ABC’s OF SMU

Athletics

SMU competes in 17 NCAA Division I sports and has been ranked as the top school in its conference for 10 of the last 12 years in the Director’s Cup Division I overall standings. More information about SMU and its coaches, student-athletes and teams is available at smumustangs.com.

Kathy Bates

The Academy Award-winning actress graduated from SMU in 1969 and is among the University’s many notable alumni that include Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, a Heisman Trophy winner and a former First Lady of the United States. SMU boasts approximately 112,000 alumni worldwide, with about 60,000 living in Texas and 40,000 residing in the Dallas-FortWorth area.

Boulevard

SMU students are fond of saying we don’t tailgate, we Boulevard! That’s because for every home football game, students, faculty, staff and alumni jam the normal tranquil setting of Bishop Boulevard in the heart of the SMU campus for food, fun and festivities for three hours leading up to kickoff.

Celebration of Lights

Every December, the SMU community gathers to witness the lighting of the trees in the Main Quad and listens as the University President reads the Christmas story from the Bible. The scene is illuminated by more than 100,000 lights in the trees and with luminarias lining the sidewalks. The Student Foundation-sponsored event includes caroling and special holiday performances and concludes with a reception in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center.

Dallas Hall

Designed after the library rotunda at the University of Virginia, Dallas Hall opened its doors in 1915 and housed the entire University as well as a bank and a barbershop. The three-story rotunda is topped with brilliant stained glass, and the dome is copper with a rich green patina. The University seal is on the floor under the Rotunda. Dallas Hall is one of 10 SMU buildings listed on the National Historic Register. Source: smu.edu

Exercise

The Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports — which completed a $25 million expansion and renovation in 2006 — offers 170,000 square feet of indoor recreational space plus an outdoor social area that includes The Falls (zero entry pool with 7-foot waterfalls), two sand volleyball courts and leisure spaces.

Greek Life

Greek Life at SMU traces its roots to 1915 when the first four fraternity chapters were established, according to the SMU website. Ninety-six years and tens of thousands of members later, the fraternity and sorority community is vibrant and now offers 28 national fraternities and sororities. Recruitment begins the week before second semester starts in January. Students can learn more about Greek recruitment at information meetings and Greek events, scheduled throughout the fall semester.

TCU ended up winning the game, the skillet and the frog legs. Now, the winner of the game receives an iron skillet trophy. Source: wikipedia.org

June Jones

June Jones, who enters his fifth season as SMU head football coach, was recently named the top coach in Conference USA for the 2011-2012 season by The Sporting News. Jones, a mastermind of one of the most prolific offensive attacks ever created — the run-and-shoot — tallied his 100th win as a college coach in SMU’s 28-6 win over the Pittsburgh Panthers in the 2012 BBVA Compass Bowl. The bowl marked the Mustangs’ third consecutive bowl appearance after a 25-year drought. Source: smumustangs.com

Hilltop

Because Dallas Hall was built on a hill on what was — at the time — the outskirts of Dallas, the University has been nicknamed “The Hilltop.”

The University’s nine libraries house the largest private collection of research materials in the Southwest, with more than three million volumes. Main libraries include Fondren Library, Bridwell Library of Perkins School of Theology, Underwood Law Library, DeGolyer Library, Hamon Arts Library and The Business Information Center in Cox School of Business.

Newspaper

The Daily Campus has been serving as the independent voice of the SMU community since 1915. The studentproduced newspaper is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during regular academic terms. The newspaper is available free-of-charge to students, faculty and staff at more than 50 boxes located across the campus or online at smudailycampus.com. The newspaper offers paid positions

Peruna

On November 4, 1932, Peruna I made his first appearance at a pep rally prior to an SMU football game against Texas A&M University. The feisty black Shetland pony, named after a popular, alcohol-laced tonic of the Prohibition era, was an immediate success as the ultimate embodiment of the Mustang spirit. After being struck and killed by a car on Mockingbird Lane during a 1934 Halloween celebration, the entire University community went into mourning. Since that time, SMU has been represented by nine Perunas — including the current Peruna IX, which was introduced at a halftime ceremony on Oct. 15, 2011 (shown below). All of the Perunas — except for Peruna I — have been donated and cared for by the generous Culwell family.

Mustangs

When the SMU community decided in 1917 a new mascot was needed to symbolize its unified spirit, faculty and students were asked to submit nominations. On October 25, 1917, the University community voted from among four possibilities — Bison, Greyhounds, Pioneers and Mustangs. The contributor of the winning symbol was Miss Dorothy

Opening Convocation

Iron Skillet

The “Battle for the Iron Skillet” is the name given to the football rivalry between SMU and Texas Christian University, whose campuses are separated by just 40 miles in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. While the exact origin of the story of the Iron Skillet remains unknown, it is rumored to have originated from a pregame festivity in the 1950s when an SMU

Ever wanted to live in The Land Down Under or report on the status of children living in Romanian orphanages? Ever wanted to study art and architecture in France and Spain or track the political and legal developments in Argentina? These are but a few of the current Study Abroad opportunities that SMU students have recently undertaken. Students need to have completed their first year and have sophomore standing (minimum 24 semester hours at the Dallas campus) to be eligible to participate in SMU’s more than 130 study abroad programs.

SUMMER 2012 n

Enjoy some of the taste of Southern summer while at AARO Whether you’re a Dallas-Fort Worth native or are making your first visit to the area, the one thing all can share in common is an appreciation for the local cuisine. Summertime in North Texas brings out some of the best food offerings the area has to offer. Here, in no particular order, are some of our favorites: Milk shakes Formerly known as Highland Park Pharmacy, the Highland Park Soda Shop (3229 Knox St., 75205) — in business since 1912 — exudes nostalgic charm. Though they serve a wide selection of sandwiches and soups, the real draw is the Soda Shop’s old-fashioned milk shakes. All the traditional flavors are available, as are pineapple, cherry and butterscotch. For $4, grab a seat at the counter and enjoy a sweet, creamy milk shake served in a cold, frosted glass. Hot Dogs This whimsically decorated venue has crafted nine signature hot dogs that are sure to please. In addition to being reasonably priced at roughly $5 a dog, Wild About Harry’s (3113 Knox St., 75205) is good about offering options. For 80 cents you can upgrade a regular hot dog to a jumbo dog, veggie dog or polish sausage. One of their most popular items is the Knox Street dog. Frequently

compared to In-N-Out’s animalstyle items, this unique dog is served with thousand island dressing, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese. For the less adventurous, all of the traditional toppings are available as well. Lemonade cake Citrus and summer is one of those timeless combinations that everyone puts their own spin on. Bread Winner’s Cafe and Bakery (3301 McKinney Ave., 75204) makes a dessert that perfectly utilizes this flavor combo. Their lemonade cake is delightfully indulgent without being too heavy or over-the-top sweet. Not all of their cakes are available everyday however, so if you’re really craving a slice, be sure to call ahead and verify. Iced coffee Once called Urban Dog Coffee, Oak Lawn Coffee (2720 Oak Lawn Ave., 75219) got a makeover last September. A lot of changes were made, including the addition of a bold sign on their exterior proclaiming themselves the makers of Dallas’ best iced coffee. Most who try the drink, technically referred to as a shaken espresson are inclined to agree. Prepared by using a martini shaker, this cold, frothy beverage is a musthave for a hot summer day.

Strawberry popovers The Dream Cafe (2800 Routh St., 75201) has a lot going for it – a delightfully eclectic atmosphere and tasty food. Arguably one of the best items on their menu though, are their popovers. These lighter than air, hollow rolls are baked to perfection and served with whipped strawberry butter. Though listed as an appetizer, no one will judge you if make them your meal. Raspberry lemonade Nothing hits the spot better on a hot day than a cold, tart and sweet glass of lemonade. Why else would America’s child entrepreneurs stand on the sidewalk selling the stuff when the temperature is in the triple digits? For a twist on the beverage that’s better than anything you’ll get at a roadside stand, head on over to Eatzi’s (3403 Oak Lawn Ave., 75219). Their raspberry lemonade is everything you love about traditional lemonade, but with an added dimension of fruity sweetness. Grilled fish tacos Conveniently close to campus, Dive Coastal Cuisine (3404 Rankin St., 75205) is the quintessential summer restaurant. A must-have on their menu is the Del Mar tacos. For $12 you get your pick of three tacos served on soft corn tortillas. Choices include three “land”

and three “sea” meats, but the best and most refreshing option is the soy ginger lime grilled fish. Order whatever you like for your other two tacos, but make sure you get a least one of the grilled fish.

In particular, Half-Shells Oyster Bar & Grill (6617 Snider Plaza, 75205) serves a slice worth mentioning. For $5 you can snag a piece of this cool, citrusy favorite that also happens to be within walking distance of campus.

Lemonade cupcakes Just to be sure that we cover our bases on lemonade in every way, shape, and form, make sure to put The Cupcakery’s (2222 McKinney Ave. #230, 75201) Strawberry Lemonade cupcake on your summer sweets list. Zesty lemon cake baked with fresh strawberry puree and topped with strawberry cream cheese frosting creates the perfect blend of tangy and sweet. For a cupcake, they’re not cheap at $3.50 a pop, but it’s summer. Go a little crazy.

Blueberries You may be able to find blueberries year-round, but they’re in season in the summer, which is when you’ll find the most flavorful pickings. In celebration of the season, try them in Rex’s Seafood Market’s blueberry pie. Located at Lovers and Inwood, this restaurant loads their pie full of fresh blueberries. You’ll never want a winter-blueberry again.

Mango water Urban Taco (Mockingbird Station, 75201) offers a very diverse array of alcoholic beverages, but the real gem of their drink menu is the mango water. Falling somewhere between a juice and a flavor infused water – this drink is light and refreshing, but has all the love of biting into a perfectly ripe menu. In short, it’s the perfect compliment to any meal. Key lime pie Even though key lime pie is believed to have originated in Key West, Fla., Cajun and seafood restaurants seem to prepare the dish remarkably well.

Snow cones Chip’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers (4530 Lovers Lane, 75225) has been around long enough that they’re practically part of the landscape. It’s worth the stop though – not only do they make a fantastic burger, but they also serve up a great snow cone. You won’t find any mention of snow cones on the menu, but rest assured – they’re there. On a warm day, the children of Highland Park flock to Chip’s for the cold, refreshing treats. Follow their example, embrace your innerchild, and go treat yourself to some sweet shaved ice.

Fishery workers display some of the day’s catch of carp during Michael Tran’s Engaged Learning project.

Engaged Learning in full swing Three students conducted projects during 2011-2012, Engaged Learning’s seminal year at SMU. Now, nearly 40 students are off and running, making their mark on the world. Projects range from designing cleansers to remove heavy metals from polluted waters at an SMU lab to developing and launching a student leadership curriculum in Irving, Texas, to creating performance art that documents urban demise and renewal in a Pennsylvanian community to researching chronic kidney disease in sugar cane workers in Nicaragua. SMU’s Engaged Learning initiative brings together classroom learning and direct experience in the field, be it on campus, locally, nationally or abroad. Projects range from research, community service, professional internships and creative work. The factor common to all projects is the student’s desire to engage beyond the classroom in real work while still in college, a liberal arts education at its best. Engaged Learning Project Spotlight Senior Michael Tran, a double major in mathematics and computer engineering, is an international student from Vietnam. Fish is a regular staple of the diet in his homeland. This fact made Tran curious to better understand the problem of Asian

carp, an invasive species in the United States, and what to do about it. Tran brought in his friend, senior Justice Pirkey, also a mathematics major, to undertake a toxicology study of the fish. While Tran looks for solutions, Pirkey’s research is helping them understand the data on the carp population and levels of contamination. Tran originally proposed a feasibility study to determine if the carp could be used as a food crop. After visiting research stations and fisheries along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in May, Tran’s proposal has expanded from if to how — how the carp can be harvested and used as a food crop for global humanitarian food aid. Read more about Tran’s project on the Engaged Learning Blog at smu.edu/engagedlearning SMU will celebrate the accomplishments of 100 students engaged beyond the classroom this summer in an afternoon event on Monday, Aug. 27, 2012. 100 Projects; 100 Students will bring together the students, their faculty and staff mentors, SMU community partners, and the campus organizations who make Engaged Learning happen. All are invited. For more information, contact the Office of Engaged Learning, Clements Hall, G-13, 214-7683223 or engagedlearning@smu. edu.

THEN & NOW: SMU FASHION IS TIMELESS A lot can change in 100 years and popular fashions on the SMU campus are no different. Bright checked shirts for men were spotted everywhere on campus in the 1960s, often paired with dressy slacks and horn-rimmed glasses. Women dressed conservatively at SMU in the 1930s, but knew how to add pops of color into their ensembles, like a striped skirt or bright loafer. Although these styles might be decades old, styles always comes full circle. These looks are an updated take on trends that take us back in time.
