It is hard to imagine that just five years ago Garrett Haake was a college student who studied and attended football games.
Today, he is a four-time Emmy nominee who works for NBC News.
Haake graduated from SMU in 2007 with a degree in journalism.
He is currently working for NBC News as a campaign embed, covering the 2012 presidential election.
Haake mostly focuses on the Romney campaign, traveling the country to report on Romney’s events and other political stories.
Haake not only has to report the major events, but also is responsible for acting as the cameraman, producer, editor and blogger.
Although Haake has always had an interest in journalism, there was a time when he questioned if being a journalist was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, Haake told MSNBC.
In the summer of 2006, Haake was accepted to intern for “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.” Haake saw this as his opportunity to decide if being a broadcast journalist was really what he wanted to do.
After Haake accepted the internship, he flew off to New York City for a 12-week journey where he would learn the ins and outs of television journalism.
Haake enjoyed his internship and realized that his passion for journalism was still present. This was, in fact, what the soon-to-be college senior wanted to do with his life.
Haake said just doing an internship is not enough.
“You have to excel and then stay in contact with the people who know your work and who you were close with to really maximize the value of any internship,” he said.
“As in life, showing up alone is not enough.”
As Haake’s senior year at SMU came to an end, something happened that would change his life forever.
“About a month before graduation, I got a call from my old boss asking me if I wanted to come back for an entry-level job at the network,” he said. “I said yes, and never looked back.”
Haake said his most memorable experience from his job so far was when he did his first live shot on MSNBC.
“Romney had made some pretty major news, saying, ‘corporations are people,’ and shouting down some protestors. I ended up booked on Al Sharpton’s show having never done a live shot anywhere except on SMU TV. I got emails of encouragement and caution, and I was terrified to step in front of the lights and do the actual hit. But once it was done, I felt incredibly exhilarated. This was why I got into television in the first place,” Haake said.
Another reason for Haake to feel exhilarated came when
he realized that all of his hard work had paid off. He has been nominated for an Emmy four times, twice in 2010 and twice in 2011, for his work helping produce NBC news specials, such as “The Funeral of Ted Kennedy,” “Perfect Storm: Climate Change and Conflict and Earthquake in Haiti.”
“Garrett has always been charismatic and very assertive. I think these traits serve him well in his job; they give him kind of natural credibility to viewers,” Jack Haake, Garrett’s youngest brother and SMU senior, said.
Something that is affecting Haake’s work, however, is the progression of new media outlets.
According to the American Journalism Review, now, more than ever, presidential candidates are avoiding middle men and reporting straight to new media, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
By avoiding journalists directly and using new media, candidates can have almost immediate access to everything that is written or that involves their campaigns.
Haake agrees with the American Journalism review.
“Twitter has really changed how campaign reporting works,” he said. “It raises the stakes and the pace of campaign reporting immensely.”
The new challenges brought forth by the progression of media outlets should be no challenge for Haake, however.
Haake’s former teacher Michele Houston said, Garrett “was diligent and hardworking, and he wanted to learn. He wanted to be pushed.”
His yearn for a challenge will only help Haake in all aspects of his career.
Through Haake’s ambition and love for the field of journalism, he has already accomplished much and plans to continue to do even more.
Jack says, because of Garrett, a higher standard has been set for him as a student and for his own future.
“As my older brother, I’ve looked up to him my entire life. His successes have challenged me, and I credit the high standard he set for inspiring a strong work ethic in me,” Jack said.
Garrett has set high standards for a successful career in journalism, not only for himself, but also for others pursuing journalism careers.

Engaged Learning kicks off on campus
What do you care about? That’s the question the Engaged Learning program asked students at SMU to answer Monday evening.
Students gathered around the flagpole to share their answers on the Engaged Learning board as they enjoyed free candy and T-shirts.
The event was part of Engaged Learning Day, a day designed to raise student awareness of the new program and its opportunities, Susan Kress, the director of Engaged Learning, said.
“Engaged Learning is taking what you’re learning in the classroom and putting it in a real world setting and actually doing it,” Kress said to a group of students inquiring about the program.
The Engaged Learning program is still fairly new to SMU, sending its first group of students into the field just last year. Meleah Chriss, the director’s assistant, said Engaged Learning is a result of SMU’s re-accreditation program.
It is designed to give students the opportunity to participate in research, service, internships or activities outside the classroom on topics that students really care about.
“We’ve had several students already come to our office…and they want to do these crazy-imaginative projects that they just came up with in their head,” Chriss said.
During its inaugural year, Engaged Learning provided funding and support for three students to complete their proposed projects.
Lindsay Sockwell, a senior dance performance major, was
one of those students. She held a weeklong dance program for orphaned children in Zambia, Africa. Using the skills she gained in her psychology minor, Sockwell said she observed the transformation of the students throughout the trip.
Sockwell said she was planning the project before she heard about the Engaged Learning program, but knew it would be a great fit.
“For me, it was an easy step to get all of the funding and the support that I needed to get my project done instead of having to look outside the university,” she said.
To apply for an Engaged Learning grant, students must submit a project proposal with the help of a mentor in their field who will help identify learning outcomes. Applications for this year’s program are due March 15.
Kress said this is the time for students to start thinking about their projects and begin the application process.
“They’ve answered the question what do you care about, and now what are you going to do about it?” Kress said.
SMU sophomore Mike Ren said he has already started planning his project proposal and is excited to participate in Engaged Learning.
“It increases freedom for students to pursue what they want rather than an assigned curriculum,” Ren said.
Engaged Learning projects are meant to enhance what students have already learned in the classroom.
Students who are accepted into the program and complete a project will present their work and submit a report that will be published by SMU.

Instagram improves amateur photography
Photographers watch out — Instagram is blurring the lines between amateurs and professionals.
Instagram, a free photo-sharing application, underwent a subtle redesign Friday that enhances the user experience, while allowing amateur photographers to improve the quality of their photos.
“I’m so excited about this new feature,” Ann Rogers said. “It is the perfect way to fly under the radar as a less-than-average photographer.”
The notifications along the bottom of the screen — feed, popular, share and news — have changed to symbols. This allows for a cleaner appearance and sleeker layout of the screen.
Alas, Instagram has added a new feature called Lux.
The Lux feature is indicated by an eclipse symbol in the bottom left-hand corner of the app’s image editing dashboard.
Lux adjusts the brightness, midtone, contrast and saturation in the photo in attempt to bring out more detail.
Essentially, this feature is intended to improve the overall quality of the photo by compensating for the lack any of the inconveniences.
Moreover, Instagram may begin to steal market share with this new installment. A popular paid photo enhancing application Camera+,allows users to improve the quality of photos in the same way Lux intends.
However, Instagram recently cut the number of steps for using both Camera+ and Instagram in half.
Previously, users would have to pay $1.99 for something that is now free.
Furthermore, Instagram users no longer have to toggle back and forth between photos. Instead, Instagram is now a one-stop shop for photo enhancement.
Going forward, Instagram will be an app to watch and to see how these improvements affect its number of downloads versus the number of downloads of Camera+.
It will be interesting to see whether or not Instagram will become available for Android in the near future.

SENATE
Spectrum seeks Senate’s help, again

SPENCER J EggERS/The Daily Campus
SMU’s Engaged Learning program passed out free t-shirts Monday afternoon at the flag pole to students who contributed to their “what do you care about” board.
Last April, Student Senate failed to pass a bill that would have allowed the LGBT community to have a special interest seat.
In order for Senate to determine the number of LGBT students on campus, the legislation called on the Registrar’s office to allow LGBT students to self-identify themselves through Access.
However, after working with the Registrar’s office for several months, Harvey Luna, co-president of Spectrum and one of the authors of the bill, received an email last week that informed him that the Registrar’s office was postponing talks with Spectrum.
During Tuesday’s Senate meeting, members of Spectrum asked for help resuming talks with the Registrar’s office.
“We had been making progress and want it to continue,” Breanna Diaz, activism co-chair of Spectrum, said.
Secretary Martha Pool asked Diaz if the email made a clear
distinction between postponing or cutting off all communication with Spectrum.
Though Diaz had not personally seen the email, she said that the Registrar made it clear that they did not want to discuss the issue further.
Thus, Spectrum urged Student Senate to help continue working with the Registrar.
President Austin Prentice also discussed plans for the Founder’s Day celebration in April.
Instead of holding the ceremony in the main quad like the Centennial Celebration last April, Founder’s Day will be held on the opposite side of campus.
“We want to bring light to the south end and break ground where the residential community will be,” Prentice said.

Beats Per Minute (BPM) is one of the newest workout hot spots in Dallas.
“Pilates with a beat” is designed specifically to strengthen, lengthen and tone the body.
Bridging the gap among the holistic principles of Pilates, strength training and cardio — this is not your typical heart-pumping workout.
Meghann O’Leary, studio director and lead trainer, graduated from SMU in 2005 and
always wished there was a Pilates studio near campus.
O’Leary said she loved the workout so much that she decided to make her dream a reality by bringing a studio to Snider Plaza.
“I personally love our ‘Pilates with a Beat’ classes for many reasons,” O’Leary said. “Visible results [are seen] within 10 classes providing lengthened & toned muscles.”
What does she feel is the most important part of class?
“Great music!” The upbeat music gives the classes a fun, positive environment and the 50 minutes is done in no time.
After trying almost “every workout on the planet,” O’Leary
said nothing will offer quicker results. It is the black edition megaformer machines that makes the difference because the springs provide resistance to create long, lean muscles.
“Many runners, golfers, dancers, cyclists, etc. all need a cross training workout and our classes are effective, non-impact on the joints and fun,” she said.
Guys have no excuses to be shy about doing this Pilates workout. The megaformers are designed for both men and women in mind.
Spring break is just around the corner and this could be an opportunity to get toned fast. BPM offers $15 sessions for SMU students.

My Fit Foods, located on Hillcrest Avenue, sells pre-prepared foods that customers can reheat for a cheap, healthy meal.
The 21 day challenge is onAnne Parker
It takes 21 days to create a habit and My Fit Foods offers a challenge for those willing and wanting to develop a lifestyle of healthy habits.
The challenge is a way to get started on the right foot and kick your bad eating habits to the curb for good.
By eating five small meals a day, you keep your body properly fueled so your metabolism keeps going throughout the day.
Why is this challenge so successful?
It is easy and convenient because your nutritional consultant will do it all.
“From calorie counting to customizing meals for different allergies, everything,” My Fit
Foods nutritional consultant, Marla Adams said.
She also said if you are eating enough during the day it will prevent you from binge eating at night.
During the 21 day challenge, clients have to remove “lazy foods” that drain energy levels and increase fat storage. Lazy foods spike your blood sugar level and slow your metabolism making you feel exhausted. Alcohol, high fructose corn syrup and anything containing unnecessary added ingredients fall under this category.
The My Fit Foods challenge adds foods to your diet to accelerate your metabolism. The meals and snacks are created with all-natural, fresh, heart healthy fats and nutritious ingredients.
You will feel more energized and get a better night’s sleep.
Exercising at least three times
a week during the challenge is recommended. But, Adams said your diet is 80 percent of the work.
Don’t be fooled. The 21 day challenge is not just for people who need to lose weight.
“It is not a diet. It is about the right time of day and the right portion size,” Adams said.
Even if you don’t do the challenge, still check out what this place has to offer.
“My Fit Foods works really well for me because I don’t have a lot of time in a day to make a meal,” SMU student Andy Garcia said. “At the same time, I always try to avoid a lot of junk food and anything too processed.”
Two of the best parts — you are allowed to indulge in one cheat meal a week and the My Fit Foods across from campus on Hillcrest Avenue takes Pony cash.
Beats Per Minute, next to Burger House on Hilcrest, holds fast-paced pilates classes with state-of-the-art equipment.

Men’s basketball begins home game stand
The Mustangs will play their first of three straight home games against UAB, a team that is eighth in Conference USA rankings, Wednesday.
The Blazers are 10-14 this season, but have won three of their last four games, including a big win against Southern Miss.
SMU is looking to bounce back on this home-stand, as they have lost six out of seven of their last games.
Despite having an overall record of 11-14, the Mustangs have been tough to beat at home, where they’ve won seven games and lost three games this season.
SMU was without starting point guard and team captain Jeremiah Samarrippas against Rice due to an ankle sprain in practice, but he should see minutes Wednesday.
The addition of their captain
makes a big difference in how the Mustangs play offense, as evidence by their season low in scoring against Rice without their point guard.
On the defensive side of the ball, SMU has really played well this season.
The Mustangs give up 60 points a game. This number is good enough to be second only to Tulane in Conference USA statistics, and puts SMU at No.26 in the NCAA for this category.
Senior forward Robert Nyakundi has led SMU this season. His scoring average, 15.3, is highest on the team, and seventh best in Conference USA.
Despite going 0-4 from behind the arc last game, Nyakundi has been lethal from three-point range. He hits 43.3 percent of the three-pointers he takes, which is highest in C-USA and No.23 in the NCAA. Nyakundi also leads SMU in rebounds.
University of Texas at Austin transfer Shawn Williams has played
well for the Mustangs lately.With players either injured
or just playing poorly, SMU has needed someone to step up and Williams has been guy.
The sophomore had 11 points and eight rebounds against Rice, leading the team in both categories for that game.
The game before the win against TCU, Williams had a well-rounded eight points, four rebounds and four assists.
The Mustangs will need players like Nyakundi, Williams and a healthy Samarrippas to have a good game on Wednesday if SMU wants to come away with a win.
In conference, the Mustangs have struggled this year, winning just two out of 10 games.
With the Conference USA tournament approaching, SMU will want to pick up some conference wins to bolster its stock going in.
The game against UAB will tipoff at 7 p.m. in Moody Coliseum.

Swimming, diving head to Houston for championships
The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams both head to Houston Wednesday to compete in the Conference USA Championships. Swimmers and divers from SMU, TCU, Houston, Marshall, Tulane, ECU and Rice will compete in the four- day event.
The men’s team is 3-1 in dual meets this season, after its most recent win over No. 18 Texas A&M in Perkins Natatorium Jan. 27. The
Mustangs finished in first place in the 400-yard freestyle relay with a time of 2:57.04, the 11th fastest time in the nation this season.
Junior standout Mindaugas Sadauskas holds the team’s fastest times in the 50-yard freestyle (19.82), 100-yard freestyle (43.04) and 100-yard backstroke (47.93).
The women’s team recently lost to No. 4 Texas, placing it 5-2 in dual meets.
Freshman Rachel Nicol, last week’s C-USA Swimmer of the Week, won the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke in the meet against Texas.
Freshman diver Sky Corbett-Methot took second place in the three-meter dive with a score of 273.97 and third place in the one-meter dive with a score of 242.55.
Sophomore Nina Rangelova stands out with the team’s top times in the 50-yard freestyle (22.7), 100-yard freestyle (49.73), 200-yard freestyle (1:45.19) and 500-yard freestyle.
After the C-USA Championships, both the men’s and women’s teams will compete in the American Short Course Championships in Austin, Texas March 1 through March 3.

Women’s basketball hits the road Thursday, faces UAB
The SMU women’s basketball team fell to Southern Mississippi Sunday in Moody Coliseum with a final score of 74-67.
The ladies fought hard, but in the end, their efforts came up short.
“We played a good team, they’ve won a couple in a row,” Coach Rhonda Rompola said.
The Mustangs came within one point with just over a minute left
in the game, but their momentum was strangled by several key plays and forced turnovers by Southern Mississipi’s guard, Niesha Pierce. Pierce had two defensive rebounds, two points and a steal in the final minute alone.
Despite the loss, the Mustangs head to Birmingham, Ala. Thursday night to take on the University of Alabama at Birmingham who are currently in third place in Conference USA with a record of 8-3.
Key players to look out for next
game will be junior guard Amber Jones, who has averaged 13.9 points per game this season.
Senior center Meagan Brown has proven herself a force to be reckoned with as she towers above others at 6 feet 5 inches.
She has averaged 6.3 rebounds per game this season.
UAB has an overall record of 17-6 and with players such as Jones and Brown, they will be a difficult team to beat.
Tipoff is set for Thursday at 7 p.m.

I recently wrote the editor asking her why there appears to be a lack of a conservative viewpoints in The Daily Campus. She was very responsive and encouraged me to write something.
Where do I start? Do I speak up for unborn children, or do I tout the merits of
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum and the fact that he is just four points behind Obama? How about support for Proposition eight in California? I’m sure that would stir up some debate.
I think that there needs to be a starting point, some clarification of what it means to be conservative. For some people the first thoughts that pop into their minds are hate, racism, insensitivity, big corporations, homophobes and war mongering. I’m sure the list goes on.
I generally identify with the Republican Party. Their platform contains ideas and statements that are for the most part conservative. History is always a good place to start any research or examination. What is the track record of the party for conservatives? Will it show a history of oppression and narrow mindedness, or will it show a progressive and compassionate people? Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “A page of history is worth a pound of logic.”
The Republican Party was established in the early 1850s by anti-slavery activists. Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican to win the White House.
He signed the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves. Despite fierce Democrat opposition, Republicans passed constitutional amendments banning slavery, extending the Bill of Rights to the states, guaranteeing equal protection of the laws and due process to all citizens and extending the right to vote to persons of all races and backgrounds.
Republicans also led the fight for women’s rights. In fact, Susan B. Anthony bragged about how, after voting (illegally) in 1872, she had voted a straight Republican ticket.
Democratic opposition to Republican efforts to protect the civil rights of all Americans lasted not only throughout reconstruction, but well into the 20th century. In the south, those Democrats who most bitterly opposed equality for blacks founded the Ku Klux Klan, which operated as the party’s terrorist wing.
Look at the senate vote from the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 82 percent of the Republicans voted for the Act, while only 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it. Every southern Democratic Senator voted against it.
Here are some more quick facts. The first Hispanic governor was a Republican. The first African-American senator was a Republican. A former slave chaired the 1884 Republican National Convention. The first Hispanic U.S. Senator was a Republican and the first Asian-American U.S. Senator was a Republican.
History clearly shows us that the Republican Party, the party of conservative ideology, is not the cold racist, uncaring group of white males that Democrats wish to portray. We believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. I believe the role of government should be to provide people with the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals. Nothing has changed for conservatives; history proves this. These core values are the essence of being conservative.

The United States currently has a spending deficit of over one trillion dollars.
While that seems like a complete budgetary failure, the real failure is how most Americans understand it.
The deficit shows years of wasteful spending, but the deficit itself should not be a major concern.
People confuse the government’s budget with that of their personal or business budget.
The goal of private budgets is to make a profit, or to stem losses. Some people mistakenly look at the government’s budget from that perspective.
The role of the government is to use the resources at its disposal to benefit society.
Profit is not a consideration, the vision for the future is.
I would not want to live in a nation committed to a balanced budget over addressing the concerns of the people, which is unfortunately becoming a growing sentiment.
Resources are limited. Governments cannot spend without discretion.
Our current deficit is a problem. Some view it as a problem that needs to be solved immediately, which it is not. Controlling the deficit requires a long term solution.
The best way for the deficit to be addressed is to begin work on entitlement reform, increasing taxes and in the meantime cut military spending.
This is the approach taken by the Obama administration, albeit limited due to gridlock created by a do-nothing Congress.
Healthcare reform taken by the administration will help reign in cost, and $525 billion defense budget for fiscal year 2013.
Some people want to fix the deficit by cuts alone without
raising taxes. The problem they encounter is that they aim to cut the wrong things.
They recommend austerity measures like those that have happened in Europe, such as cutting social programs.
European countries chose to cut social spending because that is what they spend the most money on.
Americans spend the most money on defense spending, so it only makes sense for most of the cuts to come in defense spending.
Another common sense measure is to raise taxes, even if it is just on the higher tax brackets.
A complete aversion to increasing taxes shows that one is not really concerned about the size of the deficit, but is instead using the deficit as a political tool.
There is plenty of room for defense cuts. According to SIPRI, a Swedish-based think tank, “U.S. military spending has almost doubled since 2001.
The U.S. spent an astounding $698 billion on the military last year, an 81 percent increase over the last decade.”
The same report also shows that the U.S. accounts for 42.8 percent of the world’s military expenditures.
We could greatly reduce our military spending and apply that money to deficit reduction.
I would rather cut funding for flawed military operations that detriment the country than social programs that actually help people.
The biggest problem for America is not the trillion dollars it has in debts, but ineffective governance that does not consider the citizen.
Michael is a freshman majoring in human rights and political science with minors in Arabic and religious studies.
Over the past 10 years the annual federal budget deficits have exploded.
In 2002, the remaining surpluses from the Clinton years disappeared and reached a peak of just over $400 billion in 2004, steadily decreasing until 2008. The first budget the new Democratic congress elected in 2006 got to put together, when it ballooned again above $400 billion.
And then we got the 2009 budget, which gave a deficit of over $1.4 trillion, largely due to the Wall Street bailouts of late 2008.
Then Bush left office, and Obama has given budget deficits of over $1.2 trillion every year since. Our current national debt is over 15 trillion, which means it is now larger than our total national GDP.
With a situation as direable as this, we can no longer afford the Keynesian experiment of economic stimulus through deficit spending.
President Obama’s most recent State of the Union address didn’t show that he has any true plan to use economic policy to fix this crisis, but instead intends to use it only for class warfare, spreading the lie that the rich don’t pay a high enough percentage of their wealth and that making them pay more would make a meaningful dent in the annual deficit.
The wealthiest five percent are already responsible for nearly 60 percent of the annual tax revenue, and the poorest 47 percent don’t pay any of their income towards the annual federal tax revenue.
In addition to this, Obama intends to continue to “invest” in various pet projects, which is just a thinly veiled euphemism for more spending.
The Democrat’s answer to dealing with these record high deficits is that all problems would be solved by a hefty tax increase, preferably on the wealthiest 5 percent, 2 percent, or 1 percent of Americans, depending on which plan you look at.
The secondary answer they give is that yes, we need to cut spending
as well, but all we really need to do is cut defense spending and then our deficit will be manageable.
There is one major problem with this.
Defense spending only accounts for about 25 percent of our budget, and we’re spending more than 50 percent more every year than we take in every year.
Even if we cut defense spending to zero, we’d still have a deficit of about $800 billion. If we were to cut defense spending to zero and to raise taxes on the wealthiest 5 percent to 100 percent, we’d still not see a balanced budget.
Of course, a balanced budget is only a temporary goal. A true balanced budget would only mean that the debt was no longer growing each year.
We need to get large budget surpluses for many consecutive years in order to actually start paying off the debt.
The only long term way to deal with this is to significantly reform the way entitlements such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid work.
Yearly net interest on our debt also accounts for about 10 percent of all federal tax revenue and pensions also make up just under 10 percent.
Further, Democrats in congress insist on “protecting” Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from the Republicans who they claim want to gut these programs, but this is disingenuous.
The programs, if they aren’t reformed significantly, will disappear entirely in less than a few decades.
The Republicans’ plans for reform will save the programs for the long term, whereas the Democrats are only interested in keeping them the same in the short term for political expediency.
This demagoguery and these false solutions from the Democrats for the budget and entitlements will have to stop if the party is at all serious about long term fiscal solvency.

Over the past couple of days I’ve noticed a plethora of rose bouquet remains scattering the grounds of SMU’s campus.
Of course, Valentines Day occurred Tuesday, and scenes of young couple holding hands and doing other PDA-related things filled my mind.
In the midst of all this love, however, I began to wonder where all of these bouquet corpses originated.
I have just one theory — for some guys and girls, Valentine’s Day sucked.
I predict that these bouquet deaths were caused by
human action. Some boyfriend or girlfriend
tried to express his or her love to their partner by giving the traditional 12 red roses this week.
On their walk back to the car or room, said flower-distributor probably said something that didn’t ring too well with their better half.
Perhaps someone discussed an old affair in conversation, or how great their ex-lover was.
Possibly no other gift was given (because flowers are not a gift, they’re something you pick up with hummus at Tom Thumb).
Nonetheless, several people obviously left a date night mad
as hell, confused and hurt. In return, some poor bouquet
was sacrificed.I envision beatings and
slaps, strong swings of the arm swung at ill-fated sweethearts who don’t know what they did wrong.
As the petals, then the thorns and finally the shaft of the roses hit the unsuspecting now ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, the realization that roses are not only weapons of mass destruction, but weapons that pierce straight in the heart.
The blood-red remains of these battles litter the ground like cigarette butts on the sidewalk, monuments of love burned out, monuments to a slow-burning
fire extinguished. No more love-drunk
breaths will be inhaled from those relationships.
However, I assume that considering the amount of flowers bought during this time of year, other bouquets met better fates and other lovers remained conjoined by their hands and their hearts.
But let these sacrificed rose-bunches be reminders of what can go wrong, and boys, girls don’t screw it up.

I applaud columnist Adriana Martinez for vowing to hold herself to high standards and to promote and encourage other women — tasks she set after watching a woman flub a speech at a conference.
But other parts of Ms. Martinez’s column trouble me, and show why we still need programs like the one I direct.
I, too, would have noticed that all the other presenters were both more effective and male; and I, too, would have cringed.
But I hope I would resist the leap from that troubling fact
to the conclusion that women are to blame for the negative stereotypes with which they still contend in the workplace.
Just for a moment, let’s imagine the following back-story: all the other presenters had paid underlings to make very professional-looking PowerPoints, but Martinez did not, because she works for a department staffed mostly by women and significantly under-funded.
(Do you really think that’s unlikely? Think again.)
She too was struck by
the superiority of the more polished visual aids of the other presenters.
Worse still, she felt all the pressure of being the only woman on the stage and the onus of standing for all women in the workplace.
She too knew that even her presumed allies in the audience (other women) would scrutinize her minutely, measuring her against the standards of near perfection that Ms. Martinez herself applies.
No wonder she was nervous, spoke poorly and clung to
the podium.Of course, she might really
be a lousy public speaker, or just someone having a bad day.
But please, let’s not burden her with representing all professional women and then blame her for letting them (us) down.
That’s no way to encourage and promote.

As a director, Oren Moverman is known for magnifying small subjects into full-length featured films. His newest film , “Rampart,” follows Moverman’s classic foundation of storytelling as he tells the story of a corrupt L.A. cop with particular focus on the main character’s psyche.
Woody Harrelson, Moverman’s lead actor in his previous movie “The Messenger,” plays David Douglas Brown, the film’s main focus.
“Woody and I became really close on the set of ‘The Messneger,’” Moverman said. “I knew I wanted him to be the lead for this movie.”
“Rampart” breaks away from the typical convention of a cop drama as Moverman explores the inner-workings of a corrupt cop’s psyche. Moverman roots his story within actual events that happened during the late ‘90s in Los Angeles.
Besides Harrelson’s blistering performance, “Rampart” features a wealth of supporting
cast members that include names like Sigourney Weaver, Steve Buscemi and Cynthia Nixon.
“We had a really strong cast that is recognized for what they do,” Moverman said. “Everyone plays a role that is based on their talents. Their jobs are not to nail something on paper, but to find themselves in the scene.”
With such a large and talented cast, Moverman encountered numerous challenges during post production.
“We had a big problem with editing, we essentially had to cut down a four hour movie,” Moverman said. “We basically had to restructure the entire movie.”
Moverman had no idea that his 2009 feature “The Messenger” would be such a success. The movie won critics over and was eventually nominated for two Oscars. This amount of success made Moverman’s follow-up closely watched.
“‘The Messenger’ was a very specific kind of movie but it taught me a lot as a director,” Moverman said. “I learned so much about the scripting process and what worked well from script to screen.”

MTV star brings career counseling to campus
FilM
While we’re still in the midst of balmy temperatures, and even snow, Ryan Kahn said it’s not too early to start planning for the summer.
The expert career counselor and star of MTV’s hit show “Hired!,” came to campus Wednesday to talk to students about how to land the perfect summer internship.
“What we want to do is help students plan ahead because when it comes to internships, the early bird catches the good internship,” Kahn said.
Kahn has garnered acclamation and fame as one of the nation’s recognized career coaches.
Kahn is not only the star of an MTV show, but also the author of “Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad,” a national speaker and as a career coach for Dream Careers, Inc.
Students like Samantha Liles are excited to have the career coach and television personality come to campus.
“It's great to see MTV hosting a show about jobs and career development, and it's even greater to see Ryan Kahn coming to campus to share advice with students,” Liles said.
“I think the show fits great with SMU's personality—fun and laid-back, but still very future and career oriented,” Liles said. “It should be great!”
Among the lessons Kahn plans to share with students is the importance of networking and taking chances.
“I have this saying that network is net worth,” he said.
“The more people you can be in touch with, the more relationships that you can build now, the better off you will be as far as landing a job when you graduate.”
But Kahn also sees students make mistakes in trying to break into their dream careers.
The biggest error is choosing
what is easy over what may be difficult to accomplish.
“I really admire those who are willing to take that type of risk and just go for it,” Kahn said.
“A lot of times there will be challenges and a lot of stumbling blocks, but there will also be a great reward.”
Kahn decided to be a career coach after he landed his dream job fresh out of UCLA at top record label Warner Music Group.
At UCLA, Kahn had American Idol judge Randy Jackson as a teacher.
Jackson quickly became a mentor.
“[Jackson] wanted to give back and help people learn,” Kahn said.
Kahn wanted to do the same, so he started speaking at UCLA on how to break into dream careers.
“I’ve really found a passion for it, and I’ve worked with thousands of students and placed them into some really incredible jobs over the years,” Kahn said.
First-year Liz Dubret is glad SMU students are the next recipients of Kahn’s advice.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for us to get connected, network, and learn about other job opportunities and internships that we would not have been informed of otherwise,” she said.
Anyone interested in speaking with Kahn for career advice can submit their contact information at the Dream Career website, www.SummerInternships.com/tours.

Woody Harrelson as Officer David Douglas Brown in “Rampart.” Harrelson plays a corrupt Los Angeles cops that slowly loses his mind.
Moverman co-wrote “The Messenger” alongside Alessandro Camon. Moverman changed co-writers for “Rampart” and worked with James Ellroy. Ellroy has written such films as “L.A. Confidential” and “The Black Dahlia.”
“It’s an interesting thing to write and direct a film,” Moverman said. “I really got to have my hands on the entire process and figure out what I liked best before I stepped behind the camera.”
Moverman’s “Rampart” is a thrilling story that breaks away from the regular conventions of typical Hollywood cop dramas. Much like Moverman’s other movies, “Rampart” presents a new angle on a recycled story.
“It was a tremendous opportunity to lead this type of group for this film,” Moverman said. “When you leave a set with gratitude, you can never go wrong.”
