SMU students attend Trump’s inauguration LISA SALINAS Editor-in-Chief lmsalinas@smu.edu All eyes were on Donald Trump at the Jan. 20 inaugural address in Washington D.C. Supporters and protestors alike watched as Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. Over 20 SMU students had the opportunity to witness the inaugural address first hand as a part of a two-week special topics class offered during the January term before the spring 2017 semester started. Students chose to take the class before the results of the presidential election were known; both supporters and non-supporters were present in the class. This particular special topics is organized every four years by SMU faculty. This years’s course was organized by Christopher Salinas, director of public discourse in the Division of Communication Studies. Salinas thinks the class provided an exceptional opportunity for students to be present at such a history moment in history. “This is one of those unique experiences you want from college,” Salinas said in a SMU press release. “Years from now, students won’t remember everything that happened in the classroom, but they will remember this ... for the rest of their lives, they will remember they were at a presidential inaugural address.” Students from the class also agreed this was a once-ina-lifetime opportunity. Junior Mariela Tanchez said she believes citizens have a duty to participate and pay attention to the these historic events. “The only way we’re going to make a change is to get involved,” Tanchez said. “This is the start of a new chapter.” Some students had a particular interest in witnessing this event. The inaugural address directly relates to first-year Kailen Kershner’s planned major. “I’m an incoming political science major and I’m really interested in the political process,” Kershner said. “I’ll get to experience the fundamental principles that America was based upon.” This was even some of the students’ first time in the capital. Such was the case for Junior Shayan Gaziani, who believes that partaking in this event was important despite whether one was for or against President Trump. “To be close to something so important is astonishing,” Gaziani said. “Regardless of the outcomes of the elections, the fundamental values remain the same, the peaceful pursuit of power and national unity.” Many did not know what to expect from Trump’s inaugural speech. Junior Will Budner said it could only go one of two ways. “There is a clear contrast between appreciating constituents and appreciating one’s self,” Budner said prior to the inauguration. “We’ll see whether it turns into one of his thank you tour moments where he talks about how great he is or does what he did at his acceptance speed after the election.” The Campus Weekly talked with students following the inaugural address to get their reflections, including that of

President Trump’s speech. “I think he should have done something different, the way he spoke seemed really familiar,” Tanchez said. Senior Trina Jo-Pardo also thought Trump should have approached his speech differently. “I remember listening and thinking to myself ‘Is he really saying this?’ It should have been Trump’s moment to try and bring America together and I think he missed the ball completely,” Jo-Pardo said. The crowd at the inaugural address was definitely split as it had been throughout the election, according to Tanchez. “It was really divided,” Tanchez said. “Trump supporters were adamant about being against anyone who was not with them, and Trump´s opponents were the same.” Jo-Pardo agrees there was definitely a separation between these two groups of people. “If you weren’t a Trump supporter, then it was probably in your best interest to pretend like it,” Jo-Pardo said. “The crowds chanted ‘lock her up’ against Hillary Clinton and even booed at Barack and Michelle Obama.” It was an inaugural address unlike any other, according to Jo-Pardo. “Inaugurations are supposed to be a peaceful transition of power, and it didn’t feel peaceful,” she said. Many protests erupted following the inaugural address, particularly the Women’s March in Washington D.C. and around the world. SMU associate journalism professor Jake Batsell was in the capital for the march. He and his wife, Tracy Everbach, an associate professor of journalism at the University of North Texas, felt it was necessary to partake in the movement. “We felt that it was really important to express our support for brave women journalists who do their jobs and put themselves at risk to inform the public,” Batsell said. “We thought it was important to say that loudly and proudly.” Despite the discourse and division in the country following the inaugural address, Tanchez said she believes this is the time for everyone to come together. “I think this is a crucial time for this country to unite despite their different feelings,” Tanchez said. “At the end of the day we all want the best for our country.”

Vegan diet increases in popularity on campus MEREDITH MCBEE Contributing Writer mkmcbee@smu.edu SMU student Caroline Corley never anticipated she would give up animal products in her diet. She also never thought she would experience migraines up to five times a week. A cleanse of dairy and a screening of the film “Cowspiracy” turned the headache-plagued omnivore into a full-fledged herbivore. Corley did not look back after she went vegan last spring. A vegan diet contains no meat, eggs, dairy or other animal products. This diet has surged in popularity and has spread to the SMU campus. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who maintain a vegan diet need to be careful they receive proper nutrients. Vegans often have deficiencies in vitamins B-12, D, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids. “It is important to do adequate research or speak with a registered dietitian before changing to a vegan lifestyle to ensure adequate consumption of these nutrients,” SMU dietician Rachel Kolm said. Out of the four main deficiencies, vitamin B-12 is the only one found solely in animal products. Most vegans, like SMU student Rupal Sanghavi and Corley, receive this nutrient through vitamins. Sanghavi credits good education and proper research to receiving information on getting the proper nutrients. “I’ve found lists of foods for every single nutrient that is covered in a non-vegetarian/vegan diet that can be found in lentils, vegetables, tofu, any soy or almond milk,” Sanghavi said. The dining halls at SMU have started to cater to those living a vegan lifestyle. Corley often eats at the “Healthy on the Hilltop” section of Umphrey Lee where there is a vegan dish for lunch and dinner. She also often eats wraps without meat or cheese. The dining hall also takes precautions to ensure no crosscontamination, Kolm said. The dining hall staff prepares vegan menu items separately from non-vegan items. Rarely do Corley and Sanghavi have issues eating out at restaurants. “Sometimes I have to have an awkward maneuver with how I order things, like ordering a bunch of side dishes,” Corley said. “Most places are very accommodating.” Sanghavi once had a problem at a traditional Mexican restaurant when the wait staff did not understand her dietary needs. “That was only one time out of all the times that I got truly frustrated,” Sanghavi said. National chain restaurants like Chipotle and Mellow Mushroom have begun to cater to customers following a vegan lifestyle. “Every restaurant I go to I usually ask for no cheese or to

Mark Rudich, SMU lecturer of applied physiology and wellness, is not a fan of the word “diet.” He believes becoming vegan can help increase the intake of fruits, vegetables, different grains and protein varieties. He does not advise the vegan diet as a short-term fix for anyone–athlete or not. “If any one of these individuals is not vegan to start out with, I see no reason to recommend that lifestyle,” Rudich said. “There are many other ways to see change than a drastic nutritional alternation like veganism.” Health reasons are not the only motivation for converting to a vegan diet, for some, like Sanghavi, ethics can also be a factor. Sanghavi became vegan after doing research on the animal rights. She found companionship in others who are passionate about animal rights in the SMU Voice of Animals organization, for which she is now president. “We do as much as we can to get people to have a more direct impact by changing some form of their lifestyle or actions,” Sanghavi said. Not all of the members of the organization are vegan, but many are vegetarian. In the past, the organization has screened films like “Conspiracy” and “Earthlings.” Both films address the ethics of the animal industry. Corley credits the film “Cowspiracy” with giving her the reason to ultimately go vegan. “That was the documentary that really changed everything for me,” Corley said. “It was the thing that gave me the kick in the pants to just do it.” Corley said she has never felt better. She is free of migraines and no longer feels heavy after meals. She suggests the lifestyle to anyone, but advises those interested to watch their nutrient intake. “You can be an unhealthy vegan, you can be a super healthy vegan, just like you can be a healthy person who eats meat and you can be an unhealthy person who eats meat, Corley said.

Red Hot Chili Peppers leave Dallas crowd rocking RODMAN STEELE Contributing Writer jsteele@smu.edu The Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked the American Airlines Center on Jan. 8 in downtown Dallas during their latest tour. Nearly 20,000 fans gathered and enjoyed a mind-blowing concert by the fabled rock n’ roll quartet. Staring at the stage, one could immediately notice the simplicity of the band’s setup. The drums sat on a platform across the simple stage. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house. The lights dimmed as a roar erupted from the crowd in anticipation of the show, filling the venue with hoops and hollers. Josh Klinghoffer was first to take the stage, claiming stage right and flashing his guitar axe. Then the rock idol, Flea, appeared stage left, sporting a sleeveless suit that was covered in flashy colors and neon accents from head to toe. Around his neck hung his polished black fourstring bass, which he swung as he paced around the stage like a boxer claiming his ring before a fight. Chad Smith mounted his throne behind a gleaming drum set, and finally the frontman, Anthony Kiedis, ran up to his center stage microphone. The band fell into another famous Chili Pepper funky jam break,

which they tend to do to start a show. The stage lit up as soon as the band began to play, which revealed two large screens backing the stage and an elaborate array of lights hanging over the floor of the venue. The band filled the venue with an electric energy, leaving the audience in awe of their refined talent. Flea and Klinghoffer convened at the drum set as Kiedis danced wildly all around the stage until suddenly the jam halted and Klinghoffer lashed out the opening riff of the Red Hot hit “Can’t Stop.” The Chili Peppers were now in full swing. The first song took the audiences’ breath away; they were simply in awe at the instant the band took their place on stage. It was nothing short of surreal, being in the presence of such acclaimed rock veterans. The band held the audience with intensity all

the way through the show. The lights that hung overhead flashed through each number, creating beautiful visuals to complement the insanity on stage. The Red Hot Chili Peppers played a number of their hits, including “Californication” and “Under the Bridge,” as well as tracks from their new album “The Getaway.” The musicians’ swagger, prowess and energy were astounding, and almost inhuman. Although the light show was simple, it made the performance even more captivating with its unique use of the moving lights overhead. The Chili Peppers still have that barbaric livelihood that’s shaped them into the unique act they are. “Give it Away” closed the encore and left the crowd in hysterics and wanting more; awaiting the next show.

Blues duo Muddy Magnolias talks writing, touring, recording RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Fresh off their debut album, Muddy Magnolias is restarting their tour with a stop in Dallas. The duo, composed of Kallie North and Jessy Wilson, is making a name for itself in the world of blues with its first release, “Broken People.” North and Wilson were kind enough to take the time to chat about their album and tour. Which stops in Dallas Jan. 27 at the Granada Theater. CW: Are there any destinations on the tour that you’re looking forward to? Kallie North: Well, I’m from Beaumont, Texas, so the Beaumont Jazz Festival, which I didn’t know existed but am excited that it does. They invited us to headline and I’ve never played in my hometown before. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back in Beaumont so I’m excited about seeing all my friends from high school. People are coming out of the woodwork: my high school choir director, my drama teacher, just random people that are curious to come see my band. CW: So how did you guys get the duo started? KN: Well, I was in Mississippi working as a photographer and writing songs on the side. I drove to Nashville to see if I could open a career in songwriting and there was a man that was working on Music Row and he was really taken by my music and wanted to help me. To tell him “thank you,” I gave him one of those photographs that I had taken while I was living in the Mississippi Delta of an old, run-down piano. It was framed and he put it on his desk and Jessy had come to Nashville.

She was singing background for John Legend and had decided to leave that for songwriting and she wanted to go to Nashville and see what it was all about. She actually walked into that office and saw that picture sitting on that desk and asked to meet the photographer and it was me, so we met up for drinks and started writing tunes and next thing you know, we were the Muddy Magnolias. CW: You guys released your debut album earlier this year. What has that been like? JW: Yeah, we released that back in October and it’s been really exciting. It took us a long time to write the album because we were in another situation. We were signed to Capital Records and really we’ve written two albums. We wrote an album under Capital Records and then after being released from that label we took maybe a couple of the songs but really wrote a whole new album and released it under Third Generation. So when we released it we were reallyexcited about the songs and the sound, so it’s been great. CW: What’s your favorite song off the album? KN: “Why Don’t You Stay” is our favorite. JW: I think my second favorite is probably “Take Me Home” and then “Leave it to the Sky.” KN: And my secondfavorite changes all the time but this weekend it’s “It Ain’t Easy.” CW: Why those songs in particular? KN: “Why Don’t You Stay” was the last song we wrote before we went into the studio. We actually thought we were finished writing for our album and we went in to a writing session

and “Why Don’t You Stay” was born a week before a recoding session. We were so obsessed with it that we were like “Oh my God, this has to go on our record.” There was just such an excitement around that song because it turned into such an amazing arrangement. So that’s why I like that song, because it’s kind of the underdog that just showed up out of nowhere. And then “Leave it to the Sky”— that song is really, really special to us because John Legend played on it, but that’s not the only reason. We wrote two songs that day. That was the second one that we wrote but in the weeks after that, that song gave us such peace and healing when we were going through hard times in our lives. So the fact that our own song turned around and healed us later, we believe that music can be very healing to people, and ultimately that was the reason we put the song on the record, because if that song healed us in such a hard time, imagine what it can do for fans that discover it. We actually tossed around the idea for a while, like, “Is that song too pop to put on this record?” I’m really glad that we didn’t talk ourselves out of it because it’s one of our favorites. CW: Were there any songs that didn’t make the album that you really liked? KN: Are you spying on us? ‘Cause we were just talking about this. The answer is yes, we wrote a ton of songs for this project and there are so many. I was literally thinking last night about all the songs I want to explore in a studio setting and that I don’t just want to cast away.

Jessy Wilson (left) and Kallie North (right) make up MuddyMagnolias.

We definitely have a roll over of songs that are really great songs and we’ve even done a few of them live that aren’t even on this record that our band already knows

just from watching YouTube videos. I’m sure just because of them we’ve got to figure out how to record them and get them on there because I’ve got a couple people that

won’t stop bothering me about “Alright” and “Down by the Riverside.” They’re like, When are we going to get those songs?” And I’m like, “I’m working on it!”

Milton dazzles; Mustangs swat Houston, 85-64 REECE KELLEY GRAHAM Sports Writer rkgraham@smu.edu

Mollie Mayfield

A career-high scoring effort from SMU guard Shake Milton leads SMU to victory over Houston.

From the moment the SMU coaching staff saw Shake Milton play for the first time, they knew he would be special. Considering the interest Milton garnered as a prospect out of high school, others also had high hopes for him. During his junior and senior years, the four-star guard may have been the biggest attraction in Owasso, Okla. When Milton committed to SMU in October 2014, the program gained a player a future could be built around. Milton, though just a sophomore, is currently playing beyond his years. His 27-point performance in the Mustangs’ 85-64 win over Houston Jan. 21 showed off Milton’s ability to score from anywhere. For a team with so many interchangeable parts, Milton is becoming a constant. “My teammates did a great job of feeding me,” Milton said in the postgame press conference. “Them having that confidence in me really helps my game and allows me to be confident in my shot.” Milton has finished in double figures 17 times this season. Coming off a seasonhigh, 23-point performance against Connecticut on Jan. 19, Milton’s 27 against Houston set a new career high. He shot 67 percent (10for-15) from the field and 75 percent (6-for-8) from threepoint range. “Did anyone have a

better week in America than Shake?” SMU head coach Tim Jankovich asked postgame. “His confidence is sky-high.” Jankovich attributed much of Milton’s success to the sophomore’s mature ingame vision. “We knew when we recruited him he was an outstanding player,” Jankovich said. “Great players see the game and play the game in slow motion. Shake has that naturally. We saw that in high school — that is a talent. You put on top of that his I.Q., his dribbling, passing, shooting skills and size – that’s a real player right there,” Jankovich said. Milton’s vision may be rubbing off on his teammates as the Mustangs methodically dissected a Cougars squad that is playing some of its best basketball in years. SMU’s crisp passing led to high-percentage shots that kept the Mustangs in the lead the entire way. SMU shot 57 percent from the field and 48 percent from three-point range. On the defensive end, SMU set up shop on the perimeter, making the night tough for a Houston team with the best collection of three-point shooters in the American Athletic Conference. “I thought we guarded tremendous the first half,” Jankovich said. “I couldn’t have been happier…that was really important.” Offense may have been SMU’s best defense against Houston. Whenever the Cougars would cut into the lead with deep shots, the Mustangs would answer. Five Mustangs scored in

double figures. Both teams combined for 27 made threepointers, but SMU shot a higher percentage. “We’re a very unselfish team,” Milton said. “So whoever’s hot is going to get the ball.” SMU forward Semi Ojeleye also had a 20 point night, adding six rebounds and four assists. Ojeleye has now tallied eight 20+ scoring performances on the season. Seniors Ben Moore and Sterling Brown added 10 points apiece and showed great poise on the defensive end. SMU won the rebounding margin by 12 (35-23), eight of which were brought down by Brown. Sophomore guard Jarrey Foster finished with five points after playing only 18 minutes in the first half. Foster did not return from the locker room following halftime after suffering an undisclosed injury. Jankovich gave no updates on Foster’s condition postgame, but did say Foster wanted to play. Foster took a couple of hard hits on the defensive end in the first half and was already playing with an illness. Guard Ben Emelogu, who absorbed most of Foster’s minutes, finished with a season high 13 points on 83 percent (5-for-6) shooting from the field and 75 (3-for-4) percent shooting from deep. Taking down a conference rival by 21 at home is not just enjoyable for the fans, but also the players. As SMU continues to hit its stride in conference play, the Mustangs will try to make the most of every moment.

SMU wide receiver Courtland Sutton is returning to school for the 2017 season.

SMU Athletics

Sutton puts off NFL, returns to SMU PHIL MAYER Sports Writer pmayer@smu.edu Courtland Sutton admitted NFL paychecks sounded really nice, But not at the expense of leaving his goals at SMU unfulfilled. Sutton, SMU’s star wide receiver, announced Jan. 11 he will be returning to SMU for the 2017 season instead of declaring for the 2017 NFL Draft. The main reason? Unfinished business. “I don’t expect anything less than for us to be competing for a conference championship and playing in a really big bowl,” Sutton said. The decision to return involves personal goals too. “I’m committed to being the best receiver in college football next year,” he said. “That’s something I know I can achieve, but it’s not going to be something I’m going to achieve by myself.” Sutton is expected to graduate from SMU in December. Part of that commitment is focusing on football yearround, so those hoping to see him on the court at Moody Coliseum will be

disappointed. Sutton said he will not be joining SMU’s basketball team, which he did last season. “I’ll be out there at 5 a.m., getting my runs in, getting my lifts,” Sutton said. “I’m going to be a football player 100 percent.” SMU head coach Chad Morris and wide receivers coach Justin Stepp flew to Sutton’s hometown of Brenham, Texas, last week to discuss the decision. The goal wasn’t to sway him one way or another, but to present him with all the information he needed to make the decision. “It’s my job as his head coach to provide him with all the facts,” Morris said. Morris said he studied the last 10 NFL Drafts and found an average of four wide receivers were selected in the first round. Sutton’s stock as a first-round pick was far from certain. Some draft analysts and scouts ranked Sutton among the top five players at his position, while others pegged him as a third-day selection if he were to declare. Sutton said he also paid attention to other receivers who declared for the draft. “One thing sitting down

to talk to Coach Morris about was that coming back for this next year is only going to solidify my spot,” Sutton said. “I won’t have to worry about the ‘ifs’ next year. Next year, once I’m able to get another year under my belt, to mature a little bit more, that’s going to only help my stock be solidified as a top pick.” Morris said Sutton has the traits to be as good as one receiver he recruited and coached at Clemson who is strongly in consideration to be the first receiver taken in this May’s draft. “This guy has all the intangibles, all the measurables, to be a Mike Williams, a top-15 pick,” Morris said. “He understands he’s got to get bigger, got to get stronger, he’s got to work on his route running and his defensive recognition.” The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Sutton caught 76 passes for 1,246 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, all team-highs.

Despite the consistent media outcry and challenges along the way, Donald Trump is now officially the 45th U.S. President. While he has overcome a surprising amount of challenges to take the highest office in the land, it seems as if he is set up for failure. Whether he succeeds in his perceived policies and campaign promises, changes them completely or fails to accomplish anything altogether, Trump seems to be in a lose-lose situation. Trump succeeding in his policies is what liberals and the news media seem to fear most. If one were to believe the protesters, Facebook posters and media pundits, Trump’s success would quickly hurl the nation back into the past with rampant racism, sexism and isolationism prevailing with the planet sinking into the grips of global warming. Trump succeeding in even some of his policies would cause a media firestorm and would only prolong the protests which have dominated the coverage between his election victory and inauguration – even now, groups seek to challenge the legality of his presidency. If Trump instead changes his policies to be more bipartisan or backs down from some of his trademark policies, then he would stand to alienate his base and suffer massive losses in the next election.

STAFF COLUMN

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

It would seem that many of the Trump hallmarks are no-compromise issues for his base. If he fails to fight for the wall, pro-life policies, economic protectionism and other policies, many of his voters will likely look elsewhere for a candidate to support. The media reaction would likely be mixed into this as well, with some praising the change of heart and others snidely calling him a liar. And if Trump totally fails to get anything done during his time in office, then the story will be that he was indeed incompetent after all, making it a huge mistake to elect someone with no political experience to the presidency. He would have a hard time fasttalking himself out of any lack of progress, as he is guaranteed at least two years of GOP majorities in both the Senate and the House. These things considered, it seems as if a second term for Trump would be a long shot. Yes, it perhaps is a little early to start considering the next president when the current one is just barely sworn in, but I guarantee you that politicians are already considering it

and the story of the next election is already being written. While a second term may not seem likely on the surface, two things are most certainly true: first is that what policies he chooses to pursue and their success are an unknown factor; second that normal rules of logic and politics do not apply to Trump. If Trump is able to spark an economic takeoff or be in the right place at the right time to take credit for one, that could possibly seal his next election victory. However, that would seem difficult to predict at this time, and it is questionable whether even an economic takeoff could convert those who are against his social policies. Regardless of the successes and failures of his individual policies, Trump’s best quality up to this point has been his ability to defy all conventional wisdom and logic about politics. No facts, missteps or traditional qualifications could keep Trump out of office. If he is able to maintain his control of his own persona, write his own news stories via Twitter, and keep his current winning streak ,then anything is possible for the next election. So while those who lamented Clinton’s loss may see a glimmer of hope in Trump’s current situation, with Trump it seems as if no one knows exactly what is going to happen next.

A tied flannel allows you to stay cool.

Elevate your outfit with a pair of booties.

Easy tricks to outsmart Dallas’ winter weather HALEY IVY Contributing Writer hivy@smu.edu You never know what you are going to get with Dallas weather this time of year. It can be chilly in the morning when you walk out your front door and by the time you are out of your first class you find yourself breaking a sweat in the hot sun walking across campus. Weathering this climate doesn’t always have to be a daily battle. You want to style your sweater, jeans and boots but don’t want to have a heat stroke while doing so. Here are a few winter fashion tips for staying cool while dressing warm.

Flannels A must-have item for the winter is a flannel shirt. The mornings are usually a little cooler, so wear it over a T-shirt dress or a tank and shorts. In the afternoon, tie it around your waist to stay cool. Madison Kapfer, the manager at E. Leigh’s

Boutique in Snider Plaza, says a trendy flannel shirt is a great transition piece for cooler climates. “Flannels have been around for decades but designers are coming up with newer styles for the classic look,” Kapfer said. “The lace-up look is very popular this season and it adds a trendy touch to a simple shirt.” Many of the boutiques around SMU are currently carrying flannels, but if online shopping is more your thing, Nordstrom has a handful to choose from.

Booties Another great transition piece is a pair of booties. Instead of slipping on sandals, take your T-shirt dress and flannel and pair them with booties that will keep your feet covered in the colder mornings, yet are cool enough for the afternoon. SMU first-year and fashionista Cambley Sassman says booties are her go-to shoes this season. “Booties are a great transition shoe because they

aren’t as hot as riding boots, yet you still get the boot look,” Sassman said. “They’re also great shoes to go out in because they give you the height of a heel but are comfortable enough to wear out all night.” You can also find booties at shops in Snider Plaza, or if you don’t want to spend a lot of money, check out Saks Off Fifth for discounted shoes.

Dark Lipstick The final touch for any transition outfit is dark lipstick. Your outfit can switch from warm weather to cool by simply changing your lipstick color from a bright pink to a dark berry. A big winter makeup trend is matte lipstick. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Kat Von D have come out with their own makeup lines that carry darker lip colors. You can find matte lipstick at any beauty store such as Sephora or Ulta or check out the celebrities’ websites.
