President’s Scholars pose with professors and employees of the Bush Institute after touring the institute Friday.

President’s Scholars tour Bush Institute Katelyn Hall Contributing Writer khall@smu.edu Most SMU students know the George W. Bush Library is on campus. Some know there is also a museum. But few know much about the adjoining Bush Institute.

“I actually didn’t know at all what they did, so I learned a lot coming here,” said Haley Stutts, a first-year from Atlanta.

Stutts and 10 other first-year President’s Scholars toured the Bush Institute Friday. The group learned about what the center does and how students can get involved.

The Bush Institute is the privately funded sector of the Bush Center. Whereas the Bush Library receives federal funding and focuses on sharing history, the Institute is operated through private donations and engages people with the future.

“There’s a lot going on here — and there’s a lot in the works,” said Harold Stanley, the associate provost who oversees the President’s Scholars program.

Stanley, program coordinator Martha Starke and Joe Kobylka, SMU professor and faculty sponsor to the President’s Scholars, joined the first-years on their tour.

Kobylka, who teaches political science, sees the Institute as a great resource to students looking to get involved in ideas they are passionate about.

“I think the Institute offers students a really terrific opportunity to get involved in the broad range of issues of importance, not only in SMU, but in Dallas and worldwide,” Kobylka said.

The Bush Institute has six primary branches of initiatives including economic growth, education reform, global health, human freedom, military service and women’s initiative.

“One of the greatest things about working here is that everyone wants to do everything,”

said Patrick Kobler, who led the tour and works in the education reform initiative of the Institute.

Each of these branches has several programs underneath it, making the Institute a dynamic place for conversation.

For example, the Military Service Initiative has many events that benefit veterans like the Warrior Open, an annual golf tournament, and the W100K, a 100-kilometer bike race where wounded veterans join President George Bush.

The Women’s Initiative includes endeavors like the Afghan Women’s Project, which publicizes the hardships and triumphs of Afghan women and draws attention to organizations that can help such women.

Stutts, a biochemistry and health and society major, found this area the most interesting.

“I loved hearing about the women’s initiative, and I really want to hear more about how I can help them, through internships or otherwise,” Stutts said.

Manny Rangel, a statistics major from Fort Worth, was drawn to the education reform area of the Institute. Rangel spent the past two summers working with the education program Breakthrough, and would like to get involved with the Institute’s education programming.

“I found interesting all of their different initiatives and how they are trying to improve the world,” he said.

In striving to lead these initiatives, the Institute is a nonpartisan organization.

“Even though we are led by a former Republican president, the center is not about politics, it’s about progress,” Kobler said.

The Institute wants students to get involved in these nonpolitical initiatives by attending events, spreading the word, volunteering and interning at the center.

“We’re really looking at how we can partner with SMU and its student body more,” Kobler said.

Students can learn more about what the Institute does and how they can get involved at BushCenter.org.

SMU defeats TCU in season opener CHRISTOPHER SAUL Contributing Writer csaul@smu.edu SMU’s men’s basketball team started the season with an eightpoint win over metroplex rival Texas Christian University Friday night, 69-61.

The Mustangs got off to a hot start; they had a double digit lead for a significant portion of the first half.

By halftime, though, the Horned Frogs whittled away at the Mustang’s lead and went into the locker room down 30-29, due in part to their quality shooting from behind the three-point line.

The Mustangs caught a blow on the chin at the beginning of the second half, as TCU went on a shooting spree to put Head Coach Larry Brown and company down by more than five.

After the initial onslaught, SMU recovered and went on a run of their own, accruing a double-digit lead about midway through the second half.

A furious last-minute effort from the Horned Frogs closed the deficit, but was not enough to defeat the Mustangs.

The win marks the third-straight year in a row that SMU has been victorious on the hardcourt against TCU. Although beating TCU seems to be routine for SMU, it was the beginning of a new era for many of the players wearing Harvard red and Yale blue.

Illinois State University transfer Nic Moore played his first game in two years after sitting out per NCAA transfer rules.

The point guard had a stellar night: he scored a team-high 13 points on the night with eight

rebounds and four assists.

First-year Keith Fraizer’s debut did not disappoint the crowd.

He had 11 points and shot 60 percent from behind the arc.

“There isn’t a shot he thinks he cant make. As soon as he walks in the area code, he’s ready to let it go,” Brown said at the postgame press conference.

“For him to play as well as we know he can, he’s gotta learn to guard, he’s gotta learn time to score… there’s a lot of things he needs to get better at, but he comes every day and tries. He just wants to play.”

Brown said he wished, however, that the big man play would have been more dominant.

“Our big guys did not take advantage of their lack of size,” he said.

“Our big guys played small. We played Colorado and Texas Tech,

and our big guys dominated; we didn’t dominate tonight. Cannen Cunningham was the only big guy that played big for us.”

One of the most exciting attractions for SMU basketball fans did not even have to suit up to cause a stir. SMU five-star commit Emmanuel Mudiay made an appearance at the game. Once the student section realized that he was in attendance, it exploded into chants of his last name and hit a fever pitch when the high school senior stood to acknowledge them.

The Mustang’s next home game is tonight at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, due to renovation at Moody Coliseum.

The Mustangs will face off against the University of Rhode Island Rams, who are coming off of a victory over the University of Maine. The Rams beat the Mustangs in convincing fashion last year.

Talent showcased at Diwali celebration Paige Kerley Contributing Writer pkerley@smu.edu As the lights dimmed in Hughes-Trigg Theater Saturday night, the packed house jittered with excitement. Men, women and children of all cultures chatted happily and waved to friends. Cell phone cameras flashed throughout the room. But when the theater went dark and the spotlight turned to the emcees, the crowd cheered. The celebration had begun.

The SMU Indian Students Association hosted the 33rd Annual Diwali celebration Saturday. The night included performances, Indian cuisine and dancing. “[Diwali] started out as a religious festival but now it’s gained cultural importance throughout India and the Indian diaspora throughout the world,” Student Body Vice President Jaywin Malhi said.

The five-day celebration is significant for different reasons for different religions. Hindus, Jains and Sikhs all have ties to Diwali.

It’s common for even different geographical sects of the same religion to have different reasons to celebrate. However, all forms share the common thread of celebrating light and victory by the deities.

To celebrate Diwali in the home, many families clean their homes, fill their house with candles, make and share sweets and possibly say prayers. Some families feature intricate colorful patterns called rangoli outside of their home.

The tradition of firecrackers,

however, is one that transcends geographic and religious boundaries. Malhi said Diwali is “kind of like New Year’s.” He said fireworks and firecrackers are a big part of the festivities for each household worldwide.

“There are no codes in India, like ‘you can’t do fireworks here’, so it’s just crazy,” Malhi joked.

Unfortunately, Dallas does have fire codes so celebrants did not shoot off fireworks in the Student Center Theater Saturday evening. Instead, the colorful, shimmering acts lit up the stage and fueled the crowd’s spirit.

The evening’s show contained eight acts — a mix of elaborate singing, dancing, and a fashion show finale. SMU ISA did not limit the show’s participation to the SMU population; some performers were

from the surrounding community.

About half of the people at the Diwali celebration were members of the Dallas community, not just students. For example, participants in the fashion show wore intricate, jewel-toned clothing by local design company LeChic Designs.

The two hour show was sprinkled with humorous banter by the emcees, talented performers, and enthusiastic clapping and singing along from the audience.

Audience members Sarah Lea and Hannah Kirst were a few of the hundreds that were dazzled by the performances. Lea noted that the SMU Bhangra team’s dance was her favorite.

The diversity of the performers and audience reflected the holiday’s universal message of celebrating.

“This event really brings people

together,” Malhi said. “There’s something about food, there’s something about dancing that people just shed their differences and start enjoying stuff together.”

The crowd contributed to an electric community atmosphere.

The show was followed by dinner and dancing in the HughesTrigg Ballroom. ISA Secretary Myra Noshahi thought participating in Diwali was incredible.

“We had a really great exec and a really great ISA in general so we got it all done, had an amazing turnout, and we’re really happy about it,” Noshahi said.

ISA President Sherin John thought overall the event was a success due to the large turnout of roughly 500 people.

“We hope they’ll come back next year,” she said.

Fad diets are bad diets: drinking meals is dangerous Mehreen Mazhar Contributing Writer mmazhar@smu.edu Look around on campus, see it in stores, flip through Vogue and browse Pinterest: the latest craze, juice cleanses, is everywhere.

A juice cleanse is a meal replacement program that consists of consuming a variety of fruit and vegetable juices over the course of several days.

Juice cleanses can be done at home, like the DIY style showcased on Pinterest, or through a high-end company program which usually includes approximately five juices for about $65 per day.

For juice companies, advertising and ease of product use is crucial. The key term “cleanse” or “detox” implies to consumers that there’s something “dirty” that needs to be removed. It gives the juice cleanse a beneficial, medical pretense that consumers leech on to.

Juice programs are constantly being shipped nationally and companies are only continuing to expand their transport capabilities.

The task to take one on becomes as easy as simply opening the box or the glass jar.

Unfortunately for healthy bodies everywhere, the advertising works.

Numerous companies profit

and expand off of this dangerous habit. Pick any company: BluePrint, Cooler Cleanse, Life Juice or Organic Avenue; all of them claim to guide consumers toward a healthier lifestyle tailored to the individual.

Other franchises are jumping on the bandwagon as well.

Starbucks recently added juices and smoothies to its main menu in order to offer customers a healthy option suitable for a diet. Fruit and veggie juices are popping up everywhere.

Even the most fit, A-list celebrities can be seen toting around an expensive, glass bottle of their “day seven” juice.

Celebrities use their blogs and television interviews to boast about the benefits they see after a juice cleanse.

Salma Hayek, co-founder of Cooler Cleanse, claims she is “making a commitment to [her] health and hitting the reset

button” by committing to a juice cleanse.

Hayek also brags that she “always loses weight.” Celebrities’ public approval of juice diets only increases the appeal for desperate bodies.

In a society that criticizes a mere one-pound gain, it is no wonder that juice cleanses continue to sell despite all the false claims consumers buy into.

Juicers take on cleanses in order to lose weight, and, while most juice cleanses claim to help consumers shed pounds fast, this is not entirely true.

An article from U.S. News breaks down the facts: a quick and easy way to lose water weight is to use up all the glycogen stored in the body.

By consuming a low-calorie diet, glycogen stores quickly vanish without being restored.

A juice cleanse is low-calorie, dropping the body’s water weight

in as little as three to four days.

Voila! There goes 10 pounds.

Is this effort significant?

Not really.

The moment the juice cleanse is over and the body gets its hands on food consisting of actual substance, the weight reappears.

While most customers look to a juice cleanse for weight loss, others appreciate its “detoxifying effects.”

Juice cleanse companies advertise their products cleverly as quick fixes designed to reverse the damage from weekend-long calorie benders.

“Don’t ever stress about those little bacon cheeseburger attacks,” states the website of Nekter Juice Bar, a California company.

Companies look to profit from their clients’ capability to cheat occasionally, encouraging customers to turn to a juice cleanse to detox, then “retox.”

However there is no accurate,

- Give yourself a variety of food options: Eating the same food for lunch might get boring and cause you to diverge from your diet.

make your diet easier to follow.

- Create a schedule: Keeping meals and snacks at the same time each day will

factual basis for this claim, and companies fail to specify which toxins their regimen is purported to eliminate.

The body already has toxin removers: the liver, the intestines and the kidney. Health Magazine notes that juice cleanses “don’t generally support optimal function of the body’s built-in ‘detox organs.’”

A juice cleanse isn’t going to detoxify the body; striving for this

- Small portions: When eating out, see if you can get that grilled chicken entree in a half portion size to stop yourself from overeating.

effect does more harm than good.

Consuming a pure, liquid diet is not the healthy way to lose weight, nor is it the most effective.

Common sense should tell consumers that the body needs more than blended up fruits and vegetables to function in a healthy manner.

Even though juice diets appear fast and easy, packaged in trendy Mason jars on Pinterest, don’t buy into it.

Juice cleanses push the body into starvation mode which is unhealthy.

Huskies hound SMU out of conference tournament Matthew Costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu

Garrett Gilbert (11) passed for 403 yards with two touchdowns in Saturday’s 28-25 loss to Cincinatti.

Mistakes doom Mustangs to second AAC defeat Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu Garrett Gilbert was unable to lead another fourth quarter comeback as The University of Cincinati capitalized on a number of SMU mistakes on their way to a 28-25 victory Saturday.

Chase Hover missed a pair of field goals for the Mustangs.

A holding call took a touchdown off the board, there were two crucial drops that stopped two seperate Mustangs drives, and there were two awful punts (if you can call them punts).

The cherry on top of all the misfires, was the targeting penalty against SMU on their onside kick attempt.

Gilbert just finished leading SMU down the field to make it

best defense in the nation.

It was Gilbert’s seventh 300yard passing game of the season and his fourth straight.

He also recorded his fifth straight multi-touchdown game.

SMU receivers Darius Joseph (103), Keenan Holman (142) and Jeremy Johnson (102) combined for 347 marking the first time in program history that the team had three 100-yard receivers.

Hover made one of his three field goal attempts, missing from 48, 34 yards out but connecting from 24.

He is now 14 of 17 on field goals this season.

First-year return man JaBryce Taylor was injured on a kickoff return in the second quarter and was carted off the field and taken to a hospital in an ambulance.

The Mustangs return to Ford Stadium this week and will take on the Connecticut Huskies at 2:00 p.m.

a three-point game with 3:27 left in the game, when the Mustangs elected to try to recover an onside kick.

What resulted was a Cincinnati recovery and a targeting penalty against SMU. The penalty results in the ejection of the guilty player, but before the ejection takes place the play is reviewed by officials.

Upon review, officials determined that there was no targeting on the play.

However, the 15-yard penalty stood because a penalty cannot be overturned.

As a result, Cincinnati took over well inside of SMU territory and iced the game.

Brendon Kay lead Cincinnati with 299 yards on 27 of 32 passes, with two touchdown and two interceptions.

Quick Hits

Women’s Basketball The 2013-14 season has just begun and it already appears that the SMU Mustangs (1-0) are back on track from a season ago after defeating the Grambling State Tigers 87-65 Sunday.

Led by preseason allconference player Keena Mays’ 22 points, the Mustangs had

little trouble holding onto a big lead after halftime against the Tigers, going up by as much as 26 midway through the second half.

Mays was the team’s focal point on offense but SMU had several strong contributors, including junior forward Destynee Hives-McCray posting

the season’s first double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Akil Simpson also started out strongly with 15 points and nine rebounds of her own.

Next up for last year’s regular season Conference USA champs is rival TCU at the Curtis Cullwell Center in Garland Wednesday.

Volleyball Despite a team-high 13 kills from sophomore outside hitter Cailin Bula, the SMU Mustangs (17-9 overall, 9-4 in the American Athletic Conference) lost 3-1 and were unable to hand the University of Louisville Cardinals (18-7 overal, 13-0 in the AAC) their first conference loss.

Early on, the Mustangs gave Louisville everything it could

handle, coming back from a 23-18 deficit to get within one point before the Cardinals finished off the opener, 25-23.

SMU was able to take the second set 25-22, and showed the leaders of the AAC that they were in for a fight.

The team totaled 19 errors to Louisville’s 22, and also had two more blocks, but a .160 attack percentage was unable

to threaten the Cardinals.

Louisville went on to take the next two sets by a combined score of 50-34 and send the Mustangs back home with their fourth conference loss.

The Mustangs host Temple University at 7 p.m. Friday inside the Dedman Center.

With a flurry of scores in the second half, the University of Connecticut Huskies (102-5, 4-0-4 in the American Athletic Conference) finished off the SMU Mustangs (3-122, 2-4-2 in AAC) men’s soccer team’s first season in the new conference, 5-0.

The score seemed relatively manageable coming out of halftime for the Mustangs who were only down by one on a Nicholas Zuniga score just before the midway point.

SMU kept the shots close, only allowing two more to UConn than they gathered at 7-5 and actually accrued more corner kicks in the first half than the Huskies did all game.

In the second half, nothing seemed to go right for the Mustangs, who were held to just two shots on goal as opposed to UConn’s 11.

Not much time ticked off the clock before the second Huskie goal found the back of the SMU net, this one from Cyle Larin in the 55th minute.

Larin scored another 12 minutes after that, while teammates George Fochive and Allando Matheson scored the last two respectively to ice the game.

Coming off of a double-digit win season, the Mustangs were unable to consistently get the kind of production on the offensive side of the ball this season that has made them a force to be reckoned with.

The Mustangs were held to two goals or less in 15 of the team’s 17 matches, and against a much tougher AAC schedule, the wins fell short of SMU’s expectations.

Fortunately for the Mustangs,

several key players should return in 2014, including the team’s top two goal scorers junior Andrew Morales and sophomore Alfred Koroma.

Days will be brighter for the Men’s soccer team, but for now the team will have to focus on finding a better balance against the top dogs of the AAC.

The dangers of Yes means yes: A culture of consent Defend against rape culture through self-education, listening hook-up culture w. tucker keene Managing Editor tkeene@smu.edu The prevalence of “hookup culture” at college campuses across the country is one of the most troubling trends in modern society. Sex in college is no longer about intimacy, it’s only about pleasure. And the culture which condones this belief has led to date rape on college campuses becoming disturbingly frequent and acceptable.

Hook-up culture, which views sex as a dangerously casual activity and emphasizes pleasure as the main purpose of a sexual encounter, seems to define most of how men and women interact while in college. It’s become commonplace for women to go to a frat party with the intent of getting drunk and having sex. This is fine on its own, except that it’s led men to thinking that every woman who goes to a frat party and drinks intends to have sex.

This culture is inherently destructive. It isn’t representative of an increasingly progressive social norm, hook-up culture doesn’t represent any kind of social progress. The casual attitude toward sex and toward consent promoted by hook-up culture directly contributes to the pervasiveness of rape culture.

The reason why is simple — the entitlement that men feel toward women’s bodies is a direct result of their experience acting within hookup culture. Hook-up culture blurs the lines of consent to such a degree that men think that a woman’s mere attendance at one of these parties constitutes consent to any and all sexual acts that a man may desire that particular night. Men who participate feel as if they’re “owed” sexual activity at the end of a night of partying.

This sense of entitlement encourages date rape. It encourages men to think that a woman is required to do whatever he likes because she drunkenly made out with him on the dance floor.

Men then end up actively looking for girls who have had too much to drink, actively looking for date rape opportunities. The normalization of this behavior therefore condones this violent criminal act as somehow okay, as a normal experience in the average frat brother’s weekend, and because of this there are scores of such encounters at each college campus across the country every weekend.

Men need to be taught that verbal, sober consent is required for every stage of progression from one sexual act to another, and not just once. Consent to sex one night does not consent on the next night.

Consent can only be given if all participants have the mental capacity to know what they’re consenting to.

From a legal perspective, that means in any situation where a participant is drunk, the act is by definition nonconsensual and therefore rape. Even if in a party-type situation, consent cannot be implied by anything other than a verbal “yes” to a specific request for a specific sex act.

Men need to realize this. Men don’t seem to think of having sex with a drunk girl as rape, and they should. Women too often play into this dynamic as well, which gives men a false impression that this behavior is somehow okay. Just as importantly, however, the college community as a whole needs to realize that hook-up culture invites scores of date rape situations every single weekend on college campuses across the country.

If people are truly sincere about ending the culture that promotes routine rapes on college campuses, utopian goals like “teaching rapists not to rape” aren’t going to work.

Advising women to drink responsibly isn’t going to work. It’s going to require a wholesale change in the base hook-up culture that so many adolescents so willingly participate in, that celebrities and pop culture endorse, and it is time everyone works together to bring an end to it.

Top 10 tips for men to avoid committing rape audrey gill Contributing Writer aegill@smu.edu There has been an explosion of discussion about rape and rape culture following an increase in the reported sexual assaults on campus.

The focus of these conversations: women. More specifically, what they can and should do to prevent the violent crimes committed against them. But what of other genders?

Research by the Bureau of Justice Statistics suggests that 99 percent of all rapes are committed by men.

Given that, and given the gendered nature of previous advice offered, it seems that men could use some advice. Here are some tips for men to avoid committing rape.

1. Know what rape is. Rape is the absence of consent. If you aren’t capable of recognizing consent, you are likely to commit rape.

2. Remember that consent can only be willingly given by an unimpaired adult. Meaning, consent cannot be given when someone is intoxicated, under physical or emotional duress, or physically or emotionally incapacitated.

3. Never assume that consent is implied.

4. Listen to your partner. Consent isn’t permanent. If your partner changes their mind at any point, you no longer have their consent.

5. Learn to take no for an answer.

This goes for any situation with any person. When you take no for an answer, you show respect and create a better environment.

6. Be careful when you’re drinking. Intoxication does not mean you aren’t still responsible for your actions. If you hit someone while drunk driving, you are still responsible for that crime. Rape is no different.

7. Stop associating your sexual activities with your masculinity.

One does not define the other. Sex doesn’t make you a man — feeling like a man makes you a man. On a related note…

8. Stop letting masculinity define you as a person. While gender norms might contribute to important parts of our identities, we are all more than the gender norms we do or do not follow.

9. Respect rape victims and recognize rape culture at work.

Rape culture is the collective cultural norms that oppress victims from within a patriarchal framework.

10. Don’t be a passive bystander, intervene. The best way to prevent yourself from committing rape is to create a culture/environment in which everyone is working to prevent rape at the source of the problem.

“Do not draw back, for we will mourn with thee O, could our mourning ease thy misery!”

— Marcus (“Titus Andronicus” 2.4.56-57) It seems as though Shakespeare can teach us about more than just iambic pentameter and slant rhyme — he also has a little something to say about rape culture. The quote above voices Marcus’ lament over the atrocity committed over his niece, Lavinia, who is raped and mutilated. Her hands and tongue are severed.

Beyond the savage physical violence of rape, this alludes to the symbolic silencing of victims.

One thing is clear: we should never silence victims of sexual assault. This is what rape culture does.

On btchflcks.com, Leigh Kolb writes about Lavinia’s rape and begs the question to contemporary notions of rape.

“What if we rallied behind not the rapists, but the one who was

one of entitlement.” Instead of suggesting that victims “protect themselves from strangers, don’t drink too much, don’t walk home alone” and stabilizing a culture of fear, we need a culture of consent.

A consent culture is centered on mutual agreement and respect — one that definitely does not include force, intimidation and abuse.

Becoming knowledgeable about the issues is crucial. Listen to what people have to say.

Explore others’ opinions and promote a dialogue. Question and stop slut-shaming comments like, “Did you see how slutty her skirt was? I could see everything.” It is as damaging as victim-blaming.

It’s disheartening to see that women are shamed by what we choose to say, what we wear and how we express ourselves in our society today. Unfortunately, this is a reality many young women experience daily. Instead of biting our thumbs at women, let’s try to have honest conversations on this campus and put an end to rape culture.

We try to facilitate these sorts of conversations at the

Women’s Interest Network (WIN), the feminist organization at SMU. Last week WIN and SPECTRUM’s Change.org petition strived to raise awareness about rape culture.

I welcome readers to join in on our many conversations concerning not only rape culture but issues of body image, media portrayals of men and women, gender and sexuality, and much more. WIN hosts events such as the Vagina Monologues in February to raise awareness about violence against women and Take Back the Night in November, an international rally against rape and sexual violence.

The spread of rape culture is toxic and like a disease, contaminating people with distorted images of men and women. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes about victims and perpetrators. It’s more important than ever to get educated on rape culture. Shakespeare appeared to be ahead of his time — it’s about time that we get the facts right.

DART provides affordable transportation lauren aguirre Copy Editor lcaguirre@smu.edu Dallas Area Rapid Transit, DART, is a fast and affordable way to travel around Dallas and the DFW Metroplex. Because I don’t have a car, DART has become my main mode of transportation. I usually ride the DART to NorthPark Center on weekends. In my opinion, it’s much easier than driving and I have much less to worry about during my commute. I don’t understand why many students avoid taking the DART. Why do they? The biggest comment I’ve heard about the DART is that it’s “not safe.”

This just isn’t true. I have never felt unsafe while riding, even in the late evening hours.

Everyone else on the train is trying to get to their destination, just like you are. I haven’t been

attacked, robbed or felt even slightly uncomfortable. And actually, riding the DART tends to be safer than driving.

Even if I had a car, I would hate to drive in Dallas traffic.

You have too many people rushing to get to wherever they need to go. My stress level always skyrockets when I’m out in the traffic, even if I’m not the one driving. With DART, the most you have to worry about is waiting for your train or bus.

You have no risk of being in an accident, and you don’t have to worry about gas prices or parking. Your trip is completely stress free.

Also, you never have to pay much to travel by DART. For a one-time $5 fee, SMU students can get a DART pass that automatically renews (for free) each year. This pass not only lets you travel around Dallas, but also gives you access to most

of the DFW Metroplex. From DART, you can connect to the Trinity Railway Express, which can take you to Arlington, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas.

For an average Joe, a pass that gives them the same freedoms would cost $160 per month.

To say that the SMU student reduced price is a deal is a major understatement.

The hardest part about traveling by DART is figuring out which route to take. But that’s made much easier with the DART’s Trip Planner, which you can find on their website.

You can also check your route on Google Maps. Just select the transit icon to get directions.

If you do happen to get lost on DART, finding your way is as easy as getting off at the next stop. A system rail map is posted at each stop and can be found inside each train as well.

Also, with your Google Maps

app, you can get step-by-step directions to your destination.

If all else fails, don’t be afraid to ask someone. Most of the people I’ve met while traveling

by DART are friendly and willing to help.

While traveling by DART may take a few extra minutes than driving, you get to spend your ride relaxing to your favorite album or diving into a great book. No more traffic or parking stress. You might even meet a few interesting people along the way.

Get your student pass and try it once. If you absolutely hate the experience, you’re only out $5. If you end up enjoying your ride, you just discovered a much more convenient way to travel. Honestly, what do you have to lose?

obituary

Student reflects on life of influential teacher demetrio teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu I’ve lost people before. Never anyone particularly close, though. I’ve grieved the losses of others. I’ve also grieved the loss of local celebrities. It wasn’t until last week that I came to know the pain of losing family.

Richard Dillon died Thursday in a losing battle with esophageal cancer.

Mr. Dillon was my high school AP Microeconomics teacher. I took his class as a senior and because I was almost “out” I admittedly put forth the minimal amount of effort early on.

I’d struggle to remain awake, but just when I was about to start dreaming, Mr. Dillon would crack a one-liner. It would always be subtle, clever and lighthearted. After a joke, he’d have us for the rest of class, but we would have his friendship forever.

He knew the subject he was

raped? What if we never said, ‘I am not saying she deserved to be raped, but…’” Kolb said. Why do we victim-blame and have little sympathy for victims?

With the recent controversy surrounding Kirby Wiley’s column on issues of sexual assaults and binge-drinking in college, terms such as “slutshaming” and “victim-blaming” are thrown into the air, but they aren’t being defined clearly. It’s high time we address this and begin a conversation. Without further ado, here are some steps to help you get involved in this discussion.

1. Read the literature, high and low, about rape culture.

2. Listen to opposing perspectives and those that mirror your own.

3. Ask questions in a sensitive and considerate manner.

Rape culture is a culture in which rape is normalized and accepted. In Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti’s “Yes Means Yes!: Visions of Female Sexual Power and A World Without Rape,” they write that “sexual assault is not only a crime of violence and power, but also

teaching was only going to be interesting to a handful of the 17- and 18-year-old kids looking at him.

So, he peppered his lectures with interesting and funny stories from his personal life or he got on his soap box and entertained us with a colorful tangent.

The most important thing about what I just said: he knew.

He always knew who was putting forth the effort to get better. He knew who wasn’t completely blowing off his class. He may have been brash and seemed distant when you first met him, but that wasn’t Mr. Dillon at all. Once he knew you “gave a crap,” as he would say, he did everything he could to make sure you graduated.

After I graduated, he kept in touch with me through Facebook. Often he would write positive comments on my posts.

He often told me how proud he was of all the things I had done and what I would do.

He would always tell me that

he knew I was going places; that I was going to be someone. I knew how supportive he was, but probably only superficially.

It wasn’t until Thursday that I realized just how supportive he was. It’s also when I realized that I would no longer get to hear him call someone a “wise ass” or see his politically charged posts. Now, I’ll actually have to pay attention to politics to know what is going on.

Of all my high school teachers, Mr. Dillon supported me the most after graduation.

Sadly, he was the one I visited the least. I went back to my old stomping grounds several times, each time I saw the same group of teachers; the ones who supported me during high school.

As awesome as they were for supporting and teaching me in the classroom, Mr. Dillon did something more: he supported me and continued to teach me once I left.

He was one of the greatest men I have ever known. There

isn’t enough space on this page to adequately represent who he was or what made him such a great person. He touched so many lives and he will be missed.

I regret not visiting him more. I regret not stopping by his class more than I did to tell him thanks, but I can’t beat myself up about it. He wouldn’t want that.

When I learned of his passing I was very sad and I still am, but he wouldn’t want that either. He’d tell me to go out, drink, have a good time and live my life to the fullest. He’d say that would be the best way to celebrate his life.

Thank you, Mr. Dillon, for being one of the best teachers I ever had.

Thank you, for believing in me.

But most of all, thank you, for being my friend.

‘Catching Fire’ comes to life on the big screen Box Office Preview: ‘The Hunger Games’ sequel expected to be a hit Courtney Spalten cspalten@smu.edu caleb wossen cwossen@smu.edu Film adaptations of bestselling book series tend to do well at the box office.

Just look at the mania caused by the franchises of “Harry Potter” and “Twilight.”

Books adapted into films tend to be wildly successful, and “The Hunger Games” franchise is no exception.

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” is the second installment in the film adaptation of the best-selling science-fiction novels by Suzanne Collins.

After the success of the first film, Lionsgate Entertainment’s “Catching Fire” is expected to seize the box office upon its Nov. 22 release.

The film’s prequel, “The Hunger Games,” netted $691,247,768 last year, a figure that was nearly 10 times its budget.

“Catching Fire’s” budget is $140 million, meaning the film has the potential to make a huge profit at the box office.

Returning to the dystopian post-apocalyptic world of Panem, the sequel picks up where the first film left off.

After the staggering end of the 74th Annual Hunger Games.

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the most recent Hunger Games victors, tour through the districts.

The Hunger Games is a televised annual event where one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 is selected from each district as a tribute to participate in a fight to the death.

Traditionally, there has only been one survivor, but Katniss and Peeta captivated audiences with a love story that ultimately allowed them both to survive.

As the couple travels on their victory tour, their win stirs rebellion in the people.

Tasting blood in the water, President Snow (Donald Sutherland), unhappy with the competitors outsmarting The Capitol, prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games, known as a Quarter Quell.

Instead of drawing from the

general population, the tributes for this Hunger Games are picked among the victors, shaping up for a lethal show.

President Snow’s motives could have been predicted seeing as the word “quell” means “to put an end to (a rebellion or other disorder), typically by use of force.”

Judging from the promos, “Catching Fire” looks like a bloodier affair than its predecessor.

The added star power helps, too.

Since appearing in the first “Hunger Games” film, Lawrence has shot into stardom.

In addition to being a bonafide star, the actress is now an Oscar winner. Lawrence took home the Best Actress title at this year’s Academy Awards for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook.”

making her debut in the series as the salty Johanna Mason from District 3, as well as Sam Claflin as the beefcake Finnick Odair from District 4.

On Thursday, the film’s Facebook page debuted a sneak peek clip, which showed a dramatic scene where Katniss and Peeta seek help from their coach Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) after President Snow has confronted Katniss about his unhappiness with the uprisings in the districts.

“From now on your job is to be a distraction, so people forget what the real problems are,” Haymitch says in the clip, advising the winners to be a distraction from the country’s issues instead of bringing attention to them.

Catch the film when it hits theaters to see how Katniss and Peeta fare during their second round in the Hunger Games.
