Senate discusses diversity, upcoming events

Sandra Fluke visited campus on Monday to discuss women’s health issues, especially at the federal level.

Sandra Fluke sparks debate AMANDA PRESMYK Contributing Writer apresmyk@smu.edu The Women’s and Gender Studies Program hosted “Economics and Equality: How Obstacles to Women’s Health Care Can Affect Us All” at SMU. Journalism professor Karen Thomas moderated the panel symposium featuring Sandra Fluke Monday night. Charles Curran, human rights professor Elizabeth Scurlock, associate provost and Dedman Law School professor Linda Eads and Ken Lambrecht, president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood North Texas, sat on the discussion panel. “I’d like to begin with a caveat: if you’ve come to see how slutty I am in person, you are probably going to be disappointed with the content of my discussion,” Fluke at the start of her speech,

referring to the Rush Limbaugh controversy that first thrust her into the spotlight, said. After responding to “misconceptions” regarding her remarks to the Democratic members of the House in February, Fluke recognized that limiting women’s access to affordable contraceptives deprives a very specific group of women of their rights to health care. She said giving insurers the choice to cover the cost of contraceptives or not is “an incredible personal choice to hand over to your employer.” Eads framed her discussion of women’s health and legislation with regards to constitutional law, stating that the issue could be discussed in terms of constitutional privacy and freedom of religion. “Government cannot control our procreation. Is there anything more an anathema to a human being than to have the government,

to have politicians, control procreation?” Eads said. Curran called a proposed compromise “brilliant in many ways.” The new legislation would allow the government to step in and offset the high costs of contraceptives when a woman’s place of employment or other nonprofit agency offering her insurance coverage is opposed to contraceptives. “No compromise is perfect, but let’s face it – the whole political spectrum today, both left and right, is unwilling to compromise,” Curran said. Lambrecht closed the panel by highlighting the importance of women’s health centers like Planned Parenthood. Legislation, like Title 10, has stripped $75 million from the Texas state budget and led to the closure of 60 Planned Parenthood centers. Despite the reduced budget, Lambrecht said there has actually

been an increase in government and taxpayer spending on women’s care. Thomas and audience members followed up his comment with many questions. The questions posed covered abortion, global women’s health care, social movements, political agenda setting and family planning. The conversation greatly impressed SMU Student Senate Vice President Zane Cavender. “Regardless of personal beliefs or ideals, it is phenomenal that SMU could host this event,” Cavendar said. “It truly demonstrates the caliber of our university and its student body.” Fluke ended the program by thanking the audience for attending and a challenge for future conversation. “Respect and honor each other’s choices,” she said. “No matter one’s personal views.”

HOUSING

Student Body President Alex Mace opened the Senate meeting on Tuesday by swearing in eight new senators. In their oaths these new senators swore to uphold the SMU Senate Constitution and by-laws and represent the interests of their constituency. President Mace then discussed the potential adaptations to the Senate’s policy via the “proactive ad hoc” R&R (Research and Recommendations) Committee. This committee’s job will be to examine the Senate’s extant documents on organization, and explore reform options. The call for improvement in functionality comes in response to concerns raised by constituent student organizations about the Senate’s efficacy in reacting to significant events — such as the vandalism that occurred two weeks ago. Mace also encouraged all senators to attend the town hall assembly, “Elephant in the Room,” on Tuesday evening to support campus diversity initiatives. SMU Chaplain, Stephen Rankin, addressed the chamber saying that the Senate’s members came to their positions because they are “motivated to make life better at SMU.” He further said that when one is extremely busy, it’s “tempting to drop your vision and aim for the incremental,” to “focus

on the doable.” However, he exhorted the senators to “dream big, tackle the big issues and remember to have courage and endurance.” Before leaving the podium, Dr. Rankin added another thought: “Your core values shape the way you think about challenges you face,” and that this implies “an inherently spiritual dimension” to one’s thought process. He asked the senators to think about from where their “core values” are derived, and that he is open to listen to any one of them individually, adding that he “count[s] it a holy privilege to have such conversations.” Next, SMU Program Council representatives Haley Finkenbinder and Lillian Foster talked about their organization’s recent success this semester with events such as the Block Party and Park ‘N Party, and screenings of films The Avengers and The Five-Year Engagement. Further, they discussed their plans for forthcoming events: SMU Saloon, in which the Hughes-Trigg Ballroom will be “turned into Billy Bob’s”; Sweet and Greet, in which SMU athletes and other students will bond over frozen yogurt; and float-building for homecoming, which will be in about a month. Heather Rodenborg, a representative of Perkins School of Theology, addressed the chamber to ask that the money which had been earmarked for a lecturer the school wanted to bring in be given instead to College Hispanic American Students’ (CHAS) effort to bring in a speaker of their own. The speaker in question is Marlene Esperanza, an Olympic boxer, whom Rodenborg describes as “a role model for overcoming oppression.” This generosity was motivated by a call for diversity

ACADEMICS

Students weigh in on campus versus off campus housing debate CAROLINE HICKS Contributing Writer chicks@smu.edu Their sophomore year, Southern Methodist University students are given the choice to live on or off campus. On the first day of class, sophomore Morgan Siewert, who lives in the BLVD apartment complex on SMU Boulevard, frantically searched for a parking spot in the Binkley parking garage. “Most mornings I have to leave my apartment twenty minutes before my class starts so that I can find parking and then walk to class from there,” Siewert said. Siewert said she sometimes envies those living in VirginiaSnider Residence Hall or in an on-campus Greek house who get to calmly meander to class. Many students chose to stay on campus after their freshman to avoid the inconvenience of commuting. Senior Resident Assistant Travis Miller has lived in McElvaney Hall since his freshman year. He said he loves being on campus now as much as he did then. “Living on campus is

awesome. It couldn’t be more convenient,” Miller said. Only four of the 15 residence halls on campus are restricted to first-year students. Beyond the dorms, there are sorority and fraternity houses open to students who join the Greek community. These housing options provide upperclassmen the opportunity to live on campus. “There seem to be a lot of cool apartments off campus, but I’m enjoying living in McElvaney and think I want to

stay on campus next year. Buying furniture for an apartment would be expensive and somewhat of a hassle,” freshman Harrison Gamble, said. Furnishing an apartment, paying rent and electric bill and gas money can all add up when living off campus. Siewert admits her spending has increased a lot since moving off campus, but she also said the pros of living off campus still greatly outweigh

JULIANNE WILLIS Contributing Writer jwillis@smu.edu Getting out of the SMU bubble is not always easy, but with Taos and SMU Abroad programs the university offers students many ways to expand their horizons. Senior Houstoun Waring went to Taos, New Mexico in May for the SMU-in-Taos program. “I had a great experience. Having one academic class a day offered the opportunity to enjoy nature and take in the scenery, as

well as to explore Taos. All of the classes include several field trips to important or famous cultural sites in the area,” Waring said. Just 12 hours away from Dallas, Taos didn’t offer too much of a culture shock for Waring. But senior Tony Shallcross discovered living in Copenhagen, Denmark was very different. “I went abroad because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend four months in another country, while taking classes, meeting new people and an opportunity to get out of the SMU bubble we all love,” Shallcross said.

Along with travelling to 12 other countries, Shallcross rock climbed the Cinque Terre, visited a beach in Malta and stood on the historic battlefields of Istanbul. “I can say with one hundred percent certainty that this was the best decision I have ever made,” Shallcross said. SMU Abroad offers opportunities in several continents with exclusive programs at elite institutions like the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics. All schools, especially the Cox School of Business, encourage students to go abroad.

Splurge or save? A guide to what’s really worth it HILLARY SCHMIDT Fashion Editor hjschmidt@smu.edu It’s easy to assume that in order to stay trendy you have to spend a lot of money on clothes. But, not everything you buy has to be “designer,” and therefore expensive. There are other, less expensive brands offer in-season items at a much lower price. You should always ask yourself when it’s appropriate to splurge, and when you should save before you make a purchase. There are strategic ways to shop that help you stay trendy, but also let you keep some extra cash in your bank account. First, focus on investing in some timeless pieces like a handtailored jacket, a perfectly-fitting dress or a cashmere sweater that really prove that paying a high price was worth it. Then, use these to mix and match with clothes and accessories that are more reasonably priced to complete the look. Before you can decide which items you should spend more or less money on, it’s important to know what you should be looking for in the first place. Key pieces for any wardrobe are jeans, boots, black and white tops, black heels and a blazer. All should be fashionable and

functional at the same time. There is plenty of room to add your own personal touch. The styling is totally up to you and your individual preference — there isn’t a boundary you have to stay in. If you like motorcycle boots, go with those. If you prefer high heeled boots, sport those. For SMU students owning these items is a necessity. They can be worn casually for class or dressed up for a night out with friends. And for those juniors and seniors these pieces are an easy go-to when preparing for a job interview. But spend some time searching in order to ensure that what you buy is perfect for these occasions. The best stores to find pieces you see appropriate to invest in are department stores, like Macy’s and Neiman Marcus, and individual stores of more high-end designers such as 7 For All Mankind, Alice + Olivia and Michael Kors. Highland Park Village is a great place to find name brands. Here you have access to designers such as Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Ralph Lauren and many others. But you don’t have to shop at these stores to be fashionable. There are plenty of stores and online web sites that sell the key pieces and appeal to almost any

budget. Unfortunately, it may take up more of your time to go through these stores in order to find pieces that appear to be designer. Shopping at these stores requires you to look through almost everything, because not all of their clothes aren’t necessarily quality items. But spending the time is certainly worth it in the end.The best items to save on are costume jewelry, T-shirts and jeans, which can easily be found at wallet-friendly stores. It isn’t hard to find these items that look a lot like designer brands but are nearly half the price. Every store imaginable sells these pieces so the less expensive stores will definitely have them in stock. And, if you’re careful enough during your search for affordable items, the quality of the fabric can be just as good as any designer piece. Some of the best stores to find these fashionable, inexpensive, items are Forever 21, H&M, Express and Zara. All of these stores keep up with the current trends, so no matter where you are shopping you are guaranteed to find somethingwhether it is clothes, shoes or accessories—that is in-season. Still you should be careful at these budget-friendly stores. Getting excited about the low

prices can lead to a subconscious comfort for buying a lot at one time. It adds up so sift through your items while waiting in the checkout line and focus on the pieces you have to have. These purchases should include pieces that you absolutely know you will wear, and more than once. If you really want to own more designer labels there are stores

CRIME

Education needed to combat intolerance on the Hilltop KELSEY CHARLES Associate Sports Editor kcharles@smu.edu While SMU may be off the list of most homophobic schools in the U.S., some think that prejudice and bias are still strong on campus. Such sentiments and potential solutions to those issues were discussed in “The Elephant in the Room: Battle Bias” town hall meeting that was held Tuesday night in the Hughes Trigg Theatre. “When people look at me, they assume I am white. I am Hispanic, half Columbian, and half Mexican,” SMU student Briana Monsalve said. “No one sees that. It’s part of the stereotypical viewpoints we have about particular races. We think we are supposed to talk a certain way, act a certain way, carry ourselves a certain way.” “I didn’t realize there was a certain way I was supposed to speak, I thought we were all just speaking English.” Others expressed their concern of removing parts of a culture from the context they belong in. “I’m tired of seeing different cultures being made a costume. That’s not who we are. That’s taking an aspect of what might be our culture and taking it out of context,” Oscar Cetino said. The idea of having a town hall meeting arose after various events that were seen as discriminatory occurred on campus. “It was mainly in response to the fact that many organizations and individuals on campus were hurt and offended by the vandalism that was happening on campus. And frankly vandalism is a form of bullying and shouldn’t be tolerated on campus,” Kimberly Elmazi, chair of the Student Senate Diversity Committee, said.

NEWS

Sexual assault reported on campus Monday SMU sent out a campus crime alert just before 6 p.m. Monday about a sexual assault occurrence. A male SMU student reported that he was sexually assaulted by a male

acquaintance who is also an SMU student. The encounter first happened just west of 3050 SMU Blvd., which according to the campus directory is the Sigma Phi

Epsilon fraternity house, and again in Airline Garage around 3 a.m. on Sunday. Police are still investigating the details of the reported sexual assault.

SIDNEY HOLLINGSWORTH/The Daily Campus

Kimberly Elmazi, Student Senate Diversity chair, speaks about diversity.

The issues were concerning for many at the gathering, but several people introduced the idea that the events were isolated and did not accurately reflect the SMU community as a whole. “We can’t let a few jerks become the face of our community because there are also a lot of good, kind people who want to be a part of this discussion,” sophomore Kelly Kiser said. Fellow organization leaders echoed some of the thoughts expressed at the meeting. “Although we do feel somewhat respected, I wouldn’t go so far as to say we are equally respected on campus. And obviously, we are not equally represented,” Hannah Park, president of the Asian Council in an email, said. “I think there is a bias on campus and I think it might exist because the minority population is a small percentage of SMU. There still aren’t at least 400 black undergraduate students, including student athletes,” Devean Owens, the president of the Association of Black Students, said. According to SMU’s campus profile on its website, there were

2,647 minority students enrolled on SMU’s campus in the fall of 2011 out of a total enrollment, graduate and undergraduate, of 10, 982. Based off of this statistic, the minority demographic makes up 24.1 percent of SMU’s campus. The proposed solution posed by town hall participants was greater education and awareness. “I think a solution to this is spreading awareness of not only Asian culture, but other cultures as well, throughout our campus,” said Park. “Having other leaders of other organizations go through a diversity training would change people’s point of view and widen their perspective on people of different ethnic backgrounds.” “I feel like the majority of students haven’t been around multicultural students so they don’t know how to act around them. It’s not like they’re racist or anything, they just genuinely don’t know,” Owens said. “It has to start with dialogue and spreading the word.” Student Senate raised the same concerns and goals in its weekly meeting on Tuesday.

the cons. “It is so nice to have a more spacious place to live. I can entertain guests without having to have them squeeze onto my tiny futon beneath my bunk bed in the dorm room. I feel more grown up and independent,” Siewert said. Starting in fall 2014 sophomore students will be

required to live on campus. New Residential Commons, including five residence halls, a dining hall and parking garage, are being built to accommodate sophomore students forced to stay on campus. Miller said bringing sophomores back to campus is a step in the right direction “The new Residence Commons will help instill a greater sense of community

on campus and a greater pride for SMU, both of which we’re lacking. I think it will be great,” Miller said. For now sophomores still have the choice to live on or off campus, but in two years, the decision will be made for them. SMU is expanding its campus to houses all underclassmen. It will also institute a two year on campus housing requirement.

INCLUSIVE: Senate emphasizes importance of diversity, solidarity continued from page 1

and solidarity at SMU. In Rodenborg’s words, “We are one in Christ, and one in SMU. My brothers and sisters are poor and homeless, are black and Hispanic,

are LGBT and straight.” Thus, concerns over diversity and tolerance at SMU continue to be of great importance to Student Senate and are driving much discussion and policy therein.

The message consistently being laid forth is that all SMU students are united in a collective identity. It must therefore continue to strengthen and promote SMU’s collective unity.

WEEKEND PL ANNER

Are your parents coming into town this weekend. Are you struggling for things to do? Come back on Friday for more reviews of Liberal Arts and Perks of Being a Wallflower as well as a review on SMU’s own production of This Beautiful City. Courtesy of BDCF Pictures

Elizabeth Olsen and Josh Radnor in ‘Liberal Arts.’ Radnor writes, directs and stars in the film.

Josh Radnor grows up with ‘Liberal Arts’ CHASE WADE A&E Editor cdwade@smu.edu It was during a promotional speaking engagement at his alma mater, Kenyon College that Josh Radnor suddenly started to feel old. “I had a sense that I was so much older than the people that were listening to me speak,” Radnor said over the phone in New York City. “Suddenly, I was twice the age of the students. It made [me] start to think about nostalgia and change.” Radnor used this experience to craft his latest film Liberal Arts, a story about a thirty-something academic counselor who revisits his former college to bid adieu to a retiring professor. While there, Radnor’s character gets hooked on the idea of college once more and regrets ever leaving the hallowed halls of academia. “When boiled down, Liberal Arts is about guy dealing with the ghosts after being kicked out of Eden,” Radnor said. Along with his 2010 feature Happythankyoumoreplease, Liberal Arts is Radnor’s second attempt to write, direct and star in a film. Radnor claims to have grown as a filmmaker between the two features. “I’m learning a lot on how to move the camera and tell a story much more visually,” Radnor said. “I’m learning how much dialogue depends on close up and reaction shots.”

Josh Radnor Between being a bona fide triple threat in the world of movies, Radnor also plays Ted Mosby on the longrunning television sitcom How I Met You Mother. With co-stars like Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel, the actor is used to seeing others balance the two worlds together. “One thing about television, especially multicamera comedies, is that it get easier as the show goes on,” Radnor said. “By the time you are in the six, seventh season everything

is humming. That’s when I find myself with some time to be creative. I feel more at ease when I’m being used in the creative sense instead of just working day in and day out.” While balance may not be a problem for Radnor, the actor claims that he could continue creative films if someone “forced him to choose.” “The writing and directing feels like more unexplored territory to me,” Radnor said. “It’s the difference between conducting an orchestra and playing in it.” Playing alongside Radnor in Liberal Arts is Elizabeth Olsen. Olsen plays Zibby, a quirky collegiate that finds herself in a long distance relationship with Radnor’s character. The two exchange music and poems with each other as they both indulge in the world of academia.

Radnor was able to book Olsen for the role as Ziggy before her breakout role in Martha Marcy May Marlene. “Elizabeth was kind of going under the radar for a while during filming,” Radnor said. “And then my phone started blowing up with people wanting recommendations of her.” Even though Radnor tailored the movie’s lead role exclusively for himself the writer, director and actor says the it was Olsen, and not him, who walked away with the movie. “She [Olsen] comes with so much more than what was asked of her,” Radnor said. “She in uniquely suited for the role. Just having a movie star wouldn’t be right for the role. When you see her in the movie, she totally owns it.” Liberal Arts opens in theaters this Friday. Read the review in Friday’s The Daily Campus.

DAllas Morning News Editorial

This is no way to prosecute rape cases Reprinted from the Dallas Morning News Far too often in this country, women in college are raped by other students who suffer minimal consequences. Instead of immediately summoning qualified law enforcement authorities, universities quietly handle these and other criminal cases internally through campus disciplinary councils. Such councils typically comprise students and faculty who aren’t remotely qualified to prosecute serious criminal cases. Few can argue with disciplinary councils hearing cases such as plagiarism, misconduct or other violations of the school’s honor code. But allegations of rape belong in a different league. When campus disciplinary committees take on cases of alleged rape, as happened recently at Southern Methodist University, real justice can be delayed, if not completely denied. Rapists can walk free with minimal punishment. Victims can be left humiliated and frightened, knowing their attackers still roam the campus. In the SMU case, a student-faculty disciplinary council heard rape allegations a female student made in February against Donald Samuel Cuba, 20, now an SMU junior. The council found him guilty, but a second panel overruled. The hearings were behind closed doors, and lawyers were excluded. An SMU spokesman made clear that referral to such a panel is voluntary, and student victims are encouraged to file criminal charges. But for cases as serious as alleged rapes — 10 of which were reported at SMU from 2009 to 2011 — disciplinary councils shouldn’t even be an option. The university passed the results of its investigation to the Dallas County district attorney’s office. Now, seven months after the alleged rape, Cuba faces sexual assault charges. Even Cuba’s attorney, Robert Udashen, says the campus council had no business handling this case. “This allegation is much too serious to do hearings like that,” he said. The Washington-based Center for Public Integrity has spent years investigating similar cases nationwide and documented dozens of examples of rape cases being prosecuted by campus councils. In an Indiana case, a student rapist received a 60-day suspension for a rape described euphemistically as nonconsensual “sexual contact.” Others, such as Reed College in Oregon, according to the report, have a pattern of hiding sexual assault cases and forbidding students from discussing them outside of disciplinary council hearings. Secrecy rules are so strict, one victim worried whether telling her mother would constitute a violation. A 2007 report by the National Institute of Justice found that 13.7 percent of undergraduate women had been victims of sexual assault. Other studies report that universities seldom mete out severe punishments, with permanent expulsion occurring in fewer than 25 percent of cases. Alcohol and drugs often enter the picture, which universities cite as reasons for questioning the victims’ credibility or pushing for criminal prosecution. And there are also cases in which males are the victims of false accusations. The best way to eliminate such doubts is for universities to get out of the way and let law enforcers and real prosecutors do their jobs.

Sandra Fluke appearance sparks birth control debate Republican

Democrat Brandon Bub Contributor bbub@smu.edu Birth control mandates: Ah, I can see the straw men already. It’s much easier to take a side on this argument when you assume that one group can all be portrayed in the same light as the slut-shaming Rush Limbaugh and the other a monolithic bunch of angry leftists proclaiming a “war on women.” But because I enjoy actual thought, I’m not going to make such assumptions today. Personally, I don’t see why this is even an issue anymore. In January religious groups and conservative politicians alike were outraged to hear that as part of the Obama administration’s new health care law, religiously affiliated charities and universities would be required to pay for contraceptives for both their students and employees. Catholics, who as part of their religious doctrine do not believe in the use of contraception in any of its forms, argued that this was an abridgment of their religious liberty and lobbied for the White House to change the policy. So President Barack Obama, being the anti-religious tyrant that he is, decided to... do exactly that. Now, if employees of religiously affiliated schools and universities want contraceptives, they have to go through their insurance companies to get them as a side benefit. It seems to me that the problem now is that religious institutions, which generally provide some sort of health insurance for their employees and/or students, now feel as though by offering insurance at all they’re aiding people’s ability to get contraception. The fact that they’re not the ones paying for it directly anymore does nothing to abate their concerns. For them, the problem is people being able to get any kind of birth control, even if their association is only by proxy. This has led to some schools like Franciscan University of Steubenville to stop offering health insurance plans altogether. I can understand why Catholics would be concerned about the

administration’s original ruling. I commend President Obama and his administration for compromising. And I really think that ought to be the end of this inquiry. The only “right” that Catholic schools and institutions are being denied at this point is a right to deny people birth control. Under the president’s accommodation, they’re not the ones even paying for the contraceptives anymore. Furthermore, not everyone who works for Catholic schools or attends them is a Catholic. They depend on the school’s insurance too. Michael Galligan-Stierle, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, said that people who attend or work at Catholic institutions should know what they’re getting into; after all, “No one would go to a Jewish barbecue and expect pork chops to be served.” Fair point. However, while I’m not the biggest fan of absolute statements, I can’t think of any circumstances where someone’s life was seriously altered or jeopardized from a lack of pork chops. The same cannot be said for a lack of birth control. Would it surprise you to know that many women use birth control for reasons other than preventing pregnancy? Would it also surprise you to know that surveys have shown 98 percent of sexually active Catholic women have used contraceptives (mirroring the general population)? The solution to the birth control problem from the perspective of those offended by Obama’s law seems simple: if you want to prevent pregnancy, stop having sex and wait until marriage. And Catholics, as part of their religious liberty, have every right to preach that message. However, they don’t have a right to force it on both their congregants and people not even affiliated with their faith. Freedom of religion does not entail a freedom to coerce others to live how you want them to. Bub is a junior majoring in English, political science and history.

Hailey Dunn Contributor hdunn@smu.edu The fight for women’s rights is nothing new, but in the last year or so an aspect most never even thought about has come to be a polarizing issue: Who pays for a woman’s birth control? Sandra Fluke, former Georgetown law student and recent SMU guest lecturer, made this a salient issue when she brought before members of Congress the case that her private, Catholic Church affiliated school would not include birth control for nonmedical uses in its insurance plan it offered to students. This means that the insurance would only cover it if the woman’s need to take said medication were for a reason other than birth control. (endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, etc). This debate was magnified due to the fact that it was of importance to the fairly recently passed Affordable Care Act. According to the act, religious colleges and hospitals (but not churches themselves) would be required to offer preventive healthcare that includes contraceptive coverage with no deductibles or co-pays. What this means is that despite moral qualms, Catholic institutions such as Georgetown University would be required to provide women like Fluke and her classmates coverage for contraception no matter their reason for wanting it. The claim is that the issue of public health is of greater importance than the religious freedom on which this country was founded. What many take issue with is the fact that people who are at institutions such as Georgetown know going in that Catholics do not support the use of such contraceptives and that if they need them covered by insurance so badly, perhaps they should look elsewhere for coverage and/ or education. What this issue has been stripped down to is what the liberal media is referring to as “the war on women” with the Republican Party as the chief offender. According to those who believe birth control

should be more readily available to women and at more affordable rates is the idea that this is a preventative healthcare measure that women have a right to and to deny them this for any reason is blatant gender discrimination. However, I would counter that this in fact is not a gender rights issue as Fluke and friends would have the American people believe. No, this is once again an issue of the left’s sense of entitlement. A medication that is available at many pharmacies for as little as $9 should be handed to them free at someone else’s expense with no regard to their position on the morality of contraception. Fluke’s argument is invalid due to the fact that the insurance provided by Georgetown was willing to cover medically necessary contraception but, regardless of marital status, not if its purpose was solely birth control. As most everyone knows, the Catholic Church does not openly condone premarital sex or the use of birth control at any time. Seeking to put mandates on a group that would cause them to go against their personal morals to finance your extracurricular activities is in itself blatant discrimination. To suggest that insurance should fully cover a product that someone who has made the conscious choice to be sexually active deems necessary is ludicrous. Nothing in this life is free. If you are mature enough to make that choice, you are mature enough to find a way to pay for birth control. If not, there are a variety of other resources at a woman’s disposal that women used for years before a magic little pill appeared on the market. The idea of feminism is that a woman is in charge of her own life and body and dependent on no one for her own well-being and success. Would it not speak much more highly of their agenda if they empowered women to be financially responsible for their own birth control rather than reliant on others as their means of obtaining it? Dunn is a junior majoring in political science.

To which region does Texas belong? Katherine Ladner Contributor kladner@smu.edu Most people, especially Texans, can agree that everything is better in Texas. Texas is a large and wonderful state to live and go to college. However, there is one controversial question about the state: Is Texas the South or the Midwest? Although many people tend to believe Texas is the South, there is also a fair argument for the other side too. The argument that Texas is a Southern state is solid and backed up well with history. In the antebellum period, Texas had a 30 percent slave population and voters in the state

voted overwhelmingly to secede from the Union during the Civil War. Due to the fact that the Confederate States of America consisted of only deep Southern states, Texas should be included in that bunch. Most importantly, most parts of Texas has a Southern culture. Politically Texas is also very aligned with the South in that it is and will probably always be a red state. On the flip, there is some evidence that Texas is very well the Midwest. Even though culturally and politically Texas is referred to the South, geographically it’s a little questionable. Texas is very much in the middle of the country and has

large has a fair share of land facing the West. Culturally East Texas, is highly southern since it is right next to Louisiana. However, the farther west you go in Texas the thickness of the accent decreases and the people seem to have their own “Texas” mindset. I asked a few students how they felt about this question, and I got a range of answers. Senior Esther Liu stands by the idea that Texas is in fact the South “geographically, I would argue that Texas is part of the South — apart from Florida and Baja California (if that even counts as part of the States) — we reach farther south than any other state. Historically and culturally,

Texas has been aligned more with the South, especially looking at its Confederate days. Dallas itself is not a very Southern city — but overall, I would say the bulk of Texas is “Southern.” Lastly, Hailey Dunn, also a junior, has a unique position on this. She stated that, “Texas is Texas neither South nor West.” As for me, I agree more with Hailey. Just like how I believe Texas is nothing short of a great State, I also believe that Texas is unique within itself, and those two go hand in hand.

Men take down South Carolina, 2-1 Demetrio Teniente Staff Writer dteniente@smu.edu SMU dominated South Carolina Monday night at Westcott Field in the Mustangs conference opener, winning 2-1. Tyler Engel scored two goals in 75 seconds during the first half to give the Mustangs a comfortable lead early on. His first goal came off a long feed from freshman Derek Schrick. Engel then eluded two defenders and shot the ball softly over the head of South Carolina goalie Alex Long, giving the Mustangs a 1-0 lead. Seventy five seconds later, Andre Morales gave Engel a long pass up the middle. Engel took the

ball, ran over a defender, and scored the ball to the lower right corner of the goal. Both goals were results of good passes up the middle and Engel sprinting past defenders. “When we watched their tape against Tulsa their back line looked a little slow,” Engel said. “I got some good balls through from my teammates and took my chances when I got them.” Engel has 11 points including four goals and three game-winning goals this year to lead SMU in all three categories so far this season.

You give up a goal and then they’re in [the game].’” Jaime Ibarra had another strong outing, racking up seven saves and allowing one goal — despite South Carolina outshooting SMU 17 to 8. “[Ibarra] has without a doubt been the backbone of our team,” McClements said. “We have different lineups that we put out there, but either way he is there behind us.

The Rangers returned home after a 3-3 road trip to Anaheim and Seattle to finish off the regular season. The Rangers started off the trip by taking two of three from the Anaheim Angels and eliminating any chance of catching the Rangers. In the opening game of the road trip, the Rangers ran up against the daunting Jered Weaver who turned in a dominating performance to improve to 18-4 on the season. However, the Rangers bounced back thanks to solid starts by Derek Holland and Yu Darvish winning the final two games of the series. The Rangers struggled in what was supposed to be an easier series in Seattle. The Mariners took two of three from the Rangers. The series was not a disaster, however, as the Oakland Athletics, who, after it continued hot streak have appeared as a threat in the division, failed to gain any ground after it

lost two of three. Texas now has a crucial three game series against the Athletics as it looks to win its third straight AL West division. The Rangers welcomed back Josh Hamilton Monday as he returned from a sinus infection suffered on the road trip. Hamilton provided a scare earlier when he was forced to fly back to Texas to undergo further examination after complaining of sinus and vision problems. These sinus infections were due tp of his cornea drying up as a result of too much caffeine and energy drinks, according to ESPN. Hamilton’s return comes at a crucial time for both the Rangers and around Major League Baseball. After a home run Monday night, Hamilton has climbed one home run ahead of Detroit’s third baseman Miguel Cabrera. The Rangers finish off the season with a six game homestand against the Oakland Athletics and Anaheim Angels before closing out the regular season with three more in Oakland.
