Who will be victorious?

Sports Editors jjennings@smu.edu eholland@smu.edu

Football season is finally here.

SMU and Texas Tech will kick off the season in a non-conference, ESPN nationally televised game Sunday, Sept. 5 in Lubbock, Texas at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Texas Tech finished 9-4 overall last season with a 5-3 Big 12 Conference record. SMU had its best season in 25 years, finishing 8-5 overall with a 6–2 Conference USA record.

SMU has a 13-game losing streak against the Red Raiders. The last time the teams competed, Texas Tech defeated SMU 43-7.

“We’re going into a place where SMU hasn’t won in a number of years. We’ll have our hands full.

They’re (Texas Tech) a very talented team.” Jones said during his weekly College Press Box teleconference on Monday.

Both teams are projected to have two of the most prolific highpowered offenses in the nation this year.

ESPN.com’s opening week preview recently predicted a 44-40 victory for SMU. Other news outlets, such as The

SMU- KYLE PADRON Class: Sophomore Hometown: South Lake, Texas Height/Weight: 6-4 / 210

Dallas Morning News foresee Tech coming out on top, 38-31 over SMU. “We feel like we have to play our best football to win the game,” said Jones.

Neither team is currently ranked, but both teams were crowned champions of their respective bowls last year.

This will be Tommy Tuberville’s first season at Texas Tech, after leaving Auburn in December of 2008.

In 2004 Tuberville received the Walter Camp and Paul Bryant Coach of the Year awards, after leading Auburn to a perfect 13-0 season.

Other awards that season include SEC Coach of the Year and AFCA Coach of the Year.

Tuberville prefers a more runoriented system, which is something Red Raider fans are not used to seeing.

“I’m sure there will be some similarities. The guy Tommy (Tuberville) hired, worked for Mike (Leach), and I’m sure that’s going to influence his scheme, but every coach puts on his own touch...It won’t be exactly like Miek’s offense. I’m sure it will have Tommy’s influence as well, and they will be more run-oriented.

That doesnt mean they wont pass 60 time a game,” forsees Jones.

Offensive coordinator Neal Brown was added to Tuberville’s coaching staff to continue previous head coach, Mike Leach’s offensive system.

Brown left Troy, whose offense was ranked third nationally in 2009.

“I think Tech counts on getting about 100 plays a game, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw 60 passes and 40 runs,” said Jones.

Previous University of Hawaii head coach, June Jones signed a five-year, $2 million-a-year contract with the Mustang in 2008.

The team ended the 2008 season 1-11.

Jones was the fifth coach to take over the team since SMU received the death penalty in 1987 . In 2009, Jones led the Mustangs to a bowl game victory, ending a 25year drought.

Last season, Jones was named Conference USA Coach of the Year

by The Sporting News, and Coach of the Bowl Season by College Football News.

Last week, Jones signed a twoyear contract extension, keeping him at SMU through the 2014 season.

It will be a battle against the

Sunday’s QBs

quarterbacks this Sunday.

Tech recently announced that senior Taylor Potts will be this season’s starting quarterback. In 2009, Potts threw 3,440 yards and scored 22 touchdowns for the Red Raiders.

Potts was named Alamo Bowl Offensive MVP last year after throwing for 372 yards and 2 touchdowns in a bowl game matchup against Michigan State. The Raiders defeated the Spartans 42-31.

SMU sophomore Kyle Padron will lead the Mustangs into Lubbock as this season’s starting quarterback.

Padron took the field seven games into the Mustangs’ season and posted a 5-1 record as starting quarterback. In that span he threw for 1,922 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Padron was named Hawaii Bowl MVP after throwing for 460 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 45-10 bowl victory over Nevada. Padron was also named to ESPN.com’s Non-AQ All-Bowl Team.

The Mustangs will take on the Red Raiders Sunday in Lubbock, Texas at 2:30 p.m.. For more information visit www.smumustangs.cstv.com

TEXAS TECH- TAYLOR POTTS Class: Senior Hometown: Abilene, Texas Height/Weight: 6-5/ 222

As a freshman, SMU quarterback Kyle Padron helped led the Mustangs to a bowl-game championship after 25-years of drought. Padron took over the 2009 season eight games in, finishing the year with a 5-1 record as starter, ranking him fifth in the nation.

He was named MVP of the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl after SMU defeated the University of Nevada 45-10 and broke a school record by passing 460 yards and two touchdowns in a bowl game.

Last season, Padron was named to the C-USA All-Freshman team, ESPN.com’s Non-AQ All-Bowl Team, and was among College Football News’ eight best players in the post season.

Texas Tech recently announced that senior Taylor Potts will start off the season against SMU on Sept. 5. Potts was named the Alamo Bowl Offensive MVP after throwing a bowlrecord 372 yards and two touchdowns against Michigan State. The Red Raiders ended the game 41-31.

Potts was a member of the scout team during his first year at Texas Tech in 2006. During the 2007 and 2008 seasons Potts was the Heisman candidate Graham Harrell’s backup.

During his freshman year, Potts completed 6-of-7 passes for a total of 54 yards against SMU in the fourth quarter of the game.

In 2008 in the Tech home opener against SMU, Potts went 6-of-7 for a season-high 95 yards, and a season-long pass of 27 yards.Last season, Potts was named Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week after leading Tech to victory against Rice on Sept. 12, 2009. That particular game was Potts’ second start as quarterback and the second game in a row in which he threw over 400 yards.

PHILANTHROPY

SMU students learn social justice

By ELENA HARDING Features Editor eharding@smu.edu

SMU students involved with the SMU Catholic Campus Ministry and the Big iDeas Program are volunteering to help local refugees.

It all started with Urban Plunge, which was founded by Social Justice Minister Erin Duffy and Director of Catholic Campus Ministry Frank Santoni.

Urban Plunge is a program that explores poverty, citizenship and housing through social justice. It is located five miles from SMU at Vickery Meadow and is home to over 10,000 refugees.

“It’s a total immersion,” Andrea Fernandez, graduate intern for social justice, said. “So you really see a little bit through the refugee’s eyes...[it] really allows for an inside view of what the immediate needs are inside the community.”

During the first Urban Plunge, the students noticed a need for education services.

They joined forces with Catholic Charities and set up an after school program to further the refugees’ English skills and provide a safe place

for their children to stay while their parents are working.

There are three groups for the volunteer program: reading, art and soccer.

Drew Konow is about to start his fourth year volunteering at Vickery Meadow. He said the tutoring program is important because “everyone is in a Dallas ISD school, so they have to catch up.”

Konow said his volunteering has helped him build relationships with the students at Vickery Meadow.

Occasionally he walked some of the students to their apartment after tutoring. He said the appreciation he received from their parents strengthened his desire to continue tutoring at Vickery Meadow.

“We want to be good role models for the children,” Fernandez said.

SMU students take part in Urban Plunge 2008.

Another Vickery Meadow Volunteer, Saira Husain, said her experience at Vickery Meadow was a humbling one.

The difference in living conditions between SMU and Vickery Meadow has made a lasting impression on her.

“You drive on campus and see beautiful landscape, buildings, nice cars and clothes,” Husain said.

However, at Vickery Meadow, minutes from North Park Mall, she said there are run-down apartments, people walking because they don’t have cars and unsupervised children.

This empathy for the refugees at Vickery Meadow manifested in tutoring as well as in Big iDeas projects.

Fernandez used a Big iDeas grant to work with a woman to start a business with other refugees.

She said a group of women met while cleaning hotel rooms and decided to start a house-cleaning business to meet demand in the area.

After some help planning and advertising, they took over the business, which is now based in Mesquite, Texas.

Refugee left heaven for haven when he left Bhutan for Nepal

By ELENA HARDING Features Editor eharding@smu.edu

Ganesh and Partima Kafley married shortly before they left Bhutan in April 1991. They resettled in a Nepalese refugee camp, where they lived and raised a family for 18 years.

They left in response to the January 1989 decree from King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, requiring all residents to wear the traditional Bhutanese dress and speak Dzongkha.

Kafley said the rule about language affected the older population of Nepalese speakers in Bhutan. For example, though Kafley’s mother was born in Bhutan, she spoke Nepali.

This made it difficult for her to find work or run errands because, and as a student, Kafley was not always available to accompany his mother to translate.

In 1990, Kafley was part of a large group that peacefully protested the restrictions on dress and speech. Many of his friends were killed or caught and tortured by the police, and many women were captured and raped.

Shortly thereafter, Kafley and his wife Partima left for Nepal, where she became a teacher. They could not live in Bhutan for fear of persecution, and because they were not born in

Mahdi, are working to establish “a mental health clinic that will provide screening, referral and treatment for patients suffering from various mental health disorders, including depression.”

Another Big iDeas project, run

by Jose Ramon Campos and Filip Lorinc, will provide financial advice to residents of Vickery Meadow.

The program will help those who need to overcome debt and financial difficulty. So far, they are in the process of helping one family at Vickery Meadow.

This year, Urban Plunge will be the week of Oct. 8 at Vickery Meadow, and volunteering at Vickery Meadow will begin the first week of October, Mondays through Thursdays from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m.

Iraqi translator moves to Texas

By ELENA HARDING Features Editor eharding@smu.edu

A former U.S. Army translator and interpreter, Salah Ahmed, left his home in Iraq to relocate his family to a safer environment this June.

“When we go outside or sleep inside, I’m not thinking about the danger outside,” Ahmed, also a retired cabinet officer from the Iraqi Army, said. “I’m sleeping safe and feel relaxed.”

Ahmed said he would not leave his family alone for even one night in Baghdad.

With three bachelor degrees, one in military science from military college, and the other two in German and English from the University of Baghdad, he worked for the U.S. Army in Baghdad for one year, and then worked for five years with the United States Agency for International Development.

As a partial reward for working for the U.S. Government, Ahmed, his wife Astrabraq and their three daughters were able to relocate to

FOOTBALL

Freshman players may see game time

BY EJ HOLLAND

Associate Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

After last year’s break-out season, SMU football is back and more highprofile prospects are taking notice.

The recruiting class of 2010 includes 16 three star Rivals.com recruits, which more than doubles the number of star recruits that SMU had in 2009 and justifies why many believe that this is the Mustangs’ finest recruiting class in years.

Running back Darryl Fields (6-2, 200) is considered to be the prize of the recruiting class. Fields rushed 1,495 yards and made 25 touchdowns last year in Madill, Okla. and was selected to the Oklahoma All-State team. He had official offers from Big 12 schools, such as Oklahoma State, Kansas and Texas Tech, but opted for SMU.

Fields is expected to steal some carries from starting senior running back Chris Butler as well as a few return kicks.

“Hopefully, I’ll get a few snaps throughout the game,” Fields said.

“Mostly in running situations.”

Wide Receiver Kyle Guinyard (511, 205) is another recruit who turned down a couple of Big 12 schools for SMU. “I wanted to come somewhere where I could play or have a quick start,” Guinyard said. “SMU was close to home, and I wanted to be a part of the turnaround.”

As a junior at Ennis High School, Guinyard was an unstoppable force, recording 110 receptions for 1,751 yards and 20 touchdowns. A torn ACL cut his senior year short, but Guinyard is now hard at work on the

practice field.

“In high school, I really didn’t have to do much, but in college it’s more route running,” he said. “I have to show up and show the coaches I can play.”

SMU created more depth on offense by signing quarterback Stephen Kaiser (6-3, 215) of DeSmet, Mo. and running back Kevin Pope (5-10, 225) of Mount Enterprise, Texas.

The Mustangs also added a couple of electrifying Texas athletes with speed to burn. Der’rikk Thompson (6-0, 190) of Troup, Texas and Jeremy Johnson (6-1, 180) of Tyler, Texas both run the 40 in 4.4 seconds and can be lethal weapons on an already explosive offense.

Johnson believes some sort of “Wild Mustang” formation could be added to the playbook.

“We’ve been working on it during practice. In fact, today, we worked on a few plays with me at quarterback,” he said. “Don’t look forward to seeing it [against Texas Tech], but we’ll be working on it.”

Defensively, the Mustangs signed defensive tackle Michael O’Guin (6-2, 295) of Van Vleck, Texas and multi talented linebacker Randall Joyner (510, 210) of Carrollton, Texas to help improve an SMU defense that allowed over 27 points per game last season.

Joyner was a two-way player in high school and recorded 60 tackles and 6 interceptions to go along with 1,462 yards rushing as a senior.

“To be able to hit people, get interceptions and run for touchdowns was a blessing,” Joyner said. “Right now [at SMU] I’m playing linebacker.

I’m second string behind Taylor Reed.

He’s been a good mentor, helping me out with plays. When I get my chance, I’m going to shine.”

Joyner also believes the defense is “looking really good” and “has a nose for the football.”

Balancing football and academics is a tough task for freshmen, but Fields has been able to handle the pressure.

“I get my studies in when I’m not at practice, and I do my homework in study hall, so it’s not as hard as it seems,” he said. “It’s tough when you lose sleep, but you have to get it done.”

The recruiting class of 2010 will get their first taste of college football action against Texas Tech on September 5th in Lubbock.

“We should win. We just have to get out their and execute what we’ve been practicing,” Fields said.

He said he received threats for working with the U.S. and was called a spy by opposing religious or political groups, which was part of the reason he chose to move.

He works as a translator for Dallas ISD, but his first U.S. job was at Blockbuster. He said he arrived in bad economic times and it was not easy to find work that fit his qualifications.

“Change… is not so easy, with all the challenges of a different country,” Ahmed said. “I was worried about my family first. “ Ahmed said his children are the main reason he moved to the U.S. He wanted to live in “a country of law because the law protect[s] everyone… in my country.

The lived in a refugee camp where they built a two room home of bamboo and plastic, approximately 10 feet by 12 feet and housed six people. Kafley said fires broke out in the camp about once a year, and some people lost what little they had.

Kafley said it was frustrating to live in the camp. Although their four children had access to school, due to the location of the camp, Kafley said it was difficult find work. Supplies came every 15 days, and roll was called. If someone was not there, Kafley said that they were considered residents and were taken off the list for supplies.

In 2008, the family was given the opportunity for third party resettlement. Kafley said he heard from Catholic Charities’ representatives June 23, and he filed the paperwork the next day.

Just over seven months later, the Kafley family arrived in the U.S. Kafley remembers his time in Butan before the refugee camp fondly.

After a two-hour lightning delay, SMU and Missouri State finally took the field to kick off the 2010 men’s soccer season.

The heavy rains flooded Westcott Field, causing muddy and horrific field conditions.

Despite the melancholy weather, the Mustangs prevailed with an electrifying 3-2 overtime victory over the Bears.

“We have a very resilient group,” SMU head coach Tim McClements said. “The thing that we said at halftime was that we dug ourselves in a hole, but we have the quality in the room to get ourselves out of it, and we did. It was a great way to start out the season.”

MSU struck first 29 minutes into the game when midfielder Gerard Barbero assisted fellow midfielder Heath Melugin, who was able to score on a header off a perfectly executed corner kick to give the Bears a 1-0 lead.

“Missouri State is a very athletic team, and they get numbers behind the ball,” McClements said. “They’re very difficult to break down.”

Just before halftime, the Bears’ defender Callen Roselieb shocked the Mustangs by scoring another goal in the final minutes of the first half giving MSU a 2-0 lead heading into

halftime.

As the second half kicked off, SMU turned to a pair of freshmen to help save the game.

First, midfielder Zach Barnes gave SMU life, scoring right off the bat only a minute into the second half with a distant header into an empty net. “[The goal] felt like it brought some life to the guys,” Barnes said.

“In the 2nd half we were ready to go and come back.”

Fellow freshman forward Juan Castillo followed with a goal of his own three minutes before the end of the second half, sending the game into overtime.

“The ball came off the goalie right on my leg, and I just put it in the back of the net,” Castillo said. “You can’t think you’re a freshman–you just have to play like [the upperclassmen] and get ahead of them.”

In the second half of overtime, SMU midfielder AJ Corrado was able to find midfielder TJ Nelson, who scored the game winning goal 12 minutes into overtime.

“It was such a joyful moment for me…” Nelson said. “My first goal being the game winner–I loved it.”

SMU will host Lipscomb in the SMU Classic on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Texans deserve fair debate in public forum It is a rare occurrence that The Daily Campus chooses to hold a special session of the editorial board. It is even less common that we would choose to publish our editorial on an irregular day. This is one of those occasions.

Today, The Daily Campus is joining 10 other major college newspapers from all over the state in encouraging Rick Perry to accept the invitation to debate Bill White on the University of Texas’s campus on Oct. 19.

To date, Perry has refused several invitations to debate Bill White.

Perry’s office says that this is due to the fact that Bill White has not released his tax returns from the time he spent as deputy secretary of energy under President Clinton and as chairman of the Texas Democratic Party.

While we feel that this request for transparency is a worthy one, we also feel that this is not a substantial enough reason for the Perry campaign to deny the citizens of Texas what would be a valuable source of information. Their reasoning is inherently political and not based on public policy, and it is not what the citizens of Texas deserve out of this increasingly nasty campaign.

In Perry’s 25 years in elected office he has never been the loser. He has a reputation for fighting hard and running seamless campaigns.

Bill White has been fighting hard this time around as well, and this campaign is quickly descending into attack ads, shifty politicking and lists of unanswered questions. It is time to see these hard-edged politicians discuss their differences in a public forum.

Public debates allow citizens to see what the candidates are like in a pressure-filled situation where they are forced to think on their feet and react instantaneously. This is an important test in determining their readiness to take office. It also mandates that candidates give concrete answers to difficult questions that they have been reluctant to speak out on while they are in campaign mode. Further, debates in a public forum allow people to literally compare the two candidates side-byside, answer for answer. These three things are essential to making an educated decision as a voter.

We should be particularly passionate about this as college students.

Collectively, there are more than 511,000 eligible college age voters in Texas. Together, we represent a large portion of the voting pool who are equally as affected by this campaign as our parents, our bosses and our professors. We would be remiss not to take action in this circumstance.

We, just as much as those stated above, will be affected by the elected governor’s decisions on immigration, health care, social services, public transportation, the environment and higher education, just to name a few. It is time for this spiteful campaign to take a turn for the better and culminate in a head-to-head debate.

Thus, The Daily Campus emphatically calls upon the Perry campaign to take down their barriers and agree to debate Bill White on Oct. 19.

Should they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to lose.

BTW, the USA is totes keeping tabs on you COMMENTARY

Afternoon ritual: sit in front of laptop, check e-mail, log onto Facebook, snap out of its spell (45 minutes later) and wonder what happened to the time.

Initially, I scoffed at the likes of Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. They seemed Drew Konow like a waste of time, energy and privacy, and they are.

Granted, social networks do offer us efficient, accessible ways of staying in touch and sharing content with others. Moreover, these user-friendly, profile-centered sites satisfy both our narcissist indulgences and our self-identity crises.

Nonetheless, the average user is no longer alone in his or her appreciation of these social media networks.

The U.S. Library of Congress, in fact, announced in April that they would begin to archive all public Tweets. In other words, researchers and government offices could potentially be privy to that song that was stuck in your head, your reactions to the recent Emmys or your opinion on the recent Oval Office speech. Our status updates are likely to paint a colorful, intimate picture of American history and identity.

Yet the prospect that an academic or governmental microscope would seek some probative value in a Tweet does not make me LOL. Truly, IDK what to think.

My first thought is full-out, Armageddon-style social media conspiracy.

Everyone hopefully has wasted a good four minutes watching a Facebook conspiracy theory video. For those unfamiliar, it goes like this: Facebook is a plot by the U.S. government to get all of your personal information and use it against you.

Indeed, Facebook has donned creepy taglines, like, “What’s on your mind?” and “Write something about yourself.” Not to mention, we pour information online, like what events we’ll be attending, what our likes and dislikes are, our personal opinions, and pictures from our latest vacations. User sharing even includes content as intimate as phone numbers, e-mails and addresses.

Most importantly, all of this content belongs to Facebook. With more than 500 million active Facebook users, the extent of information the social network possesses is prodigious. Not to mention, with Facebook’s new “Places,” Mark Zuckerberg knows exactly where you are.

In other words, OMG – get off Facebook, apocalypse, freak out.

So maybe that is unlikely, but there is some evidence that governments already use Facebook to track people down.

There have been several reports of criminals being caught because of their Facebook statuses.

One burglar even left his profile up on the computer of the individual he was stealing from. Another criminal, after escaping police, taunted them via his

Developing countries look for leaders

President Calderon’s State of the Union address reminds Mexicans that national pride can go a long way.

This morning, Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke to the nation in his annual address. Like every other year, the text of the State of the Union was first delivered to the Congress and then read to the public.

Except this year, something was different.

This year, Mexico is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the commencement of its war for independence and the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the revolutionary war.

The 2010 bicentennial celebratory programs have Adriana Martinez provided an opportunity for the current administration to bolster Mexican pride. This is both timely and necessary, given Calderon’s declining ratings.

The current war against narcotic-trafficking organizations within the country has reduced trust in Calderon and his administration. Furthermore, the coalitions formed by the oppositional PRI and PRD parties are limiting legislative endeavours of Calderon’s National Action Party (PAN). This paralyzation of policy, coupled with the fear of national insecurity, has left the Mexican people dissatisfied, to say the least.

Therefore, it is now, more than ever, that Mexico needs a leader.

In the American educational system, a strong emphasis is placed on developing leadership abilities. While I had always regarded this as useful for personal development and resume building, I did not realize that such qualities can affect the fate of a nation.

Only months ago, Calderon intensified his efforts towards this end by hiring image consultants and new advisors. Ultimately, however, it will depend on his ability to utilize the rhetoric of this patriotic year to improve his ratings and successfully guide Mexico into its third century.

Facebook status updates. He was eventually caught as well. ROFL. It’s not just the U.S. government that can check up on what you’ve been posting on Facebook. I recently stumbled upon a website I’d heard about months ago called youropenbook.org.

The site was created in the wake of this summer’s Facebook privacy fiasco and offers a live database of public statuses. It allows users to search any word and will automatically post the relevant statuses.

While searches for pop-culture topics like “Justin Beiber” or “Lost Finale” offers entertaining results ,and topics such as “getting married today” or “newborn” may melt your heart, a simple search for “e-mail address” or “new phone number” may rattle your sense of security and privacy.

AKA, be careful what you post. SRSLY. Although it is unlikely that the IRS will like your next marketplace sale or that the executive branch will re-tweet your posts, we may all consider being a bit more careful with what we post. You never know who is watching you. h So the next time you click “share” or “tweet,” remember that not only will your now-Facebookuser grandma see the post, but your grandchildren or your senator may also take note of it.

BRIEF

News from around the world Asia-Pacific

China accused of exporting fake goods: European Union officials traced 64 percent of this year’s illegal imports into the EU from China. Among the top illegally imported items were cigarettes, fake labels, clothing, toys and blank CDs and DVDs. Typhoon hits Seoul, South Korea: Last Thursday, Typhoon Kompaso caused dozens of landslides across the country that cut power lines and caused transport chaos. So far three people are dead, and many are looking for rescue at local hospitals.

Middle East Peace talks begin between Israeli and Palestinian leaders: President Obama initiated the first of future negations between Palestine and Israel last Thursday.

Giving them a year deadline, President Obama hopes both leaders will reach a settlement that establishes the Israeli-occupied Gaza strip as an independent, democratic Palestinian state existing peacefully beside Israel. Although the U.S. pledges its support to these talks, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said that the U.S. would not impose a solution. Central to the talks are the issues of Israelis’ security and Jewish settlement construction on Palestinian territory.

South Asia Afghan civilians killed in NATO air strike: In an attempt to attack a member of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan who regularly worked for the Taliban, NATO forces struck civilians in a 100-car campaign convoy. Ten civilians were killed and dozens more were injured. Afghan President Hamid Karzai strongly condemned the strike.

Europe Russia extends its grain export ban: Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would continue to prohibit the exportation of wheat. After being hit hard by drought this summer, Russia’s production has significantly dropped to the point that officials are unsure if there will be enough to cover domestic consumption. As a result, global bread prices have risen and fears have spread about the impacts on consumers.

Latin America Cuba plans offshore drilling program: Cuba aims to drill seven exploration wells in the Gulf of Mexico beginning mid-year 2011. Of the 59 divided blocks in its share of the Gulf, 21 are already leased to foreign oil companies, and foreign interest is growing. Many Americans fear Cuba’s proximity to the U.S. border and the possibility of another oil spill devastating marine life and beaches.

US & Canada Blast at oil rig forced 13 people overboard: On Thursday, an oil rig fire off the Louisiana coastline forced 13 people overboard. All 13 were found floating uninjured in the Gulf and were shortly rescued. The cause of the explosion has yet to be determined.

GREEK LIFE

Familiar letters return to fraternity row

By ELENA HARDING & TAYLOR ADAMS Features Editor, News Editor eharding@smu.edu, tadams@smu.edu

Their charter was removed early in the 2009 spring semester, and the 18 members living in the house were originally given five days to pack up and leave.

This date was later extended when the former members were not able to find housing in time. They were given the choice of moving off campus or taking whatever rooms or roommates were available.

The suspension for the SMU chapter for Kappa Alpha Order went into effect on Feb. 14, 2009 at 5 p.m.

Although The Dallas Morning News reported that they were suspended until the 2011-2012 academic year, a recent press release from Andrew Carr, associate director for chapter development, and Jesse Lyons, states the chapter will be re-colonized at SMU this semester. Carr was a KA at Texas State University, and Lyons was a KA at Western Carolina University.

The chapter is coming back to campus after their proposal to return early was accepted by SMU, according to Kristal Statler, director of fraternity and sorority life at SMU. This is the chapter’s second proposal, after SMU rejected the first one in Jan. 2010 .

Carr said KA was allowed to re-colonize its chapter a year early with full recognition from SMU after several months of negotiation between SMU administration and the Kappa Alpha Order National Administration Office.

KA had been on deferred suspension since Dec. 2008 and was not allowed to host or co-host a social event whether it was on or off campus.

TYLER WILLIAMS/The Daily Campus

The former KA house currently houses students who are waiting for resident hall assignments.

When the fraternity then held an event off campus, allegedly having supplied alcohol to minors, they were suspended.

In order to avoid a repeat of the behavior that lost the Kappa Alpha charter, Lyons said a staff member of KA will live close by for most of the semester.

Additionally, an alumni advisory committee and the staff member on campus will run a full educational program for new members on the history, values and basic operation of the chapter to help new members learn from the past.

Statler explained that SMU will help the chapter as it joins campus, just as it would with any new organization.

“We’re working closely with their headquarters and current membership on campus,” she said.

IFC President Mike Alberts is optimistic for KA’s SMU chapter to return.

“KA was a strong chapter while they were here, and they’re coming back strong,” he said. “I’m absolutly thrilled that they’re coming back.”

Both Carr and Lyons think recruitment will go well with the support of alumni. He said he has already spoken to 30 prospective members that are interested and hopes to fill at least 20 spots this fall.

Future plans involve recruiting a full class of underclassmen in the spring, and eventually, he said, their intent is to become fully chartered by the end of spring 2011 and move back into the original KA house. According to Statler, this will be possible if the chapter recruits enough members to fill the available spaces in the house.

The former KA house is where the body of Joseph Hunter Green was discovered in spring 2010.

The remaining former members of the chapter are seniors, who were just sophomores when the chapter was removed.

POLITICS

Sessions warns College Republicans of ‘economic calamity’

By MEREDITH SHAMBURGER Senior Staff Writer mshamburge@smu.edu

The main message at Wednesday evening’s College Republican meeting was that Democrats are driving the United States in the wrong direction.

Congressman Pete Sessions, a Republican from Texas’s 32nd District, spoke at the meeting in the Varsity of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center, discussing a host of issues.

Sessions is also the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

The economy took up a good portion of Sessions’ discussion. Using Japan as a cautionary tale, he argued against government interference in the free-enterprise system.

“Japan in the mid-80s had 16 of the 20 largest banks in the world,” he said.

“They had a savings rate of 23 percent. Japan had the finest educational system in the world—or so they said. And Japan had the best technology platform of anywhere in the world.”

But then, according to Sessions, “something happened.”

“Their government co-opted the free enterprise system to be partners because somebody thought it was good,

because things were going so great, that we need to help the government out too,” he said.

Sessions pointed to the nicknamed “Lost Decade,” when Japan saw its economy suffer.

He explained that Japan has had 17 years of economic decline since then.

Sessions also lambasted the Obama administration’s budget plan.

“The facts of the case are real simple. They are doubling and tripling the debt of this country,” he said.

“If we push a 2011 budget the way the president wants it, the [budget] Speaker Pelosi wants, we will be above Greece with the debt to GDP ratio within eight years.”

Due to the size of our economy, Sessions said this “would mean economic calamity for the entire world.”

Sessions also chided Democrats for not growing the economy.

“The facts of the case are now some twenty months later, our GDP growth for the year has now been downgraded from 2.6 to 1.6,” he said.

According to Sessions, it will take 74 years to double the economy under the Democrats’ plan.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is not a successful way to have to run a country,” he said. “And I’m trying to get you to think about how important this is, about how deceptive people are.”

FOOD

Chef Francesca Nor imports her exciting tastes from the West and East Coasts to Snider Plaza

By TAYLOR ADAMS News Editor tadams@smu.edu

It’s your typical “hole in the wall” restaurant: a small restaurant that may have gone unnoticed without the neon “open” sign on the glass window. It may not be a place for a first date, but everyone knows it has the best burgers in town.

It has that kind of a small, local restaurant appeal that owner and chef Franchesca Nor had in mind when she came to Dallas from Miami to introduce her coastal cuisine—just without the neon sign and the suspicion that the restaurant hasn’t passed a health safety test in a while.

“I think the best food you get is in a hole in the wall, a dive, you know. However, I didn’t want it to look like a

dive,” she said.

Her hole in the wall, indeed, serves great food, and she thinks she chose just the right place. Nor brings her coastal cuisine to Snider Plaza with Dive, her new restaurant.

“I think Dallas has a lot of great startup companies that have done very well, and I think people in Dallas really appreciate a place that is neighborhood driven,” she said.

“Miami is very trend-driven, and there’s a lack of interest in the actual food and the actual place itself. I would say Dallas has a good appreciation for that, and it makes a big difference.”

Inside the restaurant, brushed metal chairs surround tables stained to look like driftwood. The stripped floor looks like sand underneath the ceiling, which consists of wooden panels, making the customers feel as though they’re dining beneath a dock.

Large, turquoise art deco posters brighten the dining area. Nor designed them herself with vintage pictures of women on the beach dating from the 1930s to the 1970s.

Nor carefully chose the design and colors to be “slightly nautical, but also very clean.”

The young, half-Brazilian chef grew up in San Diego, Calif., where she first discovered a love for food. Her parents, who were friends with many well-known chefs, took her to all the best restaurants.

As a child, she would come home from school and go to the kitchen where the family’s chef would be preparing food. She was a “foodie” since the beginning. It’s easy to tell that now, but surprising to some when she was just a girl.

“I would order things like—caviar—and the waiter would be like, ‘What? But you’re five.’ [My love for food] just formed really young,” she said.

Aside from the palm trees by the entrance and the Miami Beach feel, the best part of Dive is that when you walk in and look up, there is a chalk-board stretching across almost the entire front wall with columns of menu items.

Brightly colored chalk displays item categories, such as “Olympic Size Salads”, and Dive wraps and sandwiches.

You won’t make it halfway through “Off the Coast” items before someone behind the counter asks what you would like.

As Nor points out, the walk-up ordering is something she felt was necessary in order to keep her restaurant casual. But after that, customers are taken care of from their tables.

The seared ahi tuna wrap has impressively fresh tuna, a subtle taste of coconut rice and a complimenting ginger slaw. The coastal tacos, served three ways, are one of the more popular items, perhaps because of the fried baja fish.

Francesca Nor, owner and chef of Dive, Snider Plaza’s newest restaurant is focusing on coastal cuisine. The restaurant features tasty items at reasonable prices. Be sure to check out the Ahi Tuna Wrap.

However, the soy ginger-lime grilled fish or spicy shrimp is just as worthy.

The little neck clams are served with angel hair pasta, all mixed together with a freshly made pesto. Nor’s favorite on the menu is the mussels dish, served in a sauce made from chorizo, tomato, garlic and champagne (a lighter ingredient, compared to the traditional white wine).

The menu is dense, but it’s all food that Nor loves.

“It’s everything I would cook in my kitchen, everything I grew up eating,” she said.

She had a lucky upbringing when it came to eating, as this menu also features various hummuses, more than 10 salads, and a lot more seafood, like seared scallops and a fried codfish sandwich. Surf and turf is even on the menu, pairing churrasco steak and a shrimp skewer. Daily ceviches join the special board with items that change, for the most part, weekly.

Regardless of what you choose for your meal, Dive’s organic iced tea bar is a must-have. At first, the ginger is good, but if you let Nor take over, she’ll pair your tea with

a shot of flavor and a squeeze of tartness.

If there’s still some room left in your stomach, a list of deserts is also on the over-sized chalk-board. But after she made a few testers last week, Nor has added a new indulgence to list: key lime pie.

With the coastal approach in both décor and cuisine, it only makes sense that Nor add the Floridian desert. But this isn’t quite the typical version that many claim is simple and too tart.

Nor creates a creamy filling for the pie, still keeping it a light dessert, but pushing its boundaries towards an indulgence. However, it’s the crust that really makes this pie better than others.

While some restaurants make the traditional graham cracker crust, a layer of sand beneath the tart pudding, Nor makes the crust a thicker consistency, almost like a crumble, with granola—an ingredient which also takes a bite out of the tartness of key limes.

Dive has been successful since its opening this past summer. Nor plans to start a Sunday brunch in October.
