UK sends advisors to rebels British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Tuesday that the U.K. will send about 20 senior military officers to assist Libyan rebels.

However, he said the officers would not provide arms to the rebels, but rather would help them overcome the disorganization and lack of training that has hindered them so far. The rebels have struggled to make headway against Gaddafi except when assisted by NATO airstrikes.

Student Senate ended the year with the passing of three pieces of legislation with little debate or opposition.

Sprint has signed contracts with three different high-profile lobbying firms in an effort to stop AT&T’s $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile, a move that would make AT&T the nation’s largest wireless provider.

However, AT&T isn’t going down without a fight: it has hired two new lobbying firms.

The Daily Campus announces new Editor in Chief Current Associate News Editor Ashley Withers was unanimously selected by the Student Media Company Inc. Board of Directors to serve as the Fall 2011 Editor in Chief. Withers, graduating this December, is a journalism major from Katy, Texas.

The four candidates running for Dallas mayor discussed some of the city’s leading issues while seated on the stage of the Hughes-Trigg Theater Tuesday evening.

KTVT’s Doug Dunbar, the evening’s moderator, stood to the right of the stage where the four candidates sat in the order in which they will appear on the ballot: Mike Rawlings, David Kunkle, Ron Natinsky and Edward Okpa.

While rain flooded over campus just before the Campus Debate began, attendees managed to nearly halfway fill the theater’s seating. Candidates were not offered to deliver an opening statement, as Dunbar said, “We want to get right to the heart of the matter.”

Questions were primarily asked by a panel of journalists that included

Education was a topic that came up in responses to various questions, including when Huseman asked the candidates what the most pressing need is in South Dallas to solve the problem of citizens traveling to North Dallas to spend their money.

Rawlings’ response was that “it’s all about education,” and that more people will live in South Dallas when there are better schools. This, according to Rawlings, would then lead to better housing and a stronger economy.

Natinksy would like to bring more shopping directly to South Dallas and stop the fact that citizens are “leaving their tax dollars in the suburbs.” Okpa insisted that issues such as appearance in the area should be addressed, while Kunkle hopes to bridge the economic divide from the south sector.

Braddock asked the candidates how to address the Dallas Independent

School District’s $100 million deficit and how a mayor should get more city input.

Kunkle wants to “continue to facilitate and help grow neighborhood after-school programs,” stating that they are still lacking commitment from the business community.

Natinksy, however, mentioned that the current programs in use and its plans are on the right track.

In order to continue these kinds of initiatives, “we’ve got to get the entire community engaged.”

If he becomes mayor, Okpa plans to speak to parents of children.

“If I show you the school I went to in Nigeria, I think DISD’s a heaven,” he said.

However, he does believe parents are the children’s greatest influences

Students present presentation on U.S.-Mexican border

By PATRICIA BOH Contributing Writer pboh@smu.edu

The U.S.-Mexican border has been a much-debated ethical and political topic in recent years. Human rights concerns on the border alarm humanitarian organizations and socially conscious citizens.

Because of these human rights problems, SMU’s Student Leadership Initiative (SLI) launched their inaugural program, The Border Project.

SLI works as a way for student leaders to research and investigate human rights concerns in regions of global interests. SLI is affiliated with

the Embrey Human Rights Program at SMU. Students Jordan Johansen and Adriana Martinez, who is a member of the Daily Campus staff, co-founded SLI in the summer of 2010.

In January 2011, eight students visited the US-Mexico border in Tucson and Nogales, Ariz. The purpose of the trip was to research human rights concerns pertaining to migrants. Each student investigated a related topic of his or her choosing, conducting interviews and research in the field.

The eight scholars are Jordan

Steve Pickett (KTVT), Scott Braddock (KTVT), Gromer Jeffers (The Dallas Morning News) and Jessica Huseman (The Daily Campus).

Picket started the debate by stating that all candidates have said they would not raise taxes to solve the problems in the city’s budget. They were then asked how else they would solve these problems.

Rawlings said he would not cut anything dealing with crime prevention or development, but that “everything else is on the table.” Kunkle insisted that the city council start addressing the year’s budget earlier than they currently do. Natinsky believes we can balance the budget without cutting anything and that the next year’s budget is “not as near as difficult as the last couple we’ve been through.” Okpa said we should “take a critical view of the structural challenges that are in the our budget.”

Jane Condon may be seen as sporadic, talented and passionate, but what makes this mother of six tick is much more than work.

Working as an editor for Dallas Modern Luxury magazine, Condon frequents social scenes, chairs many prestigious charity events and operates her own public relations firm from her household. The most important of all these jobs: her family.

Condon graduated from SMU with a Bachelor’s of business administration with a concentration in real estate and organizational behavior. While in college, Condon learned the sting of rejection.

“Rejection is a part of a career such as mine. You can’t let it get you down.

It’s just how it goes,” she said. In Dallas,

she found both professional success and personal fulfillment.

Condon took her mother’s love of charity and her father’s love of the city and applied it to her future. Needing to support her children at the time, the recently divorced mother began her full-time career in her late 30s. Before finding her niche in public relations, Condon worked as a real estate agent leasing condos. The start of her business began when a friend needed help with advertising business public relations.

“You can get into PR from any business,” she said. Condon believes networking and referrals are keys to her success.

Working from her home, Condon makes sure not to take on more than she can handle. Attending all of the social events for her job in Dallas Morning Luxury prevents her life from being boring.

De Santiago and Esau wanted to improve communication between Student Senate and the student body.

The MustangShare program will adopt inside.smu.edu as its platform. Esau described the new SMU site as a cross between Blackboard and Wikipedia.

The bill authors hope the program will act similarly to Senate’s Affiliate Program, which connects senators to organizations. They say the MustangShare program will help senators provide information to their constituents, as well as encourage feedback from the student body.

They also hope it will hold senators accountable to their constituents.

NUTRITION

Supplements becomes growing trend

By KATIE TUFTS

Health and Fitness Editor ktufts@smu.edu

Supplements can come in many shapes and forms and serve a multitude of purposes. Many students now take them as a daily regimen.

Performance supplements seem to be a growing trend among young people, and athletes and students around the country are taking several different kinds.

A dietary supplement is a “product that is intended to supplement the diet that contains one or more dietary ingredients (including vitamins; minerals; herbs or other botanicals; amino acids; and other substances) or their constituents,” according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

“It is intended to be taken by mouth as a pill, capsule, tablet or liquid, and is labeled on the front panel as being a dietary supplement.”

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recently changed its guidelines on nutrient supplementation.

The Association now stresses that eating a wide variety of nutrient-rich foods is the best way to get needed nutrients and reduce the risk of chronic disease, rather than taking many different supplements.

Summer Lammons, a Dallas nutritionist, recommends taking specific types of supplements, with a consultation.

Performance supplements are a growing trend among young people, athletes and students.

“I would definitely recommend a high quality multivitamin and mineral supplement, to help with energy, focus and protection from getting sick, and Omega 3 Fish oil, for concentration, and memory,” she said. “There are many other supplements that I may recommend, but they would be based individually on each person’s needs.”

The ADA changes and updates when the supplement industry is growing and is becoming a more popular trend. According to the Association’s report, Americans have spent more than $23 billion on dietary supplements in recent years, and about

Campus Events

one-third of adults use a multivitamin and mineral supplement regularly.

Many take other supplements, which is causing health experts to consider the potentially negative effects of taking too many supplements.

Sports supplements have become popular among young people and students, especially guys who are trying to gain muscle mass.

This includes drinking protein or creatine drinks to reduce recovery time, which allows for more longer workouts.

Sports nutrition supplements are the second most popular supplements

consumed after multivitamins, according to ivillage.com.

For athletes, supplements can be helpful for quick fueling for sporting events, but more and more people are taking these supplements to enhance their daily workouts.

Many sports supplements are advertised in sports like football or the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which serves as a contributing factor to the growing trend of men trying to look buff and gain muscle.

“Published reports suggest that approximately 25 percent of professional baseball players and up to 50 percent of professional football players consume creatine supplements,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

“According to a survey of high school athletes, creatine use is common among football players, wrestlers, hockey players, gymnasts and lacrosse players,” the Mayo Clinic said. In 1998, the creatine market in the United States was estimated at $200 million.

In 2000, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) banned colleges from distributing creatine to their players.”

However, creatine remains one of the most popular sports supplements for young males.

“Creatine is naturally synthesized in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver and transported in the blood

for use by muscles. Approximately 95 percent of the body’s total creatine content is located in skeletal muscle,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

Though it is made naturally in the body, those taking creatine need to be careful about how much they are consuming and keep consumption at safe levels.

“Use of creatine is particularly popular among adolescent athletes who are reported to take doses that are not consistent with scientific evidence and to frequently exceed recommended loading and maintenance doses.”

So students should consult a dietician before starting any sort of regimen to make sure they are taking a healthy dosage. This can be hard when many magazines endorse taking extra protein or muscle building options.

“Everyone—not just muscle heads—can benefit from the quick hit of amino acids provided by a protein supplement, bar or shake. Your best bet is a fast-absorbing, high-quality kind like whey protein powder derived from milk,” according to menshealth.com However, there are risks to taking some supplements and many believe that sports nutrition products aren’t truly necessary and that the same

training results, like muscle recovery, can be achieved by eating a variety of foods.

“There can be both benefits and risks to taking supplements. If you buy a good quality multivitamin and fish oil supplement from your local health food store, you will have tremendous health benefits,” Lamons said.

“You have to make sure the supplement brands are reputable as some will put binders and fillers in their products that can have harmful effects on the body.”

Lamons also warns against popular energy drinks that students often drink daily.

“If students are taking too many energy drinks, there can be risks with elevated blood pressure, nervous system dysfunction and adrenal fatigue. There are safer products out on the market that can give similar effects to Red Bull and Monster.”

By eating a wide variety of food and maintaining a healthy diet, much of the same results can be achieved without the risks that are involved with supplements, especially performance supplements.

The final All-Conference team member was Svendsen. The SMU junior was given All-American status after placing ninth in the 100-yard backstroke at the NCAA Championships where she set a record with a time of 52.35 seconds.

At the C-USA Championships, she won six gold medals in the 100yard and 200-yard backstroke, 200yard medley relay, 800-yard freestyle relay, 200-yard individual medley and 400-yard medley relay.

She also improved her past personal best times in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke with times of 52.62 and 1:53.82.

Iron Skillet game moved The annual SMU vs. TCU game was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday Oct. 1, but the game has now been moved to Friday Sept. 30.

The game is slated to start at 7 p.m. at the newly renovated Amon G. Carter Stadium and will be shown live on CBS Sports. This is the first time TCU has hosted a Friday game since 2001.

Last season’s match, which was also played on a Friday night, saw TCU defeat SMU, 41-24.

Mustangs hire Gansz SMU officially named Frank Gansz Jr. as their new special teams coach this weekend. Prior to arriving on the Hilltop, Gansz served as UCLA’s special teams coach for three seasons. Gansz also served as the special teams coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2001 to 2005 and for the Baltimore Ravens in 2006 and 2007. Ganz’s father, Frank Gansz Sr., served as SMU’s special teams coach in 2008.

Two athletes honored SMU football player Kelvin Beachum and women’s diver Audra Egenolf were honored for their achievements on and off the field. Beachum was given the “M” Award, the University’s most prestigious honor. The “M” award is given to individuals who go “above and beyond the call of duty,” while Engolf earned the Presidential Award of Excellence for her 3.982 GPA as an accounting major. Engolf is a three-time All-Academic team selection.

EDITORIAL

Google breaks down intellectual prowess

Has chivalry wheezed its dying breath?

Reinvigorating relationships require effort from both men and women ASSOCIATE EDITOR

I want to thank Frannie Lupo for bringing up the very poignant notion that monogamous relationships Michael Dearman are becoming exceedingly rare in the college setting.

Though I do not entirely agree with the causes to the phenomenon Lupo observes, she raises an issue that our generation must address. I will mention some of my concerns with Lupo’s opinion and then hopefully raise some solutions to the problems that we face as part of the “hook-up generation.”

First, it is important to note that it is not peer pressure amongst males that leads to the degradation of dating or relationships, but the way in which we raise men today. In fact, it is inaccurate to say that we raise men; instead we raise boys in men’s bodies.

As children, what is good is what feels good and brings good consequences. What is bad is what feels bad and brings bad consequences.

We learn early on that sticking a metal object in the electrical outlet is bad

because it shocks us. It isn’t that there is something intrinsically reprehensible about shocking oneself; it just isn’t healthy. And that’s the extent to which men feel about relationships or hook ups, just in the opposite direction. It feels good, it fulfills some base human need, and therefore, it is good.

So I would agree with Lupo: this generation of males has lost a sense of chivalry (for the most part) but it is not peer pressure. It is the way in which men were raised that impacts their chivalrous (or not so chivalrous) habits with women. In addition the culture in which we live glorifies the perpetual degradation of women to level of objects through music, movies and the combination of other pop-cultural tools. Not only is it an acceptable practice to use women to fulfill some need, but it is glorified.

I, like Lupo have heard the complaints about male students from female peers numerous times. What they often fail to acknowledge is that in holding men to a higher standard than they are currently, they will risk getting hurt much less.

While Lupo advocates for healthy, monogamous relationships, she herself allows that she “would be fine with a guy wanting to date other people.” This is exactly the kind of

standard that needs to be done away with. There is a double standard of want versus practice, where there are certain desires for qualities in a male partner that are not actually pursued to their ends.

Either people are incapable of recognizing their own mixed-up standards for men, or they do want polygamous relationships. Those relationships are acceptable in the college setting if they are so chosen, but with all of the complaints I hear about that, I am reluctant to believe that they are chosen often.

If a guy wants to engage in this sort of “hook-up” culture, then women need to recognize that. If they are at all apprehensive about that prospect, then that should stand as a clear “red flag” of which the girl must take note.

Mommy and Daddy are no longer around to judge whether or not a boy is worthy of their daughter’s attention so it is up to the girl to dictate her own standards for men. Sadly, those standards are generally lacking.

Women can demand what they want from men but they hardly demand anything at all. Instead they have allowed their values to descend to the levels that they are currently at, without any sign of raising them anytime soon. And it has been allowed

to become like this, where men won’t open doors for women, where they won’t pay for dinner, where they won’t do X, because X takes too much effort and is not required by women.

Instead of encouraging men to treat women like sex objects, women should openly acknowledge that how they portray themselves, how they act, what they wear and where they are has an impact on the male perception of them. There are no grounds for complaining about male treatment of females if women will not acknowledge that they are part of the problem and are certainly capable of a solution.

Our men are lazy and the standards of women seem to be heading for the bottom. We do not engender men with values of chivalry, and we do not raise women with enough self-respect.

If we did, however, there would be less ill-treatment of the opposite sex.

I hope that we can all acknowledge the problems our generation faces and work tirelessly to right the wrongs.

COMMENTARY

In this day and age, people are constantly bombarded with new technology.

Consequently, finding someone who does not utilize the Internet in his or her everyday routine is extremely rare. Technological advances have helped our nation become the world leader it is today and often children grow up not knowing or expecting anything less. The thought of going a day without the Jessica Meier Internet makes my stomach churn.

After going off to college, I have incorporated the Internet more and more into both my academic and social life. Despite so many benefits, critics of technology as well as my generation, insist that the Internet will lead to an overall downfall.

Is the Internet helping us as a society or is it causing us to lose critical intellectual and interpersonal skills?

Members of my generation, Generation Y, are not the only ones that face enormous criticism regarding the way in which we put the internet to use. Critics such as former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review and author of “Is Google Making Us Stupid,” Nicholas Carr, believe that the Internet negatively affects the reading levels of people of all ages, especially their ability to concentrate on long texts.

Today, people put their intellectual skills to rest by automatically going to the resource where results are instantly acquired: Google.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the men who created this exceptional search engine are determined to turn Google into an artificial intelligence. Page explains, “The ultimate search engine is something as smart as people—or smarter… certainly if you had all the world’s information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off.” I agree that search engines are beginning to supplement the human brain and causing people to diminish certain intellectual aptitudes.

I feel that when we read on the Internet we aren’t fully comprehending and understanding. We are merely skimming the surface of what we read. Intelligence and contemplation are taking a back seat to the Internet. I worry that the human brain may become an outdated computer that will eventually need a faster processor and a bigger hard drive.

Google is not a place to find insight. It merely provides raw facts and information quickly. Although we have improved the ability to scan information promptly, we have lost some of the essential skills related to learning and applying what we learn.

With all the benefits the Internet brings to society it seems almost impossible that the Internet could be causing our critical intellectual skills to decline. However, given my personal experience, as well as research from Internet critics, I believe the Internet is causing a decline in our intellectual capacity. Members of Generation Y, such as myself, need to be aware of the effect the Internet has on critical thinking abilities.

The Internet is a very powerful tool that expands our ability to understand any particular topic. At the same time the Internet can erode our intellectual skills if we allow it to take over our lives and supplement our knowledge. We must protect academic skills and not rely on to the Internet for all of our solutions.

COMMENTARY

It always amazes me how many people are self-conscious to the point that they feel they cannot “work the Michael Graves room,” if you will.

Too many people think that confidence is a natural thing. I say it can be learned.

I won’t lie; I have issues with confidence myself. We all do.

Sometimes you wake up in the morning and you just feel like a monster when you look in the mirror.

Coco Chanel herself could have dressed you and you would still feel like a frumpy mess, unable to charm those around you. You want to hang your head low.

Never do such a thing! Always

hold your head high and follow my three steps to confidence!

First, always remember to look up. Unless you are traversing through the mountains there is no reason you should not look up when you’re walking. You should always hold your head high (but not too high, I don’t want to be pretentious) while talking to people.

Someone who keeps their head down in a room commands no attention. Those who keep their heads up do. Even if you are not comfortable, keeping your head held high will make people think you know exactly what you’re doing. That’s what matters.

Secondly, always make eye contact.

This is a skill many people lack in today’s world. Eye contact will surprise many people. When talking, some text on their phones, look around the room, anything to keep from looking someone in the eye. To me, the most impressive thing a person can do when

talking to me is maintain eye contact.

Interviewers look for it, friends expect it, and strangers feel more comfortable when you look them in the eye when speaking. It makes people think you’re honest as well.

Finally, show those pearly whites.

Smiling is the best thing you can ever do for yourself. Smiling relaxes people and puts them at ease. When you smile people open up to you. Could you imagine sharing information with someone who frowns at you? Also, those who smile are those who “light up the room.” If you become that person who is known for darkening a social setting, well, you won’t get another invite to a party, won’t get the job, won’t get a date.

Most importantly, those who smile are seen as highly attractive, even if they’re not the best looking people.

I absolutely hate when I walk into a room and someone feels like they have to frown to get attention. Smiling is a

trait I look for in friends, lovers and colleagues. It’s just a good thing to remember to do.

So, that’s it. Hold your head high, make eye contact and smile.

Confidence in three easy steps. I can assure you that if you force yourself to do these things (but keep it natural), you will have people eating from your hands. You will make friends. You will make business contacts. You might even get a date.

People all over agree that confidence is the most important thing that a person can embody. So, be confident in yourself. And if you’re ever feeling self conscious, fake it. You may just fool yourself.

If you think dance is boring, Contemporary Ballet of Dallas founded

by SMU alumni, strives to prove otherwise.

“This is no ‘Swan Lake,’” Artistic Director Valerie Tabor said of the upcoming “Sidewalk Stories.”

Tabor and co-founder Kelly Calhoun were SMU graduates looking to form a group that allowed them to continue dancing, which later developed into a school alongside the company.

“Dancing came first. We wanted a place in Dallas where people would be able to be employed,” Tabor said. “What we’ve found is that SMU alumni will join us and it will open other doors for them.”

Now at the end of its 10th season, CBD is capping off the season with “Sidewalk Stories” on May 7 at the recently renovated Texas Theatre in the Bishop Arts District.

The works featured in the performance are all original, choreographed by company members and guest choreographers. The series of vignettes all focus on different aspects of urban life.

“We are hoping to appeal to people who don’t traditionally go see dance,” Tabor said. “It’s easy to be bored to tears by a full-length production. So we offer unique works that still preserve classical traditions.”

Two other companies will be performing alongside CBD. A tap dance troupe called Rythmic Souls will be performing its piece, “Tap This,” which received rave reviews at WaterTower Theatre’s Out of the Loop

saved 833,000 gallons of water, RECYCLE: SMU 2,023 trees during national competition CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

18.15 pounds.

The university also placed first in the per capita division of Texas Private Schools and second in Texas Private Schools in the targeted material division, according to Eric English, SMU’s environmental manager.

I believe all students, faculty and staff should be very proud of how we finished in the Recyclemania competition this year considering this is our second year of competing,” English said. “However, we should not be satisfied, and we should strive to be a University that is seen as leaders in sustainability.

Our future and our students’ future depend on it.”

Nationally, SMU placed 54 of 363 schools in the

per capita division and 159 of 230 schools in the targeted material division.

The per capita division includes cans, paper and plastic while the targeted material division consists of only corrugated cardboard.

During the 10-week period, SMU saved 487,900 KWh of energy; 833,000 gallons of water; and 2,023 trees, according to English.

Students, faculty and staff were asked to recycle as much as possible from Jan. 23 until April 2 in the blue bins placed in classrooms and residence halls.

This was the first year residence halls competed to see which hall could recycle the most.

“Our students really stepped up this year and got involved, such as with the residence hall recycle

competition and the fashion show,” English said.

“I hope that we can really get our Greek houses involved next year. I believe that will be the key to getting us over the top to be the best university in Texas when it comes to recycling.”

The residence hall winner of the 2011 competition went to Perkins Hall; the academic/ athletic facility winner went to Bridwell Library; and, the area/school winner went to Central Library.

Plaques will be presented to Bridwell Library and Central Libraries at the President’s Picnic in May. This was the second year SMU participated in the nationwide, intercollegiate competition.

Trigg and into a different space, such as the Meadows Museum.

The bill also asks the Hughes-Trigg Student Center to work with student artists to provide them with additional opportunities to display their work.

The bill’s authors believe the gallery takes up space in the student center that could be used for something more student-oriented. They also note that the gallery gets very little foot traffic and hardly ever features student artists.

“I really feel like this is a discussion that the student body should take up,” Esau, one of the co-authors, said.

Mustang EMS The last bill encouraged SMU to enact a student EMT service similar to ones at Rice University, Texas A&M and the University of Texas.

Bill authors note that the average response time to an emergency on campus is around five to eight minutes, which can severely impact a person with a life-threatening emergency. They hope implementing a student-led EMT service will lead to a safer campus because students already on campus would be able to provide help sooner than neighboring cities’ emergency providers.

The program would require volunteer EMTs to take basic paramedic training before they would be allowed to render aid. Bill authors note that this means any liability would be covered under SMU, state and national laws.

The Mustang EMS program would work closely with the SMU Police Department, although the bill’s authors hope that eventually the program will become its own department within the university.

Bill authors say they already have 10 students who have committed to taking EMS training over the summer. With

three students already EMS-trained, they hope to start the program next fall, providing emergency services during peak hours and while the Memorial Health Center is closed, although some details still need to be worked out.

One of the bill’s authors, Sen. Parminder Deo (First-Year), says they wrote the bill to get Senate’s support for the program, not to get charter status or a budget.

“We just need Senate’s approval because Senate represents the student body,” he said.

DEBATE: Mayoral candidates discuss Dallas issues CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

and a key to fixing some issues in the district.

Rawlings believes it’s the mayor’s job to help the school district.

“We are an urban state now, and we must act that way with education,” he said, stating that the district should make an effort to become more transparent.

The debate, hosted by The Daily Campus and KTVT, lasted one hour, with questions ranging from DISD to the Trinity River Project. Questions were also submitted by the public through social media, and email.

Dunbar presented a question

submitted by SMU junior Harvey Luna on how each candidate would attempt to make Dallas “a more gay-friendly city.”

All candidates emphasized that respect should be shown to all groups of people.

Kunkle believes that the City of Dallas has been “very accommodating and a good place” for the LGBT community. Okpa said resistance toward all groups needs to cease; he mentioned how he himself still experiences a similar resistance because of the color of his skin.

Natinsky believes that efforts should be pursued in reaching out to involve

those of the gay committee in making the city’s decisions—already, there are three open gays in Dallas City Council.

Rawlings believes that “for too long, we’ve been divisive,” and that he plans to “make sure that everybody has a place on the table.”

The debate ended with closing statements from the candidates, each spending two minutes on why they should be elected to the audience members before them.

Freshman Tracy Olson, business management and political science double major, is not eligible to vote in Dallas but was interested in the debate.

“I wanted to learn more of the issues,” she said, “but I was one of the few [of her friends] to come.”

Debate attendee and sophomore Shannon Davey, an art major and member of College Republicans, is able to vote in Dallas.

“I thought it was interesting learning their opinions,” she said.

“It was interesting that they all took different stances.”

When asked whom she would vote for in the upcoming election, she replied, “the republican.”

United States Border Patrol officer Juan Guajardo gives a tour of the Tucson Sector Border Patrol office to SMU students who took part in the United StatesMexico Research Project Mexico symposium this past January.

MEXICO: Students hold symposium, discuss travels CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Chlapecka, Michael Dearman, Caroline Dillard, Jordan Johansen, Bernardo Lopez, Adriana Martinez, Daniel Sanabria and Rachel Stonesipher.

The symposium included a welcoming address by Patricia Davis, PhD. and opening remarks from Rick Halperin, PhD., followed by a greeting from the Assistant Chief of Police Jim Walters about AMBER Alert’s work on the border.

In his opening remarks, Halperin commented on how the SLI selected the US-Mexico border as the initiative’s first program. “Human rights begin at home,” Halperin said.

Martinez introduced the SLI, as well as the eight student presentations.

Presenting on “organizational health care reform agendas,” sophomore Stonesipher addressed the implementation water stations, the alarming health concerns in the desert areas and humanitarian group advocacy.

“Much public controversy is focused on water stations, whether or not [the state government] should allow it,” Stonesipher said.

First year Dearman’s presentation revolved around “faith-based organizations that offer humanitarian aid to undocumented migrants,” citing humanitarian groups such as No More Deaths, Los Samaritans, and various other church-affiliated organizations.

“Christianity is alive and well on the US-Mexico Border,” Dearman remarked at the end of his presentation.

Taking a different approach to migrant human rights concerns, senior Chlapecka presented on the “formation of identity on the border” regarding the “influence on imagery on a group of people.”

Chlapecka discussed the imagery inside of the border patrol stations, explaining that such images depicted “the border patrol as heroes but makes migrants look less human.”

The symposium took place on April 18th at 5:30 p.m. in McCord Auditorium, gathering human rights minors, socially conscious students and various members of the greater SMU and Dallas communities.

The Border Project worked in conjunction with AMBER Alert.

Phil Keith, Director of Training and Technical Assistance, Jim Walters and Mark Simpson assisted SLI in the interview and research process.

The Border Project was a collaborative effort of many professionals along with SLI. Anthology faculty member Robert Van Kemper, PhD., Ben Johnson, PhD. of the Clements Center for Southwestern Studies, Kim Cobb of Public Affairs, Walters and Halperin taught the seminar. Reverend Robin Hoover, PhD., was SLI’s guide and mentor in the Tucson area.
