Family Weekend kicks off KATELYN HALL Contributing Writer khall@smu.edu

This year, as she has the past two years, Kelly O’Connor will make the 45-minute trip from Fort Worth to University Park to spend the weekend at SMU. “I love seeing my kids, I love meeting their friends and I love meeting their friends’ parents,�

O’Connor said. “We’ve met some of the nicest people over the past couple of years.�

O’Connor is one of the hundreds of parents who will arrive on campus this Friday and Saturday to spend time with their children. Families — local, out of state and international — will come to SMU for events, entertainment and game-day festivities.

Family Weekend events will kick off Friday with family class visits, academic open-house events, residential commons visits and more. Friday evening, families can go to the annual talent show featuring SMU students.

Saturday morning, the events will continue with a Boulevard Brunch before the 11 a.m. kickoff for the SMU versus Rutgers game.

So far, 3,006 people have bought tickets for the brunch.

Student Foundation Family Weekend Chair Will Slack said the weekend is all about making memories. The theme for this year’s event is Disney. “We wanted Disney because it is relatable, it’s memorable, and it’s just something people can attach to,� Slack said.

Out of the various events available this weekend, students are most excited about the talent show Friday night and the Taste of Dallas luncheon Friday at noon, according to a survey of 91 SMU students.

The majority of SMU students will have some part in this weekend’s festivities.

Over 64 percent of SMU students will have family visiting this weekend, according to the same survey.

Kaci Rood, a first-year living in

Virginia-Snider, is excited to show her parents what she has been doing at SMU thus far. “It’s just the right amount of time, especially for [first-years],�

Said Rood, who’s excited to experience the football game with her family. “I’m on Mustang 11, so they’re going to see me painted up and get all spirited for the football game,� she said.

Even students who do not have parents attending Family Weekend are eager for the various events.

Over 56 percent of students will participate in Family Weekend regardless of whether or not their parents are coming, according to the same survey of 91 students.

Junior Zain Haidar won’t be spending this weekend with his family, but he still values Family Weekend. “My parents aren’t coming because they live 40 minutes away and so really any weekend is potentially family weekend for them,� said Haidar, who lives in Southlake, Texas.

Slack says students like Haidar do not need to miss out. “For students with parents who don’t come, I’d say there is still plenty of opportunity to participate,� said Slack, who points out students can easily go to events without their parents.

Haidar believes Family Weekend brings the SMU community together, even if students do not have visiting family. “Family weekend is important because it helps to foster a sense of campus pride outside of the physical bounds of our university,� he said. “Parents and siblings that come get to take part in the mustang experience and this bolsters our community.�

O’Connor agrees that Family Weekend is valuable. “I think it’s important, after you spend so much time choosing the school, to see your kids there, and see how happy they are there,�

O’Connor said.

Students and families can learn more information about this weekend’s events at smu.edu/sf.

EVENT

Sammons lecture hosts JFK-era journalists CLARA LEMON Contributing Writer clemon@smu.edu It was the first time in its 14 years as a program at SMU, that the Rosine Sammons Lecture in Media Ethics was led by not one, but four of some of the best journalists to have worked in Dallas.

Hugh Aynesworth, S. Griffin Singer, Darwin Payne and Bob Huffaker were all reporting in Dallas in 1963 when former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Not only a pivotal moment in history, but also an event that marked the turning point for media coverage in the United States. “All have observed the changes in media since the assassination,� said Tony Pederson, Belo Foundation Distinguished Chair endowed in Journalism at SMU. The lecture, was held at 8 p.m. in Caruth Auditorium at Meadows School of the Arts. Aynesworth, who led the conversation, asked each reporter to describe how they

dealt with the news the moment of, and directly following the assassination. They discussed the difficulty of reporting with limited technology available, especially as it concerned communication. “The payphone may be a museum item now, but they were very important

to us back then,� Griffin said.

Later that evening, when reporters clamored to get a look at assassin Lee Harvey Oswald being escorted to the county jail, Huffaker filmed the first murder on CBS television. It was competitive and was one of the first times

that a need for live broadcasting was highlighted. Until that point, all filmed events were scheduled ahead of time, and reporters never needed to broadcast at a moment’s notice. Griffin described it as a

Now going on day four, the U.S. government does not appear to have made much progress in coming to a resolution that would put it back in effect.

The House Republicans are keeping their hard line against President Obama’s health care program, while Obama himself refuses to back down from his insistence on the issue. “The House Republicans will be the losers in this fight,� said political science professor Cal Jillson.

However, Jillson said despite that assertion, their “high pain threshold� makes it “difficult to say how long [the shutdown] will last� and poses challenges that could only escalate the current side effects to ones of a far worse magnitude.

“If it lasts a couple of weeks and blends into the debt ceiling debate in mid-October, the dangers of real damage to the economy rise exponentially.�

The U.S. economy takes a hit with each day the stalemate continues. Jillson’s colleague and Director of SMU’s Tower Center James Hollifield called the “economic consequences� of a U.S. default on debts “too terrible to contemplate.� “I assume that the Congress and the president will do everything possible to avoid that outcome,�

Hollifield said.

At the heart of SMU’s own community, the Bush Presidential Library and Museum remain closed, as both are federallyfunded. The Center did announce that all advance ticket buyers for public tours would be refunded their full ticket price within 10 business days of the government re-opening.

CRIME

Party near campus ends with assault, citations STAFF REPORTS At least one SMU student was involved in an altercation early Thursday morning on SMU Boulevard that ended with an officer assault and six citations for minors in possession of alcohol. “This case is under investigation by the Dallas Police Department.

SMU will pursue its own investigation to determine if any violations of the SMU Student Code of Conduct, which applies to student behavior both on and off the campus, have occurred.

Such violations could result in

academic sanctions imposed by the University,� Executive Director of News and Media Relations Kent Best told The Daily Campus.

The Dallas Morning News reported that Larry Darnell Moore, 21, was charged with assault on a public servant after he punched an officer responding to a 12:30 a.m. call at an apartment complex in the 5600 block of SMU Boulevard.

All the minors that received citations were taken home by the police and SMU police were notified of the incident. It is unknown whether all six were SMU students.

For Faculty-in-Residence, Batenburg has big goals KATELYN GOUGH Assignments Desk Editor kgough@smu.edu Editors note: In August 2014 SMU will debut the Residential Commons on-­campus living model.

Eleven Faculty-­in-­Residence were selected to live among students. This is part one of 11 FiR profiles.

Ann Batenburg, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Simmons School Department of Teaching and Learning, will be one of 11 SMU faculty members to pioneer the new Faculty-inResidence program when the university’s new Residential Commons opens in fall of 2014.

Batenburg spoke with The Daily Campus on some of her main goals for growing the new residential life program to deliver the most benefit for both students and the faculty living alongside them. Batenburg is no stranger to on-campus living — most recently, she served as a residential hall supervisor at a boarding school, where she worked with first-year high school students adapting to “the newness and the change.� “It was a really rewarding experience to be able to help them

[through their first year],� Batenburg said. “It was a very mutuallybeneficial experience.�

Batenburg previously focused on elementary education. She believes that working so closely with university students will allow her to have a greater depth of insight into the learning styles of this age group. “I don’t know this age group that well, so I figured this would help me get to know...the undergrad student[s]...and help me as a professor,� Batenburg explained.

With early planning already underway for both social and disciplinary engagement, Batenburg highlighted one Sunday night program she hopes to start: a weekly

Foodie 101: A savvy guide to the Dallas restaurant scene MALLORY ASHCRAFT Food Editor mashcraft@smu.edu

Getting a taste of Dallas at some of the city’s best local restaurants is a great way for families to spend time together this weekend.

Dallas is home to many highend restaurants, and the dining scene is fun and diverse.

Neighborhood Services, named Dallas’ No. 1 restaurant by D Magazine this year, is a fine-dining experience that is well worth the wait to be seated.

The American-style menu offers something for everyone.

Some main course dishes include steak frites, beef tenderloin, roast chicken and a gourmet burger.

There are also nightly specials and a rotating selection of fish and handmade pasta dishes. The homemade fried hand pies and vanilla ice cream are irresistible as an after-dinner dessert.

For authentic Texas flavor, try Mr. Mesero, an upscale TexMex restaurant owned by local restaurateur and founder of Taco Diner and Mi Cocina. The menu features tacos, enchiladas and steak dishes, along with some classic American dishes such as burgers and roast chicken.

The guacamole is perfection, and the tacos can’t be beat. The atmosphere is relaxing outside on the air-conditioned patio.

Ziziki’s and The Greek are two Mediterranean-style sister restaurants in Dallas. Both offer a delicious menu of Greek appetizers and dips, salads, souvlakis and gyros. Both menus also feature traditional Greek dishes including mousaka, pastichio, lamb and fish entrees.

The gyro, chicken pita and mousaka at The Greek are exceptional, and Ziziki’s

spanakopita, Ziziki bread and lamb souvlaki are just a few highlights.

Sangria Mediterranean Tapas and Bar takes another approach to Mediterranean cuisine, fusing a menu of Greek-inspired dishes with Spanish tapas dishes. The menu offers items like croquettes, cured meats and cheeses, vegetables, salads and more. Some traditional tapas dishes on the

offers a full menu of dishes that are healthier versions of homestyle classics. For a savory fix there is a variety of omelets and scrambles to choose from, breakfast tacos and the “deep bowl,” which is a grass-fed beef and sweet potato hash topped with eggs. For a sweet tooth, the menu offers pancakes, gluten-free French toast and a granola parfait. Lunch offerings include salads made using local and organic produce, sandwiches and burgers with options like gluten-free buns and portobello mushroom or buffalo patties.

The Kozy Kitchen is another cafe-style restaurant with an emphasis on local, organic and healthy food. For breakfast, the Kozy Kitchen also offers a full menu of omelets and scrambles, pancakes and French toast. The lunch menu features many healthy gourmet salads made with organic ingredients and high-quality meats and seafood. The Captain Caveman salad, made with bacon, avocado, warm shrimp and rich goat cheese served over mixed greens and served with a flavorful chipolte aioli, is the perfect salad.

Hopdoddy Burger Bar is a popular spot for an off-campus lunch break (be sure to get there early to beat the long line). With a menu focused on all-natural ingredients and gourmet flavor, Hopdoddy is one of the best burger joints in town and is definitely

worth a visit. The Classic Burger truly meets the standard for a classic burger, with a thick and juicy seven-ounce Angus beef patty served between two housebaked buns (gluten-free option available). For a taste that’s a little more unconventional, there are 11 other burger combinations with different high-quality meat choices such as buffalo, lamb and turkey.

The truffle fries are addictive, but the menu also caters to healthy eaters with a selection of salads.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Texas without barbecue. Pecan Lodge, located downtown at the Dallas Farmer’s Market, is technically open from Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. — or until they run out, which tends to happen around noon.

The Burnt Ends, or brisket end cuts, and the jalapeno-and-bacon mac and cheese are a couple of menu highlights.

An obvious dessert destination is Sprinkles Cupcakes, a flavors including pumpkin spice, cinnamon, red velvet and many others.

Dallas is also home to the one and only Wild About Harry’s, a restaurant that serves hot dogs but is famous for its frozen custard and shakes.

Chocolate Secrets is a shop of handmade chocolates that has everything from truffles to turtles, plus a coffee and wine bar.

Homecoming breeds excitement EMILY SIMS News Writer esims@smu.edu The Boulevard will be transformed into a mythical pathway of stories while classic literary works come to life for this year’s homecoming — Boulevard Bound: Many Stories, One Tradition.

For this year’s homecoming, Oct. 24-27, the Student Foundation

picked well-known stories to assign to the participating organizations.

In addition to traditional homecoming activities like float building, Student Foundation has added three new activities.

SMU has partnered with the North Texas Food Bank to add a “can-struction” competition between the organizations, which will be the community service event.

Each organization will also

make its own video promoting SMU Athletics and featuring its homecoming candidate. The top three videos will be presented during the first half of the homecoming game. Residence halls will now have their own competition during homecoming week. With homecoming weekend three weeks away, anticipation is building to see who the next homecoming king and queen will be. Below is a list of each organization’s selected candidate.

As well as reporting on the assassination, each followed up with detailed investigative work of their own, leaving a legacy for those still researching the assassination. Ayensworth published the “Oswald Diaries,” as well as interviewed Marina Oswald, the assassin’s wife. Payne also interviewed Marina, and wrote a story on Jack Ruby.

According to Ayensworth, when Marina Oswald was asked in an interview whether it all would

However, the assassination was a time of sorrow for Dallas and the nation, and Huffaker said it brought a certain seriousness to all journalists working on it.

COMMENTARY

Mustangs don vintage The collapse of the Texas Rangers: the art of losing blue for AAC debut PRESTON HUTCHERSON Contributing Writer phutcherson@smu.edu

PATRICIA VILLACIN Contributing Writer pvillacin@smu.edu

In the first of a series of home games this season, the SMU Football team will don blue throwback jerseys as part of an ‘80s Night for its Family Weekend game and American Athletic Conference debut against Rutgers.

Game day spectators are in for a “radical” treat this Family Weekend when the SMU football team marks its entry into the American Athletic Conference by throwing Ford Stadium back to the ‘80s.

According to Director of Athletics Rick Hart, this special ‘80s theme will serve as a tribute to the visiting members of the 1983 football team.

“We’ve invited all of our former student athletes back to the game and then within that, we’re honoring two teams in particular that are celebrating championship anniversaries – the 2003 women’s soccer team and the 1983 football team,” Hart said. “Since it’s a football game, we thought we’d turn it into an ‘80s theme in honor of the 1983 team. It’s an opportunity to celebrate Family Weekend and do that with former student athletes.”

Team captain of the ‘83 Mustangs, Lance McIlhenny said his senior season ended with a bang when he and his team got the opportunity to play at the Sun Bowl. McIlhenny still comes back to campus regularly to Boulevard and watch home games, but the recognition he and his teammates are set to receive makes this upcoming weekend’s game much more significant.

“Playing football seems just like yesterday, even though it was 30 years ago,” McIlhenny said. “I was fortunate enough to play for SMU for four years. It’s very nice of the athletics department to recognize the 1983 team. I’m hopeful that a bunch

of guys will be there to celebrate as 30 years go by.”

Current football players are also excited about the ‘80s theme and the chance to honor their predecessors at Saturday’s game.

“SMU has a tradition of football success,” senior linebacker Randall Joyner said. “The 1983 team played at the highest level and made its mark here at SMU. We’re proud to wear the throwback uniforms as a tribute to their success, but we plan on writing our own chapter, and that starts Saturday when we begin American Athletic Conference play.

“We’re 0-0 in the league, and we have a great opportunity to take our first step towards another bowl game and a potential

conference championship.”

Hart said that the athletics department has not organized any special themed games in a long while. Later in the season, one of the games will be themed around celebrating university achievement while another one is set to center on military and service personnel appreciation.

“In football, we’ve got six home games, so we’re really making sure to build a theme around those games and try to focus on a certain audience or highlight a certain aspect of the university community,” Hart said.

“We want to use football and our football games as platforms to recognize deserving people and to try and engage the community in a broad, meaningful way.”

The final score of game 163 was 5-2 as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Texas Rangers, keeping them out of the playoffs.

In the world of competitive sports, there are few things as intolerable as the sight of the opposing team celebrating a victory on your home field, desecrating the sacred realm of your team, with the ghosts of past heroes looking on from the upper decks, wringing their hands disapprovingly.

Losing is its own bitter pill, but being forced to watch the visiting team bask in the joy that was sure to be yours is too much for most fans to stomach. For my part, I didn’t speak, not even one word, for at least 45 minutes after the final out in Arlington on Monday night. The 2013 Texas Rangers played their final game of the season that night, losing a tiebreaker game at home 5-2 against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The winner of the game went on to Cleveland to begin postseason play while the loser was left with the distinction of being the first team since 2005 to win 91 games and not make the playoffs.

The Rangers never seemed in control of the game, managing only two runs while Rays’ ace David Price pitched his way to a seven hit, complete game victory.

Nelson Cruz, in his first game back from a 50 game PED suspension, grounded out shortstop to first in the bottom of the ninth to provide the 27th out of the night and the final of the season. Price responded with an emphatic slap of his thigh, while yelling, “That’s what I’m talking about,” to his teammates as they rushed forward and a split second later engulfed him in baseball’s standing, jumping dog pile.

Texas’ third baseman Adrian Beltre is taken out by a Rays base runner.

The strangest thing about seeing the visiting team celebrate a playoffclinching win in your home stadium is the silence. From seat 12, row 11, section 314, the cheers of the Rays players were not audible, drowned out by the sound of more than 42,000 Ranger’s fans sighing, rising from their seats, and shuffling towards the exits. No boos, certainly no cheers, just resignation. I stood there for a few minutes though, watching the Rays congratulate each other in a scene out of a silent film, one I don’t wish to ever see again.

The Rangers have missed the playoffs entirely this season, after three consecutive seasons of qualifying, including two consecutive World Series appearances.

Since being one strike away from winning it all in 2011, the Rangers have experienced back-to-back season ending losses in “win or go home” games — last year in the AL Wild Card game and now this year in the tiebreaker game.

The team has made blowing huge leads in the final month of the season look routine, which is a discouraging trend. The casual fan can only take so much soul-crushing disappointment.

The smart fan looks deeper though. The Rangers are one of only two teams to win at least 90

games (the traditional benchmark of above-average play) in each of the last four seasons. Baseball is hard.

The amount of things that must go right for a team to win 90 games is staggering, yet the Rangers have managed to do so four years in a row.

While it’s true that winning just one more game could have rewritten the story of this season, given the unpredictably of the game itself being in the playoff hunt for a fourth straight year is an enviable accomplishment and a testament to the strength of the organization.

I was disappointed to see another year of Yu Darvish and Adrian Beltre playing for the Rangers pass without a championship.

I wasn’t ready to stop watching Profar, Martin, Andrus, Perez, and Gentry develop into young stars. I wanted Alex Rios to play in his first postseason game. But I realize I have received all I can reasonable ask for as a fan. I was able to watch my team win a lot of games and play meaningful baseball until the final out of the season. The rest is in the hands of the game itself. The mysterious forces that govern this game of inches chose my team to come up a few short again this year. I can live with that. Go Rangers.

PRESIDENTIAL LIBR ARY

Bush Institute student interns discuss perks, opportunities BRIE STRICKLAND Contributing Writer EVVWULFNOD#VPX HGX Driving down Airline Road on her way to her fall semester internship, Mary Anna Billingsley passes morning joggers and students scurrying from fraternity row to class. Billingsley, a junior Public Relations major, parks across the street from her internship. When she enters the building she makes note to wave to the security guards, who always smile at a familiar face. The ordinary start to her day is for an anything-but-ordinary internship at the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

Billingsley is one of a select handful of SMU students that is currently interning at the Bush Center, which opened to the public last spring. Working in event planning for the institute, Billingsley spends her time preparing for and finalizing details for events such as the Warrior Open Golf Tournament, which was this past weekend.

Each day brings new challenges, rewards and tasks — from trying to fill her car with hundreds of floral arrangements to greeting important guests with a warm smile. Her role and interest in the

positions stems from a childhood admiration sparked by the wave of patriotism brought on by last spring’s dedication ceremony.

“I grew up in a conservative household and have always had an admiration for the Bush family, especially after the way President Bush courageously handled 9/11,” Billingsley said. “I got involved with College Republicans as a [first-year] and after attending the dedication ceremony last year, I knew I wanted to be a part of the Institute, not just another face in the crowd.”

Alex Farrar, a senior with majors in EMIS and math, balances her time on the SMU swim and diving team with an internship in the Bush Center’s military service initiative. Farrar shares her support of the Bush family and credits it with sparking her interest to work at the center this semester.

“I wanted to work at the Bush Center because I believe in what President and Mrs. Bush stand for and I wanted to be a part of and help lead their missions,” Farrar said.

Kalen Lewis, another SMU senior spending time within the center, is contributing to the success of the education reform sector. Whereas Billingsley

I am and I hope to one day be able to afford the same opportunities I have been given to others,” Lewis said.

For Lewis, there are many perks about working at the Bush Center. From feeling like he’s part of improving the world around him to anticipating upcoming keynote speakers to the “amazing Keurig brewers” with unlimited green tea, Lewis is loving his first couple of weeks.

Even though each intern has

different responsibilities, reasons for being part of the institute’s success and comes from different backgrounds, they all seem to have the same favorite part of the exhibit. Farrar simply states that the 9/11 exhibit is her favorite in the museum and Billingsley notes how the movie footage “gives her chills every time.”

Internships are run by two separate organizations — the George W. Bush Foundation, which includes the George W. Bush

Institute, and the National Archives and Records Administration, the government entity that runs the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Overall, this makes up the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Applications are currently open for Spring 2014 and SMU students are encouraged to apply from all majors.

COMMENTARY

Scarlet Knights look to Do what you do, Romo rain on SMU’s parade DEMETRIO TENIENTE Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu

BILLY EMBODY Sports Writer wembody@smu.edu

SMU P ICK S

Family Weekend for SMU is jam-packed of activities for families, students, faculty and staff, but SMU football has the spotlight as the team opens American Athletic Conference play against Rutgers.

The 11 a.m. kickoff will feature two teams trending in two opposite directions this season ,with Rutgers at 3-1 and SMU at 1-3 following its blowout loss to TCU last weekend.

SMU will have to convert in the redzone this week, something the team has struggled with throughout the season.

That falls on the shoulders of quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who leads the 11th ranked passing attack in the country, but has thrown for just four touchdowns on the season.

The Rutgers defense will give SMU everything they can handle and if the offensive line struggles, it will be a long day.

“They give you a ton of different looks. Just not making mental errors in the pass protection, you know,” SMU Head Coach June Jones said. “Everybody is going to get beat physically, but not making mental errors because they do a lot of different looks.”

Rutgers had an extra week to prepare for SMU and figure out how to replace running back Paul James, one of the leading rushers in the NCAA, who was lost to injury against Arkansas.

Savon Huggins, a former fivestar recruit is expected to take the carries after rushing for 21 yards on nine carries against Arkansas after James went down.

More responsibility will be put on Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova, who led Rutgers back against Arkansas after being down by 17 points at one point.

One way Rutgers will try and beat the pressure is in the quick passing game and with screens, something SMU struggled with against TCU and Jones believes SMU will have to fix those miscues to be successful.

“I think the misses were more in space on those screens and stuff. Just keep working hard and keep practicing so hopefully the guys come to balance and play better,” Jones said. “When you get out there in space and you’re the only guy, you have to make the tackle.”

The SMU secondary, which has struggled this season, will have to deal with Rutgers’ big receivers, who are well-rounded in all aspects of the game.

“They are strong and they block well in the run game. They can run a little bit,” Jones said.

“They force you to play a little bit differently because of the size you’re going to get a feel early in the game whether you can bump and run them or not if you’re a corner.”

SMU has the opportunity to right the course of its season with a win and if not, the team could continue its downward spiral and quickly be out of the conference championship picture.

Prediction: Rutgers wins, 24-17.

There are Romo-haters, and Romo-lovers. Most Romo-haters are pedestrian, part-time fans, who don’t watch the games from a position of knowledge of the game or players they criticize. Most of the time their arguments are way off base...but not this time. At least they aren’t completely wrong.

Being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys means that you will be criticized. It means that fans will always find something to complain about your performance.

From the moment Tony Romo took over for Drew Bledsoe in week six of the 2006 season, he did so on the biggest stage of the NFL in the regular season — Monday Night Football.

The Cowboys lost that game 22-36 and Romo threw for 227 yards, two touch downs and three picks.

The initial reaction was that he was a loose cannon; electric but he takes too many risks.

Despite a shaky first performance, Romo won the starting gig and became the face of America’s team. He finished

the regular season with 2903 yards, 19 TD, 13 INT, his first ProBowl selection and a playoff birth for Dallas.

Then came the slippery ball in Seattle and Romo was stamped with the label “choker.” After that playoff lost, the criticism for Romo was relentless, especially when he seemed cool and unfazed by the loss. His cool demeanor has been as criticized as his style of play.

Growing up in Wisconsin, Romo idolized the Packers gunslinging quarterback, Brett Favre. Romo modeled his style of play after Favre’s early in his career and was successful early on.

But a lack of post season success prompted the Romo-haters to cry, “he takes too many risks!”

That’s been their rallying cry until now.

In 2013, Romo has thrown eight touchdowns and only one pick, but has amassed only 1015 yards in four games, and is averaging 9.2 yards per completion (a career low).

Now the criticism on Romo is that he is too cautious, he doesn’t take any risks. This is true, Romo has become a game manager.

Maybe it’s out of fear that he will throw a pick or loose a fumble and

cost Dallas a game, I don’t know.

But I don’t like it.

I want the old Romo back, the gunslinger, the Favre incarnate Romo, the devil-may care Romo, the Doc Holiday Romo, I want the run-n-gun, scrambling out of the pocket, throwing down the field Tony Romo. That’s the Romo that is having fun and playing the game with passion. That is a Romo that isn’t holding anything back.

On Sunday, the Cowboys face what is probably the most potent offense the NFL has seen since the “Greatest Show on Turf.”

The outlook isnt good for Romo and the Boys. What’s that Jimmy Johnson, former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, “When you go up against an 800 pound gorilla, you don’t hit him lightly...You give him everything you got!”

Agreed, Jimmy!

The Cowboys need to hit the Broncos with everything they got, that means Romo can’t be holding back out of fear of losing. Chances are, you are going to lose anyways.

Why not go out in a blaze of glory?

So this is what I have to say to Romo: “Age quod agis,” which is latin for do what you do bestskin that smoke wagon and see what happens.

SMU sophomore Alfred Koroma will lead the charge to end the Cardinals’ streak of shutouts.

Koroma is ranked in the top 10 in four different statistical categories in the AAC: he has two match winners (T-3rd), 23 shots (T-4th), three goals (T-6th) and six points (T-10th).

Mustang keeper Jaime Ibarra is tied for second place in the AAC with 30 saves and is fifth with 3.33 saves per game.

The Cardinals are led by sophomore Ricardo Velazco,

After dropping games against No. 5 Washington and Portland SMU makes its return to the Hilltop where they will play four of their final seven games at Westcott field.

In 2013, the Mustangs are 1-1. That’s a mark they hope to improve on as they were undefeated at home (6-0-4) in 2012.

First up for SMU is No. 17 Louisville on Sunday. The Cardinals are currently at the top of the American Athletic Conference with a record of 2-0

who has 10 points. First-year Andrew Brody backs up Velazco with seven points. Louisville has 14 different players accounting for the team’s total of 45 points.

The Cardinals have their own version of Ibarra protecting their net; junior Joachim Ball has played every minute in the net this season and has 17 saves and a 0.54 goals-against-average.

Louisville has outscored its opponents, 15-5, and outshot them by a 129-82 margin.

The Mustangs hold a 1-0 alltime record against the Cardinals.

However the last time the teams met was back in 2000.

SMU’s Caroline Young will square off with Louisville’s Maya McClendon. Young has won Conference Player of the Week awards two consecutive times, while McClendon has won Conference Freshman of the Week twice. Young has provided the Mustangs with a spark that has ignited a 2-0 start in conference play to the tune of

3.46 kills per set, scoring 32 in two conference matches. Young is also 10th in hitting percentage, .268, and tied for third with 18 aces in the AAC. SMU is third in the AAC in kills as a team, with an average of 13.45 per set, and the Mustangs are second in hitting percentage with .237.

The Mustangs are in the top five in the AAC in six of seven statistical categories overall. In conference matches only, the Mustangs are in the top three of all seven categories and either first or second in five categories.

Louisville comes into the match as the 2012 Big East tournament champion, and is one of three teams with a 2-0 record at the start of conference play.

The Bearcats have struggled out of the gate and coming into American Athletics play, holding a record of 5-7-0 overall and 1-1-0 in conference entering Thursday, they’ll hope to get things back on track.

As for the Mustangs, they’ll be hoping their successful ways at home stay the same over the weekend and that their match against the Louisville Cardinals won’t wear them down too much.

of the team in her first campaign on the Hilltop, and has been a goto player when the team obviously needed a contribution the most.

Her running mate, Redman, has been equally impressive through the first half of the season.

The preseason all-conference player is close to tying her goalmark of nine from a season ago, with her seven in 2013. She’ll have plenty of opportunities against Cincinnati, who’s given up 22 goals to opponents through its first 12 matches, including three penalties.

On the defensive side for SMU, only two goals have been scored against the team in the last four matches, showing the marked improvement of goalie Lauryn Bodden. The junior from Tampa, Fla. seems to have solidified her starting position and the Mustangs will be all the better because of it.

With AAC play in full-swing now, it appears as though the Mustangs should keep up their early season success going forward into Sunday’s game against the Bearcats and beyond.

FRIDAY Q OCTOBER 4, 2013 FEATURE

The Dallas LOVE Project: Honoring JFK’s legacy through art MALLORY ASHCRAFT Food Editor mashcraft@smu.edu Across Dallas, students and residents of all ages have come together to create more than 30,000 original works of art inspired by the words of great peacemakers, artists and other figures for the Dallas LOVE Project.

The artwork will be displayed at sites along the John F. Kennedy motorcade route until Nov. 30 as part of a citywide remembrance of the 50th anniversary of the president’s assassination. “I hope it gets the message across that we’re not a city of hate, we’re a city of love,� said Madeline Anderson, a fifth grader at Dallas’ Parish Episcopal School, who participated in the project.

Anderson said her piece included hearts and the following quote by

Mother Teresa: “Good works are links that form a chain of love.�

The Dallas LOVE Project is a part of 29 Pieces, a non-profit art initiative in Dallas started by artist Karen Blessen. Her goal with the LOVE Project is to turn Dallas into a citywide art gallery.

Blessen also co-founded the MasterPEACE Program, a projectbased learning program for children.

Students use the power of artistic expression to explore a concept, such as love, for the MasterPEACE lessons. They are then asked to talk about the meaning of their art.

The Dallas LOVE Project was developed from one of the MasterPEACE lessons. “Part of what we do is also to ask kids to be able to articulate what they’re doing,� Blessen said. “And then we have worked very hard to get kids’ art displayed all over the city so that the students feel that pride of

positive accomplishment. And we’ve seen little miracles happen over and over and over again with the kids we work with.�

Dallas’ Parish Episcopal School, which has contributed an estimated 650 pieces of art to the LOVE Project, has been involved with the MasterPEACE Program for the past six years. Becky Crawford, director of experiential education and service learning at Parish, said that many of the students didn’t know much about the assassination and the social issues of the time, and that the history lesson behind the project inspired conversations about humanity and respect. “Many of them really didn’t know anything about John F. Kennedy,� Crawford said. She also said many students were shocked to learn that Dallas was segregated 50 years ago.

Students at the Irma Lerma

Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School, another Dallas school participating in the LOVE Project, were also struck by the historical differences that characterized Dallas 50 years ago. “So many of the social injustices that were so prevalent in Dallas in 1963 are unknown in their lives,� said Diana O’Connor, school librarian at the Rangel School.

The Rangel School, a Dallas ISD magnet school, was the first allgirls school in Texas. The student population is 70 percent Hispanic and about 19 percent African American, according to O’Connor.

Students from the Rangel School contributed about 600 pieces of art to the LOVE Project.

LOVE art will be on display at sites across Dallas including the Sixth Floor Museum, Parkland Hospital, the Dallas Public Library and other locations for the JFK anniversary.

Crawford was hanging LOVE art at Parkland Hospital one recent Saturday. She said she was amazed by the variety of pieces from many different artists.

In addition to art made by students, there were also pieces created by senior citizens, church groups, refugee women and children, hospitalized children, professional artists and others. “People are really expressing themselves, and wanting to,� she said. “And you know, I don’t think it’s just what happened 50 years ago, either.�

Crawford said she believes people are tired of violence, and that the LOVE Project and the JFK anniversary are allowing people to express themselves.

Each LOVE Project participant chooses a quote about love. The artist then interprets the quote and transfers it to an 18-by-18 inch poster board using materials such as construction paper, paint, markers and colored pencils.

Some popularly used quotes came from songs by The Beatles, especially the famous

verse “All you need is love.� Other quotations came from figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and John F. Kennedy.

O’Connor said that the teachers emphasized to students that their art represented a message to the community about love. She said that investing the students with this responsibility made the project more than just an art lesson. “The impact that this can have on people is bigger than that,� she said.

Teachers often ask students to expand the messages of their MasterPEACE art into projects that address the bigger picture.

In 2011, students from Parish, the Rangel School and Dallas’ Maya Angelou School for Pregnant and Parenting Teens teamed up and took a MasterPEACE lesson about homelessness one step further when they presented a plea to Mayor Mike Rawlings and the Dallas City Council. “The kids felt like they had a voice,� Crawford said.

That project involved researching homelessness and thinking of possible solutions.

Students displayed their information on signs made from cardboard which were placed on display at Dallas

City Hall.

O’Connor said that expanding MasterPEACE lessons into the community gives the students an authentic audience to view their art and makes a significant impact on the learning process.

Blessen’s inspiration for founding 29 Pieces and the MasterPEACE Program came after she was affected by violence when she witnessed a murder take place in the front yard of her Dallas home and couldn’t let it go. “I had a strong desire to make the world better,� said Blessen, who gets her funding for the project from foundation grants, individual gifts and earned income.

She said she initially considered working with incarcerated criminals or victims. Ultimately, though, she decided to focus her efforts on preventing murders from happening by educating children about non-violence. “I would rather work to try and build children before they make really bad impulsive decisions rather than trying to repair the damage after it’s done,� Blessen said.

Entertainment Guide: things to do over Family Weekend COURTNEY SPALTEN A&E Editor cspalten@smu.edu Family weekend is always an excellent opportunity to explore all the entertainment options that Dallas has to offer.

This weekend, there are many new exhibitions, films and campus events to check out. Since the football game is taking place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, there is plenty of time to look at some of these options.

The Bush Institute may be closed over the weekend due to the government shut down, but there are a number of museums in Dallas that remain open and unaffected by the current situation.

There are several things worth checking out at the Dallas Museum of Art. “The Body Beautiful in Ancient Greece: Masterworks from the British Museum” May 5-­ Oct. 6 This weekend is the final opportunity to see the internationally touring exhibition at the DMA. The exhibition features over 120 objects from that explore the human form through the British Museum’s collection of Greek and Roman sculpture.

On Saturday, there will be a special event at 2 p.m. featuring the Dallas Black Dance Theatre presenting their new work, “The Line of Beauty That Runs Through.”

The performance, which is inspired by the exhibition, explores the beauty of the human figure throughout cultures and time.

Tickets are $16 for adults and free for children 11 and under.

Discounts are available for students and military.

Saturated: Dye-Decorated Cloths from North and West Africa Aug. 16-­ Summer 2014 The DMA recently opened this

new exhibit that focuses on dyer’s art from North and West Africa.

The collection features 11 dyedecorated cloths that are typically worn as garments or accessories.

Form/Unformed: Design from 1960 to the Present Dec. 19, 2010-­ Dec. 2013 After three years of being on display, the “Form/Unformed” exhibition will soon be leaving the DMA.

Featured artists include Verner Panton, Frank Gehry, Aldo Rossi, Ettore Sottsass, Robert Venturi, Donald Judd, Zaha Hadid, Louise Campbell, and Fernando and Humberto Campana. Admission to this exhibit is free.

There is also a recently opened exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center.

Return to Earth: Ceramic Sculpture of Fontana, Melotti, Miro, Noguchi and Picasso Sept. 21– Jan. 19

The Nasher recently opened the first exhibition to explore the increase in interest in ceramics of avant-garde artists, including Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Joan Miro, Isamu Noguchi and Pablo Picasso.

These artists often responded to their personal creativity and the historical context through the ceramic medium, and produced art that challenged the boundaries between sculpture and ceramics.

The exhibition features over 70 works by a variety of artists.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and free for children 12 and under.

Perot Museum of Nature and Science will premiere a new exhibition this weekend.

“Animal Inside Out” Oct. 6-­ Feb. 17 Sunday is opening day for the Perot’s new exhibition, “Animal Inside Out,” which will offer an in-depth look at the anatomy and physiology of over 100 different animals, including ostriches, octopi, cats, crocodiles and more.

With the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy approaching on Nov. 22, there are several things to see at The Sixth Floor Museum.

In addition to the permanent collection that chronicles the assassination and legacy of the President, there are several special opportunities this weekend: The American President: Photographs from the Archives of The Associated Press Aug. 18 – Oct. 27 The museum is highlighting the work of The Associated Press in covering American Presidents. The exhibit features 71 photographs taken by Associated Press photographers over the past 100 years.

Author Series with Hugh Aynesworth Oct. 5, 1 p.m.

On Saturday, the JFK museum will feature a book signing with Hugh Aynesworth, a reporter who was assigned to cover the Dallas visit of President John Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963.

Aynesworth witnessed first-hand the assassination of the president and 50 years later, he has released a book, “November 22, 1963: Witness to History,” that recounts the events and set the record straight.

Aynesworth spoke to SMU students on Wednesday at the Rosine Smith Sammons Lecture in Media Ethics.

Admission to the event is free, but tickets are required and can be purchased online at the museum’s website.

In addition to museums, there are several films opening this weekend. Since weather predictions currently suggest rain

on Saturday, a movie may be the perfect afternoon activity.

“Gravity” The Sci-Fi flick “Gravity” opens on Friday, and stars Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone, a scientist on a space shuttle mission alongside astronaut Matt Kowalsky, played by George Clooney. The two must navigate through a debris stricken area in space and save themselves.

“Road Runner” Also opening on Friday is Ben Affleck and Justin Timerlake’s new film. In the thriller, Timberlake plays a Princeton grad student who becomes involved with both the FBI and an online gaming tycoon.

“Parkland” Opening on Friday, “Parkland” stars Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thonrton, Jacki Weaver, and Jeremy Strong. The film explores the events surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and what occurred after in Dallas.

RESPONSE

An open letter to Mac squared EMILY DUNN Contributing Writer emdunn@smu.edu Dear Mr. McClaran, Although I really wish we could be friends in real life because your surname bears a marked resemblance to the famed watering hole of “How I Met Your Mother,� and I absolutely love that show, I don’t think we’d get along. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.

However, that’s simply not a good enough reason to attack your recent op-ed column — personal, petty differences have no place in public print (even if alliteration does). Besides, your flimsy use of the Holy Bible as a cheap shot of ethos, your broad but shallow treatment of delicate and complex gender issues, your awkwardly written inflammation of the ever-present abortion debate, and your inability to properly construct and implement a compound sentence all leave plenty of fodder for a reactionary column that could fuel a kind of print war that the likes of which has not been seen since the days of Hearst and Pulitzer.

But I’m not going to do that.

Because you have a point.

Maybe even a valid point.

I would agree with you that SMU (and in light of recent events, our government) could use a few more good men.

And women, since they can vote now and all. However, I would argue that both genders become their mature and adult counterparts for strikingly similar reasons, not because they’ve passed major, genderspecific milestones defined by a form of religion or a definition of gender to which they may not personally prescribe. Good people are good people and we need more of them.

Simple as that.

To follow in your vein of family values and filial relationships‌a man isn’t a man because he got hitched; he’s a man because he is capable of making the vows and commitments one would expect to find in a marriage. He isn’t a man or a father because his name is on someone’s birth certificate; he is a man and a father because he is a teacher, a role model and an advisor to his children. Or maybe not to his kids, because he didn’t want kids, or he couldn’t have kids.

But to somebody.

We all have that friend, the trusted counselor, the pep talk giver, the “pull yourself

together, I know you’re better than this� lecturer who pushes each of us to be a more excellent version of ourselves every time we need it most. If you haven’t found that person, start looking — everybody needs that somebody.

For some people, that’s their biological dads, for some it’s a stepfather, an uncle, a biological/step/fraternity brother, a coach, a significant other, a roommate, a friend, a mother, a biological/step/ sorority sister — wait. Hold on a minute. Wait one darn second.

Women can do this too?

What a surprise. A person who is capable and wants to “carr[y] certain convictions that he does not stray from,â€? a person who “knows his own mind and makes rational decisions‌ makes commitments and keeps his word,â€? a person who “leads with quiet assurance and a strong sense of purpose and faithâ€? doesn’t have to be a father. They don’t have to be a husband. They don’t even have to be in possession of a Y chromosome.

They just have to be a quality human being who treats themselves and those around them with respect, honor and dignity and does their personal best every day, in the best way they know how.

So I agree with you, Mr. McClaran. Those kinds of people are in desperately short supply. And I would say SMU has the opportunity to create many of those kinds of people with the entrance of your freshman class and the current student body — a college campus is a limitless ocean of untapped potential waiting to transform and be transformed by time spent at a great university like this one. I personally think that this kind of growth must be a conscious effort, only attempted by the brave of heart, those willing to “lead their peers honorably,� and those who don’t fear what change can bring. But I think every Mustang can grow through their time at SMU and ultimately, after changing themselves, change the universe.

After all, there’s a billboard off 75 that says just that‌ “world changers shaped here.â€?

So don’t ask your fellow boys to man up.

Ask your fellow students to Pony Up.

GUEST COLUMN

Administrators discuss living responsibly DR. LORI S. WHITE SAMANTHA THOMAS Early this fall, SMU Student Senators adopted a Values Statement founded on strong guiding principles: “I, as a citizen of the SMU Community, commit myself to upholding the values of intellectual integrity, academic honesty, personal responsibility and sincere regard and respect for all SMU students, faculty and staff.�

This statement is important, and student leaders are to be commended for their thoughtfulness and hard work on this issue. Each of us at SMU is responsible for creating a supportive and healthy environment in which all of us can pursue our goals and achieve our fullest potential. We all pledge to uphold the values and standards of behavior outlined in University policies including the Code of Conduct. We are expected to treat one another with care and to live responsibly.

What does it mean to live responsibly at SMU? Living responsibly means supporting one another by making sure everyone arrives home safely after a party. It means calling 911 when you see someone in danger because of drinking or drug use.

It is urging a friend who has experienced sexual assault to go to the hospital and call police as soon as possible.

In dating and relationships, living responsibly means clearly communicating your limits on physical contact and always

respecting your partner’s limits.

It is drinking in moderation or abstaining from drinking because risk increases significantly when your judgment or your partner’s judgment is impaired. It means being aware that many sexual assaults reported on college campuses involve students who know one another.

Living responsibly means getting involved in efforts to prevent sexual assault and speaking out against attitudes that support it.

It means knowing that sexual assault is a violation of University policy and a federal law called Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as well as a crime under Texas law that is punishable by imprisonment.

The concept of living responsibly has evolved through the work of the President’s Task Force on Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures, whose members included students, faculty, staff and community experts. During its deliberations last year, the Task Force invited and received input from the SMU community and external experts, and in May the group made 41 recommendations for new initiatives and refined procedures.

SMU has implemented many recommendations, including increased education for all community members on sexual assault prevention, reporting procedures and resources that are here to support students in case of sexual assault. Other recommendations are being

developed with the input of students, faculty and staff. For example, the Department of Psychology and the Health Center are collaborating on a research-based bystander intervention program to train students how to help peers who may be in high-risk situations.

Going forward, we will continue to evaluate and refine these policies and procedures, which are so important for our community’s safety and well-being.

Any reports of assaults are deeply concerning to all of us at SMU. SMU Police coordinate with external law enforcement agencies in the criminal investigation of assault cases, while the SMU Title IX Coordinator conducts an internal investigation under University policy.

We want a campus where no one experiences sexual misconduct.

However, in examining this issue at universities across the country, the Task Force learned that sexual assault reports often rise when a university increases education about reporting procedures and resources. The Task Force urged SMU to be an environment in which students come forward to get help and report violations, in which violators are held accountable, and in which all students are treated fairly.

All of us can support that environment by making sure we are aware of resources that have staff who are trained in this issue, including: Confidential resources:

Please join in and speak up for living responsibly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In response to “SMU in need of more menâ€? by Mac McClaran According to McClaran, “properâ€? men must have a family (Ă la Leave it to Beaver), we must be the heads, the breadwinners, the stoic leaders — we must be patriarchs.

That’s what McClaran is advocating: a patriarchal manhood that’s inherently heterosexual, and moreover, aggressively predicated on female subordination.

His trite claim about feminism leaving “men utterly powerless� exposes his position: In his eyes, manhood has been threatened by changes

generated from the Women’s and LGBTQ Rights Movements — and the only way to protect it, is to reconstruct the oppressive systems that devalue women as objects (i.e., incubators), derides queerness, and positions straight, affluent men as the ruling class.

To this I say: My masculinity won’t be confined to institutions such as marriage; nor stand in opposition to, or be a “pursuit� of women. Yes, I do hope this manhood is decaying; that McClaran’s men are sparse. They aren’t virile — only virulent.

Samuel Partida Jr. SMU senior

In response to “SMU in need of more men� by Mac McClaran Bluntly put, just about the only thing you need to reach adulthood is maturity. Not success, matrimony, independence, or any of these concepts we like to attach to it.

What my family taught me was that maturity means thinking of more than you. This goes for everything.

You have a free night, and you ask “What do I want to do�.

Most will try and find a party.

But honestly, the only one that

benefits from going hog wild is you. When I wake up and consider my actions of the day before, I think to myself “Am I headed in the path that will attempt to realize everyone’s hopes and dreams for me? Would the people who raised and influenced me be proud?�

When you consider how you reflect those who came before you and strive and act purely for others, you are acting like a true adult.

Meadows debuts humorous play MICHELLE HAMMOND A&E Associate Editor mhammondtova@smu.edu People gathered around SMU’s Greer Garson Theatre at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday for the theatre department’s production of Clare Booth Luce’s iconic feminist play “The Women.�

Luce was a journalist, playwright and congresswoman known for her sarcasm and wit. “The Women� was her hit play on Broadway in 1936. It has since been adapted into a movie directed by George Cukor in 1939 and, more recently, one in 2008 directed by Diane English starring Meg Ryan and Eva Mendes.

The play tells the story of a group of women who face the

Pusha T wants you to know his power.

The VA rapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been shouting praises onto himself since Clipseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breakthrough album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord Willinâ&#x20AC;? (2003).

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not off â&#x20AC;&#x201C; together with brother No Malice, Pusha set the standard for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;00s coke rap with Clipseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hell Hath No Furyâ&#x20AC;?

(2006), high-art against a rushing wave of dance crazes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Name is My Nameâ&#x20AC;? aims to prove Pusha can deliver that same artful hip-hop on his own.

The highs are high here.

Pusha has been rapping with an increasing passion since his solo jaunt at his former mystique, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re left with some great performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Numbers on the Boardâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nosetalgiaâ&#x20AC;? featuring a shimmering-through-the-earbuds Kendrick Lamar catch Pusha at his best, spitting raw over wonky production.

Wonky beats have always been Pushaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend, adding warmth and color to make his vocals sound even colder.

Old friend and producer Pharrell is responsible for the

space western funk on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suicideâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;S.N.I.T.C.H,â&#x20AC;? while â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hold Onâ&#x20AC;? has vitamin water synths courtesy of Hudson Mohawke.

Pushaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long promised quality on this album.

Quality isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the issue, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas.

Marketing oneself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;student of rapâ&#x20AC;? is one thing, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the challenge of going against the grain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Name is My Nameâ&#x20AC;? sounds almost too studied at times.

Songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let Me Love Youâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;40 Acresâ&#x20AC;? hit the right notes so to speak, but lack the urgency to be memorable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweet Serenadeâ&#x20AC;? features a bland hook from an increasingly boring Chris Brown.

Features here are fine otherwise, although another â&#x20AC;&#x153;look at me freeformâ&#x20AC;? verse from Big Sean will earn a wince or two.

Pusha is an exceptional writer who delivers OK to good solo albums.

Perhaps heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying too hard to live up to predecessors instead of looking within, or maybe art director Kanye West should encourage him to be bolder.

Maybe one day Pusha will be as unhinged and striking as his album cover suggests, but meatand-potatoes Pusha is cool, too.
