Yemen comes to compromise

Online Editor mshamburge@smu.edu

Administrators, student senators and students gathered in the HughesTrigg Commons Tuesday evening to watch the inauguration of the 98th Student Senate. Student Body President Austin Prentice told the new Senate that it was time to “make SMU the best university in the country.” He also promised to work diligently with Senate to accomplish their goals. “In no way can I promise success in every endeavor, but you have my word the maximum amount of effort will be made on all issues,” he said. “I will not dismiss any concern or

idea without actively listening to everything you have to say.” The new Student Senate met for the first time after the inauguration and elected Senate officers. Senators elected Ted Belden to be the new Speaker, Alex Morgan to be the new Parliamentarian and Alex Mace to be Chief of Staff. President R. Gerald Turner congratulated the new senators and thanked them for their commitment to serve the student body as senators. “It’s an important function, it takes a good bit of time, and all of us appreciate you doing it,” he said. Turner said he was looking forward to working with Prentice and the rest of his administration. He also thanked former Student

Body President Jake Torres for his service. Senate Advisor Jennifer Jones offered advice to the new Student Senate. “Go forth and do what you have been called to do,” she said. “You’ve been called to service; take it seriously because you have been chosen to be the responsible spokesperson for the 300 students that you represent. So it’s not about you. It’s about us. So make us proud.” Torres also gave the new Student Senate advice, saying they should have virtue in everything they do, always remember the responsibilities they have been given and to have a

Professors given one minute to speak on happiness By STEPHANIE EMBREE Staff Writer sembree@smu.edu

The Hilltop scholars gave two professors 60 seconds to define happiness to students Tuesday. Professor in the history department and director of the Embrey Human Right Program Rick Halperin was the first lecturer. Professor Willard Spiegelman, an English professor, gave the second lecture. During his 60 seconds Halperin said, “I have frequently said that in my mind I am the luckiest and I think therefore among the happiest I know in that I get paid to be me.” While a world without human rights crimes and with good behavior is important to Halperin he brought it back to a level that involved SMU and its students. “I get to do what I’ve always dreamt of doing, which is working with young people in an environment of ideas and ideals about making this

world better… to come to school every day and work with young people who have a passion.” Once Halperin stepped down it was Spiegelman’s turn to enlightened the crowd. Dr. Spiegelman teaches several English courses and has 10 published books. One of his books, Seven Pleasures: Essays on Ordinary Happiness, was raffled off at the lecture. Referencing his book Spiegelman said, “My seven pleasures are reading, walking, looking, dancing, listening, swimming and writing.” Spiegelman intends all these pleasures to be done in solitude and produce feelings of selfless pleasure. This is so, “you pay attention, not to yourself but to a picture on the wall, a piece of music you hear or a book you are reading. You lose yourself in order to become a higher, finer version of yourself.”

Heart Attack Grill opens in Dallas’ West End on May 13 with the goal of using reverse psychology to raise awareness of rising obesity in America.

Restaurant uses reverse psychology to address obesity in America By SARAH KRAMER News Editor skramer@smu.edu

Dressed in a white coat with a stethoscope around his neck, this 5’10,” 195-pound doctor checks on his patients everyday. This is no ordinary doctor. Actually, he is not a doctor at all. He is a chef. “Dr.” Jon Basso, owner of Heart Attack Grill, a restaurant opening in Dallas’ West End on May 13, created a themed restaurant where he uses reverse psychology to share his message about the rising obesity problem in America. The first, and until now only, Heart Attack Grill opened in Chandler, Ariz. in 2005.

At the restaurant, waitresses— dressed as nurses—serve “food for thought,” which includes highfat offerings such as milkshakes, burgers and lard-soaked fries to their customers who are commonly referred to as patients. If patients weigh in at more than 350 pounds, they receive a free meal. If they finish a Triple or Quadruple Bypass Burger—a stack of four halfpound patties with bacon and four layers of cheese—they are offered curbside service in a wheelchair. Dressed in his lab coat, the 46-year-old restaurant owner shares his message of obesity with all his “patients” eating at the Arizona restaurant. The guests dress in

surgical gowns that they receive at the door. Basso will continue this tradition when he moves to Dallas and opens his second location. “Sure, the basic idea is to make money,” Basso said. “But, I’m doing my part to create a diner theater environment which forces such philosophical introspection.” More than a third of U.S. adults are obese according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2010, 29 percent of adults in Texas were categorized as obese, placing Texas in the top 15 fattest states

Conservatives across nation unite through grassroots website By SARAH KRAMER News Editor skramer@smu.edu

After the general elections in November, two Dallasites launched a website that connects grassroots citizens nation wide, as well as in their community. “We felt like conservatives needed to come together in a place where they could have access to activities in order to have maximum impact on the government,” Chad Biddinger, founder of LibertyLinked said. Biddinger and co-founder Corey Cheek organized LibertyLinked around three core principles: fiscal responsibility, limited government and the rule of law. LibertyLinked’s mission is similar to the Democrat group, Organizing for America. “We looked at our country and saw that the left had this amazing

machine and we had to respond,” Biddinger said. “And this is our response.” Before they created the site, conservatives followed the Republican activity through more than 100 websites. Now, they only have to access one—LibertyLinked—for a full activity calendar. When someone becomes a member of the site, he or she is automatically added to the district, both state and federal, in which they live. Through this website, conservatives across the nation can elect and hold their representatives accountable. Members can also blog and join activism groups. As they build their site, LibertyLinked is looking for student interns. Staring in May, interns will

P90X becomes trendy in-home workout By KATIE TUFTS

Health and Fitness Editor ktufts@smu.edu

It’s already starting to feel like summer in Dallas with the temperatures and humidity rising, and students know that classes must be coming to an end. Though this means a three-month break from school, which many are looking forward to, this also means changes of all kinds. With changes in living arrangements, places and schedules, students will be turning in their books for business attire for their internships and jobs, so working out can be a challenge. Gym memberships can be expensive, especially for the summer months when students are on a budget. Many may neglect their workouts and health regimens for other priorities, but in-home workouts can help students stay fit. Recently, the P90X, or Power 90 Extreme, at-home workout has become popular, and itcould be the solution to the workout needs of a busy SMU student this summer. P90X is a 90- day, boot camp style, at-home workout and nutritional guide, which emphasizes “muscle confusion.” This consists of switching exercises around and incorporating new and

varied exercise so that the body does not become complacent and become used to the movements. Tony Horton, a personal trainer and exercise instructor with the parent company, Beachbody, created the P90X system in 2003, and it has recently become popular with other boot camp-type workouts, such as Crossfit workouts. “I found out about P90X through a friend of mine from high school and I thought it was kind of silly until I saw the actual infomercial, then I realized that it was a revolutionary way to work out,” Luis Lemus, an SMU junior said. “I have been doing it on and off for about a year now. You have

to be extremely disciplined in order to follow the workout guide as well as the nutrition guide, but when you commit to it, the results are amazing.” Derek Ruiz, a certified personal trainer and SMU Group X instructor, sees several benefits to the P90X workout system. “The benefits are that if you commit to any exercise regiment for 90 days, working out six days a week, you are going to see and feel results. It helps that P90X has many different exercises that will help keep your workouts fresh and fun, and allows you to adapt the system to reach your own personal goals,” Ruiz said. Many workouts, gyms and

personal trainers are also adding nutritional guides to physical workout regimens as well. “It does include a nutritional guide and a way to keep track of your progress. The workouts themselves are complete, full body workouts with little equipment so you perform these exercises almost anywhere,” Ruiz said. However, Ruiz also sees some shortfalls in the P90X regimen. “Some people will not progress as quickly, and in 90 days your body still may not be ready to handle the impact and stress of higher impact workouts such as plyometrics,” Ruiz said. Many also value the experience and feedback from a personal trainer or workout class where a trainer or teacher can critique exercises and individual form. “Watching a video does not provide feedback of your biomechanics and exercise form to ensure a safe and effective workout,” Ruiz said. “This would be like learning how to play basketball just by watching a game on TV and trying to mimic the movements. Sure you will learn something new, but improper form will lead to injuries and reduced results.” However, Lemus sees being able to workout at home as a benefit.

“The best part about it is that you don’t have to buy a gym membership or even leave your house to workout. I work out in my living room then hit the shower and a protein shake right after. It makes sense to have your logistics in place when you’re going to do your body right,” Lemus said But, he adds, “A complete workout program will focus on muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, cardio, body composition and a way to track your eating habits. P90X does cover it all.” Ruiz recommends the P90X workout to students with the caution that setting aside the time to fulfill the program workouts can be difficult, but if you take the time and follow the program correctly, he believes that it can produce positive results. “As for any dieting and eating plan, please consult a registered professional,” Ruiz said. Eating healthy and cardio are very important and should not be neglected.” Ruiz also made comparisons of P90X to SMU personal training. “SMU personal training has programs comparable to P90X, but adds personal training feedback of proper form and a high-energy

atmosphere to keep you going,” he said. “These programs are ‘Mustang Shed & Shred - Shed the fat and Shred the muscles,’ and ‘Max X Boot Camp.’” “It tests both the young and old and it gives you a realistic goal that can be attained. If you’re a student, you can do it in your dorm room or your apartment,” Lemus said. Students do not need to purchase any expensive equipment in order to follow the P90X routines. “All you need is a set of dumbbells, resistance bands, a pull-up bar and yourself,” said Lemus. When schedules become busier with internships and jobs students also lose the motivation to find a gym and actually go, but Lemus also sees the benefits in not having to go to a gym. “There are no excuses, just push play and the rest is history. P90X works for life and it only costs $120 dollars,” Lemus said. The P90X program usually sells for around $120 and comes with 12 DVDs for the 90-day, in-home workout and includes a nutritional plan.

GRILL: ‘Dr.’ rewards obese with free meals, curb-side service to encourage dieting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

that year. According to Texas Public School Nutrition, approximately 30 percent of Texas children are obese or overweight. While Basso is first to admit that “this is a horrible epidemic and obesity is a horrible thing,” he believes Heart Attack Grill is the only responsible food service in America. “I provide a valid service—it’s that shock value,” he said. Though many dieticians and doctors admit the theme of the restaurant is fun, they condemn the message of gluttony and extreme eating. “We are in such a state of disregard for our health,” Meridan Zerner, a dietitian at the Dallas-based Cooper Aerobics Center, a fitness and wellness clinic said. “It is predicted that our children won’t outlive us.” SMU Vice President of Executive Affairs and professor of marketing Dr. Tom Barry thinks the irony of the Heart Attack Grill’s message will be lost on many people. The contrarian viewpoint is that obesity is a good thing or at least not a bad thing and we should eat our heart’s delight, he said. This restaurant is making light of the obesity problem. In March, Heart Attack Grill made national headlines when its 29-year-old spokesman, Blair Rivers, died of complications from pneumonia. Rivers weighed approximately 600 pounds. “His death says no more or less about Heart Attack Grill than it does about any of his other lifestyle choices,” Basso said. “We’re all saddened by his death.” When Dr. Michael Mack, a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon at Baylor Hospital, started practicing medicine in the 1980s, cigarette smoking was the epidemic. The goal at that time was to get people to stop smoking. “If you could get them to stop smoking, we thought it would cure so many illness,” Mack said. “But, people just replaced one abuse for another. Obesity is ultimately the worst cigarette.” While obesity triggers high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease, it also leads to an increase in hip and knee replacements, according to Mack. “The body was not made to carry around all this weight,” he said. Before opening the first Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, Ariz. in 2005, Basso ran Jenny Craig franchises in Oklahoma, his home state. To Basso, strict dieting is not the most efficient way to curb obesity. He wants to help those who have “hit rock bottom” by playing both the doctor and the villain. Though he serves his patients big portions, he is not hesitant to tell them they should only eat like that occasionally. “I am still prescribing successful diet programs,” Basso said. “Sure, the majority of my medical colleagues disagree with my recommendations, but my patient base does not.” Dallasite Dee Raibourn is aware that Heart Attack Grill is opening in Dallas. “Both the burgers and the theme will cause me to visit at some point,” he said. “But candidly, I probably wouldn’t drive out of my way.” According to Raibourn, a lawyer, people have the freedom to eat as they please but need to be accountable for their actions. “People should know that burgers and fries, from wherever, aren’t the healthiest choice,” he said. “So, if people want to eat somewhere that’s over the top in calories and fat, then so be it.” Barry, a marketing professor at SMU, thinks Heart Attack Grill’s move to Dallas is in part due to the innovativeness of the city. “It is a ‘happening place,’” he said. “It is economically vibrant and it is a hotbed for businesses, especially entrepreneurs.” According to Barry, Heart Attack Grill is “an innovative eatery” and consumers are constantly looking for something

that stands out and is trendy. Basso’s tactic is original. He compares his message to the way a person approaches a new software download. “We are in your face asking, ‘Are you sure? It’s permanent. Are you sure you want to eat this?’” he said. “I always say, ‘Check it out. We have nicotine, caffeine, sodium and cholesterol.’” The response he gets: laughter. “People enjoy it, but they know it’s bad,” Basso said. There used to be a stigma associated with obsession eating and obesity, according to Mack. “Now, it’s almost like it’s not anymore. It’s more a badge of courage,” he said. “This restaurant is feeding into this national, and Texas,

obsession with eating.” Tara Mason, a mother of two who lives in Dallas, focuses on instilling a healthy lifestyle for her daughters. A trip to Heart Attack Grill is probably not in her future. “It’s really important to be healthy for my girls and for myself,” she said. “With our hectic lifestyle today, it’s easy to make the choice to pick up fast food every day or eat out.” Mason said making a homecooked meal is more time consuming, but to her, it’s more important in the long run to instill healthy eating habits in her children. A recent report conducted by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation examined 223 counties in Texas. While Collin,

Denton and Rockwall Counties ranked in the top five healthiest counties in Texas, Dallas County ranked 50th. Issues such as health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, physical environment, mortality and morbidity factor into the county’s ranking. “In the city of Dallas the majority of people do not have access to gyms or other recreation centers,” Zachary Thompson, the director of Dallas County Health & Human Services said. “Most people cannot afford to pay for these facilities monthly.” Considering factors such as money and health, Basso advises his patients to only come in once a week. “I’m willing to look out for your wallet, and for you,” he said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stripped down, uncompromising exploration of the power of a moment; of another person; of an unrequited feeling. Second Thought Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Adam Rappâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartbreaking play will gnaw at your soul in ways that theater often attempts to, but rarely achieves. The story is simple and common. Two college buddies, Davis (Alex Organ) and Matt (Drew Wall), are in Amsterdam years after graduation. Davis is a successful, cocky book publisher and Matt is a struggling, melancholy playwright. Their friendship is stale and bitter, as demonstrated by the telling arguments that play out in front of Christina (Natalie Young) the prostitute that Davis has hired for Matt from a window in the famed Red Light District. Thus begins a severe, yet compelling exploration of human desire, love and significance. Director Regan Adair has taken a challenging play that deals with sincere human emotions and allowed the scenes to unfold in real time. Uncomfortable silences suffocate scenes with an exhilarating poignancy. Each movement and each glance is calculated, yet meaningful. The attention to detail is made especially evident by Adairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promenade stage style that has the audience on either side, as if at a tennis match. But the actors will blow you away. This cast has the greatest emotional presence and sincerity of any Dallas show this year, thus far.

In the wrong hands, the graphic content and the harsh themes of this play would lose any humanity and could easily come across as disrespectful,

but the three actors are respectful and wholehearted in their treatment of the characters. Organ is realistically insolent and

broken, yet compassionate Matt. His desperation appears to inform his lovesickness, which pushes him toward Christina as his one consolation. Young proves herself to be one of the inexcusably unheralded actresses in town with her stunning portrayal of Christina. This alluring actress combines sexuality and desolation in a way that forces the audience to feel her distress. The entire cast generously opens up to the play in a way that allows the graphic content to have its place. A play that could so easily be brushed off as contrived or merely shocking is given a treatment that is affecting and thought-provoking.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Mavericks take down Trail Blazers in Game 5 By ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS (AP) -- Tyson Chandler is the active, energetic big man the Dallas Mavericks have never had before. He’s also a pretty good strategist. Knowing the season was basically on the line in Game 5 of their first-round series against Portland, Chandler went to coach Rick Carlisle on Monday morning with a suggestion. Instead of always playing on the weak side of the offense, he wanted to move around to try getting more involved and to have a better chance at grabbing rebounds. Go for it, Carlisle said. Chandler wound up with 14 points and 20 rebounds, but his most important contribution might’ve been setting the aggressive, exciting tone the Mavericks needed to bounce back from a devastating loss and beat the Trail Blazers 93-82. Dallas leads the series 3-2, with two days to rest up before trying to close things out in Game 6 on Thursday night in Portland. “He’s got to be active for us, and he knows that,” Mavs star Dirk Nowitzki said. “Hyping the crowd, being vocal in the huddle. That’s what he’s been doing for us all year long. If he keeps playing like that, with energy, we’ll be OK.” The Mavs were fresh off blowing a 23-point lead over the final 14 minutes of Game 4. Instead of having the Trail Blazers on the brink of elimination, they’d given the No. 7 seed new hope of pulling off the upset. Carlisle called it a must-win, a nod to Dallas being 0-4 in Portland this season and to the club having lost eight straight playoff road games. Between Chandler’s new role and a healthy use of a zone defense, the Mavs again found themselves up by double-digits early in the fourth quarter. Only this time they were able to protect it, forcing 10 straight misses and playing smart on offense. Although Dallas’ shooting touch was off - the Mavs missed their first

10 3-point tries of the second half they got to the foul line and won the rebounding battle. Dallas not only outrebounded its taller foe 49-37, the Mavs grabbed a whopping 20 offensive rebounds. Chandler had 13, and swatted several more to guards near midcourt. His offensive boards were the most ever by a Dallas player in the playoffs and the most for anyone in the playoffs since Shaquille O’Neal had 14 in 1995. “They played like they wanted it more than we did,” said Portland’s Brandon Roy, who went from scoring 24 points in Game 4 to just five in 26 minutes. “They played harder than we did. I thought they played a little tougher than in the first four games. They had more of a sense of urgency. Now it’s our turn to show that same sense of urgency.” Nowitzki led Dallas with 25 points, 11 coming in the third quarter, when the Mavericks broke open a tight game with a 15-5 run. Still, everyone was waiting to see whether they could protect it this time. Chandler made sure of it. He had seven rebounds in the final period, including one that resulted in a layup by J.J. Barea that put Dallas up by 17 and prompted the Blazers to call time out. As the home crowd stood and roared in approval, Chandler walked to the bench with a huge smile, nodding his head and rocking his shoulders. “Coming out tonight, I knew my team would need me,” he said. “After a bad loss, a lot of times it can carry over. Tonight, I wanted to bring energy and hope my teammates would feed off it, and they did.” Chandler was tenacious from the start, putting up seven points and seven rebounds in nine minutes. His teammates weren’t as crisp, but they eventually followed his lead. “At the beginning of the game, both teams were so jacked, neither team could even run a play,” Carlisle said. “Hey, when guys are playing that hard, it’s just playing basketball and making plays.

Mahnesmith named team MVP, banquet held to honor Mustangs By JENNIFER BUNTZ Associate Sports Editor jbuntz@smu.edu

Dallas Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd pumps his fist during the fourth quarter of Game 5 of a first-round NBA basketball playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers in Dallas, Monday evening. The Mavericks won 93-82.

of some stuff and it was great.” History is certainly on Dallas’ side to pull out the series. Of the previous 157 series tied at 2, the Game 5 winner has come out on top 83 percent of the time. Then again, it could easily still go to a seventh game. The home team has won every game this series. “Let’s hope that it stays that way for us,” Portland coach Nate McMillan said. Blazers center Marcus Camby

warned that his club “can’t rely on being home as a cure-all.” “We have to play a whole lot better,” he said. Jason Terry scored 20 points for Dallas and Shawn Marion added 14. Jason Kidd had 14 assists and four points, with his only basket coming long after the game was decided. Andre Miller led Portland with 18 points and Gerald Wallace scored 18. LaMarcus Aldridge had only 12 points

The women’s basketball team hosted its annual banquet last Wednesday to announce the 2010-2011 team awards. Head coach Rhonda Rompola and her staff gave out awards to six players. First up was junior Samantha Mahnesmith, who was named MVP of the year for leading the team with an average of 11.3 points per game. Mahnesmith also finished in the top 10 in C-USA in three point percentage with 34.6 percent. She finished the season with 37 steals, second on the team. Senior Haley Day was given the Mustang Award for constantly being an ideal member of the team both on and off the court. Day was also awarded this honor for always hustling, starting three years in a row and finishing the year with an average of 8.5 points per game and 863 total points. Sophomore Alisha Filmore was awarded the Hustle Award. The young point guard led the league from the three point range with 42.9 percent. She averaged 8.3 points per game and 3.1 rebounds. Filmore was most known for her ability on defense with 50 steals and the majority of her rebounds

on the defense side. Delisha Wills was recognized for the Heart Award for her love and determination for the game of basketball. Wills missed out on what was supposed to be her last season last year due to a knee injury but didn’t hesitate to take the court with leadership for another go around this year. She averaged 10.1 points per game and became the 18th player in SMU history to score at least 1,000 points in her career. She was also awarded the ScholarBaller Award for the Southwest Region due to her performance in the classroom. She finished 12th in SMU standing with 1,260 points during her time as a Mustang. Christine Elliott was given the Rebounding Award. Elliott, a junior from Wichita, Kan., totaled 213 rebounds this season that made her career total 682. She also scored a season total of 305 points that put her at 932 for her total points. Newcomer Akil Simpson earned the C-USA All-Freshman accolades. Each member of the team was also awarded a letter including the managers, Isolina Rossi, Tiffany Hoffman and Shannon Blyth.

SPORTS BRIEFS Trophy presentation The Coaches’ Trophy, presented by Dr. Pepper, arrived on SMU’s Campus Tuesday as a part of a special presentation for sports management students. The trophy is awarded yearly to the winner of the college football BCS National Championship game. Representatives from Break Away Sports Marketing spoke with students about their marketing plan to gain as much exposure as possible for the trophy and Dr. Pepper.

Track & Field ranked The Mustangs have moved up to No. 15 in the latest USTFCCCA team computer rankings. SMU is the highest ranked non-BCS automatic qualifying school after posting 113.94 points in the index. The Mustangs have been led by junior Simone du Toit, who recorded a 17 meter throw for sixth place in the NCAA Indoor Championships. The Mustangs will be competing at the Mean Green Twilight this weekend.

‘Dirty Divas’ want money not sexual liberation COMMENTARY

Whether you’re enjoying an egosmothered ‘milkshake’ by Kelis or confusing toothpaste Paul Boynton with whisky like Ke$ha, these and the other “Dirty Divas” of pop music have much more to do with taking your money than giving you sexual liberation. Late last March, Michael Dearman posed the all-too-interesting question of whether or not the explicit sexuality of today’s female pop stars encourages female sexual liberation. If so, then Dearman wondered if this explicit sexuality could be viewed as congruent with feminist mores. The article’s title, “Does neofeminism lead to prostitution or sexual freedom? The effects of female ‘liberation’ in popular music remain

to be seen,” pretty much sums it up. Having seen no response published to date, I finally decided to weigh in with three main arguments. First of all, forget “neo-feminism,” if the neo-prostitution shoe fits, then call it like it is. How did Lady Gaga become rich and famous? Simple, she incorporated burlesque into her show. How did Britney Spears become rich and famous? Was it her vocal talent? No. Was it her insightful lyrics? No. Was it her schoolgirl style sex appeal? Absolutely. Ke$ha might as well be daddy’s worst nightmare, and Shakira belly-danced her way to stardom. Their message is clear, women should use their bodies to find success. In that sense, neo-prostitution has a nice ring to it. Secondly, I think female sexual liberation stands for counterhegemonic sexual freedom. In other words, female sexual liberation should be about shaping feminine sexuality as separate from oppressive masculine stereotypes. Dearman pointed out that

“Dirty Divas” “defy typical gender roles in their music by reversing the traditional and antiquated sexual roles of men and women.” Defying gender roles sounds like sexual liberation, but merely reversing sex roles only perpetuates the sex roles. Women must learn to challenge the notion that these roles exist by developing new ones, rather than the “Dirty Divas” who participate in them as “men.” Lastly, “Dirty Diva” represent entertainers and make for poor social barometers. If these women truly affect or even reflect the level of explicit sexuality in modern female behavior, then shouldn’t women be more aggressive or forthcoming in expressing their sexual desire? But then why now is the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction (a world renowned center for sexual science) conducting major research on “Detecting Sexual Desire in Women?” Ladies, what would your friends think if you told them, “Yeah, so I

just - like - walked up to this hottie and said, ‘This beat is sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick?” The ridiculous notion that “Dirty Divas” somehow bring about sexual liberation actually shows the reverse. Female pop artists exaggerate their sexuality in order to caricature their stage presence and fame. What makes them exciting and entertaining equals precisely what makes them fictitious, a socially impossible sexuality. A true feminist and liberator should offer ideas and actions for the betterment of all women e.g. the right to vote, the right to contraceptives, or even the right to burn your bra. In contrast, “Dirty Divas” offer entertainment for the enrichment of their bank accounts at the expense of your sexual liberation. Lets not take them too seriously.

EDITORIAL

The joys of finals are sleepless nights and never ending days COMMENTARY

So it is officially that time of year when interactions with books increase and Fondren Library becomes noisier than the Hughes-Trigg Student Center. The Thursday through Saturday night business that our cab drivers usually receive will come to a halt and Giddy Up will become more hectic than ever. You all know this time of year, we all Shana Ray dread it, but it comes whether we are ready or not. Finals will be in full effect next week, and I don’t know about you, but it seems like just yesterday I was receiving my syllabus and introducing myself to my professors. Now all at once I am bombarded with papers, review sheets and notes that I have not looked at since I wrote them down months ago. As the number of study groups increase and all of a sudden you find yourself beginning to interact with your classmates more than your friends. Coffee will become a necessity and sleep will be looked at as a not so useful luxury. Your conversations with friends will be completely taken over by complaints of your workload and the fact that you have not slept. Relationships become rocky because studying for your test takes precedence over your weekly movie night. Rooming situations become tense because the lack of sleep has caused you to be not so easy to live with. Our appearance takes a backburner and a pair of sweats with a lovely mustang tee becomes everyone’s look for the week. Finals are a lot like the one relative you have that visits twice a year and each time you dread it. No matter how hard you try to ignore and prolong the fact that they are coming, they seem to always show up at the most inconvenient time of your life. As much as I hate finals, I must admit I love the rush of adrenaline I receive once I log into access view my grades and realize all those sleepless nights really paid off. My fellow Mustangs, it is time that we put on our protective wear, load our ammunition, stock up on our coffee and prepare to fight the enemy we all know as FINALS.

Through education, SMU can maintain religious tolerance COMMENTARY

My friends who live in VirginiaSnyder represent several different religions, and devote Michael Graves themselves faithfully to each of their own faiths. Hinduism, Sikhism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all represented and I would like to think that one student might even be a Pagan. Some say this is odd. I get excited just thinking about it. Surprisingly, SMU is a highly diverse campus when it comes to religion. Sure, we affiliate with the United Methodist tradition, but our administration celebrates the diversity that each student brings. I thought this was great until I realized that sometimes, it doesn’t go much further than the administration. The other day I heard an SMU student talking about Islam and the “terror that it brings to the world.” The student continued to comment on how he felt threatened by Muslim students and thought that Christianity was the only religion that should be allowed in the United States. Now, if you know my writing, you know that I do not normally speak

out against anomalies like this. Most students on this campus, and I would even go as far to say that most students on any college campus, do not feel this way. But I have a message for those who do not support religious diversity, especially the Christians who think we are (I identify as a Christian) so high and mighty. We have all been there. Do not forget that almost every religion goes through a rough patch where it thinks that its goal should be to convert or kill. Luckily, it is normally an extremely small minority in the religious sect that believes this. According to the Pew Forum, only 1 percent of American Muslims feel that a suicide bombing can be fully justified. I can assure you that during the Crusades, many more Christians felt that killing a non-Christian could be fully justified. It just amazes me how we can blanket a term “terrorist” or “heathen” over a group of people just because they do not follow our own religious beliefs. I think many people forget that the Muslim god is the same as the Christian god. Muhammad fully recognized Jesus as a person, just not the prophet of the world. Many people don’t know that in many Asian countries, if you ask a person, “What is your religion,” they would stare at you with a confused look. They rely on Hinduism, the Dao tradition, and Buddhism as well,

to cover different aspects of their daily lives. Furthermore, religious followers in Asian communities are some of the most faithful in the world. Tens of millions of people travel to the Ganges river every 12 years to celebrate the Kumb Mela, in one place. You don’t see many other religious followers doing the same. I don’t want to pick on Christians, nor do I want to single out other religions. I don’t want to say that we’re all religiously intolerant, but it is a problem that needs to be addressed, and one that I fully believe can be solved by education. If you are unsure what a religion stands for, ask a friend who affiliates with them. Look to see if they have a national website. Our campus diversity should be celebrated, and when we alleviate ignorance, we exterminate fear and prejudice. We must remember that religion is man-made, and therefore, flawed. But we all work for mostly the same thing, to rid ourselves from the strifes of this life, and make the world a slightly better place before we traverse into the next life, whatever that may be. Michael Graves is a first year religious studies and communications studies double major. He can be reached for comments or questions at mwgraves@smu.edu.

Are Christians lacking in accurate knowledge about scripture? As religions intermingle more often, it is necessary that people practices their religions actually understand their beliefs. Education about other religions is not solely the task of people that subscribe to a certain religion. They need to understand their own religion enough to engage in dialogue about it. Instead of trying to degrade others’ religions, people should understand the shortcomings of their own religion.

Great moments are born from great opportunities. Those were the words Herb Brooks, coach of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, offered his team before they went on to beat the seemingly invincible Soviets in what is known as the “Miracle on Ice.” SMU junior and singer/songwriter Carl Sullivan is hoping he and his newly formed band can testify to the truth of those words as well. The formation of the band, The Rising Suns, evolved out of Sullivan’s involvement in the worship team for Reformed University Fellowship (RUF). This January, he approached junior Salomón Bautista and sophomores Spencer Fox and Vito Gutilla and asked if they would be interested in working on a “little project” with him. They agreed and started having

what they call “jam sessions” with Sullivan after RUF on Tuesday nights. “Thanks to RUF, we were already a pretty solid group that not only worked well with one another, but felt comfortable playing with each other and sounded pretty good as a group,” Bautista said. “A combination of things that you don’t find just anywhere.” The chemistry that has already formed among the boys helped stretch Sullivan’s vision from a “little project” to creating his second full album as an artist. “The process has been amazing,” Sullivan said. “I’m surprised by how it all came together.” As they started progressing through their work, they started searching for another vocalist. One night while practicing at Meadows School of the Arts, Bautista saw sophomore Esther Craven sitting outside and asked her to practice with them. She became the final member of The Rising Suns. Fox, who plays both the djembe, an African drum, and the snare drum,

is excited about the versatility of the band. “Everyone is so talented with what we can do. We all have a broad selection of instruments that we can play well,” he said. The band recently finished recording its album, “Summer Sessions,” and is looking forward to showcasing it at their CD release party Friday from 8 p.m. to midnight at Gilley’s Dallas in the Jack Daniel’s Saloon. “Our goal is to grow musically together and to share our art with the world,” Sullivan said. Bautista admires Sullivan’s ambition and attributes it to why things have been going so well for the band. “I’ve been in bands before, but it’s just so hard to get off the ground. And, I feel like a lot of it has to do with Carl’s ambition and drive,” Bautista said. “It’s contagious. When he wants something, he really goes at it.”
