarnished the collective’s reputation were, after all, chosen to be a part of that group. These people, even after these events have taken place, still represent that organization as a whole. Other members of this group, that have actively

According to a recent Pew Research Survey, only 20 percent of millennials have tied the knot – a stark contrast to the 36 percent of Gen X’s, 48 percent of baby boomers and 65 percent of the silent generation that were married by the time they were our age. At this rate, nearly a quarter of us will still be living the single life by 2030. Our parents and grandparents find this trend, like most other things we do, alarming. Or at least my mother does – “Christine, I want to meet my grandkids!” But her whining really finds root in concern for the direction of society on a much grander scale. Growing up with access to the entire world just a click away, we’ve experience unprecedented freedom in forming opinions, and, evidently, disregarding customs. We never grew out of our rebellious years. We still question authority and consider our elders’ traditions just short of B.S. – particularly when those traditions try to tell us what to do. Half of us register as political independents and three in 10 don’t practice organized religion. So it’s not surprising that we don’t want those institutions meddling in our relationships. “Why would I want the government involved in my love life? Ew. It’s barbaric,” outspoken comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted in response to engagement rumors. Her sentiments garnered thousands of retweets and likes, clearly resonating with the 40 percent of millennials who regard marriage as obsolete. That’s not to say the notorious “hook up culture” has taken over; plenty of us are in committed, long-

body into flow. Take a walk down the Boulevard or go for a jog on Katy Trail. Stretch your arms, inhale and exhale, and practice yoga, even the fellas. Meditate. Moving your body will relax your mind and allow you to move past writer’s block. 3. Free write Writer’s block is similar to constipation; both prevent you from finishing your business. One of the best ways to release your clogged mind lies in letting it all out. Write everything that comes to your mind whether it’s related to your essay or otherwise. Remove all of the unnecessary toxins that poison your mind and prevent you from writing. Completely unload ugly prose and let it alight on your paper. Once you get it all out, delete it and let new, inspired ideas cover the page. 4. Succumb to your vices Let temptation take control. Allow your vices to submerge you in their feel-good world. Treat yourself: eat that chocolate bar, binge on junk food, buy a pound of cocaine. Just kidding, junk food is bad for you. If you smoke, go for a cigarette break. I recommend stimulants, specifically coffee because it’s safe, accessible and effective. You’ll be amazed by what your

mind comes up with after diving into your vices. 5. Eliminate distractions Remove the clutter in your mind by removing the clutter on your desk. As hard as it may be, disconnect from the world. Turn off your phone, get off Facebook and devote a specific amount of time to writing. Escape from the world and give yourself space and solitude to remain attentive to your essay. 6. Read Basically speaks for itself. But stay away from comics, forums (that includes Reddit, sorry not sorry) and untrustworthy articles. Read a chapter from your favorite novel, catch up on news, or read a short story. Pick up a newspaper and read an article from your favorite writer, preferably one of my works. This list should help break down writer’s block, but when you’re writing anything – an essay, article, or research paper – have fun with it. Include a bad joke or two, make an inappropriate comment here and there, vent about your professor or drama in your life. And delete it if it doesn’t pertain to the subject of your paper. I’ve written at least 3 crude and poorly executed jokes about certain flailing limbs, one rant about drama, and another expressing my exasperations with the editor-in-chief. Just kidding Lauren, you da best. The more you write, the easier writing becomes. Keep typing those research papers, analysis essays, or any other writing assignments. Good luck.

Meet the managers of Dallas’ favorite dessert destinations STEEL CITY POPS caroline mendes Contributing Writer cmendes@smu.edu Jonathan Veazey, the manager of Steel City Pops, lives and breathes popsicles. “Instead of a cup a coffee I usually eat a coffee pop which has caffeine in it as my late afternoon pick-me-up,” he said. He has always dreamed of being Dallas’ go-to popsicle man; It seems he’s well on his way. With summer temperatures slowly rising, Steel City Pops already has people and puppies waiting in a line out the door. Steel City’s popsicles are modeled after traditional Latin American paletas, but the shop has revamped the childhood favorite into a gourmet dessert that anyone can enjoy. Have allergies? Can’t eat dairy? Gluten free? They have pops for that. In general, the pops are divided into two categories, the fruity and the creamy. For the fruit lovers, you’ll find real fruit-based popsicles that will almost make you long for those scorching summer days, like raspberry-lemon, pineapple, mango and hibiscus. For those who like rich flavors, the creamy popsicles include coffee, buttermilk, chocolate and more. If that isn’t enough, you can get one with an actual cookie baked inside. Needless to say, I picked the cookie. Eavesdropping on the group of girls in front of me, I learned there was a popular favorite, the vanilla chocolate chip. Coming from a strenuous Crossfit workout, the girls were craving something cold. Pops that are low calorie, fresh and made with whole ingredients
were exactly what they had in mind. “I love how I don’t feel guilty after eating one; they’re natural and healthy,” Katherine Arsenault, a loyal customer, said. With so many unique flavors, she shared it’s impossible to try to narrow it down to just one flavor. “I come once a week to get a box of chocolate, they’re the absolute best. The manager and team greet me every time and know I’m here for the usual,” Arsenault said. As I stood in line waiting for my popsicle, I couldn’t help but glance over at the large mural painted along the large wall of the store. “The team and I painted it ourselves the week before opening. The dark gray is the Dallas skyline and the light gray is Alabama’s. We’ll always remember where we started,” Veazey said. The frozen pops shop started in Homewood, Alabama, in 2012, and opened its first Dallas store on May 15, 2014. Steel City Pops’ founder Jim Watkins knew Veazey was the man to take his store to Dallas. Veazey had already helped the owner open three stores in Birmingham, Alabama. Taking a gamble, Veazey and his wife moved from Alabama to Dallas to open the store. “Anytime you are involved in a start-up it’s pretty scary, but we really felt like it was going to be a success and a fun adventure,” said Veazey. “There’s also a great feeling that stems from being so successful from doing something so simple.” However, the move to Dallas wasn’t such a smooth ride at first.
“Our walk-in freezer that holds hundreds of pops went out the very first week we opened. Thankfully our vending carts we use to sell pops outdoors was plugged in and frozen so we were able to transfer them there to keep them frozen,” Veazey said. Box by box and pop by pop, the team of workers transferred each item to the smaller freezers. Employee Kesli Houlette shared how Veazey encouraged his team and didn’t break a sweat through the whole process. “Jonathan is a wonderful boss. He’s very encouraging and a good teacher. He also makes our job fun by making quick challenges among the employees to see who can make the most stick holders in the quickest time,” Houlette said. “There were several times this fall when I was working in the kitchen in the morning and Jonathan would come in singing different songs.” Houlette shared that Veazey makes sure everyone on the team has at least one pop a day. “It’s pretty great getting to try all the different pops and not get in trouble for it,” said Houlette. As I sat on the stools behind the glass windows separating me from the pops, I watched the team make their fresh batch of pops for the day. “Little kids can watch us cut the strawberries and blueberries they’re about to eat. I think it’s important they can see how what they’re eating is being made,” Veazey said. The team chops everything from strawberries to chocolate into small pieces, then blends them into liquid form. Placing the mixtures into stainless steel molds, Houlette adds sticks for

the pop handles. Once in place, the trays of 25 pops are put in a deep freezer and after 25 minutes the pops are frozen. While waiting, the team spends their time having some fun with banjo playing, dancing and joking around. Once ready, they submerge the pops into a hot bath of water that helps the pops separate from the molds. They are then able to wiggle out the
pops and run them through the flow wrapper. The pops are then ready to go and put in a freezer until ordered. With oldies playing throughout the industrial designed store, Steel City Pops makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time. Veazey shared the most important goal for Steel City Pops: a close community and sense of giving back. For example, the
store has manufactured its own water product called Provid water. Anytime someone buys a bottle the store donates 100 percent of profits to help build clean water wells in Africa and India. “That’s my favorite part of my job: seeing people get excited as I hand them over their fresh pop but also knowing that we’re making a difference beyond the store,” Veazey said.
provide great customer service,” said St. Peter. When asked what donut he’d be and why, St. Peter mentioned an Old Fashioned because they taste good and, well, he’s a bit old fashioned. Take his stance on customer service: “Donuts make people happy. We try to make people happy. But if they come in here with a crappy attitude, we’ll serve that crappy attitude right back,” St. Peter said. This may seem a bit out there for some. But for “Hyppies,” the donut shop’s avid fans, the candid originality is charming.
Now, after opening up a second location in Denton soon after the first, Hypnotic Donuts’ owner James St. Peter is ready for the next adventure – a concept he isn’t willing to share until its opening in September. As rumors swirled about the next project St. Peter is working on, (not donuts, in case you were wondering), his customers voiced support. “I’ll be following Hypnotic any which way they go,” Julia McQuade, a dedicated Hyppie, attested. Only giving away the location, which will be walking distance from the Garland storefront, St.
hypnotic donuts SHELLY KNUTSON Contributing Writer mknutson@smu.edu At 9:30 a.m. on a Thursday, Weezer and The Black Keys permeated the room stemming from a vintage music box. On the upholstered mustard yellow couch sat two teenagers taking “selfies” and uploading the photos to Instagram. On the ceiling, a miniature disco ball revolved in circles, illuminating a custom painting of Bob Marley blowing smoke rings shaped like frosted donuts. This was not your average donut shop.
With donuts like the Evil Elvis ranked top in America and an atmosphere that rivals your goto neighborhood watering hole, this little Dallas donut shop has received national attention. Hypnotic’s place in the White Rock community as a social hub is clear. Family Christmas cards, congratulatory letters celebrating one and two years of business, and thank you notes from the surrounding areas’ schools, sports teams and charities adorned the walls. Customers walked in and were greeted by name. Those that shared their stories quickly became a part of the family.
“I’ve talked to people from all over: California, New York. One time a man came all the way from the Bahamas and visited us two days in one week,” said Lexi Noles, who has been working the front counter for two years. Now how exactly did a man who spent the past 18 years in corporate America learn everything necessary to build a homegrown donut shop into a vacation destination hotspot? After deciding he couldn’t live with the regret of never attempting his dream, St. Peter headed down to his local donut shop and simply asked the owner to teach him. “Well, technically I asked his

son since the old man didn’t speak English,” St. Peter added. With no words exchanged, the old man would knead dough and mix up icings while St. Peter watched diligently, taking notes and recording video. It was a year-and-a-half process consisting of reviewing video and trial and error before St. Peter perfected his donut concept: Hypnotic. St. Peter maintains Hypnotic’s grassroots image by only opening up shop in communities where he’s willing to invest as much time as he expects from his customers. “We never expect people to just come. We have to give back and

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.”
