Cancer survivors from the April 15, 2011 Relay for Life walk around the boulevard to kick off the event in solidarity with survivors the world round.

Fight cancer, honor survivors MEGAN GROSSE Contributing Writer mgrosse@smu.edu Karen Gray was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. After struggling through her treatment and its effects, Gray was invited by SMU Chi Omega to participate in SMU’s 2006 Relay For Life. With parents, friends and fellow Chi Omegas, Gray began her Relay, and with it her calling to promote awareness for all types of cancer. “I remember searching for

any with my name on them. Would anyone remember me? Would I find my name?” Gray said, reflecting on her first look at the luminaries that lined the Boulevard. “There were uncles remembered, aunts, childhood friends, teachers ... and then there it was ... ‘Keg’ — someone had remembered me.” Relay For Life strives to celebrate the lives of those who have survived, remember those who have passed and initiate a promise to fight against cancer. The SMU community

will come together on April 13 for a night of recognition, remembrance, games, music and fellowship, as people show their support in the fight against cancer through SMU’s ninth annual Relay For Life. This year SMU’s Relay will include entertainment from a variety of groups and performers, including Mustang Mavericks, Belle Tones, Southern Gentlemen, the Stefani Little Band, Empower African dancers, MOVE, TREAT, Spencer Fox and more. In addition to song and dance, participants will have a chance

to partake in several contests, a wing-eating contest and car smash and other activities, some of which include a Zumba class, yoga class, hair donation, kick-boxing class, movie on the lawn, a wide selection of food and desserts and several other on-site fundraisers. Megan Marchant, an SMU student and member of SMU’s Relay For Life board, is hopeful that this year’s fundraising will surpass last year’s amount of a little over $100,000.

Engineering & Humanity week kicks off TASHIKA VARMA Assignments Desk Editor tvarma@smu.edu SMU will be having its second annual Engineering & Humanity Week from April 16 to April 20. To prepare for this week, students have started building the Living Village on the lawn just north of the Cox School of Business. Students will live, cook and sleep in temporary shelters. This year the structures will focus on long-term living for displaced populations versus last year’s structures were focused on short-term living shelters. This year there are two student only projects. The first shelter, titled “SMU Habitat for Humanity Shelter” will be designed and built the SMU chapter of Habitat for Humanity. “Engineering in Humanity Week’s goals directly align with Habitat for Humanity's goals,” Gwen, a freshman Civil Engineer and Spanish major, said on the Engineering and Humanity Week website.

“We want to enable people everywhere to live healthy, productive lives, regardless of where they are born. Home ownership enables stability, community, and safety for families and children, which in turn brings about an increase in education and economic prospects.” The other project will be designed and built by a group of students who won a Lyle School design competition. The group decided to title the shelter “’Rajo’ Shelter at Tasfa.” Tasfa means hope in Ethiopian. All the building materials are native to Ethiopia. The seniors participating in the design project are Ford Binning, Mary Catherine Corey, Farhan Fazal and Michelle Senner. Engineering & Humanity Week is sponsored by Hunter and Stephanie Hunt, the Hunt Institute for Engineering and Humanity at Southern Methodist University’s Lyle

Cavender wins runoff election TASHIKA VARMA Assignments Desk Editor tvarmas@smu.edu Last week, Alex Mace, Katherine Ladner and Sam Martinez were elected as student body officers. Mace will be the 2012 to 2013 student body president; Ladner will be the student body secretary; Martinez will be the graduate liaison officer. After the elections, the vice president position was still up in the air. The three candidates, Zane Cavender, Travis Carlile and Cohagen Wilkinson ran for the position.

Once the polls closed, none of the candidates got a majority of the votes. Student Senate then held a run off election between Canvender and Carlile. Polls opened Wednesday and closed Thursday at 5 p.m. Canvender walked away with the position. One thousand one hundred and one ballots were cast by the student body during the runoff election. Cavender received 630 votes, while Carlile received 471 votes. Cavender along with the other candidates that were elected will be inaugurated at the official Senate Inauguration on April 24 at 3 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Commons.

Students sport turbans, learn about Sikhism AN PHAN Contributing Writer aphan@smu.edu More than 180 SMU students attended SMU Sikh Student Association’s Sikh Turban Day, where they got turbans tied on their heads and learned about the Sikh religion. Members of the Sikh Student Association as well as Sikh students from University of Texas-Dallas, University of North Texas and University of Texas-Arlington stood outside of Dallas Hall from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday tying turbans and educating the SMU community on the Sikh religion and the history of turbans. They also provided free Indian food, T-shirts and gift cards. The event was to raise awareness of the Sikh religion around campus. Students were taught the history of the turban and the Sikh religion while getting their turbans tied, and they were to wear the turbans for three hours and then return them for free T-shirts and gift cards. Junior Travis Carlile, while getting his turban tied, said that it was “a good event to raise awareness of the Sikh religion.”

TAYLOR HENRY/The Daily Campus

Members of the Sikh Student Association tied turbans around students heads in front of Dallas Hall Wednesday morning as part of their annual Sikh Turban Day. The event raises awareness of Sikh culture and history.

Responses to the event were positive, as many students wearing turbans were seen around campus all day. “Watching students take time to experience aspects from cultures other than their own is a great unifying factor on our campus,” first-year Monica Finnegan said.

“Today, I learned how to wrap a turban.” Jaywin Malhi, a member of the Sikh Student Association, commented on the turnout of the event. “I think it’s been a success,” Malhi said. “It’s rewarding to see people appreciate the religion and

be enlightened about it.” Malhi’s average turban tying time Wednesday was five minutes, but he usually takes about 15 minutes to tie his own turban every morning. Sawi Gill, a Sikh student from UTD, was pleased with the success

AMERICAN BEAUTY: FASHION BOOKS

SHELBY FOSTER Style Editor slfoster@smu.edu

Affordable luxury comes in many different forms — an ultraplush blanket, Chanel’s newest nail color or Dior perfume in a sample size. One of the best ways to amp up the glam without breaking the bank is a beautiful coffee table book. Assouline, a book publishing company founded in 1994, just launched their newest tome this week. “American Beauty,” by Claiborne Swanson Frank and Genevieve Bahrenberg, captures over 100 women in the fashion industry between the patriotic covers. Assouline and Vogue have been working together on a book tour for Swanson Frank and Bahrenberg, which made a stop in Dallas on Wednesday night at Neiman Marcus. The two very stylish women were seated in the cosmetic department of the NorthPark Center store, signing copies and chatting with attendees who had purchased the required amount of Estee Lauder cosmetics. In the spirit of “American Beauty,” the makeup brand partnered with Vogue and

Bahrenburg worked with the women in an aesthetic and intellectual conversation in order to create the most accurate and beautiful portrait. “It was really a collaboration with these women,” Swanson Frank said. “We wanted to encapsulate them in beautiful portraiture.” Swanson Frank delved into the women’s personal closets to conjure up a look that spoke to the woman’s true self. Swanson Frank is well-known for her work with Lauren Santo Domingo for Vogue in the past, but has now developed a career as a photographer. Bahrenburg, who earned her chops as a features editor at Elle, provided all the copy inside “American Beauty.” Alongside each photograph, there is a bold quote and miniature biography of the featured woman, sizing them up in a few wellchosen words. Krystal Schlegel, a SMU senior and fashion blogger, was among the few that attended the pre-launch dinner at the Mansion on Turtle Creek Tuesday night.

Drummer from The Police speaks at SMU JOE RICHARDSON Staff Writer joeyr@smu.edu A renowned composer and rock and roll hall of famer is currently at SMU. Stewart Copeland, the drummer and founding member of The Police is currently doing a mini residence. Copeland came on Wednesday to attend the Meadows Percussion Ensemble Spring Concert in Caruth Auditorium. The former Police band member came to see the performance of his work “The Gene Pool.” He was here to meet the performers and to thank them. “I’ll thank them all for honoring me by playing my work,” he said. He came to Dallas for two reasons. “They were going to play my tunes and I always like that. Also, Dallas, I’ve had some good times in Dallas and Fort Worth. I like going

to Dallas. I’ve got friends there.” On Friday afternoon, the famous rocker will give a lecture in the O’Donnell Auditorium. He will speak about his life, his time with The Police and his career after the band parted ways. “I’ve done a lot of things with my life. The Police were eight years of my 60. All kinds of strange stuff happened in those other 52 years,” he said. He enjoys talking about his time with The Police. “That’s the easiest thing to talk about. That’s what most people are interested in and those are some pretty wild adventures,” he said. “I’m real proud of The Police because it contrasts with the work I do now. “ Since his time with The Police, Copeland has composed pieces for film, TV, orchestras, ballets and has even appeared on the popular television show “Storage Wars.”

Real challenges. Unreal support.

making music. “They [orchestra and TV/ film composing] both have their joys. But nothing beats art for arts sake,” he said. “Any time you get to follow your instincts and do something just because it’s cool is way better than doing something just because they’re paying you for it.” He does, however, recommend aspiring composers take work composing for television. “I recommend that any composer, serious or otherwise, start off with doing a television series,” he said. “That is the boot camp of composing. You got a show every week.” About his time with The Police, he said, “Both of the guys in the police have very large musical vocabularies. There’s a lot that I learned from those cats — much

as I wanted to strangle them. The success of The Police, not just the commercial success but the feeling of having audiences respond so powerfully, definitely is a vitamin.” Fame and the impact of awards do diminish overtime, however. “Exponentially, the fizz dissipates and it’s just a piece of metal on the shelf. It’s still great,” he said. “But there are other things in life that can be uplifting — such as children and family, awards aren’t really one of those things. A lot of the mystique of fame might distract people from what everybody knows and that is, every famous person, no matter how spectacular they are, still just put their pants on one leg at a time. You live and breathe just like everybody else.” The former Police drummer will be at SMU until Friday.

A freshman’s educational perspective Katie Schaible kschaible@smu.edu As we rapidly approach the year’s end and the sunlight of summer becomes more clear in the distance, I am shocked that my first year of college is already behind me. Can I please just go back to Mustang Corral and live this year over again? With prospective students showing up just about every day now, I am constantly reminded of where I was this time just one year ago — a high school senior, distracted by prom dresses and graduation parties, eager to make my way to Dallas. Red, blue and mustangs found their way into my wardrobe and my afternoons were spent shopping for dorm décor. To say the least, my eyes were set unwaveringly upon SMU. I had high expectations for this place. When I was daydreaming about college one year ago, for some

reason the thought of actually learning something never crossed my mind. Instead, I pondered only about dorm life, parties, cafeteria food, and meeting new people. Never once did I actually envision myself inside a classroom or, God forbid, a library. Why is it that we go off to college to get an education, but never actually consider the process of receiving that education? Until all of a sudden… bam! There we are, practically sick to our stomachs before our first real college exam. So now that I am older and wiser, having lived away from home for an entire year and survived two very full and exhausting semesters (almost), I can appreciate all that I’ve learned here at SMU. The most important thing I’ve learned on this beautiful campus is how truly lucky I am. I have a newfound appreciation for my freedom to learn and the

educational opportunities that this institution presents. It’s amazing that we are able to spend four years with other students, simply opening our minds and eyes to the world around us, taking everything in and learning as much as possible. Although it may sometimes seem like an endless cycle of class, study, exam, class, paper, library, there is so much value in the opportunity to receive such a high-quality education — something to which so many people in the world don’t have access. But outside of this profound revelation, there are a few other things that college has taught me. First, it’s OK to miss your mom sometimes. Although everyone tries to act like they don’t for a while, there comes a point when we all let go of our pride and just admit that we really do miss our families. And that is OK. Second, setting aside time to do laundry is essential to ones overall

Column

Students Sikh new cultural experiences Michael Graves mgraves@smu.edu I like to dress nicely when I’m on campus, especially when I have meetings to attend all day long. Wednesday is the busiest day of my week. Therefore, I always dress to the nines to give me an extra boost of confidence that helps me push through a solid 16 hour day. This past Wednesday I wore my comfortable loafers, dress jeans, French cuff shirt, blazer with the mandatory Peruna lapel pin and a turban. Oh yea, I sported a turban. The SMU Sikh Students Association hosted “Sikh Turban Day” on Wednesday, encouraging people to come to its table, wear a turban for a few hours, eat some great food and most importantly, learn about the Sikh religion from their peers. It was a fabulous event. Not only were the people incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and provided great food (I had fried spinach and a lovely wrap, all vegetarian of course), but the event helped to alleviate some of the stereotypes that people have against those who wear turbans every day. Of course, anyone who knows me understands that I’m a “libber” when it comes to religious freedoms, and even I thought that most people in the United States who wear turbans were Muslim, it turns out, most are Sikhs! I realized that I still have much to learn about both communities. What really excited me, however, was the fact that the Sikh Students Association felt comfortable hosting this event to educate their peers about their religion. Although SMU is an incredibly diverse campus, I often think that many people assume most students come from a Christian background. The university setting is a great place to learn more about our friends’ religions not because we are in an academic setting, but because we are surrounded by such an eclectic group of people. I have Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Pagan and Jewish friends. I learn so much from them with each conversation. Even if I don’t agree with their viewpoints (and heck, I argue with my Christian friends all the time!), I would support their right to practice their religions freely and peacefully no matter the cost. I am happy to say that SMU is allowing room for discussion and education for these different religions. So what did I learn from Sikh Turban Day? The turban is to be respected, cannot be tossed to the ground and cannot be stepped on. Those wearing it cannot smoke, drink alcohol or speak negatively of other religions. And I have to say, going three hours without a cigarette during a stressful day was a religious experience in itself (a big thanks to the Sikh group for keeping my intake down for a day). I was able to see how much discipline the practitioners have while wearing the turban, talk and meet with some new friends and learn more about the Sikh religion. I cannot do the Sikh religious teachings, or this experience, justice in one article. However, I can encourage everyone to look out for more events that discuss the diverse, religious community in Dallas, and continue to learn and understand those different from yourself. Michael is a sophomore majoring in communications studies and religious studies.

happiness. For some reason, a clean room and clean clothes equate to peace for me. Unfortunately, it took a couple months for me to figure this one out. Staying in one night to do chores is not the end of the world. I’ve also learned that friends are important. And not just any friends, I mean real friends. The good, kind friends who will take care of you and know that you will take care of them; friends you can cry around (or maybe that’s just a girl thing); friends who stick around during rough times, unlike the kind from high school. I also learned that when it comes to living with someone, you have to be flexible and low-maintenance. Not everyone sees the importance in refraining from leaving dirty clothes on the bathroom floor. And, that is something I can let go of. I also learned that relationships in college are a lot more serious, and a lot better. I learned that Easy Mac is precious. In fact, so is anything else that is microwaveable, really. I learned that there’s nothing wrong with having omelets from Umphrey-Lee more than five times a week. Also, frozen yogurt actually does have calories (sadly, it’s really not that much healthier than ice cream at all). I learned that the world is a big place with a lot of people in it. A lot of bad things happen, but a lot of good things happen, too. We have the power to change the bad things and increase the good. My college experience has far exceeded my expectations. I am still the same me, but I sure have learned a lot. I can’t wait to see what I will learn in the next three years. Katie is a freshman majoring in dance, international studies and human rights.

Political Science Symposium attracts political culture to SMU KEVIN EATON kceaton@smu.edu

As the President of the Political Science Symposium (PSS), I would like to take the opportunity to make a few points of clarification regarding recent posts in The Daily Campus that have made mention of our organization. I think it’s worth noting at the outset that above all else, the Political Science Symposium does not wish for itself or for other organizations to be dragged into a personal policy dispute. In its 25 year history at SMU, the Political Science Symposium has dedicated itself to producing events that appeal to political science students and to SMU students in general who enjoy discussing salient national political topics in a non-partisan format.

For example, in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Symposium hosted its annual spring debate that focused, respectively, on gay marriage, the Israel/Palestine conflict and the geopolitical strategy that the U.S. should employ when dealing with the ‘Arab Spring.’ Each year, the Symposium also sponsors a Law School Panel, consisting of current law students, for those undergraduates thinking about going to law school, a Career Panel featuring SMU alums discussing ways to use their degrees for public service (including one of last year’s panelists who is one of the newest staff members of the National Security Council) and a number of student/faculty mixers to allow students to meet political science professors and have tremendous networking opportunities with the speakers who attend our events.

Finally, I would also like to say that the Political Science Symposium has always enjoyed a friendly and cooperative relationship with the Student Senate. Senate has always been willing to help us attract some very important political figures like Sen. Chris Dodd and Sarah Weddington (who argued Roe v. Wade) to our programs. Were it not for their funding, SMU students would not be able to enjoy listening to these individuals. Last year, at the suggestion of a Student Senator, PSS donated a portion of its funding to help finance the Dallas Mayoral Debate being held on the SMU campus. This year, the Student Senate appropriated to us a significant amount of money to help fund our annual programs for next year. Needless to say, we have a long and cooperative relationship

with the Student Senate and are thankful for Senate’s funding for the upcoming year and look forward to the continuation of the relationship between the two organizations. Sincerely, Kevin Eaton President, Political Science Symposium Dr. Dennis Simon Professor of Political Science and Co-Advisor to the Political Science Symposium Dr. Joseph Kobylka Professor of Political Science and Co-Advisor to the Political Science Symposium Kevin is a senior majoring in political science, economics and public policy.

entrance into the Big East and the over $30 million renovation of Moody Coliseum. Yet, SMU has yet to grab the attention of coaches on their radar. The latest denial SMU received in the coach search has many wondering when SMU will start going after a more realistic hire — someone who is in a place to begin rebuilding a team who has not gone to the NCAA Tournament since 1993. Not long ago, Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown expressed interest in coaching for SMU, but it is not clear if SMU feels the same. Next on the list of contenders is allegedly Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton, as reported by CBS Sports. It is guaranteed the Mustangs will have a basketball coach next season, but who exactly will be courtside is the $1 million — or rather $2 million — question.

With the departure of Coach Doh, Mustang fans are left wondering who the SMU Athletic Department will hire to lead the Men’s Basketball team.

The No. 5 ranked SMU equestrian team defeated No.12 ranked Tennessee-Martin 5-3 Thursday night to advance to the second round of the National Collegiate Equestrian Championships for the first time in school history. Senior Jordyn Pettersen led the team with two first-place finishes of her own, reaffirming her position as captain of the team. The Mustangs tied TenneseeMartin in the flat, with each team coming away with two wins of their own in the event. Freshman All-American Emma Roberts defeated Kara Bergenty 111-105, while Pettersen earned her first win of the night in her impressive125-113 finish over Caroline Cramer.

RELAY: SMU hopes to raise record amount continued from page 1

“Our goal is to raise $116,000 or more,” Marchant said. “Right now we have raised $76,915, compared to last year, to date, which was $28,852. As you can see, this year has been a special year for fundraising, so we hope to raise a record amount for SMU’s Relay this year.” Marchant hopes to have around 1,000 participants by the night of the Relay, although she said many more would join the night of the event. She encourages everyone who wants to participate in the event to register online and begin their personal fundraising before the night of the Relay. Relay is a special event for many people, and Marchant is no exception. “Relay For Life for me means a world with more birthdays. I know that we all have been affected by cancer in some manner and strongly believe that we can find a cure for this terrible disease,” Marchant said. “I hope to one day live in a world where there is a cure

for cancer and believe Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society can make this hope one day a reality.”

Dr. Klatt ran for more than 83 miles, and meanwhile all his friends, family and patients who had come to support him donated

more birthdays -Megan Marchant Since 1985, the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life has been doing just that: raising money to fight against cancer. The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life began in Tacoma, Wash., when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon, desired to increase the income of his local American Cancer Society office, while also showing support for all his patients who had battled cancer. Taking the initiative, Dr. Klatt chose to raise the money by running. In May of 1985, Dr. Klatt ran for 24 hours around the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound.

$25 to run or walk with him for 30 minutes. That first year he raised $27,000 to fight cancer. While running, Dr. Klatt realized a 24-hour team relay event could raise even more money to fight cancer. Dr. Klatt went on to put together a committee to plan the first team relay event. In 1986, the first team Relay took place, raising $33,000. Today, Klatt’s vision has expanded to Relays for all ages including Community Relay, College Relay, High School Relay, Relay Field Day, Relay Recess and Bark For Life. At all levels, however, Relay

of the event. “It’s a really good turnout, and it’s positive for our community,” Gill said. “A lot of people think of the turban as a negative symbol, and we are changing that perception to a positive one.” Sikhism was founded in India in 1500 as a religion in reaction to Hindu and Islam, and it is now the fifth largest religion in the world. Sikhs see their hair as a gift from God, so they do not cut it.

includes a Survivor’s Lap, during which cancer survivors start off the night’s event and take the first lap, a Luminaria Ceremony, where individuals take the opportunity to remember those touched by cancer by placing a candle inside a bag with the name of a loved one on it, and last is the Fight Back Ceremony, where participants make a commitment to fight against cancer. Samantha Matthews, an SMU senior and member of the Relay For Life board at SMU, said, “That’s the reason I’m doing this. That’s why I Relay.” Matthews’ grandmother passed away from cancer, and now her dear friend Makenna Loerwald is fighting against the disease. Kenna’s Crew will be participating in SMU’s Relay For Life, something that holds a special place in Matthews’ heart. Matthews is not alone. Countless students and members of SMU’s community have been touched by cancer in one way or another. But, through Relay for Life, they are able to commemorate the lives of friends and family and take up the fight against cancer.

The turban used to be a symbol of aristocracy, like a crown, but now it is worn by all to symbolize equality for all people. Turbans were also used to distinguish Sikhs in India among the many other religious groups. Not only do turbans have strong religious and cultural importance, but they are also very practical. They protect hair from external pollutants by keeping it covered and clean.
