SMU among 55 universities questioned on sexual assault policy Katelyn GOugh Editor-in-Chief kgough@smu.edu

Southern Methodist University is one of 55 American colleges and universities under federal investigation regarding its handling of sexual abuse reports under Title IX policies. The Department of Education unveiled its list of open investigations just two days after the White House task force announced its efforts and recommendations to combat sexual assaults on college campuses.

The unprecedented move of transparency revealed investigative information previously kept private or available only by request.

SMU released an official statement Thursday afternoon.

“SMU applauds the U.S. Department of Education’s efforts to eradicate sexual violence on college campuses and to provide universities with additional tools to combat sexual assault,” the statement said.

“Our goals are the same.

“The matters under review by the Education Department have been investigated by SMU and predate our university task force review of sexual misconduct policies and procedures. The university has been

The Department of Education recently unveiled its list of colleges and universities investigated for Title IX violations.

aggressive in putting into proactive wide-ranging new procedures to inform and protect our students, to provide prompt and effective resolution of complaints, and to hold violators accountable while treating all students fairly.”

Student Body President Ramon Trespalacios thinks, “It’s commendable to see the Department of Education working on efforts that affect students on college campuses right now.”

“It is good that leadership in

education has the same goals as students who have taken ownership of the issues and are working to better the issue,” Trespalacios said.

“I think SMU can be a benchmark to other universities. We will be able to show the nation how we care about students and how things can be done right.”

SMU’s own sexual assault task force was created in September 2012 and made its 41 recommendations to President R. Gerald Turner in May of the following year. All 41

recommendations were accepted.

According to SMU’s Health and Safety Information website, “the examination took into account adherence to state and federal laws, especially Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972.”

SMU Vice President for Student Affairs Lori White was charged with overseeing the implementation of the task force recommendations.

TITLE IX page 3

First-year applications to Texas universities, including SMU, have steadily increased over the past five years. Driven by economic growth and the rising cost of education, private and public universities across the state are receiving more attention from high school students than ever before.

Wes Waggoner, dean of undergraduate admission and executive director of enrollment services at SMU, said that the recent economic growth in Texas contributed to SMU’s rising application numbers.

“SMU has also taken advantage of the fact that Texas is the place to be – especially for its economy and job market. I can’t speak for why other universities have seen growth in their applicant pools, but I’m sure that the appeal of Texas is part of it,” Waggoner said.

As for the cost factor, Catherine Marrs, founder of Dallas-based Marrs College Admissions Advisors, said that many of the students she advises are looking to stay in Texas for their college educations.

“I try to require my students to apply to at least one Texas public school when they sign on to work with me. It is a safety school

Politics

Tea party evolves from grassroots group to political giant Katelyn Hall Contributing Writer jbuchsbaum@smu.edu Matt Rinaldi held his breath as the votes trickled in March 4. The lawyer and Tea Party organizer was running for a Texas House of Representatives seat in District 115 against incumbent Republican Bennett Ratliff.

Ratliff outspent Rinaldi 12 to 1, and Rinaldi ran and lost against Ratliff two years ago. But Rianldi thought he just might pull off a victory.

“I was banking on the trend I saw that Tea Party candidates were winning elections for far less money because people were finally paying attention

and wanted people to act in Austin like they campaigned,” Rinaldi said.

He skipped the big campaign dinners and events and instead went door-to-door speaking to voters.

“A television ad or a radio ad is no substitution to me coming to your door and talking to you for 15 minutes,” he said.

Rinaldi ended up winning the primary by only 92 votes out of 8,230, or by less than 1 percent of votes.

The race for Texas House Rep in North Texas’ District 115, which is composed of parts of Coppell, Irving, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Addison and Dallas, is just one of many in Texas where

a Tea Party candidate opposed an incumbent Republican in the primaries.

The North Texas Tea Party endorsed 10 candidates for Texas House and Senate elections this year. Out of those, four won the Republican primary in March, three face runoffs and three lost — not bad odds for a movement that was originally seen as merely reactionary.

“It’s maturing from ideas into actions,” Rinaldi said. “When the protests stopped, everyone said the Tea Party was dead. But we were busy doing other things like winning elections.”

The Tea Party started in 2004,

Student starts recycling initiative Jamie Buchsbaum Contributing Writer jbuchsbaum@smu.edu As a California native, SMU junior Max Schauermann has always been accustomed to the major recycling initiative there.

During the summer following his sophomore year, Schauermann took all of his family’s cans to a local recycling center one afternoon and noticed a group of fraternity guys taking time out of their Saturday to recycle.

“My first thought was, why doesn’t SMU have a recycling initiative for the Greek community?” said Schauermann.

After serving on a mission trip to Haiti over the previous spring break, Schauermann saw the impact he could make on a community in need. He realized what a meaningful effect it had on him personally and was immediately motivated to look for ways he could give back to his local community upon his return to Dallas.

“It inspired me to make an impact on my community,”

Schauermann said. “I just didn’t know how yet.”

He began thinking of ways to connect recycling with helping his local community, and soon realized that a severe recycling deficit existed within Greek Life. Thinking about all of the recyclable waste he could obtain from each fraternity and sorority house, Schauermann eventually came up with the idea of Cans For Kids.

Officially beginning in the fall of 2014, Cans For Kids will be a selfsustaining recycling effort within the Greek community of SMU with all proceeds being donated to the Pediatric Department at UT Southwestern in Dallas.

Schauermann plans to place specially designed recycling receptacles in the fraternity houses as well as at each Boulevard tent during football season, take the collected aluminum cans to a facility that refunds the recycled waste for cash and then donate the money to UT Southwestern Pediatric Department.

The long-term vision of the project is to expand to every Greek

house as well as residence halls and continue to raise awareness around campus. Once Schauermann graduates, the SMU Sustainability Committee will take over the project and continue to carry out his efforts.

“In terms of academics, a great college experience, life-long friends… SMU has given me so much already,” said Schauermann.

“I just feel like this is an opportunity for me to give back to the community and Dallas as a whole.”

Schauermann, a pre-med student, is currently majoring in real estate finance and plans to attend medical school to become a surgeon.

With UT Southwestern at the top of his list of potential medical schools, Schauermann hopes to benefit its medical community while also gaining valuable business skills and a personal level of fulfillment.

“Since I can’t help kids medically yet, this is the most tangible thing I can do right now [to help their lives],” said Schauermann. “I just want to make an impact on them.”

From victim to survivor

Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center helps victims Lauren Aguirre Online Editor lcaguirre@smu.edu When Sheila Mitchell was 16 years old, she got into a car with three acquaintances. The driver claimed to be taking her to her boyfriend, but instead took her into the basement of an unfamiliar house. Four men gang raped her there.

About a month later, Mitchell was raped again by her best friend’s boyfriend.

For most of her life, Mitchell put the trauma in a box and tucked it away. But in her 50s, she started experiencing triggers, which appeared as a nervous breakdown.

These triggers affected her life in church and at home. In 2011, she found help at the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center (DARCC). With counseling, Mitchell worked through her trauma.

“There’s no expiration

date for rape. Rape stays with you for a lifetime,” Mitchell said one day recently before a counseling session at the center.

“I’m forever grateful to DARCC because DARCC gave me my life back.”

Sexual assault was brought to the national stage this month when the White House released guidelines that put pressure on universities to combat rape on campus, according to a New York Times article.

In 1987, the mayor of Dallas established a task force to prevent domestic violence.

During SMU’s fall 2013 semester, there were five sexual assaults reported on and around campus.

Only one has been reported this semester.

The Dallas Police Department has reported 154 sexual assaults in the city this year.

From 2005 to 2010, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics,

FRIDAY n MAY 2, 2014 FASHION WEEK

Tips from the blogosphere of Luella & June brooke moore Contributing Writer bmoore@smu.edu The woman behind the popular blog Luella & June gave a room full of SMU students an important tip on how to succeed in the crowded field of blogging Wednesday evening: write with your own voice.

Bradley Agather Means, who also serves as fashion editor for FD Luxe, kicked off the first night of the third annual SMU Fashion Week.

She and her roommate started Luella & June while seniors at the University of Texas at Austin.

Her roommate soon decided it wasn’t her thing, but Agather Means kept at it, even though her list of readers was short— her mom, sister, dad, and just a few close friends.

Finding Her Voice Agather Means remembered a phone call she received from her dad back at the start.

“He was like, ‘You emailed me at 3:15 last night saying that you were working on your blog,’” she said, laughing. “‘So let me get it straight: You stay up until 3:15 working on something you don’t get paid for and you don’t have anyone reading it?’”

Today, five years later, Luella & June is consistently ranked among the top blogs in the country.

Agather Means attributes her success to staying true to her own aesthetic and old-fashioned hard work. One of the biggest mistakes people make, she said, is to blog about something they either have no interest in or know nothing about.

“Write what you know,” she said. “Figure out exactly who you are as a blogger.”

Internships also helped her get ahead, she said, even though she worked long hours and was often assigned tedious tasks. She said that when interviewing for a job, good grades and being on the honor roll help, but internships matter the

most.

“I cannot express the importance of internships,” Agather Means said.

She knew she wanted a career in fashion after a summer spent interning at Teen Vogue in New York. She was often in the office for 12 hours a day, but she loved the job. She said it was an amazing opportunity to work with fashion icons like French photographer Patrick Demarchelier and actress Rachel Bilson.

Networking was also important, she said. In order to build an audience for Luella & June, Agather Means would read multiple blogs a day and comment on other bloggers’ work. She also built relationships with brands and advertisers. While developing her own voice and aesthetic, her blog was beginning to grow.

Readers were not the only ones who noticed Agather Means’ work. One day out of the blue, she said, she received a call from the editor of FD Luxe, the fashion magazine published by The Dallas Morning News. Editor-in-chief Rob Brinkley read her blog and loved her fashion taste and writing style, so he knew exactly what he was getting when she arrived for the interview.

Agather Means never wants her readers to think she’s “fooling” them by using a voice that isn’t her own—which, she said, is the easiest way for bloggers to lose readership.

“They have to trust that I’m not just doing it for the money,” she said. She only works with brands and advertisers that are 100 percent her style.

Though she didn’t have to alter her aesthetic for FD Luxe, working for the magazine taught her so much about writing, the research it takes to do good writing and reporting.

“I was not a reporter, but I am now,” Agather Means said. “Every job is a constant learning process.”

Tips For A Novice Agather Means also gave SMU

bloggers tips on how to handle negative feedback. “[Luella & June] is so personal because it’s just me writing it,” she said. “I have to know that not everyone is going to like it, and not everyone is going to agree.”

She advised novice bloggers to take negative feedback with a grain of salt and remember that it’s not personal. “I get it—I know it’s hard,” she said.

She’s grateful for all the negative feedback because she’s developed a thick skin from it. She also finds that negative comments can be helpful.

“Be willing to accept [negative feedback] and grow from it,” she said. “You have to remember that people are reading your blog and they care enough to comment on it—that’s the silver lining.”

Another suggestion Agather Means has for rookies is to make a business plan. If they have any aspirations to turn blogging into a career, they have to take it seriously.

“Treat it as a business,” she said.

“Be professional about it.”

SMU fashion media students were asked for their opinions on Agather Means’ tips on how to succeed as a blogger.

“I read Luella & June almost daily, so it was great hearing how she got her start,” senior Jenna Veldhuis said. “She had no readers at the beginning, but she remained dedicated to her passion. She reminds you to do what you love, or you’ll never be truly successful.”

In two months, senior Elle Finney will move to New York, hoping to land a job in the fashion industry.

“I really think [Agather Means’] advice will help me so much,” Finney said. “I believe that staying true to my aesthetic and personal style will be most important to my success in N.Y.C.” So, for anyone interested in entering the blogosphere, take Agather Means’ advice.

Or don’t. But whatever you do, make it you. Make it your own voice.

SMU Tate Lecture Series 32nd Season

RAYMOND PAZ BEATTY / The Daily Campus

Ashley Mears, sociologist and former model, gave the keynote Thursday night for the third annual SMU Fashion Week.

Ashley Mears delivers SMUFW keynote amelia ambrose Contributing Writer aambrose@smu.edu Even for professionals, deciding on what kind of look will make a model successful is difficult and imprecise, Boston University sociologist Ashley Mears told a crowd Thursday night at Umphrey Lee. Mears, the author of “Pricing Beauty: The Making of a Fashion Model,” spoke as part of SMU Fashion Week.

She described it as “taste” when producers talk about when the look is just right. When they see it, they know it.

“A look is something a model has. It is part personality, part physicality,” Mears said.

“The more people understand something the less value that

something has.”

The two main markets for models today are editorial and commercial. With each of these markets comes a different level of prestige and money. Magazines, such as Vogue, do not pay as well as commercial markets.

Models work for these companies for the prestige and status instead of big paychecks.

When a model works for a prestigious editorial platform that can build buzz. This helps signal that clients are interested in a model.

Mears told the crowd that even though modeling is known as a very glamorous industry, few are able to reach the heights of success.

“It’s a winner take all industry,” Mears said.

In fact, the median salary for models in the United States is around $34,000.

Not only do many fail to earn money, some models find themselves chronically in debt to their agencies, which pay for visas, apartments, plane tickets and bike messenger services.

“There are no retirement or benefits for models which is why sociologists call it a bad job,” Mears said.

The people who are most likely to succeed in modeling will be women. Females earn significantly more than their male counterparts in the industry.

“Modeling is a paradox and one of the few fields where women make more money than men,” Mears said.

“Females make 50 to 70 percent more then male models.”

Mears addressed a group of more than 100 students, faculty members and people from the fashion industry.

The girls from behind the curtain revealed halle levitt Contributing Writer hlevitt@smu.edu Today SMU’s Retail Club will put on a fashion show in front of Dallas Hall using clothes generously donated from LUBLU by Kira Plastinina and ASOS, an online-only retailer who cater to “fashion forward twenty-somethings.”

While many students are looking forward to the event, not much is known about the team behind it.

The Retail Club began in 2001 as a way to help those who are interested in becoming a part of and succeeding in the fashion industry.

Today it is an organization run by students that strive to connect current SMU students with industry professionals and

provide a behind-the-scenes look at a trade so many are eager to join. The executive board of the club works hard to make sure every event runs smoothly and is both fun and informative for club members.

From organizing speakers to getting donations from local boutiques, the board works to make sure that the members of the club both enjoy and learn from each event. Though it is often stressful work, the board members see it as an opportunity to prepare for what they hope to do after they leave SMU. “I love Retail Club because it’s nice to be able to get together with students who have similar interests and learn more about a field I hope to one day join,” Retail Club member, sophomore Sissy Dreyer said.

At each event a membership card, designed to look like a credit

card, is given out with perks for the members. Some of the past cards have included discounts at The Impeccable Pig, La Bichette and a free class at The Pilates Barre.

The Retail Club Executive board, led by President Mackenna Scripps, prides itself on its ability to work with big fashion companies.

Vice President Ashley Gross is an ASOS brand ambassador for SMU and Board Member Jessica Gretter spends her time out of the classroom working at Carolina Herrera at Highland Park and will intern in their corporate office in New York this summer.

“Planning a show is a lot of work. There are so many small things that go into it, but in the end I feel accomplished and know I couldn’t do this without the Fashion Media program as my backbone,” Gross said.

The announced federal investigations could have been confirmed with the Education Department prior to Thursday’s announcement and several experts said most schools were likely aware of the investigation. However, it’s unlikely most students and campus members were aware of the investigations.

“We hope this increased transparency will spur community dialogue about this important

One of the first and most important tasks Schauermann faced was how his project would be funded. He decided to propose his project to Engaged Learning; once it was accepted, Cans For Kids was granted the maximum amount of $2,000 to fund its necessary business operations. The money will go toward the project’s marketing, storage and transportation, purchase of the waste receptacles and other unforeseen costs.

financially,” Marrs said.

Alicia Estes, chair of college counseling at Ursuline Academy of Dallas, also noticed the cost of post-secondary education affected her students’ application choices.

“As families become more aware of the cost of college, they will often have one or more Texas public colleges on a student’s list so they have an option with a more reasonable cost of attendance,” Estes said.

Universities across the state, including SMU, noticed the growing Texas economy and cost of education, and responded by directing more attention to Texas

according to the organization’s website. But the movement gained traction in 2009, when the most recent recession hit the majority of the country.

On Feb. 25, 2009, 35 Tea Party groups organized simultaneously rallies for national sovereignty and fiscal responsibility, and the movement emerged in force in Dallas, according to the Dallas Tea Party.

The Tea Party has 15 core beliefs, based on a statement

by Steve Eichler, CEO of the Tea Party on the organization’s website. Among these are the notions that “pro-domestic employment is indispensable,” “special interests must be eliminated,” “government must be downsized,” and “deficit spending must end.”

“The Tea Party is not about social issues, it’s about national sovereignty, fiscal responsibility, and rule of law,” said Russ Ramsland, the head of the Parks Cities/Preston Hollow Tea Party.

Some Republicans, however, do not embrace the methods of the Tea Party.

SMU senior and Republican voter Zane Cavender sees the Tea Party movement to be ineffective in actualizing their ideas because its leaders are not willing to compromise across party lines.

“The biggest fault of the Tea Party is that they’d rather see their own party go down than see bipartisanship work,” Cavender said. “I’m not saying I disagree with a lot of what the Tea Party is saying, but the way they are going about it is heinous.”

Rinaldi, however, sees the Tea Party as simply holding Republican candidates accountable to the party platform. They may not work across the aisle, but they’ll do what they campaigned on.

“Everybody campaigns on the same principles of limited government and

issue,” said Catherine E. Lhamon, the U.S. Department of Education’s assistant secretary for civil rights.

Lhamon explained in a statement that a school’s presence on the list only means the investigation is on-going, and does not mean the school has broken the law.

The task force by the White House — comprised of members of the Cabinet — revealed Tuesday the creation of the website notalone. gov. The site offers resources for sexual abuse victims and an archive of information on past enforcement actions, as well as resources for students who believe themselves

to be victims of other sex-based discrimination on their campuses.

The task force also announced an array of recommendations to schools to combat poor treatment of campus rape victims and the secret nature that is often typical of sexual assaults.

Some officials warn that these open investigations could push schools to focus more on handling media attention than to addressing the inciting problem. There is also the risk of compromising victim privacy with the move to greater transparency.

POLITICO reported Lisa

Maatz, the American Association of University Women’s top policy adviser, as saying the balance between transparency and confidentiality was delicate.

“There’s always that tension, and we just need both schools and the Department of Education…to be consistent…and to be upfront with students head of time so students know what filing means,” Maatz said.

Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs or activities, but is best recognized for its work in sexual violence and athletics.

Jomita Fleming.

“What’s different about this project is that we are targeting a group [Greek affiliated students] that has not been focused on in the past,” Fleming said. “It’s been a pleasure working with [Schauermann] so far. I know that he’s sincere in his desire to do something that benefits the SMU and Dallas communities.”

According to Ann Allen, director of landscape management at SMU, roughly 5,200 pounds of single-stream (unsorted) recyclable material is collected after a Boulevard. Schauermann hopes to recycle at least 1,000 pounds ($590) worth of aluminum cans within the 2014-15 academic year.

“It may just be a drop in the bucket for [UTSW Pediatric Department],” Schauermann said.

“But it’s going toward a good cause.”

With education in finance, accounting, business ethics, advertising and marketing, Schauermann feels he is prepared to take on this responsibility and pursue his project’s goals. He hopes to be able to apply what he’s learned in his classes to benefit the community and make an impact on the school that has helped shape the person he’s become.

“His humility is not only honorable but contagious,” Fleming said. “He takes feedback with grace, with an authentic desire to be clear

about how [his project] connects to his own values and interests.”

Even with his busy school agenda, Schauermann manages to find time to be involved in other areas of campus as well. He is currently in his second-year of being a Resident Assistant (RA), served two years as a Mustang Corral leader, and is a member of the pre-med honor society Alpha Epsilon Delta.

“I think the main skill I have is my capacity to care for others, which inspires me to make an impact,” said Schauermann.

“My involvement in a number of community service projects has given me a serving heart, and I am dedicated to the cause.”

high school students. Estes said that they received more attention from colleges recently because the colleges appointed regional admissions representatives to live and work in Texas.

Specifically at SMU, the admissions department actively tried to entice more high-achieving high school students to apply.

“The [application] growth coincides with some initiatives in the admission office and across campus to make more of the nation’s best students aware of the opportunities at SMU. We reached out to more students and have encouraged them to consider attending SMU,” Waggoner said.

While many colleges in Texas also experienced similar application growth, they responded in different

ways. For instance, public colleges competed on aspects that private colleges could not.

“I think Texas State University has improved their marketing efforts which has paid off in an increase in applicants. I also think the 7 percent rule that the University of Texas at Austin has to follow has led to more students applying to other Texas schools,” Marrs said.

The 7 percent rule at UT to which Marrs referred states that UT is required to accept all Texas applicants that were in the top 7 percent of their graduating classes, regardless of other factors.

In comparison to the public universities, the private universities were more expensive over the past five years, and had to find ways to compete on cost in a

cost-driven market.

“The amount of merit aid offers made by a private institution has a lot to do with its enrollment. For instance Baylor,” Marrs said.

As opposed to competing on cost, SMU took a different approach than the other private colleges in Texas, and focused on inviting more students to visit, letting the campus sell itself.

“If we can get a student to visit SMU, there is about a 75 percent chance that student will apply,” Waggoner said. He attributed that fact to the SMU culture and campus feel.

“There is so much energy and momentum among the faculty and students at SMU right now. Visitors feel that and want to be a part of it,” Waggoner said.

fiscal responsibility. The Tea Party’s message is simple: You campaigned on it, now do it,” Rinaldi said.

It was that idea of trying to hold the Republican Party to its platform that inspired Ramsland to get involved in the movement five years ago. He wanted to bring the nation back to the core beliefs of the Reagan administration.

“The Reagan Revolution is very similar to what is happening today, except this is more intense and much more serious,” he said.

Ramsland attended that rally in the spring of 2009 and then decided to take on a greater role.

He organized the first Park Cities/Preston Hollow Tea Party meeting in a mattress store on Oak Lawn in 2009. Only four people showed up.

But today, on average, 150 attend monthly meetings, which are now in Fellowship Bible Church in Dallas.

The group educates members on the Tea Party’s view of the Constitution and its core beliefs. It even gives lectures on historical topics, including the Phoenician and Roman government, the history of trade starting with the cave men and what the group believes to be the Judeo-Christian origin of America.

“When people understand exactly what that means, they can articulate why we need to change,” Ramsland said. “I’m not about platitudes.”

The group works on the broad, educational level and also on the local level — trying to get area Tea Party candidates like Rinaldi elected.

Like Ramsland and his Tea Party group, Rinaldi has seen growth in Tea Party followings in Texas in this election cycle.

Rinaldi isn’t the only Tea Party candidate to have challenged an incumbent Republican for a state office this primary and win.

One of the other most notable victories was of Tea Party-endorsed Don Huffines for State Senator against John Carona, who has served six

terms in the Texas Senate.

To Rinaldi, the Tea Party owes its recent victories to the voting population under 45.

His campaign’s polls show that they lost older voters two to one to his Republican opponent, but won younger voters 7 to 1.

“I relied very heavily on younger voters,” he said. “They know something’s wrong, and they know the status quo isn’t going to solve it.”

But not all young, Republican voters agree. Cavender sees the Tea Party movement as detrimental to the Republican Party and needed bipartisanship in Texas.

“Politics is a practical science, and the Tea Party is not practical,” he said. “The current track of the Tea Party is the antithesis of progress in this country.”

Cavender sees compromising and working across party lines as fundamental to the American political system, an idea not fostered by the Tea Party.

A lot of people see the Tea Party as a far right version of the Republican Party, but leaders like Rinaldi and Ramsland are quick to distinguish themselves.

Cavender isn’t the only Republican to not embrace the Tea Party, but on the other hand, a lot of non-Republicans are joining the Tea Party movement.

“They’re Democrats, they’re independents and they’re Republicans,” Ramsland said.

Rinaldi agrees and sees Texas of having three political parties.

“A lot of people see the split in politics as Republicans versus Democrats, and it’s not a two party system,” Rinaldi said.

“It’s really a three party system: Conservatives, Democrats and a group of moderate Republicans who side with Democrats on most issues.”

With the general midterm elections coming up this November, the split among these three groups could become more evident. Rinaldi hopes Tea Party candidates will win and reshape Texas politics.

“We need to be the example for the rest of the country as to why these ideas work,” he said.

sexual assault services in Dallas County.

“We are survivor centered and trauma informed,” DARCC Outreach Director Monica Urbaniak said. “We look at the client’s experiences from a trauma lens and see how that impacts the way the client is in the world.”

SMU student Angela Uno volunteers with DARCC every Wednesday from midnight to 9 a.m. She works on DARCC’s hospital accompaniment service.

“It really makes me realize how important it is to have advocates and to have people who understand sexual assault and how to go through the logistics of a forensics exam while being able to take care of the person who needs emotional support,” Uno said.

Out of the 88 rape crisis centers in Texas, only 18 are currently certified by the Office of the Attorney General. DARCC is one of these certified centers.

“I believe we have the gold standard,” Executive Director Bobbie Villareal said. “I have looked at a lot of organizations and I really love our model. But there’s always improvement for growth and expansion and just for collaboration.”

DARCC summarizes their services with the acronym “PACE,” standing for prevention, advocacy, counseling and education.

There are many levels and layers to these categories.

DARCC provides everything from a 24/7 rape crisis hotline to prevention programs to volunteer training.

“The majority of our volunteers are women, but we believe that compassion has no gender and we strongly encourage male volunteers and interns in our process,” Urbaniak said. “We do have male volunteers and interns. We strongly believe in reaching out to all persons to get them involved in the movement.”

DARCC provides intensive volunteer training four times a year. The program is five weeks long.

Currently, the center has 42 active volunteers that consistently accompany victims to the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, work on the hotline or participate in educational programs.

DARCC is currently working on a couple sexual assault prevention programs in private and public schools.

The center is always open to beginning new ones with partnership from members of the community.

“I would love to see more prevention programs brought to SMU,” Uno said. “Maybe incorporate them into first-year orientation.”

Last semester, the SMU Student Senate began the “Not On My Campus” campaign, aimed at ending the silence around sexual assault. SMU is not alone in this fight.

The Women’s Center for Gender and Pride Initiatives does fundraising for DARCC. Every spring the proceeds from “The Vagina Monologues” are donated to the center. Last month, Men for Equality held “Smash Rape Culture on Campus,” where students paid $1 to swing at an old car. The event raised over $500 for DARCC. “We need help from the community to keep providing our services,” Clinical Director Shea Alexander said. “Not only in terms of their time, but also their finances. We need the community to support our existence and growth for our program to truly make an impact.”

Today, Mitchell has progressed to a place where she can share her story. She wants to prevent other young women from experiencing what she did.

“I was a victim, then a survivor and now I’m a thriver,” she said.

“A victim needs a place like DARCC to come to. Individuals need to know that in order to get better and to have that hope of a brighter future, that they must get help. Because there is life after rape.”

OPINION

FRIDAY n MAY 2, 2014 perspectives

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear students, I recently expressed my disappointment with the Student Senate vote on the proposed LGBT seat. I personally supported and voted for the creation of that seat and my comments concerning the SMU student body were misinterpreted and taken out of context by both The Daily Campus and Fox 4 News. My statement was intended to only express my personal frustration with the vote result. I regret that my comment was misinterpreted, and I apologize to anyone who may have been offended.

process and prompt investigation under SMU’s Title IX policy, or both processes. Learn more at smu.edu/LiveResponsibly.

BE INVOLVED

A year ago, SMU’s Task Force on Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures released its report recommending changes and new initiatives for our campus.

Since then, many students, faculty and staff members have been putting these recommendations into action to help prevent and raise awareness of sexual assault. Here are ways everyone at SMU can join our efforts: KNOW HOW TO GET HELP When a student reports a sexual assault to anyone at SMU, it is critical that he or she be informed how to obtain support. Students are urged to seek medical care and call police immediately.

Resources include SMU Police (214-768-3333), the SMU Title IX Coordinator (214-768-3601), the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital (214-3456203) and confidential counselors at the SMU Health Center (214768-4795) and Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center (972-641-7273).

Please save these numbers in your cellphone and learn more at smu. edu/LiveResponsibly.

UNDERSTAND CONSENT Consent means voluntary, clear, continuous, mutually understandable permission, given by words or actions, regarding one’s willingness to engage in sexual activity.

Being intoxicated is no excuse for failure to obtain consent. Coercion, force or threats invalidate consent. A student cannot give consent if he or she is incapacitated due to alcohol or drug use, or is asleep or unconscious. Please call 911 if you or another student needs help.

KNOW THE LAW, SMU POLICY AND YOUR RIGHTS Sexual assault is a crime under Texas law that is punishable by imprisonment from two to 20 years plus a fine up to $10,000.

Sexual assault also is a violation of SMU Policy 2.5.1 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. SMU prohibits sexual assault and has processes in place that hold violators accountable while treating all students fairly.

Students who experience sexual assault can choose whether to pursue criminal charges in Texas courts, an internal grievance

Through our collective efforts, we want to create a campus where sexual assault does not occur.

However, as the White House’s task force on campus sexual assaults reported this week, sexual assault is an underreported crime and a serious issue at universities across the country.

It’s important for our community to provide a supportive place for a student to come forward if a sexual assault does occur. We believe our efforts are making a difference. Students are coming forward to report sexual assaults and seek help, and the university has taken prompt and appropriate action.

Examples of the work our community has undertaken include a new online course for incoming students, in addition to a program focused on consent and sexual assault awareness. Student Senate adopted an SMU Values Statement and student leaders recently launched a “Not On My Campus” campaign that makes a powerful statement against sexual assault.

In addition, faculty and staff members now have informational cards about supporting students.

Posters explaining how to report sexual assault and obtain help are displayed across campus.

The SMU Title IX Coordinator and other SMU officials have participated in campus events to raise awareness and answer questions.

In fall 2014, the Health Center and Department of Psychology plan to launch a bystander intervention program. Continuing programs include Take Back the Night and Sexual Assault Awareness Week, sponsored by the Women’s Center and community members. Healthy relationships are explored in Wellness courses and Residence Life programs, and SMU Police continue to offer self-defense courses.

We thank Task Force members, students, faculty, staff and community members for contributing to this important work.

As we continue to develop and refine initiatives, we urge everyone to participate in SMU’s ongoing conversation about this serious national issue. We also invite you to join our efforts to prevent sexual assault and speak out against the attitudes that support it.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings believes it is a waste of time for the city council to vote on a resolution supporting same-sex marriage. In this picture, President Barack Obama shakes hands with Rawlings after arriving at Love Field in Dallas Oct. 4, 2011.

Give Mike Rawlings a chance Michael graves mwgraves@smu.edu Contributing Writer Welcome to my unpopular opinion – I’m excited to hear Mayor Mike Rawlings speak at the commencement ceremony this year.

I know he’s not a Bush. He’s also not a senator or nationallypowerful politician.

However, Mayor Rawlings cares about Dallas, and boy if SMU isn’t entangled with everything Dallas I don’t know what is.

Earlier this week, The Daily Campus ran a story that included quotes from other students supporting this decision, but also some who were not as excited to hear that someone more interesting would not join us for that special day.

But here’s the thing – Mayor Rawlings is a perfect fit for our commencement address.

Throughout the past year we’ve touted this new phrase “World Changers Shaped Here” around campus on signs and in speeches.

If we’re to live up to that message, we have to realize that we learn how to change the world by enacting change on a local level first.

When we get our hands dirty in our own communities, we see the great impact we can have and we are able to develop our skills to enact positive change on a much broader level.

Mayor Rawlings has worked to eradicate poverty (by 57 percent I might add), and build a better, more united Dallas metroplex.

When I sat at the Goals for Dallas Leadership Luncheon earlier this year, I was amazed at how many people said that Mayor Rawlings was the first mayor of Dallas they felt so enthusiastic about in a long time.

Furthermore, he wants us to

return to Dallas and work with him to unite the city that has supported us throughout these four years – and that’s a big deal.

At that luncheon, he called all of the students out to say that he hopes we will come back and serve our community with him.

That’s personal attention few speakers could provide.

Sure, he’s not perfect.

Would I like to see him publically support LGBT rights in the city? Absolutely. Am I critical of a couple of his goals and the means to achieve them?

You bet.

However, I sincerely feel that this man loves Dallas and loves this university.

And so why are we so frustrated that someone “cooler” isn’t coming?

That “cooler” person wouldn’t be as invested in the university.

They may not have a great understanding of what it means to truly invest in a city and strive

to change the world around them.

The “cooler” person wouldn’t stand on stage and tell you to come back some day because you are a valued member of the community.

The “cooler” person hasn’t taken a vested interest in forging a partnership between Southern Methodist University and the Dallas community, one from which we’ve all benefited.

Would it have been awesome to see someone like George Bush up there or a CEO like Warren Buffett? Sure (remember Rawlings was CEO of Pizza Hut for a while).

But standing before us May 17 will be a man who cares for this school, this city and our development more than most speakers we could hire, and that’s an exciting thing. It will be an honor to hear him speak.

Graves is a senior majoring in religious studies and communications.

Visiting artist Jin-me Yoon shares past experiences of her work annabel massey Contributing Writer amassey@smu.edu Korean-born artist Jin-me Yoon is an involved member of the Vancouver contemporary art community. She combines artistic elements to construct videos and photographs that explore the relationship between places, identities, actions and experiences.

“I use photography in my work, like performances for the camera and conceptual uses of photography, but I’ve never identified as a photographer,” Yoon said Tuesday evening during a speech at SMU. The inspiration for a large part of her work has been influenced by her childhood, Yoon said. After moving from Korea to Canada at a young age, she experienced a lot of change and started to question the notion of an individual in terms of identity.

“In Canada, I looked different,” said Yoon. “I was racialized from the surface of my body; whereas in Korea, I looked the same, but I felt different.”

Courtesy of Jin-me_Yooninland360.com

The cross between identity and place has always been a central theme in Yoon’s work. In 1996, she created a piece titled “A Group of Sixty-Seven,” which made reference to the year 1867, when the Canadian Confederation was formed, and to the year 1967, when restrictions on immigration to Canada were repealed. Yoon said she felt like she needed to create a large piece of art that encompassed the idea of a nation represented by an image of individuals.

Yoon captured images of 67 different Koreans posing in front of the same two photographs. After assembling the separate pictures together on the wall, the final product was meant to look like a flag, representing the image of a nation.

Yoon uses a variety of landmarks and historical references to explore how ideas, images and symbols are associated with one’s national identity and the records of the past.

In March, Yoon’s “Extended Temporalities” exhibition was presented at The Pollock Gallery of the Division of Art at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts. The exhibition highlighted relationships between the past and the present within the body through an ongoing series of video documentation.

For 21-year-old Elisabeth Marshall, an undergraduate student studying management science at SMU, Yoon’s exhibit was a form of inspiration for her writing. In her free time, Marshall said she enjoys writing about the associations between physical sensations, internal emotions and experiences from

the past. Marshall reflects on different dimensions of her past and explores its deeper value.

“The meaning is not easily absorbed, and it is never clearly defined,” said Marshall.

Marshall said she could relate to Yoon’s work because Yoon’s complex explorations also explore interpretations on a deeper level.

Yoon’s studies are built on past events that are embedded into the body, and her work is layered with historical references to create a double meaning.

“I’ve always been interested in that place where one thing isn’t the other,” she said. After viewing one of her videos for the first time, one would never attain its true meaning.

According to Yoon, “being an artist means trying new things and discovering ideas that were never anticipated.” Yoon believes that the interconnected elements of the past and the present have a relationship that reflects one’s experiences and defines one’s identity.

Suburbia to bring up-andcoming artists to North Texas this weekend jordan moore A&E Edior mooreja@smu.edu Friday and Saturday will debut a music festival in North Texas that has high hopes of becoming a returning show––much like the artists in the lineup.

Live Nation aims to bring a large-scale music festival to the area in the hopes that North Texas will listen attentively to the artists Suburbia will feature.

Some artists automatically stand out in the schedule, while some may require a listen for that “oh yeah, I know who this is” moment, and of course, some artists that may not have been heard by the masses quite yet.

TASTY SUBS

You can go with ‘This’... ...Or you can go with that.

As someone who is slowly approaching quarter age, I know one thing: I don’t want to be middle aged. You could say I’m on the cusp of a quarter-life crisis.

Instead of buying a hot rod and cheating on my wife, I want to play with legos and watch Disney Channel.

Because of that, “This” spoke to me. But what is “This” exactly?

“This” – a play by Melissa James Gibson – is a play that explores middle-age, marital disappointment and latent sexual attraction (especially forbidden latent sexual attraction). Directed by senior Sarah Hamilton, the show (part of the three plays in the “Rep”) stars two MFA students and three BFA students.

Throughout the course of the performance, four friends react to their disappointing lives, engage in extra-marital affairs and drink.

A lot.

The show, lively, eminently watchable and punchy with the dialogue, was entertaining and cut into sizeable vignettes to keep up the pace.

Courtesy of SMU Media.

‘This’ will have its last two performances Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

My criticism: certain roles were overacted; in particular the roles played

by MFA performers. The histrionics were on full display Wednesday night, and the swinging arms and bellowing tears became tiresome.

Senior theatre student Steven Smith largely carried the performance with his electric portrayal of a gay middle-aged man named Alan with an eidetic memory.

Smith’s comedic timing is impeccable, but his ability to hit the dramatic notes is just as powerful – a contrast which perfectly embodies the thematic absurdity of the show and ultimately life.

Number 3: Doak Walker

Haglund named All-Conference

Billy Embody Staff Sports Writer wembody@smu.edu

DemetriO Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu

Editors Note: For the past several issues we have been counting down the 25 greatest SMU athletes of alltime. This is number 3 of that list.

Honored on SMU’s campus with a statue and plaza in his name, Doak Walker is known throughout the football world as one of the best players ever to play the game.

The award for the nation’s top running back in collegiate football is named every year the Doak Walker Award and for good reason.

Walker almost did not attend SMU, but after a trip to see SMU play in New Orleans and his high school coach, he chose to enroll at SMU over going to Texas.

Walker enrolled on a Monday and played for SMU against Texas the next Saturday, and the rest is history.

Walker’s college career was briefly interrupted after he was drafted in the U.S. Army in 1946, but was able to get back to SMU in 1947 and that’s when “Poetry in motion,” started as Dan Jenkins, editor of a biography on Walker, put it.

Walker was an All-American at SMU in 1947, 1948 and 1949 as a two-way back.

Walker punted, returned punts and kickoffs and even kicked extra points for the Mustangs, winning the Maxwell Award as a sophomore and the Heisman Trophy as a junior.

To this day, Walker is still the only Mustang to win the Heisman Trophy, even though he was just 5-11, 170 pounds.

During his career, Walker and the Mustangs played in the Cotton Bowl on multiple occasions and it quickly became known as “The House that Doak Built,” and SMU had to move

Congratulations are in order for SMU sophomore Jenny Haglund who was named to the All-American Athletic Conference Team Thursday.

After bringing home the American Athletic Conference Championship in dominating fashion being named to the All-Conference team seemed probable.

Haglund finished the

final two rounds of the championship with a pair of 71s to win by five strokes.

In 11 of her 29 rounds this season, Haglund finished at par or better this season and is ranked 30th in the nation in the Golfstat rankings.

Next week, Haglund and the Mustangs will head to the NCAA Central Regional for the sixth time in school history and secondconsecutive appearance.

The 54-hole event will take place over three days in Stillwater, Okla.

their home games to the Cotton Bowl just to allow more fans to see Walker play.

Walker used to say though after games that he’d be sore, but, “…I never got any blisters working on that stadium.” thirtythousand seats were added to the Cotton Bowl during Walker’s time on SMU’s team as the team quickly outgrew Ownby Stadium on campus.

While Walker was injured most of his senior year, Collier’s Magazine was still ready to name him to the All-American team, but Walker instead asked for them to give it to a player that was more deserving.

Collier’s instead named Walker the 1949 Player of the Year for Sportsmanship.

AP did name Walker to their All-American team in 1947, 1948 and 1949 though.

His incredible college career

included 3,862 yards of total offense and 303 points.

After his time at SMU was finished, Walker landed with the Detroit Lions of the NFL and was named Rookie of the Year in 1950 and was an AllPro selection for four of his six seasons that he played.

Once he was reunited with his old Highland Park High School teammate Bobby Layne, the duo led the Lions to championships in 1952 and 1953.

Walker retired in 1955, accepting a job with a electrical construction company for the salary that he was earning in the NFL. Walker moved to Colorado when the business moved there, and remained in Colorado for the rest of his life.

Walker gave it a thought to coach football, but didn’t like the direction college football was headed.

Walker was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959 and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1973, but the NFL kept him out until 1986.

Once Walker was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, he said, “Now, I can finally retire.”

Walker wasn’t just a football player at SMU, he lettered on the basketball and baseball teams and was a member of Phi Delta Theta.

At Highland Park, Walker lettered in five sports, basketball, swimming, track, baseball and football. His teammate, Layne, ended up fueling the SMUUT rivalry while the two were in college.

Walker was seriously injured in a skiing accident in 1998 and his injuries kept him incapacitated until his death in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Sept.

27, 1998.
