President Barack Obama announced yesterday that he has invited both Democratic and Republican congressional leaders to meet with him on Nov. 18 to discuss the American people and their hopes for the country.

Obama wishes to highlight an array of points with the leaders, specifically the Bush-era tax cuts that have caused much discussion within the last few months.

Currently, the president wishes to keep the lower rates for those citizens who make less than $200,000 a year for individuals or $250,000 a year for families.

Many Republicans are hoping to sway Obama into keeping the tax cuts for all individuals, particularly because they are worried the increases could hurt small business owners.

In addition to meeting with congressional leaders, Obama has also scheduled a meeting with newly elected governors on Dec. 2.

POLITICS

University Park votes wetMICHAEL DANSER/ The Daily Campus

Proposition 1 and 2 repeal the prohibition of alcohol sales in dry areas of Dallas. Stock image of beer for sale.

University Park citizens ended the controversy surrounding the decision of whether or not to go “wet” Tuesday night.

Both propositions regarding the sale of alcohol in University Park passed comfortably, with more than 8,000 University Park residents voting.

Proposition 1, which allows for the legal sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption, passed 56.75 percent to 43.25 percent.

Proposition 2, which allowed for the sale of

mixed beverages in restaurants passed almost two to one at 65.34 percent to 34.66 percent.

This resolution came after a hard-fought battle by University Park mayor, Dick Davis. Davis felt that allowing the sale of alcohol in his city would compromise the “character” of the town.

Davis and former University Park mayor, Roy C. Coffee, each donated $12,000 to a political action committee that was created to fight the passage of Propositions 1 and 2.

Their donations made up the majority of the group’s $25,000-budget, which funded mailers, pamphlets, door hangers and even robo-calls made to University Park residents in the days before the election.

One week before the election, Davis sent a

mailer out to the citizens of University Park, with a picture of a flashy town complete with bars and strip clubs emblazoned on its cover, with the title “If Propositions 1 and 2 are not defeated…The character of University Park is in danger of being lost forever.”

The mailer said that the passage of the propositions would “dramatically liberalize the drinking laws of University Park,” “significantly decrease property values,” and “erode the positive stewardship of UP children, young people and students.”

SMU has a history of refraining from official positions on University Park-related issues, unless

ADMINISTRATION

Athletics’ policy change pleases Faculty Senatepresident

Faculty Senate President Linda Eads said she was “pleased” by the administration’s response to a former athletic no-drop policy for student athletes, saying that it reinforced the idea that academics—not athletics—was the University’s main focus.

Eads spoke about the no-drop policy at Wednesday’s Faculty Senate meeting.

Her statements came after Provost Paul Ludden sent out a memo Oct. 28, which stated that all students must be allowed to drop classes at will.

The Daily Campus reported Wednesday on a past athletic policy where student athletes were not allowed to drop classes without the approval of athletic director Steve Orsini.

That story cited a 2009 Faculty Senate report, which stated that there was “controversy” in the faculty over the policy.

“On the one hand, the new policy reinforces our desire to see fewer drops in the university,” Dan Orlovsky, the athletic policies committee chair, said. “On the other, it treats student athletes differently than we treat the larger student body—a situation that we oppose.”

The no-drop policy has since been cancelled.

Athletic spokesman Brad Sutton told The Daily Campus that, “Athletics will follow the provost’s directive.”

Eads told Senate that Orsini “never had the authority” to prohibit student athletes from dropping a class and that it

CAREERS

Alumni tell studentsgovernment job stories

Five panelists from several branches of the federal government entertained a handful of students with both stories of their professional journeys and answers to questions about obtaining a position in government.

Assistant director of the Hegi Career Center, Janet Lewis, organized the panel in order to give students the chance to learn about opportunities available through the government.

“There are government opportunities for people with a variety of majors–from music education to civil engineering,” she said. “Students need to know about this.”

Uzo Awa graduated from SMU recently with degrees in philosophy, political science, and history and is looking to start her career.

“I’m wondering if there are any [government job] opportunities for

people with majors outside of math and science, like myself,” Awa said.

SMU alumna Patty Taylor from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that there are opportunities in the government for “every major.”

The way Taylor started her career with government, first as an engineer and now in management, was by participating in the government’s summer internships.

“Take advantage of your summer opportunities,” she said. “In my opinion, that’s the best way to get your feet wet.”

Taylor said that internships are a great way to open doors, especially for undergraduates.

Summer internship and career positions are posted in February or March, according to her, and often, they are only online for a few weeks.

Christie Watkins from the Federal Bureau of Prisons suggested applying when a new institution opens to get one of the many jobs that open along

directly involving the campus. Coinciding with this practice, President R. Gerald Turner had originally been publicly neutral on the issue.

However, after Davis asked for his evaluation, Turner publicly took a stance in a letter to the mayor, which was then sent to University Park residents.

“I do have serious concerns about continuous access to over-the-counter alcohol sales in package or convenience stores located close to the campus,” he wrote.

Turner mentioned that his main concern is the likelihood of underage students acquiring alcohol if it is sold in a close proximity to campus.

“Such adjacent, daily access would encourage greater underage consumption through easier individual alcohol purchase or bulk purchases facilitated by those 21 and older,” he wrote.

These purchases, as Turner stated, could then easily be brought to residence halls.

He continued to reference when SMU bought the Mrs. Baird’s site. In doing so, SMU demanded that the 7-Eleven on the land had to stop selling alcohol.

Many University Park residents considered the language of the mailers “fear-mongering” and the letter from Turner an example of political arm-twisting. Proponents of the law say that University Park is losing money by staying dry while surrounding cities go wet.

One of these “wet” cities is Highland Park, University Park’s next-door neighbor, which has allowed alcohol sales for over 60 years.

Until University Park’s citizens voted to go wet on Tuesday, customers could only have a drink with their dinner if they held a “private club membership.”

While private clubs are exempt from liquor laws governing dry cities, it does mean that customers have to show identification and fill out paperwork before buying a drink.

Marc Hall, the owner of Peggy Sue BBQ, Cisco Grill and Amore in Snider Plaza, believed the private club requirements were unreasonable and restrictive. In an interview with The Daily Campus, Hall said that his opponents “never really appreciated what it was like to own a restaurant.”

“It was ridiculous talking to these people who are from New York and want to have a beer with their chopped beef sandwich and you have to say ‘well, you have to be a member of our private club,’” Hall said.

Hall was also concerned with how remaining dry would affect the city of University Park monetarily. He and other business owners were concerned when they found out many parts of Dallas surrounding University Park would have wet/dry votes on the ballot during midterms.

“We thought, if it passes in Dallas, and we were thinking it would, it would literally leave us a dry hole,” Hall said.

Hall said that after 10 or 20 years this would begin to seriously affect business in University Park.

“Business owners would begin to think, ‘if I can just go a couple of minutes away from here and sell alcohol, why should I do business here?’” Hall said. “They would all leave.”

Hall is part of the University Park Merchants Association, which led the petition to get the vote to go wet on the ballot this November by collecting over 3,000 signatures from University Park residents.

The passage of the Propositions on Tuesday placated Hall’s concerns. According to University Park’s website: “University Park grocery and convenience stores will be able to stock beer and wine. Also, private club requirements have been eliminated for restaurants that serve alcohol.”

Retailers in the area are starting to prepare license applications to sell alcohol, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Already, 7-Eleven is getting ready to apply for applications for each of its 42 locations in the affected area.

Turner won’t have to worry about an increase of underage consumption today. According to University Park City Secretary Liz Spector, the county clerk must first verify the outcome of the vote.

The legislation then moves on to the Secretary of State and then to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Only after that can businesses begin to put in applications to the TABC to serve alcohol.

The city, Dallas County and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) then review applications, which usually takes two months. The TABC is expecting nearly 2,000 permit applications.

Spector said that University Park’s Community Development Department will review the applications in order to ensure that the businesses are within the proper zone and are following distance requirements.

“Typically, places that sell alcohol must be 300 feet away from things like school, churches and libraries.”

This 300 feet requirement will mean that places like the 7-Eleven on Hillcrest still won’t be able to sell alcohol.

COMPETITION

November brings 30 days of writing for National Novel Writing Month

Graphic by Helena Bologna

For most people, the month of November brings thoughts of fall, Thanksgiving and family. For others, November means lots of writing.

This month is not only for Thanksgiving, but also for National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo is a non-profit organization that challenges participants to write a 50,000-word novel from start to finish, going from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30.

The point of NaNoWriMo is to motivate people to write. Anyone can participate and write about anything.

The 30-day limit encourages people to use their creativity and gives them the opportunity to write a novel, something that many may never actually set aside time for.

“You’ve got nothing to lose, except for a tremendously fun month and the awesome accomplishment of completing the rough draft of that novel you’ve been wanting to write for as long as you can remember,” NaNoWriMo program director, Lindsey Grant, wrote on the website.

The writing challenge boosts participants’ confidence and shows them their own abilities which were unknown before, according to Grant.

“NaNoWriMo shows you what is actually possible,” she wrote. “If you can write a novel in a month, by the end of the experience, you think, oh my gosh, what else am I capable of ?”

“One of the wonderful discoveries about NaNoWriMo is that the novels that come out of this experience are ideal for reshaping and revising,” Grant wrote.

These drafts have even launched 60 published novels, including “Water for Elephants,” written by the New York Times No. 1 bestselling author Sara Gruen.

The novel is now being made into a film starring

Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon. Another aspect of participating in NaNoWriMo

is the socializing. There are many events held across the country that allow participants to write and meet other writers.

According to NaNoWriMo founder and executive director, Chris Baty, these events have proven to be a success.

“People tend to make new friends at these crazy writing events. At this point, we’ve had about a dozen marriages come out of NaNoWriMo, and there are even Wrimo babies in the

world,” Baty wrote on the website.NaNoWriMo began in 1999 and

has grown in popularity ever since. In 1999, there were 21 participants,

which escalated to 59,000 in 2005 and then to 167,150 participants in 2009.

NaNoWriMo inspires children to write as well. Last year, 1,295 schools participated.

“I never would have imagined this random idea would spread so widely,” Baty said.

“I feel like it’s a ringing endorsement for not knowing what you’re going to do with your life and just following the things that seem interesting to you,” Baty said.

Already this month, over 55 million words have been written, and 156, 415 writers have been furiously working on their novels, according to the website.

As November continues, it is expected that more words will be written, more friends will be made and even more bestselling novels will be drafted.

FACULTY SENATE: discusses University budget, converses with new Dedman dean, William Tsutsuiwasn’t the Athletic Department’s call.

The drop policy set by the University governs every student, Eads said.Eads said Ludden, in conjunction with President R. Gerald Turner, has

made it clear that “no student group is treated differently.”Jody Magliolo, chair of the all-university finance committee, presented

the university budget to Faculty Senate during Wednesday’s meeting.Magliolo reported that the University was butting up against self-imposed

restrictions on the fraction of tuition that goes to unrestricted scholarships. University trustees want it to remain under 20 percent.

After Magliolo discussed how managing to a single number might disproportionably tax certain students, Eads asked for information about individual schools’ financial aid awards.

Another concern highlighted by Magliolo was a rise in the cost of benefits to SMU employees.

He said the “alarmingly high” number can be attributed to health care costs and does not expect that the number will go down.

Faculty Senate also met with Dedman Dean William Tsutsui, who briefly discussed his impressions of SMU since joining the faculty.

He told senate that for the four months that he has been on campus, “all the positive impressions” about SMU he had when he first interviewed for the job “have been confirmed.”

Tsutsui said he was glad that SMU has “the luxury of being ambitious,” and that it has not felt pressure to cut costs and staff as many public universities have done.

Tsutsui said Dedman College is often seen as the second choice for many students who would rather major in another school, such as the Cox School of Business.

“Dedman College increasingly has to be the first choice,” he said.Tsutsui noted problems in Dedman, which caused it to be “less the sum

of its parts.” The three specific ideas that he is focused on are senate developing

a strategic plan for Dedman’s future, creating a policy on how Dedman allocates its space and improving the advising process for students.

Tsutsui also stressed the importance of a liberal arts education over a professional education, emphasizing that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for life.

“People need some time to sort out what they want to do,” he said. “Humanities does that.”

with it.“Everyone coming into the bureau is going to be a correctional officer

first,” she said. “Then you can move around.”By starting at a new corrections facility, Watkins said that opportunities

for promotion and getting a higher “grade” are far faster and easier.The government uses a grading system (1-15) to determine individuals’

salaries. The higher a person’s education and/or experience, the higher their grade and the more money they make. According to the panelists, if you work hard, you can move up grades quickly.

The application process for government positions has been notorious for taking one year or more to inform prospective employees about offers for positions.

Women’s Bureau Regional administrator Beverly Lyle, from the U.S. Department of Labor, said that it took her a year and a half to finally be offered her position. She said she was informed that she was the top candidate for the job, and then they pulled the position from the website without notice.

The panel said that this is not abnormal, for many positions depend on various governmental processes that go in and out of session.

“Don’t get frustrated with the system because it’s not always easy to navigate,” Lyle said.

Initially recruited to play linebacker after recording 154 tackles in high school, Line has stepped up as SMU’s feature running back. The sophomore scored seven touchdowns in 2009 and was considered a short yardage back. Line has already proved that he is much more than just a big back this year. On the season, Line has rushed for 918 yards and seven touchdowns. He is averaging 6.7 yards per carry and has been a hoss for the Mustangs. Last week versus Tulane, Line scampered for 177 yards and two touchdowns.

Robinson has developed into Padron’s favorite target. Last week the senior recorded five receptions for 182 yards and one touchdown against Tulane. Robinson leads SMU in receiving this year with 41 catches for 863 yards and nine touchdowns. In 2009, he was named to the ESPN Non-AQ All Bowl Team for his performance in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. Robinson’s 96-yard touchdown reception against East Carolina last year, tied the mark for the longest pass play in school history.

Banjo is considered to be a defensive stalwart and a leader in the Mustang secondary. Last year, he was second on the team with 86 tackles and also had one interception along with three forced fumbles. Banjo is the first SMU player to be awarded the number 23 in honor of the great Jerry LeVias. So far this year, Banjo has 53 tackles and four pass break ups. Last week versus Tulane, he recorded eight tackles including four solos and had a crucial game changing interception in the fourth quarter.

Mustangs attempt to become bowl eligible against MinersBy EJ HOLLAND

Sports Editoreholland@smu.edu

After a dramatic 31-17 fourth quarter comeback victory against Tulane last week, SMU is back in the Conference USA title mix and could become bowl eligible with their sixth win of the season this weekend.The Mustangs will take on the UTEP Miners in a pivotal Conference USA game at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas on Saturday at 8:05 p.m.

In 2009, the Miners finished with a 4-8 record overall and a 3-5 record in conference play. UTEP has already eclipsed the number of wins they had last year by starting the season off 5-1. However, the Miners have lost three straight games including last week’s tough

16-12 loss to Marshall. Last year’s contest between SMU and

UTEP came down to the wire and saw the Mustangs prevail 35-31 after scoring the game winning touchdown with four minutes remaining in the game.

In that game, SMU quarterback Kyle Padron threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a pair of scores. UTEP quarterback Trevor Vittatoe also had a tremendous day, passing for 396 yards and two touchdowns.

The Miners racked up 627 total yards, outgaining the Mustangs by nearly 200 yards. However, the Ponies were able to escape with the victory and clinch the first bowl eligible season since the death penalty was enacted.

UTEP is 4-1 at home this season while

the SMU is 2-2 on the road. The Mustangs are in the same situation as last year; if they win this game, they have the potential of a bowl game appearance.

Offensively, both teams are ranked in the top 60 in total yards and passing yards. The Mustangs are in the top 30 in both categories. Both teams have also been running the ball well and are averaging over 145 yards per game.

Padron has been solid this year, passing for 2,490 yards and 22 touchdowns. Padron threw for 354 yards and one touchdown and also added another score on the ground against Tulane.

For his efforts against the Green Wave, Padron was named the Manning Award Star of the Week. Padron currently leads Conference USA in pass efficiency and his

22 touchdown passes rank third nationally. He also ranks fifth nationally in passing yards and has a quarterback rating of 138.8.

Padron has three solid wide receivers to throw the ball to. Aldrick Robinson leads the receiving corps with 41 receptions for 863 yards and nine touchdowns. The senior is averaging 21 yards per reception and is ranked eighth nationally in receiving yards.

Junior Cole Beasley has not been too bad himself. He has caught 46 passes for 583 yards and five touchdowns on the season. Finally, Darius Johnson has been yet another explosive offensive weapon for the Mustangs. Johnson has 55 receptions for 718 yards and five touchdowns.

Vittatoe is on pace to shatter every

Miner passing record in school history. The four year field general has passed for over 3,000 yards every year since he’s been at UTEP.

Vittatoe may be a familiar face to SMU fans considering he played his high school football in the DFW area and won a state title his senior year at Euless Trinity.

On the season, the senior has thrown for 2,077 yards and 16 touchdowns including 229 yards and one touchdown against Marshall last week.

The Mustangs were able to find a ground game this year behind running back Zach Line who has rushed for 918 yards and seven touchdowns. The sophomore was very impressive last week, rushing for 177 yards and two touchdowns.

Defensively both teams are surrendering

an average of over 22 points per contest. The Mustangs allowed a season high 45 points to Houston two weeks ago in their only conference loss.

The Miners are led by linebacker Isaiah Carter who sat out last season due to academic reasons. This season, Carter is back and currently leads the team in tackles with 67 and also has one interception and a forced fumble.

The Mustangs are led by sophomore linebacker Taylor Reed currently leads the team with 91 tackles including 67 solos and 1 fumble recovery. Reed had a 20 tackle game against Navy earlier this year.

Look for a high scoring affair in this game as both teams seek their magical sixth victory of the year.

Vittatoe is considered by many as UTEP’s best quarterback in the university’s history. The four year starter has passed for over 3,000 yards every year and has been named Honorable Mention All Conference USA each season. Vittatoe came into his senior year ranked second in school history in pass attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns and total offense. So far this year, he has thrown for 2,077 yards and 16 touchdowns. Last week versus Marhsall, he passed for 229 yards and one touchdown.

He had a fumble recovery as well for the Miners. As a freshman, he played in all 12 games and tallied 13 tackles. Last week versus Marshall, he recorded four tackles.

Andrés Díaz, world famous cello soloist and faculty member of the Meadows School of the Arts, will perform a recital Monday Nov. 8 with works for cello that range considerably in style, time period and culture.

Díaz has included compositions that bring out the strengths and artistic character of the talented faculty members from SMU.

Two of the works that Díaz will play were composed by current Meadows faculty. One of them is Dean Bowen’s Etude in Eternal Twilight for piano and cello. Bowen, who will play his own piano part with Díaz, says the piece was influenced by Shostakovich and is both melodic and atonal. He wrote the piece while he was a senior in college.

In addition to Dean Bowen’s “Etude,” Díaz will perform Meadows faculty member Xi Wang’s virtuosic and emotionally driven “Rhapsody” for solo cello. Dr. Xi says Díaz loves the challenges “Rhapsody” poses to the performer in terms of technique and strength of playing. Díaz also plans to perform “Rhapsody” while on tour in Europe.

Chris Anderson, associate professor of sacred music at SMU,

will perform with Díaz in an unusual work for organ and cello, In Croce, written by Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina. Díaz says Gubaidulina is a deeply religious composer and the title In Croce refers to the importance placed by Christianity on the symbol of the cross.

Lucille Chung and Alessio Bax, both internationally renowned concert pianists and members of the piano faculty at SMU, will also lend their musical performance abilities to Díaz’s recital. Díaz and Chung will perform Kevin Putz’s Air for piano and cello. Bax also will join Díaz in playing Johannes Brahms’ timeless “Sonata No. 1” in E minor for cello and piano, Op. 38. Dr. Carol Leone, associate professor and head of piano, will perform with Díaz on Claude Debussy’s cello sonata.

Venturing outside of the Music Division, Díaz will collaborate with Stan Wojewodski, Jr., chair of the division of theatre, on “Of Fables, Foibles and Fancies” by Grant Beglarian. The work is divided into four short movements, with Wojewodski narrating a different story for each movement with cello accompaniment.

Tickets to the Faculty Artist Series concert are $13 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $7 for students, faculty and staff. For tickets or more information, call the Meadows box office at 214.768.2787.

The lights dimmed on a packed house at The Grenada while remnants of Janelle Monae’s R&B soul atmosphere lingered in the crowd. Strange images illuminated the stage’s surrounding screens as each band member casually made their way to their instruments, each dressed flamboyantly and emphasizing the enigmatic mood.

A hard bass backbeat and foreboding synthesizer lead Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal onto the stage. Purple tights, apron, and all, Barnes kicked off the night and fed the begging audience with “Coquet Coquette,” a hit from their new 2010 album, False Priest.

The band began their False Priest tour in July of 2010, just a few months before the album released in September. The album, similar to others, is saturated in disco influenced dance beats and sensual lyrics that fit the persona of the band members seemingly flawlessly and make for a great show.

Barnes danced through the night and performed songs, both old and new, while the audience gyrated and sang along. This, however, was very unlike any other concert in that sprinkled throughout a majority of the songs, Of Montreal decided that their presence alone was not

good enough for their fans — what better way to entertain then to bring a series of skeleton children, Chinese dragons, life-size pigs, and silver people into the act. And as if the characters and their costumes weren’t enough, these characters then proceeded to play out intricate scenes.

These scenes, though extremely scandalous, fit snuggly into the set list the band had put together and successfully enhanced the fan’s experience by adding to the shock factor previously created by the band member’s chosen attire. From pig bestiality, to cannibalism, to nuanced statements concerning young America, Of Montreal and their stage circus comically covered an overwhelming range of issues – all controversial, of course.

With music, dancing, some narrative driven scenes and costume changes, it’s hard to believe that the experience was a concert and not a musical.

For roughly a two-hour period of time Tuesday night, dull moments did not exist within the walls of The Grenada: only clean fun had by a vast array of people varying in both age and kind.

It was an remarkable was to end such a dreary day and in the words of Kevin Barnes, “All good stories end with a gong.”

The blonde, blue-eyed country singing beauty has done it again.

Taylor Swift’s new “Speak Now” album has debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and has sold more than a million copies since its Oct. 25 release.

Ten ‘Speak Now’ songs have already made the Billboard Hot 100 list, led by “Sparks Fly” at No. 17. Including the early release of ‘Mine’, Swift has a total of 11 titles on the list, ranking the most ever by a female artist.

At age 20 this young, talented artist has already released three studio albums over the course of her four year career. Even more impressive is the fact that all of her lyrics are self-written and her new album she co-produced alongside Nathan Chaman.

Her songs about loves, hopes and dreams are mildly addicting — sorry Kanye we can’t help it!

Hopeless romantics everywhere just can’t seem to get enough, and who’s to blame them. Even Jake Gyllenhaal can’t help himself.

After releasing one of the best country albums this year, Swift moves on to bigger and arguably better things.

In 2011 the four-time Grammy winner will set off for her Speak Now World Tour, which includes 85 shows in 18 countries.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) — Shannon Tavarez, the 11-year-old who starred on Broadway in “The Lion King” and whose battle with leukemia won the hearts of many, including Alicia Keys, Rihanna and 50 Cent, has died.

Tavarez died Monday afternoon at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park, on Long Island, said Katharina Harf, co-founder of the bone marrow donor center DKMS.

Tavarez, who played the young lion Nala, had received an umbilical-cord blood transplant in August. The procedure was performed as an alternative to a bone marrow transplant.

The search for a match was especially daunting because Shannon’s mother is African-American and her father is Hispanic, from the Dominican Republic. For bone marrow transplants, minorities and those of mixed ancestry have a more difficult time finding good matches because there aren’t as many people from those

groups signed up as potential donors. Right now, 83 percent of African-American patients who need marrow transplants don’t find matches after six months of searching, according to the National Marrow Donor Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping patients receive transplants.

On her website, which includes a photo of Shannon as Nala and a video of her singing “The Circle of Life,” the 78-pound actress said, “Some people think that the test for compatibility is scary! ... All it really takes to get started is a cotton swab of the inside of your cheek.”

A blood test showed she had acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive cancer that afflicts mostly adults.

Shannon was forced to quit the show in April. She beat out hundreds of other hopefuls last year to earn her spot playing Nala, the childhood pal and girlfriend of Simba, hero of “The Lion King.” She split the role with another girl, performing four shows a week for six months.

“It’s an indescribable feeling, being on stage,” she said. “I portray this character with fears, but who is so tough. I feel like that’s who I am.”

Her long, curly brown hair was gone because of chemotherapy, but the sixth-grader said the most difficult part was being away from acting and her friends.

Keys, Rihanna and 50 Cent campaigned to help Tavarez find a bone marrow donor, and cast members held bone marrow donor registration drives outside the play’s Minskoff Theater. Harf said the donor center registered 10,000 people as potential donors.

Child performers from “The Lion King” and other shows also sold bracelets and key chains that read, “Shine for Shannon,” to raise money to help pay for her medical bills.

“It’s rare that you meet such a spirited girl at such a young age,” Harf said. “She touched so many people to register. She was really, really a special girl.”

Opportunistic readings beget inaccurate portrayal of

Professor Charles CurranLast

Thursday, I attended Dr. Charles Curran’s public lecture, “The U.S. Catholic Bishops and Abortion Legislation: A

Critique from within the Church.” Curran has been no stranger to

controversy within his own church. He is a renowned Catholic scholar, ordained priest and SMU professor. The content of his arguments have been the subject of theological dispute and ecclesial controversy, be it merited or not.

Before the lecture, a group of people funneled into Hughes-Trigg to hear this “dissident” call official Catholic teaching into question. Unfortunately, what seemed to have amassed was a motley crew of zealots from both sides.

On one side were staunch “pro-lifers” with minds made up, ready to excommunicate Curran and to make him a heretic. Rapaciously alongside them were the staunch “pro-choicers,” also with minds made up, ready to crown Curran as their king after he

gave the Catholic Church what they saw as an intellectual pile-drive.

It remains unclear as to whether either side was attentive to Curran’s arguments. Both groups, however, were eager to create their own image of Curran.

Essentially, both extremes of the political/religious spectrum hijacked Curran’s scholarship for opportunistic aims.

Contrary to the Nov. 1 editorial published in The Daily Campus, Curran doesn’t oppose the Catholic Church’s moral teaching on abortion. Morally, Curran is opposed to abortion. He does not contest that “under Catholic morality, abortion has never been a choice.”

Neither did he attempt to inextricably “unite pro-choice position with Catholic teaching.” The tenuous mischaracterization asserted in the Nov. 1 editorial failed to recognize Curran’s distinction between the social and moral implications of abortion and between the pro-choice and pro-abortion positions.

What Curran did argue was that the United States Catholic Bishops claim too much “certitude” in their approach to abortion, specifically abortion law (i.e. legal action banning abortion).

The bishops contend that abortion must be staunchly opposed at the ballot box and in the courts, thereby making prudential judgment extraneous in addressing the moral problem of abortion. Curran’s arguments are precisely against these assertions.

However, Curran did not articulate a position that nullified the possible value or importance of an abortion law. He did, however, through the model provided by the Second Vatican Council’s 1965 Declaration on Religious Freedom, rebuke the argument that an abortion law is a requisite element of the legal campaign against the moral evil of abortion.

According to Curran’s account of the religious freedom approach, Catholics could reasonably conclude that abortion should be combated, either through a legal amendment or through reducing root causes like poverty or education, among other approaches. His argument does not require the inclusion of any specific, political component.

By design, his argument incorporates free will and freedom of conscience. Thus, it allows the justification of a Catholic voting for a “pro-choice” candidate if the individual has determined that doing so would best abrogate the occurrence

of abortions.He does not inextricably link

Catholic morality, social action or legal advocacy with “pro-choice” public policy.

Certainly, Curran’s arguments do not elude fallibility. Nonetheless, they are well-formed and honest scholarship. You may disagree with his conclusions, but do not misconstrue his arguments.

Mutilating an argument for one’s own purposes or shaping a point for one’s own goals only serves to perpetuate ignorance, infighting and deceit.

For both factions, his legacy has become a mythical caricature that only exists in the minds of its inventors. We risk remembering this scholar as either prophet or apostate. He is neither.

Personally, like the words of Dallas Bishop Kevin Ferrell’s letter, I pray that, “All people of our country will soon recognize that every human life is a gift to be cherished.” Furthermore, I pray that scholarly debate will be both valued and respected – both in church and state.

COMMENTARY

Drew Konow

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is in “perfect health” said an Iranian judiciary official addressing international concern that she had been stoned to death.

Last July, Ashtiani’s case appalled the international community. Over four years ago, Ashtiani was convicted

of adultery and in July 2010, she was additionally charged with the murder of her husband. She was sentenced to death by stoning.

Around the world, this verdict was received with outrage. Human rights organizations protested heavily, and the International Committee against Stoning led a vehement global dissent and increased media awareness. The United States, United Kingdom and Canada, amongst other countries, also condemned the execution.

Public stoning has been used historically as a capital punishment because it diffuses the responsibility for the death amongst the community members who throw the stones. Thereby, each person throwing a stone is protected, and no one person can be identified as killing the suspect.

Stoning had not been a common practice in the modern history of Iran until 1983 when the penal code was revised to accept this form of capital punishment. Still, stoning was more rare than it is today. The election of current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saw a revival of the practice, emphasizing that Iranian history cannot be seen as eschatological. It is not linear, but rather oscillates between a conservative, theocratic regime and a

more open, democratic rule.While the inhumane and barbaric nature of this

form of punishment has long been condemned by global human rights organizations, Ashtiani’s case received particular attention this past summer.

Finally, in September of 2010, in response to the international outcry, an Iranian government official announced that she would be hanged, not stoned, for the murder of her husband.

Despite this September announcement, there were still allegations that Ashiani would be stoned this past Wednesday. Thankfully, she was not.

Nonetheless, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman denounced the international pressure saying, “They have become so shameless that they have turned the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who has committed crime and treason ,into a human rights case against our nation.”

It seems at least a little ironic that it is the human rights organizations and other nations that are being given the epithet “shameless,” when the Iranian government was on the brink of stoning a woman to death. To me, this is unimaginable; that this form of punishment continues to exist, sanctioned by a recognized state is beyond words.

Is it possible that despite the exponential increase in communication, the interconnectedness of a globalized world, and the person-centeredness of liberal regimes, there is no advancement, and we continue to make use of such archaic forms of punishment?

Not quite. There is a silver lining.Iran is a country infamous for its dissidence and

façade of obliviousness to international pressure. Yet, this time, they listened. And, they responded.

Ashtiani is alive today because initiatives like

Amnesty International’s Urgent Action Campaign popularized her plight. This opinion is in a university newspaper in the United States of America, addressing a problem occurring on the other side of the world because of the recognition that this case is being given internationally.

And best of all, this opinion will not end with the tragic death of Ashtiani. Rather, the isolationist paradigm whereby Iran ignored modern liberal values and returned to extreme conservative ideals cannot be sustained. Today, this is no longer tenable.

Though Amnesty International (AI) was evicted from Iran in 1979 during the revolution, this week AI’s voice was again heard in the country, despite the sustained lack of physical presence in the country. Individuals around the world wrote letters and appealed to their governments, and it made a difference. This is not to say that Iran is now succumbing to all the standards of international human rights organizations, but no longer is Iran giving the global community the cold shoulder. Despite not being pleased, Iran has to, at least, respond.

The primitiveness of stoning can be contrasted with the newfound efficacy of international human rights pressure.

Today, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is alive. And you were able to make a difference.

CARTOONBRIEF

Perils of conservative tradition in Texas may

have negative consequenceSince a few days before midterm elections, I have been consumed by

interviews with all Dallasites involved in politics. From Craig Watkins to Stephen Broden, I’ve talked to them all. And while many of these interviews were interesting and showed me the true level of dirtiness that is Dallas politics, the one interview that actually made me take a step back and think was my interview with Cal Jillson, a political science professor here at SMU.

In our first interview, he told me that the fear that Texans have of taxes and an active government will eventually cripple our state. He said that if Texans continue to reject candidates that want make big changes to government, we are eventually going to pay serious consequences.

Texans are not only against big government, they are terrified of it. Because of this, they reject changes that might even slightly raise their taxes. Rick Perry’s “I’m not going to improve education, I’m not going to make new roads unless they’re toll roads and I won’t improve access to healthcare” is preferable to any promises of improvement made by Bill White. Why? Because if we don’t improve anything, we don’t have to raise taxes.

At some point, this is going to have to change. Jillson pointed out that Texas has a rising minority population that is going to need a better education than we can currently provide. We may be fine now, but in a few years, our youth population will absolutely not be able to compete in a global job market.

Texas already sits low in nation-wide rankings of education. Our drop out rate is ever-increasing, and our teacher retention rate is getting lower. Without substantial reform, we will always be one of the least-educated states in America.

But until Texans are willing to put a governor into office that promises these changes and is capable of making them, these changes won’t be made. It is a shame that Texans are so afraid of government they squirm in their seats when someone speaks of education reform because it may mean that they need to open their pocketbooks a little wider.

Staunch advocates of small government promote things like school vouchers and the complete privatization of public schools. While these are ideas are good in theory, in reality they will never actually happen. It is time for Texans to be pragmatic and take steps that have been proven to work.

More teachers, smaller class sizes and an increase in the number of specialized charter schools are all proven measures for bettering education. But Texans haven’t done any of that on a large scale because we hate the idea that the government should be able to expand anything.

Well, here’s the deal Texas: We are heading towards disaster. We need to do something about it. Riding the Tea Party wave may be hip now, but it will eventually come back to bite us when, 10 years from now, we realize that our youth population doesn’t have a good enough education to get a well-paying job.

I am not a proponent of big government. I, like many of you, don’t want government provided healthcare or to buy my car from the federal government. I am just a proponent of being realistic. It is simply not realistic to think that we can reform education without an increase in funding. It is simply unrealistic to continue voting candidates into office that advocate a private takeover of public education, and it is further ridiculous to buy the argument that our public schools are doing just fine.

Wake up, Texas. It is selfish for us to continue to nickel and dime our education system into failure. We need to stop electing candidates that do not have any plans to decrease our drop out rate and improve our education. We made a mistake this time around; let’s not make it again in 2014.

A volcano in Indonesia, Mount Merapi, erupted again, doubling the death toll. At least 35 people have been killed in the newest eruption. Approximately 75,000 people have been evicted from the area. Dozens are being treated for burns and respiratory problems after a gas cloud hit villages. At least 68 people have now been killed by eruptions of Mount Merapi. Government volcanologist told the AP: “This is the biggest eruption so far. The heatclouds went down the slopes as far as 13km (eight miles) and the explosion was heard as far as 20 kilometres away.” More eruptions are expected, and the danger zone has been expanded in response to this.

MEN’S SOCCER

Senior goalkeeper honoredBy EJ HOLLAND

Associate Sports Editoreholland@smu.edu

SMU senior goalkeeper Craig Hill has been named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week and to the College Soccer News Team of the Week for his five-save performance against conference foe Kentucky on Saturday night at Westcott Field.

Hill has helped lead the No. 5 Mustangs to a 14-1-0 overall record and 6-1-0 mark in Conference USA action.

His efforts against Kentucky helped the Mustangs clinch the regular season Conference USA title and a first round bye in the Conference USA tournament on senior night.

“It was a great feeling coming out here putting on that on that kind of performance and coming out with a clean sheet and a win,” Hill said after the Kentucky game.

A clean sheet was the perfect way to end Hill’s final regular season home game at SMU. The shutout was Hill’s third of the season and SMU’s second consecutive shutout.

Defensively, the Mustangs played one of their best games of the season against the Wildcats. In the 26th minute, Hill made a spectacular diving save that got the team and the crowd energized, preventing the Wildcats from etching into the 2-0 SMU lead.

“We just kept the ball same thing as we always do,” Hill said. “We limited their chances and we did what we were supposed to do, and I kept the ball out of the back of the net.”

If all goes well in the Mustangs’ next game and in the Conference USA tournament, the senior captain is hopeful that he will get to return to Westcott Field for the NCAA tournament.

Fortunately for us, we may get some more home games but you never know, so it feels great,” Hill said.

The weekly honor is the first of the year for Hill and the second of his career. Hill’s previous honor came during his sophomore year in October of 2008.

Hill, originally from San Antonio, Texas, was a NSCAA All-American in 2005 as a senior for San Antonio Reagan High School.

He recorded 23 shutouts in 40 starts during his time Regan. Hill also played club soccer with the San Antonio Hammer ‘87 and the Austin Lonestars ‘88 Red teams.

The fifth year senior was selected by CollegeSoccerNews.com as one of its 100 Freshmen to Watch but was redshirted by SMU his freshman year.

In 2008, Hill became a full time starter as a sophomore and showed SMU fans his potential as a top goalkeeper.

He racked up 11 saves in a match against Northern Illinois and recorded six shutouts for the year.

As a junior in 2009, Hill went the first 346 minutes of the season without allowing a goal in the course of play. He finished the season with three saves and a 1.44 goals allowed per game average.

This season, Hill has started all 15 games and has only allowed 16 for an average of 1.05 goals per game. He has also tallied 52 saves and three shutouts.

Hill will star in SMU’s final regular season game against Florida International in Miami on today at 6 p.m.
