Obama awards marine Dakota Meyer received the Medal of Honor on Thursday.

Meyer saved the lives of 36 soldiers on Sept. 8, 2009 while serving in Afghanistan.

President Obama awarded Meyer the medal, and during the ceremony, Meyer asked if he and the president could share a beer. Obama called Meyer “the best of a generation that has served with distinction through a decade of war.”

Al Qaeda official killed Al Qaeda’s chief of operations in Pakistan was killed earlier this week in Waziristan, ABC News reports, citing senior administration officials. One official said Abu Hafs al-Shahri “played a key operational and administrative role for the group.” He was in charge of plotting al Qaeda’s anti-U.S. operations in the region and coordinating attacks with the Pakistani Taliban. “This is another blow at the core of al Qaeda in Pakistan,” said the official. Several weeks ago a CIA drone killed al Qaeda’s second in command.

It’s Family Weekend and students’ families are traveling from all over the country to see what life is like on the Hilltop.

But, for some of these parents and grandparents, Family Weekend is a chance to come back to the place they also called home for four years.

For freshman J.D. Mahaffey, Hilltop history runs especially deep.

His great-great-grandfather was on the founding committee for SMU and served as an interim professor at the university’s opening.

His grandmother attended the school with Doak Walker. His father and two of his aunts are also proud alum.

“From the construction of Dallas Hall, to the most recent construction of the Turner Centennial Quad, history is being made each day here at SMU, and I am so blessed to be a part of it,” Mahaffey said.

“While going to a school with such a strong family connection has many pressures involved, I couldn’t imagine myself at any other university in the world.”

Senior Katie Perkins is also a fourth generation Mustang.

Her grandmother was even the recipient of the prestigious SMU “M” award.

“It is really neat to be able to talk to my grandparents and my Dad about traditions and how things were when they went to school,” Perkins said. “It is also cool to share

in the rivalry against TCU, a love of Peruna and the best dressed band in the land.”

Perkins’ dad was in the Mustang Band, so she added that she had some familial obligation to include that last part.

Senior Daly Hite’s parents are SMU alum.

They look back on their own time on the Hilltop fondly, though they never pushed her to come here.

“I initially looked at SMU only because my parents had gone here and were coming out to Dallas anyway, but I quickly realized that it was exactly where I wanted to go to school,” Hite said. “It just worked out that we all felt the same about SMU.”

Hite’s parents mark their 25th reunion at this year’s homecoming.

“It’s fun when they come to visit because we are all excited to be in Dallas and everyone has something that they have to do,” Hite said.

“My dad cannot come to Dallas without going to Snuffers, and my mom can’t come without going to Campisi’s.”

The SMU stories families pass down from generation to generation help to make campus special.

“My favorite story is how my grandparents kissed for the first time on the steps of Dallas Hall,” Perkins said. “Years later, my father proposed to my mother also on the steps of Dallas Hall.”

Fraternity parties, Boulevard adventures and other Mustang

traditions help tie generations of SMU students together.

“My aunt actually called me the other day after she saw I went to Beta’s Eurotrash,” Mahaffey said. “Believe it or not, the annual Eurotrash party was here when she attended SMU. It’s really hard to imagine my aunt went to the same party I went to over 20 years later.”

For Perkins, keeping it all in the family is a big part of why she loves SMU. “I have grown up coming to SMU football games on Saturdays,” Perkins said. “The school has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I didn’t want to go anywhere else. I wanted to continue my family tradition and become a Mustang.”

SMU discusses bullying

By SARAH KRAMER

SAT scores on rise, school more selective

Managing Editor skramer@smu.edu

By SARAH KRAMER

SMU addressed the recent movements to stop bullying during North Texas’ first antibullying education summit Thursday evening.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings declared this week “Stand up against bullying week,” adding in his proclamation that “nine out of 10 LGBT teens have reported being bullied at school within the past year because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

However, the panel, which consisted of educators, political leaders and community experts, emphasized the importance of tackling bullying as a whole, not just for the LGBT community.

“Bullying is not an issue exclusive to lesbian, gay or bisexual students,” Cece Cox, CEO and executive director of Resource Center of Dallas, said.

International rugby champion and chair of the StandUp Foundation, Ben Cohen has dedicated his life to addressing

While average SAT scores fell nationally for the incoming freshman class of 2015, SMU’s freshman class had the highest scores ever seen — an average score of 1,268 in the math and critical reading sections, according to Stephanie Dupaul, associate vice president for enrollment management.

When looking at only these two sections, this score is about 25 points higher than SMU’s freshman class last year.

However, SMU has more to brag about than just higher test scores.

This year, 12,961 students applied, which is up more than 3,000 from 2010. And, 24.5 percent of those accepted actually enrolled.

“This is a significant increase,” Dupaul said.

It appears that SMU is getting more selective as applications are up 42.5 percent from 2005, but

“We are creating a movement that is fantastic,” he said. “We want to eradicate homophobia from sport.”

Cohen, whose father was brutally attacked and killed, is the first straight athlete to raise awareness and funds for anti-LGBT bullying through

In keeping with emergency preparedness month, SMU dedicated this past week to “Shelter Awareness Week,” hoping to teach students what to do in the case of severe weather or an outdoor chemical spill.

The shelter exercise was conducted in all dorms on campus, enabling students to get “real world” experience without the hazard.

“Exactly one year ago last week, there was a tornado within two miles of the SMU campus,” Lee Arning, director of emergency preparedness and business continuity, told Boaz residents. “It looked as pretty outside as it did yesterday [Tuesday] afternoon at this time and there was a tornado that close.”

First year and Boaz resident Michelle Marriott has never experienced a tornado or a drill like this one, however, she believes she would know what to do in the case of an emergency.

“I think I’d be prepared,” Marriott said. “ I feel like it’s kind of common sense though.”

Residents of Boaz, Smith and Perkins participated in the drills on Wednesday, while other halls had drills earlier in the week and

acceptance rates have gone down by 63.25 percent since last year.

“SMU is becoming a school of choice for top students across the nation,” Provost Paul Ludden said. “We were also very pleased that the retention of first-year students returning for their second year hit 90 percent for the first time.”

Of the students who applied, 5,641 were accepted and 1,382 enrolled — down about 100 students from 2010.

“We intentionally tried to make this class smaller; the average is around 1400,” Dupaul said.

Fifty-five percent of students are from outside of Texas. California remained No. 1 and Florida ranked No. 2.

While many universities are struggling to maintain a gender balance, SMU’s class of 2015 is almost 50/50 with 51 percent female and 49 percent male.

“SMU has a great balance of majors and programs that attract women and men,” Ludden said.

Missoni launches Target collection Despite fully stocked shelves the retailer runs out of designer items in only hours

By KATIE DAY

Contributing Writer kday@smu.edu

There are few things that get a college girl out of bed at 6:00 a.m.

When my alarm sounded at the early hour on Sept.13, I jumped out of the covers like it was Christmas morning.

With coffee in hand and a skip in my step, I threw on some clothes and sped across town to Target.

But today was more than a

grocery trip.

I wasn’t alone.

Long lines of people formed outside Target stores across the country to shop the 400-piece collection.

The new line of clothes and home accessories was designed by iconic Italian fashion house Missoni, famous for their bright zigzag patterns seen on several celebrities.

The best part? The items that normally would cost hundreds of dollars were redesigned to be sold at much lower Target prices.

SMU senior Kelly Hartigan was also there in the midst of the madness.

The doors swung open at 8:00 a.m. sharp and shoppers of all sorts sprinted into the store like the running of the bulls.

BULLY: Texas, SMU makes strides

SAFETY:

Continued from page 1

Continued from page 1

Texas or in the world.

However, efforts have been made this year as two major bills passed in the Texas Legislature.

After it was reported that 32 percent of all students have been victims to bullying — either in person or through cyberbullying — Texas created House Bill 1942, which aims to reduce bullying in Texas schools through intervention and prevention.

Before this bill was passed, victims of bullying had to transfer to a new school or be homeschooled.

Now, the perpetrator or bully can be removed from the school or classroom.

“The state wide Texas House Bill 1942 requires that this is not a luxury to be thinking about anti-bullying, ” Cox said. “It’s a mandate.”

This bill also

protects teachers.

“If teachers don’t feel protected, they may be in a situation where they don’t get enough backup,” Cox said.

Dallas ISD executive director of student services, Dr. Suzie Fagg has worked to implement policies in her school district, similar to HB 1942, since November 2010 to “empower students to stand up and not allow this type of behavior” to exist.

“We have a long way to go,” Fagg said. “I’m very proud of my school and my staff and what we have accomplished. Hopefully we will see a major change in terms of bullying and safety in our district.”

When a bullying case is reported in a Dallas ISD school, the school has 10 days to investigate the case.

Fagg’s goal, as well as the whole of DISD administration, is to make school safer and more welcoming for students.

While it is easier to implement these policies in grade schools, executing these same rules in universities is more of a challenge.

“Its hard for students who are only here for four years to undo what they’ve learned,” Dr. Evelyn Ashley, assistant dean of students at SMU, said.

Currently, SMU is working to educate students on what resources are available.

“We want to educate on civility — just to get people to be nice,” Ashley said.

Ashley admitted that it sounds like a simple task to teach students to be nice, but she also noted that bullying is a learned action as well.

SCORE:

Thus, the majority of the panel said that what needs to change is our culture.

“We are surrounded by messages of disrespect, violence, bullying and a lack of civility,” Cox said.

“So our roles as grownups — regardless if you have kids or not — is to turn the tide and create a tide that we can engage with each other in conversation.”

Burns agreed, stressing that people should not be afraid to speak up and tell their story.

After his appeal to the city council appeared on YouTube, he realized that one person’s story can impact many.

“I thought I was talking to just a few people in Texas,” he said.

“But it goes to show that when you stand up and get peoples attention…it really does impact people’s lives.”

Thursday.

“We want you to get to the interior hallways away from as many glass windows and doors as humanly possible, and you want to stay there until you know the threat has passed,” Arning said.

The SMU preparedness staff advises students to seek shelter if they hear tornado sirens on campus. Additional instructions include going into a basement or lowest level of the building students are closest to, away from windows.

It is also important to listen to local media and to wait for officials to give you the “all clear.”

Chris Scott, a sophomore resident assistant in Boaz, believes the emergency drills are beneficial to students.

“I think it’s good to get students aware of possible things

Students prepare

that can happen,” he said. “To be aware and understand what to do, like he [Arning] said, can save people’s lives.”

Although these drills help students get an idea of what to expect in the case of an emergency, Arning assures students Texas’ weather has a mind of its own.

“In Texas, you’ll get through with it and go, ‘OK. That wave is gone,’ and 20 minutes later, you may need to be right back down here,” he said. “Just do it.”

As an RA, Scott feels adequately prepared if a dangerous storm or chemical spill were to occur.

“We were well trained and made-well versed on some of the things that we need to be aware of and this was definitely one of them,” he said.

“Although we were made aware this was happening, I think we could have handled it if it was not a drill.”

“Dean Orsak does a great job recruiting women wish to be engineers; Dean Bowen does a great job of recruiting both men and women to the arts.

Both international and transfer applications are on the rise, too.

“There was a huge increase in transfer applications this year; it’s very exciting,” Dupaul said.

Ludden agrees.

“I think that students around the world are recognizing SMU as a rising star among universities,” he said.

“The excitement about the Bush Library, the new curriculum and the success of our athletics teams all contribute to the increase in the esteem for SMU across Texas, the U.S. and the world.”

By JOE RICHARDSON Contributing Writer joeyr@smu.edu

All roads may not lead to SMU, but a whole bunch of them do.

This year SMU turns 100.

In those 100 years, students from across the nation and from beyond oceans have decided to come to Dallas for college.

Jessica Noel, senior psychology and sociology double major from San Diego, wanted the “get-awayfrom-home” experience.

“I wanted to know what life was like outside of California, and I’ve definitely gotten that in Texas,” Noel said.

According to Stephanie Dupaul, the associate vice president for enrollment management at SMU, “SMU

is very much a national and global university, given the number of outof-state students who would like to enroll here.”

Dupaul went on to say that SMU’s out-of-state population increased this year, and 55 percent of the first-year class is not native to Texas.

Noel sees a big advantage to attending school in Dallas.

“Dallas isn’t so big that you can get lost in the shuffle, such as Los Angeles or New York City,” she said. “But at the same time, it is large enough to provide all of the opportunities that come with living in a big city.”

Sophomore Scarlet Gray from Shreveport, La, also noted the opportunities.

“I could see myself staying around (Dallas) and working somewhere for engineering and at the same time get

my graduate degree here (at SMU), because they make that so easy for you here,” she said.

Gray also said that her favorite thing about SMU is although it is a big college and competing nationally, it is still small enough that you know people on campus.

“Even though it’s huge, it remains close-knit between people,” Gray said.

Sophomore journalism major Clara Lemon from Los Angeles, said she picked Dallas because it was a new place.

“I really wanted to go out of California and experience another place,” Lemon said.

“I think SMU’s really awesome, and I’m really glad I came here. It’s an up-and-coming school, even though it’s not top among Ivy Leagues.”

SMU does not only draw

students from the U.S. According to Dupaul, there were 611 international applicants this year—311 more international applicants than last year. These applications came from 80 countries around the globe.

“Of the 10,678 degree-seeking graduate and undergraduate students currently enrolled at SMU, 1,045 are international,” Dupaul said. “For undergraduates, 6.87 percent of our 6,150 undergraduate students are international.”

Claudia Graves, the director of international student and scholar services, attributes this draw of students to many factors. The desire to study in a city that is international, the strong economy and the markets and culture degree are just a few.

“We sell very well that we are an international city, and then we get to sell the kind of schools that we have,”

Graves said.

Graves also believes the job market is one of the biggest advantages of going to school in Dallas.

“Dallas being one of the most growing cities … I think that’s a big plus,” she said.

Yee-Ching Liu is a sophomore biological science major from Taipei City, Taiwan who said came to Dallas because her aunt and uncle live here.

She heard of SMU from her uncle, who got his graduate degree here.

Liu said one advantage of going to college in Dallas is that it would ultimately be cheaper than other big cities.

“In New York, living, housing, tuition are all more expensive than here,” she said.

SMU is a local school with a farreaching, global ambition

Winners and losers of the GOP Debate

By JESSICA HUSEMAN Political Editor jhuseman@smu.edu

CNN’s debate was pretty entertaining. But then, how can you get a more entertaining crowd than the Tea Party — the group of people who have literally done nothing but rebel rouse since they hit the scene a few years ago. The cheers were vast, the boos were plenty. There were also clear winners and losers.

Winners: Mitt Romney Get it, Mitt. After four debates, Mitt is still speaking strong and knows how to pull off the one liners. It is becoming ever more clear that Romney is the only candidate whose oratory skills can match up to Obama — something that will be critically important when there is one GOP candidate facing the ever-charismatic heroof-youth that is our 43rd president.

But not only can he speak, he knows what he is doing.

On several occasions, Romney faced boos from the Tea Party audience in order to appeal to the greater audience sitting at home in front of the television who don’t share the same radical views.

That will be critical when candidates are forced to slide further to the middle to attract votes from moderates and independents. Romney is certainly benefiting from Perry-scare, as candidates are turning their energy to beat down the quick-riser rather than sustaining an

intelligent attack on the former Massachusetts governor.

Michelle Bachmann Yeah, I’m giving her a win.

But only because she sucked less than she did a few days ago, which I guess is a triumph for team Bachmann. She managed to emerge from whatever black hole she got sucked into in the last debate, which left her down in the polls and essentially forgotten. This time around, she attacked Perry relentlessly for his attempted HPV vaccine mandate and made some noise about the economy.

Newt Gingrich I never thought I’d be listing old Newt as a “winner” of anything in this race, but he proved me wrong Monday night. He was clearly comfortable in front of his home crowd of the Tea Party, and was the most effective candidate in tearing down Obama’s jobs bill. Pointing out that the bill does not pay for itself by closing corporate loopholes but instead by tax increases, Newt garnered mass applause and made a solid point. Maybe the pundits who pointed to Gingrich as the potential frontrunner back before this race started weren’t on peyote after all.

Losers: Rick Perry After weeks of soft hits and easy slides, Perry was finally faced with solid attacks from the other candidates. Perry was not prepared for them, and faltered behind

continuous rounds of complaints about jobs, social security and his HPV mandate. Perry is not as eloquent as Romney, and he flopped in front of his supporters in the Tea Party. Perry is going to need to come up with some better block responses to common complaints about his leadership or he’s simply an artillery-filled ship waiting to slide to the bottom of a bone dry Texas lake.

Jon Huntsman In a night filled with badly timed jokes, bizarre one-liners and a strange joke about Kurt Cobain, Huntsman stubbled around more like a drunk baby than a real contender for president of the United States. Instead of a real targeted joke (I assume Huntsman was referencing Cobain’s song “All Apologies” when he poked fun at Romney’s book “No Apologies,” he caused Cobain’s name to bump up on Twitter instead of his own, inciting dozens of jokes about how Huntsman’s campaign was going to end up like Cobain. Sigh.

Everyone Else Let’s cut to the chase. None of the other candidates matter. I would really love to have a beer (and pizza, of course) with Herman Cain; Rick Santorum is just never going to win; and, Ron Paul lost big time in front of a crowd he essentially gave birth to. What happened Ron? You are the father of small government, no taxes and leave-me-the-hell alone foreign policy. You should have owned that stage. Now, the crazy old man jokes are flying.

Faith and politics mix with this candidate

By AVERY STEFAN Contributing Blogger astefan@smu.edu

In his Sept. 12, 1960 address to Houston, President John F. Kennedy promised to serve his country without allowing his Roman Catholic faith to dictate government policies or overrule what was best for United States citizens: “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute…” Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania made it clear that if elected, he would not uphold the same standard of the separation of church and state.

So, Santorum puts national interest below his personal religious values. Exactly what we want in our President, right?

The constitutional policy that makes America unique is one that Santorum, a devout Roman Catholic, does not agree with. He said in a Newton, Mass. speech that he was “frankly appalled” by Kennedy’s address, and eagerly added that Kennedy’s statement was one that was “radical” and did “ great damage.”

Are we really supporting candidates for the 2012 Presidential election that would threaten such an essential component of our country’s foundation? Luckily, Santorum rolled into distant fourth place in this election’s Iowa Straw Poll.

Sandhya Bathija from The Wall of Separation online blog wrote: “It’s a shame that half a century after President Kennedy presented us with his vision, we

are still dealing with the same issues.

Aggressive religious leaders want to see their religious doctrines enforced by government officials, and they don’t like hearing about the constitutional separation of church and state.”

Progressiveness and an openminded outlook are necessary to understand and promote foreign relations and to unite the plethora of mixed values and religions at home.

Santorum can in no way lead our country successfully without accepting the abundance of diversity that comes with it. You would think that he would have an appreciation for the acceptance that was shown to his own Italian immigrant father, and apply that same acceptance to more aspects of life, as opposed to promoting a particular religious belief.

Out of Santorum’s faith comes

a strong opposition to gay marriage and gay rights. He has gotten a lot of flak for his comments regarding homosexual relationships, one of the most detrimental manifestations being the attack on his own name. Although the online attack was “vile,” I would argue that he has just as inhuman of an attitude towards gay marriage when he compares it to the likes of incest, bestiality and adultery.

Santorum used the campaign slogan “Fighting to make America America again” when he announced his intention to run for President, a phrase he borrowed from Langston Hughes’s poem, entitled “Let America be America Again.” To me, it is strange and hypocritical that he would choose this slogan, when Hughes was a known as a leading defender and advocate of gay rights.

Review: ‘I Don’t Know How She Does It’ Sarah Jessica Parker shows she’s good at being busy, not much else

By CHASE WADE A&E Editor cdwade@smu.edu

During one of the more climatic scenes in Sarah Jessica Parker’s new movie, “I Don’t Know How She Does It” her co star and on-screen husband, Greg Kenner, says to her “Sometimes okay just has to be good enough.”

Perhaps the film’s director, Douglas McGrath, took this statement to heart while making the movie, because once you boil it down, “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” is just that— okay.

SJP plays Kate Reddy, an ambitious businesswoman who wants to have it all: the perfect family, the perfect job and the

perfect life. However, what would this movie be if we couldn’t watch this woman struggle?

In the beginning of the movie, Kate somehow manages to keep her hectic life in balance. However, when a new deal at work requires her to spend two months traveling with a wealthy banker played by Pierce Brosnan, Kate finally looses control. What starts with missing her son’s first haircut, snowballs into family issues ranging from an angst pre-teen daughter all the way to a trip to the hospital on Thanksgiving.

Essentially, this is what “I Don’t Know How She Does It” is all about — an hour and twenty minutes spent watching a woman dangle on

a wire, hoping she doesn’t fall off.

And in true Hollywood style, she doesn’t.

“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is filmed in a peculiar manner for something billed as a chick-flick.

McGrath opens his movie with an interview of SJP’s on-screen best friend Allison, played by Christina Hendricks. In a move that this critic deems as lazy, McGrath easily sets up Kate Reddy without having to lift a finger.

Later in the film, McGrath recycles this technique to create more than stale scenes from the usually rib breaking, Busy Phillips. In fact, McGrath seriously underutilizes his cast of funny women. No movie with the comic talents of Olivia

Munn and Busy Phillips should be this un-funny. It’s just wrong.

With a cast that includes seasoned actors like Sarah Jessica Parker and Greg Kenner, a bad movie is really hard to make.

However, when the movie’s jokes come from what seems to be a handbook on clichés and the most dramatic moment could be classified as a “boo-boo,” “I Don’t Know How She Does It” never really gives us a chance to take it seriously.

While the movie may not have been taken very seriously, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Kate is played quite well. There are few actresses that have the charm that SJP possesses.

Even though she was given flat scenes and corny lines, SJP manages to come out of “I Don’t Know How She Does It” with her reputation intact. With a character that closely resembles her famous Carrie Bradshaw, SJP was a shoein to be the loveable female lead.

In summation, “I Don’t Know How She Does It” misses its mark.

With a screenplay riddled with overused clichés and a direction better suited for television instead, “I Don’t Know How She Does It” will have you thinking “I Don’t Know Why I Saw This.”

game

‘Momma’s boys’ take the field

By E’LYN TAYLOR AND ERICA PENUNURI Sports Team ejtaylor@smu.edu epenunuri@smu.edu

Families will make their way from different parts of the country this weekend to spend quality time with their sons and daughters who attend SMU. Family Weekend centers around weekend football festivities such as open house, a student talent show, the traditional tailgating on the Boulevard and preparing to Pony Up at the game.

Like the rest of the student body, athletes and their families make plans to enjoy family time.

“It’s a part of the season I really enjoy because I usually don’t get to see them,” SMU offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum said.

For parents, it’s a homecoming not only watching their child on the field but also reuniting with other parents.

“Seeing our family members present as one and getting to see the parents again is just a special time,” said mom Culetta Beachum.

Family Weekend also reminds athletes that their is SMU support outside the stadium.

Beachum’s mom also said when players see a glimpse of their support

system in the stands, that makes all the difference.

“Something that I have learned as a parent is regardless of how busy our schedules are, my children faces lighten when he see us in the stands.”

SMU Line Backer Ja’Gared Davis believes Family Weekend helps all players.

“The boulevard really takes a hold on because you have a lot of family and then you have a lot of supporters that come together,” Beachum said.

Davis said family bonding goes beyond the field and into the lifestyles of the football team.

“Everybody looks at each other as a brother or a father figure, and we all look up to each other,” David said.

Along with sharing sweat, armor pads and victories, the SMU Football team has learned to share something else.

“In family weekend we always share each other’s parents,” Davis said. “My mom is like Banjo’s mom so we all just share mother’s around here so it’s honestly like a family.”

Davis’ mom can agree.

His mom said she has been known as the mother figure for her son’s friends. She has helped cheer

them on, give the pep talk and even made game day signs for her son and the players.

“For athlete’s parents to get involved, it shows that you’re not always proud of them at home but your also proud of them in their extracurricular activities.”

Davis said that it’s important for parents to show how much they love their athletes on and off the field.

“It’s important to verbalize to

your child and let them know and let the world know how proud you are of your child.”

Gayla Davis encourages parents to come support their child because a parent will never know what that means to a player.

“Even if I can only make to the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game, I still like to show my face to show him that I love him.”

The SMU men’s soccer team will host its annual SMU Classic presented by Jason’s Deli this weekend.

The Jason’s Deli Tournament was originally named SMU Letterman’s Classic that dates back to 1987. With the exception of 1992 and 2001, the Mustangs have been able to host this tournament every year. This year, the tournament will be held starting on Sept.16 and ending on Sept. 18.

SMU currently holds a record of 39 wins, 11 losses and 4 ties within every tournament they have hosted. The Mustangs have also been able to outscore their opponents with an advantage of 120 goals for over 43 goals against.

The Mustangs will kick off the tournament against Dartmouth on their home ground, Westcott Field at 7:30 p.m.

This Friday will be Dartmouth’s second time facing SMU. In 1997 during SMU and

Darmouth’s first match in the NCAA tournament, SMU was able to defeat Dartmouth in the second round 2-0.

Dartmouth currently holds a record of one win, one loss and 2 ties this season.

The Mustang however have completed two wins and three losses this season. The Darmouth Big Green will make their comeback to Westcott Field after having tied 3-3 against South Florida in the Dartmouth Classic last weekend.

On Sunday, Sept 18 the Mustangs will finish off the tournament by facing off Washington at 7 p.m.

The Mustangs defeated the Huskies two times out of the six times they have played against each other. The last time the two teams faced off each other was at the New Mexico Classic in 2007, when Washington was able to defeat SMU 2-0.

The Mustangs have not been able to obtain a victory (4-1) since the match against Oakland at the Tulsa Tournament on Sept. 9.

DEFENSIVE END

Davis seals win, looks ahead

On the ‘Hunt’ to break NCAA Record

By CESAR RINCON

All-Conference USA honorably mentioned junior defensive end Margus Hunt after he received a great deal of publicity due to his recent standings and statistics. During last weekend’s game against UTEP, Hunt was able to block his seventh field goal in his career.

Last weekend, UTEP kicker, Dakota Warren attempted a 33yard field-goal during the first half, but was rejected by Hunt’s left hand.

Having now blocked a six extra point kicks and seven field goals, Hunt awaits for his next

By NICK KARAGEORGE Contributing Writer nkarageorge@smu.edu

The UTEP offense had the ball on their own goal line down 21-17 with 2:39 left in the game causing them to steal a win from the Mustangs last year.

Unfortunately for the Miners, Ja’Gared Davis had other plans for how the game was going to end.

Davis flew around the Miner’s pass protection and was able to knock the ball out of the quarterback’s hand.

He then finished the play off with a scoop and score that sealed SMU’s first win of the season.

We are now in Davis junior year at SMU, and he has been making plays on the team’s defense ever since his freshman year. Out of the 13 games Davis has played his freshman he

managed to start in five.

Davis’s coming out party though was celebrated last season. He was named First Team Conference USA, he recorded 90 tackles, 9 sacks and scored two touchdowns. His success last season is translating into an improved SMU defense this year. In the Mustangs game against UTEP last week, the defense play was on point in the second half giving up only seven points to UTEP, and that was due in large part to Davis energetic play.

Davis showed that he was the primary playmaker on the SMU defense last week against. He has already accomplished three career touchdowns this year and is always seen as a threat to force a turnover when he is on the field. Last week, he finished the game with eight tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss, one

forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one interception, three pass breakups and one touchdown.

Davis has proven himself to be a valuable and versatile player for the Mustangs, with his ability to stop the run and rush the passer he breaks up passes while he drops into coverage.

Davis efforts in the win against UTEP earned him the Non-AQ defensive player of the week award.

Davis takes pride in the way the defensive squad plays. When asked what June Jones said to the defensive at half time, he said.

“He challenged us to come up with a turnover,” Davis said.

Davis obviously took what Coach Jones said to heart. In the fourth alone.

Davis managed to create two turnovers himself, intercepting a tipped pass and forcing a fumble.

After the Mustangs’ win last Saturday, Ja’Gared said he was happy that his play helped the Mustangs come out on top with a victory.

“We’re just pumped.

Everybody is in the locker room right now just laughing and scratching.”

game in order to set the new NCAA record of having the most kicks and field goals blocked.

Hunt grew up in Karksi-Nuia a small town in Estonia.

He started competing in discus throw and shot put and won two gold medals at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing.

Hunt established a new world junior record of 66.35 meters in his first throw on the qualifying round, but he was able to beat his own record by the sixth and final round with a throw of 67.32 meters.

Three days later, he won the gold medal in the shot put with a distance of 20.53 meters. Hunt became the first athlete to win the gold medal in both discus throw and shot put at the World Junior Championships.

SMU recruited Hunt in 2007 for the Track and Field team, but the team was cut. Hunt then ventured to football and started to play in 2009.

Hunt’s ability to block kicks and field goals started his freshman year at SMU. During his game against Rice, Hunt broke SMU’s record for most blocked kicks in a season by blocking an extra point try and a field goal.

Hunt managed to block seven kicks in total in his first 14 games at SMU, which ranked him in the top 10 for blocking the most kicks in the NCAA. The rank now puts Hunt one block away from tying the NCAA record for most kicks blocked. He is also near a SMU four blocked kicks in one season record.

QUARTERBACK

McDermott to start in second home game

By JENNIFER BUNTZ Contributing Writer jbuntz@smu.edu

After a break in the heat for a morning Mustang practice Thursday, head football coach June Jones made his final decision that J.J. McDermont will start in the game this weekend against Northwestern State.

“They have each been extremely focused all week.

Although J.J. will start, Kyle will also play in the game. I wanted him to play in the second quarter second series last week but we never had that opportunity, ” Jones said.

Talent wise Northwestern State has some good players, and it is predicted to be a good game.

Last week’s game was McDermont’s first time to start against UTEP and he threw for a 28-17 victory.

His first debut was at the Texas A&M game when Jones replaced Padron for him early in the game. He had 254 yards passing and a touchdown, although was sacked several times.

The 6’4” transfer from University of New Mexico should be prepared to play in front of a big crowd this weekend since it is family weekend on the Hilltop.

This will be his second time starting on Gerald J. Ford stadium turf.

“Both players had very good practices all week.

Northwestern State has a fast team, fast receivers and quarterback,” Jones said.

“We gotta go out there and win our home games,” Jones complimented of his players’ performance this week.

A NOTE from smu athletics On behalf of the entire athletic department, I want to thank each and every one of you for coming out to the game Saturday.

Your WHITEOUT efforts were amazing!

The Boulevard was buzzing before the game and we had one of the best student turnouts we’ve ever had in Ford Stadium.

You did an outstanding job of supporting your Mustangs and we cannot thank you enough. You represented SMU well and created a true home-field advantage.

Student support is the key element that makes SMU Football a unique entertainment experience in our market. Join The Stampede and support your football team this Saturday when we host Northwestern State at 7 p.m.

Thanks again for all your support and GO MUSTANGS!

Forced to live gluten free No vacancy for families

By BETHANY SUBA Health & Fitness Editor bsuba@smu.edu

Dr. Kate Naumes was diagnosed with celiac disease the summer after her senior year of college.

She had struggled most of her young adult life with fatigue, anemia and a lot of vague symptoms that her primary care doctor could not identify with a specific disease.

She ended up leaving school on a medical leave of absence because her health was so poor.

Once she was diagnosed with celiac disease her life did a complete 360.

“The first couple of years were really challenging because at first I was told that I couldn’t eat wheat,” Dr. Naumes said.

Celiac disease is a condition where the immune system responds abnormally to gluten.

Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and a multitude of prepared foods.

“Celiac disease can occur in people of any age and it affects both genders,” Dr. Naumes said.

Symptoms of celiac disease are an atrophy of intestines, weight loss, vitamin deficiencies or low iron or vitamin D. Also, people may suffer from stomach pains, bowl movements or drowsiness.

“I am always cautious when ordering out and ask questions but in the end of the day your word only gets so far and I can’t just live in a hole for the rest of my life, so naturally, I take my chances,” SMU junior Alison Fagan said.

Fagan was diagnosed with celiac disease when she was 13 years old.

Fagan is studying abroad in Australia this semester and says that she has found it easier to eat gluten free abroad than it is here in the states.

“I have found many more restaurants are aware of gluten intolerances,” she said.

“Many burger places have gluten free buns, which is something I have not seen in burger places in America.”

Also, the Dominos Pizza in Australia recently came out with gluten free pizza crust and the supermarkets have more gluten free products.

At home, Fagan only shops at Whole Foods Market.

She believes they have a great variety of gluten free products, but for the average person the shopping at Whole Foods can get pricey.

It is important for people to be tested for celiac disease, but just because you suffer from some of the symptoms listed above

does not mean you have celiac disease.

Some people are just more sensitive to gluten than others.

If this is the case, you should still be wary of eating foods that contain gluten, but you do not have to worry about the long-term effects people with celiac disease may be candidates for.

Celiac disease, if not treated, can lead to problems with the pancreas, liver and thyroid glands.

It can put you at risk for certain types of cancers and infertility.

The treatment for celiac disease is to eliminate gluten from your diet completely.

Dr. Naumes has come up with several recipes and tips for living a gluten free life that you can find on the SMU Health and Fitness Blog.

She also says that one of her favorite restaurants in the Dallas area that caters to people with celiac disease is Spiral Diner, located in the Oakcliff neighborhood.

Dr. Naumes is a licensed naturopathic doctor and resides and practices in Dallas.

President Turner: A SMU legend contributor

On Sept. 9, the R. Gerald Turner Centennial Quadrangle and the Gail O. and R. Gerald Turner Centennial Pavilion were inaugurated as part of SMU’s continuing Centennial Celebration.

Current and past SMU Trustees decided to name the quadrangle and pavilion after a very surprised and touched President and Mrs. Turner. As the current Student Trustee, I could not have been more proud of the overly deserving namesakes and the attentive Adriana Martinez board who dedicated this gift to them.

As I walked around campus in the first weeks of school, I was astounded by the growth of the university just in the three years that I have been here. Year after year beautiful new buildings have appeared and thoughtful additions to existing facilities have materialized.

From Caruth Hall and its amphitheater, to the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education, from the additions to the Perkins School of Theology to the ground breaking of the Bush Presidential Center, none of these innovations would have come to fruition without relentless hard work and devoted perseverance. And it’s not hard to figure out who has led and will continue to lead such efforts.

The Quadrangle itself is surrounded by five buildings constructed during Turner’s tenure in an area of the campus that he had wanted to improve from the early years of his presidency. As he himself is known to say, “Life is too short to go to college on an ugly campus.” Well, President Turner has certainly ascertained that no SMU student is plagued by this concern.

As a member of the SMU Board of Trustees, I have had the distinct pleasure of working very closely with President Turner. His preparedness and polish never cease to amaze me. It is undeniable that there is no question about SMU to which President Turner does not have the answer.

This is no easy feat given the size, breadth and depth of the university and its undertakings.

Yet, perhaps more importantly, I am in constant admiration of his ability to connect very personally with those with whom he works and to graciously greet each person he encounters. Needless to say, it is not common for a president of a major university to invite student groups to his home or to eat lunch with students at the cafeteria. Yet, President Turner often says this is one of the favorite parts of his job. He is genuine and kind to all. This is only further complemented by the perfect grace and poise of his wife, Mrs. Gail Turner.

President Turner’s contagious enthusiasm for SMU, especially as we enter our second century, has enlivened our centennial celebration. The 2011 – 2015 celebrations mark a momentous time in SMU’s history, both in terms of looking towards the past and the future. There is no better time to be a Mustang!

National rankings, SAT scores and prominent awards have never been so high. Under President Turner’s leadership, SMU will continue to rise in academic prestige and reputable stature, not to mention acreage.

I would like to join the Board of Trustees and the Faculty Senate in thanking the tenth President of SMU and Mrs. Turner for their devotion and passion to SMU. I too am grateful to “President R. Gerald Turner and Mrs. Gail Turner for their leadership, vision and determination in driving SMU to excel in the new century” (Faculty Senate First Centennial Resolution).

Opinion Editor

As I’ve written before, I’ve always liked to assume that young people today are fundamentally no different Brandon Bub now than their counterparts 50, 100, or even 1000 years ago, so it always feels a little bit jarring when my generation in some way proves me wrong. A few days ago as I was glancing through the New York Times (as left-leaning English students like myself are opt to do), I came across an article by David Brooks exposing young people for the corrupt moral relativists that they really are. Well, perhaps that might be putting it in too inflammatory of terms, but the article itself was still enlightening.

Brooks cited a 2008 study by Notre Dame sociologist Christian Smith that asked about the moral lives of 230 young adults from across the country. Indeed, the most striking aspect of this study was not that the persons interviewed were encouraging lives of ephemeral pleasures and drunken shenanigans (in fact, this wasn’t the case at all); rather, these “young adults” didn’t seem too clear on what morality even consists of in the first place.

The New York Times offers this example: “When asked to

describe a moral dilemma they had faced, two-thirds of the young people either couldn’t answer the question or described problems that are not moral at all, like whether they could afford to rent a certain apartment or whether they had enough quarters to feed the meter at the parking spot.”

So what exactly are we to make of data like this? On one hand, it’s reassuring that today’s young folks haven’t outwardly rejected the concept of morality, but on the other, it’s quite disheartening that a lot of us don’t seem to know what morality and ethics even entail.

We could certainly chalk this change up to a variety of factors.

The more conservative among us might argue that this is a consequence of today’s youth focusing upon themselves more and not as rigidly subscribing to religious institutions or faith doctrines.

However, as an atheist myself, I’ve always rejected the claim that more spiritual folks can command a monopoly on virtue and ethics. It’s certainly possible for nonbelievers to live a “good” life, and even my most faithful compatriots agree with this sentiment. Moreover, the study doesn’t seem to offer the religious backgrounds of those interviewed, so it’s a bit unfair to make such a jump in logic so quickly.

Maybe it’s an educational

problem. In that case, does that mean we should be forcing all of today’s youth to take philosophy classes so they can become more informed about why we have morals in the first place? Well, I wouldn’t object to it in my case since I’m a liberal arts major, but statistics have shown that today’s youth proportionately graduate from high school and college at a much higher rate than our parents’ and grandparents’ generations.

That this confusion about morality would coincide with a dramatically higher education rate only becomes all the more baffling in such a light.

There’s also the possibility that this study has its own inherent biases to overcome.

After all, I don’t really recall a similar study being performed on members of our parents when they were our age. Is unaffected relativism just “a phase” that all of us go through growing up and something that we don’t overcome until we’ve bought into social institutions like marriage and steady careers that more overtly tell us what to not do? I guess that’s always a possibility too, but I find that just as unsatisfying as any other conclusion.

If this were true, our ability to reason would ostensibly not be bred by independent thought and contemplation but rather through familiar societal structures. Maybe that’s not

such a bad thing though; some of us live under the assumption that unfettered freedom is an absolutely perfect goal to strive for, but without some kind of limits on freedom (like the boundaries that come with committed relationships or the time constraints that careers create for us) we’re just living freely for the sake of it, and not for much else.

I fear, however, that I’m bordering on the point of rambling. I guess my conclusion is that I really don’t know why our generation doesn’t seem to have as committed of principles as those who came before us, and I think this is a subject worth studying intently and in depth.

It’s easy to make the claim that this is just another example of our generation being woefully inadequate in comparison to the adults who raised us, and it’s just as easy for us to claim that this study only proves that adults have nothing better to do but mercilessly criticize us.

The real answer probably lies somewhere in between the extremes; coincidentally, I’m sure Aristotle would have likely said something along those lines too.

‘Arab Spring’ offers complex results contributor

Over the last year, a series of civilian uprisings have changed not just the political landscape but also the Akbar Iqbal fundamental way people live across countries in the Middle East. A number of increasingly violent street demonstrations in Tunisia sparked what could well be the greatest revolution of its kind in history: The Arab Spring.

A number of nations have brought down dictatorial governments and given themselves the opportunity to rebuild their countries the way they see fit. However, what remains to be seen is whether the millions of voices that united to achieve their goal of freedom can agree on how to start anew, while also standing firm against several external factors that can determine the futures of their respective nations.

Tunisia’s success in ousting long time president Zine El

Abidine Ben Ali led to a similar explosion of public outrage against Egypt’s (Former) President Hosni Mubarak.

While protests in Egypt started peacefully, they soon turned violent when pro-Mubarak activists held a counter-protest.

However, Mubarak ultimately stepped down and power was handed to the army who dissolved the government, suspended the Constitution of Egypt, lifted the country’s emergency laws and promised to hold free, open elections.

There have been similar developments in numerous other countries of the region, including the very recent and violent Libyan uprising that began after it’s people witnessed the Tunisian revolution’s success.

These protests were perhaps the bloodiest of all with the intervention of NATO and it’s bombing campaign against proGaddafi forces.

While the bloodshed and violence has taken its toll, Gaddafi and his family are no longer in power and Libyans throughout the country are rejoicing at the opportunity to

rebuild their nation and start over.

The uprisings have received widespread support from most governments and people across the world. However, each of the revolutionized nations is at a crucial point in its respective history. It would be foolhardy to ignore the possibility of power being handed to those who are weak administrators, have ulterior motives or shaky ideals.

On top of everything, they must also be extremely wary of being influenced by the charming words of outsiders who wish to use the rejuvenated countries for their own benefit.

Al Qaeda, for example, see the change in the Arab World as an opportunity to spread their ideologies. It is of little surprise that they have complimented them on their victorious struggles and have begun to spread their propaganda against America.

They have advised the Arab countries to be wary of America, who want to, in the words of Al Qaeda Chief Ayman al Zawahiri, “replace one tyrant after another.”

However, it seems the terrorist

Cartoon

outfit is late to the party in terms of influencing the movement.

All its anti-American statements have been relatively baseless in this case and contrary to all evidence.

Perhaps the most important aspect to note from all the uprisings is the reversal of political disillusionment among the people in the affected areas.

They no longer feel powerless and have set a precedent that citizens can raise their voice and make a difference against what they believe is wrong.

However, it is important to make sure that any changes that occur ultimately benefit the entire nation and world. The people of many Arab countries now hold the key to their future.

It is essential that they not lose focus of what they had set out to achieve and must be cautious of not falling back into the hole they have finally clawed their way out of.

A U S T I N

By CHRISTINE JONAS Associate A&E editor cjonas@smu.edu

One of fall’s biggest music festivals, Austin City Limits, starts Friday, celebrating it’s 10th anniversary with four huge headliners, 121 other bands and up-and-coming performers and a vast amount of activities to spice up this years celebration.

The outdoor festival, held at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas has eight stages which allows for multiple performances to happen at the same time.

Texas weather can be unpredictable in mid-September, forecasts for the weekend look decent, but be prepared for anything.

The forecast puts the temperature around 95 degrees all three days, with a 30 percent chance of rain on Sunday.

Opening day starts Friday at 11:15 a.m. kicking off the threeday festival that ends Sunday at 10 p.m.

In the early afternoon on Friday there is a wide range of artists to choose from.

A few of the stand out performances between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. are Bright Eyes, Santigold, Foster the People, Pretty Lights, Nas and Damian Marley.

Think it is going to be hard to decide who to see during the day?

Well, brace yourself because the decisions only get harder as the day goes on.

Opening day ends with two heavy hitters, one by the name of Kanye West and the other a band known as Coldplay.

Unfortunately, and misunderstood by many festival goers, Mr. West and Coldplay are performing at the same time Friday night.

Coldplay plays from 8:10 p.m. to 9:40 p.m., while Kanye plays from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Those of you who are fans of both performers will have to make the “Sophie’s Choice” of music festivals and choose which show to attend.

C I T Y Saturday continues to provide a wide range of musical talent The performers that are exciting many festival attendees are: Iron & Wine, TV on the Radio, Cee Lo, Cut Copy and Chromeo.

All of these bands perform between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., giving you time to head over to the final act of the day.

Starting at 8 p.m., and playing a full two hour set, is Mr. Stevie Wonder himself.

The man-behind-the-shades is predicted to be the highlight of the weekend.

Wonder had transformed the music industry for the past 50 years and continues to do so today, proving that this will be a history making concert to attend.

If you are planning on only seeing one show all weekend (which would be crazy, but I’m trying to make a point here), then Stevie Wonder is definitely the one to choose.

To celebrate the festival’s

decade milestone, this is forecasted as one of the greatest shows in the festival’s history.

Wrapping up the festival, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, are crowd favorites such as Social Distortion, Empire of the Sun, Fleet Foxes, Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses and Broken Social Scene.

Going out with a bang, the festival will end with Arcade Fire performing from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The last show of the festival is always a must-see-event and this will not disappoint.

Arcade Fire will be the only performance after 8:30 p.m., so there are no excuses to not be there.

If you are seeking good stage position for any of the four headliners, it is advised to attend some of the shows at the same stage leading up to the headliners, allowing you to stake out your crowd location earlier in the day.

The performances attract the large crowds, but ACL brings the

“Honestly, I would rather live in Iraq under Saddam Hussein’s regime than how the country is today,” Alford said.

Alford spent the second half of her lecture presenting her latest project, “Bottom of ‘Da Boot: Land Loss and Oil on Louisiana’s Coast” about the disappearing coastline in Louisiana.

She has spent time with some of the locals, including the Native American tribes in the area, and explained that their land is literally disappearing into the ocean with each new hurricane and through the intensive oil drilling.

Alford’s photos accurately explain the stories she wants to tell, bringing the truth to situations that are not being talked about honestly, or at all.
