Student leaders weigh in on voting SIDNEY HOLLINGSWORTH / The Daily Campus

SPECTRUM has launched a boycott of the on-campus Chick-fil-A. In mid-July, the company stood by its decision to support a network of anti-gay marriage groups.

SMU’s SPECTRUM launches boycott against Chick-fil-A TASHIKA VARMA Editor in Chief tvarma@smu.edu SPECTRUM will be leading a boycott of the on-campus Chickfil-A because of Chick-fil-A’s actions as a company. SPECTRUM is an organization where people of all sexual orientations come together and help stand for equality in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. SPECTRUM is leading this boycott because of Chick-fil-A’s donations of millions of dollars to hate groups that actively support anti-gay initiatives. These groups include conversion therapy for gays and lesbians, the criminalization of homosexuality, and the support of the infamous Uganda “kill gays” bill. The idea of the boycott came from Chick-fil-A’s presence in the news in mid-July. “However, the real fuel for this was the political will of several

SMU students that had emailed me over the summer and the beginning of the school year that were highly disturbed by the actions of the company and that were looking towards SPECTRUM to help facilitate action,” SPECTRUM Co-President Harvey Luna said. “SPECTRUM has always had a moral obligation to this campus when it comes to facilitating action on such political issues.” SPECTRUM began this a 13week long boycott on Sept. 12. The 13-week idea came from Campus Services. Luna told The Daily Campus that he sat with Julie Wiksten, the associate vice president of Campus Services, and Michael Marr, the senior director of dining services, during the first week of school to investigate SPECTRUM’s options moving forward with the issue of having Chick-fil-A on campus. Wiksten and Marr explained that since there were years left until the contract expired and that there is very little the university could do

at the time, according to Luna. “Given the meeting I had with university officials, the only way to warrant removing & replacing the on campus Chick-fil-A was if its revenues go down substantially for 13 consecutive weeks,” Luna said. “Thus, our 13-week boycott aims at achieving our final goal which is to successfully remove the on campus Chick-fil-A from SMU.” Wiksten told The Daily Campus “the University contracts with ARAMARK to manage and operate dining services on campus.” In turn, ARAMARK contracts with the various branded concepts once the brands are mutually agreed upon by ARAMARK and the university. The university does not contract directly with branded concepts. We are constantly assessing the brands on campus to be sure we have the right mix.” The organization wants to bring in individual students and other SMU organizations through educating the student body. SPECTRUM will begin tabling in

hopes to educate the public about practices of the company and the consequences of spending money at Chick-fil-A. “I believe that food shouldn’t have to do with our freedom to love,” freshman biology and advertising major Peter Ngo said. “When Chick-fil-A is publicly supporting anti-gay organization that try to threaten that freedom, a boycott of the restaurant is a nonviolent protest from my part. The initial launch will include tabling, petitions and a pledge for individuals to sign that they will not eat at the on-campus Chick-fil-A. The tabling will begin on Sept. 24 and continue every Monday for the following 13 weeks. “As SMU begins to learn more details about where the financial contributions of Chick-fil-A go and what it funds, I expect this issue to be framed around dignity and respect. The reason why this cause is so important is because it

KATELYN GOUGH News Editor kgough@smu.edu The Republican and Democratic National Conventions came and went a few weeks ago, leaving America with the two party candidates Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. Now that voting for the presidential election is less than seven weeks away, those of voting age can narrow down his or her candidate choice. But members of the SMU community, and even voters around the country, appear to be struggling with their decisions. After the two conventions, many young voters find themselves conflicted. Sophomore Madeline DockeryFuhrmann said that she is excited for her first opportunity to vote for the next president, she finds herself getting lost in the campaigning chaos. “It’s hard to get excited for this election when it feels like I am voting for a brand name rather than a person who is going to handle the very real issues,” Docker-Fuhrmann said. “[I want] to vote based on facts about the candidates, [but it’s] difficult to sift through all the campaigning.” Michael Graves, president of the Texas Freedom Network,

said that even though students may not be educated enough to feel confident in choosing a candidate, they are still motivated to vote. Graves admits while there may not be a “leading” candidate in every voter’s mind, people recognize the need for action. “I think that students care about the elections, but I also think that many vote strongly with their parents,” Graves said. “I feel like we’re trying to figure out who is going to not let the country sit stagnant.” Professor Calvin Jillson said many voters are “ambivalent” about their upcoming presidential choice because they “lack confidence in both parties” on the ballot. “[Voters] ask, if Republican Party politics caused the collapse and the Democratic policies have been unable to turn things around, what do I do now?” Jillson said. “Compelling [presidential] candidates are uncommon.” Jillson explained that aside from partisan voters, most Americans are “fired up only occasionally.” In 2008, President Obama was a “compelling candidate” driving a higher-than-normal number of youth to the polls. Jillson said, if young people mostly “stay home” during this year’s election, it would be “something of a return to form.” Both SMU College Republicans

REGUL ATIONS

REPRESENTATION

The 400 Rule: SMU limits partygoers

Diversity, tolerance discussed at Senate meeting after vandalism

NATALIE YEZBICK Contributing Writer nyezbick@smu.edu Every student remembers his or her first big college party. From braving throngs of sweaty bodies to having drinks sloshed all over new party clothes, the memories of revelry are more often debauchery than splendor. The Social Event Registration Committee (SERC) announced a new rule that caps the maximum number of party attendees at 400. The move strengthens SMU’s risk management policy, but possibly alters SMU’s Greek party scene. Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Kristal Statler revealed the new rule at a Greek Mandatory Organization Meeting (MOM) meeting on Aug. 21. Statler is also a member of the SERC. “The purpose of the committee is to ensure that events are done in a safe manner,” Statler said. Previously, each organization could have three guests for every one member in attendance. Statler said the old rule limited the amount of guests that smaller

organizations could have. NonGreek and minority Greek organizations seem to be the intended demographic to benefit from the new system. “Everybody is on equal footing [with the new rule,]” Statler said. Originally, the maximum amount was set at 300 people per event. But after many sorority and fraternity advisors complained, the cap was increased to 400. According to Statler, when

SERC reset the limit the committee looked at the largest Greek chapter and factored in additional guests for date functions. Joshua Sepkowitz, president of the Board of Chapter Advisors for Phi Gamma Delta, had many concerns about the rule. Sepkowitz cited Kite and Key, a formal hosted by Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta, as an

TIM WELCH Senate Correspondent twelch@smu.edu The Student Senate meeting opened with a bang on Tuesday afternoon — the bang of drums as the Mustang Band entered the Senate chamber playing the SMU fight song. The band, led by Evan Taylor, was addressing the floor from

the podium to garner financial support for Pigskin Revue in October. Taylor pitched the event to the Senate with the equation “SNL + Pep Rally + SMU = Pigskin Revue.” Additionally, he described the event as open to everyone: athletes, Greeks, band, non-band, faculty and alumni. Pigskin Revue is a space in which all members of the SMU community can come together and sell out McFarlin, Taylor said. “It’s time for unity,” he said. Standing room was sparse as several members of SMU’s multicultural organizations congregated to address the chamber. Representatives of SMU’s Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) spoke about the vandalism that occurred on Saturday, Sept. 8, in which a poster for MSA

was removed from its posting, stabbed, and strung up in a tree. This event was eerily similar to event last year in which a peruna poster for SMU’s Association of Black Students was vandalized. The timing of the vandalism — just three days before Sept.11 — concerned Zain Rizvi, president of Muslim Students’ Association (whose acronym is also MSA). He opined that it is indicative of the continuing hate and fear of Islam prevalent in America. Karma Orfaly, a freshman, also addressed the Senate. “As a Muslim, I’m scared around 9/11 that someone might commit a hate crime [against me].” She also said it is important to raise awareness at SMU about religious diversity. Furthermore, she said, “On September 11, 2001, Osama

WEDNESDAY n SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 fashion

This season’s hottest colors for accessories HILLARY SCHMIDT Fashion Editor hjschmidt@smu.edu Colors are always crucial to staying stylish for every season. No matter what trend you are sporting, accessorzing your outfit in an in season color makes you even more of a fashionista. The colors to look out for this season are green, maroon, black and white, metallic and bright shades of red.

Maroon Maroon screams fall and is among several other toned-down colors that people will naturally reach for during this season. Thanks to this in-season color, you don’t have to feel as bad about wearing a monotone colors. SMU junior Hailey Curtiss said “This season, burgundy is going to be the new black. It looks great with other popular colors such as metallic and looks good on almost any skin tone.” Designers have decided that the perfect way to incorporate this fall color is through accessorizing so that it doesn’t take up too much of your ensemble. Too much of this shade will lessen excitement from your style. If you’re into loafers, now is a great time to purchase a pair

because designers love them in maroon.

Green Accessories in green that work well this season are textured heels, alligator envelope clutches and extravagant jewelry. Some of these specific types of accessories may be hard for SMU students to find the right occasion to wear, so don’t feel compelled to go out and buy them just because they are trendy. Wear what works for you, whether it be a green bag or earrings. Focus on what makes you comfortable, and if you happen to find accessories in this season’s colors, all the better. If you’re going to go for the green, hunter green is the most appropriate shade for the fall.

Black and White What says “complete opposites” more than the colors black and white? Well, this season, opposites will certainly attract. It is inevitable that everyone has black and white in their closet, so this trend will be easy access. No need to feel “boring” while

wearing these shades. You can always wear accessories in black and white and pair them with different colored clothes if you need a splash of something different. Not only should you pair together separate pieces of the different colors, but wear single items that incorporate both black and white together.

Metallic When it comes to metallic, you are better off sticking to this color for more formal wear. Accessorizing this color for your outfit to class will look too dressed up unless you use it minimally. Clutches and heels are the most popular accessories to wear in this color. SMU sophomore Julie Hight said “Wearing metallic is a subtle way to stand out. The flashy color shows that you are confident, which is another great reason to accessorize in this color.”

Reds Bright reds are hot, hot, hot this season. The fall season is complimented by shades of red with all of its colorful red leaves

that will soon be scattered across campus. Flats, bags and heels look especially good in this bright color. Pair these red colored accessories with cold jewelry to dress up any outfit, or keep it simple and more toned down for class. Color blocking with different shades of red make for an even trendier look. Additionally, color blocking with shoes is becoming more popular, and reds are great and easy to contrast with colors such as orange and black. The color blocking trend isn’t going out of style any time son, so stock up on all sorts of shades. Although red is among the most popular, other primary colors like blue, yellow and green have also been dubbed as fashion-forward by designers. Supporting SMU is another convincing reason to wear reds. Show your pride while being stylish at the same time. Hight said “We go to SMU so everyone better like the bright red trend!” Even if this season’s trends aren’t for you, incorporating these colors into your wardrobe will still keep you looking trendy. It’s fun to try something new.

Micheal Pena, Natalie Martinez talk new cop thriller ‘End of Watch’

MEREDITH CAREY Staff Writer mcarey@smu..edu

Michael Peña and Natalie Martinez bicker endlessly, smile at each other and throw in a few saucy winks for good measure. But the pair, who plays a married couple in the new film End of Watch, aren’t in fact a real couple at all. “We had mini dates where we got to know each other and that way

when we got to it we’d been married for a long time, which showed through the movie that we had a very close relationship,” Martinez said in a Q&A session after the Dallas premiere of the police drama. For Peña, the on-screen chemistry between his character, Mike Zavala, and his character’s wife, Gabby, was the least of his worries. Between sparring practices, ride-alongs with Los Angeles PD police officer and weapons training, Peña was pushed

by director David Ayers to fully embody a police officer. “We had pre-production for about four months,” Peña said. “That’s what’s different about this story. It shows you what it’s really like to be a cop.” The movie, which chronicles the lives of LAPD police officers Brian Taylor and Mike Zavala, relies heavily on the talents and camaraderie of Peña and co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.

“[Gyllenhaal’s] dad’s a director, his mom’s like an Academy Award nominated writer, and his sister’s an actress. My brother’s a correction officer. My parents are farmers,” Peña said. “But we found [chemistry] just like how brothers are, they bicker but they love each other.” The dramatic and emotional scenes of the movie also took a great toll on both the actors. “We shot the ending every which way possible,” Martinez told the

audience, “I was crying for like 10 hours straight but that was probably the only scene for me where I went back to my trailer and just remembered myself at the funeral.” The movie was not without its risk, either, as most of the filming took place on location in the dangerous streets of South Central Los Angeles. The cast members faced threats and verbal abuse from community members on their first day of

camera tests. “One of the parties in the film is actually full of real gangsters, so there were unscripted fights in the party,” Peña said. End of Watch arrives in theaters Sept. 21. Peña is now filming as the title character in a biopic of civilrights activist Cesar Chavez. Martinez recently completed filming Broken City, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Russell Crowe.

Late Night at the DMA

Patrons enjoy jazz music at DMA’s “Thursday Night Live.”

People nodded their heads and tapped their feet as the smooth syncopations of Shelley Carrol and his vintage Selmer saxophone flowed through the crowded atrium. The audience was finally feeling “the groove.” “When your friends ask you what you did tonight,” Carrol said, “you tell them you went to the best jazz club in the Metroplex.” The audience, standing around black tables filled with empty cocktail glasses and wine bottles, ruptured in applause. But they weren’t at a jazz club—they were at a museum. “Tonight was my very first

time at the Dallas Museum of Art period,” SMU senior George Williams said. “I’m not too much exposed to jazz, but it was a really great experience to finally get out of the bubble, living at SMU.” “Jazz in the Atrium” is part of Thursday Night Live, a special late night event at the Dallas Museum of Art. Museums in the Dallas Arts District have adjusted their programming to captivate a wider audience-audiences looking for an afterhours cultural excursion. “Late nights, Thursday Nigh Live brings in more diverse audiences then a typical day at

the museum,” Carolyn Bess, director of programming at the DMA, said. “Thursday Night Live” is one of the DMA’s most popular events. Every Thursday, visitors can enjoy live jazz, drinks, full-service dining and late-night entry to exhibits from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Bess says these programs to bolster museum membership, box office sales and special exhibition attendance. The headline events are often featured on blogs and on the news, increasing the museum’s public exposure. But attendees

get a lot more in return. Richland College student Wale Adesina wandered the many galleries with a large black camera around his neck. The aspiring Nigerian hip-hop artist found inspiration in the paintings, culture and atmosphere. He lingered in a special “Form/ Unformed: Design from 1960 to the Present” exhibit. “It’s pretty cool being here,” Adesina said. “I came with my friend and his girl and will probably come again.” On Friday “Late Nights,” a number of lectures and talks are included with admission. These monthly events run from 6 p.m. to midnight and include a film screening, live DJ and social network face-off. The next museum late is Sept. 21. “[You] just get a new perspective of Dallas nightlife,” Williams said. “They have many great works of art from the authentic African art, to Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh and everything in between. I definitely recommend it.” Educators and students with a valid Texas school ID receive free admission to the museum on Thursdays. General admission is $10 for adults on Friday. Visit the Dallas Museum of Art online at dm-art. org for more information.

‘Till Midnight at the Nasher The Nasher Sculpture Center, directly across from the Dallas Museum of Art, will also be open late on Sept. 21. The center opened its door to visitors in 2003 and since then has hosted a number of programs including “Till Midnight at the Nasher.” “It’s really a one of a kind evening where you get to explore the Nasher at night,” Social Media Coordinator Julius Pickenpack said. Visitors spread out across the Nasher Sculpture garden to enjoy a live concert by local musical talent and a film screening sponsored by the Dallas Film Society. Indierock band Telegraph Canyon and Raising Arizona, starring Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter, will be featured at the next event. “You can listen to a great movie, meet with your friends and get culture with modern artists,” Pickenpack said.

The night also boasts big eats. Attendees can pre-order picnic baskets stocked with fruit, salads, artisan cheese, gourmet crackers, and specialty breads from NasherCafé by Wolfgang Puck for $40. NasherCafé and an outdoor bar are also stocked with wine and no-alcoholic beverages for purchase. No outside food or drink is allowed at the Center. “Sometimes we do get people trying to be sneaky and bring stuff in, but our guards are pretty good about stopping them at the door,” Pickenpack said. Normally, tickets to the museums are $5 for students and $10 for adults. But on these special nights, through corporate sponsorships entry is free. Whether you choose to visit the DMA or Nasher Center, Pickenpack assures you’re in for a good time. “We kind of see it as a big family,” Pickenpack said. “The [Dallas Arts District is] an oasis for Dallas people to escape.” Visit the Nasher Sculpture Center at nashersculpturecenter. org for more information.

To celebrate, Crow will be open until midnight for “Crow Collection After Dark.” The Silk Road’s origins date back to around 200 B.C.

Freshmen earn top scores for men’s, women’s teams women

Andrew Hattersley Contributing Writer ahattersley@smu.edu

MEN The SMU men’s golf team, which was ranked No. 28 by Golfweek in the preseason, started the year off with a second place finish at the Gopher Invitational at Spring Hill Golf Club in Wayzata, Minn. last week. Freshman Bryson DeChambeau was the low man for the Mustangs finishing at 2-over-par, which was good for fifth overall. Overall four of the five Mustangs finished inside the top 12, including three freshmen. Junior Harry Higgs finished in a tie for sixth place with a 3-overpar total. Ryan Burgess, a freshman from Santa Fe, Calif., finished in a tie for ninth place with a 5-overpar total. Also with a strong finish was freshman Austin Smotherman who finished in a tie for twelfth at 6-over-par. “It’s a great start to the year for such a young team,” head coach Josh Gregory told SMU Athletics. “Four guys finishing in the top 12 is very impressive.” The Mustangs got off to a slow start to the invitational falling behind in the first round. However, over the next two rounds the team outshot the rest of the field by 15 shots in the next two days. The second round for featured two memorable shots for SMU. Higgs had a hole-in-one on the par-3 17th hole. Not only that, Smotherman double-eagled the third hole to get the team going. The final member of the SMU team, sophomore Sam Fidone, struggled a little bit finishing in a tie for the No.41 spot at 16-over-par. Up next for the SMU men is a trip to Olympia Fields, Ill. for the Olympia Fields Invite Sept.30 to Oct. 2.

Bryson Dechambeau

The women’s golf team defended their Chip-N Club Invitational title beating Missouri by 15 shots in Lincoln, Neb. last week. Alexandra Rossi, a freshman playing in her first event, made a final round charge finishing with a 68 to take medalist honors. Rossi bounced back from an 81 in the second round that appeared to severely damage her chances coming into the final round. “She managed the golf course a little bit better today,” head coach Jeanne Sutherland told SMU Athletics. “She scored [last week] with her putter instead of trying to from the fairway. She just played well the entire day. She placed where she needed to.” Rossi was named Conference USA Golfer of the Week on Sept. 12 after her final round performance in Nebraska.

Coming into the last round SMU was trailing before making their charge. “How we played [last week] is what we’re going to need to do in every round, “ Sutherland said “We did a great job. Every player made a commitment and it was fun to watch. We stayed in the present. We just played golf and got the ball in the hole.” The Mustangs also showed great performances from freshman Jenny Haglund, junior Maria Elena Villamil and sophomore Jennifer Park. Haglund finished in fourth with an 8-over-par total. Villamil, from Madrid, finished in a tie for the No.15 spot at 17-over-par and Park finished in a tie for the Nov. 21 spot at 21-over-par. The team headed to Tulsa, Okla. Monday and Tuesday to compete in the Dale McNamara Invitational. SMU finished Monday in the

No.16 spot out of fifteen teams. Park held the best score on the team at the end of the second round. She was tied for seventh even with the 72-par course. Tuesday the team finished the tournament with a combined score of 889, holding the Mustangs in the No.6 spot the team earned Monday. Park also held her position as the team leader at 2-over-par and as the only Mustang inside the top 10. Haglund, from Karlstad, Sweden, played a consistent game according to her coach and tied for the No.14 spot at 4-over-par. Senior Melanie White joined Haglund in the top 25 at 7over-par. The Mustangs have a week off until the next competition, the Johnie Imes tournament in Columbia, Mo., Oct. 1 to Oct. 2.

What to do when fall actually feels like fall Michael Graves Contributor

I was sitting out outside earlier this week at a Starbucks near campus when something funny happened — I shivered. I shivered because I was cold. I then looked up from my computer and became very concerned when I saw a woman wearing a scarf. I had to check the date on my phone. Sept. 16 It’s still summer, right? This time last year I was still sweating on my way to class because it was so hot. I mean, Dallas doesn’t get a fall. I know all of us Southerners beat this discussion like a dead horse but we can’t help it. Sometimes we like the fact that one day we’re still on the lake and the next we’re preparing for the “Snowpacolypse.” It makes us unique. But this year, I think we may actually have a fall season. So what are you going to do with this new opportunity? What does Dallas have to offer that we can actually experience now since going outside doesn’t have to feel like a death wish? First, we can have a picnic. Highland Park has a ton of grassy areas that are well shaded and perfectly placed around the neighborhood for residents to use. Granted we’re not true Highland Park residents, but I doubt anyone is going to run you off if you choose to grab a soft blanket, a few things to eat and some rich hot chocolate for a cool, autumn’s day feast. This activity is quite popular around the world for people who live in climates that sustain green life during the summer. Now we can try it out as well. Secondly, we can invest in comfortable, light scarves. This goes for guys and girls, assuming you wear scarves of course. Normally we look for scarves that protect us against the odd 20 degree day. Now that we’re getting weather around the 50s and 60s, us scarf-sporters can think about getting something light and airy to simply keep the crisp wind off of our necks. A nice light cotton scarf (the kind that looks a bit like gauze) will do just fine. You can also get one for $5 or, if your tastes are more expensive, up to $200. I got mine from Nordstrom for about $20 and it does a fine job. Finally, we can really enjoy SMU football games. Last year, it was hard to convince myself to stay at the games and bear the 90 degree weather. This year, I feel like I have no excuse! Our Mustangs are about to make some pretty great strides in the team’s game in preparation for the Big East, so let’s go out there and support them on game days. We’re in Texas. Football is a huge part of life for many of us. So, if it’s your thing (or even if it’s not and you just love SMU), enjoy the cool weather at the game. I’m telling you people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime year. If the temperature stays below 95 through September, we’ll be setting records. If we hit a few days when it’s 60 before October, I’ll be one dumbfounded boy. I plan to enjoy this odd weather, and hope it comes back around for next year.

Students debate causes of situation in Middle East Democrat Tim Welch Contributor twelch@smu.edu With the string of recent violent outbreaks in Middle Eastern countries, including the suicide bombing Tuesday morning in Kabul, Afghanistan, and the murder of American Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, we have to ask ourselves: Why is all of this violence occurring? Following the ambassador’s death last week, it was speculated that the violent protest was a reaction to the release of a YouTube clip for an anti-Islam film called Innocence of Muslims, in which the Prophet Muhammad is severely derided. Indeed, Hizb-i-Islami claimed responsibility for the Kabul bombing as a reaction to the film. The film was produced by Egyptian-American Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a felon who was detained by American federal authorities over the weekend for questioning regarding probation violations. The film depicts the prophet as “a fool, a philanderer and a religious fake” according to Reuters, and his followers as “savage killers hungry for wealth and bent on killing women and children,” according to BBC. This film is deliberately offensive, and was contrived to incite rage in the hearts of Muslims worldwide. In many sects of Islam it is considered a sin to visually depict any of the prophets — especially Muhammad — because it is consonant with idolatry. Thus, to portray the prophet so egregiously is clearly an attack on Islam. As such, this film is an artifact of hatred, one which Salman Rushdie, author of the controversial 1988 novel The Satanic Verses, has labeled “outrageous and unpleasant and disgusting.” YouTube itself has been shut down in several countries, including Bangladesh and Pakistan, in an effort to prevent acts of violence. The White House requested Google, the parent company of YouTube, to pull

Republican

the video, which it refused. This film is just the latest in a growing series of attacks on Islam through consciously offensive portrayals of the prophet. In 2005, a Danish newspaper published a series of cartoons in which the prophet was depicted as a supporter of terrorism. In 2007, Swedish artist Lars Vilks unveiled a series of drawings depicting the prophet as a dog. And on May 20, 2010 an “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” event was hosted on the Internet. Gov. Mitt Romney has unjustly accused the president of not protecting our foreign nationals and even taking sides against them with hostile governments. This is blatantly false. Our government does indeed protect our embassies while maintaining diplomatic relations with the countries in which they are located – as it always has done. This is the point of foreign diplomacy. Whenever the political situation of a country develops such that the safety of our ambassadors is at risk, we evacuate them – which is what we tried to do for Ambassador Stevens. Unfortunately, the protesters – who acted independent of the Libyan government – got to him first. It is shameful of Gov. Romney to pervert the memory of an American civil servant in order to seek a cheap lead over the incumbent president. The recent acts of violence are, of course, the fault of the protesters themselves. However, we would be remiss to not admonish the antecedent of these hostilities: Mr. Nakoula. Indeed, his deliberate acts of hatred toward Islam directly accomplice him in the 28 deaths which have followed the posting of his film. Nakoula’s film is the cause of this violence in the Middle East and must be rebuked. It is not free speech. It is hate speech. As Nakoula intended, his hate has fanned the flames of unrest. Welch is a sophomore majoring in accounting.

Hailey Dunn Contributor hdunn@smu.edu Currently, there are two schools of thought as to what the root cause behind the embassy attack is, namely the one in Libya. According to the US ambassador to the United Nations, this attack on the American consulate “was spontaneous, not a premeditated response to what happened in Cairo.” This is in sharp contrast to the views expressed by the Libyan president Mohamed Yousef el-Magariaf who told CBS’s Face the Nation that “the way these perpetrators acted, and moved…and they’re choosing the specific date for this so-called demonstration … this leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, determined … pre-determined.” Obviously, the man who is the president of Libya would have more insight as to the probable cause of the attacks, but there appears to have been a breakdown in communication between him and the United States. Pretending the attacks in Libya and the rest of the Middle East were the result of a movie offending the Muslim community is an insult to the memory of those who lost their lives on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 in Benghazi. Additionally, it is offensive to the Muslim community, which is being painted as irrational and violent by this allegation. This was a small faction of the Muslim community that sought to carry out a coordinated attack on the United States. It has been speculated that this attack was in response to the United States killing Libyan al Qaeda leader Abu Yahya al-Libi.. Furthermore, according to an al Qaeda statement released in the Islamic Mahgreb, “We encourage all Muslims to continue to demonstrate and escalate their protests ... and to kill their (American) ambassadors and representatives or to expel them to cleanse our land from their wickedness” and went on to say that the murder of ambassador

Stevens was “the best gift you (can) give to his arrogant and unjust administration.” Politics aside, this administration’s responsibility, first and foremost, in response to this act is to see justice served and to present a stronger front in regards to foreign policy. From the above statements, it is obvious that these people have no respect for the United States or the sanctity of human life. It is of paramount importance that this be remembered when dealing with them, as they are not likely to cease their violence against those they deem ‘wicked’ unless swift and forceful action is taken. President Barack Obama need only look back thirty years to Ronald Reagan for guidance in a very similar foreign policy debacle, lest he be the Carter to Romney’s Reagan. Luckily, unlike in the 1980s the United States would not be up against a dictator and his country, but rather a small terrorist group looking to incite carnage and chaos. As has been seen in the days since the attacks, the Libyans and the Muslim community in general do not wish Christians or the United States harm and have disparaged the violence carried out under the guise of religious fury. It would be prudent for the Obama administration to acknowledge this as the work of a terrorist group, seek justice accordingly and not shy away from confronting the problem for fear of offending Muslims. These could very well be Obama’s last few months in office. How he chooses to handle this crisis could make or break him in not only the election, but also in how history will remember him. The United States is always fearful of losing ground to other countries economically, but to shirk away from taking a firm hand in the Middle East now would do nothing but to further denigrate the American reputation of being a world power house.

All sides miss the point of leaked video showing Romney’s talk of 47 percent who don’t pay income tax W. Tucker Keene Opinion Editor tkeene@smu.edu On Monday, a video of Mitt Romney at a private fundraiser leaked to the public in which he describes the 47 percent of Americans who don’t pay income tax as an unreachable group for his campaign. The media promptly declared that Barack Obama had won the election. The media, however, is misguided on this point. They’re describing it as Romney looking down poorly on nearly half of the U.S. population, and that it would galvanize that half against Romney and ensure his defeat. The main problem with that. However, is that a good portion of that 47 percent is actually in Romney’s camp, and won’t be leaving it any time soon. Of the ten poorest states in America—those with the highest percentage of Americans who don’t pay income tax—nine voted for

McCain in 2008. Only North Carolina voted for Obama, and probably won’t do that again. Further, that 47 percent is one of the least likely groups to actually vote, and a statement like what Romney said isn’t likely to increase their turnout at all. In 2008, just under 60 percent of America voted, but for the least wealthy half of America the average was significantly less. Of those making less than $15,000 a year, who are most assuredly part of that 47 percent, only 41 percent actually voted. As income increases, there is a clear, steady, and consistent increase in voter turnout, of people making over $150,000, nearly 80 percent voted. Romney’s statement is often being compared to Obama’s comment back in 2008 about voters who bitterly cling to their guns and religion not supporting him, but this isn’t a fair assessment. Obama spoke poorly of a selection of voters who are very proud to be religious and gun owning, and wouldn’t have any trouble admitting

that to themselves. The 47 percent of people who don’t pay income tax aren’t likely to be proud of that, nor are they likely to think they’re part of that group. No one looks positively upon those who live off of government and very few would admit to themselves that they do. Americans and people in general don’t like to admit to being less than average, but statistically half of them are. The situation here is no different. A poll of Americans asking if they considered themselves part of the 47 percent would likely find a very large majority saying they were not. As for Romney blaming his lack of overwhelming success on this 47 percent, he was mistaken. As a country we’ve risen above the point where we vote on purely economic considerations. Issues such as abortion, gay marriage, gun rights, and others go beyond the point where voters look only at which candidate would help them economically.

Romney should honestly leave the strategy stuff to his strategists. They are much better at describing it in a way that won’t make the press go crazy, and could do so in more detail as well. Strategy isn’t Romney’s expertise. His expertise is bringing companies and government back from the brink of economic collapse. Strategy is the expertise of, oddly enough, the campaign strategists. Most importantly, they’d be able to do it a way that doesn’t give the media an excuse not to cover that the White House knew about the threat in Libya three days before it happened. But hey, even though Obama’s bounce disappeared and the race is tied once again, the media wants to talk about how the race is suddenly over because of one thing Romney said that won’t hurt him with anyone who would ever vote for him in the first place.

SMU’s new marketing campaign, “SMU is Dallas’ Team,” can be seen all over the Metroplex.

courtney madden Contributing Writer courtneym@smu.edu With an upcoming move to the Big East, wins on the rise and advertisement in the Dallas area, the Mustangs’ football season ticket sales have reached an all-time high since 1985. “We certainly have momentum and there’s a buzz about SMU football, having made three straight bowl games,” Brad Sutton, associate athletic director, said. “Since June Jones arrived on the Hilltop, we have more than doubled our season ticket sales.” Big name players like Margus Hunt, SMU senior defensive end, add to the sales as he is predicted to go No.1 in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft. “Well the attendance has increased since I first got here, especially in the student section, which is a good thing because we need a strong student attendance,” Hunt said. The Mustangs have come a long way, especially after a Stephen F. Austin shutout and large crowd for the Texas A&M team’s game. The 52-0 shutout was the first Mustang shutout since 1983, in their 34-0 game against UT-Arlington. “We really fed off of the crowd and it was nice to hear the cheers

from the fans. It fuels us and helps us in those clutch moments,” Kenneth Acker, SMU junior defensive back, said. Acker was named Conference USA’s defensive player of the game. The progression is present in the play. The stats are here to prove it too, not to mention the 3,500 seats being added to Ford Stadium for the two home games against A&M and TCU, Sept. 29. “I’m excited because seats being added will mean more attendance and a louder stadium, but they will be mostly filled with the opposing teams fans and I would like to still have full home field advantage,” Hunt said. Many Texas A&M fans bought SMU season tickets just for a guaranteed seat at the game. “My dad is a big Aggie fan and he wanted tickets for this game. Since they were 90 dollars each and season tickets were 98 dollars he figured it was a better deal to be guaranteed tickets,” Madalyn Zapletal, SMU sophomore, said. This year there has also been a rise in SMU’s advertisement. Many billboards around the Dallas area say, “SMU is Dallas’ Team” and “SMU is College Football.” “We have seen an uptick in sales and think that will continue as awareness of the program continues to grow,” Sutton said.

And I think that with that realization, people will not sell themselves or their friends short. Our values are worth more than a $6 Chick-fil-a combo meal.” Luna’s goal, beyond removing Chick-fil-A from campus, is to increase student body awareness about sensitive political issues that might disproportionately affect the LGBT community.

example. If each girl invited a date, the total number of people at the event would top 800, Sepkowitz said. “Each of the women should have the right to go and invite a date,” he said. “Kite and Key has been a part of SMU Greek life for what, 30 years? It would be a shame if it went away.” Sepkowitz graduated from SMU in 2002 when “quad parties,” or parties hosted by four fraternities, were popular. Sepkowitz proposed an addendum that would allow each group to break the 400 rule once a year for such parties or formals to occur. But he conceded the rule is a good idea. “From a risk mitigation standpoint, it’s a good thing,” Sepkowitz said. Billy Embody, vice president of public relations for SMU Interfraternity Council had a different take on the rule, calling it a logistical “nightmare.” “I don’t think it’s going to stand. They’re going to have to

amend it,” Embody said. “[People are] pretty upset, angry, and even disappointed and confused.” Neither Embody nor Sepkowitz knew why the cap on partygoers was put in place. When it came to understanding enforcement of the rule, there seemed to be equal confusion. “What they told us is they don’t really know how they are going to monitor it yet,” Embody said. “What I don’t want to see happen is that a rumor gets started

saying that an organization had over 400 people at a party, but there’s no proof of it.” Statler, however, said that event monitors would enforce the rule and that “part of it is an honors system.” As the 400 Rule goes into effect, the SMU community will decide if the committee should be praised for its efforts to help smaller organizations or should be condemned for limiting SMU Greek tradition and the social scene.

and SMU College Democrats hope that fact will change. “It’s [the youth] who needs to get out there and kind of force that change,” Tucker Keene, member of SMU College Republicans, said. Keene acknowledges that the voting registration process can be “obnoxious” for many students, especially when trying to vote absentee for their home state. But Keene, College

Republicans and College Democrats continue to educate young voters on the voice that they have in hopes that it will encourage them to vote. “The College Democrats and College Republicans will be working together to make sure there’s a high youth turnout,” Keene says. Michael Wilburn, president of SMU College Democrats, blamed the current political atmosphere for the lack of “excitement” behind either candidate. If young

generations want to see that atmosphere improve, Wilburn believes young people need to make themselves heard. “I don’t think [the youth] realize they have to vote and get involved to change that,” Wilburn said. There will be many events around campus in the upcoming weeks to help students learn more about the candidates and the voting process.
