Dallas ISD keeps its superintendent Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Michael Hinojosa has signed a contract extension for five more years in the district.

After pursuing a position in Las Vegas, the superintendent is now in the position to rebuild relationships.

WBAP reports that some teachers aren’t as welcoming, since they feel he was ready to leave the Lone Star State.

Hinojosa, however, told WFAA otherwise.

“My heart is in Dallas,” he said.

He has taken his name off the market, and is back to focusing on the Dallas schools.

Keeping the same job at the same pay, he now continues his duties while mending relationships with trustees and others in the district.

Don’t have a smartphone? Neither do most Americans It may seem like everywhere you look someone’s typing on their BlackBerry, someone else is scrolling through their iPhone.

Meanwhile, you’re still pressing the number six twice to get the letter “n” for typing a text.

A new research from Forrester indicates that most Americans fall into this latter situation, as only 17 percent of Americans own a smartphone.

Cell phone use is high across all U.S. demographics, according to the study. Approximately 82 percent of consumers own a cell phone, and 73 percent say that their cell phones are their most used device.

The younger you are, the more likely you are to have a cell phone, according to Forrester. Even still, a vast majority goes for the cheaper, simpler-feature cell phones.

College Republicans, Former First Lady Bush Democrats debate presents education initiative

By Robert Clements News Intern rclements@smu.edu

By TAYLOR ADAMS News Editor tadams@smu.edu

Former First Lady Laura Bush, with other educators and leaders, presented the George W. Bush Institute’s first education initiative at North Dallas High School Wednesday morning.

The initiative, the Alliance to Reform Education Leadership (AREL), focuses on the principals in schools, as they are the leaders who influence teachers who, of course, influence students.

While there is a push for higher performance of principals, James Glassman, executive director of the Institute, understands that the current situation simply needs improving.

“Make no mistake,” he said, “there are good teachers and there are good principals today.”

Mrs. Bush took the podium, explaining the importance of a well-trained educator.

“School principals shape the environment in which people are able to operate successfully,” she said. “We believe that strong leaders create a cascade of success.”

The initiative will start in six cities including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Denver.

By 2012, they expect to effect 25 of the country’s cities, said Mrs. Bush. They aim to have nearly half of the nation’s principals by 2020.

James Guthrie, senior education fellow for the Institute, understands that this is a big

SMU’s College Republicans and College Democrats held their first debate of the year Wednesday in the Varsity.

Topics covered included a discussion on “The Dream Act,” which repealed the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy, extending the Bush tax cuts and the Texas gubernatorial race.

Chad Cohen, junior and president of College Republicans, moderated the event. Panelists included College Democrats’ President David de la Fuente and

secretary Brandon Bub, as well as College Republican officers Christoph Schmidt and Daniel Summa..

The four spoke about their positions on key issues of today and shared some background information about their respective organizations. Cohen encouraged audience participation as well, making the debate interactive and dynamic.

Two vocal Republicans included treasurer Charlie McCaslin and freshman Arthur MacAlpine, whose comments garnered both applause and rebuttals from the audience.

AWARENESS

Pink is in this October

By KATIE SIMON Managing Editor katies@smu.edu

As today starts off the month of October, there may be more pink seen around campus and the Dallas area.

The pink promotions are going through various retailers, organizations are hosting events, runners are getting ready to race. All for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Founded in 1985 by a partnership between professional medical associations, government agencies and national public service organizations, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) is dedicated to creating global awareness about the

disease through fundraising events all over the nation.

Across Dallas, many organizations and retailers are pitching in to raise funds for breast cancer research.

Southern Fried Paper, a custom stationary and graphic design studio created by SMU alumna Chelsea Carpenter, is supporting breast cancer awareness through the “I Believe in Pink” campaign.

Throughout the month of October, 20 percent of the retail price on her “Pink” items will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

“It’s actually my best-selling design,” Carpenter said of her collection, which includes cards, prints

and boxed sets that are monogrammed with Audrey Hepburn’s famous “I believe in pink” quote.

The collection can be bought on her website or in local retail stores, including Random in Hillside Village Shopping Center off of Mockingbird Lane and Uptown Country Home in Snider Plaza.

Spa-goers can make their contributions to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month as well.

The “Pinkle Toes” pedicure special offered at the V Spa at Hilton Anatole is everything pink: a pink grapefruit foot soak, scrub and moisturizer that

Tri Deltas work up a sweat to put down body insecurities

DALLAS, TEXAS

“Are your legs burning yet?” yelled the boot camp instructor to 50 girls who ran up and down the indoor soccer court after a series of squats Wednesday evening.

Boot Camp was one of four classes offered as part of TriFit, a workout program sponsored by the Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta) sorority at the Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports.

The event also featured classes in self-defense, Pilates, yoga fusion and

kickboxing, all taught by Dedman Group X instructors.

“Most of the committee is very active and enjoys social exercising, so we wanted to take that love of ours and create an event in which large groups of college students can experience the same,” said Lauren Ritchie, a coordinator of the event.

TriFit was a campus-wide event designed to kick-off Tri Delta’s Reflections program and Fat Talk Free Week. The Reflections program is sponsored by Tri Delta to help promote a positive body image among college students.

“It’s a great way to remind our chapter to stop any negative talk about our bodies and focus on all the positive things we love about our chapter and our friends,” said Alex Wilstrup, another coordinator of TriFit. The program featured four classes that are also offered through the Dedman Center’s Group X pass, and the instructors put participants through their regular excercises.

“It was intense — it was fun though,” first-year Liz Glander, who participated in the kickboxing class, said. “I sweat more in that class than I

Undefeated ponies travel to Florida, face Knights in soccer

By EJ HOLLAND

Associate Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

The No. 5 ranked SMU men’s soccer team will put their undefeated record on the line when they travel to Orlando this Saturday to face the UCF Knights at 6 p.m.

SMU (9-0-0) picked up their first conference victory of the year with a 3-2 win over UAB last Friday.

“There’s nothing better than getting your first conference win against a good team on the road,” SMU Head Coach Tim McClements said. “We’ve had a good run in non-conference play, but that doesn’t have any bearing on the conference, which is the most important part.”

The Mustangs then defeated Jacksonville in overtime, 3-2

Sunday. “It’s a great win,” McClements said. “It wasn’t a pretty win, but it was a great win. Playing UAB Friday took a lot out of us, but the guys showed a lot of composure, class and heart. We kept doing what we do well, and were able to get the win in the end.”

UCF (5-2-0) had their own thrilling overtime victory over the weekend as they defeated Marshall 2-1. The win gave the Knights their first conference victory of the year as they head back home after three games on the road, which also featured a win over Army and a loss to Massachusetts.

“It hasn’t been easy being on the road the last three weekends,” UCF Head Coach Bryan Cunningham said.

“I am proud of the guys for beating a very good and disciplined Marshall team on the road. I hope that a win

Social networks reach all ages

By KATIE TUFTS

Contributing Writer ktufts@smu.edu

Social networking websites have come a long way from communication and entertainment sources among college students.

Now, even grandparents stay connected with their children and grandchildren through websites like Facebook.

As the largest social networking site in the world, Facebook was created in 2004 as a small communication site for college students in Boston, but has now expanded its client base to include other demographic groups around the world.

“Facebook has made communication and staying in touch with friends and more recently, family so much easier than before these networking sites were around, especially for keeping up with friends and family that live in different cities,” Southern Methodist University junior Steven Kitt said.

Social networking continues to grow among users, who are as young as 13, but also among older people who have become better acquainted with websites

predominantly used by collegeaged students.

“My son and his wife keep up with siblings, cousins…and know much more about extended family this way,” said Vicki Tongate, SMU English professor, mother and grandmother.

Tongate explains the appeal of Facebook to parents and grandparents.

“Since everyone is so computer-savvy, it’s a very easy way to share photos and stories with multiple people at one time,” Tongate said.

“For families with college-age children or adult children who live at a distance, it’s a real blessing,” she said.

According to The New York Times’ “Business Day,” Facebook has recently surpassed 500 million users and is a household name.

The website has expanded as an unstoppable phenomenon that has people all over the world sharing thoughts, photos and sometimes, every mundane detail of their lives.

“I’ve always loved Facebook as a good way to stay in touch because all of my friends go to schools in different places. It

has definitely changed a lot though --now my mom has one, and even my Grandpa has one too,” said Gina Compagno, sophomore at California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo.

However, not all students feel that having millions of users is an ideal situation.

write is almost more work than just deleting it,” she said.

Although social networking makes communication easier, students must now be more aware of the information they are publishing on the Internet.

With the increase of individual users on Facebook, employers and businesses have become familiar with Facebook as well.

“According to a recent survey

by Microsoft, 75 percent of U.S. recruiters and human-resource professionals report that their companies require them to do online research about candidates. Many of them use a range of sites when scrutinizing applicants – including search engines, social-networking sites,” said Jeffrey Rosen, law professor at George Washington University, in the New York Times Magazine article “The Web Means the End of Forgetting.”

As students are looking for jobs in tough economic times, they must become aware of every detail that they or others put up on the Internet,

as it could be the deciding factor in whether a company hires them.

“I have learned to be really careful of what information I put on my Facebook page, and what my friends put on it,” Compagno said.

“If there is ever anything that I think is inappropriate in any way then I delete it right then.”

While students may need to be more careful, Tongate said that Facebook can still be beneficial to those with a busy lifestyle in the 21st century.

“It’s still a wonderful possibility for all of us who are pressed for time but who still want to stay up to date with our friends and loved ones,” she said.

Those interested in the development, growth and change of social networking websites can see the upcoming film “The Social Network.”

The film is based on the book “The Accidental Billionaires” by Ben Mezrich And is opening in theaters everywhere today.

‘Superman’comes to the rescue Play removes

By ROBERT CLEMENTS News Intern rclements@smu.edu

American education has become a laughing-stock not only in the international community but nationally as well.

Teachers unions, educrats, partisan politics, sports, negative home life, television and a whole host of other things currently stand in the way of American success.

With a system that is so broken, why is there not a greater effort to reform? Davis Guggenheim, of “An Inconvenient Truth,” set out to inspire change.

Guggenheim’s latest film, “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” dives into the controversial world surrounding charter schools, publicly funded but independently run schools that in some circles are being heralded as the way of the future. ‘ “Waiting for ‘Superman’” follows the lives of four kids trying to get into one of these educational wonderlands.

However, there’s a catch: Only so many are allowed in, and the admission exam is a lottery.

Guggenheim believes the “lottery” idea is indicative of American education as a whole. Sure America has some of the best schools in the world, but not everyone gets to attend them.

For those lucky enough, dreams of college and careers abound, and all is well. But that is not enough for Guggenheim, who attended a private school as do his children.

His goal in making this film was to address the dysfunction present in our school systems and to “get

certainly combat some of the ego problems plaguing school corridors.

The film then returns to the idea of more charter schools. The four children, one from Harlem, one from Los Angeles, one from Washington, DC and one from the Bay Area, work together beautifully, though miles apart, leaving audiences in tears.

Their ambition and optimism are things every American has to admire, and consequently the actual lottery becomes only a Courtesy of Paramount Pictures minor portion of the film.

MUSIC

Q: Who is Spookeasy?

A. We’re a Dallas-based indie pop band. It’s Logan Kelson on guitars, Joe Tacke on bass, Jordan Williams on drums and me on keys/vox.

Q. When did the band form?

A. As a complete band- a little over a year ago

Q. How did it all start?

A. Well, Logan and I met working at a coffee shop four years ago and started jamming and writing songs together. Everything else basically happened naturally.

We recorded demos together, decided we wanted to play live and actually put an ad on craigslist for band members.

Most of the craigslist members came and went with the exception of our bassist Joe who we immediately clicked with. We met Jordan at a Wavves show in Deep Ellum, saw his band Hormones play a few times and he jumped on our project shortly after. That’s about it.

Q. What is your sound like/who are your biggest influences?

A. This is hard. Honestly whatever Logan and I are listening to at the time really influences each different song, which is probably why we sound a little all over the place. But that’s the way we like it.

We’ve been told we sound like many random bands. I’ve heard everything from the Cars to the Pixies. One guy said we sounded like Dick Dale meets the Cure… which I found interesting.

“Our Town” is a play that breaks two things central to American theater: life in America and theater.

It seems backward that a play so highly recognized and significant in American culture comments on the two conventions upon which it relies, but that is what makes Thornton Wilder the quintessence of an American playwright.

The SMU theater department’s production of this classic play does it by complete justice, combining a strong mixture of undergraduate and graduate students, with the help of a professional actor, Jack Greenman, to take on the narrative role of the stage manager.

There is no real set. The only props are tables and chairs, and the actors themselves create the sound effects.

This minimalism forces the play to rely solely on the faces before you and the story told by Greenman’s character.

Beverly Johnson and John Dana Kenning play the characters of Emily Webb and George Gibbs, respectively, upon whom the plot hinges.

Both actors rise to the challenge of playing the coming of age of these lovers, and Kenning does an exceptional job balancing naivety and assured love.

The most heart-warming scene

of this production does not take place between the lovers, charming though they may be, but instead in a quiet moment between George and his younger sister Rebecca, played on point by the adorable Katherine Bourne.

The play’s quaint setting is quickly engulfed by the draping on the wall that is not revealed until the third act, entitled “Death.”

The visual drama that this adds to the final scene of the play is matched by the strong performance of Johnson.

This production in Meadows is a testimony to not only the continued relevance of this play set more than 100 years ago, but also demonstrates the strength of the theater department.

Each actor and actress plays their role with a maturity beyond a common 21 or 22 year old.

The play is also run almost seamlessly by the undergraduate crew.

If you are planning on attending this play, get your ticket soon as they are almost completely sold out.

And a note to freshmen who might be new to theater. This play is in a very intimate setting and there are a group of seats on the floor that you might not want to sit in, if you find yourself uncomfortable when actors get near you.

barriers, shows actors’ skill

Q. Did you, Stephanie, always want to be in a band?

A. I always dreamt about it, but it seemed like something that would be way to far out of my reach. I also never really liked any of the songs I wrote until I met Logan.

I always assumed finding gigs and a following would be impossible too. It does take work, but it’s really just turned out to be a blast.

Q. How long have you played guitar?

A. Well, my mom gave me her Taylor acoustic when I turned 16 and I’ve been playing since. I’m really just a bedroom guitarist.

I use it to write songs and then let Logan take over the guitar playing, because he is much better. I focus on the keys mostly in Spookeasy, which I’ve been playing since 5 or 6.

Q. What are the details about the show on Friday?

A. It’s at the Double Wide in Dallas (Deep Ellum). Doors are at 9, We’ll play at 10, The Lemurs at 11 and Bright Light Social Hour at 12. We’re almost more excited about this show just to watch as fans! Both bands are from Austin and are super great. And it’s “Bright Light Social Hour” album release! And it’s only 5 bucks!

Q. What else is going on

currently for Spookeasy?

A. Our first E.P. will be available at shows and on itunes Oct. 8! We will be having an E.P. release party at the City Tavern Nov. 13. You can check out our Facebook page for more details!

The Mourners offer vantage point into month-long ‘Art in October’

When an exhibit travels away from its permanent collection, it is displayed in a new context. The Dallas Museum of Art’s newest visitors, “The Mourners,” arrived from Dallas’ sister city, Dijon, France this week.

Displaced from their home at the Musee des Beux Arts, these statues have taken on a whole new life.

DMA’s website.

Dallas and Dijon are international sister cities, and this special relationship adds to the significance of “The Mourners” stay in Dallas.

The occasion is being marked by a week-long event called, “Dijon Must’Art.” During the event, top Michelin chefs will be showing off Dijon food, with special events taking place all over the city. Beginning today, French fries will be featured at the State Fair of Texas.

The mayors of both cities spoke about the similarities between Dijon and Dallas at a press conference Wednesday. They agreed that both cities shared a deep love for the arts and of food.

“This is a renewal of the twinning between our two cities, based on a love of gastronomy and art,” Dr. Francois-Andre Allaert, deputy mayor of Dijon, said. “This is the new twinning of the museum of art

of Dallas and the Musee de BeauxArts of Dijon.”

Although mustard might be the first food that comes to mind, there is so much more on the menu this week.

It seems to be no mistake that this exhibit accompanied by this mouthwatering event has arrived in October, the entire month of which will be dedicated to the arts in the Dallas Arts District.

If you’re curious to see what Dijon has to offer, apart from the mustard or you are ready to celebrate the arts in Dallas, make your way to the Arts District on Saturday, as the all-day kick-off event is sure to be a cultured block party.

EDITORIAL

University decisions shouldn’t be buried in bureaucracy September has come to an end after having marked the first Faculty Senate and Board of Trustee meetings of the year.

Our campus is riddled with “committees,” “task forces,” boards, administrators and senates. These administrative vaults are the places where decisions about the university are truly made. Unfortunately, students constitute a stark minority within this bureaucratic machine. On the contrary, students make up a clear majority in the university populace.

Granted, the inner workings of any institution require a certain degree of anonymity and confidentiality. I recognize, furthermore, that the University’s most constant unit – the student – is also its most transient. We will all be gone in four years. Moreover, the University is not a democracy. I understand.

Nevertheless, the university is an institution, and any institution requires the investment of individuals. Every student invests at least $18,615 in Southern Methodist University every semester. Every student invests these precious collegiate years in the hands of this institution. Every student invests his or her reputation and our future success in the educative hands of this university.

Yet, decisions are constantly made without our knowledge. The answers about how to best run the University are made without our even knowing the question. The Board of Trustees meets behind closed doors. The Faculty Senate allows non-faculty visitors only upon invitation of the president or Faculty Senate. Neither the Faculty Senate nor the Board of Trustees publish the minutes from their meetings.

Current documents about the university budget, the agendas for Faculty Senate, and countless task force and committee reports are not available online or otherwise. Instead, there are outdated files, password protected web pages and links that don’t work. The University is content with keeping students in the dark. AARO, Mustang Corral and the GEC certainly don’t cover how to keep your university officials accountable.

We find out about policies being made when they affect us. We always receive a polite letter about the degree to which our tuition will be raised.

We receive university calendars that reflect removed reading days. We are bombarded with e-mails about the requirement for undergraduate insurance when it requires our payment.

I in no way argue that every decision made by the University is made for the worse and will lead to the detriment of the institution. In fact, I have no way of making such a judgment because I don’t have the proper information to do so.

Instead, I argue that we deserve to know the content of these decisions.

Every student has the right to know at least what issues all of these boards, committees and task forces will be considering and the subsequent decisions they make.

We deserve these most fundamental rights because of the extent of our investment in this institution. We deserve the protection that is afforded by an informed opinion. We deserve awareness of the changes, resolutions and judgments arrived at on this campus.

This demand, dare I say, presents no administrative challenge. It requires no further task force or committee. The University could easily inform the student body about the decisions made or topics considered within the mire of administrative meetings held behind closed doors. The University has never failed to remind us when there was a hold on our accounts, when our library books were due or when we needed to move our cars for a football game.

We are not the subjects of this University. We are the participants. As such, we deserve the right to full participation in the institution. We deserve the right to know what decisions our alma mater is considering.

Student opinion has for too long been treated like an expendable resource on this campus. We deserve respect from the administrative bodies at SMU. We have a voice. The “decision-makers” ought not be afraid to inform it, ought not be afraid to listen to it.

Opinion

The Daily Campus

Letter to the Editor Response to “Thoughts from legendary SMU-TCU game” In Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Campus, Joseph Esau proclaimed, “I don’t even know where to begin expressing my thanks to the student body, faculty, staff . . . for making Saturday a memorable day.” He went on to say that even without a win, the fans turned out in red, filled the stadium with noise and remained at the game to support our team.

College game day is a national experienced every Saturday in the fall. The University of Texas, Michigan, USC, Florida State and many more, fill their stadiums with students, faculty, staff, alumni and community whether in the top 10 or not.

As a staff member, I share Joseph’s enthusiasm for SMU football and affirm his view of the fans in the stadium at the TCU game. However, I have a very different view of the journey to the stadium that night and others since “June Cometh.” Those of us who did attend the last bowl appearance 25 years ago at the Cotton Bowl, continued to support SMU football (the soccer years), playing at Ownby Stadium, playing back at the Cotton Bowl, and attending the Kansas game in 110 degree weather when Ford Stadium opened - win, lose, hot, not hot, WAC or C-USA. The faculty, staff and students embraced the Boulevard, buying tents long before the community began to return to games. SMU folks purchased season tickets, joined the Mustang Club and the Athletic Department offered free tickets to SMU faculty and staff to fill seats.

During the June Jones years, faculty and staff

have been told that free tickets will not be available.

They were made available when ticket sales did not explode but on game day. Before the TCU game, e-mails sent to faculty and staff warned that free tickets would be distributed only if available and encouraged purchase. Remaining unsold ticket would be distributed 90 minutes before game time.

The cost of space on the Boulevard skyrocketed, with faculty and staff “encouraged” to give up prime locations in favor of significant donors. A rumor is circulating that no one will be allowed on the Boulevard in future years without a ticket to the game.

Students, faculty and staff were sent communications regarding parking for Friday (a work and class day). Students had to relocate on Thursday night. Faculty and staff could park in their assigned (and paid for) spot until 5 p.m. Those in the lot after that would be charged the Event Parking Fee for that space. But without regard to this inconvenience, faculty and staff arrived on campus proudly wearing red.

Students, faculty, and staff began to enter the stadium beginning at 5:30pm – most in red and eager to Pony Up for the Mustangs. Those with the free faculty/staff tickets, asked several event staff, “Where are these seats?” finally to be told that these were tickets for the lawn. As game time approached, some “lawn fans” moved to the large section of empty seats in the west stands that had been free

Fair debates focus on evidence Response to “Professors express multi-disciplinary disappointment about Darwinian event” The debate over the adequacy of Darwinian accounts of evolution has always been heated. There is nothing wrong with a heated debate, as long as the debate focuses on the scientific evidence.

That was our goal during the recent event “4 Nails in Darwin’s Coffin,” held at SMU on Sept. 23. Unfortunately, a letter criticizing the event to the Daily Campus by eight SMU faculty members, including Lecturer John Wise and Professor Ronald Wetherington, consists almost entirely of baseless personal attacks. This is, unfortunately, a common pattern among defenders of Darwinian orthodoxy.

During the event, which included a screening of the documentary “Darwin’s Dilemma,” as well as several brief presentations, we presented four straightforward arguments based on scientific evidence well-attested in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, that natural selection and random genetic mutations cannot fully explain the major adaptations we see in living things.

Any serious response to our arguments should address this evidence.

Instead of focusing on the evidence, however, these SMU faculty members accuse us of lying. They do this no fewer than 11 times in a seven hundred word letter. When charging someone with dishonesty it is customary to cite some evidence of the same, yet no evidence is cited.

They do accuse one of us, Steve Meyer, of implying at the event that it was sponsored by the SMU administration. But any fair-minded attendee will know that Meyer simply thanked the administration for allowing the event to happen.

Why would he do that?

As many of the attendees knew, Meyer participated in a similar event at SMU in 2007. SMU lecturer John Wise and others pressured the administration (unsuccessfully) to cancel that earlier event. So Meyer was thanking the SMU administration for protecting academic freedom on campus, not for sponsoring the event.

In their letter to the Daily Campus, these faculty members assert that we are not interested in debate. This is a curious accusation, since at least some who signed the letter of complaint attended the event. During the question and answer period, they were free to raise public objections. They did not do so.

Moreover, there was an attempt to schedule a time to meet privately with some of these same faculty members to have a private discussion about the scientific issues. They were unwilling to do so.

In addition to accusations of dishonesty, Wise et al. claim seven times in their letter that intelligent design is either religion or pseudoscience. And yet they fail to cite a single scientific error in our presentations. Assertions do not make arguments.

To be sure, they reference a webpage where Dr. Wise has posted critiques of our presentations (amidst various and sundry attacks on our character, credentials and honesty). We will post responses to any scientifically relevant criticisms at: www.darwinsdilemma.org/smu.

We are happy to trust SMU students to decide for themselves whether the arguments we presented have merit, and whether the responses by Wise and others are intellectually honest attempts to have an academic debate or defensive attempts to avoid such a debate.

faculty and staff seats at past games. Not until half way through the second quarter, did the “lawn fans” have to vacate for ticket holders. On the way out of the stadium, the “lawn fans” observed the box office continuing to sell tickets to the formerly “free” seats for faculty and staff.

The current football program operates: Without regard for one of the oldest traditions at SMU – Peruna.

Without acknowledgement of the support that faculty and staff provide.

Without learning from the two year loss of football.

Without understanding the values of this institution.

And without caring for the well-being and growth of SMU in the next 100 years.

The message is that SMU football does not need or want the support of the SMU faculty and staff.

I don’t want to win under these terms.

So, Joseph, you may not see another college game day like the Battle for the Iron Skillet 2010.

Two thousand of the fans are not wanted.

“4 Nails” in Professor Response This past Monday, eight different SMU faculty members submitted an opinion article entitled “SMU professors speak out against Darwin presentation.” They argued that the presentation “4 Nails in Darwin’s Coffin: New Challenges to Darwinian Evolution” put on by Discovery Institute (DI), was a “dishonest attempt to present a particular form of religion and science.” This allegation was then followed by a few dishonest, misunderstood and slightly biased claims of their own.

First of all, let me begin by stating that I will not attempt to challenge or argue the science that was presented or discussed in either the aforementioned event from last Thursday or in the article published on Monday. I intend full respect of the professors and scientists as well as their accomplishments and successes in their respective fields.

As Doug Axe, one of the featured speakers at the event said in his article “A Word to the Wise,” “serious science is being done on both sides of the debate, and that should give us confidence that a truer picture of biology will become visible as the smoke clears.” I agree and am thankful that there are great minds searching out the complexities of where, exactly, we came from.

I will, however, speak to a handful of things that I read in the professors’ article that I found to be false. For example, the professors claim that the Discovery Institute is “a well-financed organization.” I wonder, compared to what? The established scientific institutes of higher education, government agencies and even the SMU science departments are by any definition, better funded than the Discovery Institute.

Secondly, they pointed out that a representative of DI “thanked the SMU administration” (which is true) “for permitting the event, which we took to be a suggestion that it was organized by an academic program of the University.” They went on to say that neither the SMU administration nor any academic program organized the event. That part is also true. It was organized by PULSE (aka Victory Campus Ministries), a non-denominational, Christian student group that is chartered through the Office of the Chaplain. I announced this to the entire crowd at the beginning of the event, as I am the director of PULSE. The representative who “thanked the SMU administration” was aware that the 2007 DI event entitled “Darwin vs. Design” (which is mentioned in the professors’ article) was brought before President Turner by members of the SMU academic community in an attempt to have it canceled, which he did not. The statement made by the DI representative was a simple “thank you” to the president and a way to give honor to the hosting university and nothing more.

Thirdly, the professors stated that they were “outraged by the dishonesty” of the presentations and that the speakers at the event brought “pseudo-scientific” arguments. To claim that the Discovery Institute Fellows are “pseudo-scientists who are busily trying to pass themselves off on the unwary as legitimate scientists” is a strong claim. All of the presenters possess PhDs (some more than one), most from top-tiered universities. Most of them have also taught or done research at institutions such as Cambridge, UC-Berkeley and even the Smithsonian Institution. Whether or not you agree with the conclusions these scientists have drawn from their research doesn’t disqualify their credentials. It just makes their conclusions different from yours.

Finally, and this is my biggest disappointment: If the presentation was just another example of dishonesty and deception, why didn’t any of the undersigned professors who authored the article in contention and who attended the presentation, speak up publicly on Thursday? What a great opportunity to address the issues in front of a crowd that is obviously interested in the science of it. If the professors are that concerned and disturbed that the claims made were “false or misleading,” why not voice it at the time and put an end to the debate?

The speakers did a fantastic job in communicating science in a way that nonscientific people, like me, could understand. My biggest hope in bringing the DI group here was to bring a scientific view that contrasts what is largely taught in universities, and they did that well. Our goal was to resurrect the conversation about our origins and the meaning of life, and I believe they succeeded in that as well.

Again quoting Doug Axe’s article, if you had spoken up, you would have “certainly [received] a respectful hearing. At the same time [you would have shown] that Darwinism can still be defended the way scientific theories ought to be defended.

As things stand now, though, you can hardly blame people for wondering how many Darwinists really believe it can.”

You were given the opportunity to speak up and “protect the people who attended from believing dishonest science” – you did not. You were invited to publicly question the DI representatives face-to-face – you did not You had the chance to engage in debate that “advances the cause of truth” – you did not.

The university should be a place for free and vigorous academic discussion, as it is the locale of shaping the minds and beliefs of our future leaders. It should grieve us all that many in the science department at SMU fear such dialogue.

SMU travels to Houston

By JORDAN JENNINGS

SMU since 1986; however, SMU defeated Rice in 2009 at Ford Stadium 31-28.

SMU quarterback Kyle Padron has been completing only 51.4 percent of his passes this year, down more than 15 percent compared to 2009.

Padron was 14 of 35 for 169 yards and two touchdowns and an interception against TCU last weekend.

He currently has 10 touchdowns with four interceptions on the season.

The Mustang defensive will face Rice quarterback Nick Fanuzzi, who took over Taylor McHargue after the Owls’ first game of the season against No. 5 Texas. Fanuzzi hit receivers on 27 of 38 passes for 204 yards against Baylor last weekend.

Rice’s standout sophomore is runningback Sam McGuffie, who recently transferred from Michigan.

McGuffie rushed for a season-high of 64 yards last weekend. He also has 48 carries for 159 yards and a touchdown.

SMU runningback Zach Line ran for 139 yards last game, including a 29-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter against TCU. He currently averages 7.8 yards a carry and has 415 yards rushing with four touchdowns this year.

Sports Editor jjennings@smu.edu

The SMU Mustangs head to Houston this weekend for conference play against the Rice Owls on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 6 p.m.

This is the Owls’ first Conference USA game of the season. Currently Rice has a 1-3 start this year. Earlier this season Rice lost to No. 5 University of Texas and Northwestern University.

Their only win this season was to North Texas 32-31 on Sept. 11.

Last weekend, Rice was devastated 30-13 by the Baylor Bears at Rice Stadium. However, Coach David Bailiff says he believes the Owls will turn the corner soon.

In Dallas, the Mustang fans filled Gerald J. Ford Stadium last weekend to witness what would be an actionpacked game. TCU Horned Frogs were spared from frying, but definitely felt the heat of the flame after the Mustangs scored 24 points on TCU’s dominate defense.

The Ponies are currently 2-2, including a C-USA game win over UAB on Sept. 11, 28-7.It is the second away-game this year for the Mustangs, after three consecutive games at Ford Stadium. SMU’s two losses were to Texas Tech and TCU.Rice Owls have a 10 game home winning streak against

like this will help us continue to play well as we come back home.”

Nine different players have collected at least one goal for the Mustangs, and a total of 14 men have found the score-sheet.

SMU forward Juan Castillo has been named NSCAA National Player of the Week, C-USA Offensive Player of the Week and has twice been named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week. The freshman forward leads the team in goals with seven and is tied for second on the team in assists with two.

UCF has posted three shutouts in seven games this year, but will have their hands full trying to stop Castillo’s offensive fire power. Castillo works best in clutch time, illustrated by his teamleading three game-winning goals.

“It just shows how far I’ve come,” Castillo said about his goal scoring. “I owe it all to my teammates because they’ve fed the ball to me and find me in the right position. So I owe it to them.”

Junior midfielder Arthur Ivo has

also been a constant threat on offense for SMU. Ivo was named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week after scoring a goal against UAB and the game-winning goal against Jacksonville. He was also named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week for his efforts this past weekend.

Ivo is tied for second on the team with four goals and has also dished out an assist.

UCF sophomore midfielder Nik Robson scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season against Marshall.

The Macleans College transfer from New Zealand also leads the team in assists with four.

Junior forward Cameron Cooskey has also been an effective weapon for the Knights. Against Marshall, he scored the game-winning goal, ending a five-game scoring drought. Despite the drought, Cooskey is second on the team with three goals and has also recorded an assist.

SMU leads the all-time series against UCF 3-0-2. Last season, the teams tied 3-3 on Oct. 31.
