Student Foundation welcomes SMU families “Home in the Heart of Texas” JACQUI ELIAS OLIVIA NGUYEN Online Editor & Editor-in-Chief A year ago, sophomore and current Family Weekend Special Event Coordinator Victoria Whitcomb moved to SMU, leaving the familiarity of her California home miles away. She entered college knowing no family or friends from her area. She found a new city, a new school and the brutal Texas heat, yet amidst the new surroundings, a large portion of Whitcomb’s heart remained on the West coast: her family.

“While in college, it’s important to develop and become your own person and grow as an individual but not to lose where you came from, your background and what you were raised in,” said Whitcomb.

Despite FaceTime to stay in touch with her family, Whitcomb’s Dallas and California life never really coincided.

However, her two worlds collided during Family Weekend.

“Family Weekend is bringing your home to where you are,” Whitcomb said, which aligns perfectly with this year’s Family Weekend theme of “Home in the Heart of Texas”.

This weekend, families from around the world will be given the opportunity to participate in a weekend full of activities to reconnect and share a few days in the life of their student in SMU tradition and Texas style. The weekend will consist of annual events such as the Family Luncheon, Boulevard BBQ and the talent show.

More than 900 families have officially registered with many more coming and going throughout the weekend. To accommodate the growing numbers of family, all tickets will be distributed digitally.

The weekend features different programs: some that require tickets and some that don’t. Friday kicks off in the morning with sessions from different SMU organizations such as Engaged Learning and SMU Abroad.

The Family Luncheon will begin at noon featuring student speakers.

A committee of five people has spearheaded the planning of this event with initial plans tracing back to last January. The

committee consisted of SMU junior Ciara Cooley as family weekend chair, Whitcomb as special events coordinator, Olivia McGrath as talent show director, Courtney Chance as game day coordinator, Meredith McBee as mothers lunch coordinator and Alex Keith from programs and marketing coordinator.

“The purpose of Family Weekend is to put on the best traditional events possible,” said Student Foundation President Alex Silhanek. This year, Family Weekend reflects this tradition-oriented mindset by hosting events that SMU has held for years with similar vendors such as Sonny Bryan’s BBQ catering the Boulevard BBQ. “Family Weekend provides events that you can count on each year,” Silhanek said.

The Boulevard BBQ “kick-off ” event to Family Weekend is a joint effort between Student Foundation and SMU Mothers’ and Dads’ Clubs.

President Stephanie Golem believes the partnership is beneficial as both organizations work to host the BBQ on the boulevard.

“The SMU Mothers’ and Dads’ Clubs are so pleased to be able to partner with an outstanding organization such as Student Foundation on Family Weekend events such as the Family Luncheon and Barbecue,” Golem said. “It is one of our clubs’ favorite times of the year as we welcome families to the Hilltop.”

Clark Holt, Vice president of programming for Student Foundation, oversees Family Weekend, is excited for the upcoming event as well. He said this year’s “Home in the Heart of Texas” theme particularly represents the ideals of Family Weekend.

“Not only is it a time for students to bring their families to campus, but it is also a time for the families to meet their students’ new on-campus families that they will be spending the next four years with, whether that is new friends, RA’s, or Faculty-in-Residence in their commons,” Holt said.

In addition to classic events like the Boulevard BBQ before the SMU v TCU game on Friday and 41st Annual Family Weekend Talent Show on Saturday, Student Foundation is introducing a brand

new event, the Family Weekend Musical, a collaboration by SMU Student Theater and Program Council.

“This is an evolution on the 24 Hour Musicals we have seen on SMU’s campus over the past couple of years,” he said. “For Family Weekend, the team will be putting on two free productions of Hairspray on Sunday.”

The three-day extravaganza begins Sept. 23.

Holt is excited for the event to start and see the smiles on families’ faces as they get to walk around campus and reunite after the initial weeks apart.

“There’s really nothing better than getting

to show your family your new Home in the Heart of Texas [at] SMU,” he said.

Tickets for the Boulevard BBQ will be sold at Clements Hall at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and t-shirts will be sold at the Hughes-Trigg Crossing earlier in the afternoon at 1 p.m.

Talent show tickets can be purchased online until the event.

More drop-in events will be offered throughout the weekend such as a SMU abroad session and a Meet the Faculty sponsored by each academic school. The full schedule of events can be found on the Family Weekend website

Eating elephants with president Rainey

Student body president Blake Rainey reflects on path to presidency MACKENZIE KORSI Contributing Writer mkorsi@smu.edu Sitting back in his chair at the conference table in the Student Senate office, student body president Blake Rainey reflects on his journey to the presidency, wearing a bright yellow collared shirt and matching yellow and black Air Jordan shoes.

Students at SMU have become familiar with Rainey through the past year during his successful campaign for student body president of the school’s 103rd Student Senate. Rainey, however; may not be familiar with the man behind the suit in all of those RED RAIN campaign photos.

The success of Rainey’s time as president started long before he stepped on the Hilltop for the first time. Rainey’s involvement with Boy Scouts of America ignited his focus on identifying and achieving goals.

Throughout his six years with the program, Rainey participated in summer camps and meetings while earning merit badges, and eventually rose to the highest rank in the program of Eagle Scout.

“I just really liked having such a big goal and then working towards it for many years, and then finally achieving it,” Rainey said.

Rainey also picked up his motto for tackling any large project in his life in Boy Scouts. “How do you eat an elephant, you know it’s one bite at a time,” said Rainey’s scoutmaster, describing the dedication necessary for achieving eagle scout ranking.

Now, president Rainey applies that motto to his time at SMU, describing his upcoming graduation as another elephant in his life.

The senior studies both management science in the Lyle School of Engineering and management in the Cox School of Business, hoping one day to pursue entrepreneurial business ventures. Academics have always been the first priority in Rainey’s life, reflected both in graduating valedictorian of his high school class and in his strong academic success balancing a double major at SMU. Rainey may surprise many, however, with the goal he hopes to achieve before graduation in the spring.

“Before I graduate, I would like to have completed my Air Jordan shoe collection,” Rainey states confidently. Rainey began collecting at a young age, starting with comic books and moving to the 23 special Air Jordan shoes his sophomore year of high school. His shoe collection began initially because Air Jordan shoes gave Rainey the chance to gain respect among his peers. The high school Rainey attended was predominantly African- American, and he used his shoe collection to stand out within his community. Rainey continues to wear his collection at SMU, donning two different pairs at our meetings, one black-and-yellow and another white-and-grey. He collects the shoes in order, and now owns pairs one through 18, confident that he can find 19 through 23 before his graduation to finalize his personal brand.

Another trademark of Rainey’s is his soft-spoken nature.

Taking a few moments before answering each question to think, Rainey focuses on answering every question honestly and using the opportunity to reflect on his response. “I don’t like to talk too much,” says Rainey. “I feel like when I speak it should be adding to the conversation and pushing it in a certain direction.” His focus on intentional listening and responding carries into his role as student body president, as well.

To Rainey, the most important role of the president is

acting as the voice of everyday students.

He served as a member of every level of student Senate over his first three years at SMU and wishes to amplify the voices of fellow students in his new role as president. Rainey says at SMU, “everyone has an equal voice, even me.” Starting conversations and effectively intermediating between the students and the administration drives Rainey’s focus as he begins his new role as president.

Rainey’s campaign platform, “Reform, Empower, Deliver” and common sense attitude to make SMU a better place for all students saw success in the voting polls and will continue guiding his term as president.

The senior explains he based his campaign off of issues he saw on campus because he assumed the problems concerning himself also concerned his peers.

Focusing on ways SMU could improve purely through simple conversations with the right people, Rainey ran for student body president and was sworn in at the end of the semester in the spring of 2016.

Now as president, he actively works toward realizing his campaign goals by executing his plans to fix the problems students see on campus.

When asked what he wants students to know about him, Rainey promptly answers by inviting students to invest in SMU and making their voices heard by visiting the Senate website and scheduling office hours or coming to chamber meetings and speaking at the speaker’s podium.

Both opportunities give students the platform to speak about changes they wish to see at SMU and talk to the senators that can help make those changes happen.

“I’m an approachable guy. If [you] see me walking around campus, please do not hesitate to come up to me and start talking to me.”

Dr. Bob’s Block Party event occurred on Sept. 16 to dedicate the newly opened building.

Dr. Bob’s Block Party celebrates health center opening, dedication REESE BOBO Contributing Writer reeseb@smu.edu When you think of the kind of event that brings out hundreds of college students, what comes to mind?

Chances are, you might be reminded of Migos at Bungalow, or of a big basketball game in Moody, but Dr. Bob’s Block Party did just that.

On Sept. 16, the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center was dedicated and the first 200 students who arrived were rewarded with free food from Ruthie’s Rolling Cafe and Steel City Pops.

At 12:30 p.m., the festivities began.

Organizations such as each Commons, the Mom’s and Dad’s Club and the Assembly lined tents in the new Mary Hay-Peyton-Shuttles and Virginia-Snider quad area. Each tent had a different activity such as Frisbee, a popcorn stand or a massive game of Jenga.

Students who then participated in the activity

were given a ticket to enter raffles throughout the afternoon.

Raffles included prizes such as an Apple TV, water bottles, a Samsung TV, a speaker and other prizes.

At the end of the day, even while the gameplayers and volunteers had gone, the raffle players stuck around to hear the winners.

If mental and social wellbeing is what the center was going for, then the block party was the ideal event to kick off its dedication. The quad was packed and quite literally buzzing with energy.

The “vibe” of the party was set with music from the live bands such as Blue Apollo and Preston Cole.

While the majority of the day may not have been focused directly on health, it indirectly and holistically embodied the goals of the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center. On Friday, the community came together — not to study, or do work towards a career goal — but to kick back and relax.

Nowitzki serves during a practice match on Sept. 15 at SMU Turpin Stadium.

Dirk Nowitzki takes on a new court, brings Pro Celebrity Tennis tournament to SMU LISA SALINAS OLIVIA NGUYEN Interactive Editor & Editor-in-Chief The morning of Sept. 15, Dallas Mavericks center and power forward Dirk Nowitzki entered rather unusual territory.

Nowitzski stepped into SMU’s Turpin Stadium to practice for the first annual Dirk Nowitzki Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic Match.

According to a press release, his practice match with Grand Slam doubles champ Mark Knowles was a prelude to the Sept.

18 inaugural Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic.

The Dirk Nowitzki Foundation created the charity event with all proceeds to fund annual grants for organizations focusing on children’s well-being, health and education.

The tournament competitors featured a diverse roster of athletes and actors. ntertainers and celebrities include Ben Stiller, John Isner and Boris Kodjoe. Tennis champions Andy Roddick, Benjamin Becker, Mark Knowles and Mitchell Krueger brought their expertise to the

court while Dallas Mavericks’ Nowitzki, Harrison Barnes and J.J. Barea showcased their tennis skills.

Dallasites and visitors gathered to Turpin Stadium to watch the unlikely paired competitors play in the charity tournament under the sweltering heat to win the 2016 championship title.

Nowitzki started with opening remarks at a press conference before competing.

“This has been so much fun and hopefully we can top it off with some average tennis,” he said.

After multiple matches and hours in the sun, the doubles team of Roddick and Tonya McKinney defeated Kodjoe and restauranteur Alberto Lombardi 10-6 to win the first championship title.

Winner Roddick commented on Nowitzki’s positive impact in the community for making charitable events like the tennis tournament happen .

“I think we’re all huge admirers of Dirk for what he does and continues to do for Dallas,” he said in a press conference.

Backstage of the Mary Kay x Lela Rose show.

Two brands with ties to Dallas partner for the ultimate NYFW look INDIA POUGHER Contributing Writer ipougher@smu.edu When you hear the names Mary Kay and Lela Rose, you should immediately think of Dallas.

Mary Kay, which was founded here in 1963 has since grown into an international beauty empire.

Meanwhile, Lela Rose, who was born and raised in Dallas but now works out of NYC, opened her flagship store right here in Highland Park.

For the first time ever, the two brands partnered up, creating the ultimate beauty meets fashion look for New

York Fashion Week.

Created by Mary Kay’s global beauty ambassador, Luis Casco (as seen on the television show “Project Runway”) for the Spring 2017 Lela Rose collection, the beauty look centered on highlighting the feminine effortlessness of Rose’s designs.

Both brands agree that they share a similar client.

Rose said she even grew up using Mary Kay products.

While Rose showed her signature floral print frocks and ladylike lace dresses at Café Altro Paradiso in New York, the beauty look consisted of blushing, glowing skin and what Casco calls a “half cat-eye” using gel eyeliner.

The effect is youthful and flirty.

“This look was inspired by the Lela Rose Spring 2017 Collection, which was all about elegant, feminine prints and fabrics,” Casco said in an email.

“I was able to enhance the eyes, cheeks and lips in a very subtle and elegant way that looked modern and worked on all skin tones.”

Casco believes the easily personalized look can be mastered and worn by all women, whether they be SMU students or Dallasites.

“Consider this a makeup look that’s like a little black dress– something that is simple but works and that you can [add] many accessories to!” said Casco.

Marc Jacobs, designers under fire for cultural appropriation GABRIELLA BRADLEY Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu In the last hours of New York Fashion Week, designer Marc Jacobs sent Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss and the rest of his model lineup down the runway with fifty-five dreadlocks on their heads. The hand-dyed, hand-rolled wool hair was sourced from Florida Etsy seller Jena Counts, owner of Deadlocks by Jena, who worked with Jacobs to create 300 different shades to perfectly coordinate with the collection.

“It’s so fun and different and edgy,” model Riley Montana told The Cut backstage during the show.

“I feel like it’s appreciating a different culture and showing it with different people, different races, different cultures, and different personalities, so it works.”

However, not everyone shared Montana’s enthusiasm for the look.

As soon as the first model stepped out onto the runway, social media exploded with comments accusing the designer of cultural misappropriation. Twitter user @emmelephant commented below an Instagram photo from the show saying, “Was super cool until I realized the pastel hair was in dreads.

Like a commenter above me said, if that was the look you were going for, use models of color. Would’ve been a great way to be more inclusive and have an amazing show with an otherwise-amazing aesthetic.”

While countless others also voiced their disapproval of the hairstyling choice, the situation, which might have died down after a few hours, took new life when Marc Jacobs himself took to Instagram to respond to

the backlash.

He commented on one of his photos saying: “All who cry ‘cultural appropriation’ or whatever nonsense about any race or skin color wearing their hair in any particular style or manner– funny how you don’t criticize women of color for straightening their hair. I respect and am inspired by people and how they look.

I don’t see color or race– I see people.”

Outrage exploded throughout the social media domain as people reacted strongly to the designer’s comments, crying that he was inappropriately exploiting African-American and Rastafarian culture.

Accusations of cultural appropriation are not new to runway shows or fashion weeks. Cultural appropriation can be most easily defined as “members of cultural majorities

trying to adapt cultural elements of a minority,” according to Subcultured Magazine.

This past year alone has seen many instances of fashion industry players and media stars alike being chastised for borrowing from other cultures.

For its Fall 2015 runway show in Milan, DSquared2 changed its name to “DSquaw”– a derogatory name for a North American Indian woman or wife– and sent models down the runway in perceived Native American dress, which included a line embellished with tribal designs and fur moccasin like footwear.

While DSquared2 called it an “ethnic makeover,” the brand was reprimanded for not consulting any Native American artists or using models that represented the culture.

One writer for Native

Appropriations, wrote: “There should be no representation of us, without us. What want to draw upon indigenous cultures for your line?

Involve indigenous artists and designers. There is no alternative answer.”

Elle Canada saw similar backlash this summer for their insensitivity toward African culture when it called the West African shirt known as the dashiki the new “it-item of note.”

The tweet and corresponding article were both removed from the magazine’s site, but not before the Internet was able to react to it, berating the publication for their.

Since the Internet exploded from Marc Jacobs’s response to the backlash, the designer has issued an apology.

In the caption of an Instagram post published this weekend, he wrote: “I

Designer Marc Jacobs was accused of cultural appropriation during NYFW.

apologize for the lack of sensitivity unintentionally expressed by my brevity.”

In a day and age of expression fueled by the accessibility of social media as a platform of free speech, vocalization against cultural appropriation will continue.

One can only hope to make it through Paris Fashion Week without another online explosion.

SMU midfielder Emil Cuello (19) scored two goals to down No. 16-ranked Akron.

SMU men’s soccer defeats No. 16 Akron in overtime PHIL MAYER Contributing Writer pmayer@smu.edu Emil Cuello scored two goals, the second in overtime, as SMU beat No. 16 Akron 4-3 Sept. 19 in a rematch of a quarterfinal game of last season’s NCAA Tournament.

Ten months earlier, the Zips knocked SMU out of the tournament to advance to the national semifinals.

After winning the American Athletic Conference title and reaching the NCAA tournament in 2015, SMU started this season with a 2-5 record and entered the Akron game on a four-game losing streak.

The game did not start well for SMU, as Akron took an early lead with two quick goals from Adam Najem in the 18th and 19th minute.

Garrett McLaughlin scored SMU’s first goal

in the 21st minute and SMU entered halftime down 2-1.

Shortly after McLaughlin scored, SMU goalkeeper Michael Nelson collided with an Akron player and left the game with an injury.

Nelson had played all 90 minutes of every game to that point.

In the second half, Mauro Cichero scored on a header on a cross from Eddie Munjoma to tie the score 2-2. Akron took the lead back with a goal in the 72nd minute. SMU tied up the game eight minutes later when Cuello scored his first goal on a corner kick. The two teams went scoreless for the next 10 minutes and the game went to overtime. Cuello scored in the 98th minute to win the game for the Mustangs.

SMU took 11 shots and Akron took 12.

Nick Ruiz, who replaced Nelson, made five saves. Cuello’s goals were his first of the season.

Jordan Wyatt regains confidence as rest of SMU’s defense finds it PATRICK ENGEL Associate Sports Edior pengel@smu.edu

After a rough 2015, Jordan Wyatt has emerged as one of SMU’s best defensive players as SMU’s defense has improved as a whole.

Jordan Wyatt kept running, even though he didn’t have the ball.

Wyatt had read a curl route on fourth-andtwo perfectly. He broke on the route before the ball was even thrown. He basically read the quarterback’s mind. Wyatt darted in front of the intended receiver just beyond the first down marker as the ball hit him in the hands – then fell to the ground. He had ended Liberty’s drive, but he didn’t catch a gift-wrapped pick-six.

He kept running, in disbelief that he’d missed a chance to score. He grimaced as he went over to discuss the play with defensive coordinator Van Malone.

“Coach Malone said, ‘Catch that ball.

You’re not going to get many opportunities, so come up with it,’” said Wyatt, a redshirt sophomore.

Never mind that he made a great play. That wasn’t a surprise.

A year after giving up 502 yards and 45 points per game, the SMU defense has cut those numbers to 403 and 25 through three games this season. A year after Wyatt struggled mightily as a safety, he has become one of SMU’s most reliable defenders now that he has switched to cornerback.

SMU intercepted 10 passes in 2015, tied for 78th in the country. SMU already has nine this season – tied for the most in the country. Wyatt has three of them, one more than he had all of last year.

The biggest reason for Wyatt’s improvement is his regained confidence, his coaches say. It’s something he lacked last season as a safety.

Back at his natural cornerback position, he’s comfortable.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been around a guy that has flipped the switch from one year to another like Jordan has,” and SMU head coach Chad Morris said. “This guy is playing with unbelievable confidence. There’s no doubt in my mind he’s playing as good as anybody on our football team right now.”

A cornerback at Wylie East High School, about 30 miles northeast of SMU, Wyatt was known for his speed. He reportedly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds. When he came to SMU, he transitioned to safety.

After redshirting in 2014, he started eight games at safety in 2015. He struggled with making reads and often hesitated before making them, leading him to be late to his assignment and surrendering a big play. SMU’s secondary allowed 9.3 yards per pass attempt, secondworst in the country. That’s nearly a first down every time an opponent threw the ball. It’s also a way to instantly ruin confidence.

“Last year, it wasn’t one of my best years of my career,” Wyatt said. “The coaches believed in me still. I want to thank them for sticking with me through the process.”

In the spring, Wyatt moved back to corner.

The coaches realized he fit better there. By the end of fall camp, he earned a starting spot.

Against Baylor, he played all 115 of SMU’s defensive and special teams snaps.

Malone didn’t want Wyatt playing so much.

He tried to tell Wyatt to come out of the game.

Wyatt refused. Malone gave up.

“When you’re in that place and you’re playing the game and this guy is one of your better players, you kind of let it go. But if I had realized that he had played that many plays, I would have had (strength and conditioning) coach Tru (Carroll), who’s a pretty strong guy, put him in a headlock and keep him out of the game,” Malone quipped.

Wyatt’s confidence is back as SMU’s collective defensive confidence is forming.

Last season, neither was present. Against FCS opponent James Madison, SMU took a 45-41 lead with just over two minutes remaining in the game. The defense needed to protect the lead to win. James Madison went 75 yards in 1:37 and scored the game-winning touchdown without running a single play on third down.

This year, SMU’s defense had to protect a 22-14 lead against Liberty with 47 seconds left.

Liberty ran two plays on that drive resulting in a sack on first down and an interception on second down.

“We’re a different team,” Wyatt said. “If this happened last year, we’re dropping our heads like, ‘Oh man, we gotta get back on defense? C’mon offense.’ Now, we embrace the moment.”

Wyatt made the game-clinching interception, catching an overthrown pass with 23 seconds left. In that situation, coaches tell the player to immediately go to the ground so the offense can take a knee to end the game.

But Wyatt kept running – this time with the ball – all the way to the end zone.

After he celebrated with his teammates, he

ran again, this time to Morris.

“I just went to go tell him I’m sorry for not

being disciplined,” Wyatt said. “I couldn’t resist.

I just had to take one to the crib.”

SMU searches program for defining win against rival Horned Frogs REECE GRAHAM Sports Writer rgraham@smu.edu

Overtime. Fourth-and-2 at the SMU 17yard line. The Mustangs lead 40-33. TCU quarterback Casey Pachall sets himself in the backfield alone, three receivers to his right, two to his left. The snap is high. TCU wide out Brandon Carter runs a five-yard hook route near the right sideline. Pachall lets it fly. The ball grazes the fingers of SMU defensive end Taylor Thompson and bounces off the chest of Carter. The ball hits the turf.

Ballgame.

In October 2011, the Mustangs smashed the 20th-ranked Horned Frogs’ streak of 22 consecutive home victories. It was SMU’s first Iron Skillet win in six seasons and only the second time the Mustangs had defeated a ranked team in the post- “Death Penalty” era.

It was also the last time SMU defeated a ranked team.

Since that game, SMU and TCU’s football programs have headed in opposite directions.

TCU would win its fifth conference title under head coach Gary Patterson in 2011, good enough for the Big 12 to come knocking when the conference expanded the following year. The program would experience growing pains in the coming seasons, but the Horned Frogs returned to their winning ways by 2014 when they became co-champions of the Big 12.

Head coach June Jones had the Mustangs heading to their third consecutive bowl game in 2011. When the Mustangs reached their fourth straight bowl in 2012, many Mustangs fans thought the program had been resurrected for good. Then SMU fell off a cliff.

In 2013, SMU finished one win shy of a bowl berth with a 5-7 record. The Mustangs would go 1-11 in 2014, with Jones resigning after the second game of the season.

Regardless of how everything turned out, SMU’s win over TCU in 2011 was a big deal.

In one game, SMU made the statement that even a former laughingstock from the humble Conference USA could play with the big boys.

Five years later, head coach Chad Morris has SMU positioned to make a similar statement.

We have seen flashes of SMU’s potential since Morris first stepped on the Hilltop. The Mustangs have kept close in games against Baylor for two straight seasons. SMU also

came close to upsetting No. 3 TCU in Fort Worth in 2015, trailing by only five with 8:20 left in the game.

Perennial powerhouses like Baylor and TCU do not just get worse overnight. The Mustangs are getting better. Much better.

SMU’s football program is ready to take the next step. The Mustangs could very well steal a win this week; a program-defining win that would set the tone for the rest of the Morris era. Here’s why: Firstly, let’s address what TCU misses most from last season: quarterback Trevone Boykin and wide receiver Josh Doctson.

Doctson was arguably Boykin’s favorite target during their time at TCU. In last season’s game against the Mustangs alone, Doctson hauled in two touchdowns and Boykin passed or rushed for four more. Doctson and Boykin combined for 36 of the Frogs’ 56 points that night. Both of them now play in the NFL. Secondly, Boykin’s replacement as quarterback, Kenny Hill, has not exactly set the world on fire through his first three games in Fort Worth. The Texas A&M transfer has thrown for just four touchdowns on the season with three interceptions. Those three interceptions should surprise nobody as Hill is notorious for being a wildman with the ball. In Hill’s only season at A&M, he threw

eight interceptions during a five-game stretch and was benched for the remainder of the season. Last week vs. Iowa State was the first time in eight consecutive starts Hill was not picked off.

This is good news for the SMU defense that has tallied a FBS leading nine interceptions through three games. If Hill fails to take care of the football, Friday’s game could become a disaster for the Horned Frogs.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Carlos Mendez reported Monday that TCU WR KaVontae Turpin could miss a portion of the season after injuring his posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) on Saturday vs. Iowa State.

A friend of Turpin’s posted on Twitter that the receiver tore his PCL in the game. The tweet has since been deleted and TCU has not officially announced the severity of the injury, but Patterson did mention Turpin on Monday’s Big 12 conference call. It does not appear Turpin will be able to play this week.

“Obviously, he has a leg injury,” Patterson said. “Hopefully, we’ll get him back in the future.”

Turpin led TCU in all-purpose yardage last season and is the current team leader in receptions and receiving yards.

TCU’s defense has a lot of question marks too. Depth, especially in TCU’s secondary,

has given the Frogs reason for concern. WR Deanté Gray was moved to cornerback last week to provide additional depth, but the secondary is still thin. DE Josh Carraway also injured his right ankle Saturday and may not be ready in time for SMU. The biggest difference in this year’s TCU game will undoubtedly be SMU’s ability to stop the Frogs’ explosive offense. Last year, SMU’s abysmal defense gave up a total of 6026 yards and 548 total points on the season.

The Mustangs’ secondary allowed six TCU receivers to tally more than 20 yards. Five TDs came through the air. TCU running back Aaron Green also went for 164 yards and two TDs on the ground.

With youth at wide receiver, the Frogs have relied heavily on RB Kyle Hicks so far.

Hicks has ran for five TDs on the season and is the Frogs’ leading rusher with 225 yards.

TCU putting greater emphasis on its ground game is also good news for the SMU defense that has not allowed any opponent’s leading rusher to go for more than 100 yards in a single game this season.

For SMU to pull off the upset this Friday, the Mustangs’ defense must continue to play at their current level and avoid allowing TCU big plays. The offense must step up and capitalize on recovered takeaways. Improvement in the red zone is also drastically needed, and that all starts with freshman QB Ben Hicks. Hicks has been picked off five times in two starts – four of which have been thrown within 20 yards of the opponent’s endzone.

“We’re really anemic in that area, very non-existent,” Morris said at his Sept. 19 weekly luncheon. “Not only when we get down there are we not coming away with points, but we’re turning the football over.

That’s something that’s got to stop.”

Should we expect SMU to beat TCU? No. Should we be surprised if the Mustangs pull off the upset? The answer is also no. This is the mentality SMU fans should have entering Friday’s game.

SMU has made vast improvements from last season and is a completely different team. Are the Horned Frogs still the better team? Of course they are. Will Vegas be kind to SMU this Friday? Probably not. But Friday night games on national television against your archrival are the kind of games where magic happens. Maybe the Mustangs are due – maybe.

Thanksgivings for Family Weekend Unfortunately, this year’s Family Weekend does not fall on Halloween like last year.

Halloween is still more than a month away! But forget about Halloween and all the fun that it is, I’m going to do an article themed on Thanksgiving – it never gets the attention it deserves anyway.

Here are some things you have to be thankful for this Family Weekend: Your parents did not send you to TCU: Yep I said it, SMU is most definitely better than TCU. Important things like academic

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

rankings aside, SMU just has so much more to offer. We have the better city, our school colors are not purple, we have a mascot that is not a weird lizard named after an amphibian, and we have tons of fountains and grass to go around.

So, be thankful that your parents did not force you to go

to TCU or raise you as a horned frog believer. Things could be worse, no matter who walks home with the Iron Skillet.

Your parents’ credit cards: There is nothing college students love more than free food. Wait, I mean there’s only one thing we love more and that’s our parents . . .

But we love it even more if it’s good food. So hopefully your parents can take you out to a nice dinner (and lunch, and brunch and snacks) if they are in town. If they cannot make it, just have them send you money to go get food instead.

The Boulevard: Sure, we have the Boulevard every home game. But it can only be made better by the addition of a gaggle of parents.

Is Dad going to get wasted?

How awkward is it going to be when they meet all of my new friends? These questions and many more are the important ones that we have to struggle with this weekend – harder than any midterm problem.

There are many things we have to be thankful for here at SMU, but an especially big thanks to all the parents who have come out to SMU!

Editor on censorship in society today Lately it seems issues relating to censorship come up with surprising frequency.

The problem with censorship today is it seems to be coming increasingly from people on all sides of different issues.

For starters, we have the Colin Kaepernick issue in regard to his protest of the national anthem. His demonstrations have engulfed the media and people’s attention over the past weeks.

While the validity and appropriateness of his protest can be debated, he has the complete freedom of speech to act how he pleases – his protest

STAFF COLUMN

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

does not harm anyone nor is it particularly disruptive. No one has the right to try to tell him he should behave differently, but there are numerous people, claiming to be patriots who say that Kaepernick’s usage of his First Amendment rights is not patriotic.

Likewise on the college campus front, “safe spaces” and trigger warnings are

becoming more and more prevalent. While the people putting forth these reforms theoretically have people’s best interests at heart, the center of the issue boils back down to censorship. Many people putting forth these changes are advising that students consider whether their language is “necessary” before speaking, encouraging students to selfcensor themselves before talking in even the most casual of social interactions.

While one’s right to freedom of speech does not give the freedom to libel others, asking people to censor themselves or indeed not talk

at all in every circumstance when they interact with someone else is censorship in the highest degree and seems quite ridiculous.

What it comes down to is in today’s society more and more people stand to lose big and be censored for opinions that are completely normal. Both Kaepernick and some students stand to be censored for normal speech and opinions.

This is the biggest danger facing our progressive society – we stand to oppress and censor ideas in our pursuit of good, even when not meaning to.

RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Americana band Josiah and the Bonnevilles are bursting onto the music scene and will be stopping in Dallas for a show at The Door.

The Tennessee-based group has been making waves with their recently released debut EP, “Cold Blood.” It’s a soulful piece that brings the heart of songwriting to the forefront of their sound.

Sept. 27 marks their Dallas performance and it will be one for the ages. SMU Campus Weekly recently had the chance to interview Josiah in preparation for his show.

Campus Weekly: What made you want to be a musician professionally?

Josiah: Man, I think when I was young, I only remember being drawn to the one thing, you know? It’s hard to explain but it’s really the only thing that held my interest so, I just kind of knew that I had to do it.

CW: Was it tough to balance that with everything else going on in your life?

J: No, it was never tough, it was just the only thing. So for me everything always just took kind of a backseat to it.

CW: How would you say you got your start? What was your big break?

J: I don’t know that I’ve had a big break yet. I think it’s more of kind of a whittling away, you know? Just working to get better and stand up in front of crowds and kind of do something special to the best of your ability. Over time you’re going to build and grow, but I don’t see myself as having any one kind of thing that put me to this place.

Josiah and the Bonnevilles are currently touring.

CW: So speaking of concerts and crowds, you’re on tour currently, is there anywhere you’re looking forward to?

J: I always like passing through Toronto. You’re talking to me from Dallas, right? I like Dallas a lot.

CW: Yeah, Dallas is pretty fun.

J: Dallas is one of my favorites, man. We played, me and the guys I’m on tour with now, we played in Asheville the other night and Richmond in the South and I like the South, I’m from the South, but the crowds were a little dead energy. I’ve never had a crowd like that in Dallas.The crowds always are pretty into it.

CW: Are there any spots around Dallas you like to visit when you’re in town?

J: I used to work in Grand Prairie at a central packing plant so I know the area pretty well. I like it in Fort Worth.

I’ve got a couple friends that used to live there. I like the whole Deep Ellum area.

CW: This year you released your debut EP “Cold Blood.”

What was it like getting that out?

J: Man, it was a big relief.

I’d been working on it a long time out in Las Vegas since 2014 and I had a lot of misfires

while recording it. I’ve always kind of prided myself on songwriting but had kind of been behind as a recording artist so I really dove in and learned how to work with it and make a record on my own and then it got picked up. It’s really nice to see something come out that I did in my living room in Las Vegas.

Didn’t have a band, didn’t have anybody to email it to and see what they thought. I remember sitting on my back porch and kind of just feeling like I was on to something, so it’s really nice to have that out and see people enjoy it a little bit, it’s really cool.

CW: Where do you get your inspiration from when songwriting?

J: Man, a lot of stuff. This album deals with a lot of relationship stuff I was going through at the time. I find inspiration a lot on the road; I find a lot in books, in movies, something I like.

CW: Do you have any artists you would call inspirations?

J: Oh yeah for sure.

Leonard Cohen, [Bob] Dylan obviously, I think you can tell that. I really like that stuff; I’m a lyrical guy. I appreciate a lot of the music that’s going on.
