Students, professor respond to Adderral abuse report KATARINA ZITO Staff Writer kzito@smu.edu Twenty-five percent of college students admit to using Adderall to assist them with their studies, according to a report by the Journal of Law & Education’s Chalk Talk Adderall Abuse. It has become commonplace to see Adderall being used by people who are undiagnosed. SMU students had mixed reactions about the prevalence of Adderall on campus. Senior engineering major Paul Jujan said he did not notice students using Adderall too much — at least, not anymore. “I was an RA, so people didn’t show it to me,” Jujan said. He said he thinks Adderall abuse might be a problem for students who don’t have good time management skills, but said it’s different for students majoring in engineering. “I feel like in engineering we have more daily homework, so that is why I
don’t see it being used as much as students in liberal arts who have to study for 10 hours and write long papers more,” Jujan said. First-year Kendra Peck and her friends, Samantha Waldman and Eva Ravenel, haven’t come across people who misuse Adderall at SMU. They all said that it was wrong if students who weren’t prescribed Adderall used it to help them study for classes. “I’m sure it goes on, but I don’t think there’s a problem here on campus,” Peck said. “I think there are bigger issues.” Senior lecturer Bruce Levy shared that he definitely has had students in his classes that he suspected were misusing Adderall. “Especially in December and April, those seem to be the main months students use it,” Levy said. Campus views varried on the prevalence of Adderral at SMU. If you know someone abusing drugs, visit the SMU Counseling Center website for help and more information.

When worlds collide
Creative computing majors merge arts, technology fields to create game-changing hybrid OLIVIA NGUYEN Managing Editor qonguyen@smu.edu Ira Greenberg sits in his office in the Center of Creative Computation located next to Hamon Arts Library. The director and professor for creative computation works on his desktop computer. His eyes dart back and forth on the monitor as he rapidly types across his keyboard. His styled hair and professional demeanor make him seem intimidating, but his welcoming smile warms up the room. Greenberg’s paintings and photos of 3D sculptures hang around the white-walled office and dashboard homepage. “My background was in painting,” Greenberg said. “Questions I asked myself as a painter about patterns to create my own work I started to think about it in code.” Greenberg’s curiosity led him to delve deeper into investigating coding and computation. His findings astonished him. “I realized that creative computing is an amazingly powerful medium that we were mainly using for functional, utilitarian purposes,” Greenberg said. “I saw it as this powerful palette for artists. It’s traditional where I create stuff that can be painted or sculpted, but a lot of the work I’m doing is building new approaches to languages or softwares other artists or people can use.” Greenberg channeled this newfound passion and sought to build a program around the idea. He then came to SMU six years ago with the promise that he and other faculty members in similar fields could build a center for creative computation. “Our program is continuously built each year,” Greenberg said. “We have somewhere upwards of 40 majors and a lot
of minors. There seems to be steady growth.” The creative computing program allows students to take varying types of courses and customize their schedules. Requirements include six essential courses in creative practice, applied technology and six-to-seven courses in creative computing, the hybrid practice with technology. Sophomore Sadie Donnelly intended on pursuing an arts major before she discovered creative computing. “Originally throughout high school I had been interested in art electives and had intended on pursuing that as my major,” Donnelly said. “However, when investigating the Meadows website, I stumbled across information on creative computing. I realized it was perfect for me, it’s still creative and has an edge over traditional media in a society that’s evolving so quickly.” Classes heavily focus on coding. Most class setups involve students bringing their own laptops and learning code alongside the professor. Programs like Processing and Xcode are commonly taught, but countless other programs and coding languages keep students interested. In fact, creative computing majors have such a desire to learn that they have pursued undergraduate research with the help of Greenberg, Yong Bakos and Engaged Learning advisers. Greenberg said one student, Kali Ruppert, has started a project combining art history with code, looking at patterns in terms of connecting with art historical research. Another student, Brittany Watkins, worked with Greenberg over the summer on a project they call Protobyte. “Protobyte is a library for other developers to write code using our library to generate 3D organic forms and build 3D worlds in a sense,” Greenberg said.
The fervor students and professors have in the creative computing for research looks promising to find new discoveries in the future, especially with the help of Engaged Learning. Susan Kress, director of Engaged Learning, says their initiative ensures all undergraduates have unique, selfdriven opportunities for undergraduate research, community service, professional internships, creative production and entrepreneurial ventures; that is, beyond the classroom learning, as part of their SMU education. “[The purpose of this program] is a way to make their dreams come real, provide funding to make them happen, build their resumes and receive recognition by the university for what they have done,” Kress said. The hybrid field is still new, but the creative computing program along with engaged learning research has proved beneficial for students as they search for jobs after college or apply for graduate schools. “We didn’t know this would happen, but our students are gaining unbelievable opportunities” Greenberg said. “We’ve had students get into top graduate programs on their first try or get into all four they applied to; even their first job choice they’ll get.” Greenberg hopes creative computing will carve a pathway for students interested in both science and arts. “We have a poor numeracy in our culture where people don’t understand math and numbers very well, and we sort of bifurcated that by saying you’re either a math type or a creative type, but we often don’t integrate those things,” Greenberg said. “I think creative computing is a way to combine those things to help people be creative and analytical at the same time and not see them as such different paths. And that there’s options for people to not have to choose. It’s contribution.”

SMU releases annual Security and Fire Safety Report KATIE BUTLER Staff Writer kbutler@smu.edu SMU released its Annual Security and Fire Safety Report for the SMU Main, Plano and Taos campuses Oct. 1. The report details all campus and nearcampus crimes between 2012 and 2014, showing the decrease or increase in the number of crimes or safety procedures per category, ranging from sexual assault to burglary to the number of fire drills conducted on campus. On SMU’s main campus, there was a decrease in aggravated sexual assault, while burglary spiked in 2013, and both dating violence and stalking spiked in 2014. In fact, in 2012 and 2013, there were no reports of stalking on campus, but that statistic grew in 2014 with two reports. Liquor law violations resulting in arrest have grown as well, increasing from 31 on campus in 2012 to 71 on campus in 2014. In addition, liquor law violations that have resulted in judicial referrals have grown from 246 in 2012 to 354 in 2014. While the number of forcible sex offenses on campus remains consistent, the number of sexual assaults reported to faculty members has gone from zero per year in 2012 to three in 2014. These statistics show more sexual assaults are being reported to faculty and staff members. SMU is attempting to tackle these crimes
with its ask Force on Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures, created by President R. Gerald Turner Sept. 28, 2012. In May 2013, President Turner approved 41 recommendations to the task force that addressed sexual misconduct reporting procedures, Title IX requirements, the student conduct process, education programs for students, enhanced training for staff and communications to parents. The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is issued Oct. 1 every year. It details the act’s intentions and response plans and defines terms discussed in the report. Statistical data of crimes does not appear until page 24. According to The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Act, referred to most commonly as the Clery Act, “each institution of higher education in the United States which participates in federal student aid programs must produce and distribute an annual report containing crime statistics and statements of security policy.” According to the report, the Clery Act serves to “provide the campus community with accurate, complete and timely information about the crime and the safety of the campus environment so they can make informed decisions to keep themselves safe.” To find this year’s full Clery Report visit this story online at the www. smudailycampus.com.

A bubble soccer match takes place during the RC Olympics.
Commons take no mercy in Residential Commons Olympics JACQUELYN ELIAS Graphic Designer jelias@smu.edu Shirts of varying colors filled the Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports basketball stands Oct. 1. Excited chatter rumbled the building as representatives from each Residential Commons sprinkled in, finding their fellow teammates amidst the rainbow of Commons T-shirts and the pile of around 400 plastic balls in the middle of the court. These representatives came to attend the opening ceremony of the second annual Residential Commons Olympics, a central event for Commons to earn points for the Commons Cups. Cockrell-McIntosh Commons collected the most points throughout the night and brought home a firstplace win. Boaz Commons followed in second and Crum Commons in third; however, several Commons followed close behind these top three. The night consisted of different activities for each Commons to compete. While returning students recognized some games from last year, such as Connect Four, Dodgeball, Battleship and Knockerball (Bubble Soccer),
new games were introduced such as Jeopardy and Hungry Hungry Hippos. Each Residential Commons organized 24-member teams of residents to compete in the different competitions. Other residents came to support their peers as well, cheering and chanting throughout the activities. Hungry Hungry Hippos kicked off the night, providing much entertainment as participants watched their peers roll on mini carts and collect plastic balls. Following this game, each Commons group went to play individually. Knockerball and Jeopardy competed first after Hungry Hungry Hippos. “I was enthused to see people wanted to play Jeopardy, but I was terrified since I made the questions myself by memory, and I was worried nobody would know them,” said A.J. Jeffries, vice president of Commons Initiatives and coordinator of the RC Olympics. While Jeopardy challenged the minds of students, Knockerball tested their physical endurance and pain tolerance. Knockerball collected quite the crowd as many people surrounded the indoor multipurpose court. A game
with few rules, participants knocked each other left and right as they raced to chase after the soccer ball and score. The Olympics ended with a highly attended game of Battleships. After Dodgeball and Knockerball ended, all participants went to the indoor Dedman pool to cheer on their Commons as they tried to sink the other Commons’ canoes. The pool rang with chants and cheers from each of the Commons, and few escaped dry as even bystanders were not safe from the splashing of participants. After Battleships, the standings were announced and a plaque was awarded to the overall winner, Cockrell-McIntosh. With so many groups involved, this event has been in the works for months. Jeffries spearheaded the restructuring of the RC Olympics last May after he received feedback from last year’s event. “My biggest concern was making sure that enough people were there,” Jeffries said. To assist the Commons in filling rosters for events, Jeffries pushed back the RC Olympics from its September date to October. Despite these adjustments, Jeffries said he still faced obstacles due to university changes in funding.

NCAA sanctions affect men’s golf, Bryson DeChambeau BRIAN O’DONNELL Sports Editor bodonnell@smu.edu With all the attention focused on the men’s basketball team last week, the significance of the NCAA sanctions on SMU’s men’s golf team may have been overlooked by some. It too faces scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and a 2015-16 postseason ban. The NCAA Committee on Infractions reported the following regarding the golf team when it announced the results of its investigation: “The former head men’s golf coach committed Level I violations when he provided false or misleading information to the enforcement staff. The former head men’s golf coach also committed collective Level II violations that arose to Level I when he impermissibly communicated with several prospects, provided prospects impermissible inducements, and allowed the representative to engage in recruiting activities on behalf of the institution. These violations provided
or were intended to provide a substantial recruiting advantage to the institution.” The NCAA alleges former Head coach Josh Gregory had 64 impermissible contacts with 10 potential recruits. The NCAA reported Gregory contacted these recruits prior to the period allowed by NCAA rules and offered them discounted merchandise and golf equipment. The investigation also revealed that a booster contacted prospective players and facilitated contact between the team and the recruits’ families. Gregory told the NCAA that he was unaware of the booster’s activities, but emails between the two were reportedly found to contain updates on the recruits. According to the NCAA, Level I violations are the highest offenses and are classified as severe breaches of conduct “that seriously undermine or threaten the integrity of the NCAA collegiate model.” Level II violations are significant breaches of conduct “that provide or are intended to provide more
Campus Weekly preview for Thursday’s nationally televised matchup vs. Houston BRIAN O’DONNELL Sports Editor bodonnell@smu.edu Thursday night’s matchup between the Houston Cougars and SMU Mustangs is a critical game for both teams. Houston is coming off of a 38-24 conference win against Tulsa while the Mustangs are looking to recover from a disappointing 49-23 conference loss to East Carolina. Late last season, the Cougars defeated SMU 35-9 en route to an 8-5 record and a bowl win. For SMU, last year’s loss came as no surprise for a team that started the season 0-11. Houston has started this year strong, with wins over Tennessee Tech, Louisville, Texas State, and Tulsa. The Cougars enter this week with a 4-0 record. They rank No. 4 in total offense in the nation, racking up 6.97 yards per play, and No. 8 in rushing defense, giving up only 2.45 yards per attempt. The offense is led by junior quarterback Greg Ward Jr. Ward has opened the season strong, accounting for 15 touchdowns and only throwing one interception. Having rushed for 90 yards or more in all four games this season, he is the team’s leading rusher and definitely a dual
threat to the SMU defense. A trio of running backs have accounted for six touchdowns and the rest of the 1,223 yards on the ground for the Cougars’ seventh-ranked rushing offense. The rushing attack could have a big day against an SMU defense that has given up nearly 300 yards per game on the ground. Houston’s new Head Coach Tod Herman highlighted the importance of Thursday’s game. “For us, this is a really big game because we run into these guys in just about everything we do from exposure, to media market, to you name it,” Herman said. “We want to make sure we have bragging rights for the entire year in the great state of Texas.” After losses to two top 5 teams and a win over North Texas in between, the Mustangs were where they were expected to be. However, a last-minute loss to FCS opponent James Madison ruined the mood. Last week’s blown 23-7 lead against East Carolina only added to the disappointment. The Mustangs seem dangerously close to a tipping point. Though they have looked better than last season, the losses are piling up. They desperately need an upset win over Houston to get their season back on track and revive some hope of progress.

than a minimal but less than a substantial or extensive recruiting, competitive or other advantage.”
Despite having left SMU in August 2014, Gregory was given a five-year show-cause order for his actions and will have to go through a lengthy process if he seeks employment at another NCAA member university. SMU faces a three-year reduction in scholarships by 25 percent of the previous four years’ total. The team was also enforced a 12.5 percent reduction in recruiting communications and off-campus recruiting days. Perhaps the most serious consequence is the postseason ban for the upcoming season. The Mustangs have been on the rise in the last few seasons, advancing to the quarterfinals in the 2014 NCAA Championships and finishing 15th in the 2015 NCAA Championships. In addition, senior Bryson DeChambeau won the 2015 Individual NCAA Championship and will not be able to defend his title in 2016 unless an appeal reverses the decision.

Mendelsohn, Reynolds shine in new film ‘Mississippi Grind’ RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Gerry, a victim of his own repeated self-loathing, is a gambling addict with nothing left to lose. In debt to every gambler in town, he moves along every day trying to find money to support his own habits as well as pay back those he owes. One night, at a Texas Hold-Em table, he meets a man named Curtis who is everything he wishes he could be — young, goodlooking, charismatic, and most importantly, a winner. They get a drink at the bar and the next thing you
know, Gerry and Curtis are on a road trip through the South in an effort to hit every casino. Winding through the South, the film bends and twists along with our protagonists, changing direction with every new city they enter. As they switch from city to city, the music changes to fit the local styles — populated with a rich soundtrack featuring classic blues and jazz licks throughout time. The music beautifully overlays the film with a sweet and sad tone that perfectly matches the narrative. Almost more impressive
than the soundtrack, however, were the performances from leads Ben Mendelsohn and Ryan Reynolds. Mendelsohn played the role of a desperate loser with nothing going for him. His counterpart in Ryan Reynolds was portrayed outstandingly, but with almost the exact opposite style. Brash and full of bravado, Reynolds made sure that his character was exactly what he seemed: charismatic and clever. Reynolds’ Curtis was everything that Gerry wanted to be — a winner. “Mississippi Grind” is playing locally at Look Cinemas Prestonwood.

The duo took the stage with confidence, passion and a little pizzazz, playing a mix
of covers and original music off their debut album. The intimate crowd was hooked as soon as the band strummed on its guitars and began its set. “We were still working out the kinks, but it was a blast,” the duo said of Dallas’ concert on its Facebook page. For those unfamiliar with the band, The Wind and the Wave consists of Dwight Baker, “The Wind,” and
Patricia Lynn, “The Wave.” The two met back in 2009 when Baker attended a friend’s band’s concert where Lynn’s previous band was the opening act. Baker said Lynn’s voice was the best in the band, expressed interest in working with her and the rest is history. The two released their

Author Stephen Simon King opens up about his “Mistaken Identity” KARA FELLOWS Contributing Writer kfellows@smu.edu The idea of an antihero, is not a new concept in literature, but with awareness of police brutality and gun control in America rising, it is becoming increasingly common. Stephen Simon King’s “Mistaken Identity” engages these culturally relevant ideas in a tale of rash decisions, murder and what happens when people take the law into their own hands. Attempting to bring the realism and relevance of America’s current state of distrust of police officers, King decided to make that the focal point of his novel. Based on a true story, “Mistaken Identity” begins in the late 1940s in Bangor, Maine, where a group of Marine Corps veterans are dealing with assimilating to civilian life. After one dies from a hemorrhage while in police custody, the veterans grow

debut album “From the Wreckage” last year with RCA Records. The Wind and The Wave’s website describes its music as music that “encompasses everything form indie-folk, to alternative, to blues-rock to Southern psychedelia.” And frankly, this statement is more than true. The Wind and The Wave cannot be pigeonholed into one genre because its music incorporates aspects of several different groupings to create its unique sound and tracks. The two are a songwriting powerhouse, creating tunes
suspicious of the officer who made the arrest due to his past record of unnecessary violence. The rest of the group decides to avenge their fallen friend by arranging a hit-and-run while the officer is on nighttime traffic patrol. But after going through with their plan and, killing the directing officer, the veterans discover they murdered the wrong officer, and must deal with and avoid the ensuing consequences. What emerges is a tale of loyalty, guilt and the lengths people will go to when put in a corner. King is an 85-yearold retiree who took up writing after years in the construction business. This particular story had been on his mind for quite some time. “It was a story that I carried in my head for many years and I just thought that apparently it would make a pretty good yarn for somebody to be entertained by,” King said.
King only started writing about four years ago and has already published his first book. King has lived across the country from Arizona to Texas to Maine, where the story took place. King’s time in Maine allowed him to put some of his own experiences in the book as well. “There’s one part of the story that I wrote that involves a hunting trip to a cabin in the central part of Maine. That part of the story is actually true. That actually happened to me,” King said. He also had a short boxing career, like Vinny Cipriani, one of the veterans in the book. He published his first book after following his own advice. “Don’t give up on any story. In other words, if you think it is a worthwhile story to tell, by all means tell it.” “Mistaken Identity” is available in stores and online now.
with catchy beats and clever lyrics coming from authentic personal experiences. Lynn described them as “words from her diary” on stage. The Wind and The Wave are not all business though, they love to laugh and get the crowd involved in its fun. Lynn pokes fun at Baker and vice versa. It is easy to see the closeness and realness in their friendship on stage. It’s hard to pick a favorite song from the night as the band impressed with each one it performed. From catchy, handclapping “My Mama Said Find a Place to Lay Your Head” to heartfelt, jazzy “A Husband and Wife Should Sleep Together,” the band
captivated the crowd and left them begging for more. The band’s covers of popular hits did not disappoint either. The Wind and The Wave’s cover of R. Kelly’s 2003 “Ignition” was one of the best heard to date. It was the perfect ending to a brilliant show. It must also be noted that Lynn’s voice is unlike any others. She might even sound better live than on her tracks, which is rare in this-day-in-age of auto-tuned vocals and over-the-top background noise. So loyal readers, listen to The Wind and The Wave’s latest album from start to finish. You will not be disappointed.

Brown bag dancers perform in the Brown Bag Dance Series in Fall 2014.
Brown Bag Dance Series Returns CARLEEANN ALLEN Assoc. A&L: Food&Fitness carleeanna@smu.edu Brown Bag is back, which means SMU’s dance students will debut their latest moves to the student body. Most students who attend Brown Bag simply enjoy the show and move on to their next class. Few understand the hard work that goes into the show for the weeks leading up to the event. The groups have a few weeks to choreograph and perfect their routines before they go to the next round of auditions. The audition involves a panel of three dance professors who select pieces that will be put into the Brown Bag
show. Brown Bag gives students a chance to try out independent choreographing. Senior dance student Hannah Hess said she never thought she would choreograph until she gave it a chance this year. Hess’ piece, “Let It Go,” is her way of closing the door to her dancing career before graduation, when she will begin her accounting career. Student choreographers find inspiration for their pieces from their own life or abstract things. Each choreographer has a unique inspiration for his or her piece. The upcoming Brown Bag Series will mark Olivia Schmid’s second time choreographing a show. Her piece, “Impedire,” was
inspired by Schmid’s recent trip to London this summer. Schmid saw a homeless man sitting by an ATM when a man and woman dressed in a shimmering dress and tux came to the machine, withdrew money and left. Schmid was inspired by the juxtaposition of the scene. Some pieces are meant to be funny and entertaining, like Rebecca Moore’s “We are Potatoes,” while others are dramatic and are intended to keep the audience on the edge of its seat. The styles of pieces in the show vary from modern, jazz and contemporary to pointe. This semester’s Brown Bag series runs from Oct. 5-9 in the Owen Arts Center in the Bob Hope Theater lobby.

@SMUCW_Opinion
Things to consider for SMU’s appeal Ever since the NCAA ruling was released, talk has surrounded the appeals process and what SMU will do. The Appeals Process: The NCAA’s new process for sanctions and appeals starts with a new set of categorizations for infractions. The NCAA has published a list of penalty tiers ranging from Level I: Severe Breach of conduct to Level IV: Incidental issues. Each of these penalty levels has its associated pre-set penalties. The NCAA has increased the severity of all penalties, making SMU’s sanctions more painful. While it may seem other schools are getting off with academic fraud easy, theoretically the NCAA will be handing out stricter sanctions for everyone moving forward. We are just one of the very first schools to fall under this new sanctioning proceeding. In addition to these stricter penalties, the NCAA has put in place an appeals process through which schools may plead for modified sanctions. The appeals process is not a chance to overturn the conviction, but is a means by which schools can dispute the labeling of the findings, the interpretation of the NCAA’s rules or that the penalties handed down were excessive. The Case: In the NCAA’s list of breaches of conduct, “lack of institutional control, academic fraud, and individual unethical or dishonest conduct” are all given as grounds for level I violations. As we were penalized for academic fraud, arguing that our violations do not fall under the level I penalties will be a difficult case to argue. So what is left to argue? The two angles are either the NCAA’s interpretations of the new regulations have been incorrectly applied or that the

penalties imposed were far more excessive than the offense merited. The most likely argument is that the individual athletes are being unfairly sentenced for program issues they were not a part of. Suspending the team from the postseason seems an excessive penalty considering the details of the case — the fact that the alleged academic fraud was perpetrated by one assistant coach (since dismissed) at the player’s high school. Far too many people are being punished for the transgressions of very select few. Pros of Appealing: The obvious upside to appealing is the possibility that SMU will get some of the penalties reversed. This would bring back Moody Magic and our school spirit in full force. Additionally, the ideal of fighting an appeal to enable
players, portrayed as unfairly punished, to get back their shot at a postseason has a certain amount of moral righteousness to it that makes an appeal an attractive prospect for SMU. The case for an appeal is not hard to make considering all that we have lost and what we stand to gain if even a fraction of the sanctions were repealed. Cons of Appealing: While the prospect of reducing our penalties may be appealing, there is a certain amount of risk associated with dragging out the process. SMU could be possibly be portrayed as a school fighting that is not hard on academic fraud. Being seen as a university that is willing to compromise academic integrity for athletic achievement is not great press for SMU. Furthermore, with our rocky past in athletics, the general public is likely going to portray us as corrupt. Our stack of prior sanctions in athletics is not great for the university and causes people to assume the worst of our programs, even if it’s unfair. This appeal could very likely be the latest scuff on
SMU’s reputation if drawn out into an appeals process and not handled appropriately. Also, there is a decent amount of uncertainty with the appeals process being new and untested. We have no prior case law or precedent and are left to fend largely for ourselves against the NCAA. With no history to refer to, it is unclear as to what chance an appeal has at succeeding and how much it would help if we did manage to win in the end. Summary: It seems extremely likely that SMU will decide to appeal the sanctions — they were so severe that it is hard to imagine not to. However, the appeals process will not be an easy road, considering the history SMU has with the NCAA and the new standards recently implemented by the NCAA. All who enjoy SMU athletics, and indeed most of all the athletes affected, will be anxious for the next weeks, or possibly months as SMU works on reversing the sanctions that the NCAA has handed down. In the meantime, all we have left to talk about is the unfairness of the NCAA.

SMU senior turns stadium policy change into a business opportunity KASEY RUTH Contributing Writer kruth@smu.edu SMU senior Chandler Helms was catching up on her e-mails in late August when she stumbled upon an unexpected business opportunity. “It was a terrible time to start trying to create a business. I was sick, just started classes, and never thought I would actually pull off my idea,” Helms said. A new Gerald J. Ford Stadium policy bans all purses, bags or containers larger than a small clutch. Instead, fans may only bring in clear plastic bags smaller than 12-by-6-by-12 inches, and one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags. A similar policy has also been enforced at AT&T Stadium. Reading this new policy in her inbox, Helms began to think of ways to solve this new problem. She instantly started researching whether local retail stores were selling clear plastic bags. To her surprise, she found out that stores were not selling bags that fit the new policy. From there,

Helms’ stadium-appropriate bags are sold for $20.
Helms’ entrepreneurial instinct took off. Helms instantly had a vision for the bags she wanted to create. She wanted them to be simple and SMU-spirited, and she knew she would have to work with SMU to get the proper licensing. With little resistance, she got both licenses within a few days. With the help of Adobe Photoshop and a loan from her parents, she designed her bags and was ready to sell them by the second home game against UNT Sept. 12. There was no Boulevard for Helms and her friend Maggie Harper during the UNT game. Instead, they were busy selling bags to fans.

With a homemade sign and a table rented from the school, they started selling the bags outside the stadium. Originally sold for $25, she sold nearly 40 bags the first day. Helms quickly realized she might soon face competition as more fans began to hear about the policy change. “I was nervous that I wouldn’t sell any come the third home game, so I lowered my price,” Helms said. She made the decision to lower the price to $20 a bag. During Homecoming weekend on Sept. 26, Helms sold 73 bags, bringing in nearly $1,460. “I was shocked at how many we sold,” Helms said. “I was really scared we weren’t going to sell any.” Now, she has made enough to cover her parents’ loan. “Hopefully, today I can e-mail my parents a check back,” Helms said. With all of her recent success, Helms changed her full time retail job to part time in order to devote more time to her bags. “Last month was so not ideal to start a business,” Helms said. “But I did anyway and
now it’s really paying off.” Friends and family probably weren’t surprised at Helm’s success. In her freshman year of high school, Helms started a nonprofit scarf company in which all profits went towards making care packages to send to soldiers overseas. “That was really my first introduction to business,” Helms said. In regards to a goal for her bag business, Helms is unsure of her next move. “I don’t know if I will do a re-order or just sell out,” Helms said. “I will be deciding shortly whether or not to order more bags.” To purchase one of these bags, search for Helms outside of Ford Stadium on game days. Helms will have a mobile credit card scanner for those who don’t have cash at the next game day. The bags are also being sold at McCartney’s on Hillcrest Avenue. Keep an eye out for more inventions by Helms; her mind never stops thinking of ideas. “I actually have an idea for an app right now, but it’s still in the idea stage so I don’t want to give away too much information.”
The makeup list all wallets need MARIA SANTIAGO Contributing Writer mgsantiago@smu.edu Women often spend much more money than they intend to at makeup stores. There are some makeup products worth spending the big bucks on and others worth saving on. Try: MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation ($43) The first step in common makeup routines is foundation. Though there are acceptable drugstore foundations, nothing beats the formula of a high-end foundation. Try: MAYBELLINE Fit Me Concealer ($7) With reliable foundation in tow, save on your concealer as drugstore formulas equal, maybe even surpass, many high-end brands. Try: RIMMEL LONDON Stay Matte Pressed Powder ($5) Definitely save on your powder too. Drugstore powders give skin a matte finish and prevent any oil from peeking through. Try: URBAN DECAY Naked Palette Series ($54) and COLOUR POP Eye Shadow ($5) As for eye makeup, both splurge and
save on eyeshadow. It will be cost effective to own a good palette, even if it costs you a little more, because of its regular use. But pigmented, single-eye shadows from the drugstore are perfect when you want to try out a new color for the first time. Try: MAYBELLINE Great Lash Mascara ($4) That iconic pink and green bottle of mascara is the ultimate drugstore save. Maybelline has been thickening lashes since the ‘70s and it will have whatever look you are going for. Try: MILANI COSMETICS Baked Blush ($9) Save your money for something fun and save on great blushes that can all be found at the drugstore for $10 or less. Try: COLOUR POP Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick ($6) Beautify your lips without emptying your wallet. Drugstore lipsticks have creamy and hydrating formulas, in all types of finishes, so you can have a new look for every day without paying a pretty penny. Keep these splurge vs. save tips and tricks in mind and you and your wallet won’t cringe the next time you walk into a makeup store.
