Lyle School of Engineering teams up with Cox School of Business RACHEL GORGOL Contributing Writer rgorgol@smu.edu Lyle School of Engineering recently teamed up with Cox School of Business to add a business specialization to the recently launched Master of Science in Datacenter Systems Engineering degree. Beginning this fall, Lyle students can combine the engineering accounting class with three of Cox’s business courses to earn a business specialization. “Too often, great technologists are handicapped by their inability to understand the worlds of finance and business,” said Chris Crosby, founder and CEO of

Compass Datacenters in a press release. According to an SMU press release, Lyle’s DSE program is designed to prepare professionals for leadership roles by providing students with a solid foundation for continued professional growth consistent with modern datacenter engineering practices and industry transformations. Crosby believes this program will help future students become better in their respective fields. “I truly believe that this SMU program can produce the next great wave of business leaders in datacenters,” Crosby said.

People crowd around a stage, sweating in the 98-degree Texas heat. Carlos Quintanilla, an Un Día Sin Trump activist, calls to the crowd, “Nosotros vamos a votar!” Or, “We are going to vote!” Un Día Sin Trump, a group founded by the Latino Votes Project, held an antiDonald Trump rally Monday afternoon at Dallas City Hall. The group’s name in English means “A Day Without Trump” – a play on words based on the film “A Day Without a Mexican.” Almost 900 people accepted the event’s Facebook invitation. Francis Ollivera attended to show support for the Latino community. “We’re making a statement that hate isn’t going to get it done,” Ollivera said. “Putting everyone in a bundle doesn’t solve anything. He’s

using them as a scapegoat.” Trump has made headlines for his inflammatory statements about Latinos and Mexican immigration. The most infamous was during his June 16 presidential announcement speech. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” Un Día Sin Trump held its rally Monday to combat the announcement of a Trump campaign event in Dallas Sept. 14. Quintanilla told the crowd that they would bring Trump the “three r’s.” “Repudiate, reject, repugnant,” he said. “We repudiate, we reject and he’s repugnant!” The group also plans to protest outside Trump’s campaign event next week. Trump is currently the Republican front-runner, leading the primary race

by an average of 27.8 percent, according to Real Clear Politics. Becky Arredondo attended the anti-Trump rally to gain more support for the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton. “I’m hoping to get more people registered to vote,” Arrendondo said. “Latinos don’t get very involved. We need to stand up and have candidates respect us.” Historically, Latino voter turnout has been relatively low in the U.S. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 39 percent of the Texas Latino population voted in the 2012 election. Meanwhile, 61 percent of the white population voted. Getting out the vote was a main theme of Monday’s political rally. Several speakers encouraged participants to vote against Trump. “We’re going to fight you,” Quintanilla said. “Donald Trump, we’re here, we’re not going anywhere. We’re here to fight.”

America Attacked

SMU, nation came together in crisis The following ran as an Editorial Board piece in The Daily Campus Sept. 12, 2001 Yesterday morning, SMU students woke up to the news reports of what Chris Yates, an aviation expert at Jane’s Transport in London, called “the most audacious terrorist attack that’s ever taken place in the world.” At the time of this writing, many students, faculty and staff are still trying to work through feelings of shock and outrage at what happened. It is unlikely that even at the time this editorial is printed, anybody will be willing to answer the question that is on everybody’s mind: “How could this have happened to us, in what we thought was the strongest and best defended country in the world?” Despite what was talked about in those few classes that were held Tuesday — that worse things have happened and are happening in other countries, that American defense money has been spent improperly, that this is Pearl

Harbor all over again — what we are most scared about is how insecure our little world is against these faceless enemies. But fear is what these enemies want, and nobody should give them that satisfaction. We must send a message of strength to the world by not panicking or hating. Many have expressed a fear that Muslims at SMU and in the United States will be ostracized and condemned because of speculation that Osama bin Laden is behind the attacks. The very fact that the attacks were done out of prejudice should make it clear that prejudice is not the answer. Instead of attacking each other, we must work together to rebuild our national security. We citizens of the United States must start our airports running again, open our borders and revive our shattered economy. Most of all, we need to spend our energy helping the living and the wounded, and rebuilding the cities and the citizens of New York and Manhattan. Much of the United States has already responded to

this call, through volunteering and massive blood drives. Many volunteers have even laid down their lives trying to save victims; such selfless acts should inspire us all to greater heights of service to our country and our fellow Americans. SMU’s administration has been very responsive to helping its students, faculty and staff through this terrible time. The campus showed up in great numbers for the rallyaround-the-flagpole yesterday afternoon and the memorial service last night. At 11:30 a.m. today, Perkins Chapel will sponsor a university-wide worship service, and

an open discussion of yesterday’s events will be held at 3 p.m. in the second floor conference room of the SMU Memorial Health Center. The editorial board wants the administration to know how much everyone appreciates these chances to come together as a university community to pray and memorialize. While these terrorists may have taken away our sense of security for one harrowing morning, we as a nation still have our freedom, symbolized by our beautiful starspangled flag. And nothing will ever take that away.

SMU CW, NT Daily staff predict this week’s showdown It’s no secret that SMU was completely embarrassed by UNT last season. However, much has changed in a year from the Mustangs perspective. Chad Morris replaced June Jones at the helm, hoping to revive the storied SMU program. The first game against Baylor, despite the loss, showed that he has brought a new attitude to this team. Matt Davis is finally the starting quarterback in an offense that suits his talents well and will allow him to play freely. He has an emerging deep threat in Courtland Sutton to go along with a versatile backfield that will help put points on the board. Without the distraction that was the quarterback carousel of 2014, the SMU offense is more focused and

will be far more productive. The Baylor game showed that this offense is significantly better than it was a year ago. They put up more points in one half than they did in almost two months last season. Defense isn’t a strength on either side so I’m taking the Mustangs this week in a shootout. PREDICTION: SMU 42 - UNT 34

— Brian O’Donnell SMU CW Sports Editor SMU has done a complete 180 since last year’s debacle in Denton. That sounds like a silly thing to say after last week’s loss to Baylor, but SMU proved that it could keep pace with one of the nation’s best for the good part of three quarters. Even though no one cares

for moral victories, hanging with Baylor gave SMU confidence. SMU has a bad taste in its mouth about every game from last season, but this one means a little more. On the field, SMU is bigger and faster than it was a year ago, and I don’t think the Mean Green will be able to match the tempo and improved speed and strength. SMU gave away last year’s game with three self-inflicted first-half turnovers and poor special teams play. I don’t expect either of those to be an issue this year. And last of all, I just don’t think UNT is all that good or explosive enough to match the Mustangs. SMU jumps out to an early lead and rolls in front of another good home crowd. PREDICTION: SMU 31 - UNT 14

— Patrick Engel SMU CW Sports Staff Writer

It’s been a long 287 days since the Mean Green have played a meaningful football game, and everyone from head coach Dan McCarney to the water boys is amped and ready to see a team opposite of them that wears something other than green and white. North Texas is returning only one offensive lineman from what was arguably its strongest position group last season. They lost the heart of their defense, linebacker Derek Akunne. They also lost the brain of their defense, losing defensive coordinator John Skladany. North Texas recruited a handful of quality JUCO transfers on the defensive side of the ball that are poised to make an immediate impact. A steady hand seems to be firmly planted at quarterback after a tumultuous 2014 that consisted of three different starters and the furthest

thing from consistency. While the Mustangs have some sense of satisfaction, albeit small, after hanging with Baylor throughout the first half last weekend, the Mean Green has been itching to wash a sour taste out of its mouth for nearly 300 days. PREDICTION: UNT 26 - UNT 24

— Scott Sidway North Texas Daily Sports Editor Here are a few things I expect to see: A fired up team: They talked about having a countdown clock in the locker room and have agonized about how slowly the days have ticked by. Couple that with Sam Rice’s SMU homecoming and the fact that this is a rivalry game, I expect to see plenty of hype and possibly some mistakes stemming from all the adrenaline. A new look offense: UNT finished

2014 at 4-8 and struggled mightily at quarterback. Nevertheless, they seem to have their man in senior Andrew McNulty. A younger, less experienced defense: Defensive coordinator John Skladany retired this offseason and Chris Cosh was brought in. With guys like Derek Akunne gone, you have to wonder if UNT will struggle on this side of the ball. I may go to school at UNT, but I’m a realist before an optimist and I’m certainly not a homer. SMU was bad last year. But they have a new coach and new leadership. And after seeing SMU hang with No. 4 Baylor for the entire first half last week, I shudder to think what North Texas’ sometimes anemic offense will do. Can’t wait to see the feedback this gets on campus, but I’ll go with the Ponies. PREDICTION: SMU 27 - UNT 17

Messi, Argentina visit SMU BRIAN O’DONNELL Sports Editor bodonnell@smu.edu The world’s most famous soccer player, Lionel Messi, was at SMU Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. He partook in the Argentina national team’s preparations for its game against Mexico. Argentina, one of the world’s best teams, was runner-up to Germany at the 2014 FIFA World Cup last summer. Its roster features some of the top players in the world, including Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Angel Di Maria, Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano, Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero, Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain, Boca Juniors forward Carlos Tevez, and of course, Barcelona forward

SMU student-athletes were invited to watch the practice from the stands at Westcott Field, while hundreds lined the fence to watch the superstars practice, chanting and singing as soccer fans famously do. “It was pretty impressive to see them practicing. It was a great experience,” senior Freddy Edoukou said. “It’s exciting to watch his [Messi’s] tricks with the ball,”

first-year Andrew Fisher said. All in all, it was a thrilling and memorable experience for the fans. Argentina defeated Bolivia 7-0 Sept. 4 in Houston in a dominating performance that included a hat trick by Messi. They managed to play to a 2-2 draw on Tuesday against Mexico in Arlington despite being down 2-0 with less than 10 minutes to go. Back to back late goals by Aguero (85’) and Messi (89’) prevented a loss.

SMU volleyball wins Lobo Classic PATRICK ENGEL Sports Staff Writer pengel@smu.edu SMU volleyball ousted New Mexico in a tough fiveset match to win the Lobo Classic in Albuquerque, N.M. Sept. 6. The Mustangs jumped out to a two-set lead, but the Lobos fought back to tie it at two apiece. SMU won the final set 18-16 to take the match and championship. Junior Janelle Giordano was named tournament MVP with 14 kills and four blocks in the final match. Seniors Avery Acker and Caitlin Bula were also named to the all-tournament team. The Mustangs were a perfect 3-0 in the tournament, sweeping Cal State Fullerton three sets to none in the opening round

and defeating Santa Clara 3-1 the next day. Acker recorded her 3,000th career assist in the opening-round win. She finished the match with 35 assists. Senior Abbey Bybel had eight assists and eight digs. Junior Morgan Heise added 15 digs. SMU and Santa Clara traded wins in the first two sets, but the Mustangs won the next two sets (25-18 and

25-22) to take the match. Giordano and Bula had 13 kills each. Bybel finished just shy of a double-double, with nine kills and 12 digs. Next up for the Mustangs, who are now 5-1 to start the season, is the Santa Barbara Invitational Sept. 11-12. The first match is against UC Santa Barbara Friday at 9 p.m. SMU will also play San Diego and UCLA Saturday.

Celebrities shock in show-stopping looks at the 2015 VMAs EMILY WARD Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) were chock-full of fierce fashion. From show stopping looks to downright outrageous outfits, this year’s style was just as captivating as the many performances. Taylor Swift, who was one of the event’s most-nominated artists, did not disappoint. She not only debuted her “Wildest Dreams” music video (which has over 38 million views in just over one week) but also dressed to impress with her entire girl squad in tow.

chunky black platforms. In keeping with the best-dressed Disney alumna appearances, Vanessa Hudgens wowed in a rosy ethereal look that can only be described as total boho chic princess. Her light pink organza gown with a deep-V neckline and allover crystal floral appliqué by Naeem Khan was simply stunning. Hudgens told ET (who described the star’s style as Coachella couture), “I was like music, what do I love about music? I love going to festivals! How would I dress if I could go to a festival and be the ultra-glam version of myself ? So it’s bohemian.”

Swift went edgy in dark eyeliner and shadow.

Taking a departure from her usual girlyglam, the starlet rocked a sequined houndstooth crop top and matching high-waisted pants by Ashish. Dramatic and dark winged eyeliner and metallic shadow paired with side swept bangs in a low ponytail completed her edgy ensemble.

SMU Campus Weekly celebrates 100 years of publication JACQUELYN ELIAS Layout/Graphics Editor jelias@smu.edu Ed Fulton, member of the first SMU graduating Class of 1915, had much to look forward to at the start of the school year in September 1915. He had just transferred to a new university; he was being offered a new start. In fact, he was not just being offered a new start, he was being offered the opportunity to pave the way for the first graduating class of SMU attending the opening of classes Sept. 24, 1915. However, Fulton tackled another responsibility other than studying. He undertook the responsibility of publishing the first three editions of SMU’s student newspaper, which was first named the S.M.U. Times. Before the majority of students even moved onto campus, Fulton released the first edition

Sept. 11, 1915 and passed the responsibility of editing to W. Harrison Baker in four editions. Baker wrote in the fourth edition of the S.M.U. Times, “Our commission comes from the student body — it is their paper.” Started by Fulton and Baker a century ago, the SMU Campus Weekly continues this mission of informing the student body. On Sept. 11, 2015, the publication celebrates its 100th year anniversary of its print edition. As expected by any longstanding publication, the SMU Campus Weekly has gone through numerous changes and shifts in leadership. The name itself has changed numerous times to titles such as The Campus, The Semi-Weekly Campus, The SMU Campus and, most recently, The Daily Campus. Depending on the needs of the publication to fit stories and advertisements,

the SMU Campus Weekly has also frequently increased and decreased the frequency of papers printed in a week. In addition to printing changes to the paper, changing times define the direction of the paper. Len Faseler was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper from 1962-1963 in the midst of the Vietnam War. “It was very much an agitated campus that year… some of the discussions inside the newsroom were more political. It was exciting for some of the people who were there,” Faseler said. Technology over the past 100 years has changed the way the paper is produced. Before digital layout software, staff members printed the paper by cutting the stories and photos and pasting them onto the layouts. “The final product was what was on the stands in the morning. It was exciting

because you could never have a perfect paper and you always wanted to make a perfect paper for the next day,” said Dr. Beverly Martindale Horvit, editor-in-chief from 1988-1989. The introduction of computers, however, revolutionized the newsroom. In 1989, SMU Student Media welcomed the first batch of Apple products into the newsroom. “The things that we struggled with back then were photography….but now people can take them with their iPhones,” said Kristin Sullivan, editor-in-chief from 1989-1990. Despite the transitions the newspaper has taken, the SMU Campus Weekly has maintained some defining characteristics throughout the century. “It always has been and remains the independent voice of the students at SMU. There is no administrative or faculty

control. Students have always been self-starters and motivated to produce campus news to the best of their ability,” said Carolyn Barta, professor of practice in the SMU Journalism School. The SMU Campus Weekly also defines itself by tailoring its stories to its SMU audience. “You aren’t reporting just on issues facing Dallas at large, even though Dallas comes into it, you focus on SMU,” said Jessica Huseman, editor-inchief in 2010. “That level of attention allows you to hone your reporting in a way that isn’t possible in other publications.” This constant attention to reaching its audience comes at a price. “My first thought is how did everyone pass their classes. Because everyone was there all the time it felt like a full-time job,” Horvit said. By teaching these work

ethics, the SMU Campus Weekly prepares aspiring journalists. “I got several internships at publications while I was in Dallas. I think The Daily Campus was more valuable because it was the only opportunity where students can get leadership in the newsroom and run the paper. Running the paper is inherently valuable,” Huseman said. While the SMU Campus Weekly celebrates the success of a century of printed editions, some challenge the accomplishment by questioning the necessity of news in print due to the digitization of the news. “I do think there is value in a print edition...But focus must be on a digital-first news product, because that’s the way people get their news today and that’s where jobs are going to be available for aspiring journalists,” Barta said.

Bay Area band SWMRS release debut single RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Bay Area quartet SWMRS released its longanticipated debut single Sept. 8. Comprised of four friends, SWMRS is a punk rock band that recently gained notoriety for its 17-minute-long epic “Like Harry Dean Stanton.” Having been commissioned to write the soundtrack to a fashion show by Hedi Slimane, Saint Laurent Paris’ creative director, the band got together and, with the help of “several 40 oz. bottles of malt liquor,” they put together a 17-minute punk ballad that turned heads across the fashion world. After this blazing introduction, the group got to work on its first album. They returned to their home of Oakland, Calif. and started on their first single, “Miley.” Described as “the most punk tribute to Miley Cyrus ever,” SWMRS has put together one of the most raw and genuine punk songs of recent memory. A dying art, punk rock has few modern influences, relying on the classic artists such as The Ramones or The Sex Pistols. SWMRS clearly has been influenced by these artists, as its sound is a trip back to the time when it was cool to wear all black, have messy haircuts and fight authority. Front man Cole Becker

gave his insight to the song’s inspiration. “I was trying to explore my relationship to Miley Cyrus as this person who has been a presence in my life since I was really young. I feel like I grew up with her,” Becker said in a press release. Becker’s chorus claims Cyrus is a “punk rock queen.” “I think it’s just the fact that she does exactly what she wants. I think it’s really rare to see somebody doing that. She’s a business commodity, but seems to have maintained a lot of creative autonomy, which I think is super punk rock,” he said. “And the fact that she’s standing up for sexual freedom and gender fluidity — I think that’s really important, and something that not a lot of pop stars are doing.” The band is made up of Cole Becker (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Max Becker (lead vocals, lead guitar), Joey Armstrong (drums, backing vocals), and Sebastian Mueller

(bass, backing vocals). The group got together after a failed project entitled, “Emily’s Army” and burst onto the scene earlier this year. Although they have only recently cemented themselves as a genuine musical act worthy of a listen, their origins can be traced back to when Becker and Armstrong decided to start a band after seeing the Jack Black film, “School of Rock” at 8 years old. While this is the band’s first full album, Becker and Armstrong both released a pair of full-length records and multiple EP’s before graduating high school. The two are used to success, as they have previously toured the country and performed at various festivals across the world. SWMRS is currently on a U.S. tour and will be in Dallas Sept. 19. The band’s new single is available on iTunes under its label, “Uncool.”

WELD studio hosts new exhibit CLARA LANE Assoc. A&L: Entertainment claral@smu.edu Opening Sept. 11, the work of adventure photographers Doug Klemabara, John Dale and Sean Berry will be on display in their collaborative exhibit, “An Icelandic Experience.” Held in the northwest Dallas art collaboration studio WELD, the trio’s photographs from their recent March excursion across the Nordic country will be featured alongside the art of Icelandic illustrator Ran Flyngering. Klembara, a world traveler whose work has been published in ABC News and Texas Monthly. “Out of all of the countries I’ve visited, Iceland is the

most uniquely striking and geographically diverse place I’ve witnessed. We’ve worked hard to bring a lot of Iceland back to Dallas for the show,” she said in a press release. Berry, a Texas A&M graduate from and a resident of Dallas, works all over the country with clients like Rolling Stone and Billboard. com, but also within the Dallas community photographing for the Dallas Stars. Dale, originally from Boulder, Colo., specializes in adventure photography and filmmaking, while also creating images for brands and athletes. All three of these artists worked together at the WELD studio in Dallas to put together this exhibit of the breathtaking landscape of

remote Iceland. Established as a creative space specifically for artistic collaborations, studio director Austin Mann recently opened a second WELD location in Nashville, Tenn. Mann hopes of empowering young artists. “I just wanted them to go out and make it their own. Lots of people say that but we actually wanted to do it. This is their space and you’ll see their fingerprints all over the walls,” Mann said in a press release. The free gallery event will be held 7 p.m. Friday. To top off the night, the Icelandic craft beer Einstok, which is brewed just 60 miles outside of the Arctic circle, will be available for attendees.

For the weeks leading up to the Boulevard on Friday, students had been buzzing about the “new rules.” But what are these new rules exactly? Rumors swirled about clear bags, cops, no cups and security. Nobody was quite sure where the new rules were posted, or even if they had been. Ask anybody and they shrug their shoulders and say, “Maybe it was in an email?” Walking onto the Boulevard didn’t make me feel better. Every time I turned around I felt like there was a cop looking over my shoulder and I was lost in the mayhem of the crowd. But more than anything, I was confused about where to go and where to find my friends. I am a member of a Panhellenic sorority and so are most of my friends. Everyone I have talked to says that his or

In the previous years, sororities and fraternities would pair up for the Boulevard. This gave the chapters a way to mingle and build new friendships. That tradition has been done away with and now only fraternities can have tents. This is supposed to encourage more intermingling among all students. There also was supposed to be

a Panhellenic tent, where women of all the Panhellenic sororities could go. Most people could not even find the Panhellenic tent, either due to the location of the tent or how crowded the Boulevard was. I intended to go, mainly because I knew they would have Chick-fil-A, but couldn’t see anything through the masses of unorganized people. If upperclassmen are confused, I can’t imagine how first-year feel. Dallas Hall lawn looked like a mob scene. Trying

to find your first week friends from your residential commons would be almost impossible. At previous Boulevards I was able to bump into tons of friends because I knew where to find them. The changes to the Boulevard made it hard to find anyone because I didn’t know where they would be. Without a tent, it felt like sorority women had no home base. Walking up to the stadium for the game I was engulfed in a sea of green and gold. Thankfully it was a white out so I could follow the little crowd of loyal Mustangs as they attempted to go to the game. But where was the student gate? I couldn’t understand why crowds of SMU fans were walking away from Ford Stadium; until I realized that they couldn’t find the one student gate on the very edge of the stadium. Maybe there was another email about that change; I must have deleted it along with all the other SMU students who gave up and headed to Barley House. After getting into the stadium, which only took pushing past the mob of lanyard-wielding first-year, I was shocked to see no clear bags. Where were all the clear bags? All week we had been hearing people complain about these notorious clear bags. Girls were upset that their Louis Vuitton’s were going to be replaced and people were in an uproar over how absurd the rule was. I went to the game and I saw less than a handful of clear bags. The one rule that was publicized affected almost no one. After watching our Mustangs fall to the Baylor Bears, then listening to the Baylor band play over ours during the singing of The Varsity, I left feeling glum. I was disappointed for our Mustangs and sad about the struggle on the Boulevard. More than anything, I just walked away from my experience Friday confused.
