New opportunity at Meadows allows students to create their own careers Trevor Cadigan Contributing Writer tcadigan@smu.edu James Hart got his master’s degree in fine arts from the Yale School of Drama in 1999. He learned about acting and directing in his program, and how to compete artistically with others, but not how to make a living. Hart said he saw his talented colleagues surviving on unemployment checks between gigs and said to himself: “There has to be another way.” In 2004, Hart decided to go to work for himself and founded The International Theatre Academy Norway – a conservatory for theater entrepreneurship in Oslo, Norway. His goal was to build the school he wished he had gone to, with classes that focused on entrepreneurship. Today, he’s director of arts entrepreneurship and assistant professor of practice in the Division of Arts Management and Arts Entrepreneurship at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts. He wants to make sure that other arts graduates do not encounter the same difficulties that he did.
Arts graduates know how to create art. “But they don’t know how to survive or thrive. It’s just not addressed,” he said. The 4-year-old program – offered as a minor – provides students an array of businessoriented courses that emphasize arts budgeting and financial management, attracting capital, and developing an arts venture plan, with the vision of providing students the necessary tools to ensure a successful career after graduation. “Arts entrepreneurship not only teaches me that creating opportunities is possible and fulfilling, it also equips me with skills to realize those opportunities,” said senior Ryan-Patrick McLaughlin, a major in theatre with minors in arts entrepreneurship and arts management. McLaughlin hopes to someday start his own theatre company. A 2010-2011 Georgetown report cited a 10 percent unemployment rate for people graduating with a major in fine arts.

The Pratt Collection contains first-edition books, magazine collections and architecture journals.
Pratt Collection joins the Hunt Institute CHRISTINA COX Managing Editor clcox@smu.edu Dallas is a city built for its people. Architect James Pratt laid the foundation of this pedestrian-friendly city six decades ago when he began to design and restore Dallas to a modern yet human place. Pratt drew inspiration from his books, travels and surroundings. He used his studies and experiences to design structures that were collaborative and inventive. Pratt chose to donate The James Pratt Collection on Urbanism, Architecture, Art and Humanity to the Hunt Institute for Engineering and Humanity because of his connection to Dallas and SMU. His personal collection of first-edition books, architecture-related magazines, monographs and other research materials was dedicated to
SMU’s campus Monday. It will open to students and the public Oct. 1. “With this collection we can […] catch a glimpse into James, his career and what was in the background when James was creating,” keynote speaker Peter Brown, AIA, said. “It speaks into the humanity of architecture.” Brown stated that Pratt was more than just a visionary architect. He was also a humanitarian, addressing the designs of his buildings on a civic, business, religious, retail and educational scale in order to tie where people live to who they are as individuals. The collection provides an insight into the inspirations in Pratt’s practice and his influences on the city of Dallas. The Hunt Institute works to shift poverty through innovation, action and empowerment instead of through charity. The
Institute combines minds from various fields of interest to improve living conditions and solve humanitarian issues. It is this common goal between Pratt’s work and the Hunt Institute that connects the lifework of Pratt to the Lyle School of Engineering. Pratt said that his library will improve the already strong academic departments at SMU and might become a catalyst for creating a master of architecture degree within the university. Hunter Hunt hopes the collection will encourage SMU students to create something new and different. It will also act as a resource for engineering students wishing to work in the humanitarian field. “This [collection] is the essence of what we’ve been trying to push,” Hunt said.

The event is the sorority’s largest philanthropy event of the year, featuring a competition composed of humorous water games and food from businesses near campus. All proceeds went to Service for Sight, the national Delta Gamma nonprofit founded to benefit the visually impaired. Delta Gamma brought in a

Entertainment took the form of dancing, socializing and watching an aquatic competition composed of four events: a relay race, cannonball contest, synchronized swimming competition and a game called “Save a DG” where participants had to race to pull a DG on an inflatable in the middle of the pool to the edge, where the rest of their teams stood.

Hermann joins Ralph Lauren Brittney Effner Contributing Writer beffner@smu.edu The brand Ralph Lauren evokes a sense of American pride. Consumers think of it as the American uniform, clothes that men or women carefully select from their closet after working hard to achieve the American dream. While the price tag may cause some to shy away, their multiple labels such as Denim and Supply, Polo by Ralph Lauren, and Ralph Lauren Purple Label have appealed to the masses and led to the Ralph Lauren brand being one of the most recognized in the world. However, there is no denying that a Ralph Lauren jean jacket or purse does not create the fevered craving that a Louis Vuitton bag or a Cartier bracelet does. Teenage girls do not beg their parents for Ralph Lauren on their 16th birthday, knowing that they are more likely to receive a car then they are to receive that treasured designer item, and because of that they are not often considered a highend luxury brand. There is no red sole to Ralph Lauren and, though Christian Louboutin and Ralph are not in direct competition, there is no doubt that Ralph Lauren wants to be at the same caliber. As Ralph Lauren pushes to become a high-end brand they realized they were lacking some key

Enter Valérie Hermann, Ralph Lauren’s newly appointed president of luxury collections. Hermann is no stranger to the fashion world as she leaves her position of CEO at Reed Krakoff, a position she fulfilled for six years along with serving as CEO for Saint Laurent. This position was created specifically for Hermann and she will be reporting directly to Ralph Lauren himself. “This is a very exciting moment for our Company,” said Lauren in a press release. “Luxury epitomizes the aspirational aesthetic of the Ralph Lauren brand, and we felt that it was time to capitalize on the success we have achieved by leveraging the collective strengths of our luxury portfolio and placing them under a single leader.

Speaker challenges SMU sorority women to confront stereotypes Kasey Ruth Contributing Writer kruth@smu.edu All eight sorority chapters of SMU joined together Monday evening to turn a listening ear to David Stollman’s message. Stollman spoke to members about the true meaning of being in a sorority while stressing the importance of breaking the stereotypes that go along with wearing Greek letters. During his speech, Stollman kept the audience engaged by confronting serious topics in a funny, yet interactive style. “Listening to the speaker made me re-evaluate what it means to be a part of a sorority and the sisterhood I joined. It is so easy to get caught up in the social aspect of sorority and fraternity life—and he was a great reminder of what the core values of sisterhood is all about,” sophomore Molly West said. Stollman pushed members to confront the stereotypes that are thrown their way. He named some common fraternity stereotypes like alcoholism, sexual assault, poor grades, hazing, fighting,

enjoying the event Tracy Nelson, VP Philanthropy of Delta Gamma, expressed her anticipation and hopes for the event. “There are a lot of people from across campus participating which is exciting,” Nelson said. “We’re also just excited to kick off the year.

According to Director of the Hunt Institute for Engineering and Humanity Eva Casky, 38 percent of Americans live in poverty. One million people in Dallas alone contribute to this percentage. Casky believes that the new collection will improve these numbers because, “innovation and engineering have the power to influence communities,” she said. Pratt lived and worked by the same principles, working to make Dallas a better community. According to The Pratt Collection Notebook, Pratt’s contributions to Dallas extended beyond the tangible. He was able to use design to lessen racial disparities, reverse urban sprawl and promote urbanization. “He never saw Dallas as it was, preferring to see visions of future developments instead, 10, 20, 50 years away,” The Pratt Collection

facing. He has a powerful message that I believe every Greek member on this campus should hear.” David said members need to “buy in or get out.” He encouraged those who are said to bring down a chapter to re-evaluate what their founders consider respectable. “I hope people in my program walk away with a renewed challenge to live up to what their organizations’ values are truly about and to meet those obligations in their personal lives,” Stollman said. Stollman said he enjoys speaking to SMU Greek life because he thinks the Panhellenic sororities here have great potential that they are close to fully realizing. He believes in what the sororities here are about, and that they are making women better. If they decided to actively challenge some of their problems-- they can do a better job at that.
vandalism and drug abuse. The stereotypes mentioned of sororities were promiscuity, stupidity and substance abuse. “There may be some people that fall into these stereotypes, but there are many more that uphold the values that David Stollman spoke about,” sophomore Mia Wennick said.
David stressed the five important values each chapter should obtain: fellowship, leadership, academics, service and morality. SMU Panhellenic sponsored the event and VP of Programming Sarah Lynn Woodruff told The Daily Campus why they brought in David Stollman for the seventh year in a row.
“David brings a new perspective to sorority life. He says the things that no one else will say which really gets everyone in the room thinking,” Woodruff said. “He inspires those that want to care about the core values of sorority life. He challenges everyone to be the best they can be and brings up tough topics that SMU Panhellenic sororities are currently
both Greek and non-Greek, and also just to get out and meet some new people.” Prior to the competition, the crowd congregated around the Falls to dance and partake of the various treats offered there, but as soon as event coordinator Jamie Hinz announced that it was time for the competition to begin, students piled into the aquatics center to watch. Teams were all Greek, divided into sorority and fraternity brackets and made up of 8-10 members each. The first event on the docket
was the cannonball contest. Each successive splash was met with applause from bystanders and teammates alike. Next up was the relay race in which Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi took first in their respective brackets. After the relay race, teams prepared to participate in “Save a DG.” Beta Theta Pi and Delta Delta Delta took first in this event, speedily pulling their DGs to safety. The finale was the crowdpleasing synchronized swimming competition. Anchor Splash judge
and referee Kathleen Batman said that the teams would be judged on criteria such as originality, technique and DG spirit. Firstyear students Lauren Sanders and Joanna Khorey said that it was their favorite event stating that it was cute to watch guys try to dance. Sanders and Khorey also commented on how much they enjoyed Anchor Splash as a whole, noting that they were happy to have met as many people as they did and how fun the DGs made the event. “I don’t know if it’s enjoyable because it’s wildly entertaining or
because it’s entertainingly wild,” senior Will O’Connor said. At the end of the event, Gamma Phi Beta and Beta Theta Pi came out on top, taking home the title of 2014 Anchor Splash Champions. The themes of the day seemed to be those of community and fun as students from all around campus joined in the fun-filled atmosphere of Anchor Splash. “I think it went really well,” Nelson said. “We had a lot more people show up than we were expecting and I think everyone had a really good time.”
have an active web presence meant to showcase their work through social media and other sharing sites to market themselves to employers. “You’re going to have to go to the world and make yourself relevant before the world comes to you,” Holland said. Power said he’s learned the importance of taking risks and effective communication. He said he was drawn to the program because he wanted a strong understanding of the business side of fine arts. In addition to teaching students about the business side of the arts, the curriculum is designed to provide students an opportunity to cultivate unique ideas. Students may want to take advantage of this opportunity in different ways: Meadows Exploration Grants; the Big iDeas program, a three-tier process with an award of up to $11,000; and Accelerating Your Startup, a course under development in which students are given $5,000 to start their projects and receive mentoring at the Dallas Entrepreneurship Center.
Leaders of the entrepreneurship program say their students enjoy a unique advantage: they are taught to know and grow their customer base and “to serve heroically as they create.” Holland explained that an element of heroism is present in any artistic discipline. The artist is “swimming upstream against powerful downstream currents,” he said. “One who is calling out the world as they see it and trying to make it a better place.” Junior Chase Harker relates the courage and bravery seen in heroic stories to the uncertainty a person faces in being an entrepreneur. Harker believes that to be a hero one must serve their community. “You’re changing the world in a way that only you can think of to better serve those around you,” he said.
Notebook states. Pratt’s major contributions include work connecting Fair Park to downtown and the Dallas Convention Center, improving the Trinity River corridor, creating the Quadrangle shopping center, Brookhaven College and the St. Stephen United Methodist Church. He also restored the 1893 Dallas County Courthouse and the Federal Reserve Bank façade and completed Exposition Plaza. Brown stated that every project Pratt worked on had an understanding of scale and what it means to design for cities and people. His work and collection now acts as a bridge for the next generation of architects and engineers. As Brown asked the audience: “The city is on the watch of your generation. What will you do with it?”

According to golden ratio calculations, celebrity Angelina Jolie possesses a “perfect face.”
Why the ‘golden ratio’ shouldn’t define modern standards of beauty olivia nguyen Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu Aristotle created a wellknown philosophy called the “golden mean.” In summary, the golden mean is a desirable middle lying between two extremes. For example, Aristotle praised that courage was a necessary virtue; however, in excess it would manifest into recklessness, and in moderation it would become cowardice. The Greeks not only applied his philosophy regarding character, but also in beauty. The concept of the golden mean transformed into the golden ratio, also known as the golden section or divine proportion. The golden ratio has allowed humans, over time, to form the modern concept of how beauty is measured. According to the theory, the human face can be measured to see if it fits the divine proportions based on the following attributes: Center of pupil : Bottom of teeth : Bottom of chin • Outer & inner edge of eye: Center of nose • Outer edges of lips : Upper ridges of lips • Width of center tooth : Width of second tooth • Width of eye : Width of iris If these measurements equate to 0.36 vertically and 0.46 horizontally (using the golden ratio ruler), then the face should be “perfect.” While this theory seems a bit far-fetched, research has proved that humans distinguish other humans as “beautiful” or “handsome” by the symmetry of their faces. In the scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,” research
showed that “balanced facial features are considered more beautiful by observers, confirming notions by the ancient Greeks that symmetry is an important ingredient in human judgments of beauty.” It is also noted that humans may also find facial symmetry appealing because biological records show that equal proportions often indicated good health and genes. Study team member William Brown of Brunel University said that if someone were to have asymmetrical features, biologically speaking they would not be as successful in finding a mate to reproduce. “Subtle departures from symmetry may reflect poor development or exposure to environmental or genetic stress,” Brown said. “In many species these departures are related to poor health, lower survival, and fewer offspring.” Biological research and Aristotle’s theory portrays symmetry as the only indicator of aesthetic beauty. This idea is supported today, especially in advertising modeling. Photographers have invested millions in Photoshop and other beauty-enhancing technologies to rearrange models’ face and body proportions. Proof regarding this accusation has been confirmed through celebrities like Shailene Woodley and Keira Knightley, exposing that advertising and fashion industries morph actual bodies to fit the “mold.” Woodley revealed in an interview that she had been photoshopped and did not recognize some parts of her own body. “I had boobs about three times the size they are in real life. My
stomach was completely flat. My skin was also flawless. But the reality is that I do not have those lips and I do have a little bit of a stomach. It was not a proper representation of who I am,” Woodley said. The concept of the golden ratio is almost impossible to reach. Very few people are genetically blessed enough to have an evenly shaped face, straight nose, high cheekbones and perfectly-sized lips. This is why we should disregard the golden ratio. We try so hard to appear perfect, yet that standard is impossible to reach. Aristotle may have been right regarding the golden mean, but to only be considered immaculate through genetic luck is absurd. Asymmetrical factors and other genetic “mutations” can actually be positive predispositions that contribute to aesthetic beauty. There are one-sided dimples. There’s that freckle on your chin. There’s that little bump on your nose. These quirks that make us feel self-conscious are what ironically make us unique. Aesthetic beauty may happen to consist of symmetry, but overall beauty is reliant on self-confidence and happiness. Whenever you feel inadequate, take a moment to appreciate the differences that make you feel special. Realize that out of seven billion people, you don’t look like everyone else. Your thoughts, your interests and your looks are yours. You were created different for a reason, and that should motivate you to stay true to yourself and love yourself. In a world where it has become so rare to love yourself, be someone who is unashamed to do so.

Before coming to SMU, I never had a need for a fake ID. In my small town, there was nothing to do besides cow tipping and house parties that were busted by the cops within 10 minutes. SMU was kind of a culture shock. It seems like everyone goes out, parties and is “21.” I’ve heard multiple first-years say they bought a fake ID months before coming to campus because they heard it was mandatory for a good time. Firstyears that don’t have fakes say they tend to feel left out when their friends go out and they think they to buy one ASAP. But have no fear, I survived until 21 without a fake and you can, too! Although we seem to be a minority on campus, we do exist, and it’s not that hard to have fun without a fake ID. 1. Just don’t go out. Now, I know this is a hard concept to grasp for some of you, but not going out is an option. There are movies for days on Netflix and Hulu to watch, billions of books to read and plenty of conversation to have. 2. Go to 18+ clubs/bars.
Now, if not going out is simply not an option, 18+ clubs are. Dallas has plenty of places for underage students to go to and still have a blast. From restaurants on lower Greenville Avenue to different clubs scattered around Dallas, the options are endless. 3. Take a step back in time. Take a group and go bowling or make a small road trip to Ennis, Texas where the Galaxy Drive-In Theatre is. At the drive-in they boast “movies rain or stars” and they have a mixture of month-old movies to latest releases. Even if you are 21, it’s something to experience. 4. Go dancing. You don’t have to be 21 to enjoy a good Texas twostepping dance session at Billy Bob’s or dance down the cobblestone street at the Fort Worth Stockyards. You have to experience seeing real Longhorns walk through a town full of people or go to a packed Country concert before you graduate. If you’re still reading this and thinking, “Man, Hanan, I don’t know. I don’t think I can survive.” Your years fly by fast enough in college. Take a breather. Slow down, and enjoy this time while you have it because before you know it, you’ll blink and it’ll be senior year. Have more doubts? Come find me, we’ll talk and I’ll take you to dance at the Stockyards.

A female powerlifter demonstrates proper deadlift form.
Lone soldier: the solitary life as a female weightlifter in the gym Olivia nguyen Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu My clock reads 3:45 p.m. I stop my work and turn my chair around, looking at the small designated “fitness” section of my room. In the corner of my room lies pre workout, protein powders, blender bottles and vitamins. I shuffle over and open up one of my blender bottles. I take out my favorite flavor of C-4 and mix in one scoop with water. I chug what I can and then try to swallow the sandy remnants before going about my routine. I wait for the caffeine from my pre workout to sink in. As I feel the slight numbing on my face and the jittering in my hands I know I’m about ready to leave. Once I’m done getting dressed, I put on my earbuds and select my “WORKOUT” playlist. From trap to rap to catchy pop hits, every song keeps me upbeat and stimulated so I can push myself in the gym. I pack gum, water, my student ID card and my post workout protein in my bag and head out. I walk down to the first-level of the gym and go straight past the treadmills, ellipticals and bikes. I keep my head low and enter uncharted territory: the boys’ side of the gym. Pretending to text a friend, I
manage to fish my way through the sea of testosterone and head over to my mini-haven. At the far end of the gym by the Olympic lifting platforms lies a bench where I feel safe. I put down my bag, pull out a stick of gum and increase the volume on my phone as I stretch. My mind is relaxed and I focus in on my workout of the day. My intermixed hypertrophy and strength training program tells me today is leg day. I look over to my left and see cohorts of men occupying every squat rack and wait. When one group decides to leave, the two-to-three minute window is when I normally run in and reserve my place. I place my towel and water bottle adjacent to the rack and lower the safeties to fit my 5’5 stature. As I go through my workout, I notice a few glares and cold looks by some people. Snarky comments like, “She looks so bulky” or the typical,” she’s pretty strong...for a girl” can be heard through my music. I feel a little uneasy but continue to do my workout. The awkward stares I receive from other girls and sometimes creepy looks I get from other guys makes me rethink going to the gym altogether. While malicious looks or side comments may not be meant to be offensive (or heard), the feeling
of being an outlier in the gym sometimes deters my motivation to go. Some days I just want to go on the treadmill or StairMaster to be with the other girls an have that be my thing. I wish I had the stamina and passion to run, but sadly, the chemistry just wasn’t there. What makes me happy is being able to do an unassisted dip, or multiple resistance-band pull ups. What I love is the adrenaline I get after pulling through that deadlift or going all the way down for a heavy squat and being able to get back up. The dynamic of “you get what you put in” appropriately applies to weight lifting and that’s why I love doing it. Seeing months of progress pay off and continuing to grow stronger and learn more never ceases to amaze me. Not only have I enjoyed tracking my own progress, but working out with like-minded people who share the same goals has allowed me to become more comfortable accepting that lifting is something that I really enjoy doing. Now, I don’t look at the floor and avoid people when I go to the gym. I’m happy to say lifting is something I do and I don’t feel ashamed for being one of the handful of girls who do.

Check out this playlist created by Zoe Mattioli to spice up your school week.
Songs to spice up your week Zoe mattioli Writer zmattioli@gmail.com
we all embrace so dearly. You can stream the album in full on Spotfiy as soon as next week.
It’s mid-September and school is finally starting to get serious. More coursework means less free time to dedicate to your favorite hobbies including (but not limited to) Netflix, cornhole, getting your money’s worth of your Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Pass and scouring the intertwebz for good, free music. Well, we do what we can to help here at The Daily Campus so we’ve provided you with a handful of trending music to not only get you through the work week, but also for you to play at all your social gatherings this weekend for ultimate vibes. So go ahead and fire up the playlist and be sure to check the track listing below for more after the break.
3. ODESZA – Say My Name feat. Zyra Speaking of albums, the Seattlebased electronic duo ODESZA just released their incredibly anticipated album, “In Return.” These guys have been on the rise for a while but the build up for this release has been monumental for them, not to mention the album itself is grrrreat. I’ve actually never heard an ODESZA song I didn’t like.
1. Sigma – Changing (Klingande Remix) feat. Paloma Faith You might recognize the name Klingande from their absolutely addicting single “Jubel,” but it’s been about a year since we’ve seen anything from them since. Now reduced to one member, the French producer has finally released something and wow the wait was so worth it. I haven’t stopped listening to this since I downloaded it so don’t say you weren’t warned when the same happens to you. 2. alt-J – Left Hand Free The English indie rock band also known as ∆ is finally back with their sophomore project, “This Is All Yours.” Out of the handful of singles they put out leading up to the album release, this one was my favorite. Not to mention the music video just oozes that Texan spirit

4. Mr. Carmack – Bells Carmack, man, I had to. I can’t make a list like this without squeezing him in somewhere. This track is pulled from the “Stussy x Soulection Compilation” which features 20 tracks from all of Soulection’s finest, from Esta to Jarreu Vandal to Evil Needle. If you don’t know about Soulection, then you better stop everything you’re doing, download this compilation via Bandcamp, and shut the rest of the world out as you dive into it on full blast. 5. Sam Smith – I’m Not The Only One feat. A$AP Rocky A beautiful juxtaposition of A$AP’s rhymes over Smith’s passionate, heart-wrenching vocals. Simple as that. 6. Kyla La Grange – Cut Your Teeth (20syl Remix) This track originally by Kyla La Grange, who you should file under “Femme Fatales to Keep Your Eye On,” exploded after Norwegian producer Kygo gave it his tropical, magic touch. But in my humble opinion, French producer 20syl’s version is just way cooler, not to
mention worlds different than the original. 7. SBTRKT, Raury – Higher We’ve seen a lot of activity from SBTRKT lately, building up momentum for the release of his next album Wonder Where We Land. This track features upcoming cunning linguist Raury, an 18year old rapper whose come up has been so hot he’s even piqued Kanye West’s interest. You can catch SBTRKT at the House of Blues on October 12th, and listen to “Higher” via YouTube since it hasn’t been uploaded to the cloud as of yet.
9. 50 Cent – 21 Questions (SNBRN Remix) For fans of Bakermat, Gamper & Dadaoni, and the like. SNBRN manages to take dirty house and Fiddy Cent von deepah. 10. Snakehips -- After I Met U Gotta save the best for last. Based in the UK, this producing duo has had a stronghold on my No. 1 slot for over a year now. This track they casually released on the side embodies their uplifting, feel good beats with old school R&B vocals. Love them.

incident? F**king illuminati.” Besides her riotous interactions with the audience, the girl can belt out the high notes and can rap with the best while still keeping some of her London swagger, proving it by covering The Weeknd’s “Or Nah” during her encore. After one of her older hits, “F**k You,” closed out her set, people began to file out. But if I’ve learned anything from concerts, it’s to not leave until the lights come on. And of course, she came back out for a rocking encore after a quarter of the crowd was already out the door. “It’s kind of a celebratory week for me because I wrote this next song 10 years ago this week,” Allen said as she proceeded to sing her first mainstream single “Smile.” It was apparent that she was having a blast on stage and really loved what she was doing. If she proved one thing to the audience at the House of Blues ,it was that she was down-toearth and one of us.
8. Ryn Weaver – Stay Low Move aside Ariana Grande, Ryn Weaver is the sweetest thing to hit the music industry since “blank.” This lil darlin’ runs in the same circles as artists like Charli XCX, Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat which explains just how loveable she is from her music to her personality. Her single “OctaHate” was enormously popular over the summer so I hit you with the lesser known and personal favorite, “Stay Low.”

One of the most underrated artists on the music scene right now took the stage Monday night in front of a packed crowd at the House of Blues. Lily Allen, an alternative pop, UK-based performer signed under Regal Recordings – under Parlophone Records, is hot on the scene right now making a comeback from her 2009 hiatus with her current “Sheezus” album. The visit to Dallas was long anticipated, but definitely worth the wait. The crowd began small while her Norwegian opener, Samsaya, warmed up the crowd with her strong M.I.A, Sia, Charli XCX-like vocals. But the moment Samsaya walked off the stage, it seemed the entire city of Dallas swarmed to the venue. Beginning her set with her single “Sheezus,” Allen rocked the show from the very start. Ending her week-long visit in Dallas, Allen proclaimed her
love for America and Texas. “We went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and I bought a s***ton of these cups things with straws. I love America!” Allen introduced every song with a personal story behind why she wrote it and what it meant to her. She became particularly emotional before singing “As Long As I Got You,” which is about her family. “I normally get really nostalgic when I sing this song. But my babies and my husband are here. They’re on the bus. So it’s kind of a happier tune tonight,” Allen said. Throughout the show, Allen openly drank and smoked cigarettes on stage which led to hilarious interactions with the audience. She treated the audience like a friend on stage at a karaoke bar, minus the bad vocals. At one point, she walked out with her Drake versus Lil Wayne shirt on and made a reference to Kanye. “Everyone should be on their f**king feet dancing! Unless... did you hear about the Kanye

Dechambeau helps lead USA in WATC
Mustangs split two games at SMU Invite Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu
Dechambeau shot a single-round record 10-under 61.
patrick engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu SMU golfer Bryson Dechambeau was a key player in his team’s success last season. As a sophomore, he won the individual American Athletic Conference Championship which helped propel the Mustangs to the AAC title. SMU also secured a berth in the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2005. This past weekend, Dechambeau kept shining. He led the United States team to victory at the World Amateur Team Championships in Karuizawa, Japan, sinking a nine-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to secure a two-stroke win over Canada at the Karuizawa 72 Golf East course. Dechambeau described the feeling of clinching the title as “complete elation.” “I said, ‘Look, all I can do is do my best, and if I give it my all that’s all I can ask for,’” Dechambeau said. “I hit the putt and it rolled over a ball mark and went right into the hole. I was super excited, not only for myself, but also for Team USA. We played great all week and everyone contributed.” Dechambeau’s most impressive performance at the WATC came last Friday. He shot
a single-round record 10-under 61, including 29 on his first nine holes. He made six straight birdies as part of his 11 birdies of the day. The United States team set a record score of 534 (38-under par) for the event and has now won two consecutive WATC titles. “I was fortunate enough to represent the U.S. at the Palmer Cup, but this one felt a little different,” Dechambeau said. “It was with the USGA, and it was only three guys this time, so it was more of a prestigious invitation to get. It’s such an honor. I can’t explain it any other way, and it’s something I’ll remember forever.” The tournament came right down to the wire. The Americans were tied with Canada at 37-under par before Dechambeau and Canada’s Corey Conners hit their drives from the 18th tee. Dechambeau hit his approach shot with a 50-degree wedge from 110 yards out and nailed the putt that sealed the win. “As I walked up [to the 18th tee], I saw that we were tied, both at 37-under,” he said. “I knew that both of our scores were counting, because I knew [teammate] Beau [Hossler] hadn’t that played that well that day, and I knew some guys on Canada hadn’t played that well that day.” If two teams are tied at the end of 18, the team whose third player shot the better round wins.

Hossler, the third player for the U.S., shot a 75, while Canada’s third player, Taylor Pendrith, shot a 70. Dechambeau knew that if the two teams were tied after 18, Canada would have won because of Pendrith’s lower score. “I knew going down 18 that I had to beat [Conners] outright for us to win,” he said. “I stepped up on the tee and knew I had to make a birdie.” Fellow U.S. team member Denny McCarthy, who golfs for the University of Virginia, posted the United States’ top score in the final round with an 8-under 64 and event-record 28 on the front nine. Dechambeau tied for eighth individually at 16-under par for the tournament. SMU men’s golf started its season Monday at the GolfWeek Conference Challenge in Burlington, Iowa. Dechambeau was forced to miss the event because of his participation in the WATC. The Mustangs finished in second place in the event. They compete next in the Erin Hills Intercollegiate in Erin, Wisconsin in early October. The golf team endured some trouble over the summer despite last season’s success. Then-Head Coach Josh Gregory resigned in July amid allegations of recruiting violations. Jason Enloe, an SMU assistant at the time, was named head coach shortly after.
After splitting their two games of the SMU Invitational, two things are certain: SMU is now 2-3-0 in 2014, and the Mustangs have a big-time weapon in junior Idrissa Camara. While SMU was held scoreless in a 1-0 loss to Missouri State to open the tournament Friday, Camara provided the bulk of the Mustangs’ points in a 3-1 win over Stony Brook on the final night of the SMU Invite. “I thought that for parts of the [Missouri State] game we did well and fought hard,” Head Coach Tim McClements said. “Missouri State did a good job of disrupting play, but I think the bottom line is we didn’t generate enough quality chances on goal.” Camara scored his first two
goals as a Mustang and earned recognition from the American Athletic Conference by being named to the weekly honor roll. During SMU’s win, Camara found the back of the net in just the second minute. Freshman teammate Abdul Yassine’s shot was saved by SBU keeper Tom McMahon, but Camara fired the rebound to put SMU up 1-0. SMU rode its 1-0 lead into the second half but after the break Camara struck again for the game winner. The Mustangs piled it on with another goal in the 65th minute, courtesy of Stanton Garcia. Jared Rice set up the goal with a well placed corner to set up Garcia’s header “We were able to generate more entries into the box tonight and guys were hungry to get on the end of it. When you do that
SMU is now 2-3-0 in the 2014 season.
you develop opportunities to score and fortunately we put a few in the back of the net,” McClements said. Redshirt firstyear Michael Nelson made four saves in the second half against SBU and finished the weekend with six. “Our defensive approach is the same every game. We try to limit them to as few shots as possible, as few entries as possible and the guys did a great job with that,” McClements added. “They’re the start of our attack as well and I’m really proud of the way the defenders played, and the way Michael played in goal.” Camara and company will host Oral Roberts 5 p.m. Friday at Westcott field.
