Travel alert issued A travel alert was issued on Sunday by the State Department to U.S. citizens traveling in Europe.

The advisory states that citizens should take “commonsense precautions” when traveling and “adopt appropriate safety measures.”

A close eye is on Europe as concerns of a planned attack similar to the 2008 massacre in Mumbai have arisen. On Friday night, U.S. troops in Germany even took precautions. They were not allowed out after a certain time and were not allowed to wear their uniforms off base.

Sixty arrested across country in major cyber-theft ring On Friday the FBI announced that more than 60 people involved in a major international cyber-theft ring are now in custody.

Those involved come from the United States, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

The operation targeted small to medium businesses and institutions, and an estimated $70 million was stolen from the U.S. Thus far, there have been 390 confirmed victim businesses, institutions and individuals in the United States. Thirty-nine U.S. citizens were among the 60 people arrested. The FBI was made aware of the cyber-theft ring in May of 2009.

CRIME

SMU football player arrested

By JESSICA HUSEMAN Editor-in-Chief jhuseman@smu.edu

SMU linebacker Brandon Henderson was arrested in Dallas Thursday on charges of sexual assault of a child that took place April 30, 2009.

He will be transferred to Taylor County where the alleged crime took place.

Henderson, a 20-year-old sophomore, has played for the SMU football team since his freshman year and played twelve games

as a true freshman.

It is not clear if he will be suspended from the team for these allegations.

Henderson is currently being held in the Dallas County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Brad Sutton, SMU’s associate athletics director for public relations and marketing, would not comment.

“SMU does not comment on student conduct matters because of federal student privacy laws and university policy,” he said.

A court document obtained by The Daily Campus said that

Henderson is facing two counts of sexual assault of a child—the first for intercourse and the second for penetration with a finger.

The document mentions that the alleged victim was “under the age of 17” but does not specify her age.

The court document is also unclear as to whether the two were in a relationship at the time, which would have been when Henderson was a senior at Abilene’s Cooper High School.

The Dallas County Sheriff ’s office that made the arrest could not be reached for comment.

Mustangs defeat Owls, 42-31

By EJ HOLLAND

Associate Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

The Mustangs snapped a 10-game road losing streak to Rice with a 4231 victory over the Owls on Saturday evening.

“It wasn’t a comfortable win,” SMU head Coach June Jones said.

“The score looks that way but it seems like you’re holding onto your rear end until the end every time.”

SMU (3-2, 2-0) picked up their largest road win since 1999 while the Owls (1-4, 0-1) failed to earn their first conference win.

Mustang defensive back Sterling Moore recorded his second interception of the season and returned the ball 32 yards for a touchdown, giving SMU an early 7-0 lead.

The Mustangs dominated the rest of the first quarter and put on a 15play, 80-yard drive that lasted over seven minutes and extended into the second quarter.

However, SMU failed to score on the drive as kicker Marcelo Sada missed wide left on a 32-yard field goal attempt.

Rice kicker Chris Boswell responded by booting in a 42-yard field goal midway through the first

quarter making the score 7-3.

Just before halftime, SMU quarterback Kyle Padron threw a 51yard bomb to wide receiver Aldrick Robinson, which moved the Mustangs just inside the Owls’ 30 yard line.

Two plays later, Padron connected with Robinson yet again, this time on a 23-yard scoring strike to put SMU up 14-3 heading into intermission.

After a lackluster first half, the fireworks finally exploded in the second half.

The Owls were forced to punt on their first possession of the third quarter, but the Rice coverage unit came up strong.

SMU returner Darius Johnson fielded the punt at the 5 yard line when Rice’s Chris Jones forced a fumble which was recovered in the end zone

by Phillip Gaines for the touchdown.

The score cut the deficit to four and put the Owls right back in the game.

“That was a bad decision by Darius [Johnson],” Jones said. “He’s a special punt returner, and I didn’t expect him to make that mistake.”

The Mustangs responded well on their next offensive possession. Padron found wide receiver Cole Beasley on a 49-yard pass completion to the Rice 6 yard line. Padron and Robinson once

A spirited debate

By JOVIN LIM

Health & Fitness Editor sylim@smu.edu

The effects of drinking alcohol are an age-long dispute. Alcohol has been a part of human history since the Neolithic Age, over 10,000 years ago, when the earliest evidence of fermented beverages were found.

The basic method of fermentation is simple: Raw ingredients (i.e. wheat, rye or oats) are cooked and left to ferment for a period of time. Yeast is added as part of the production, and the byproduct is the dizziness-inducing and potent liquid that we call alcohol.

It is the variation of these raw ingredients and processes that leads to different end-products that make up the well-stocked shelves at liquor stores.

There are several classes of alcohol, but the collegiate staples are beer, spirits and wine.

Beer is the most popular drink of choice among the college demographic.

The basic ingredients of malt liquor are malt, wheat and barley. Nearly 10 percent of wheat production is for the beer sector alone.

With a lower alcohol content, lower pricing and more variation than the other types of alcohol, beer is a collegiate main-stay.

Spirits are defined by the FDA as the end-product of distillation, which is heating of a fermented liquid and the condensation of the alcoholic vapors.

From vodka to rum and whiskey to

gin, the spirits industry is a 95-billion dollar industry. From coconut to potato, the ingredients for producing liquor are literally the stuff of history.

A country’s specific agriculture production often determines its endproduct (i.e. the potato fields of Russia which produce the much-loved vodka, and the rice of East Asia transforms into the omnipresent rice wine.)

When the word wine is mentioned, images of a vineyard are evoked, and rightly so. Wine is different in production because its fermentation is much slower. This is why wine is often said to grow better with age.

The wine industry has gained increased popularity among the younger demographics recently, having shed its label of being old and stodgy.

The primary difference between whites and reds are from the distillation process and the inclusion of grape skin in the production.

The Greeks used to say, “To drink excessively is a fool’s folly.” Alcohol has always been regarded as a cure-all, and in countries with poor drinking water conditions, it’s become a substitute. The Greeks employed wine as a governmental tool, with the senate coming together for a night of bantering, hard-ball politics and drinking. Public drunkenness wasn’t the aim of these gatherings, and the alcohol served as a social lubricant.

The ancient Chinese also believed that moderation was key to alcohol’s

enjoyment. More often than not, drunkenness had been blamed for social ills, a belief that’s continued to this day. So when your parents give you that “talk,” it’s had plenty of history behind it.

There are some health benefits to drinking. It’s been proven in scientific research that moderate amounts of alcohol can raise your good cholesterol (HDL) and thin your blood. But it’s not often the alcohol but by-products that are beneficial.

Take wine for example. Resveratrol, a component of wine, acts as an antioxidant, which helps prevent cellular damage within the body.

However, as a disclaimer, this amount is sufficient in one serving of alcohol to keep your arteries clear.

Adults who indulge in moderate amounts also report lower incidences of dementia. But this could be due to drinking’s is correlation with social activities, as social interaction with other people that keeps the mind active.

But it is very important to note that only in moderation would there be benefits. Alcohol is largely empty calories and serves no real bodily function. Furthermore, it promotes liver disease and unnecessary weight gain. So the next time you pick up a glass to drink, enjoy it well and know your limits.

The hype about yoga

By JOVIN LIM

Health & Fitness Editor sylim@smu.edu

Dog. Cobra. Tortoise. Crow? No, I’m not listing a menu in Shanghai, but instead, the various poses that are commonly used in yoga. Yoga, in Sanskrit, means a union with the Supreme Spirit. In Hinduism, this union can only be obtained through ascetic practice, meditation and mental concentration.

Interestingly, there is no clear origin of yoga, but instead, an evolution of a religious practice that has become the list of moves we have today. In Indian philosophy, yoga is actually the name of one of the six orthodox philosophical schools. Patanjali is acknowledged as the founder of the formal yoga philosophy, which consists of the Eight-Limbed Yoga: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi If you’re a follower of yoga, some of these terms should appear familiar, having been integrated into yoga jargon. There are also various schools of yoga, though all have the similar foundation of the Eight-Limbed Yoga.

So what are the benefits of yoga?

The physical benefits of yoga are that the intensive stretching provides increased flexibility to the user, especially joints that are not normally exercised on a daily basis. Another benefit of yoga (though I’m not sure how

true this is) is that it’s said to truly massage all organs of the body. This stimulation and massage of the organs should ideally prevent us from any impending disorders and provide a barrier against sickness.

In terms of muscular structure, yoga also tones the muscles in targeted body parts. With increased flexibility and strength comes better posture, and since it’s really focusing your core strength to support and maintain each pose, you’ll naturally start to sit and stand straighter.

The mental benefits are endless. Users often report a 20 percent decrease in perceived stress after their first class, and say that they just better. Yoga instructors attribute this to the deep breathing technique that’s employed, as the user becomes so focused on his inhalation and exhalation that the mind is cleared of troubled thoughts.

Another neat fact is that yoga classes often report one of the higher participation of couples, as this lower level of stress contributes to a more romantic atmosphere.

The caloric usage in yoga varies greatly, due to the styles of the exercise itself. Hatha Yoga, the most common form of yoga that focuses on poses, burns an average of 175 calories an hour. On the other extreme, there are Bikram and hot yoga, which take place in a room heated to 105 degrees. In these classes you should expect to burn up to 630 calories an hour (equivalent to jogging for an hour).

Exercises for you and a Swiss ball The Swiss ball is the quintessential work-out partner, as balance and body weight becomes the form of resistance.

Furthermore, it’s not awkwardly heavy as dumb-bells are, and it can easily be stored in the corner of any room.

The No. 5 ranked SMU men’s soccer team’s undefeated streak came to an end at the hands of the UCF Knights on Saturday night in Orlando.

“Today we didn’t play to our potential,” head Coach Tim McClements said. “We’re obviously very disappointed. We’ve been on the road a long time, and we’ve played a lot of away games. It’s something that you have to deal with. But tonight just wasn’t our best; we didn’t perform at the level that we thought we could,” he said.“Central Florida was a good team.

They played well and they played hard.

We’ve got to put this loss behind us.”

With the loss SMU drops to 9-1-0 on the season and 1-1-0 in Conference USA play.

UCF (6-2, 2-0) got on the board first when forward Nik Robson scored his seventh goal off an assist from midfielder Warren Creavalle in the 12th minute.

The Mustangs responded with a goal of their own in the 27th minute to knot up the score, 1-1. Freshman midfielder Robbie Derschang was able to find midfielder Josue Soto who scored his third goal of the season. The assist was Derschang’s first of the year.

The score remained the same for the rest of the first half, but the second half belonged to the Knights.

In the 66th minute, midfielder Spencer Scott scored the game winning goal off an assist from A.J. Nelson. Scott fired a hard, high shot that deflected off of SMU goalkeeper Craig Hill’s hand

and landed in the back of the net, giving the Knights a 2-1 win.

Scott’s goal lifted the UCF men’s soccer team to its first victory over a top-10 team in program history.

UCF committed 20 fouls on the evening and picked up six yellow cards, the most of any opponent in an SMU game.

“We said to the guys after the game that losing is bound to happen,”

McClements said. “Not many people go undefeated. It’s something we have to learn from and move on. We feel we have a lot more to offer. Starting 9-0 is great, but you’ve got to learn how to take a loss well. We can turn this into a positive.”

SMU will play their first home game after a month on Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. when the Mustangs take on Conference USA opponent South Carolina.

EDITORIAL BOARD

The Boulevard takes on a trashy disguise The beautiful, tree-lined Boulevard is one of SMU’s many known aesthetically pleasing features. SMU’s grounds are always perfectly primped and primmed. From the moment anyone enters Bishop Boulevard, they are guaranteed to be overcome by the beauty and grace of the Boulevard’s cosmetics.

President R. Gerald Turner described it best when he said, “Life is too short to be an ugly campus!” This is true.

Combine this sentiment with the unique tailgating tradition that SMU calls “Boulevarding” and you have what makes game days on campus one of the best benefits of attending or visiting SMU. SMU puts on a party and game day celebration unlike any other. From fans dressed in their Sunday’s best to alumni and food tents elaborately decorating the Boulevard, nobody does it better than the Red and the Blue.

However, during the days following the football festivities, those remaining on school grounds know to hold their noses. Empty beer cans, overflowing trashcans and litter scattered across campus cause many to say “pee-yew!”

Following the especially hyped the DFW Duel Battle for the Iron Skillet, which brought in a record Ford attendance of 35,481, SMU’s beloved Boulevard was left in ruins. The classy campus was transformed into quite a trashy one to say the least. The beautiful Boulevard was unrecognizable; even the beloved fountains were polluted with waste.

Considering the increased game day attendance, the mess is slightly understandable; however, clean-up procedures after poster-plastered games such as this one should be taken into consideration far in advance.

While the art of “Boulevarding” is filled with fun and games, the aftermath is not. The SMU vs. TCU game fell on the same weekend as Family Weekend, a time when students are able to show off their lovely four –year humble abode to their parents. However, following Friday’s event, trash remained scattered across the lawn until Monday morning.

Those who purchase lawn space ought to clean up after themselves without being told to do so. If they are spirited enough to set up a tent, that same spirit should be reflected following the game by cleaning up the mess they’ve made celebrating.

The biggest trash dump left behind after the SMU vs. TCU game seemed to be at the top of the Boulevard, where alumni and Greek organizations gathered.

In efforts to keep our campus clean, the school and students should not take the SMU scenery for granted. Whether increased efforts are made to tidy up campus by maintenance, or one of SMU’s many school organizations pitches in to help, something must be done to return our campus to its original glamorous state.

Homecoming weekend is just three weeks away, and we as Mustangs should be able to guarantee that all in attendance experience SMU at its best, both before and after the game.

Whether you attend the football game or not, it is crucial that you show your Pony Pride by picking up after yourself and others. Our elegant campus is worth showing off at all times, and it takes everyone to make to that possible.

Just a few added trash cans, recycling bins and pickup crews could be the solution to pollution. Pony Up!

Religious studies professor examines Intelligent Design academically Why are some SMU professors disappointed in last week’s Intelligent Design event, which was sponsored by a campus ministry? Why do they question the credentials of the speakers and characterize their presentations as “pseudoscientific” and even “dishonest”?

I cannot, of course, speak for my colleagues in the sciences, and readers interested in scientific issues should go to biologist John Wise’s detailed critique of errors, flawed logic and misrepresentations from the event (http://faculty.smu.edu/jwise/ big_problems_with_intelligent_design.htm). But as a scholar who studies what is sometimes called the “Religious Right,” I hope that I can clarify aspects of this controversy.

Intelligent Design (ID) has not gained much traction in the scientific community. It originated within certain religious circles and has credibility only within those same circles—mostly theologically conservative Christian groups that find aspects of evolutionary theory threatening.

Some ID proponents have degrees from prestigious institutions, an accomplishment that merits respect. However, a degree alone is not enough to gain legitimacy in the academic community.

Few ID advocates hold full-time professorial positions in pertinent fields at mainstream colleges and universities. Those who do hold such positions have often seen their institutions and immediate colleagues openly distance themselves from ID. Many ID proponents with academic positions work at religious institutions devoted to promoting particular theological views.

ID proponents have published very few articles in peer-reviewed journals. To make up for this lack, they have created their own in-house journals that they describe as “peer-reviewed.” Suffice it to say that universities do not consider a self-serving house organ as truly peer-reviewed; such venues are regarded as fake journals.

As has been observed before, in the entire history of the ID movement, all of its advocates combined

have published so few articles in legitimate scientific journals that often a single scholar at a research university like SMU has a longer list of publications.

IDers sometimes publish books—but most of these are with religious, not academic, presses.

When scientists argue that ID representatives are not genuinely doing science, they are in part observing that ID research is not rigorous, substantial or convincing enough to be published in genuine academic venues. Rejecting such research is not “censorship”; it is quality control, which is at the very heart of the academic enterprise.

Why the sensitivity over IDers’ appearance at SMU? Here, historical context is important.

Unfortunately, the Discovery Institute has a track record of using SMU’s prestige and academic reputation to bolster its own claims to legitimacy.

Consider this quote from Phillip E. Johnson, a chief ID architect: “The movement we now call the Wedge made its public debut at a conference of scientists and philosophers held at Southern Methodist University in March 1992.”

Johnson goes on to characterize that conference as “a respectable academic gathering.” This language implies that SMU sponsored an academic conference in which ID proponents participated as full-fledged scholars. In fact, the 1992 event, too, was sponsored not by any academic unit of the university but by a campus ministry—a detail conspicuously absent from Johnson’s description.

Unpacking Johnson’s reference to “the Wedge” is essential for understanding why so many scholars regard the ID movement’s representation of itself as a scientific and academic group misleading.

In 1998, the Discovery Institute drafted an internal strategic plan called the “Wedge Document.” Eventually leaked, the document described the group’s intention to be a wedge that would split the tree of the dominant scientific paradigm and “replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions.” Its goals included fostering religious renewal movements

that would “repudiate theologies influenced by materialism,” having “major Christian denomination(s) defend(s) traditional doctrine of creation”; encouraging seminaries to “repudiate naturalistic presuppositions”; and bringing about a “positive uptake in public opinion polls on issues such as sexuality, abortion and belief in God.” The document is well worth reading to understand why ID is best understood primarily as a religious and political movement rather than an academic or scientific one (http://libcom.org/library/wedgedocument-intelligent-design-exposed).

Thus, ID spokespeople often attract the ire of scholars for multiple reasons. Unable to publish their work in legitimate academic venues, they nonetheless present it as cutting-edge science. Unable to gain acceptance in the scientific community, they nonetheless claim to be gaining momentum.

They deny or obscure the fact that ID is grounded in a particular religious worldview and yet regard it as a tool to promote socially and theologically conservative Christian positions.

It is perhaps unsurprising that both the National Academy of Sciences and a federal court have identified ID as a religious belief rather than a scientific theory.

Many religious groups—Christian and other—do not regard evolutionary theory as a threat. For many people of faith, science and religion go hand in hand.

When scholars criticize ID, they are not attacking religion. They are only asking ID proponents to be transparent in their agenda, accurate about their representations of scholarship, and willing to play by the same rules of peer review and quality control that legitimate scholars and scientists around the world follow every day.

America should take languages seriously STAFF

Consult anyone who took three or four years of a language in high school and chances are they can barely remember how to count to 10. For most, learning a second language consists of being herded into a classroom and made Rebecca Quinn to memorize conjugation charts and two-minute oral presentations—don’t forget the accent marks. That has become, after all, the de facto goal of language education—get in, get out and get it over with.

The fact is that before college, language teachers generally expect too little of students. Acquisition of a second language in the classroom has become so systematized that it has lost all semblance of realworld language development. In many cases, students are not even expected to speak—just fill-in-the-blank.

Vocabulary is memorized instead of internalized, and conjugations are abstracted so absurdly that students know just enough to reproduce them for a test but not during a conversation. Students fail to recognize patterns between one language and the

next; that syntax can be symphonic and a joy to recreate.

But why do we fail to take this seriously? In a nation so expansive and geographically isolated, it is hard for most of us to imagine needing to communicate in another tongue. And even when we do manage to travel outside our borders, we are met with more English. Yes, it is convenient that English has become the international language of business and travel; i.e. the Italian woman asking the French man for directions to the Parisian train station in English. But that does not mean speakers of English have nothing practical to gain by such study.

As a student of a second and third language, I can attest that studying French and Spanish has improved my English and providing me better understanding of grammatical structure and a wider vocabulary. Like studying calculus or philosophy, acquiring a second tongue established an entirely new architecture for the logical side of my brain. I learned to process data in new ways. I learned to read for meaning and content and to think critically.

Combine that with newfound cultural understanding and a broadened world view and it seems that we

would all be wise to pick up a new language.

Sadly, Americans have poor second language skills because learning a second language is not culturally valued. We were not born bad at remembering a language; we were placed in a system that did not expect us to be capable of it.

Because if the pimply teenager at the movie ticket counter in Prague can sell you a ticket in English or the seven-year-old child in Fez can convince you to tour a tannery in Arabic, French, English, Spanish and German, it is clear that there are functional ways to teach everyone to be functionally competent in a second language.

The key is using what we learn rather than digesting it and vomiting it back up come the day of the test. We must wake up and speak. Teachers must stop coddling students, and students must demand more of themselves. If America is to a cultural influence—if we are to regain the respect of our international peers—we must prove that we too bother to speak somebody else’s language.

BRIEF

News from around the world Asia-Pacific

Former prime minister of Fiji arrested: Former Prime Minister, Mahendra Chaudhry, leader of the opposition Labour party, was arrested with five other people for holding public meetings in breach of the regulations imposed last year. Mr. Chaudhry’s government was overthrown 10 years ago and since then had been one of the main opposition voices against the regime of Voreqe Bainimarama, who seized power in a 2006 coup.

Middle East Sanctions imposed on Iranian officials: President Barack Obama ordered stricter sanctions against eight senior officials for “sustained and severe violations of human rights.” The alleged abuses include the killings and beatings of antigovernment protesters after the disputed presidential election in June 2009. Any assets in the U.S. held by the eight Iranians will be frozen, and US citizens and companies will be prohibited from doing business with them. So far four major energy companies have pulled out of Iran: Royal Dutch Shell, Total, Statoil and Italy ENI.

Commonwealth games open in Delhi: Prince Charles declared the Commonwealth Games officially open at the colorful opening ceremony.

About 60,000 people filled Nehru Stadium for the opening ceremony, which featured 7,000 performers from all over India, many of them schoolchildren. With almost 7,000 athletes and support staff from 71 countries scheduled to participate, the 19th Commonwealth Games will be the largest sporting event in India’s history. About 80,000 police on duty have been reinforced by 17,000 paramilitary troops to counter the danger of an attack by extremists.

Europe U.S. issues travel alert for Americans in Europe: The government warned citizens traveling to Europe to be vigilant, fearing an al-Qaeda commando-style attack. Security sources have warned of an al-Qaeda plan to send teams of gunmen to crowded places to kill civilians. They said cities in the U.K., France and Germany were thought to be targets for the militants, in attacks analysts feared could be similar to the 2008

atrocities in Mumbai.

Latin America ‘Coup attempt’ in Ecuador: A state of emergency has been declared in Ecuador after President Rafael Correa accused the opposition and security forces of a coup attempt. Correa was taken to the hospital after being hit by tear gas at a protest. Later reports spoke of fresh violence outside as he was being treated. The protesters were angry with a new law that cuts benefits for public servants. The people who staged the rebellion have been arrested but were not told to leave the country.

Correa is also working to revise the law that sparked the unrest.

Dilma Roussef in the lead in Brazilian elections: Ms. Rousseff, candidate of the Workers’ Party, is the favoured successor to President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, who has completed two terms. With 90 percent of ballots counted, Ms. Rousseff has 46 percent of valid votes, while her main opponent, Jose Serra, has 33 percent.

US & Canada Rahm Emanuel set to run for

Chicago mayor: Emanuel, who has a reputation for brashness, is a native of Chicago and represented Illinois’ fifth district in Congress for six years. In a video on his website, ChicagoforRahm.com, he made the announcement that he was officially running. He stated: “I’m calling this the ‘Tell It Like It Is’ tour, because I want to hear from you—in blunt, Chicago terms—what you think about our city, and how the next mayor and you can make it better.” Elections will be held in Feb. 2011.

SMU SMU expansion: The Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development formally opened last Friday, Sept. 24, with a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The building is now home for the Departments of Teaching and Learning, Applied Physiology and Wellness, Education Policy and Leadership, and the Master of Liberal Studies program.

Hughes-Trigg barber, favorite of many

By ESSETE WORKNEH

here. He can cut my moustache too, and a stylist can’t do that,” said theater professor, Charley Helfert.

The shop is open from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., Tuesday through Friday.

On Saturdays, the shop opens at 6:30 a.m., but closing hours are not set in stone.

“Willy gives the earliest morning haircut in town,” Helfert said. “[It’s for] people who like to get their haircut before the sun comes up.” ”I have people that get up early. I’m an early riser anyway—I just can’t hardly wait to tear into my work,” Morris said with a chuckle.

Throughout the years, Morris has cultivated a warm family atmosphere.

“A lot of history comes through here,” Helfert said.

“People bring their kids down here, and their kids bring their kids. It’s kind of neat.”

Bays, a former offensive guard for SMU football, has been a loyal client for 35 years.

“It all started when I walked into his barber shop as a freshman in September of 1975,” he said.

Since then, Bays has maintained an enduring friendship with the SMU barber.

“He gave my three boys their first hair cut,” he said.

Morris’ clients don’t just come into Willy’s for a great haircut. They seem to thoroughly enjoy the company of the charming barber.

“He’s just a very good person,” Bays said. “He would treat [former Texas governor] Bill Clements or [former SMU president] Chancellor Tate, the same way that he would treat the everyday guy that’s just coming in to get a haircut; that’s what makes him so unique.”

Haircuts and shaves at Willy’s each cost $16; a combination of both costs $28.

Appointments at Willy’s are available for scheduling at 214-368-0921.

“He’s a great guy and a great SMU supporter, and an icon for the university—and a lot of people don’t even know he’s there,” Bays said.

LINDSAY PARAMORE/ The Daily Campus

Willy Morris, owner of Willy’s Barber Shop in the SMU Hughes-Trigg Student Center, cuts the hair of a patron on Sept. 22.

Upon entering Willy’s Barber Shop, one is immediately enveloped by the relaxed, southern atmosphere. Visuals of cowboys, Texas flags and the country landscape are proudly displayed on the walls, as an eclectic mix of country music completes the setting.

“It’s somewhat of a Spartan atmosphere, with a cowboy accent,” said long time customer Joe Bays.

After all, Willy Morris, the owner of the Java City barber shop in Hughes-Trigg Student Center, is an eminently proud Texan.

“This place is better than any other place, bar none,” Morris said, as he continued to diligently work on his client.

Morris has been cutting hair since 1973; when prompted, he predicts that he has given roughly 88,000 haircuts over the course of his career.

Despite his impressive résumé, little is known about the easy-natured man that has tailored the tresses of governors, senators and everyday Joes.

Morris grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas and served in the U.S. Army from 1956-1959.

He has been married for almost 50 years and is a father of two.

When asked why he decided on a career as a barber, he laughs, and explains that “it’s warm in the summer and cool in the winter, and you always have something to jangle in your pockets.”

His clientele varies and includes SMU students and faculty, as well as outside patrons from the Dallas area.

The business is completely independent from SMU, and sittings are usually by appointment. However, walk-ins are accepted if there is free space.

Chemistry Professor Ed Biehl says he comes to Willy’s because “he’s good, he’s informative, [and] always has a conversation going on this place is better than any other place bar none.”

“He makes me 10 years younger every time I come in

TRAIL: Former rail road still favorite, continues growth toward West End There is a marker line in the cement every quarter mile to help trail-goers keep track of their mileage.

A small sign is placed at each marker with an exact location and an emergency number to improve safety measures on the trail.

SMU senior Chris Hamilton runs on the trail at least two times a week.

One of his favorite parts of working out on the Katy Trail is the path on which it takes him.

“It ends at the American Airlines Center, and I think that’s really cool. Here I am [in] downtown, and I was just working out,” Hamilton said.

Some of the money raised will also go toward completing the bike and pedestrian path that will link the Mockingbird DART station to the West End in downtown.

It will consist of a concrete bike trail and a parallel, soft-surface running path, with several entrances and plazas linking the Katy Trail to other North Dallas parks.

“It’s cool to explore an area that used to be considered an eye-sore to the community; to have the old Union Pacific Railroad donate the tracks,” Wood said. “Then the Friends of Katy Trail stepp[ed] in to help develop it into a beautiful trail with wide lanes, plaza entrances, benches with beautiful landscaping and water

fountains for humans and pets.”

“There is history with the trail,” he said.

SMU students enjoy the trail in a variety of ways. Some walk or jog with friends, others rollerblade or cycle and some even use it to train for marathons or other competitive events.

Amy Crowe, a junior at SMU, first used the Katy Trail as a freshman when she was a member of the university rowing team to run as part of the team’s training regimen.

This year, she takes time to rollerblade on the trail at least once a week.

“I like to go there to clear my head,” Crowe said. “I like how it’s an escape from the city.

You’re out of the city, but still part of it.”

For serious runners, the trail proves to be useful in other ways.

Two years ago, Hamilton ran the White Rock Half Marathon, in which the last three miles of the race were on the Katy Trail where he had been training.

“I felt like I was at home,” Hamilton said. “It helped me finish the race.”

The trail is conveniently located near SMU for the entire community to enjoy and make use of.

DANCE: Freshmen take lead CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

student-run showcase of dance choreography.

Students create the pieces, decide on costumes and select the dancers for their pieces.

According to Daniel Buraczeski, the artistic director for this year’s Brown Bag, Nowlin and Leopold made the judging panel feel confident that they could manage choreographing even though they are first years.

Their piece is a contemporary lyrical dance called “Shadow of Your Heart.”

It will be performed to the song “Cosmic Love” by Florence and the Machine.

The piece has four dancers in it, including Nowlin, Leopold and two other sophomores.

“Taking this opportunity has been a chance to bring myself and style to the [dance] department,” Nowlin said.

Both girls agreed that choreographing their piece was definitely a way for them to express themselves.

“I am so grateful that we get to show what we can do. We have something to say, so I’m glad we get to voice it,” Leopold said.

The girls said they knew tere were doubts as to whether they were capable of the task when they auditioned the second week of school.

Now, however, the girls feel they have gained respect from their peers, upperclassmen and the rest of the dance department.

“We took risks and put a lot of hard work into it. We took leaps of faith, and it’s paid off,” Leopold said as Nowlin nodded in agreement.

In addition to Nowlin and Leopold, there are 10 other student choreographers who will be showcasing their pieces during Brown Bag this week.

The performances run for about an hour in length.

They will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 12 p.m. in the Bob Hope Theater Lobby in the Owen’s Art Center.

Performances on Tuesday and Thursday will be held at 12:30 p.m.

The Daily Campus ART

MOVIES

The Daily Campus talks to the writers Strauss Square is added to Dallas of ‘It’s Kind of a Funny Story’ Arts District

By ASHLEY WITHERS Contributing Writer awithers@smu.edu

While the Argenon Hospital Adult Psychiatric Ward may seem an unlikely setting for a coming-of-age story, “It’s Kind of a Funny Story� is about viewing life with a fresh perspective.

The Daily Campus had the opportunity to chat with the film’s directors and screenwriters, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, as well as the leading actors, Zach Galifianakis and Keir Gilchrist, about what it was like creating the movie. “It’s Kind of a Funny Story� is based on a novel of the same name and takes a humorous look at therapy and self-acceptance.

The film is lighter than Boden and Fleck’s previous film collaborations, but they felt audiences deserved a movie without a heavy dose of cynicism. “It felt very in the moment.

It treated the issues with respect and didn’t talk down to the characters,�

Fleck said. “It’s what we loved about the book and hoped to translate into the film.�

The plot centers on a teenage boy, Craig (Gilchrist), who checks himself into an adult psychiatric facility at the suggestion of a suicide hotline.

Once inside the facility, he befriends a fellow patient, Bobby (Galifianakis), who teaches him about life on the inside.

An element of innocent romance is also added to the plot as Craig learns to cope and starts to change his outlook on life. He only stays in the hospital for five days, but the message is clear. “One of the great things about the film is how he learns to appreciate what he has,� Fleck said. “We’d all be a lot happier if we did that.�

This is Gilchrist’s first major role in a film, and he fits the role of the socially awkward but lovable Craig

well. Craig is on an emotional journey throughout the movie, and Gilchrist takes the audience along for the ride. “It was not too difficult to relate to Craig, a guy my age who deals with stress, school and girls,� Gilchrist said. “It wasn’t at all different to find that place. I just drew from experience.�

The movie serves as a new direction for Galifianakis, as he moves away from his character in “The Hangover� to a more dramatic role.

The humor and perfectly timed comedic moments that he is famous for remain, however, but there is a depth to his character, Bobby, that has been lacking in prior roles. “I like that this is comedy, but with some realism,� Galifianakis said. “I like characters that are fragile and a bit

on the edge. Even though he (Bobby) is the sage to Craig’s character, he has some difficulties.�

The cast also features other well-

“It was not too difficult to relate to Craig, a guy my age who deals with stress, school and girls.�

known actors, including Lauren Graham and Emma Roberts.

Graham plays a fragile female character in her role as Craig’s mom, different from her usual strong-willed characters, while Roberts serves as a nice complement to Gilchrist, playing

his love interest and fellow patient in the film.

Inspirational and relatable, the star-studded cast and the adapted screenplay do not disappoint. “It’s Kind of a Funny Story� will make you laugh, cry and maybe even change the lens through which you view the world.

Running Time: 101 minutes Starring: Zach Galifianakis, Keir Gilchrist, Emma Roberts For more information, visit itskindofafunnystorymovie. com

The Dallas Arts District has taken years of planning, fundraising and implementing on the part of some of the most dedicated members of this city.

The most recent addition is the Strauss Square, which was dedicated Thursday to the former mayor, Annette Strauss, an avid advocate of the arts.

The ceremony included speeches from the former chair of the board for the performing arts center, Howard Hallam, Mayor Tom Leppert, SMU’s President R. Gerald Turner and Strauss’ husband Ted. All shared fond memories of Strauss’ vivacious personality and her unwillingness to give up on the arts. “The arts are for everyone,�

Hallam said. “Annette was the kind of person who understood that economic struggles pass, but the arts are forever.�

It is this mentality that the square is meant to reflect. The

area’s main feature is the Shannon and Ted Skokos Pavilion, which serves as the stage for the amphitheatre.

Although the square sits a bit too close to the highway, hopefully the installation of the park over Woodall Rogers will decrease the sound of traffic. At Thursday’s dedication, the noise failed to detract from the touching ceremony.

Because Strauss was such a firm believer in the importance of art, the dedication would not have been complete without a performance, which featured Meadows vocal and dance students.

Vocalists Laura Smolik and John Campione sang a beautiful duet titled, “Because of You,� while the female dancers from the class of 2014 performed a piece that culminated in the ribbon cutting ceremony. The accompanying pianist was the 14-yearold piano prodigy, Lewis Warren Jr. The upcoming events taking place in the square include a screening of “Casablanca� on Oct. 16 and a live simulcast of the opening night of the Dallas Opera’s “Don Giovvani� on Oct. 22.

OBITUARY

Famous saxophonist passes away

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Ed Wiley Jr., a jazz and blues saxophonist who recorded the 1950 hit “Cry, Cry Baby� and is considered an early influence in rock ‘n’ roll, has died in North Carolina. He was 80.

Ed Wiley III said Wednesday his father was leaving church in Garner on Sunday when he fell and struck his head. The elder

Wiley slipped into a coma and died the next day at a Raleigh hospital.

In 1950, the Houston native produced “Cry, Cry Baby,� which reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts. In later years, he performed with artists ranging from jazz-blues guitarist Clarence “Gatemouth�

Brown to the late R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass.

A funeral is scheduled for Friday morning in Raleigh.
