The SMU Campus Weekly staff’s guide to celebrating Valentine’s Day 2016 SMU CAMPUS WEEKLY STAFF FOR WHEN YOU ’ RE S INGLE : Singles’ Awareness Day (some call it Valentine’s Day) falls on this Sunday, Feb. 14, and some people will probably result to throwing themselves a pity party, ranking their top five romantic comedies to cry to, and planning on binge-eating chocolate hearts that they are pretending someone else gave to you. Or at least, that’s what some of the SMU Campus Weekly staff have imagined themselves doing this for the last few single years. Yes, extreme wallowing.

Assignments Desk Editor Katie Butler woke up a week before Valentine’s Day feeling sorry for herself, wondering if she should finally cave and download Tinder when it hit her: what better way to celebrate the day of love than to, in the words of “Parks and Rec’s” Tom Haverford, “TREAT YO-SELF?’ Yes, she decided. This Valentine’s she was going to treat herself. Enough with the “I wish I wasn’t single” talk. Butler said she has the next 50 years to put up with someone else. It was time for her to embrace not having to put up with anyone. (She’s not cynical, we promise).

So, to all of the single people out there looking for the best ways to love yourself on this made-up Hallmark holiday, these are a few suggestions. (For the best results, do the following with other single friends).

1. Begin the day with brunch.

Fun fact: brunch makes everything better.

It’s like breakfast, but better because everyone gets to sleep in and eat yummy breakfast food at lunchtime. And who doesn’t love an excuse to drink a Mimosa or Bloody Mary in the morning? (If you are 21 or older, of course).

So girl or guy, dress in your Sunday best and hit brunch with friends; all the couples will be jealous of how you are obviously at the party table.

2. Make time to do something that makes you feel good about yourself.

Butler said she always feel better about herself after a long run. But hey, if that means you want to go to the movies, get your nails done, play some flag football, jump on a trampoline, get a massage, go skydiving, pet a

dog, set a world record for eating a 3-pound burrito the fastest, do karaoke at 2 p.m. or shave your head, who is to stop you? That’s right — no one! Hey, this is your day, do it right.

3. Go ahead and buy that thing you have been unsure whether to splurge on.

You know that money you would have had to spend buying useless presents for your significant other, whether that be for a stuffed animal that would end up in a closet, chocolate to be stuffed in the bottom of a drawer, or jewelry to be left in a jewelry box?

Go spend it on yourself! Even wrap it up if you want to. Your future self will thank you.

4. Treat yourself with some dang good food.

Food doesn’t solve all your problems, but it sure does make it easier to cope with them.

Those truffle fries from Hopdoddy? Eat ’em.

Those cookies from Tiff ’s Treats? Scarf ’em all down. The fries from Cane’s? Dip ’emin Cane’s sauce. Margaritas from Banditos?

Why not add some queso?

The best part is, you have no one to impress in a dress or a suit, so eat all the things and let the food-baby show! (Perks of being single, let me tell ya).

5. Watch a Netflix comedy special with single friends. (Trust me, watching a comedian make fun of other people will make you feel a lot better than some stupid romantic movie where everyone lives happily ever after).

I personally recommend Chris Delia’s “Incorrigible” or John Mulaney’s “New Kid in Town.” Not only are they actually hilarious, but they highlight the misadventures and misfortunes of being in a relationship.

Honestly, what could be better than that on Valentine’s Day? Hey, let’s get real. Who wants to go on a date when they could do all of this?

FOR SPENDING VALENTINE ’ S DAY WITH FRIENDS: Way back when in elementary school, Valentine’s Day was one of the most exciting holiday parties of the year. Nothing quite beat the feeling of reaching into an overly glittered mailbox (read: shoebox) at the edge of a desk and pulling out a Valentine’s Day card. Remember the hopeful anticipation?

Today, that warm, fuzzy feeling just isn’t the same when tagged in a tweet, Facebook status or Instagram caption. Check out four of the best places to find Valentine’s Day cards in Dallas to spread some modern love the old-fashioned way this Feb. 14.

1. The Gypsy Wagon | 2928 N. Henderson Ave. This eclectic North Henderson favorite is the perfect one-stop shop for all Valentine’s Day needs. The bohemian boutique is known around town for its handmade and eco-conscious gifts, clothing, jewelry and home décor at reasonable prices. Best of all,

The Gypsy Wagon sells a wide array of cute Rifle Paper Co. and band paper accessories with sayings perfect for V-day, such as “We go together like salt and pepper” and “You’re the bee’s knees.”

2. Paper Source | 8687 N. Central Expressway, Suite 721 Paper Source may be a national chain, but its crafting supplies, decorative paper, custom stationery and quirky gifts are some of the best. Head down to NorthPark Center and enter a Valentine’s Day wonderland filled with Pinterest-worthy everything. The V-day cards range from sweet and endearing to downright funny – like a stick figure, balloon-toting meatloaf stating, “Meat loaf you this much.” Feeling extra mushy?

Include couple’s crafting class passes inside the card as well.

3. Read Between The Lines | 2412 Victory Park Lane This hidden downtown gem is home to all of the incredible cards and prints students didn’t even know they needed. But don’t expect to find the typical pink and red, hugs and kisses cards here. Oh, no. Read Between The Lines is all about straight edges, metallic gold fonts and fantastic phrases that will leave customers wishing they were witty enough to think of them themselves. Check out the store’s “Whatever Forever With You” Pinterest board for even more Valentine’s

The TSCPA scholarship program aims to give back to the next generation of accountants.

Texas Society of CPAs awards accounting scholarships to five SMU students OLIVIA NGUYEN Managing Editor qonguyen@smu.edu Five SMU masters students were awarded the Accounting Education Foundation scholarship by the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs).

Emily Blake, Andrew Cates, Megan Cotton, Alison Hopkins and Aurman Sororian were selected as the 2015-16 recipients.

According to the Texas Society of CPAs, prerequisites for the scholarship include being an accounting major at a Texas college or university and having the intent of becoming a Texas Certified Public Accountant.

Recipients “also must have a high cumulative college GPA and perform well in accounting classes.”

Award recipient Andrew Cates heard of

the TSCPA through the head of the masters accounting program, Greg Sommers, and decided to apply.

“The application process was relatively easy and required filling out their online application as well as showing the TSCPA that I had filed an application of intent to sit for the CPA exam in Texas with the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA),” Cates said.

Cates, working toward a Masters of Science in Accounting (MSA) was grateful to win the award to help fund his future.

“I am thankful for the award,” Cates said. “It will help me leave SMU without student debt, allowing me to start my career debt free.”

A total of 51 students across Texas were awarded the accounting scholarships this year. The full list can be found at the Texas Society of CPAs website.

4. Swoozie’s | 8417 Preston Center Plaza In addition to charming Valentine’s Day-themed snail mail, this party store has everything required to throw the biggest and best V-day bash in Dallas this Sunday.

With its large selection of tableware, hostess gifts and designer stationery, be sure to add Swoozie’s to any pre-party to-do lists. And for all the single ladies out there celebrating the 14th’s festivities, this Plaza at Preston Center shop has just as many Galentine’s Day cards (“Cupid is stupid”) as it does Valentine’s Day cards (“We’re a perfect match”).

FOR SPENDING VALENTINE ’ S DAY WITH YOUR S IGNIFI CANT OTHE R : Looking for a romantic movie to watch this Valentine’s Day? The SMU CampusWeekly team pulled together a list of the best movies to watch this year to keep you, your friends and your significant other in the spirit. So grab some festive candy, chocolate, popcorn, a blanket and enjoy!

1. “Crazy, Stupid, Love” “Crazy, Stupid, Love” follows the lives of multiple characters and couples as they try to navigate the modern dating world.

Cal Weaver, played by Steve Carell, is living what he believes is the perfect life until he learns that his wife Emily, played

by Julianne Moore, is cheating on him and asks for a divorce.

Cal later befriends Jacob Palmer, played

by Ryan Gosling, who takes him under his wing. “Crazy, Stupid, Love” is a classic romantic comedy that even the boys will enjoy watching.

2. “10 Things I Hate About You” The late-1990s favorite follows two sisters, Kat and Bianca Stratford played by Julia Stiles and Larisa Oleynik and their respective romances with Patrick Verona, played by Heath Ledger, and Cameron James, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

According to her father’s rules, Bianca cannot date until her older sister does.

So strings are pulled to set Kat up, and naturally drama ensues.

“The Notebook” The quintessential romantic movie, “The Notebook” follows two young lovers Noah Calhoun, played by Ryan Gosling, and Allie, played by Rachel McAdams, as they fight against the opinions of their parents and the longevity of summer love.

The two inevitably become separated,

but reunite later in life when Allie is about to be married to another man.

Keep tissues nearby for this one, it’s a tearjerker.

3. “50 First Dates” In “50 First Dates” Henry, played by Adam Sandler, quite literally takes Lucy, played by Drew Barrymore, on 50 first dates. What he doesn’t know is that Lucy suffers from short-term memory loss, so every morning Henry has to win her over again.

With a protective family and group of friends, Henry must prove he truly loves Lucy and will stand by her.

4. “P.S. I Love You” This emotional movie follows Holly Kennedy, played by Hilary Swank, after her husband Gerry, played by Gerard Butler, dies. Gerry plans ahead for Holly’s 30th birthday and takes her on a journey as she follows a series of letters.

During her journey, she learns to process her grief, enjoy life and move on.

5. “Jerry Maguire” This ’80s movie is great for sports lovers and romance-movie lovers alike. Jerry Maguire, played by Tom Cruise, is a hotshot sports agent in the middle of a battle with his conscience about the industry.

When he leaves his company to start his own, single mother Dorothy Boyd, played

by Renee Zellweger, is the only one to follow him.

The story follows their tumultuous romance and struggle as they try to support their only client Rod Tidwell, played by Cuba Gooding Jr. Spoiler: The last line of the movie is a famous one.

Honorable mentions: “The Vow,” “Stuck in Love,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “Pretty Woman,” “Pride and Prejudice,” “Dirty Dancing,” “Sleepless in Seattle” and “ Titanic.”

And for those who hate Valentine’s Day: Check out “Her,” “500 Days of Summer,” “He’s Just Not that Into You” and “How to be Single.”

COMMENTARY

Editor’s take on Men’s Basketball effort NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu I don’t think anyone will argue with me when I say that the 2015-16 basketball season got off to a rough start. With the announcement of SMU’s postseason ban and Hall of Fame Head Coach Larry Brown’s suspension, things were not looking too great for the Mustangs.

Despite the negative press and attention that the bad news garnered, I am very proud of how our team handled that adversity and came back.

It would have been easy to give up and not care without the postseason to play for. The players, especially the seniors,

could have pouted the season away and kept complaining about the NCAA. But instead of giving up, our boys went on an 18-game winning streak and became one of the top college basketball stories in the nation.

I mean, it is hard not to be proud when you SportsCenter and see the commentators talking about SMU being “America’s Team.”

What started out as an embarrassment for SMU turned into a season of pride. The team has represented SMU and our culture well. Sports are often a reflection of character and life lessons, and our team has demonstrated these lessons well. In life sometimes unfair things happen and one is left to

decide what kind of response to have.

Our basketball team, responding to the unfairness, has shown great character and motivation. They have shown that victory is not always about postseason glory and winning, but can be found in effort, hard work and principled response to events.

So thank you, Men’s Basketball, for standing up and fighting with character despite unfair circumstances.

And while postseason glory would be a nice reward for your efforts, know that there is a campus standing behind you who is proud of the efforts you have put out throughout this season. Moody Magic is alive and well because of you.

Women’s tennis opens spring play undefeated BRECK SPENCER Sports Editor bspencer@smu.edu The SMU women’s tennis team is off to a strong start to the 2016 season, having beaten all five of its opponents so far. Although the Mustangs’ haven’t had to play a conference match, they have shown formidable strength, most recently by sweeping Northwestern State.

In its first match of the season against Abilene Christian, SMU quickly won two of the three doubles matches in order to get the first of four points. In singles, Mary Wright and Hristina Dishkova each won their respective matches for SMU, giving the Mustangs a 3-0 lead. After losing the next singles match, making the overall score 3-1, SMU’s Macie Elliott won her singles match 7-5, 6-4 to clinch the victory for the Mustangs.

The Mustangs carried the momentum from their first win into the next pair of matches against McNeese State and Sam Houston State. In the season’s second match, the Mustangs won the first four points (one doubles point, three singles points) to seal the win against McNeese State, and continued their dominance as they swept Sam Houston State the following match.

While the wins showcased the Mustangs’ talent and potential for the season, they offered a platform for senior Dishkova to prove herself, as she won both her singles and doubles matches in the opening

competitions.

Dishkova’s impressive performance was recognized as she earned the honor of AAC female tennis player of the week.

SMU and Dishkova continued their pursuit of an undefeated start to the season against Montana State. Dishkova and her partner senior Vaszillisza Bulgakova clinched the doubles point for SMU, defeating Montana State’s line one team and giving the Mustangs’ a 1-0 lead.

Bulgakova also won her singles match in an authoritative fashion, only giving up two games. SMU lost only one singles match against Montana State, making the final score 6-1 and continuing the undefeated start.

The Mustangs’ most recent match, against Northwestern State ended in similar fashion, sweeping the competition 7-0. SMU quickly won two doubles matches, claiming the doubles point. In singles, the Mustangs throttled the competition, as Ana PerezLopez and Wright won their respective matches 6-1, 6-1 and 6-0, 6-2, putting the Mustangs up 3-0. Dasha Sharapova clinched the match for SMU, winning her singles match 6-1, 6-3. Sharapova’s win improved her combined singles and doubles record to 8-0 on the season, and helped SMU improve its team record to 5-0.

SMU will host the University of Oklahoma at the Ann and Brad Brookshire Family Pavilion Feb. 13 and the University of Nevada Feb. 14, before traveling to TCU for its first away match of the season.

‘The Finest Hours’ actors discuss roles, setting RILEY COVEN Arts & Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu

The SMU Campus Weekly participated in a conference call with Chris Pine and Casey Affleck in support of their latest film, “The Finest Hours.”

The film tells the story of one man’s courage and what he was willing to sacrifice to save a downed ship amid one of the biggest storms in New England’s history.

Pine plays Bernie Webber, the inexperienced captain attempting the rescue, and Affleck plays the downed tanker’s chief engineer.

RILEY COVEN: What drew you to this project?

CASEY AFFLECK: You know, there are a lot of things actually to this. One was that it was filmed in Massachusetts, which I just got to see... I [also] like what Disney is doing. I feel like they make a great effort to make movies that have a strong message and a good story, good characters.

This movie is particularly exciting. It also supports the characters and thefcore values of Disney. And I might sound old-fashioned and hokey, but it’s kind of refreshing to see a movie like that.

SONIA: This is Sonia from Boston University. My question actually revolves around this, the location. I know that you’ve done quite a few films in the New England/ Boston area. What exactly is it that draws you back to your hometown and how did your familiarity with the area affect the filming process?

AFFLECK: That’s a good

question. I guess I like coming back here just because I’m from here. It’s nice to come home. I’m in California for the time being, so I can work, that’s where the industry is.

But I’d much rather be here.

Boston is also a great place to make movies because they’ve been making movies here for a long time. They’ve got really good crews there, which is not always the case and everyone’s professional. When the movie comes out and you run into the people who you made it with, people in Boston don’t mind telling you if they hated it.

So it’s nice to know where you stand. And you don’t have to guess about whether or not they actually liked it or not.

That was a joke.

NICK: Alex, do you want to go ahead and ask your question for Casey? Alex, from UC Santa Barbara, are you on?

ALEX: Yes, hi there.

Actually, I drive back to Boston so much. I’m from the area myself, and I’m out in California now.

AFFLECK: It’s horrible out there in California especially when you come from the great Commonwealth of

Massachusetts, why wouldn’t you want to come work here?

ALEX: Yeah, we talked a lot about the ending of the film, but I was wondering, living around there, growing up around there, was the story known at all before your approach to the film?

AFFLECK: I hadn’t heard it before. I’m not totally sure that it’s true. But they say it is and I guess that’s enough to make a movie.

When I did a little research, I was skeptical. I went to the Coast Guard Museum and turns out it all really happened.

It’s quite an amazing story. It’s great when you can find films totally forgotten story like this, that really, you could write a book about it. You could bring cheer to the story in a lot of ways.

But these days, movies are pretty great for, making a spectacle. All the amazing things that they can do now in movies, they can really bring something like this to life, the scale of which would be hard to imagine if it weren’t a movie. No matter how much I heard about it or read about it, I was still really surprised,

by how big the ship was. Just think how big those waves must have been to split a 500foot oil tanker in half. It’s the kind of thing you want to see someone make a movie of so you can go watch it.

RILEY: I wanted to know how the film being set in 1952 changed your approach to the performance?

AFFLECK: Well, that’s a good question. There’s a lot of conversation about whether or not we try to emulate the style, the acting style, of the movies from that period because stylistically the movie looks and feels a lot like a movie from back then, albeit also color and gigantic and awesome in all of the ways that digital cinema is now. But in other ways, in the writing and story telling, thematically, it sort of feels like an old movie.

So should people behave that way as well, and we decided no. So really I just approach it like any other movie the best you can.

KRISTIN: I was reading in the production notes that you had gotten to shoot at the

actual Coast Guard station in Chatham where Bernie and the crew returned after the rescue mission. I understood, obviously, it was very emotional. I just wonder if you could kind of describe for us what that felt like?

CHRIS PINE: We shot at the lighthouse that attached to the Coast Guard station there in Chatham. We got a chance to visit the interior of the station, but I don’t think we shot any more interiors there. But we did get to go to the cafeteria, to the same spot where Bernie and his boys took a photo after, right after the night had ended.

You can’t help but be affected by that. They take out the actual CG 36500 in the bar, and they go out to the open waters where it happened, was quite something too.

WYATT: Were either of you able to meet any of the actual survivors from the SS Pendleton and if you were, how

did that affect how you portrayed your role?

AFFLECK: No I didn’t get the opportunity, I wish I had.

But we got to see it on T2, a boat that’s similar to a T2 and get a sense of what that was like, which is pretty amazing.

MORGAN: My question is for Chris. You play Bernard Weber, who’s the main character of this film. What elements did you bring to your character to honor Weber’s legacy?

PINE: I didn’t know Bernie, and really had only a sense of who he was from talking to Andy Fitzgerald who was on the boat with him that night and Moe Gutthrew, who’s his best friend.

There’s an autobiographical account that Bernie wrote about the night and then obviously, the book, “The Finest Hours.”

And a little audio clip of Bernie describing the events of that night.

Those were kind of the things that I used to cull an idea of who the man might have been. But from the script that I

smudailycampus.com/ae smucw_editorial@smu.edu was given, he was a simple guy that loved his job and loved the waters and knew what he was doing out there. But he was obviously affected by, a tragedy that happened a year before and didn’t know if he was up for the task of going out that night. But I do love the idea of a regular man up against seemingly insurmountable odds. More than anything, I kind of related to Bernie’s fear.

Bernie is a man that wears his heart on his sleeve. And he’s not like many of us that put on all this armor and try to be macho and tough. Bernie doesn’t think that way. He’s just kind of wears his heart on his sleeve, wants to do a good job and loves his wife.

FEMALE: So my question was that Bernie’s character was a really huge rule follower in the film at the beginning. And then at the end, he kind of learned the limits of being a rule follower and kind of broke away from that. Were there any situations in your life where you have broken the rules or taken risks in acting

or in life?

PINE: Nothing that comes to mind. But that seems to be that theme. We all like stories of the mavericks and the guys that go against the grain. I think what we enjoy about men like that is they usually operate from the sense of an inner moral compass. And I think part of Bernie’s evolution, it’s not that following rules are bad, it’s just that Bernie, by following rules so closely, had lost his voice. By learning to speak up for himself and to trust his instincts, trust his gut, trust his knowledge of those waters, I think that’s really good.

The story there and although I can’t think of anything personally that comes to mind, I think all those kinds of experiences that on a daily basis, balancing our, understanding ourselves, communicating ourselves and looking at whatever social framework.

AFFLECK: What Chris is doing there is he’s telling some of the bigger themes of the picture. It’s about the inner compass of a man. There’s the compass, they lose their compass and they still find their way because there’s an inner moral compass that guides them. The guiding light here, for Disney, for Chris, for all of us is selflessness, and heroism in the face of 50-foot waves.

JESUS MONTERO: Both of your characters are faced with not only overcoming a big storm but also there’s personal struggles to overcome themselves. Now how can you relate to your character and their determination in the role like that portraying that when filming?

PINE: Well I guess in our own tiny way, being in the film business is hard enough and there’s a lot of luck involved in it obviously. You face an incredible amount of rejection and I assume, just by being alive, people felt, not a part of the group or not liked or that they don’t have friends, don’t have as many friends as they want or, feeling out of place.

I certainly saw that in Bernie.

It’s a great thing about what we get to do as actors is that even though I’ll never know what it’s really like to be a Coast Guardsman, or really never know what it’s like to go up against 70-foot waves and zero visibility and what it’s like to rescue men off a split oil tanker. There are certain kinds of general human emotions and feelings that you can attach to and bring your own experience to.

FEMALE: Did you learn or take away anything from the experience of playing your respective characters? If so, what was it?

PINE: Well you know, what I liked about Bernie is

Photo by Facebook.

that he’s a simple guy and I don’t mean that derogatorily.

I love Bernie because he loves his job and wants to do well at his job, and loves his woman well, and have a bunch of kids, and live happily ever afterwards. He did for a long time. There’s an honesty and a truth to him.

He’s just a good solid man who goes about business not seeking any sort of pat on the back. It’s just because he wants to do right and he knows that’s the only way he can function really. I think about how there is a purity in wanting to do your job well and to serve other people because you don’t need much more than that.

Oftentimes, in our business, it’s all about stuff that’s completely opposite from that which is getting your picture taken and Twittering and all that kind of shi* that I just think takes away from you know, those good oldfashioned values.

AFFLECK: Yeah, my Character had a journey. I really didn’t learn anything from the guy. I didn’t because there wasn’t a whole lot of information about him. So he’s more or less just a piece of fiction of the screen writers who did a really good job creating a character that fit into the story. But I didn’t have that same opportunity to kind of study his life. So, I just had to sort of make some stuff up.

FASHION

UNT fashion merchandising grad takes Dallas’ style scene by storm MADELEINE KALB Contributing Writer eward@smu.edu Calli Anne Buckelew, or _Baethoven_ on Instagram, is a University of North Texas fashion merchandising graduate who is hyping up the Dallas scene in many different creative channels.

By day, Buckelew works as a brand manager at the Irving, Texas-based licensing firm Bioworld.

At Bioworld, she manages 30 different brands including Cartoon Network and her favorite TV show, “American Horror Story.”

On the weekends and evenings, the 25-year-old wears a few other hats as a fashion photoshoot stylist, bartender and, most recently, pop-culture writer and brand manager for “Cosign Magazine.”

“I thought there would be a styling job at Cosign,” Buckelew said. “I got there and they actually needed someone to write an article.

So I said yeah, I went to college and I can punctuate. So I did it.”

Buckelew interviewed and wrote an article on Dallas rocker Jesse Frye for the February issue of “Cosign” and is expected to interview

Fetty Wap for the upcoming March issue.

Buckelew discovered she had a creative knack in her fashion marketing class at Birdville High School in North Richland Hills. She got her first taste of styling when she directed the high school senior fashion show and loved it. At UNT, Buckelew was brought on as the photoshoot stylist for the student-founded “Method 7” magazine and later on as a stylist intern at “Austere Magazine.”

Writing for a magazine was not something Buckelew had previously considered or had experience in before “Cosign Magazine.”

“Cosign Magazine” is much more than a magazine. Since its conception in 2011 by CEO and founder K.G. Graham, the company has evolved into a Dallas lifestyle brand hosting all sorts of music, fashion and nightlife events.

“If you want to be something in Dallas, we Cosign this brand or this person,” Buckelew said.

Buckelew relates the “Cosign” experience as a full package lifestyle experience.

“It’s like opening up ‘Cosmo’ and I can read what I should be eating, what I should be wearing, what band I should be listening to but on a local Dallas scale,” Buckelew said.

K.G. Graham founded “Cosign” on the mission of providing a media platform for

creatives as well as to set an example to young up-and-comers in the industry. “Cosign” hosts monthly release parties in which only 100 copies of the magazine are for sale at $15 a copy. Buckelew said the release parties always sell out of magazines and always fill the club to capacity.

The most recent February release party was held at Epocha Dallas and featured a guest appearance by the celebrity cover model Rosa Acosta.

On Feb. 6, Buckelew styled a photoshoot for “Cosign Magazine” that featured fashion trends for South by Southwest (SXSW).

She is also simultaneously working on

developing an article that will chronicle her experience with different dating apps — all the while successfully moving forward in her day job as a licensing brand manager and sometimes bartender at Cool Beans in Denton, Texas.

“The difference with my parents’ generation and myself is that I said I want to do fashion.

I want to style,” Buckelew said. “My dad told me I wouldn’t make any money. I put in the hard work and have many jobs so that I don’t get stuck doing a job I don’t want to do.”

It is safe to say that sleep is the last priority for this young Dallas creative who is just beginning to make her mark.

Top moments from Chanel’s Spring Haute Couture show EMILY WARD Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu Welcome to Karl Lagerfeld’s Grand Palais dollhouse, where the world’s top models get to play designer dress up. For Chanel’s Spring 2016 Haute Couture show in Paris, the 82-yearold head designer and creative director outdid himself once again — despite the rave reviews he received for the Chanel airport terminal installed during the Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear show last October.

Staged in a faux garden complete with a blue sky, the dollhouse featured garage-like doors that slid open to reveal more than 60 models, including Kendall Jenner and both Gigi and Bella Hadid.

"Star Wars”-esque updos, Cleopatra makeup, fanny packs and structured sleeves dominated the wood-and-grass catwalk, which also showcased Chanelalum Cara Delevingne sitting front row with her dog Leo.

The Chanel Spring 2016 Haute Couture show opened with a large wooden dollhouse set on a lush green and perfectly manicured lawn.

The building gradually transformed, all thanks to sliding doors, to expose 19 separate rooms on three different levels.

In the lowest center room of the dollhouse, Lagerfeld presented his bride, Argentinian model Mica Arganaraz, and groom to the crowd.

In the company of over 60 women, just one male model walked for Chanel. Lagerfeld’s male muse Baptiste Giabiconi wore a structured tweed jacket in taupe with caramel-colored patchwork trousers and heeled boots.

Kendall Jenner strutted down the catwalk in a black, beaded ballgown featuring an empire waist and matching round-toe black cork wedges with curved heels.

Bella Hadid marched to the music in a romantic lace dress complete with sheer paneling, shoulder cutouts, peach floral appliqués and a bejeweled

fanny pack.

The older Hadid, Gigi, who walked in the Versace show the day before, took to the runway in a sparkling champagne-colored cape worn over a tiered midi dress in similar neutral tones.

Many of the looks in this Paris Fashion Week collection included fanny packs — the perfect size for iPhones and iPads — in various textures and colors, secured around the waist by chains and leather belts.

Each female model sported slickedback hair in a low cylindrical updo, since coined by hair stylist Sam McKnight as the “Chanel croissant,” that was reminiscent of Princess Leia’s iconic hairstyle.

Though the haute couture show nodded toward the future, especially with the materials of its dresses and elaborate hair, Chanel’s eye makeup favored the past, picking an overdrawn Cleopatra-like double eyeliner in very black.

Fraternities do not promote brotherhood Editor comments on Greek Life at SMU Ah brotherhood, the rallying call of fraternities everywhere. It is the central principle that these age-old organizations stand behind, but how well do they actually fulfill on their promises of brotherhood? To me it seems as if the fraternity system has morphed into a corruption of the term, not actually promoting anything close to brotherhood.

I suppose that much of this debate could revolve around semantics and defining what brotherhood is, so I will define what I mean when I speak about fraternities and brotherhood. While there appears to be several different definitions of brotherhood, two common definitions prevail.

The first being a description of a relationship between brothers, with the second being an organization of people with similar interests, religion or trade.

While the second definition holds some weight, as the fraternities seem to hold a homogeneous interest, it is the spirit of the first definition that the fraternities appear to pride themselves on. It is this concept of fellowship, brotherly relationships, and being men that seems to be the draw of these organizations.

But from what I see this language appears to be a hollow veil, one that does not actually hold up in the functioning of fraternities. I would be horrified if my actual brother behaved toward me in the same ways that fraternity brothers do among each other. Often it appears as if fraternities promote conformity and following orders rather than individuality, manliness and true brotherhood.

But where do I get the evidence for this claim? I suppose I could speculate on the worst of what happens throughout pledgeship and the “brotherhood building” process based on reports of tragic events, but I don’t even need that to prove the point. All I need is what I see pledges subjected to on a daily basis.

I have personally witnessed pledges forced to do the laundry of older brothers, change their hairstyles on the whim of the fraternity, be forced to carry coins or tobacco products to surrender to other brothers as needed, and consistently fit

into a “dress code” to keep a consistent look among the fraternity members.

These acts all appear to be more about conformity than brotherhood and frankly they are unacceptable. They are far more of a subjugation of a subordinate pledge to a superior brother, rather than mutual support among equal brothers.

That is not what actual brotherhood is about bonds that actual brothers share.

While brothers may fight and disagree, they certainly do not use power to lord over or subjugate each other. Instead true brothers share a mutual, equal bond while attempting to grow into better, individual strong men.

While I suppose that this mutual suffering among pledges may create some form of bond, that’s an artificial brotherhood caused by an artificial problem. Manhood or brotherhood is not

about using your power to force others to do things for you and to be just like you, regardless of their consent or not.

The sad thing is, the system does not have to be this way. There is no logical reason why you would need to make your pledges or future initiates subjugate themselves to buying tobacco or doing laundry; the system could actually fulfill on its promises if it was cleaned up a bit. But for now actions like those seem to me to invalidate the whole meaning.

While one fraternity may not haze as much as the next, the presence of this in the system is what concerns me.

You can do all of the community service and host all the parties you want to cover up this pseudo-brotherhood, but the practices that members carry out during pledgeship seem to undermine the whole principle.

Continuing to hold that fraternities create and promote brotherhood seems to me to be logically fallacious and untrue, and I hope that the pledging process continues to be reformed to rectify this fact so that the fraternities of Southern Methodist University might actually uphold their lofty ideals.

CHILDCARE

Guests were treated to delicious snacks throughout the day, such as mini Sprinkles cupcakes.

Student blogger attends Create + Cultivate conference EMILY WARD Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu Create + Cultivate, a creative conference and online platform for female entrepreneurs in the digital space, recently visited Texas for the first time. The gathering hosted more than 400 women and featured speakers prominent in the fashion blogging sphere, such as Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam and Emily Schuman of Cupcakes & Cashmere.

Senior communications major and recent blogger Molly O’Connor jumped at the chance to purchase her ticket to the popular event back in November.

Although it quickly sold out, O’Connor now spills all the secrets of Create + Cultivate’s first trip to Dallas.

1. Who attended Create + Cultivate?

Shockingly enough, I was in the minority by being one of the youngest attendees there.

I would say most women were in their upper 20s or somewhere in their 30s. There were not many other college students, that is for sure. Create + Cultivate was not the place to be shy, however. Everyone threw themselves into conversations, ready to share their passions and hear the insight of those around them.

2. What was your favorite part of the conference?

I absolutely loved all of the panelists and keynote speakers (including Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr, the co-founders of Clique Media Group), but I benefited the most from the more personal mentor sessions. We had two 30-minute mentor sessions and my first was with lifestyle blogger Maxie McCoy, who absolutely blew me away. She is one of the most brilliant, energetic and genuine women I have ever encountered and really

focused on the point that content can only get you so far — real empathy happens in person.

3. Do you have a most memorable moment?

Meeting my favorite fashion blogger, Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam, is definitely my most memorable moment from all of Create + Cultivate. I am the Packed Party ambassador for Dallas and Julia and the founder of Packed Party, Jordan, are best friends, so she knew who I was. When Julia said she had heard about me from Jordan and was so happy she got to meet me, I was just over the moon with happiness. She is just as sweet, classy and beautiful in person as she appears to be on her blog.

4. What was the best advice you received?

It is near to impossible to pick just one, but Texas-based artist Matt Crump kept reiterating how there is never going to be a right time for you to start creating, so quit waiting. I loved when he said that if something is your passion then it should be invigorating to you, meaning you will be able to produce a high quantity amount of high quality content. I think too many people use time as a justification, so I loved his no excuses attitude.

5. Last, but certainly not least, what was your favorite outfit of the day?

There was this one fashionista who I passed several times throughout the day and I could not stop staring every time I saw her! She was wearing this fabulous marble top paired with pale pink pants and super retro, shimmery thick soled sneakers that I could never in a million years pull off, no matter how hard I tried. Major fashion envy on my part, and I am sure I was not the only one.
