AP Briefs World Ukraine– Ukraine’s president said Wednesday that Vladimir Putin accepts the principles of a peace plan for Ukraine but the Russian leader insisted that only Kiev can reach a cease-fire deal with the pro-Moscow separatists “This is not our business,” Putin said of any cease-fire plan. “This is Ukraine’s business.”

This year marked the fifth year for the One28 snowball fight. Students enjoyed throwing thousands of snowballs at their friends and classmates during the warm August night.
‘Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow’ SMU students battle in One28 snowball fight
DEMETRIO TENIENTE Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu campbell flemmons Associate Online Editor cflemmons@smu.edu Students gathered on Dallas Hall lawn Tuesday night for some cool fun in the August heat at One28’s Snowball Fight. The dodgeball-style game began at 8 p.m. with 7,000 snowballs from Bahama Bucks for 10 teams. Bahama Bucks is a Shaved Ice Company in North Dallas. “They would shave the ice and then form them into snowballs,” event planner Adam Tarnow said.
“Then they would put like 60 of them into a cooler and so we have 117 coolers of snowballs in the [refrigerator] truck.” Two years ago safety became an issue as there was no way to keep the snowballs cold. “Two years ago, we didn’t have a refrigerator truck so [the snowballs] got icy and turned into ice balls and people got a lot of injuries,” junior Gloria Yi said. “This year we are having them sign a waiver that is really more like a warning to just be careful.” One28 volunteers warned students to be smart and not hit their friends in the head. Each participant was also
fitted with protective eyewear. The game consisted of several four-minute fights between teams where students attempted to hit the opposing team with snowballs. The team with the most players left on Dallas Hall lawn at the end of the four-minute fight won. “We are just going to have a blast out here playing dodge ball with some snow,” Tarnow said before the snowball fights began. “This will be the fourth time we do it – we didn’t do it last year and I think that was a big mistake.” According to Tarnow, many students missed the fight last year and asked for its return.
One28 worked hard to put on this quick and fun event. “We started [planning] last semester, so it’s been months that we’ve been doing this,” Yi said. “A lot goes into it. We had to get in touch with SMU, and there is a lot of red tape with getting Dallas Hall lawn and just getting this approved in general. I mean, this is snowballs in the middle of August.” One28’s hard work definitely paid off. Over 300 students arrived excited for the night. “I just want to bash my friends with some snowballs, that’s all I want,” sophomore James Jang said.
PARKING
“I’m really excited to see snow in Texas because it rarely happens,” sophomore and One28 student-leader Alex Silhanek said. The students enjoyed themselves while learning more about One28. “As Jesus said, ‘Let him who sin throw the first snowball,” first-year Viay Ramesh said. According to this fight, every student sinned.

‘Mo’ parking, Mo’ problems’ Students locked out Parking issues not resolved
christina cox Managing Editor clcox@smu.edu The completion of the Residential Commons created one looming question in students’ minds: where are these 1,200 additional residents going to park? The university’s solution was the construction of the Mustang Parking Center. The resident-only parking structure opened along with the five new dorms in August. “It will help accommodate parking for most of the new residents who now live on campus rather than commute to campus,” said Director of ID Card Services Mark Rhodes and Associate Vice President for Campus Services Julie Wiksten. The Mustang Parking Center is unique in that it is the only residentonly parking garage on campus. It has space for 800 vehicles. In addition to the Mustang Parking Center, students may park in the Airline, Binkely, Meadows, Moody and Daniel Parking Centers. SMU also expanded the commuter lot to hold an additional 240 vehicles. However, many students are concerned that these additions will
not ease the troubles with parking on campus. “I’m glad they added parking, but they need to add more convenient parking locations,” senior Rebecca Keay said. “There aren’t enough spots for people going to class and going to the gym.” With the abundance of ongoing construction on campus, the increase in convenience of parking will not occur soon. “There will be approximately 80 fewer resident parking spaces in the South Quad lot due to construction of the pedestrian mall and there will be no parking around Peyton Parkway during demolition of the old Memorial Health Center and construction of the new Dr. Bob Smith Memorial Health Center,” Rhodes said. According to Rhodes, faculty spots will also be misplaced for about 30 days during the construction of the new Harold Simmons building and Ford Research Center. During this time, employees will park in the expanded commuter lot along University Boulevard and Airline Road. Parking along sorority row will also decrease with the construction of the Delta Gamma house.

Students can ride the Mustang Express to and from SMU campus.
Students have their own ideas on how to solve the continuing problems with parking on campus. “In the parking garages there is way too much staff parking,” junior Becca Zivin said. “They need to look at the ratio of staff to students and figure out what’s appropriate.” “Maybe people could try parking on the Boulevard,” Keay said. Rhodes and Wiksten believe public transportation could be a solution. “We encourage the use of alternative transportation by providing students with annual DART transit passes for a onetime charge of only $5,” Rhodes said. “We also operate the 768
SMU Express and 743 Museum Express shuttles.” Changes to the two routes effective Monday decreased service time from Mockingbird Station to Bishop Boulevard from 20 minutes to 10 minutes.

Monday marked the first day of class at SMU and also the first real test of the new student ID cards. Outfitted with a microchip that eliminates the need for a room key, the new red and blue cards open room and outer doors in the new Residential Commons. Monday, a card access issue locked students in the Ware, Crum, Armstrong and Kathy Crow Commons out of their rooms. As a result, many students, including a number of first year students, were late or missed class. “I could get into the building, but when I tried to use the card to get in the dorm it didn’t work,” junior Hannah Williams said. “I can see how it could stress the freshmen out on the first day
of school.” By the afternoon, the problem was resolved. “It’s understandable that with the new dorms that there will be some issues” Williams said. Late yesterday evening, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul Ludden told teachers in an email that this tardy and absence would not count against the students. According to the email, the Office of Information Technology was working to prevent further lockouts. The Daily Campus has reached out to the OIT for comment and will update this story with their statement accordingly.

Correction: In the Monday, Aug 25, story in The Daily Campus headlined “‘Who let the dogs out?’ FiRs give residence halls new mascots,” residence hall staff members and dog owners Katie Bell, Tiffany Richardson and Krystal Jones were incorrectly identified as student leaders. Bell, Richardson and Jones are Residential Community Directors — full-time staff members living in each community. Students are not allowed to have dogs in their residence halls, per the Residence Life & Student Housing Community Standards. The Daily Campus regrets any confusion caused by this error.

Altuzarra Brings The good, the bad and the ugly of the Sexy Back at Target Emmys Awards red carpet fashion Meredith Carey Desk Editor mbcarey@smu.edu For years, savvy shoppers have been skipping out of Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus to purchase their designer goods at a better price, a Target price. Now, Target is pairing with Altuzarra for limited-edition collection of women’s ready-towear and accessories for the fall. The New York brand, launched in 2008, is known for its shoes, thigh-high skirt slits, and sexy, modern riffs of classic button-ups. In 2014, the creative director and founder Joseph Altuzarra took home the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. Launching on September 14, the Target collection mixes reptile prints, ruby reds and classic lines for layer-heavy fall looks. “As a designer, I believe firmly in the transformative power of fashion. It has the ability to not only change how you look, but also how you feel,” Altuzarra said in a press release.
“I’ve admired the elegance that Target brings to fast fashion. By working together on this capsule collection, we hope to instill a sense of power, confidence and beauty in women everywhere.” Known for partnering expensive brands like Phillip Lim and Missoni to offer inexpensive but stylish designs, Target is selling the Altuzarra line at an equally reasonable price. The line includes almost 50 items, with prices ranging from $17.99 to $89.99 for apparel, lingerie, shoes and accessories. Featuring largely businessappropriate attire, with high necks and knee-length skirts, the Altuzarra line is much more sophisticated than previous exclusive Target partnerships.

Monday was not just the first day of classes. It was also television’s biggest award night of the year. All the stars came out, fingers crossed in hopes that they’d walk home with one of the coveted statues. Fan favorites ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Breaking Bad’ walked away happy with their award sweep. Even our very own Meadows School alumna Kathy Bates walked away a winner. Even bigger than the show and the people in it was the fashion of the red carpet. There were those who played it safe and those who dressed to impress. ‘Masters of Sex’ star Lizzy Caplan channeled old Hollywood in her sophisticated and stunning black and white Donna Karan Atelier gown. My favorite of the night, though, was Gwen Stefani’s Swarovski Versace sleek silver skirt and shirt combo with a plunging caged neckline. Unfortunately, not all chose as wisely as Stefani did. Bless Lena Dunham’s heart, but her Giambattista Valli dress--if one can call it that-was nothing shy of a tragedy. And Katherine Heigl, the fact that the gown was a vintage John Hayles didn’t make it any less horrendous.

Ode to the Smile That smile, her smile, lives forever in a picture. Once it blessed my days like the sun lights a morning. Now it haunts my nights like a shadow tormenting the guilty. A constant reminder of what I once had, what I once held. More than a gesture; a familiar touch. A promise. Such a simple thing; a smile. One gives it so willingly to strangers. At what point does it become more? Hanan Esaili/THE DAILY CAMPUS
Sir Sly left audience members in a hazy trance when the band returned to Dallas on Monday at Club Dada in Deep Ellum.
Sir Sly slunk into Deep Ellum Monday Hanan Esaili Publishing Editor hesaili@smu.edu Streets empty, clubs deserted, restaurant joints struggling to bring in customers. Monday nights in Deep Ellum are a stark contrast from the weekends. But magic seemed to be in the air, and it led to Club Dada. Sir Sly, an American Indie Pop band, took a dimly lit stage and faced an intimate crowd of 175 people. An up-and-coming band based in Los Angeles, California, Sir Sly set a mysterious and dark tone with their stage and lighting setup. Although their stage was dark, their music was ethereal and transported the audience to a different place. The band, signed by Interscope Records-a division of Universal Music Group, kicked off their
North American Tour in Dallas co-headlining with Wolf Gang. Lead singer Landon Jacobs opened the show by expressing his love for Dallas to the crowd - and they loved him back. Cheers of “We love you!” spouted from around the audience and Jacobs shouted back every time, “We love you, too!” “It’s really, really good to be back [in Dallas]. We’ve been wanting to come back for a while,” Jacobs said. Having only been on the music scene for a couple of years, Sir Sly does an excellent job of sounding exactly like they do on recorded tracks. From their hit ‘Gold’, which was featured in a Cadillac commercial and an Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag ad, to their unearthly version of ‘Marvin’s Room’ by Drake, Sir Sly can rock out with the best or chill out with the hipsters.
Dallas native Rebecca Mohri came out to the show looking for new music to enjoy. “I like concerts and checking out different bands and great music,” Mohri said. Stephanie Borden, also a Dallas native, came out for both Sir Sly and Wolf Gang. “They always put on a good show. This is my third time seeing [Sir Sly], and each time is different and with different bands,” Borden said. During their hour-long set, Sir Sly rapped and belted out long, high-pitched notes that not even the youngest girls could hit. The vocals on Landon Jacobs are amazing, not to mention his affinity for all types of instruments. Jacobs switched instruments multiple times during the show and rocked every one of them.

of Music is Our Weapon, went to the show on a whim. “They’ve actually been on my Spotify for eight months,” Miller said. “The beauty of Indie Rock/ Pop is you can see this band in the UK and here in Dallas, but it’ll still be the same [type of] crowd. That’s also the beauty of technology: music is becoming global. And when they show up in your backyard, why not support local music?” Monday’s show was like a private rock concert and even those who don’t enjoy Indie Rock or Pop would enjoy Sir Sly.

The parting of lips. the flashing of teeth and I was the string around her finger. A wrinkled nose divides the stars above that smile. How I lived for those stars. But alas, a broken heart and now the smile reverts; It’s given to a stranger. That promise is gone. But not forgotten. For the sun rises on a new day. Another stands before me with a smile. That smile. Always, that smile. By Demetrio Teniente

‘Syllabus week’ does not exist christina cox Managing Editor clcox@smu.edu When students return in the fall, they look forward to the first week of school because of the lack of homework and surplus of social events. It is a time to reconnect with friends, stay out late every night and slowly transition back into academic life at SMU. This first week is treasured by every student on this campus; it has even taken on its own name: “syllabus week.” And it is a complete myth. “Syllabus week” does not exist. It is an idea invented and accepted by students looking for an excuse to ignore work all week long. I myself am guilty of this, believing
the notion that I cannot possibly have homework or reading during my first days back on campus, secretly aware of all that I have to do. Want to go out even though you have excess amounts of reading due tomorrow? Go for it - it’s “syllabus week.” Feel like ignoring Blackboard and watching Netflix instead? Why not? “Syllabus week.” Missed your first class because you felt like sleeping in? No worries! It’s “syllabus week.” This time has turned into an excuse to ignore coursework and act irresponsibly. I have heard countless students lamenting about the amount of work they already have during the first week back. Friends of mine are stressed out and it’s
only the third day. Today I saw someone having an anxiety attack while looking at her semester-ata-glance. Despite all of this, the student body still accepts “syllabus week” as truth. Maybe the only people who truly have no work during the first few days of the semester are first-years because they just arrived on campus less than a week ago. The rest of us do not have that luxury. Professors expect more of us and, frankly, we should expect more of ourselves as well. Yes, it is OK to spend time with friends or take some time to relax, but it is also just as important to start out the semester strong and not fall behind in classes.

Actors pose as construction men shouting empowering statements to women for the Snicker Australia advertisement.
Why catcalling isn’t a compliment olivia nguyen Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu On YouTube, Snickers Australia launched a campaign video promoting their candy bar in an unconventional way. Construction builders holler at women walking down the street, but instead of catcalling, the men yell empowering statements such as “I’d like to show you…the respect you deserve” and “a woman’s place, is wherever she chooses.” The advertisement seemed to work in efforts to promote equality and feminism; however, the video quickly went south within the last few seconds as prominent white text overlay in the video stated “you’re not you when you’re hungry.” The ideology behind the advertisement refers to the fact that catcalling has become the norm. Although the video takes place in Australia, catcalling has become a form of sexual harassment that women all over the world can relate to. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual
harassment is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. The topics of sexual harassment and catcalling are relevant, especially at SMU, since there were seven cases of sexual assault reported within the last year and one case of sexual assault since the beginning of this year according to the SMU Office of Police and Risk Management. While most people would not file a crime alert if they were catcalled, this form of sexual harassment occurs daily for women. Although there are no recent studies to be found, in 2008, Holly Kearl conducted a randomized survey of 225 women in the U.S. and reported that 98% of respondents have experienced street harassment multiple times in their lives, and 30% are harassed regularly. And despite the progression of equality for gays and minorities in today’s society, women still struggle. As a woman, I find it disturbing that being harassed frequently is normal. I turn red when I hear a band of guys hollering or whistling. I feel
uneasy walking by myself. I get anxiety seeing men check out other women and comment maliciously, knowing I’ll be next. And I empathize with the other women I see who get catcalled and watch as their faces get apprehensive. Now I’m not saying that I don’t like compliments or that I’m disgusted by any man who wants to say hello on the street. I don’t like being called anyone’s “baby,” “honey” or “girl”- especially if we’ve never met. I don’t like hearing “take it off ” or “goddamn, look at you.” I’m just trying to go about my way. Comments that are meant to be positive can be that way if they are said properly. Although the intention may come from a good place, the way slang is used to converse with women nowadays comes off as offensive and degrading. It doesn’t take much effort to turn a perverted smirk into an innocent smile, or to turn a dirty comment into a greeting. Not only would it brighten someone’s day, but maybe that girl will end up talking to you instead of power walking away.
If one were to quickly skim SMU, they would probably notice the following: well-dressed individuals wearing preppy clothing. Within these giant masses of people, however, there are a handful of individuals who have a different style. While their fashion taste may not stretch too far from the norm, flashes of ink can be noticed on their bodies. Stereotypically, tattoos have a negative connotation. For many, images of gangsters, convicts or badass musicians come to mind. This categorization of tattooed people has persisted over time, especially in the South, since traditionally southern gentlemen or women would never permanently mark their bodies. But times are changing. Walk downtown in any metropolitan city, like Dallas, and you can find normal, wellmannered civilians sporting ink. The once-taboo concept of tattoos has transformed into literal body art. As tattoos become more popular, vulgar words tatted across knuckles have now become meticulous drawings on the inside of fingers. Provocative sketches of women on men’s arms have become tribal print sleeves. And the infamous butterfly tramp stamp has become extinct. The connotation of tattoos
has shifted, now holding a more positive and deeper value than it once had before. Senior Jacqueline Suhenda, who has two tattoos, feels strongly about them because they hold sentimental meaning. “One of my tattoos is a quote saying ‘blood, sweat, but never tears.’ It pretty much describes myself; I’d rather go through hard times and persevere rather than breaking down and crying about it,” Suhenda said. Sophomore Ashley Davis is also passionate about her tattoo she wanted it to be symbolic. “I have Luke 6:35 tattooed on me; it’s my favorite Bible verse. I’m Catholic, so my faith means a lot to me. It reminds me to stay true to myself and to be tolerant and love everyone,” Davis said. Tattooed individuals aren’t the only ones who understand there’s an intention for each tattoo. Noninked people have also come around. Sophomore Kenn Phaxay admits he used to interpret tattoos negatively until a few years ago. “If I see someone who’s covered in tattoos I just think the person is very liberal and committed to their choices,” Phaxay said. Now he believes body art has become a societal standard and even though he would never get a tattoo, he is accepting of others interests. “I look at them and learn the meaning of a tattoo to the particular person; it really is an art.”
Although Phaxay has changed his viewpoint, not everyone agrees that permanent ink is a good idea. But for the tatted individuals, they seem to stand by their choices. “I don’t care what other people think about my tattoos. In general, SMU has a certain look, but you don’t have to conform to that if it’s not what you like,” Suhenda said. Junior Tien Dang says that people such as faculty and staff may judge tattoos, but students are usually very open and excited to hear and talk about them. “They’re always great talking points. I think with the way society is evolving, tattoos are becoming more accepted,” Dang stated. At the end of the day, tattoos are a personal preference. Some find tattoos aesthetically pleasing while others don’t. Some may even like tattoos but physically can’t handle the pain of getting one. They aren’t for everyone. But when contemplating whether to deal with the needle or not, most tattooed individuals will tell you to never be impulsive. Dang said “Some people do make rash decisions and regret their tattoos. My huge thing is thinking long and hard about what you want and where you want it. It’s become a form of self expression that when [it’s] done right [it] can be beautiful.”

SMU Volleyball is back at it after finishing second in the American Athletic Conference last season. The Mustangs have been voted the preseason favorite for the 2014 season, which seems to be bright. The Mustangs return five all-confernce selections this year. Returning is conference Setter of the Year, sophomore Avery Acker, sophomore. She was also named AVCA AllAmerican Honorable Mention after finishing the year averaging 11.21 assists per set, with 1,199. Followed by Acker is Caroline Young, who started 29 of 31 matches last season, playing all 112 sets and recording 383 kills. Juniors Abbey Bybel, Cailin Bula and sophomore Janelle Giordano will also be returning.
Team Captains this season, Young and Acker, are familiar to the position as they served as team captains last season. They showed off their leadership skills last season leading the team 22-9 and earned the respect from their teammates to be voted for again this season. Starting this year, aside from all of the awards and excitement the team will have its own training room as well as a new locker room. And perhaps the best of all, the Mustangs have an opportunity to contribute to Moody Magic as they begin this season in Moody Coliseum. Last season the Mustangs played in Deadman Center, due to the coliseum renovations. Acker, Young, Bula and Giordano were all voted to the all-American preseason team and will start the season off with the rest of the team this weekend in San Francisco.
SMU plays host San Francisco on Friday at 8:30 p.m. and Georgia and Fordham on Saturday.
Team USA SMU’s Janelle Giordano, middle blocker, was selected to the USA Volleyball Collegiate National Team in a tour of Europe this summer.

They played in the Global challenge and had the chance to play against the Croatian National Team in an exhibition match. The tour was July 8-19.

Women’s Basketball roster gains sisters, twins from Australia Of the five women who signed letters of intent to play women’s basketball at SMU, two had national team experience. They happen to be not only sisters, but twins. “I am elated with the signing of this year’s class,” Head Coach Rhonda Rompola said. The 6-foot-2-inch and 6-foot3-inch forward and guard, Alicia and Keely Froling, are coming in from Australia as the No. 1 and No. 3 ranked players. They both represented Australia at the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championships in Amsterdam. At age 16, Alicia, guard/forward, went on to help Australia take home the bronze medal in the 2013 FIBA U19 World

Track team pours water on Head Coach Dave Wollman after winning outdoor championship.
“I was not satisfied with my overall season.” Perez said. “It’s funny, because I do not see my last season as my best season.” Perez also won the indoor conference title in the shot put in the 2012 season. “I may be disappointed regarding some of my performances, but as a whole the work the work I put in paid off.” Perez said. Now, with track season over, cross country season is underway. Winning the American Athletic Conference Cross Country championship in its inaugural season in 2013 wasn’t enough for the Mustangs. They went on to win the AAC Indoor and Outdoor championship in the spring, better known as the track and field triple crown. The Mustangs open this season
at the Bear Twilight Invitational, Hosted by Baylor, where they also opened in the 2013 season and placed second. The team is older this season with several returning runners who have the ability to make an impact. At the Bear Twilight Invitational last year Agnes Sjöström and Tova Magnusson, now sophomores, paced the Mustangs coming in third and fourth at their first collegiate meet. The Mustangs head to Waco Friday and will compete in Texas for the Gerald Richey Invitational at Texas-Arlington on Aug. 13.

After winning the first outdoor American Athletic Conference championship for SMU track and field in May, some Mustangs continued to compete throughout the summer. “What I am most proud of is our conference championships,” track athlete Helena Perez said. “As a senior I wanted to be a part of SMU’s shining moments.” In June at the NCAA Championships, Tova Magnusson and Lucija Cvitanovic competed and finished strong. Magnusson placed 12th in the finals of the 3,000-meter steeplechase and Cvitanovic took 17th in the heptathalon. “A very emotional season has finally come to an end,” Dave Wollman, SMU Director of Track and Field, said. “Both girls competed with all their heart and I’m very proud of them.” Cvitanovic went on to represent Croatia after the NCAA Championships, placing fifth in the European cup in multi-events in Maderia, Portugal. She had the top time in the 800-meter run, with a time of 2:17.62. Cvitanovic took second in the javelin, throwing 47.53. After two days of competition she finished with 5,388 points. At the AAC outdoor championship she shined enough to be named the Most Outstanding Field Performer, after winning the heptathlon with 5,345 points, and the javelin throwing 50.63 meters. This summer Perez, now a graduate, received the AAC Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence award. “I would say it’s almost hard to believe I won this award,” Perez said. “I am of course honored for the award and be all the glory to God.” Perez helped lead the Mustangs to the outdoor championship winning the hammer throw with a throw of 61.22 meters and placing third in shot put throwing 15.97 meters.
