How to make money on Youtube By NATALIE BLANKENSHIP Contributing Writer nblankensh@smu.edu

14 year old Megan Parken is shooting another video from home for her ‘Meganheartsmakeup’ YouTube channel. Today she’s modeling the cutest outfits for Spring Break. Although she is only an eighth grader at Hill Country Middle School in Austin, Texas, Megan already has over 1,500,000 channel views and 56,515 subscribers after seven months of making videos. Already earning a few thousand dollars per month plus freebies sent in from different makeup and fashion companies, Megan now plans to launch a line of “Meganheartsmakeup” makeup bags, jewelry bags and more. “I was one of the first gurus to be younger and [one] of the first channels for younger girls,” Megan said. Her mother graduated from SMU and Megan would like to attend the Hilltop herself someday. Megan is one of thousands of people earning money on the video sharing website YouTube. ‘Broadcast Yourself ’ is YouTube’s slogan, and it has proven to be fitting. In order to make money on YouTube, a user starts out with either a web cam or high-end camera equipment, it doesn’t matter. Once the camera is on, one simply talks about an exciting topic, displays a great sense of humor, or maybe even just films a world record-breaking moment. Shows range from fashion to comedy. Once filmed, the video needs to be uploaded to the person’s YouTube account, and it’s then available for all to see. After the video is uploaded, a free channel devoted to one’s work is automatically created. If a video or channel gets a lot of views, YouTube will send the owner an e-mail asking him or her to join its partnership program. To join, one must sign a confidentiality agreement promising not to click on advertisements to be shown in conjunction with the videos. Because each click on the advertisements earns the person money, this prevents him or her from clicking on the ads to make a profit. Once a person is partnered with YouTube, the company then places ads on his videos and splits the revenue with him. Google AdSense makes it possible for publishers to place text ads next to their content, and the advertisers pay YouTube. YouTube then sends a monthly check to the owner. The money comes from each view of the video as well as clicks

on the advertisements. YouTube has become a hot place for advertisers to place their ads. Some companies have even created their own ads, according to Steve Edwards, an advertising professor at SMU. A blender company called Blendtec makes its own videos and posts them for free. Since people have found these videos to be particularly entertaining, like blending an iPhone, the company gets plenty of ads and views: essentially advertising for free. Advertising is all about the audience’s interests, and YouTube helps to narrow down interests through videos and channels, Edwards said. “I think it’s great because advertisers are embracing it and actually making [it] their own so

they can make it as targeted as it can [be],” he said. Whether a person has a makeup tutorial channel on YouTube or a video of the world’s fastest Toyota Supra, one can make money off each view of their video. “YouTube just sent me an e-mail a few hours after the video had been up, and we had already received about 2,000 views or so,” Kuro Tawil, a sophomore at Texas State, who recently produced and posted a video of the world’s fastest Supra, said. Tawil used his own Sanyo HD camera with no external mikes or lighting for the video. He also used Final Cut Pro to edit it, but used basic equipment for his now successful video, he said.

Other schools offer bargain summer rates By TAYLOR ADAMS News Editor tadams@smu.edu

It happens to a lot of SMU students. It may come so easily and may be such a relief to drop a class here and there in various semesters of a student’s college career. Then it comes: A student is behind and needs to catch up in order to graduate on time. Whether this is the case, or students just want to get ahead in credit hours, the summer is a time to accumulate valuable hours before going into the next academic year. The next decision is where to go: stay at SMU or go off campus? According to Janet Stephens, a degree counselor in the Meadows School of the Arts, transferring elsewhere for the summer is “very common.” The most prominent reason: cheaper alternatives. “Lots of students like to save a few tuition dollars in the summer, so we do give out a lot of transfer petitions,” she said. To attend SMU for a regular undergraduate summer session

(either session I or II) on the Dallas campus costs $985 per term credit hour, or $2,955 for one three-hour class. Many students take even more than that: For two courses the cost is $5,910. While Stephens says the number of transfer petitions may be up only slightly since the recession began in 2008, more students are citing cost in their requests. “The reasons are more clearly laid out to us that it’s ‘I can’t afford to stay here for school,’” she said. Many students also go to other schools to be closer to home. David Freitag, an SMU junior film major, went to St. Louis Community College to accumulate credit hours in the summer terms of 2009. It was “probably a grand or so” cheaper, Freitag said. It was actually even cheaper than that: For Freitag to attend St. Louis Community College, it cost $123 per credit hour—$369 for one

The Talent Recruitment Entertainment Agency Team will celebrate its approval as a fully chartered SMU organization by hosting STAGE RUSH, a campus-wide talent contest, in the Hughes-Trigg Commons at 8 p.m. on Friday. Charter status enables the organization to receive funding from SMU. “This will enable us to diversify our events so as to offer SMU students an opportunity to fully exploit their talents,” Trigg Burrage, president of the organization, said. Comedian Marvin Michaels will perform the headliner act. Other events will include music, dance performances, magic shows and food. Event organizers say that this is a chance for every student with guts to put his or her best foot forward and let the crowd judge. Cell phone text-voting will be used to determine the winner. Those interested can sign up to perform by e-mailing TREAT@ smu.edu or at the Hughes-Trigg ballroom Friday night. TREAT’s officials double as performers as well. Burrage is a magician. Moses Williams, Yaw Asante and Evan Kasper are musicians. Orlando Rojas is a dancer, and Alyssa Hunek is a drummer. TREAT was founded last year by Christene Dino, a corporate communications major, to educate students on the trades of the entertainment industry, discipline,

work ethic and attitude necessary to be successful in the field. “As a performer, I had lots of friends who lacked training and needed knowledge in order to make it in the market,” she said. “It is difficult to get non-paid training around here. As a performer, I also had this problem.” Dino received a vision from God to start TREAT in order to bridge the gap between people who needed entertainment and those that needed to offer entertainment. The organization was received warmly at SMU. One of its first events in 2009, The Red Carpet Affair (Valentine’s Dance), attained commendable success, drawing a crowd of about five hundred. The organization also brought accomplished entertainment figures to campus as speakers or trainers. In its second year, the organization plans to continue to nourish talents of students interested in the entertainment business by connecting them with opportunities and industry figures to help exercise and develop their skills. TREAT will have regular rehearsals as part of performers’ training development, organize stage workshops and arrange events to showcase talent. Members will be assisted to prepare resumes and plan for networking with other students and industry representatives locally, nationally and internationally. Members are also available to provide quality entertainment for on campus or campus-related events through exceptional musical performances.

Brown Bag tackles procrastination By GLORIA SALINAS

Nearly 20 members of SMU students and faculty with lunches in hand, filled room 205 of the Memorial Health Center. They sat side by side at Wednesday’s Brown Bag, a procrastination workshop hosted by Jaya Matthew. Matthew, who is currently working on her doctorate, is an intern with SMU’s Counseling and Psychiatric Services. “I cannot promise a cure, but we can begin to identify what procrastination is and outline tips and tools to help you battle procrastination,” Matthew said. Stress and late nights are settling in on campus as students and faculty have begun to prepare themselves for final exams next week, but some students on the Hilltop have already taken their finals. Questions among the audience indicated that many students were plagued by final papers and setting a side time for studying. Sophomore Elisa Gallegos attended the workshop because she is just tired of waiting until the last minute. Matthew presented the differences between procrastination and time management–procrastination involves emotional blocks, whereas time management involves scheduling blocks. She said that about 90 percent of all people procrastinate, and “avoidance is the primary indicator of procrastination that can take on some many different forms in your life.” Junior Claudia Hernandez said

procrastination has been a struggle for her since high school. “I’m always searching for ways to improve, but I’ve gotten better with time management in college,” Hernandez said. Matthew presented the ‘15 minute rule’ as a way for students to use their time management skills, breaking up a task by taking 15 minutes out of the day to get started on it so there will be less to do when they return to it. “I love the ‘15 minute rule’ because it’s a general tip to get me started on a project so that I’m not overwhelmed by the time the due date rolls around,” Hernandez said. Matthew proposed a wide array of tips for procrastinators, such as learning to make reasonable goals, understanding who you are hurting by waiting and not making the project bigger than it is. Matthew spoke of the irrational rationalizations many people use when avoiding a task. “‘I’m not in the mood right now’ is a good one,” she said. “I hear some laughter. Sound familiar?” She told the group to ask themselves if they will ever really be in the mood to tackle a large project, and whether the burden was worth carrying around all month or semester. Matthew’s driving point was to reflect on the feeling of accomplishment and relief one feels when completing a task, and not on the negativity of having to complete it. “I learned that I can overcome it, but it won’t be like tomorrow,” Gallegos said. “It’s going to take practice.”

SMU M.B.A. student Matt Vroom has launched HengeDocks L.L.C., building docking stations for unibody Apple Macbooks to be integrated into desktop and home theater systems. Visit hengedocks.com for more details.

Apple Notebook docking station receives warm welcome By BEN ATEKU

Contributing Writer bateku@smu.edu

When SMU business graduate student Matt Vroom launched his company Henge Docks, LLC, April 19, 2009, selling docking stations for MacBook computers, he did not expect to run out of the product within two weeks. Customers from all over the world have to wait until the manufacturer re-stock the shelves. “We had a very, very big launch, and were picked up by the major tech blogs. The level of orders has been multitudes greater than we expected,” Vroom said, as he monitored internet activity on his laptop during an interview at the Collins Center in

the Cox School of business. The docks are user-friendly, occupy limited space and accommodate all connecting accessories in one system. All Apple Macbook models are compatible with the docking stations, and they are designed to work with any model without additional software. They are stable and secure, and can be used for both desk-top and home theater systems, eliminating cable clutter. Vroom is the company’s designer, and Ben Maskelle, a lawyer, takes care of legal issues.

YOUTUBE: A money maker CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Boost Logic, an automotive fabrication company specializing in forced induction for high-end automobiles in Austin, Texas, Tawil witnessed a world record being broken in the passenger seat of the Supra. To his surprise, he only had about 50 or 60 followers on his YouTube account before he posted the video, but received over 6,000 views in a little over a day, he said. Tawil plans to make more videos in hopes of more success. A viewer of car videos himself, he said that the solution to a successful video of any kind is distribution. “The key to any YouTube video or new media object for that matter would all be in the distribution of it,” Tawil said. “I posted the link on about 5 different car forums, and from there I’m assuming word of mouth took off.” A sophomore at SMU, Eme Torlai doesn’t watch YouTube and was not aware that one could make money off the site because it’s free for viewing. And Torlai is not alone. According to a recent survey using Survey Monkey, about 51 percent of the 60 people who took the survey didn’t know it was possible to profit from YouTube. Torlai said that she was intrigued by how much money people like Megan can make off of videos on YouTube. “The most surprising thing is that they generate enough followers to earn so much money at such a young age,” Torlai said. “I’m actually interested now because I want to see what all the hype is about.”

three-hour course. This is $2,586 cheaper than SMU. Since he took two classes, his parents saved $5,172. For those students who are thinking about summer school, advisors recommend accumulating hours for the extra electives students might need. Other schools are cheaper for various reasons: For one, they may not be private universities. This doesn’t devalue the information one can learn, and advisors do remind their students of this. Whether a student is looking for schools in Dallas or somewhere farther like Missouri, there are requirements in order for the credits to transfer. The class needs to be at a fouryear school, unless it is an elective, which can be at a two-year school, according to Stephens. The student must earn a grade of C- or higher, no more than 15 hours may be transferred, and each course must be approved by the department’s chair. For example, if Freitag wanted to attend the University of Dallas for the summer to get a film class out of the way, he would need to fill out the “Undergraduate Petition for Advance Approval of Transfer Credit” form, listing the school and course, while attaching the course description.

For the student wondering about summer school but hoping to stay in Dallas, there are other schools to consider. According to Stephens, many students who stay in Dallas attend the University of Texas at Arlington. SMU also has “deals” for their summer school classes, when compared to the normal semester tuition prices. So while summer school on this campus may seem outrageous compared to other schools, it’s less expensive than the normal credit hour price. Relative to Rice University in Houston, SMU’s prices are in fact a more reasonable deal. Rice charges $1,186 per credit hour this upcoming summer. This is $3,558 for a threehour course and $603 more expensive than SMU. Fall 2010 for 12-18 hours, (not including student fees), comes to $16,520. Again, SMU offers $985 per credit hour in the summer, or 11,820 (12 hours) to 17,730 (18 hours). Some students, such as SMU senior psychology major Adrienne Richardson, stay at SMU for the summer for various reasons. Richardson took three courses at three credit hours each, (a total of $8,865), to catch up after transferring to SMU. Her reason for staying on campus was the convenient location. “I live by SMU so it is convenient for me and I don’t have to drive anywhere,” she said, proving that it’s not always about the money.

financial officer. Bagden said that they ran out of the product within seven days of the launch, and are focusing on meeting the demand. “We have had lots of late nights in the last few days,” he said. Vroom said that the company has received world-wide attention without paid advertising. He added that during peak traffic last Tuesday, Henge Docks was No. 55 most searched term on Google. So far, orders have come from South Africa, UK, Germany, South Korea and French Polynesia. Vroom conceived the idea for dock in 2007 while hooking an old 12-inch G4 PowerBook up to a home

theater system. He found transitioning between the desktop with an external monitor and the home theater system to watch movies to be cumbersome. Cords got tangled, connectors fell behind the desk and the audio leads constantly got plugged into the wrong ports. Swapping the computer between being on-the-go, the desktop and home theater several times a day was tedious. When everything was finally hooked up, Vroom said that the living room looked like ‘a scene from some sci-fi hell.’ He decided that there had to be a better way. He embarked on designing a product that would simplify the connecting process, as well as attain better aesthetics around the computer desk. “I always loved doing things without math.” Vroom said. “That is why I

preferred to pursue Industrial design for my masters program—It does not include the math mess. He later teamed up with Maskelle and Bagden, his former third-grade playmates, to launch Henge Docks, LLC in 2009. The name originates from the circle of large vertical stones found at Stonehenge north of Salisbury, England. In addition to ensuring there is sufficient inventory, the trio are also developing and preparing to release 15– and 17–inch docks in the near future. The company will continue to operate from Dallas, while continuing to tap into the worldwide market. Further information on the product can be found on the company’s website at www.hengedocks.com.

DALLAS MAVERICKS

Mavs seize momentum from Spurs ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — Known for nailing a motivational quote from a 19th-century social reformer to the locker room wall, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich passed on giving his players a derivative, rah-rah speech about finishing off Dallas. “They’re grown men,” he said. “They don’t need me to tell them.” The Spurs certainly got the message now. San Antonio was back home Wednesday after an uninspired showing in Game 5 in which the Mavericks crushed them 103-81 to fight off elimination. It was the most lopsided game in an otherwise thrilling series of wild point swings, tough words and hard fouls among

the Texas rivals. It also might have swung the momentum back to the Mavs. Heading into Game 6 on Thursday night in San Antonio, the Mavs abruptly went from moribund to more like the No. 2 seed favored in this series all along. If they can finally cash in on being the NBA’s best road team, they’ll send it back home for a Game 7. “They’re up 3-2, and we did it to ourselves,” Mavs center Brendan Haywood said. “Right now we have to fight and put a lot of pressure on them. If we win that game, then it becomes anybody’s series.” The Spurs are still in control, and with history on their side. Only eight teams in NBA history have rallied from a 3-1 deficit, though Mavs

2x5.5 J Hilburn

coach Rick Carlisle (Detroit, 2003) and forward Shawn Marion (Phoenix, 2006) helped pull off the feat most recently. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili have also made good on their last four chances to finish off a playoff opponent at home. The last time San Antonio let a team survive elimination at the AT&T Center was 2006 — against the Mavericks. It was a Game 7 in the memorable West semifinals, in which the Spurs couldn’t finish rallying from a 3-1 deficit on their home court. Four years and massive roster overhauls later, there’s little to take or glean from that series, other than perhaps a reminder. “We’re not dead yet,” Mavs guard Jason Terry said. “That’s the motto.” Popovich, who tore into his role players after Game 1 for “playing like dogs,” took aim at his starters after Tuesday’s lackluster showing. He called their mental approach “disappointing” with a chance to end the series on the line. The Spurs famously keep a framed quote in their locker room by 19thcentury activist Jacob Riis about a stonecutter hammering at a rock 100 times before splitting on the 101st

blow. The message is a touch more high-minded than, say, Popovich giving a cliched pep talk about ending the series. But from the start of Game 5, the Spurs looked complacent. They fell behind 17 in the first half and by the fourth quarter, Duncan was already done for the night while Popovich emptied his bench to rest his starters. “We’re upset at the way we approached the game,” Ginobili said in Dallas. “It’s something we’ll learn from. I hope that’s how we take Game 6, because we don’t want to come here for a Game 7.” Scrutiny that the Mavs endured while losing three straight — like benching Caron Butler and Marion in the second half of Game 2 — has shifted to the Spurs. Chief among the question marks are Duncan, who has drastically fallen off his monster start to the series. Duncan scored at least 25 points in the first three games but has combined for just 15 in the last two since turning 34 on Sunday. Ginobili, meanwhile, is shooting just 26 percent since breaking his nose in Game 3 while insisting that it hasn’t affected him. The Mavs dictated the tempo while San Antonio’s stars struggled, forgoing

earmarked for their survival. “It’s easy,” Marion said. “They can’t guard it.”

BASEBALL

Treanor, Wilson lead the Rangers to victory ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers were clinging to a onerun lead and C.J. Wilson had gone to a 3-0 count on the No. 8 hitter in the Chicago White Sox lineup. Then strike one, strike two and three foul balls before Donny Lucy finally swung and missed to end the sixth inning. Wilson, the former reliever turned starter, bounced off the mound and the Rangers went on to a 4-2 victory Tuesday night. “You could see the excitement on his face, he’s a competitor,” catcher Matt Treanor said. “I’m not going to give in, not just going to throw a cookie down the middle,” Wilson said. “Once I battled back to 3-2, I knew I had a chance to get him out. ... Knowing that was the tying run I would have walked in if I would have missed.” Wilson (2-1), who before this year hadn’t started since his 2005 rookie season when he was coming off Tommy John ligament replacement surgery, allowed two runs over six innings and has a 1.75 ERA this season. The left-hander struck out five and walked three. Treanor had a solo homer and a two-run double off left-hander Mark

Buehrle (2-3) for his first extra-base hits of the season. “Some of the bigger-name guys, I’ve done pretty good against them,” said Buehrle, adding he didn’t know much about Treanor before facing him. “He’s married to some volleyball player.” Buehrle allowed four runs over seven innings to lose his third straight start. The husband of two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor had his big game hours after Texas optioned Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Taylor Teagarden, the two catchers on their seasonopening roster, to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Treanor was acquired from Milwaukee during spring training. He was called up April 9 from Oklahoma City when Saltalamacchia went on the disabled list because of upper back stiffness. Treanor put Texas ahead to stay with a solo homer in the second, the ball just clearing the 14-foot wall in left field. His double made 3-0 in the fourth after Josh Hamilton and Vladimir Guerrero had consecutive singles and Buehrle threw a wild pitch. “It was awesome,” Wilson said. “He’s taking the role by the horns.”

It was the sixth start in nine games for Treanor, who played for Florida from 2004-08 and started four games for Detroit last season. Max Ramirez, recalled Tuesday from Oklahoma City, is the other Rangers catcher. The Rangers activated Saltalamacchia from the disabled list Tuesday and optioned him to Oklahoma City, where he had already appeared in six games on a rehabilitation assignment. Teagarden was hitting only .037 (1 for 27) with 17 strikeouts in 10 games. Dustin Nippert worked two scoreless innings before Frank Francisco had a perfect ninth for his first save in three chances. Francisco lost his closer job after blowing two save chances the first week of the season. Hard-throwing Neftali Feliz, who took over as the closer, was unavailable after pitching the previous two games, and giving up back-to-back homers in the ninth inning of a loss to Detroit on Monday night. “I haven’t ever lost my confidence,” Francisco said. “I know what I can do, whatever happened in the past is in the past. I’m locating my fastball better.”

Manager Ron Washington said he still considered Feliz his closer, but then added the closer is “anybody we put out there in the ninth inning.” Carlos Quentin snapped a 1-for-34 slide with an infield RBI single in the fifth for Chicago, which was coming off a three-game sweep of Seattle. After the White Sox loaded the bases in the sixth on a hit batsman, a single and a walk, Alexei Ramirez had an RBI single. Wilson then finally got Lucy out on his 104th pitch of the game. “We’ve didn’t get the big base hit we needed,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “We’ve got to execute.” NOTES: Rangers rookie first baseman Justin Smoak got his first major league RBI with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. ... Bench coach Jackie Moore’s jersey was hanging in the Rangers dugout. Moore is away from the team after the death of his 52-yearold daughter Sunday. ... Wilson had thrown 25 2-3 consecutive scoreless innings at Rangers Ballpark, dating back to last July 21, before the fourth inning. ... White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko had homered in three straight games before Tuesday.

The Daily Campus

They know to take some time each day to consider the world STAFF COLUMNIST

ometimes, I envy smokers. No, seriously. I know that sounds bad, but just hear me out! Here we all are, on this college campus together. Maybe you’ve got a lot of friends, or maybe you’re more of a Trey Treviño loner. Maybe you like to go out every night and party it up, or maybe you’d rather get some sleep. Heck, maybe you’re into studying really hard, or maybe you’re a slacker (pardon the use of language). I’m sure there’s at least one student on this campus that falls into each of these categories and I bet there’s a lot more, because we are all different, and we all have our own subtleties and quirks and traits that make us unique human beings who are relevant in some way. In fact, part of the vaunted “College Experience” is discovering what that relevance is: finding our niche in life, figuring out our calling—whatever it may be. But while we are busy “finding ourselves,” we may get too caught up in it all. And when I

say it all, I mean it all: classes, papers, projects, student organizations, meals, friends, work-study, internships, interviews, drugs (ignore that last one). Essentially, we all have a lot to do, ‘cause that’s college, folks. From what I’ve heard, it (allegedly) isn’t nearly as bad as the real world—what with work, bills, gas, home improvement, family (if you’re planning on one), etc.—but it’s still hard. So hard, in fact, that someday you might realize that you have been busy every second of every day for the last three weeks and you haven’t had a moment to yourself since before you arrived on campus. And you may find yourself wishing that you could find some time, but… but… there’s just too much to do! And then you continue about your busy, busy day. But just as you have that realization, you walk outside and you see it: some guy or girl sitting on a bench, taking in the sunlight whilst he or she simultaneously takes in a mouthful of nicotine and tar in gaseous form. Yes, you just saw a smoker. You’ve probably seen them a million times before, but this time, you realize something: because of their addiction,

smokers are forced to take a break from it all and relax. It’s great, because it’s habitual as well. They have to find a designated time once or twice a day (heck, probably more) when they can sit back and take in the world, admire their surroundings, appreciate the little things—maybe even watch the sun set. Not that I want to actually start smoking; I don’t have to smoke cigarettes to watch the sun go down. I do find it reassuring, though, that these people get their designated “take it slow” time, mostly because they have no choice, and they appear to be balancing their schedules just fine. So maybe I can too. In fact, maybe we all can. At a time like this, no one could state it better than the bard of teen angst, John Hughes, in one of his greatest hits, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off ”: “Life moves pretty fast; if you don’t stop and look around once and a while, you could miss it.” Trey Treviño is a sophomore CTV major.

Back to the Future

Goodbye, Daily Campus Looking back at three semesters at the paper

Looking at the past year

OPINION EDITOR

This year started in a haze. We were beginning a football season with zero spirit, having just come out of a season with only one win, and we had little hope for a better season. June Jones seemed like a movie that just didn’t live up to the hype and our student body showed little spirit at the first few games. Then we noticed a pattern. Our record had taken a sharp turn for the better and we soared into our first bowl game in over two decades. Talk about a blockbuster of a season. Our football spirit is now on a high, and hopefully that spirit won’t be set for a decline any time soon. Last semester also marked something more sinister: swine flu. At first we laughed (we mean, it was called swine flu), and many of us neglected to be vaccinated because we thought it was all hype. And to an extent, it was. That ‘hype’ didn’t save SMU from almost being brought down with the disease. Maybe when next years new strain of the flu rolls around we’ll be better prepared. Senate has also seen its most heated debates in recent memory. The proposed LGBT seat stirred controversy that enveloped the entire student body. It may be difficult to recall an event that stirred this much discussion. While this bill ultimately failed, Senate has achieved great things this year. They won the battle to have our diplomas ready by the time we walk across the stage, passed legislation that would make it mandatory for teachers to utilize Blackboard, and maybe most notably, they passed legislation recognizing Peruna as our official mascot. While SMU will always be grateful for the gift of the two mustangs from Mrs. Pickens, we also feel a great deal of pride for Senators Torres, Benage, and Ehmke who authored the courageous piece of legislation that made it known that our tiny mascot will always be the biggest name on campus. This time of year marks the turnover from this year’s student body officers to next year’s student body officers. Although Patrick Kobler may have ruffled a few feathers along the way, he has certainly proven his dedication to the school. His passion to make SMU a better place was contagious, and we hope that the next round of student body officers will be able to continue that fervor. This year brought with it many disappointments, such as the serial flasher that plagued campus during last semester before he was finally apprehended by SMUPD (no, we are not kidding), the police shut down of the Code Red Concert, and the surprising clean out of the Lambda Chi fraternity by their national office. Not to mention several Daily Campus investigations into the athletic department budget, Student Senate voting and the Board of Trustees. We still feel like those disappointments do not overshadow the long list of successes that SMU has attained during the 2009-2010 year. We have opened a host of new buildings, begun a successful relationship with the Bush Institute that has taken the form of conferences, awards, and meet and greets, our swim team has taken home their fifth straight conference title, a new General Education Curriculum has been created, and the list goes on. We have much to be thankful for at SMU, and we are looking forward to another successful year. Have a good summer and pony up, SMU!

he semester’s coming to a close, and so is my time as opinion editor for The Daily Campus. After three semesters, I’m going to take a break and try to keep my opinions to myself. In my time at The Daily Campus, I’ve been privileged to work with a number of remarkable journalists. Nathaniel French To Nicole Jacobsen and Meredith Shamburger, the two editors-inchief during my time here who’ve steered the paper in new directions, to the staff writers who submit pieces once a week and make this paper possible, to the guest columnists and letter writers who’ve livened our conversation, to the other talented editors who’ve done a much better job than I ever could have with their pages, to the staff of Student Media Company and to everyone who has ever picked up a copy of The Daily Campus, I say thanks. I’ve learned far more from all of you than I ever would have imagined. I look forward to next semester, when I can sit back at lunch and see what The Daily Campus has to offer each day. I’m sure Jessica Huseman, the newly-appointed editor-inchief, and the staff she assembles will give me plenty of things to think about. Thank you all again; it’s been an honor.

Three steps back for women’s dignity Gwen Florio

The Philadelphia Inquirer MCT Campus

verything was going so well. We had Michelle Obama striding around the White House, flashing those Smith & Wesson arms at visiting heads of state. Tiger Woods and Rep. Tickle-Me-Eric Massa each made his solitary mea culpa without a tremble-chinned wife by his side. Thank you, Jenny Sanford, for forever banishing that hideous scenario. And Kathryn Bigelow cradled the Oscar that made her the first female director ever to snag best picture. Extra credit because “The Hurt Locker” was about that most testosterone-soaked subject, war—and because she bested her ex in the category to boot. Oh, we women were strutting our ovarian stuff. Good times, good times. Too bad they lasted only about a minute Like a series of tectonic shifts beneath the gender faults, the last few weeks have brought us the 1-2-3 unnatural disasters of JihadJane, Rielle Hunter, and the women of the Montana State Prison, all of whom seem to be determined to prove that there is no limit to how deeply a woman will debase herself in pursuit of, sigh, a man. So it’s an old story. We just wish it were a little farther in the rearview mirror. Because something about each of these cases feels really retro. Colleen LaRose put a weird, midlife twist on the stereotype of the sixth-grade girl stuffing her bra with Kleenex in hopes boys will notice her. Except LaRose stuffed her hair under a hijab and

sashayed onto the Internet as JihadJane. But she seemed more intent upon domestic bliss than domestic terrorism, the founder of My Pet Jawa told the New York Times. She used his site and others almost as a dating service, he said, “like she was looking for a soul mate.” When it comes to wannabe brides, though, Hunter takes the cake, wrapping herself in wedding-gown white—white sheets, white pearls, white shirt, even (look away! look away!) the teeniest glimpse of white panties—for a GQ spread in which she waxed all big-eyed and dewy about her profound relationship with the married John Edwards, who impregnated her and then paid a friend megabucks to claim paternity. And how did this tender tale of romance begin? Candlelight and roses? Long walks on a moonlit beach? No, she told GQ, it went this way: She met him. Told him, “You’re so hot.” Went to bed with him—all on the same day. Not even professional baseball players can clear bases that fast. As for the women of the Montana State Prison? Forget those cheesy movie scenarios of “Babes Behind Bars.” These babes were on the right side of the bars, as guards, staffers, even a therapist—in other words, Women With Options. So whom did they opt for? Yep, you got it. Prisoner Michael Murphy, doing time for theft and forgery, apparently forged intimate relationships with at least five Montana Corrections Department employees. As the therapist said, according to an internal report obtained by the Associated Press: “He kissed me one day in my office and I just thought, ‘What the f--- did I just do, what just

happened?’ From that point on I just, I felt like I couldn’t do anything, I couldn’t say no to him, I couldn’t get myself out of it.” What the eff, indeed. This is the point where we scream. (Hold on a minute. Still screaming.) Deep breath. OK. “I couldn’t say no to him.” Let’s dial up a training film of sorts, one chockfull of advice for women in these situations. We’re talking, of course, about “Bull Durham,” in which Annie Savoy sternly lectures pretty, blond and very, very friendly Millie about her dugout romp with new pitcher “Nuke” LaLoosh. “I was lured,” Millie pouted. Prettily, of course. “You didn’t get lured,” Annie shot back. “Women never get lured. They’re too strong and powerful for that. Now say it—‘I didn’t get lured, and I will take responsibility for my actions.’” Ahem. Ladies, are you listening? If a guy wants you to attack your countrymen, be his baby mama without being his bride, or go all Monica Lewinsky on him behind bars, do not be lured. Pump some iron. Walk away. Kick some ex-husband butt. Take some responsibility. And never, never look in the rearview mirror. Because you might see Michael Murphy, who’s been transferred to a different Montana facility— where he’s been implicated in the case of a (duh) female food worker smuggling contraband. And then you’ll just start screaming all over again.

California county bans plastic toys in fast food meals By HALLE ORGAN and MARISSA O’CONNOR Health & Fitness Editors horgan@smu.edu, moconnor@smu.edu

If you’re still holding on to those plastic happy meal toys from your youth, don’t let go too fast– they may become vintage collectors’ items. Children of future generations may not have toy chests overflowing with plastic toys from their favorite chicken-nugget meals, or collections of superhero figurines representing each combo meal they got at the drive-thru. On Tuesday a new law was introduced in Santa Clara County, Calif., banning fast-food restaurants from offering toys with their unhealthy meals. Meals with more than 485 calories or 600mg of salt will not be allowed to contain a toy. Those with more than 35 percent of their calories from fat or 10 percent from added sweeteners must also be toy-free.

Santa Clara officials reason that children should not be rewarded for their unhealthy behaviors. This legislation is their way of reducing the current trend of childhood obesity. Restaurants that choose to sneak incentives into their happy meals could face great punishment.

The legislation won’t affect all of us – at least not yet. It currently is only intended to apply to restaurants in Santa Clara County. Will it spill over to other areas though? It would seem to be a good possibility.

For every meal the restaurant sells with a toy in it, the restaurant will be fined up to $1,000. The legislation won’t affect all of us – at least not yet. It currently is only intended to apply to restaurants in Santa Clara County. Will it spill over to other areas though? It would seem to be a good possibility. Two years ago, Silicon Valley was one of the first areas to initiate a law demanding that nutrition facts be displayed on menu boards. If you have been to New York City lately, you have surely noticed that all chains display nutrition facts on their menus. Obama, too, touches on this idea in the new health care bill. The bill mandates that all restaurants with 20 or more locations must display their nutrition on menus, drive-thru displays and menu boards. The ban on happy meal incentives will not kick-in just yet. Restaurants have 90 days to adjust their menu options and make some changes.

Those happy meal toys may not be available for much longer.
