Ryan Miller/ THE DAILY CAMPUS

SMU undergraduate and graduate students are frustrated with the timing of traffic lights on Hillcrest Avenue and Daniel Avenue that generated more than 4,000 red-light tickets in 2015.

Caught on Camera Red lights around SMU campus cause frustration CAROLINE POWERS Contributing Writer cpowers@smu.edu SMU graduate student Mandy Kline was furious when she received her fourth ticket in less than a year. All of the tickets were for violations right around the SMU campus. All of them were for running red lights that were caught on cameras posted at the intersection. She’s not alone. Many students say they have the same problem. Kline said she believes the money collected by cities from traffic fines is the driving force behind the cameras, not safety. There were approximately 8,675 total citations issued by University Park police in 2015. Approximately 4,482 were issued at the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and Daniel Avenue, according to officials. “The idea that this is some sort of hidden tax really upsets me the most,” Kline said University Park Police Sgt. Curtis Ellenburg said that the red light cameras are used for safety

reasons and placed at intersections that are hard for officers to monitor, not to raise money for the city. “These intersections have high vehicular and pedestrian traffic. There are some intersections that have a lot of both. It’s easier to enforce laws with the cameras and hopefully makes the intersections safer,” Ellenburg said in a phone interview. “Pedestrian traffic is one thing that we have a lot of around here and I think it really helps people pay attention and to be a little more careful.” The devices work by triggering a camera as a vehicle passes over a sensor in the intersection when the light is red. The camera takes pictures of the vehicle’s front license plate and driver. A citation is then mailed to the vehicle’s registered owner, supposedly after a police officer checks the photo of the driver against the driver’s license photo of the registered owner. The fee for a red light in University Park is $75. If not paid within 30 days from the date of issuance, a $25 penalty is assessed. “Before a camera is installed at a particular

intersection, the company that we use does a survey to determine if the spot is hazardous or has a high level of traffic. After, they make a decision to see if it’s a place that needs a camera,” Ellenburg said. Supporters of the cameras said they prevent crashes, especially T-bone-style accidents from drivers running red lights. The intent of the hidden camera system is good because people become aware and watch their speed,” said Stephanie Cham, an SMU student majoring in music therapy and piano performance. University Park Police controls four cameras at three intersections near SMU campus. The Hillcrest Avenue and Daniel Avenue intersection receives a lot of vehicular and foot traffic. A lot of SMU students walk across this intersection, Ellenburg said. The Dickens Avenue and Lovers Lane intersection also has a lot of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and is near an elementary school and park. The Lovers Lane and Preston Road

intersection has a lot of vehicular traffic and some pedestrian traffic. The shopping center has been an issue in past years, Ellenburg said, because vehicles had trouble safely backing out of parking spots when trying to go southbound on Preston Road. “The cameras are all basically at intersections that we feel like have a higher potential of accidents,” Ellenburg said. Kline was cited in January while driving in the intersection of Daniel Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue, at the northwest corner of campus. The traffic light turned yellow as she hit the intersection and was red before she completely passed through, she said. Kline said she would have been in the middle of the intersection if she had slammed on the brakes. “Having my head thrash forward from slamming on the brakes does not sound like safe driving,” she said. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that red-light camera enforcement

along with public awareness can modify driving behavior and has been shown to reduce red-light violations and intersection crashes. “I was in a minor accident. The light went yellow and I did not have the ability to stop in a safe amount of time. The car in front of me suddenly stopped and I rear-ended them,” Kline said. Other studies show cameras actually increase those rear-end accidents when drivers know that the red-light camera is there and slam on the brakes at the last minute. Leah Johnson, an SMU sophomore majoring in applied physiology, said she also has trouble timing the lights around campus and finds herself sometimes running through yellow lights. “It’s not like I am purposely speeding, it is just hard to stop in a safe amount of time,” she said. There is no federal rule for how long a yellow light should be illuminated, but the U.S. Department of Transportation recommends three to six seconds. The standard definition of a safe yellow light is arguably hard to nail down, depending on the intersection. In 1985 the Institute of Transportation Engineers proposed a method to set yellow-light intervals. ITE recommendations aren’t binding,

but they are widely used. The formula relies on four factors to determine how long a yellow light should last: vehicle approach speed, driver perception-reaction time, deceleration rate and grade of the road. Now, for the first time since 1985, the organization is reviewing a proposal that could become its first recommended standard for determining the ideal length of a yellow light. Using the formula, studies suggest that increasing the length of a short yellow light to meet the proposed standard could reduce red-light running by 30 to 50 percent. The Campus Weekly timed the yellow light at Daniel and Hillcrest using a cell phone timer. The light appeared to remain yellow for approximately 3.8 seconds over 15 timed lights. This is within the ITE guidelines, although on the lower end. “It seems like the yellow timing definitely has an effect on red-light running,” Johnson said. To contest a red-light ticket, individuals should follow the directions listed on the ticket to request this option from the court. Don’t assume that because a camera issued the violation that no one will be there to oppose you. According to Texas police departments, an officer reviews the footage of each violation and signs off before a ticket is issued.

The Hilltop Excellence Awards following the Honors Convocation recognized those who have left a lasting and positive impact during their time at SMU. The highest recognition, the “M” award, was presented to students and faculty who are “an inspiration to others, giving unselfishly of their time and talents in order to make the university, and indeed the world, a better place,” according to the SMU website. Student recipients of the award included Carlton Adams, Max Agadoni, D’Marquis Allen, Jacob Conway, Tien Dang, Emily Dombrowski, Jamie Hinz, Justin Mueller, J. Barrett “JB” Stockslager and Charlie Weber. The faculty and staff recipients included Charles Curran, Michael Hogan, Robert Krout, Stephen Rankin and Martha Starke. Peers and members of the SMU community nominated the recipients. Awards at the Honors Convocation included new member inductions into honor societies, school and department awards, national fellowships, and distinguished scholarships.

SMU celebrated the reopening of parts of Fondren Library April 15 after year-long renovations. At the 12:30 p.m. ceremony, guests, faculty, staff, students and alumni were invited to attend the ribbon-cutting, followed by tours of the new reading room. Brad Cheves, vice president for development and external affairs, welcomed guests and introduced speakers, including Student Body President Carlton Adams, President R. Gerald Turner, the Dean and Director of Central University Libraries Gillian McCombs and Micheal Boone, chair of the SMU board of trustees. Alumna, board member and former First Lady Laura Bush also attended. “Today’s event underscores what has been important to the university throughout time,” President Turner said. “And those are the enduring values our founders gave us and are relevant today. The library here on the main quad is central to teaching and learning.”

Three main donors — the Fondren Foundation, the Hillcrest Foundation and the Hoblitzelle Foundation — were recognized for their tremendous support of the library renovations. “It was only when the Fondrens gave their first gift that we were able to have a library,” Turner said. “The Fondren family has been central to the development of our libraries and many other key projects, like the Fondren Science Building and subsequent renovations.” In 1940, the completed Fondren Library was dedicated by Mrs. W. W. Fondren, and served as the first library on campus. Throughout the years, subsequent buildings have been added to the original library to accommodate the growing number of students and faculty. Friday’s event celebrated improvements to the main library complex, featuring the Centennial Reading Room, classrooms, offices, an exhibit hall, and more. Turner then introduced Bush, who graduated from SMU and also worked as a librarian before becoming the first lady. Bush spoke of her experience at SMU and her love for libraries.

Mustangs for Life displays ‘Memorial of Innocents,’ sparks controversy on campus ALYSSA WENTZEL Copy Editor awentzel@smu.edu Mustangs for Life’s “Memorial of Innocents” display has sparked a strong response of opposition by various students on campus. The SMU Women’s Interest Network (WIN), along with other campus groups, is planning to stage a counter-display on Dallas Hall Lawn April 25. WIN President Adé Guobadia said she met with Luz Hernandez of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas yesterday to discuss strategies for the counterprotest. Individual students are also turning to social media to share their opinions of “Memorial of Innocents.” SMU student Carson

Wright posted this along with a video on Facebook in response to the display: “The anti-choice display on SMU’s Dallas Hall lawn is severely misguided,” Wright wrote. “A group on campus wants to talk to us about abortion — so, let’s talk. They’re welcome to practice free speech on this campus, and so are we. Make a counterargument.” As of noon April 19, the video was shared and liked over 300 times. It has more than 38,000 views. The “Memorial of Innocnets” is a display of more than 2,000 crosses that was set up on Dallas Hall Lawn April 17. The group said each cross represents an abortion performed in the United States during a single day. Two students vandalized the display after it was set up later that night. Police reportedly stopped them

and asked if they were supposed to be there, to which the students responded “yes.” Thirty Mustangs for Life volunteers showed up Monday at 6 a.m. to set the display back up again, according to member Cody Barras. Mustangs for Life is a nonreligiously affiliated student organization that “honors the dignity of every human life by being a positive source of education, love and service to inspire a culture of life on SMU’s campus,” according to the group’s website. “Our motivation behind ‘Memorial of Innocents’ was firstly to remember the 2,904 children who are killed every day. We believe these children deserve to be remembered,” said Camille McCarty, president of Mustangs for Life. “Another purpose is to raise awareness, to make people realize the

gravity of their action and inaction. We want people to think. These are individual people we are killing and they cannot be ignored.” Sophomore Jessica Jancose is frustrated with the display as she thinks it oversimplifies the issue of anti-abortion. “It takes work to really understand the issue of abortion and access to reproductive care for a lot of women,” Jancose said. “It’s not just an issue of religion it’s also an issue of systemic poverty, systemic racism, socioeconomic class. A lot of women don’t have access to information about sex education. How can you even expect women to avoid pregnancy in the first place, if they’re not even being taught practices to prevent pregnancies?” Jancose also doesn’t agree with the use of crosses to represent a life. “A

cross is not necessarily representative of a life. What if a mother is Muslim or what if she is Atheist?”Jancose said. Jancose said abortions are going to happen whether they are legal or not. “Access to abortion doesn’t get rid of abortion. Abortions will occur no matter what. It’s just a matter of how safe they are,” Jancose said. But Jancose sees that the display has started an important dialogue on campus. “I recognize and respect the right to free speech. I have noticed that this display has sparked a lot of dialogue,” Jancose said. “I was just walking to the library and I overheard two people talking about how a woman’s right to choose should be allowed.” McCarty also recognizes the controversy “Memorial of Innocents” has started, but believes it is a necessary part in raising awareness.

Last spring, SMU fans left the first spring game under Chad Morris buzzing about one player: Courtland Sutton. The future freshman All-America selection had six receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown. Four and a half months later, he scored a touchdown on SMU’s first play of the season. Offering up some symmetry, he hauled in a 40yard catch on the first play SMU’s 2016 spring game. The similarities would end there. Sutton ceded the attention to a pair of redshirt freshmen receivers, James Proche and Alex Honey. Honey, whom the SMU coaches named the spring offensive MVP before the game, caught a leaping touchdown on a fade route, showing off Sutton-like ball skills. Proche, who Morris praised in press conferences earlier this spring, had five catches for 48 yards and was targeted as much as any other receiver. He would have had another — possibly even a touchdown — had Darrell Colbert’s deep ball not hung in the air too long and negated the three steps of separation he had. That wasn’t all. The coaches gave Aphonso Thomas, the lone freshman early enrollee in the 2016 class, a big workload carrying the ball. He responded with 126 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Not bad for the player who Morris said was so overwhelmed a month ago, it was like he was “drinking out of a fire hose.”

CANDACE JOHNSON/SMU Campus Weekly

Players on the field at the SMU spring game.

Young, talented receivers getting lots of snaps and making impressive plays is a welcome sign for a team that struggled to find consistency behind Sutton last year. It’s even more impressive considering SMU quarterbacks Ben Hicks and Darrell Colbert went a combined 18-of-51 passing as Matt Davis sat out with a foot injury. “Alex early on was trying to figure it all out,” Morris said. “Around practice three or four, you saw a light click on for him and he just really kept coming on and growing and using his size and his speed and strength.” Thomas’ big game is important for a running back group that lacked depth behind Xavier Jones and Braeden West and lost its only big back in Prescott Line. Jones and West are speedy backs who had impressive freshman seasons, but had ball security issues. Thomas brings strength and a willingness to run through contact. “He started spring out just a little overwhelmed,” Morris said. “He’s done a really good job of absorbing and taking everything in. I’m really proud of him.” Heavy workloads for Thomas, Honey and Proche are just the start of a trend. A defense that gave up 7.06 yards per play in 2015 — second-worst in the nation —

will get an infusion of young talent in the summer when the 2016 signing class arrives. Linebacker Matt McNew was the only 2015 defensive signee that finished the season. The rest either redshirted or suffered season-ending injuries. The defense will have 14 new freshmen by fall camp, so the defense that played Saturday may not be similar to the one that takes the field Sept. 3 at North Texas. Redshirt freshmen are making moves too. Defensive end Delontae Scott finished Saturday with two tackles for loss and one sack. His twin brother, Michael, had a tackle for loss. The two possess speed and length off the edge that SMU didn’t have last year. “We’re excited about the Scott twins. We’re excited about some guys who were redshirted and can now give us some defense,” defensive coordinator Van Malone said. “The signees are going to be big-time important. When you play with true freshmen, sometimes that’s a little scary. But what we hope is that the level of athleticism on our defense will immediately rise.” The youth movement meant a Sutton-like breakout was less likely in Saturday’s game. So SMU fans didn’t have just one player to rave about over drinks after the game like they did last year. But that’s a good thing.

Jack Delaney shares love of music, Meadows MIRANDA ZSIGMOND Music, conducted numerous professional and student Contributing Writer mzsigmond@smu.edu ensembles all over the world It seems as if Jack Delaney (Doc) always has somewhere to be. As the head conductor of the Meadows Wind Ensemble (MWE) and graduate conducting professor, he does. But, if students can catch him for a moment between his hummingbirdlike mannerisms, they’re met with an overly gracious, goofy character of a man they’ll never forget. “I just remember him having more energy and charisma than I had ever seen from anyone else on the podium,” senior bassoonist Chris Pawlowski said. “It was kind of magical, I was only in ninth grade, but I could tell Doc really knew what he was talking about and cared greatly about the details of the music we were creating.” His office is a a wall-towall cubic display of his life in pictures, drawings, concert posters and quirky clock apparatuses. Each item shows the better half of his 26 years at SMU. Before SMU, Delaney was the wind ensemble director at Emory University. By an unexpected twist of chance, he took an interview at SMU and has been here since. “I remember going to visit the Cotton Bowl and buying postcards for everyone back home,” Delaney said. “I didn’t think I was going to stay in Dallas, let alone get the job.” At first glance, Delaney appears approachable, eager and even a bit unassuming. One might never know that he earned a doctorate of musical arts from the Cincinnati Conservatory of

and commissioned more than 50 works by major composers. Younger students tend to call him Dr. Delaney out of respect, but he simply refers to himself and encourages others to call him “Doc.” After a couple of months, it sticks. Delaney’s students describe him as humble and hard working. “The effort that Doc puts into building a comfortable teaching atmosphere really pays off and ultimately leads to more productive rehearsals,” Pawlowski said. “Over the semesters, camaraderie is developed between Doc and the ensemble members, which adds to the distinctive vibe that the Meadows Wind Ensemble rotations have.” And the audience notices. Under Delaney’s unique guidance, the Meadows Wind Ensemble has made a name for itself as one of the leading ensembles of its kind. They have performed at major regional, national and international music festivals and conferences throughout the U.S. and Europe. The self-proclaimed “blue-collar ensemble” compares with some of the best college wind ensembles across the country, a reminder that high standards are met with hard work. “I have a rule that when I think I’m done studying [a music score], I’ll put on another pot of coffee and go an hour more,” Delaney said. “And I’ll tell the kids that if they’re not busting it, somebody else is putting in the time and they’ll beat you whether it be in an audition or life.” Small life lessons like these are taught through spoken

metaphors at nearly every MWE rehearsal. “Doc always reminds us that it’s important to be fully invested in the pieces we are learning and from being invested that you can learn from anything, whether it be a small opener or large Bernstein piece,” senior oboist Bethany Ham said. “He is incredible at spreading his enthusiasm for music and sharing the joys of playing together as a group.” Unlike larger universities with one director running multiple bands and ensembles, SMU’s music program has the luxury of making each performance a statement. The latest MWE concert March 18 titled “Elvis Has Left the Building” was no different. “This concert is about a period in time when high culture and pop culture merge, and they honestly never have separated since,” Delaney said. “Meadows is a different kind of school, we are a school of the arts. If our programs don’t have intellectual content, then there’s no reason to do them.” The concert featured an Elvis “Vegas” medley of pieces, such as Eric Whitacre’s “Godzilla Eats Las Vegas,” Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances” from “West Side Story” and a medley of Frank Zappa’s compositions. The concert boasted an appearance from the world’s leading Elvis tribute artist, Kraig Parker. It’s this type of passionate energy that Delaney puts in every concert to create unforgettable programs that have been known to require set changes, dancers, audio-visual elements, narrators and other collaborations with many different kinds of musicians — things most directors wouldn’t attempt.

The 2015-2016 academic year has been quite big for SMU. The biggest fundraising campaign of SMU’s existence was capped off in extravagant style and numerous other developments propelled SMU through quite an interesting year. Here are some of the headlines from this year, and what we have to look forward to in SMU’s next year. Capping the Centennial Celebration If this academic year will be remembered for anything, it will be for the construction across campus. From getting woken up, to construction dangerously close to residence halls, to closing down entire sections of campus, this year has been a struggle. But all of that building is moving toward a great cause. The Centennial Campaign has seen many great campus facilities added — including the new Residential Commons and the school of education. Most recently, the Crain Family Centennial Promenade was opened (at last). This walkway will only further our reputation as the nation’s most beautiful university. The Centennial Campaign was certainly a monumental effort which pushed SMU further than before. However, there may be even more to look forward to as President R. Gerald Turner was already talking about another campaign, even as he closed out the Second Century effort. Whatever happens, SMU has lots of momentum to build on for the upcoming years. Greek Life Troubles This year did not end up being a fantastic one for Greek life. Most recently, Lambda Chi Alpha was suspended by its national fraternity.

Additionally, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma filed a lawsuit over a secretly-filmed semi-topless dance which made it into the Dallas Morning News. In addition to the recent issues, Greek life was the spark for many of the protests that occurred early in the year. An insensitive party theme and some anonymous racial comments on the website Greek Rank brought tensions to a boiling point during the fall. Greek life always seems to have an uphill battle to maintain a clean reputation. It remains to be seen whether events like this will continue to occur here — and what will be done if the negative headlines

continue — or if Greek life’s luck will change for the better. Black Lives Matter at SMU After several racial injustices occurred in quick succession on SMU’s campus last semester, the Black Lives Matter movement gained much traction on campus. This coincided with protests occurring around the country at the time. This movement spawned die-ins, marches, photos in solidarity, and ultimately demands made to the administration on how to better integrate and include everyone, making SMU more inclusive. The movement has not been nearly as visible in the spring semester as it was in the fall. It could be tensions are mounting until another insensitive incident emerges. Regardless, it remains to be seen whether SMU will move toward being a more diverse campus in the future or if it will continue along the path it is

on — much to the movement’s disappointment. Athletic Ups and Downs SMU athletics certainly had its highs and lows this year in its major sports. Chad Morris took the reins of the football team — bringing lots of excitement and hopes for a fantastic season. However, despite the excitement, SMU’s season ended with a similar record to its past two efforts. But Coach Morris is just getting started, and it is the hope that the progress and the excitement will build into next year’s football season. Men’s basketball faced an early setback with the NCAA postseason ban. Even with the ban, they fought hard and won an impressive number of games. How they will be able to rebuild and continue on without the graduating seniors remains to be seen. But Moody Magic will be back in full force, looking for a playoff berth this time around.

Weather dampens unveiling of Target-Marimekko line collection

ALISON GLANDER Contributing Writer aglander@smu.edu Target released its long-awaited collaboration with design label Marimekko April 17. Many were expecting the release to be a blowout like last spring’s Lilly Pulitzer collaboration; however, Dallas weather put a damper on the event. Thunderstorms rolled-in most of the day, likely causing many Sunday-morning shoppers to stay in their homes. Hours after the Target on Skillman opened, racks were still filled with clothing and the displays still overflowing with homegoods and other items. Of the few people browsing Target’s aisles Sunday morning, even fewer were stopping by the Marimekko displays. Jill Reynolds was the lonesome shopper perusing the offerings. “I think it’s the weather,” she said. Reynolds specifically made a trip to Target to see the items. “I’ve been a fan of Marimekko since I was a teenager. I’ve always liked her prints." Reynolds even made it a point to go to the Marimekko flagship store while last visiting New York City. This was before she even heard out about the Target collaboration. While at Target, she picked out a top and some home-goods. “This makes me wish I had a kid because they have so much fun children’s stuff,”

she said. Sisters Caroline Compton and Lindsay West also picked out some Marimekko items, but did not make a trip specifically for the release. “This was a happy accident,” Compton said. “We go shopping every Sunday.” “I remember reading about it though,” West said. Target Store Manager Gracie Perez did not seem discouraged about the lack of customers. “The weather has a lot to do with it,” Perez said. “It’s been raining really hard, but overall [the collection] will do well.”
