Rebels gain Gaddafi assets NATO and the leaders of Middle Eastern and African countries have agreed to work quickly to transfer Gaddafi’s frozen assets to the rebels. Rebel leader Abudl Hafidh Ghoga has expressed optimism about members of the coalition soon arming the rebels, but he would not reveal whether any agreement had been reached.

If the rebels get military aid, it will probably be from single nations as opposed to the coalition as a whole.

SMU marks centennial with Founder’s Day weekend festivities

By MICHAEL MITCHELL Contributing Writer mmitchell@smu.edu

Campus will be crowded this week as students, faculty and alumni join together to commemorate SMU’s 100th birthday.

Though the university’s official birthday is Sunday, SMU will be celebrating Founder’s Weekend through a weekend full of festivities. Within SMU’s centurylong existence, the university has overcome the disappointments in the athletic department and has continually improved academics and an increasingly

robust endowment.

It only seems fitting that SMU would celebrate its 100 years of excellence in higher education.

“Founder’s Day Weekend will be a great opportunity for students, faculty, staff, our alumni and our friends from Dallas and around the globe to recognize all that SMU has accomplished since its founding 100 years ago and all that is to come,” Vice President of Development and External Affairs Brad Cheves said, “It truly is the kickoff for our next century of achievement.”

The Centennial Celebration will kick off the festivities in the Main Quad at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. Those who attend will have the privilege of hearing the Mustang Band perform as the Centennial Flag is raised. There will be a giant birthday card to the university for students and alumni to sign and refreshments will be provided.

The celebration will conclude with a “one-of-a-kind” fireworks show over Dallas Hall.

Later in the day, President Turner will give his remarks on SMU’s progress

SENATE

Students react to recent LGBT seat vote

By MEREDITH SHAMBURGER Online Editor mshamburge@smu.edu

SMU students have differing opinions when it comes to the recent Student Senate vote on whether to add an LGBT senator.

Tuesday’s vote of 18 ayes and 13 nays failed to get the two-thirds vote needed for the legislation to pass.

Spectrum Co-President-Elect and freshman Samual Partida was disappointed by the vote and feels there’s a disconnect between Senate and the student body. He says the LGBT community needs to be heard.

“I feel that to ignore this group just kind of legitimizes any sort of action or behavior that is anti-LGBT,” he said.

Freshman Matthew Bolaños, an LGBT student, disagrees with special interest seats because he feels that students should only get one vote and one senator. He said the LGBT seat would have opened a large can of worms, because it would lead to other special interest seats being created.

Bolaños also felt that it was unrealistic to determine how many LGBT students were on campus, noting that sexuality lies along a spectrum and that there wasn’t just a dichotomy between gay and straight.

Junior Kelsey Pearson felt the vote was unfair.

“There are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students on campus,

so I don’t see why they shouldn’t have representation that other people do,” she said.

Adding an LGBT seat would have set that community apart, sophomore Grace Choi said, but not in a beneficial way. Choi felt there were other ways to help them.

Ph.D. candidate Bryan Rodriguez doesn’t see a negative to adding an LGBT seat, saying that adding the seat makes sense if the group has a need. If nothing else, he said, it would add more diverse insights to Senate.

Freshman Chris Chung signed the petition to have an LGBT senator, but he said he also thinks that it’s important to get an exact number when deciding to add a seat.

“Numbers do make a difference,” he said, saying that senators have to know who their constituency is.

Junior April Zinober feels that the point of Senate is to represent all diverse campus groups, especially since Student Senate has a huge impact on campus.

“I think it’s unfortunate that although SMU has slowly become more progressive, they’re unable to reach out and actually represent all of their students, especially people who are not necessarily—their interests aren’t always kept in mind,” she said.

Critic takes heat, eats on

By TAYLOR ADAMS Editor-in-Chief tadams@smu.edu

Evident from the endless posts from self-proclaimed foodies on the Internet, the topic of food is a predominant one in the blogosphere.

Then there are others who are not self-proclaimed, but credible in their knowledge of food and dining. Sure, many turn to dining at Dean Fearing’s restaurant or watching Giada De Laurentiis’ cooking show, but many Dallasites go to the Guide section of the

Dallas Morning News (DMN) to see the latest restaurant review.

Very few would recognize her walking on the street or even dining in a restaurant. Forget trying to find her on a reservation list—it’s a guarantee she doesn’t have her name on it.

Leslie Brenner, restaurant critic and dining editor at the DMN, spends at least five evenings dining out.

Dining from restaurant to restaurant, Brenner keeps her identity unknown,

It’s April 15, the infamous deadline to file federal income taxes.

But, this year everyone has three extra days due to the Emancipation Day holiday.

The Washington, D.C. holiday commemorates the day when Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act that freed slaves in the District of Columbia in 1862.

In 2005, D.C. passed legislation to make Emancipation Day an official public holiday.

Similarly, Texas celebrates the emancipation of slavery on June 10.

So if you were wondering why taxes are due April 18 this year, now you know, and can tell your friends.

But more importantly, what should you do with that refund check in the next few weeks?

Most people forget that they’ll be getting a refund check until April, so it is always a nice bonus to see that extra cash inflow from the IRS. If you don’t really need the extra income, why not put it away for a rainy day or spend the money on a quality, memorable experience?

Book a plane ticket to visit someone in another city. Go to a concert. Treat yourself to a nice dinner with close friends.

The value will not wane like that of a new handbag. The return on this investment will be memories that stick.

If you haven’t filed your taxes, you can find a list of free file companies at IRS.gov.

Be sure to have the funds routed to your bank account. It shouldn’t take longer than two weeks to receive the refund.

For future reference to maximize deductions, don’t forget to keep track of charitable donations to events on campus. SMU students consistently support philanthropic groups throughout the year.

Make a donation to Relay for Life tonight and you can write it off next year. Textbooks are also a good deduction your parents may appreciate.

Moral of the story – save your receipts for these expenditures and you’ll get more back on your taxes.

HUNT INSTITUTE

Engineering and Humanity Week brings ideas, innovation to solve third world problems

By JOSHUA PARR Managing Editor jrparr@smu.edu

There’s been an earthquake. Your town has been devastated and you are forced to evacuate. You don’t know how long it will be before you can return.

It could be weeks or months. You are without shelter, food or water. What do you do?

Many SMU students faced a similar scenario this week as they volunteered to sleep overnight in temporary shelters used by those displaced by war or disaster.

The Hunt Institute hosted the Engineering and Humanity Week to bring awareness about real-life situations

Anti-frizz hair treatment causes beauty blow-up

SMU junior hosts event at Diane von Furstenberg

By RACHAEL BORNE Contributing Writer rborne@smu.edu

The Brazilian Blowout is a hair relaxing treatment that reduces frizz without completely straightening the hair. However the chemical compound in Brazilian Blowout formula has caused a stir.

Salons of Dallas face a difficult decision to continue the service or discard it completely. Health Canada released a statement in October, claiming the Brazilian Blowout formula tested contained a large amount of formaldehyde. Not only is the client at risk, but the technician applying the treatment for hours at a time is affected.

Some of the health issues clients and technicians experienced were burning eyes, throat and nose, and some breathing difficulties. The treatment lasts from one to three hours, depending on the length of hair.

The Frederic Fekkai salon in Highland Park Village quit carrying the treatment before the bad reports surfaced. Salon employee Jessica Woods said the “official reason” why the company discontinued the service was the results found from the independent research they conducted on the formula.

“The company did extra research and decided it was not the product they wanted to carry,” Woods said.

However, Lauren Langager, a Brazilian Blowout technician at Osgood O’Neil salon on Lovers Lane, has a different view on the formula.

“It is still very safe to use,” she said.

Osgood O’Neil salon recently received a letter from the Brazilian Blowout Co., announcing the original bad report has now been retracted.

“They said it had formaldehyde in it but now they have retracted that statement. We have never had any problems with the formula and we have been doing it for a while now,”

Langager said.

Woods was aware of the recent retraction but is not convinced they completely changed the formula to a safe level. She has her own opinion of what actually happened.

“In reality, the company just tweaked the chemical compound in order to the label of formaldehyde,” Woods said.

Neither the Frederic Fekkai nor the Osgood O’Neil salons of Dallas had any problems with the treatment, both with clients and technicians.

Avalon Salon in Snider Plaza also offers the treatment. Technician Michelle Keys swears by the formula and claims her clients are addicted to it. Keys also believes the media blew a bad report out of proportion.

She believes there is such a small percentage of formaldehyde that it is “no big deal at all.”

“In fact, there is more formaldehyde in nail polish than in the Brazilian Blowout formula. The amount of ammonia in the formula is more excessive compared to other product like this one.”

But out of all the brands similar to the Brazilian Blowout, Keys found this one to be the best.

“I have clients saving their money so they can come back every three to four months,” said Keys.

Woods said Frederic Fekkai still receives calls to the salon about booking this treatment but not as many since the bad report was released.

“I think most people are aware of the negative effects,” she said.

But Langager has had a different reaction from clients.

“We have had only a few people who have decided to discontinue the treatment process, but we still have bookings for tons of them,” she said.

“Anyone I have ever done has come back for it. The Brazilian Blowout is a great product that is addicting and life changing,” Keys said.

SMU junior Krystal Schlegel and Dallas-based accessories blogger Tina Craig of BagSnob. com, hosted an event at Diane von Furstenberg in Highland Park Village Tuesday night.

Students and Bag Snob readers dressed in distinctively Diane von Furstenberg pieces like floral dresses, ruffled rompers and brightly colored tops at the event that benefitted the North Texas Food Bank.

Craig carried a Harper Day Bag in dark brown all night, while her fellow co-host tried on a bold blue cross body bag.

“I love her bright accessories,” Schlegel said.

Junior Jordan Kragen is looking forward to spring’s ‘70s look.

“DVF’s ‘Elalia’ dress is a perfect choice for the maxi dress trend,” Kragen said.

Junior Tracy Diers says she has her eye on the designer’s selections of bathing suits for summer. “They look great on all body types, and every year they come out with new, fun and colorful patterns,” Diers said.

While color seemed to be the trend amongst the crowd, junior Carson Eisenhart says his favorite look this spring is a little more edgy.

Eisenhart says his favorite trend this season is “without a doubt the reincarnation of punk,” a look he calls “polished punk.”

Senior Catherine Van Dyke said the event was a success.

“It was a blast drinking champagne and shopping with friends,” Van Dyke said.

New Eisley album delivers for fans

A movie you’ll ‘Scream 4’

By ERIN GILMORE Contributing Writer egilmore@smu.edu

Eisley’s new piece of work, “The Valley,” is its sixth album in which it not only continues with its rock roots, but lead singers Stacy and Sherri DuPree incorporate some new found vocals they have perfected in the past three years.

Some songs trail hints of the style that modern-folk musicians Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles, Rilo Kiley and A Fine Frenzy pop into their own tunes, giving Eisley a unique, singersongwriter flare.

Title track, “The Valley,” is a beautiful welcome to the album’s randomness in style, track-by-track.

Anybody who has followed this band

since their heyday at the Plano Centre and the Third String Production era can feel their revisit to it with “Smarter.”

But just through that song, it’s as if they’ve told themselves that they enjoy maturing in the direction they are, and continued back on their road with the talented, piano-souled girl posse.

With vocals from the heart and serious collaborations between the sisters, it might make it a good thing for the sisters to always work together.

Every song has masterful refrains and undercover climbs that elevate just as the lyrics do, equaling an unexpected combination—making this album extra cool.

Old series’ new film brings the horror film back from the dead

By CHASE WADE Associate A&E Editor cdwade@smu.edu

Usually, when a film franchise reaches its fourth installment, the end product turns out to be a misguided, almost unwatchable movie that is far from as good as the original.

However, in the case of the newly revived “Scream” movies, the fourth film just may be the best one yet.

Featuring an assortment of characters, both new and returning, “Scream 4” plays to the roots of the original movie and tells a story that only director Wes Craven could pull off.

The film follows the series main character, Sidney Prescott (Neve Cambpell), as she returns to her

hometown of Woodboro, Calif.

Prescott, who is returning to Woodsboro to promote her new self-help book, “Out of the Darkness,” is welcomed by blood-covered copies of the book in her rental car, which is only the beginning of the bloodshed to come.

In fact, “Scream 4” has the highest body count of any film in the series.

More familiar faces return with the former couple, Courtney Cox and David Arquette’s characters, Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley.

The student body will be hosting Relay for Life from 5:30 p.m. Friday to 5:30 a.m Saturday on the Boulevard.

There are currently 45 teams signed up to participate and almost $60,000 has already been raised. The 12-hour walkathon, which celebrates the lives of people who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost and fights back against the disease, benefits the American Cancer Society.

On Sunday, the celebration will come to an end with the inaugural Lighting of the Dome: A Tribute to Dallas from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. For 10 evenings, representing SMU’s 10 decades, the dome of Dallas Hall will be lit in honor of the citizens of Dallas who generously provided the funds for SMU’s first building on the Hilltop.

Founder’s Day Weekend aims to celebrate the past 100 years of SMU, while offering a glimpse of what is to come over the next century.

“With rising student and faculty quality, growing recognition of the impact of our faculty and student research and our global reach… our greatest accomplishment is in becoming the university our founders dreamed we could be,” Cheves said. “Our second century will see SMU continue that momentum with a rigorous focus on creating knowledge that will benefit Dallas and the world.”

CORRECTION The Daily Campus received and printed an erroneous roll call vote tally from Student Senate.

Sen. Jonathan Ishamel (Dedman I) voted “Nay,” not “Aye.” Sen. Hiba Ibad was absent during the vote and did not vote “Nay” as reported. The Daily Campus regrets the error.

“We have more internally displaced people on the planet than we have ever had,” Stephanie Hunt said. “I think it’s important to share this knowledge with students, they’re the next generation that is going to go out there and deal with the issue.”

The slogan for the week, “Change the conversation to action,” gives SMU engineering students an opportunity to use the knowledge they learn in the classroom to help improve the lives of others around the world.

The physical centerpiece for the week, the Living Village showcased various temporary shelters designed to house people living in extreme poverty or displaced by war or natural disaster.

“The purpose of living in the village is to gain a better understanding of the problems that more than half of the world are faced with, see some solutions that have been developed and find how we can use our skills to create a better world,” SMU junior engineering major Corbin Swagerty said.

Students who stayed overnight in these shelters slept there with the goal of assessing the living conditions in mind.

Each student wrote a blog about his or her personal experience in the village and offered ways to improve the structures

or design other innovative ways to meet basic needs.

The week-long event exceeded Dean of Lyle School of Engineering Geoffrey Orsak’s expectations. Orsak hopes to make E and H week an annual event.

“With the level of enthusiasm we received, I can’t imagine not continuing E and H week. But I hope we can remember that we don’t have to wait for a special week to have an impact. We can make change every day,” Orsak said.

Apart from the village, E and H week also featured various panels and lectures about how to engage engineers and gather innovative minds to improve living situations around the world.

“This week there has been significantly more discussion about how we as engineers can use our gifts to serve those in need,” Swagerty said.

Swagerty and a team of engineering students created a swing set that generates power to radio, light and a USB port for electricity.

“There is so much pain in the world but there’s also a lot of ways to help and to give hope and love,” SMU sophomore Travis Miller said. “The whole goal is to use the education we’ve been given to help other out and show them that life would be something more than what they have.”

Mustangs tie for 12th at Baylor Invitational; Villamil places 11th

By EJ HOLLAND Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

The SMU women’s golf team competed for the last time this year, before heading to the Conference USA Championships, in Waco, Texas to take part in the Baylor Invitational held at the Twin Rivers Golf Club this week.

The two-day tournament featured 18 teams from across the nation, including the Mustangs who tied for12th overall after posting a 946.

Individually, SMU had a solid showing from freshman Maria Elena Villamil who finished just outside the top 10 (11th) after recording an 11 over (227).

Villamil is originally from Madrid, Spain and came to SMU after being a part of the National Team of the Royal

Spanish Golf Federation.

For her efforts, Villamil was named Conference USA Golfer of the Week.

This is the first Golfer of the week honor of her career and also the first time an SMU women’s golfer has been honored with the weekly award in over a year.

Fellow freshman Amy Ruengmateekhun individually placed 49th overall with a 21 over (237).

Ruengmateekhun is from Garland, Texas and attended Bishop Lynch High School, where she was an All District and All State selection all four years.

Junior Elizabeth Wells and sophomore Felicia Espericueta finished, respectively, in 59th place with a 24 over (240) and 75th place with a thirty one over (247).

Sophomore Melanie White finished tied for 88th place with a 39over (255).

Texas Tech won the Baylor Invitational. The Red Raiders finished with a score of 899 and also claimed the individual champion with Alex Gibson.

On Wednesday, SMU announced that former Texas A&M Head Coach Jeanne Suthlerland had been hired to fill the head coaching vacancy on the Hilltop.

Sutherland helped lead the Aggies to three Big 12 Conference championships and was named Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2006.

SMU will return to the course on April 17 heading to Gulf Shores, Al. to participate in the Conference USA Championships.

No. 59 SMU falls to No. 66 TCU

By JENNIFER BUNTZ Associate Sports Editor jbuntz@smu.edu

The SMU men’s tennis team traveled across town to take on the TCU Horned Frogs Wednesday evening. The Horned Frogs were ranked No. 66 going into the match and SMU was ranked No. 59.

First up for the evening was doubles play. No. 88 Gaston Cuadranti and Arteem Baradach were first off the court at line three doubles after being defeated by Zach Nichols and David Sanchez 8-5.

Next finished was Tobias Flood and Joseph Hattrup at line one, they lost to the duo of Paul Chappell and Cameron Nash 8-5. At this point having one two out of the three matches, TCU had secured the doubles point. Still left to finish was the line two tandem of Adham el-Effendi and recently recovered Daron Walsh. The Mustangs just couldn’t quite seal the deal, and lost 8-5 to Emanuel Brighiu and Christopher Price.

After a short break, the singles play was underway. SMU knew since it lost the doubles point their players must win at least four of the matches to take home a win.

At line one singles, No. 79 Brighiu defeated Baradach in a long three setter 7-6 (8), 5-7, 6-4. Baradach had to sit out the last few matches due to an injury, but fought to participate in the rivalry. The match was the last to finish.

Mischa Nowicki, who was fourth to finish, defeated his opponent Slah Mbarek in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.

Cuadranti also took home a win against Price 6-4, 6-3.

doubles from an injury made his singles debut back in TCU territory. He battled a long double tie-breaker match against Sanchez, but came up short in a second set breaker 16-18.

EDITORIAL

Head injuries pose highest risk to athletes

By NICOLLE KEOGH Contributing Writer nkeogh@smu.edu

Injury reports for largely followed sports like football and basketball are always in the news. While injuries like shoulder tears and knee blow-outs are widely recognized and talked about among fans, another type of injury continues to do the most damage to athletes of all sports. But just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it should be ignored.

Because head injuries aren’t immediately noticeable to people the way a cast and crutches might be, they often get overlooked and underestimated by spectators, coaches and the players themselves. But the recent findings of a study on head injuries would have any

athlete taking precautions in their sport.

The problem is that many are unaware of the consequences, and it’s time that something is done about it.

Concussions are a very common injury in sports and can affect athletes of any sport and age. In many cases, it can be hard to detect an internal head injury. And much too often, with encouragement from spectators and coaches, players brush themselves off and get right back into the game without second thought.

Concussions are serious. An undocumented one is even worse. To go right back into the game and get hit repetitively without recovery time can be fatal, and athletes do it all the time.

For years doctors were unable to confidently pinpoint concussions

because they don’t show up on CT scans or MRIs. But in 2008 the Boston University School of Medicine started doing what doctors should have looked into years ago: examining the tissue of deceased former pro-athletes to see exactly what head trauma looks like from the inside. What they’ve detected in every case is devastating: chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

CTE is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that causes early dementia in victims. The disease is usually linked to retired pro-athletes who experience symptoms of memory loss, confusion and depression. Though it’s been linked with pro-athletes, in 2009, BU’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy found CTE in an 18-year-old multi-sport athlete, the youngest case to date.

Head injuries in pro boxers, wrestlers and football players may be expected, but extensive brain damage in an 18-year-old is alarming and unacceptable. I doubt that a person so young would enjoy knowing that their brain was in the condition of a 65-yearold’s, which shows that athletes— young and old— are unaware of the consequences of head injuries.

The problem is that many coaches don’t educate their athletes on the risks of their sport. Instead, many encourage their athletes to shake off an injury and get back in the game, lest they want to jeopardize their position on the team.

What’s even more scary is that young kids often start out playing every sport in the book— usually a different one each season— before they find their niche. Though this is a great way to develop a well-rounded and diverse athlete, it increases the likelihood of experiencing a concussion.

At today’s rate, an athlete starting football at the age of 10 could experience six-10,000 concussions in his entire career if he continues to play through college. If kids don’t learn the risks of head injuries at an early age, they’ll experience more avoidable impact than they should.

So this is what needs to happen: all athletes need to be educated on the risks of head injuries before playing their sport and coaches should adapt new strategies to avoid head contact.

Furthermore, national sports leagues should adopt new policies to reduce brain trauma in the game.

It’s undeniable that all athletes get banged and bruised here and there, but the science behind sports and concussions should be alarming to all parents and athletes. If we don’t make a change in sports policies now, the amount of CTE cases will grow and the results will be fatal.

FOOD: ‘Faceless’ critic shares art, struggles of food writing

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

using different names and carefully keeping her face off the Internet. Her seemingly clandestine life is necessary for her to review restaurants without owners or chefs giving her a privileged dining experience.

However, this life of dining and writing wasn’t what she always envisioned.

“I remember saying to my husband, ‘I will never ever ever ever ever be a restaurant critic,’” Brenner said.

The now restaurant critic originally went to Stanford. After working a few years in Hollywood on a TV show, she felt she didn’t love the town. New York was next on her list, as she pursued graduate school at Columbia for fiction writing.

However, her love for food had already been developing as she spent time in California and grew up with a mother who cooked.

“When I was at Stanford, it was the late ‘70s,” she said. “It was really kind of the heyday of California cuisine.”

Now, as an editor at the DMN, Brenner aims to provide reviews that are both informative and engaging.

“The most difficult thing about restaurant reviewing, if you have a restaurant review, is knocking one out every week that is going to be fun to read,” she said. “I think one of the main objectives of a restaurant review—or really, any kind of criticism—is that it needs to entertain the reader.”

Brenner portrays her opinion through both her restaurant reviews and her “Table Talk” column, which discusses food trends.

The food critic explained the necessity of giving the reader a vicarious experience through the writing, as many of the reviewed restaurants are expensive.

“There are a lot of readers who read them and say, ‘OK, I’m reading this review to decide whether to go and spend my hard-earned money at this restaurant,’ but there are a lot of other readers who just want to learn what it’s like,” she said.

Of course, through this vicarious experience comes the final decision of whether or not the restaurant is worth its

Dallas food critic Leslie Brenner takes great strides to not reveal her face. She uses this cartoon in her food reviews.

price tag. For Brenner, the final opinion of the restaurant can play a significant role in her writing.

“It’s way easier to write an entertaining negative review than it is to write and entertaining positive review.

Because when a restaurant is terrible, there are often really funny things that happen,” she said. “When something hilarious happens, it’s a gift. It’s a gift to the writer.”

While Brenner has heard that many consider her to be hyper critical of dining establishments, she is firm in her opinions.

“I think that I have high standards and I think that’s my job,” she said. “If somebody’s going to decide, ‘OK, I’m going to go out and spend $200 on this meal,’ that’s their hard-earned money.”

It’s because of this mentality that Brenner may come across as harsh in her critiques.

“I don’t see a point in giving a restaurant a pass when service is bad or the cooking is sloppy. There’s no point to that,” she said.

Brenner recently wrote on the physical effects of being a restaurant critic, and how she lost nearly 30 pounds while still savoring and reviewing.

“When you eat in a restaurant, how do they make the food taste good? Often, they put tons of butter in it, or tons of really fattening things,” she said.

For someone like Brenner who eats out at least five nights a week and numerous lunches out, it was almost easy for her to put on “quite a bit of weight”

when she moved to Dallas. She bumped her daily workout from 30 minutes a day and pursued what she calls “the Restaurant Critics’ Diet” “It’s extremely demanding on your body to eat like that, so that’s part of it. I don’t know if I could do it forever,” she said. “It’s demanding in a lot of ways, but it’s really fun.”

The critic, who is now fairly petite, does not have a favorite food of any kind. If you ask her this, she mulls it over before saying, “I just love food.”

She can, however, quickly answer the foods that she avoids: kidneys, hearts and bananas.

Brenner has traveled seemingly all over the world, acquiring the knowledge for various cuisines and the cultures surrounding them. Her “weak spot” in her food knowledge, as she puts it, is Korean food.

“The best critics I know have that really broad and deep knowledge—they call cook—and they all have experience with a lot of different cuisines.”

In 2010, Brenner received criticism for her “Best of DFW: Barbecue” list, which had a few overlapping locations of hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints with Daniel Vaughn’s list in D Magazine. According to a blog post on Side Dish from Nancy Nichols, local bloggers accused Brenner of taking the list, demanding that she apologize to Vaughn or list her sources. Nichols continues, saying that Vaughn did the “footwork” for the reporting, while Brenner has a list that “reads like a breezy, unranked rip-off of Vaughn’s work in D Magazine.”

Brenner’s report also includes an error that Bartley’s B-B-Q smokes its meat with oak wood, which is an error that D Magazine, and only D Magazine, published, according to Nichols.

Despite all of the publicity at the time, Brenner feels that the incident did not alter her reputation as a food critic.

SMU engineering student Courtney Kelley, left, compresses recycled plastic into an Ubuntu Blox as Ubuntu Blox inventor Harvey Lacey oversees Kelley’s work Thursday afternoon in the Hunt Institute’s Living Village.

Texas inventor turns trash into innovative solution

By ASHLEY WITHERS Associate News Editor awithers@smu.edu

The brightly colored T-shirts seen all over campus this week proclaim the theme of the Hunt Institute’s Engineering and Humanities Week: “Changing the conversation to action.”

But inventor Harvey Lacey is putting this into practice.

The Wylie, Texas resident remembers the exact day he came up with his interpretation of sustainable housing.

“It was November 18, 2010,” Lacey said. “I woke up out of a sound sleep and it was like the picture in my head just got clear.”

A couple of weeks earlier Lacey had attended a lecture on holistic housing given by Ronald Omyonga held at SMU. Omyonga is the Kenyan architect who designed the HabiHut, a structure displayed at the Living Village with Lacey’s Ubuntu Blox house.

“He said there are all these informally trained voices with outrageous schemes that have validity,’” Lacey said. “It was like he was saying ‘I believe in you.’ I mean I don’t even have a high school diploma, but I have ideas.”

And the Ubuntu Blox house was born.

Lacey’s house is a low-cost sustainable model that is made using bales of recycled plastic as the bricks and yellow clay as the plaster.

“What we do is teach them to use what they have at home,” Lacey said. “I don’t have to give it to them. I have to show them they have the raw materials there.”

Lacey also created and built the machine used to compress the plastic trash into the blocks. It was designed so that people of both genders and all sizes could operate the machine.

“Ubuntu,” the name of the house, is an African word that refers to a humanist philosophy focusing on caring, sharing and being in harmony

with all of creation.

“Ubuntu Blox. It screams what we’re about,” Lacey said.

Lacey hopes that he can take this experience beyond SMU’s campus.

Lacey has worked to create a partnership between SMU Lyle engineering students and students at Wylie High School. He would like to see a mutually beneficial relationship develop between the two.

He says that taking the knowledge he has gained at Engineering and Humanities Week and expanding it is what everything he had worked for is all about.

“Why can’t we make change?”

Lacey said. “Why can’t we make it different?”

COMMENTARY

An Egyptian father names his newborn daughter “Facebook” to honor the ways in which social media Julie Heidt helped induce revolution in Egypt. Some go as far to label the events in Egypt, a “Facebook revolution.”

Facebook changes social activism and revolution, as seen nearly two months ago, when 86,000 people joined a Facebook event to protest in Tahrir Square. Egyptian protests, known as the “people’s revolution,” organized around an idea—the overthrow of then-President Hosni Mubarak.

Social media tools act as the perfect vehicle for social revolution.

Egyptians could share ideas and opinions through social media, giving voice to the silenced population.

Malcom Gladwell wrote an infamous essay in the New Yorker magazine refuting the ability of social media tools to create meaningful social change in 2010. His essential argument is that revolutions existed

long before social platforms, yet he does not acknowledge the change over time.

Gladwell uses the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s to example “true” social activism. The values and goals of the non-violent movement, the meticulous execution, all occurred without the aid of social media, as Gladwell argues in an interview on CNN with Fareed Zakaria.

Gladwell emphasizes that people are the tools of revolution not social media. With regard to the recent revolutions, Gladwell states that Mubarak turned off Internet and cell phone towers, and the Egyptians organized and protested without social media tools.

This may be true. Still, social media helped ignite Egypt’s revolution.

Egyptian youth coordinated a massive revolution in a matter of days. The events of Egyptian revolution differ from the Civil Rights era in almost every way.

For the past two years, disenfranchised Egyptians gained support on social media networks publicizing governmental injustices.

Workers protests began in 2008 in al Mahala al Kubra, a textilemanufacturing town, “a Facebook page rallied more than 100,000

supporters,” said Stephen Franklin, reporter for The American Prospect.

Facebook provided a virtual community where users could discuss politics in the stifling environment of “emergency” laws. Like any organization with a cause, careful planning took place. Protest leaders, like Wael Ghonim, organized discussion forums and event groups where the revolutionary ideas quickly developed.

This Facebook phenomenon allowed individual to create digital representation of themself, to engage in discussion groups, to plan events, and to voice opinion. Facebook provided anonymity and an open platform from which social activism could be launched. The leaders remained anonymous to avoid arrest.

This virtual reality provided the chance for democracy—the freedom of speech and opinion that was before unknown.

Mubarak’s oppressive regime silenced the people, but social media allowed the young generation to be heard.

The information age and, subsequently, social media quickly revolutionized communication. The modes of discourse transformed from “a ‘one-to-many’ system,” as Fareed Zakaria explains, “to a ‘many-

U.S. domestic politics raise plenty of questions

SMU is accepting community COMMENTARY

Vladimir Jovanovic

To current students, incoming freshman and prospective students: I write this letter to you, and to all people reading this newspaper, to point out the diversity present at SMU. Recently, Charlie McCaslin made disparaging remarks that have been addressed by him, College Republicans and Spectrum. While that issue is at rest, I feel that many outsiders to SMU and current students do not realize the acceptance a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) or questioning student can find

on campus.

The video with the disparaging remarks and related Google searches might make one think that SMU is a close-minded, conservative Christian school. In fact, you can find articles that rank SMU as the 14th most homophobic in the nation according to Princeton Review. This view, that is seen online, does not represent the mindset of the entire school; while I don’t doubt that close-minded individuals can be found on campus, they do not represent the norm that I have encountered. Despite those groups at SMU who might promote suppressing expression of sexuality and gender equality, I hope that this letter and your own personal explorations will prove that going to this university can be a time of discovery and acceptance.

If you had issues in high school or are still struggling to figure out who you are, I can tell you right here and now that this is where it can get better for you. There is no need to hide or to worry about what people will think of you. Even as a non-Greek, cargo-shorts-wearing, irreligious student, I have found acceptance and friendship all over campus.

As Dallas has one of the largest gay communities in the nation, SMU recognizes the need for protection and equality for its LGBTQ students, faculty, and staff. SMU already offers domestic partner benefits for its employees and has sexual orientation listed in its nondiscrimination policy. SMU, as well as sponsoring the Women’s Center, also has a strong network of Allies (LGBTQ-friendly faculty and students) that help educate and promote a safe and comfortable environment for everyone on campus.

You can even work to further equality on campus and worldwide as a part of Amnesty International, the Embrey Human Rights campaign, Spectrum (the LGBTQ group here on campus), Women’s Interest Network and other great organizations that will accept you for who you are.

While you may currently hear homophobic remarks at home or from friends and acquaintances, I can confidentially say that Spectrum works to fight such expression of emotion on campus, and we hope these assertions will be a relic of the 20th century. For incoming freshman and those considering this university, please know that you can find your place and not feel oppressed.

I mentioned that it can get better when you come to SMU; I want to emphasize that it gets better when you're able to express yourself, when you're able to freely associate with others, and when you're able to stand up for what you feel and believe in. So let your voice be heard, because SMU does listen and is here for us, the students. For instance, there are efforts to create an LGBTQ senate seat – though currently delayed until Fall semester.

On top of this, Spectrum is observing the National Day of Silence this Friday. I hope to see many people participate and to be more conscious of the derogatory language that some people can so flippantly use.

Before Egyptian protests, Facebook started a revolution in Bogota, Colombia in 1999. Oscar Morales, referenced in the opening paragraph of, “The Facebook Effect,” by David Kirkpatrick, strongly disagrees with Malcom Gladwell. Morales used Facebook to destabilize the FARC, a narco-terrorist group in Colombia.

“Facebook was our headquarters,” he said in a New York Times interview with David Kirkpatrick.

The Colombian revolution and current examples in the Arab world disprove Gladwell’s outlook on social media. Facebook provides the most advanced freedom of expression— unrestricted mass communication via multiple mediums.

The millions of Facebook users part of a democratic discourse gained confidence to protest. Without question social media played an essential role in Egypt’s revolution.

COMMENTARY

Come out in support of LGBT students COMMENTARY

The time for change has come.

The recent repeat failure of the Student Senate to pass a bill that adds an LGBT Paul Kroeger special interest seat is a sad indication of the unpreparedness of the SMU student body to accept LGBT students. This lack of support is precisely why the LGBT students need to have a representative in the Student Senate.

One of the main concerns that senators held regarding the bill was the fact that LGBT students could not be precisely counted like racial minority students. The Student Constitution states that minority seats must represent less than 15 percent of the student body. Unlike the counting of racial minorities, it is difficult to tally sexual orientation. It is true that there is no way to count LGBT students before voting, but this special issue requires special legislation. Can anyone dispute that there are LGBT students at SMU? But the legislation included a clause that would allow students to register as LGBT through the registrar's office.

Only these self-identified LGBT students would be able to vote and run for the seat.

In the event that 15 percent or more of the student body identified as LGBT for two consecutive years, there would no longer be a need for a special interest senator, and the seat would be removed.

A minority seat is needed because LGBT discrimination is so prominent.

Stories of young adults harming themselves because of their sexuality are constantly in the news. "Coming out" is a difficult and sensitive process, which is why the Women's Center offers Allies training to help students and faculty relate to LGBT challenges.

Just this week, a student working in an SMU library attempted to recheck some books from Hamon Library for me. When the computer would not let him because we were in a different library, he casually remarked that, "We don't like those fruity Meadows books here." I grant that the student was trying to be friendly and making a casual joke. I took no personal offense, but constant exposure to such remarks makes life difficult for gay people, especially closeted LGBT students.

Given this kind of public reaction on SMU's campus, how can we expect LGBT students to be comfortable talking to just another representative on the Student Senate, as suggested by some opponents of the bill?

Special interest groups require special representatives, which is why we have African-American, Asian-American,

Hispanic-American and International representatives currently sitting on the Senate. It is notable that these senators, who certainly understand the challenges of overcoming diversity as minorities, all voted for the recent legislation to pass an LGBT seat if they were present for the vote.

Beyond the unfulfilled need for an LGBT special interest seat, this legislation would have been an important step for SMU's public image. SMU has been ranked 14th as one of the nation's most homophobic schools. This is not a distinction that helps us in any way. By embracing an LGBT senator, our school would have taken an important step in dispelling the myth that SMU is unwelcoming to gay students. After similar legislation to create an LGBT seat failed last year, gay-rights groups and the Dallas Morning News reported on SMU's apparent lack of understanding for gay students.

This absence of support for LGBT students has gone on for too long. It is time for the student body to collectively accept LGBT students, and show their support by simply giving LGBT students the representative that they need.

It is no mystery that here at SMU we have the reputation of being materialistic.

I know that one of the Frannie Lupo biggest cons on young seniors in high school minds is whether they want to be around the type of people at “Southern Millionaire University.” This is why I wondered why our school has this reputation. Just walking around campus you can see that people here are blessed with having very nice things. But people have nice things on many campuses.

There can only be one reason as to why SMU is so highly publicized for its high maintenance students. Our students love to draw attention to it. The website smuglossy.wordpress.com is an example of this attention.

It captures students in their everyday life on the Boulevard.

“I felt so stylish when I showed up on there!” my roommate Erica Penunuri beamed. Most of the clothes being worn are high-end brands. And the reality is that being so glamorous just walking to class is exactly the kind of thing our school is criticized for.

“Our school is like a red carpet, everyone is always trying to impress everyone else,” sophomore Maddy Rohde said.

I do think the idea of this site is great, but I think that the message it sends is only highlighting our school’s negative aspects. We need to kick off our Tory Burch shoes and loosen up a little.

THEATER

Cast talks ‘Red Light Winter,’ graphic content

By LAUREN SMART

Arts & Entertainment Editor lsmart@smu.edu

The line between pornography and art is a hotly debated subject, and one that is likely to be brought up in Dallas with the upcoming opening of two shows containing full nudity.

Dallas Theater Center is staging “Caberet,” which even has somewhat scandalous advertisements.

Second Thought Theatre is mounting an even more controversial, graphic show with “Red Light Winter.”

Directed by Regan Adair, this Obie-award-winning, Pulitzer-Prizenominated script by Adam Rapp, is the unflinching story of two friends, Matt (Drew Wall) and Davis (Alex Organ) ,who take a trip to Amsterdam where they enter into a love triangle with Christina (Natalie Young), a prostitute in the Red Light District.

The play has been praised for its exploration of the brutal complexities of human interaction and the ways

in which emptiness is filled. “Red Light Winter” also garnered a lot of attention for the ample amount of nudity and graphic sexual content that takes place on stage.

“There is a vulnerability required of the actors that far outweighs the graphic nature of the show,” Adair said.

“It requires a real sense of abandon or it doesn’t work, I’m fortunate to have a cast that really allows themselves to go there.”

The long sex scene between Wall and Young will be the first time either one of them has been naked on stage.

“When I read about the sexy time that happens with my character, I sort of freaked out,” Wall said. “I thought to myself, ‘well, I guess I’m doing this.’”

Young turned down a play a year ago that had a short topless scene in it. She said that she accepted this play because of the way that it handles the content.

“There are plays with excessive

anything. But it’s kind of freeing.”

It seems that “Red Light Winter” has burrowed itself under the skin of the cast and the director.

All three actors admit that the haunting element of the play is not the nudity or the sexual content, but the delicate vulnerability of the story they are telling.

“The emotional nakedness is there because of the truth that is written into the script,” Organ, whose character has the least amount of nudity, said.

“Ultimately, it’s rewarding.”

With significant others and family supporting their craft and making plans to see the show, the cast said there is a trace of awkwardness due to the content.

Young informed her father that he shouldn’t attend the show. All three said they were grateful to be dating fellow artists who understand the importance of what they are portraying.

“My girlfriend’s not super excited about the sex part,” Wall said. “But

she couldn’t be more supportive and she’s done nudity before, so she understands.”

“With a play as rough as this,” Young said. “You need to go home to someone who cares about you.”
