Dallas, SMU say ‘hello’ to Larry Brown BILLY EMBODY Contributing Writer bembody@smu.edu SMU’s new men’s basketball coach Larry Brown was introduced today with more than 200 people in attendance in front of Moody Coliseum. The Hall of Fame coach comes to SMU as the only coach to win both an NBA Championship and a NCAA title. “I just think being a college coach, you’re really a teacher and that’s something I really love to do,” Brown said about coming back to college coaching. Brown believes in what SMU has to offer with the new renovations, the campus, being in Dallas and the fertile recruiting grounds of Texas. Head football coach June Jones and Brown became texting buddies over the last month, which Brown is still

picking up how to do. Brown wants to get right into recruiting the Texas area, which SMU has neglected in previous years. “Just walking around this campus, if we can get a kid here, I can’t imagine him wanting to go anywhere else,” Brown said about recruiting players to SMU. Brown’s contract is rumored to be a five-year deal at $1.75 million a year, but terms were not officially released. Brown said after the introduction that two, maybe three of his assistants have signed their deals to be Mustangs. He feels SMU is the best combination of academics, a great city and great university that he envisioned coaching when he began his career. “I never realized at 71, that this opportunity would present itself,” Brown said.

Legendary basketball coach, Larry Brown, was welcomed to the hilltop with a grand spectacle that included overhead planes.

Doherty, current Kansas coach Bill Self, ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla and current members of the board of trustees were in attendance. SMU athletic director Steve Orsini said the process was very deliberate, but in the end

SMU got who they wanted. “It took us 71 days to get June Jones. I’ve refined the process down to 37 days and I feel we got the June Jones of basketball,” Orsini said. “We never were rejected. We made one offer and

we got one acceptance.” Brown is eager to get to work and spoke to his players this morning with Doherty in the room about how his coach left his sophomore year in college and how tough it was. Coach Brown

plans to run an up tempo style of game with an in your face manto-man defense. The coaching staff is expected to be announced later this week Orsini said and we will have more on that when it is announced.

99th Student Senate inaugurates officers RAHFIN FARUK News Editor rfaruk@smu.edu After a tough election season, recently elected student body officers and student senators gathered in Hughes-Trigg Commons for the 99th inauguration of SMU Student Senate. Elected representatives, committee chairs and the

comptroller were sworn in. The event celebrated the achievements of this year’s Student Senate. “I thank outgoing student body officers for all their efforts,” SMU President R. Gerald Turner said. The Student Senate passed legislation this year that will improve student-university relations and the campus experience. “We accomplished incredible

feats. We rearranged library hours, will start offering free flu shots to students next year and simplified the syllabi process during registration,” Austin Prentice, the current student body president, said. Student Senate also made greater efforts to reach out to the SMU community with a town hall meeting sponsored by the student

While many students plan to get their first real jobs once they leave college, some have already started down their career path before even leaving high school. One of these ambitious students is 18-year-old Taylor Miller, a first-year student at SMU who began her own jewelry company at the age of nine, called Hazen Jewelry. Already a nationally established business, Hazen Jewelry is sold in boutiques and specialty stores worldwide.

Miller’s line is sold at such stores like For Heaven’s Sake in Snider Plaza. Miller first discovered jewelry making when she was 9 years old, and inspired by her grandmother’s costume jewelry collection, she reconstructed a pearl necklace from scratch. She enrolled in a class right away, and later that year, Hazen Jewelry was launched. Six months later, she won the Mississippi Museum of Art’s young artist of the year award after presenting her jewelry at the Oxford Floral trunk show. “She’s awesome, and one of the most stylish people I know,” Sarah Anne Guenard, a friend of Miller’s said. Miller began by handcrafting each piece of jewelry to be sold

by the company, working from home and designing and creating each collection by herself. As high school approached, she found it difficult to manage her time between school and her business. College to be no different in terms of time management. “It was extremely difficult but definitely worth it,” Miller said. Now that she is in college she plans to relocate her resources to Dallas so she can run her business while attending school. “I think Dallas will be an even greater place to run my business,” she adds.

CORRECTION

An article in the April 9 edition of The Daily Campus, “SMU student panel awards $775,000 behind closed doors,” incorrectly reported two facts. The story, which reported that the Student Senate Finance Comittee holds secret meetings each year where it decides how to allocate hundreds of thousands of dollars, incorrectly stated that these meetings are held at the start of each semester. They’re actually held mid-semester. The story also incorrectly reported that students had to purchase tickets to see Gavin DeGraw in March. The tickets were free. The Daily Campus regrets these errors. However, we stand by the original story.

Feel the fusion of fitness in the design district ANNE PARKER Health Editor annep@smu.edu Do you do the same boring cardio workout day after day? If you are looking for a way to break out of your normal routine or you just want to add a little spice to your workouts, Fusion Fitness might be the perfect solution. Founder of Fusion Fitness Lander Peerman created this unique workout, which combines speed, strength and stretching all in one hour long class. Peerman has always been an active person and interested in health and fitness. After graduating from the University of Texas, she became involved in a women’s fitness program in Austin. “I loved the concept of women’s group fitness and focusing on small group training,” she said. When Peerman moved to Dallas, she did not have any luck finding a similar workout. “I wanted to burn tons of calories with a cardio routine but also stay toned and lean with resistance training and pilates core training,” she said. “Not surprisingly, Fusion Fitness was born shortly after.” Sorry guys, but this class is for girls only. You will do everything from a

fast-paced, interval based cardio routine to strength exercises for toning along with ab moves to tighten your core. Interval training is designed to amp your heart rate up through short bursts of high intensity

movements and then slowing it back down. Fusion Fitness focuses on interval training in both the cardio and weights sequences because it creates a maximum calorie burn throughout class.

that were used throughout. “It is not uncommon for participants to burn anywhere from 500 to 800 calories in one 60 minute class,” Peerman said. “And many more after they leave.”

All of this talk about intervals and strength training may have you feeling exhausted already. However, don’t fret if you are not in tip-top shape. One of the best parts about this class is that anyone can do it. You are able to control your own inclines and speeds on the treadmill so you can decide what works for you depending on your personal fitness level. Additionally, because there is a maximum of ten women per class, “we are able to provide a small group training atmosphere that allows every participant to be focused on individually by the trainer,“ she said. To ensure you see maximum results from the class Peerman suggests a diet rich in lean proteins, complex carbs and a lot of fruits and vegetables. While she recognizes that each person’s diet is specific to their own bodies, “limiting fast food, alcohol, sweets and foods high in saturated never hurt anyone’s waistline.” Do you want see what the fusion is all about? Don’t forget to ask about the student discounts. “All you need to bring for your first class is a sweat towel and a positive, energetic attitude and you will have no problem fitting into the Fusion Fitness family,” Peerman said.

The Mustang offensive line prepares for the snap during play against Tulane Nov. 5, 2011 in Ford Stadium.

New beginnings, new coach for offensive line BILLY EMBODY Staff Writer wembody@smu.edu

The Mustang offensive line has been one of the units on the football team that has been under the most scrutiny this spring after the graduation of all five starting linemen. The line is crucial to the success of the offense not just to protect the quarterback and open running lanes, but because the players up front make all the protection adjustments and calls to get the complicated blocking schemes right. “This offense has evolved. There are different nuances and adjustments, which Coach [June] Jones has made over the years and I like the adjustments that he has made. I think it has made the offense better,” Offensive line coach Bob Palcic said earlier this spring. The scheme that Jones’ run’n’shoot offense runs is one that needs athletic offensive linemen that can move and pull easily for pass protection and

run blocking. This group of offensive linemen have been moved around a lot this spring and it is interesting to see how they have meshed so far with all the changes. Jones talked about how important it was finding someone that is familiar with the schemes of the offense. “He was my line coach in Atlanta so getting him here I know he is a good technique guy and a fundamental coach,” Jones said. “Just getting those kids taught and mentally being on top of their game is what we’ll spend a lot of time on in the spring so that they’re ready come fall to be potential starters.” The shuffling of the offensive line has seen fifth-year senior Blake McJunkin getting time at left guard even after starting a year at center before he was hurt last year. Sophomore Taylor Lasecki has been taking most of the reps at center. Left tackle is currently being manned by sophomore Kris Weeks, who certainly passes the

eye test, but continues to learn more everyday. “I’m just getting better. I am the younger guy so I do rely a lot on the older guys to help me out,” Weeks said. “But physical-wise I am able to handle it and play at that level.” The line relies on all of them being on the same page and that starts with their relationship off the field that helps them communicate on the field. “Our chemistry is in the locker room,” Weeks said. “It’s more than just on the field. When we make moves like this and we’re real good friends inside the locker room and we understand each other and we know what our habits are then making changes like that doesn’t affect us in a negative way at all.” If the offensive line can continue to grow and develop from the relatively young unit that it is, the running attack will have the space to continue to be successful and that will take pressure off the new quarterback for next year.

The search for the men’s basketball head coach has ended. However the search for his staff continues. Marquette University associate head coach Tony Benford was in the running for the head coach job. After it was given to Larry Brown, SMU asked Benford to be a coach-inwaiting on the Mustang staff. After a weekend of interviews at University of North Texas, the mean green hired Benford as its new head coach. His deal is expected to last five years and will be signed at a press conference at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. With Benford out of the picture, it has been widely reported that former University of Illinois assistant Jerrance Howard, former University of Kentucky assistant Rod Strickland and University of Illinois head coach Tim Jankovich are prospects. No contracts have been signed and no reports have been confirmed. Howard was fired from his alma mater Illinois in early April after a new head coach, John Groce, was hired. Groce replaced Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber who was fired in March. Howard was paid a $180,000 at Illinois and would be expected to make much more than that in a deal at SMU. Strickland works in the administration for the Kentucky basketball program. He was a first round NBA draft pick for the New York Knicks in 1988 and continued to play for Miami, Orlando, San Antonio

Associated Press

Illinois head coach Tim Jankovich is one of three options for the men’s basketball assistant coach, including Jerrance Howard and Rod Strickland.

and Houston. Jankovich is currently the head coach at Illinois State. If hired on Brown’s staff, reports have expected him to become the head coach when Brown decides to retire. It is also rumored that he could receive more than double his $400,000 salary from Illinois if he accepted an assistant job at SMU. All three coaches have ties to the two coaches who faced off in the 2012 NCAA championship — former Illinois coach and current Kansas coach Bill Self or John Calipari, who coached

the New Jersey Nets from 1996 to 199 and currently is the head coach at Kentucky. Self and Calipari worked as assistants under Brown at Kansas. Jankovich was an assistant coach at Kansas from 2003 to 2007. The most important thing Brown’s staff could add to the SMU basketball program is help in recruiting Dallas players. Jankovich and Strickland could create some Texas ties that Brown lacks. Neither Brown nor the university have released statements concerning the search for a coaching staff.

Column

Students face finals sans reading days Tashika Varma tvarma@smu.edu It’s that time of year again: the headcount of students in the library skyrockets, students are overwhelmed and professors are speed grading. Finals are right around the corner and students are scrambling to review a semesters worth of material for their final exams. Most students are exhausted and frazzled as this week progresses and not having reading days adds to the problem. Although the legislation to add reading days in waiting for approval from Faculty Senate for the 2012 to 2013 academic year, they should have been added this year. We did not have a reading day last semester either. It’s difficult for any student to go to the last day of class and take a final exam the next day. I do know that one of the reasons that reading days were taken away was how SMU students chose to spend their free time. But let’s face it: we cannot take away the reading days from the students who actually need it. Even without reading days, there will always be those who choose to party on days they don’t have finals. It is wrong to punish those students who use the reading days, for the portion that don’t care to use them for finals. Many of SMU peer universities offer reading days. Rice University and Tulane have two reading days. Vanderbilt University offers one reading day. Baylor University also offers two reading days. I think it’s crazy for students to not have any days off before rushing into final exams. We’re tested on everything the professor has covered. Finals are much bigger than mid-semester exams, and they usually count for a larger percentage of our final grades. The sentiment is that professors sometimes forget that their class is not the only class that student take. Most students take five to six classes a semester, meaning we have to study for usually five finals, with some occurring on the same day. Without any reading days to prepare, does SMU really expect students to be able to perform our best on these finals? I think no. I know that I would be able to prepare for my Wednesday final a lot better if I did not have to attend class on Tuesday and I’m sure that most of the SMU student body agrees. Reading days do not just benefit the students, but they also help the professors. Most professors would like the extra time to prepare for finals and catch up on grading previous assignments. For professors, grades are due soon after they hold their finals. These extra reading days will allow them to get their grades in on time. Faculty Senate has a decision to make and I think that we need at least one reading day before finals begin. Tashika Varma is a junior majoring in communication studies. She is also the assignments desk editor.

TUCKER KEENE tkeene@smu.edu During the lame duck session following the Republican wave that swept through congress in 2010, the Democrats tried to use the last few moments of their huge majority to shove through something called the DREAM Act, which would have granted citizenship to children of illegal immigrants who attend college or join the military. In principle, it isn’t a bad idea. These children were brought over here illegally through no fault of their own, and it is against conservative ideals and American ideals to punish the child for the sins of the parents. Now, these kids are in legal limbo, and something has to be done to rectify this issue. But the Democrat’s DREAM Act doesn’t work as intended. As Senator Marco Rubio pointed out when he unveiled his own version of the Act (which would work much better, although it still isn’t perfect), the Democrat’s DREAM incentivizes more illegal immigration, through allowing the child to use their citizen status to bring relatives in legally, which could be millions more immigrants, which our country would be unable to deal with economically. Rubio’s plan, which he thinks is something that could get the 60 votes necessary to pass the Senate, helps solve this problem. By offering legal status to the children of illegal immigrants, but not full citizenship, it fixes the issue of the chain immigration that the Democrat’s proposal would cause. Democrats will say that this makes these children second-class citizens, but as Rubio points out, being in legal limbo as they are means they are already second-class citizens. The position that Rubio’s DREAM puts them in at least allows them to live here without fear of deportation, functioning as productive members

DEMOCRAT

of society. Neither of these plans address the larger issue of illegal immigration however, and at least Rubio acknowledges that. The DREAM Act would take care of one small part of the issue, but the major problems would still be there. The hardline conservative position isn’t feasible. Mass deportation would be expensive and difficult to implement, how would you find and keep track of those who are by definition undocumented? As was mentioned in one of the GOP debates last fall, building a border fence would just create a larger market for ladders and shovels. The left wing position of blanket amnesty won’t stop the problem either, while ballooning the cost to the federal government. The entire process needs reformation. It should be made easier to enter the country legally so that illegal action is no longer a desirable one. Further, those who are already here illegally should be sent to the back of the line for citizenship, those who went through the process legally shouldn’t be given a lower priority than those who didn’t. Finally, employers who take advantage of illegal immigrants should be punished, so enforcement of E-Verify must be a top priority. Children shouldn’t be punished for the crimes of their parents, and certainly not if they want to serve the country in the military or attend college. Rubio’s plan works much better than the Democratic plan in solving this issue, primarily because it doesn’t create the chain of immigration that will expand the problem instead of beginning to fix it. The major issue of immigration reform is difficult, but this shouldn’t be. We can help these kids, if only political posturing doesn’t get in the way. Tucker is a sophomore majoring in political science, economics and public policy.

MICHAEL WILBURN mwilburn@smu.edu Of all the legislation that has failed to pass in the do nothing Congress of this day and age, the Dream Act is probably the most famous. The Dream Act deals with immigration. It offers a path to citizenship for youth who were brought to the United States as long as they served in the military or attended college. Marc Rubio, a senator from Florida, recently offered a counter-proposal. His proposal would allow for undocumented youth to remain in the United States, but would not grant them citizenship. Rubio’s proposal is flawed because it would create a population segment consisting of second-class citizens. What good does this achieve in the long run? While the quasi citizen-like status would alleviate the fear of deportation, it would still subjugate undocumented youth. It does not do any good to allow people residing in the United States to stay if they are not granted equal rights. While this counter-proposal softens the Republican edge for Latinos, it is not a desirable middle ground. Republicans have seemed to forget that the United States once encouraged immigration. Sure there were regulations, but the regulations were not designed as a burden. America was also not simply trying to get the best quality immigrants either. Remember the Emma Lazarus quote on the Statue of Liberty that says, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” That powerful message is one that

proclaims the United States as a place of refuge. Times have changed, and the immigration hotspot has moved from Ellis Island to the Rio Grande. What has not changed to keep up with the times is United States immigration policy. The Dream Act offers a solution to the problem of undocumented youth. The Dream Act is a good first step forward for immigration policy. The Rubio proposal would continue to breed discrimination, while the Dream Act offers equality. Even if you consider the Rubio proposal a good policy, it will not help the Republican Party attract Latino voters. The damage has been done, and any proposal short of the Dream Act will not suffice. This presidential campaign has included many outlandish comments. Mitt Romney has alienated Latinos with his comments. He said he would veto the original Dream Act, which is popular among Latinos. Romney also praised Arizona, perhaps the toughest state on immigration. I believe the Dream Act is a great bill. It creates an expedited path to citizenship for those who could not control their own immigration status and are working toward their future. Some say amnesty would reward lawfulness, but in this case it is rewarding work ethic and deals with a legal quagmire. If the Dream Act were enacted, it would also help with addressing future immigration policy. The Rubio proposal is just a hopeless grab for votes, while the Dream Act would actually help make the American dream come true.

Senate secretary reflects

Martha Pool mpool@smu.edu

It’s that time of year again. Final exams are right around the corner, projects and papers are due, and the entire campus seems to kick into study-mode overdrive. It is also time for the inauguration of the student body’s elected representatives for the coming year. During my tenure as Student Body Secretary this past year, many students asked me various questions about Student Senate. Since this week marks the beginning of the 2012-2013 term of office, I thought now would be a great time to provide a brief overview of Senate and the duties of our newly elected representatives so that we, the SMU student body, can make the most of our student representation on campus. The SMU Student Senate is extremely influential in the University’s current organizational processes.According to the Student Body Constitution, “Student Senate shall represent the interests of students to the entire University as the official student legislative body.” Senate is intended to serve the entire graduate and undergraduate student body by “acting as a communicative body among the students, administration and faculty” and by “protecting the rights of students and ensuring a student voice in the decision-making process of the University.” Its many powers and responsibilities include initiating action on student concerns, allocating Student Activity Fee funds, reviewing the University’s annual budget, overseeing and reviewing the Student Code of Conduct and sanctioning and reviewing all student organizations. Senate has a tremendous amount of power and

authority, and with it must come an equal amount of responsibility and accountability. Over the past 99 years, Student Senate has been extremely influential in shaping our campus. During the 1930s, Senate challenged the Board of Trustees and succeeded in changing the rules that banned dancing on campus. Other reforms followed regarding dorm visitation, curfews and elimination of the dress code. More recently, Senate has been influential in creating the Student Endowment Fund for scholarships, initiating Fall Break, instigating Reading Days and encouraging the renovation of the Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports. Senate has also been instrumental in ensuring that a seat was created for a student representative to the Board of Trustees. And these are only a few of Senate’s many initiatives throughout the history of SMU. The list of accomplishments is truly remarkable. As a brief outline of each Senate member’s responsibilities, the Student Body President is primarily “the official representative of the Student Body as its liaison to the administration.” This means directing Senate to address student concerns and presenting the chamber’s decisions to the administration on behalf of the student body, as well as relaying relevant information from the Administration to students. He or she has many additional important duties, including serving as a student representative to the Board of Trustees, “[assisting] in the initiation of programs and legislation,” and overseeing the allocation of the presidential discretionary senate fund. The vice-president’s Senate duties are largely internal. This officer serves as the coordinator of activities of the Student

Senate and “[assists] all officers in overseeing the execution of all pieces of legislation passed by the Student Senate and all Student Senate business.” The vice president also prepares and presents a semester Senate budget. He or she also holds one-on-ones with senators and oversees their training; the vice president is also in charge of coordinating the liaison program between Senator representatives and their respective student organizations. This officer essentially serves as the president of the Senate chamber and ensures that Senate functions optimally. The Secretary is responsible for “maintaining all records,” planning the Senate calendar, chairing the Student Code of Conduct Revision Committee and working with the Senate webmaster to update the public records, among other things. Senators’ duties include attendance at all weekly general meetings, serving on at least one of the eight standing committees (Student Concerns, Finance, Organizations, Communications, Diversity, Scholarship, Endowment and Membership), staying informed and voting on relevant issues brought before the Senate chamber, holding weekly office hours and semesterly meet-and-greets, participating in the Senate liaison program by serving as representatives of their assigned student organizations to the senate chamber and fulfilling all the other duties enumerated in the oath of office. While this provides a brief overview of Student Senate, a complete list of its various policies and procedures as well as the responsibilities of Senate members can be found in the governing documents archived online at www.smu.edu/studentsenate. The Senate website also contains many helpful resources, including standards for requesting funding

from the Finance committee, contact information for Senators and an email dropbox for student complaints and comments. The governing documents further enumerate the procedures necessary for constituents to hold their elected representatives accountable and to remove them from office if they fail to do their duties. Senate was established as a forum to preserve the students’ input on decisions affecting this entire university, but it will only be as effective as its members allow it to be. I encourage students to seek to change the things they dislike about SMU. Instead of complaining about the perceived lack of proper representation, do your part to hold your elected representatives accountable this year. Know your school’s senators. Read the weekly minutes. Stay informed about current issues in Senate and the Administration. Let your officers and representatives know your opinion. Come to senate meetings (which are open to all SMU students according to the Senate By-Laws); voice your opinion during the weekly Speakers’ Podium. Our representatives have just pledged to “serve and represent [their] constituents, to communicate all relevant issues to them, to uphold the Constitution and By-Laws of the Students’ Association and the University and to constantly strive to better the academic community of Southern Methodist University.” It is now time for the 99th Student Senate to back up words with actions. And it is the student body’s job to ensure that they will. Martha is a sophomore majoring in accounting. She is a Cox senator.

Marjorie’s money ( not a dime on himself) Marjorie’s death eventually surfaced. Carthage cannot fathom Bernie killing a fly and sides with him, rather than the vicious widow. Unfortunately, Bernie accepts the blame and serves a life sentence in prison, teaching crafts and cooking to inmates. Black’s humorous performance in many movies has been far from satisfactory, however the job he does with Bernie is superb. McConaughey, a native of East Texas, had an advantage on the southern accent but also provided a commendable performance. McConaughey’s mother, Kay McConaughey, landed a speaking role in the movie as well. The East Texan actors were the ones who truly summoned

Richard Linklater, director of “Bernie,” and other classic films such as “School of Rock and “Dazed and Confused,” contacted Hollandsworth immediately knowing this content would provide for a great film. Co-writing “Bernie,” Hollandsworth and Linklater have created genuine comedic insight into the small-town life of East Texas. “Bernie” is a gem of a film as it relays one of Texas’ most interesting stories and entertains the audience while doing it. “Bernie” opens in theaters on April 29 across the nation.

Lyle prepares students for real world LILLY FOSTER Contributing Writer lfoster@smu.edu Every generation is expected to live up to various expectations. The world views the generation of college students as young, innovative and daring. People are looking forward to a better tomorrow and they are counting on students to lead the way. Elizabeth L. Dougherty, Chris Sadler and Mitch Hart spoke to a group of engineer students about what current professionals want the current generation to grow to be like. Dougherty, acting deputy director in the Office of Patent Legal Administration at the United States Patent and Trade Office, believe students are the generation of freethinkers. “We certainly see students as the next generation of innovators. You are the future, you will help to take the economy to the next level and make it successful,” Dougherty said as she recently spoke student of the Lyle School of Engineering. The world is counting on college students to go where no human has

gone before, ask questions that have never been answered and find solutions to some of the worlds’ biggest problems. Rear Admiral Chris Sadler of the United States Navy Admiral believes we are the generation of the technologically savvy. “Today’s world is very technologically advanced. One of the edges we need to maintain over potential adversaries is our technical edge,” Sadler said. Growing up in a world filled with technology, college students

are consumed by the various and ever-changing technological ways of the world. They are known to be skilled in technology and people expect them to become more skilled with time. The world wants their technological skills, but most importantly, it needs their technological skills. By providing the Navy with machinery that works, engineers have found their way to give back and show their appreciation. Now it is time to continue that dedication to the nation’s armed

forces by providing them with the technology they need to stay ahead of the game. Hart, from SMU’s Hart Center for Engineering Leadership (HCEL), believes we are the generation of new leadership. “We need to develop leaders, not just engineers. We need to not just develop great things, but lead great things,” Hart said. With the help of HCEL, SMU is doing just that. If it’s leaders they want, then it is leaders they will get. When the time comes for students to step up to the plate, they will possess the qualities needed to be great leaders. SMU is helping to shape every student, not just engineers, into exactly what the world expects them to be. They are educating students in technology, challenging them to think freely and think broadly and encouraging them to lead when and wherever we’re needed. The Lyle School of Engineering pointed students down the path that leaders like Elizabeth L. Dougherty, Admiral Chris Sadler and Mitch Hart have helped to lay out and hope they follow that path to the end.

concerns committee. Prentice predicted that Student Senate would continue to build on its efforts to improve campus. “Alex Mace, you will be far better than I was. This is the process of development and growth in action,” Prentice said. Mace took an oath to uphold Senate’s bylaws and continue dialogue with students. “I could have never come this far without people who supported

me,” Mace said. “I look forward to next year.” Mace moved on to discuss his platform, which will focus on community and campus life. He wants to reach out to local businesses to build a community spirit around SMU sports. He also highlighted the Spring 2013 opening of the Bush Presidential Library and SMU’s transition to the Big East. “We must be fully united under the banner of red and blue. This place is a home

where your very future is set in motion,” Mace said, as his parents watched from a crowded Hughes-Trigg Commons. Other parents were also in the audience to watch their child be inaugurated. “We are very proud of our daughter. She is getting real practice being involved in SMU Senate for an eventual political career,” Gerald Ladner, the father of secretary-elect Katherine Ladner, said. Student Senate, much like

other representative bodies, plays a large role at SMU and has influence in organization financing, undergraduate and graduate relations and faculty outreach. “To the new Senate, it is now your turn to lead. This is your opportunity to not just talk about it but be about it,” Jones, the faculty advisor for Student Senate, said. “Your peers said that they believe in you, and they will be watching.”

Tyler Vaughan was named the 2012 Mr. SMU Body Builder winner during Tuesday evening’s 14th annual competition in the Hughes-Trigg Theater.

Bad tans, big muscles take over Hughes-Trigg Theater SARAH KRAMER Editor in Chief skramer@smu.edu Tyler Vaughan and Jessica Bartol were named the winners of the 14th annual Mr. and Ms. SMU Body Building Competition Tuesday evening. Flexing their muscles, the 11 competitors posed in a variety of positions for the three judges. Taking home the gold, which complemented his tan, Vaughan said going into the competition he had no idea he would come out the winner. “In all my years at SMU, this was the most level playing field,” he said. “It was nice to win after so many months of training and dieting.”

A member of Pi Kappa Alpha, Vaughan is a senior from Birmingham, Ala. majoring in mechanical engineering. Bartol, the 2012 female champion and member of the SMU soccer team, is a sports management and applied physiology major from Durango, Colo. Coming in second was Andrew Johnson who also was awarded best poser. Landon Banister took home the bronze. Placing second in 2010 and again this year was Nina Sosa Rivera. However, this year she was awarded best female poser. Coming in third was Ally Totah. For a gallery of photos, visit smudailycampus.com.
