A SIDE OF NEWS

Man arrested for incest An 80-year-old Austrian man was arrested for allegedly imprisoning and sexually abusing his two daughters, ages 53 and 45. The case came to light in May after the daughters escaped following a physical altercation with the father. According to the police, the women have “mental decencies.” This is the second major incest and imprisonment case in Austria in recent years. In 2009, Josef Fritzl was sentenced to life in jail after imprisoning and enslaving his daughter and their seven children.

Mustangs aim for Big 12, BCS

‘Fryguy’ issued criminal trespass warning

By E’LYN TAYLOR Sports Editor ejtaylor@smu.edu

SMU athletics met with The Dallas Morning News earlier this week to discuss its desire to rejoin a big-time conference. In a phone interview with SMU President, R. Gerald Turner, he said that SMU has not applied for an appeal to join another conference, but his meeting with The Dallas Morning News executive board was to simply talk about SMU’s “conference realignment.” “I felt that it was important that the city of Dallas know that there was a opportunity for an AQ school to be in Dallas,” Turner said. “AQ school” is a BCS conference terminology known as a automatic qualifier for one of the six (ACC, BIG10, BIG12, BIG EAST, PAC10, & SEC) American college athletic conferences. President Turner added that SMU athletics were not only looking at the Big 12 as a

prospective conference, but added that they were possibly looking at the Big East and possibly staying with Conference USA (C-USA) if they plan on joining another conference that can get a unified AQ status. President Turner also said that Dallas should have an input on SMU’s conference realignment since SMU and Dallas colleges and universities have produced over thousands of graduates. With the opportunity to play local games with AQ schools President Turner says that SMU will bring in a bigger crowd which could have a economic impact on Dallas. “I have said on many of occasions that we [SMU] want to be your favorite number two,” Turner said. Turner also added that SMU have not heard from the BCS or other conferences and he is uncertain on what the Big 12 will decide, but it’s a opportunity along with the other conferences.

Junior quarterback Kyle Padron prepares to make a pass during play against TCU Sept. 24, 2010.

SMU issued a criminal trespass warning for Eric Tacker, commonly known on campus as ‘SMU Fryguy,” on Aug. 22. “The university received complaints that he repeatedly attended campus events to which he was not invited,” according to a statement from SMU. Tacker is an employee of Aramark, acampus vendor. He works in Mac’s place, which is located on the first floor of McElvaney dorm. Aramark has been contacted but cannot comment at this time.

RESEARCH

Study shows science careers, families difficult to balance By PATRICIA BOH

Associate News Editor pbohr@smu.edu

Many American scientists seem to have it all: a fulfilling career, professional recognition and financial security. They should be completely satisfied with their lives—right? Not necessarily. In a study called “Scientists Want More Children,” sociologists Elaine Howard Ecklund of Rice University and Anne Lincoln of Southern Methodist University found differently. The study shows that 25 percent of American scientists are dissatisfied because of the difficulties surrounding balancing a career and family life. Several SMU science professors agreed with this notion.

“Throughout your career, you’re expected to produce and to be a one-man show,” John Buynak, an SMU chemistry faculty member, said. “Teaching, research, writing papers, labs [and] proposals . . . it’s underestimated just how much all that will require. It could be endless. It could consume your whole life.” Buynak believes that in order to balance a science career and a fulfilling family life, “you have to make time.” Steven Vik, biological sciences faculty member, said, “as a scientist, one often encounters these kind of difficulties when you are working in your lab.” “Experiments tend to take much longer than expected,” Vik said. “It’s not something you can count on, how long things will take.”

As you build a family, there’s lot more things you should be doing than just your science [work].” For Chemistry faculty member Patty Wisian-Neilson, balancing her career and personal life is somewhat less challenging because her spouse is also an academic chemist. “We fully understand each other’s career challenges,” Wisian-Neilson said.. “The biggest challenge was finding two positions in the same geographic area.” Many SMU students majoring in science-related fields identify with these difficulties. “For me, when I was deciding to go pre-med, I went back [and] forth a lot because I want to have kids,” Sarah Whitaker, junior premed student, said. Whitaker also believes that professionals with “high stress

and long hour kind of jobs” need to achieve a “ratio” between their career and family life. Sophomore biomedical engineering student Scarlet Gray worked for a year at the Biomedical Research Institute. Gray personally agrees with the study’s results. “In the lab, the hours are so strange. Because of the experiments, you can be there all weekend, for 24 [straight] hours or leave but have to come back,” Gray said. “It’s not a workday schedule. It’s kind of a neverending job.” “As of right now, it’s difficult [to be a science student] but doable,” Karin Kuusito, sophomore premed student, said. ”In the future I worry about whether or not I’ll have a life at all or just study all day. How much more can I study?”

‘Team BlackBerry SMU’ fights back By STEPHANIE BROWN Contributing Writer stephanieb@smu.edu

The underdog is taking a stand. As the ever-dominant conglomerate, Apple continues to infiltrate college campuses nationwide with the iPhone. BlackBerry has decided to fight back. And it’s calling all BlackBerry users at SMU. If that hasn’t caught your attention yet, here’s a final attempt — there is now a new software upgrade that offers the latest version of BBM. That’s right, a new version of BlackBerry Messenger was pushed to all current BlackBerries to install and upgrade. Not only is there a new BBM option, BlackBerry recently released the newest version of their operating system, along with multiple brand new devices. The operating system now offers new services, such as word processor and other tools that could help college students multitask in a more proficient manner while on the go. Some of the new devices offer a touchscreen option in addition to the individual keys as well. While this may sound great, what if you don’t like the upgrades or don’t really understand how to use all of the new functions? Team BlackBerry SMU has your answer.

Block Party kicks off spirit week on campus By CAITIE SHAUGHNESSY Contributing Writer cshaughnes@smu.edu

A group of eight students created Team BlackBerry SMU to promote the relevance of the BlackBerry. The group debuted on Thursday.

This new group on campus made its debut at SMU Thursday at a table on the west bridge near Hughes-Trigg Student Center. The team, comprised of eight SMU students, is similar to the Mac User Group on campus, but is geared toward BlackBerry users instead. “BlackBerry is relevant,” Connor Sherline, junior and member of Team BlackBerry SMU said. “It’s not a dying breed and that’s what we’re trying to remind people.” Team BlackBerry SMU will endure the heat to

The study also explained that many leave the sciences or decide against going into the field because of the strain on ones personal life. Sophomore Richard Braxton recently dropped his chemistry major despite having worked for two summers at Drexel University. Although Braxton enjoyed the “friendly” environment of the labs and the “interesting things to see,” he grew tired of the lifestyle restrictions. “It’s very taxing on the social life because your experiment usually determines what you’ll be doing year-round . . . Research involves wading into dark waters, and sometimes things go wrong just ‘because,’” Braxton said. “It can be anger inducing and stressful, and the time constraints don’t help relationships.”

answer students’ questions, BlackBerry users or not, in order to promote awareness of the cell phone’s new features. They are tapping into social media by establishing a Foursquare check-in location at their desk, along with offering free paraphernalia when someone tweets #TeamBlackBerry or @ BlackBerry. The ongoing battle between the iPhone and the BlackBerry continues, so let the software continue to upgrade.

Friday at 6:30 p.m. Program Council, Interfraternity Council (IFC) and the Athletics Department will present Block Party on the Boulevard. This event hopes to unify the campus, celebrate a new school year and wish the football team a victorious season. Those attending will receive a free barbecue dinner and giveaways from Muscle Milk, Vera Bradley and Newegg.com. There will also be plenty of entertainment, including a DJ, the Mustang Band, the cheer and pom squads, an appearance from Peruna and a mechanical bull. At approximately 8 p.m., football coach June Jones will give a few words, followed by a performance from artist Brad Cooper. Program Council’s vice president of programming, Jonathan Machemehl, said the event will be unlike any other Program Council has hosted in the past. Machemehl hopes the Block Party will become an annual event on SMU’s campus. Elise McDonald, Program Council president, wants students to come to the Block Party and get “fired up” about

the upcoming football season and centennial celebrations. Overall, McDonald said Program Council’s primary goal was to create an event that the entire SMU student body would enjoy. “I think I speak for everyone in PC, IFC and athletics when I say that we are most excited about Block Party on the Boulevard being a unifying event for the entire campus,” McDonald said. Program Council began planning the event in May. Throughout the summer, Program Council, IFC and the Athletics Department worked to ensure that an event of this size would be feasible early in the school year. They also worked to ensure that no details would be forgotten, including refreshments — Program Council will have over 750 water bottles at the event — and shady areas to combat the sun.

Who Caught Our Eye Coach of the Week By ERICA PENUNURI

Fan of the Week

Sports Editor ejtaylor@smu.edu

Associate Sports Editor epenunuri@smu.edu

Used to coaching as many as eight cheer squads at a time, Brandy McCollum, new SMU Spirit Coordinator and Head Red Squad Cheer Coach, will be taking on one focus: SMU Cheer. Originally from Midlothian, Texas she has migrated from Oklahoma for cheer and has now returned to SMU. SPENCER J EGGERS/The Daily Campus Overall, McCollum would like to increase school spirit and gain more attendance from students at games. She plans to use signs to increase enthusiasm and interests in audiences along with her squad. She recognizes the previous year’s achievement of second place in nationals was impressive and would like to take it all the way. However, the most important thing for her is for her squad to continue to grow this season. By placing more individual attention on her squad, she plans to become more involved in their lives and help them leave a lasting impression here at SMU. Q. If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? A. Oh, well, I would be a fox. I think that fits my personality best...nit picky, thorough, and cautious. Q. What super power would you want? A. [Laughs], probably time manipulation. That way I could go back and manipulate things if needed or alter things to be certain ways in the future. Q. If you could have dinner with any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be? A. Dinner with a famous person would have to be Rosa Parks.

Senior Patrick Probst, originally from St. Louis, Missouri has been chosen for this week’s SMU fan of the week. Whenever he isn’t hitting the pre-med books, or hitting the right notes in SMU A capella Southern Gentlemen group, he is bleeding red and blue for his soon to be Alma Mater. Probst is more than deserving of this SIDNEY HOLLINGSWORTH title for a few reasons. First, his attendance in nearly ever game consists of a variety of sports: men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, and finally SMU football. Whether the Mustangs are up on the scoreboard or down, rest assured Probst is still cheering until the sound of the buzzer. His Pony-Up pride stems from the SMU athletic tradition. He loves being a part of it and wishes to help return to SMU those periods of success and celebration. Probst recalls his favorite Mustang Moment: “ It was my sophomore year. We were playing UTEP at home and if we won the game we would be bowl eligible for only the second time in the past 25 years. We sacked the UTEP quarterback to end the game and all of the students rushed the field. To be part of that experience was incredible and I hope to participate in moments like that again this year.” Q. Whataburger or In-N-Out? A. In-N-Out Q. Would you rather be a vampire or a werewolf ? A. I’m not a fan of Twilight so I don’t know the perks of being either. I’d probably go with vampire though.

MEN’S SOCCER

Mustangs kick off new season By ERICA PENUNURI Associate Sports Editor epenunuri@smu.edu

Expectations are set high for the SMU men’s soccer team this season and are looking forward to meeting them -- and perhaps exceeding them. “We get a chance to play William and Mary who we played in the NCAA tournament, so we know they are a great team and they play great soccer,” Head Coach Tim McClements said. “We are really looking forward to it.” Last year the Mustangs finished with an impressive 16-2-2 record. They were only a penalty kick away from advancing to the 2010 Men’s College Cup. They fell to University of North Carolina in the Elite Eight to PK’s after a long and relentless match. Previously to the UNC match, Mustangs met with WIlliam and Mary last year in the Sweet Sixteen NCAA round and defeated the Tribe 1-0. Today, the Mustangs stand as the preseason pick to repeat as regular-season champions in Conference USA. The befitting pick may have something to do with the impressive line-up. The Mustangs have five out of the six top-scorers returning this season including; Senior Arthur Ivo, league’s preseason player of the year and sophomore Juan Castillo, Conference USA Freshman of the Year 2010. Together, Ivo and Castillo posted 20 goals and nine assists last season. Seniors Diogo de Almeida, Ian Kalis and captain Adam Still have proved themselves last season and return this season to lock up the defense. The schedule is loaded and consists of nine of the 18 teams

being NCAA Tournament teams. The first four matches include high-standing teams such as Duke, Oakland, NC State and Washington. With all of this fire-ammo, how will the new players take on the heat? Coach McClements is confident on both flanks of his team. “We have an incredible conference schedule this season… it’s going to be a tall order,” Coach McClements said. “I mean they are young but good. We have incredible senior and junior leadership. That is the most important part.” Within the past two seasons, SMU has pulled five Gatorade players of the year, two of the five being freshmen this season; Aaron Simmons (Texas) and Will Smith (Oklahoma). Senior Arthur Ivo believes these young talents are good for the present and future of SMU men’s soccer. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a senior or a freshman. It’s how individually good you are,” Ivo said. “I also think it’s good for the future of our program. We have young guys who are playing, starting, and getting minutes. It

will get stronger from now into the future.” As for sophomore Juan Castillo, taking on the heavy-packed season early on is just another form of preparation. “I’d rather have it like that to be honest because once you get to NCAA tournament, which is what we want to do, these are the type of teams you face,” Castillo said. “I’m looking forward to it.” It’s the first game of the season and the Mustangs plan to take it head-on. “The first game you always want to start off strong,” defender senior Captain Adam Still said. “I feel like we are well-rested for this game compared to the last two games.” With a forceful offense, and a solid defense led by captain Adam Still, and a string of both experienced and hungry players; what else could the Mustangs possibly need to stampede onto the fields victoriously? “Come support us, we need you!” Castillo said. Join the stampede at Wescott Field at 7 p.m., Saturday to help support the No. 5 Mustangs take on No. 13 William and Mary.

Athlete of the Week Leading the lady mustangs with 18 kills and 27 digs in a match against Marshall last season not only put SMU volleynall player Dana Powell sixth in the 1,000/1,000 kills SMU volleyball club but the first athlete in our weekly edition of “Who Caught Our Eye.” Tulsa, Oklahoma native, Dana TAYLOR HENRYS/The Daily Campus Powell talked to The Daily Campus sports about her record breaking year at SMU and what she expects for her upcoming season. For Senior Dana Powell, her last year here is a bittersweet part of her career. She’s confident in what she has accomplished and is comfortable with the talented hands she’s left it in. “I know they’re going to do awesome because we have awesome recruits coming in,” Powell said. Overall, she and her seniors want to leave a lasting impact. Powell’s last season was her favorite. They posted an impressive 25-6. Q. How do you prepare for games? A. I really don’t have a ritual, I just listen to music and get mentally focused. Q. How do you feel your season will be this year? A. Well we never been to NCA so we’re all ready to win conference and get that ring. Q. Dream job? A. Advertising for ESPN

GAME: Athletics eye new conference CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“We wanted to call attention to the fact that with all of the uncertainty about conference membership, that there might be a opportunity for SMU to achieve AQ status,” Turner said. SMU Director of Athletics, Steve Orsini also said that SMU feels that they have rebuilt themselves from the death penalty by hiring national coach June Jones, winning a conference championship, and winning two bowl games and he expects the football team to win another one this year. “We have all the attributes

that will qualify us as a BCS school, now we have to sell the attributes,” Orsini said With 80 million dollars to spend on expanding Ford Stadium and renovating Moody Colosseum, Orsini said that SMU has already designed to expand the capacity to hold potential Aggie and Longhorn fans. “In the next three to four years we anticipate SMU football to be in the competitive stage with the help of June Jones,” he said. Orsini said that he has full respect for Conference USA, but since they are not a AQ

conference member, it is hard for SMU athletes to perform to its fullest potential. “Good athletes like to play with good athletes, to show how good they are,” Orsini said. Orsini added that before Coach Jones came to SMU, the football team had a 1-11 record and was 119 out of 120 in the football bowl subdivision, now entering in Coach Jones fourth year, he has brought SMU from 119 to 34 in the football bowl subdivision. “If TCU can do it, we can do it.”

OPINION

First-year offers advice for fellow classmates A strong-willed, able-bodied, sharp-minded woman--my mother--once gave me this piece of advice; that “when life gives you the opportunity to stand in the corner, or go out on the floor and dance, I hope that you always choose to dance.” Transition is hard. Whether it’s from the east coast to west coast, or even just 2 percent to skim Cody Barras milk, change can be as stressful and trying as it is exciting. College is no exception. As much as freshmen try to deny it, this isn’t high school any more, and it certainly isn’t all fun and games. Sure, we still go to class, take notes, waste time on Facebook and stay up later than we probably should, but the fact is, we aren’t in the same environment facing the same challenges we were a month ago. It’s intimidating. The adjustment from being big-fish high school seniors to being the new guy getting lost for 40 minutes on his way to the Dedman Center isn’t an easy one. No one likes to be at the bottom, but we have to start somewhere. For me, the hardest part of the change has been getting to know new people. We’ve been thrust into a whole new environment with an entirely new cast of characters in our lives, and it isn’t exactly a cake walk. How do you start such an important task from scratch, and how do you know where to even look? Maybe it’s different where you’re from, but I’ve met very few people who form life-long friendships by stopping random people on the street and inviting them to dinner. More likely, that’s a way to get yourself some awkward stares and a referral to the Health Center. That’s where my mom’s advice comes in. The truth is, people don’t bond because of random chance, they do so because of common interest. It could be as simple as living on the same hall, or as obscure as sharing an obsession with ABBA. Whatever it is, find a place where you can connect with people who have the same hobbies or views that you do. Maybe you stick with what you were good at in high school, and become a part of the championship intramural basketball team. Maybe you try something you’ve never even dreamed of before, and discover just how much you love western dance. The possibilities are limitless, and our campus is filled with literally hundreds of organizations, each one eager for new talent and new friends. The advice that my mother gave me is the same wish that I have for the class of 2015. To stay true to yourself, but embrace change and try something new. Meet new people, share new ideas, and always choose to stand up, get on the floor, and dance the College Shuffle. CONTRIBUTOR

It feels like every time we hear the word Congress in the news lately it always appears adjacent to the words “fails to act” or Brandon Bub “blocks bill,” so it’s always noteworthy when something does actually get accomplished. Late last month the House Judiciary Committee approved a bill that will soon be debated on the House floor called the “Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act.” With a name like that, I can’t imagine many people are going to come out in strong opposition to the bill (well, maybe Anthony Weiner, but that’s a different story). Prosecutions relating to child pornography have actually increased dramatically over the past few years, and it’s pretty safe to say that protecting our kids from these abhorrent internet pornographers is a reasonable goal to strive for. But what exactly does the bill OPINION EDITOR

entail? According to NPR News, “the bill requires all Internet service providers to save their customers’ IP addresses-or online identity numbers-for a year.” That might not sound like a big deal, but as written the bill would allow the government to access a person’s internet history even if that person isn’t under investigation for child pornography related crimes. In fact, a person can be suspected of nearly any crime for law enforcement to be able to search a person’s computer, and the police don’t need probable cause to do it. As someone who’s read his Orwell, I have to say I’m a little bit frightened about delegating this much power to law enforcement, especially when the provisions of the bill seem superfluous when it comes to actually achieving their purpose. Gregory Nojeim, senior counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology, told NPR that police already have the power to tell an ISP to save its records for 90 days, but only for a particular suspect and not for all internet users. For laws like this, there’s

always the argument that “if you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.” However, just like the Patriot Act passed during the Bush administration (a law that President Obama has not been afraid to renew up to this point to the chagrin of many of his supporters), I fear what such a bill will mean for basic civil liberties. Privacy has certainly become a contentious topic in recent years: text message histories, facebook correspondence, and internet histories can certainly reveal some incriminating things about someone’s personal life. Some might say that if we’re going to choose to live in this digital age then privacy ought to go extinct along with dial-up internet connections, but I’m just not sure I agree. People value their privacy; if they didn’t, there wouldn’t be such an uproar every time facebook updates its policies making it easier for people to access its users’ personal information. If we’re going to give the government this much power, where exactly are we going to

stop? Jeff Fischbach, a forensic technologist whom prosecutors in child pornography cases often consult to get evidence, says that he doesn’t find “that there’s a general lack of evidence in these cases,” so why exactly do we need to delegate this kind of power to the government in the first place? The law has yet to be debated by the full House of Representatives, and it’s certainly possible that the amendment process might allow members of Congress to limit the scope of the bill, but if the law is passed I’m afraid this might set a dangerous precedent for allowing the government in our living room. Stopping child pornographers ought to be a high priority for the justice department, but the administration already has the power it needs to do this. We don’t need the invasion of privacy to go along with it. Brandon Bub is a sophomore majoring in English and edits The Daily Campus opinion column. He can be reached for comment at bbub@ smu.edu

Keep off the grass? Maybe not As an engineer, my every action is plagued by thoughts of inefficiency. What some may think of as Christian Genco thirty seconds in waiting for their computer to start up, I see as two days of wasted life. This is why I walk on grass. Let me explain: a corollary of the Pythagorean Theorem is that the sum of the two legs of a right triangle will always be less than the hypotenuse. That is, the shortest distance between two points is always a straight line. The paved walkways cutting across the lush Dallas Hall lawn, however, very seldom line up with CONTRIBUTOR

the direct path to my destination. Take the example of walking from Virginia Snider to the Fondren Science building (a path I estimate to travel about 2,500 times before graduation). Keeping on the paths, you’ll walk (according to Google Earth) 0.27 miles. Walking straight from Virginia Snider to Fondren, however, and you’ll save 0.07 miles. Doesn’t sound like very much, right? But now multiply by the 2,500 times I’ll walk this path: that’s an extra 175 miles! Divide that by the average human walking speed of 2.5 mph and you get 70 hours! 70 hours of wasted life! Do you know what I could do in 70 hours?! I could drive to Las Angeles, California, go through an 8 hour certification course for skydiving, hop on a plane to Tokyo,

Japan, skydive into a Buddhist temple, break the Guinness World Record for “Longest Wheelchair Push,” and I’d still have time left over to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2. And that’s just walking between VS and Fondren 5 days a week! Let’s be optimistic and say that your daily walking inefficiency is twice that of the aforementioned path. That’s 140 wasted hours per student per 8 semesters. Now multiply by 11,000 graduate and undergraduate students. 175 YEARS of wasted human time. Taking into account that humans are only awake about 2/3rds of their lives, this translates to (at an average 1st world lifespan of 80 years) 3.3 complete human lives, or just under 1 human life per graduating class.

The concept isn’t new; it’s called a “desire path.” Wikipedia defines it as “a path...[that] represents the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination...Desire paths can usually be found as shortcuts where constructed pathways take a circuitous route.” Circuitous route indeed. 175 years more circuitous than following your own desire path. I can already predict that the opponents to my grass-walking lifestyle will criticize damaging SMU’s pristine grass in Summer droughts. To them, I say: don’t think of it as killing grass, think of it as saving lives. Christian Genco is a junior majoring in computer science. He can be reached for comment at cgenco@smu.edu

Student gives take on corruption India for all its progress is still beset by deep-lying issues. A nation that can take great pride in its heritage, diversity and Akbar Iqbal traditions has now fallen prey to poor governance primarily caused by corruption and a sheer lack of empathy on the part of government officials. Those who lead the world’s largest democracy often blatantly ignore the rights of those they serve for their own benefit. Bribery and palm-greasing has become the norm, or perhaps more accurately, a way of life. While the pockets of a few bulge, democracy as a whole is decaying. All hope for change is not lost of course. While those who constitute India’s lower and middle classes have grown weary of the way the country is run, a sincere leader who is truly able to channel their pain and frustration in a meaningful way could finally inspire great social change. CONTRIBUTOR

Some believe they have received just this in the form of Anna Hazare, a former soldier in the Indian army and social activist whose record as a vehicle for change at a local and state level is very commendable. Hazare has now set his sights firmly on ridding the nation of corruption. In the process he has garnered the attention of the central government and become the news media’s main focus. While both of those are vital ingredients for a movement such as his to be successful, serious concerns have arisen over his means and ultimate goal. While the actual outcome he preaches for may be creditable and noteworthy, Hazare’s actions leave a lot to be desired. His supporters -which include a few well-respected individuals and largely those from the middle class -- have not shied away from making unfounded comparisons of their leader’s philosophies to those of Mahatma Gandhi. He has even undertaken more than one fast-unto-death just as Gandhi had as a mark of civil disobedience. While they seem to believe it is very democratic for him to either get his way or commit

suicide, one seriously doubts if Gandhi would have ever done the same where a democracy existed. Another concern many have regarding his movement is the composition of the crowds he draws. It is quite possible that they are largely comprised of members of right wing political parties that are trying to stir up more trouble for the central government. While the crowds have remained peaceful in nature so far, one cannot help but fear the situation might take an ugly turn. This would create a great problem for India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who while being an honorable and intelligent man has shown enough signs of being a hapless and indecisive leader. Of course, that is not to say that Hazare is a great catch and golden egg amongst leaders. Despite being evidently street smart and savvy, he is poorly educated and cannot read or write in English, the very language the bill he promotes so vehemently has been drafted in. However, the glaring problem with Hazare’s plans is that the Lokpal Institute will be susceptible to weak or corrupt leaders. India

CARTOON

has shown a tendency to let good initiatives decay over time. Nobody can truly say the evil Lokpal plans to abolish will not eventually seep in to ruin it from the inside and turn it into yet another money making operation. While it is all well and good for Hazare to behave like an anticorruption crusader, it is important not to forget that India’s economy has not grown the way it has by consisting of naive and gullible citizens. People can easily pick out the holes in Hazare’s plans and ideals. However, what he does have on his side are the lower and middleclasses who have been oppressed for decades. They harbour strong feelings of resentment towards the country’s administrators for having done nothing but fail them repetitively with false promises and the kind exploitation that they often haven’t even cared to be subtle with.

SUMMER MOVIE MOVIE SUPERLATIVES SUPERLATIVES SUMMER

AWARDING AWARDING THIS THIS SUMMER’S SUMMER’S STELLAR STELLAR LINE-UP LINE-UP OF OF FILMS FILMS BEST ACTION MOVIE

By CHASE WADE & NATALIE BLAKENSHIP A&E Editors cdwade@smu.edu & nblakensh@smu.edu

BEST ROM-COM

CRAZY STUPID LOVE

Starring Steve Carrell and Julianne Moore, “Crazy Stupid Love” takes the title for best romantic comedy by a landslide. Separating itself from other summer flops, like “Something Borrowed” and “Friends with Benefits,” “Crazy Stupid Love” carries a compelling storyline along nicely with the help of subplots and one shocker of a twist. After learning that his wife has slept with a co-worker, Steve Carell’s Cal transforms himself inside and out with the help of ladies man, Jacob, played smoothly by Ryan Gosling. In a story-line ripped from the pages of 2005’s “Hitch,” Cal changes everything from his wardrobe to his wallet.

BEST COMEDY

BRIDESMAIDS

This writer’s opinion for best movie of the summer, “Bridesmaids” may very well be the best female-driven comedy of all time. Starring Kristen Wiig as the down-on-her-luck maid of honor, Annie, “Bridesmaids,” utilizes Wiig’s comedic timing to deliver jokes that would even make George Carlin laugh. When her best friend, Lilllian, played perfectly by Maya Rudolph, decides to have a lavish wedding, Annie’s life take a turn for the worst. With a supporting cast that steals the show, “Bridesmaids,” is responsible for the astronomical rise of Melissa McCarthy. McCarthy’s character, Megan

What makes “Crazy Stupid Love” so charming is the movie’s ability to separate itself from the normal cliches strewn across almost every other romantic comedy in theaters. Sure, there is a kiss in the rain, but with the help of directors, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, it all seems fresh. Chalked full of supporting actors like Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon, and Marissa Tomei, there is definitely not a lack of acting prowess in the film. With such refined performance, it’s very hard to find a dull scene in its 118 minute run-time. Easily one of the best romcoms in the past decade, “Crazy Stupid Love” is great from start to finish.

With releases like “Thor,” “Captain America” and “Transformers,” the race for the summer’s best action movie was a crowded one. However, corssing the finish line first was none other than “X-Men: First Class.” As a prequel, “First Class” does a solid job of explaining some of X-Men’s most prolific story lines. Explaining the relationships between characters like Magneto and Dr. Xavier as well as Mystique and the Beast, any devoted “X-men” fans got their money’s worth.

BEST INDIE FILM This summer’s best independent film takes viewers on an adventure back in time to the highly romanticized city of Paris. Star Owen Wilson plays a nostalgic scriptwriter who yearns to travel back to Paris in the 1920’s. His dreams come true

X-MEN FIRST CLASS Starring a relatively popular cast, “X-Men: First Class” features actors like Rose Bryne, Jennifer Lawrence, and James McAvoy. Set during the backdrop of the world’s Cold War, “First Class” is almost as much of a false history lesson as it is a daring action movie. While “Thor” and “Captain America” may have captured the media’s attention, “X-men: First Class” captures the title as the summer’s best action movie.

BEST

HORRIBLE SUMMER SURPRISE BOSSES A hilarious tale of three best friends attempting to rid themselves of their life-ruining bosses, “Horrible Bosses” took this critic by surprise. To learn how to best exterminate their bosses for good, they consult with an ex-con (played by Jamie Foxx), have a few too many drinks and embark on their mission, running into a few rookie mistakes on the way. Even though it had strong competition with last summer’s

BEST

ALIEN INVASION MIDNIGHT IN PARIS when he stumbles upon a timetraveling vehicle only to meet artists like Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso. A wonderful love story, “Midnight in Paris” encompasses the beauty of art and life and wraps it up into one charming summer flick.

Did anyone really doubt that a movie with Stephen Spielberg and J.J Abrams would be bad? Didn’t think so. “Super 8” follows a 1970’s town after a government issued train is destroyed by a secret-wilding scientist. With scene-stealing performance by Elle Fanning, “Super 8,” is the perfect film for adults looking for a nostalgic

“The Hangover,” “Horrible Bosses” still charmed audiences with its raunchy comedy and clever story line. For once, Jennifer Aniston, actually comes across as funny in her role as the sexually harassing dentist, Dr. Julia Harris. No one expected “Horrible Bosses” to be as hilarious as it was, but with a solid cast and genius writing, the movie is a welcome surprise.

SUPER 8 return to their childhoods. Credit should be given to the special-effects team of “Super 8’s.” The scene in which the train crashes looked genuinely real. Look for a little recognition when the Oscar’s come around, if “Super 8” is lucky, it may get a nod for effects and sound-editing. Comparable to Spielberg’s earlier film, “E.T.” “Super 8” is definently out of this world.

is a foul-mouthed, government worker who provides much of the films rib breaking moments. Essentially, “Bridesmaids” is “The Hangover” in a pretty dress. While the original screenplay., written by Annie Mumolo, varies vastly from the final, filmed, product, Mumolo still deserves credit for crafting such compelling characters. Directed by Paul Fieg, the same man who brought us “Knocked Up,” Fieg’s knack for telling comedic stories peaks with “Bridesmaids.” Even though “Bridesmaids” had formidable competition this summer, it comes out of August as comedy’s champ.
