Student reports possible hate crime Staff Reports
BEN OHENE / The Daily Campus
Reverend Jim Lawson speaks to law students following his keynote speech at the Civil Rights Symposium on Friday.
Lawson talks civil rights
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, a resident student in the Cockrell-McIntosh residence hall at 5904 Bishop Blvd. reported property damage to his room as a hate crime. An email to students said the “incident is being investigated by the SMU Police Department as criminal mischief and as a possible hate crime based on racial bias.” University President R. Gerald Turner submitted an open letter to the SMU Student Body through The Daily Campus addressing the incident and the larger issues of intolerance that pervade the SMU community. In the letter sent to The Daily Campus and featured today on page 4, Turner calls upon the student body to “urge any who do not embrace our values of respect for all to broaden their opinions if they wish to remain a part of this University community.”
Reverend, professors discuss continuing fight for economic justice Tim Welch Contributing Writer twelch@smu.edu August marked the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, an iconic event of the Civil Rights Movement in the 20th century. Many scholars and leaders of that movement stress that the struggle for civil rights did not end with King’s speech, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act or even the election of President Barack Obama. Civil rights, they argue, are still being fought for today. On Friday, Dedman Law School and the Perkins School of Theology partnered up to present a symposium entitled “The End of Civil Rights in America?” The purpose of the symposium was to examine economic justice through the lens of both law and religion. Many civil rights leaders, notably
King, often channeled the teachings of religion as a foundation for their push for legal and social equality for minorities. But many forget that King and others also wanted economic justice and fairness for minorities, for whom poverty had become a de facto form of slavery in society. Eliot Shavin, a Dedman law professor, acknowledged that the title of the seminar may be shocking. He then went on to discuss Franklin Roosevelt’s “Second Bill of Rights,” which stated that all workers have the right to earn enough money to support themselves and their families. After President Roosevelt’s death, Shavin said, his wife Eleanor helped draft the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in which Article 23 states that all people have rights to protection against unemployment, equal pay for equal work, and joining and forming unions. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, these rights have
been criticized and legally abridged. For this reason, the message of King’s work in the 1950s and ‘60s still resonates today, Shavin said. Shavin finished his presentation by saying that elections matter, that to achieve the goals of the Roosevelts’ rhetoric, “it required courageous people to take to the lunch counters, to take to the streets of Washington.” After lunch was served, the event’s keynote speaker, Reverend Jim Lawson, was introduced. Lawson, a Methodist pastor, was a close friend of King, and is a civil rights activist in his own right as an early practitioner of nonviolent resistance, which he learned while doing missionary work in India in the early 1950s. Lawson considers himself “not a civil rights leader, but a retired pastor,” and cites this as the reason for his activism, saying that “a pastor cannot divorce himself from his people’s plight.” He said the notion that the United States is comprised of a
people of law is a myth, that “we must now establish the Constitution as the value system of the nation, politically.” Turning the lectern into a pulpit, Lawson said that “we now need a new legal strategy, because resistance against the struggle for civil rights has organized in a fashion never before seen. Whether they call themselves Republicans, members of the Tea Party or hedge fund investors, […] they are the forces of spiritual wickedness.” Lawson then described the significance of the events of the Civil Rights Movement, such as the boycott of the Montgomery Bus Co., the Freedom Riders and the March on Washington, as examples of the power of nonviolent resistance, which, Lawson said, is a major tactic of the “strategized campaign for change.” “If we can ignite 21st-century struggles with nonviolence, we can show that the status-quo of today will not last,” Lawson said.

SMU, U ARISE host 40 days of prayer Leah Johnson Contributing Writer leahj@smu.edu Beginning Sept. 6, SMU via U ARISE will host Arise and Pray, a 40-day prayer movement, to pray for college students at SMU and across the nation. It will be located at the U ARISE building off McFarlin Boulevard. U ARISE and the Arise and Pray Movement carry a mission to help students who are struggling and help them find their identities. “Prayer is the one thing we can all do that we know will make a difference in the atmosphere of the college campus,” said Vicki Garza, U ARISE president and co-founder, in a press release. “By coming together in one accord with one voice, we believe we can touch the heart of God to intervene in the lives of these students. Just as importantly, by praying with a focus to help others, we are the ones who
ultimately see a transformational change in our own hearts and lives.” Each day covers a different prayer topic including addiction, sexual brokenness, worry and perfectionism. Prayer Captain for Arise and Pray Audrey Addo said, “I believe in the power of prayer and I know prayer can change things. I’m a living example of the power of prayer and the love of Jesus.” Addo said prior to college she didn’t know her identity because of rejection and a dysfunctional family and was seeking love in the wrong places. After searching, she felt the only way to fill the void was to embrace who she was created to be in Christ. She has felt true joy ever since, Addo said. Each evening, a Christian leader will lead prayer at 6 p.m. at the U ARISE space. Speakers include leaders such as: Paul Dhinakaran of Jesus Calls, Stephen Rankin, current chaplain and interim
Calling the event “disturbing and disappointing,” Turner said these “serious violations of basic human values should...result in our collective recommitment to our goal” of a community built on “a strong sense of mutual respect.” Police are asking for anyone with information to contact the SMU Police Department at 214-768-3388. Information can also be reported anonymously, either by phone or online, through the SMU Police Department’s Silent Witness Program, at 214-SMU-2TIP or www.smu.edu/2TIP. Students who witness hate crimes on campus can report the incident to the SMU Police Department, the Dean of Student Life Office or their Resident Assistant. SMU also offers professional help through the Counseling and Psychiatric Services and the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. For more information please visit smu.edu/LiveResponsibly.

Emily Sims News Writer esims@smu.edu When Stacy Cherones and Robert Foster came to SMU’s Associate Professor of Communication Studies Owen Lynch for help designing a study on food deserts, none of them knew the extent of the project they were about to tackle. “We identified a problem from a community perspective so then we had to form a solution,” Lynch said. “Because no one
else was doing it and no one else was going to do it we felt like, ‘OK somebody’s got to do it,’ so we did.” Cherones was advising an SMU ethics design team that conducted a social-scientific study of a South Dallas food desert, an area whose residents have limited access to fresh, healthy food.

Fighting the ‘freshman 15’ Samantha Peltier Health and Fitness Editor speltier@smu.edu One of the best things about college is the fact that you finally get to dictate your own life. For about 18 years your parents have probably been filling your life with home cooked meals and labor intensive sports. Now that you are in your first year of college it is time to take responsibility for creating your own healthy routine. If you fall for the temptation of greasy fast food and a sedentary lifestyle, you might be on the path to gaining the dreaded freshman 15. Here are a few tips to help you restrain your newfound power and create a college life that doesn’t involve gaining 15 or more pounds in your first year.
Dining When you step into Umphrey Lee the first thing you might notice is the smell of freshly baked goods or the burgers and pizza spread out for the taking. If you are serious about not gaining the freshman 15 you might want to take a second and think through your dietary needs. Late night outings or a crammed class schedule can turn even the strongest willed health addict into a fast food junky. But
take a deep breath and remember that Umphrey Lee is only a short walk from your dorm or a quick stop on your way to class. Scheduling a few minuets before or after class to grab an apple or banana will cut your cravings for greasy fast food. When you find time to sit down and enjoy a good meal, you might want to try one of the hottest food trends. The Paleo Diet is all about going back to your ancestors’ hunting and gathering diet and you can easily find all of its necessities at Umph. This diet requires you to lower your carbohydrate and fat intake while increasing the amount of protein, specifically lean meats, and vegetables you eat. The salad bar is the perfect place to load up your plate with fresh veggies, but be careful of salad dressings with deceptively high calorie counts. Caesar dressing can have as many as 150 calories and 8 carbs. Balsamic and Greek dressings are a smarter choice because their calorie count usually stays below 100. Just because it has salad in the name doesn’t mean that the dressing is healthy. You should also think about grabbing some healthy protein as well. A classic grilled or herb roasted chicken breast is always good for you. Most people like to eat this

with a side roll or in a sandwich, but be sure to leave the bread off of your plate. Breads and starchy vegetables like potatoes are filled with carbs and, if eaten often, can increase your pant size. Substitute your carbs with lots of veggies or a tasty piece of fruit.
Drinking Most dining on campus has at least one soda machine and multiple ways to get your hands on an energy drink. These caffeinated drinks hide away unnecessary sugars and calories. Caffeine is a good way to help you stay up late to cram in a lastminute essay, but it isn’t so great on your waistline. If you need to feel the tingly sensation of caffeinated bubbles, go for a diet version of your favorite drink, but water is the safest answer if you are watching your weight. It not only has zero calories, but can also help your skin look fresh and hydrated. To all of the students that are above the age of 21, you might not realize how many calories are hiding in your favorite alcoholic beverage. One serving of beer, on average, can hold 154 calories while one glass of wine generally has 120 calories. There is also a shock factor when you think about the amount of calories in a shot of liquor;

up the same or similar workout routine you might notice a change in your body. One of the best ways to fight the freshman 15 is by heading over to Dedman and jumping on a cardio machine (i.e. treadmill, elliptical, bike). It’s important to get your heart rate up during a cardio workout. You’ll notice that your breathing becomes heavier and you begin to sweat. Just remember that the harder you work, the more calories you burn. The greatest thing about a cardio workout routine is that it
takes less time for your body to recover from so you can do cardio most days of the week. To keep your routine from getting boring, don’t be afraid to try different exercises on different days. Maybe on Mondays head out to the Katy Trail for a jog, on Wednesdays use the elliptical and on Fridays get on the stationary bike. Some people find the hardest part of a healthy lifestyle is first starting it. Once you get in a routine you will notice how making healthy decisions becomes second nature.

group of 12 high school students from Lincoln High School known as the Turner Twelve, a South Dallas based student mentoring program. The team wanted to find solutions inside the community rather than outside. With that in mind, Lynch designed a study that would help the community understand the problem and come up with their own ideas of how to fix it. He asked the high school students, “What is healthy?” To answer the question, students were told to take pictures of what their idea of healthy was in their neighborhood. “From that we realized for that community healthy was more than just access to food,” Lynch said, “it was knowledge of food, it was ability to cook the food, it was the ability to have a healthy community around the food.” It was their findings that led to the founding of Get Healthy Dallas, their research based nonprofit, where Cherones currently serves as president, Foster as vice president and Lynch as a board member. Get Healthy Dallas (GHD) partnered with DISD and developed the Entrepreneurial Culinary Arts Program (ECAP) that is debuting at Lincoln High School in South Dallas. Realizing that a food desert is also a lack of community resources and job opportunities is what led them to the conception of ECAP. “We came up with the idea for the academy within the school because the school is where you have the people in the most need,” Lynch said. “You have the obesity rates in the school and you also
have kids dropping out of school without jobs.” Rather than just teach the students about nutrition, ECAP takes it one step further. Lincoln High School will be home to a new demonstration kitchen, professional kitchen and studentrun restaurant. ECAP will not only teach students about healthy eating, but will also provide them with hands-on experience in the culinary arts. The restaurant, serving only locally grown food, is not just available to students but the entire community. If ECAP is successful at Lincoln, Lynch hopes this program might serve as a model for food deserts in other cities. However, there are still some steps that need to be taken to get the project fully off the ground, like funding. Rather than use professionals, the team looked to SMU students. “It’s an opportunity to take some of the best students SMU has with requisite skill sets and help them apply what they’ve learned in class and the skills they’ve developed while studying towards a good goal,” Lynch said. Lynch opened COMM 5303 as a capstone course for the fall semester and now has a class of 14 students from the communication studies, advertising, and journalism departments. Senior communication studies and Spanish major An Phan took this class to apply the skills she’s learned to a real-life company. “I’m excited to see our efforts help this company grow,” Phan said. The course is broken up into three different projects: individual, class, and group. The individual project has each student designing a fundraising event while the class project is to plan and
execute a public event launching the fundraising campaign for the Lincoln ECAP program. Group projects cover everything from donor relations to logos and branding. “This class gives us the opportunity to work with a campaign from the ground up, applying everything we’ve learned and get to see the tangible results as a school gets formed,” said English, communication studies and PR major Chelsea Grogan ‘15. “Getting to be apart of the solution to a serious societal need is amazing.” Although they knew they would benefit from utilizing the skills of the students, Cherones and Lynch also believed the students would benefit from being a part of this program. Cherones and Lynch hope being a part of this program will make SMU students aware of their privileges and to see the vast inequalities between the two parts of Dallas. “We aren’t saying people should look at their opportunities and say ‘oh I have so much I should feel guilty’ but ‘I have so much I should feel blessed and I should feel obligated to help’ and that’s an education that SMU students should have,” Lynch said. Considering this is an experimental program that hasn’t been done before in Meadows, Lynch and the team are grateful to everyone who has taken the chance with them. “We want to thank the community in itself, DISD who has partnered with us and thank Jose Bowen who is supporting this capstone course along with the chairs in each department of journalism, advertising and communication studies,” Lynch said.

Applied physiology lab makes use of new tablet technology Diana Mansour Contributing Writer dvmansour@smu.edu Three hours is a long time. Spend them looking at different pictures in a textbook of the human body and you might stop paying attention. When the textbook picture looks nothing like the specimen you have to work with, you’re likely to lose interest. How do you enhance a threehour applied physiology laboratory experience? SMU has turned to technology to answer that question. Applied Physiology and Wellness Professor Scott L. Davis applied for a technology grant last spring. He worked with Info Commons Tech Coordinator and Touch Learning Center Manager Tyeson V. Seale to discover the 3D4Medical.com applications for iPads. Now the applied physiology department has four applications for their 25 iPads: Brain & Nervous Pro, Heart Pro, Muscle System Pro and Skeletal System Pro all designed by 3D4Medical.com in conjunction with Stanford University School of Medicine. These applications show the different parts of the human

even showed up, “we had to turn them away,” Weber said. Program Council has been producing fairly popular events so far this year – their Aaron Carter event brought a crowd of about 1,200 people to the flagpole. Josh Medeiros, a transfer student from a state college, enjoyed the variety of entertainment, “It’s definitely got more events than community
college, and I went to another state school before and this is way better.” Geenah Krisht, the president of Program Council, is very excited about the turnout this year. A lot of work goes into planning an event like this, and all Program Council activities are entirely student run. “A combination of the food and hanging out with other people” attracted the number of people to Park ‘n Party, and “because there are not a lot of
things on campus that bring a bunch of the student body together,” Krisht said. Program Council’s goal is “definitely to bring the students together to start loving the SMU community. We really want students to appreciate community,” Krisht said. Program Council is working on more events for the SMU student body this semester like free pre-screening of unreleased films, a Thanksgiving dinner and possibly a Halloween event.

anatomy and how they work and move from different angles. “You see a lot of the students spend more time with the iPad animation than they would with a static model or the book, which translates to increased knowledge.” said Kelyn Rola, applied physiology laboratory instructor. Technology is not new to the applied physiology department. Before purchasing these applications, students used a computer-based cadaver software that let them see specific cuts of the human body. However, it was not interactive and only showed a 2D view. The ultimate goal for Davis and Rola would be to have human cadaver access for students to see and touch. However, because typically only medical schools can have human cadavers, the new applications serve as an alternate. Even though these applications cannot substitute for the official classroom textbook, they serve as an interactive tool to help students better understand the different human systems. One of the big advantages of the applications is the animation. With Muscle System Pro III, students can
actually see real time movements of a selected muscle from two different angles. With Heart Pro, students can see the heart, its different chambers, how the blood flows and the heart beating in real time. Seale explained that it is also a good investment for students on their own iPads. Most of these applications cost $19.99, which is cheaper than most textbooks and they will update themselves as needed. Also, by having these apps on their personal iPads, they can get familiar with the systems at home, do exercises and even quiz themselves on their knowledge, Davis said. “If you want to buy it, you have it. If not, you can still go use it in the TLC,” Davis said. As part of an investment decision to move forward in the technology world the Central University Libraries and the Office of Information Technologies purchased 15 iPads two years ago. These iPads can be lent out to students for a maximum of four hours. They each include $150 worth of applications in different areas of interest, including these from 3D4Medical.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear SMU Community:
In my remarks at the Convocation ceremony on August 25, I discussed the implications of our new branding, World Changers Shaped Here. My goal in those remarks was to underscore how small but intertwined the world had become, as well as the fact that we hope to educate our students to change the world for the better. The obvious implication is the importance of our graduates being able to work effectively and comfortably with people from different economic backgrounds, cultures, nationalities, races and religions. I noted that those in the first-year class who came from schools that were very homogeneous in any one of these dimensions might be less experienced in developing this recognition and ability than would others who have grown up with more diverse schools and other experiences. The commitment to value people from all walks of life is crucial not only to one’s future success, but it is also the cornerstone of the community we seek to build at SMU. As a result, we have classes and experiences that will help students to understand and appreciate those from backgrounds divergent from their own. Therefore, it is both disturbing and disappointing to learn that some person or persons would subject a fellow classmate and a member of the SMU minority community (part of the more than 26% of minority students in the first-year class) to racist comments and actions within the student’s residential hall. This transgression of our Student Code of Conduct was shared with the University community on Saturday, Sept. 7, through a campus-wide e-mail alert. Such events simply should not happen on this campus and cannot be tolerated. Although the incident is still being investigated, through the SMU Police investigation and appropriate University conduct process, we will pursue diligently the
perpetrator(s). An obvious question is whether any individual who exhibits such behavior should be allowed to continue to be a part of the University community. Serious violations of basic human values should, however, result in our collective recommitment to our goal of developing a strong sense of mutual respect as the bedrock of the community that we all seek to build and maintain at SMU. Members of the first-year class and the general student body have to be the first on the frontlines of implementing this goal. Any student who might wish to engage in racially motivated or other devaluing actions or comments should learn quickly that fellow students do not share that perspective and do not support such behavior. If an action is intended to humiliate, demean or devalue another student, those closest to the situation are most able to discourage or even prevent such actions. It is up to all of us to urge any who do not embrace our values of respect for all to broaden their opinions if they wish to remain a part of this University community. An example of outstanding student leadership in this regard is the values statement recently adopted by the Student Senate: “I, as a citizen of the SMU Community, commit myself to upholding the values of intellectual integrity, academic honesty, personal responsibility, and sincere regard and respect for all SMU students, faculty and staff.” I call on the entire community, with a special emphasis on those who live in close proximity in our residential halls, to ensure that our community fully reflects a culture of acceptance for all members of our campus. I am proud that this is the predominant characteristic of our campus culture. We need to make it pervasive. R. Gerald Turner, President
food and drink
Learn to enjoy better beers w. tucker keene Managing Editor tkeene@smu.edu This past weekend I took my first ever trip to Austin. I know, it’s crazy that I’ve been going to SMU for four years and haven’t been to Austin until now, but I love Dallas and never saw a reason to leave. So why did I finally get to Austin? This was basically a beer run. And yes, it was worth driving three and a half hours each way just to get beer. I’m not talking about Natty Light or PBR or even Shiner Bock. I wouldn’t go near those beers. I’m talking about super rare, super exclusive craft beers from one of the most innovative and different breweries in America. Good beer is a truly wonderful thing, completely unlike the macrobrews that most college students drink on game day. Some of it is definitely an acquired taste. If you’re used to Bud Light, the funky, bracingly sour Belgian Gueuze would shock the palate. A hoppy and bitter Double IPA would likely repulse someone used to Corona. But it’s a taste worth acquiring. Good beer can be found cheap. A six pack of one of the best Hefeweizens in the world (a sweet, malty wheat beer characterized by intense “banana” and “clove” flavors) is available for barely more than a
six pack of Coors, and almost as easy to find too. With such a great beer scene in Dallas and with easy access to so much more than just what can be found on the boulevard, there really isn’t a good excuse not to expand your palate. The easiest place to start would be with a good Munich Helles Lager, like a Weihenstephaner Original. The malty, lightly hopped flavor profile would be similar to one of the American Lagers, but with much more depth and complexity. If you don’t like the traditional beer flavor, try something completely different, like a Framboise Lambic. It doesn’t taste anything like beer, but it does have a beautiful sweet-tart raspberry flavor. Like coffee and chocolate? Try a stout. Stouts are known to have lots of chocolate and coffee flavors, and when aged in bourbon barrels they take on even more complexity. There is a beer out there for everyone. With such distinct and unique flavors at such reasonable prices, the world of craft beer is an entirely new drinking experience. Once you go craft, you’ll never be able to drink a Miller Light again.

Singers Robin Thicke, left, and Miley Cyrus perform “Blurred Lines” at the MTV Video Music Awards in the New York borough of Brooklyn. Cyrus said in an interview clip that she doesn’t listen to the negative comments regarding her performance on the MTV Video Music Awards.
Sexist stigmas need to end lauren aguirre Copy Editor lcaguirre@smu.edu
There are too many harmful stigmas ingrained in our culture associated with sexuality. Unfortunately, our society praises men while shaming women for expressing any form of sexuality. Last month, everyone was talking about Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMAs. Most of the comments I saw complained about her skimpy outfit or criticized the fact that she was grinding on Robin Thicke, who is a married man. However, I saw virtually no comments that scolded Thicke for allowing Cyrus to grind on him. This situation is a perfect example of a troubling double standard: while a man’s sexuality is treated with a “boys will
be boys” attitude, a woman is shamed for showing any kind of sexual independence. In our culture, a man’s sexuality is fully accepted. It’s viewed as natural and something that should be explored. There is even a stigma associated with being a virgin male. Thicke escaped most of the scrutiny because of these expectations. On the other hand, a woman’s sexuality is taken with a grain of salt. If a woman expresses her sexuality in any way, she’s categorized as desperate or dirty. This is why Cyrus received most of the criticism. Now let’s take a step back. A sexualized performance is nothing new, and is usually expected on an MTV broadcast. In fact, the sexualization of women is a common occurrence in our culture. Too many advertisements use scantily clad women to sell their products. In most of the ads, the woman is there as a sexual object
to entice the buyer. This gross objectification is just wrong. Women are not merely sexual objects and neither is a woman’s worth tied to her sexuality. She doesn’t miraculously lose IQ points for having sex, and neither does she gain them by abstaining. Women are also pulled in several directions by the expectations of the dating game. The “friend zone” is a prime example. If a woman doesn’t seem immediately interested in a guy, she has supposedly put him in the “friend zone.” Basically, the man shouldn’t ever expect any kind of romantic or sexual relationship with her. Not only is this entire principle ridiculous, it is in complete contrast to the stigma associated with female sexuality. On the one hand, a woman is not supposed to express her sexual interest in
any way, and on the other, if she doesn’t immediately express her interest in someone pursuing her, then she never will be interested in that person. All of these expectations are unrealistic and harmful, to both men and women. Every single person has different thoughts and concerns about their own sexuality, and should be able to express it however they feel comfortable. A woman should be able to have all the safe and consensual sex she wants without being looked down upon. And a man shouldn’t be pressured into sex just to lose his v-card. Sexuality should be something that can be kept close or freely expressed, with no stigmas attached. Aguirre is a sophomore majoring in journalism and political science.

Nine Inch Nails returns with eighth album release Caleb wossen A&E Writer cwossen@smu.edu Nine Inch Nails eased itself back into discussion in an major way this year with its eighth studio album “Hesitation Marks.” This may come as a surprise to some following the band’s adventurous career. NIN lynchpin Trent Reznor put the band on hold to focus on side projects and film scoring, even managing to win a Grammy for his work on “The Social Network” (2010). Somewhere during Reznor’s trailblazing projects, though, Nine Inch Nails got lost in the mix. It’s a shame – the band’s landmark album “The Downward Spiral” (1994) introduced the marriage of nihilism and progress, freedom and slavery into pop music. Reznor left a powerful spell on the hearts and minds of music fans that’s still kicking. One would think Reznor, favorite producer of 2008’s beat laureate Timbaland, would have more of a presence in pop music. Well, now’s the time. The man whose impact David Bowie once compared to The Velvet Underground’s birth of a new noisy litter’s finally birthed some healthy babies of his own, in a manner of speaking. Most obnoxious on this list is
pop’s mischievous prince Kanye West. “Yeezus” (2013), the producer’s latest offering, owes part of its essence to Reznor. Harsh, clanging drums, citrusy pops over warm vocals and shrieks overtake “Yeezus,” a far cry from West’s former opulent persona. Here is someone with his back against the wall on multiple levels lashing out to a beat. Dueling themes of freedom and degradation find their way onto “Yeezus,” too. Reznor’s gone on record saying he doesn’t approve of the album’s lyrics, but what does it matter if he was there first? Let’s remember West’s recent VMA performance of “Blood on the Leaves” last August. Beams of light left our would-be hero in otherwise darkness pouting at the devil, not unlike Nine Inch Nails’ own dazzling, hateful shows. Death Grips exist on the other side of the spectrum here. The trio of Stephen “MC Ride” Burnett and producers Zach Hill and Andy “Flatlander” Morin. Whereas West is never without his pop aspirations, Death Grips is a bit harder to figure out. The band’s sound isn’t exactly radio ready – a bedlam of noises flying into each other like roided-out deaf kids. “MC Ride” barks pleas for absolute freedom in a style that recalls Public Enemy’s Chuck D. For a band with a relatively
small profile, Death Grips operate on a unexpectedly high level. Its highly anticipated third album, “No Love Deep Web” (2012), drew eyes with the hard penis posing on its cover. People were naturally stunned. The feedback from critics ruined the unlikely bond between Death Grips and major label Epic Records, forcing the group to leak the album itself from a hotel room. The Death Grips live experience is slowly evolving from an aggressive shouting match to something else entirely. On Aug. 3, 2013 Death Grips pull a no-show for its set at Lollapalooza. Instruments and other equipment were left for the audience to watch while music blared from speakers. Why? Death Grips wanted to have a show where the audience is the focal point, not the band. Audience members tore through the equipment in a rage. The band probably wouldn’t have it any other way. Death Grips’ antics bear the influence of Nine Inch Nails in a time where the old media machine has given way to the Internet. Fans of Death Grips may accuse West of biting styles for “Yeezus”, but all directions point to Reznor, a man whose career has lived to see its seeds take form while still banging out jams of his own.

Omega Delta Phi members perform onstage at the Multicultural Greek Council showcase Friday.
Multicultural Greek council showcases talent Caleb wossen A&E Writer cwossen@smu.edu The SMU Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) held their semesterly showcase Friday. Students shuffled down the aisles of Hughes-Trigg Theater around 7 p.m, casually anticipating the night to come. The SMU MGC showcase is an opportunity for students to get to know the fraternities and sororities and network. “It’s just all fun,” Abel Saenz, prospective member educator for Omega Delta Phi, said. “We just do it to get together as a group and bond.” By 7:30 p.m. the audience chatter fell silent under the word of MC Guadalupe Sanchez. Straight man Sanchez played off firecracker Angela Uno onstage, tossing quips back and forth to warm the crowd up. The five fraternities and sororities wowed the crowd with their tight dance routines and loose humor. Fraternities Omega Delta Phi and Sigma Lambda Beta “macho’ed out” the crowd with their powerful steps and throaty chants. One memorable moment was when Saenz evoked Hulk Hogan in a faux wrestling promotional video, flexing his muscles and growling incoherently to the crowd’s delight.
The sororities kept the energy going with their fluid choreography. Kappa Delta Chi earned applause for their ‘50s inspired dance jitters. Sigma Phi Omega and Sigma Lambda Gamma netted high cheers for their high energy performances. Throughout the show, audience members cheered the dancers on with “oohs!” and “Ah, I see you, _____!”. After all the dancers left the stage, Sanchez invited the audience to the cafeteria for pizza, beverages and a chance to meet the Greek organizations. The meeting soon gave way to more dancing thanks to DJ Lucky, mixing salsa, radio hits and the

Joseph emerges as go-to receiver in SMU victory Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu

SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert (11) engineered a game winning drive in SMU’s 31-30 win over MSU.
SMU beats Montana State 31-30 Billy Embody Sports Writer wembody@smu.edu SMU avoided a disaster when quarterback Garrett Gilbert threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Darius Joseph with 12 seconds left to give SMU the 3130 win over FCS Montana State. Montana State led for almost the entire game and was even up 22-5 at one point before SMU scored two touchdowns in the final 5:12 of the first half including a dazzling 55-yard punt return for a touchdown by true first-year JaBryce Taylor as the time expired in the first half. “It was a big play. I was thinking big return and I was getting the field goal team ready so if he had a big return, as we didn’t have a timeout, we would have had to run the field goal team on. But then he took it to the house, so that saved that problem,” SMU head coach June Jones said. “You have to have players make plays and he as a true [first-year] who got in there, caught the ball under pressure
and did some good things. He’s a great kid and really good football player.” At the start of the third quarter the Bobcats responded with a 75-yard touchdown drive, but SMU answered with a field goal. It was the defense, though, that buckled down for the rest of the game, holding Montana State scoreless the rest of the game. SMU was able to continue its comeback with another field goal in the fourth quarter by Chase Hover, who had three for the game, and then Gilbert capped off the comeback with his touchdown pass to Joseph. Gilbert was under pressure for most of the game again, being sacked four times, but completed 35-of-48 passes for 317 yards and one touchdown. During the game, Gilbert did a solid job and displayed some toughness after a few hits. “Watching him tonight, he stood in there a little bit more then he has in previous games. Even the very long throw that he completed to Jeremy [Johnson], in games past I think he would
have pulled it down and run because we didn’t block the edge. He just kind of slid and kept his vision, made a big play and then he took a hit,” Jones said. A nice surprise for this season has been the breakout of receiver Joseph, who totaled 12 receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown. Joseph is currently leading the team in receptions so it is no surprise that when he was on the receiving end of the game winning score. SMU now heads into a bye week before facing Texas A&M on the road, but will have to get to work to fix what’s wrong before the matchup with the Aggies. SMU should not have to worry about games like this at this point in the June Jones era, but it shows how SMU really has plateaued under Jones. With the bye week, SMU will have plenty of time to work and improve before the matchup against the Aggies. SMU will be a big underdog, but if there’s any chance for SMU to beat the Aggies it could be that week with Texas A&M coming off of their showdown against Alabama.
When the chips were down and SMU needed a big play, quarterback Garrett Gilbert turned to sophomore Darius Joseph and he delivered. With 12 seconds left in the game, Joseph brought down the game-winning touchdown catch and his 12th reception of the night. “[Joseph] did a great job of reading the coverage and making a second break,” Gilbert said. “He widened off the ball looking for it, I came to [him] quick and he read it. We both saw the same thing and he made a great catch.” Head coach June Jones said in the post game press conference that Joseph tends to be open when he makes his second break. In the past, Gilbert would have ran before Joseph had the chance to make his cut, but on Saturday, Gilbert waited a little longer and found the wide out often. While Jones was happy about Joseph’s performance, he thought the young receiver had plenty of missed opportunities to do more. “He had a couple of other chances to make some more plays and his numbers would even be bigger,” Jones said. “I was glad to see him in there because he’s worked really hard. I was glad to see him make that play. He did what he was supposed to do.” Joseph finished the night with 12 catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. His longest catch went for 27 yards.

Darius Joseph caught the game-winning touchdown against MSU Saturday.
“[Joseph] is a great athlete and has great hands,” Gilbert said. “Out of our four starters, he has the least experience, but we knew he would be able to do some good things for us. It’s good to see him out there having success and doing good things for us.”
In two games this year, Joseph has tallied 26 catches for 216 yards and one touchdown. The emergence of Joseph as an offensive weapon next to Jeremy Johnson creates a strong receiving duo that should provide more points for SMU this season.
