Students displeased with Daniel House closure LISA SALINAS Fashion Editor lmsalinas@smu.edu Editor’s note: Following the online release of this article, Student Senate tweeted that this article “contains lots of false information,” which VP of Student Affairs K.C. Mmeje shut down. The Campus Weekly has spoken with Dr. Mmeje, who apologized for the misunderstanding.

Daniel House was delayed opening at the beginning of the school year due to mold findings. Students who were supposed to live in Daniel House were either immediately relocated to on-campus housing or across Hillcrest Avenue at The Lumen Hotel.

A number of students were taken by surprise when they were notified the weekend before classes started that they no longer had a place to live, due to mold found in Daniel House.

Mold in the Daniel House was initially discovered during a maintenance replacement of A/C units, according to Director of Residence Life Jennifer Post.

There were 20 upstairs A/C units and 14 downstairs — 13 of the upstairs units were being replaced. These replacements were last-minute due to a replacement time of about eight to 10 weeks, Post said.

“It would have been fine, except when they started to replace them, they started finding mold in a couple of the units,” Post said.

All of this was discovered late in the evening Aug. 17. Students were supposed to move in two days later.

Post and her RLSH colleagues met with students on Aug. 18 to deliver the

news that they would not be able to move into Daniel House while the mold was being assessed.

Forty students were originally supposed to live in Daniel House. Twenty-eight of those students moved into The Lumen Hotel and 10 were moved to new oncampus housing.

Now, none of them will be living in Daniel House, which will be closed through the end of the year, Post said.

Among those 10 students who moved on campus is junior Hope Rasmussen, who now lives in Ware Commons.

Rasmussen was upset, as many are, with the incident, and also concerned about her new meal plan.

“The largest concern most of us have is that we had kitchens to feed ourselves [in Daniel House] and now we’re only being given a 150 block,” Rasmussen said. “We can only eat like a meal a day at the dining halls and prepared food is going to be pretty expensive since our only way to cook other meals is with a microwave.”

Rasmussen was also dissatisfied with the communication between RLSH and the affected students.

“They’ve been pretty bad about communicating with us,” she said.

Post said students have been given a minimum of weekly updates, and that RLSH has also been responding to students on a case-by-case basis.

“I completely understand that there are a lot of questions and just a lot of frustration in general and we have tried to make this as easy as possible when it’s not an easy situation. We fully recognize that,” Post said.

Post initially believed

that students would be back into their original housing quarters in four to eight weeks.

“The issue was that as we continued to repair, we started to find other issues,” Post said.

These issues included high moisture content in the walls and a long installation time to replace all of the A/C units.

“We decided that we needed to replace all of the A/C units. Not only did the units upstairs have an eightto 10-week lead time, but the ones downstairs had a 20-week lead time,” Post said.

Due to these issues, RLSH, Risk Management, Facilities and Vice President of Student Affairs K.C. Mmeje, who have all been working together throughout the process, decided to close Daniel House for the rest of this academic year.

Students at the Lumen must leave by Sept. 20, as that is the last day the university has the hotel booked.

Additionally, the Lumen has been largely booked after that date for SMU Family Weekend.

Post has been working to find alternative on-campus housing options for students.

Students will either pay less or the exact amount for their new on-campus housing, she said.

“We have told them that they will either pay the Daniel House rate or a lesser amount,” Post said.

“If their new assignment is less, then they will be charged less, but if it’s a more expensive option then they will be charged the Daniel House rate.”

Students who do not have a kitchen in their new room will receive the 150 block meal plan, and all students will receive free Mustang

Laundry service for the rest of the academic year as a general apology on behalf of the university, according to Post.

Vice President of Student Affairs K.C. Mmeje later confirmed that students worried about their meal plans will be upgraded to full plans.

However, the upperclassmen are now worried that they have very little on-campus options now left as all students have been situated at this point in the year.

“We’re basically picking and choosing from the leftovers at this point,” said junior Takia Hopson.

“There are little to no singles left, which is what we would have been getting in Daniel House. And the doubles that are left are mostly occupied by one person already,” she said.

Post and RLSH are working to give students the best on-campus housing options available, Post said.

“We have told students at this point that we will work with them to get them back on campus,” Post said.

“I have asked them, by survey, to tell me what is important to them – do you want to be in commons, do you want to be in upperdivision; do you want to be with a roommate.”

However, Post said she did inform students that they may not get their first picks.

“I also tried to be very up front with them. We only have a handful of singles and completely open rooms,” Post said.

“We are going to do the best we can to make as many people happy as possible, and in many cases we are working with people on an individual basis,” she said.

Takia Hopson

Junior Takia Hopson was worried about the state of Daniel House over the summer.

According to Risk Management officials, student housing undergoes multiple checks to ensure its safety. Below is a statement

by Ellen Shew Holland, associate vice president of the Office of Risk Management: “At the start of the fall and spring terms, fire and life safety inspections are conducted in student rooms and living areas.

The University Park Fire Department, accompanied by the Residential Community Director and the Office of Risk Management, conducts these inspections, including checks of smoke alarms, extension cords and exit lighting. Residential Community Directors follow up if issues are noted.

In addition, Resident Assistants check rooms for signs of issues or needed repairs before students checkin, when students check out and anytime a student moves out of his or her room. Any concerns are shared with SMU Facilities or Risk Management, as appropriate.

Indoor air quality is one of our priorities. Issues with mold in student housing are rare. If conditions are identified during these checks or by residents at any time throughout the year, Residential Community Directors work with Facilities and the Office of Risk Management to review the area and address any issues.

It is important to note that mold naturally exists indoors and outdoors in all climates.

Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recognizes that facilities should be examined when a musty odor is present, in conjunction with a visual inspection.”

According to Shew Holland, there was one moldrelated complaint reported last year which was contained to one area and resolved.

“We regret the inconvenience the closure of Daniel House has caused its residents,” she said.

Interviewing the interviewer: the ins and outs of the red carpet SAYED GILANI Contributing Writer sgilani@smu.edu Gadi Elkon, with the charisma of a cult leader, has taken what he says started as a hobby to “get free seats to movies and sports games” into a career of being a masterclass figure of the red carpet at the young age of 34.

Even though he started as a sports broadcaster at the University of North Texas, he eventually found himself face to face with some of Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed figures.

Three-time Oscar nominated actor Johnny

Depp and two-time Oscar nominated director John Singleton are just a few that the prolific editor-in-chief at Selig Polyscope Company has interviewed.

Elkon’s interview techniques transcend the general formula of asking the same question the “guy in front of you just asked,” and insteadbring out the answers you wouldn’t usually hear from members of the film industry.

Starting at KNTU, UNT’s main radio station, Elkon realized that radio alone wasn’t his thing, but that sports broadcasting would help none of his talents.

He became a part of the sports team at UNT while maintaining his double major in film and radio, interviewing athletes from the collegiate level all the way to the major leagues.

However, even after being able to interview world-class athletes such as Dirk Nowitzki and Alex Rodriguez, Elkon couldn’t fathom how awful athletes operated in an interview.

Their ‘by the numbers’ responses and overall standoffish behavior made Elkon’s interest in sports broadcasting dwindle, he says, galvanizing him to

pursue another form of interviewing.

When recalling this transition from sports to film, he thinks back to his interview with famous athlete Alex Rodriguez.

“He wouldn’t even look me in the eye,” Rodriguez said.

“He had no respect for the interviewers present and their field of work. Even when I would throw him an off-the-wall question like what pair of shoes he’s planning on getting next, the guy would barely look up at me.”

Although Elkon adored interviewing people and admittedly “loves sports more so than film,” he said needed the right medium to envelop his unique style.

This prompted him to then distance himself from sports broadcasting, and fully focus on film and interviewing actors, directors and others involved in the film-making process.

What proves most interesting about Elkon’s interviewing style is that he approaches each and every interview with the same attention to detail and research, regardless of whether the subject is famous or relatively unknown.

For celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Elkon knew he needed to represent the ‘odd man out’ of every interviewer on the red carpet, asking questions that would catch Depp off

guard to get some of the more personal details to come out you wouldn’t usually hear.

Extensive background research on Depp’s former avant-garde interviews make up Elkon’s main ‘toolbox’ when approaching the interview, he says.

However, Elkon admits lower profile subjects “tend to offer deeper and more interesting answers than someone of a higher profile like Johnny Depp would.”

Elkon always refers to his interview with John Singleton at the Austin Film Festival as a keen example of his methods.

Singleton embodies a general distaste for interviews, and, knowing this, Elkon had prepared a set of questions to fall back on when “s**t hits the fan,” he said.

Elkon knew from his research that Singleton enjoyed college football, his favorite team being the University of Southern California Trojans.

Having this information, Elkon loaded himself with trivia about the Trojans so he could fall back on USC football to recover.

When things eventually did go south in the Singleton interview, Elkon went according to plan and Singleton’s eyes “lit up with amazement, completely changing the direction of the interview,” he said.

When Elkon got the opportunity to interview Singleton again at MegaFest 2017, Singleton remembered

Elkon from the interview they had at AFF two years prior, just because of the USC question.

During the interview, Singleton told Elkon about a new project he had been working onat the time, which would eventually become known as the FX American crime-drama series “Snowfall.”

However, no one knew at the time of the project’s existence, so Elkon’s interviewing methods had just landed him an exclusive piece of news about a program no one had known existed as of then.

This interviewing prowess caught the attention of Dev Shapiro, chief executive officer of Selig Polyscope Company.

Shapiro acquired SPC from the Selig family, who had possession of the company since its founding in 1896 at the forefront of motion picture production companies.

After his time working with the Dallas Arts District, Elkon began working with Shapiro as an apprentice of sorts, and together they took the company to new heights.

They initially worked with smaller film festivals like the Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) and the Austin Film Festival (AFF).

Today, they’re contractually obligated to operate at around 25 international film festivals ranging from South by Southwest to the Toronto International Film

(Continued from page 4) Festival (TIFF).

Although these bigname film festivals reflect good business, Elkon prefers to operate at smaller film festivals.

He believes it “gives him more range to have a better time with his subjects and get better answers and more worthwhile interview moments.”

More unknown subjects are often believed to be the future of the movie industry, so it’s a tactical move to get an early look at a potential prominent figure to establish a first look at their mindset.

As Elkon put it, “Jake Gyllenhaal was just a kid who liked Stanley Kubrick.

Everyone starts somewhere.”

Smaller film festivals also offer a surprise visit by celebrity guests, Elkon says.

He recalls a time where at Oxford Film

Festival in Mississippi, Danny Glover showed up unannounced.

Elkon got some time with Glover and some really interesting comments on the direction of Glover’s career as he nears retirement.

Elkon believes that instead of going through the motions and letting professional interviews follow the same boring formula, one should bring a new take.

This will open up actors and filmmakers alike with the press, Elkon says, and not allow them to hold the same negative opinion many hold towards the media.

Elkon summarized where he thinks he will continue in the next five years working with SPC in a short sentence: “I’m going to keep swimming against the current, keep up with what’s gotten me this far.”

His advice to future

journalists is to limiting your life’s work to just being ‘an interviewer.’

“Keep it broad but be bold with that broadness,” he said.

“No one is going to say no outright, they’re going to give you a chance to do whatever you need to do.

“People wall you off after you do something to provoke them to,” he said.

“Learn from your mistakes and experiences because it’s what everyone goes through. Never settle for what the guy in front of you is asking.

Be the person no one wants to follow up.”

Women’s soccer splits weekend homestand JACOB PROTHRO Sports Writer jprothro@smu.edu The SMU women’s soccer team lost to Baylor 4-1 Sept. 17 at Westcott Field in their final nonconference game to drop to 4-2-2 on the year.

The loss came three nights after the Mustangs defeated rival TCU 1-0 Sept. 14.

Junior forward Vanessa Valdez and scored the lone goal against Baylor in the eighth minute. It was her team-leading fifth goal of the season. She also scored the deciding goal against TCU in

the 27th minute off of an assist by junior defender Haley Thompson. It was Thompson’s fourth assist of the season, also a team high.

Junior goalkeeper Catie Brown recorded her third shutout of the year against TCU. Through eight games, Brown possesses a 75.8 savepercentage and has allowed just 0.94 goals per game.

The win against TCU marked a milestone for the Mustangs. It was the women’s soccer program’s 400th win.

The Mustangs have played solid soccer in their non-conference slate. The team tied No. 16 Oklahoma 0-0 on Aug. 20 and defeated No. 17 Arkansas in the

season opener.

The impressive showing earned SMU a spot in the top 25 before the game against Indiana, but the Mustangs lost 1-0 to the Hoosiers on a goal in the 80th minute, and dropped out of the rankings.

The team travels to Tennessee to face the Memphis Tigers on Sept.

21 in the American Athletic Conference opener for both schools.

They will closes out the weekend of conference play with a game at Tulsa on Sept. 24.

The results in both of these AAC conference ganes will forecast the season for the Mustangs.

Mustangs fall 56-36 to TCU in the Battle of the Iron Skillet rivalry OLIVIA PITTEN Sports Editor opitten@smu.edu In Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth Sept.

16, the SMU Mustangs led the Horned Frogs for the majority of the first half.

Then, TCU’s Jalen Reagor caught a Hail Mary pass from Kenny Hill in the final three seconds of the half to give the Frogs a 28-22 lead going into the locker room.

“It made a huge difference, just give us a little something going into halftime, kind of deflated them a little bit,”

TCU quarterback Kenny Hill told ESPN after the game. “That’s the first time I’ve been in a game that I’ve ever seen a Hail Mary completed.”

The momentum shifted after the successful Hail Mary.

SMU matched TCU’s one touchdown in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter, the Frogs put up 21 points to win the game 56-36.

In the fourth quarter, the Horned Frogs showed why they’re one of the strongest football programs worthy of their No. 20 ranking.

But, SMU didn’t give up

Quarterback Ben Hicks threw for over 300 yards against TCU.

without demonstrating why the Mustangs are a new force to be reckoned with.

“Our guys kept fighting and fighting. That’s all I can ask them to do,” said head coach Chad Morris. “We battled back. We never quit.

We never gave up.”

The Mustang offense recorded an impressive 463 yards and 36 points against the notoriously tough Frog defense. Prior to the SMU game, the Frogs have only allowed a combined 332 yards and seven points in their first two games of the season.

Led by Ke’Mon

SMU Athletics

Freeman’s 57 rushing yards and two touchdowns, the Mustangs were successful on the ground.

Quarterback Ben Hicks also found success passing to LSU transfer Trey Quinn and James Proche. Quinn recorded seven catches for 116 yards and Proche put up an additional 93 yards.

SMU’s star receiver Courtland Sutton had little success on the field. The Frog defense held Sutton one reception for 0 yards.

Although the SMU defense is improving with every game, it struggled in light of TCU’s seasoned

defense. Defensively, the Mustangs recorded three fumble recoveries.

“When you play an opponent such as TCU and what they’ve built here, it comes down to four or five plays. We did some really, really good things today, but we did some things that were costly, very critical mistakes,” said Morris. “If we can learn from today, then it’ll be a win down the road.”

The last time SMU was 3-0 was in 1984, before the NCAA inflicted the death penalty. Since then, the SMU football program has

rebuilt, developed stronger and is currently breaking records every time the Mustangs step onto the field.

Both teams were 2-0 coming into the game. The Mustangs put up over 50 points in each of their first two games for the first time in school history.

Up next, the Mustangs host Arkansas State in Ford Stadium Saturday for Family Weekend on the Hilltop.

This will be SMmu’s last non-conference game before beginning AAC play against UConn on Sept. 30.

Dirk Nowitzki hosted a star-studded tennis tournament at SMU’s Tennis Complex.

Stars hold their own against tennis pros at Dirk Nowitzki’s annual tournament KYLIE MADRY Editor-in-Chief kmadry@smu.edu After a successful inaugural tennis tournament in 2016, Dirk Nowitzki came back for more — pulling out a starstudded lineup at SMU’s Tennis Complex on Sept. 16.

The round-robin tournament included tennis pros Andy Roddick, Mark Knowles, Tommy Haas and others.

Among the celebrity amateurs participating were actor Owen Wilson, the Mavericks’ J.J. Barea and the Stars’ Mike Modano and Nowitzki.

Fellow Mavericks teammate Harrison Barnes played last year, but Nowitzki joked that

he wasn’t invited back due to his poor tennis skills.

As for Owen Wilson, the Dallas native was replacing his good friend Ben Stiller, who couldn’t attend this year.

“Thanks to all the celebs,” Nowitzki said in a press conference before the tournament began. “I say it all the time that we all get yanked in a million different directions. For you all to make the time to come in here and commit and most of you from out of town, it means a lot to this event.”

The best part of the tournament? All of the money raised is going to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban even said he would match contributions up to $2 million.

The first round left fans

on the edge of their seats as Nowitzki faced off with fellow Dallas icon Modano.

“Dirk and I have known each other for 20-plus years and kind of grew up together in Dallas,” Modano said in the press conference. “We accomplished a lot of great things and great memories in this town. We’ve tried to always give back to this city and Dirk’s been an amazing ambassador for this town, for the Mavericks and for basketball worldwide.”

Unexpectedly, Barea and his partner Jim McKinney reached the championship match, where they lost to pro Donald Young and amateur Justin Whitman.

Tom Sachs mixes new, nostalgic at the Nasher KYLIE MADRY Editor-in-Chief kmadry@smu.edu Tom Sachs’ latest exhibition differs from the typical at the Nasher Sculpture Center. His gritty oeuvre, contrasted against the Nasher’s cast sculptural works by Matisse, Picasso or Rodin, seems to act as a foil to the works the Nasher has become known for. In fact, Sachs’ works seem almost silly in comparison.

While the rest of the museum may seem like a museum, Sachs’ exhibition feels more like a playground. In his exhibition “Tom Sachs: Tea Ceremony,” the artist takes the formal, traditional practice of chanoyu, or a Japanese tea ceremony, and turns it into a frivolous experiment.

The koi pond is replaced with a large, gray plywood pool.

Tea bowls are hand-formed and painted with the NASA logo. The kimono and geta (raised wooden shoes) are instead Nike-branded jackets and altered hightops. All at once, Sachs’ exhibition feels like a nod to the sacred convention, a look to a hyper-focused future and simultaneously an acceptance of 70s nostalgia.

It’s easy to accuse Sachs, a New Yorker of Jewish heritage, of culturally appropriating Japanese practice. But his work

manages to transcend that of a rip-off artist — Sachs himself studied the ceremony for years before undertaking his own work. While Sachs makes it clear he respects the tradition, his exhibition also carries his tongue-in-cheek humor. His humor, while a bit awkward and sometimes off-putting, is evident throughout the gallery. And some of it manages to stick.

The typical tea ceremony takes years to learn, and even longer to perform, Sachs says. For those unfamiliar with the process, it can be easy to giggle at Sachs’ serving of the “brown wave” of peanut butter smeared on a Ritz cracker, or the “sun at midnight” (an Oreo) — a strict departure from Japanese culture that could cause purists to balk.

Sachs invites two guests at a time to participate in the ceremony. His rules vary in degree of difficulty to follow, and he admits that it’s okay to break them. Sachs even laughs along with guests in moments of confusion, as he gently guides them on to the next step.

The bricoleur, who uses a bronze Yoda head in place of a chrysanthemum, a gun instead of a samurai sword and a bonsai constructed of tampon applicators, Q-tips and toilet paper rolls, believes his works serve a purpose larger than their mere existence. However, it’s not quite clear what that purpose is until explicitly stated. To provide more context, Sachs released an accompanying guide, “Tea Ceremony Manual.”

The Yoda head? A representation of the American perception of Eastern philosophy, according the the exhibition’s curator, Dakin Hart. And if Yoda is an all-encompassing symbol of America’s light understanding of Eastern culture, Sachs’ repetitious invoking of the icon shows he knows he gets the joke, too.

Alternative pop songstress Verite talks genre, albums, touring RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu There are many faces in the rising world of alternative pop.

It’s a genre chock-full of new and interesting faces, sounds and instruments.

One such face is that of Verite. Verite is a songstress with a unique sound and ethereal feel. She recently released her debut album, “Somewhere in Between,” to praise and appreciation across many fronts. We were able to talk to Verite about her new album and accompanying tour.

SMU Campus Weekly: I saw that you released your debut album, what was it like putting that out?

Verite: It feels like an odd exhale. It’s weird how anticlimactic releasing music can be because there’s all of this build up and potential energy and it all feels very new and crazy.

Then, it kind of drops off to the bottom and you start working your way up, touring and promoting it. So it’s a

strange experience, but it’s good.

SMU CW: I noticed you had put out a couple EPs beforehand so I was wondering what is the difference between those and this album?

V: I feel like the EPs were a natural progression to the album. I think that, you know, I’m always trying to learn from what I do and the EP’s were just the early stages of what I wanted to create and I learned a lot from them, and I got to kind of grow with them.

The album is ideally a culmination and elevation of those pieces.

SMU CW: Do you think your sound changed at all while you were going through that process?

V: Yeah, I think especially from the first two EPs. It’s just slow so it’s a similar basis.

It’s a kind of ambient sound laid with heavy, driving drums and insane melodies at some points, but I think it’s a little bit more refined now. Sonically, I really wanted to elevate the sound that I was using and

I hope to, even on the next record, continue to elevate.

SMU CW: Is that the goal that you had planned out originally or did you kind of find it as you were going along?

V: It’s interesting because the album was written in a similar way that the EPs were written.

I went through a phase of experimentation where I worked with a lot of different people and tried to keep my mind as open as possible.

I spent the latter half of the album trying to hone everything in and make it cohesive and structure it in a way that made it feel like was in the same world.

It’s interesting how the process is the same but having learned so much, I was able to streamline that process much better.

SMU CW: You said you worked with a pretty large group of people. Is there anyone working right now that you would like to collaborate with?

V: Oh gosh, definitely

Childish Gambino, even though I heard a rumor that he’s discontinuing his music projects. Sampha. I have a cool collaboration with somebody else who I just remembered I can’t talk about.

I just really want to work with people with super strong artistic point of views.

SMU CW: I noticed you mentioned a couple of hiphop artists in there, is that a direction you could see yourself headed toward?

V: Yes and no. I love hip-hop and I love hip-hop artists. I am not a hip-hop artist myself, but I think those collaborations can be really powerful and amazing,so I would definitely love to collaborate with someone like Childish Gambino to bring that perspective into the project for sure.

SMU CW: So, for you, it’s more about the artistry than the genre itself ?

V: Yeah, I think there are artists in every genre. I could see myself collaborating with Sufjan Stevens, or Conor Oberst, so I think anybody whose music resonates with me, we can find something cool to do.

SMU CW: So, who were some of the influences that put you on the musical track you’re on now?

V: I grew up on alternative radio so the singles of the 90s were it for me. In particular, The Cranberries, The Breeders, Nirvana, Green Day, and eventually I got into Death Cab for Cutie and Radiohead and from there I think everything kind of expanded. Now I listen to everything.

SMU CW: Changing the subject a little, I saw that your tour started and I was

wondering how it’s been going so far?

V: The tour is amazing. It feels like it’s kind of almost over because it’s been just a complete rush and blur because the schedule is so crazy.

Touring is a direct representation of how much hard work you put into things. When you see people in cities you’ve never been to showing up to your shows, singing all the words and spending their nights with you, for me I’m really grateful.

SMU CW: Do you prefer to perform live to working in the studio?

V: I prefer touring. All the time.

SMU CW: Where did the name “Verite” come from?

V: It’s directly translated from French to “truth,” and so the sentiment fit when I picked it. But honestly, it was just a day of googling and I gave myself a deadline

of 5 p.m. to pick a name and I picked it and never looked back SMU CW: How did you come up with it during that process?

V: Honestly I just kind of went on a French word kick and there were a bunch of words and I knew I wanted it to be a one-word moniker and I was pretty unsure of it when I picked it but I knew I had to commit to something.

SMU CW: If you had one piece of advice to give any aspiring artists out there, what would it be?

V: My advice would be to maintain ownership of your music, masters, and publishing as long as you can.

If you make those sacrifices early on it will be really helpful initially and you’ll put yourself in a better position to have a longer, more sustainable career.

Javier’s Javier’s is a necessity if you’re looking for a great Mexican meal. It’s conveniently located near campus, right off the Katy Trail. A reservation is highly recommended as this restaurant is always packed.

Javier’s has been around since 1977 and has been named one of the 10 Best Mexican Cuisine Restaurants

by USA Today. And hey— you might even glimpse former Cowboys’ quarterback-turnedbroadcaster Tony Romo.

Rise Rise is not your typical dining experience. Originating from the Southwest of France, this restaurant serves authentic savory and sweet soufflés. The menu offers a large array of soufflé flavors to share around the table. Aside from soufflés, customers can also enjoy other traditional French cuisine. The ambiance is one-of-a-kind with Scrabble game pieces adorning the tables and unique French napkins.

What to Do on Boulevard Day: Brunch The saying “Everything is bigger in Texas” can easily be applied to brunching in Dallas. A great way to kick off a game day is with a delicious brunch.

Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal to sustain you through the Boulevard or a boozy brunch to get you started, Dallas has plenty of brunch spots to choose from.

Lindsey Miller recommends Boulevardier for the “the best brunch in the world.”

Get some BBQ with Student Foundation The Student Foundation Barbecue begins on the boulevard at 3:30 p.m. outside of Clements Hall. This is great way to get some good food before the game and meet more people in the SMU community.

After you get some grub, be sure to head across the Boulevard to the Mothers’ and Dads’ Club tent on the Maguire Lawn. “We will have the Button Man taking family photos on commemorative buttons, refreshment, a place to gather as well as a green screen for more family photos,” explains Debby Baker.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what plans you have as long as you are surrounded by the ones you love.

For a lot of college students, the hardest part of leaving home is saying goodbye to your family dog.

Having your own dog in college is also a huge responsibility and nearly impossible even after you move out of the dorms. But Dallas loves dogs and there are plenty of places to get your fix of wagging tails and wet noses.

Katy Trail/Ice House The Katy Trail is a favorite of SMU students who want to get active in the beautiful Dallas weather and the best part of the seven-mile round trip is the many adorable dogs.

If you don’t want to make the full trip, or you just want a cold beer and a wet nose, the Katy Trail Ice House will leave your tail wagging.

Dogs are more than welcome at the Ice House and if you don’t have one of your own, you’re bound to make friends.

Truck Yard With its license plate menus, trashcan punch, backdoor philly cheesesteaks and a tree house, Truck Yard is dedicated to its aesthetic. And what truck yard wouldn’t have a couple of strays hanging around?

Dogs at Truck Yard come in all sizes from great danes to mini dachshunds.

You’ll never get bored here and you’ll never want to leave.

Mutts Canine Cantina Many people assume you need a four-legged friend to go to Mutts, but anyone is welcome at their 200-seat patio and beer garden.

They even have free WiFi, so if you and your friends want to study, grab a beer and watch a pack of the happiest dogs in Dallas, Mutts is the place.

If you’re lucky, someone might be throwing a “Pawty” which Mutts will organize.

Klyde Warren Park SMU students don’t go downtown often. But on a sunny day, Klyde Warren Park is a not-so-hidden gem in the city.

Grab a friend, pick a food truck and head down to Klyde Warren Park any weekend

and you’re guaranteed to see some quality dogs.

You might not get as much face-to-fur action but if you’re outgoing enough you’ll likely be able to get in a few pets.

Dallas Hall Lawn SMU has a large dogloving community. There’s usually some smiley golden retriever taking a dip in the fountain or a little French bulldog laying in the grass.

Hang out on the lawn long enough and you’ll see plenty of puppers. But if you’re short on time and just want to know when and where to go and find the many dogs around campus, Facebook group “Campus Dog Watch” does just that.

Celebrities sparkle on the Emmy's 2017 red carpet LISA SALINAS Fashion Editor lmsalinas@smu.edu Celebrities brought their A-game to the Emmy's 2017 red carpet this year. Although there are definite awardees throughout the night, the real win for fashion-lovers everywhere is on the red carpet. Long gowns, sequined detailing, elegant jewelry and

flawless makeup all create the ambiance of a truly and awardwinning, opulent night. All eyes are on celebrities during any award show red carpet — what they wear can either break or make their reputation in the style department.

Usually there are celebrities who make questionable choices, however all of the attendees showed up dressed to kill for the 69th annual Emmy’s award show September 17. However, of course, there are those that were more memorable than others. Below are the awardees that took the Best Dressed award in my book.

Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman took the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for “Big Little Lies” and Best Dressed. Kidman wore a stunning Calvin Klein

by Appointment, Raf Simmon’s new collection for Calvin Klein which debuted in mid-January this year. The dress is a true ball gown — a princess-inspired silhouette, with a tight bodice, but wide and flowing, yet structured skirt. The crystal detailing added to its elegance and fiery red color made Kidman look like a true winner of the night.

Gina Rodriguez Plunging necklines seemed to be an Emmy’s trend. “Jane the Virgin’” star Gina Rodriguez showed up to to the red carpet in a bright red, delicately patterned Naeem Khan dress.

Khan posted Rodriguez’s look on his Instagram noting that red “is the color of love and happiness.”

Naeem Khan had two wins for the night, in fact — he also dressed actress Laverne Cox in a grey form-fitting dress.

Sofia Vergara Sofia Vergara made a wedding dress away from the altar trendy and glamourous — a definite game-changer for red -carpet fashion. The “Modern Family” star wore a mermaidstyle, all-white wedding gown to the Emmys. The dress has a sweetheart shape neckline and flaring hemline. The Mark Zunino gown perfectly fit the occasion, as Zunino’s motto is “to make every woman feel as though she were walking the red carpet every day of her life.”

Actress and activist Shailene Woodley arrived at the Emmy’s red carpet in an elegant, custom, velvet Ralph Lauren dress.

The deep green, formfitting dress has a long, deep-V neckline and hemline that covered her shoes. The length of the dress made Woodley appear, tall, towering and goddess-like. Woodley was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie in “Big Little Lies.”

Fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni takes blogging to the next level MERRIT STAHLE Fashion Writer mstahle@smu.edu Fashion blogs and fashion blogging has become popular with the rise of social media, particularly Instagram in the last few years. Many successful bloggers are endorsed by various fashion blogs and have a real influence in the industry. One celebrity blogger in particular has made a six-figure salary based on what began as a joke.

Meet Chiara Ferragni, the Italian fashion blogger and founder of the highly influential fashion blog, The Blonde Salad. The star has her own clothing and shoe line, 10.3 million Instagram followers, 300,000-plus Twitter followers, two appearances on the Forbes 30 under 30 list, and an $8 million per year income, according to Forbes.

Chiara commented on the name of her blog in an interview with Vanity Fair, “I was at lunch with some friends one day and we looked down at our table-blond pasta, blond pizza — and then someone joked ‘Blonde salad,” and it stuck.” Ferragni began posting selfies in 2006, before they were the infamous ‘selfies’ of today.

The 30-year-old has since collaborated with designers like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tod’s, and has recently been named the new Redken Global Fashion Ambassador. How does she do it? Ferragni told CBS News, “My secret has always been to be true to myself.” Her secret has undoubtedly been a key to success. Attached to her blog is her e-commerce site, with links to clothes, shoes, accessories, and looks from brands she’s

@SMUCW_Opinion

Transgender ban weakens military, hurts all Americans KENNY MARTIN Opinion Editor kjmartin@smu.edu In late July, President Trump tweeted that “the United States Government will not accept or allow…

Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.”

Almost a month later, he issued an official White House memo directing the Pentagon to begin the process of implementing a ban. In the tweets, Trump cited “tremendous medical costs” and the need for “decisive and overwhelming…victory” as reasons for the ban.

The ban would roll back policy changes introduced under President Obama, which allowed for the gradual inclusion of transgender people in the military, including their open and successful integration into military units and support for their unique healthcare needs.

Trump’s order appears driven, at least in part, by a desire to please certain factions of his supporters rather than by sound policy considerations – not to mention to distract from a perpetually alarming news cycle.

It appears to have been issued unilaterally, without consulting the Joint Chiefs of Staff or the Department of Defense, and without the support of Congress — a Congress which is now tasked with implementing the ban with few concrete policy directives from the President.

The directive has faced significant opposition since its inception. Just last week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) joined an existing bipartisan

coalition in introducing a bill that seeks to prevent the ban.

McCain’s support of the bill has brought renewed attention to an issue about which many might have forgotten. This week, the issue is especially pertinent here at SMU, given that Dallas Pride was last weekend.

When I talk to people about LGBTQ issues, I often hear something like “But it only affects three percent of the population.”

Some people think, in other words, that these are small problems. They think that since they themselves aren’t affected, the trans ban is one headline issue they can easily ignore.

But, the impact of Mr. Trump’s messy attempt at a transgender ban should not be underestimated.

Since the President issued that initial tweet, valuable time and resources have been wasted trying to backtrack on an issue that was on its way to being resolved.

The tweet, and the subsequent memo, left White House and Pentagon officials scrambling to understand the implications of the President’s directive. It left them wasting time trying to contain the President’s mess, and flailing to communicate clarity and operational cohesion to the American people and foreign governments.

In short, it wasted the military’s time. It continues to waste the military’s time. It continues to waste Congress’s time.

The military is indeed entrusted with ensuring “decisive and overwhelming…victory.”

It faces very real and increasingly urgent threats

Twitter/@realDonaldTrump

President Trump’s tweet informally announcing the ban

– North Korea prominent among them.

Under President Obama’s directive, transgender people were on their way to becoming more completely integrated and cared for. Things weren’t perfect, but they were getting there.

After Trump’s tweet, the military finds itself in an uncertain place. It appears jumbled and unorganized – because it is – and the only constant is confusion. From the outside, at least, the U.S. military appears weaker and less effective than it was before Trump acted on his notorious tweeting impulse.

Paradoxically, the “ban” hasn’t done much besides create confusion and fear.

Trans people in the military aren’t going anywhere anytime soon (Feb. 18, 2018 at the earliest).

Indeed, if Trump wants his ban to actually take effect, he has considerable work to do — actual, rolling-up-hissleeves work toward crafting real policy.

Even if he does that – which he has time and time again proven unwilling to do – he faces a considerable battle against a bipartisan coalition of senators, as well as legal challenges that could make his immigration ban

fiasco look tame.

This, of course, is to say nothing of the considerable distress and confusion the haphazard nature of the ban has caused to trans people themselves.

They, paradoxically, often get overlooked in discussions of the ban. They certainly get overlooked whenever someone thinks “Oh, that only affects a small percentage of the population, so I can ignore it.”

Even if you do not have trans friends – or better yet, do not think you do – you live and study on a campus with many trans people who were likely (and understandably) hurt in a profound and intimate way by this ban.

To not care about the ban is to not care about them – a profound failure of empathy on a campus notorious for propagating social structures of exclusion, intimidation and elitism.

In other words, the trans ban ought to matter here especially – not just because it weakens our military’s capacity to perform its work well, but because it affects our fellow students and our friends.

OPINION

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

One final note: several intelligent commentators have conveyed this entire issue as some sort of ‘PC’ social experiment.

Such thinking misunderstands the history of trans people and persists in treating them as political pawns, rather than the citizens, autonomous bodies and people that they are.

Let me say this clearly: trans people in the military do no

constitute a social experiment.

They have been there for a long time, serving their country well – all without support for their identities or their comprehensive healthcare needs.

Imagine what they could do if they were supported and affirmed like their fellow soldiers. If they didn’t have to hide, or live with constant uncertainty of their safety, employment security and well-being.

The phrase is common, and perhaps even worn, but in times

like these we can’t remind ourselves enough.

Representation and support matter, and it’s up to people with a public voice to contribute in whatever way they can – no matter how small – to a more accepting world. So I say: Trans people are not a burden. Trans people are not a burden.

And again, always: Trans people are not a burden.
