The Daily Campus is proud to announce that it will be hosting a televised debate for the Dallas mayoral race candidates this spring.

We have partnered with KTVT, the local CBS affiliate, and the debate will be aired live from the Hughes-Trigg Theater on Tuesday, April 19 at 7 p.m.

All three candidates, Ron Natinsky, Mike Rawlings and David Kunkle have confirmed there attendance.

“We are excited to be hosting such an important event for the city of Dallas,” said Jessica Huseman, politics editor for The Daily Campus and the head of the steering committee for the event. “The rest of the steering committee and I believe that this is a unique opportunity for SMU, and it will put us in the spotlight for one of Dallas’ most important races.”

The steering committee for the event also includes David De la Fuente, president of SMU College Democrats; Chad Cohen, president of SMU College Republicans; Opinion editor Adriana Martinez, the executive director of the Tower Center’s Student Forum; Alex Ehmke, a member of Student Senate and Meredith Shamburger, online editor for The Daily Campus.

Huseman and De la Fuente first discussed the possibility in January, and the group was able to gain candidates’ interest by February.

De la Fuente is eager for the opportunity to come to campus.

“An SMU that strives to be the centerpiece of Dallas-area politics is an SMU that will be able to provide more educational opportunities for its students, while at the same time, serving the Dallas community,” he said.

The Daily Campus and KTVT are still planning the final format of the debate, but KTVT will be providing the moderator.

One person from each geographical area of Dallas will make a panel to ask questions, with hopes to bridge the gaps existing in the various areas of the city.

Panel members will most likely be from community papers and blogs from the respective areas. Students will also be able to participate.

The Daily Campus is still selling sponsorships for the debate, ranging in price from $50 to $500, including benefits such as recognition in advertisements, advertisements in the program, the ability to have an informational booth in the lobby of the event and reserved seats to the debate. Any member of the steering committee can assist in providing further information.

A portion of the theater will include reserved seating, but the majority will be free and open to the public.

Huseman believes this opportunity for the Dallas community is just as great of a chance for SMU students.

“Our goal is to have as many SMU students as possible at this event,” Huseman said. “SMU students are a large part of the city of Dallas, so there is no reason we shouldn’t make our mark on Dallas politics as well.”

Women’s Symposium welcomes Julie Powell,talk of happiness

Talk of happiness and celebration of joy was abundant during the 46th Annual Women’s Symposium Wednesday.

Women from all over Dallas-Fort Worth gathered in the Hughes-Trigg ballroom for the event.

Karen L. Click, the director of SMU’s Women’s Center for Gender Pride and initiatives, introduced this year’s theme, “Happiness is…” as she explained what makes her happy.

“My automatic, you’re blowing out the birthday candles, go-to wish has always been for happiness,” Click said. “It seems that when women are together we’re always talking about happiness.”

She explained that, as opposed to the topics of previous years, which have included women’s health and politics, this topic was meant to be a more open-ended exploration that would allow the participants to finish the sentence.

The big event of the day was Keynote Speaker Julie Powell, the author of the bestselling book, “Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously,” which was popularized even more when Nora Ephron turned it into a film starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.

When Powell took the stage as the luncheon was wrapping up, she

introduced herself as being an inefficient expert on the subject of happiness.

“I think I’ve had a series of misconceptions about what [happiness] actually is,” Powell said. “I think I thought from an early age that happiness is something that has to be given.”

She went on to chronicle how her perception of the source of happiness eventually changed to approval, a belief she sees many young people clutching onto. It wasn’t until later in her life

that she understood that happiness is something that must be accepted and that you must constantly allow it to come into your life.

Her talk was followed by afternoon sessions entitled “What is Happiness?” “Whatever Floats Your Boat!” and “Mona Lisa Smile: Portraying Happiness through art.” The sessions remained focused on pursuing and accepting happiness, through talks about the essence of happiness and activities that

promoted it, including a chocolate tasting, massages and yoga.

Christine Jarosz has been participating in the Women’s Symposium for years and was asked to set up her table representing Words of Women a little bit differently this year. “They asked us to focus on happiness, so I set up my table saying ‘happiness is making a difference,’” Jarosz said. “I’ve been setting up for about six or 10 years now. I’m starting to feel like an old-timer.”

Jarosz received one of the community awards at last year’s symposium and said that this year it has been enjoyable to really feel like part of the community.

The day culminated in the awards presentation and an improvisational comedy show featuring Heroine Addiction, an all-female comedy troupe.

Powell said the experience was a very warm one.

“It’s been very friendly,” Powell said. “I felt very appreciated, which was nice.”

The celebration of women continues around the globe with International Women’s Day on March 8.

American author Julie Powell speaks at the annual SMU Women’s Symposium Wednesday afternoon.

Heroine Addiction performed an improvisational comedy show Wednesday evening as apart of SMU’s 46th Annual Women’s Symposium. The theme this year for the Women’s Symposium was “Happiness is…”, which encouraged people to finish the sentence in the blank with their idea of happiness.

Heroine Addiction consists of four girls: Jenny Clifton, Christa Haberstock, Lynsey Hale and Dawn Douglass. The girls met at Ad Libs, one of Dallas’ popular improvisation clubs.

The group sent the crowd into roars of laughter as they jokingly filled in the blanks of “happiness is…” to them.

These four women’s act consisted of playing interactive

improv games on stage, beginning with the Bell Ringer. In this game, one person is assigned to hold the bell while others act out a scene. Every time the bell ringer rings the bell, the players have to change the last line that was just said.

Heroine Addiction had the entire crowd rolling with laughter as they acted out the simple task of fishing.

Heroine Addiction also played games that brought in the audience. Mr. Know-It-All is an improv game where the people on stage act as one person and they speak as if they have one mind. To do this, the players speak one word at a time to respond to the audience questions.

The group chose a member of the audience to join the collective mind of Mr. Know-It-All.

Sophomore Bekah Boyer went on stage and answered the audiences’ questions.

“Normally I would call the

experience nerve-racking, but I was having so much fun that all I could do was laugh,” Boyer said.

The cast ended the show with a game called Party Quirks. One person from the group, in this case Clifton, left the room while the other three were given weird quirks or personalities chosen by the audience.

Haberstock was Harry Potter, Hale was a porcupine, and Douglass had a zombie fetish. Clifton then came back into the room and threw a party for her three guests during which she had to guess their quirks. She sent the entire audience into hysterics.

The crowd left Hughes-Trigg theater and immediately started buying Heroine Addiction’s book, “Recipes for a Funner Life: Cooking with Improv to Improve Communication, Confidence & Get More Happy.”

At some point or another everyone has been a victim of cellphone negligence. Just this week Ke$ha started blaring in the middle of my accounting class. The girl fumbled around and silenced the club mix about 15 seconds in to the song.

Cell phones – while they keep us connected 24/7 and distract us at times, they definitely have their perks. Now, smartphones can save you money.

With so many apps to choose from, it can be daunting to sift through all the noise. Find the right apps and they can be a powerful tool.The RedLaser app allows users to compare prices using a cell phone camera to scan a barcode and search.

Think about the concept of those scanners placed at the end of isles to look up prices on random items. Now put that technology in the hands of anyone with a smartphone. Add in the capability to search the web by an exact bar code. You end up with is the best deal for the item.

If you haven’t filled up the tank or turned on the news in a while, gas prices are up, a lot. One app that helps compare those extra pennies on the gallon is GasBuddy. It uses GPS technology to compare prices from gas stations nearby. You can sort by price, location and fuel type.

It’s no secret our campus is one of the best dressed around. Just take a look up from your phone screen next time you’re on the way to class, or don’t. Instead, browse Gilt, which offers luxury goods up to 70 percent off retail prices. There are new deals published every day at 11 a.m. on the app. The discounts are something to capitalize on. Quality designer items don’t have to be expensive, but don’t lollygag or someone else will snatch up your goods.

All of the apps mentioned are free, but availably varies by device. Fire up your app store and get to saving. Your home screen and wallet will never be the same.

Former DMN editor speaks on Burma ChroniclesBy BETHANY SUBA

Copy Editorbsuba@smu.edu

Rena Pederson, a former vice president and editorial page editor of The Dallas Morning News, came to Southern Methodist University Thursday night to speak to students, faculty and members of the Dallas community about the corruption in Burma, specifically the story of Aung San Suu Kyi.

When Pederson first heard about Aung San Suu Kyi she knew she had to meet her. For a woman who was under house arrest for forming a Burmese opposition politician group, Pederson considered Suu Kyi to be a very interesting political prisoner.

“To me [Burma] is like the garden of good and evil,” Pederson said. The people aspire to a spiritual life but face evil every day.

Suu Kyi is a Burmese woman who has had to face the evils in Burma. Forming

the National League of Democracy, Suu Kyi has promoted the need for change in Burma. After numerous speeches calling for freedom and democracy Burma’s dictator, Than Shwe, had Suu Kyi placed under house arrest.

When Pederson arrived in Burma she discovered Suu Kyi’s extreme measures of security and had to convince a diplomat to smuggle her in. After listening to the struggles Suu Kyi was going through Pederson decided to write a book, “The

Burma Chronicles: The Story of Aung San Suu Kyi and the War for the Soul of Burma,” in hopes of informing people of Suu Kyi’s story and the tragedy people face in Burma.

“[People] do see some signs of hope,” Pederson said, but the Burmese people live in fear of the government.

“People cling to superstitions because they are covering their basis,” she said. “They are going to try everything they can to protect themselves.”

SMU students are notoriously fashionable, and we have been known to have a handful of fairly successful fashion and jewelry designers enroll in classes on the hilltop.

Although SMU has never offered a major, much less a class in “fashion design,” our campus is stocked with students who aspire to be fashion designers or work in the fashion industry post-graduation.

But this year we are in the midst of an internationally acclaimed fashion designer. This year’s talent is an SMU freshman who is not only the name behind a well-known clothing brand, but she also has her line in more than 120 stores worldwide, has graced hundreds of magazine covers and presented at Milan and New York Fashion Weeks.

The fashion designer turned student I am referring to is Kira Plastinina.

Students who follow fashion picked up on the buzz about Plastinina being on campus in the fall, but the designer, who calls Russia home, initially wanted to keep a low profile in Dallas.

“I really didn’t want to tell everyone about my work when I came here, especially at the beginning of the semester,” Plastinina said about her desire to separate her fashion career from her college career. “A

lot of people asked me to talk about it and I didn’t want to, I wanted to sort of transition first and make my friends.”

Plastinina managed to keep her fashion fame private from most of her fellow classmates. But after presenting her Fall 2011 LUBLU Kira Plastinina collection at New York Fashion Week last month, her name garnered some inevitable publicity.

Plastinina launched LUBLU in 2008 but the designer started her career with a self-titled line Kira Plastinina at the groundbreaking age of 14.

“The Kira Plastinina line is just my store and it is mass-market segment for girls 14 to 25 years old,” Plastinina said of her namesake line. “Then I have a more upper-line, LUBLU KiraPlastinina, which is what was presented at New York Fashion Week.”

Plastinina’s high-end collection, LUBLU, is manufactured in Italy and is sold worldwide at prestigious retailers, like Harrod’s in London. The collection can be found at her American flagship store on the celebrity shopping hot spot Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Actress Katie Holmes and designer Jeanne Yang touched down at NorthPark Center for a trunk show revealing their collection Holmes and Yang to Dallas shoppers and fashion enthusiasts.

The ready-to-wear clothing line, officially launched during Fall 2011 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. This is the duo’s third collection, but the first time it is being sold at Barneys New York in Dallas.

Barneys’ Personal Shopper Paula Acosta said the designers did a trunk show instead of a fashion show because they wanted to do something intimate and personal with their Dallas clients. They wanted to get into the dressing room and do a fitting one-on-one.

“This was the launch of the spring collection that’s already in stores. People could come, try on and take home, as opposed to fashion shows where it won’t be in stores until the next season,” Acosta said.

The designers styled their line with other designers’ pieces. They want their clients to wear the clothes with pieces they already have in their closets.

“In a Barneys staff meeting before the trunk show, the designers could not stress enough that their line is not to be worn head to toe. Mix it back with what you already have almost like a wardrobe

extending,” Acosta said. Holmes styled her favorite silk

and lace dress with colorful sparkling Christian Louboutins. The other force behind the line, Yang styled her favorite top with The Row black leather leggings. Yang pointed out that the lace used on the clothing is the same Hermes uses and showed how the chain detailing in the jackets resemble Chanel.

Acosta said her favorite piece from the collection was the military green shirtdress.

“We sold out of it and ordered more. It was a big hit because of the versatility. It can be worn into spring and summer with different accessories,” Acosta said.

The timeless line with trendy notes is really meant for anyone. Acosta said she sold one long dress to a young girl to wear for her senior prom and a skirt with built-in spanks for an older client.

“The pieces are really appealing to everyone with a mix of classic and sexy styles,” Acosta said.

Dallas liked the preview. Barneys almost sold out of the fall collection with only a few pieces left. Acosta pointed out that the dress Holmes was wearing was in popular demand. The collection starts at $500 and sizes run from zero being a small to three being large.

“There is something for everyone in this collection, no matter their age or lifestyle,” Acosta said.

Although the young designer is very accomplished, this past month was the first time Plastinina had presented her designs at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

“Ever since I was little, it was my dream to show my collection at New York Fashion Week,” Plastinina said. “It was something I was working on for a really long-time and that I put a lot of effort into it.”

The designer admits getting ready for her New York Fashion Week debut took a lot of planning and preparation.

“I feel like my collection fits in at New York Fashion Week very well, because New York Fashion Week is very fresh and a lot of young designers start there,” Plastinina said of her Fall 2011 collection which was officially presented to the public on Feb. 17.

Plastinina’s self-title line recently collaborated with Lindsay Lohan for a collection called “Kira Plastinina for Lindsay Lohan.” In comparison to the detailed, fun and flirty pieces in that line, LUBLU is more understated, aiming at a high-fashion, appreciative, adult consumer.

”This collection was very minimalistic, which is what I am working towards,” Plastinina said of her 90s-inspired LUBLU fall looks. “It is pretty conservative in terms of color, there are spots were there is bright red, but mainly it’s chocolate, tan, brown and white.”

While Plastinina’s brand is based in Moscow, she has figured out a process to work from her dorm room to her team based half a world away.

“I do a lot of stuff online, every morning I Skype with my office,” she said. “I send them sketches and they send me their feedback. There is definitely a lot of virtual communication. It works.”

If you see Plastinina walking around campus, she is likely wearing one of her designs.

“I definitely would wear all of it. I love every piece in my collection,” she said of her Fall 2011 LUBLU designs. “They are all like my babies, I guess that’s why my fashion show was such a big deal for me, because it’s not only me showing my collection to everyone, but it’s me showing a piece of myself.”

SMU loses to Rice, draws UTEP for first round in C-USA tournament

Mustangs drop second straight, fall to UCF 51-48 in Orlando

By NICOLE JACOBSENSenior Staff Writernjacobse@smu.edu

Despite being only one game out of first place in Conference USA standings with two weeks left in the season, the SMU men’s basketball team now finds themselves in a three-way tie for fourth place, following a 51-48 loss to the University of Central Florida (19-9, 6-9 in Conference USA) Wednesday night on the road.

Papa Dia was named a potential Conference USA Player of the Year after his performance in the game against UCF.

The Mustangs’ loss marks the second consecutive win for the team with only one game remaining on the regular season.

SMU (17-12, 8-7 C-USA) shot only 35 percent in the second half, but managed to bring the game to within three points in the final seconds. Freshman Jeremiah Samarrippas took the final shot for the Mustangs but his shot rimmed out as time expired.

Having yet to capture a win over UCF on the road, SMU managed to climb ahead by ten points in the first half, shooting an impressive 63 percent from the field compared to 26 percent from the Knights.

But in the second half, SMU’s defense failed to shut down a 25-4 run from the Knights, giving the host team a 35-31 lead off back-to-back three’s from A.J. Tyler and Isaac Sosa with 9:34 remaining.

Up 44-33 with 5:16 left, the Knights improved to hitting six of their seven shots to take the lead after hitting only 30 percent of their shot attempts in the first 30 minutes of play.

UCF also took advantage of SMU’s 19 turnovers, generating 18 points off SMU’s mistakes.

the league’s leading field goal and three-point percentage shooting team to just 16 shot attempts in the first 20 minutes.

Dia led the Mustangs with 18 points and nine rebounds shooting 8-of-13 from the field with one block and one steal. This was the 17th all-time at SMU in career points, making this yet another impressive game for Dia.

He also has had 63 blocks this season with only one total blocked shot for the game. This was his 23rd game to have more than eight rebounds. He has had more than eight rebounds in the past 20 games.

Samarrippas was nominated for the C-USA All-Freshman Canidate. He had four assists and has 101 total assists this season. He’s the sixth freshman at SMU with more than 100 assists.

Mike Walker, with 10 points on the night, has now scored in double-figures in three of the last four games.

Heading into Saturday’s game against the University of Texas at El Paso, SMU continues to look for their first win over the Miners since a 99-96 double-overtime victory in Dallas in 2008.

The Mustangs dropped a 67-57 game to UTEP on Feb. 12 on the road, ending SMU’s longest winning streak since the team joined C-USA in 2005. The Miners have won 15 of the last 16 games between the teams.

Heading into Saturday’s game, the Miners are on a two-game winning streak following an 82-74 win over Marshall.

Fortunately, UTEP, who also has the best field goal percentage defense, struggles on the road, having lost their last two games away from their home in El Paso.

The Miners are led by Conference USA Player of the Year Randy Culpepper, who is averaging 19.8 points per game. Culpepper scored 14 points against SMU on Feb. 12.

All fans are encouraged to wear red to show their support at Saturday’s game, starting at 2 p.m. in Moody Coliseum. Tickets can be purchased at SMUMustangs.com or by calling (214) 768- 4263.

The Mustangs will travel to El Paso next week to play in the Conference USA Tournament starting on March 9 at the Don Haskins Center.

Mustangs lose to Tulsa by one, and clench doubles point

By JENNIFER BUNTZAssociate Sports Editor

jbuntz@smu.edu

SMU took on Rice Thursday in Moody Coliseum for the final game of the season. However, Head Coach Rhonda Rompola was disappointed having one of her seniors that has started all four years on the bench. This player being Delisha Wills.

“I feel so bad for Delisha with everything she has given to us and she can’t play the last home game. I know that’s frustrating for her. We really need her for the tournament, and I think if tonight had been the tournament she would have tried it but I need her to rest the next few days to make sure she is ready in El Paso,

We lost a lot of leadership without her out there,” Rompola said.

Haley Day had yet another impressive game, putting up 12 total points, just two behind Alisha Filmore with 14 points for the evening.

“Her pursuit of the basketball is so good. If we had 15 players that go after the basketball like Haley Day we would be in good shape,” Rompola said.

SMU is currently struggling with injuries and hopes to improve on those before leaving for El Paso on Monday night for the conference tournament.

“I need to give them the day off tomorrow. I don’t see myself giving them two days of rest, but definitely

tomorrow and probably Sunday because we were hobbling down the court tonight. Some of our players are really hurting,” Rompola said.

The Mustangs drew the University of Texas at El Paso Miners for the first round of the C-USA tournament. They have beaten the Miners twice before this year, but aren’t planning on going into the game with too much confidence.

“I am happy with this first round draw. I would much rather play a team that we have beaten twice than a team we have lost to. I think our girls are ready and definitely have what it takes to win this game,” Rompola said.

SMU took on the University of Tulsa’s Golden Hurricane Thursday afternoon at Turpin Tennis Center. It was a hard fought match, but the Mustangs fell 4-3.

The three points SMU earned came from the doubles point and seniors Adham el-Effendi and Artem Baradach long singles matches.

Baradach faced a tough match against Tulsa’s No. 1 player Cliff Marsland. He pulled it out but the score was close 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. This makes Baradach’s record 7-1 for the season.

El-Effendi clenched past Tulsa’s Alastair Barnes 7-6, 7-6 at line five singles.

For the doubles play, Baradach and Gaston Cuadranti lost a close match to Tulsa’s Ashley Watling and Marsland. It was a match of many breaks, until finally Tulsa held serve and then broke the Mustangs to take the win 8-6.

SMU also won at line three doubles with the duo of el-Effendi and Robert Sajovich downing Rusty Turpin and Japie De Klerk 8-5.

This was SMU’s second consecutive loss for the season, the last loss was against Texas.

The Mustangs next match up will be against University of Texas San Antonio. It will take place at Turpin Tennis Center on Saturday at 12 p.m.

During my four years here at SMU, the Lyle School of Engineering and Annette Caldwell-Simmons School of Education have been

built. Boaz, Shuttles, Mary-Hay and Peyton residence halls have been renovated. A new mall, several roads and a new parking garage have been constructed.

One thing, amidst others, has remained the same. No, I’m not referring to waffles at Umphrey Lee, our beloved mascot Peruna or the lyrics of our Alma Mater. The one thing I refer to is that, unfortunately, the Internet does not work at SMU. Still.

Granted, SMU 1911 works. Ethernet in your dorm room or the library works. Perunanet, however, does not work.

For all four years of my SMU experience – barring maybe my first night at SMU – Perunanet has failed me, devastated any possible connect to the interweb, and infected my browser with the all-too-familiar “You are not connected to the Internet” page.

This has not been a fleeting issue or a momentary obstruction. This has been a daily vexation, a persistent impediment, and an undying problem.

Here at SMU, when there’s a problem or an issue we address it.

The Drug and Alcohol Task Force spent years deliberating the issue of drugs and alcohol abuse on our campus. When the education school needed a place to house its programs, we built a new building. Parking is a long-term problem SMU students have faced, but even there, more garages have been built. If there’s a problem, we solve it.

The Internet seems like an easy problem to fix. Service the network, strengthen the network, or get a new network!

As undergraduates, our tuition totals over $40,000 a year. Can’t some of this money go to solve a very simple, but largely annoying problem?

I’m not asking for a task force, a Senate Bill, a construction crew or administrative restructuring.

I’m asking that we either fix the deceptive Internet provider that is Perunanet or that we destroy what has become a nuisance and abomination.

In addition to the fact that Facebook would have never gotten off its feet if Mark Zuckerberg were a Mustang, there are countless reasons why good Internet is an essential quality of any reputable institution. As if it weren’t obvious, allow me to explain the importance of good Internet.

With a reliable Internet source, one can access a wealth of information – everything from newspapers to academic articles to e-books to Wikipedia. Good Internet can place students in touch with their peers: both other SMU students and young people around the world.

Internet resources and opportunities are bountiful, and while we are not entitled to perfect Internet connection, it would certainly enhance the academic experience.

Moreover, the fact that SMU tour guides mention that “wireless Internet” is available throughout campus suggests that Internet is part of the student-university social contract.

Additionally, I posit that good Internet – like flowing fountains and good landscaping – leads to a happier and more relaxed student body. The efficient ease with which we can access homework or respond to the piling emails in our inbox is a utility-maximizer.

So, let’s keep it simple. If we’re going to provide Internet, let’s make sure it works. It’s easy, relatively cheap, and it will alleviate countless frustrations.

Response to: “Freedom is calling: Will you accept the charges?”

U.S. involvement in Middle East may be antithetical to

revolutionary efforts

The Daily Campus spoke of the “flood that is coming” concerning the pending eruption of liberty and democracy in the Middle

East. While I fully agree that the U.S.

is in an excellent position to ally itself with the people demanding freedom across the Middle East, I fundamentally disagree on the extent to which such an alliance would serve the best interest of either this nation or the very people protesting despotic regimes across Africa and the Middle East.

My argument, relying on logic rather than vague pathos, is based on the following two premises.

First, by throwing enthusiastic support behind those demanding the overthrow of despotic regimes, the U.S. may very well hinder the success of those it meant to benefit.

Take Iran for example. Current opposition is undeniably organic, coming primarily from the educated youth and well-off middle class. If America – Ahmedinejad’s Great Satan

– supports revolutionary movements, even nominally, it allows the current regime to paint our nation as the instigator of revolution and thereby justify harshly repressive policies levied against its own people.

This is why the Obama regime has been so carefully focused on preserving the right to peaceful protest; it ensures a stage for concerns to be heard without the U.S. being wrongfully turned into a scapegoat for the legitimate calls for change.

Secondly, by intervening as the global supporter of “freedom” and democracy in other nations, we may, in effect, be acting in direct opposition to the will of the oppressed.

Libya illustrates this concept perfectly. International debate concerning the institution of a “No-Fly Zone” over Libyan airspace seems, at first glance, to be a move that is clearly in the interest of Libyan rebels.

However, the people are not, as you claim, clearly and definitively “reaching out” for U.S. aid.

In fact, according to a recent CNN report (“Libyan no-fly zone would be risky, provocative.” Craig Johnson. Mar 2, 2011), an increasing percentage of these rebels, having seen the successes achieved in Egypt and Tunisia as well as the considerable

success achieved in their own nation, view American intervention as little more than a way to undermine their own capabilities while strategically elevating American interests abroad.

Support of international human rights agreements, particularly those concerning free speech and the right to life, would no doubt serve as a more palatable incentive for calling for reform than a full on, America-as-savior intervention.

Of course, the matters brought up in my response only make up a small portion of all the potential decisions, consequences, and repercussions of our foreign policy response to crises across Africa and the Middle East.

But that’s the thing about politics. It’s complicated, messy, and, when based on rote idealism, very rarely effective.

Emotional appeals calling for support of freedom and liberty, without consideration of the complicated reality behind each incident, are about as useful as a necktie in Ahmedinejad’s closet.

CONTRIBUTOR

Alexander Mace

Aljazeera.net published an article on March 3 noting that Muammar Gaddafi, the current leader of the Libyan government,

accepted an offer from Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan President, to mediate the current political turmoil occurring in Libya.

It’s almost sentimental, I think, to see two leaders with such awful human rights records sticking together when their totalitarian counterparts begin to find themselves in an awful mess. Last year, Human Rights Watch made several statements concerning Chavez’s absolute disregard for the freedom of expression, passing several laws censoring information available on the internet, radio, and television. In addition, Chavez prohibited human rights groups from received foreign aid or creating forums for discussion in Venezuela. This is definitely the man we want mediating talks in Libya.

The United States as a whole has no business in supporting or listening to any of the claims or demands of either of these two men, who do not

take into account any regard for the rights of their citizens.

That is not to say that the U.S. or the rest of the world actually takes Chavez’s offer of mediation seriously, although we will see if anyone actually jumps on the mediation bandwagon in coming days. No doubt the U.S. views Chavez’s proposal as utterly worthless and will not respond the Chavez’s call, considering the fact that he called for “friendly nations,” which means you can count the U.S. out of Chavez’s invited nations.

Both Gaddafi and Chavez openly denounce the United States frequently for what they see as American oppression. Funny, considering that it is they who openly oppress their people despite world protest. While the United States is far from perfect in its respect to human rights, I am glad that we are not in the same boat as the downtrodden citizens of Libya and Venezuela.

Since we are better off than people elsewhere, it is easy to pull into an apathetic regard for the rights and livelihood of others. However, I would say we should never lose an open and active care for the rights of others, no matter what part of the world they reside in or what race or religion they find themselves a part of. It seems like a duty to have compassion for others,

that much is clear.The problem, however, is that the

U.S. is dependent on many countries with questionable ties and respects for human rights. Based on an article published by the Council on Foreign Relations in 2009, Venezuela supplies the United States with “about 1.5 million barrels of crude oil and refined products” every day. Likewise, instability in the Middle East and Northern Africa is in no way good for the price of oil which clearly causes a strain on the United States and its citizens.

I hate looking at gas prices when I’m filling up, realizing that I’m paying much more than I used to because people are freeing themselves from oppression elsewhere. That is the price of freedom I suppose, it costs everyone a little bit in some way or another, but I’m willing to pay a little extra for the fall of governments run by men like Chavez and Gaddafi. After all, in the grand scheme of things, if the world is a more a just place, that’s something we should be happy about.

Film passes giveawayENTERTAINMENT

By A&E DESK

Have a favorite literature-to-film adaptation? Well, that’s about all you need to win a prize pack for the upcoming release of the feature film “Jane Eyre.”

Chances are, you’ve read Charlotte Bronte’s classic book at one point or another during school or for pleasure.

It tells the story of a young orphan growing up in strict Victorian times, who is taken on as the governess at Thorrnfield Hall, only to flee the estate after she finds the working conditions impossible. Clergyman St. John Rivers then takes her in at

which point she finds a family and allows herself to consider the insane events of Thornfield.

But that is only the surface of this complicated, peculiar plot that is both a love story and a mystery.

The film stars Mia Wasikowska (“Alice in Wonderland”) and Michael Fassbender (“Inglorious Basterds”) and Golden Globe winner Sally Hawkins and hits theaters nationwide March 18.

Daily Campus readers are being offered the exclusive opportunity to win “Jane Eyre” prize packs, which include a pair of passes to an advance screening on March 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Angelika Film Center in

Mockingbird Station.All you have to do is submit the

name of your favorite literature-to-film adaptation and your reasoning for that pick. Is it the classic “Gone with the Wind”? Do you prefer the BBC remake of “Pride and Prejudice” to the more recent Kiera Knightley flick? “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” might be your choice.

But whatever your pick must be, you have to send it in and tell us why in order to win. The first three win prize packs and there are several more passes to the film.

Send your pick to lsmart@smu.edu by Monday at 2 p.m.

THEATER

Festival heads into first weekendBy LAUREN SMART

A&E Editorlsmart@smu.edu

Water Tower Theatre’s annual Out of the Loop Fringe Festival is in its ninth year of presenting the work of small, local theater companies, one-person shows and dance troupes to a broader audience.

This year, a wide variety of performances will be inhabiting the three-stage complex in Addison, including full-fledged musicals such as Greyman Theatre Company’s “Dani Girl,” one-man shows such as the heartfelt, humorous act of Faye Lane’s “Beauty Shop Stories” and dance shows such as Muscle Memory Dance Theatre’s “Black is the Color of

that Kettle.” The festival opened Thursday with

performances from Cabaret artist Marjorie Hayes, Broken Gears Project Theatre’s “The Magdalen Whitewash” and Faye Lane as the headliner for the evening.

Shows run every day through March 13, except for this upcoming Monday. Here are some that deserve a second glance as you plan the next week and a half:

“The Magdalen Whitewash”

Broken Gears Project Theatre is committed to bring risky theater to life and this regional premiere follows the usual tread. The play is about The

Madgdalene laundries where young girls and women were locked up if they were pregnant out of wedlock. This piece will be performed Sunday at 2 p.m. and March 13 at 5 p.m.

Nouveau 47’s FTP Comedy “Inside the Loop”

This is a improv comedy group that is brand-new Dallas and made a splash with their holiday show in December. They will have two late-night performances on Friday and March 11 at 10p.m. Water Tower is offering students tickets to this show for $5 with one free beer.

Be on the lookout for updates throughout the festival on what shows

FILM

The Oscars: winners, losers, and those in between

This year’s Oscar race is finally over. While, at times, the race was extremely close, it seemed as if the night’s biggest winners left the losers in their dust. While the night as a whole went off without a hitch, the 83rd Annual Academy Awards still had its fair share of winners, losers, and those in between.

By CHASE WADEAssociate A&E Editor

cdwade@smu.edu

THE WINNERS

“The King’s Speech”

Who would we be if we left “The King’s Speech” off the list? Raking in four Oscars, the British blockbuster saw its male lead (Colin Firth) snag the trophy for Best Actor and first time nominee Tom Hooper won the trophy for Best Director, upsetting director of “The Social Network,” David Fincher. Not to mention, the film also walked away victorious in the night’s biggest category, Best Picture.

Luke Matheny

This afro-clad film student pulled in perhaps the night’s biggest upset with his short film titled “God of Love.” With a great acceptance speech that was perhaps the most genuine of the night, Matheny certainly solidified his place under Hollywood’s brightest lights and gave the industry a glance at what could be Tinsletown’s most promising new director.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Even though her song “Coming Home” from the movie “Country Strong,” was nominated in the Best Original Song category, Randy Newman’s Toy Story 3 Anthem “We Belong Together,” won the trophy. Though the song may not have won, Gwyneth Paltrow proved that she is just as good as a singer as an actress when it came her time to perform the piece. With solid vocals and a demanding stage presence, Paltrow’s next award could very easily come in the form of a Grammy.

THE LOSERS

Annette Benning

It was almost painful to watch the “Kid’s Are All Right” star lose the award for Best Actress to youngster Natalie Portman. Right when Portman’s name was announced, Benning’s on-camera reaction looked downright miserable. For someone who has repeatedly lost at the Oscars, it feels as if this loss hit the heaviest. However, if Benning is able to deliver any formidable performance in the near future, she is almost guaranteed an Oscar. Fourth try is the charm, right?

The Hosts

Perhaps the biggest loser of the night, maybe even the whole decade, was the 83rd Annual Academy Awards’ decision to choose Anne Hathaway and James Franco as their hosts may go down as one of the most disastrous hosting attempts ever to happen. With the only redeeming factor being a semi-funny opening video, the night was full of awkward pauses, flat jokes, and a downright stoned faced Franco.

“Day & Night”

Imagine a charming, short film that involved the powerful likes of Disney and the pioneering animation studio Pixar that just as funny as it was serious, enter “Day & Night.” The short animated film was the frontrunner in its category, but experienced a pretty sizeable upset as it lost to the relatively unknown title “The Lost Thing”

THOSE IN BETWEEN

Christian Bale

It was great to see the deserving star win his first Oscar, but the combination of his distracting beard and odd acceptance speech landed him in between a loser and winner. Bale’s performance as a coked-out has-been boxer was precisely painful as it was genuine, and it’s a shame that he couldn’t carry over that genuineness when he approached the podium.

“Inception”

Even though the sci-fi, dream jumping movie’s director Christopher Nolan was surprisingly snubbed in the Best Director category, the film virtually swept the night’s technical awards. With trophies coming form categories like Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects and Sound Editing, “Inception” certainly didn’t go home empty handed.

PS 22 Chorus

What isn’t to love about a group of inner-city kids singing their hearts out in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars? Not much. However, the YouTube celebrities seemed a little ingenuine and at some points, it seemed as if the group of kids was actually lip syncing. However, the song choice was great and the kids deserve a lot of credit.
