An evaluation of SMU’s mental health resources JACQUELYN ELIAS Online Editor jelias@smu.edu In her 17 years as SMU’s associate chaplain, Judy Henneberger has witnessed trauma, crisis and death. Henneberger is the university representative who approaches students in these moments, comforting students suffering from loss or visiting students in the hospital. Each SMU student holds a place in Henneberger’s heart. When a student takes his or her own life, Henneberger has her own way of remembering the loss. “I write down all their names because I don’t want to forget them,” Henneberger said, who keeps a list tucked away in a large navy binder under her desk. “I’ve been to many of their services over the years. I’ve been with many of their families … I don’t want time to go by, and it’s just a student who died.” In the past two years, SMU has seen an increase in the rate of student suicides among other universities. In a national survey of over 500 universities, the mean number of suicides at universities of SMU’s size was one student per year. While in past years SMU has seen rates similar to or below this national average, SMU saw three suicides during the 2015-16 academic year, followed by one on-campus suicide in Fall 2016. When TCU had four students commit suicide between 2010 and 2012, the chancellor established a Council for Mental Health & Suicide Prevention to reduce the risk of student suicide, leading to the start of their HOPE initiative. SMU has yet to establish similar initative. At a university, students are vulnerable to the effects of mental illness. Seventy-five percent of mental illness cases start by age 24, according to a 2005 study on the prevalence of disorders. About a fifth of individuals aged 18 – 25 exhibited a mental illness throughout the 2014 – 2015 year, according to a 2015 data set from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). SMU’s population is mostly from this age group, and the university has many programs in place to support them. However, many of these programs do not connect with each other to address the complexities of mental health, and they do not offer the same timely services as similar universities. The primary resource for mental health care here at SMU is through SMU Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) in the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center. CAPS offers what it calls “short-term individual counseling and

After this consultation, times that can range much longer than the students are then referred to group counseling, typical eight business days.

months. To pay for this care, a student would likely be forced to work more hours, which could potentially add additional stress or anxiety or rely upon family members to help afford care. SMU students, however, already provide funds for SMU’s mental health resource. Residential students contribute funds from their room and board fees to maintain the facility. Non-residential, full-time undergraduate students contribute $100 per semester and graduate or part-time students contribute $50 per semester. University officials would not release the budget for the SMU Health Center. Compared to other cohort and aspirational peer universities as defined on the SMU website, SMU has some of the highest counseling staff/intern members to student ratio. The health center reports six full-time counselors, three part-time staff members and four fellows or interns. With an enrollment of over 11,000, this leaves SMU with a staff-to-student ratio of around a 1,300-to-1 or 900-to-1 with fellows and interns. Nationwide, this ratio is in line with guidelines from the International Association of Counseling Services, which states that universities should maintain a ratio between 1,000-to-1 to 1,500-to-1 without trainees. “Whether it’s a good or bad thing, it is not a place where we are in a position to put our resources,” said Dr. Joanne Vogel, SMU Vice President for Student Affairs ad interim and a professional in the mental health field for over 17 years. “Because these ratios are good, we would not be adding to staff there.” However, after comparing these ratios with 22 of the universities SMU “seeks to be comparable in characteristics and quality” as well as universities SMU “defined as operationally comparative,” 80 percent have lower staff-to-student ratios, including postdoctorate trainees. The average staff to student ratio among these schools averaged to around 870-to-1 compared to SMU’s 1,300-to-1 ratio. While some universities did have higher counseling-staff ratios than SMU, SMU also had a significantly higher cost of attendance for full-time, residential students than 75 percent of these schools. All of these other than Brandeis University offer only short-term individual counseling sessions before the center refers a student off-campus. SMU CAPS does not aggregate how many students are referred off-campus, according to Soutter. (story continued on page 4)

(continued) “The university is really acting as a screening place and then sends the students to health care professionals like psychiatrists or psychologists who are really trained well in suicidology to do a suicide assessment,” said Skip Simpson, a Frisco-based lawyer specializing in suicide malpractice. Simpson is a board member of the American Association of Suicidology. This semester, SMU senators Trey Dalton and Ben Overshire started the CAPS initiative to “evaluate students’ experiences with CAPS and CAPS itself,” according to pre-major senator Dalton. “We’ve heard rumors that it takes two months to get an appointment,” Dalton said. “My freshman year I used CAPS extensively… and to hear that other people didn’t have this experience shocked me a little bit.” The committee composed of campus leaders from various SMU organizations such as The Assembly of Residential Students,

Student Senate, resident assistants and PsyChi club plans to release a survey to gather student experiences within the next few weeks. Later in the process, the committee hopes to host a Wellness Week to offer an opportunity to speak about mental illness on campus. Vogel also plans to dig deeper into the internal efficiency of the health center over the summer. “I’m bringing in a consultant that does this across the nation to sort of look at wait times, service levels, the amount of students one provider sees and making sure that it’s all in balance and healthy and doing the best that we can for our students,” Vogel said. “I’m excited to see what they will recommend for us.” Aside from the health center, SMU offers a variety of other resources for students. While these resources are present, client privacy laws make communication difficult between the different resources, and some of these

Dallas Morning News Editor discusses media’s relationship with American people LAUREN WINTERHALDER Contributing Writer lwinterhalde@smu.edu “It is irresponsible and dangerous to call journalists enemies of the state,” Editorin-Chief of the Dallas Morning News Mike Wilson said. “Enemies of the American people are actually those who do not understand the importance of words and the damage the wrong words can do." Wilson knows the damage of words and the mistrust between media and their audiences, which he discussed at the SMU Faculty Luncheon April 19. The SMU Faculty Club holds events for its members, which includes SMU faculty, staff, retired faculty, retired staff and alumni. Wilson is responsible for news coverage in print and online at The Dallas Morning News. He joined the news organization in 2015.

Guthrie was especially impressed with Wilson’s experience and accolades. “Knowing his extended experience in journalism and the recognition he has received made me more eager to hear his comments and opinion about the media,” Guthrie said. Wilson spoke about his journalism experience at the luncheon, but mainly discussed his now famous column. “What you need to know about the enemies of the American people the President warned you about.” Wilson wrote the column in response to President Donald Trump’s tweet calling the media “the enemy of the people.” “In my column, whenever I wrote journalist I would

insert ‘enemy’ instead” Wilson said. “It was a way to show that the press may have its flaws, but we have our importance in checking on the government. We are not the enemy.” Wilson acknowledges a lot of mistrust exists between media and people, and as Editor of the The Dallas Morning News, he is working to improve that. “At the The Dallas Morning News, we have embarked on an effort to improve trust with our readers, and it starts with listening,” Wilson said. Wilson makes an effort to respond to all reader emails he receives and will even invite readers to the newsroom to see how everything operates and ask questions. The DMN has also begun to hold public forums, show news meetings on Facebook Live, better tell stories and interact with readers. All of this is an effort to build open communication between the media and readers and build trust. “If we do it right, we can be the best friend the country has ever had," Wilson said.

resources do not touch on mental illnesses specifically. In the past 10 years, SMU has begun a new initiative to serve as a support system to students who may be in distress. In 2007, the Office of the Dean Student Life implemented the Caring Community Connections (CCC) program. While the CCC program does see some mental health concerns, the highest concern that enters this office is usually from faculty when students miss class or do poorly on exams, according to Michael Hogan, the program’s primary intaker. The program does refer students to CAPS; however, the student is then given the responsibility to take the next step in seeking help. “The counseling center is an operation that operates under a level of confidentiality that is much tighter than our office,” Hogan said. “They will let us know with the student’s permission if they attended an appointment, but that’s about as far as they will go.” Outside of the Dean of Student Life, SMU

also offers confidential counseling available through the Chaplain’s Office. Many students, however, do not know of this resource. “Our office is sort of like a secret,” Henneberger said. “We are going to have to look at referral ways for students to get what they need quicker and not so late.” While these resources are available to students, students in many ways are given the reins to find their own help since privacy laws prevent many offices from sharing information about the student with other offices. After leaving these resources, a student may never make their way to their referral or may get lost along the way on finding the next step. The SMU junior said that while she was unable to obtain counseling through CAPS, she progressively improved thanks to the support of friends instead of professional help. This, however, is not always the case. Students used as sources in this story have been granted anonimity.

IKEA responds to Balenciaga’s new, familiar-looking tote The furniture store’s new humorous ad touches on fashion copyright, counterfeit items GABRIELLA BRADLEY

Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu

The small, California resort town I grew up in prided itself on being a champion of local businesses and was very against bigname corporations and stores. We didn’t have a Target or a Walmart, or restaurants like Olive Garden or Red Lobster (not that I’m complaining, although I’m not opposed to unlimited breadsticks once in a while). Because of this, it wasn’t until I moved to Dallas that I first stepped foot into an IKEA superstore. Immediately, the mazelike store layout sucked me in and suddenly my trip to help

a friend pick up a futon for his dorm room turned into my chance to buy all the things I never knew I was missing. Needless to say, I was converted to the Church of IKEA then and there. Apparently, I am not the only person enamored by the wonders that the megastore holds. French fashion house Balenciaga released a bag strikingly similar to IKEA’s famous blue, reusable tote. While the carry-alls were similar in style, they differed in price – Balenciaga’s version comes with a steep price tag of $2,145 while IKEA’s can be purchased for a mere 99 cents. Always one for a good laugh, IKEA’s creative team

saw the opportunity to set the record straight on which of these bags was the original and whipped up a cheeky print ad that gave consumers a breakdown of how to spot the real cerulean staple tote. The print ad reads: How to identify an original IKEA Frakta bag. 1) Shake it. If it rustles, it’s the real deal. 2) Multifunctional. It can carry hockey gear, bricks and even water. 3) Throw it in the dirt. A true Frakta is simply rinsed off with a garden hose when dirty. 4) Fold it. Are you able to fold it to the size of a small purse? If the answer is yes, congratulations.

IKEA’s Frakta bag (left) is strikingly similar to Balenciaga’s new tote (right).

5) Look inside. The original has an authentic IKEA tag. 6) Price tag. Only $0.99.

In an era when fashion counterfeit and copyright are serious issues, IKEA’s

advertising blast not only touches on the problem but also adds a touch of humor to it.

Women’s basketball team hopes for greater game attendance, fan support next season CYNTHIA MCLAUGHLIN Contributing Writer cmclaughlin@smu.edu The SMU women’s basketball team just finished its season tied for fifth in the American Athletic Conference. Even so, the team does not see nearly as many fans in the stands as the men’s basketball team does. McKenzie Adams, Women’s basketballer, wishes this weren’t the case. On a typical game night, Moody Coliseum is filled with a few familiar faces, but not nearly as many as the women would like to see. “A lot of the times most of

the people we see in the stands are close friends or family which is great, but it is always good to see more faces in the stands,” Adams said. It’s no secret that men’s sports are more popular than women’s. The SMU women’s basketball team struggles, like any other school, to raise attendance numbers. In the 2015-2016 season, the women’s basketball team averaged 945 attendants per game. Meanwhile, the men average 6,800 fans at each home game. Jarrey Foster of the SMU men’s basketball team, attends every women’s basketball game that he can.

Attendance at women’s basketball regular season games.

He thinks they are fun to watch. “Their program is something to be looking out for in the next couple of years,” Foster said. Under new head coach Travis Mays, the team has maintained a competitive 1613 record (7-9 in the AAC). But would they perform better if they saw more fans at their home games? The women’s basketball team at the University of Connecticut – ranked No.1 in the nation – sees more than 10,000 fans at each home game. Post game interviews often feature athletes crediting the fans for giving them a

psychological edge. Writers and commentators often suggest that a team performed better than it should have due to the support from its fans. It’s impossible to know if a bigger audience would lead to more wins, but Adams said that the women have to work harder at cheering each other on and keeping up their spirits to make up for disappointing crowd turnouts. “I think it is hard a lot of the time because we don’t have the same fortune as the men because they have big crowds that bring them energy and excitement, whereas we kind of have to bring our own energy and feed off each other,”

Adams said. Coach Mays knows this and is working diligently to improve the attendance and provide the atmosphere that the team deserves. He tweets to his followers to come to the games, always including his personal hashtag for the team: #BEaMAYSn. But getting people into Moody takes more than Twitter updates. Attendance increased by 300 people at the February game against the University of Central Florida. The sudden popularity may have had something to do with the free all-sports clinic following the game for girls 8th grade and

under, and boys 6th grade and under. Whatever the case, the girls loved having the young fans. “We absolutely love when younger people come to our games because they bring so much energy and genuinely look up to us,” Adams said. “One of the best parts about that is getting to interact with them after the games.” While sometimes the women might be discouraged they don’t get the crowds that the men see, the basketball teams support one another. “Here in Crum basketball center, we are supportive of each other,” Foster said. “Any chance that we get to watch a women’s game, we are there.”

Duquesne transfer Isiaha Mike commits to SMU REECE KELLEY GRAHAM Sports Writer rkgraham@smu.edu SMU Basketball head coach Tim Jankovich and staff added some much needed depth to the Mustangs’ young frontcourt over the April 22-23 weekend. After visiting campus late last week, Duquesne transfer Isiaha Mike announced his decision to play for SMU on Twitter. The 6-8 forward from Scarborough, Ontario went to Trinity International in Las Vegas before signing to play collegiate basketball at Duquesne. Mike was one of the Dukes’ top scorers last season, averaging 11.3 points per game as a freshman. Mike also played on this year’s Atlantic

10 Rookie Team. Mike was among several other players and recruits to leave Duquesne after the firing of former head coach Jim Ferry. Mike will arrive on The Hilltop with three years of NCAA eligibility remaining, though he must sit out next season due to transfer rules. When eligible to play in the 2018-2019 season, he will join 2017 signees Ethan Chargois and Everett Ray, giving the Mustangs a trio of sophomore forwards. Their three forwards will help build SMU’s powerful offense. Jankovich and the team are excited to see what Mike will bring to the team. While Duquesne will miss Mike’s skills, SMU is lucky to grab such a talented freshman.

SMU men's golf makes first postseason appearance in two years, places four in AAC Championship top 25 PATRICK ENGEL Assoc. Sports Editor pengel@smu.edu SMU men’s golf spent last year’s American Athletic Conference championship at home in Dallas, banned from postseason play due to NCAA penalties. Free of the ban in 2017, SMU returned to the event for the first time in two years. The Mustangs finished with four top-25 finishes at this year’s tournament April 25 in Palm Harbor, Fla., led by junior Gray Townsend’s thirdplace tie. They finished in a tie with Connecticut for sixth place in the team standings. Making his AAC Championship debut, Townsend used a 3-under-par 68 in the event’s final day to climb from ninth place to the tie for third. His 68 tied the tournament low round and his threeround total was an even-par 213. He had one previous top-three finish this season, which came in October. SMU’s other top-25 finishes came from senior Alex Higgs (20), senior Andrew Buchanan (T-23) and freshman Daniel Connolly (T-23). Connolly jumped 10 spots in the individual standings on the final day with a 1-over-par 72. SMU’s fifth individual golfer, Jackson Markham, finished tied for 37th.

Relationships not always best for college students MACYE MARSHALL Contributing Writer mamarshall@smu.edu Junior Caroline Bertain has been in a long-distance relationship since she started at SMU three years ago. She said her relationship had both positive and negative impacts on life at SMU â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for me to focus when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly on my phone texting him,â&#x20AC;? Bertain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, there is not that constant distraction of having him around at school, which makes it much easier to be productive during the day.â&#x20AC;? Christopher Logan, a SMU psychology professor studies relationships and teaches a course on relationships. Logan has researched long-distance relationships and unhealthy relationships among college students and found that they tend to offer fewer rewards than expected. Investing too much time into a relationship can be unhealthy because it impacts the way one lives, and grades and friendships may suffer, Logan said. Focusing too much on grades can cause partners to be more distant from one another, and that distance causes arguments and high stress levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some college students have healthy relationships which are rewarding, but other students have dysfunctional relationships, which are filled with conflict,â&#x20AC;? Logan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These conflicting relationships can cause high stress levels and negative health impacts.â&#x20AC;?

A healthy relationship, on the other hand, is one that gives people more freedom, including meaningful dates, great support and the ability to learn about oneself while keeping up with academics. According to Logan, when stressed, students have trouble focusing on lectures, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t motivated to attend class and lack the ability to study well and retain critical information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely seen people who have gone through hard breakups,â&#x20AC;? sophomore Anna Grace Carey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their grades have gone down because they are stressed and preoccupied.â&#x20AC;? Junior Julia Battle said she witnesses friends in both healthy and unhealthy relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relationships consume people,â&#x20AC;? Battle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have seen a lot of partnerships that are healthy because they motivate one another

and balance each other out.â&#x20AC;? Bertain and her boyfriend began dating in high school and have remained in a long-distance relationship since he left for college in California. Senior Farah Qutub said being single gives her more time to focus on her needs and wants, especially in college years when students should focus on themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can travel with friends and pretty much do whatever I want without having to have the approval,â&#x20AC;? Qutub said. Logan said one of the most important elements of getting over a failed relationship is believing that alternatives exist that may be even better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although breakups are unpleasant to go through, we tend to get over them faster than expected,â&#x20AC;? Logan said.

KELLY KOLFF Assoc. A&L Editor kkolff@smu.edu The 1975, notorious for its obsessive, dedicated fan base and killer shows, kicked off the U.S. leg of their tour in Allen on April 15. Colouring, another U.K band, opened the show. While their songs were calmer and kept the crowd bobbing along, lead singer Jack Kenworthy’s vocals ruled the music. His effortless high notes and lullaby-like melodies left the audience swooning and wanting more. Next came Pale Waves. The lead singer’s goth appearance was misleading once they played their first note fueled with ’80s pop vibes. Even though their songs brimmed with energy, Pale Waves fell flat. Each song blended into the next with the lead singer and guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie unable to move much from her spot. They got the crowd dancing, though, with their last song “There’s a Honey” produced by The 1975’s Matthew “Matty” Healy and George Daniels. A hum pulsed through the crowd for 10 agonizing minutes before it faded, leading into the iconic first lines of The 1975. A single LED rectangle lit up and the crowd went wild. Band members filed in as the track played until it effortlessly bled into “Love Me.” Frontrunner Healy jived along, moving with enough charisma to knock someone over. This was the band’s first U.S. stop on its latest tour, and it showed through its heightened energy. One thing was clear: The 1975 knows how to put on a show. While the performances

were as enthusiastic as those of artists at their first major concert, the light show was one of the most captivating features. The 1975 were smart to keep Tobias G. Rylander, their lighting designer, who won an award for the shows in 2016. Along with the iconic three lighted rectangles hovering above the stage, the band was backlit by a giant LED screen and four LED columns. These projected colorful images perfectly evoked the feelings of each individual song. The bouncy irony of “Love Me” is an in-your-face fuchsia; somber “Please Be Naked” consisted of a dark stage and a swirling silver-blue shape; and “The Sound” was illuminated with pulsing vertical lines that emulated the pumping bass with each beat. Healy’s performance matched the energy of the lights behind him. He danced down the stage, sometimes climbing around the light columns. At one point, he even climbed on an amp and finished out an epic guitar part. Other members jammed along, with drummer George Daniels exemplifying the art of multitasking as he sang backup and played with ease. In the middle of the set, the band took a break to

introduce the next song. Rainbow lights shone above the stage, signaling to fans that “Loving Someone” was next. “I want to sing a song in honor of anybody who has feel – Jesus, I’ve had a drink – anybody who has felt ostracized or discriminated against ever, really,” Healy said. “And this song has become, from what I can see, a little bit of an anthem for the LGBT community and this song goes out to that community.” “Loving Someone” was an emotional experience. Healy sang from the bottom of his heart as a wall of rainbow lights shone in front of the stage. The audience sang the simple but powerful chorus as Healy looked on: “Yeah you should be loving someone.” The 1975 closed with “The Sound,” during which Healy asked everyone to jump as high as they could. “Texas style,” Healy joked. Surprisingly, an extremely exhausted crowd danced and jumped as if they had not been standing for the past four hours – the perfect ending to what felt like a dance party from start to finish. The 1975’s 22-song set packed with fan favorites proved that they will not leave any stone unturned.

World remains intact after almost ampus Campus 100 days of Trump presidency Weekly SMUDAILYCAMPUS.COM

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS 1915 - 2015

This Saturday marks the end of President Trump’s first 100 days in office. Immediately after the election, many people felt sure that Trump’s presidency would bring about the onset of WWIII, a loss of all function in the government and the destruction of civil rights. But after 100 days, we are still here. WWIII hasn’t started, no one has lost any rights or health coverage, and things have generally seemed to continue as usual in our American bubble. However, the lack of disasters has not convinced the general public to approve of Trump.

STAFF COLUMN

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

AOL reports that Trump’s approval rating is reaching historic lows. Trump was quick to call the polls “fake news,” attempting to discredit the media while gloating about his victory. While some may see this as the beginning of the end for Trump, these numbers are not all that surprising – and can be saved.

If Trump can deliver his budget and some form of change in healthcare, these numbers may rise as Trump supporters return to the approval side. But Trump may lose big at the end of this week. According to Yahoo, this Saturday the “government could shut down without a budget deal” and this week will be difficult for Trump. A government shutdown would be a disaster for Trump and the Republicans and should be avoided at all costs – even if they cannot get everything they promised their constituents on the budget all at once.

The result of the budget and whatever else Trump can pass this week will likely cause the approval numbers to move in analysis and news stories looking back on his first 100 days in office. If Trump has a successful week, things may be headed in a better direction for him than they have been thus far. However, if a government shutdown occurs, then Trump’s presidency could be on a much rockier road. Regardless, it seems the world will indeed survive the Trump presidency. We’ve made it this far – only 1,360 days to go.

Rainey reflects on Humans of SMU past year for Senate BLAKE RAINEY Past Student Body President brainey@smu.edu I’d like to address you one last time before the end of my tenure as your Student Body President. When I was elected last year, I ran on the platform “Reform, Empower, Deliver. “I’d like to share with you some highlights of the accomplishments Student Senate had this year: Reform – Worked with the university architect to ensure future construction projects are undertaken in a common-sense manner to lessen the impact of students’ travel times to classes – Added three new special interest Student Senator seats: one each for the Queer, MILVET and Student Athlete communities Empower – Finance Committee held

several workshops to make students and organizations more aware of Student Senate funding opportunities Deliver – Passed a bill to allocate $750,000 over the next three years to the Student Center renovation project which has been matched by the Department of Student Affairs (with renovations expected to begin by summer 2018) I want to thank all of my fellow officers, Senators and Chairs for their incredibly hard work and sacrifice this year that contributed to the great accomplishments we achieved. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as your Student Body President and lead the 103rd Student Senate. Read the full article online at www.smudailycampus.com
