DG, AKA co-host ‘Red, White & SMU’ to remember 9/11 OLIVIA NGUYEN Managing Editor qonguyen@smu.edu On Friday at 7:30 p.m. SMU students, faculty, veterans and first responders gathered at the New Commons courtyard to celebrate the new football season and remember 9/11. Attendants lined up for food and drinks while music blasted throughout the pavilion. Faculty members socialized by decorated dining tables while students mingled, threw footballs and played tailgate games provided by the hosts. The event, “Red, White & SMU” is co-hosted by Panhellenic sorority Delta Gamma and National Panhellenic Council sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha. It is the first time the two Greek organizations have collaborated. Shelby Kehr, VP Panhellenic of Delta Gamma, says both parties reached out to each other to plan an event after months of trying to join forces. “We’ve been in relationship with AKA for a while,” Kehr said. “Last semester we wanted to do something with them but didn’t have the opportunity to; thus, we took this one.” Kehr says the idea started out as a pep rally for the SMU-UNT football game until the group realized it fell on Sept. 11. The event then evolved to “Red, White & SMU,” wearing school colors to excite the community for game day on Sept. 12 and to show patriotism to remember 9/11. Layla Gulley, president of Alpha Kappa Alpha, said to show respect and recollect on 9/11, the group asked members of the Military Veterans Society and first responders to come honor their service. President Turner also was invited to make a speech to remember this day. “We have veterans here and some SMU police officers– everyone who’s on shift right now we’ve asked them to come over,” Gulley said. “We are also going to have a moment of silence after President Turner arrives.” President Turner arrived on schedule, shaking hands with veterans and first responders.

He gave a short speech reflecting on 9/11, and acknowledging how people still grieve for the almost 3,000 victims, 14 years later. Turner saud it’s important to reflect and remember 9/11. “We have military and first responders who, on numerous occasions, have been under fire by terrorists,” Turner said. “So it’s just good once a year, if not more, to say we remember them, we remember the grief of their families, and we really are thankful for those who serve in the military and who work as firemen, policemen and women to help protect us.” After his speech, a moment of silence was observed. Over 200 attendants closed their eyes and bowed their heads. President Turner said a short prayer before restarting the event. Turner thanked the veterans and first responders for coming, prompting the crowd to applause as gratitude for their service. Robert Nelson, student, veteran and president of the Military Veterans Society, commented on the event and how he felt as an honored guest when asked to come during the remembrance of 9/11. “I was very moved about their passionate ideology towards what had happened,” Nelson said. “It made me feel closer to SMU. I was very touched they asked us to come out.” He says SMU has made him feel welcome ever since his arrival in 2013 and continues to do so. “It made me think about how SMU goes above and beyond in everything they do for their students and the community,” Nelson said. “The camaraderie at SMU easily surpasses everywhere I’ve been.”

SMU drops to 61st place in the most recent U.S. News & World Report’s ‘Best Colleges’ List.
SMU falls slightly in U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 ‘Best Colleges’ CHRISTINA COX & OLIVIA MARCUS Co-writers clcox@smu.edu SMU dropped from 58th to 61st in the 2016 U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges Report.” Only two other Texas universities placed above SMU in the rankings, with Rice University at No. 18 and University of Texas at Austin at No. 52. Texas A&M, Baylor and TCU followed at No. 70, No. 72 and No. 82 respectively. The report, published Sept. 9 ranks 1,800 U.S. colleges on 16 different academic criteria. The exact formula for the rankings is kept secret. Despite SMU’s slight decline in rankings, administrators seem positive about this year’s results. “We are pleased once again to be among the top one-third of the top tier of national universities,” said Wes Waggoner, interim associate vice president for enrollment management. “That is a position that many, many colleges aspire to be in.” Waggoner said SMU
will look at the U.S. News & World Report rankings to see if there is anything the university can learn from the results. Hilary McIlvain, director of BBA Admissions, believes the rankings are reputational and could be biased because of the interviews the news source conducts with deans and presidents. “SMU has had a lot of momentum and in the end this is not a good indicator,” McIlvain said. “Rankings don’t bring together all the information…they don’t cover every detail.” Junior John Schweitzer sees the rankings as “insignificant,” stating that there should be a correlation between SMU’s increasing tuition and rankings. “I read an article that we are in the top 20 most expensive schools, so shouldn’t that mean we should be in the top academic schools too?” he said. This is a question SMU is attempting to tackle with its Operational Excellence for the Second Century (OE2C) initiative that is working to “strengthen the economic vitality of SMU” while pursuing an overall,
administrative goal of making SMU a “Top 50 University.” Waggoner said OE2C still positions SMU as a stronger university by providing support for its academic programs. “In that sense, the longterm results from OE2C will certainly support the goal of making SMU one of the premier academic institutions in the United States,” he said. Waggoner also noted that the results released this year are based on data from the 2013-2014 academic year. “It’ll just take longer than a year, I think the rankings will eventually go up,” senior Emma Blackwood said. “You can’t just move up to the top 50, it takes some time.” It will be interesting to see where SMU will place in the upcoming years as the OE2C Initiative reaches its final stages this spring. Until then, staff and administrators are realistic about the future and challenge before them. “Schools in the top 50 are also doing very well so there isn’t a lot of movement or room to fit in,” McIlvain said. “SMU has great momentum, but each move up will get tougher.”

Remembering 100 years of Mustang football history NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu SMU’s Faculty Club met Tuesday to listen to Jim Kirby speak on the history of SMU football. His lecture was titled, “The Not So Good Old Days at SMU,” and was based on a paper Kirby researched and wrote for the centennial celebration. Kirby’s lecture outlined SMU’s history from the start, giving details on Ray Morrison, SMU’s first foorball coach, and the early history of the Mustangs. Coach Morrison was credited with making the first oval-shaped football and also brought about SMU’s first rule violation in 1922 – a recruiting violation. Kirby went on to describe the glory days of both SMU football and its not-so-glory days of violations. During the time of Doak Walker, SMU football games reached an average attendance of 60,000 people, leading to the expansion of the Cotton Bowl. But shortly after the golden days of Doak, SMU started paying its football players, according to Kirby. From 1958 to the 1980s, a powerful group

of boosters, high up in SMU’s leadership, pooled funds and paid players to come and play on SMU’s football team, according to Kirby. Kirby said tens of thousands of dollars were paid to some players, enormous sums at the time, and cars were even given out to certain recruits. While these paid players did bring victory to SMU on the field, they also eventually brought about the harshest penalty that any school has ever received under the NCAA. Due to the numerous violations of paying players, in 1987 SMU’s football team had its entire schedule cancelled, numerous scholarships were lost and many other penalties were imposed. This penalty essentially
killed SMU’s football program and resulted in investigations, including but not limited to prostitution accusations and grade manipulation, according to Kirby. Kirby said following the death penalty, students were selling shirts on the Dallas Hall lawn which said “Get paid, laid, and a passing grade – Only at SMU.” While a moment of embarrassment for the university, the death penalty also had further reaching implications. In a discussion section at the end of the lecture, one attendee charged that “the academics of SMU have not flourished because of the need to subsidize athletic endeavors” in the wake of the death penalty. Kirby himself stated that the “NCAA was not aware” of the effect that the death penalty would have on the university and that the total cost of those sanctions cannot be measured. SMU’s football team has had an “unbridled – as in out of control” history, as Kirby joked in his opening remarks, but this history is certainly a significant part of SMU’s century of existence.

SMU Career Fair goes mobile JENN D’AGOSTINO Contributing Writer jdagostino@smu.edu The Hegi Career Center hosted their first career fair Sept. 15. It was open to students of all classes and all majors. In the past, students oftentimes had trouble preparing for and navigating the event. But this year, the Career Center had good news…there’s an app for that. The SMU Career Fair app had everything from a fair map to real-time updates and announcements to help students stay
updated and find their way around the fair. Students who download the app prior to the event were ab;e tp see a complete list of attending employers and read tips to help students prepare for the day. “I think that the app could be really helpful to some students who want to go to the career fair, but find it intimidating,” first-year Terrance Alexander said. The app will be updated for the next career fair in February 2016. Download it for free on your iPhone, iPad or Android by searching “SMU Career Fair Plus” in the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store.
A recap of this week’s SMU Student Senate meeting OLIVIA MARCUS Contributing Writer omarcus@smu.edu It didn’t take long for the Student Senate meeting to heat up Tuesday afternoon in Hughes-Trigg Student Center. When the RECESS entrepreneurship pitch came to the podium, there was a notable change in the room. RECESS is a company that holds entrepreneurship competitions on college campuses to find students who have creative and unique ideas. Senator Chase Harker presented the pitch for his third
time in front of the council, hoping it would be his last. His request was $1,000 to host the event. That’s when the tables turned. There seemed to be a general consensus among the 42 senators in attendance that the event seemed very unorganized and unreliable. In the end, Harker was able to clear up the miscommunication by offering proof of conversations with supporters and the pitch went to a vote. “The goal of the company is just to make money, they aren’t looking to help
students,” said Chris Warley, a senior senator. The pitch did not pass, with a vote of 23 “nay” and 19 “aye,” one of the closest votes most senators have seen during their time on the council. On a happier “vote,” all new members were voted and inaugurated into the council. “I joined to meet more people and to represent Meadows and transfer students,” said Madisen Reid, a transfer sophomore senator. The new senators recited their inaugural pledge with enthusiasm and took to their new senate seats.

A STORY OF FAITH Chaplain and U.S. Army Captain Kimberly Hall, an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, has not only had her life changed by her work within civilian ministry, but also by a surprising call to work with Army Soldiers. Originally, life as a minister was not a part of her plans. But after a lot of soul searching, Chaplain Hall eventually heeded God’s call to work in and pursue the path of ministry. She served her community for ten years as both an associate and senior pastor, but then found herself answering yet another call, one that led to the U.S. Army.
ANSWERING A CALL OF NEED After three separate encounters with Army chaplains, each trying to convince then Pastor Hall to join, she realized working with the Army might be a new path God had designed for her. While the call to serve in the Army was unexpected, she does not regret changing her life once again.
CAPT. KIMBERLY HALL U.S. ARMY CHAPLAIN
Her choice was not only one of faith, but also one that helps fill an important need within the Army. As the number of clergywomen in the civilian world continues to expand, more women are joining the military as chaplains. Chaplain Hall not only helps fill a need within the Army, she represents a growing voice within all faiths.
“The most rewarding experience is seeing solid transformation occur in Soldiers’ lives that range anywhere from relationship healing, to baptisms and just simply journeying with them and pointing them to the light at the end of the tunnel and having them grasp it. That is a joy!”
THE WORK OF FAITH
SERVING SOLDIERS
Just like her life, her work with the Army hasn’t been predictable. But Chaplain Hall has already made an impact on the Soldiers she serves.
“Our motto in the Chaplain Corps is ‘Pro Deo et Patria.’ It derives from the Latin, which means ‘For God and Country.’ Putting on this uniform, I have a unique opportunity to do great work in caring for the souls of Soldiers. … The motto I personally live by as a chaplain is this: ‘I am here to serve and not to be served.’”
“My chaplain assistant and I executed and implemented ‘Operation Smile,’ a series of events designed to boost the morale and spirits of the Soldiers and the civilians under our care. Our [most successful event] was when we stood out in the early morning hours holding colorful homemade signs that simply read, ‘Have a Beautiful Day!’ We would wave and smile at all incoming cars that came on to the Army post. As it turns out, we made an indelible impact by this simple act of cheer.“ With a blend of traditional and non-traditional work, it is easy to see why each of Chaplain Hall’s days are different. And while she always has a lot to do, Chaplain Hall finds that her work with Soldiers is worth the effort that it takes.
Ultimately, the work she and the other chaplains do each day helps take care of Soldiers’ hearts and minds. And Chaplain Hall’s experiences in the Army have helped to solidify her own faith as well. “Living this Army life has further cemented my belief that God has not and will not fail or forsake me. My ultimate faith lesson in all of this is to trust God and to not be afraid.” If you feel the call to serve with the Army Chaplain Corps by serving Soldiers as a chaplain in the U.S. Army, visit goarmy.com/au33

“In the first few months [of] wearing this new ‘hat’ as an Army chaplain, it felt very surreal. I kept looking at my uniform and my surroundings and saying to myself, ‘Wow!’”

Editor ranks AAC logos PATRICK ENGEL Sports Staff Writer pengel@smu.edu As you’re glued to your television or watching in the stands, you can’t help but notice some football teams have awesome logos and others do not. The American Athletic Conference is no exception. As you watch SMU football this season, you’ll wonder what exactly that thing is on Navy’s helmets and laugh at Cincinnati’s cheap-looking logo. To save you some trouble, we ranked the AAC teams’ logos from worst to best. 12. Houston Cougars
*Yawns*
team plays in a city below sealevel just doesn’t sound like a great idea. 8. Central Florida Knights
4. Memphis Tigers It’s an original logo, but knights are from Medieval Europe. Medieval Europe and college sports are completely unrelated. 7. Navy Midshipmen Something cool: That’s an awesome animal. Something not as cool: We don’t really know what kind of animal it is. Something very un-cool: That animal doesn’t belong on a ship.
11. Cincinnati Bearcats
6. South Florida Bulls
A red line and a “C” with four claws simply thrown on top of it? Lame. But the bigger question is, “What’s a Bearcat?”
Florida college teams have some strange obsession with using the letter “U” in their logos. But unlike the University of Miami, South Florida’s “U”-based logo is a little more complex and doesn’t look like a hockey stick next to a backwards hockey stick. It may look like just a “U” with horns, but the “U” bows in a little bit to make it look like a Bull’s head.
10. Tulsa Golden Hurricane You could really do something cool with the name “Golden Hurricane.” Two red flags is underwhelming. I see what Tulsa tried to do: two red flags with the black square is a hurricane warning sign. Last time I checked, Tulsa isn’t close to a coast or hurricane territory. 9. Tulane Green Wave Including “wave” in a team name and logo when that
Props to Temple for getting the general emotion of an owl right and making this one look like it’s screeching.
5. Temple Owls Lots of teams with bird logos make them mean looking for no good reason. For example, Cardinals are supposed to be graceful birds. Nothing about the Louisville or Arizona Cardinals’ logo looks graceful. Owls are supposed to be a little angry and loud.
This might be the most detailed tiger logo for any team. It has the tail, sharp eyes, full body, outstretched arms and all. It looks fierce, but don’t worry, the tiger is trying to eat Josh Pastner, not you. 3. Connecticut Huskies Who doesn’t like dogs? This is hands down the freshest logo for any team nicknamed the Huskies. 2. Southern Mustangs
Methodist
Who else can say that their logo inspired a famous car? It’s not copyright infringement because Peruna runs right while the Ford Mustang runs left. If it secretly is copyright infringement, SMU finally figured out how to cheat and get away with it. Yay! 1. East Carolina Pirates A picture of Edward Teach is a pretty awesome way to scare your opponent. With the earring, tricornered hat, eyepatch and crossbones, this is my favorite of the AAC logos. Plus, few college teams ave the guts to go purple. In my book, you get extra points for purple.

SMU, TCU staffers square off on Battle for Iron Skillet When the SMU Mustangs take the field against the TCU Horned Frogs this Saturday night in Fort Worth, the two teams will begin the 95th chapter in this historic rivalry. TCU manhandled SMU last year, beating them 56-0 and putting up over 600 yards of offense. Then again, SMU was manhandled by a lot of their opponents last year, including a UNT team that they defeated handily Saturday night. It’s no secret that the Mustangs are a significantly improved team under Chad Morris. The offense is moving the chains, using the clock, and putting up points. Quarterback Matt Davis is looking comfortable, playing freely, and making good decisions. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton is shaping up to be a valuable deep threat and scorer. Running back Xavier Jones is making the running game better with his speed and ability to catch and run. The defense is showing character and fight and was able to hold Baylor scoreless for almost two quarters in the opener. That being said, the Horned Frogs haven’t changed much since last year. They still have one of the nation’s best

offenses and are deserving favorites to make the college football playoff this year. TCU’s defense has some gaps that the Mustangs might be able to take advantage of, but Trevone Boykin and company are almost impossible to stop. SMU’s offense, despite its improvement, can’t keep up in a shootout. The Battle for the Iron Skillet has produced some great games and some surprising upsets in its storied history. Though SMU fans are trying to be positive and an upset would be one of the biggest stories of the year, it is just not going to
happen. Against Baylor, SMU had the element of surprise. This week, that is not the case. TCU sees SMU coming and they will be ready. It won’t be a shutout this year but TCU will win in dominant fashion, emerging unfazed on their quest for a national championship. SMU will head back to the Hilltop looking forward to American Athletic Conference play and happy to have two top-five teams behind them.

SMU has already faced a fastpaced offense in Baylor this season, but TCU and Baylor aren’t exactly alike. Both are fast, but Baylor features a lot of run/pass reads, while TCU features zone-read runs and spreads the offense out to throw. This forces the defense to make tackles in space against its athletic wide receivers and running backs. How will SMU try to stop it?

Last year, we saw TCU run SMU out of the stadium and show the astounding gap between the two programs in athletic ability and speed. Since that 56-0 loss, SMU has gotten bigger, faster and more athletic, thanks to Strength and Conditioning Coach Trumain Carroll. But that’s not to say SMU is as fast or athletic as TCU. TCU still has a track team of skill position players and an athletic quarterback who makes plays with his arm and his legs.
of effort. The Horned Frogs are fast and athletic on defense as well. Defensive-minded head coach Gary Patterson has a strong history of recruiting speedy offensive players and turning them into defensive playmakers. TCU’s defense lost two important seniors from 2014, linebacker Paul Dawson and cornerback Kevin White, four starters to injury, (at least two for the season) and one more for personal reasons. SMU will try to wear down a thinner TCU defense with its tempo. Even if SMU cuts out the mistakes it made against North Texas, I’m curious if quarterback Matt Davis can pick through TCU’s secondary. The Horned Frogs mix up a lot of man and zone coverage and make great coverage calls. I think SMU will give TCU a fight, but the Horned Frogs will prove too fast once again. This time, it will be a testament to TCU’s strength and not a national exposure of SMU’s weaknesses.

Only days remain before the TCU Football engages in its annual battle against its crosstown foes. When the Horned Frogs take on the Southern Methodist University Mustangs under the lights in Fort Worth Saturday night, a historic rivalry will be once again renewed. Combine a night game, an expected sellout crowd, and the Frogs sitting at No. 3 in the rankings, and Amon G. Carter Stadium will be quite the scene. TCU’s offense is hot, having put up 70 points against Stephen F. Austin last weekend. With leadership from quarterback Trevone Boykin, wide receivers Josh Doctson and Kolby Listenbee, and co-offensive coordinators Sonny Cumbie and Doug Meacham, the Frogs will be
eager to replicate their 56-0 blowout of SMU in 2014. The Frogs won’t be playing the same Mustang team that they utterly demolished in Dallas last September however. The Mustangs have come out revamped under the leadership of head coach Chad Morris in his first season with the team. SMU’s offense has noticeably taken a leap this season under Morris. His experience as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Clemson has paid off for the Mustangs thus far. Their 52 points in their first two games are more than they scored in their first seven games last season, and their fight against No. 5 Baylor early on was impressive. The Mustang’s defense is still sub-par, but the Frogs will
have their fair share of work cut out for them defensively too. Plagued by injuries and undisclosed absences to starters such as LBs Sammy Douglas and Mike Freeze, new faces will have to get the job done again, and that can be unnerving. When these two teams take the field with the rivalry they have though, anything can happen. We’ve seen blowouts, we’ve seen close ones, and we’ve seen upsets. I don’t see a shutout in this game with the offensive development of both teams. With a record setting offense and the crowd on their side though, I still expect the Frogs to come out on top, by a lot. PREDICTION: TCU 55 - SMU 21

Chris Brown concert wows Dallas crowd BRIDGET GRAF Contributing Writer bgraf@smu.edu “One Hell of a Nite” is the only phrase to accurately describe the fanfare that was Chris Brown’s concert in Dallas Thursday night. C. Breezy overshadowed his fellow acts — singer Fetty Wap and rappers Omarion and Kid Ink — at Gexa Energy Pavilion to a near packed house. The night started with an all-too-brief dose of VMA’s Best New Artist winner Fetty Wap. The Remy Boys crew member, known for his hit “Trap Queen,” rushed through a medley of his recent chart toppers: “679,” “My Way” and “Again.” Hopefully Fetty’s career is longer than his short-lived set. Speaking of long careers, Omarion took the stage next. The audience loved “Ice Box.” Many didn’t realize Omarion was popular enough to have Fetty Wap open for him. Joined on stage by DJ Band Camp, Omarion gave the crowd exactly what it wanted when he played “Post to Be,” featuring singer/songwriter Jhene Aiko and, the man of the hour and headliner, Chris Brown. After Omarion quizzed an uninterested crowd on his hits from a past life (a.k.a. 2005) and walked off stage with his dreams of a solo comeback tour dashed, Kid Ink was up. Kid Ink was the first glimpse of the potential for the audience to have “One Hell of a Nite,” as promised

Chris Brown wowed the crowd last Thursday.
by Live Nation. Kid Ink’s performance far outweighed Fetty and Omarion (dare I say it?) combined. Kid Ink was engaging and pretty hyphy, sporting a personalized Maverick’s jersey. He was born to be an opener for Chris Brown. The wait time between Kid Ink and Chris Brown felt like an eternity. Two tacos later, the sun had long set, and for a second, it seemed like C. Breezy had better things to do, like hang backstage with his three openers, countless hype men and choice groupies. But alas, the stars aligned and he arrived in style to one of his classics, “Run It.” Simultaneously singing, dancing, flying over flames onto the stage; what can’t Chris Brown do?! Flying! He followed with a medley of other classics (confession: every Chris Brown is a classic in my eyes): “(Yo) Excuse Me Miss,” “Poppin’,” and “Deuces.” A powerful crew of both male and female backup dancers joined Brown for most of the night, and Brown, an incredible dancer in his own right, took center stage with his music videos playing in the background. “I got a surprise for you,”
Brown said toward the show’s end, and he pulled rapper French Montana out of the eaves for a guest appearance. French was then followed by six hype men. French’s “Pop That” got the audience arguably more energized than Brown’s medley of sex anthems. French’s set included “Ocho Cinco,” “Off The Rip” and “Ain’t Worried About Nothin.” For a minute, audience members thought they were at a French Montana show and they weren’t mad about it. And then BOOM, Tyga appears out of thin air. Not quite the same energy as French, but nonetheless entertaining. Brown and Tyga performed their collaboration, “Ayo.” There was no guest appearance by Tyga’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner, but a girl can dream. Brown closed out the show with the 2014 hit, “Loyal.” No, Lil Wayne did not make a cameo. The audience wouldn’t have been physically able to handle it. They freaked out for Tyga,and Tyga isn’t even good. Chris Brown, however, is amazing. Thank you for “One Hell of a Nite.” You are welcome back to Dallas any time.

Inside the Class of 2019 LAUREN AGUIRRE Assignments Desk Editor lcaguirre@smu.edu Back in August, SMU welcomed its newest class – a total of 1,374 students. This class as a few interesting characters, including a 13-yearold and a set of quadruplets and several others who have accomplished a lot during their high school years. Colin Hughes is a firstyear, but he has already had his photos published in National Geographic. Over the summer, Hughes worked with a company called Shark Explorers, which produces stock footage of sharks and marine life. Hughes worked off the coast of South Africa to take pictures of sharks – mostly great whites. National Geographic, and other publications, then found Hughes’ photos through Shark Explorers and its partner Atlantic Edge films. Hughes said he was shocked to learn that big-name publications had picked up his photos. “It’s very cool,” Hughes said. “You get so much recognition.” He also described the process to

capture one of these photos. “It can take two hours just to get a decent photo. It’s absurd,” Hughes said. “You’re just waiting and watching for a long time before any action happens.” Hughes has gone cage diving to get his pictures, but he would rather free swim. He said he loves the thrill. “Seeing a shark up close like that was one of the scariest and coolest moments of my entire life,” Hughes said. “It was like staring down a school bus.” The Class of 2019 also has 21 Presidential Scholars and 32 members of SMU’s
football team. Maria Yienger is a member of the set of quadruplets attending SMU this year. Her siblings are Patrick, Teresa and Christopher. While for most students, quadruplets may seem like a novelty, Maria said for her and her siblings, it’s just a part of everyday life. “It’s normal to us,” she said. “We’re close. Our relationship is the same as any other sibling relationship, except we all happen to be the same age.” She added there were a couple quirks to having siblings so close in age. The Yiengers attended Plano
West High School. “In our math classes, sometimes my sister and I, we’d have the same class at different periods and we’d take the same test and end up with the same grade,” Maria said. “It totally wasn’t planned, but it was funny because we’d end up getting the same questions wrong in the same way.” According to Maria, all of the Yienger siblings are happy to be at SMU.

Introducing your 2015-2016 First-Year Student Senators EMILY WARD Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu Congratulations are in order for Student Senate’s most recent additions. The First-Year Senator election results were announced Friday, Sept. 11, and this year’s representatives will be Grant Hibbard, Gregory Guggenmos, Kencell Nixon, Nathan Devera and Pedro Aragone. The First-Year Senators will be inaugurated Tuesday, Sept. 15, during Student Senate’s weekly meeting. But in the meantime, check out what SMU’s newest senators had to say about their wins and what they are most excited about for the upcoming year. Grant Hibbard: “I am honored to be elected as a First-Year Senator and thrilled to be chosen to represent the SMU Class of 2019 in Student
Senate for the entire year! To be completely honest, I am still shocked I am one of the five candidates chosen. All of the candidates are wonderful people and I had no expectations of being selected. These past two weeks, I was given the chance to attend Student Senate Chamber Meetings and meet First-Year Senators and I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to work with a group of quality people who care about SMU and their fellow students. I’m happy to say it’s going to be an exciting year! I have no doubt that the FirstYear Senators will work hard to best represent this first-year class. The possibilities of what we can accomplish are endless and I’m hopeful that as a whole we will be able to leave a positive impact on SMU.” Gregory Guggenmos: “I am tremendously grateful for the support and enthusiasm
from all across campus. It’s an honor to be representing such great people! As to what I’m most excited about, the opportunity to start to work with other student leaders on problems around campus is what drew me to run in the first place. There seem to be a lot of opportunities to make SMU an even better place, and I get to work with a fantastic group of other first-years!” Kencell Nixon: “I am so darn grateful to have been elected as a First-Year Senator and am nostalgic about the whole experience already! I’m excited to listen to my peers and use their suggestions to improve SMU! Thanks again, guys! Love yourself and Pony Up!” Nathan Devera: “More than anything else, I think that my win shows that even smiling at or having a small conversation with someone
goes a long way. I love meeting new people and getting myself out there, and I like to believe that that was a great contributing factor in my selection as a Senator for the freshman class. In regards to the role, I’m incredibly ready to attack the Senator position with my full enthusiasm! I want to be able to contribute to the continual prosperity of this school and am very grateful to be able to do so!” Pedro Aragone: “I am very excited to be a First-Year Senator! It is always special to get selected by your peers to represent them as a class (also a great ego booster). I am looking forward to working with the other four First-Year Senators as well as all the other senators in order to make positive change at SMU. I am expected to be proactive in school and senate and I fully intend to meet those expectations.”

Trump meets supporters, protesters in Dallas LAUREN AGUIRRE Assignments Desk Editor lcaguirre@smu.edu Donald Trump walked on stage, and opened his remarks with: “You notice what’s missing tonight? Teleprompters.” Then, he proceeded to talk for about an hour with no script. He only looked down at his notes to quote specific statistics on the U.S. trade deficit. Katrina Pierson, a Texas congressional candidate spokesperson, opened the event. Trump was introduced by Scottie Nell Hughes, news director for TPNN.com. Trump discussed the same points he has illustrated since the beginning of his campaign. He supports new immigration laws, stopping illegal immigration and repealing Obamacare. He also brought up some relatively new points: he plans to help women’s health care and take care of U.S. veterans. Later in his speech, he announced he would release a tax plan in about three weeks. However, these points were a small part of
the event. He didn’t mention any specific policy issues until about 20 minutes into his speech. SMU Political Science Professor Matthew Wilson said Trump is using his rallies and events to control Republican rhetoric. “As the front-runner, he’s controlling the discourse of the GOP primary,” Wilson said. “Texas is up for grabs in this primary. Trump is visiting to shore up support.” The majority of the event was Trump joking and sharing stories with the audience. About five minutes into his speech, he turned around to face the audience seated behind him. “The people in the back have the best view,” Trump said. “They can see my hair is real.” He also spent at least 10 minutes discussing the process of removing scaffolding on the Capitol Building for the inauguration ceremony in 2017. Expectedly, he also put down his opponents in the GOP primary and on the Democratic side. He detailed how Secretary of State John Kerry performed

poorly in negotiations with Iran, and also mentioned that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not do a good job in the position either. “Would you rather have Hillary or Trump negotiate?” Trump asked the audience. “Trump!” The crowd yelled back. Anytime Trump mentioned immigration policy, like his plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, the crowd stood up and cheered. “All you have to do is go to Israel and say ‘how’s
your wall working?’,” Trump said. “Walls work.” He also stated his opposition to the U.S. crude oil export ban. “We can be the number one energy producer in the world. But we have archaic laws,” Trump said. Later, Trump claimed that his support is “surging with women.” “I love women. I cherish women,” he said. “I’m going to take such good care of women’s health, you won’t even believe it.” But, he also stated he plans to repeal and replace
the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as “Obamacare.” Under the current law, birth control is completely covered on any insurance plan. There’s no out-of-pocket cost. Leslie Heltzen, who attended the event to explore her options in the Republican primary, said she liked that Trump mentioned women’s health. “It was good that he named things he was going to do,” Heltzen said. “I’m glad he mentioned he would help women’s issues.” Michael Galloway
traveled to Dallas from Galveston just to attend Trump’s rally. “I wasn’t a fan of him before he announced, but whenever he gave his speech, I agreed with a lot of what he said,” Galloway said. “Illegal immigration is kind of a big deal around here. I like how he’s talking about the hedge fund guys not paying their fair share of taxes.” But not everyone was pleased that Trump visited Dallas, namely two Latino activist groups. Both the Latino Votes Project’s Un Día Sin Trump and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) staged protests outside the event. “Dump the Trump,” a LULAC-organized event held a march of about 400 protestors that stalled traffic in the downtown area. The protest was complete with Trump look-alike pinatas. Trump did not address the protestors during his event, but Wilson believes that Trump isn’t too worried about these groups. “He probably welcomes it,” Wilson said. “He enjoys the spectacle. I don’t think it bothers him.”

Blue, The Misfit is the artist to watch
CARLEEANN ALLEN Assoc. A&L: Food and Fitness carleeanna@smu.edu
MADELEINE KALB Contributing Writer mkalb@smu.edu The first time I saw Dallas hip-hop artist, Blue, The Misfit, his hair was dreaded with bleached ends and was tied back in a bandana from the anime series Afro-Samurai, his favorite anime character. The 29-year-old experimental producer/rapper was opening for “Divorce Pop” rock band Son of Stan at Lola’s in Fort Worth, Texas. Needless to say, the artist successfully defied the limitations of the hip-hop genre that evening in both music and style. Today at his studio in Deep Ellum, Blue is unrecognizable with a buzz cut and casually dressed in a black Metallicainspired Yeezus T-shirt paired with black cut-off jorts. His arm is wrapped from tattoo work done the day before, this piece he describes will cover his chest and half sleeves on both arms. “The way I go about living my life depicts the clothes I wear. I don’t want to look at a trend or look at the way someone else wore it,” Blue said. Blue’s music and style are constantly evolving in what he describes as simply a lifestyle with little thought behind it. If it feels good, he does it. Blue effortlessly evolves and credits his icons, Yeezus and producer Timbaland, for pushing the music industry out of the box to be more accepting of experimental production. Blue, The Misfit, a.k.a. Brandon Blue, is redefining how we accept music by integrating genre labels and standards. Going to a Blue, The Misfit show, you can expect to find a bill with punk, rock, electronic and stoner rock bands. “If you like jazz, hip-hop, electronic music — fuse that shit, and make something out

Blue, The Misfit performing with his innovative sounds. of your influences and that’s what I’m doing,” Blue said on his upcoming album that is set to release before SXSW 2016. Blue believes the future of music will be less genre-defined in a unified culture of simple music lovers. “Topic and I were collaborating on a beat the other day and he said ‘Aw he’s about to Blue it up,’ which is cool because that means I have an identity,” Blue said on his sound as a producer. Blue released “Child of the Wild” in May 2014 and found himself lost and unsure of what to produce next. He said he could have easily produced Child of the Wild II but knew in order to leave his legacy he had to do something game-changing on his next album. “It’s like if Nirvana made rap music. I don’t know what to expect, but I’ve brought in a lot of people to listen to it and everyone has said they have never heard anything like it,” Blue said. Blue expects music lovers to love it, but fears that the casual person will struggle to understand it. The album stemmed from a brief sample of a Saul William’s set Blue caught at Club Dada in Deep Ellum. Blue said he heard that one beat and immediately left the show to start creating. “I want to put on a theatricalesque Kanye show. I want it to be an experience and not just
a show, I want you to be like, ‘Woah, that just happened,’” Blue said on his anticipated early 2016 album release party. Blue began his career as a producer during his senior year of high school when he was gifted the beat-making program, Fruity Loops, which he continues to develop on and create with today, 11 years later. Blue met and produced Dorrough’s first two albums “Get Like Me” and “Get Like Me Vol II” when they were both attending Prairie View A&M. “Even back then, I had a lot of respect for being different. I went to an all black college and nobody really wanted to rap on my beats because they were so weird,” Blue said. After growing tired of the beat-making and selling game, Blue realized he could produce and write for himself. He always identified as Blue, The Misfit. “The Misfit has always clung to me for a very long time…just that feeling of being misunderstood and always wanting to push the genre,” Blue said on how he became the Misfit. Blue truly marches to the beat of his own drum and has a uniquely independent voice as an emerging artist with his inspirations being drawn from broader contexts including Japanese anime. He is a producer that is redefining how we listen to and associate music.
Between the new Boulevard set up and the win over University of North Texas, Saturday was one for the books. Another big thing happened Saturday, and while it may have gone unnoticed by some students, it won’t for long. Olivella’s Pizza is now the official pizza concessionaire of SMU Athletics. “We are happy to add Olivella’s as the Official Pizza Concessionaire for SMU Athletics,” said Brad Sutton, senior associate athletic director for SMU Athletics. “We are constantly working to improve our game day

experience and adding great and unique concession options like Olivella’s is another step in that direction. I know our fans will enjoy this addition.” Students can look forward to eating favorites like the Margherita and Black Truffle pizza at the upcoming football and basketball games. The pizza truck also will feature new items for SMU students to try, including a 10-inch Big Formaggio fried pizza

and Arancini, balled risotto fried with breadcrumbs. Two other new items to look out for are the Zeppole and Chocolate Salami. Olivella’s has been a longtime favorite for the students of SMU and will be a big part of game day. The new pizza truck, complete with a 4,300-pound wood-burning stove that was built in Italy, will bring a new flavor to game day.

seasonal collections weeks in advance, so fans too can wear “the look.” Though fashion’s presence hardly goes unnoticed at any sporting tournament today (except, maybe, Wimbledon with its traditional white-only limits), it seems to win a grand slam at the U.S. Open. Possibly due to the boundary-pushing attitude of New York City as well as the abundance of non-tennis media coverage that is always included, meaning a greater potential audience reach.
Color blocking. Ombré. Snakeskin. These trends aren't a glimpse of what to expect during this year’s spring/summer 2016 ready-to-wear fashion shows, but rather a list of trends that have been making the rounds on center court in New York for the past week and a half at the United States Open tennis tournament.

the closeness of the two occasions – the U.S. Open Championships are Sept. 13 while New York Fashion Week, the kick-starter of a round of international collections, begins Sept. 10. Or that tennis happens to be Anna Wintour’s, editor-in-chief of American Vogue and artistic director for Condé Nast, favorite sport — a fact made known by Wintour’s tendency to feature famous tennis players in her magazine and to even skip shows in favor of final matches. Blame this merger of the worlds of sports and fashion on the increasing attendance of athletes (of all varieties, not only tennis) at haute couture fashion shows and consumers’ current obsession with brand names. What better example than the color-blocked navy, white and nude Stella McCartney for
Adidas tennis dress that Caroline Wozniacki wore (modeled?) for her first round of Open matches? The custom and sporty ensemble seemed to be inspired by McCartney’s most iconic runway series of color-blocked dresses from Fall/Winter 2011. Ana Ivanovic’s hand-painted red Adidas racer-back tennis dress complete with an ombré effect into a darker marsala hue, Pantone’s 2015 color of the year, also drew eyes.

Williams in her own snakeskin dress for Nike.
Plus, the tournament features matches all day, and what other sporting event involves day and eveningwear? Take, for instance, Serena Williams’s peach-toned snakeskin day and night dresses, which are both part of her Serena Greatness collection in collaboration with Nike. Snakeskin, of course, showed up on the fall/winter 2015 runways of Chloé and Miu Miu.

Louis Vuitton’s fall 2015 ad campaign features Swedish actress Alicia Vikander adorned in a seamless tank top and miniskirt that appear extremely tennis-like in silhouette, due to the outfit’s body-hugging lines and shortened skirt. The increasingly blurred lines between athletic and ready-to-wear looks can lend thanks to the ever-popular hybrid known as athleisure wear. Like major fashion houses, athletic brands are now unveiling their

Miu Miu’s runway featured snakeskin looks too.
What does all of this mean? Ms. Wintour might not be skipping fashion shows in favor of tennis matches after all.

Perry bows out of GOP race Everyone get your Miss America wave ready, because Texas Gov. Rick Perry is taking his final bow in the 2016 Presidential Election! If you were a Manny Pacquiao fan watching Floyd Mayweather throw as many punches as possible until the very end, then you know how the state of Texas feels as they watch their governor take his final knockout (it couldn’t be over soon enough) Perry’s running for the GOP nomination has been a long time coming. Back in 2008, people started considering him for the 2012 election. His first round in the ring was a noble one though; he landed himself fifth on the polls after the vote in the Iowa caucuses Jan. 3, 2012. However, he later announced that he was suspending his campaign, which now gives us fans a little bit of déjà vu and a headache. What does suspending a campaign really mean? It means, cowboys and

cowgirls with a heavy pocket can still donate to their governor as he sits on the couch and watches the race from the comfort of his own home – sign me up for that job! Aside from a couple of hiccups along the way (like the time he “spent an awkward 53 seconds trying to remember the third federal agency that he would want to cut if he were president”) Perry has made some viable Republican-loving arguments: economic growth, lowering of taxes, retiring the debt, keeping America safe, and focusing the government. Sounds like an all-star candidate!

So, why can’t Rick Perry keep his relationships together? More than 10 of his hired staff in Iowa quit the campaign in the past month. Some went back to old jobs so that they could actually get paid, while some were just conflicted with his strategies. One staffer who left said, “There’s no events going on here. Basically, the campaign is eventcentered, and so there’s no events.” Goodness Rick. Do we recommend him a sugar daddy or a marriage counselor? No need to panic however, Perry believes it is okay to suspend his campaign because the other candidates are just as strong as he is. In a Tweet posted Friday afternoon Perry said, “Today I step aside knowing as long as we fight for the cause of conservatism, our nation is in good hands.” There, there Governor. All’s well that ends well. And to that, we Miss America-wave you out of the ring.

Kate Spade will release first athleisure line in spring ‘16 Emily Ward Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu With the start of September and the beginnings of fall finally in the air, spring 2016 is the last thing on students’ minds. But, the fashion industry is always seasons ahead, and Kate Spade New York currently has fashionistas everywhere dreaming of springtime. On the agenda for next year is the whimsical clothes and accessories brand’s first athleisure line.

The kitchen collection will include clever idioms.
Kate Spade will collaborate with Beyond Yoga to debut a limited-edition collection of yoga wear with the preppy label’s signature flair. The athletic line will include peek-a-boo bras, halter camis, leggings and, of course, a bow-adorned jacket. Plus, the entire collection isn’t too pricey, ranging from $84 for sports bras to $179 for the jacket. With early 2016 such a long ways away, imaginations are already springing forward with what could be in store for Kate Spade’s Beyond Yoga line. Printed tops are a must, because this witty brand always says what it means on its clever T-shirts, sweatshirts and accessories. “Namaste in bed, anyone?” Since bright colors are definitely expected, Kate Spade’s daring color combos may mean great things for your yoga pants. And the company’s sweet embellishments (i.e. bows) already upgrade all the other everyday activities of life; imagine what they can do for your downward dog. Mary Beech, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Kate Spade & Co., told Yahoo! Style the new line is “a thoughtful expansion of our lifestyle offerings.” Anticipate the perfect blend of the bright

Kate Spade New York will introduce cookware, cupcake-like totes and more starting this fall.
colors and details Kate Spade is famous for with Beyond Yoga’s comfy fabrics and body conscious-silhouettes. With this announcement, the $1.14 billion apparel and accessories company is now several steps closer to becoming a bona fide lifestyle brand. This is a complete turnaround considering it ceased production of both Kate Spade Saturday and Jack Spade lines earlier this year.

Kate Spade’s next collaboration: Magnolia Bakery.
On an even brighter side, the company has plans to expand its line of goods far beyond your closet – and into kitchens, living rooms, kids’ closets and chapels. In addition to the Beyond Yoga collection, spring 2016 will also see the release of the brand’s first sleepwear, loungewear and bridal lines. In a collaboration with pajama aficionado Carole Hochman, the sleepwear and loungewear line will include short and long pajamas and separates ($48 to $98), chemises
and nightgowns ($58 to $98) and robes ($68 to $118). To help you through the wait, Kate Spade is expanding its All in Good Taste line to offer its customers a new kitchen accessories collection in October. The collection will include 116 different pieces of cookware, dinnerware, flatware, glassware and hostess gifts. The items will feature clever idioms and bold patterns and range from $7 to $120 in price. The line will be sold exclusively at Macy’s and on macys.com, or on katespade. com come January. Bedding, rugs and furniture are all slotted to be next. Kate Spade’s third coffee table book, All in Good Taste, will also be released in October of this year. This fall will see the release of Kate Spade’s new line for babies and young children as well. The youngsters’ apparel, ranging from $22 to $44 for babies and $19 to $74 for kids, will be available online or in select Kate Spade boutiques. Most exciting (and unique!) is the announcement of Kate Spade’s upcoming October collaboration with every New York It-girl’s favorite guilty pleasure: Magnolia Bakery. This fun capsule collection is set to include a cupcake-themed tote, banana pudding-inspired crossbody and cookbook clutch. Yummy! When discussing the Magnolia line, the president and chief creative officer of Kate Spade & Co., Deborah Lloyd, told WWD, “The Kate Spade New York girl has a strong appetite for a novelty piece and a conversation starter.” Put us down for one of everything, please.
