NEWS Briefs World BEIRUT — Islamic State extremists released a video Tuesday showing the beheading of a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and warning President Barack Obama that more beheadings will occur as long as the U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue.

U.S. intelligence analysts are currently working to determine if the video is authentic.

UKRAINE— Violence continued in Ukraine as dozens were killed near the village of Novokaterynivka. Attacks have increased following the sighting of Russian tanks and armored vehicles crossing the Ukraine border.

President Barack Obama and other NATO leaders will be attending a summit Thursday in Wales to create a rapid-response military team to counter the Russian threat.

National NASHVILLE— Thirty teens escaped from a juvenile detention center late Monday night.

The men kicked out metal panels under the windows of their dormitories at Woodland Hills Youth Development Center to escape under the surrounding fence. All but eight of the juveniles have returned to the detention center. Those who escaped will be taken to juvenile court to face potential escape charges.

Texas CORPUS CHRISTI — A federal judge began reviewing new Texas voter ID rules challenged by the Obama administration in a trial that could threaten the law. A decision from the trial is not expected before the November election, meaning approximately 13.6 million registered voters in Texas would still need to produce a photo ID this fall.

campuses, but also connects students with leading brands and non-profits.

Before Chance the Rapper performs in Moody Coliseum, there will be a festival outside.

Tents will be set up with representatives offering brands from Adidas to Red Bull.

The festival will also feature brands promoting new ways to live stream music.

“We’re very excited to have the Verge Tour on campus this year. This is the tour that made Kendrick Lamar who he is today,

and I have high hopes for Chance The Rapper as well,” Program Council’s Concerts Chair Hanan Esaili said.

The Verge Tour skyrocketed Kendrick Lamar’s career last year by exposing college students to his music.

“The Buried Life” will also make an appearance on some college campuses during the tour.

Sweater Beats and Young & Sick will open the concert.

Tickets are expected to be available for purchase online Monday.

According to Esaili, floor tickets are $10 for students and $20 for guests, and general admission tickets are free for students and $10 for guests.

Roommates find their ‘niche’ with new app

SMU welcomes Sigma Phi Lambda

christina cox Managing Editor clcox@smu.edu Say goodbye to those uncomfortable run-ins with roommates.

Thanks to a new app, Uni Niche, roommates can stay updated with each other’s whereabouts with a free private timeline on their iPhones.

“We wanted to create something to make the experience of living with roommates in college even better than it already is,” Univeristy Niche CEO Jonathan Miller said.

Miller along with his two roommates, Sean Thielen and Chase Klitzner, created the app idea this summer as a spin-off of their existing website University Niche, which links landlords and apartment owners to students.

The app took the trio about a month to develop and perfect.

Uni Niche’s main objective is to help roommates stay in touch, manage expenses and split bills.

“We came up with a list of common ‘statuses’ for roommates, including everything from ‘Chase is going to the grocery store’ to ‘Sean needs some ‘privacy,’” Miller said.

“Sharing one of these statuses with your roommates is as easy as tapping a button.”

With Uni Niche, one roommate can publish what he or she is doing based on 16 icons

Uni Niche, an app connecting roommates, was created by three college students while they were in school.

and another can respond on the app with options like “seen this” or “taken care of this.”

“They have worked really hard to create an app to cater to… people who are looking to communicate with the click of a button and to easily manage payments between roommates,” said Jonathan Miller’s sister and sophomore Katie Miller.

A unique feature of the app is its ability to add up and evenly split shared expenses.

Users can also pay for these expenses through the app using a secure and encrypted transaction. These transactions allow funds to be transferred from one roommate’s debit card to another without using a third party service.

“With the touch of a button I can tell my roommate Katie how much I spent on

groceries,” said Katie Miller’s roommate and sophomore Jessica Winter.

“We have already used Uni Niche to pay each other back for Trader Joe’s and some dorm essentials,” Katie Miller said.

The pair has also used the app to meet up for lunch and dinner throughout the week.

Katie Miller and Winter found Uni Niche especially helpful during move-in day.

“When things were incredibly hectic my roommate and I were able to communicate each other’s whereabouts and stay updated on the decorating process of our room,” Winter said.

The app is gaining traction on college campuses.

According to Jonathan Miller, since the Uni Niche’s launching Aug. 25, the number of users continues to grow

every day.

“We’ve seen some really good feedback from reviews in the app store, and we’ve had some people email us saying how helpful it’s been to them,” Jonathan Miller said. “A number of people have contacted us asking for an Android version, so that’s going to be the next thing we focus on.”

Katie Miller and Winter foresee the app being used by many students here at SMU. “I think Uni Niche could have a huge impact on SMU’s campus,” Katie Miller said.

Sophomore Katie Logsdon was ready for PanHellenic recruitment last fall, recommendation letters in the mail, fees paid. Then she started thinking about Christian organizations like Beta Upsilon Chi (BYX) and Eta Iota Sigma (Eta Sig), and changed her mind.

“I found out about Sigma Phi Lambda because it’s really big in Texas,” said Logsdon, who now serves as the sorority’s treasurer.

“At that point I realized that I wanted something different.”

The organization, called Phi Lamb for short, was formed at the University of Texas in 1988, and has spread to several southern states. Texas A&M boasts the largest chapter with around 400 members.

Logsdon, along with fellow sophomores Whitney Babin, vice president; Sara Langone, chaplain; and senior Sarah Day, president, began taking steps to found a Sigma Phi Lambda chapter at SMU. The process started this January, and by February, they were holding general interest meetings for potential new members.

The founders and their charter member class of 26 were initiated last week, forming an official organization. Phi Lamb hosted

Light the Night with BYX, which was sponsored by Program Council’s Mustang Welcome Weeks. They plan to host more open on-campus events in the future.

“We really want to be able to do at least one open event per semester that’s open to the entire SMU community, no matter what you’re involved in, whether you’re male or female,” said Logsdon. “We don’t want to be insular inside ourselves.

We don’t want to be a cliquey group of people who have these beliefs.”

In addition to open events, Phi Lamb is planning several service projects for the semester with Mercy Street, Uplift Charter School and more. The group is holding recruitment this week which includes events like volleyball under the stars at Dedman Center and a more formal evening at Highland Park United Methodist Church.

Day wants women of SMU to be aware that there are organizational options outside of PanHellenic sororities.

“As the founders, we all were able to relate to ourselves as freshmen, and why we would’ve wanted something like this. I think that helps drive our passion for it,” she said. “We always say that ‘you choose us; we don’t choose you.’”

Karl Lagerfeld’s bodyguard masters the perfect selfie Gabriella Bradley Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu For Sébastien Jondeau a day on the job means a day with the king—the king of fashion that is. For the past decade, he has served as the right-hand man and bodyguard to fashion dictator and Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfield.

As one can only assume, Lagerfeld always travels in style, and Jondeau is no exception.

With his Tom-Hardy-meetsTim Riggins rugged good looks, Jondeau’s job description recently expanded from armed escort to part-time model. He appeared in Lagerfeld’s campaign last year for

While his work as a male model and body shield has been notably impressive, Jondeau has also mastered another art: the selfie.

Between the jet setting and the celebrity shoulder rubbing, he has taken to Instagram to document his whirlwind adventures.

Going by the alias @bentoub, Jondeau’s has garnered over 13,000 followers dying to sneak a peek into Lagerfeld’s behind-thescenes life.

Jondeau documents mostly the air travel escapades of the duo, from getting on and off private jets, often with a caravan of suited

There are group shots of the two with Lagerfeld’s muse Cara Delevingne and singer Rita Ora in the streets of Paris duringa night on set and Jondeau manning his post outside of the Grand Palais.

While there aren’t any pictures of the other half of Lagerfeld’s entourage, Choupette, the white cat gifted to him by French male model Baptiste Giabiconi, Joudeau’s little peeks into his world will have to suffice our viewing pleasures. And the fact that he isn’t too hard on the eyes makes it just bearable enough.

Tory Burch takes on the treadmill with FitBit line Gabriella Bradley Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu In the past few years, the gym has become more than just a place to go the morning after one (okay, two) too many margaritas.

With the market takeover of Lululemon’s flirty workout tops and sleek yoga outfittings, the treadmill is now just as fashionable as the sidewalk.

These days it seems that designers are all trying to get in on the savy athletic wear trend, with Stella McCartney creating a namesake line for Adidas and brands like MICHI popping up all around.

Now that athletic clothing has been taken care of, sporty luxury jewelry is the new item to top off your gym time wardrobe.

This fall, fashion industry leader Tory Burch and the athletic tech wizards of FitBit are teaming up to bring you just that.

We all know Tory Burch, but what is this FitBit she is partnering with? FitBit is a physical activity tracker that is designed to help

you become more active, eat a more well-rounded diet, sleep better and ultimately, live a healthier lifestyle.

The FitBit is shaped like a clip and is about 2 inches long, allowing you to clip it onto any part of your clothing you find most suitable. Throughout the day, this little device logs a wide variety of data about your activities, including distance traveled, steps taken and calories burned. At night, you slip the clip piece into a wristband and it can monitor all aspects of your night’s sleep, from when you go to bed to your deepest hours of slumber.

Now factor in Tory Burch’s cult following and stylish jewelry design and your Pure Barre class will look better than it ever did before. The collection features three different designs for every kind of style.

There is a gold metal bangle for those that want to conceal the FitBit tracker and go from the gym straight to a night out. There is also a silicone printed bracelet

for a more casual pop of color, which comes in both fuchsia and “Tory Navy”.

Bracelets aren’t your thing?

No fear, there is also a pendant gold necklace similar to the bangle for those who would prefer something around their necks instead of their wrists.

Prices for these stylish pieces start at $38 for the silicone bracelet and then go north to just shy of $200 for the gold bangle and pendant. Pre-order has already started, with a ship-out date set for Oct. 30.

Former Mustang to play ball overseas ANDREW hATTERSLEY Contributing Writer ahattersley@smu.edu The former SMU forward Akil Simpson left for Den Helder, 45 minutes outside of Amsterdam, Monday to embark on a new chapter of her life.

“I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I was hoping I could further my basketball career somewhere,” Simpson said. ”So when I graduated, I was working out and just staying in shape, and the opportunity presented itself.”

The former SMU player was quick to credit all her experiences at SMU that helped her prepare for this moment.

“I learned at SMU really good people skills because SMU is so diverse and I’ll be able to talk to different people and interact with different people of all walks of life.”

Simpson’s family held a farewell party in Desoto with her closest friends and family on Friday.

Those at the party were not surprised that Simpson received an opportunity to further her career.

Marchelle Harris Wright, Simpson’s aunt, always knew her hard work would pay off one day.

“Of course, she’s been playing basketball ever since she was a little girl; she’s always had the drive and the power to succeed,” Wright said.

Karen Simpson, Simpson’s aunt, was also not surprised by how far Simpson has come.

“I thought it was all possible because she is an overachiever and gives 110 percent to anything that she does, so she’s capable of doing anything,” Karen said.

Wright was just as quick to attribute Simpson’s success to her personality as she was to credit

SMU for all they have done.

“I think it has helped her grow academically, as well as athletically,” Wright said. “But I think she entered knowing who she was and what she was capable of doing, and they just pushed it and drove her and gave her that force to do all of that.”

As big of an accomplishment as Simpson has made, she is certainly aware of some of the challenges that lie ahead of her

as well.

“My biggest adjustment is that I’m going to have to learn Dutch,” Simpson said. “So I might have to get a Rosetta Stone or something like that, so I think that is the biggest adjustment I am going to have to make.”

Simpson was also quick to note that while excited, she is nervous to see what the future holds for her.

“I’m very excited. It can be a little scary. I am a little nervous, but it’s exciting. I’m going to play basketball which is something I love to do and play in front of people who are going to scream my name in another language, so I’m excited,” Simpson said.

Simpson is not afraid of this and is certainly excited to get together with her new teammates.

“I think that’s the most exciting part, getting to meet new teammates that maybe don’t have the same background as I do, not from the same city and places that I am,” Simpson said. “So to meet new people and play with different people and different girls is going to be really fun.”

Karen Simpson was quick to note that a trip across the pond is already in the works.

Karen was able to see Simpson play approximately 12 games while she was at SMU, but is excited for the opportunity to see her play again.

“We’re gonna watch, and we are going to try to take a trip over there,” Karen said.

SMU falls to Baylor 45-0 Patrick Engel Contributing Writer pengel@smu.edu SMU knew its season opener against Baylor would be a tough one, but the Mustangs thought they could play a competitive and close game in Waco. Instead, Baylor routed SMU 45-0 in one of SMU’s worst offensive performances of the June Jones era. SMU managed 67 total yards on 65 plays including negative 28 rushing yards. The Mustangs also gained just 7 first downs.

Baylor jumped out to a 24-0 in the first quarter with quarterback Bryce Petty leading the way despite suffering a back injury early in the game. He subsequently struggled with his accuracy and touch, but still threw for 161 yards and accounted for three touchdowns. He did not return to the game in the second half and was later diagnosed with two cracked transverse processes in his back.

“It’s nothing that serious.

Everything’s good,” Petty said after the game. “I’m already feeling a lot better.”

Baylor still racked up 574 yards on offense, 261 of which came on the ground.

The Bears were given short fields because of SMU’s offensive mistakes, which helped them quickly put the game away.

SMU’s offensive line struggled the most, allowing eight sacks versus Baylor’s relentless pressure.

“We scripted a lot of things to get the ball out quickly but we did not do what we needed to do to win,” SMU head coach June Jones said. “It’s hard for a quarterback to step back and throw anything when he doesn’t have time.”

Neal Burcham started at quarterback and was under siege, but he did not turn the ball over.

Matt Davis also saw time at quarterback and was flustered even more by the lack of protection. He threw a ball up for grabs while trying to avoid a sack, but Baylor cornerback Xavien Howard intercepted it.

“I had planned on playing two quarterbacks, and I knew it was a limited package for Matt and what he wanted to do,” Jones said. “When our protection broke down, I could tell he was not sure of what he was doing. He didn’t have a chance.”

Kolney Cassel relieved Davis and Burcham in the fourth quarter. The three SMU

quarterbacks threw for 91 yards and averaged a paltry 2.3 yards per pass.

SMU’s longest passing play went for 15 yards, and only two others topped 10 yards.

SMU’s goal was to play bendbut-don’t-break defense, and for the most part it did.

The Mustangs clamped down in the red zone and forced Baylor to attempt three field goals, two of which were missed.

Baylor also started two possessions inside the SMU 6 yard line and scored touchdowns on both, but not without a fight from SMU. Baylor also committed 11 penalties.

“I thought we played really hard [on defense], and our defensive line and front seven was pretty good,” Jones said. “We ran out of gas there at the end when we put the backups in, but all in all I thought the D-line played hard and linebackers played hard.

I thought we did a good job except for a couple that got loose.”

SMU’s defense still has room for improvement, especially in the young secondary. But better offensive line play must be the focus for the Mustangs as they prepare for Saturday’s road game at the University of North Texas.

SMU Volleyball opens against San Francisco SMU Volleyball opened its season against San Francisco falling 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-16) on Friday night.

Standout Caroline Young ended with 11 kills while Kristen Stehling finished with eight.

Abbey Bybel recorded a teamhigh 12 digs with four kills, while Avery Acker scored a doubledouble with 32 assists and 10 digs. The Dons pulled away with 59 digs to SMU’s 46; Mustangs Mordan Heise and Cailin Bula each had nine digs.

The Mustangs came out

strong against Georgia Saturday, taking a 4-1 victory after winning three straight sets. Bybel had 11 kills and nine digs, while Janelle Giordano had 11 kills with four blocks. Heise had 22 digs, only two away from her career high.

Acker went on to score her second double-double of the season, posting 42 assists and 10 digs. Acker matched Stehling with a team-high five blocks.

The Mustangs finished strong after their 3-0 victory over Fordham in its final match.

Bybel recorded a match-high 12

kills and 14 digs for a double double. Young finished with 10 kills, while Lauren Mills had seven and Acker had 35 assists and seven digs.

The Mustangs will host the SMU Doubletree Invite this weekend. Each team will have an opening match on Friday. SMU will go on to play Texas Southern and Oklahoma on Saturday.

You can cheer on your Mustangs as they host Georgia Tech in Moody Coliseum on Friday night at 7 p.m.

The celebrity wedding hype campbell flemmons Associate Online Editor cflemmons@mail.smu.edu

Actress Jennifer Lawrence was one of the many celebrities whose photos have been leaked by the iCloud hacker.

Celebrity nude leak demonstrates why you shouldn’t send naked photos olivia nguyen Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu It is reported that an unidentified hacker has notoriously hacked into more than one hundred celebrities’ iCloud accounts and obtained their nude photos.

The famous stars include Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Selena Gomez and Kirsten Dunst.

Lawrence and Upton, the two most prominent names that have been searched from the leak have both released statements saying that they are pursuing legal action against the perpetrator.

The FBI released a statement yesterday saying, “The FBI is aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter,” the statement said. “Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time.”

The level of personal invasion that this hacker has caused exceeds multiple boundaries.

The man who alledgedly tracked celebrities’ iCloud photo accounts managed to find photos that were apparently deleted years prior.

Celebrity Mary Elizabeth Winstead released a statement on Twitter saying, “Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only image the creepy effort that went into this.”

She continued, “Feeling for everyone who got hacked.”

There is no excuse for purposely exploiting private content of others; however, this situation could have been prevented if these photos were never taken.

With social media dominating this era, apps such as Snapchat and Gaggle make it easy for people in relationships to exchange personal photos without them being saved or permanently available.

What users don’t know is that all data that is sent or searched is saved somewhere in ones iCloud or cache, even if its from years ago.

It may seem harmless to send a sexy photo to your significant other, but the consequences that

follow can haunt you.

For example, Disney princess Vanessa Hudgens was a teen icon after her success with the High School Musical series until the release of her naked photos that she had sent to an ex-boyfriend years ago.

The 2007 scandal resurfaced again in 2009 when which she released a public statement apologizing.

She still recounts the incident and in a 2013 interview she said she “regrets taking those photos” and that it was “by far the worst moment in [her] career.”

Most of us will realistically not become famous.

A select few are fortunate enough to obtain such success in the acting, modeling or music industry in LA. But the consequences these public figures have faced could happen to any of us, on a smaller scale, of course.

For instance, once you have graduated college you’ll be looking for a job.

You’ll not only be interviewed, but you’ll be Googled, Facebook stalked and searched on many other social media platforms.

By some off chance, if a raunchy photo appears from your teen or young adult years, it will be very unlikely that you’ll be hired.

The internet today makes it seem as if we can erase every mistake that we’ve ever made instantaneously. We can clear our history, delete embarrassing or inappropriate Facebook posts from 2006, and untag ourselves from unattractive photos in seconds.

But your past will haunt you. That distasteful joke you made can be seen by your future bosses along with the photos you were unwillingly tagged in that time you passed out at a party.

Moreover, personal photos that you choose to take and send to people will be saved, and can be used later on against you. The best way to avoid this embarrassing and shameful incident is to never partake in it at all.

Nguyen is majoring in business and minoring in journalism.

We are obsessed with celebrity weddings. When one occurs, it is the only topic of conversations for weeks.

We want to know every single detail of the event, which makes sense, considering the extravagance of the affair.

Celebrities have access to the finest designers, event planners and caterers, and they have the freedom of designing the perfect wedding.

Thanks to the Internet and magazines, we now have access to the many details of these events and we are able to feel like we are part of them.

The Kardashians are notorious for over sharing personal details.

So, it’s only natural to expect a fully televised wedding special that reveals the innermost details of the event.

On Sunday, the world was invited to Kim and Kanye’s wedding. Viewers were able to experience every single moment leading up to the ceremony and the moments after.

While some might see this wedding as tacky or too revealing, the televised wedding generally pleases us as a culture.

We get to pretend we are in this extravagant world and we see how celebrities throw an event.

In this world, no detail is left unseen, and we are fully immersed into a dream wedding.

More often than not, celebrities choose a more discreet route. They simply release professional

photos in a magazine.

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince were the cover story for Vogue’s September issue in 2011. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently shared their wedding photos in this month’s People.

These magazine spreads serve as a wedding photo album for the world to see. Celebrity couples are allowed to keep the event intimate and personal while sharing pictures from the events.

This way, we get to see the best moments of the wedding without actually having been there. Unlike a Kimye special, we don’t feel that we are part of the wedding itself. We feel like we’re browsing a wedding album on Facebook of a childhood friend.

Of course, there are always the secret weddings.

Celebrities occasionally have the ability to choose how much they divulge about their nuptials.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Leighton Meester and Adam Brody are all examples of couples with very little information regarding their weddings.

But that does not stop our curiosity. There are numerous gossip sites divulging the rumors about these weddings. Even when we don’t know anything about the event, we are still enraptured by the possibilities and the fantasy celebrity wedding.

Celebrity weddings allow us to live out our greatest wedding-related fantasies. We see what it would be like to have the custom dress, the most beautiful flowers and the best food available.

Many of us will not be able to spend millions on a glamorous wedding, but these celebrity weddings let us know what it would be like.

Media: don’t abuse the word abuse Demetrio teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu With so many players already receiving suspensions for the 2014 NFL season due to the use of PED’s (performance enhancing drugs) and illegal substances, one would think that players would exercise better discretion when attending social events and parties.

However, Tuesday, Denver Broncos’ slot receiver Wes Welker was suspended for four games for violating the NFL’s performing enhancing drug policy when he tested positive for “Molly.”

Welker’s suspension marks the NFL’s 29th related to the use of illegal substance or PED’s, compared to the two players suspended for “conduct detrimental to the league.”

Ravens running back Ray Rice is one of the two suspended for reasons other than the use of banned substances, and his suspension has been one of the more controversial.

Rice has been suspended for four games because of his arrest for domestic violence. Many NFL fans were angered by the shortness of his suspension when compared to Cleveland receiver Josh Gordon’s one year suspension for substance abuse.

The NFL received so much backlash for its inconsistent and

seemingly arbitrary disciplinary policies that it amended its domestic abuse policy- resulting in a six-game ban following the first offense and a lifetime ban after the second offense.

I say, good on NFL commissioner Rodger Goodell and the NFL for recognizing its fan base’s discontent and reacting accordingly.

However, I am disappointed in the media and their coverage of the NFL’s suspensions, including the specificality of Rice.

I wrote a piece back when the Rice incident occurred, stating that it is never okay for a man to hit a woman- the exception being if his life or others’ lives are in serious danger.

I stand by that sentiment.

I do think Rice should have received a greater suspension.

I do not, however, think his offense should be compared to substance abuse.

The general sentiment regarding Rice’s suspension was, ‘Why is the NFL considering substance abuse a more serious offense than domestic violence.”

The problem with this comparison was that those expressing their discontent often referred to Rice as a ‘woman beater’ and his case as one of domestic abuse rather than one of assault which is unfair.

All we know is that he hit his fiancee once, and knocked

her unconscious, and as bad as that is on its own, if you couple it with the word “abuse” you add the negative connotations of reoccurring violence, and it seems even worse.

Rice’s name has now become synonymous with domestic violence. He lost his cool once and made a terribly stupid mistake and he should pay for it.

However, he has been pegged as a ‘woman beater’ and I honestly don’t think he should be.

Words have a very powerful effect on our minds and dispositions.

As journalists, we have a responsibility to use our words with the utmost discretion because they reach a much wider audience than most people.

Just the other day, a professor told me to be careful with my use of the word ‘legend’ in profiles because it leads the reader to believe that the subject has done something great.

When in turn, we should be cautious using words like “abuse” and “abusive” because they carry their own connotations.

I do not excuse Rice and his actions but I don’t agree in accusing him of abusive behavior without proof of reccurring violence directed toward women.

SMU students take the stage in DTC’s ‘Rocky Horror’ Madeleine Boudreaux

A&E Editor mboudreaux@smu.edu

“Rocky Horror Picture Show” premieres at the Dallas Theater Center next Thursday, and two SMU senior theatre students will be dancing along the stars. Ryan Patrick McLaughlin and Ian Stack chatted with The Daily Campus about pink lederhosen, sexual impulses and rivers of sweat.

Daily Campus: What does “Rocky Horror Show” mean to you?

Ryan Patrick McLaughlin: I think it means a whole bunch of things to me because I grew up watching the movie and doing the ‘Time Warp’ in my living room.

Then, when I was far too young, I went to one of the midnight premieres. Now that I’m a more grown human, it means all sorts of other things as well. So, it’s all the fun of my childhood and the weird quirky wonderful stuff that’s in the movie, but also—and this is something that our director Joel Ferrell talks about—it creates this really incredible safe space for people who are “othered” in some way. And I think that’s really important.

Ian Stack: My mom told me when I told her that I was cast in this, “Oh that’s one that you’ve always wanted to do!” …But besides wanting to be in it for me, I find it interesting that we’re doing it now because if you look back in the 60s, the things that were taboo

then are still pretty taboo now.

And I think that’s pretty crazy that in 40 years we haven’t really changed anything. I think the ‘Rocky Horror’ of our generation is the Lady Gaga ‘Born This Way’ era, so for me it’s been fun to bring those people to ‘Rocky Horror’ because I think they’re kind of the same story.

DC: What roles do you play?

Stack: I play one of the phantoms, an ensemble Transylvanian. I’m

an amalgamation of weird things that don’t fit together. Like, I am a feminine soldier who has some blue skin and really likes shaking his ass.

McLaughlin: And I’m a little German boy who wears, as I like to call them, pink hot-pants lederhosen. Fun is an insufficient word for that.

Stack: My favorite part is getting to release every sexual, crazy impulse I have.

McLaughlin: (laughs) Of course that’s your favorite part!

Stack: And there can be no judgment. If I want to shake what my momma and daddy gave me then I get to do that.

McLaughlin: One of the things I’m most excited about is that there is so much audience participation with this movie, as a cult classic with the midnight premiers, and for me that is totally married to the work [at DTC]. Is that going to happen at the Dallas Theatre Center? The answer is YES. I am so over-the-moon excited to see how that manifests each night differently with different people, with people who haven’t seen it since 1980 but remember everything, people who still go to [the midnight premieres] to this day and people who have never seen ‘Rocky Horror’ in any way whatsoever. It’s going to be great.

It exploits that which theater has to offer which is unique, which is that we are in the room with you.

DC: How is going to be different than the movie?

Stack: One of the ways it’s going to be different is that there really is no escaping our involvement with you because the stage is essentially in the round. There are people sitting onstage, and then there’s a big thrust into the audience. The only way you’re going to be able to avoid contact with us is if you’re high in the balconies.

McLaughlin: And even there, there are ladders! The other thing that Joel Ferrell says about how it’s different is, “The movie can’t talk back. We can.” And each night is going to be different. Each audience is different and each performer is different in terms of what they’re bringing into the room as well, so it’s a really unique and exciting theatrical event because it’s live.

Stack: One of the things I’m most excited about too is that we have a couple Friday night midnight performances, so just the crowd that that is going to bring out is going to be very [exciting]…I mean, we have no idea what’s going to happen, which is really kind of exciting.

DC: Are you encouraging people to dress up?

Stack: I mean, hell, we may pull someone onstage, because if someone were dressed up enough, I’d want everyone to see it.

DC: What parts of the show should SMU students be most excited about coming to see?

McLaughlin: If you want the answer to that question, you should come see the show.

Stack: Most people know what it is already, and it’s not often done by a big Equity regional theater on the scale it’s being done.

McLaughlin: I guess what I would say to an SMU student is, “This is going to be an incredibly fun evening of theater. You will come, you will laugh, you will sing along, you will leave and you will have had an incredible 90 minutes

of your life.

DC: What is it like working at a large Equity regional theater?

McLaughlin: It’s an incredible gift. The opportunity for us to be in the room is wonderful, and, specifically, this cast is so generous and so kind that it really creates a space where you can create honestly.

Stack: I can’t imagine doing this show and not having a wonderfully close and open, loving cast because we’re all touching each other and up on each other.

McLaughlin: It’s also good to walk in the room everyday and have the sense that everyone in the room knows what they’re doing.

You walk into the room and you’re like, “Wow. Liz Michael is a star.

She’s on ‘Friday Night Lights’.

And Julie Johnson is the voice of Baby Bop in ‘Barney’; she’s a star. And you’re in the room with these people and they really know what they’re doing. Certainly as a college student, it’s exciting to be in the room and to be demanded to rise up, to walk in and really commit and really learn, and it does exactly that. It really enables you to learn from the experience.

DC: What is the hardest part for you about being in this show?

McLaughlin: Girl, I’m dancing.
