Residence hall tour provides building details Katelyn Gough News Editor kgough@smu.edu

CHRISTOPHER SAUL/The Daily Campus

The Daily Campus was given a tour of the five new residence halls that are set to open in August 2013.

With construction for the new residence halls well underway, project engineer Grant Hagen offered a preview tour and sat down with The Daily Campus to explain the new buildings from a structural point of view.

Hagen said that when he joined the project last February, the construction crews were already moving in.

The buildings are set to be finished by April 2014.

“We relocated the road, put up our fences…so we kind of took over this whole area,” Hagen said.

All necessary, he said, for such a large project.

“There’s five residential commons buildings, a dining hall and a parking garage,” Hagen said.

The five buildings will each house 250 rooms, with a total minimum of 1250 beds.

The current plan is for the new residential community to be designated to house sophomores when the mandatory two-year rule for students living on campus goes into effect.

The new buildings will be home not only to students.

Hagen explained that on the first floor of each building is a faculty apartment and a hall director apartment.

Both will have outside entrances as well as residenceaccess from inside.

These apartments will be three bedrooms and three baths to accommodate faculty and director families and create a real “home.”

For students, their sleeping spaces won’t be quite as generous.

“It’s pretty small once you put the furniture in. It gets pretty tight,” Hagen said.

However, the communities themselves will offer unique features to accommodate group living.

“There’s a mix between double rooms and single rooms, and then community bathrooms,” Hagen said. “Every floor has a floor lounge and two or three community lounges.”

With bathrooms to be shared amongst seven to eight rooms, Hagen said, “it’s a pretty good ratio” and will prevent crowding during shower times.

The dining hall will also be distinct and is designed to have two levels with a grand staircase and curving aesthetic.

There will be outdoor patios on both the lower and upper levels.

As of now, the space is being designed to have serving and seating on the lower level, and the top level will be reserved solely for dining space.

According to Hagen, two of the buildings have been named by now: Lloyd Commons and Armstrong.

With what he estimates to be around 300 people working on the construction site, Hagen is confident that the project will finish well on time.

“Everything’s actually been going pretty good,” he said.

Pulitzer Prize winner speaks on religion’s effects on individuals’ lives julie fancher Assignments Desk Editor jfancher@smu.edu Pulitzer-Prize winning author Jon Meacham spoke to faculty and staff Friday as part of Perkins School of Theology Public Life/Personal Faith Lecture and Colloquium.

The day began at 9:30 a.m. with a colloquium held at the Elizabeth Perkins Prothro Great Hall.

About 80 people, many of whom were faculty, staff and students at the Perkins School of Theology, came to listen to Meacham speak and participate in a question and answer session.

William Lawrence, Dean of the Perkins School of Theology, started off the day by introducing Meacham to the crowd.

Meacham would speak again to a larger audience at a luncheon and lecture later in the day.

The colloquium was a more intimate environment.

“This morning is an opportunity for a larger constituency to gather and to benefit by asking questions to the invited speaker of the day,” Lawrence said.

Meacham spoke about how an individual’s public life can shape their personal faith.

He also discussed the role that religion and politics play with one another.

Meacham spoke at length about how religion needs to be viewed as one factor of many that play into our public lives, but it shouldn’t necessarily become the main one.

“The religion we grew up with, it’s part of who we are, so when we come of a certain age, and we go into the republican experiment, into the republic into the public space, we bring those beliefs that may or may not have been particularly well-thought out,” Meacham said.

And with so many different, sometimes conflicting religions, it is important to realize they should not be the most important, according to Meacham. “[Our views] may be more innate than an actual function,” Meacham said.

“And it creates a kind of potential conflict when we step into the arena with our religious beliefs and find that that arena is one in which religion is one factor but the controlling factor.”

He continued to discuss how bringing such extreme views in faith and politics may not be the most successful route.

“Religion like economics, like geography, is one factor among many, and should be,” Meacham said.

“If you attempt to argue that the public square should be totally secular, you are fighting a losing

battle,” Meacham said.

Meacham spoke for about 30 minutes, then opened the floor for questions.

Many of the questions were asked by faculty or former faculty on current events.

Some questions were about gun control and religion and the evolving diversity of our country and what role that plays in not only politics, but religion.

This was the fourth annual Public Life/Personal Faith Lecture held at SMU. The Lecture series is described by the Perkins School of Theology as “a fundraising and outreach event of Perkins School of Theology to the larger community.”

Various speakers are brought to discuss about how personal faith shapes public life.

Meacham is a commentator on politics, history and religious faith in America.

Meacham is also the executive editor and executive vice president of Random House Publishing, former Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek and a contributing editor to TIME Magazine.

He won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his book “American Lion: Andrew Jackson and the White House.”

The next Perkins speaker will be Arlene Sanchez Walsh.

Bottling company draws crowds despite losses

Hackathon designs apps for campus problems, engineers do the ‘Harlem Shake’

kent koons Staff Writer kkoons@smu.edu When Dublin, Texas was founded many people expected it to become a booming Texas city.

“There were people who slated it to become the size of Ft. Worth,” Kenny Horton, current manager of the Dublin Bottling Works, said. “We didn’t make it.”

While it did not becoming the city many had hoped for, Dublin made a name for itself with its signature Dr. Pepper formula.

For more than 120 years, Dublin Bottling Works has made its own version of the soda, using pure cane sugar instead of artificial sweeteners.

Dr. Pepper made its debut in Waco, Texas in 1885, and Dublin Dr. Pepper Bottling Works began producing the drink in 1891 as the first independentlyowned bottler.

As the soft drink industry moved towards high-fructose corn syrup in the 1980’s to avoid paying more for sugar, Dublin Dr. Pepper Bottling Works refused to trade quality over quantity.

While the company refused to change its recipe, it was still allowed to use the Dr. Pepper name, as long as it didn’t sell outside of a 44 mile radius per an agreement with Dr. Pepper.

While this radius may seem small, the plant has remained popular, drawing over 80,000 visitors a year.

The relationship between Dr. Pepper and Dublin Bottling Works was friendly, until June 2011 when the Dr. PepperSnapple Group found Dublin was violating the terms of their agreement, of trademark dilution and selling outside their 44-mile radius.

Dr. Pepper-Snapple Group

sued Dublin Bottling Works and won.

Among their demands, they wanted the company to stop selling outside the 44-mile radius and to remove the “Dr. Pepper” from its name.

On Jan. 12, 2012, the production of Dublin Dr. Pepper came to a halt. From that point on, the company changed its name simply to Dublin Bottling Works.

“It was a really tough time.

Many people in town, they would walk by and see me and get this sad look on their face like they felt sad for me or what was happening,” Horton said.

Instead of folding, the company decided to rebrand itself and launch a new line of sodas made with the same pure cane sugar.

Though the old soda factory has reached a near museum state, there is still a fully-functioning soda fountain next door.

This soda fountain is what attracts visitors from all over the world who have come in search of Dr. Pepper.

While they may not find Dr. Pepper, visitors still have plenty of choices such as vintage Cola, Cream Soda, Cherry Limeade and Grape.

John Brooks, who lives near Dublin, said he was unaware of the changes to the company

Got an issue on campus?

Thanks to this Saturday's TEDActive Hackathon at SMU, there just might be an app for that.

SMU is one of five universities chosen by TEDx Interactive, an internationally respected community of think tanks and innovators, to host the first annual Hackathon.

Five teams made up of students, developers and programmers traveled to the Hilltop from around DFW to prototype a mobile app to fix problems that range from the inconvenience of parking to the difficulty of finding food and even the rise of violence on campus.

The teams had six hours to come up with the issue and design an app that could potentially solve it.

Mustang Navigate targeted parking and if fully developed, the application would gather data of traffic flow and parking patterns in SMU parking lots.

ID swipes and censors would keep track of the amount of cars in each parking lot and send the data to a server that would then send push notifications to mobile users with the number of spots available in each lot.

The designers of iLead, an app that would allow student government to track student concerns got attention with their mission to help solve multiple issues by expanding and strengthening the student body's voice to reach their representatives.

According to the designers of LightWeight, those voices are screaming for a more effective way to order food at

Mac's Place.

LightWeight was designed to serve as an electronic ordering system.

According to its developers, students would have the convenience of pre-ordering and a chance to pick up their food when it is ready.

Savannah Niles, an SMU senior and developer was concerned with the increased incidence of violence and sexual assault on campus, designed Party Star, a conversational app where students can rate annual parties and grade them in terms of safety and fun.

Niles wanted to design an app that "didn't feel administrative and did not feel programed and would work with SMU's party culture."

Niles said she did not think that the issue is SMU's party culture but rather it's potential relationship to violence and sexual violence on campus.

Niles said it is important to "generate a conversation about violence on campus," and that "cultural change at SMU is neccessary."

The engineers and developers lived up to SMU's party culture and instituted their version of the internet sensation's “Harlem Shake.”

But the dance was shortlived, unlike the winning app that will go on to have a chance to compete nationally with other TEDActive applications.

First place went to Pony Goggles, designed by Madelynn Martiniere and Shyamal Ruparel, this mobile app allows its user to navigate the campus with an interactive map and built in calendar that highlights the events happening in each building.

The designers wanted to make sure that all students could

be fully aware of campus activities while visitors could simply find their way.

Martiniere, who was impressed by the other apps, was surprised and happy to have won. "I had a great team," she said. "Overall I think it was our presentation that allowed us to win."

Christian Genco, an SMU engineering senior who only

had two weeks to prepare for the Hackathon was extremely satisfied.

Noting that SMU was one of five universities chosen to do the pilot program, Genco was convinced that Saturday's Hackathon marked "a revolutionary day at SMU." Genco prides SMU's diversity of innovative minds to the success of the Hackathon.

and even the new soda. Although unaware, he was more than willing to try.

“Now that’s good, I like that,” Brooks said while trying the Dublin Cherry Limeade.

Although Dr. Pepper isn’t the main attraction anymore, people are still flocking to the area to see what goes inside the bottle and to see the magic of Dublin Bottling Works.

And while the company may have seen better days, it still holds a special place in Horton’s heart.

“I actually met my wife here at the plant,” Horton said.

“She was visiting one summer and needed a job. She didn’t leave. I guess you could say that Dublin Bottling Works found me my wife.”

SMU-in-London study abroad students travel to the Lake District among other places while on the program.

Study abroad offers cultural opportunities Patricia Villacin Contributing Writer pvillacin@smu.edu One SMU student had a daily schedule others would be jealous of.

During the spring semester of her sophomore year, Elisa Farrell enjoyed morning runs through scenic hills, community service opportunities, trips to the beach in between classes and unique courses like Aboriginal history.

Every day of her semester abroad in Australia offered a new experience.

“I had only travelled by myself, without my family, once before,” Farrell said. “That was really awesome, but not even close to the same scale as being on the other side of the world for six months. Every day was different.”

Every year, approximately 550 SMU students take the opportunity to earn academic credit and enrich their global

awareness by immersing themselves in the culture of a foreign country.

SMU boasts 148 programs in 50 different countries.

SMU began offering students the chance to study abroad in 1969, with SMU-in-Spain being the first program.

It now offers academic year, semester, summer and winter programs as well as course study tours.

According to Nancy Simmons, Interim Director of Education Abroad, countries in Europe are where most students flock.

“Students generally go to Europe because they know more about it and are more comfortable living there. Expense is something they consider as well – the farther you go, airfare is more expensive,” Simmons said. “But [students] are branching out now that we have more programs.”

Simmons said students tend to choose programs that will allow them to meet some requirements

for their majors or minors or even just to gain elective credits.

Farrell, a management major, said finding a program that would match her academic requirements was easy, but sophomore Sandra Saenz had to do some research.

Saenz is majoring in math, political science and world languages and is in the process of applying to the SMU-in-South of France summer program in order to get ahead in her French credits.

“I actually was supposed to go abroad last semester but I was in a different major, so it was difficult because of the credits,” Saenz said.

“I would love to have the opportunity to do a whole semester but because of my majors, it’s really difficult to get the credits, especially for math and sciences. The summer program in France actually counts toward what I’m studying.”

Both Saenz and Farrell believe

the process of applying for the study abroad programs is smooth and effective.

Students interested in studying abroad must fill out an online application, meet a certain grade point average, submit professor recommendation letters and go through an interview process. Simmons said most of the students who apply are accepted.

If a student is receiving financial aid at SMU, it will also count toward study abroad.

Simmons said students need to get in touch with the financial aid office in order to work out arrangements with them.

Farrell, a President’s Scholar, said her scholarship paid for tuition expenses for her study abroad in Australia as well as last year’s SMU-in-London summer program.

With application due dates fast approaching, the SMU Abroad office has been busy organizing events and information sessions

to encourage students to participate in the programs.

“The best part of my job is that I get to see the ‘before and after’ with students and sometimes I’ll see a totally different person,” Simmons said.

“They become world travelers; they become more confident in themselves. I think students become citizens of the world after studying abroad.”

For Farrell, who returned to the Hilltop before the start of her junior year, the time she spent abroad was one of the best experiences she had through SMU. “This is the best time in your life to travel because after graduation, you’re going to have a job. Your job isn’t going to let you take off and go away for six months,” Farrell said.

“SMU makes the process so easy. I’ve picked up elements from different cultures and I feel kind of worldly now because I have all these experiences.”

Hollywood goes to France “The Big Chill” gets a French spin Manning Jordan Associate A&E Editor mjordan@smu.edu Guillaume Canet directs his wife, Marion Cotillard, among many other notable French actors in this French take on the American film, "The Big Chill" from 1983.

In French the title is "Les petits mouchoirs" and in English the film is “Little White Lies.”

Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin of "The Artist" plays Ludo who gets in a motorcycle accident in the start of the movie.

Despite their devastation, his friends go on their annual summer vacation without Ludo and enjoy the Cap Ferret sun and beach.

Ludo’s friends each have their own subplots.

The difference between the French version and the American is that the French version is essentially the story in reverse order.

The film is rather long, running 154 minutes. Fans of "The Big Chill" will recognize an eerily similar sound track in this French take.

For example the song, “The Weight” by The Band is featured

in both films.

Director Lawrence Kasdan’s "The Big Chill" was released in 1983 starring Glenn Close, William Hurt, Kevin Kline and many other actors.

After seeing this movie, Canet found that he could create a semi-autobiographical take himself.

In a recent interview Canet said, "I think we are living nowadays in a society where life goes so fast.

“When I spent a couple of weeks in the hospital after a little injury, I found that time in the hospital was a good time—you have nothing else to do—to just lay there and think.

“I’d been working a lot the few years before.

“I started thinking about my family and friends, and I thought also about a friend who I had lost, and how sometimes in your life you can be very selfish.

“You only think about yourself, and your work, and you forget about what’s important.”

Canet said, “When I left the hospital, I went on vacation with some friends.

“Sometimes you have friends for a really long time, and you are changing, or they

are changing—they have kids, etc.—and [if you have a problem with them,] you don’t want to tell them what you think because you don’t want to hurt them.

“You prefer to let things go on without really talking about the problems.

“I started thinking about all those little lies you tell yourself or your friends because you don’t want to hurt them or yourself.

What happens, though, is that the friendship becomes false.

“I suddenly realized I wanted to make a movie out of all these ideas—and about those little lies."

If you have never been to France, you will certainly feel the need to. The setting of Paris and Southern France, on top of frequent wine and cheese parties are exceptionally encouraging to the budding traveler.

Other cast members in the film are Francois Cluzet, Benoit Magimel, Gilles Lellouche, Laurent Lafitte, Pascale Arbillot and Joel Dupuch.

Although “The Big Chill” was originally released in 2010 in France during festival season, today it is available in On Demand via Netflix and DVD.

SMU will host guest speaker and visiting artist Dave McKenzie Monday night in Umphrey Lee 241.

Dave McKenzie to come to SMU Courtney Spalten A&E Editor cspalten@smu.edu Meadows will feature Dave McKenzie in the visiting artist lecture series on Monday, Feb. 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The lecture will be held in Umphrey Lee 241.

McKenzie’s works, often manifested in video or performance, explore identity, race, and public representation of self.

A major theme in his work is related to vantage points of public representation and the way these positions are open and available to different forms of interpretation.

His work often shows a sense of understanding of the inherent problems encountered in the communication between artist and viewer, and as an artist, McKenzie attempts to bridge that gap through the use of objects, actions, and a sense of humor.

McKenzie has often made use of his own likeness in his work, which often combines both humor as well as more serious issues.

In his 2012 video, “Wilfred and Me,” McKenzie repeats the phrase “Magic Johnson has AIDS,” and the phrase’s true meanings are revealed over time.

Like this video, his work often seems minimalist at first and eventually develops into a deeper meaning.

In the case of the video about AIDS, his video reached deeper meaning into the AIDS crisis, especially how it is manifested in the black community, and ultimately personal truth.

The New York based artist is also known for his performances and installations that exploit symbols of pop culture, such as a Bill Clinton mask, in order to display the ideological machine of identity.

His work places special

attention on social conventions and obligations and shows McKenzie’s new role as an artist.

In a statement from the Meadows School of the Arts, McKenzie’s work is described in the following manner: “What initially seems like a performance of a minimalist mantra, over time develops layers of meaning: poignant, exhausting, at times literally gut-wrenching, dealing with issues of hero worship, representations of masculinity, mortality, the AIDS crisis (especially as manifested in the black community) and ultimately personal truth.

Dave McKenzie’s public performances tend to go beyond traditional performance.

Don’t miss out the special opportunity to hear McKenzie tonight because it is an exciting event for the SMU community.

Tickets are free for all students.

Greek community divides SMU community W. Tucker keene Online Editor tkeene@smu.edu The recent assault at the Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) house highlighted one of the major problems in SMU’s community: an adversarial relationship between different parts of the Greek system.

The historical feuds between houses are not new, but should be viewed skeptically in light of recent events. As Student Body President Alex Mace pointed out, community has suffered and fallen apart in the past year or so, and it seems as if the Greek system has had a lot to do with this.

Fraternities and sororities are meant, ironically, to build a sense of community within a university,

and they do within each house.

As students pledge one house or another they bond with their pledge class.

But as the system pits fraternity against fraternity, sorority against sorority and as students align themselves with one house, the school-wide community divides itself. Fraternities act like political parties in Student Senate elections, negative stereotypes of sororities get posted on websites like Elite Daily.

A sense of competition between houses is one thing, but it becomes a problem once it escalates into violent or hateful behavior. When it escalates to vandalism, torture or hate there is a serious problem.

If we want to rebuild a sense of community between different Greek houses, this adversarial

relationship has to return to friendly competition.

Inter-fraternity conflict needs to cool down.

Perhaps it isn’t entire houses that antagonize each other, but because of the nature of the system, individual actors within the community are very easily able to act on behalf of their entire house.

Feuds that should be between a few individuals end up becoming wars between two entire fraternities.

Conflict between sororities may not get violent, but the cliquish relationship between houses doesn’t help foster a strong community either. The Elite Daily article posted earlier this year highlighted this problem perfectly. Saying an entire sorority is filled with “social outcasts” or that another one is no longer top tier because it has some

overweight girls in it is ridiculous and hateful.

By and large, the faction-like behavior of the Greek system is splitting the student body and is at the heart of much of the strife within the community that Mace spoke out against in his article.

We as a community need to recognize these issues and try to fix them. We need to return to why students got involved in the Greek system in the first place — it wasn’t to look down on others, it was to bond with like-minded individuals.

Returning to this mindset will not fix everything, but it would go a long way toward mending the broken community ties at SMU.

Does SMU need a culture change like student body president Alex Mace says? @adellawinder: SMU needs to see some positive changes in order to become a real community. #macespeaks

adella winder @benguthrie: Be excellent to each other.

ben guthrie @k_sharkey: Yes! Well said, Mace #macespeaks

In football, June Jones could benefit from higher recruiting expectations I was raised on the home turf of the SEC, so I am being a brat when I say this, but I wanted and expected a better recruiting class out of June Jones and company for the upcoming football season.

Now, granted, I realize that we can’t keep up with the over-hyped recruiting classes at the University of Texas that seem destined to slip into mediocrity year after year while we get better on average

(yes, I’m aware we went 7-6 last year.) But, I think that we are not maximizing our school’s potential to get “smart” recruits.

You see, there are plenty of schools like ours that get the right recruits year after year: highly touted guys that just find a way to win and are decent scholars to boot. These schools also have similar academic standards to us. I’m talking about University of Miami, Stanford,

Vanderbilt and Notre Dame. I’m simply saying that if these schools can pull in four, and every once in a while, five-star recruits, we should be able to as well.

I’m not a master recruiter, nor will I ever claim to be, but I do wonder why these other schools are getting such good recruits, and we are getting (very good) recruits, but not the ones that bring muchneeded hype to the Hilltop.

Our recruiting schtik may not ever be our number of Heisman winners or national championships, but we do have a big name coach and some decent academics. I wonder if we are selling those points hard enough to future Mustang student athletes.

Indian women have different career goals “Well, in any case, I will get married off in a year or so, and from then on, I will see how I can adjust my career according to the family I’ll have.” This was the response of a fellow female Indian student I met on campus when I asked her about her immediate future plans after graduate school.

It wasn’t a surprising answer to me: this is perhaps the way a vast majority of Indian girls would answer if asked about their career plans after their undergraduate degree. This particular student was already pursuing a graduate degree in the U.S., and even with an educated family background, she could only view her future as hanging on such fine balance: hoping earnestly that her future husband, through an arranged marriage, would be supportive of

her career.

When I heard that statement, the response to the same question by an American friend of mine inevitably came to my mind.

She had graduated with a degree in family studies and was hoping to work with children with developmental delays. Before she told me about her major, I never even knew someone could get a degree in such a field. And here she was, explaining how she and her boyfriend were planning to shift to another state within the U.S., so she can take up a great job offer there, and he would try to acquire a job in the city she would be in.

This is not a generalized picture of both societies, of course, but it is definitely a reality. When I heard my Indian friend talk about her ambitions as if they were a function of her luck in finding a complacent groom, I thought about how secure she might be feeling about her education and life ahead.

complexities of caste, astrology and age restrictions in India, what are the chances that she would find such a groom within the age window that society has judged acceptable for its women to marry?

My friend had simply followed her older siblings by choosing engineering studies as a career since that was a ‘natural choice’ in India. And although to her credit she indeed did very well, all the efforts that she might put into her research, her relentless pursuit for a scholarship, could all be a story of legend she would perhaps tell her children at bed time 10 years from now.

Looking at the Indian society from afar and comparing it with the West gives me the opportunity to see pros and cons in both. But one painful reality back home shames me most: our judgments and stubbornness to tame and domesticate our women. How women are judged based on their

marital status and ‘homeliness’ rather than their ambition and merit.

But if this was just another grim example of all that is wrong with the arranged marriage system in India, why was she here in the first place spending thousands of dollars on a degree that would tax most of her youthful years and her parents’ financial savings?

The answer is the ray of hope that gives me reason to argue our case to the world about Indian women and our current society: our constant willingness to adapt and grow. It makes me proud whenever I see my Indian friend at a research meeting or make a smart move in class. She may not know how her future husband would value her education and her ambitions, but she surely knows how to make the best of what comes her way.

I’m going to begin this with a story. Friday morning while waiting in the Blanton Building with my high-school-aged little sister for her tour of the campus to start, I encouraged her to do what I typically do three times a week — read The Daily Campus.

After a characteristically typical comment from her questioning why a newspaper that is published tri-weekly has the word “daily” in its title, she directed me to Christopher Saul’s piece on the definition of hazing, which I hadn’t gotten to yet as I was rereading Student Body President Mace’s letter which I thought looked almost as good in print as it did when he delivered it to the Senate on Tuesday.

But back to my sister. She had read Saul’s piece and then started laughing at what she correctly perceived as a ludicrous interpretation the Texas Hazing Statute. Saul’s misreading of the statute would have readers believe that mild or completely passive activities like workouts in athletics, the wearing of school uniforms or parents having their children make healthy eating choices qualify as hazing.

Let me make this clear: that is not what the statute says or does.

Frankly, I find the idea that any statute might do so laughable on the basis that no Texas Legislature, especially the 74th which was made up of democrats who had just defied the odds and managed to hold onto both chambers despite the republican wave of 1994, would pass such a law. No governor, especially then Governor George W. Bush, would sign such a law, and even if Texas somehow elected a legislature and governor who together wanted to commit group political suicide there is no way such a statute would endure for eighteen years without being repealed or struck down in its entirety by the courts.

What the statute actually does is provides a legally distinct definition of hazing that is framed by a set of banned activities which qualify as hazing

and in listing those activities provides a non-exhaustive set of possible examples.

For instance, the statute bans “any type of physical brutality, such as whipping, beating, striking, branding, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful substance on the body or similar activity.” In this case the banned conduct is physical brutality and then a list of what might be physical brutality is provided.

The statute also bans “any type of physical activity, such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, confinement in a small space, calisthenics or other activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student.”

In this case the law defines hazing as any physical activity that presents an unreasonable (a legal term that typically means unreasonable in the eyes of an average member of society and does not include regular athletic practice, school uniforms or the ordinary consumption of vegetables) risk of harm to the student’s health or safety, while again providing a non-exhaustive list of activities that could be or become unreasonably harmful.

The Texas Hazing Statute is not perfect, no law is, but in terms of helping to hold those who haze legally accountable the law is remarkably good as it was written and as it has been applied by the courts. It has not become some broad Orwellian mechanism for Texas to attempt the prevention of harm through fascist regulation of persons everyday lives.

While Saul’s point that hazing is bad and should stopped is correct and something I agree with, his misconstrued understanding of what the Texas Hazing Statute says and does needs to be corrected. I can only hope that most of the students who read it laughed as my sister did, rather than accept his statements on the law as being accurate.

Women on the hunt for redemption in Florida Andrew Hattersley Staff Writer ahattersley@smu.edu

Two players collide in the FA Cup match between Everton and Oldham.

The savior of DFW’S sports lull is European Soccer MaTTHEW Costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu This is a pretty tough time of the year to be a fan of sports around this area. The Cowboys are looking like they will be mediocre for a few more seasons, the Mavericks are in turmoil for the foreseeable future, and the Rangers did everything they could to disappoint their fan base in the offseason.

What can a DFW sports fan do in times like this when success seems so distant and unpredictable?

Do what I did one year ago and start to follow soccer.

Now don’t go looking away from this article just because you don’t care for the perceived shortcomings of European athletes. Don’t assume that just because Lionel Messi can’t tackle a 250-pound running back at the goal line that soccer players are weak and fragile.

These men are freaks of nature, running an average of eight miles per match, not to mention getting

checked and elbowed the whole way.

It’s difficult to branch out and accept certain players as genuine whenever a bit of air rushes over their arm too quickly, but it’s not like an American football player’s never taken a dive before either.

Toughness aside, it’s easy to pick up on who’s who, especially now that the Champion’s league, the equivalent of the NFL playoffs, is in full swing right now.

The simplest way to go about picking a team is to do it before you ever sit down to watch a match.

Your best bet is to follow a team in either the English premier league or one of the two juggernauts in the Spanish league, La Liga.

Now I am not one to condone front running by any means, but in this instance, it is almost impossible not to when your options really only include names such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

These are the safest bets by far simply because you will almost

always be able to find a way to easily watch their matches without having to pay outrageous fees for a new cable package.

After picking a team to follow, find a way to watch their next three matches. Most teams have some way to watch their games online, but if that is not a practical solution, there are several sports bars and clubs to join in DFW that can offer watching parties.

Personally I became a fan of Chelsea this time a year ago because of these ample options and to give myself something new to follow and root for. It’s not difficult to do if you just give it a chance.

If Europe isn’t something you think you’ll enjoy watching, don’t forget FC Dallas’ season begins next month, and you can’t tell me Frisco’s too far away for a match.

So go ahead and branch out for a while. Give in to a more European state of mind and watch a little football.

The SMU Mustangs’ women’s golf team will look to bounce back in the Central Distric Tournament in Parrish Florida after their performance in the Puerto Rico Classic last week.

The field features a decently tough field with five teams ranked in the top 50. Vanderbilt will be the class of the field as the 14th best team in the nation followed closely by host Michigan State.

The Mustangs will look for another strong outing from senior leader Felicia Espericueta who opened the year with an impressive eleventh place finish in Puerto Rico.

SMU will also look for a recovery from Melanie White and Alexandra Rossi after they got off to a slow start in their first event of the year.

The Mustangs hope to take advantage of a relatively short course this weekend but the course does not come without challenges. Holes six and 14 will be key as they come in as the hardest two holes on the course.

On hole six, the drive is relatively straight forward as most players will avoid using driver. However on the second shot the green is guarded by water in the front followed by a bunker that makes an up and down extremely difficult.

The 14th hole however will probably decide this tournament based on how the team plays it. It is the toughest hole on the course with a long approach still awaiting after a tough tee shot.

Water runs all the way along the left side of the hole and players cannot afford to miss right as this will leave a tough approach into a green that is also guarded by water and a beach bunker. Bogey is not a bad score on this hole but players will want to avoid anything worse.

One of the keys to the tournament on a course that is somewhat short but tricky will be playing with awareness.

Players will do well to shoot for the middles of greens and try to play consistent golf.

Consistency is the key for the Mustangs this week as they look

to build on some early preseason hype and put Puerto Rico in the rearview mirror.

The tournament will take place all day Monday and Tuesday, while the men will continue competing in the Puerto Rico Classic until Tuesday.

Mustangs’ woes continue despite a valiant effort Billy Embody Staff Writer wembody@smu.edu

SMU sophomore guard Kristin Askew setting up a possession in a game against Houston.

Lady Mustangs make a late run to rise above Memphis Scott SAnford Staff Writer wsanford@smu.edu Despite turning the ball over 18 times and being out-shot, the Lady Mustangs (19-5, 10-1 C-USA) squeaked away with a win, beating the Memphis Tigers (14-11, 5-6 C-USA) 74-67.

After losing for the first time in conference play on Thursday, the Mustangs needed a late second-half push to make sure this victory did not slip through the cracks.

SMU’s push was led by Alisha Filmore’s 21 points and Akil Simpson’s season-high 17 rebounds.

Filmore was 7-13 from the field and 3-5 from three-point range.

Simpson, who led the team in rebounding, also added 13 points.

Keena Mays, the reigning Conference-USA player of the week, was only 4-11 from the field, but her seven made free throws helped her finish with 17 points, good enough for second on the team.

SMU’s big-three didn’t do

much in the first half, but the team’s strong play in the second half helped the Mustangs get back to their winning ways.

In the first half, the Mustangs continued to struggle shooting, hitting only 11-30 shots (36.7 percent).

SMU fell behind early, going down by as many as nine points to the Tigers in the first half.

However, the Mustangs battled back with help from Simpson (9 rebounds, 4 points).

The Mustangs luckily outrebounded the Tigers substantially, 24-12, which helped offset their poor shooting performance.

SMU took back the lead for the first time since the opening minutes when Mallory Singleton hit two free throws to put the Mustangs up 30-29.

In the second half the Mustangs played much better basketball, cutting down significantly on their unforced errors.

SMU only turned the ball over six times after turning the ball over 12 times in the first half.

In the second half the Tigers

only had nine points off of the Mustangs’ mistakes, which was an improvement for SMU after giving up 16 points off of mistakes in the first half.

Despite SMU’s improved play, the Tigers were able to keep the Mustangs on edge, scoring 24 points in the paint in the second half alone.

The Tigers and Mustangs battled back-and-forth, trading shot-forshot most of the second half.

But with just over five minutes remaining in the game, Lexus Williams hit two free throws to give the Mustangs a 62-60 lead and they never looked back after that.

SMU shot the ball considerably better, going 13-27 from the field.

Filmore had 16 of her 21 points in the second half, providing SMU with an offensive punch they lacked in the first 20 minutes.

In the end, it was the Mustangs’ offense that helped propel them to the victory.

SMU will look to continue their winning ways when they return to Moody Coliseum on Thursday to take on Tulsa at 7 p.m.

SMU was not able to change their recent fortunes in New Orleans, falling to Tulane 7867 on Saturday afternoon. The Green Wave was led by Ricky Tarrant, who scored 25 points, and Jordan Callahan, who added 20 points off the bench to drop the Mustangs to 3-8 in C-USA play.

Tarrant, who scored 24 points against the Mustangs in a losing effort in Dallas earlier this season, was 7-of14 shooting and made 4 of 8 from 3-point range against the Mustangs to pull the Green Wave within a game of .500 in C-USA play (5-6).

The Mustangs knocked down 56.3 percent from the field, but struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 2 of 6. Even with the Mustangs’ starters all scoring in double figures, led by Shawn Williams with 16 points, the team could not sweep the season series against Tulane.

SMU once led by as many as 14 in the game in the first half, but the team fell a part late in the game even though the team had over 42 minutes played by the Mustangs’ bench.

With 3:29 to go in the game, the Mustangs trailed by just three points, 65-62, but Tarrant responded with consecutive 3-pointers and Ben Cherry added another to build a big cushion for the Green Wave to cruise to victory.

Even though the Mustangs outrebounded the Green Wave 31-22, the Mustangs could not overcome Tulane being on fire from 3-point range.

Where the Mustangs really struggled was on the turnover

margin, forcing only 12 turnovers, but committing 20 of their own.

Ryan Manuel struggled the most, having six turnovers on the night. The lack of a true point guard available for SMU has led

to most of the struggles on the season offensively for SMU. Next game for SMU is a home game against East Carolina at Moody Coliseum on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. CT.
