Mustangs pull away, beat UConn Samuel Snow Contributing Writer ssnow@smu.edu Trying to collect their fourth win of the season, SMU took on the winless University of Connecticut on Saturday at Gerald Ford Stadium. Down by 10, UConn took over with 3:50 remaining in the game and a comeback on their minds. Quarterback Casey Cochran barely avoided a sack before throwing a pick-six to Stephon Sanders. That put the score at 38-21. “It was just playing defense like how we’ve been practicing,” Sanders said. “We actually had a fire zone on there, and I knew, like, when we have a fire zone on, the ball comes out quick, and that is exactly what happened so we got to stay in our coverage, and everybody did their job. It was just the whole defense executing their plays, and the result was a touchdown, which is what we needed.” Donning their new red helmets, SMU got off to a slow start offensively. The Mustang defense, however, was able to prevent UConn from getting into a groove offensively. Following a missed 42-yard field goal from Connecticut, Garrett Gilbert connected with Keenan Holman for a leaping 1-yard touchdown reception. Gilbert showed off his wheels on a 23-yard run to set up the touchdown. The Mustang defense was able to follow up by holding UConn to 14 yards before the SMU offense took over again. Then, with a 12 play, 80-
yard drive, Gilbert completed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Johnson. With that pass, SMU took a 14-0 lead. Looking to keep it close, though, UConn followed that drive up with a 75-yard touchdown drive of its own. With a methodical drive, the Huskies scored on a 2-yard touchdown run by Max DeLorenzo bringing the score to 14-7. With 2:28 remaining in the first half, SMU took over looking to take a two-possession lead. Gilbert completed the final four passes of the half to Johnson, including a 5-yard touchdown reception that gave the Mustangs a 21-7 lead going into the half. “They were playing a lot of cover-4, so they weren’t allowing me to get on top,” Johnson said. I caught a lot of underneath routes, and I think they did a good job with not letting us get deep at all, really.” The SMU offense struggles to find a groove to start the second half, and UConn looked to take advantage of that. On the second drive of the half for the Huskies, with UConn taking the ball 62 yards, Cochran completed a fourth-down pass to Geremy Davis for the touchdown. That score brought UConn within one possession at 21-14. SMU finally got the offense going with 1:03 remaining in the third quarter. Gilbert opened the drive with a 54-yard pass to Der’rikk Thompson, and — using the hurry-up offense — followed with a 20-yard touchdown catchand-run to Holman. “It’s a huge product of how much work, again as an offensive unit, that we put in,” Gilbert said,
“From last year, about midway through the season, as I feel like we started to get comfortable with one another on into the spring, again, the work that my receivers and the offensive line, out there every day putting in extra work, continuing to get better. That’s where that all comes from.” The Huskies, looking to keep the score close, followed that up with a touchdown drive of their own. Cochran completed an impressive 25-yard catch to Davis for the touchdown to bring the score to 28-21. Late in the fourth, SMU took over the ball at UConn’s 43-yard line, following a poor punt by Cole Wagner. However, the Mustangs were only able to turn that into a 27-yard field goal by Chase Hover. With very little hope of a comeback, Cochran threw an interception to Darrion Richardson, which iced the game for SMU. “We won, that was good,” Head Coach June Jones said. “Made it, as we always do, a little harder than it is supposed to be, but playing in this new conference, these teams, regardless of what their record is are big and fast, and they are more physical, I think, than what we have been playing against, so we have to do everything right, and I am proud of Garrett [Gilbert]. I thought the [offensive] line, with the size and their front four, I thought throwing the ball 52 times, they competed pretty hard.” After picking up the fourth win of the season, SMU will travel to play the University of South Florida Saturday for a 6 p.m. faceoff. USF is 2-6, and the Mustangs will look to take their fifth win of the season.

JFK 50
Feature
Exhibit commemorates assassination
Alyssa Parrish Contributing Writer amparrish@smu.edu As Dallas prepares for the 50th anniversary of John F Kennedy’s assassination, SMU joins in the celebration of his life by commemorating the assassination and the effects it had on Dallas and America with the JFK:50 exhibit, located in Fondren Central Library. The Fondren Library Exhibits Committee, with the help of the DeGoyler Library, put together an exhibit that showcases a wide variety of artifacts relating to the president’s assassination. “We really wanted to commemorate the assassination as a historical moment. We want to be sure to not forget,” said Robert Walker, director of the Norwick Center for Digital Services and designer of the exhibit. One of the standout displays includes six models of the camera that filmed the assassination. These models have been lined up, side by side, on a wooden board, symbolizing six seconds on the grassy knoll. “It’s one thing to know the model of the camera, but to see it and pick it up, to realize that is
weighs eight pounds, makes it more surreal,” Walker said. This item and several others came from Walker’s personal collection. He has spent 30 years researching Kennedy and his assassination. Kennedy’s inauguration address from SMU’s government documents collection to letters the mayor of Dallas received from the Earle Cabell collection to fiction books about the president and how he died are also on display. Many of the artifacts are reprinted replicas of the original documents. The Norwick Center for Digital Services played a large part in placing these items on display. The Norwick Center is able to take such detailed scans of documents that it allows for exact replicas to be printed, even down to the color and appearance of texture. Several photos of the events on Nov. 22, 1963, and the following days are scattered throughout the exhibit. All of the photos are originals from the Belo collection here on campus. A section of the exhibit also pays a small tribute to Darwin Payne, a prominent reporter at the time of the assassination and a former faculty member at SMU. This exhibit is only the most recent installment put on by the Fondren Library Exhibits Committee. “Each year the Fondren Library Exhibits Committee installs five exhibits in the library that highlight different Central University Libraries events and other topical and timely events,” said John Milazzo, digitization and lab coordinator for the Norwick Center for Digital Services and head of the Exhibit Committee. “Each exhibit showcases

library materials.” While the committee has not yet received any formal feedback on the display, what it has noticed is an increased interest in the display. “People were stopping to look at it as soon as we started putting it up. While we were putting it up,” Walker said. While the exhibit explores the societal impact of the assassination, it makes no claims
as to what exactly or how it happened that fateful day. Rather, it presents original material to help the observer think about and come to their own conclusion. “We want people to remember what happened because it’s serious,” Walker said. “We want people to explore what they think happened.” New items will be added to the collection as the anniversary approaches.
Dallas has just welcomed a new car service into town: Lyft, an app-based ride-sharing system that allows users to schedule rides in their area through an app on their smartphone. The service comes to Dallas in the midst of a controversy over a similar app, Uber, which arrived in the city in August of 2012. These fast and convenient ride-sharing services compete with other taxi companies like Yellow Cab, and both Lyft and Uber have faced several legal battles while attempting to expand. Lyft, like Uber, was founded in San Francisco, and California became the first state to legalize the ride sharing service under the umbrella of “transportation network companies.” Other cities are struggling to incorporate the companies into local legal structures. In many other states the companies were issued cease and desist papers, and faced many citations from officers in Dallas. In October, Mayor Mike Rawlings led an investigation to look into
the legitimacy of a proposed city ordinance that was designed to ban the service. While Uber uses licensed limousine drivers in town cars, Lyft picks its drivers from the community who use their own cars. Lyft representatives say they hope this will give the service a friendly feel. “It’s an awesome social experience that people love and we’re super pumped to have launched in Dallas,” said Ryan Hupfer, member of the Lyft launch team in Dallas. Drivers will appear in different cars, identifiable by a giant pink mustache at the front of the vehicle, and passengers are required to pay by tip. There is also a background check for each driver, and $1 million per occurrence in excess liability insurance. It remains to be seen how Lyft will fare in Dallas’ legal system, as well as whether costumers will prefer the service to the already established Uber app. For SMU students interested in trying Lyft, the company is offering first-time users $20 in credit on their first ride with code SMU20.

Don’t let winter’s chill ruin a daily workout routine Samantha Peltier Health & Fitness Editor speltier@smu.edu Dallas’ first cold front has come and gone, and it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Winter usually means lots of family time, dinners and hot chocolate in the ski lodge. This season is filled with hurdles for the everyday dietier and fitness junkie. A hearty Thanksgiving dinner can spell trouble when running on the trail the next day. Daily sugary coffees to fight off the cold can make the perfect swimsuit body that much harder to acheive. Equinox pilates, barre, cycling and resistance training instructor Courtney Corbeille had many tips and tricks for SMU students to overcome winter’s health obstacles. Peltier: What is the biggest problem people usually have when working out in winter? Corbeille: Cold temperatures keep most people indoors, so things you might normally do, like take the dog for a walk or even walk to a nearby restaurant, are often avoided. People are also tempted by sweet treats and buffet lines that are high in calories and carbohydrates at holiday parties
and office gatherings. Family time during the winter usually includes sedentary activities like board games, movies and lounging. SP: How do you solve it? CC: Bundle up and perform your normal outdoor workout. A little cold weather is fine to run in, as long as you warm up with a light jog or polymeric. Workout in your living room with body weight exercises like squats, planks, push-ups and crunches. Hit the gym or find a studio with a heated yoga class. Make a tradition out of taking a family walk around the block after holiday meals or walk around your neighborhood to find the best Christmas lights. SP: Are there any health risks with workout outside when it is cold? CC: Properly warming up before any workout is crucial for injury prevention. Deep squats or a light job before stretching or beginning your workout will warm up the muscles and prepare your body for your workout. It’s very important to move your body and get your heart rate up before stretching or exercising. SP: How do you get people motivated in the winter? CC: Spring is right around the corner.

months will show in the spring. SP: This season is all about Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Is it ok to splurge every so often? If not, how does one eat healthy? CC: Allow yourself cheat days. Pick wisely and take holiday meals and parties into account. Have an accountability partner to keep you in check. Try healthy alternatives to traditional holiday foods like making mashed potatoes with low sodium chicken broth instead of milk or steaming veggies instead of frying them. SP: What is a good way to get warm without gorging on sweet coffees? CC: Tea. Most hot teas are extremely low in calories, high in antioxidants, and are a healthy alternative to sugar-filled coffee drinks. SP: What’s the best workout outfit to stay warm, but not too warm during your workout? CC: Dress in layers. You can always take things off as you go, but it’s no fun to be worrying about the temperature during an outdoor winter workout. Under Armour and Nike make light but warm winter workout bottoms. Find a thick headband that can double as a sweatband and ear cover. SP: What’s your favorite healthy snack during the winter? CC: Baked sweet potatoes and

acorn squash, drizzled with a little olive oil and kosher salt are delicious snacks. You can also try a side dish with lean meat like turkey or chicken. A handful of almonds or eggplant hummus with wholewheat pita bread are healthy snacks for anytime of the year. Don’t let winter’s chill stop your daily workout routine.

Sony PlayStation 4 is worth the wait Highly anticipated PS4 hit stores Friday, meets hype matthew costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu Since early June, Sony’s newest installment of the PlayStation series has been the talk of the video gaming world. The PlayStation 4 was backed by myriad promises and advertisements suggesting it will be fully concentrating on gaming, unlike that of its competition according to some, but can the hype meet the $400 reality? In short, yes. With several new features and a lineup that will improve with time, the PlayStation 4 is what Sony promised it would be. The most glorious portion of the new system lies in the revamped DualShock 4 controller, which is a welcome upgrade from its predecessor. Feeling the controller is almost enough to warrant the price tag alone, considering the weight is significantly more than the DualShock 3, and even adds an intuitive touch screen between the D-pad and the iconic PlayStation face buttons. Although the newest feature of the controller hasn’t found too many uses in the current lineup of games, the options for developers in the future will be almost limitless with Sony’s controller. The newly designed user interface is much simpler than that of the PS3 as well. Players will instantly be able to access any of their last 10 activities and, if they back out to the main menu in the middle of a game, will
be able to pick up right where they left off. Graphically speaking, the games are a gorgeous and massive improvement in terms of high definition, with a frame rate upgrade that is very noticeable. Pebbles on a beach are individually textured, as are the most minute details in playable characters and environments. Many will say the graphics on the console aren’t much of a step up from the last generation of consoles, but given the expected life of the PS4 is supposedly a decade, game developers will have plenty of time to wow customers even more than they already have. Sony’s PlayStation Store is also much simpler to navigate this go-around. Games that are only on the PS4 are all that pop up, unlike the PS3 which confusingly offered both PlayStation Vita and PS3 games. A downside to the online world for Sony fans was the announcement that, like Microsoft’s Xbox Live, PlayStation will charge members for access to online play, but the benefits of being a PlayStation Plus member have returned. Several games, including “Contrast” and the critically acclaimed “Resogun” make their debut free of charge to existing members, and make up for the weak point of the new console’s release. If the PlayStation set out to light the world on fire with its list of launch titles, this is where Sony has fallen shortest from the early signs of the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.
Although it’s not completely Sony’s fault, given that many big name titles for the new system have been pushed back, it hasn’t been aided by the lackluster reviews of some of its first-party games. “Killzone: Shadow Fall” has been the one game every new owner has flocked to as the latest iteration in the first-person shooter series. It definitely shows off the PS4’s graphical capabilities and just how powerful Sony’s eight-core AMD “Jaguar” central processing unit. In the more kid-friendly “Knack,” Sony attempts to go back to its platforming roots, but the days of games like “Crash Bandicoot” are long gone. The issue with both of these titles is how little they add to their respective genres and the lack of innovation on Sony’s part is the one thing holding it back from adding to its

record-setting launch. Triple-A titles like “Infamous: Second Son” and “Gran Turismo 6” are just a few months away and will bolster this system for what should be a strong 2014, but most gamers need justification for a $400 purchase on day one. So after months of speculation
and anticipation, Sony’s newest creation looks like everything it was promised to be, but the weak opening lineup has put a bit of a damper on the PlayStation parade. For anyone on the fence, wait until early next year when firmware updates have fixed the

Eat sustainable, local agriculture trevor thrall Opinion Editor tthrall@smu.edu Eating organic produce, or anything green at all, is out of character for East Texans. They want their factoryfarmed steroid-riddled meat breaded, deep-fried, and drenched in gravy. Don’t forget to add a side of fries and a large sweet tea. I was no exception. But, by some strange impulse, I decided that I wanted to volunteer on an organic farm where I could have access to an endless supply of fresh produce. As a McDonald’s-loving 16-year-old who spent every summer sleeping in until noon, volunteering for a job that involved rolling out of bed at 5 a.m. and, worse, vegetables, was beyond out of character. My family was shocked, my friends were shocked and I was shocked. But I was only one of many unlikely characters charmed by Cindy and Bryan Pruett’s approach to farming. The couple decided to open Appleby Community Farm in Nacogdoches, Texas to fight the small town’s poor health. The Pruetts began to farm, throwing the conventions out the window. No pesticides, no herbicides, no genetically modified produce. They felt passionate about providing Nacogdoches with fresh foods that no grocery store could offer. Appleby Community Farm is identified as a CSA, which stands for community supported agriculture. There is a CSA movement across the country, as more people begin to take an interest in fresh, healthy foods and the importance of local farming. For CSAs, locals purchase seasonal memberships to the farm and pick up weekly shares. Members are also required to work a certain number of hours on the farm each season in exchange for their produce, doing tasks such as weeding, planting or harvesting vegetables. The beauty of this system is that it not only provides healthy food, but also connects members to a community that is passionate about sustainable living and agriculture. It’s like a built-in support group for people who are fighting America’s destructive system of food production. In rural East Texas, use of the word “organic” automatically
means that you’re one of those weirdies who voted for Obama and believes in that ridiculous global warming conspiracy. Trying to spread the word about the benefits of locally grown, chemical-free food is social suicide. Even worse is trying to explain the science behind eating fresh, raw vegetables over cooked vegetables, which, per southern tradition, usually requires butter and bacon. Two ingredients that are notorious for clogging arteries somehow become healthy when a few collard greens are added to the mix. But even in such a culture blinded by the tasty goodness of processed and factory farmed foods, some have seen the light. Appleby Community Farm has a thriving group of members who want their food to come from a trusted source. There’s something rewarding in being involved in the process of putting food on the table. From planting a seed in the ground, to carefully watering each day, to watching the plant grow, and finally picking a beautiful fresh tomato off the vine creates a huge sense of accomplishment. And while not all members have much time to contribute labor, they still see the garden growing and changing each week when they pick up their shares. Convincing Nacogdoches residents of the life-changing benefits of turning away from the grocery store food culture is a slow-moving process, to say the least. Before moving to Dallas, it seemed like there would never be a large enough demand in America to do away with eating mass-produced foods. But I have been encouraged by the change I see in Dallas, with new restaurants opening all the time that boast of organic menu items. Big grocery stores like Whole Foods Market sell local produce and organic alternatives to nearly any food found in other stores. I have hope that the movement will make its way to my hometown. The demand for something better, fresher, cleaner and sustainable is becoming more and more prevalent. Americans can’t just make the jump from having food that’s instantly available to eating solely from farms and gardens in their area, but we’re making progress.
JFK the millenial way brandon bub Contributing Writer bbub@smu.edu The first time I visited The Sixth Floor Museum, I was 10 years old. The trip was a privilege that many local public schools afforded their 5th graders, and we were thrilled to spend the day away from classes to visit “the city.” I have few memories of the visit itself–the image that jumps out at me most from that day is going to Spaghetti Warehouse afterward and watching my friend Chris try to eat pasta with his nose. For me, it never even clicked that the reason why we had this museum in Dallas was because President Kennedy’s assassination occurred just a few feet away. Since beginning college, I’ve taken more classes on the history of Dallas and the Kennedy assassination than I ever thought possible, so the museum has become a regular hangout. The word “dictabelt” has become a shibboleth for entering conversations about conspiracy theories. I feel like I know so much about that day, and yet I can’t shake my doubts about the constant emotional alienation from the event I’ll always feel. A couple of years ago, I was a groomsman at my sister’s wedding. The photographer took us all
around downtown with the bride and groom for photo opportunities. At one point, she asked the bus driver to stop so we could “take a picture in front of that big Lego sculpture.” I opted to chuckle rather than loudly ask, “You mean the JFK Memorial sculpture?” The photographer was only a few years older than me, so I could understand why she might not know what that sculpture was or why it has so much emotional resonance for people who remember that day almost 50 years ago. I’ve interviewed patrons at The Sixth Floor Museum, and, without fail, the people who offer the most glowing reviews are the ones old enough to remember what they were doing on Nov. 22, 1963. The museum’s guestbook always contains testimonials attesting to JFK’s brilliance and the tragic nature of his death. Historical discourse surrounding JFK’s presidency has gone from overwhelmingly positive to pessimistically neutral. Kennedy, who was once regarded as a hero of the civil rights movement and an effective diplomat, has largely fallen out of favor in many academic circles. Historians fault him for vacillating so long on equal rights for African Americans, and there

is little proof that Kennedy would not have made many of the same mistakes Lyndon B. Johnson did in Vietnam. And yet this cult of personality still persists. It’s hard to imagine any public figure being so consistently lionized today, nor could a reaction to that figure’s death ever quite be the same. In 1963, Walter Cronkite had the whole country glued to their TV screens as he told the world of Kennedy’s fate; today, we would likely discover such a tragedy by iPhone push notification. In an age where a president can barely swat a fly without facing
media scrutiny, it’s nearly impossible for young people to imagine a world where one person could be so consistently admired. Perhaps we might laud a more scrutinizing media giving us clearer portraits of our public officials. Or perhaps we’ve grown so in love with the sound of our own opinions that we’ve drowned out any dissenting voices. Regardless, I look forward to taking some time Friday to reflect upon a president taken too soon and a zeitgeist we can never reclaim.

Stop sweeping immigration reform under the rug katelyn gough Assignments Desk Editor kgough@smu.edu House Speaker John Boehner has made his stance on the Senateapproved immigration bill even more clear over the past week — according to him, the House has “no intention” of bringing the reform bill to a vote. The status of immigration law and regulation in the U.S. is far past what many call “broken” —our immigration system is, for all intents and purposes, obsolete, and the plan of attack Boehner has outlined does nothing to take even a single step closer to “fixing” the problems. By continuing border buildup and tackling the immigration debacle from the security side of it alone, the U.S. is taking a passive approach. I spoke with citizens, immigrants and law enforcement officials alike while in Tucson
and Nogales, Ariz. reporting on immigration over the 2013 summer. The majority consensus was that focusing on security is powerless. If what we are doing doesn’t work now, it’s not going to suddenly work after someone throws billions more dollars at it. That’s only compounding the problem. The security needs to be re-worked. One president of a prominent Tucson, Ariz. immigration reform organization said the physical “border wall is an obstacle” to the border patrol officers themselves, because oftentimes “they can’t see” over it to proactively intercept crossing attempts. While all those I spoke with agreed that the border is ineffective, no one could articulate a viable solution — which also seems to be Washington, D.C.’s dilemma. But just because finding the answer is difficult does not mean the country’s leaders — who are
entrusted with solving our hardest problems to begin with — are exempt from working until they find that solution. Beyond the border question is the still nonexistent path to citizenship for the 11.1 million undocumented immigrants already living in America. While the focus is often thrown to the drug trade and gang violence that has migrated across the border, it cannot be forgotten that outnumbering those residents are the students, workers and community members who are integral players in American society. As it stands now, young undocumented immigrants who came over as children can selectively qualify for stable status under the DREAM Act. These protections that allow some undocumented youth to attend college and hold steady jobs have given a temporary window to a better future — but it is not a path to citizenship. It’s a BandAid that will only carry these hardworking, contributing members
of society so far. One of Tucson’s leading immigration attorneys called the current state of possible citizenship options “arduous” and even “mean-spirited.” These DREAMers have the opportunity for a far better life because of their parents’ hard work — work in the lowest levels of service jobs that most Americans would never consider filling. Yet, their parents are the ones who could be deported. And, economically speaking, the U.S. cannot afford to lose that labor force. Immigration is messy, complicated and highly controversial. But it cannot continue to take second to every other issue the U.S. needs to address. It is a problem that is growing daily, and the country cannot afford to continue putting these 11.1 million people on the backburner of the Congressional docket.

Tiger down, SMU sweeps Memphis Matthew Costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu Another conference opponent, another win for the SMU Mustangs volleyball team (19-9 overall, 11-4 in American Athletic Conference) who defeated the Memphis Tigers in sweeping fashion 3-0 yesterday, on Senior Day.
OPEN HOUSE
Korina Baker went three for five from the three-point range against EWU Saturday, finishing with nine points.
Mustangs beat Eastern Washington, 75-70 Rompola said after the game to SMU Athletics. “On the other hand we came out in the second half and came out so much more aggressive.” Rompola spoke the truth, as her team began to work toward the basket and get to the foul line much more than they did in the first half. While the Mustangs were able to get to the free throw line just six times in opening frame, making five of those shots, SMU expanded its attempts to 21 in the second and cashed in with 15 scores. The Eagles, on the other hand, were held to just eight attempts for the game, and only made three. The other one-sided effort for the Mustangs came on the boards, as SMU outgained Eastern Washington 48 to 28. The Mustangs were nearly able to gain as many offensive rebounds as the Eagles had defensive boards, while six SMU players had four rebounds or more. “That’s the key is the offensive
Traveling all the way to Cheney, Wash., the SMU Mustangs (3-0) defeated the Eastern Washington University Eagles 75-70 Saturday night behind a strong second half using tough-minded basketball. SMU trailed by as much as nine through the halfway point of the first half after shooting a relatively low 41 percent in the first 20 minutes of play on 12 of 29 attempts. EWU shot the exact same percentage and even had an equal number of makes and total shots, but outshot the Mustangs beyond the arc with six shots to SMU’s two. The Eagles were able to take a slim lead into the half at 32-31, causing a bit of concern from Head Coach Rhonda Rompola. “I thought Eastern Washington played a heck of a game,”

rebounds,” Rompola said. “When our post players are rebounding… you feed off of that. That’s what gets our break going.” Individual Mustangs had solid performances as well, including senior forward Akil Simpson’s 16 points and seven rebounds. Firstyear Kiara Perry also jumped onto the scene with a near double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds. Not to be outdone, senior guard Keena Mays was close to a tripledouble of her own with 15 points, eight assists and eight boards. The Mustangs ended the game from the line with four of five shots, and made up the one-point halftime deficit by outscoring the Eagles 44-38 in the last 20 minutes to win. SMU’s next opponent will be back in the friendly confines of the Curtis Culwell Center for a 7 p.m. matchup tomorrow against Mississippi Valley State University, and will do it with a perfect 3-0 record.
