Presidential Leadership Scholars Program open to graduate students, professionals CHarmion Davis Contributing Writer cddavis@smu.edu Graduate students and midcareer professionals from across the country can apply for the first time to develop leadership skills with the Presidential Leadership Scholars Program. “The real goal of the program is to develop solution-oriented leaders who use presidencies as the case study,” said Holly Kuzmich, senior vice president of the Bush Institute. She speaks of the Presidential Leadership Scholars Program, a free six-month leadership training course that teaches practical styled problem solving for real world application. The program incorporates two of the U.S.’s most active former presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, to help assist the scholars with examples of how leadership plays a role in real life crises. The program draws from the resources of four different presidential centers – The Clinton Foundation in Little Rock,
Arkansas, The Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation in Austin, George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, and George H.W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation in College Station, Texas. The program uses real examples from all administrations to make up the curriculum for the program, and each will be presented at its specified location in support of an overall theme, according to Kuzmich. At the George W. Bush Presidential Center the theme is decision making; at The Clinton Foundation the focus is visual and communication, The Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation and Library uses precision and influence as a theme; the George H.W. Bush Library emphasizes coalition building. The scholars will visit one of the presidential centers per weekend to discuss and work on case studies and projects associated with the theme of that center. The program is designed to allow the scholars maintenance of their jobs by pushing all curriculums to weekends. The only requirements are

ATHLETICS
AUSTIN — The biggest shake up of Texas politics in decades is two weeks away. As early voting begins Monday, little has changed since campaigns launched a year ago: Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott is still favored to become the next governor, George P. Bush is poised to win his political debut and Democrats remain longshots to break a 20-year losing streak in statewide races.
The application will remain open until Oct. 27. The first group of scholars will be named Dec. 8 and the program will begin Feb. 20, 2015. For more information regarding the Presidential Leadership Scholars Program visit www. presidentialleadershipscholars.org.

“The average American consumes two to four amounts of coffee each day.”
The most popular drug in the world Caffeine has long term health effects on the body benjamin chi bchi@smu.edu Health and Fitness Editor Caffeine has become such an important part of the average American’s morning and, oftentimes, afternoons. According to a study by the US Food and Drug Administration, the average American consumes two to four serving of coffee each day. The health benefits and health risks of caffeine have been hotly debated for years now, although it’ll take a lot more than some facts to change such an ingrained part of US culture. Caffeine, aptly called the most popular drug in the world, is found in natural seeds and leaves of various plants. Caffeine is used as an insecticide by the plants. The
caffeine we normally consume comes from the seeds of a coffee plant or the leaves of a tea bush. Caffeine is a natural stimulant. It acts by stimulating the central nervous system and works to fight off tiredness and to improve the concentration and focus of the mind. Caffeine is absorbed throughout the body, most notably the brain, and typically passes out of the body harmlessly after a few hours as urine. Typically, caffeine starts working as little as ten minutes after consumption and as long as six hours after. There are many health benefits to regularly drinking controlled amounts of caffeine. Medical News Today cites studies where drinking up to four cups of coffee a day may decrease the risk of liver

cancer by 50%, and mouth and throat cancer by half. Caffeine, in addition to boosting short term brain function, may also help improve long term memory in some cases. However, there are also studies that state that large amounts of caffeine (500-600 mg) “may lead to insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, an upset stomach, a fast heartbeat and even muscle tremors,” according to the Mayo Clinic. Even moderate amounts of caffeine (300-400 mg per day) may lead to an increased chance of early death and reduced weight in newborn babies. The effect of caffeine varies person by person, but, like many foods and drinks, moderation is key to safe and healthy consumption.

Every elementary school student has seen a picture of the food pyramid. It’s is a useful tool to concisely explain the basics of nutrition to children. The theory behind the food pyramid is that the areas in which the pyramid are larger, like fruits, vegetables and certain meats are meant to be eaten more often than the areas of the pyramid which are smaller, such as refined carbohydrates. However, there is another very important layer of complexity that is often overlooked. This factor is the ratio of nutrients to calories as well as the satiety amount of the food There are many foods that are very nutrient dense and calorie light, like many leafy vegetables. On the other side of the scale are nutrient light and calorie heavy foods, such as very sugary foods and refined carbohydrates. By consuming large amounts of nutrient light and calorie heavy foods, such as fast food, people can experience the paradox of being both obese and malnourished. In countries such as South Africa, more than 25% of school children are overweight and more than 20% of school children are malnourished. This comes from the dominating presence of fast food markets in countries such as South Africa; by eating foods that carry a large amount of calories but few of the nutrients needed to function properly, people suffer from the health detriments of both diseases. Eating not only a low amount of calories but also the right things is more important to general health than people

Avoid foods that are high calorie and nutrient low.
realize. The healthiest foods are the ones from animals and plants because they are nutrient dense and also leave a person feeling very satiated. Satiation is also a huge part of choosing what to eat because it’s easy to eat a large amount of foods that aren’t very filling yet very high calorie, such as sugary sodas, sports drinks or candy. 200 calories worth of soda is much easier to consume than 200 calories worth of broccoli – by constantly feeling hungry yet consuming empty calories, weight gain is inevitable, especially with drinks like soda. The foods that feel the most filling are the ones that contain large amounts of protein, fiber or water. These are typically natural meats, root, and leafy vegetables. In addition, the energy density of a food is critical to eating the right amount every day. According to Simple Science Fitness, a Cinnabon is the energy equivalent to “19 slices of bacon, or 10 large eggs, or 63 extra large shrimp, or 1 huge 12 oz steak.” Although today each popular
item in a supermarket has a fat-free or low-fat variation, research indicates that those may not be as beneficial as they claim to be. Many studies point to the rise of sweets and flour/corn based products to explain the obesity epidemic. These products, such as pastas, pizzas, candies and sugary drinks, are all extremely energy dense, nutrient poor, and not as filling as natural plants or animals. In addition, these are typically dubbed “empty calories” because they only provide calories and none of the important macronutrients or minerals. In addition, the satiety is closely correlated to the amount of protein, water and fiber in a dish, which are things that high carbohydrate foods typically lack. Many family physicians urge patients to stay away from these foods, regardless of their physical health. Choosing the right things to eat can be hard for college students with limited resources. However, eating healthily throughout your college career will yield benefits later on in life that will be priceless.

SMU women’s swimming and diving finished third at the 21st annual SMU Classic this weekend. Mustang seniors Rachel Nicol and Tara-Lynn Nicholas helped push SMU to third place after sweeping the breaststroke heats. A win in the 200-yard freestyle relay also helped the Mustangs take third. Nicol clocked a time of 2:10.11 in the championship heat and Nicholas clocked a 2:13.40 in the consolation final. “They really competed at a high level this weekend,” Head Coach Steve Collins said. “We

came into the meet trying to challenge the best teams and enjoyed working together as a team.” Senior Nathalie Lindborgan out-touched USC’s Evan Swenson for a 1:31.34 mark in the 200-yard freestyle relay in the final nail-biting event of the Classic. The relay was stacked with senior Isabella Arcila, sophomore Marne Erasmus and first-year Adrienn Santa. “I am very proud of everything we were able to accomplish this weekend,” Collins said. “The last relay was a highlight and a great way to move forward.” SMU earned runnerup honors in the 200-yard individual medley with Arcila,
Nicholas, Erasmus and N. Lindborg clocking in at 1:39.35. SMU sophomore Ursa Bezan earned the Mustangs other runner-up honor in a championship final coming in at 4:46.67 in the 500-yard freestyle while sophomore Kirsty McLauchlan placed third in the event’s consolation final. First-year Madeline Wainman posted a 264 in threemeter diving, putting her at fifth place and giving the Mustangs a 10-point boost.

SMU men’s soccer, No. 21, took on No. 24 USF for a 2-2 draw on Westcott Field Saturday. The Mustangs are still leading the league with a record of 8-3-2 on the season and 3-0-2 in American Athletic Conference play. The Bulls sit at 8-4-1 and 3-1-1 in AAC play. USF made its first goal in the 21st minute and it wasn’t until the 61st minute that the Mustangs found their groove and tied it up. SMU first-years Bryce Clark and Jared Rice lined for a 30yard free kick for SMU and Clark connected on the set piece over the arms of USF goalkeeper Spasoje Stefanovic for a goal. “We expected nothing less than a very difficult game against a very difficult opponent,” Head
Coach Tim McClements said. “I’m very proud of the players coming back from a goal down and then doing it again. I felt like we generated enough opportunities to get the third goal, but it just didn’t happen. So we’re disappointed that we didn’t win the game, but it’s a typical American Athletic Conference game at the top level.” The Bulls quickly came back in the 63rd minute for another goal, putting them ahead yet again. The Mustangs gained momentum with a 11-2 advantage in shots in the second frame, giving them another opportunity for a free kick in the 75th minute. Rice was able to place a perfect ball on the head of junior Idrissa Camara, who headed the ball over Stefanovic. This marked his team-leading sixth of the season. “The players are focused. They knew what USF was
about,” McClements said. “They knew it was a difficult opponent and they were prepared.” Clark was one of the Mustang leaders with a game-high four shots on goal and Camara had three. It was Senior Andrew Morales, redshirt first-year Abdul Yassine and first-year Jordan Cano who accounted for SMU’s remaining shots. “I thought they did an excellent job,” McClements added. “We were able to move the ball around the park and able to generate a lot of opportunities in the game, but it was a physical match so sometimes they looked a little bit sloppy. But it’s a conference match and that’s going to happen when you’re fighting for points and postseason play.” The Mustangs take on Tulsa for an AAC road game rivalry Wednesday at 7 p.m.

How to have the best lazy Sunday I am in love with lazy Sundays. I like sleeping late, eating a deliciously hot breakfast and sitting on my couch for a majority of the day. Sometimes I venture out into the real world, but it’s only to get food or to see a Narnia movie with Chris Parnell. Ok, maybe I don’t do that. I just wanted to reference The Lonely Island’s “Lazy Sunday.” Besides, we all know there are no Narnia movies playing right now. I know most Sundays are solely dedicated to homework, but I think it’s important to have at least one day every month or so to just relax. For me, it just so happens that that day is almost always Sunday. In my 20 years here on earth, I have perfected the lazy Sunday, and I want to share some of my favorite things to do on lazy days.

Momma T makes an omlet for a student at Umphrey Lee dining hall.
Umphrey Lee dining hall closes early on weekends, leaves students starving SMU has announced that the Umphrey Lee dining hall (aka Umph) will now be closed after 2 p.m. on weekends. The only dining facility students will have access to on weekends is Arnold dining hall by the new Residential Commons. Arnold is open from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Although I had heard about this, I was secretly hoping that it was not true. I went over to Umph later that day to confirm the announcement; however, I didn’t even have to ask. Derrick broke the bad news before I even had the chance to. He took my student ID card, swiped it, gave me a compliment and a hug then said, “In case you haven’t heard, Umph will be closed after 2 p.m. on weekends. Sorry sweetie.” I felt a swirl of emotions. Where would I go to get my morning omelet and afternoon froyo? How can my Saturday mornings be happy without Momma T or Derrick? After feeling sad, I felt angry. Why was SMU closing one of the only two dining halls on campus? Do they not realize how many mouths they have to feed? As of last year, it is required for first-years and sophomores to live on campus. To accommodate this influx of people actually staying, new residential commons, a dining hall and a parking lot were built. Two dining halls were enough to feed the giant mobs

of underclassmen during busy hours throughout the week, but what happens during the weekends? The benefits of having two dining halls on campus was that there was one on each side of campus so that students didn’t have to walk fifteen minutes to get food (and when you’re hungry, every minute counts). It’s more convenient for students to get food when they are ravenous at a closer proximity without them having to trek across campus to find food. Moreover, now that Arnold closes at 7 p.m., at a typical dinner hour, students have to rush to eat dinner or eat earlier, and will become hungry later in the night. This cheats students out of their meal plans. They cannot eat as often as they want or need to, and now they are restricted to one dining facility that is furthest from the main center of campus. And as the season transitions to fall and winter, it will become darker earlier. That means it will be less safe for students to be walking over to go eat all the way at Arnold, especially if students are living in Shuttles, Peyton, Mary Hay
or Virginia-Snider. It is ridiculous for students to have to be restricted to one dining hall when students are required to live on campus. Not only is it limiting, closing the Umphrey Lee dining hall to me is closing off one of the homiest parts of SMU. I think every student can agree that most of their underclassmen period included Mustang Corral, communal dorms and eating at Umph every damn day. There is just something about Umph that makes you feel like you’re less at a cafeteria and a little bit more at home. Maybe it’s just the famous and loved staff. Maybe it’s the bell ringing signaling the freshly baked cookies. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m just too accustomed to Umph rather than Arnold. I know I’m biased. Ideally, as a student, I would like both dining halls to be open so I’m able to grab food at the closest proximity to me wherever I wake up the next morning. But given the choice, I would rather trek over to Umph. During my short interaction with Derrick, he said something that I found to be surprisingly comforting. He said, “Even though you have to go over to the other place to eat, don’t forget that your home is here with us.” And that’s why I believe they need to open Umph back on weekends again.

1. Sleep Sleep as late as humanly possible. I once slept until 4 p.m. I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of that, but I’m sharing it anyway. During the week, you have classes, work or other obligations that keep you from staying in bed. When the rare chance to sleep in shows up, you have to seize it. 2. Eat I’m not sure who invented pancakes, but I’m guessing they invented them for the sole purpose of Sunday morning brunch. Sundays are the perfect day to make yourself a delicious meal or go out and pick up something from your favorite restaurant. Order Greenville pizza (again) or pick up Chili’s because it’s delicious. You’ve been working hard all week and you’ve got another week ahead of you. You deserve it.

during the week, so Sunday is usually the perfect time to catch up. I’m usually catching up on “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project.” Then maybe I’ll attempt to watch one of those movies I always say I’m going to watch someday like “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Sometimes it works and I see a great new movie, but most times I end up watching “Bob’s Burgers” on Netflix for three hours instead. 4. Read Sunday is also the perfect day to catch up on reading, whether that’s the news or a good book. Right now I’m reading Lena Dunham’s “Not That Kind of Girl” and Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl.” If it’s nice outside, I recommend heading over to White Rock Lake with whatever book you’re currently reading or want to read. The calming lake mixed with the noise of bikers and dog walkers make White Rock Lake one of my favorite places. 5. Relax Hang out with friends or stay by yourself awhile. Go for a long walk or stay inside on the couch. Work out or take a hot bath. Just do whatever makes you feel recharged and refreshed for the upcoming week. You’ll be really glad you did.

The cylical process of Family Weekend A satirical yet accurate description of what happens during Family Weekend Family Weekend is an annual event held at SMU. It is highly anticipated; however, what people do not realize is how dangerous and crazy it is. The following is a description of what happens when creatures called parents come to SMU for Family Weekend. Parents flock in hoards to come visit their precious child (or children) and experience a taste of what SMU has to offer. They are concentrated on the SMU campus, and slowly spread outward, infiltrating all of Dallas as they check into all the hotels closest to school. They like to travel in pairs. Typically it will be a man and a woman. You can decipher if they are together usually by a ring on the fourth finger of their left hand. They will select a target residential common, where they will scope out a young adult, looking similarly physical to themselves. Then, they will thrust their arms open and capture their prey, locking them into a suffocating embrace for a duration of time. They will also name their prey. Names such as “daughter,” “son,” “offspring” or “child” have been used. They will say these names constantly while coddling their prey. Parents will then enter the habitat of their child. They will thoroughly go through their belongings. They will inspect its cleanliness. They will check if there is water and food for the child to be healthy. They will pry to see if their child

has undisclosed personal items that they should not have. The anxiety for the child builds. As this goes on, the parents become hungry. They must feed. The parents use the child as a human Siri to find food. The parents will then force the child to describe every building and significant looking object they see in detail along the way. Upon entering the dining hall, the parents will examine the food. They will taste it and determine whether or not the food is to their liking. They will tell the child how palatable they found it. They will also ask the child many questions about the food regardless if the child knows the answer or not. This process continues. When darkness falls, the parents retract and return to their hives, such as the Lumen or the Hilton, until morning. The next day, boulevarding and parents’ night out will take a taxing toll on parents’ bodies. Parents will assimilate to SMU students by dressing in similar fashion. They will camouflage themselves by wearing red, white or blue. On the boulevard, the parents will ingest alcohol, as they can because they are of legal age. This substance will be
delectable; the parents will ingest more and more as the day persists. By nighttime the parents will have become inebriated. This induces the formation of many friendships with the child’s friends, acquaintances and peers. The child will then bring their parents out to Barley House or Trophy Room where they will communicate and mingle with other parents and their children. It will be superb. The night will be concluded when one of the parents or the child cannot take in any more alcohol. They will be exhausted. They will want to eat food and fall asleep right outside the bar or club. They will all be taken back via Uber and go through a short hibernation. The final morning comes. The parents will leave in accordance to their flight itinerary, where they will be sent off back to their homeland. The child will feel sad. The child will miss its birthgivers. The child will realize that although parents can be a little extreme at times, they love the child dearly. The child will then embrace the parents one last time and realize that the ominous and anxiety-filled Family Weekend should not have been perceived as so. It should be a time of excitement, happiness and joy as a family reconnects to make new memories in the child’s new home.

Review
SMU graduate directs documentary on country music star riley coven Arts and Entertainment Writer rcoven@mail.smu.edu “Billy had the looks, the voice and the writing. He had them all.” A quote from the documentary “Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound” sums up the film’s message perfectly. A movie by SMU graduate William J. Saunders, the grandson of Billy Mize himself, “Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound” tells the story of a man who revolutionized country music and the way it was viewed. While most are aware of the country music scene and its origins in Nashville, not many know about its strong connections and rise in Bakersfield, California. Dominated by many legendary figures such as Merle Haggard and Buck Owens,
the Bakersfield Sound was a country music movement pioneered by men like Billy Mize. While Nashville’s country music scene was known for its smoother acoustic sound, out west Billy Mize led the way for a rawer sound, truer to the origins of country music. The film focuses on his achievements and brings Billy’s public life to the forefront, impressing with how much influence he had on legendary artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Grateful Dead. His songwriting talent couldn’t be ignored and helped bring countless artists to the public spotlight. This film delved deeper than Billy Mize’s stage persona and gave the audience a glimpse into his tragic personal life. While most people would look at Billy and see a smiling, singing,
quick-witted entertainer, behind the scenes this was not always the case. Billy was a legend in the music business, but only to other musicians. Nothing mattered more to him than his family, so when he turned down the opportunity to tour nationally to be with his children and wife, his career suffered. In a tragic series of circumstances, regardless of devoting all his time to his family, Billy lost his youngest son to a swimming accident and his eldest to a motorcycle accident only three years later. Focusing on more than just the music, “Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound” paints a picture of a tragic rise to stardom, the subsequent fall and the redemption that Billy finds for himself.
