SMU demolishes Natatorium
BURLESON PARK Saturday, construction will begin on Burleson Park, known in the SMU lexicon as Sorority Park. Renovations include new lighting and turf. Sixty parking spots at the east and west sides of the park will be unavailable until January.
AUP PARKING LOT Spots in the All-University Parking Lot will be marked off and barricaded Tuesday for asphalt repairs and patching work. The lot on the east side of the Expressway Tower will remain open during the repairs. Additional parking will be available in the alternative AUP Parking Lot on SMU Boulevard and on the rooftop level of the Everest College building garage.
Tennis Complex Construction continues on the corner of North Central Expressway and Mockingbird Lane. When finished, the complex will included indoor and outdoor courts and a club area.

Perkins Natatorium said goodbye to the SMU campus Tuesday as construction crews demolished the 55-yearold swimming complex. Adding to the list of projects on campus, the Natatorium will be replaced by more modern competition pools. Demolition crews will move to the SMU Health Center Sept. 1 to begin construction on the new Dr. Bob Smith Health Center. These renovations will join Burleson Park in current construction projects that are affecting parking and student mobility throughout campus. According to the SMU Office of Planning, Design and Construction, traffic will increase on Bishop Boulevard and Binkley Avenue during the hours of 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Due to the construction of the new Health Center, parking in the North Quad, outside of Shuttles Commons, will be unavailable until the center is completed in late 2014. Luckily, no streets have been closed as of yet, but the loss of parking spaces is a hit to the campus, now that an estimated 3,650 students are living on campus. STUDENT LIFE
Association of Black Students Respond to Ferguson Meredith Carey Assignments Desk Editor mbcarey@smu.edu Nearly three weeks ago, a policeman in Ferguson, Mo. fatally shot unarmed African American teen Michael “Mike” Brown. In the aftermath, Ferguson citizens and protesters from around the country rose up against police brutality and racial discrimination, including Rev. Al Sharpton. As the weeks have passed, police have used excessive force and have arrested reporters and protesters throughout the St. Louis suburb. Little has been resolved. With some saying Brown had
his hands up at the time of his death, over 100 Howard University students gathered to take a photo with their hands raised two weeks ago. Tweeted by junior Megan Sims, the photo quickly went viral, with over 14,000 retweets. Earlier this week, the SMU Association of Black Students and National Pan-Hellenic Council staged a photo of their own at the Big Chill, marking their first public statement in support of Brown. The photograph was supplemented by a video, in which participants chanted, “Hands up. Don’t shoot.” “The people shown in the photo are in full support of the peaceful
protests happening in Ferguson and throughout the country to bring justice to Michael Brown. For years, black people have been disproportionately targeted and profiled by law enforcement officials,” said ABS Political Action Chair Tyrell Russel, who organized the photograph. “In a system that claims ‘liberty and justice for all’, discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated. Black lives are valuable.”

ATHLETICS
‘I’ve got the magic in me’
SMU creates Quidditch team, partners with UT Arlington claire Kelley Chief Copy Editor News Writer cakelley@smu.edu Quaffles, bludgers, broomsticks and the golden snitch. These are no longer vocabulary words used exclusively by inhabitants of the wizarding world. SMU is starting its own Quidditch team, so these terms might be slipping into on-campus conversations soon. The team had its first meeting in The Varsity at 7 p.m. Wednesday, led by senior Lizzie Wilson with the help of Tyler Jewell, a member of Texas
Tech University’s Quidditch team. After a brief explanation of the game’s rules, the 13 students present scheduled practices for Sunday and Wednesday afternoons. “What happens if you get hit with a bludger when you’re holding the quaffle?” “You can’t cuss. That’s a rule.” “What about [using] British curse words?” “A beater can’t hold two bludgers at a time.” These and more peculiar questions and statements circled the room during the meeting, but all were settled and the group seemed
enthusiastic for its first practice, which is scheduled for Labor Day. They plan to partner with the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to form a larger team. The interest meeting for UTA will be held Friday at 7 p.m. in the University Center. Wilson, an environmental engineering and French double major, discovered her love for the game this summer, after offering to drive a friend’s brother to his Quidditch practices in Arlington. She later joined the Arlington community team and found familiarity in it.
“I used to play volleyball and soccer and team sports,” Wilson said. “It reminded me of all that and I felt at home.” Wilson competed in tournaments like the Bluebonnet Cup and the Southwest Fantasy Tournament. She enjoys the strong sense of community at Quidditch competitions, and was surprised to see about 300 players attending each. “My team ended up winning the whole [Southwest] tournament,” Wilson said. “It was so intense and so fun. That really solidified my love for Quidditch.” Quidditch is a competitive
contact sport featured in the Harry Potter novels and films. The game used to be a figment of fans’ imaginations, but Muggle (non-magical people) Quidditch was made a reality in 2005, four years after the release of the first Harry Potter movie and eight years after the release of the first novel. Senior Belem Perez-Delafuente has been a long-time fan of the Harry Potter series and said she’s read all seven novels three or four times each. So, she was excited to learn about the creation of an SMU team. “I grew up being a Harry Potter fan,” Perez-Delafuente said. “I heard
that other schools had teams and I didn’t know SMU was forming one, so that was pretty cool.” Wilson encourages skeptics to watch some videos of Muggle Quidditch, and swears it’s a real contact sport. For more information, visit SMU Quidditch’s Facebook page or email them at dfwquidditch@gmail.com.

FRIDAY n AUGUST 29, 2014 renovation
Mac’s Place renovation gives menu and space a makeover emily heft Food Editor eheft@smu.edu Mac’s Place has a new look, and a new menu to boot. The market/restaurant was renovated for the 2014 school year. It now boasts an outdoor patio, a bigger indoor space featuring an expansive grill, and more shelves than before, stocked with everything a dorm resident could need, from toilet paper to apples to Chips Ahoy. The new health-conscious feel is apparent. A bakery corner features loaves of wheat bread and a farmer’s market style fruit stand. Instead of milkshakes, a Jamba Juice smoothie station whirls two real-fruit flavors nearby. Students are raving about this
healthier Mac’s Place. “My favorite part is all the snacks they have now. They even have healthy [ones] you can put into bags and pay by weight, like at Trader Joe’s,” said sophomore Tara Kezic,. The dried fruit, pretzels, and other quick choices stand tall near the entrance in barrel-like quantities. “All my friends love it,” said Kezic. Gone are the days of the grill tickets where students would circle their burger toppings; the hot entrees, from Greek burgers to make-your-own pizzas, are customordered on touch screens. “It’s very sleek and organized,” said Kezic. Even first-year students, who don’t remember the old offerings, are excited to sample the new ones. “I haven’t tried everything, so

I’m trying the pizza for the first time,” said first-year Dustin Turner. The Mac’s Place beloved originals are still available, from the iconic white boxes of pepperoni pizzas, to the premade sandwiches, soups, wraps, celery and peanut butter cups. “My favorite thing to get at Mac’s Place is sushi or one of the wraps because they’re a healthy option when I’m looking for a quick meal,” said first-year Katy Mounsey. “[I like that] it’s open late at night so I can go down and get a snack if I’m up studying.” Though Mac’s Place still resides in the hub of freshmen activity, the customers range in age. Resident directors, faculty and staff alike arrived in groups, chatting in the lounge-like atmosphere. “We get a lot of athletes in here [too],” said Gerald Sye, a Mac’s Place employee. The proximity to the Lloyd All-Sports Center and Dedman Athletic Center might be a main factor, but Sye noted the popularity of the new healthy choices as a reason too. “We sell a lot of water,” said Sye, laughing. “Oh, and sushi. They like their sushi.”
Fruit and drink options are now healthier.

Mustangs rebound from rough first half Patrick Engel Contributing Writer pengel@smu.edu The SMU football team opens its 2014 season on the road against 10th-ranked Baylor in prime-time on Aug. 31. Playing a road game in Waco is a daunting task on its own, but playing in the first ever game at McLane Stadium will provide an extra challenge for the Mustangs. A sell-out crowd that will make a lot of noise will be in attendance, but SMU Head Coach June Jones has made some adjustments in anticipation of it. “We’ve been going on the silent snap count,” Jones said. “We’ve been giving signals and preparing for it. Those first couple series, those first couple drives, you really find out how you practiced because you can’t say anything, and everything’s got to be signaled.” Baylor Head Coach Art Briles has been looking forward to the stadium’s opening for a long time, and Briles believes McLane is as nice as any venue in the country. “We’ve had about as good of atmosphere as you can have,” Baylor Head Coach Art Briles said at media day earlier this week. “I have no doubt [McLane’s atmosphere] will be phenomenal. I think it’s going to be hard for anyone in the USA to mimic what we got going on. They’ve given us the best, so we’ve got to take advantage of what they’ve given us.” Senior quarterback Heisman hopeful Bryce Petty conrols Baylor’s offense, which led the nation in

The last time SMU faced Baylor was September 2, 2012, when the Bears defeated the Mustangs 59-24 for SMU’s season opener.
2013 with 619 yards per game and 52.4 points per game. The Bears rode the offense to an 11-1 record, a Big 12 title and a Fiesta Bowl berth. Petty says the offense will be better this year, but he is not taking the Mustangs lightly. “They’re really good. They’re extremely well-coached,” Petty said about SMU’s defense. “They’ve got a lot of good players. It’s easy to overlook things, especially with the distractions we’ve got going on
(with the stadium), but it’s about playing football, and we’ve got to make sure we’re on our game.” In addition to Petty, Baylor returns two other offensive stars: wide receiver Antwan Goodley and running back Shock Linwood. Goodley caught 13 of Petty’s 32 passing touchdowns and is regarded as one of the nation’s best receivers. Linwood will be the feature back after rushing for 881 yards in limited time as a freshman. On offense, the key for SMU is
Women’s Soccer
After a grueling two game road trip that saw the Mustangs fall to Nebraska (4-0) and Kansas (3-0), SMU looks to capture its first ‘W’ of the 2014 season when it hosts Texas Southern and Missouri this weekend. SMU has never faced Texas Southern before, so the women have an opportunity to start the all-time series on the right foot with a win. This is only the second season that Texas Southern has had a women’s soccer program. In its inaugural season, Texas Southern posted a 3-12-0 record, defeating only Alcorn State, Miisissippi Valley State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Even though it is only the Lady Tigers’ second season, they are already breaking in their second head coach – 2014 is Kathryn Sanders first season at the helm for Texas Southern. It is a weekend of firsts for SMU as Sunday’s match against Missouri is also the first ever meeting between the two programs. Missouri will present a much tougher challenge than Texas Southern as it is more experienced. The Tigers have eight starters returning this season. In 2013 those eight played on a team that finished 8-9-3. Missouri finished ninth in the Southeastern conference with a conference record of 4-4-3. Missouri already has a couple of games under its belt after opening up its season at the Penn State Invitational last weekend. The Tigers tied Syracuse 0-0 after playing two overtimes in its opening match. Missouri then fell to 3-2 to No.10 West Virginia in its second match.
2013 and failed to reach a bowl game for the first time since 2008. The Mustangs are breaking in many new starters, including quarterback Neal Burcham, who started two games last year when Garrett Gilbert was injured. Kevin Pope, who was SMU’s secondleading tackler, is now the top running back. SMU has dropped 10 straight games to Baylor, most recently 5924 in 2012. But all-time, the series is tied at 36-36-7, including an 18-
18-3 mark in Waco. SMU last beat Baylor in 1986 when the two teams were Southwest Conference rivals. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. Prediction: Baylor 52, SMU 24

sustaining drives and controlling the clock to keep Baylor’s offense on the sideline. The defense will need to create turnovers early in the game and play physical against Baylor’s talented receivers to keep the game close. “The main thing is playing physical, getting aligned and communicating,” said SMU safety Shakiel Randolph. “I feel like if we play bend-but-don’t-break defense, we’ll be okay.” SMU posted a 5-7 record in

Apparently, Missouri is pleased with the performance of its women’s soccer program over two decades; this will be head coach Bryan Blitz’s 19th year as the head coach for the Tigers. Both Texas Southern and Missouri will test the Mustangs resolve as they try to figure out their situation in goal. The Mustangs have only two goalies on their roster, senior Lauryn Bodden and junior Shannon Maroney, but both are sidelined with injures for the foreseeable future. On Tuesday, SMU Athletics issued an email on behalf of the women’s team calling for under-grads with experience playing goalie. So far, there has been no announcement whether a replacement keeper has been found. Friday’s match against Texas Southern and Sunday’s match against Missouri will both kickoff at 7 p.m. on Westcott Field. What you need to know about the 2014 Mustangs: Prior to the kickoff of the 2014 season, the American Athletic Conference predicted SMU to finish fifth in the the conference. Last season, SMU finished eighth in the AAC in 2013 with a 3-5-1 conference record. Two first-years, Claire Oates and Vanessa Valadez, tallied points in SMU’s exhibition match against Oklahoma State. Oates scored a second half goal, while Valadez recorded an assist on Kelsey Gorney’s goal.

SMU Football partners with Unequal Technologies Courtney madden Sports Editor Courtneym@smu.edu SMU Athletics announced its multi-year partnership with Unequal Technologies on Aug. 26. SMU is the first Division I football team in the NCAA to partner with Unequal. “There is no question Unequal is the right partner for us,” SMU Head Coach June Jones said. “You can’t win if your players are in the training room, and as a coach or administrator, you’re not doing everything you can to keep your student-athletes healthy unless you’re using the most advanced protection available.” Unequal Technologies is the leading provider of supplemental protection technology, providing thousands of professional, collegiate and youth athletes of all sports and even soldiers. “Unequal is the best thing that has come along for contact sports,” Jones said. Unequal offers the Gyro, a helmet liner with Kevlar and Accelleron, putting athletes at a lower risk for concussions. The Kevlar and Accelleron in the padding goes above and beyond by absorbing and dispensing impact better than any other protection of its kind. Kevlar and Accellleron are layers within the protection. Unequal describes Kevlar as a patented fiber, often used in law enforcement and the military, when woven its strength is comparable to steel. Unequal describes the strength as virtually unmatched. Accelleron is described as a durable cushion, with shock absorption capability. “We admire SMU’s commitment to keeping their

Unequal offers the a helmet liner with Kevlar and Accelleron putting athletes at a lower risk for concussions. student-athletes safe on the field of play and are excited to have them as a partner,” Unequal CEO Rob Vito said. Unequal is also providing body protection gear featuring the Invincible top, Viper girdle, along with custom padding for shoulders, hips, thighs, knees and ribs. “The Mustangs and Coach Jones are thought leaders in college athletics and recognize the need for the best protective gear available to their players,” Vito said. They have captured the attention and contributed to protecting athletes in the NFL, NHL, MLB and the X Games. Joe Haden, Cleveland Browns All-Pro defensive back, signed a multiyear endorsement agreement with Unequal Technologies on July 15 and chose to wear Unequal’s gear through training camp, preseason and the 2014 NFL regular season.
“I’m very selective in the products I associate with and am always looking out for the latest innovations in technology,” Haden told the Business Journals. “Concussions are a serious issue in football today.” Haden chose Unequal for its light weight and flexibility, but the main reason was to protect himself from serious injury now and serious consequences in the future. “With Unequal in my helmet and on my body, I’m wearing the best protective gear available and have the confidence to go out and compete at the highest level with less fear of injury,” Haden said. “I want to do everything I can to be healthy when I leave the game, so I put Unequal in my helmet. No question.” Unequal seems to provide the best of both worlds and Coach Jones is confident in his decision.
“Unequal is the best thing that has come along for contact sports,” Jones said. “We look forward to not only using Unequal’s protective sports gear but to working with the team at Unequal to continue to make their products better and to spread awareness to every college and league across the country.” You can watch some of the Mustangs in full action in their Unequal Technologies gear in their season opener against Baylor on Sunday. “We see Unequal giving the Mustangs an added edge in competition this fall,” Vito said. “And look forward to working with the athletic department, student-athletes, alumni and Mustang fans for many years.”

John Bordano: The Band-Aid Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu Coming into SMU’s summer training camp, there was a battle brewing for the second inside linebacker spot opposite Johnathan Yenga. Most members of the media saw it as a three-man race between Nick Horton, and transfers Cameron Nwosu and Caleb Tuiasosopo. So, no one expected for John Bordano to be the guy in that spot when SMU takes on Baylor on Sunday, but he is. Horton was the starter for the first half of camp, when he went down with an injury, Bordano leap-frogged Nwosu and Tuiasosopo into the starting lineup. “[Horton] went down and he is still working on his injury,” Bordano said. “I think he still may be able to play [this week], but we are just going to prepare like I’m going to start- I mean that’s what I’ve been doing all camp. [Defensive coordinator Tom Mason’s] done a great job of getting me ready, I’ve been going in and watching film with him so I feel really comfortable.” Stepping into the starting lineup is not something new to Bordano, whose career at SMU has been as somewhat of a human Band-Aid. Anytime someone got hurt, Bordano was one Mason’s first choices to plug the whole. “That was my job last year- to step in when someone gets hurt and just to be mentally prepared,” Bordano said. “I think having that under my belt helped me step up [during camp] and I’m looking forward to seeing where things go.” Bordano joined the Mustangs in 2010 and was redshirted. He didn’t see significant game time until 2013, when he played in all 12 games- making nine tackles (seven unassisted), recovering a fumble and breaking up a pass. The ability of Bordano to step up and take the place of a starter is a testament not only to Bordano’s talent, but to the depth Mason has to work with on defense. “Some of our two are just as good as our ones and that’s just how it goes,” Bordano said. “But only 11 can play and the best 11 will. So when somebody gets hurt we got to step up and make sure there is no drop off and that’s nice to have.” Filling in for an injured player and having to play in a big game, is the a close equivalent of being the sixth man in basketball. You don’t get to warm up like the starters and you don’t see as much practice time either. “It’s just being mentally prepared,” Bordano said. “Always going over the game plan, always knowing what we have implemented for this week, knowing our checks

and who we are preparing for.” One of the reason’s Mason feels comfortable plugging in Bordano is that he embraces the Mason’s defensive philosophies, like the importance of ‘next play.’ “We always talk about next play,” Bordano said. “You can’t change what happened the play before. If you dwell on that last play then you will mess up on the next one and the next one. So basically, it is just clearing your mind and focusing on what your job is and executing it.” Bordano had a chance to see the impact of the ‘next play’ mindset when he was part of the SMU defense in 2012 that posted two shutouts, tied an NCAA season record for pick-sixes and tied for third in the country in total takeaways. Creating turnovers has been heavily stressed by Mason this summer. “Whenever we do get that first turnover, we have to build off of that,” Bordano said. “Like one time in practice we had like eight turnovers and you could tell that after each one we got more and more excited and by the end of practice it was unbelievable nobody was tired and that’s what we are looking for- that excitement and to build off of everything.” Bordano and the defense will have their work cut out for them on Sunday. It is one thing to force turnovers in practice, but its another thing to do it on a big stage. “I’m excited- it’s going to be fun going down there and trying to get a big upset in their first game in that stadium,” Bordano said. “We are already deep into the game plan and we know what we are going to do, now it’s just fine tuning it. It will definitely be an awesome crowd and I’m looking forward to it.”

SMU Basketball announces American Athletic Conference schedule Courtney madden Sports Editor Courtneym@smu.edu What better way to end the first week of school than with some Moody Magic news? SMU Men’s Basketball announced its American Athletic Conference 2014-2015 schedule on Thursday. There will be 18 home games at Moody and 18 conference games will be nationally televised. “The television schedule is a reflection of the quality of the basketball teams in The American,” Head Coach Larry Brown said. We have a chance to play great teams in great environment. There are a lot of great opportunities to continue to elevate our program.” The Mustangs set a record last year going 18-1 at home and broke its season record for attendance, selling out nine of 13 games, in the renovated Moody Coliseum. The new season attendance record was set at 107,412, averaging 5,653 fans per home game. That was an increase of 2,210 over the previous season. They earned the No.1 seed in the NIT then on to the title at Madison Square Garden in New York. SMU played in its third NIT and first national tournament final. “We would have introductions last year and I would look (associate head coach) Tim Jankovich and say, ‘What the hell are we doing here?’ You know, if you said anything on the sideline, everybody heard it,” Coach Brown said in April. “But now, we are a

He gained respect from not only the team, but the student body. For the first time in a long time students were camping out in hope for tickets to the upcoming game.

In July the Mustangs were named the Best Sports Team in Dallas by D Magazine. And to top it all off SMU was ranked in the AP Poll for the first time since the 1984-85 season. “I thought it would be next year before we would get in the top 25 and have kind of a national presence, so far as I’m concerned, we’re running a year ahead,” SMU President R. Gerald Turner told USA today in April. SMU Basketball hopes to have a great season again this year and continue to play the right way.
The Mustangs opens this season against Lamar at Moody Coliseum on Nov. 14 at 8:30 p.m., hoping to bring more Moody Magic to the Coliseum. “I’m just hopeful that this carries over to all the sports,” Brown told The Washington Post. “There’s a different sense of pride in the school.”

The Mustangs tragically lost their teammate Hannah Catherine Moss on March 18. In what seemed like a devastating blow to the team, the team rallied around each other through orange shirts that read, ”when it hurts most, laugh,” as well as through various social media posts. The women’s track and field team was on a mission the rest of the season and it showed with its incredible work ethic and passion for each and every meet. The remarkable season was capped off with an outdoor conference championship that left the Mustangs with a triple crown in victories over the previous year. The Mustangs won the 2013 Cross Country title last fall, followed by the 2014 AAC Indoor Championship, but the season was topped off with

Hey Mustang fans! The Daily Campus will be introducing you to first-year athletes throughout this semester. First, we bring you Rachel Greiner, firstyear volleyball outside hitter, from Boise, Idaho. Greiner attended Bishop Kelly High School where she was captain and received All-4A Southern Idaho Conference First Team her senior year. She was also announced state player of the week in Oct. of 2013 and led the team in kills. Making the transition from high school sports to collegiate can be difficult, but Greiner is making the adjustment. “High school is way different than college. The pace is much faster and there are more things we do, Greiner said. “We practice longer, workout harder, and have a lot of non physical things we do, like have meetings and team bonding activities.” She explains how living with people on your team makes everyone closer, making for better on court chemistry. The biggest change has been the competition and the entire team working hard. “In high school there are two seasons and two teams you play with; your school and your club, so it will be very different to always stay with the same girls,” Greiner said. It wasn’t only volleyball that brought Greiner to SMU. When she came to visit she loved the coaches, the team and the

beautiful campus. Outside of volleyball Greiner enjoys snowboarding, hanging out with friends, watching movies and traveling. Don’t be surprised if you catch her moving her ears, one of her interesting talents and try not to get your wrist too close to her face. “I’m super grossed out by wrists,” Greiner said. If you see her on campus make sure to welcome her! You can watch her in action for her first home game as a Mustang on Sept. 9 against Georgia Tech at 7 p.m.

the 2014 AAC Conference Outdoor Championship. The cross country team was able to advance to Nationals with its second place finish at the South Central Regional Championships. The goal this year, to get right back to t hat spot. “Having placed second last year and making it to Nationals, it is again the experience of our returns that are going to have a huge impact on this outcome,” Cross Country Graduate Assistant Caitlin Keen said.
“Making it to Nationals for the second year in a row is on everyone’s minds.” The goal first and foremost, however is to win conference first in route to once again reaching Nationals. “Having won Conference last year and for five out of the past six years, I can tell you that the teams first goal to accomplish together is to win again,“ Keen said. Although a season removed from their three championships, this team will
continue to keep Moss in its thoughts and remember the inspiration and impact that she made to this team. The cross country team opens its season in Waco, Texas on Friday for the Bear Twilight Invitational at 7 p.m.

SMU opens 2014 on the road against No. 10 Michigan State Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu
SMU P ICK S
The Mustangs will get their regular season started with a twogame road trip this weekend. First up for SMU is No.10 Michigan State on Friday. This will be the first all-time meeting between SMU and Michigan State. However, it should be noted that the Mustangs are 29-64 all-time in season openers. Michigan State ended 2013 with a 2-1 loss to eventual NCAA champs Notre Dame in the elite eight of the National Tournament. The Spartans 3-2-1 conference record landed them the three seed in the Big Ten Tournament, where they made it to the championship round only to fall to Indiana. Michigan State finished 2013 with an overall record of 14-6-3. The Spartans also return leading scorer Tim Kruetz and stud keeper Zach Bennet, who started all 23 matches for Michigan State in goal. After battling it out with Michigan State in East Lansing, SMU will travel over to Ann Arbor to face off against Michigan. It will be the first match ever between SMU and the Michigan Wolverines.
Michigan received votes in the NSCAA preseason poll after ending 2013 with a 8-7-3 record and being eliminated in the first round of The Big Ten Tournament. The Wolverines return two big scorers in James Murphy and TJ VanSlooten. Michigan also returns goalkeeper Adam Grinwis. So far in 2014, Michigan has played one exhibition match- a 1-0 loss to Louisville. What you need to know about the 2014 Mustangs: Seniors Damian Rosales and Andrew Morales and junior Jacob Speed were named to College Sports Madness All-American Athletic Conference Preseason Teams on Aug. 13. Rosales, who was honored as a first-team selection, was a unanimous All-American Athletic Conference preseason selection a season ago and started all 17 matches for the Mustangs. In 2013, he was tied for second on the team in assists, and he enters the 2014 season with 56 appearances in an SMU uniform, the most of any current Mustang. Second-team selection Morales, who is in his third season on the Hilltop, led SMU in goals and total points in 2013. The Rocky Mount, North Carolina, native played in all

keepers combined for just over 223 minutes of scoreless action. SMU outshot its opponents 3725 in preseason action, including a 14-8 advantage in shots on goal. The American Athletic Conference announced the 2014 men’s soccer preseason poll and the SMU men’s soccer team was picked
to finish sixth in the Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Mustangs return 12 letter winners from the 2013 squad. SMU welcome 10 studentathletes to the Hilltop for the 2014 season, including a pair of transfers who enrolled during the spring semester.
The 2014 fall enrollees include seven true first-year and a junior transfer.

Meadows vs Cox: We’re not as different as you think Madeline boudreaux A&E Editor mboudreaux@smu.edu

Women embrace their bodies as they promote anti-body shaming.
Stop body shaming: learning to love yourself olivia nguyen Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu A common sighting on campus is girls wearing their Lululemons as they head to class or the gym. Many are a size 0, wearing a perfectly tight enough racerback tanks with their crops. There’s no doubt that SMU girls have a reputation for being beautiful. Stereotypically affluent, blonde and ambitious, the female population has upheld this image for over 100 years. But as perfect as people may seem, there is always something that they are self-conscious about; it’s what makes even the most immaculate individuals human. And with the amount of pressure it is to be thin and pretty at SMU, it seems like body shaming commonly occurs among females. Body shaming, as defined by the organization No Body Shame, is when overly self conscious thoughts about your body affect your physical and mental health. Body shaming can be obsessing with what’s in front of you when looking in the mirror. It can be self-deprecating because
you feel ashamed that you don’t look like that girl at the gym. Or it can be silently hating yourself for not having a consistently healthy diet. These self-destructing thoughts can lead to eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating. It could also result in restrictive dieting and depression (according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). While these disorders are different, the Mayo Clinic stated they share similar symptoms of a negative or distorted self image, intense fear of gaining weight and a preoccupation with food. The symptoms gradually occur, starting with a few self-conscious thoughts that lead up to regularly body shaming and in the worst case scenario eating disorders. A New Year’s resolution to stay fit all year can slowly turn into obsessive behavior, always having to go to the gym, count calories or recording measurements. The fine line that exists between having a healthy lifestyle and actively body shaming or having disordered eating is in the minute details. According to National Eating
Disorders, in order to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle, one must have dedication to persist through workouts and eating habits, along with a strong willed personality to be able to handle negative thoughts that may arise. The difference between someone with a healthy and fit body and someone who’s malnourished is the mindset. It’s hard to stay on track with working out while maintaining good grades, a social life and mental health. Trying to uphold a perfect image and having it all figured out won’t happen overnight. Adjusting to finding the best workout for your body, how to handle school and going out is a trial and error process--it’s okay to make mistakes and slip up. Whether it’s eating a red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles when it wasn’t your cheat day or making one bad test grade, these small errors do not shape us; it’s how we handle the defeat that makes us who we are.
When the weekend comes, students from both sides of the Boulevard know what to do More than just the Boulevard divides Meadows School of the Arts and Cox School of Business. But students in both of these schools do seem to have at least one thing in common: they both like to party. Most “typical” Meadows kids don’t go to Cox kids’ parties, and vice versa. This one does, however. And while there are some aesthetic differences between these parties, they have more in common than you might think. Before I say anything else, I must admit that I have absolutely no empirical evidence to go off of in writing this article—only my opinion. So, it’s a good thing this is in the Opinion section. I’ll highlight some obvious differences between Meadows and Cox kids, and then I’ll go into what unites them, based on my experience. But first, some definitions: by “Meadows kid,” I mean a non-Greek student of the arts. By “Cox kid,” I mean a Greekaffiliated student in business, finance or a STEM major in Lyle or Dedman. I’m sorry if you don’t fall into either of these
categories—I know many of you don’t. But, I’m using them to illustrate a point, because they are common stereotypes on our campus. Many of you are probably skeptical of the claims I’m making in this article, so let’s go ahead and address some obvious differences between these two groups of students. In general, they have different ideas of party attire, and their events happen at different types of places. David Yurman can be found lurking in hazy Meadows apartments about as often as thrift-store overalls appear on the dance floor at Avenu. These lines become blurred at themed parties, however. Many “Cox kid” date dashes unknowingly feature the Meadows look—especially those pertaining to music festivals or the 80s. Likewise, I’ve been to a “Meadows kid” party with a formal theme. I wore one of my actual formal dresses. Many other factors unite Meadows and Cox kids when it comes to weekend activities. General party supplies are the same: cheap liquor, cheap wine, cheap beer—unless it’s a small group or a special occasion. Freshmen drink their nerves away and sometimes overdo it. Drinking games are played with equally competitive ferocity in both places. At both types of party, single
people do their best not to remain that way. Music is played too loudly. Noise complaints are received. Outfits are envied. Gossip is spread. Canes is craved, and sometimes attained with the help of Über. New friendships are formed, old ones, strengthened. Laughs, shared. Drinks, spilled. Hearts, filled. While specifics such as type of music, brand of clothing, location of apartment, and bar of choice may differ, the essentials of what people do at parties are universal. It’s actually pretty easy to switch from one crowd to the other (especially if you’re coming from a bohemian-themed party to one of your artist friends’ apartments). And the benefits of experiencing both include a more open heart and mind, a more loving campus, and a lot more friends. Some seniors may recall from their freshmen days a certain house down University, near Love Field, where five members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity lived and where they threw their parties. Today, four years later, five Meadows seniors have moved into the same house. Some of them attended those parties when they were freshmen, too. Now, they continue the tradition.

Anyone can catcallit’s the normalcy of the situation that should be evaluated, not stereotyping people who do.

How to deal with communal bathrooms Olivia nguyen Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu If you’re one of the unlucky underclassmen that have to live in a communal dorm, you’ll be faced with the adversity of having no privacy. You’ll most likely have a roommate, sharing your personal space with a stranger. You’ll be going to parties, being one of the many people crammed into a fraternity’s off-campus house or bar, and you’ll be one of many students enrolled in some sort of introduction class in Dallas Hall. With the few moments of alone time that are possible in college, it’s aggravating when you spend those ten golden minutes showering singing your heart out and you hear a loud door bust open as someone enters the stall next to you to urinate. A part of me dies inside every time it happens. It’s human nature to have to do your metabolic processes in order to maintain homeostasis, but there’s only so many times I can walk into a restroom that’s occupied when I’m in dire need of a shower or stall. Moreover, if you want to take a shower, it has to be planned in advanced. You have to figure out what times the least amount of people will also be showering, and you have to pack your shower caddy and toiletry bag accordingly. After you’ve gathered all your things, you strip down to your robe or towel to run down the hall to your destination.

But most importantly, never forget your ID card, or you’ll be that kid on your floor mostly naked and wet, shivering like a chihuahua until your residential advisor unlocks your door for you. As much as it is a pain to live with a communal bathroom, there are a few perks. The bathrooms are always clean. The SMU cleaning staff never fails to put new shower curtains and make the stalls and sinks look new every morning. You meet new people. Whether you want to or not, you’ll be running into people as you go in and out of the bathroom. There’s small talk while both of you wash your hands and wait for the hand dryer. There’s the silent head nod that occurs when you’re leaving and someone enters. And the most notorious encounter is when you’re fresh out of the shower looking like a newborn baby being swaddled and someone happens to observe this lovely sight. These moments shape your underclassmen years in college. Living in a communal dorm may lack privacy, but you learn to compensate. It’s one of those necessary college experiences that when you’re forty-something and reminiscing on your college days as you prepare your future children for theirs, you’ll look back on that time you were wearing your bathrobe, retainer and glasses as your cute neighbor walked by and laugh.

New shows on the radar: What to watch now david hamner News Staff Writer dhamner@smu.edu With summer coming to an end, September will usher in a new fall season of primetime television. Here are six picks for new shows to keep an eye on. “A to Z” (NBC): If you found the finale of “How I Met Your Mother” to be abrupt and wished you’d gotten to see a bit more of the relationship with The Mother before she was – SPOILER ALERT – so unceremoniously killed off on a writers’ whim, “A to Z” may be the show for you. In a sitcom that seems to blend HIMYM’s story of destiny and romance with a relationship narrative reminiscent of “500 Days of Summer,” “A to Z” could be the next big TV romcom. And did I mention that it stars Cristin Milioti, you know, The Mother? “Gotham” (FOX): As Marvel and DC continue to expand their cinematic universe on TV, Fox’s “Gotham” looks to be a standout comic book adaption against peers like CW’s “Arrow,” its new spin-off “The Flash,” and Marvel’s Agents of Shield on CBS. Gotham tells the origins

story, not of the caped crusader, but of future Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon (played by Southland’s Ben McKenzie) as he begins the investigation into the murders of a young Bruce Wayne’s parents. The noir-styled crime drama also promises to follow the rise to power of several DC villains including Catwoman, the Penguin and the Riddler. “Red Band Society” (FOX): Set in the children’s ward of a Los Angeles hospital, “Red Band Society” is a coming-of-age drama that follows a Breakfast Club-esque group of patients as they face medical issues like cancer or heart defects, while also struggling with the ups and downs of adolescence. “Forever” (ABC): Ioan Greffudd stars as New York City medical examiner Henry Morgan in what could be a runof-the-mill doctor show if not for Morgan’s defining secret: he can’t die, or at least he can’t die for long. (he seems to have a Kenny from South Park effect where the fatalities just don’t stick.) The show’s mystery will also revolve around Morgan’s gift as he studies the dead in attempt to

Indie Mixmasters The Hood Internet take over Granada Meredith Carey Assignments Desk Editor mbcarey@smu.edu
In 2007, indie rock band members Aaron Brink and Steve Riddell decided to start putting together some of their favorite songs, mixing music across genres and putting the results online for anyone and everyone to download. Fast forward seven years and the guys are still at it as the Hood Internet, weaving together songs from Jay Z and Daft Punk, Destiny’s Child and Justice, or Crystal Castles and Rihanna, to create something wonderfully unique out of used material. Now, they’re on the road, touring around the country to play their mixes and original music from 2012’s FEAT. Before their concert this Saturday at the Granada Theater, the Daily Campus sat down to hear from Mr. Riddell and get a glimpse into the duo’s creative process. Daily Campus: You and Aaron started together in an indie rock band. How did you make the transition to electronically produced music? Steve Reidell: It kind of seems like a large jump but in the same sense but we sample a lot of indie rock. People’s interest in music has became a lot wider and we were no exception in that. We had a wide base of things to sample from. We focused entertain ourselves at first. DC: When did you decide to make DJing a full-time job? When did you realize you could do this full time? SR:There was never really a conscious decision but it was exciting to have a project that took the attention of people. When the time came to do DJ sets, that was really exciting and

pushed us to make more music. Even the initial burst of interest was really encouraging. DC: All of your mixes are free and available to anyone online. Why not charge for your music? SR: Sampling such large portions of songs makes charging seems pretty just disingenuous. In this era of music, people just want music for free. It’s good to know that there are people out there that buy music. Some people are buying vinyl records, but going to see music is what people are spending their money on. It wouldn’t be right to charge money for our mixes. We may have assembled them but it doesn’t make them our intellectual property. DC: In 2012, you released your first original album. How was that process different than the mixes you had put together before? SR: Putting out original music we made was not necessarily a new thing. But we thought, what if we tried to make a batch of songs that would sound like a remix but we’ll make new songs instead. It was a lot like playing as a band, a lot of song writing, and collaboration with over 20
people. DC: In 2009, Estelle, the Ting Tings, and Kylie Minogue recreated one of your mixes live at the Brit Awards. Did you know they were using your material? How did you feel when you saw their performance? SR: The Estelle thing was interesting. We had been getting some texts and emails saying they’re doing your mash-ups on the Brit awards. But it doesn’t seem totally out of bounds. It not like they stole something from us. We stole something from them and they realized they could do something with it. DC: You mix a lot of obscure music together, matching songs that we would never put together that go together perfectly. How do you put your mixes together? SR: We don’t think it like “Would X fit with Y.” There are songs that we think that and it fails miserably. But what works is when we hear rhythmic patterns and then we take a stab at mixing them based on that.
