New mustangs Liberty, Justice join SMU family

By MEREDITH CARLTON Associate News Editor mcarlton@smu.edu

On Thursday Aug. 26, a small group of eager SMU students and faculty joined the football team to welcome Liberty and Justice officially into the SMU family.

Members of the Seminole Nation, a Native American tribe that began in the 18th century, blessed Liberty and Justice at the ceremony.

“The importance of the horse to us is a new beginning,” Travis Jackson Jr., a member of Seminole Nation, said.

“We became one with the mustang. You mustangs are warriors.”

When asked what it meant to have members of Seminole Nation present at the ceremony, June Jones, head coach of the SMU football team, said he believed it to be very powerful.

“The importance of the horse to us is a new beginning,” Jones said. Painting the mustangs was an “ancient ritual before war [for the Seminole Nation] and we are going into battle,” he said.

The two rescued and trained mustangs were given to SMU by Madeleine Pickens, founder of the non-profit organization Saving America’s Mustangs, during half

“WE DIDN’T INVENT THE CHICKEN; JUST THE CHICKEN SANDWICH,” is a slogan many people living in the U.S. might recognize, but few know what is truly behind the Chick-fil-A coperation.

On Wednesday, Aug. 25, over 200 curious SMU undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, friends and family gathered to hear Dan T. Cathy, president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A, speak in the James M. Collins Center about the company’s achievements.

SMU was the last stop in Cathy’s four-day trip where he spoke to various people regarding the secrets behind Chick-fil-A’s success.

Chick-fil-A began in 1946 when S. Truett Cathy, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Chickfil-A, opened a small restaurant in Hapeville, Ga. called “Dwarf Grill.”

Fewer than 20 years later, Cathy invented the chicken sandwich; by 1967, the first Chick-fil-A was open for business in the Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta.

Since then, Chick-fil-A has expanded to more than 1,400 locations and continues to grow each year. But what is their secret?

Cathy explained to his attentive audience that the secret to Chickfil-A’s success is in the saying, “If someone forced you to go one mile,

Senators called to get active this year Student body vice president and senate parliamentarian share their plans

By MEREDITH SHAMBURGER Senior Staff Writer mshamburge@smu.edu

If some student senators were planning to slack off during the upcoming year, they may want to reconsider.

Student Body Vice President Austin Prentice and Senate Parliamentarian Joseph Esau have both set goals to get senators actively involved in Student Senate.

“I’m hoping for a lot from [this year’s Student Senate],” Prentice said.

“In years past, they’ve kind of been let off the hook with mediocrity.”

Prentice wants to see each senator write at least one piece of legislation during the year.

Senators are not required to write any legislation, and many past senators did not write legislation during their tenure in office.

“I don’t expect [Senate] to be just a resume booster at all,” Prentice said.

“I expect you to actually put in, to help, to give input, to write legislation.

I really want to encourage senators to write legislation. I mean, that’s the most important part of Senate… getting a voice out there and getting a debate going.”

Esau said he wants to see senators “take initiative” this year instead of having Senate officers try to motivate

them.

“I would like to mentor them and teach them the motions and procedures of the Senate,” Esau wrote in an e-mail.

Student Body Secretary Katie Perkins wants to see more senators in the Student Senate’s SAMSA office.

“I don’t think people realize, like, I’m always in here,” she said, “and there’s a lot of people that come in here asking questions, looking for people, looking for answers, and a lot of time, there’s not somebody here to answer their questions. I think as senators, that’s our job–to be here and be able to answer those questions.”

Senators underwent training last Tuesday where senate officers laid out their expectations for the year.

The first Student Senate meeting will take place Aug. 31 in the HughesTrigg Forum at 3:30 p.m.

Prentice said he wants to “start on day one and hit the ground running.”

“My goal for the whole year is I don’t want anything to fall through the loopholes,” he said.

“I don’t want anything to be missed. I don’t want anyone to look back on anything and say ‘Well, shoot, we should have done that differently’ or ‘We were not prepared for that.’ So I’m really making sure that we, as a Senate, are ready for Senate.”

then go with him two miles,” from Matthew 5:41. To put another way, “2M2N,” meaning or, “Making the 2nd mile 2nd nature.”

“Consumers expect to get what they pay for [in the first mile],” Cathy said.

“But if you want to grow your business, you can’t just go the first mile.”

The first mile is about the customer and includes doing what you’re told to do and the transaction of the sale, Cathy said.

However, the second mile is about all people in general, having compassion, learning to obey impulses, doing what’s right and building a relationship with everyone who surrounds you.

Cathy gave a variety of examples that demonstrate Chick-fil-A “going the second mile,” from having fresh flowers on the tables in their restaurants to providing fresh ground pepper.

But when Cathy shouted out another second mile strategy for Chick-fil-A, having hand lotion in the men’s bathrooms, an enthusiastic audience member shouted, “That’s [the] third mile.”

Rachel Bledsoe, senior finance major who attended the lecture, felt the most important thing Cathy said was about the second mile.

“Cathy explained how greatness is achieved when you go the extra mile,” Bledsoe said.

“It was a really great idea because

Maggie, 9, Meredith’s daughter, said, “I think that the stand is good because the gulf is really bad right now.”

Though the lemonade stand was only held on Wednesday, those that come in to donate money to Rockfish’s efforts will receive lemonade with their meal, sponsored in part by Minute Maid. All donations will go to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.

WHITE: College Democrats urged to take back office CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Democrats meeting Wednesday night in Hughes-Trigg Atriums CD. White has taken time off from college to campaign around the state for her father who is engaged in a heated campaign against Gov. Rick Perry.

A democrat has not won a statewide office in Texas since 1994.

Wednesday’s meeting focused on this unusually competitive governor’s race in an effort to encourage students to campaign for Bill White, and eventually, let the Democrats take back the office.

“This is the first time in our adult lifetime… that this can happen,” White said.

“There’s a tendency sometimes to get complacent amongst democrats our age because you think you’ve never seen it before so why would it happen this time?

We can’t afford that this year. And

we can’t afford four more years of our current leadership.”

White spoke about the 2008 election and the effort to elect Barack Obama, and she urged students who voted in 2008 to get involved in this year’s election.

“We gotta make sure that people know that they individually have a stake in this election,” she said.

“Because a lot of younger people and a lot of older people got out and got mobilized in 2008. We gotta make sure that people don’t forget because this election really really really is about our future. We need to make sure that people take ownership of it.”

In addition to talking about getting students involved in the campaign process, White pitched reasons as to why her father was the best choice for governor.

White stressed the importance of education and how her father will work to improve education in Texas.

College Democrats President and junior David de la Fuente said he

thought White’s speech was great.

“I think she did a great job of really connecting with students,” he said, “…and really explaining how her father Bill is the best candidate for governor.”

Sophomore Pascual Pellegrino said he was surprised that a gubernatorial candidate’s daughter came to a meeting of a group as small as the College Democrats.

“The information was very plentiful, and at the same time, it was a little bit more motivational for a state that is mainly republican,” he said.

Pellegrino will obtain American citizenship in April, but he still plans on campaigning during the current election.

Freshman Jennifer Smith said she didn’t know anything about Bill White since she was from Oklahoma.

However, Wednesday’s meeting convinced her to learn more.

Smith plans to register to vote in Texas “as soon as possible.”

“From what his daughter said, it

sounds like he’s a really genuine guy,” she said. “He’s looking out for the betterment of his state.”

MUSTANGS: “a welcome addition” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

time at the SMU-Navy football game on Oct. 17, 2009. Many SMU athletes have called themselves Mustangs, but do they know where that name came from? According to Brad Sutton, associate athletic director and departmental spokesperson, the first few football teams to grace SMU were unofficially known as the Parsons, but after SMU won the state women’s basketball championship, many felt the athletic teams needed a proper mascot. In a pep rally on Oct. 17, 1917 the name Mustang was selected and has been the same ever since.

“The new mustangs have been a welcome addition at SMU,” Sutton said.

“Peruna represents a proud tradition, and the rescued mustangs have shown the rugged determination to survive and thrive, a fitting metaphor for Mustang athletics. Together, they will represent a spirited tradition at SMU which is enjoyed by students, parents, alumni and other Mustang fans.”

CJ Camerato, junior finance and economics major, believes “the names of our new mustangs are appropriate because they fall in line with the ideals of the university,” Camerato said.

Students like Camerato can look for Liberty and Justice alongside Peruna at future football games.

company culture of Chick-fil-A brought to campus

that idea applied to everyone in the room—from students to parents to business owners. That really is the biblical key to success.”

Another part of the second mile that Cathy did not boast about is the amount that Chick-fil-A gives back to their surrounding communities and staff members.

According to a Chick-fil-A brochure, its Leadership Scholarship Program has offered almost $23 million in financial assistance to 22,000 employees.

And through Truett Cathy’s WinShape Homes foster care program, they have helped more than 130 children find safe homes.

Although the company is a family business and now has three

generations working in management, all family members are required to work outside the business for two years before starting.

Also, because family is so valued in the company, all Chick-fil-A’s remain closed on Sundays.

They do this so that employees can take time off to spend with family and friends (and worship if they so desire).

Danielle DiCesare, senior management and Italian area studies double major, found the no work on Sunday idea to be refreshing.

“I knew the restaurant was closed on Sunday, but I had no idea why,” DiCesare said.

“After the presentation, I found the day off to be a really interesting part of the company culture.”

Chick-fil-A’s success can also be

attributed to their creative advertising campaign by The Richards Group, which is based in Dallas.

The ‘Eat Mor Chikin’ campaign began in 1995 and has stayed with the company ever since.

Megan Lee, junior advertising major and history minor, believes it is evident that the ‘Eat Mor Chikin’ campaign is a success.

“Every time I see cows, I can’t help but think of Chick-fil-A,” Lee said.

“A great ad campaign definitely helped contribute to their increased sales.”

According to a Chick-fil-A brochure, the company experienced a 12.17 percent increase in sales between 2007 and 2008.

Steady increases like this might account for the “too good to be true” statistic—in 18 months, Chick-fil-A

will be debt free.

Lee was upset, however, that more undergraduate students weren’t present.

“I feel very fortunate that SMU gives us this opportunity to meet with professionals,” Lee said.

“It was disappointing that there were so few undergraduate students there. SMU should try to advertise these events better to the student body.”

Although there were a small number of undergraduates, it was evident that the many who did attend took a lot from the event.

“He [Cathy] definitely inspired me,” Bledsoe said. “You don’t have to sell out to be great.”

Laborer attains a better life The story of a migrant agricultural worker and his family

By FRANCES REID Contributing Writer freid@smu.edu

Just off Keeneland Parkway between Dallas and Arlington, there is a quiet neighborhood with rows of neat houses with tidy, landscaped lawns.

In one of these houses, over a plate of homemade chorizo, tortillas and spicy salsa, 44-year-old Felipe Hernandez remembers when he first moved into the neighborhood 11 years earlier.

“There were a lot of white families, but then when more Spanish people and black people moved here they left,” he said. “Now there are only two white families in the neighborhood, and they keep to themselves. I don’t know what they think is going to happen.”

This pattern of ‘white flight’ has been taking place for decades in the United States, first during the migration of blacks into white suburbs and now during the new wave of Latin immigration.

There are almost monthly polls probing the collective psyche of America on immigration, and the results are always steadily split.

Historically when this nation has been at war, as it is now, Americans are less inclined to welcome outsiders.

While border security is a concern, U.S. natives are more and more opposed to immigration because they fear what that change will do to American culture at large.

In April, Arizona became the banner state for nativism by signing a bill making it legal for law enforcement personnel to request I.D. from suspected illegal immigrants and detain them without proof of legal residency.

This law set off countless protests from immigrants and sympathizers in the United States. However, a recent poll on Fox News showed that 59 percent of Americans are in favor of the law.

In 2009 the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit civil rights organization, reported that more than 324 active groups in the United States believe that immigrants are taking advantage of the United States’ free system and “brown washing” American culture.

Dennis Cordell, associate dean for general education and history professor at SMU, has done extensive research in immigrant communities in Dallas and France. He believes this nativism is unfounded.

“First of all, I think the basic premise that there’s a single American identity that’s been enduring for the last 200, 250 years…is a wrong one,” he said.

“If we asked people what it was to be American in 1790 [it would be] very different from what you get when you ask people today what it means to be an American.”

How does one define American culture?

On one July 4, Americans responded to MSNBC’s question, “What does America mean to you?”

The quotes below are just a sampling

of the responses: “It means so much freedom that I just can’t stand it”; “Being with my family and breathing fresh air”; “Equality is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen”; “Freedom, diversity, respect and tolerance”; “If you think things aren’t going right, you can stand up and say it.”

Not one individual mentioned specific physical cultural indicators like food, language, dress or religion.

“

Anywhere you

go, they see me as Mexican.

Felipe Hernandez

”

Felipe Hernandez now understands and shares these sentiments, though when he was younger his perception was different.

“My parents made that decision [to move to the U.S] for me. I didn’t.

When I was young, America was Rambo, movies and Las Vegas. I didn’t know,” he said.

He and his wife, Irma, grew up in the central-western Mexican state of Jalisco, one of the most developed states in terms of culture, economics and trade.

Hernandez’s hometown had huge street festivals on Mexico’s Independence day, when families stayed out late and danced all night to Mariachi bands.

Familial relationships were close knit, and life kept pace with the Pacific Ocean.

However, Hernandez’s family found it difficult to maintain the most basic standard of living.

“My grandpa was a farmer, and [when] my dad was younger he started his own business you know, he sold chickens and stuff like that,” Hernandez recalled.

“One day the chicken’s got sick, and he had borrowed some money to buy the chickens, but all the chickens died, and he had to pay [back] all the money,” he continued.

So one of his friends said, ‘You know what, let’s go to the United States. There is better opportunities.’

At that time they were giving visas, like a permit, to come to the United States to work in the fields for six months, and he came so he could pay all the money.”

In more prosperous times, America had always needed more workers to support agricultural industries, and many Mexicans were lured to the United States with the agricultural worker’s visa.

For six months out of the year, laborers could legally enter the United States and work in fields.

However, after one year, Hernandez’s father longed to do something that would allow him to use his hands without the back-

breaking labor. A friend in Texas told him about jobs working in air-conditioning repair, so when he finished his six-month stint at a farm in California, he left for Texas and stayed.

Not too long after he transitioned from a legal worker to an illegal immigrant, the U.S. government enacted Immigration Reform and the Control Act of 1986.

This reform granted amnesty to illegal immigrants who had been living in the U.S. continuously before January 1, 1986; through this bill, Hernandez’s father got permanent residency status.

When Hernandez was 11 years old, he moved to Texas with his father.

The rest of his family was in no rush to move to the United States. In fact, he recalls with laughter that his father moved him primarily because he was a trouble maker..

Living in the United States for 33 years, Hernandez, who is a proud American citizen—his citizenship certificate sits in a silver frame in the living room—feels that America represents opportunities for his family, especially for his two girls Irma,4, and Alexa ,8.

The girls, who busy themselves by putting together a My Little Pony puzzle in the living room, speak “Spanglish” at home and English everywhere else.

Hernandez would love for his girls to speak Spanish and English fluently but isn’t concerned that English is their primary language.

He is more concerned, like most American parents, with giving them every opportunity he can.

“I tell my daughters, ‘ Get good grades, you can be anything you want to be. You can get a loan from the bank to go to school and do anything.’

Where we come from, we don’t get those choices,” he said. “I’m trying to give my girls a better opportunity, a better life.”

Most illegal immigrants come to the United States to do just that – have a better life, escape poverty and the lack of general freedoms. This doesn’t sit well with some Americans who believe that the United States should enforce the law no matter the circumstances.

Paul Zoltan, an immigration lawyer and coordinator of the Dallas section of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, believes that mentality is what is wrong with the American understanding of the illegal immigrant experience.

“From a very narrow, moralistic standpoint, you can say they are all scofflaws, and whatever happens to them is reaping the harvest from the seeds they’ve sown,” he said.

“I just think that at some point you have to wonder how far we want to go to punish them. It’s almost like cathartic, to turn up the pain, to make them more and more uncomfortable, and less and less secure, knowing full damn well you’d have to dismember some of them before they’d go back; because what they want is work or basic physical safety,” he said.

Dr. Rick Halperin, director of SMU’s Human Rights Education Program also asserts that this argument goes against basic American principles and cultural history.

“It’s pretty paradoxical for a nation of immigrants and for a nation that was founded on people coming here for an idea based on enlightened thoughts of freedom, justice [and] opportunity,” he said.

He also points to what he believes is the root cause of this issue.

“The average American in my opinion doesn’t even follow these issues, they’re generically ignorant of [who] immigrants are, about global geography and world affairs as it plays out day-to-day from around the word. Most Americans couldn’t find three quarters of the world on a map,” Halperin said.

“I don’t have a very solid opinion of the average Americans concept of… human rights or civil rights in this country, we just don’t. There’s no national dialogue of this subject in this country,” he said.

Hernandez believes that freedom is the siren call of America, and that immigrants are not trying to force their cultures on the United States.

He said his family celebrates Mexican traditions during Christmas, but for the most part, they have absorbed an American way of life.

He agrees with Americans who say that immigrants should learn English and become acculturated.

Continuing to allow bilingualism only enables immigrants to cling to their native tongue.

“When you come here to the United States you have to force yourself, so when you put the signs in Spanish, they never do,” he said.

Even older immigrants like his father, who spent more time working to feed his family than going to school to learn English, have to try, he insists.

Zoltan says there are no truer believers of the American way of life than those who chose to be in this country.

“Our culture is a juggernaut.

Everywhere else in the world they’re worried about America subsuming their culture, and we sit here and we’re frightened that there are some signs on Davis written in Spanish,” Zolton said.

Hernandez doesn’t think that native-born Americans understand that immigrants just want to live a peaceful American life.

“I’ve seen a lot of racism before, you know; people would say ‘Hey, look at that Mexican.’ Now I can say, ‘You know what? I’m like you, I’m a human being in this country, too. We work double as hard to be here.’”

Even though he is legal, he complains that the media makes it seem as though all Mexicans are illegal and trying to overrun the country and superimpose their culture on Americans.

“Anywhere you go, they see me as Mexican. No matter how we do our hair, or how we look we’ll always be that person. They’re not going to see me like an American; they don’t see

EDITORIAL

Go mustangs and pony up!

COMMENTARY

For a young boy growing up in West Texas, few things got me more excited than a football game. Friday night promised excitement and was always the highlight of the week.

As I entered high school I had the privilege of playing for my hometown and never missed a game during my four years.

Although I lacked the physical talent to play on the collegiate level, my love football remained as strong as Jake Torres ever as I entered my first year on the hilltop.

Of my high school friends that went to college, most became members of the Aggie family, Longhorn nation or joined the Raider army. None of my friends however held a pride for their school that matched mine for the mighty Mustangs.

For those seniors that remember our first year on campus, the number one holds a very sad place in our memory. One represented the number of wins our football team earned that season, which seemed to stretch on and on throughout our fall semester.

Despite our team’s inability to record wins our Mustangs continued to compete and perform every week for their university. The number fans at each game slowly diminished, but the team continued to play with pride and never gave up.

I speak from experience because I didn’t miss a home game that entire season and even traveled to Houston and Fort Worth to watch the mustangs compete against two of our bitter rivals. Win or lose, we, the student body, knew we had a responsibility to support the football team composed of our friends and classmates.

The next year brought with it much anticipation about Mustang football. We had a new coach, who was known for reviving football programs and being able to record wins where other coaches could not.

The buzz around campus was that “June Cometh” and billboards across Dallas read that his “Run and Shoot is Locked and Loaded”. Not only did he come with a new offensive and defensive philosophy, he also brought with him a completely new mindset into the locker rooms.

But, with the exception of a win over Texas State in the opening game, the season looked the same as the last. Students began leaving games earlier and earlier or never even made it off the Boulevard.

People said that SMU football would never be successful and more and more people began to agree. Everyone except the football team seemed to accept the fact that losing would be the norm at SMU forever.

Then it happened.

As if someone had flipped a switch, the wins came and kept coming.

2009 saw the biggest turnaround in the nation as our 1-11 Mustangs became an 8-5 football team. All of a sudden those close games began ending with SMU on top instead of our normal narrow defeat.

One of my favorite memories at SMU will always be standing at Aloha stadium as the Mustangs hosted the triumphant trophy of the Aloha bowl. The players who had played with passion and heart were finally rewarded.

We seniors have one more season to watch the football team as undergraduates.

We will never forget the pain of two consecutive 1-11 seasons. Though painful seasons to watch, they did, however, give us the opportunity to fully appreciate the incredible feeling of a winning season.

This year the Mustangs are poised to be one of the best teams in our conference and even the nation. Regardless of whether they win 1 game or 12, be present at as many games as possible. Support your fellow classmates and validate the work that they began in spring practices.

Our football team is not made up of professional athletes that are paid to perform. They are students with lives outside of football, and they suffer through papers and finals just like you or me. Support them unconditionally; their passion for their sport and university never wavers neither should our support.

Baseball is back, better than ever STAFF

When I was just a nine-year-old boy, I breathlessly checked the newspaper every morning. It was the summer of 1998, and Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were chasing Roger Nathaniel French Maris’s single-season home run record. The question wasn’t whether they would break it.

The question was: Will it be today?

Both would go on to pass Maris’s 61, McGwire with 70, Sosa with 66. That summer of ’98 maintains a mythic pull on my imagination. Of all my childhood memories, none stands out like seeing those two sluggers do what didn’t seem possible.

This summer, I watched Alex Rodriguez hit his much-anticipated 600th home run.

This time, I felt no excitement. In the past 12 years, McGwire and Sosa had been tainted, dragging with them my childhood faith in the game. So had many other baseball greats.

McGwire admitted to using performanceenhancing drugs, and Sosa reportedly was doping too. Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and Manny Ramirez are among the other admitted or suspected steroids users.

Just last week, Roger Clemens, whom I once thought of as one of the greatest pitchers of his generation, was indicted for lying to Congress about his steroid use.

So in the summer of 2010, I checked the paper every morning to see if Rodriguez had done it.

Only this time, I turned to the sports section hoping nothing had happened.

Every home run Rodriguez hit was an insult to the men who’d hit 600 honestly. More than that, it was an insult to the nine-year-old who once took so much joy in the game.

When so many of your boyhood heroes turn out to be cheats and liars, it’s easy to stop believing in miracles.

But something else happened this summer. I found my faith in the game restored. Nothing major happened, but little by little I was reminded why I once believed that baseball is more than just a game.

I watched as first-base umpire Jim Joyce denied Armando Galarraga a perfect game by blowing a call with two outs in the ninth inning. Like many of Galarraga’s Tiger teammates, I cursed Joyce and

CARTOON

wondered who could make such a bone-headed call. But when Joyce sought him out to apologize, Galarraga gave him a hug and said, “Everybody’s human.”

I cheered for Derek Jeter when he appeared in his 11th career All-Star Game. Jeter’s athletic abilities are tremendous, but it’s his unsullied reputation as a team leader and human being that makes him one of history’s greatest athletes. Starting next to him on that All-Star field was Evan Longoria, who promises to take up Jeter’s mantle as baseball’s allaround star.

I went and saw my hometown team, the Tampa Bay Rays, challenge the Yankees’ dominance in the American League East. With only a fraction of the payroll, the Rays have remained within one game of the sport’s most star-studded franchise.

I banged on the seat in front of me when David Price took a hitter to an 0-2 count. I jeered the umpire when he ruled what looked like a home run foul. I joined in an impromptu chant of “Yankees

suck.” I ate two foot-long hot dogs in one game. I sat with my friends in full Rays gear, bonded by our mutual love for our team.

Every new revelation that a one-time star was taking steroids makes me sad. But I’ve stopped being cynical and angry. The dopers betrayed us, but we also betrayed them. We expected them to be supermen when, as Galarraga said, “Everybody’s human.”

Now their disgrace only makes the achievements of clean players like Jeter and Longoria look even more remarkable.

Baseball once made me believe that anything can happen. Then, it made me doubt whether anyone is honest. Now, as I think of Galarraga and Joyce, Jeter and Longoria, and as I watch my Rays battle for the pennant, I know the game is back, better than ever.

The best thing about baseball is that you’re never too old to be a kid again.

Do you believe in Liberty and Justice?

Many students oppose the naming of the SMU mustangs

The controversial naming of the SMU mustangs on Thursday, Aug. 26 has sparked antagonistic feelings in the student body.

The debate begun last academic year by the donation of the mustangs seems to have been incited again by the recent naming ceremony.

Instead of uniting the student body, the naming of the new mustangs has resulted in dissent for a variety of reasons.

While there are students like Mayela Trespalacios who are mostly ambivalent about the naming of the two mustangs, many others are

opposed.

Some, like Sofia Miro, state that they would have preferred “more festive names.”

Dedman II Senator Alex Ehmke wishes that “the mustangs had been given a name that is more unique to SMU.” Daniel Windham agrees.

They believe that “Liberty” and “Justice” are cliché names with no distinct relevance to SMU. President’s Scholar Daniel Lopez claims that the names “Liberty” and “Justice” are “tacky and unoriginal.”

He believes that the root cause

of the problem, however, is not the names. “This is clearly just an attempt to coerce students into accepting the mustangs as mascots,” he explains.

Peruna handler Chris Manthey could not agree more.

He strongly asserted his refusal to go to the ceremony, and he hopes others made the same choice.

He explained, “This is just another attempt to push these horses on the student body, to make them more accepted.”

Furthermore, he and fellow Peruna Handlers were incensed by the e-mail invitation to the naming

ceremony sent earlier this week to the entire SMU community. According to him, the issue is simple: “It’s not really SMU’s mascot. I hope people see what they are trying to do.”

Feelings in defense of Peruna, the university’s historic mascot, are strong as a result of the recent naming ceremony.

Whether the student body will accept the mustangs remains to be seen. Integrating them into the SMU community might turn out to be a more challenging endeavor than anticipated.

America ought to strive toward a more inclusive, informed culture COMMENTARY

American culture is animated by the idea of an “enemy”. For almost nine years, the main “threat” to democracy has been Muslim extremism.

However, American fixation on ideological enemies has marked most of our Drew Konow history.

During the middle part of the 20th century, the “Red Scare” and the fear of communist plots against the fundamentals of American society plagued the cultural psyche.

A culture in which most citizens could hardly locate Korea, Vietnam or Laos geographically suddenly became inundated with information suggesting that security in those countries was intimately linked with American security.

The enemy – communism – threatened the fabric of American values, and all Americans were obliged to go to any necessary means to protect their homeland from this ideological invasion.

Communism became an absolute enemy: an irredeemable, dangerous ideology that from its very core terrorized the absolute “truth” of America.

Hence, anything associated with communism – socialism, communal life, even social justice (a la Glen Beck) – was readily dismissed and feared.

Similarly, America currently touts the ideological

enemy of Muslim extremism.

Don’t get me wrong; I strongly disapprove of terrorism and of violent acts towards other human beings. Yet, I propose that American politics and culture are again blinded by its fixation on this ideological enemy.

On September 10, 2001, most Americans could hardly spell Afghanistan or Iraq, much less locate either of the two on a map.

Now, we have all come to agree that our so-called military success in these countries is indubitably tied to American national security. At least, the exorbitant amount of money we’ve spent in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars suggests that we think so.

Moreover, our manic obsession with the enemy has left a smeared imprint in the mind of the average person. Just like any ideology briefly related to communism was marked with a virtual bulls-eye, so too have we allowed our aversion to Muslim extremism to infect our opinion of Islam.

Intrinsic within the creation of an absolute cultural enemy is an infectiousness of such adversarial sentiments. The reality is that many American citizens and institutions unapologetically consider Islam a threat to American values. They do not distinguish Islamic extremism.

Sadly, many Americans don’t believe that all Muslims aren’t terrorists. In fact, one in five Americans thinks our president is a Muslim largely because his middle name is “Husein”.

Even religious freedom, a tenet so dear to

American history and the Constitution, is brushed aside when dealing with such an over-extended, polemic cultural enemy.

Most Americans think that there should not be a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero in New York City. Even SMU’s Tower Center and the SMU InterFaith Dialogue Student Association recommended that the building not be built or be relocated “if it causes polarization” and in order to “respect the strong feelings people have regarding this.”

Pardon me, liberty is not contingent on convenience or on comfort, and our Constitution has strong feelings about the freedom of religion. This addiction to subjecting our culture to adversarial fixation has caused us to lose sight of some of the true fundamental American values.

Furthermore, the broadening of Islam as a cultural enemy highlights the fundamental flaw in creating such enemies. This obsessive cultural fixation with the “enemy” is hardly ever based on actual experiences or relationships.

Of course, such an effort would require a degree of humility and trust. Not to mention, it would require that we relax our pointed fingers and allow our hands to be free: free to heal, to love and to share.

As I sat at a table inside the laid-back concert venue The Loft, the three girls sitting at the table next to me stood up and commented, “Well, I guess we’ll go play our set now,” and that’s how the night began.

Wednesday’s line-up included Sleep Over, Twin Sister and Memoryhouse all finds of the Dallas “Gorilla vs. Bear” blog and independent record label and all rising stars on the Indie scene.

The Austin-based Sleep Over opened the show with a series of songs and moving images on the screen that added to the almost psychedelic feel of the set, vaguely reminiscent of Ratatat.

While their lyrics seemed to get a little lost amongst the echo effects, the

Contributing Writer vcervantes@smu.edu

In the wild “everything knows its place,” says Detective Nathan Leckie to Joshua ‘J’ Cody, the teenage protagonist of “Animal Kingdom.”

This theme follows the characters of director David Michod’s Australia throughout the film.

J is a 17 year old, unexpectedly orphaned following his mother’s drug overdose. He is effectively thrust into a tale of self-discovery. On the surface a blank-slated, there-but-not-there fellow , J guides us on a brutal ride that is his life.

The town he inhabits, at least in Michôd’s Melbourne-based version, is a seedy underworld, where tensions are building between equally dangerous criminals and police.

Not that J, played by James Frecheville, is not a strapping young man that can’t hold his own. He — although he doesn’t realize it at first — is something much more interesting than his unlawful uncles.

At one point, while riding in a car with his speed-addicted, wild card of an uncle, Craig (Sullivan Stapleton), J pulls a gun on a feuding motorist at his uncle’s urging. The implications of the scene leaves an impression of what the film’s eventual outcome looks like.

J is unaware of the danger he puts his girlfriend (Laura Wheelwright) in by bringing her around his uncle Pope. Pope is a murderous sociopath, likely off his meds, hiding from a band of detectives that want nothing more than for him to be dead. Because of this, J is unable to predict what he’s in for.

When the cops turn the heat up things take a violent corner, J’s only way out of the family turmoil comes in the form of Leckie, a righteous detective played by the mustachesporting Guy Pierce.

Michôd, a celebrated short film filmmaker, has a knack for capturing real-life drama on a fictional set.

The palpability of “Animal Kingdom,” with its suggestive violence,

Animal Kingdom tells a gripping crime story.

embodies that certain severity unlike a Guy Ritchie, and sometimes Quentin Tarantino, cartoonish bloodbath.

Michôd understands that a single well-placed shot can cause more damage and have a greater effect than a complete unloading of an arms cache.

Because of that, the film excels in its realism, a credit as well to Director of photography, Adam Arkapaw, who calls it his love letter to Melbourne.

Frecheville, a first-timer on film, with his aloofness, is perfect for his on-screen counterpart. When the film opens he is sitting next to his mom who overdosed, almost as if can’t be bothered as he watches a game show, slack-jawed, waiting for the paramedics to arrive.

But the film is carried by the performances of Ben Mendelsohn and Jacki Weaver. As Pope, Mendelsohn is unnerving. He has the affectations of a horror film character, with the absence of shock and awe that currently dilutes the genre.

A real testament to Mendelsohn’s acting chops, Pope is the kind of guy that makes you want to whip out the Purell – should you have some – just being near him. And, as his mother,

keyboardist’s voice stood out amongst the noise.

Twin Sister, the second act, was my favorite set of the night. The lead singer had a very sultry voice that seemed to be a mix of Anya Marina and Zooey Deschanel, and the casual setting fit perfectly with their easy-going sound.

Twin Sister was much more upbeat than Sleep Over, but still maintained that same chill vibe.

Memoryhouse, a Canadian band that has become pretty popular since their EP’s release earlier this year, all night there were murmurs that Memoryhouse is absolutely phenomenal, but sadly their show failed to prove this.

They opened with their most well known song, “Lately,” and the female vocalist’s voice blew the audience away.

The song was written beautifully, with touching lyrics and a mellow sound.

Unfortunately, they did not even get through the second chorus before their guitarist stopped the music and launched his first complaint of the night about the technical issues they were having on stage.

This was not an isolated event.

While the band kept telling us that they were real musicians and could play their music acoustically, but they ended up only completing a handful of songs, marring the rest with a series of complaints and excuses. Memoryhouse ended their set early, partially because after only four songs the crowd had dwindled down to a handful of people.

I think the band’s keyboardist described their show best when he commented, “This is like a bad karaoke night.”

Smurf, Weaver is ever-doting and controlling of both family and film.

Like a mother lion, Smurf will sooner commit infanticide than allow her entire pride to perish.

In the end, I suppose being so far away from the predictable Hollywood crime drama has benefitted “Animal Kingdom.”

The film moves little faster than a tortoise, but when things get hairy, it’s as startling as a jolt from your seat - something a fan of film can appreciate.

“Animal Kingdom” opens today in selected theaters, including the Angelika, in Mockingbird Station.

MENS SOCCER

Mustangs conclude preseason with a win

BY JORDAN JENNINGS Sports Editor jjennings@smu.edu

SMU men’s soccer won their final pre-season exhibition game Wednesday morning against University of Central Arkansas.

Despite rainy weather, the Mustangs were able to shutout UCA 2-0. Both goals were scored by freshmen.

“The team has really good chemistry for this early in the season; the younger guys are meshing really well with the older guys,” head coach Tim McClements said. “It’s nice for them to get their first points, and it will be even better if they can do that on Wednesday in the season opener.”

Freshman recruit and midfielder Zach Barnes scored the first goal from the outside with 20 minutes left in the first half after receiving an assist from teammate Juan Castillo.

Castillo later scored the team’s second goal within minutes of the start second half.

“It was good to finally get one in because it’s our second game playing with the new team, so it’s good to establish who we are,” Barnes said on his first goal with the Mustangs.

Barnes, ranked as the No. 7 recruit in the nation, was Gatorade Player of the Year for Texas and was a high school All-American. Castillo was named second team All-American in high school. They are among several freshmen to join the team this year.

Many key players return this season after recovering from surgery and injuries last year. McClements allowed several players to sit out the spring season in order to recover.

Previously injured players such as defenders Leone Cruz, Diogo de Almeida and Brandon Pfluger return healthy and ready to face this year’s competition this fall.

Senior captain and goalkeeper, Craig Hill, underwent surgery in the spring, but showed full signs of recovery during Wednesday’s game.

Hill has played 30 games for the Mustangs, including 10 shutouts.

This summer, he trained with FC Dallas.

“I’m feeling great and ready to go,” Hill told the Daily Campus.

“We have a great group this year and high expectations. I think we will do really well.”

The Mustangs will open the season facing off against the Missouri State Bears on Sept. 1 at Westcott Field.

Last season, Missouri State defeated SMU 3-1.

However, the Bears recently lost to New Mexico 1-0 in an exhibition match on Aug. 22. Their exhibition games end Friday, a few days before they travel to Dallas to play SMU. “We are taking games one game at a time. The most important thing to us is that we get better everyday, and if we do that then good things will happen with this group,” McClements said on the upcoming season.

Following the Mustang’s first game, SMU will host an Invitational Sept. 4-6. Seattle, Lipscomb and Tulsa are all expected to attend.

INTRAMURALS

UPCOMING GAMES

Athletics opens intramurals registration, begins new fines for forfeits

BY TRAVIS TALARIC

Sports contributing writer ttalaric@smu.edu

Even though the school year at SMU is only nearing the end of its first week, the intramural season is already upon us.

Registration for soccer, golf, sand volleyball and 3-on-3 basketball began Aug. 26 and will end on Sept. 2.

New to SMU intramurals this year will be a $25 fee for either missing a captain’s meeting or forfeiting games due to no-shows.

“The hope is that by instituting a fee, we will have far less teams not

show up for their games,” SMU’s Assistant Director of Intramurals Jack Harper said.

Every team will be required to leave a credit card on file when registering, which will be charged for any absences throughout the season.

Joe Gaasbeck, a junior at SMU, is a frequent participant in SMU intramurals and believes this new policy will encourage students to take participation in intramurals seriously.

“I’m looking forward to the new credit card policy because too many teams forfeited games last year,” Gaasbeck said.

Harper claims that last year, either one or both teams did not show up to at 25 percent of games, causing these games to be forfeited.

But to make up for the fees that will be implemented this year, registration costs for SMU’s most popular intramural sports will be reduced from $50 to $30 per team.

This price reduction will affect soccer, flag football, volleyball, softball, basketball and indoor soccer.

In addition to the new pricing changes, Harper promises that this year’s officiating will continue

improving from previous years, and he encourages any students interested in officiating to come to the introductory clinics, which are held before each intramural season begins.

The last new addition to intramurals this year will be the new intramural champion t-shirts, which will be modeled after tuxedos.

“We’re trying to keep intramurals classy this year,” Harper said.
