Mustangs play in first conference championship game since 1984. By EJ HOLLAND Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

After a dramatic 45-38 overtime victory over East Carolina last Friday, SMU claimed the Conference USA West title with a 6-2 league record, allowing the Mustangs to compete for their first league title since 1984, when SMU earned a co-championship in the Southwest Conference. SMU (7-5, 6-2) will take on Conference USA East champion Central Florida (9-3, 7-1) in the Conference USA Championship game on Saturday at 11 a.m. in Orlando, FL. The Knights are currently ranked 25th in coaches pool and have won seven out of their last eight games after starting the season 2-2. UCF’s only conference loss came at the hands of Southern Mississippi, 31-21 on Nov. 13. However the Knights won their last two games of the season against C-USA bottom feeders Tulane and Memphis by an average of 34 points. The Mustangs and Knights last squared off in 2008 when UCF earned a 31-17 victory over SMU. The Mustangs outgained the Knights by nearly 100 yards but turned the ball over four times. SMU wide receiver Aldrick Robinson racked up 210 receiving yards and one touchdown. UCF running back Ronnie Weaver carried the ball 25 times for 123

yards and one touchdown. Robinson and Weaver will once again both be a vital part of their team’s offense this Saturday. Offensively, SMU likes to air the ball out and is nationally ranked 20th passing yards and 74th in rushing yards. UCF likes to pound the ball on the ground and is ranked 80th in passing yards and 25th in rushing yards. Padron has been solid this year, passing for 3,306 yards, a new SMU record, and 28 touchdowns which rank 10th nationally. Padron is also the team’s second leading rusher this year with 251 yards and four touchdowns. Padron threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns against East Carolina last week and earned C-USA Player of the Week and Manning Award Star of the Week. Padron has three solid wide receivers to throw the ball to. Robinson leads the receiving corps with 57 receptions for 1,182 yards and 12 touchdowns. The senior is averaging 20.7 yards per reception and is ranked seventh nationally in receiving yards. Junior Cole Beasley has not been too bad himself. He has caught 79 passes for 976 yards and six touchdowns on the season. Finally, Darius Johnson has been yet another explosive offensive weapon for the Mustangs. Johnson has 60 receptions for 588 yards and five touchdowns.

For UCF, freshman Jeffrey Godfrey has done a good job in his first year under the helm. Godfrey has thrown for 1,875 yards and 12 touchdowns and rushed for 529 yards and nine touchdowns. Against Memphis last week, the freshman passed for 252 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 34 yards and one touchdown. On the ground, the Knights are led by Weaver who has rushed for 855 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Mustangs have also established a ground game this year behind running back Zach Line, who has rushed for 1,297 yards and 10 touchdowns. The sophomore rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns against East Carolina. Defensively UCF is ranked 18th in the nation, allowing only 18.9 points per game. SMU is surrendering over 27 points per contest and is ranked 64th. The Knights are led by senior linebacker Derrick Hallman. This season, Hallman currently leads the team in tackles with 75 tackles including 53 solos, one sack, one interception and four forced fumbles. The Mustangs are led by sophomore linebacker Taylor Reed, who currently leads the team with 122 tackles including 82 solos and one fumble recovery. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN 2.

New minor combines fashion, media Students live life with gluten free diets By MEGHAN GARLICH Contributing Writer mgarlich@smu.edu

By KATIE TUFTS

Contributing Writer ktufts@smu.edu

Senior Shyler Peters started eating a gluten-free diet when she was diagnosed with Celiac disease at age 19 after years of stomach aches and fatigue. “I’ve noticed a huge difference in how I look and feel. I lost about 20 pounds when I corrected my diet…my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore, and I have more energy,” Peters said. What used to be a little known disease that took years to diagnose, Celiac disease, as well as wheat allergies, is now more prevalent than ever, and health awareness is spreading fast, resulting in more people turning to a gluten-free diet. About one in 130 people in the United States have Celiac disease, according to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, and most will never know it. As the most common genetic disease, it can develop at any age and is prevalent in the U.S. and the U.K., according The Gluten-Free Girl website (glutenfreegirl.blogspot. com). However, many people go undiagnosed because there are a wide range of symptoms and varying degrees of effects. Celiac disease is a digestive condition triggered by eating the protein gluten, which is found in any food containing wheat, barley or rye, like bread, pasta, cookies, processed foods and many others. For those with Celiac disease, an immune reaction

causes damage to the small intestine, which also causes an inability to absorb certain nutrients, according to the Mayo Clinic. “Gluten sensitivity is definitely a hot issue right now, as it should be. Celiac disease did not receive a whole lot of attention in the past,” SMU dietician Claire Florsheim said. According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, it is estimated that in the recent past, it took an average of six to 10 years to be correctly diagnosed with Celiac disease and that 95 percent of people with Celiac disease went undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. “However, people are being diagnosed more quickly now, which is great because that means they can get to feeling better that much sooner,” Florsheim said. According to The Gluten-Free Girl website, “The conditions and symptoms from gluten sensitivity… are vastly due to the host of problems resulting from the inflammation, toxins and lack of absorption of nutrients.” Dr. Albert Varner, a San Francisco based specialist in digestive disorders, said, “Celiac disease patients should strictly avoid gluten and wheat and should see a dietician for advice… [but] other than that, they don’t need to do anything, since the damaged [area] of celiac disease patients will heal itself if wheat is avoided.”

Fashion is everywhere at Southern Methodist University, from the innovative fall trends worn on the Boulevard, to the SMU Style Blog featured in The Daily Campus. This devotion to fashion has many students interested in pursuing a career in the fashion media industry. As 2011 approaches, fashion does not have to just be a hobby anymore. Meadows announced a new minor in fashion media that offers students the opportunity to fuse their interest in fashion with journalism, public relations

or photography, in order to prepare them for further academic study or workplace internships. “We hope to provide Meadows students with an interest in fashion media with some conceptual and practical knowledge that will prove useful to them,” journalism professor Camille Kraeplin said. The development of the fashion media minor is a result of both student interest and faculty support. “We looked into developing the fashion media minor because the Meadows School offers courses that lend themselves to a crossdisciplinary minor such as fashion media,” Kraeplin said. “In addition, many of our students have expressed an interest in pursuing careers in the fashion media industries.”

Kraeplin will act as director to the minor, after having years of experience as a features editor, a restaurant critic and a professor in critical studies courses involving women and the media. Fashion Media will be housed in the journalism school and requires 19 credit hours including the completion of a visual media skills course, a written media skills course, a capstone course, two history and critical studies courses, and one elective. Kraeplin is already receiving emails from interested students and believes that the minor will draw in many students because it combines several fields of study. “Students can make course

Senate sees reports on student admissions, academic calendar By MEREDITH SHAMBURGER Senior Staff Writer mshamburge@smu.edu

Chairs of two Faculty Senate subcommittees presented senators with reports on admissions at SMU and the academic calendar at their Wednesday afternoon meeting. Both reports highlighted the successes and various challenges in each subject. Christine Buchanan, chair of

the Subcommittee on Admission and Financial Aid, had both good and news for Faculty Senate. One good thing: Admissions currently has 3,428 more applications than last year, although many of those are not fully complete. Buchanan also reported that there is a lot of new energy in Enrollment Services from changes in the office. SMU’s goal is to increase applications and attract more

exceptional students. But this increase in applications isn’t necessarily translating to a higher quality of students, Buchanan said. It just means there are more applicants. Another problem is getting applicants who will actually come to SMU, not just apply. “Even if we get all these great applicants, can we yield them?”

DIETS: Students go for gluten-free foods, products However, he also said, “It’s harder [to avoid gluten] than it sounds, especially if the patient eats out in restaurants.” But even restaurants are catching on, and there are many alternatives for those with Celiac disease or wheat intolerance. Grocery stores, like Whole Foods and Central Market, have large glutenfree sections with an assortment of pastas, breads and baked goods that give many options to those who cannot handle the gluten. Grocery stores, restaurants and bakeries are catching on too and expanding their menus to include gluten-free choices. “We were actually asked in the beginning to make some gluten-free cookies and cakes, so now we’ve made them readily available to those who can’t have gluten,” said Valentino Gaiz, manager of Crème da la Cookie bakery. As well as making gluten-free options available, some restaurants that have opened are almost completely free of gluten and wheat items. Kozy Kitchen boasts a variety of gluten free entrees and desserts which gives people with Celiac disease a place to dine without the fear of not finding

anything to eat. Even SMU has made changes to their dining options. “There has been a growing demand for gluten-free options over the last couple of years. At first, RFoC (Real Food on Campus) worked one-on-one with students requesting gluten-free meals but decided this semester to open a gluten-free station featuring gluten-free entrees and desserts,” Florsheim said. SMU has made these changes, as well as adding gluten-free items to other dining areas around campus. Florsheim would recommend a gluten-free diet even to those who do not have a gluten or wheat intolerance. “Eating gluten-free can be very healthy, since it eliminates a lot of the processed foods that you should be avoiding anyway. If you replace these foods with more fruits, veggies and lean sources of protein…this would be a very healthy meal pattern,” she said. Peters said, “It is always good to cut out preservatives and foods [that] are not nutritious. Anyone can benefit from eating more natural foods!”

Buchanan said. “It’s going to be a challenge.” SMU’s first-year retention rate hasn’t dramatically improved, Buchanan said, with this year’s rate standing at 88.6 percent. The first-year retention rate shows how many first-time students return to the University the next fall. Last year’s retention stood at 88 percent. Buchanan cited the economy as a major player for students not returning to SMU. She noted that many Hunt and President’s Scholars who might be unhappy at SMU stay because it’s better for them cost-wise. “Students are shopping around for the best price,” she said, and there’s “no question that we’re competing with other schools.” Doug Reinelt, the chair of the academic calendar subcommittee, told Faculty Senate that the big challenge this year was putting more reading days into the 201213 calendar, particularly for the spring semester. Many students, including Student Body President Jake Torres, had bemoaned the lack of reading days in the upcoming academic years (none in Spring 2011, one in Fall 2011 and none in Spring 2012). Some faculty and administrators had also wanted to have more reading days. The problem for the calendar

subcommittee, Reinelt said, was whether they should add days to the schedule or take out days from existing breaks. “We didn’t really want to cut days,” he said. Reinelt also said the committee didn’t want to shorten the time between the end of classes and May graduation because that would have brought up the issues of diplomas at May graduation. To solve the problem, the committee decided to start the Spring 2013 term on the Friday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This means that students will start on Friday and then have a 3-day weekend, as MLK Day is a holiday. Regarding Torres and the rest of the student body who had fought to add more reading days to the calendar, Reinelt noted the irony that many of them would no longer be at SMU when the change took place. The 3-day weekend may cause problems for the SMU Police Department, Reinelt cautioned, but the committee felt that adding a reading day was the bigger issue. Reinelt also noted that the upcoming calendar wouldn’t have any “weird” days, such as Fridays with a Monday schedule. The committee also added days for first-year early intervention grading and sophomore/junior midterm grading.

Duo design dreamlike drama ‘Spelling Bee’ : D-E-L-I-G-H-T-F-U-L By LAUREN SMART A&E Editor lsmart@smu.edu

By LAUREN SMART A&E Editor lsmart@smu.edu

Quirky, clever and filled with the alphabet, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” has been charming audiences since its Broadway debut in 2005. Thanks to the hard work of Jason Moody, it’s taking over the Margo Jones Theatre this weekend, and it is a show you do not want to miss. The adorably irresistible production was directed, designed and built almost entirely by Moody. And the cast of vocal, theater and dance students that he has assembled is without a weak link. The musical opens with the spotlight on vocal student Laura Smolik, who has taken the role of Rona Lisa Peretti, the moderator of the spelling bee. Smolik, whose voice has been impressing people all over Dallas, fills the role of a sweet, sentimental woman with the acting skills to match her beautiful voice. Then again, the entire cast seems to be without fault. From Ryan Glenn’s hilarious Vice Principal Douglas Panch to Sudi Abernathy’s sweet-voiced Olive Ostrovsky to David Price’s snotty-nosed William Barfee, there is no one in this cast that will disappoint. This is also one of those shows that constantly breaks down the fourth wall and invites the audience into the world of

the spelling bee (four audience members are literally asked to participate). Growing up, standing out and learning to accept yourself when you fail are just three of the themes this musical wrestles with and inspire the songs. In the case of Boy Scout Chip Tolentino (Hunter Ringsmith), his big song “My Unfortunate Erection” is an explanation for why he missed the word “tittup.” Without a doubt, Moody has pulled something off that is quite astounding because “Spelling Bee” doesn’t feel like a student production at all. His costume, lighting, and set design

Collaboration must be in the air in Meadows because everyone seems to be catching onto the idea that two skills are better than one. Theater student Ezra Bookman caught the bug to collaborate with MFA visual art student Bernie Diaz for his undertaking of “Grenadine” by Neil Wechsler. “There’s a lot of potential for collaboration in Meadows,” Bookman said. “ There’s a power in combining art forms; it’s a challenge for the creators that hopefully translates to an interesting show.” Bookman found “Grenadine” when perusing bookstores in New York City. Although relatively new,

Wechsler’s play was awarded the 2008 Yale Drama Series Award by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Edward Albee. The play is a story of friendship, love and a journey. Similar in plot to “Oh Brother Where art Thou?” the play is about four friends on a journey from prison to reunite with the lives they once led. The four friends are played by Dylan Stewart, Micah Figueroa, Tyler Crim and Piper Werle. The other four theater students in the show play a total of 24 characters whom the friends encounter on this journey. These parts are performed by Alia Tavakouan, Isaac McGinley, Aneesha Kudtarkar and Nick Cains. “Grenadine captures the change that people undergo when they are faced with problems that they need to

conquer,” Bookman said. Bookman has pulled together a show that promises to be both challenging and aesthetically pleasing, thanks to Diaz’ hand drawn designs for the projected backdrops. Bookman has crafted the play into something all his own, from the white backdrop for Diaz’s backgrounds to the mixture of puppetry, shadow puppetry, physical presence and shadows. The play’s surrealism fits well into the setting that Bookman has envisioned, and the only way to fully visualize it is to come see it. “I hope the show challenges people’s preconceived notions of what theater is and should be,” Bookman said. Grenadine will be produced in Meadows B150, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 and 8 p.m.

combined with a stellar cast, perceptive direction and talented student musicians to boot will have you convinced that there are professionals behind the scenes. Since this is a student production, tickets are free (though donations are suggested), giving you absolutely no excuse not to attend this sensational show. Sensational. S-E-N-S-A…. Oh shoot, they’ve got me spelling. “Spelling Bee” opens Friday night at 8 p.m in the Margo Jones Theatre inside Owen Arts Center. Performances continue Saturday at 2 p.m., 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

choices and structure the minor based largely on their own interests,” Kraeplin said. Students will select the one of the three capstone courses after they have fulfilled all the other requirements first. “For instance, a student who

hopes to pursue fashion photography can select a series of classes leading to a Fashion Photography Capstone,” Kraeplin said. “Other tracks lead to a Fashion Journalism Capstone or a Fashion Public Relations and Promotions Capstone.” The capstone courses are the last

step in completing the minor and should be available sometime next year. With the minor in Fashion Media already generating anticipation from students and faculty, it will be interesting to see the program’s influence on the student population in years to come.

Engaging ‘Hermit Kingdom,’ changing U.S. foreign policy may pacify North Korea COMMENTARY

A UN Security Council 75-page report detailing North Korea’s violations of UN sanctions for nuclear development and proliferation was leaked in May 2009. Today’s news on WikiLeaks and Korean tensions make this information alarmingly prescient. This report reveals suspicions that North Korea is providing nuclear weapon technology to Iran, Syria and Burma—“rogue states [and] Julie Heidt rogue actors” according to a BBC report. According to the UN report, North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), disobeyed almost every “nonproliferation and disarmament standard” over the past two years. The report exposes the DPRK distribution of Magnetometers to Iran and Burma. As the report states, these magnetic, ring-like objects are “a key element in centrifuges,” and contribute to the accuracy of a nuclear weapon. Also, in 2007, North Korea was responsible for helping Syria build a nuclear reactor. This blatantly violates the non-proliferation treaty, signed in 1968, implementing a multi-lateral, international policy to reduce the spread of nuclear technology and weapons. Neighboring countries, like Russia, Japan and South Korea are increasingly concerned about the DPRK’s nuclear activities. The divide between North and South Korea is the most immediate threat given that it is the most extensively militarized boarder in the world. Russia also expresses fear with a border just over 100 kilometers away from DPRK, according to Frank Gaffney of the Washington Post. The United States, as the “nuclear watchdog,” finds North Korea’s repeated violation of the NPT a pressing issue for national security, because nuclear technology is now in the hands of “countries hostile to American foreign policy” and prevalent in “the worlds most deadly conflict zones,” as stated in an article on North Korea from worldpress. org. The current strategy encouraged by the UN and other countries is “six-party talks” between the United Nations, South and North Korea, Russia, Japan, and the United States, in hopes to attain Obama’s goal of unilateral denuclearization. The attempt to create a six-party negotiation is logically sound, but politically unrealistic, given that they have been stalled since December 2008. Obama stated at the G-20 summit, “North Korea must show a ‘seriousness of purpose’ before talks could be restarted on its nuclear disarmament.” Obama clearly maintains that North Korea must decide to end their nuclear weapons program before any negotiations will take place. Historically, “hard-line policies,” in which discourse is contingent on the end of nuclear production, results in a debilitating state of affairs between the United States and North Korea. In 2003, as a result of the President Bush’s policies, North Korea removed all cameras and monitoring technologies, and adopted extreme isolationism. Obama is using the same “bold diplomacy” of the Bush administration; however, they are providing economic incentives for Korea to accept the terms of Story continues on right - “U.S. foreign policy...”

Airline takes action against Rolls-Royce: Qantas has begun legal action against the engine supplier Rolls-Royce following the explosion of an engine on one of the airline’s Airbus A380s. Earlier, Australian air safety authorities said they had identified a serious manufacturing fault with some of Rolls-Royce’s Trent 900 engines. A misaligned component of the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine used on a Qantas A380, which exploded last month, thinned the wall of an oil pipe. Qantas has resumed flying some of its A380 planes after grounding the fleet for safety checks following the incident on Nov. 4.

Website leak reveals Pakistani President as ‘Paranoid’: The U.S. envoy to Kabul viewed Afghan President Hamid Karzai as “paranoid” and “weak,” fresh disclosures of U.S. diplomatic cables by Wikileaks show. In them, Karl Eikenberry says Karzai has “an inability to grasp the most rudimentary principles of state-building.” The cables also show deep concern about corruption in the Afghan government.

Eikenberry says he identifies two sides to Karzai —one is a “paranoid and weak individual unfamiliar with the basics of nation building” while the other is “an ever-shrewd politician who sees himself as a nationalist hero” who can save Afghanistan from being split by political rivals.

EUROPE

President Putin thanks FIFA: Russian PM Vladimir Putin has thanked FIFA “from the bottom of my heart” for choosing Russia to be the host of the 2018 World Cup. He said it had been a “difficult decision” not to come for the result earlier in the day. He did so out of respect for FIFA members who, he said, had been under unacceptable and unjustified pressure. A recent investigation by the BBC’s Panorama program, which was broadcast on Monday, accused three executive committee members of accepting payments and alleged FIFA vice-president Jack Warner attempted to supply ticket touts.

AFRICA Ivory Coast seals borders: The Ivorian military says it has sealed the country’s borders, as tensions rise amid confusion over the outcome of Sunday’s presidential election run-off. It comes hours after the Constitutional Court rejected a declaration by the electoral commission that opposition candidate Alassane Ouattara had won. Supporters of President Laurent Gbagbo had tried to block the long-delayed result, alleging fraud in the north. The border would remain closed until further notice, military spokesman Bobri Gohourou added. The head of the independent electoral commission (IEC) , Youssouf Bakayoko, said Ouattara had won 54 percent of the vote, compared to 46 percent for Gbagbo.

Oil found in Falkland Islands: A British exploration company says it has discovered oil off the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic—the second such find this year. Desire Petroleum said it would carry out further tests to assess the significance of the discovery. Oil exploration around the Falklands has angered Argentina, which challenges British sovereignty over the islands it calls the Malvinas.

Congressman Charles Rangel censured for ethics violations: Veteran New York Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel has been censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for ethics violations. The House earlier rejected calls by some congressmen to reduce punishment for the 80-yearold lawmaker. Rangel was found guilty of failing to disclose income and pay taxes on rental property, among other charges. The lawmaker stood in front of the chamber while Speaker Nancy Pelosi read the formal censure resolution. The House voted by 333 to 79 to censure Rangel. It was only the 23rd time the House has invoked the most serious punishment it can order short of expulsion. Rangel, who was found guilty of 11 ethics violations last month, said he was sorry he had put fellow House members in an embarrassing position, but added that he felt good. Source: BBC News

CampusTK is resource for students at end of semester It was a long, typical tiring Monday. I followed my usual routine for Monday eating Chick-fil-A in Hughes Trigg. As I walked in I saw blue, green, and yellow flyers all over the cafeteria. I opened my laptop and checked out www.campustk.com. I registered an account using my SMU email address and realized that this was the solution to my problem. It was completely perfect timing. I had been so frustrated because I had gone to the SMU Barnes and Nobles

store to sell my books and was going to receive pennies on the dollar. This became my life savior. It is actually like Craigslist but only for SMU students! I believe this is such a great idea. By eliminating the middleman, I will now be able to get more value for my books. However, the site is much better. It encompasses virtually any category related to students. Ranging from electronics, appliances to pet sitting and clothes, www.campustk.com will help me save

both time and money. I really like this exclusive aspect of the site. It was very user friendly, free, and easy to register an account! Currently, I have already sold four of my six textbooks. This site is great. We met on campus and it was a fast transaction! I really think that the more people use it on campus the more we will all be able to benefit from this. Especially now that the semester is coming to an end, I know I am going to be using at www.campustk.

com as a useful vehicle to get rid of extra items. Thanks and congratulations CampusTK.com for creating this exclusive online marketplace for the SMU community. Juan Pablo Chapa is a freshman finance major. He can be reached for comments or questions at jchapa@smu. edu.

U.S. foreign policy regarding North Korea requires change, cont. the UN Security Council’s stance on nuclear proliferation. Although continuity exists between the Bush and Obama administration’s policies regarding nuclear proliferation, Obama is implementing adaptive strategies—the 2010 “New START treaty” creates “arms control with Russia [through] which he hopes to set an example for other nuclear powers to disarm,” says Gaffney. Obama’s “unilateral disarmament,” nonetheless, is causing domestic skepticism of America’s seriousness in nuclear deterrence. The US is a culprit like the many nuclear powers that maintain state security by overruling nuclear disarmament agreements. Realism dominates domestic government’s foreign policy, causing an impasse in dismantling nuclear programs globally. Moreover, North Korea’s isolationist policy is the crux of the regime’s domestic power; as a result, diplomacy is a difficult task. Korea rejects the standards of behavior

set by international regulatory agencies, disallowing interaction with the outside world. This lack of information provides uncertainty and concern for actors attempting to cooperate on the international scale. From the North Korean perspective, cooperation is the antithesis of their foreign policy, given the lack of effective allies on the global stage as well as recent military engagements, most notably, the Korean War. In response to Korea’s current economic condition, providing the DPRK with economic incentives to engage in six-party talks is an appropriate route. The United States needs to relinquish its superpower outlook in order to develop relations and ease tensions with the DPRK. North Korea is an obstinate actor in foreign relations, without Chinese and Russian support, it must “play up [its] offensive capabilities to win concessions from the United States and its regional allies,” according to Gaffney. Obama’s

economic incentives are vital for negotiations to take place. In order to revolutionize international relations, North Korea needs to be part of the international dialogue. Agreeing to the UN sanctions is a key step towards diplomatic cooperation, and a necessity for the United States and its allies; from the viewpoint of North Korea, this would ensure economic and political security. Instead of persuading the “hermetic communist regime to curtail its nuclear ambitions” like Gaffney considers, I believe U.S. foreign policy should pursue an anti-hermit foreign policy with regard to North Korea. The six-party talks will allow dialogue and interaction between the international actors. Communication and information sharing is vital to create greater strength and stability in international system, quelling the fears that arise from dealing with the “black box” of the Hermit Kingdom. As a result, North Korea will appreciate the

benefits derived from participating in the international community. Given the current, dismal economic realities in North Korea, increasing international relations will provide domestic relief for the widespread poverty, as well as reinforcing the political autonomy of the state. Allowing Korea to keep their nuclear weapons, while agreeing to the NPT, will promote peace and stability in the Asian-pacific alliance, according to Paul Rodgers in “The Nuclearweapons Moment” published in OpenDemocracy. Although, a nuclear-armed state is never an optimal solution, engagement and discourse with a nuclear power is a far better policy than the current state of affairs between the Hermit Kingdom and the outside world.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Mustangs thrash Lions, 80-48 By JOHN BONADELLE Staff Writer jbonadelle@smu.edu

SMU women’s basket ball displayed an inspired win that dismanted University of ArkansasPine Bluff 80-48. The Mustangs jumped out to an early lead and controlled the game on both the offensive and defensive side of the court. SMU’s ability to spread the ball around the court and find open shooters kept the UAPB defense on their heels the entire night. SMU’s strong offensive showing was complemented by their defense who forced twenty-one turnovers which never allowed for Pine Bluff to find any rhythm. Senior guard Haley Day was the leader of the offensive charge for the Ponies. After suffering from a hard collision in the first half, Day’s perimeter shooting came alive as she hit a career best four shots from behind the arch. She was the leader of the Mustang attack with 13 points. Christine Elliot had a perfect day shooting finishing five for five from the field. Her 12 points were second highest on the team, and she was the only other Mustang to finish with double digit points. SMU head coach Rhonda Rompola was pleased with her team’s ball distribution and their ability to continue to find the open shooter all night. “We did a good job of getting the ball to Christine with her having good position on her defender,” Rompola said. The Mustangs’ hardnosed defensive play allowed them to come away unscathed with 17 turnovers and a show of poor ball possession. Arkansas-Pine Bluff ’s 48 points was the second lowest amount of points the Mustangs have surrendered to an opponent all year. The defense managed to be effective against the Lions by forcing 21 turnovers and allowing the Lions to shoot a mere 27 percent from the floor. The SMU’s ability to sustain a big lead throughout the game gave the opportunity for Rompola to get every one of her players quality playing time. Every Mustang on roster was able to record double digit minutes on the court. Mallory Singleton and Raven Short, both freshmen, gained

experience on the floor by leading the Ponies with two blocked shots apiece. Freshman Krystal Johnson was second on the team in minutes with 21 and five rebounds. The fourth freshman on roster, Akil Simpson, made her contribution to the game with nine points and a perfect 3-3 shooting game. SMU looks to bring their winning streak to five games against Big 12 foe

After establishing a three-game winning streak before hitting the road for the second time this season, the SMU men’s basketball team returns to Dallas following a 69-64 loss to the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (6-2) on Wednesday night in Ruston, La. Senior Papa Dia and junior Robert Nyakundi led the Mustangs (4-4) in scoring with 20 and 15 points, respectively. Junior Justin Haynes added 12 points. Dia’s score marked the fourth time in six games he has scored 20 or more points in a single game. Jeremiah Samarrippas, in his debut season, had four assists to bring his season total to 31. The freshman starter also added 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. Despite three players posting doubledigit scores, the Mustangs were held to just 37.5 percent in shooting from the field and 8-for-28 in three’s. Tech, led by senior DeAndre Brown with 19 points, shot 47.9 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from the long range, also nearly

doubling the Mustangs on the boards. Tech had 42 rebounds on the night compared to SMU’s 27. SMU did collect more points in turnovers, though, adding 22 points off Tech turnovers to their final score. SMU, who has struggled with their assist-toturnover ratio, gave up 12 points to the Bulldogs 9-to-11. Ahead by one point at the half, SMU seemed to be on their way to their first road win of the season, but the Bulldogs pulled ahead for the win at the 15-minute mark with a three-pointer from Brown. Tech sealed their sixth win at home with three minutes left as they established a game-high 11-point lead. The Mustangs came within one basket of tying the game of the second on four occasions but never managed to regain the lead. Senior Mike Walker nailed a three with four seconds left to come within three of the Bulldogs, but a foul by SMU junior Rodney Clinkscales sent Brown to the line for two successful free throws to end the game. SMU fell to 8-3 against the Bulldogs in the 12th meeting between the schools. SMU has not defeated Louisiana Tech

since 2005 and is 1-4 all-time in Ruston, La. Looking for a win before taking a two-week break before play resumes on Dec. 18, the Mustangs return to Moody Coliseum this weekend to host the Grambling State Tigers (1-6) on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Tigers have plenty of experience but little success on the road, having won only one game this season in a 77-76 overtime win against Southeast Missouri State on Nov. 22 on the road. Having yet to play a game on their home court, the Tigers are 1-4 on the road this season. Juniors Justin Patton with 15.5 points averaged per game and Brandon Wilson with 11.3 points per game lead Grambling State. As a team, the Tigers have allowed their opponents 81.7 points per game, allowing other teams to shoot an average of 46.3 percent from the field. SMU, who previously had a three-game winning streak at Moody Coliseum prior to Wednesday’s loss to Louisiana Tech, is 4-2 on their home court.

University of Kansas this Saturday in Moody Coliseum at 2 p.m. The Mustangs are scheduled to play two more games at Moody before heading to Las Vegas for the Basketball Traveler’s Classic, a tournament stocked full with talented teams such as University of Texas, University of San Francisco and University of Nevada–Las Vegas.
