Justice brings healing: Monika Korra’s journey BROOKS IGO, TRICIA BOH Contributing Writers

Sitting in a corner booth in Cafe Express, Monika Korra sighs and half smiles. “I’m really not looking forward to my U.S. history exam,” Korra, a senior at SMU, said.

If you weren’t paying attention, you might miss her. She is a sliver of a woman, though she moves with an athlete’s grace in her black sweater and pants, gold jewelry and cheetah print scarf.

That Korra is fretting over a history exam is nothing short of miraculous given what happened two years ago. On Dec. 5, 2009, Korra was leaving a party with her SMU roommates when three men kidnapped her at gunpoint, holding a gun to her head while they gang raped her for more than an hour then left her naked in the

frigid night near the intersection of Haskell Avenue and Crosstown Expressway.

Korra, a native of Norway and a member of the SMU cross country team, did not follow the path of most sexual assault victims. She immediately reported the rape to the Dallas Police Department. She worked with police and the Dallas County District Attorney’s office to build a strong case against her attackers. Her testimony in court helped convince jurors to convict two of the men of aggravated sexual assault; each was sentenced to life in prison. The third pled guilty to aggravated sexual assault and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

After the last man was convicted, Korra allowed reporters to use her name in their stories.

“I don’t want to be defined as a victim,” Korra told The Daily

Campus. “I want to show that it is possible to heal from this.”

The men convicted of raping Korra were suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, according to Dallas County jail records. One had been convicted of theft of a human corpse in Laredo, records show. Another recently had been arrested for possession of suspected black tar heroin.

Korra said her role in prosecuting her attackers was central to her recovery. She no longer fears them or worries about what they will do to others. She found peace by helping send them to prison.

“That was my goal: to find them, to make sure they would be locked up and never would be able to do that to anyone ever again,” she said.

Prosecuting someone for sexually assaulting an SMU

student is rare. SMU Police Chief Richard Shafer, who has been at the university since 1999, said other than Korra he could not recall anyone accused of raping an SMU student whose case went to trial.

According to SMU crime statistics, 40 women — almost all of them students — reported being sexually assaulted since 2006.

Nationally, if a rape is reported, there is a 50 percent probability a suspect will be arrested, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). If a suspect is arrested for sexual assault, RAINN found there is an 80 percent probability of prosecution.

Erin Hendricks served as the lead prosecutor in Korra’s case. The SMU Law School graduate, who

RAHFIN FARUK News Editor rfaruk@smu.edu Social conservative and grassroots politician Rick Santorum announced Tuesday afternoon that he is suspending his presidential campaign.

“While this presidential race for us is over for me, and we will suspend our campaign effective today, we are not done fighting,” Santorum said at a press conference in Gettysburg, Penn.

The former Pennsylvania’s senator exit from the GOP race to the White House clears the way for frontrunner Mitt Romney.

GOP insiders and analysis alike have encouraged Santorum to call it quits in the last few days.

“Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are as irrelevant now as Ron Paul to the selection of the Republican presidential nomination, and they both know it. They both know that Mitt Romney can start planning his coronation in Tampa,” Wesley Pruden, editor emeritus of The Washington Times, said hours before Santorum’s resignation.

In the last three months, Santorum’s strength in Christian Right states like Louisiana and Mississippi. His continued

presence in the race fueled the fire on a popular narrative: diehard conservatives would never support Mitt Romney.

Now, Romney will enjoy a sizable lead compared to Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, the other two candidates left in the GOP nomination process.

Gingrich, second to Romney in terms of delegates, has 136 delegates compared to Romney’s 661 delegates.

A candidate needs 1144 delegates to win the Republican nomination.

Romney is projected to hit that number in time for the Republican national convention in August.

Santorum will be remembered for his success as an underdog – he had a ninth of the funds available to Romney.

“Senator Santorum ran an outstanding campaign. His success in state after state shocked the political pundits and beat the expectations,” Gary Bauer, a lifelong Republican, said to CBS News.

SMU College Republicans agree with the national sentiment about Santorum.

“It was the best thing he could have done. He would have lost his home state, so he took advantage of a graceful exit. Support for one candidate is pivotal for the Republican party heading into November, and Mitt Romney is our guy.”

How to build a healthy homemade smoothie ANNE PARKER H&F Editor annep@smu.edu With the weather getting warmer outside, you are probably craving lighter recipes.

One of the most popular eats during the hot summer months are smoothies.

Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, smoothies are fast, refreshing and great to take onthe-go.

The best part is that they are filling but do not give you that over-stuffed feeling that can be miserable when it is scorching outside.

However, not all smoothies are as light as you might think.

One smoothie from Jamba Juice or Smoothie King can be as much as 600 calories and packed with added sugars due to the amount of fruit juice used to make it.

If you make them the right way, your healthiest bet is to make one at home.

Not only will your pocketbook and waistline thank you, you may find that you enjoy your own smoothies better.

Consuming raw fruits and vegetables in a smoothie every day will save you money and time. Ingredients for a homemade smoothie can run

cheap and only take 10 to 15 minutes to make.

Drinking smoothies also provide you with more vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants than multivitamins can.

Starting your day with a smoothie will keep you more hydrated than coffee or tea and will help you lose weight quicker as well.

If you want to experiment with healthier smoothies, green smoothies as well as detox smoothies will help with weight loss. The great thing is that you can still get all the nutrients you want and lose weight quickly the healthy way.

The best part is, you control can add whatever you want and are able to control exactly what goes into it.

You will need: A blender, an assortment of frozen fruit, a source of protein and a liquid.

There is not an exact recipe that you have to follow to get a delicious smoothie.

You can pretty much blend up anything you want and you will probably come out with something delicious.

Grab your blender and get to work. Cheers to healthy, light and filling summer smoothies!

Add in frozen fruit.

There is no limit to how much

fruit you can use, it just depends on your personal preference.

For an extra creamy smoothie, try a frozen banana.

You can use fresh fruit if you wish, but frozen fruit is what really gives your smoothie the right texture.

To sneak in your extra veggies add in a handful of spinach. It blends right in and you can not taste it so you will have no idea you are even drinking it.

Protein is key to making your smoothie hold you over for a longer amount of time.

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, a scoop of protein powder or a nut butter are great sources of protein.

Pick your liquid: Depending on what your preference is, you can basically use whatever you want.

To keep your smoothie as healthy as possible, do not use anything loaded in sugar.

The amount of liquid you add depends on how thick you want your smoothies and how much it takes to get your blender going.

Popular liquids are orange juice, milk, almond milk, light cranberry juice and water.

Once everything is in your blender, mix, blend and hopefully you will come out with a winning combination.

KORRA: Story of survival to air on ESPN continued from page 1

worked in the district attorney’s office from 2002 to 2010, found Korra’s tenacity inspiring.

“She was all mental discipline all the time,” Hendricks said. “She never took her eye off the ball.”

The night of Dec. 5, 2009 was cold. Korra and her roommates attended a soccer team house party in Old East Dallas. The three left around 2:10 a.m. A friend was waiting in a car. As they ran through the icy air, a black Ford Expedition hurtled toward them. Korra heard someone screaming in Spanish. She turned to the driver, thinking he needed help.

“Before I knew it, there were two men behind me, and they grabbed my head at gunpoint,” she recalled.

The men dragged Korra into the SUV and drove off.

Court testimony would show their leader was Arturo Arevalo, a convicted felon and admitted gang member. Arevalo held Korra at gunpoint, her face pressed against the floor. Arevalo and his companions, Alfonso and Luis Zuniga, threatened to kill Korra if she tried to resist.

“They kept saying, ‘Give us what we want or we’ll shoot,’” Korra recounted.

For 80 minutes, the three men took turns raping her. Korra recalls how Arevalo forced her to sit in his lap, look him in the eyes and kiss him.

Korra willed herself to remain focused.

“I knew the gun was present, so I just had to give them what they wanted to save my own life,” she said. “I told myself, ‘Just stay calm.’”

Finally, the three stopped assaulting her and slowed down the SUV. They kept Korra’s shoes and phone and put duct tape over her eyes, according to Korra.

Then they shoved her out of the moving car, flung her dress out and screamed at her to run, according to court records. Korra ripped the tape off, threw her dress on and began running. She was barefoot.

“I ran for a while, because I didn’t know what else to do,” she remembered. She knocked on the doors of nearby houses; no one responded. In desperation, she walked into the middle of a busy street. A driver stopped to help.

“I told him, ‘I’ve been raped, call the police, please help me,’” Korra recalled.

The Dallas Police Department responded immediately. Senior Cpl. James Shivers, a 21-year veteran, was the first to arrive. He saw Korra, “elbows and knees all skinned-up with duct tape in her hair,” surrounded by dark figures. Shivers, who was not wearing his police uniform, drew his

gun and approached Korra.

She backed away, screaming, “Don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me,” while a police helicopter hovered overhead. Shivers had to virtually shove his badge in Korra’s face to convince her he was a cop.

Finally, she relented, took the corporal’s jacket and got in a squad car to get warm and give her statement. Police then took her to Parkland Memorial Hospital for treatment.

“She’s the only victim I’ve remembered the name past a call,” Shivers said. “She’s extraordinary.”

Police arrested Luis Zuniga on a drug possession charge and found Korra’s cellphone in his pocket on Dec. 6, according to court records.

Two days later, police arrested Arevalo and Alfonso Zuniga, Luis’ cousin, during a traffic stop.

Korra praised the officers for their superb work. “They worked so hard, day and night,” she said.

The Dallas Morning News published a story about the kidnapping and rape on Dec. 8 at 10:25 a.m. Three hours later, WFAA-Channel 8 broadcast a story about the crime.

SMU officials waited until Dec. 9 — four days after SMU students watched in horror as Korra was kidnapped — before issuing a crime alert notifying the campus a student had been raped at gunpoint.

Detective Linda Korbelic-Perez with the SMU Police Department said there is a simple explanation: “We learned about the assault from the news.”

Korra decided to remain at SMU and take her final exams. Initially, she remembers feeling unsafe even in her apartment.

“I tried to force myself to live a normal life,” she said.

It was not easy. Her HIV prevention medication made her sick.

She found it difficult to concentrate in class. But everyone, from her professors to Dave Wollman, SMU’s director of women’s track and field and cross country, was supportive.

When she returned to Norway for Christmas, she still felt ill but was able to start running.

“I forced myself to run every morning, because that’s who I am,” she explained.

At home, she saw progress every day.

“One day I ran 10 minutes, then 15, then 20 … that gave me hope.”

No one would have blamed Korra for choosing not to participate in the investigation of her attackers. But an image remained frozen in her mind.

“I just remember that night I saw other shoes in the car and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, they’ve done this before,’” she said. “That made me

angry and made me think we have to find them because I won’t let them hurt anyone like this again.”

Arevalo, their leader, would be the first suspect to go on trial. The district attorney’s office assigned Hendricks, a veteran prosecutor who had worked in the Sexual Assault Unit since its inception in 2007, to handle the case.

Korra describes Hendricks as tough and supportive.

“I was kind of annoying,” Korra said. “I would email her and call her, ‘Tell me what’s going on, c’mon tell me.’”

In truth, Hendricks welcomed Korra’s help.

“She was so interested,” Hendricks said. “She wanted all the nitty-gritty details.”

As a freshman, Korra had been scared to meet people.

Her teammates gave her an award for being the student who never talked.

“I think I was embarrassed because I didn’t know a lot of English,” Korra said.

Korra now faced a far bigger challenge: testify in open court while facing her main attacker. She had help.

Tests showed DNA found on Korra’s dress matched Arevalo’s.

In addition, Hendricks worked out a plea bargain with Luis Zuniga to testify against Arevalo but only after getting Korra’s approval.

Hendricks said her office wanted Korra’s blessing before giving Zuniga anything less than a life sentence. “It was very reassuring for her to know [Zuniga] was really willing to come forward,” Hendricks said.

Testimony in Arevalo’s trial began on Dec. 14, 2010. Korra said she was mentally prepared to face her attacker because she had been proactive in telling her story.

So, she just told it again on the witness stand.

The jury deliberated for 30 minutes before convicting Arevalo of aggravated sexual assault.

On April 12, 2011, a jury deliberated for 15 minutes before convicting Alfonso Zuniga guilty of the same crime. Both received life in prison.

In April 2011, a judge sentenced Luis Zuniga to 25 years in prison.

Before leaving the courtroom, Zuniga asked Korra to forgive him. She asked Zuniga if he meant to change.

Hearing a “yes,” Korra forgave him, adding, “I don’t think what you did to me that night defines you as a person.”

She also told reporters they were free to use her name in their stories.

Korra told The Daily Campus she decided to go public with her story to show she is not a victim. In her view, one act does not define a person. Not the rapist. Not the victim.

“A lot of victims feel it’s their fault and blame themselves,” she said.

“For me, yes, it happened, but it’s in my past. I don’t want it to define me, and I don’t want people to look at me as a victim.”

SMU Police Chief Shafer says Korra’s victory sends a message to rape victims at SMU and elsewhere.

“It shows people that it’s worth coming forward and that justice can be served,” he said.

Nothing about Monika Korra today suggests she is a victim. In May, she will graduate with her class with a degree in applied physiology.

She compiled a 3.83 grade point average.

She competed in Division I cross country competitions throughout her four years at SMU. She’s considering pursuing a graduate degree in psychology and becoming a rape counselor.

“I want as many people as possible to hear my message,” she said.

She will take a major step toward that goal on Sunday, April 15 at 8 a.m. when ESPN broadcasts a halfhour special about her.

The ESPN documentary, “Survivor,” is part of the network’s “Outside the Lines” series. SMU will screen the documentary that same day at 4 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Theater.

After all that she has been through, Korra admits to a bit of stage fright at the upcoming ESPN special.

“I’m nervous about how people will react to it,” she said.

There’s more. She just finished the proposal for a book based on more than 150 journal entries she made after the attack. The title of the book — which she said is “non-negotiable” — is found in the first entry in her journal: “Kill the Silence.”

She did just that and discovered something in the process.

“I feel like I’ve won kind of, after what they’ve done to me,” Korra said.

Watch Monika’s ESPN special, “Survivor,” on “Outside the Lines” Sunday at 8 a.m.

SMU will also show the documentary in Hughes-Trigg at 4 p.m.

SMU students soleless this year As other students bared their ‘soles’ Tuesday in an effort to promote awareness for the millions

of children who do not have shoes in the world, SMU students showed off their new flip-flops and pedicured toes.

The past two years SMU joined other universities and colleges in “One Day Without Shoes” — a

day when people nationwide go barefoot to support TOMS shoes’ efforts.

However, this year was different as SMU as a university did not recognize the day.

PARTH SHETH Staff Writer pmsheth@smu.edu Do you think you know everything about your personal finances?

Better yet, do you want to learn more about how to manage your financial life?

There are many books that answer questions that young college students and even aging professionals might have.

These personal finance books aim to teach the reader the author’s philosophy on managing their own money by sharing stories and personal insights about finance.

Among the many books available, here are some of the best sellers.

First, The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke, written by Suze Orman, is a book addressing the financial situation of today’s generation — people who just graduated college with a pile of student loans to pay off, while trying to find jobs in the toughest job market in recent years.

In her book, Orman lays out the exact actions young students should take to maintain financial stability in their professional lives.

Follow her step-by-step plan, and you will be well on your way to starting a family and, eventually, retiring comfortably without any financial stress.

Next, Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money — That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! is the story of a child who has two father figures, one who he considers well-off and financially intelligent, and the other who is poor and not financially educated.

During his early childhood, Robert Kiyosaki decided he wanted to be a millionaire; who better to learn from than your own father?

He recounts the two men’s

very different financial strategies and explains the benefits of his rich father’s methods.

This book teaches all its readers how to achieve financial success in these fast-paced times.

Third, “Generation Earn,” written by Kimberly Palmer, helps young professionals by breaking down personal finance into three different perspectives: personal habits, home and the world at large.

Part one discusses professional goals, personal spending and investing.

Part two covers how to create a sustainable home, should you rent or buy and how do you save up to have children?

Finally, part three talks about the community, including green spending, donating and supporting nonprofits.

Basically, learning the different lessons from this book will help you create a plan for every big financial decision you will ever have to make.

Finally, “The Real Cost of Living” gives another perspective into making financial decisions.

Author Carmen Wong Ulrich tells readers the personal and monetary implications of many situations people come across, from buying a latte to deciding whether or not to go back to school.

This book differs from the others because it talks about all of the “real costs” associated with everyday decisions as well, such as how much smoking really costs or how much it actually costs to manage your own business.

However, these costs are not only monetary; they can also be personal.

By reading these different books, you can gain many different perspectives on how people manage their money and how you can apply their lessons to your own life.

It is always best to learn from experience, so let the experiences of these seasoned authors help get you where you want to be.

Column

Smartphones change the way we think PAUL KROEGER Opinion Editor pkroeger@smu.edu Over the weekend, I got a new iPhone 4S. It replaced my old, lumbering, but well loved iPhone 3G. One of my first encounters with my new phone involved Siri, Apple’s new feature that reads your voice and acts as a personal assistant. You can ask Siri to make reminders for you, check the weather, write notes, and search the internet.

I noticed that nearly instantly, Siri became a “she,” not an “it.” I instinctively and unnecessarily thanked her after asking her to remind me to write this opinion. She naturally responded, “Just doing my job.” Siri has quickly implemented herself into my life, and I feel a somewhat personal attachment to her.

In a similar fashion, I think that my old iPhone changed the way I live. When I transferred all of my data from my old device onto my new one, I decided to restore my old iPhone to its factory defaults, removing all of the information that I had on it previously.

Much to my surprise, it took a lot of courage and thought to press the button that authorized this desecration of years of information. I realized that for three years, I had used that phone everyday. There aren’t that many voluntary things that you do everyday for three years.

My phone contained my entire calendar for those years.

Within weeks, I began recording every event, appointment and rehearsal on my phone’s calendar. On that device, I spoke to people that I love and found out that my grandfather passed away. I made friends and coordinated social outings. It also connected me to employers and my school through email.

The fact that I took the time to erase everything from my phone (and that it took some thinking) shows that it took on a personal role in my life. My texts, for example, are very private.

If someone read them, I would feel violated. As I erased the data, I felt like I was stealing the memories from something that I loved and used frequently for three years.

I know I am not alone in my reliance on my iPhone. Plenty of my fellow students use their smartphones to keep their schedules, social lives and school events in order. We also tend to use our phones to find information quickly, for better or worse.

A recent study by Betsy Sparrow, a psychologist at Columbia University, found that the post-Google lifestyle is different. She discovered that we are more likely to forget information if we know we can access it easily again. She also found that when asked trivia questions, people generally think about how to search for information on the internet rather than considering the question itself.

My reliance on my iPhone might be a little over the top. I do use it for work, school and my social life, and without it, I would most certainly forget about things. However the fact is, in today’s post-Google and post-smartphone age, we do have access to a vast amount of information almost instantly. We should accept the changes in technology and embrace the benefits. If it changes the way we retain information, then so be it. After all, we can always ask Siri to search things for us.

TUCKER KEENE tkeene@smu.edu There have only been two governors successfully recalled in American history ­­­­­­— Lynn Frazier of North Dakota in 1921 and Gray Davis of California in 2003.

Lynn Frazier was recalled because he was conspiring with the socialist “Nonpartisan League” to nationalize several of North Dakota’s industries, a blatant abuse of power and something that the conservative capitalist Independent Voters Association found appalling from a member of the Republican party. As such, it started an ultimately successful attempt to recall him from office.

In 2003, Gray Davis was blamed for a horribly managed budget crisis that involved Enron, widespread blackouts and an unstable energy market. He was so terribly ineffective in dealing with this crisis that he had to be removed from office.

So that brings us to Scott Walker. The Wisconsin governor implemented some crucial and necessary reforms to public sector union pensions, specifically in regard to teacher’s unions.

These reforms were so unpopular that Wisconsin Democrats in the legislature actually fled the state to try to stop these reforms from going into place. Riots funded by large national public sector unions broke out against Scott Walker’s planned reforms. Like most entitlements, the public sector pensions were unsustainable.

Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Andrew Cuomo of New York have both noticed this and taken the bull by the horns to try and solve this economic crisis. Rhode Island and Illinois both have the same problem, but Gov. Lincoln Chafe and Gov. Pat Quinn, respectively, have both failed miserably in trying to fix it without reforming the pension system and decided to raise taxes instead, which didn’t work.

Scott Walker’s reforms, as unpopular as they have been, have been quite successful. Reducing the hold that unions have on the education system means that

teachers can start being rewarded based on merit and not seniority.

Teachers who aren’t successful can start being terminated, ending the rubber room fiasco you see in some cities, where bad teachers get paid to sit in a room doing nothing for months or years at a time, wasting time, money and resources.

Walker’s reforms allowed for increased choice in the system, creating competition and allowing the free market to work, while saving the government from a serious budget crisis.

Perhaps I’m just a hopeless partisan, but I don’t see why making a bold political decision to try to fix the state’s dire economic situation puts someone in the same world as Lynn Frazier and his socialist power grab and Gray Davis’s Enron-entangled mismanagement of an energy crisis.

To go through the process of a recall election for a governor because we were unhappy with their necessary economic reforms seems silly, immature and partisan, and it wouldn’t set a good precedent for the future as we see these problems surface nationally.

The truth is that the only reason we are seeing this recall election is because the national public sector unions see that their time sucking at the government teat is near an end, and they are scared to death of what might have to happen to them after the government realizes this must stop.

Walker’s fight in Wisconsin has foreshadowed the upcoming debate we’ll have nationally about entitlement reforms such as Medicare and Social Security.

These reforms are similarly necessary and will be similarly unpopular, but if we see the kind of things we see in Wisconsin nationwide, this country will have great trouble getting back to a place of fiscal discipline, and that’s a much larger and scarier problem than the situation in Wisconsin right now.

DEMOCRAT MICHAEL WILBURN mwilburn@smu.edu An often overlooked but powerful elected office is that of governor.

It is easy to look at D.C. for all of the action.

People often worry about how the policies from Washington will shape our nation.

But if your backyard is burning, you might need to focus elsewhere.

I have lived in Texas my whole life, and unfortunately I am used to a lackluster governor in Rick Perry.

I honestly thought a governor could not get any worse, but Scott Walker has given Rick Perry a run for his money.

Scott Walker is the governor of Wisconsin, at least for now.

He has been so unpopular that he is currently facing a recall vote.

This is like facing impeachment as president.

This type of action is a result of protest against his leadership by not only Democrats but also the people of Wisconsin.

This is not a partisan issue; it is an issue of public outcry.

As reported in the Wisconsin State Journal, “Despite conservatives’ fears of an army of Mickey Mouses and Adolf Hitlers signing recall petitions against Gov. Scott Walker, elections officials found only five fake names and nearly 901,000 valid signatures collected to recall the Republican governor — far more than enough needed for the election to go forward.”

This number was well above the requirement for petitioning, as also reported, “GAB staff said in a memo released Thursday that 900,938 valid signatures were collected on petitions seeking to recall Walker, and about 808,990 were gathered on those seeking to recall Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.

The minimum needed to trigger a recall was 540,208 signatures for each of them.”

What sparked such a response against Scott Walker?

It was because he rammed through unpopular policies based

on his ideology.

It is one thing to pass legislation based on your parties wants, it is another to overreach. Scott Walker rammed through legislation that emaciated unions.

He did this to limit a support base for Democrats.

If Walker would have taken a more moderate approach in limiting union power, which may have still been undesirable, he would have probably escaped much ire.

The policies of the Walker government have negatively impacted people.

As summarized in the Associated Press, “The law requires almost all public employees on all levels of government — from teachers to librarians to state Capitol janitors — to contribute more to their health care and pensions. The changes amount to an average 8 percent pay cut. The bill also takes away almost all their collective bargaining powers, allowing them to negotiate only on wages.”

Scott Walker made a fatal mistake of not finding some type of compromise. If he would have taken a balanced approach, he would not be under so much pressure.

While I would still disagree with him and sign the recall petition, many others might not have if his policies were not so extreme.

Scott Walker’s recall election shows just how polarized American politics currently is.

Instead of governing for the people, the first thing he did was cater to the more extreme side of his party.

If American politics is ever going to work again, we must find ways to compromise and focus on the people first.

Student Senators respond to report Alex Ehmke aehmke@smu.edu I pride myself on having a good relationship with The Daily Campus, but a recent article about the Student Senate finance committee published above the fold on Monday went too far with its inaccuracies and the credibility it gave to sources that were largely misinformed.

Much of this misguided editorializing could have been cleared up if either of the reporters had bothered to contact either the president or the vice-president of the organization in question, both of whom have served on finance committee extensively.

Before I offer my opinion on the views expressed in the piece, I would like to clarify several factual errors present in the article: 1.

Budgets are not reviewed in the order they are received, with late submissions receiving the tail end of consideration ­— they are processed alphabetically.

2.

Budget meetings are not held at the “start” of each semester as the article stated twice — budget meetings for an upcoming semester occur in the middle of the preceding semester.

3.

Per the comptroller’s office, the “$775,000” in discretionary funds that the authors refer to is actually closer to $577,000 after the necessary salaries, Hughes-Trigg contract fees and Student Media Co. contract expenses are removed.

4.

While the article stated that students “purchased” tickets for the Gavin DeGraw concert, those tickets were actually free.

Furthermore, Michael Graves, the president of the Religious Studies Club whose experience was detailed in the article, aired several objections. In a Facebook comment on The Daily Campus’ fan page, he wrote that his

position was “misrepresented in [the] article,” explaining that the authors gave the wrong impression about his club’s experience, and indicated that the Finance Committee gave his organization a full explanation of why they did not receive the funding they’d ask for.

But that wasn’t the only problem the authors had with sources.

While the authors may have assumed that the information they gleaned from interviews with the student body secretary was accurate, responsible reporters would have realized that this source has no affiliation or direct experience on finance committee and therefore has no direct evidence to support the assertions she made.

Furthermore, while I certainly believe that The Daily Campus should run corrections for all four of these glaring errors, factual mistakes are not my only concern with this article.

This most recent article advocated the conclusion that the finance committee is a wholly secretive organization, responsible to no one, that doles out funds on a whim and fancy. This message, which from my perspective seemed compelled by the experience of a single, spurned organization’s representative, could not be further from the truth.

The ability to charter and finance SMU organizations is one of the greatest powers that has been delegated to the Student Senate.

Accepting that power, Senate has implemented crucial checks on the power of the finance committee that ensure its balance and accountability.

Firstly, no decision of the finance committee is final under any circumstances. The Student Senate is structured such that

no official business is approved or disapproved at the committee level, but must be brought back to the chamber as a whole. In this setting, grievances can be aired and complaints from relevant organizations can be heard over a two-week process.

None of this was mentioned in the article.

Secondly, the decisions of the finance committee are by no means “arbitrary” but instead are dictated by an extensive list of rules — all of which are made public on the Senate’s website.

Furthermore, while reasons for funding levels are not included in the initial reporting to organizations, these student groups can easily seek a comprehensive explanation through the complaint process.

In my four years in Student Senate, I have seen numerous organizations complain about their allocated funding, and many of these objections have been rectified. Communication is a twoway street, and if organizations require greater explanation of why they were funded x or y, they need only ask.

Thirdly, it is crucial for a responsible funding body to be able to bring in as much information as possible to make its decisions. One of the most essential considerations is the potential success of the event in question. In this regard, the article unfairly targeted Program Council, framing it as a metaphorical funding vampire that sucks money away from organizations.

But compared to every other student organization with the possible exception of Student Foundation, Program Council has had the greatest success at organizing and supplying events that students actually attend (see Sing Song, Ke$ha, Guster, Gavin DeGraw). Then, compare Program

Council to the Political Science Symposium — the organization the authors used repeatedly as an example — which has not put on a heavily attended event in my four years at SMU. Condemning Program Council’s budget size without understanding their relative contribution to student activities created the grounds for many of the blind accusations made in this article.

I enjoy and agree with many of the investigative pieces The Daily Campus has published in the past. Articles on the board of trustees, the salaries of SMU employees and even articles on Senate itself have been helpful and informative.

However, investigative reporting must be done in a responsible way. The manner in which the authors chose to go about reporting in this article was not only careless and haphazard but also unfortunately casts doubt on the rest of the fine work this paper does.

Family secrets revealed in ‘Osage County’ ALLY VAN DEUREN Contributing Writer avandueren@smu.edu You may believe that you come from a dysfunctional family until you are drawn into the country home of the matriarchal Weston family just outside Pawhuska, Oklahoma during the summer of 2007.

It is messy, overwhelming and distressing, but at the same time, very real and believable. In fact, an entire generation of Weston family secrets are revealed in the WaterTower Theatre’s production of “August: Osage County” by Tracy Letts, arguably one of the most loaded, exciting and dynamic contemporary plays of the 21st century.

“August: Osage County” is directed by René Moreno.

The show opens on Beverly Weston (Cliff Stephens), who is speaking with a Native American woman who he hires as a cook and caregiver for his wife, Violet (Pam Dougherty), who is being treated for mouth cancer. He admits to being an alcoholic and reveals Violet’s addictions to prescription drugs.

He says, “My wife takes pills, and I drink. That’s the bargain

The prologue and first act is primarily exposition, setting up the chaos and trauma that becomes clearer in the second two acts.

A few weeks later, Beverly goes missing. As the family members start arriving, the family drama and chaos ensues.

Just when you are certain things cannot get worse, they do. This comes with an overwhelming sense of tragedy and misfortune for the Weston family, but also with a tinge of humor.

Violet has suffered a rough childhood and as a result, is verbally abusive to her family, most specifically her three daughters, Ivy (Kristin McCollum), Barbara (Sherry Jo Ward) and Karen (Jessica Cavanagh), judging them and bringing them down with her sharp tongue as an effort to feel better.

The shy Ivy lives nearby and has never gotten married, much to her mother’s chagrin. What no one knows is that she has been secretly seeing her first cousin, Little Charles (Clay Yocum), who is equally shy and awkward.

(James Crawford), who has had an affair with one of his younger college students, and their 14-yearold pot-smoking daughter, Jean (Ruby Westfall).

The youngest daughter, Karen, arrives late with her fiancé, Steve (Chris Huey), yearning to tell her family about her new-found love interest.

Also in the mix are Violet’s sister Mattie Fay Aiken (Nancy Sherrard) and her husband Charlie Aiken (Tom Lenaghen), as well as county sheriff and Barbara’s high school prom date Sheriff Deon Gilbeau (Stan Graner) and Violet’s housekeeper Johnna Monevata (Sasha Truman-McGonnell).

There is not a single weak link in the whole motley crew that shows up for this family reunion.

Dougherty, as the troubled Violet, is equally tragic as she is aggressive.

She commands attention on stage, with her constant altering state of mind that is both terrifying and heartbreaking for the audience.

Ward plays Barbara with both unbelievable strength and sensitivity in dealing with the situations of her sick mother, her estranged husband and troubled daughter.

Crawford makes his seemingly unforgiving character as Barbara’s cheating husband into a devastating, even respectable man. And Westfall is very believable as the Fordhams’ daughter.

Rodney Dobbs’ beautiful and eerie three-story set fits the mood and context of the play well, with its refined architecture and furnishings.

Letts’ play is three hours of thought-provoking, meaningful bliss and is performed by the group at the WaterTower with unbelievable specificity and truthfulness.

There is something so respectable about how brutally honest the play is with Letts’ ingenuous details with regard to his characters, family dynamics and plot.

That being said, this is certainly not feel-good theater by any means.

In fact, do not see it on an empty stomach, as it will flip and turn at the different plot twists and cringe moments throughout the show.

You may even learn to appreciate your own family as a result of seeing this play.

The play runs until April 22 at WaterTower Theatre in Addison, Texas.

and the nightclub he managed planted a seed in her mind.

After an encouraging meeting with resident jazzman and Dean of Meadows School of the Arts Jose Bowen, she decided to go for it. Bowen has played the piano for 40 years.

“Teddy Hill is an important figure in the history of jazz, and not just her grandpa. This story needs to be told,” he said.

She hopes to shoot as much as possible during the summer and hopefully to present in November.

To help her raise the money, Redmond has taken to Indiegogo and Kickstarter, two popular fundraising websites. She now has raised just under $2,000 of her $13,000 goal.

Born in 1909 in Birmingham, Ala. Hill was a big band leader until Henry Minton hired him in 1940 as the manager of Minton’s Playhouse. He left the club in 1969. But before he left, he helped to create a place where musicians could play, experiment and innovate. Hill passed away in Cleveland in 1978.

There is no question that Teddy Hill was instrumental in a movement known as bebop.

“That led to this whole incubator. Arguably, Minton’s birthed a musical movement in one room and that was bebop,” Redmond said. “Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, my grandfather’s best friend Charlie Christian and others, came to Minton’s to just hang out and play.”

Bowen believes that Bebop might not have existed without Hill.

“Teddy Hill was a musician who also ran a club, where he let

musicians experiment and play what they wanted. Everyone wanted to hang out at Mintons”, he said. “Miles Davis would cut class at Juilliard to go up to Harlem and hang out there. It was very important for the history of jazz.”

Craig Flournoy, who holds a doctorate in journalism, first experienced bebop while living in New Orleans. A friend took him to a jazz club where many of the musicians were playing bebop.

“The musicians played bebop with long solos that would begin slow and pick up speed as each one improvised his version of the song,” Flournoy said.

He described bebop as, “Music that asks you to throw off your clothes (metaphorically speaking) and is rhythmic and rocking in a way no big band sound could ever hope to emulate.”

The impact of this jazz movement was not only felt in music.

“It had a tremendous influence on Beat Generation novelists like Jack Kerouac and poets such as Allen Ginsberg,” Flournoy said. “[Kerouac] and his contemporaries were looking for something new and unconventional, a style that was less rigid and more spontaneous. Bebop and jazz were perfect because while they provided a structure, they emphasized improvisation based on spontaneity.”

These musicians, who hammered thunder and lightning out of brass and ivory, still inspire. Redmond is fascinated by the impact of her grandfather and the other legends he nurtured.

Men take fourth at Woodlands All-American AUSTIN MANIERRE Staff Writer amanierre@smu.edu

Dallas Mavericks forward Lamar Odom works against Memphis Grizzlies forward Dante Cunningham during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Dallas on Wednesday, April 4,. Odom was recently moved to the Mavs’ inactive list, marking his departure from the Dallas basketball team.

Hit the Road, Odom...

BROOKE WILLIAMSON Sports Editor kbwilliamson@smu.edu It is 50 games and done for Lamar Odom.

The defending NBA champions, the Dallas Mavericks are hoping to find their way back into the playoffs, and they have made it clear Odom is not helping.

As news broke, the now ever popular “memes” about Odom and the Mavericks arose and circulated quickly. “A true Kardashian … getting paid for doing nothing,” one said.

Odom moved to Dallas with wife and reality TV co-star, Khloe

Kardashian, after the Lakers felt the need to move the forward to Dallas ­— a move seen by the Mavericks as low risk.

Moving Odom meant moving the TV show, and now it may mean moving it again — leaving fans of the reality show on their toes.

While in the Mavericks uniform, he only averaged 6.6 points and 20.5 minutes a game.

Odom was also booed several times by Mavs fans because of his performances remained sluggish.

Fans are not the only ones that gave Odom the what for, sources that were around Odom and owner Mark Cuban in the visitor locker room in Memphis last

Saturday said Odom and Cuban had a not-so-friendly discussion during halftime.

News of Odom’s release from the Mavs and move to the inactive list had sports reporters lined up in Dallas.

Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd left practice on Monday without talking to reporters.

However, Odom did speak to the media releasing a statement saying, “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out better for both of us,” he said.

“But I wish the Mavs’ organization, my teammates and Dallas fans nothing but continued success in the defense of their championship.”.

The Mavs have only nine regular season games left on the schedule.

“We’ll adjust. We’ve got other guys,” Coach Carlisle said.

The Mavs have recalled guardforward Kelenna Azubuike from the NBA Developmental League.

Azubuike has not played in a NBA game since injuring a knee two seasons ago.

Recently, there has also been some talk about the Mavs bringing back two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash back to Dallas.

For now, center Dwight Howard and point guard Deron Williams are possible future free agent options for an aging Mavericks team.

The SMU men’s golf team, ranked 44th nationally, finished their final round on Tuesday in Houston.

They finished the tournament with a final combined score of 857.

The Mustangs started the tournament worse than they’ would have liked, recording a 290 on the first day, which put the team tied for seventh place.

SMU bounced back nicely, though, scoring a 281 on the second round, and finally a 286 in the third.

While a combined 857 was good enough for fourth for the Mustangs, Texas A&M shot an 845 to place third, North Texas had 842 at second and Arkansas finished first with 841.

Individuals that competed in the tournament for the Mustangs included Marc Sambol, Matt Schovee, Max Buckley, Harry Higgs and Sam Fidone.

Of the 81 competitors, Higgs finished sixth and Sambol finished in a three-way tie for seventh.

Although these two finished close to each other at the end of the third round, their scorecards look dramatically different.

Higgs went into the third round in a tie for fifteenth place, shooting -2 and even in the first and second rounds.

On the final day, Higgs greatly improved his position by shooting -3 and jumping up nine spots in the rankings.

Sambol, on the other hand, came into the third round tied for third place, shooting one

under and five under on the first two rounds.

In the last round, Sambol went two over, which dropped the senior down four spots to seventh.

Other finishes for the Mustangs included Buckley finishing in a tie for 29th, Schovee finishing in a tie for 42nd and Fidone finishing in a tie for 70th.

The individual winner of the tournament was Geoff Shaw, out of Texas A&M, who finished three rounds at a total of eleven under.

Shaw was consistent and played well through all three rounds, but did not record the single best round score.

This lowest 18-hole score was held by Arkansas’ Sabastian Cappelen, who shot a 65 in the second round.

This 65 tied an All-American Intercollegiate record, as only seven players in the tournament’s history have posted a score that low.

The Mustangs will next compete in the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate, held in Colombus, Ohio, on April 14 and April 15.

Following this, SMU’s final competition will be the Conference USA Championship in Texarkana, Arkansas.

The C-USA Championship will begin on April 22 and go through April 24.

In last year’s season, SMU finished in a tie for eighth in the C-USA Championship. The team was led by standout Kelly Kraft, who later won the U.S. Amateur in August. This earned him a spot in this year’s Masters, U.S. Open and British Open. At the Masters this weekend, Kraft finished 62nd.
