NEWS Briefs World SAUDI ARABIA— Key Arab allies promised Thursday to “do their share” to fight Islamic State militants, but NATO member Turkey refused to join in, signaling the struggle the U.S. faces in trying to get frontline nations to put aside their regional animosities and work together to defeat a common enemy. SIERRA LEONE— Another doctor from Sierra Leone who has tested positive for Ebola will be evacuated for medical treatment, an official said Thursday, making her the first citizen of a hard-hit country to be treated abroad.
National SALT LAKE CITY— A Utah elementary school teacher who was carrying a concealed firearm at school was struck by fragments from a bullet and a porcelain toilet when her gun accidentally fired in a faculty bathroom on Thursday, officials said. NEW YORK— The nation’s gathering war against a new upsurge in Islamic terror hung heavy over the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks Thursday, stirring both anxiety and determination among those who came to ground zero to remember their loved ones.

‘Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?’ HANAN ESAILI Online Editor hesaili@smu.edu A block of granite from the World Trade Center. The megaphone President George W. Bush used to speak to emergency rescue crews at Ground Zero. A dirty, tattered American flag. These pieces of history remind us of a horrible time in America’s life. These are just some of the artifacts that the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum brought out for a special one-day Sept. 11 exhibit. “What I notice on 9/11 is that it’s almost a different feel within the building. There’s more of a reverent sense within the facility. Definitely, folks are more reflective,” said John Orrell, public affairs specialist for the Library. The museum staff began the day of remembrance with a private moment with Laura
Bush. She posted a photo of the staff and herself surrounding the tower beams, which are a permanent installment in the museum, to her Facebook page with the caption: “This morning, the George W. Bush Presidential Center staff gathered for a moment of silence remembering those who lost their lives on September 11th. We think of them often and pray for those who risk their lives so we might never know terror again. May God continue to bless our country.” The special exhibit contained challenge coins from the New York Fire Department and the Pentagon, the American Flag that flew over the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on 9/11, a book of memories from the children of Emma E. Booker Elementary School where Bush was visiting that day 13 years ago, a lapel pin President Bush wore when touring the Pentagon after 9/11, and the permanent

the museum is especially proud that more and more school groups are visiting, especially on days like 9/11. “When we think about that age group they weren’t alive on Sept. 11. They have no firsthand memory of that day... the fact that they can come here and be educated on what happened
that day, from the viewpoint of the president, that’s one of our most important missions here,” he said. Visitors from all around Texas, and internationally, came to the museum and were overcome with emotion as they

Law school modernizes student services DEMETRIO TENIENTE Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu The rise of the Internet and social media has all but done away with traditional means of networking and job searching. The Dedman School of Law recognized that it needed to add newer and more modern programs and resources to supplement the services its offices have provided students for years. Dedman’s goal is to teach students how to better utilize tools they are already familiar with using in their every day life –– including Facebook and Twitter. However, the most notable addition to Dedman’s services is Lawcountability, JD –– a brand-new online platform created by nationally recognized speaker, and author of the book “The Opportunity Maker,” Ari Kaplan. Kaplan has teamed up with Dedman to make Lawcountability, JD available to all current students and recent graduates. “The program is designed to help them improve their networking skills, raise their profiles and learn effective ways to connect with potential employers,” Director of Office and Career Services Stephen Yeager said. Lawcountability, JD has students set goals for themselves and also sends the reminders to help them complete their goals. “In my experience people tend to have really good ideas, but then tend to not follow through,” Kaplan said. “So what Lawcountability, JD does is make students accountable for their goals by rewarding them
with points.” The program uses a gamelike point system that measures the activity of the student and compares it to their peers. Lawcountability, JD uses 10-minute webinars that cover a wide range of topics such as Cultivating Your Personal Brand, Investing in Informational Interviews, Mastering the Mechanics of Marketing, Getting Out of the Classroom to Get Into the Profession and Leveraging LinkedIn. The Dedman School of Law has also subscribed to InterviewStream, which is an online program that simulates job and legal interviews. Students have 24/7 access to InterviewStream and can schedule mock interviews anytime on laptops, tablets or smart phones. “The best way to become better at legal interviewing is to practice, practice and practice,” Yeager said. “Some students have discovered by using InterviewStream, much to their surprise, that they used words like “um”, “like”, and “you know” throughout their interviews. Students learn that it’s fine to pause and think before they speak instead of filling the space with filler words.” Yeager also said that the Law School is preparing to launch 24/7 Counseling –– Tips on Demand. “Over the years, our office has offered some fantastic programs on a wide variety of career-related topics,” Yeager said. “We videotaped most of these programs to make them available to students in our evening program who may not have been able to attend due to

COMMONS
Bush surprises Residential Commons students Students in the southeast quad saw a surprising sight Thursday evening. President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush received a tour of the Residential Commons. Sophomore Tamara Winter gave President Bush and his wife a tour of Armstrong Residential Commons. A quality that stood out to Winter was how humble the
former President appeared. “I was super blessed with the opportunity to give President Bush a tour,” said Winter, a residential assistant. “He loves it. Laura [Bush] was impressed. It’s was incredible for her to see the finished product.” Many students gathered around Mustang Mall in the hopes of catching a glimpse. Some called friends asking to let them into Armstrong for the chance of
a photo. After touring Armstrong, the former President went inside Arnold Dining Hall. Immediately, students stopped eating for the potential photo-op. Freshman Sabrina Roy was sitting near the entrance when the President arrived. “I was taken by surprise,” said Roy. “Not every school gets to experience things like this.”

Kitchen LTO reinvents itself each season emily heft Food Editor eheft@smu.edu The black walls and shining wood tables may be the only permanent features of Kitchen LTO’s cozy interior. The massive painting of chili peppers hanging in a far corner may draw the eye now, but will soon be retired. If you return a month from now, your favorite risotto won’t be available, and if you want dessert, you’ll have to try something new. Just over the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Trinity Groves, Kitchen LTO is a restaurant that acts as a blank canvas space for a constantly evolving dining experience. LTO, meaning “limited time only”, opened a year ago Sept.11. It is Dallas’s first-of-its-kind permanent pop-up restaurant, meaning the restaurant itself stays stationary, while the heart of it, the kitchen, switches chefs and menus about every four months. The décor also shifts with the selection of a new local artist. “I love the concept of this restaurant,” said Amy Dobson, who has dined at the restaurant. “Dallasites are always looking for the newest hottest thing; this restaurant gets to reinvent itself every few months to keep us interested
and coming back for more.” Owner Casie Caldwell, who also owns the Dallas chain restaurant Greenz, has seen the restaurant through three chefs: Norman Grimm, Eric Shelton and currently, Brooke Eggers. Each put a new spin on the restaurant’s cuisine, which is generally American in style. The chefs who design the menu compete for their position, assuring the best of the best are selected. Their cooking and vision are judged by a panel of local Dallas restaurateurs, chefs, and owners. The public was invited to watch and vote on a chefs’ cook-off earlier this week, in fact, with voting through Saturday and the announcement of the winner on Sept. 15. The selected chef will bring his or her menu to the restaurant on Oct. 1. “They’re involved in who gets to work here,” Caldwell said. “They can say, I helped make that happen.” Information on how to get involved can be found on KitchenLTO.com. The last few months were marked by self-described “Urban regional cuisine” from chef Brooke Eggers, of Santa Barbara, CA. Her eclectic menu runs through Sept. 30. Her most unexpected concoctions include Famous

Brunch offerings are just as creative, like French toast with smashed Heidelberries or scallops with eggs. Again, the less adventurous will enjoy chicken and biscuits and a bacon waffle. Caldwell notes the gazpacho on the lunch menu is refreshing and cool, perfect for these last hot lingering days of the year. In addition, the Marscapone waffle wedges on the dessert menu, with an avocado cream garnish, may sound odd, but Caldwell called it one of the best desserts she’s ever had. Current art, by the Bianca Antognelli Art Gallery, is on display until the upcoming rotation.Modern and abstract, the pieces feature cool blues that match the sky shining through the window. An outdoor terrace is visible, a warm alternative
to
the dining room. Many SMU students say they don’t know much about the restaurant, but would be willing to try it. “I haven’t been there yet. I don’t drive far for restaurants except a grand opening,” said Moez Jamohammad, a junior. “But I love trying new restaurants and seeing how chefs put a spin on things.” SMU alumnus Hunter Goodson, who lives in uptown Dallas, says he and his college friends frequent the area. Kitchen LTO is “great for dessert,” he said. The restaurant also boasts a full brunch, lunch, dinner and wine and cocktail menus. Most notable is the “LTOOMG” dessert, a gargantuan chocolate ball with a fruit, cake and Rice Krispies treat filling. Revolutionary as it may be, the concept of the restaurant is
not universally popular. Many Yelp users noted their frustration that they couldn’t return and order a favorite dish forever, but “that’s the essence of LTO-- get it while you can or in 20 days it’s going to be gone,” Caldwell said. Others felt the service was slow, though clearly the bustle of the restaurant accounts for the wait. Reservations are recommended. Jennifer Staciokas of Dallas rarely goes back to the same restaurant twice, but she’ll be back for more at Kitchen LTO. “You will now get my business a minimum of 3 times a year, so I can try out the new concept and chef,” she said. “Genius.”

New York Subs is rumored to be closing in the near future. The shop, which has stood off of Hillcrest Avenue since 1974, was founded by owner Ken Harkness, a friendly New Yorker with a thick accent. New York Subs serves a variety of sandwich options for its local customers. Popular choices include Turkey-Cheese and Hot Pastrami, served on fresh thick bread and prepared in front of the customer. The subs are made in tradtional New York style with the sandwich shop’s own special Italian dressing. Nearby sub chains such as Jimmy John’s, Jersey Mike’s, Subway and East Hampton Sandwich Company may be to blame. Competition is becoming tough for all family-owned businesses, who may not have access to the same advertising strategies as chain restaurants. In addition, the sub shop only recently created a company website. Perhaps the sub’s

HISTORY

SMU remembers Perkins Natatorium LAUREN CASTLE Contributing Writer lcastle@smu.edu The day was Dec 2, 1972. Perkins Natatorium was packed. The SMU men’s swim team competed against the University of Southern California. SMU freshman Eddie Sinnott prepared to be the first member to swim in the team medley race. “I was very much not prepared for a crowd of a 2,000 member student body and to swim with seven Olympians,” said Sinnott, now the head coach for the men’s swim team. Before it was a natatorium, the building was used by the basketball team. A basketball pavilion was first built on this site in 1926. It stood until 1948, when Joe J. Perkins and his wife Lois gave funds for the Joe. J. Perkins Gymnasium. The Perkins funded other buildings on campus including Perkins Chapel, the Perkins School of Theology, Perkins Administration building and some libraries. The gymnasium housed the men’s basketball team, athletic offices, and hosted events, including Commencement. In 1957, the building underwent a $100,000 renovation, including an Olympic-sized pool, to become the home of the Men’s Swimming and Diving team. The name changed to the Joe J. Perkins Natatorium. At the same time it became the home of the men’s swim team, the Mustang Band moved into the new band hall in the natatorium’s basement. Today, the natatorium is under demolition because it was found to be unsafe. The building was closed to students and the public on

Phillip Middlemast, a visitor on holiday from Birmingham, England said news traveled fast to the towns in the UK, but people didn’t grasp what was really going on until they went home and turned on the news. “I remember someone from my office came and told me there had been an explosion at the World Trade Center. We thought it was some sort of bomb... When I got home and put the news on TV, we appreciated how major an incident it had been. It was mind-

March 30. The swim team is now practicing at the Barr Pool. The basketball years Before basketball coach Larry Brown became a favorite among Dallasites, there was the name E.O. “Doc” Hayes. Hayes coached the Mustangs for 20 seasons, from 1947-1967. He holds the record with the most wins for a SMU basketball coach at 299. Hayes led the Mustangs to the 1956 Final Four.

Even Grace Mason, a fiveyear-old girl from Allen, Texas, grasped what happened even though it occurred before she was born. “The airplanes tried to make the United States crash down, and the United States protected the people,” Mason said. Although it was 13 years ago, it feels like yesterday to most people. Museum staff said that next year, the artifacts will differ from this years and will likely grow in its size.

season was one for the record books. The team included Bob McGregor, Bobby Mills, Jim Krebs, Rick Herrscher, Ned Duncan, and Larry Showalter. Not only did the Mustangs cause the University of Arkansas to lose its first conference title, but the team beat TCU in a historic game. It was Jan. 28, 1956. Within the first seven minutes of the second half, SMU scored 28 points. The team went on to win 105-64. It was the third time the Mustangs scored more than 100 points. The Dallas Morning News’
The swim team moved into the reconstructed building in 1957. The team produced national champions and Olympians like Steve Lundquist, Ricardo Prado, Ronnie Mills and Rich Saeger. The Mustangs won gold medals back-to-back in the Olympics. In the Summer 1996 games, Ryan Berube won on the USA 800 free relay team. Lars Frolander took home the gold in the 100 butterfly at the Summer 2000 games. Frolander became the fourth Mustang to win a gold medal at the Olympics. Sinnott coached Berube and Frolander when they were students. Sinnott is starting his 26th season as head coach this year. Under his leadership, he has lead SMU to 237 conference champion titles, coached 10 Olympians and 337 All-Americans. Sinnott was the U.S. Olympic team assistant coach in summer 2008 and the Haitian Olympic team head coach in 1996. Most recently, the team placed second at the first American Athletic Conference Championship and 20th at the 2014 NCAA Championship. Music in the air The band moved into the
basement of the building at the same time the swim team arrived. Mustang Band Director Don Hopkins has many memories of Perkins Natatorium. As a student at SMU in the early 1980s, Hopkins was a member of the band. He still remembers walking into the band hall and seeing former Band Director Ivan Dreibrodt. “Quite often Dr. Dreibrodt was leaning back in his chair smoking his Dunhill cigarettes,” he said. Originally, the Mustang Band played jazz music. The music tradition came back in 1958 thanks to Dreibrodt, who became the band director in 1958. He created a new spirit group within the band called the “The Fightin’ Forty.” The spirit group was nicked named “the Hub of SMU Spirit.” After SMU beat Oklahoma in the Bluebonnet Bowl in the 19681969 season, the band was named the best half-time band in the nation by CBS. The band’s “The Highroad on the Hilltop” album made it to the second qualifying round of the 1998 Grammy Awards. A tradition of the band is to sing “Varsity” after sporting events. Tommy Tucker, the band’s assistant director, graduated from SMU in 1984 and returned in 1996. His first memory of “Varsity” was as a freshman rehearsing in the band hall. “It was such a wonderful sound to hear the male harmony,” Tucker said.

So far, he’s calculated that if 300 students contributed $10, or in his own words, “two honey butter chicken biscuits,” he would be able to reach his financial objective. “At the end of the day, my goal isn’t just to raise money, it’s to create this mindset that we as a community need to look out for each other,” he said. “Whether they donate $1 or not, I now I’ll be successful if they learn about Best Buddies.” Small, who runs the fashion and lifestyle blog Small 4 Style, got involved in Best Buddies in high school.

The North Pool and fountain make up the ‘heart’ of the 9/11 memorial called ‘Remembering Absence.”
Remembering 9/11 thirteen years later Hanan esaili Managing Online Editor hesaili@smu.edu Walking through the halls of my elementary school, I remember 9/11 so clearly. It seemed like a normal day. I went to my third grade teacher’s classroom, put up my backpack and we started grammar practice. I believe we were in the middle of math problems when a bang came from our door. My teacher stopped what she was doing, went to the door and I saw the principal appear. After that, it seemed time seemed to stop and chaos ensued. My father, along with other parents, pulled me out of school and told me that America was under attack. I came home, sat in front of the television and watched the day’s events plan out. Nothing made sense to me; I wasn’t sure what was happening or why someone would attack the country I loved so much. I was never aware of race or ethnicity before Sept. 11. After the attacks, attitudes began to change. My father is from Jordan, but grew up in the Czech Republic. I was not raised a certain religion, and I never saw it as important in my relationships with others. I look somewhat Middle Eastern, but I never associated myself with the race or ethnicity. After 9/11, I remember children on the playground coming up to me and saying I was “going to hell” because I didn’t believe in their God. There were multiple times during my middle and high school school years when my “nickname” was terrorist. In high school, a vinegar and baking soda bomb (in water bottle) went off in someone’s truck bed and, although they were jokes, students accused me and other Middle Eastern students of being the ones who set it off. When I came to college, it didn’t seem like as big of a deal. But I know plenty of students who have received the same comments I have. SMU Senior Geenah Krisht experiences the same types
of comments I received during high school. “A lot of people are misinformed about the Middle East. Islam, terrorism and the Middle East are always associated together. They are in no way related. It’s ridiculous to group those things together,” Krisht said. Traveling anywhere for me always takes longer than it does for “normal people” because TSA does “random checks” on those who look suspicious and who have “Middle Eastern” names. I always get chosen for “random baggage checks” when I’m flying anywhere. My bag and I were pulled aside when I was 10 years old because I was on a list. Krisht has experienced the same thing with her family. “Ever since 9/11, anytime my family and I travel anywhere, we get selected for ‘random checks.’ They say ‘Oh all six of you have been selected through a random check,’ and they go through everything. It’s ridiculous,” Krisht said. Now, I can roll with the punches. I can take a joke. But when you are verbally attacked by people because of something you can’t change on a daily basis, it really takes a toll. Many people from the Middle East are now associated with terrorists, but that is a generalization. That’s like saying all German people are Nazi’s; all Christian people attend Westboro Baptist Church. And now, it’s happening with ISIS. You cannot associated all people who practice Islam with ISIS. When you associate one group of people with something negative, that only promotes hate and racism that we struggle with as a world today. Next time those thoughts go through your head, push them out. Not all people who wear a hijab are terrorists. Not all Middle Eastern people practice Islam. Everyone in a certain group is not responsible for the negative actions of a select few. Open your mind, and stop the hate.

July 8th marked one of the best days of my life. I, a 19 year old Asian woman, passed my drivers test. Jumping out of my car with the DMV-approved paper license, I proceeded to hug my father and immediately register my vehicle with Park ‘n’ Pony once I came home. Fast forward to August – I picked up my SMU student parking pass and proudly placed it in the front right corner of my window. Little did I know that I signed myself up for a year of driving hell. People warned me. I thought they were exaggerating. Everyone who complained about finding parking on a daily basis and I assumed they didn’t realize how much of a blessing it is to have a car on campus – let alone be able to drive it without being a danger to the public. First day with my car on campus, I proceeded to park in Binkley garage. Being ignorant as I am, I didn’t bother to read the signs labeled “FACULTY PARKING ONLY” and proceeded to park on the second level- whilst patting myself on the back for finding a parking spot so quickly. I took ten minutes to park. I tried to maneuver my car in every way possible to fit my huge sedan within the constraints of the angled white lines. After I managed to straighten out my car, I left the parking garage for my dorm thinking nothing of it.
The next day I was aghast. There it was, less than twenty-four hours later, the white and yellow ticket waving in the wind holding on at the corners by my windshield wiper. And from there, things went downhill. I proceeded to be late by five to 10 minutes to class because no matter how early you go to find parking, it is nearly impossible to find a spot. I would come to class, gasping for air from running down five flights of stairs sweating like a sinner in church. I cursed SMU parking in my mind every time that happened. And it seemed to happen a lot. With 11,000 undergraduate students at SMU along with faculty, students living off-campus and graduate students, there are definitely not enough parking spaces to accommodate everyone. SMU currently has seven parking centers, multiple parking meters and a Mockingbird parking area. This is still not enough space as students engage in a daily battle for parking spots, revving their engines and swerving Tokyo-drift style. As of now, SMU will lose seventeen parking spaces to break ground for the second education school. So buckle up, put your car in sports mode and get ready to scour the campus for whatever parking is left.

Research shows students who had a professor “who cared about them” were “twice as likely to be engaged in work and thriving in their overall well-being.”
Mentors improve student life diana blackman Director, Discernment & Discourse dgrumble@mail.smu.edu I often give my students “helpful hints” for making the most of their time at SMU. Do they pay attention to me, or are these comments more of my blahblahblah that just elicits nods and smiles? I’m sure I’ll never know. The other day my helpful tip was that, for the duration of their years at SMU, they read the New York Times Sunday edition on a weekly basis. No need to read it every day — the Sunday Times’ll take you the week to read anyway. And though I personally enjoy the paper version, I reminded students that they could access the newspaper for free through the Central University Library’s website. As a concession I offered that, if this advice sounded too much like that one would expect from the typical “liberal member of an English department,” then they could counterbalance this effort by perusing the Wall Street Journal as well. Dang, that was good advice, if I do say so myself! Just this morning I was reading the Times and came across an op-ed piece, “It Takes a Mentor,”
by Thomas L. Friedman, whom some students might know as the guy who wrote “The World is Flat.” I’m not always a Friedman fan, but this article is terrific. I’m taking a copy to my students tomorrow. Friedman’s article concerns some recent research that pointed to two factors that seem to turn college or technical school students into happy, fulfilled members of the work world once they graduate. One factor is that students participate in some kind of internship related to their field of choice. This makes sense, and I always encourage my students to take internship-type positions in the summer, even if some other random (as the students would say) job would pay more. The other factor Friedman mentions is one near and dear to my heart, and it’s why I decided to write in to The Daily Campus about his article: the importance of mentors. Friedman quotes the individual in charge of this research, who found that students who had a professor or professors “who cared about them as a person – or had a mentor who encouraged their goals and dreams…were twice as likely to be engaged with their work and thriving in their overall well-being.” That
only 22% of polled college grads indicated having a mentor is disappointing to Friedman, and it is to me as well. A mentor might be your D & D instructor; it might be your advisor; it could be a professor in a course in your major—someone who really inspires you. One thing is certain: students must have their eyes open for such individuals, and they must be open to sharing enough of themselves to foster such connections. I know the University is committed to encouraging such mentorship— that is clear in the new Faculty-inResidence program, which aims to promote interaction between faculty and students in their early years at SMU. I had the good fortune to have benefitted from several mentors when I was a student at SMU, and in my 20 years of teaching, I’d like to think that I too have mentored and been, for a student or two, the one invested enough to motivate and make the kind of impactful difference of which Friedman speaks. So, read the Times if you like – or ignore that advice – but please, please do seek out a mentor here at SMU. It’ll make your time here more fulfilling and meaningful, and apparently the positive impact will go with you when you enter the big, wide world.

‘Mockingjay’ teaser sets the bar for high expectations Lauren Aguirre Editor-in-Chief lcaguirre@smu.edu As a long-time fan of “The Hunger Games” book series, I was hesitant when I heard that the novels were to be adapted into feature films. I’ve been burned on that front too many times with the terrible adaptations of the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” series. But my hesitance was misplaced. The movie adaptation of “The Hunger Games” was truly spectacular and deserved every positive review it received. Judging from the most recent teaser trailer, “Mockingjay Part 1” looks to be the best film of the series so far. One of the successes of the series is its serious tone. “The Hunger Games” isn’t another fun, young adult series. It’s about war, rebellion and massive political power plays. The books never treat the matter lightly and the movies haven’t either. This dark tone continues to be prevalent in the “Mockingjay Part 1” teaser trailer. With this film, the rebellion begins in earnest. Instead of underhanded tactics, the rebels are now waging
a full-out war with the Capitol. Katniss, the main protagonist, becomes the face of the rebellion and is a valuable tool for rebel propaganda. The trailer gives us a glimpse into the general conflict of the film - the Capitol vs. the rebels. While the Capitol’s soldiers are gunning down unfaithful citizens, the rebellion is holding strategy sessions. Katniss is seen walking through a rebel war camp, promising to fight alongside the troops. Phillip Seymour Hoffman plays Plutarch, one of the architects of the rebellion. “Mockingjay” will be one of his last movies. To fill the scenes he had not filmed upon his death, the script was reworked to make his character not quite as prevalent. There were initial rumors that they would fill Hoffman’s scenes with a CGI version of him - but, really, that would have been bizarre. This trailer doesn’t really show much of what the Capitol is doing, but the movie will probably include extra scenes featuring President Snow and other Capitol leaders. “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” added extra moments and
scenes. “Mockingjay” will be no exception, and will potentially have the most added scenes of the series. This is a fact I am most excited about. These extra scenes will contribute to the film’s length, justifying splitting the last book across two movies. Because “The Hunger Games” novels were written from Katniss’ perspective, leaving out any perspective from the antagonists of the series. Adding these scenes will not only be fun for fans, but they will also make the film entertaining for new viewers. One thing I love about “The Hunger Games” adaptations is that the scripts are treated as a movie. I know that sounds obvious, but way too many novel adaptation films try to be a carbon copy of the book which just doesn’t play out well on screen. I am so thrilled that this series is being treated seriously. This creates a much more entertaining product - for both fans and casual viewers alike. Keep an eye out for the full-length “Mockingjay Part 1” trailer, which will be released Monday.

Drake wins rap battle against legendary Lil Wayne Claire Kelley Chief Copy Editor cakelley@smu.edu The Drake versus Lil Wayne tour made a stop at Fair Park’s Gexa Energy Pavillion Sunday. The concert was formatted like a rap battle between the two relationally close, but stylistically contrasting artists. Thirty-one-year-old rap legend and lyrical genius Lil Wayne, whose debut album dropped about 15 years ago, met Drake in November 2008, who is now perhaps the hottest and most omnipresent figure in modern hip hop. Before the concert, audience members were prompted to download an app, which gave them the ability to cast votes during different parts of the performance deciding the order of performers and the winners of different segments. Weezy won the initial voter competition and took the stage first, opening with “I’m Goin’ In.” The entire concert lasted about

three hours and featured several different segments, including a competition between the duo’s DJs and a features battle when they sang short hooks from hits by other artists that they’d been featured in. As was expected, Lil Wayne’s battle strategy was to capitalize on older hits from his decadeand-a-half-long presence in the music industry. After Drake performed more current jams like “Worst Behavior” and “The Motto,” Tunechi called him out, saying, “Drake, there’s a difference between hits and classics.” The few songs that followed were met with palpable enthusiasm from the audience, the result you’d likely expect from a rap-loving crowd watching a performance of 2008’s “A Milli.” Like many Gexa performances, the show was visually stimulating, awing the crowd with balls of fire, lime green lasers and fireworks. The venue’s gigantic screens featured comic-like drawings of the duo throughout the show and, during Drake’s solo, all-caps

phrases like “DRAKE KNOWS”, in a style similar to the cover art on his 2010 album, Thank Me Later. At one point, the rapper even stood on a floating platform that moved around above audience members’ heads as he sang and shouted out to certain lucky viewers saying, “I see you baby girl in the white tee,” and, “I see you reppin’ the Cowboys.” By the end of the night, Drake was the official winner of the competition after paying homage to Texas several times, discussing his love for and connection to Houston, the city where he and Weezy first met. Senior Sal Saroni enjoyed Lil Wayne’s performance, but agrees with the audience’s choice. “Wayne had some incredible moments, but Drake brought life to the stage the entire concert,” said Saroni. “It was hard not to get caught up in.” Drake may have been the winner, but Lil Wayne went out with a bang when he announced the upcoming release of his eleventh album, Tha Carter V.

Bryson Dechambeau competes on the 2014 USA World Amatuer Team Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu Bryson Dechambeau, you’ve probably heard of him as he’s making a name for himself, for the Mustangs and for the USA. Dechambeau was one of only three players selected in August to represent USA at the 2014 World Amateur Team Championship which began on Sept. 10. and he was humbled when he received the news. “When I got the news I was in disbelief because I thought there were so many other great players from the U.S. that would get picked before me,” Dechambau said. “I’m still in shock and will be for a while, but I am excited that I get a chance to do it again and hopefully come out on top this time.” This is not the first time Dechambeau has represented the USA. This summer the Second Team All-American represented the U.S. as a member of the nation’s Palmer Cup squad that competed in England in June. “Like I said for the Palmer

the Pacific Ocean in Karuizawa, Japan where he is helping USA’s three-man squad compete to take
home the World Amateur Team Championship for USA for the second consecutive time. Dechambeau carded a 4-under par 67 in the second round of the 2014 World Amateur Team Championship on Thursday morning. Beau Hossler from Texas and Denny McCarthy from Virginia also had strong rounds for USA, all of which helped move the USA into a tie for second with Sweden and Switzerland at 17-under for the tournament. Dechambeau expressed he was not completely happy with his performance. “I didn’t get the most out of it today,” Dechambeau said. “I missed three opportunities on 15, 16 and 18 but I’m very happy with where we are and I am glad that Beau Hossler stepped it up today and his 5-under showed who he was.” As of Thursday Argentina leads the tournament at 18-under. Keep following Dechambeau as the tournament concludes tomorrow. The Daily Campus will keep you updated on the rest of Dechambeau’s highlights.

SMU volleyball continues to shine after beating No. 24 Oklahoma Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu Last weekend the Mustangs had a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over then-No. 24 Oklahoma to win the SMU Doubletree Invitational in Moody Coliseum. Not only was it SMU volleyball’s first time in program history to beat a nationally ranked team, but they also had the second-largest home crowd in program history with 1,049 in attendance.
And now the SMU volleyball team is receiving votes in the latest edition of the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I Coaches Top 25 Poll. This is also the first time the Mustang program has received votes in the poll. The Mustangs are 5-1 so far this season after also defeating Georgia Tech (3-0) and Texas Southern (3-1) at the tournament for a 3-0 record and the Doubletree Invitational tournament championship. SMU also has wins over Georgia and Fordham this season. SMU will travel to Arkansas for the University of Arkansas invite against Stoney Brook. This will be the Mustangs final game
before conference play begins. The game should be a good one as Stony Brook is 4-4, winning back-to-back matches after three straight losses. The Mustangs will also play South Dakota which is entering the tournament 2-4. And the home team Arkansas enters the tournament at 3-4. SMU was a preseason favorite, picked to win the American Athletic Conference this season. The Mustangs collected nine of 11 first-place votes. UCF came in second and Tulane came in third. SMU Volleyball returns to Moody Coliseum on Sept. 19 against Houston Baptist in its first
game of the SMU Classic.
Young nominated for 2014 CLASS Award SMU’s Caroline Young has been nominated for the 2014 Senior CLASS Award. Young is one of 30 NCAA Division I volleyball players selected as candidates.

The Brenham, Texas, native had 18 kills in a 3-2 win over No. 24 Oklahoma, including eight in the third set. Young, was named team captain by her teammates, has a 3.52 GPA as a double-major in management science and math with a minor in business administration, is enrolled in the EMIS 4+1 program, and will have earned a master’s degree by the time she graduates.
