NEWS Briefs World BERLIN — Authorities say one person was killed and 11 were injured in an explosion after a gas pipe was damaged during construction work in a western German city. BRUSSELS — Britain pledged an additional 100 million euro ($126 million) to fight Ebola and Prime Minister David Cameron called on the other European Union leaders at a summit to step up their efforts to contain the deadly virus too.
National FREDERICK, Md.— An airplane and a helicopter collided in the air near a Maryland airport before crashing into a line of trees and a pair of storage units on the ground Thursday afternoon, killing three people and injuring two men. RALEIGH, N.C. — An alarming lack of institutional oversight at the University of North Carolina allowed an academic fraud scandal to run unchecked for nearly two decades and has the school reeling from the scandal’s fallout.
Texas UNIVERSITY PARK — A Dallasarea man has taken inspiration from the fear of Ebola for the Halloween decorations at his town house. James Faulk stacked up barrels marked “biohazard,” surrounded his yard in University Park, with yellow caution tape and crossed his door and windows with white tape marked “quarantine,” reenacting a scene that’s played out at three Dallas apartments.
Dispelling the myths about SMU PD Zoë Mattioli Contributing Writer zmattioli@smu.edu Their first semester freshman year, student Michael Bishop and his roommate were victims in an on campus crime. Someone broke into their dorm room and vandalized his roommate’s things. His roommate also happened to be the only black student on their floor. “Someone broke into the room and peed on his laptop, so they labeled it a hate crime,” recalls Michael Bishop, now a sophomore student. With zero tolerance for such criminal activity, the SMU PD took extensive measures to resolve the incident. Students on the corridor underwent DNA testing in attempt to match with that of the perpetrator, and Bishop’s roommate was reimbursed for his losses and moved to a new apartment on campus.

a few of the many ways the SMU Police Department works to keep our campus as safe as possible. But their efforts go beyond that, as Bishop found out his first semester at SMU. The department is comprised of 35 personnel, including 27 peace officers, who work around the clock shifts to uphold a safe campus environment. During the day, officers aim to be seen and heard on campus, providing assistance to both visitors and members of the SMU community. The flagpole, Hughes Trigg, and along Bishop Boulevard are just a few examples of where you can almost always count on seeing a squad car. “The student comes here as a young person about to go the way they want to go for the rest of their lives,” said Sergeant J.R.

SYMPOSIUM
Meet the colorful Dean Collins maria cross Contributing Writer mcross@smu.edu It’s 3 p.m. on a Friday, and Storey Hall is vacant. An occasional faculty member or student drifts through. Burgundy, tan and brown tones cover walls that hold portraits of distinguished graduates. Shelves full of books line the walls. Jennifer Collins walks in at 3:15 p.m., wearing a smile from ear to ear and a bright teal jacket. She’s returning from a meeting, one of the many she attends throughout the day. Her laugh, genuine and cheerful, fills the hall as she leads a reporter to her office. Collins represents the breath of fresh air the Dedman School of Law was looking for in hiring a dean. “She brings a fresh set of eyes,” said Nathan Cortez, associate professor and associate dean for research at Dedman Law.

Top places to take your parents this weekend Nick and Sam’s Steakhouse If you’ve been eating Taco Bell for months and feel the need to step it up now that mom and dad have arrived, you’re not alone. Nick and Sam’s Steakhouse is a popular spot for parent’s weekend dinner. This upscale Turtle Creek restaurant dishes out ribeye, sirloin, New York and more, each tender cut and topped with butter. It’d be an injustice to not take them to try a steak, Nick and Sam’s “Damn Good Fries,” duck fried rice, and desserts like Fruity Pebble Panacotta and white chocolate bread pudding.
Sangria tapas y bar Sangria Tapas Y Bar in Uptown is a little red-awninged spot off Knox/Henderson. This Meditteranean restaurant offers its namesake blood orange sangria all day, and mimosas, both for only $2. For brunch, try a glass of either with migas, huevos rancheros, sweet potato pancakes or vanilla French toast. If you’re taking your parents for dinner, have seafood – it’s the restaurant’s best. Order ceviche with plantain chips and avocado, scallops or octopus, if you’re determined to show your parents college has made you bold.

If your parents are the kale type, TrueFood Kitchen is the place to go. Start with a green juice and shiitake and lettuce cups. Butternut squash flatbread is a fascinating and healthy spin on pizza, and the quinoa burger topped with hummus, tzatziki and avocado is filling and a delicious blend of flavors. Curry and other rice bowls are equally good. Despite the menu’s healthconscious feel with organically farmed produce and gluten free options, they have an extensive cocktail and wine list. If you’re not into your mom’s latest health kick, order a mojito – a mint leaf is practically a vegetable, right?
Rise Number One is a French bistro in Inwood Village that serves the kind of food that looks too beautiful to eat. Try the Chariot de Fromages, if you want your waiter to wheel out a fabulous cart of fine French cheese. For a main course, choose a savory soufflé of truffle-infused mushroom, sundried tomato and pesto, or escargot, for a true aficionado. You must also try the mini baguettes with ham, Gruyere, and sweet butter, or the Nicoise salad topped with seared ahi. Not sold yet? Order your parents a strawberry, chocolate or Grand Marnier soufflé – it’s the best Dallas has to offer.
The Standard Pour is a superb way to introduce your parents to your Uptown life without actually taking them out. The restaurant and bar, nestled on a corner of McKinney Avenue, boasts old-fashioned brick walls and a bustling, candlelit atmosphere without being stuffy. The Standard Pour’s cocktails match well with the American appetizer like a giant salted pretzel or traditional bar nuts and freshly popped popcorn. For dinner, try the fried chicken with pickles and honey or a burger and sweet potato fries.

Therefore if we make it safe, the education part will take care of itself.” The reputation of SMU PD on campus is for the most part, is a good one, according to some students. “I think they’re here to keep us safe,” said junior Liz Meyer. “I feel like people appreciate them.” Becca Brady, senior class president for the student organization Ninteen11, also recognizes the department’s constant efforts. “I think they do a really great job during the daytime,” she said. “They’re always around and present. You can see them on just about every corner.” But when the sun goes down and classes are out, the campus dynamic changes, as does the objective for officers. Sgt. Tinsley notes that night shifts are a combination of campus security as well as a heightened concern for the well-being of students. But sometimes, their watchful eyes come off as too overbearing, say some students. “I do think they tend to harass kids, in a sense, with all the alcohol issues,” said Bishop, who now lives on campus in the Sigma Chi Fraternity house. Bishop cited the all-toofamiliar example of coming home from a night out and seeing an SMU PD officer posted at the

between selfishness and selfcare is that self-care leads to a support system of positive and encouraging friends that value themselves. Counter held a yoga class following the discussion titled "Say Yes to You" Thursday at Dedman Center in Studio 3. Elders said that we should accept our bodies and not have a negative relationship with food. "Life is full of pleasures," she said. "Food is one of
the greatest." She said we should stop counting calories and focus on obtaining the energy our body needs to work properly. If we think about food as fuel for our bodies, we will begin to appreciate just how wonderful our bodies are. The symposium provided valuable information about nutrition and the human body, encouraging students to see the importance of loving themselves.
front steps of his dorm building, questioning students and handing out citations. What is intended to be just another measure of student safety comes off more like entrapment. “They are definitely looking at that time of night for kids who are drunk,” said Bishop. “They’re trying to have it their way, get you the ticket, and they get the income or whatever for it, while you get a court date.” “I feel like people think they’re really overbearing,” first-year Alex Barrow said. “Whenever people go out drinking they’re always paranoid they’re going to get in trouble or something.” According to Sgt. Tinsley, however, cops don’t want to have to confront students who are drinking underage if they don’t have to. “If you don’t walk around with a red light over your head, we won’t talk to you,” he said. But it’s not about whether or not they want to. They have to, right? They have a mandatory quota to fill, right? Wrong. “There’s no quotas, and for a valid reason,” says Sgt. Tinsley, “You can’t set quotas because it’s a chargeable offense by Texas law.” In fact, while alcohol-related incidents may be one of the more common types of student violations, they are not the main concern for officers. What is may come as a surprise. “The main concern, the training force today, is preparing for an active shooter,” said Tinsley. That, and sexual assaults. Having an open campus that is
integrated into the surrounding community such that SMU does is a privilege, and SMU PD work hard to protect that and avoid risks at all costs. After all, the best crime prevention, according to the sergeant, is a uniformed officer in a marked squad car. So if SMU PD’s intention is simply keeping the community safe, why does the relationship between officers and some students seem distant at times? Meyer, who has never met an SMU officer, believes that distance could be solved if officers got out of their cars more often and interacted with students in non-incriminating situations. “In my hometown we had this one officer that was always at the school and would give speeches,” she said. “If they built up a rapport with students on campus, then maybe they would be more inclined to go to them for help.” And that goes both ways. Sgt. Tinsley makes a conscious effort to say “hi” to students, as he was a student at one time and even took some of his classes here at SMU. He encourages students not to be afraid, and say hello back. Because at the end of the day, SMU PD wants the school’s community and academics to flourish without having to worry about safety. “Every police officer here on campus is also a fireman, is also an EMT, a paramedic, is also a gardener, also takes care of the trees and the lights, we’re not just gun-toting police, out to get the bad guy,” said Sgt. Tinsley. “We’re out here to make the community work.”

‘Top Girls’ skillfully portrays struggles for women in the past blair croce Arts and Entertainment Editor bcroce@smu.edu As a woman, is a successful career worth losing relationships with family and friends? Is rising to the top of a company worth losing yourself ? These questions challenge the female cast in SMU’s production of the 1982 play “Top Girls.” Directed by the brilliant professor Rhonda Blair, the show begins with a dinner party hosted by Marlene (Morgan Garrett), a distinguished British businesswoman. Marlene’s guest list boasts an array of influential woman including historical figures such as the 19th century explorer Isabella Bird (Ariana Howell) and the Japanese concubine-turned-nun Lady Nijo (Heather Arney). Also joining Marlene at the table is Dull Gret (Kaysy Ostrom), a subject of a famous painting that portrays the depths of hell, a character from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, Patient Griselda (Alejandra Flores), and the mythical female Roman ruler, Pope Joan (Sarah Rutan). As the dinner unravels, these women share their tragic stories of sacrifice for power or sacrifice
for survival in a world dominated by men. Featuring outstanding monologues from the cast, this scene, through utilization of historical figures, traces women’s struggle for authority in society back in time and sets the stage for four subsequent acts centering on Marlene’s struggles in the 1980s. Acts two through five focus on Marlene’s climb up her company’s ladder and the day-to-day lives of her female employees trying to find meaning in a system where promotion seems impossible. The story takes place during Margaret Thatcher’s reign as the first female Prime Minister, which encourages the women of a brighter future even though their circumstances do not parallel Thatcher’s success. As the story unfolds, Marlene’s dedication to her career overpowers her reason in her relationships with Joyce, her cynical sister, and her niece, Angie. When Angie leaves home to live with her aunt, Marlene’s true colors peek through her composed and cordial exterior. The show ends with a flashback of Marlene visiting Joyce and Angie that spotlights a dispute between Marlene and Joyce over the choices Marlene has made
for power and the ramifications those defining decisions left behind. Even though Thatcher experienced widespread success as an influential woman, “Top Girls” shows what happens behind the curtain of one seemingly accomplished woman’s life. The direction from Blair and the cast’s performances shined in this portrayal of “Top Girls.” Rutan was especially powerful as Pope Joan and nailed her performance as Joyce as well. The disagreement between Joyce and Marlene was heartbreakingly raw and impactful thanks to solid performances from Rutan and Garrett. Scenic Designer Sarah Brown and Costume Designer Hunter Dowell impressed as well and captured the feel of the early 80s through the minimal yet characteristic set and careful clothing choices. You can see “Top Girls” at the Margo Jones Theater in the Owen Arts Center tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $7 for students and staff and can be purchased at the Meadows ticket office or online at meadows.smu.edu.

“Dear White People” successfully takes on serious topics with humour
Romance film ‘The Best of Me’ tanks Christina cox Managing Editor clcox@smu.edu That’s right, ladies. Another Nicholas Sparks book has been turned into a movie. “The Best of Me” tells the love story of two high school sweethearts who, after 21 years, reunite in their small hometown. Dawson, played by James Marsden, and Amanda, played by Michelle Monaghan, come together to plan the funeral of their mutual friend and reignite their love. Like every Nicholas Sparks book, fate has torn the two apart, but the two continue to love each other throughout the years. There’s a lot that goes on in between the reunions, crying, laughing, kissing, etc. that happens in the film; however, it is all predictable.
Halfway through the film I found myself turning over to my friend and betting that I could tell her how the rest of the movie would play out. She laughed because she, too, found the film to be melodramatic and unsurprising. (Our predictions were both completely accurate, too). The plot begins slowly, informing audiences of the history of the couple in both their current and past lives, thanks to some flashbacks thrown in between scenes. Dawson is the typical dark and mysterious type who speaks few words, enjoys gardening, works on an oil rig (where he saves a few lives here and there), and works a mechanic. Please make him more far-fetched, Nicholas Sparks, I dare you. Amanda cannot get over her
first love and continues to think of him throughout her life. After one day together, the two basically get back together because both are unhappy without the other. But, of course, family troubles from both sides create some difficulties for the duo. I don’t want to give away the rest of the movie, but you can guess where it goes. Critics agree as well. The film has a whopping 8 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It is also the lowest opening weekend for the author at $10.2 million. Sparks’ more popular movies like “Dear John” opened at $30 million and “The Lucky One” opened at $23 million. Maybe the film will perform better once it goes to DVD, but, in the meantime, “The Best of Me” will continue disappoint audiences and critics.

Students and faculty from SMU, Paul Quinn College and Austin College gathered Wednesday evening at the Angelika Film Center for an advanced screening of “Dear White People,” a proactive satire of modern-day race relations in a supposed “post-racial” America. “Dear White People,” winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent, focuses on both the collective and unique experiences of four black students at a predominately white Ivy League institution. The lead character, film student Sam White, hosts an independent radio show called “Dear White People” that bluntly discusses the covert, and often overt, racism on the campus of Brighton University. The film intelligently tackles the taboo issues of race, stereotype and identity headfirst with sharpness, wit and humor. Laughter was not all the viewing yielded. After the screening the film led to a very real and serious discussion of race relations on college campuses led by Krys Boyd, host of KERA’s two-hour discussion program, “Think.” Justin Simien, writer and director of the film, was a member of the panel along with a number of student leaders and academics from each of the participating schools. “I’m doing this movie because I want to tell a truth. This is a lie
that tells the truth and if that truth is going to be complicated and make people squirm and make me uncomfortable… then I’m going to do that, because those are the kinds of experiences as a storyteller and a film goer that have changed my life,” said Simien. Many SMU students found striking similarities between the campus culture of Brighton University, the fictional predominately white university that was the setting of the film, and the real campus culture of SMU. “In a lot of ways they were parallel, somewhat identical. The ideologies, the perspective of the student population, both minority and majority, a lot of things overlapped in the film that I see on a daily basis at SMU,” said D’Marquis Allen, junior and president of the Association of Black Students. The lively discussion was without a doubt stimulated by the diverse crowd, comprised of members of the Dallas community and students from the three area campuses, all united by the desire to not only begin dialogues about racism in America, but also find ways to end it. The evening, hosted by SMU’s Arts + Urbanism Initiative in partnership with Paul Quinn College and Austin College, is just one manifestation of a joint initiative between the three institutions to host contemporary conversations about racial justice and human rights issues. Darryl Ratcliff, community engagement associate for the
The Nicholas Sparks book-turned-movie fails to impress bored audiences.
National Center for Arts and Research Initiative on Arts + Urbanism, felt that the joining together of three area schools was vital in order to foster large and lasting change not only on the campuses, but in the Dallas community. “If you really want to talk about what it takes to make a movement, for us it’s going to take an area. It’s not just going to be one school, it’s going to be multiple schools working together and that’s an exciting proposition for the future. “The goal was to try and facilitate those interactions more and more and that’s really communication, organizing, and trust that gets built,” said Ratcliff. The dialogue didn’t stop at the panel discussion. Just as one would suspect in the millennial age many students took to social media after the film to express their feelings about what they witnessed. Mercedes Fulbright, a graduate of University of Texas at Arlington gave her reaction in a Facebook status. It read, “Identity vs. Self has been my struggle as a college student and Presently as a young professional. Grappling with two worlds. Martin vs. Malcolm battling within my heart. ‘Dear White People’ speaks this truth of identity for so many people. More than just a race relations movie. Hold up a mirror after viewing it and reflect. Justin Siemien is genius.” “Dear White People” opens in theaters nationwide Friday, Oct. 24 and is currently playing at the Angelika Film Center.

SMU football takes on Memphis Family Weekend Patrick Engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu SMU football plays its second home game when it hosts the University of Memphis Saturday at 11 a.m. as part of the Family Weekend festivities. The Mustangs came into their game against Cincinnati last weekend with a lot of momentum after putting up 24 points against East Carolina two weeks earlier. Beating the Bearcats seemed realistic, but instead they suffered a deflating 41-3 loss, dropping their win-loss record to 0-6 and 0-2 in American Athletic Conference play. The game was close until Cincinnati scored two touchdowns in the final 1:38 of the first half to take a 28-3 lead into halftime. The second touchdown was a 27-yard return of a Garret Krstich fumble. Krstich had his worst game as SMU’s starting quarterback, throwing for 172 yards and committing three turnovers against a poor Cincinnati defense. Backup Matt Davis played some snaps at the end of the game, and SMU Interim Head Coach Tom Mason said

Tulsa defeats No. 34 SMU 1-0 at Hurricane Soccer Stadium Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu SMU’s nine-game undefeated streak came to an end after losing 1-0 to Tulsa Wednesday at the Hurricane Soccer and Track Stadium in the American Athletic Conference action. Tulsa’s record improves to 8-51 and 4-2 in league play, while the Mustangs’ drops to 8-4-2 and 3-12 in conference play. In the 21st minute, Tulsa’s Quinn Starker found the back of
the net from inside the six-yard box for the match winner. It was Starker’s first tally of the season. The Mustangs had two opportunities to even the score before the end of the first half. The first was set up by first-year Colten Habecker who sent a ball in for senior Damian Rosales. Rosales fired a shot from inside the 18-yard box, but it bounced off the near post and was deflected out of bounds – setting up SMU corner. SMU took the corner with seconds left on the clock but were
unable to convert before time expired in the half. In the second half, first-year Jared Rice had another shot at an equalizer when his 40-yard shot was confused for a cross by Tulsa’s keeper Jake McGuire. McGuire managed to recover and make the save to preserve Tulsa’s one goal lead. Redshirt first-year Michael Nelson did everything he could to keep the Mustangs in the game and finished with a season-high eight saves. Rosales and first-year Mauro
yards per game, good for 27th in the country. Four Memphis players have at least 170 rushing yards. Fifteen of the Tigers’ 26 total touchdowns have come on the ground. “We just have to understand that all we need to do is execute our assignments [on defense],” Mason said. “We don’t have to do anything special [to stop them].” Memphis has forced multiple takeaways in all but one game this season, including four against Ole Miss. Linebacker Tank Jakes leads the AAC with six sacks. Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch has played well this year after a rough first-year season in 2013. He has thrown nine touchdowns after throwing for nine all of last year. He also has six rushing scores and has taken only seven sacks. SMU and Memphis are former Conference USA members who joined the American Athletic Conference last season. Saturday’s game will be the seventh all-time meeting between them. The series is tied at three wins apiece, with SMU winning the last three matchups. Their last meeting was in 2013, when Mustangs beat the Tigers 34-29 in Memphis.

Athletes can be educated UNC created fake classes to benefit student athletes for nearly 20 years
Courtesy of University of North Carolina
The University of North Carolina admits to academic fraud by creating fake classes for athletes.
The University of North Carolina admitted to committing academic fraud for athletes Wednesday. These phantom classes were created under the AfroAmerican studies department. The goal of the shadow curriculum was to help athletes with GPAs that were borderline or below the 2.0 requirement stay afloat. According to The New York Times, more than 3,100 students, 47.6 percent of them athletes, were enrolled in and received credit for the phantom classes. The amount of effort students had to put in to pass the course were extremely low. Only one paper was required to be turn in all semester. In most cases, the papers were plagiarized or had little concrete content. The professors in charge of the classes would give the papers A’s or B’s despite the lack of effort and accuracy regarding the assignment. The malpractice and moral wrongdoings by the former department head, former office administrator within the African and Afro-American Studies departments and counselors went on for 18 years. This is not the first time UNC has been under fire for helping out student athletes and their GPAs. In November 2009, a multitude of academic counselors were charged with augmenting grades for football players. The nonexistent classes run by the African studies department granted A’s and B’s to students taking the courses. The administrator, Deborah Crowder, who originally set up and run the fake classes retired, supposedly ending the long-running academic fraud at Chapel Hill. The counselors gathered in a meeting with the UNC football coaches and had to confess that the classes played a “large role in keeping underprepared and/ or unmotivated players eligible to play.” The following is an excerpt

that was obtained during the conference: “We put them in classes that met degree requirements in which ... they didn’t go to class ... they didn’t have to take notes, have to stay awake ... they didn’t have to meet with professors ... they didn’t have to pay attention or necessarily engage with the material,” a slide in the presentation said. “THESE NO LONGER EXIST!” UNC professor Julius Nyang’oro took over after Crowder’s leave. He decided to continue the shadow curriculum and added six more classes so more athletes could enroll. The report uncovering the eighteen year scandal was conducted by Kenneth L. Wainstein, a former general counsel at the F.B.I. and partner at the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. I have three words for the academic counselors and professors who have condoned this level of academic fraud to ensue for almost two decades. Shame on you. The fact that the African and Afro-American Studies department got caught once already should have been a sign to call it quits. Moreover, if the department knew they had no intention to eliminate the fake classes, they should have not mustered up the courage to apologize and admit their wrongdoings to the public. As a faculty member for UNC, how can you choose to pursue a career in education, assuming your passion and goals are to better the future of America by reaching out and helping students, and allow to give them, and yourself, the
easy way out? I understand that the academic counselors and professors that chose to partake in the shadow curriculum were trying to help struggling athletes so that they could keep their scholarships and play football. However, isn’t a part of attending university is to pursue a degree of higher education? Even if your goal is to end up playing for the NFL, NBA, WNBA, etc., why should you cheat yourself of gaining knowledge when it’s right in front of you? I get that UNC is a heavily emphasized sports university. Jobs as professional athletes are attainable to them. But by focusing so heavily in this profession, as competitive and narrow as it is, nothing, and I mean nothing, can replace intelligence. If you’re able to make it in the professional leagues. I commend you. You are much more athletic than the majority of the world (including me). But for you to be that great in sports, you must possess discipline, perseverance, drive and a natural disposition for that sport. If the academic counselors and professors told student athletes that possessed those qualities to transfer them over to their studies in order to meet that 2.0 GPA requirement, then maybe the students could have earned their own A’s and B’s rather than forging them. This would have resulted in not only more motivated students, but ones who are genuinely learning and gaining a fuller college experience and education that they earned. In turn, there would not have been any shadiness from the African and Afro-American Studies Departments, academic counselors and professors. There would not have been a need for a shadow curriculum. And there would not have been academic fraud at UNC.

Hong Kong Umbrella Movement demonstrates the necessity for democracy in country Democracy is the hinge by which a free society functions. If the people of a nation do not have the power to select their leaders, politicians will largely ignore the public in favor of special interests. Presently, Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement is a display of massive civil disobedience for democracy. Driven by Hong Kong’s youth population, it intends to demonstrate public dissent against the interference with Hong Kong’s autonomous democratic election process. The city of Hong Kong was conjoined with the People’s Republic of China after Britain gave up its lasting colonial rule over the territory in 1997. When Hong Kong and its 7 million residents became Chinese citizens, they retained the precedence declared by the Basic Law during British rule, effectively resisting a communist takeover of the territory. The law also established human rights for its citizenry that the rest of China never enjoyed, including: the right to protest, freedom of press and of economy, and a crucial clause that purports “universal suffrage” as a future goal. The current political system in Hong Kong, however, is moving in the opposite direction of democracy. CY Leung is the current top public official in Hong Kong, and like every chief executive before 1997, a committee of 1,200 members of Bejing special interests nominated him. The committee is viewed by the Umbrella Movement as a vice grip China has on any hopes for a democratic political system. It elects leaders whose policies reflect the business interests of Bejing. In a recent interview that has gone viral, he admits his office’s disregard for the protest’s

ideals, and claims that their ongoing presence only serves to hurt Hong Kong. One of the biggest motivations for the protest is to inhibit the incredibly vast economic inequality gap in the Hong Kong population. The gap is the largest in the developed world, and the Umbrella Movement views Bejing’s political control as a direct cause of this severe inequality. The protest seeks direct nomination, as this will allow those in poverty to voice their concerns politically, but Leung and China warn such a change will threaten Hong Kong’s position as a global center of international finance. Fixing the income inequality in Hong Kong will require much action beyond direct nomination, and no doubt if the movement wins out, the territory will endure a period of economic flux. However, such changes would be steps of social progress despite the economic drawbacks. The student led protest is grounded in democratic ideals, and they want their voices to prompt change in Hong Kong’s political system, so the people rather than profit would be recognized as political priorities.

The process behind getting a tattoo: how to decide on a design, placement and artist So you’re getting a tattoo. It’s something you’ve wanted for years now. You went back and forth for a while, contemplating whether or not it was for you. You weighed out the pros and cons. You thought of the social and professional repercussions that may arise from it. But in the end, you have suppressed the urge not to get a tattoo for too damn long, and now you decide that you are ready. With any tattoo, there are three key things that you must do research for: creating the right design, finding the right placement and working with the right artist for your visual piece of art to come alive (in the best way possible). Let’s break down the process that occurs with each given component when getting a tattoo.
Typically, if you want a tattoo, usually you have an idea of what you want to get. It could be something meaningful, such as a profound quote, symbol or personal design you’ve conjured up. It could be something that you just find aesthetically pleasing. With the physical art, you need to decide if you want it in black or color. You need to decide if you want it to look realistic or abstract. It is crucial that you not only love this design, but know the dimensions and coloring behind it.
Now that you have your designated design ready,

you have to find a place where it will reside on your body. People find this to be a difficult part. You have to decide if you want it to be super visible. Find out how painful it is to get a tattoo in said location. You may want a more discreet location so that it’s not as noticeable (to your future bosses, parents etc.). If your tattoo design is large, you may want to pick a spot that has a large surface area (back/thigh/ arm); if your tattoo design is small, you may choose a place that is smaller (wrist/finger/rib cage). You control whether you want this piece of art to be exposed or subtle. Remember it’s your choice. 3. Artist This is arguably the most important part. All this work and prior research you’ve done for your tattoo will be wasted if you have a shoddy tattoo artist. Look up places. Read the reviews (more than Yelp! please). Schedule a consultation. Make sure you’re comfortable talking to the artist and say exactly what you want. Don’t be intimidated. You’re the one getting inked. Discuss pricing in advanced and compare with prospective artists. In the case of tattoos, spending a little extra money now will pay off when your tattoo looks dope. (It’s also permanently on your body). If you follow these guidelines, you should feel a little more at ease about getting your first tattoo. Remember, planning and being explicit about what you want are the two key points. Good luck!

received her J.D. in 1991. “I confess: I was one of the people who went to law school because I didn’t know what else to do, ” said Collins. Collins journey after law school led to numerous positions, including a clerkship within the U.S. Court of Appeals, an attorney-adviser for the Department of Justice and an assistant attorney in the U.S. attorney’s office, working mostly in the homicide section. Just before accepting her first dean’s position at SMU, Collins served as vice provost and professor of law at Wake Forest University’s School of Law in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. While there, she co-authored a book, titled

Among the pieces we were able to see were examples of pictures taken by famous photographers back in the 20th century. Some funny photographs were taken with the first cameras ever used. Our preview tour was courtesy of the exhibit’s curator, Anne E. Peterson. She believes that SMU will eventually receive all of the exhibit’s materials, as the Wilgus couple recognizes SMU as a teaching institution. Peterson sees this exhibit as the “curatorial highlight of her life” and wants students
to know how valuable this collection is. “People will come here to use this, because it’s not available everywhere,” she said. The collection will be showcased in the upcoming exhibit titled “Defined By Light: Photography's First 75 Years.” The exhibit’s opening and reception was Thursday in the DeGolyer Library, just in time to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the announcement of photography. The exhibition will be open until Dec. 19.

Criminal Justice and The Challenge of Family Ties.” “She has serious, high-level practice experience and is a serious, high–level scholar,” said Cortez. “We were lucky to get her.” Collins said her experience has prepared her for one of the biggest challenges she’ll face as dean: the still bleak legal job market. “It’s a very tough time to be a law school dean, and there’s not a law school in the country that isn’t facing these same challenges,” said Collins, adding that law is not immune to recession. “I knew it would be tough.” Although Dedman law students haven’t really experienced the lousy job market that other law students might, fear is inevitable.

Collins is originally from Massachusetts. She calls her move to Dallas an easy choice, declaring Texas “one of the most exciting places” in the country to live. She said the innovation and excitement she encounters throughout the city reinforces her choice each day. She also doesn’t mind the many great restaurants in the city.

Perkins’ religious leaders. “The resources at Perkins specifically, as well as its context as a leading school of theology related to Southern Methodist University, position us well to help develop leaders – both clergy and laity – through spiritual growth and personal development,” Whitfield said. “Part of what I hope to facilitate is an exploration of ways to strengthen these connections.” Whitfield came to Perkins in 2012 as a bishop in residence. Before coming to SMU, Whitfield served as bishop of the New Mexico and Northwest Texas Conferences, superintendent of the Batesville and Fayetteville Districts in the Arkansas Conference UMC. He has also served as a member of several boards including the Board of Trustees at Hendrix College.
it all? “It’s an ongoing challenge,” Collins said while laughing, something she does often. “I have no easy or obvious solutions.” The afternoon is winding down, and there’s one last request for the dean: name a book, movie, song or quote that has inspired you. A bit stumped, Collins reveals a few, but her uncertainty is noticeable. Time is up, and she must return to her dean duties. It’s 10:20 p.m. the same Friday. The sound of an email notification fills the reporter’s room. Who could it be at this time of night? Then, admiration sets in. It’s Dean Collins.

Check out Jan Term 2015 courses which are also visible in my.SMU Enrollment opens through my.SMU for ALL students on Monday, November 3, at 12:01 a.m. WHAT IS JAN TERM? January Term provides a unique opportunity to continue pursuing your academic goals by focusing on a single course in a smaller class setting away from the main campus. Catch-up, make-up or get ahead before the start of the spring term! WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Any motivated student in good standing is eligible to apply. This is a rigorous undertaking and requires commitment, concentration and energy to successfully complete 3 credit hours in 8 days. Are you up to the challenge? WHERE AND WHEN DO CLASSES MEET? In 2015, there are 39 courses in Plano, 11 in Taos, and one fully online course (starting 12/10). Some courses meet UC/GEC requirements and some have prerequisites. Classes start on Monday, January 5 and conclude on Wednesday, January 14 (no weekend classes), and meet for 6 hours per day, between 9 am and 4 pm. HOW DO I ENROLL AND BY WHEN? Meet with your advisor to select your Jan Term course and several alternates. Enrollment through my.SMU begins for ALL students on Monday, November 3, at 12:01 am (regardless of your spring enrollment appointment). Priority deadline is Friday, November 21, after which time some courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND WHEN IS TUITION DUE? Jan Term offers a reduced tuition rate of $1,211 per credit hour ($3,633 for a 3-hour course). No extra fees apply, with the exception of travel and room/board for courses in Taos. Payment is due by Friday, December 19, to avoid a late fee. ARE THERE SCHOLARSHIPS? DOES FINANCIAL AID APPLY? A limited number of partial tuition assistance scholarships and most SMU merit scholarships are available in pro-rated amounts. Those receiving Need-Based Grant or Opportunity Awards may be eligible for $150 per credit hour; however, Federal and State funds are not available. Contact your financial aid advisor for details and see website for application forms which are due by Friday, November 21.
