Meadows gets interim dean Chris Warley Contributing Writer cwarley@smu.edu Big changes are happening at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts.

Dr. Sam Holland, director of the division of music at Meadows, will take over as interim dean July 1. The current dean, José Antonio Bowen, will leave to be president Goucher College.

Holland has been at SMU since 1991, and has shaped the music department through the programs he’s directed. The school originally hired him to teach and lead the program in piano pedagogy.

“Piano pedagogy is a field where we educate future piano teachers,” he said. “SMU has the leading master’s degree in the country in that discipline.”

But, Holland’s original career interest did not start in the instruction of music.

“If the phone had rung and it was Bruce Springsteen on the other end, I would’ve been there without looking back,” he said.

Despite not getting that call, Holland stuck with SMU until 2010 when he was promoted to dean of the division of music, the largest program in Meadows.

Many factors may have led to why the Provost’s office recently chose him to be interim dean, but Holland believes that the music division’s size could have played

a factor.

“Maybe by virtue of having led the largest part of the Meadows School, it seemed like a logical choice to make me the interim dean,” he said.

Dean Bowen, who will officially step down June 30,

believes Holland has the qualities necessary to take over the position.

“He is trusted by everyone and is the perfect person for the job,” he said.

Bowen did warn “it’s always a balancing act as interim.”

Still, Kristen Landrum, one of

Holland’s piano students, said that his fairness will be great asset as he takes over the position.

“I think he’s one of the most fair people I know, which will be a great benefit to Meadows as he handles the different departments,” she said.

Holland looks forward to being able to serve the students and faculty in a larger capacity than he already does, but sees challenges along the road. He wants to make sure he “does no harm” to the improvements that Bowen has made to the school during his tenure as dean. Additionally, Holland thinks that some of the problems currently facing higher education could affect the school significantly.

“There are going to be fewer college age students, which creates a smaller pool of talent, and every other school wants them,” he said.

“The challenge is differentiating ourselves in a very crowded and noisy marketplace.”

SMU will soon launch a national search to find a permanent dean for Meadows.

The committee to head the search hasn’t been announced, but Holland thinks that the search will gain significant attention in the arts community.

“The reputation of SMU and Meadows have reached a point where the pool of candidates is going to be stunning,” Holland said.

Staff Reports SMU junior Rahfin Faruk was announced as a 2014 Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation scholar Wednesday. He was selected as one of 59 students nationwide to receive a $33,000 scholarship toward graduate education for government or public sector studies, and is the 14th scholar named from SMU since the program’s creation by Congress in 1975.

“I think this award — really, a collective award — represents the continued rise of SMU as a world-class university,” Faruk said. “We had three Truman finalists this year, and it is the work of our Board, our faculty and our staff that have made this possible.”

Juniors Prithvi Rudrappa and Fantine Giap were both finalists for the Truman scholarship — narrowed down from an applicant pool of 655 students nominated by 293 colleges and universities in the U.S. Faruk is a President’s Scholar majoring in economics, political science, public policy and religious

studies, and minoring in mathematics. He plans to use the Truman scholarship to get his MBA in public policy to pursue work in the social enterprise sector.

In his application, he “called for improved financial inclusion” to combat disproportionate costs for financial services that equate to “the poorer you are, the more you pay.”

“As someone who wants to break down sectoral boundaries, I was attracted to the societal impact I could have as a Truman Scholar,” Faruk said. “Truman Scholars are everywhere — in a wide array of sectors and functions — and they are working to serve humanity in better ways.”

SMU Debate Team Director Ben Voth prepares with students.

“They had to pull from things discovered in class. The class is made up of students with different backgrounds, business, engineering, so I also asked them to pull from their own perspectives as well,” Bing said. “The most important thing was that they had each other. They could not solve a problem by themselves.”

Senior Prithvi Rudrappa, a member of the winning team, used his business acumen to prepare for the debate, studying economic indicators and bank statistics.

“Dr. Bing doesn’t conform to the usual classroom setting of exams and papers. He develops your public speaking skills and thinking. You learn to defend your position and communicate effectively with other people,” Rudrappa said.

Junior Janice Kim said the experience allowed her classroom learning to be reflected in a practical forum.

“The experience was both intimidating and interesting. This was the first time I had done a debate for a class that was realistic to what we would face in the global health field,” she said.

Harker, a sophomore, saw the debate as an opportunity to see how the real world works, especially when interacting with the various expert judges and debate coaches.

Students debate Rwandan health When Chase Harker sent out his first tweet ever, he had a very specific purpose in mind: Rwanda’s mental health care. After publishing his 74-character question in the Twittersphere, he received an unexpected invitation.

“Come and see in #Rwanda.

This because I will need thousand of tweets if I want to explain it to you,” typed Agnes Binagwaho, Rwandan minister of health.

Harker was preparing for the first student debate held in partnership with the George W. Bush Institute, which houses a Global Health initiative led by Dr. Eric Bing, senior fellow and director for global health and SMU professor.

Thursday, students from Dr. Bing’s “Global and Public Health” class stepped up in front of four expert judges in an Institute board room to debate the merits and downfalls of two health care issues related to Rwanda: cardiovascular disease and mental illness.

“Teams acted as consultants going to pitch health care reforms, proposing programs to effect health and the nation’s prosperity,” said Suraj Patel, a global health research assistant at the Bush Institute.

Rwanda, a country that was shattered by genocide in 1994, has made great strides on the health care front, specifically in maternal and child health. Bing created this hypothetical situation as a representation of the real-life crossroad Rwanda faces.

“The debate raised the level of engagement. The students could see that people in the presidential center are grappling with the same issues that we’ve covered in class and they as students may have ideas that can make a difference,” Bing said.

Students had a month to prepare and were split into four teams, debating in a tournament style.

Academics

these kind of movers and shakers,” Harker said.

Patel, Bing, current SMU graduate student Jordan Wondrack, and Dr. Akshai Lakhanpal were on hand throughout the preparation to advise students on Rwandan infrastructure, mental health, debate strategy and cardiovascular disease.

Two Bush Institute directors, Col. Miguel Howe, director of the Military Service Initiative, and Michael McMahan, director of Institute Operations, served as judges alongside executive director of the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, Jeremy Smith, and chair in education policy and leadership at the Simmons School, Dr. Michael McLendon.

“The judges were asked to be themselves and use their own experiences,” Patel said.

“Each judge approached the debate differently, focusing on education, impact, sustainability and national security,” Patel said.

Ultimately, the debate, which ended in a sudden death round, represents the growing partnership between the Bush Institute and the SMU community.

“These are some of the highest caliber experts in their fields and some of the brightest people we can come in contact with at SMU,” Rudrappa said.

Bing plans to continue holding debates at the Bush Center for future Global Health courses.

In high school, Doug Rothfeldt convinced his Miami high school to let him invest and manage $65,000 of its endowment. It should come as no surprise that Rothfeldt, now a senior, brought this financial tradition to SMU. Last Monday, Rothfeldt, along with three fellow seniors and the student-run Boulevard Investment Group they created two years ago, donated $3,000 of realized returns to the BBA Scholars program.

“We had known about the group for some time, so we were not surprised that they donated the money. What surprised us was the amount they were able to donate, and how quickly they were able to make a donation,” said associate dean of BBA admissions, Jim Bryan. “They are clearly very talented.”

For Rothfeldt, the group was a chance to take the classroom to the business world, who simply texted a few of his friends with the idea during his sophomore year.

This is the students’ first donation.

“We thought that it would be fun to design a program where we could implement what we were learning in our practicum and finance classes, teach younger students and try to make investment returns to then give back to other business school students,” Rothfeldt said.

“We wanted to do something with our time that wasn’t just studying but using what we were learning in the real world,” CoFounder Giuliano Blei said.

The group, registered as a 501(C)(3) non-profit and not affiliated with the university, was formed as an outlet for financesavvy students. Traditionally,

business students are more restricted when they participate in the practicum class, which manages the Ann Rife Cox Endowment Fund.

“The students have complete control of the investments,” senior Matt Reyes said. “You have the freedom to experiment.”

The fund started with $50,000, accumulated through private donations, and the group hopes to continue growing the fund so that its donations can become more substantial.

“We realized $3,000 is just a drop in the pool of how much money the BBA scholarship fund is, but the point is we’re actively seeking out tax-deductible donations so that one day it could be a $200,000 or $300,000 fund.

Then our donations each year can be that more meaningful,” Rothfeldt said.

The group is made up of 15 junior analysts, usually first-year and sophomore business students and scholars, five portfolio managers, and five senior advisors.

Mentorship and networking are central to the program’s success, Rothfeldt said. The group has a five-cycle curriculum, where portfolio managers instruct the junior analysts on everything from reading financial statements and filings to presentation skills.

“We use a curriculum for each monthly research cycle, where one method of valuing a company is introduced and taught by the portfolio manager each month,” said incoming BIG president Paul Nork. “By the end of the year, each younger member should have a full set of skills that would help measurably when looking for internships in the financial sector.”

Blei said working on students’

presentation skills now prepares them for their future classes and careers.

“It’s a setting where we can make them feel uncomfortable in presentations by grilling them, but then have a laugh afterwards, something you don’t get in class,” he said.

With investments in five sectors, technology, energy, industrial, consumer and healthcare, students involved get to experience investments across the market. Each sector starts the year with $10,000 as the year continues, more successful sectors receive larger portions of the fund to invest.

“This is real money, so there is no room for incomplete analysis or mistakes… It is absolutely critical that we have complete conviction on every investment we buy,” Nork said. “Since the BIG is an effective vehicle for philanthropy, I try to make sure that our research is thorough enough that we will make profits to keep giving back at the school.”

The group has invested in companies like Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Microsoft, startup technology companies, and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, which have all achieved positive and significant returns so far in 2014.

Moving forward, the group hopes to continue their investments and will accept another 10 to 15 junior analysts to their team in the fall.

“I challenge all students to look at the Boulevard Investment Group to see how they can follow in their footsteps,” Bryan said.

“Ask yourself what you bring to the table both in and out of the classroom. How can you use your talents to make your community a better place?”

Popoular protein bars like CLIF Builder’s may be providing people with too much sugar and processed goods.

Popular snack may make it harder to get that summer body In the past decade, protein bars

catherine stacke Contributing Writer cstacke@smu.edu have hit grocery store shelves like a tidal wave. A recent trip to a Dallas Whole Foods offers over 50 different types of the bars in a single aisle. Many of them feature mouth-watering images of cookie dough, Oreo’s or peanut butter on their wrappers.

These bars, which are marketed as healthy, give people an excuse to eat what they crave, and lose weight. Right? Wrong.

“Most experts agree that although protein bars provide the literal components, it doesn’t come close to nourishing the body the way real food does,” said Cooper Aerobics Center Dietician Meridan Zerner.

Protein bars are what nutritionists consider “engineered food,” because the nutrients found in them are scientifically made to nourish the consumer in a certain way. Engineered food is made in mass quantities in factories, as opposed to grown naturally.

components in food that the body needs, and protein bars only provide a measly 22 at most,” Zerner said.

But with their convenience, healthy claim, and flashy advertisements, protein bars are hard for consumers to pass up.

One popular bar, for instance, boasts the ability to fuel athletes for “optimum performance” and is endorsed by big names in fitness like Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps.

But a glance at the label shows that the bars contain 250

calories, 45g of carbohydrates and a whopping 25g of sugar — which is the nearequivalent of chowing down on a Snickers candy bar before a work out.

Although the body does use sugar as an energy source, eating it in quantities as large as 25g will lead to the majority of it being stored as fat. Some bars can have as many 30 ingredients in them, which nutritionists say is a red flag.

As a member of the crosscountry team, SMU senior Caitlin Keen needs workout fuel that can last for hours as she pushes through long endurance runs. She agrees that protein bars, with all their ingredients, are not the healthy choice.

“I don’t really eat protein bars because I think they’re too processed,” she said. “I eat really naturally. A rice cake with almond butter that I grind at the grocery store is my go to, and a banana.”

Kamilah Todd, a junior SMU student, said she prefers egg white omelets as her post workout protein source, a meal that comes highly recommended by nutritionists and personal

trainers alike.

Not only are these snacks healthier, but they’re also more cost-efficient.

At Tom Thumb in Snider Plaza, a dozen eggs cost $2.68 which can be used to make at least three omelets. At the same grocery store, a protein bar can cost anywhere from $1.50$2.25 each.

“Cost is always a factor to consider when it comes to nutrition,” Zerner said. “There are often much more economical ways to infuse protein into your diet than through energy bars.”

SMU football player Blake Poston said that the diet of a student athlete before a game is heavily protein and carbohydrate based, but these come from natural foods, as opposed to processed bars.

“Before our games they serve us chicken, rice, corn, green beans and stuff like that,” he said.

Although the team does occasionally snack on protein bars during games, Poston said they are eaten as a quick, convenient snack in between quarters as opposed to a

nutritional supplement.

Nationally recognized fitness expert Danny Connolly of the InCinR8 fitness studio in Dallas, who has trained celebrities such as Whitney Port, insisted that despite the temptations out there, he does not endorse protein bars of any kind.

“Hidden sugars are harmful, the body doesn’t absorb and assimilate as efficiently as it would a natural protein source, such as hard boiled eggs,” said Connolly.

Protein should be infused frequently throughout the day, but the absorption of protein is most important in the morning, to jump start your day, and at night, as a recovery tool.

So how much protein should a person be putting in his or her body per day?

Experts say it varies from person to person. As a general rule, sedentary individuals should ingest about half as many grams of protein as their weight in pounds.

If a person is more active, he or she should increase that number to one gram of protein per pound, but no more than that.

Ryan Thomas Berube adds to the already crowded group of swimmers even more prestigious to the SMU waters.

Not only is Berube another swimmer on our list, but he is also another Olympic athlete.

Born Dec. 26, 1973, Berube grew up to be one of the best swimmers in the world; winning the gold medal as the anchor on the U.S. men’s team in the 4x200-m freestyle relay at the 1996 Summer Olympics

in Atlanta.

During his career at SMU, Berube dominated the poll and won a total of three NCAA Titles in 1996: the 100-m backstroke, 200-m backstroke and the 200-m individual medley.

His dominance in the water during the 1996 season earned the honor of NCAA Swimmer of the Year.

Today, Berube has a career at Credit Suisse in Family Wealth Management.

But despite settling down, Berube couldn’t stay out of the water for very long.

In 2010, he joined Swim across America in San Francisco and continues to swim with the organization.

Berube swims for those whose life has been affected by cancer and to honor his wife, Michele , who survived a brain tumor diagnosis at age 17.

SMU welcomes all interested students to join them for their last meeting of the year Monday at 7 p.m. in the Dedman Fitness Center.

The late U.S. Open champion and SMU graduate Payne Stewart makes the list as the only SMU golfer to win three major championships including the 1989 PGA Championship and the 1991 and 1999 U.S. Opens.

Stewart was very popular on the PGA Tour with his distinctive style of ivy caps and patterned pants that were a throwback to the traditional golf “uniform.”

Just months after winning the 1999 U.S. Open, Stewart, along with his agents, Robert Fraley and Van Ardan, pilots Michael Kling and Stephanie Bellegarrigue and Bruce Borland, a highly regarded golf course architect, died in a plane crash Oct. 25, 1999.

The cabin of the Learjet traveling from Orlando, Fla. to Dallas lost pressure and the plane eventually crashed in Mina, South Dakota after two F-16 fighters followed the plane until it went down.

Stewart was on his way to Dallas to discuss building a new home-course for the SMU golf program.

That week at the Tour Championship, golfer and good friend Stuart Appleby, organized a tribute to Stewart by donning one of Stewart’s own signature outfits and the rest of the field wore “short pants” as well.

Stewart’s 18-foot par put on the 72nd hole of the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst was one of golf ’s most dramatic finishes.

The moment is memorialized with a bronze statue of Stewart near the 18th green of Pinehurst No. 2.

At SMU, Stewart tied for 16th at the 1977 NCAA Championship.

Stewart finished tied for 16th at the 1977 NCAA Championships and also won an individual Southwest Conference title in 1979.

Stewart was named to the 1979 second team All-American team and was an All-SWC selection during the 1978-79 season.

In February, the U.S. Golf Association announced Stewart as the recipient of the 2014 Bob Jones Award and will be honored during a public ceremony as part of U.S. Open festivities in June.

The 11-time winner is being awarded the USGA’s highest honor for having demonstrated the spirit, personal character and

respect for the game exhibited

by Jones, who won nine USGA championships.

Stewart donated his time and financial assistance to charitable efforts that promoted the game and those in need.

Payne and Tracey, his wife, started the Payne Stewart Family Foundation to teach their children about giving back to the community.

Are unpaid internships really worth the cost?

Kelly Neupert Contributing Writer kneupert@smu.edu Job Description: Marketing Intern Qualifications: Must have at least a 3.0 GPA and is currently enrolled in a college or university either in their junior/senior year, would be helpful to have knowledge and experience in the marketing field, must have proficient abilities in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook Compensation: None; can seek college credit Posts like the one above flood community boards, as well as university career websites all in hopes of hiring motivated students looking for internship opportunities.

As school winds down and application cycles begin to close, students are anxious to find internships that will build their resume.

Students gladly accept unpaid internships expecting compensation in the form of useful experience and networking, wistfully hoping that their hours of labor won’t go unnoticed and will eventually turn into a paid job opportunity. Yet, should students be so quick to assume that their unpaid internship will transform into a job?

According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, hiring rates for those who had chosen to complete an unpaid internship ended up being 37 percent, almost the same for those who had not completed an internship at all at 35 percent.

In contrast, students who received payment for their internship had a 63 percent chance of securing employment. Additionally, students with paid internships guaranteed a much higher salary with an average of $51,930, while students with unpaid internships or no internship history at all received $37,721 and $37,087 approximately.

While some argue these trends result from students pursuing jobs in lowerpaying fields like journalism and fashion, I rationalize that the act of accepting no compensation for one’s labor devalues your worth from the perspective of the employer.

If an employer can get away with hiring you and not compensating you for your work, what motivation do they have for doing anything other than that?

Lately, new laws formed defining what constitutes as a legal and illegal internship after previous interns filed public lawsuits against highprofile corporations, such as Conde Nast, Fox, Sony, NBCUniversal, and Hearst Magazines.

According to the New York Times, in June 2014, a Federal District Court judge ruled in favor of two interns, citing that Fox Searchlight Pictures violated federal and New York minimum wage laws.

The ruling sent most major corporations scrambling to review their internship programs and geared them towards internships for academic credit.

While some would consider this an achievement, students beg to differ. Offering internships in exchange for course credit requires students to physically pay to do their labor, considering that in order to get course credit you must be enrolled in the school and therefore, paying school tuition. Most students maneuver their way around this alternative, opting to keep their internship illegal rather than to pay to work.

New legal restrictions won’t curtail the mass availability of unpaid internships.

Furthermore, students will continue to take unpaid internships for fear of looking less qualified in comparison to other hopefuls wishing to gain “work experience.”

According to the research firm, Intern Bridge, it is estimated that undergraduates work in more than one million internships per year with an approximated half of which are unpaid. This doubleedged sword creates what some call a new generation of graduated interns stuck in the middle of unemployment and naive thinking.

The solution seems to be two-fold: students need to refrain from voluntarily taking unpaid internships and set their sights on industries with high demand and low supply of labor, while companies need to recognize the value of interns and begin to only offer paid internship opportunities.

In providing paid internships, companies automatically designate value and effort towards their interns, guaranteeing that they receive true real world experience and networking.

In turn, if trained correctly, interns become a beneficial resource for future hires and the improvement of the company for the long-term.

The lawn in front of Dallas Hall was adorned with flags last week by Mustangs for Life, to commemorate lives lost to abortion each day.

Understanding, not judgement Activism through shaming is not an acceptable approach to abortion Alex Day Contributing Writer alexd@smu.edu Recently I was leaving a class in Dallas Hall when I happened upon a lawn full of flags. “There is hope and healing after abortion,” read one of the signs just outside the epicenter of campus.

I would agree. There is hope and healing after abortion. But this is not the way to bring it about. This demonstration does nothing more than shame women who have had to make incredibly difficult medical decisions.

You don’t know the circumstances surrounding women’s choices.

Imagine for a moment that you’re a victim of rape or incest.

There is no good choice in that situation.

that judging and condemning an entire group of people based on circumstances that you don’t know is not the “hopeful” course of action, and it certainly doesn’t promote healing.

This is your “Memorial of Innocents,” according to your signs. Mustangs for Life, where are the flags for the 16 million American children who live in food-insecure households?

Where are the flags for the 1.6 million children who will be homeless this year?

What about the 50,000 teenage girls and young women who die during pregnancy and childbirth every year?

What about the more than 23,000 kids a year who will age out of the foster care system and face heightened odds of experiencing homelessness, poor health, unemployment, and

incarceration as adults?

Opposing abortion without actively fighting for the living, breathing, thinking children who are suffering is not pro-life.

The best way to prevent abortion is to advocate for comprehensive sex education in schools, widespread access to contraceptives and promotion of affordable, preventive health care. These are ways to protect life; shaming women is not.

Abortion is certainly not a desirable option. But before you confront women who have undergone the experience with your moral judgment, take a moment to think about who you’re really saving.

Representation

Explaining how Student Senate works Christopher Cornell Contributing Writer ccornell@smu.edu In recent weeks the Daily Campus has reported extensively on the Student Senate, unfortunately it has reported some factual errors about how the senate is structurally set up and what it does.

As senate parliamentarian — the officer responsible senate rules and structure — I felt it might be good to provide clarification to students about how the Senate is set up and what it does.

First, some basic facts.

The senate is empowered by the Student Body Constitution, the Senate By-Laws and the Senate Policies and Procedures, and is made up of two broad groups of members, senators and non-senators.

The senators fall into five groups, all of whom vote. These are 1) the parliamentarian (who is also a senate officer), 2) the school senators (one for every 300 students in each school), 3) the first-year senators (one for every 300 first years), 4) the transfer senator (one for all of the transfer students), and 5) the special interest senators

Shaming women by shoving rubber stamp baby feet in their faces in the middle of campus?

Surely there are better ways to promote life.

Or imagine you’re a middleaged woman, married, with stable finances. You’re ready to start a family. In fact, you can’t wait. But, unbeknownst to you, something went wrong, some little biological mutation happened, and now the child you’ve been dreaming about has a fetal abnormality such as anencephaly that will cause it to die minutes after its birth.

Again, there are no good options. Reminding every passerby that a fetus has a heartbeat is not hopeful or respectful.

(senators who represent the concerns of the Asian-American, African-American, HispanicAmerica, and International student populations).

The non-senators are the Student Body Officers (president, vice-president, secretary, and graduate affairs officer) all of whom vote, the other senate officers (chief of staff who votes and speaker who votes to break ties), the committee chairs, general members, webmaster, and comptroller. Chairs only vote on electing the chief of staff unless they also serve as a senator (however, finance chair can’t be a senator), the webmaster and comptroller don’t vote unless they’re senators and general members never vote.

The student body and student senate officers all exercise a number of important functions.

The president advocates for student issues and concerns with the administration; the graduate affairs officer does the same for the graduate students and chairs meetings of the graduate council presidents.

The vice-president also advocates and performs senate administrative functions. The secretary takes minutes at

senate meetings, keeps track of senate documents, and chairs the Code of Conduct revision committee.

The speaker presides over senate meetings and with the parliamentarian enforces senate procedure and rules.

The parliamentarian, who is an officer and a senator, enforces the rules and procedures of the senate, makes sure senate legislation complies with the governing documents, and serves as speaker in the speaker’s absence.

The chief of staff makes sure the committees run smoothly and is the person who appoints members of most committees.

The senate is the forum in which student issues and concerns are raised and it allocates funding to student organizations.

Senate advocacy occurs by members raising student concerns and taking them to the administration and working to find a solution. This typically happens through senate legislation, issue specific advocacy by members and through senate committees.

Committees address specific issues and most of them are made up of senators and general student members.

Senate funding tends to raise many questions. Basically, part of the activities fee, $56 per student, is given to the senate to fund student organizations.

For every graduate student 75% of the $56 is given to the graduate councils in each school to fund graduate student organizations, as they are chartered and funded through the councils, not the senate.

The remainder is allocated to groups that apply and present their funding requests to the senate finance committee, which reviews requests and makes funding recommendations to the senate.

After reviewing the proposals the senate debates and votes on the final funding requests.

With this I hope students will have a better understanding of how their senate works and what it does.

The Crow Collection of Asian Art offers daily free admission and guided tours every Saturday at 1 p.m., and special events during which you can enjoy music, dance, films, tours and occasional complimentary food and beverages.

jehadu abshiro News Writer jabshiro@smu.edu There are 27 days left until school, exams and graduation are done and everyone leaves for home or travel. But with a little less than a month left on the Hilltop, there is a lot of learning and cramming left to do. Here are seven places to visit either on your way to another Dallas hotspot or for a break from sitting in Fondy for eight consecutive hours.

First stop is the Adrian E. Flatt, M.D., Hand Collection at Baylor University Medical Center. The hand collection, named after hand surgeon Adrian E. Flatt, is made of more than 100 cast, bronzecoated hands. A wide contrast of personalities are in various sizes presented on the first floor of the hospital. Katherine Hepburn, Walt Disney, Louis Armstrong and Winston Churchill are just a handful of the personalities captured in the sculptures.

Everyone has heard of the Dallas Farmers Market and if you haven’t been there yet, you need to visit before you leave the Hilltop. Switch out your Whole Foods produce for local, fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, purveyed honey and nuts.

The market operates seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. so it fits perfectly with your schedule.

Be sure to check out Shed 2, where specialty products are offered, or

For a not so healthy Dallas staple, Keller’s Drive-in serves up classic American food. Vintage cars owners, families and bikers alike gather at the Northwest Highway joint, which takes you back to the ‘50s. Pull up, set your hazard lights on and you wait for the server to come to you. Fun fact, Dallas is home to the first drive-in in the nation. This is probably not the place for you if you’re gluten free or vegetarian. But if you’re not, be sure to stop by, preferably in the evenings.

The Crow Collection of Asian Art is known for their extensive collection of art, but most people haven’t heard or seen The Samurai Collection at The Ann & Gabriel Barbier-Mueller Museum. Tucked away in the second floor of the Saint Ann Restaurant & Bar, the collection includes Japanese armor, artwork, helmets, masks, horse armor, weaponry and accessories.

It’s one of the largest collections of its type in the world and just a few seconds from a bar stocked with craft beer.

Skyline. It’s pink and goldlabeled commemorating the historic city. There is also a 4D cinema. Granted the characters are all Lego Characters, but it’s 4D. Rooftop anything is always fun, and one of the best places to experience the Dallas Skyline is at the Belmont Hotel. Perched on North Oak Cliff, one of the few hills in Dallas, you can see for miles. The historic motor court hotel holds the BarBelmont and SMOKE, which serves up southern cuisine. Other rooftop options include NYLO’s, the Den Bar & Grill, the Quarter Bar, and the Green Room.

Last but not least, the historic Texas Theatre is known for being the place Oswald was found and arrested after shooting JFK and Officer J.D. Tippitt. Among the plush red velvet seats, a goldlabeled pink chair remains, commemorating the historic capture. It simply says: “Lee Harvey Oswald, November 22, 1963.”

Located in Oakcliff, the theatre hosts a number of events, including burlesque shows, live music, parties and movies.

Between now and graduation, you can watch documentary “Flex Is Kings” or the burlesque show and movie “Show Girls,” or attend a Q&A with Patrick Warburton.

For Dallas/Fort Worth born-and-bred Green River Ordinance, Saturday’s concert at the House of Blues was an all too necessary homecoming.

“So excited to be at the House of Blues Dallas tonight. Grew up dreaming about playing this room.

Thanks for making it come true,” the band tweeted before the concert.

With a house full of loud fans singing along to the band’s songs, new and old, Green River Ordinance performed in true form.

Their folksy melodies, strong guitars and powerful lyrics quickly turned the quiet crowd of young professionals and middle age Dallasites into a rowdy, excitable bunch.

Most commercially known for their songs that have appeared on countless television shows, like “So You Think You Can Dance” “The Hills” and “The Young and the Restless,” Green River Ordinance played fan favorite “Come On” and dedicated “Endlessly” to a couple in the crowd married for 37 years.

The band’s impressive range of sound, from fiddle to accordion to Jamey Ice’s variety of guitars, filled the House of Blues. A drum break featuring Joshua Wilkerson and drummer Denton Hunker was a crowd favorite and showcased just how multitalented the band’s members truly are.

House of Blues provides a more personal venue than other popular Dallas concert halls and Green River Ordinance’s intimate set made the full house seem much smaller.

Paced perfectly, lead singer Josh Jenkins spoke with the crowd between songs and moved effortlessly from one hit to the next. Green River Ordinance does have Christian undertones, and sang a few of their more religious songs like “Better Love” earlier in the set.

Joshua Wilkerson from Green River Ordinance plays on stage at Dallas House of Blues.

Fellow Dallas-born singersongwriter Jillian Edwards opened for the band, accompanied by her husband and brother-in-law, who formed a group all their own called The Inlaws.

Her sugary sweet voice was beautifully matched by the lullaby tones of her music and she showcased her own abilities by sending her

family offstage to entertain the audience alone, with a spotlight and acoustic guitar.

With 11 more shows left in their Kicking Up Dust Tour, Green River Ordinance and Jillian Edwards have already hit their stride and are on their way toward true commercial success.
