Saudi women can now vote On Sunday, Saudi Arabian King Abdullah announced that women can now run in municipal elections and vote. Also, women have been granted the right to join the Shura Council, a consultive body to which the king appoints members. “Because we refuse to marginalize women in society in all roles that comply with Sharia, we have decided, after deliberation with our senior ulama and others ... to involve women,” the king said in a speech kicking off a new term of the council. Women, however, do not have the right to travel, work, drive or have medical operations without the permission of a male relative.

Mexican journalist killed Female journalist Marisol Macias Castaneda was found decapitated with a sigh explaining that her murder was for her posts on social networking site. Castaneda worked as a newsroom manager for the Primera Hora newspaper in Nuevo Laredo. She reportedly posted on Nuevo Laredo en Vivo’s section which reports the location of drug gang lookouts and sales point, which may have angered the Zetas cartel. If so, this may be the third case this month of drug cartels killing people for posting on the internet.

Until 2001, Budweiser was the No. 1 selling beer in America. Now, Bud Light holds that title.

By ASHLEY WITHERS Editor In Chief awithers@smu.edu

Football season is in full swing and for many Americans, this means spending weekends cheering on their favorite teams with a cold beer in hand. However, according to recent research of beer sales by 24/7 Wall Street, an investing website, there are eight beer brands you probably won’t see at any tailgate parties. The data, collected from two studies, one by the SymphonyIRI group and another by Insights, Inc., showed that some of America’s most famous and classic beer brands’ sales

have been steadily declining over the past five years, despite overall gains in the industry. Total beer sales from 2005 to 2010 rose by 1.9 million barrels to a total of 208.4 million barrels. The studies looked at the 23 largest selling beer products in America and found eight brands whose sales have declined by more than 30 percent between 2006 and 2010. Topping the list with the biggest decrease in sales is Michelob. Michelob sales dropped by 72 percent, to just 175,000 barrels in 2010. Following in its heavier counterpart’s footsteps, Michelob

Light has also seen a major decrease in sales. Sales of the beer have declined by 64 percent, to just over half a million barrels in 2010. Another light beer, Bud Select, is also hurting for sales. Bud Select sales dropped by 60 percent from 2006 to 2010. The product was only introduced in 2005 and despite an initial marketing push, it never seemed to get off the ground. “Marketing is absolutely vital to brewers,” Ben Bentzin, a lecturer in marketing at the

Google+ opens to public By STEPHANIE BROWN Staff Writer stephanieb@smu.edu

Come one, come all. Google+ is officially open to the public. For those who are annoyed with the new Facebook makeover, this social media site might be right up your alley. Google+ nixed their invite-only policy last Tuesday just two days before Facebook’s annual developer conference, F8. This can’t be a coincidence seeing as Google+ has rolled out 100 new features since its official launch of the site in June. The new social media site was designed to rival Facebook. Google+ distinguishes itself by enabling users to organize those who can see their profile in groups called “circles.” So instead of just adding friends like you do on Facebook, as soon as you add someone on Google+, you place them in one of your “circles,” which includes family, friends, acquaintances, following or you can customize your own circle. In opening to the public, Google+ debuted a few noteworthy features. Sparks is Google+’ search bar that allows users to customize their interests. The site will then aggregate relevant articles and videos for the selected interests. Another key feature is the incorporation of Gmail and Google Docs. Now, users can access their email while having the ability to communicate, share and create

files with one another all from the Google+ site. The Hangout feature allows users to chat with one another and communicate with live video conferencing. This feature is crucial because it allows up to nine users to attend the videoconference, whereas in the past, the maximum users that could join a conference was about three. In order to generate awareness about this feature, Google+ kicked off the new addition with a live broadcast with will.i.am. The last feature users should be aware of is the Huddle feature. This is where users can add an unlimited amount of people to a single chat. The feature could be helpful in discussing a particular subject or an easy way to communicate to a large group about a project or an event. With the recent unveiling of the new Facebook features, it will be interesting to see show Google+ fares in the ongoing cyber-battle to be number one in the social media space.

Youngest school board president works to serve community, students By PATRICIA BOH

Associate News Editor pboh@smu.edu

SMU’s own Warren C. Seay doesn’t let age get in the way of leadership. As the youngest person ever to be appointed to the DeSoto ISD school board at age 22, Seay works diligently to improve and serve his hometown. Seay and his siblings attended DeSoto schools from elementary until high school graduation. After graduating high school in 2006, Seay received a Ray and Nancy Ann Hunt Scholarship from SMU, where he majoring in Political Science and minored in Sociology with an

emphasis on Ethnic Studies. The DeSoto ISD school board has been dealing with controversy surrounding it superintendant Kathy Augustine. Augustine previously served on the Atlanta school board. She has been accused among other officials that administered the CriterionReferenced Competency Tests (CRCT) in part of a massive cheating scandal. GA Governor Nathan Dean reported that the investigation “found cheating in 44 of the 56 schools.” Augustine was placed on paid leave on July 11, after only one day as the DeSoto superintendent. During

this time, the DeSoto ISD school board deliberated on how to handle this controversy, and what actions they should take. “We had to make a decision: do we fight it out or let her go,” Seay said. After intense debate, the school board decided to let her go in the end. In early September, the school board released details on Augustine’s severance package. The settlement amount equated one year’s pay at just over $156,000. Seay ardently stands by the school board’s decision. “One of the things about

Independent School District Board of Trustees in May 2009. At the time, he was only 20 years old. Seay was one of only fifty students in the nation to receive a Harry S. Truman Scholar appointment from President Barack Obama in 2009. During his college career, Seay was named Big Brother/Big Sister of the Year for his work at Cockrell Hill Elementary in DeSoto. Seay served as president of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and was political action chair of the Association of Black Students. Seay is currently in his second year at the SMU Dedman School of Law.

SMU hires new dean of admissions By SARAH KRAMER Managing Editor skramer@smu.edu

Wes Waggoner has made the jump from being a Horned Frog to a Mustang. He will begin his work as the new dean of undergraduate admissions and executive director of enrollment at SMU on Oct. 17. In this position, he will be in charge of admission for firstyear, transfer and international applications. “I’m looking forward to meeting people and understanding SMU better,” Waggoner said. “I want to make sure that the admissions office is an absolute integral part of the university.” Though he served as the associate dean and director of freshman admissions at TCU, Waggoner is excited to remove his purple and white and don the red and blue. “There are many similarities and differences [between SMU and TCU], and I want to understand the differences and culture better and build on those things,” he said. “It is an amazing school, and I want to raise SMU’s profile as well as academics to that of a great national university.”

leadership is that you’re going to be into situations that will be out of your control,” Seay explained. “We need to focus on making our kids college ready. We’re doing this for the thousands of kids who sit in our classrooms.” Seay graduated Summa Cum Laude from SMU in 2010. He was also named SMU’s Most Outstanding Senior. In June 2010, Seay was also named to the USA Today AllAmerican Academic Team. Outside of academics, Seay became the youngest elected official in Dallas County history when he won a seat on the DeSoto

M.B.A. program becomes desirable By NATALIE POSGATE Contributing Writer nposgate@smu.edu

Typically in an economic downturn, young people flock to graduate school in an attempt to delay facing “the real world.” Many recent college graduates would rather do anything than confront the exhausting process of searching for employment in a grim-looking job market. This hasn’t been the case this year — at least as far as M.B.A. programs go. The Wall Street Journal reported that applications for two-year, full-time M.B.A. programs that began this fall fell an average of 9.9 percent from last year’s numbers. Even the most prestigious programs saw a decline. Harvard Business School’s applications dropped by 4 percent. One school, however, is getting something right despite the slow economy. Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business saw a 9 percent increase in two-year, full-time M.B.A. applications this year: a number that bucks the national trend in nearly the polar-opposite direction. While the initial stages in a recession make business graduate programs appear

attractive, a prolonged one causes the opposite effect. Libby Magliolo, a first-year Cox M.B.A. student focusing on marketing and finance, understands why the national trend is seeing a decline in applications. “I’m not terribly surprised given how long the recession has lasted,” Magliolo said, “Especially when you factor in tuition of a good program and the opportunity cost of giving up two years of salary for a multi-thousand dollar investment. People are looking for job security for now instead of the possibility of climbing in their careers.” For many, those multi-thousand dollar investments result in student debt. The estimated tuition and fees for the 2011-2012 school year at the full-time M.B.A. program are $45,808. “People are getting really shy about taking out student loans; they don’t want to incur big debt,” Marci Armstrong, associate dean of graduate programs at Cox, said. Though Armstrong has seen some M.B.A. applicants shy away from enrolling into Cox because of issues like student loans, applications have continued to soar over the past five years. In 2006, 339 people applied to the program — a number that has nearly doubled. The application process in 2011

raked in 660 applicants. While she took the economy into consideration, Magliolo didn’t hesitate to apply to Cox. After getting her bachelor’s degree at Wheaton College, she worked for a small trade association near Chicago called the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA). A couple years later, Magliolo decided that she had climbed the ladder to her highest ability and that she needed to boost her career by returning to school. She chose SMU because she is originally from Dallas and liked the Cox program structure and numerous career-enhancing opportunities. “Cox does a good job in the curriculum of keeping a very complete business education and putting that into use with the alumni network,” Magliolo said. Armstrong gave many reasons why Cox is bucking the trend, but perhaps the most obvious is that its M.B.A. program jumped ahead four spots in the Bloomberg Businessweek’s “The Best U.S. Business Schools 2010” list from No. 16 to No. 12. Armstrong said that Cox has also facilitated the application process. Students no longer have to provide letters of recommendation and in some

Sororities design, paint coolers to keep Southern traditions By KATHARINA MARINO Contributing Writer kmarino@smu.edu

With the hours ticking away, sophomore Kappa Kappa Gamma Weslynn O’Neill sits on the floor of her friend’s study room surrounded by an assortment of acrylic paint bottles, paint brushes, tracing paper and, most importantly, a huge cooler. Down in the south, along with finding the perfect dress and the perfect date for formal, it is also tradition to find the perfect designs to paint the perfect cooler. The sorority girls of SMU are all about keeping this tradition alive, spending hours on the ground, hunched over while painting their hearts out. Sophomore Kappa Alpha Theta Morgan O’Hare was one of the few to know of this cooler phenomenon before she came to SMU through friends that had gone to colleges in the south. “A ton of Southern schools that people from my high school go to all do coolers, so I heard about it that way,” O’Hare said. Others, like O’Neill, were left to find out about the practice when “cooler delivery” dates were announced during weekly chapter meetings. “We were in chapter, and they told us cooler delivery was in two weeks. I had no idea what

that meant, so the older girls and friends of mine that knew about the coolers had to explain it to me,” O’Neill said. Junior Delta Gamma Emma Giddens found that even if the hardest part is choosing who to take and what to put on the cooler, it takes the most effort to complete the actual cooler painting process. “Actually painting it probably (took) around a week. Thinking about what to paint and who to ask probably (took) a month,” Giddens said. Before pulling out the paintbrushes and squeezing out the acrylics, girls must make the decision of what logos, quotes and designs are going to bring their coolers to life. The Cooler Connection group on Facebook is a place that allows girls’ creative wheels to begin turning. Kappa Kappa Gamma graduate Caroline Dowell made four coolers during her time at SMU and always looked at The Cooler Connection page to see photos people from all over the country uploaded to share inspiration. “It is a great place to get ideas and tips on how to make your paint last,” Dowell said. Once girls have added the finishing spray to their artwork, local runs to the grocery story and to McCartney’s University Spirit store off Hillcrest Avenue are

made to finish the job. Walking down each aisle, girls pick out the favorite treats and eats of their date. As well as a stop at McCartney’s to purchase tank tops, T-shirts, hats, koozies, pins and other memorabilia with the sacred Greek letters printed on them to top off their coolers. Around $200 later, the traditional cooler is complete. Greg Pasiadis, a sophomore Lambda Chi Alpha, received his first cooler freshman year for his fraternity’s White Rose away weekend. Pasiadis understood that exceptional coolers do not just materialize out of thin air. “My guess is it takes the girls over five hours to make the cooler, but that’s for a damn good cooler, like mine,” Pasiadis said. The question of “Is this really worth it?” is one that has crossed the minds of all sorority girls when logging hours to accomplish the impressive cooler for their dates. If a regular cooler would suffice, then what motivates the girls to keep the tradition going? “All expenses and appreciation, or lack thereof, aside, it’s a fun tradition. I always enjoyed it because I love to paint in general. I liked the challenge of seeing what I could do with the abnormal shapes and surface textures of a cooler. Plus, I looked at is as another piece

Sorority girls decorate coolers for their dates for formals and away weekends. Designs often include references to the specific sorority and fraternity. Girls then fill the cooler with sorority items and alcohol.

I could add to my art portfolio,” Dowell said. Even if the girls enjoy the experience of creating a cooler, when paying someone else is an option, some are eager to take the opportunity. Coolers by Design and Coastal Coolers are both websites that anyone can utilize and have a customized cooler painted and shipped without the demanding time commitment. CBD coolers begin at $35 for extra small coolers, go up with size and have additional fees for the desired designs.

A number of SMU fraternity guys have never received a cooler.

cases applicants can waive the $75 application fee. “We’re trying to knock down barriers and make it easy to apply,” Armstrong said. Cox is also gaining more awareness on social media — and the students themselves do the marketing. According to Armstrong, students spend part of the M.B.A. program participating in the American Airlines Global Leadership Program — essentially a graduate version of study abroad in which students choose a region of the world they want to visit and then spend most of their first year learning about that region’s culture. After final exams in May, the students visit their selected countries for two weeks and expand

their classroom experiences. While the students are abroad, they share their experiences through various social media outlets, such as Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube. Armstrong traveled with students to Vietnam and China in May 2010. “While we were traveling you could watch us live or get tweets live,” Armstrong said. “We had about 1,000 people following us and we think a lot of those were prospective students.” Magliolo was among one of the prospective student followers. She said that she followed some of the student blogs and watched the realtime videos on YouTube. By doing so, she was able to interact with older students who would become

her future classmates. Cox has worked hard to draw in more applicants, but its geographic location is also helping the growing numbers. “Dallas has handled the downturn of the economy extremely well,” Greg Davis, another first-year student who completed his bachelor’s degree at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, said. Both Davis and Magliolo agreed that they couldn’t be getting their master’s degree in a better city. “Dallas has a large and growing number of Fortune 500 headquarters because the cost of living is lower,” Magliolo said. “People are choosing to move their offices here which is great for us.”

University of Texas McCombs School of Business, said. “A continuous high level of investment is required. That is why you see a heavy predominance of beer ads at major events like the Super Bowl.” Milwaukee’s Best, one of Miller’s economy brands, had a drop in sales of close to 53 percent over the past four years. Sales for this particular brand have struggled due to competition from Pabst Blue Ribbon and Keystone. Two other MillerCoors Brewing brands follow Milwaukee’s Best on the list. Miller Genuine Draft sales have dropped by around 50 percent, and Milwaukee’s Best Light sales fell by 34 percent. Old Milwaukee, a product of the Pabst brewing company, has also seen a drop in sales around 50 percent. The brand has a strong regional following in the north Midwest, but its national following is quite low. One of America’s most classic beers, Budweiser, rounded off the list. Its sales dropped by 30 percent, to around 18 million barrels. Budweiser was America’s

Trustees celebrate record-breaking donations By ASHLEY WITHERS Editor In Chief awithers@smu.edu

Celebration abounded as the SMU trustee Gerald J. Ford announced the centennial campaign’s record-breaking commitments at the first board of trustee meeting of the school year. The campaign has raised $560 million as of Aug. 31, an amount that exceeds any of SMU’s prior campaigns. This campaign will help fund the creation of several new additions to campus. The school

plans to build a Centennial Promenade along Ownby Drive, an expansion of Moody Coliseum, a new residential commons, a new Mustang Band Hall and a new tennis complex. Dedman College Dean William Tsutsui presented his new strategic plan for Dedman College at the meeting. His plan includes measure to strengthen graduate programs through increased financial packages, increase full-time faculty, increase funding for research and have undergraduates complete

“engaged learning” projects. These projects will take students out of the classroom to apply their book knowledge to real-life situations. Paul Ludden, the provost and vice president for academic affairs, announced two recently filled positions. Susan Kress, the current director of education abroad, accepted the position of director of engaged learning, a new position that is a part of SMU’s quality enhancement plan. Wes Waggoner accepted the position of new dean of undergraduate admission.

The September meeting also approved the new Human Rights major. “It is a fairly unique program,” President R. Gerald Turner said. “It politically expands the spectrum of our school.” Turner also believes the program will coincide nicely with the Bush Institute and some of the archives they will offer there. During the meeting, the board received a tour of Centennial Hall. Turner shared that the new addition to campus received over 900 visitors over Family Weekend.

best selling beer until 2001, when Bud Light beat it out. Two brewing companies, Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors Brewing, produce all but one of the beers on the list. However, most of the brands that made this list never received the amount of marketing that other, more successful products by these companies have. “Brewers consolidate marketing funds and choose a few brands to focus on in order to keep brands current,” Bentzin said. Analysts from 24/7 Wall Street believe that a national desire to cut calories any way possible has caused this decline, but three light beers, Milwaukee’s Best Light, Michelob Light and Bud Select, still made the list of “losers.” “Some brands lend themselves more to being a light beer. Light beers that are more feminine tend to sell better,” Bentzin said. “A really masculine brand may not perform as well as a light beer.” SMU senior Marshall Hernandez, a beer drinker with a special affinity for IPAs, also thinks this explanation seems off base. “I think if someone is going to drink beer, they realize that there really

isn’t a healthy way to do it,” Hernandez said. The 24/7 Wall Street study also points to an increase in sales of imported beers as a possible cause. “Most people who really enjoy beer realize that the best beer isn’t going to come from your local gas station, so they are willing to spend more money on nice imports,” Hernandez said. Senior Daly Hite is also an avid beer drinker. Her favorite beer is Sweetwater 420, a microbrew from Atlanta, Ga., but like Hernandez, she isn’t too surprised by the shift to imports. “A lot of imports like Corona are light without being an actual light beer,” Hite said. “I am sure that has contributed to the change.” Bentzin attributes the sales drop for these brands to a lifestyle shift between generations of beer drinkers. He believes it is a societal norm for people to choose a beer that conveys something about them as a person. “Beer brands’ customers get old,” Bentzin said. “Beer drinkers tend to not drink the brands their parents drink and instead seek out new brands. It’s a challenge to keep a beer brand relevant.”

opinion

Approaching wedding day brings reflection, renewed love It is five days before my wedding. People keep asking me if I am excited about the big day. I am very excited, but some of my excitement has been chipped away over the course of my 14-month engagement. I have worried about the logistics of the big day, of course. Will I trip on my heels walking down the aisle? Will the DJ show up? Will the cake table fall over? Will it rain? Kelly Bub However, my deepest worry involves much more than the logistics of that day. Instead, it involves my upcoming vow to spend the rest of my life with someone. Since I have been engaged, I have had countless people warn me against walking down the aisle. Most of these people have suffered after going through the emotional agony of a divorce themselves. Currently, 50 percent of all American marriages end in divorce. I often wonder to myself if these 50 percent of people go into the marriage knowing that divorce is a possibility. Jennifer Gauvain, author of “How not to marry the wrong guy,” recently conducted a study that revealed that 30 percent of divorced women knew on their wedding day that they were marrying the wrong man. The top reasons cited for still going through with the wedding despite their concerns included: “(1) We dated for so long I didn’t want to waste all the time we had invested, (2) I don’t want to be alone, (3) He’ll change after we get married, (4) It is too late/too embarrassing/too expensive to call off the wedding, (5) He is a really nice guy and I don’t want to hurt his feelings.” I became alarmed because some of these reasons did apply to me. My fiancé and I have been dating for a long time, I don’t want to be alone and he is a really nice guy whose feelings I don’t want to hurt. After more thought, however, I recognized these factors alone did not indicate inevitable divorce. I don’t want to be alone because I enjoy spending time with my fiancé. I do not want to hurt him because I love and care for him. We have been dating for a long time because we work well together. A committed marriage is extremely important to me, and I think the institution of marriage ought to be better protected. Often, people may have legitimate reasons for divorce, but in some situations, I think marriage is entered into too lightly. I recognize it might sound concerning that I have fears about what should be the happiest day of my life. In my mind, however, most people who fully consider the magnitude of a marriage vow will probably share similar fears. Forever is a long time, and that fact alone is intimidating. Forever will have its joyous moments but forever will also have its challenges. Forever is unpredictable and full of changes. Forever is not easy. This Saturday, I vow to marry my best friend, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, forever. Contributor

At this point, Facebook’s updated layout is no longer news. If the update itself wasn’t obvious to you to begin with, you probably could Brandon Bub have surmised that something had changed just by listening to your friends complain about it. This has become a highly routinized activity: Facebook rolls out some new change that somehow manages to make the site less functional, users promise to boycott the service, and then within a week people have completely forgotten what they were upset about to begin with. “But this time it’s going to be different!” we tell ourselves. Some people like to say that they’re finally going to switch over completely to Google+, but I feel like that’s much akin to promising you’re going to move to Canada if your candidate of choice doesn’t win a presidential election; even if you actually did leave you wouldn’t have any friends there regardless. Now personally, I have problems with calling out Facebook for “betraying” its users. First of all, Facebook, if you’ll remember, is a free service. The only people who have to pay to use it are the

advertisers, and it’s because of their influence that most of these changes probably come about in the first place. Facebook has an active user base of over 750 million people; for advertisers, that’s a dream come true. My second point of contention is that no one actively forces anyone to use Facebook. Just because it’s something that our generation has become so perennially associated with (much like smartphones, Harry Potter books, and unnecessary Final Destination sequels) doesn’t mean that one has to actively conform and continue to use it. In fact, there was a period of time last year when I actually did stop using Facebook. I deactivated my account for the span of about two months, and aside from the fact that some of my friends thought I might have been dead for part of that time, I really enjoyed not having the thing for such an extended period of time. True, it doesn’t eliminate a typical student’s insuppressible desire to procrastinate (that problem could likely only be solved by shutting down the internet entirely) but it does seriously reduce the amount of time that one feels obligated to spend on the Internet. When using Facebook, I’ve noticed that I’ve become so desensitized to people’s wall posts

and status updates that I can read a good two dozen updates on the news feed and not be able to remember a single one of them 30 seconds later. Let’s be honest: no one’s really posting anything profound on a social networking website, and if someone really had something important to say to you they’d probably tell you in person. But of course I know the biggest reason for not wanting to give up the social networking site entirely: “Yeah, I might hate it,” you think to yourself, “but it’s just so convenient and I just don’t see how I could live without it.” If that’s what you think, let me promise you this: you’d be able to live without it just fine because before 2006 you were doing exactly that. Yes, Facebook can be a highly useful social networking tool. It can be great for organizing events, getting in touch with old friends you otherwise might have no way of finding, keeping track of people’s birthdays, and sending out messages to people who are more likely to check their profile page than their e-mail address. But I also think in some ways it’s robbing us of genuine human contact. Think about what “happy birthdays” have become. It’s so easy to just check your front page when you first log into the site, see who has a birthday that particular day,

send them a prepackaged “HBD” message, and then just forget about it entirely. Wouldn’t it mean so much more to actually call that person to check up on them and see how they’re doing? Or if you have no way if getting in touch with them by phone, you could at least write out a carefully thought out e-mail expressing how you’re genuinely glad that person exists and that they legitimately mean something to you rather than write them the exact same message about 200 other people are going to send them that same day. It likely won’t be difficult to get used to Facebook’s latest changes; in fact, most of us probably already have by this point. But if you do find yourself legitimately upset about them, don’t just accept the service as a necessary evil in your life. Try deactivating your account just for a little while; you can always reactivate it at any time, and you might find you’ll benefit more from the lack of constant novelty and stimulation.

What happened to the dialogue? Contributor

I find modern dating to be highly amusing. When you think about it, it’s the most inefficient way for humans to Andrew Pinkowitz communicate, simply because of the amount of subtlety involved. For instance, many advice columnists would have you believe that a simple hair-twirl could telegraph attraction. Or that people have a natural tendency to point their feet at those whom we are most interested in. Is this really all we have left to tell someone how we feel about them? I suppose I’m just a very direct person. I’d be far happier with telling someone, “Hey, I like you,” instead of constantly recalculating interest levels based on mere gestures and other arbitrary clues. To my dismay, though, it seems

society has a natural inclination to do the opposite! In the dating realm, putting oneself out there could mean rejection, and for that reason, potential lovers might never impart their desire to each other. In every other aspect of our lives, communication is revered. In a multitude of industries, professionals value communication skills as one of the most important personal attributes–from employees to CEOs. Even something as simple as ordering food at a restaurant depends on clear, direct messages. Could you imagine attempting to express your interest in the soup du jour solely by staring seductively at your server? Yet, as with many societal aspects, just because something is logical doesn’t mean it’s accepted. However, that doesn’t mean everyone has to follow along with the crowd. If anything, it’s worth a try. In the wise words of Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what

you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” Too often we repress what we think, knowing the result might not please those around us. It’s time to take a stand on expressing our beliefs and desires. They are what define us as people. However, this is not to say though speech is free, we are not held responsible. Talking about convictions is a dangerous undertaking because of the repercussions. It allows us to be judged, criticized, and examined. Or, in romantic or personal affairs, rejected. These negatives, though, are nothing compared to an unfulfilled longing for expression. See, there are a multitude of positives as well. What better way is there to know those around us than by conversing about what we hold most dear? Every stranger is mysterious by default. Self-revelation is key to a meaningful relationship.

Though, listening is also incredibly important. Some of my most enlightening experiences are from simply listening to my friends talk. Hearing each others’ perspectives both strengthens our bonds and makes us more learned people. Too frequently do people get entrapped in their own thoughts and convictions. When superficiality is abandoned, and true dialogue occurs, mere acquaintances become great friends. So talk about that topic you’re passionate about. Listen to the “long story” instead of the short version. Tell that person how you feel, in whatever way is most appropriate. You could both strengthen existing relationships and build great new ones.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Baylor bans smoking amidst controversy The Baylor Health Care System announced their “no nicotine” policy last week, barring anyone who uses tobacco in any form from working for them. This policy will go into effect next year. Baylor’s decision to stop hiring cigarette smokers is nothing new. In the early 2000s, Baylor began “smoking cessation” programs for employees that would help them kick the addiction. In 2007, Baylor banned smoking on its campus altogether, charging employees that smoke $50 a year to supplement the free healthcare Baylor provides them. Baylor has now decided the take the next step. The Daily Campus Editorial Board feels that there are legitimate arguments for both sides and has decided to argue both for and against the smoking ban.

FOR As one of the largest hospitals in the state of Texas and one of the largest private hospitals in the country, Baylor University Medical Center has an obligation to set the standard for other health-care providers in the United States. While doctors, surgeons, nurses and staff members who smoke may have the capacity to provide excellent health-care to their patients, hospitals are beginning to ask themselves whether someone with a nicotine addiction is really the kind of person they want telling their patients how to live healthy lifestyles. After all, Baylor Health Care Systems has an ongoing investment in their employees. Given the salaries they pay and the benefits they provide, employees represent an extremely valuable asset to the hospital. By choosing to no longer hire tobacco users and pressuring current employees to quit the habit, Baylor is securing the long-term security of its investment. While discriminating against smokers in the hiring process may seem a bit cruel, Baylor is within its right to do so. No law exists on the

AGAINST state or federal level that restricts employers from discriminating against smokers. And because Baylor is a private hospital, they have even more liberty to limit their candidate pool as they see fit. In fact, smoking is not an unalienable right. In 2008, the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium published a pamphlet entitled, “There is No Constitutional Right to Smoke,” squelching any notion of an “irrevocable right to smoke.” Such rights do not exist. Baylor Health Care System’s mission is to “serve all people through exemplary health care, education, research and community service.” In putting an unceremonious end to tobacco use among employees, Baylor has publicly reaffirmed its dedication to promoting healthy living, making large gains in the fight against tobacco use. No longer a victim of hypocrisy, Baylor has decided to employ a staff that actually embodies its mission statement. Baylor University Medical Center is leading by example, showing what it means to maintain a 100 percent tobacco-free lifestyle.

This policy does not allow any sort of leniency for these longtime employees that are already smokers. Current employees who smoke will now have to pay an increased insurance premium of $650 per year. While Baylor is a private institution and does have a legal right to impose such a policy, this type of radical measure without forewarning seems unfair. While no one can deny the health benefits of not smoking, limiting your company’s hiring pool to only nonsmokers could prove to be harmful in the future. Hiring doctors and nurses should be based on their abilities and talent, not on their personal lives or their own life decisions. Banning all nicotine users from working with in the Baylor system is a drastic step and it makes you wonder what will be next. Fried foods, ice cream and heavy red meat are also unhealthy for your body. Will people who eat these products be banned next? Tobacco is not illegal and neither are unhealthy foods, but should a company hire based on what an employee does in

his or her own home? That seems like a silly comparison, but the insurance premiums for obesity are just as high as for smokers and there are deaths every year from unhealthy eating, so Baylor would have the same basis for a ban on that. Applicants will be subject to a nicotine test and if they test positively they will automatically not be hired. Nicotine patches and other types of materials designed to help smokers quit show up on these tests. Baylor has not yet indicated if they will take this into account next year. Another concern with this policy is the lack of support from Baylor to help smokers quit. Smoking is an addiction and the treatment to stop can be expensive and incredibly difficult. So far there have been no offers from Baylor to help pay for that care. Overall, while there are obvious benefits to the company and even to the employees, this type of extreme policy leaves currently employed smokers out in the cold and could negatively impact the hospital’s future.

orchestra

Meadows Symphony packs a full house By JOE RICHARDSON Contributing Writer joeyr@smu.edu

People flocked to Caruth Auditorium Friday night, excited to see the Meadows Symphony Orchestra’s first show of the season. The house was nearly full. There were several lone seats peppered throughout the auditorium, but they served mostly as buffers between strangers. The audience was a study in diversity. Young and old alike mingled and then found their seats. They lacked a certain formal or casual consistency. Some were dressed in their Sunday morning best, while others wore their Friday night worst. There was electricity in the audience when the band took their seats amid thunderous applause. These ovations were followed by a hush. Every person in the room waiting for one man: Dr. Paul Phillips. The audience erupted when he walked with a sprightly step to his place before the orchestra.

When the applause died down, the concert started. It began with a thunderous, haunting sound that could rattle heaven, hell and everywhere in between. It was a complex piece composed by SMU professor Simon Sargon. He’s been teaching at SMU since 1983 and is currently teaching composition. The piece, “Tapestries”, is made up of four orchestral scenes from his opera “Saul, the King”. “Creating ‘Tapestries’ was a way of expanding some of the musical and philosophical themes of the opera by working them without voices, in a symphonic way,” he said. The composer was honored by the inclusion of his piece in the night’s program, “This weekend I am incredibly relaxed, confident in the high caliber of the musicians and the artistry and depth of interpretation that Dr. Phillips brings to every piece he performs. It is a joy to know that my music is in such wonderfully talented hands.” The high point of the evening was the second piece in the

program. Aaron Copland’s “Concerto for Piano and Orchestra” was written in 1926 and was inspired by the jazz music that made that era famous. For this piece, a shining black piano took center stage. A woman in a shimmering purple dress made her way, escorted by the applause of the audience. She is Dr. Carol Leone the chair of the keyboard department at SMU. Leone has a long history with music. Her father, Joseph Leone, was a jazz pianist for several decades. Dr. Leone has been performing since she was 3 years old. Leone said that Copland’s piece is not well known, but it was written by one of the most important composers of the 20th century. “It’s brash and bold and jazzy and all the things that people really respond to, so I feel it’s a piece people need to hear,” she said. “The Meadows Symphony is such a great group of talented kids that he [Phillips] is able to, in such a short period of time, bring them

up to a very professional level.” The good doctor was right. The jazz and blues influences were skillfully blended into this great piece of orchestration. You could almost smell the gin and hear the sound of old jazz masters wafting out of old clubs on a moonlit night. The music stirred the heart and shook the soul. The bright peal of the horns, the waltzing notes of the wind instruments, the hum of violins, and the hammering tones from the piano shook all my preconceptions of what music should be. The orchestra ended with Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5 in C minor.” This was one of Beethoven’s most famous pieces, and they did not disappoint. The powerful sounds and expert musicianship of the orchestra would have made the old composer proud. If Beethoven heard the masterful way his creation was performed, he would have danced for joy, or done whatever it is that European composers do when they’re happy.

Theater

Shakespeare in the Park brings ‘Hamlet’ to Dallas By ALEX HOSKINS Contributing Writer ahoskins@smu.edu

Shakespeare in the Park has become staple of the theatrical world. There’s just some deep, natural quality about Shakespeare’s work that lends itself so well to outdoor performance. Dallas’s own Shakespeare in the Park is located at the Samuell Grand Park Amphitheater, and the talk of this season is the current product of “Hamlet.” “Hamlet” is one of Shakespeare’s most iconic tragedies, a tale of betrayal, vengeance, and loss spun in the kingdom of Denmark. Hamlet’s father has been killed by his Uncle, Claudius, who is has taken the late king’s crown and his wife as his own. Hamlet, learning of this treachery through the ghost of his father, sets

out on a warpath for Claudius’s blood, a path that sparks the timeless debate between what constitutes justice and where the line is drawn at vengeance. Cameron Cobb, as Hamlet, had his work cut out for him with such a monumental part. He did better than most would be expected to do with such a complex character, but acted to the audience in a way that made it clear that he was performing. In his performance, we became conscious of ourselves and felt removed from the play. During his “Get thee to a nunnery speech,” in which he inaugurates his ploy of insanity by spurning Ophelia to a nunnery, his anger was very present, but seemed completely undirected at anything. It was almost as if he was just very upset about something and Ophelia

just happened to be there. When it came time for Hamlet to slip into madness, Cobb put a on a very convincing act, and his madness scenes were arguably some of his best, though he could’ve used a little more craziness. Given the incredibly daunting role of Hamlet, Cobb did admirably. Not the best, but certainly no at all the worst. Jenny Ledel very cleverly balanced Ophelia’s utter madness at the loss of her Hamlet with the girl desperately gripping to her sanity. The moment in which she truly loses herself, after Hamlet scorned her in the aforementioned scene, her upstage walk, in which she loosely dragged her feet across of the stage, was unnerving and gripping, effectively conveying her slip from sanity.

Sudoku

By Michael Mepham

Constance Gold Perry excellently blended the pleading, desperate queen with the loving mother as Gertrude. She had moments of true tenderness with Hamlet in Act II, and brought an authenticity to her motherly character that was a bright light in a sometimes dim room. Unfortunately, most of the actors were painfully static throughout the performance. Characters would file in, take their places, say their lines, then leave. Little to no action, gesturing, or direction, much less motive, ever occurred during dialoague. When Gertrude is poisoned at the end of Act II, her husband, Claudius, seemed completely fine with it, and so did she. This general theme did not aid the fact that keeping the attention of the audience was difficult outdoors.

aside, the setup just isn’t suited for theatrical productions. The audience is so spread out in comparison to such a small stage filling the line of sight of the viewer that you just can’t ignore the fact that you’re very obviously looking at a stage and watching people say lines. There’s no immersion like there is in a traditional theater or an actual amphitheater (it’s really just a sloped lawn with a stage at the bottom, not like the traditional circular amphitheaters that come to mind). A show just cannot be moving unless you meet the bare minimum requirement of immersion, and this show did not hit that mark. It’s an interesting production to see. Hamlet runs at the Samuell Grand Park Amphitheater from Sept. 21 – Oct. 16.

The lighting and music, however, was surprisingly good. The stage was bathed in a neutral yellow or pink during most scenes, but turned on the characters, shifting into an eerie blue, whenever nature’s law were violated, such as scenes of murder or madness. When such a light shift would occur, the music would begin to play backwards, really jarring the audience into the realization that something was very rotten in Denmark. One issue with Shakespeare in the Samuell Grand Park is the lack of immersion. If you cannot be drawn into the show and believe the illusion before you, then the message and the power of the production is lost. This park is located right off ERL Thornton Freeway, not to mention on a helicopter path. Noise distractions

Memphis game gives SMU first shutout since 1998 By NICK KARAGEORGE Contributing Writer nkarageorge@smu.edu

SMU quarterback J.J. McDermott led the way for SMU on Saturday throwing for 357-yards and three touchdowns as the Mustangs routed the Memphis Tigers 42-0. The Mustangs first away win of the season helped the team improve to 3-1 overall, and 2-0 in Conference USA play. The game marks the first time that the Mustangs have beaten Memphis, and they did it in a dominating fashion. The Mustangs had 519 total yards compared to only 139 for the Tigers. This is the second game in a row now that the Mustangs could rest starters late in the game, which will help keep the team rested and boost the morale of the entire team. McDermott threw 44 passes tonight to lead the offensive explosion for the Mustangs. This is the first game that McDermott

Associated Press

SMU’s Zack Line (middle) rushes for his second touchdown against the Memphis defense during first half action at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, Tenn. Saturday, September 24, 2011. The SMU Mustangs trampled the Memphis Tigers 42-0.

has thrown a touchdown pass as the starting quarterback for SMU, and as he improves the team seems to follow suit. Wide receiver Darius

Johnson and Der’Rikk Thompson both had big games as well. Johnson led the way catching 10 passes for 126-yards and two

touchdowns, and Thompson added 6 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown. The Mustangs also had success

on the ground against Memphis. Zach Line had another big game, he carried the ball 20 times for 136-yards and three touchdowns. Line now has 11 touchdowns this season and his success has translated into success for the offense. Line has made the red zone offense very productive and he has a knack for finishing drives off once the offense gets it close. The outstanding play of McDermott and Line makes the Mustangs very difficult to defend because they have the ability to beat teams with the run and the pass. When speaking about how the defense play against Northwestern State last week Coach June Jones said, “They played well, hard, and physical, I am just disappointed they didn’t get the shutout.” While there was no room for any disappointment against Memphis on Saturday; the defense got the shutout and it was their first since 1998. The defense has not

allowed a point in two consecutive games now and it seems that they take the rhythm away from opposing offenses early and never let them find it. The defense held the Tigers to an impressive 14-yards rushing the entire game. The front seven stopped the run and got to the passer just like the offense. There couldn’t be a better time for the team to be peaking. Next week the Mustangs will travel to Fort Worth to take on rival TCU who is also 3-1. The Mustangs have been overshadowed by the Horned Frogs on the football field the last few years but should go in to the game with all of the confidence and skill they need to win. SMU had four turnovers against Memphis this week, if the Mustangs are going to be successful against TCU that cannot happen again. SMU can go into this game with confidence knowing that the last two games they have played in they blew out their opponents.

Recap

Women’s soccer celebrates weekend wins By ERICA PENUNURI Associate Sports Ediotr epenunuri@smu.edu

The SMU Mustangs beat Southern Miss 3-1 Sunday afternoon on Wescott Field. This win puts the Mustangs on the top of Conference USA. During the game, Junior Mallory Baum put SMU on the board just four minutes into the game. Sunday’s victory comes after the women’s soccer team won their conference opener against No. 19 UCF 1-0 Friday night at Westcott Field. Along with improving the Mustang’s record to 5-4-0, the Friday victory also earned the program’s first win over a ranked opponent since Nov. 15, 2002.

After a scoreless first-hour, the ball finally saw the back of the net when the Mustangs capitalized on a UCF foul, 25 yards out from the goal. Sophomore Courtney Smith hit a low shot and teammate Kaitlyn Eidson got a helpful touch on it to direct the shot past UCF goalkeeper Aline Reis. The game-winning goal was Eidson’s first goal of the season. The Knights led in shots on goal 13-5 but struggled to execute any shots to count on the scoreboard. The shutout SMU held last night was goalkeeper Courtney Webb’s third shutout of the season. She had a total of five saves and was assisted with the solid

performance of the Mustang defense. Home games have generated successful outcomes from the Mustangs this season. The Mustangs are now 4-0 this season at home, out scoring their opponents 9-1. The offense has acted aggressively putting 21 more shots on frame and has outshot the two sides by a combined 66-31. The defense also has attested to the Mustang strength by producing shutouts against UTSA, Prairie View A&M and UCF. SMU currently has 12 goals under their belt and a keeper, Courtney Webb, who is currently ranked fourth in Conference USA.
