Arrest affidavit reveals details of alleged sexual assault JULIE FANCHER Staff Writer jfancher@smu.edu

Quarterback Garrett Gilbert threw five interceptions against TCU on Saturday.

Horned Frogs defeat the Mustangs Lackluster offensive effort costs SMU BILLY EMBODY Staff Writer wembody@smu.edu SMU’s offense couldn’t capitalize on great defensive play by the Mustangs, who allowed just 156 total yards from TCU’s potent offense, and lost the Battle for the Iron Skillet 24-16.

The offense turned the ball over six times and could not get anything going against TCU. “You have to play all phases of the game and we did not do that tonight,” SMU Head Coach June Jones said.. “We had opportunities, as ugly as the game was, we had opportunities to win the game but obviously, we didn’t make the plays to do that.”

SMU quarterback continued

to struggle and threw five interceptions including a first quarter interception that set up a TCU score to make it 7-0.

Even in the pouring rain, SMU could not get senior running back Zach Line going after a successful rushing attack in last year’s SMUTCU battle in Fort Worth.

“This week we worked on the run,” TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson said. “He’s hurt us badly the last two seasons. We were not going to let Zach Line hurt us tonight.”

Line rushed for a season low 49 yards and although he had a touchdown, SMU failed to score from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter after Line was stuffed on first down.

SMU then threw three straight

incomplete passes even with Line in the backfield.

SMU threw the ball 40 times with little success and TCU was able to capitalize on big plays to score. TCU was given prime field position numerous times and TCU quarterback Casey Pachall operated the TCU offense efficiently when given those opportunities.

TCU was held to their lowest offensive total since 2006 and the SMU defense was led by senior linebacker Taylor Reed who had 14 tackles and one sack.

“Defensively, I was definitely happy about the performance,” Reed, who led the Mustangs with 14 tackles and a sack, said.

“We know are offense can do it. We just went out there for

four quarters against a talented team. We just knew we had to get the ball back in the offense’s hands.”

SMU’s special teams gave up two big plays to give TCU a short field. Skye Dawson had a 64-yard punt return, which led to a 4-yard Matthew Tuckey touchdown run to make it 24-7 before halftime.

TCU turned the ball over a few times and gave SMU plenty of opportunities to keep the Iron Skillet in Dallas, but the trophy heads back to TCU after a tough battle in the rain.

SMU opens conference play next Saturday at UTEP, which gives the Mustangs a new season and life in hopes of winning Conference USA after a tough start to the season at 1-3.

ACADEMICS

SMU sophomore John David “J.D.” Mahaffey allegedly forced a fellow male student to perform oral sex on him despite the victim’s repeated cries of “no” and “stop,” according to an arrest affidavit released Friday by the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.

According to the affidavit, Mahaffey concluded the alleged Sept. 23 assault, by telling the victim, “You better not tell a soul.”

The victim reported the incident to SMU police the next day, according to the affidavit.

The victim agreed to have SMU police tape-record a phone call the next day he would make to Mahaffey. During the call, the victim reportedly asked Mahaffey, “You know, I did not want to do that?”

Mahaffey responded, “I know you didn’t, but we have to say it was consensual or lawyers, parents and the school will be involved,” according to the affidavit.

Mahaffey, a 19 year old sophomore, was arrested Tuesday by SMU police at his on-campus residence in connection with the Sept. 23 incident that reportedly took place at approximately 3 a.m.

Mahaffey was subsequently booked into Dallas County Jail on second-degree felony sexual assault charges and released Wednesday on a $25,000 bond.

The student reported to SMU police he was first assaulted just

west of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house at 3050 SMU Blvd., and again in the Airline parking garage.

Since his arrest, Mahaffey — a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, member of Student Senate and a Hunt Scholar — has been banned from campus until the case is resolved, and has been suspended by Sigma Phi Epsilon while the case is investigated.

Dallas County District Attorney Director of Communications Debbie Denmon said the case will be handed over to the grand jury.

No date has been set for a grand jury hearing, Denmon said.

In the wake of news of Mahaffey’s arrest and the indictment of SMU Donald Samuel Cuba on Sept. 4, SMU President Gerald R. Turner delivered a message via email to the SMU community Friday night asking students, faculty and staff to “reacquaint themselves with the options and procedures for reporting sexual misconduct” as written in the Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook and other resources.

Turner went on to state — “in view of recent questions about how universities, including SMU, address sexual misconduct — he will point a President’s Task Force on sexual Misconduct of Policies and Procedures.

The task force, Turner wrote, will be chaired by Lori White, chair of the vice president of student affairs, and Kelly Compton, SMU alumna, trustee and chair of the Board’s Student Affairs Committee.

Top 5 mistakes students make at the gym RACHEL HUBERS Contributing Writer rhubers@smu.edu Many of us think that just because we go to the gym often, we know what we’re doing.

But common mistakes befall many people during their workouts.

Are you one of them?

Dedman’s very own personal trainer, Alex Vasile, shares the top five things she sees students doing wrong at the gym and how they can improve their routines.

1. Skipping the warm up and the cool down.

Many students skip the warm up and the cool down for the sake of time and convenience.

By doing this Vasile said “they are greatly increasing their risk of injury.”

If muscles are not warm and pliable, they are much more likely to painfully tear or pull upon exertion.

Want a quick fix?

Ease yourself in and out of your workout with easy cardio and stretching.

2. Exclusively cardio or strength training.

By neglecting either facet of exercise, students are not meeting the five fitness components — strength, flexibility, endurance, cardiovascular and body

composition — that represent how fit the body is as a whole.

Cardio activities such as running, biking and swimming contribute to the cardiovascular component by improving heart health and cardiovascular endurance necessary for prolonged periods of exercise.

Strength training such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises contributes to the strength and endurance components.

“Strength refers to hypertrophy (muscle growth) and endurance refers to being able to lift light weights many times,” Vasile said.

Strength training with a

consistent, low weight with a high number of repetitions develops endurance while lifting increasingly heavier weights causes an increase in the size of myofibrils or muscle fibers and growth in the muscles. Enlarged muscles create definition.

advice,” she recommended.

“For example, workout technique displayed in Jane Fonda’s dated workout tapes might not be correct today.

Research and ask questions to find current, proper weight lifting technique.”

5. Jerky movements while lifting weights.

“Many people wrongly use momentum as opposed to strength and actually lifting the weight because their weight selection is inappropriate for them,” Vasile said.

“Lower weight and proper form is preferable to heavier weight and incorrect form.”

Don’t be afraid to start small and work your way up.

Lifting weights that are too heavy for you force you to compensate with jerky movements that are ineffective and often leads to injury.

Be mindful of these common problems to maximize your workout and stay safe, effective and looking good at the gym. *Personal trainer Alex Vasile is AFAA Primary Group Exercise and Personal Fitness Trainer certified.

include both cardio and weight training.

3. Holding onto cardio equipment too tightly and putting too much weight onto handles.

Although railings and handles are there for stability, students are using them as a way to compensate for going too fast or at too great of an incline.

Grabbing the handles takes some of the work away from the lower body.

“Let go! Slow down the pace or lower the incline if need be,” Vasile said.

By lightening up your grip on the handles, you direct the exertion to the lower body, experience the full burn in that area, and find an appropriate pace and incline.

4. Relying on old fashioned, often improper, weight lifting technique.

Vasile often notices the use of improper, dated weight lifting technique that could lead to injury.

“Go by current reliable sources such as nationally recognized organizations that work on providing proper exercise technique (ACSM, ACE, NASM, NSCA), instead of listening to Youtube, fitness magazines or peers that could offer dated

Civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. were members of Alpha Phi Alpha, which was founded in 1906.

Alpha Phi Alpha plans return to campus African American fraternity searching for new members Editor’s Note: This is a re-print of an article from the Friday, Sept. 28th issue of The Daily Campus. Due to changes made in the editing process, some key elements were changed from the original version which appears here.

Many students feel that campus life at SMU is sometimes controlled by Greek life. Indeed, finding a fraternity on campus is not difficult. According to U.S. News, nearly 32 percent of undergraduate men and 43 percent of undergraduate women are Greek at SMU. The challenge for most is finding the right Greek organization.

SMU graduate student Jermaine Mulley researched and read about Alpha Phi Alpha before deciding it was the right brotherhood for him. Formed in 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha was the first African-American fraternity in the nation. Civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, and W. E. B. Dubois were all Alphas.

“I went on the national website

discreetly and found out what Alpha Phi Alpha was doing,” Mulley said. “This organization is more grand than any of us could describe. I’m just climbing, trying to make it so that I’m in the same light as the men who have done so much for the nation and the world.”

The international fraternity hopes to return to campus within the next year. Ashley Meredith, SMU coordinator of fraternity and sorority life, said the brotherhood is now recognized on campus as a member of the National PanHellenic Council. All it has left to do is find interested students.

“We’re really excited to have Alpha Phi Alpha on campus,” Meredith said. “NPHC is about making sure everyone supports one another. Alpha Phi Alpha is a contributing member, not only to the NPHC, but to the Greek community and the SMU community as a whole.”

Alpha Phi Alpha was removed from campus in 2005 after a 2003 off-campus hazing incident left SMU junior Brandon Curry in a coma after drinking excessive amounts of water and hot sauce.

He and another pledge were told if they stopped drinking, they

would be hit with a paddle. Curry eventually recovered from the coma and completed his degree.

Alpha is not the first fraternal organization to be kicked off campus and return after breaking the rules. Kappa Alpha Order returned to campus in fall 2010 after the chapter was closed in 2009 for violating probation.

According to the SMU Fraternity and Sorority Life’s webpage.

Phi Delta Theta is currently under deferred suspension and Sigma Alpha Epsilon is on disciplinary probation.

Like SMU, Alpha has its own anti-hazing policies. Vice President of the Southwestern Region Roderick Smothers told potential pledges to report to him if they felt they were being hazed at an informational meeting in August.

“The way I look at it is, I take his letters for yours,” Smothers said.

Four “aspirants” attended the session. They were called “aspirants” by members who were reluctant, not only to speak about the history of hazing incidences, but to refer to potential members as “pledges.”

Collete Parker, a Residence

Life and Student Housing administrative assistant and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, remembers what Alpha was like when she was an undergraduate student at SMU. Parker hopes that Upsilon Mu, the new Alpha campus chapter, will live up to the standards set by the organization’s historic past.

“It’s important to know the history of the organization as a whole, and make sure that if you do bring the fraternity back to campus, that you honor that history. Make the pillars a part of what you do every day, and if you make that a part of your focus, you’ll be successful,” she said.

Graduate student and Alpha Phi Alpha member Lewis Keys shared Parker’s sentiment. He hopes Upsilon Mu Chapter is prepared for the long road ahead.

“I want them to understand the magnitude of the task they have ahead of them,” Keys said. “Now you have to work to keep people from rubbing the past in your face. We’re not about the foolery that was done years ago. We’re about business.”

PLATFORM: New group pushes environmental causes health groups, the SSC will push the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) of Texas to fully implement a law passed in 2005 which mandates the use of renewable energy sources within the state.

Since the law was passed, Texas has become the national leader of wind energy manufacturing, but it has failed to implement other non-wind energy sources, such as geothermal and solar technologies, required by the law.

“In 2005, the law was passed, but not implemented,” SSC Campus Organizer Katie Siegner said. “This is about accountability.

We need to present a united front [to the PUC].”

Ten percent of Texas’ electricity is provided by wind energy. By diversifying its clean energy supplies and implementing solar and geothermal sources, Texas could become a national leader in the use of clean energy, according to Siegner.

“I think that encouraging our Texas representatives to go through with these implementations is an easy but crucial stepping stone to making alternative energies more of a productive, practical and publicly accepted source of power,” SMU

junior and SSC volunteer Leslie Hurley said.

SSC chose to set up camp at SMU because of the universities top research facilities for geothermal energy and commitment to sustainability. The group has already linked up with a number of professors and other environmental groups around campus.

Siegner contacted Keya Devani, president of SMU’s Environmental Society, at the beginning of the semester.

“As a fellow environmentalist, it’s good to support others who try to attain similar goals as you,” Devani said. “Changing the way Texas views renewable energy is one of them.”

The SSC has already collected over 600 “petitions”, or cards of interest, from SMU students since the onset of classes.

Word about the new group has made its way quickly around campus, as Siegner and other SSC volunteers have hit the ground running.

Most recently, the SSC hit the boulevard during family weekend to spread the word to students, parents and alumni. SSC volunteers chatted up tailgaters during the family

barbeque and even snapped photos with a few Mustang fans sporting posters with slogans promoting clean energy.

“Our whole purpose is to get out there and try to get other people to see why [the clean

energy campaign] is such a great idea,” SMU freshman and SSC volunteer Story Zanetti said.

“It’s all about connecting and joining together, and I think we could all use a little more of that.”

the fall of 2009. Lauren Rodgers, an administrative specialist in the Taos office, was one of eleven students enrolled in the pilot session. Rodgers was going into her sophomore year at SMU when she decided to go to Taos.

“For someone like me, who I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to commit to, it gave me a really good time to take classes that I might never have taken,” she said.

Taos calls itself a “classroom without walls” in many of its advertisements, and it’s unique block schedule not only gives professors room to take students on field trips, but also allows student to do some exploring of their own.

The block schedule is divided into four parts, and each block is roughly three weeks long. During each block the students pick one class they want to take and attend that class every day.

According to Anna Aston, the Director of Operations and Finance, this creates a “living and learning environment.”

Offering Wellness, cultural formation courses, and even independent studies the classes are filtered so that Taos meet the needs of the students going to Taos. The program even helps students obtain a business minor for the fall term, something SMU only offers in the summer.

“They can almost knock out an entire minor in our fall term.”

Aston said.

However, it’s not all work in Taos. In between the blocks students are given three to four days as breaks. On these breaks students are allowed to plan their own trips, or go on trips sponsored

by SMU-in-Taos.

Trips can range from boarding across sand dunes in the desert to backpacking to the Grand Canyon.

Two of the three trips are a result of Taos planning, and the students voting. But the third trip is planned completely by the students.

“They keep joking about going to Disneyland,” said Rodgers.

Thursdays also serve as a sort of break for students. Mike Adler, professor and director of the campus, teaches the Thursday course which is considered an

anthropology class. During this class, students are “participating in the creation of their own education,” Adler said.

Adler helps students team up with local nonprofits, and gets them involved in the community.

Currently students are doing everything from working at a horse sanctuary where they help take care of horses that are used for therapy rides to picking apples at a local organic farm.

But it’s not just working within the Taos community that affects students. The community created between students and faculty on the SMU-in-Taos campus is very strong. Craven, who is also an RA at the campus, said the community in Taos is “totally different than any other dorm life you’ve experienced. Even the kind at SMU in Dallas — the community is almost family like.”

Many students may have the first reaction as Rodgers. What’s the catch? Financially Taos has made efforts to help students, and through donations was able to give each student in the current fall term $2,000 in aid. Tuition, room and board are the same as at the main campus and Taos helps students by choosing the cheapest meal and housing plan.

As for the students who are considering studying abroad, fear not. “It’s not like you have to pick and choose, you can do both.” Rodgers, who went to both Taos and studied abroad in the Dominican Republic, said. Taos has also had a lot of students involved in the Greek system and other organizations spend time at their campus without it effecting their involvement in those groups.

Tucked between mountains and a quiet brook, Taos is an opportunity that isn’t offered by any other university.

It is a place where students have the chance to get their hands dirty.

With no extra costs and the only loss being the rush of the city Mike Adler believes Taos is something students should seriously consider.

He encourages students with two words, “Be courageous.”

What does Fox News’ mistake say about media?

Michael Graves Contributor tthrall@smu.edu Fox News really screwed up this week. And no, this isn’t a liberal rant.

On Friday, Fox accidentally showed a man take his life after an almost two hour high-speed chase in Arizona.

Shepard Smith, the anchor who was commenting on the chase, profusely apologized saying, “We really messed up, and we’re all really sorry.”

He continued to say, “That didn’t belong on TV… and I personally apologize to you that it happened… it is just wrong.”

I was watching the chase with my grandparents in their hotel room shortly after they arrived into Dallas for Family Weekend, and they were a bit disturbed. However, the scene didn’t affect the mood for our day.

I began to wonder, why

are we so sensitive to seeing these things on television? We read about them in the news all the time. Many of us have experienced the grief that follows a friend who commits suicide. People kill themselves.

This is not breaking news.

In Europe, the news channels and papers show much more gruesome images of war, death and an individual’s physical struggle than news channels in the United States. Does this make the European people heartless?

No, I argue, it makes us sheltered.

It disturbs me that Fox has to issue such an intense apology for showing a real life situation, especially when every news source has no problem exploiting the details of a tragedy.

When we only read about a gruesome or tragic event, we still receive the message that a video or photo would portray.

However, the difference seems

to be that the picture of the event makes it more real to us.

I suppose we feel like if we just read about it, then an event doesn’t have to be real, it can just be words on a page. But maybe we need it to be real.

Since we’re incredibly sheltered from seeing these arguably sickening images, I think we’re a bit soft. I also think just reading about an event doesn’t give us the ability to sympathize or be motivated to act.

Perhaps if we saw images from the war in Iraq we would be more inspired to somehow end it (most preferably peacefully).

Maybe if we saw what people look like after being a victim of a hate crime, we would speak out against them more so than we do now.

Text rarely moves us like pictures and video. As forward as this may be, I think we’re sheltering ourselves from the

prospect of taking action and changing the world around us.

I really didn’t care about the temporarily displaced until I met many of them on the streets in Los Angeles, Houston, New York and Nashville, Tenn. I would have never donated time to Empower African Children had I not seen the immense pictures of joy in children’s faces because they were receiving an education that could empower them to change their own communities.

I know it would be hard, but we often need to see these images to care, and we need to care. We all have the power to make a difference through advocacy of any kind, and it is our responsibility as worldly people to make these changes.

Those changes occur through action, but begin with seeing and understanding.

Students have no excuse not to vote Rick Larson Contributor

The most important presidential election in 80 years is coming up and my research shows a dearth of college students will be going to the polls, although their futures depend on the outcome.

Four years ago, the young people of this country were enthralled with our current president, attending rallies and anointing him as “the next JFK.” Now they are disenchanted and have discovered that their future right now isn’t so rosy.

Graduating and living with your parents isn’t really all that it’s cracked up to be and student loans are hard to pay on when you don’t have a decent job, or a job at all.

From what I’ve learned in my conversations with SMU students at the Barley House, there will be more kids going through Greek recruitment than there will be at the polls in less than six weeks.

That’s shameful, given men and women, far greater and more courageous than you and I, have sacrificed their time, their families and even their lives so that we could enjoy the most basic of American freedoms — the freedom of choice.

To tell the truth, I am not overjoyed with the presidential options, either. I’d always thought of myself as “middle class” until one of the candidates defined that as “making $250,000 a year.”

Now, I’m just low-end and depressed. The current president has been somewhat restrained in his first four years, making sure he doesn’t do anything in order to jeopardize his winning a second term.

It’s in the second term that a president really turns up the heat to implement policies. A lot of people fear President Barack Obama’s policies, but aren’t clear on just what Mitt Romney and the Republicans have in mind for fixing this great nation. All I’ve really seen are the two candidates spending a lot of time throwing barbs at one another but not really outlining a plan.

If you don’t vote for someone in this election, then don’t you dare complain about your problems if the new administration doesn’t work for you. If you don’t vote, don’t make eyes with the service men or women who put themselves in harm’s way in order to provide the very blanket of freedom that you sleep under each night.

If you don’t vote, don’t look up at the flagpole whenever you pass it. The symbol of this still-great nation doesn’t apply to you if you aren’t willing to do the one basic thing that stands for and you aren’t willing to perpetuate the process.

Of course, you have the right not to vote, too. Exercise that right and see the impending malaise. Apathy never got anyone anything.

If you think your one vote “won’t make any difference,” think again. For a rare time in history, the outcome of a future so important will be determined by just a handful of votes. Abstain, and you can make a difference, too.

There are 564 people who control your destiny in this country, every day. However, there is but one day, in November, every four years, when you, as a single voice, can override those 564 lawmakers and so-called “leaders” in an attempt to better your future. Get out of bed on that day and VOTE, dammit.

The Dallas Arts District is welcoming fall with its special lineup “Arts in October.” The month long celebration features a series of new events, performances and exhibitions at the many museums, centers and theatres within the District.

A new venue opening, Klyde Warren Park, tops the season’s must-sees.

Construction of the 5.2-acre park over Woodall Rodgers Freeway began back in 2009. Three years later, managers of the site, the City of Dallas and Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation are promoting the green space as a bridge between the Arts District, Uptown and Downtown.

“Connectivity is central to Klyde Warren Park’s purpose,” the web site wrote. “The Park will promote increased pedestrian, trolley and bicycle use between Uptown, Downtown and the Arts District, contributing to a more walkable city center.”

The Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, Meyerson Symphony Center and AT&T Performing Arts Center are all within walking distance of

the park site. Embracing the area’s artistic culture, the park’s grand opening weekend, Oct. 27 to Oct. 28, will feature a symphonic concert from local pop rock band The Polyphonic Spree.

“This is an event I am quite excited about,” Founder and Lead Member of Polyphonic Spree Tim DeLaughter said in a September press release. “This project is definitely one for the books for me.”

Trombone Shorty, a Grammynominated trombonist and trumpeter, also headlines opening weekend. Shorty and his troupe, Orleans Avenue, hail from New Orleans, but have toured across the country. Klyde Park’s Grand Opening Weekend will be the group’s last stop in Dallas for 2012. DJ Lucy Wrubel, voted to D Magazine’s Top Ten Dallas DJ list, will also lend the event some tunes in between sets.

The concert takes place Saturday, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. on Klyde Park’s Great Lawn. The Great Lawn boasts a 3,000-person capacity limit, but the park plans to attract a great deal more on opening weekend. The Park will be awarding nearly 6,000 complimentary general admission tickets to the public starting Oct. 9.

For more information on Klyde Park, visit theparkdallas.org.

DON’T FORGET The Brown Bag Dance Series is one of Meadows’ most popular events. With student choreographed numbers and solos, the Meadows mainstay lifts lunchtime to a whole new level. The dances start at noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.

Women’s swimming looks to start 20122013 season strong DEMETRIO TENIENTE Staff Writer dteniente@smu.edu

Associated Press

Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray (29) dives for touchdown while teammate Kevin Ogletree (85) defends against the Tampa Bay Buccanners during the first half of an NFL football game on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Cowboys prepare to battle Chicago Bears in Monday night match-up ALEX LOKKEN Staff Writer alokken@smu.edu The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to battle the Chicago Bears at Cowboys’ Stadium in a Monday night match-up between long time conference foes.

Both teams enter into the fourth week of season with 2-1 records and are coming off wins.

Despite sitting atop their respective divisions with winning records, the Cowboys and Bears have a lot to prove in their matchup after inconsistent play so far this season.

After the team’s impressive week one victory over the defending super bowl champion Giants, Dallas suffered an embarrassing loss in Seattle.

Last week’s under whelming win over the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers did little to silence the critics of the Cowboys offense and Tony Romo.

The Bears have shared a similar theme with Dallas so far this season. After crushing the Colts in week one, the Bears suffered an ugly loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in week two.

The Bears’ week three win over the Rams will carry less weight than the result of the team’s game Monday night.

For Chicago and Dallas, issues moving the ball down the field have mostly stemmed from their struggling offensive lines this season.

With elite pass rushers on both sides — the Cowboys’ DeMarcus Ware and the Bears’ Julius Peppers —offensive lines will be put to the

test Monday night.

Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler has already been sacked 14 times this season and his passing statistics have been non-impressive.

After reuniting Brandon Marshall with Cutler with the team’s biggest signing of the offseason, the Bears’ passing attack has struggled, ranking 28th in the league so far.

While Romo’s struggles have been less apparent than Cutler’s, the Cowboys’ poor offensive line play has been detrimental for Demarco Murray and the team’s rushing attack.

The ‘Boys’ are 28th in the NFL in rushing as they enter into the game Monday.

Despite their struggles with their offensive line, the Cowboys’ secondary has been a bright spot for the team so far this season.

Ranking second in the league and allowing only 137 yards a game, Brandon Carr and the Cowboys’ new look secondary has made a huge turnaround since last season.

Carr may also have to fill in for safety, Barry Church, whose season ended abruptly after suffering a ruptured Achilles’s tendon in the game against Tampa Bay. Facing the league’s second rated pass defense, the Bears would like to depend on its star running back Matt Forte to carry much of the load.

Forte, a fifth-year player, is listed as questionable for Monday. He will likely be a gametime decision.

Kickoff between the two legendary NFC teams is at 7:30 p.m. Central.

Monday October 1, 2012

The SMU women’s swimming team will start their 2012-2013 schedule with the Red and Blue Intra Squad Meet on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Perkins Natatorium.

The Mustangs had a huge summer with two current swimmers competing in the London Olympic Games and one former swimmer being named the Conference USA (C-USA) Scholar Athlete of the year.

Denisa Smolenova was awarded the C-USA award after graduating in May with a 3.768 GPA. She was also a threetime recipient of the C-USA Commissioner’s medal.

Nina Rangelova, who is heading into her junior year at SMU, made her second Olympic appearance for Bulgaria. She competed in the 100, 200 and 400 meter free style events.

Rangelova was joined in London by Coach Steve Collins, who was a member of the Bulgarian coaching staff.

First year Danielle Villars was also in London, representing Switzerland in the 100 meter butterfly and the 200 meter freestyle competitions.

Neither swimmer advanced past the preliminary heats, but the experience they gained will inevitably help the team in the upcoming season.

Having two swimmers who have been exposed to the atmosphere and the level of competition in London, is a big addition to a team that is looking to improve on their 16th place finish in last year’s NCAA Championship.

TAYLOR HENRY/The Daily Campus

SMU’s women’s swimming and diving team competes in the 2011 Classic.

However, in the championship SMU did impress, compiling 19 All-American Honors.

Ten of those titles belong to current SMU swimmers: Isabella Arcila (200-yard freestyle relay, 400-yard freestyle relay), Monika Babok (200-yard freestyle relay, 400-yard freestyle relay), Erica Dnadon (400-yard medley relay), Rachel Nicol (200-yard medley relay) and Nina Rangelova (200yard freestyle, 200-yard freestyle relay, 400-yard freestyle relay, 400yard medley relay).

SMU will undoubtedly be led by Rangelova who holds Bulgarian National records in the 50 meter butterfly (27.97), 50 meter freestyle (25.06), 100 meter butterfly (1:00.50), 200 meter individual medley (2:15.60), 200 meter freestyle ( 1:56.11), 100 meter freestyle ( 55.54) and 400 meter freestyle (4:12.21).

After the Red and Blue Meet, the Mustangs will head to Arkansas for the Razorback Relays on Oct. 6, before returning home for the SMU classic (Oct. 19 to Oct. 20), and meets with Texas A&M (Oct.26) and Rice (Nov. 3).
