Apple to release next generation iPad

Balance and moderation — that was the main topic of Islamic Awareness Week’s interfaith discussion panel Monday night.

Dozens of students gathered in the Hughes-Trigg commons to hear from religious leaders of Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

Amar Zeynu, a junior mechanical engineering student and executive board member of the Muslim Student Association, said the event was held to encourage conversation among people of all faiths.

“It’s for us to get together, learn about each other, ask questions and clarify anything you want to know about the other faiths,” Zeynu said.

A common theme could be found in the responses on balance and moderation.

Each religious leader discussed how the essential truths of their religions stress the importance of balance and moderation.

However, they all spoke of extremists within their religions whose actions go against the core values of their faiths.

“Balance and moderation is a challenge,” Rabbi David Gruber said, describing extremist behavior he witnessed by some Jewish people in Israel.

Abdul Nasir Jangda, an Islamic Imam, said Muhammad teaches his followers to, “be very careful about being extreme in your religion.”

Campus Pastor Jerret Sykes said some Christians are extreme in their hate and judgment of others.

However, he says the Bible teaches, “to be extreme in how

you pursue love.”Zahra Khan, a sophomore

marketing and English major, said she learned a lot about the spectrum of views within each religion.

“The fact that there are so many different points of view was really interesting to me,” she said.

Dr. Robert Hunt, the evening’s moderator and director of Global Theological Education at SMU, posed the next question about how modesty relates to moderation.

Again, the three religious leaders shared a similar response of an overall presence of modesty — in appearance and in spirit — as a key aspect of their religions.

Next, audience members submitted questions with topics ranging from women’s roles within each religion to the central hope of each faith.

The responses to many of the audiences’ questions revealed some of the key differences across the three religions.

Khan said she believes it is important to understand these differences.

“To get along with other people, you need to understand their religion and where they are coming from,” she said.

Zeynu said that is what Islamic Awareness Week is all about.

“The reason that we do this is because a lot of people really don’t know what Muslims believe and they don’t know what Islam stands for,” he said.

This interfaith discussion was the first of many events that will be held this week.

Other topics that will be addressed are Islam and art, Islam and the environment and Islam and the media.

It’s official — Apple official.Apple sent out invitations

Tuesday that read, “We have something you really want to see and touch.”

Despite rumors of the event being held in New York City, this clever riddle reveals that Apple will debut the next generation iPad on March 7 in San Francisco.

The event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

“I am so excited to see what the new iPad 3 looks like and what new additions it will have,” sophomore Nicole Matthews said.

“I wasn’t expecting it to come out so soon.”

Much speculation has generated about the next iPad as usually occurs for any new Apple product ensues whenever Apple is to release a new product.

Some assumptions include features, pricing and even the name.

Apple has continuously proven that it will undoubtedly have some major surprises for its consumers — as it did when it released the new iPhone 4 S.

“There are so many rumors about any Apple product before it comes out that it’s almost obnoxious to even try to preempt their events or describe their products,” senior Rob Burns said.

What is certain about the next generation iPad is that it will be powered by a quad-core CPU and host 4G LTE data connectivity.

In non-tech geek terms, the 4g LTE data connectivity will allow the iPad to run ten times faster as the current iPad 1 and 2 running on 3G.

The quad-core CPU allows less of a delay when running the different applications, particularly video or gaming applications.

Until March 7, speculations will run rampant about the new iPad.

Who knows, maybe it will be called the iPad 2 S? After all, Apple remains a mystery.

The Korean Peninsula is a region of contradictions.

After the peninsula was split into the areas that currently make up North and South Korea in 1945, the nation-states have moved in two different directions.

A panel composed of Dr. Hiroki Takeuchi, a SMU assistant professor, Chong Choe, the chair of the Korean American Coalition and Brian Park of the National Advisory Council discussed the past, present and future of the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday.

After the split, South Korea became one of the world’s greatest economic powers while North Korea became a totalitarian state with a monumental food crisis.

“Koreans were the same people for more than 5000 years. They speak the same language and shared the same culture,” Park said.

With the rise of communism in North Korea and further militarization under Kim Jong-Il, the nation became especially important to world affairs.

“The issue of nuclear development in North Korea is the most troubling,” Takeuchi said. “While the rise of China and the Taiwan Strait issue are on balance because of a strong economic relationship, North Korea is crucial to the future of East Asia.”

Under Kim Jong-Il, North Korea developed nuclear weapons. Since then, the country has continuously

agitated its neighbor to the south.A South Korean island was

attacked by the Kim Jong-Il regime on Nov. 23, 2010.

The event marked one of the heaviest attacks on South Korea since the Korean War ended in 1953.

With Kim-Jong Il’s death earlier this year, the reins of the nation have been put in the hands of Kin Jong-Un.

Many experts hope that Un will bring a change to his country by allowing for free market reforms and international dialogue.

“Some believe that Un is willing to reach out to the foreign community but very little is known about him,” Choe said.

However, Takeuchi warned that more emphasis should be put on individuals other than the leader.

“What a leader can do is quite limited. Officials in government wield large amounts of power and they are very good at the tasks they are given,” he said. “And the military holds a lot of importance in North Korea.”

He also alluded to a possible post-famine shift in North Korea’s economic system.

“After failed reform and a famine in China, there was an opening up of special economic zones and the country began to understand the importance of market economy,” he said.

Panelists stressed the humanitarian need in the northern half of the peninsula.

“It is very difficult to portray how horrible it is to live there,” Choe said. “There is a system of espionage

where you are told to spy on your neighbor and you cannot disrespect the leader in anyway.”

North Korean citizens have been put in work camps — effectively known as death prisons by the academic community — for folding a newspaper on the face of any leader.

“When I visited the country, I only got to see the absolutely perfect part of the country,” Choe said. “Even when I was at a fancy restaurant, one of the few in North Korea, it was hard to eat when you knew people around you were starving.”

South Korea has often tried to aid its northern neighbor through economic policies.

The Sunshine Policy, which was effective from 1997 to 2008, provided North Korea with food assistance with a combination of help from the government, the private sector and

non-governmental organizations.“But, the policy has been criticized

because it might have saved the Kim Jong-Il regime from collapse and a social revolution that might have followed,” Park said.

All the experts hinted at the possibility of reunification — a possibility that might occur in the next decade under the correct conditions.

“Unification will definitely come true,” Park said. “Once North Koreans experience the world and its true shape, there will be real change.”

While there are great hurdles to reunification, the hope of a united Korean peninsula touched Korean students in the audience.

“I hope that this happens one day for my country. I hope the experts are right, “ Kang Park, a local high school student, said.

Lauren Lyngstad (above) and Caroline Baliker’s birthday falls on Feb. 29 meaning that after 20 years, she technically turns 5 years old on Wednesday — Leap Day.

Two leaping ladies, one extra daySARAH KRAMER

Editor in [email protected]

Lauren Lyngstad is a Leap Day baby. According to her birth certificate, she is turning 5 years old Wednesday. In reality, she’s celebrating her 20th year.

As an event that only comes once every four years, and doesn’t involve politics or the Olympic games, Lyngstad has the perfect excuse to honor her birthday for multiple days, especially when the year is one day longer.

“I think that when your birthday only comes around once every four years, you have an excuse to celebrate extravagantly to make up for the three years I technically didn't have a birthday,” she said.

When she was born in 1992, Lyngstad’s parents decided to make her official birthday March 1. While she knew she was born on Feb. 29, she was confused why her actual birthday wasn’t on the calendar ... Or, only appeared every four years.

“When I was younger my mom would write the 29th in on the calendar on years it didn’t exist just to make me feel better,” she said. “It’s hard to grasp the concept that your real birthday only comes every four years when you’re young.”

Unlike Lyngstad, sophomore Caroline Baliker celebrates her birthday on Feb. 28 on non-leap years and both Feb. 28 and Feb. 29 the other three years.

Baliker always knew her birthday was the last day of February, but it wasn’t until her fourth birthday

that she found out the date on her birth certificate, and later driver’s license, only falls once every four years.

“I figured out that my birthday only came every four years when boys in my kindergarten class told me that I didn’t have a birthday that year and made me cry,” she said. “My parents told me I would appreciate it later in life and ever since then I have loved it.”

Though their birthday caused some confusion when they were younger, today, both girls embrace being born on a special day.

“I love being born on leap day because no one ever forgets,” Baliker said.

For Lyngstad, saying she’s born on Leap Day is always her fun fact.

While many people believe that meeting someone born on Feb. 29 is rare, both girls graduated high school with at least one other person sharing their birthday.

I graduated from high school with three other people who shared my birthday,” Lyngstad said. “My class was about 250 people so it was actually kind of crazy.”

Because they can only truly celebrate once every four years, both girls plan on honoring the day regardless of how old they are turning ... in leap years, or real years.

“I’m definitely going to have to celebrate my leap year age on certain occasions when I’m older,” Lyngstad said. “When I turn 21 in leap years I’ll technically be 84, so that’s one I hope I celebrate properly.”

Simple budgeting for a healthy diet NUTRITION

MACEY MERIGGI Contributiing writer

[email protected]

Eating healthy, once it becomes habit, is simple but can be taxing on your bank account.

However, budget concerns should not inhibit healthy habits as there are inexpensive ways to go about staying well-stocked with healthy food.

Buy in BulkThe benefits of buying fresh

produce in bulk are boundless. Take a trip to the local

farmer’s market with a couple of friends and stock up on fruits and vegetables.

At the farmer’s market, each vendor has produce grouped into baskets with a predetermined price.

The amount of food in each basket is usually too large for one person to consume in a week and that is why bringing friends is a good idea.

Splitting a basket between two or three people is cost-effective and will ensure that your food does not goes to waste.

Another approach is to go by yourself and buy the foods you like with the intention of freezing

the food that you will not use in the next week.

Freezing is a tried and true method of preserving fruit.

Having frozen fruit on hand is perfect for making healthy smoothies.

With vegetables and meat, you

can either freeze it immediately or cook it first.

Canned or dry beans are also great to stock up on because not only are they incredible sources of protein, they are also very inexpensive.

Dry beans are a little more

work to make but if you are really trying to pinch pennies, the added effort will pay off.

Stores like Sunflower Market, Central Market and Whole Foods all have bulk sections.

There you can usually find beans, nuts and other non-

perishable items at a much cheaper price than the pre-packaged meals that are loaded with sodium and unnecessary added ingredients.

Look for dealsClipping coupons is a little

extreme but in some cases those little pieces of paper can help you out big time.

An easier way to get deals without the added trouble of making paper snowflakes is to check your mail.

Every week, the local groceries print up flyers with their weekly deals printed in bold.

It’s tempting to toss these flyers out with the rest of your junk mail but take a second to check it out.

Using these flyers you can see which of your favorite foods are on sale and where you can save on these items.

Also, you can compare prices from store to store without having to get off the couch.

Plan aheadMaking a shopping list before

you head to the store may seem like common sense but many people skip this step.

Having a list of things you need and sticking to it can really

help you keep your budget in check.

If you walk through the store aimlessly, there’s a good chance you will end up with more food than needed and most of it will go to waste.

When writing your shopping list, look at what is already in your kitchen and think of other food items that would compliment what you already have.

When you go to the store with an agenda, you will come out spending less.

Shop aroundWhile in the store, do not

forget to compare prices of each type of item.

Often times the store brand is far less expensive than the name brand.

Keeping an open mind when it comes to brand names can help you stretch your dollar further than you might expect.

So you see, it really is not that hard to eat healthy if you are on a tight budget.

Many times people forget how important it is to eat healthy but that is the trick to reaching your weight loss goals.

Not only does healthy food have physical benefits, you will

Dr. Jones’s collection is housed in the Greer Garson Theatre climate controlled 3,800 square-foot storage vault.

The G. William Jones Film and Video Collection current holdings include more than 9,000 film prints and negatives in all formats, more than 3,000

If you run for over an hour, you tend to notice things that you would not normally see, if only to keep yourself entertained. On Saturday I had a gorgeous run around White Rock Lake. In an attempt to entertain myself, I accidentally became enlightened. It occurred to me that public parks are very valuable and democratic places.

I came to White Rock Lake because it has a paved, mostly pretty, and long trail around the entire lake, but I got a lot more than just a beautiful run. I experienced the colors, the cultures and the people of Dallas.

At the beginning of my run, a group of elderly friends biked past me. They were enjoying their time together, except for an old man at the back of the group, who was complaining loudly about his thirst in a bright Texas twang.

A few minutes later, I passed a dog park, where I noticed a gay couple in their mid-thirties trying quite unsuccessfully to coax their dog out of the lake by throwing a stick. The dog seemed to take pleasure in his owners’ irritation. Just before I passed the area, one of the men skulked towards the water with an exasperated and doomed expression on his face.

The next section of the lake had seating areas and picnic tables. I passed Hispanic, Indian and Korean families within the next mile. I was fascinated by all of the languages I heard in one place.

Then came the colorful characters. My eye was almost instantly drawn to the definition of a white male’s mid-life crisis. Sitting on a bench next to the path was a slightly overweight, balding man wearing non-descript wire rimmed glasses that accentuated the tired roundness of his eyes and pudgy head. I think the first thing that drew my attention was the black leather jacket that tightly gripped his shoulders. It was punctuated by silver studs that lent him the look of a dinosaur. His jeans were old, a little too tight for him and tucked into ankle-high black leather boots with more silver accents, which were better suited for a sullen teenager than a man.

He spoke rapidly into the phone with his businesslike, baritone, Midwest voice, bemoaning his job with long nasal vowels in every word. He paused for a moment between phrases, only to interject over whoever was on the other side of the line.

I passed him and made way for a group of committed bicyclists who wore matching body suits advertising an energy drink. Soon afterward, I heard a loud truck behind me, which was confusing since I was on a pedestrian and bicycle path. Slightly alarmed, I turned around and saw the mid-life crisis driving a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a seat behind for his wife or girlfriend, who had elected not to accompany him. He blared ‘80s rock over his muffler.

On the final stretch, I encountered a man in his seventies with a surprisingly healthy head of bleached blond hair that had a peculiar yellow tint. He was wearing a tight hot pink T-shirt that highlighted his stomach and skimpy cut-off jean shorts that managed to be whiter than his legs. A young girl pointed at him and said something that I couldn’t understand. Her mother looked mortified.

The beauty of this experience was that all of these diverse people with various eccentricities and interests and ages were able to enjoy the park together. It was a strangely harmonious convergence of very different people. The park goers were kind and courteous to each other, but there was a general understanding of boundaries. It was a real life application of “live and let live,” which allowed every person in the park some solitude from everyday life.

PAuL KROEGEROPInIOn [email protected]

A surprising shift has occurred in the American political scene. The 2012 election looked like it was going to be focused on the economy and not much else.

This prediction was grounded in high unemployment and the lackluster performance of the U.S. economy in general. However, social issues have become a hot topic as of late.

The contraception mandate that was part of the Affordable Care Act caused quite a stir. Catholics protested the policy that would have forced Catholic institutions such as hospitals to provide access to contraception.

The problem was that contraceptives should not be used in Catholic tradition. The controversy was whether or not the contraception mandate was a government infringement on religious liberties.

These claims are outlandish. If you look into the facts, you will see that the mandate is not all that new. Nick Bauman reports, “But the central mandate — that most employers have to cover preventative care for women — has been law for over a decade.

This point has been completely lost in the current controversy, as Republican presidential candidates and social conservatives claim that Obama has launched a war on religious liberty and the Catholic Church.”

This shows that the recent uproar was simply a political game. Republicans have been out to undo the Affordable Care Act since its inception, and this was just another effort to discredit it. If the mandate was really a threat to religious liberty, it would have been brought up before now.

The uproar caused the Obama administration to alter the policy slightly. Now

the institutions themselves do not have to provide for contraceptives, but the insurance companies must offer contraceptives to the employees who want them.

I would like to commend the leadership for how the handled the controversy. The Obama administration was able to diffuse the situation and move on, showing good leadership. The administration and the Church were able to compromise.

The issue has stuck with the Republican presidential race longer. Social issues have become more of a political focus because of the indecision among many in the Republican base. Candidates are simply appealing to social issues in an attempt to obtain votes for the nomination.

As poll numbers taken from an Associated Press report about the recent Arizona debate show, “Meanwhile, there are signs that President Barack Obama may be benefiting from the increased GOP focus on social issues, at least a bit.

A new Associated Press-GfK Poll found Obama with an eight-point lead over Mitt Romney, nine points over Santorum and 10 points over Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. The survey showed the president dominating among independents, a group central to his 2008 victory.”

Bringing social issues into this presidential race may prove costly for Republicans come November. Every rightward lurch to attract primary voters can alienate moderates.

The Republicans’ harping about social issues may bring about more passionate responses, but it is not going to bring about electoral victories.

Michael is a freshman majoring in human rights and political science with minors in Arabic and religious studies.

I don’t think anyone expected this to be a debate we would have in the 21st century. I don’t think Rick Santorum expected this to be a debate we would have, and most of all, I don’t think Barack Obama expected that we would be debating contraception.

I honestly don’t think Barack Obama understands what he did wrong with this contraception mandate. The compromise that he offered proves he doesn’t understand what is wrong with his actions.

For those of you who are not familiar with this particular issue, its an unfortunate consequence of an already misguided healthcare law, but that’s another issue for another day. One provision of Obama’s healthcare law requires employers who provide insurance to ensure coverage for birth control.

This includes every employer, whether a small business, a charity, a large corporation, or anything in between. The controversy is that this mandate extends to Christian and other religious groups such as charities and hospitals, and for Catholics in particular, this is a big problem.

The Catholic church sees the use of contraception as a sin, and as such, it goes against their conscience to provide it.

The Catholic bishops in America were naturally outraged that the federal government is forcing them to go against their conscience, and social conservatives across the country joined them in opposition to what is clearly an attack on religious freedom.

Catholics are an important voting bloc that compromises about 25 percent of the electorate, and so naturally the Democrats realized they needed to do something.

I said earlier that I don’t think President Obama understood what the real problem is. This was made clear by what his first proposed compromise was.

His first plan was to simply give the Christian charities an

extra year before the mandate took effect. This solved nothing. All it did was give the church an extra year before they were forced to violate their policies. The time frame wasn’t the issue here, and the fact that Obama thinks it was proves that he knows nothing of the true issue here.

The second compromise planned still doesn’t do anything, it just forces insurance companies to cover contraception instead of businesses and non-profits.

Now, all insurance companies will have to cover contraception, so Christian charities would still indirectly have to pay for it. Religious businesses don’t want to and shouldn’t have to pay for contraception, either directly or indirectly.

The First Amendment gives a protection against government infringing upon “prohibiting the free exercise” of religion. Being forced to go against the teachings of the church is precisely what the founders didn’t want to happen and tried to protect against with the First Amendment.

And by the way, no, conservatives aren’t trying to ban contraception, and it is ludicrous to claim we are. Imagine if there were a law that forced mosques to sell bacon, and when the outrage occurs over the violation of religious freedom, being asked “why are you trying to ban bacon?” Further, it doesn’t matter if 98 percent of Catholic women use contraception, because it still goes against the teachings of the church to force a Catholic hospital or charity to provide it. Just because a Catholic sins doesn’t mean that the government has the right to force the church to enable the sinning.

Don’t let the media distract you with questions about banning contraception or classifying this issue alongside abortion as a so-called “Social Issue.” This is a religious liberty issue, and the government should never force a church to do anything it finds deplorable.

Weekly Daily Campus Debate:Contraception MandateDEMOCRAT REPUBLICAN

As I procrastinate studying for midterms I’ve found myself checking up on my friends from back home on Facebook (don’t we all). I took a quick peek through my high-school’s network, and noticed that several of my friends are now engaged, or dare I say it, having children.

Whoah, I feel old. I quite enjoy being a free college man. And while dating and being single is fun, perhaps I’ve begun to crawl into the dating world.

I spoke with a friend recently about meeting possible significant others, and one of the first questions she asked me was, “Have you Googled him?”

Googled him? I didn’t know that was acceptable. Furthermore, I don’t

think I want to discover everything about a potential lover online. The point of going on dates, or so I thought, was to get to know another individual. Most of the introductory questions one asks on a first date pertain to their work, history, family and past accomplishments.

Now, that has fallen to the Great Search Engine of our time.

For fun, I Googled a friend of mine to see what popped up. Their Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter profiles were the top three. High school and college accomplishments followed on the next pages. Then I felt nervous.

So, like any curious man, I Googled myself. My social media outlets, unfortunately, didn’t even appear. I share the same name as a prominent designer and architect, one you’ve probably seen around Target. So, I narrowed my search.

“Michael Graves; SMU” proved to be a better option.

My writing, accomplishments, work experience and some family history appeared on the screens. I guess I didn’t realize how much the internet knew about me.

Thankfully, My privacy settings are set to where my mother can barely see what I do outside of home (not that I’m a horrible person, I just keep my life private).

I did realize that not only could a potential date, but future employers look up everything about my life. In fact, in the Communications School, we’re often challenged to see how we can make our name come up in the top ten hits on Google. It’s proved to be easier than I thought.

I found that my pictures from scholarship profiles were also a top hit and let’s just say it’s not the most flattering image. I made a great

choice to chop off my large afro at the beginning of Freshmen year.

My final conclusion was that I need to really think about how I’m a catch to a significant other. Will they see crazy stories from the Daily Campus, or focus on my previous work with nonprofits? One look at my older pictures could send men running from miles away.

But I did learn something. This whole Google thing is the creepiest thing ever. If I started a pledge for people to not research new love interests online, would anyone sign it? Or do we really like the idea of knowing everything about a person before we sit down for that first romantic dinner? If you’ll excuse the pun, it’s good food for thought.

Michael is a sophomore majoring in communications studies and religious studies.

Mustangs to take onSouthern Miss Wednesday

With only two games remaining SMU heads to Hattiesburg, Miss. to take on the Conference USA No. 2 team, Southern Miss, Wednesday night.

The Mustangs are currently wrapping up the C-USA ranking in the last place spot with a 3-11 record.

In recent matchups with Southern Miss, SMU has won two of the last three games.

During last season’s battle on the hardwood, SMU had the second best shooting performance in school history. Stand out Papa Dia had a perfect performance shooting 10-for-10 from the field with 23 total points. Robert Nyakundi had 16 points during the game while Collin

Mangrum followed closely with 15 points and Rodney Clinkscales with 12 points from the field.

Senior sharp shooter Robert Nyakundi is currently 19th in NCAA and leading C-USA in three-point percentage at 43 percent. This is Nyakundi’s second season in a row to lead the league from behind the arc. Last season, Nyakundi finished second in the NCAA in three-point shooting at 49 percent.

London Giles and Jeremiah Samarrippas have led the pack for the SMU newcomers.

Giles is the Mustang’s second -best shooter with a season total 108 points thus far. Also playing well on the defensive side of the court, Giles leads the stampede in steals averaging 1.2 per game

Playing at the point, Samarrippas is ranked fifth in C-USA averaging nearly seven points per game and

4.3 assists.As a young team, three of

SMU’s top-five scorers are playing in their first season as a part of the Mustang nation.

Giles follows behind Nyakundi with 10.8 points while Jalen Jones is in third with 8.1 points and sophomore transfer from University of Texas Shawn Williams is fifth with 6.1 points.

Overall, the Mustangs lead C-USA in defensive scoring this season, setting a new program record for the second straight season after holding opponents to 61.3 points per game in 2010 to 2011.

Wednesday night’s game will mark the first time SMU has played on Leap Day since a victory over Texas in 1984.

Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
