Renovations refresh campus

By BRIDGET BENNETT

will serve as a welcome center for visitors.

Every alumni class will have a reunion over a five year period, generating more visitors to campus, Bucker said.

He also said that the increased press coverage SMU has received for the centennial and the Bush Presidential Center has generated a large number of prospective student visits.

“Last year, we received the largest number of applicants the university has ever seen, “ Bucker said.

He hopes the exhibit will be a place for prospective students, alumni, and other visitors to learn more about SMU and take pride in being a part of the SMU community.

The official opening of the exhibit is Sept. 9.

News Director brekow@smu.edu

A number of changes have taken place this summer on the Hilltop. Whether a visitor of Hughes-Trigg, the Cox School of Business or Meadows School of the Arts, returning students, faculty and staff have a lot to get used to. Here’s a look at some of those changes.

MEADOWS The Bob Hope Lobby, Taubman Atrium and Greer Garson second floor lobby have had a furniture remodel.

Three years ago, the Starbucks coffee cart was added to the Taubman Atrium. According to Jay Hengst, the Meadows facilities manager, inexpensive furniture was placed in the area to see how students would like the area.

When the area proved to be a popular hang out and study area, Hengst said it was time for new, more permanent furniture.

The remodel took six months of planning, designing and manufacturing.

The new design features a serpentine couch in the Bob Hope Lobby, the main entrance to Meadows.

In the atrium, campfire style study nooks have been set up for student meetings. The campfires have tablets on the central table for students to write notes or lyrics.

These campfire areas are another test to see how students like and use the space.

If they are well received, Hengst said, they may be adding more campfires to other areas of Meadows in the future.

But, Hengst said the highlights of the remodel, in his opinion, are the red caprice barstools.

“That was the first thing I had to have, everything else came second.”

THE MARKET Sushic and eS MUcho are two new dining options inside the Hughes-Trigg market. The MARKET and Montague’s Deli were remodeled over the summer to accommodate the additions.

Many new additions to SMU’s campus are the Second Century of Achievement exhibit in the Hughes-Trigg basement, the renovated mail and copy center, new furniture in Meadows and a Tex-Mex dining option in the MARKET.

MARKET, The Varsity, Cafe 100, the Meadow’s Starbucks Cart and Mac’s Place. They will also make custom-order sushi rolls at their counter in The MARKET. eS MUcho is a new, on-campus location for Tex-Mex lovers.

Burritos, Salads, quesadillas and chicken tortilla soup are available to purchase at the counter.

Denise Clarke, the director of operations for SMU’s Dining Services, said, eS MUcho is a result of student requests and feedback.

She said many students requested some kind of Mexican/ Tex Mex food option on campus.

Clarke said they came up with the model for eS MUcho based on restaurant chains like Chipotle and Taco Bell that are popular with college-age students.

For people who were

fans of Montigue’s Deli, SMU Dining services has made some of Montigue’s most popular items pre-made each day and regularly available for purchase.

THE MAIL CENTER The SMU Post office is now a Mail and Copy Central operated

by RICOH Business Solutions.

The front desk has been remodeled with a few changes for users.

All packages can now be picked up at the front desk—that’s the same place users can send out packages, purchase stamps and now also fulfill printing needs.

Alpha Graphics is no longer operating on campus, but Mike Wells, from SMU’s Alpha Graphics, is now working with RICOH. Wells said the new

printing and copy service on campus will cost customers about half of what they used to pay at Alpha Graphics.

Allison Tweedy, the senior director of campus services, said the reduced cost was a major motivation for the operator switch.

“It made sense financially and from a service perspective,” Tweedy said.

HUGHES-TRIGG BASEMENT The reception area in front of the Hughes-Triggs ballroom is now Centennial Hall.

The area has been remodeled for the 2011-2015 celebration of SMU’s 100th anniversary.

Robert Bucker, the managing director for the Second Century Celebration, said the exhibit

First-year students might have started their day on Monday thinking about what outfit to wear or what school supplies to bring to class. Others might have thought about who they would meet or what clubs they could join.

Many however, did not think about the lecture they would have to attend centered around it: sex.

More than 1,000 first-year and returning students piled into McFarlin Auditorium to listen to the Delta Gamma Foundation Leadership in Values and Ethics event, “Let’s Talk About ‘It!’” Kelly Addington and Becca Tieder, the featured speakers and experts on sexual empowerment and sexual assault awareness and prevention, started the evening on a lighter note.

“We are all about breaking barriers and stretching comfort zones,” Addington said. “I invite you to sit back and relax and get ready for a double dose of sexual empowerment.”

Tieder immediately got the crowd involved, many of whom were chatting amongst themselves or busy on their cell phones.

The purpose of the lecture, as

Tieder mentioned from the start, was to make sure every audience member felt comfortable when talking about “it.”

“We didn’t come here to tell you sex is wrong or sex is evil,” Tieder said. “We came to talk about sexual violence in a world that every single one of you can play in the prevention.”

Addington and Tieder shared the story of their friendship and the sisterhood that blossomed out of the hardships they had to face when Addington was sexually assaulted.

“The recovery process was really difficult for me. And so I decided that the way I was going to handle this, was I was going to forget that it ever happened,” Addington said Addington said she was scared people would see her as the victim, something she didn’t want to be portrayed as, but said she eventually had the courage to tell others about her story.

After Addington and Tieder finished, Dr. Cathey Soutter, coordinator of psychological services for women at SMU, shared a few words on campus resources and introduced Monika Korra, SMU senior, who chose to share her story to an audience for the first time.

SMU gets serious about sex

By MEREDITH CARLTON

The library, located in the ground level of the Maguire building, is currently being renovated to celebrate the library’s 25th anniversary. The remodel will include additional group study rooms, expanded research capabilities, updated reference spaces and a prominent new entrance.

In the space that used to serve as the library computer lab, Cox is creating a new classroom space and hub for financial research.

The classroom will be managed as part of the finance department and will be located just inside the library’s entrance.

A grand opening to unveil the investing and trading center will be held Sept. 28.

The Business library is temporarily working out of three locations during this renovation.

Library reference is in 172 Maguire, the computer and copy center is in 174 Maguire, and the BIC administrative office is in 176 Crow. The renovated library is expected to re-open in mid-September.

have happened anywhere, could have happened to anyone” Korra said. “But it happened to me here in Dallas. It happened to be an SMU student. And that student happened to be me.”

Korra proceeded to tell the audience that they can’t control everything that happens in life, but they can focus on controlling how they respond to what happens.

Paolo Stanchi, SMU firstyear, felt Korra’s story added another element to the evening.

“It’s kind of like the real world,” Stanchi said. “This is not a perfect place and stuff does happen, you just always have to be ready for it.”

Upperclassmen athletes who were encouraged to attend the lecture agreed.

“I think it was really good that Monica stood up,” Alice McCall, a sophomore, said. “I mean obviously it took a lot for her to do, but it just makes it a little more real.”

Karen Click, director of SMU’s Women Center, believed the night was beneficial to all.

“As a community, we are here to support each other,” she said. “This is beneficial to every member of our campus.”

Webzine launches at SMU

By ASHLEY WITHERS Editor in Chief awithers@smu.edu

An online magazine focusing on news and entertainment for college girls is launching its latest branch at SMU. Her Campus SMU launches Sept. 6 and campus correspondent Caroline Wright is leading the charge.

“I had heard about the site from many of my friends at other colleges who were avid readers or wrote for their school’s branch,” Wright, an SMU junior, said. “I immediately loved how the site only talked about topics that were relevant to me as a college girl and wished I had read these articles before my first year of college.”

Her Campus (HerCampus. com) is an online magazine designed to serve as a hotspot for college women and their life on campus. The site has articles on everything from style to health to career.

The website was founded by three friends at Harvard and has since grown into a national site serving over 175 campuses.

The site features more general content for its national audience, as well as campus-specific articles to fit the needs of its collegiate women’s audience. The magazine

also serves as a way for aspiring journalists to get content published on a national scale.

“Her Campus SMU will provide women at SMU with personalized information just for them about getting the most out of college life as a woman at SMU, with information on campus events, a photo blog, campus ‘celebrities’ and more,” Her Campus CEO and co-founder Stephanie Kaplan said.

The SMU team has collected material and written articles for the site’s launch all summer long, and Wright can’t wait to share the online magazine with the rest of campus.

“My favorite section of the site is the My Campus Branch News part because the news articles and events are specific to each of the schools’ students, whether it is about night life, classes, love life or fitness tips,” Wright said.

“We’re really excited to open up Her Campus SMU and to work with someone as talented as Caroline Wright,” Kaplan said in a recent press release. “As the new semester begins, having an academic institution like SMU contributing to Her Campus on a regular basis should be a tremendous resource for our growing audience.”

Tacos take the title as the new trendy treat

As taco shops pop up around Dallas, we take a deeper look into the latest food craze hitting the metroplex

By CHRISTINE JONAS Contributing Writer nblankensh@smu.edu

Move over cupcakes and frozen yogurt, a new food trend has hit Dallas and this time it comes in the form of a taco.

Stepping away from the many dessert trends, we can move onto the new trend of taco shops and restaurants.

This trend has hit unexpectedly, but with numerous taco shops and restaurants appearing around town, you can’t help but notice everyone has tacos on their mind.

These taquerias don’t come solely in the style of Tex-Mex, but styles from all over the country and world.

With two locations near campus, it is very apparent that Chipotle Mexican Grill: Gourmet Burritos and Tacos has grown in popularity over the past few years.

The influence Chipotle has had on the community has helped the Latin cuisine grow in popularity as well.

This influence has spread far and wide proving taco shops to be a sure-fire idea for a restaurant.

Here on SMU’s campus, students can see the taco trend first hand in The MARKET, located on the main level of Hughes-Trigg Student Center. Montague’s Deli,

DIGG’s Taco Shop, located on Hilcrest Avenue across from the Umphrey Lee Center, is one of the many locations in the Dallas area to capitalize on the taco shop trend. In addition to tacos, DIGG’s also sells hamburgers and slow-cooked brisket.

giving students and residents many options in their search for a

great taco.

Directly across the street from campus, at 6309 Hillcrest Ave., is DIGG’s Taco Shop. DIGG’s, which opened earlier this year, has quickly become a favorite for students during and after school.

Their small menu has options ranging from tacos to quesadillas and burritos.

On some nights, DIGG’s Taco Shop even offers live music with drink deals and other special events.

With its closest location in Mockingbird Station, Urban Taco: Modern Mexican Taqueria has established itself as “the first upscale taqueria in Dallas.”

Happy Hour is offered at Urban Taco everyday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and offers great deals on drinks.

Other shops around town include Rusty Taco located at 4802 Greenville Ave. and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop located at 6465 E Mockingbird Lane.

With this new food trend well underway, there are plenty of taco shop options around town to see what all the talk is about.

Taco shops are a great place for students to go because they are very affordable and filling. Plus, most of these shops have a great ambiance.

Junior Jeremy Rechtien frequently visitosr the climbing wall in the Dedman Center. The 40-foot structure has multiple difficulty routes.

Many students enter Dedman and immediately walk over to the gates, swipe their ID card and head down the stairs to the cardio and weight room.

Many people do not realize that just behind the weight room is the cycling room and TRX Suspension Trainers.

The room is used for the cycling and some of the Group X classes.

There are only 10 TRX machines and “everything is first come first serve,” Tracy Veliz, the associate director of the Dedman Facility, said.

Another area downstairs that isn’t used as frequently is the outdoor activities center.

This is where students can learn about and sign up for zip lining, skydiving, kayaking in Fiji and many other outdoor adventures that the center offers.

Veliz says that the great thing about the outdoor adventures is that members can go on incredible adventures at amazing deals.

The outdoor activities center is also the place to go if you and

PREVENTION

Study suggests exercise helps anxiety Health & Fitness Editor bsuba@smu.edu

Haley Cooper, a senior at SMU, started getting night terrors when she was 8 years old.

Those night terrors soon lead to problems with anxiety plus the occasional panic attack.

Cooper says she is still affected by her anxiety today but she uses exercise as a way to distract herself when she is stressed.

“Exercise is great to relieve or distract me when I’m stressed, it keeps my mind off anxiety and passes the time so I move past it,” she said.

Studies have shown that exercise has a similar effect on the body as an anti-depressant. Not only does it produce endorphins, exercise also helps improve high blood pressure, and can help prevent diabetes and arthritis.

A recent study, conducted by a team of researchers, including

EXERCISE

Hidden Treasures at Dedman Rec Center Derek Ruiz, a personal trainer at SMU, created the Mustang Shed and Shred program last year as a way for students to get together in a group or with friends for a more intense work out.

“The class is a cross training, high intensity twist on boot camps,” Ruiz said.

Mustang Shed and Shred is supposed to shed fat and shred muscle, advertising itself as the “toughest exercise program offered at SMU.” The class is $100 for five weeks, which includes 10 sessions, a polar body age assessment and a nutrition and cardio plan.

Personal training and Mustang Shed and Shred are just two of the many programs that the SMU Dedman Recreation Center has to offer.

However, most people who

Wednesday, August 24, 2011 •

Jasper Smits, SMU psychologist and lead researcher, suggests that exercise may also help people with anxiety and panic attacks.

“If people exercise repeatedly they find that the sensations they were afraid of are benign.

Exercise can help them overcome those panics,” Smits said.

He believes that a lot of people experience panic attacks occasionally.

Panic attacks and anxiety are caused by two main factors. The first is biological factors, such as the fact that some people have a more sensitive alarm system and secondly, psychological factors, the way people fear bodily sensations or the panic itself, Smits said.

In his research on exercise and panic attacks, Smits and his team had a group of students who suffer from panic attacks participate in two weeks of regular exercise, three days a week.

They found that the students were afraid of the sensations associated with exercise because they are similar to those connected with panic attacks.

“When you get on a treadmill you experience the symptoms that people with panic attacks experience,” Smits said, “And when they learn they are safe they begin to overcome panic disorder.”

However, Smits says that the research is still relatively new and although it does not prove that exercise cures panic disorders, it suggests that regular exercise may help reduce anxiety.

For more information on Smits and his teams research, visit the SMU Research website at blog. smu.edu/research. Smits is also co-author of the book “Exercise for Mood and Anxiety,” which deals more closely with improving your mood through exercise.

your friends are planning an outdoor or camping trip.

This is where members can rent equipment such as tents, sleeping bags, kayaks and bicycles at a low price.

One more area to take note of downstairs is the massage room.

Most people see the massage chairs sitting directly below the stairs, but Dedman also has a room where members can purchase private massages for $60 an hour.

For people looking for nonsport, recreational fun the third floor is where you need to be.

There are two pool tables, a ping-pong table and shuffleboard.

All of the equipment can be rented at the front desk and is a great place for friends to get together and hang out at night.

No matter how many times you have visited Dedman there is probably something there that you never knew existed.

Where are the parking spots?

CONTRIBUTOR

This is my third year living on campus, and, like many other students, I have had a car on campus each year. This of course means that each year I have paid about $270 for the ability to park on campus.

There is of course much frustration involving parking, but that is to be expected with all of the changes our campus is currently experiencing. All Brad Ray of these initiatives are great, but limited parking is an unfortunate side effect of major construction projects. One easily fixed problem that goes unnoticed, however, is the problem experienced on Sunday mornings. Each week, Highland Park United Methodist Church attendees choose not to use the garages and shuttle services, instead taking over the McElvaney lot and any other spaces across campus they can find. Should you have to leave your parking spot for any reason, chances are slim to none that you will find a spot upon your return. None of these people pay the $270 for a parking permit, yet they are allowed to freely take the spots students pay for.

Playing the blame game and pointing fingers gets us nowhere.

I will give these visitors the benefit of the doubt and assume that they just don’t know the rules involving parking on campus, nor that they can park in the garages and have a shuttle take them directly to HPUMC. Instead, I encourage SMU to take action. SMU should work with HPUMC to hammer out a plan that is beneficial to both parties and that solves, or at least alleviates, this issue. Perhaps we could have Park-n-Pony enforcement on the weekends, SMU PD directing traffic, or even a swipe card gate. Something needs to be implemented.

I myself, along with several other students, feel like this problem has been exacerbated in recent months by the Park Cities passing ordinances to prohibit students from parking on the streets surrounding campus. With parking options off campus no longer available and parking lots on campus full of visitors, students on campus experience many issues. I am not trying to be vindictive or cause backlash against the Park Cities new parking district, I promise. In fact, I think it is great that we have such a strong relationship with the surrounding community! However, when we experience a large influx of cars on campus each week, students are left with few options as far as parking goes. They are unable to use the spots that they paid for.

I realize that SMU, Student Senate, Park-n-Pony and all other relevant parties are doing their best to deal with parking on campus in this time of construction and transition, but I feel that this is an issue that goes largely unnoticed. I hope that this article will serve to bring this issue up in conversation around campus.

Often, there is a simple fix, but until a problem is identified, no solution will be found.

Though classes have officially started again, most people’s schedules are far from thoroughly Brandon Bub definite.

As students get better acquainted with their class times and just how much time each of their classes will take up, it becomes easier to start planning things like jobs, extracurricular activities and time to be spent with friends.

However, even the classes that you take can still be pretty up in the air. The deadline to add and drop classes is this Friday, which means that you can still swap out classes that you feel like you might be interested in without penalty through the end of the week.

The add drop period at the beginning of the semester can certainly be a mixed blessing sometimes. On one hand, for OPINION

some students who were put on a waitlist to get into a class it can be a saving grace as it’s often the last possible time that space within a class will open. Moreover, for some people who didn’t get as much of a chance to plan out their schedule as thoroughly as they might have liked, being able to drop or swap out some classes that might be completely different than what you’d originally expected can be helpful so that you don’t end up stuck in a class for an entire semester that you might not enjoy or that might not be relevant to your major.

However, the add/drop deadline system can sometimes present problems too. All too often I know I’ve been in classes where the number of students present halved between the first and second lecture of the semester. Of course a good amount of people have legitimate reasons for dropping a class, but there are plenty of other excuses too. “The professor scared me with the syllabus,” “I didn’t know there were going to be this many tests,”

or “Everyone who told me this was going to be an easy A lied” are just a few of the excuses I’ve heard for giving up on a class within the first week of school.

I’m certainly not one to dictate your schedule for you, and ultimately the onus falls upon the individual to decide if a class isn’t right for them, but I do think that a person really ought to exercise caution when considering dropping a class so quickly. It’s your college experience and I do think that you ought to pick classes that will be rewarding as well as relevant towards your major. That being said, I really think that people who drop a class because they think it’s going to be difficult are often doing themselves a disservice. This is college; if your classes aren’t difficult or challenging in some way then you’re probably wasting your own time.

All too often we view our classes as some sort of obstacle standing in the way of us graduating. If we know that it’s going to be

especially difficult to get an A in a class, we’re far more likely to get out while we still can. However, you can’t measure the success of an experience with numbers or letter marks. I recently took a class in which I received an A minus, tarnishing my 4.0 average up to this point in my academic career.

However, I consider that particular class to be one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had so far.

It definitely is difficult sometimes to come up with a satisfactory schedule, but how tough one expects a class to be shouldn’t be the only factor that deters us from taking a class. With great challenge comes great reward, and you might find that putting in that extra bit of effort can make all the difference down the road.

Where is Obama’s competition?

CONTRIBUTOR

The hype surrounding Republican candidates, while temporarily entertaining, ultimately leads Michael Dearman to nowhere for the GOP. There are plenty of possible candidates vying for the Republican nomination in the 2012 election, but I believe that as more and more candidates enter the field, people take the candidates less and less seriously.

Even members within the Republican party acknowledge that the candidates are just not up to par (whatever par is for the GOP). POLITICO recently cited several Wall Street Journal articles

saying that “too many conservative elites, Rick Perry is a dope, Michele Bachmann is a joke, and Mitt Romney is a fraud.”

Publishing these perspectives in a respectable, right-wing newspaper like the Journal is not a good indicator of Republican sentiment for their own candidates. Watching rumors of infighting between Karl Rove and his own creation, Rick Perry, unfold in the news is only another indicator about the frantic search for an appropriate Republican candidate.

Let us not forget that the election is over a year away, and a viable candidate has plenty of time to surface before then. What the GOP does risk is, in all of their ideological differences, running another candidate equivalent to John McCain. By that, I mean an

unelectable candidate that cannot match up with President Obama in charisma and sheer campaigning ability.

If a candidate like Rick Perry is nominated, then it remains to be seen if the moderate and independent citizens of the U.S. will cast their votes for a radically conservative candidate or remain supportive of what they know: mediocracy and status quo.

In the face of such polarizing candidates like Perry and Bachmann, it is much more of a gamble for the Republican party to nominate them, because it is hard to gauge how voters will react to them. It remains an issue of alternatives at this point.

President Obama has had a pretty dismal performance as president. While this has not been

entirely his doing because of the even more alarming performance of Congress, most problems that have occurred during his administration will be pinned on him.

Rasmussen recently (Aug. 17) stated that only “15 percent of likely U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction,” while “[e]ighty percent (80%) of voters say the country is heading down the wrong track.”

The statistics do not bode well for President Obama, but those statistics may not bode well for the country where the other alternative is frighteningly far from the center.

Making a change in student’s hands CONTRIBUTOR

It was another lonely Friday night. I sat at my desk with the lights off, entranced by the dim, flickering light of my Andrew Pinkowitz computer monitor.

Desperation and disappointment surged into my psyche. I felt hopeless.

Then, inspiration struck. After hours of aimless web browsing, I stumbled upon the story of Ben Davis. Ben, weighing 358 pounds and overcome with depression, decided to run. On his website, bendoeslife.com, I was able to pry into his thoughts and feelings as he overcame his first 5K, 10K, Sprint Triathlon, Half-Marathon, Marathon, and amazingly, his first Ironman. “If he can do this,” I pondered, “I certainly can

too.” It was time for me to make a change.

So, I made a blog. It had humble beginnings, just like many other fitness-hopefuls.

It was a really strange feeling; I never had been so open with my thoughts, and putting them out there on a public setting was undoubtedly terrifying. However, I took solace in knowing that I was not the only person with such a journey.

I started my journey at 224 pounds. Though not morbidly obese, it was enough to make me feel self-conscious. Many times in the past I would go to the gym, work out with a trainer for a month or two, and later lose motivation. I convinced myself that this time, it has to stick.

My runs were slow, but consistent. I realized that I was no Usain Bolt; my goal was, instead, completion. Following the Couch-to-5K plan from Cool

Running, the workouts started off challenging, but just enough.

It was hard not to feel fulfilled with a shirt drenched with sweat down to my belly button.

The power of slow, incremental progress is astounding. With just a little increase in intensity each day and a few subtle changes in diet, a herculean task becomes feasible. Now, this isn’t to say it didn’t come with sacrifice.

There were many days when I would groan and mumble, thinking “Man, my shins really hurt today!” or “Missing one day couldn’t be too bad, right?”

Vanquishing such thoughts showed me that this endeavor was more mental training than physical.

Ultimately, I managed to work through the difficult days.

After persevering through my first 20-minute outdoor run, I knew anything was within reach.

The weight was falling off. I was

CARTOON

beginning to feel happy.

This all crystalized when I went to the Do Life 5K on Katy Trail. There, I ran with Ben Davis himself; alongside my roommate Jim and many fellow “Do Lifers”.

It was an experience that I think everyone deserves to have. So far, I’ve lost 23 pounds in the past three months, and I plan to keep pushing forward.

In essence, getting a healthy mind and body is absolutely feasible. Just don’t expect anything overnight. It’s going to take work, but it will happen.

Make a plan, stick to it, tell everyone you know about it and enjoy the ride. It has proven to be the best decision of my life.

The SMU Women’s Soccer team (1-1-0) picked up their first win of the season over Stephen F. Austin in a 2-1 victory Monday night.

The victory was sealed with sophomore Amelia Ambrose’s last minute goal.

With only two minutes left, Ambrose sent the ball to the back of the net lifting the Mustangs over SFA. Junior Mallory Baum also contributed to the win with an early first-half goal.

Senior Courtney Webb also helped secure the team’s win.

Volleyball looks ahead to new season

Triple digit heat does not stop Mustang fans, athletes

By JOSH YONIS

Contributing Writer jhonis@smu.edu

The SMU Volleyball team held their Red-Blue scrimmage Tuesday and Coach Lisa Seifert and her girls have a lot going for them.

The senior tri-captains, named earlier Tuesday afternoon, are Kelli Becerra, Sidney Stewart, and twotime All-American, Dana Powell.

Coach Seifert believes the Mustangs’ intensity is fueled by the success that her four seniors have built in their years on the squad.

Last season, the Mustangs finished with a 25-6 record, placing them second in Conference USA. The ladies were snubbed of a spot in the NCAA tournament, but look forward to changing that this season.

However, they do not have an easy road ahead of them.

Within the first two weeks of the season, they face three Top 25 teams.

The team’s home opener is Sept.

2 against TCU.

By ERICA PENUNURI Associate Sports Editor epenunuri@smu.edu

It’s one thing to battle the heat as you step into your car, that instantly transforms into a stifling sauna; or to endure the brutal walk to class that leaves you with the fresh-out-of-thegym look.

But, it takes another level of determination (and perhaps lunacy) to jump, dive, and sprint for 90 minutes on a sweltering 105-degree field.

This is the typical experience for the SMU Men’s Soccer team whenever a heat wave decides to make its way across Dallas.

They withstand two-a-days, and long practices, and this past weekend took on the Memphis Tigers at high noon on a 105-degree Wescott Field.

While the Mustangs were warming up to take on the Tigers, fans were finding ways to cool down.

So the question is; how do the players, coaches, and even fans beat the heat?

the heat waves that stretch across the fields and ask players, coaches and fans this same question.

“I’m carrying around my water bottle constantly and drinking all day,” SMU goalkeeper Jaime Ibarra said. “Mentally, it’s also about getting good sleep and staying positive.”

Particularly for a goalkeeper, the sun can be brutal, penetrating all of that gear.

That’s why preparation even comes down to making the right wardrobe decisions.

“You don’t want to wear a dark color, or black, because it attracts the sun and makes it even harder to play in,” Ibarra said.

The players aren’t the only ones taking a beating from the heat.

SMU Men’s Soccer Athletic Trainer, Drew Yoder, touches on how even the gear is affected.

“Whenever your losing a lot of fluids, your gear is going to soak up a lot of that, so obviously its going to get heavy so it’s just important to keep their energy high and play through it,” Yoder said.

However, SMU is provided with gear that can relieve players of the

oppressive heat factors.

“SMU is sponsored by Adidas,” SMU’s Athletic Public Relations Olivia Kiespert said. “The men’s soccer team uses Adidas’ ClimaCool line of clothing, which is lightweight and ventilated, and helps the players stay as cool and dry as possible in the Texas heat.”

While players find external relief from well-designed clothes, they also rely on a sports drink during and after games for internal rejuvenation.

“We use a sports drink called Pure Sports that’s high in sodium and protein and it replenishes their electrolytes more than the other drinks that are high in sugar,” Yoder said.

The heat not only affects the player’s mentality and physical state, but the structure of the game as well.

In SMU’s final exhibition game against the Memphis Tigers, officials decided to break the game into three 30-minute periods, rather than the typical two-halved game in efforts of relieving players of the heat.

Fans at the Memphis game shared their heat-beating tactics.

Freshman defender Dylan Schauder hydrates in between breaks during a morning training session.

“I don’t know how they [players] are dealing with it down there,” the mother of SMU goalkeeper Devin Cook, Michelle Perales said.

Although the heat maybe merciless, it does cultivate some favorable qualities.

“Playing in the heat is harder but it speeds up my training process,”

defender Diogo de Almeida said.

Whatever the unpredictable and extreme weather Dallas decides to bestow among the SMU community, rest assured your SMU men’s soccer will tread on towards victory.
