A Giddy Up cart sits outside of Hughes-Trigg waiting to take a student across campus.

Giddy Up, ‘stangs Students, staff comment on ride service hAlle levitt Contributing Writer hlevitt@smu.edu It’s 2 a.m. and SMU is dark.

It’s also cold. It’s December and many students can be found in the library making the final sprint to winter break. Lauren Mensing has been sitting outside of Fondren Library for 20 minutes, waiting for Giddy Up to pick her up and take her back to her dorm safely.

After waiting nearly half an hour, Mensing, a first-year at the time, was forced to give up on her safe ride and walk home. Luckily she had a friend to walk with.

“Every time I call Giddy Up I always get a busy signal, and if anyone does answer they either hang up or don’t come,” said Mensing, who is now a junior.

Giddy Up is the on-campus transportation system that consists of a fleet of 12 golf carts that run from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. in order to provide students with safe rides and increase security around campus.

Mark Rhodes, the director of Parking and ID Card Services, which is in charge of the Giddy Up program, is aware

of the program’s wait time and phone issues.

The program is currently in the process of hiring three new positions, with one dedicated solely to answering the phone.

This year has provided a unique challenge for the Giddy Up program as the student population on campus has doubled.

With the new Residential Commons and two-year live-on policy recently implemented at SMU, the same fleet from last year now has to service twice the amount of students.

In addition, many of the carts are electric and therefore cannot run through a full eight-hour shift without needing to be recharged.

During the day, the program has two drivers around campus to pick up students with injuries or those who look like they may be in need of assistance.

The program has also recently acquired two handicap accessible carts.

The program, which has been on campus for years, has only been run by SMU Parking Services since 2007, when they took the program over from the SMU Police Department.

After the contract was

taken over it fell to Rhodes, who is in charge of parking service and most contracts that concern transportation for SMU students. The program’s supervisor, Richard Holloway, can be found driving one of the carts around campus on most nights.

“I really do think that Giddy Up provides not only a service, but is a tremendous asset to this campus,” said Rhodes.

Rhodes is especially proud of the addition of handicapaccessible carts, for which the program received funding from the President’s Advisory Committee on the Needs of Persons with Disabilities.

Rhodes views these carts as an enormous asset to the campus and never more so than in their first months on rotation.

During the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library, these two carts helped to transport Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott, and Lex Frieden, who is credited as being the primary architect of the American with Disabilities Act, who are both wheelchair bound.

A felony warrant has been issued for the arrest of a former SMU student according to an email sent to students this afternoon.

The arrest warrant is for James Young for “allegedly punching and obstructing the breathing of a female student with whom he was acquainted.”

The alleged incident occurred at 1:20 a.m. Oct. 5 in the female student’s room in the Loyd Residential Commons.

The accused is described as, “a white male, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 190 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes, and he is 22 years old.”

Anyone who sees Young is advised to contact the SMU police department immediately by calling 911 or 214-768-3333.

Senate discusses OE2C, updates brAndon brigham Contributing Writer bbrigham@smu.edu The Forum in the HughesTrigg Student Center was filled with students and the members of SMU Student Senate promptly at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday to take part in the weekly Student Senate meeting.

The meeting began with a presentation by senior Will Slack, who discussed the OE2C program’s progress on SMU’s campus and Bain & Company’s place in developing structual and academic goals for SMU’s future Bill Detwiler, OE2C project coordinator and associate vice president for business services, and two members of the Bain & Company team working on campus were also in attendance during Slack’s presentation.

The team answered student’s questions about the OE2C project, its implementation and influence on SMU in the future.

to look at the university on how to make it more efficient with spending.

“Our goal is to be a top 50 university in the next few years,” Slack said.

A presentation by Rebecca Cowle from Texas Central Railway followed Slack’s presentation. Cowle addressed the students about a highspeed rail connecting Dallas and Houston in less than 90 minutes.

Cowle said that the rail system would provide safe and quick travels from Dallas to Houston. Texas Central Railway has done studies

that show that 40,000 people commute from Dallas to Houston every week.

With the advance technology and engineering, it would be a smooth ride with two classes; first-class seating would offer luxury seating with economy seats following.

“The prices would be competitive with Southwest’s ticket prices to Houston,” Crowle said.

The meeting concluded with officer reports and then committee reports.

Unconventional 5K brings shoes to local orphans Ashley Almquist Contributing Writer aaalmquist@smu.edu Running a 5K can be difficult for many, but running it with no shoes on? That’s a feat only some can say they have accomplished.

Saturday at Bachman Lake, Dallas citizens gathered to run the 4th annual Barefoot Run benefiting Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls. Adults, teens and children came to help raise funds for Buckner International’s cause.

“We collect new shoes and socks through churches, businesses and organizations all over the United States,” said Ashley Williamson, the Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls manager.

Buckner has delivered almost 3 million pairs of shoes to children in need.

“Shoes are just a great way to [...] protect children’s feet from parasites and scrapes and cuts that they can get walking on a really harsh terrain,” Williamson said.

Alexa Chung teams up with Fall Break fashion for every Tommy Hilfiger for fall jet setter’s destination Gabriella Bradley Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu Alexa Chung is a busy woman with a long resume, which includes everything from TV host to model to contributing editor at British Vogue. Now the British darling is adding another title to her ever-growing credentials: guest editor for Tommy Hilfiger.

Not sure what the title of guest editor entails? Upon assuming the new role, Chung will be giving her two cents on her favorite pieces of the American brand’s fall offerings.

This is the first month that she will be managing her favorites page and every month through January she will be selecting new merchandise to feature. The program launched Tuesday and to see the items that made the cut to appear on Chung’s top list simply go to tommy.com/alexachung.

Included in Chung’s musthave fall items for this month is a blue tinted camo silk blouse, a black and white colorblock wool sweater and the always-essential pair of leather leggings.

Chung has been a beloved dictator of street style for a while now and Hilfiger himself is very

excited about bringing her onto his team this season.

“Alexa is the true definition of an “It” girl – she’s cool, witty smart and has a great sense of style,” Hilfiger said in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily. “She knows how to mix ofthe-moment styling with classic design for a unique look that’s totally her own. Alexa will give our customers an insider’s view of her must-have pieces from our seasonal collections, all presented with shoppable content on tommy.com and in select Tommy Hilfiger stores across Europe.”

While I myself am an avid fan of Chung and her work, her recent hire may raise a certain question: for a company so hand-in-hand with the American image, why not chose someone that epitomizes, or simply hails from, our free nation?

While Chung undoubtedly has the credentials for the job and is a fashion cult favorite, her selection by a company that is “a behemoth of an American fashion brand,” as stated by Chung in the same interview, may be more intentional than it seems.

If you take a look at the 10-K annual report of PVH Corporation, the conglomerate

that owns Tommy Hilfiger, the company outlines its serious strides in a European expansion of the brand. In fact, Tommy Hilfiger saw a six percent sales increase in its European sector in 2013 alone. Is this a coincidence, or a strategic move by a traditionally American brand looking to gain some points with its European consumers?

Either way, Alexa Chung is a great person for the job and, if all goes as Hilfiger may have planned, her favorite pieces might be popping up on European buyers everywhere this fall.

If you are like me, you may find yourself throwing things into a suitcase hours before you board your flight for a big trip.

Every time I tell myself the same thing: start packing early.

Unfortunately taking a break to watch one episode of “Scandal” usually turns into watching an entire season, and the next thing I know it’s two days later and my Uber is outside ready to whisk me away.

When I fall victim to the grab-and-go method of packing, I usually arrive at my destination with a mix of completely incoherent tops and bottoms, and

heavy jackets on a beach getaway and swim suits for a ski weekend.

After too many suitcases full of random items, half that I hate and half that can’t make a complete look, I have come to the conclusion that the only successful way to pack is to pack full outfits.

To aid me in putting together stylish sets for wherever my jet set may take me, I turn to my favorite bloggers and their online fashion diaries. These fashionistas’ Instagrams offer a quick and easy fix of inspiration with just some simple scrolling.

Meet the roommates from hell SMU students tell their horror stories of living with a stranger

Staff reports It’s the oldest cliché in the books: students go off to college and become best friends with their roommates. Unfortunately, for many students, the opposite happens.

SMU Live reporters spread out across campus to uncover the bad and the ugly stories of living with a stranger. Some roommates were messy, others were rude and a few were downright disgusting.

Below is a collection of some of the best roommate horror stories, told through anecdotes and in one illustrated cartoon.

Senior marketing major Ivy Deibel entered the random roommate lottery the summer before her first year in 2011. The verdict came in July and when she opened the email from SMU housing, she started to cry. She could not pronounce the name on the screen in front of her.

Move-in day rolled around and Deibel finally got to meet her roommate, an international student from China.

“She spoke almost no English.

We could barely understand each other,” she said. “I hated being in my room.”

The roommate had poor hygiene

Christian Bender, a sports management major, got a surprise text from her roommate last January that left her and her two other roommates with an empty room in their apartment and thousands of dollars short on rent.

This roommate moved out with no warning in the middle of the year. To add insult to injury, the roommate contacted Bender’s parents along with the parents of the two other roommates. She asked each of the three parents to pay half of her rent without alerting the other parents that she was doing so. Two of the parents agreed to pay for half of the rent, making up the entire sum. The wayward roommate walked away without paying a dime.

“She emailed our parents asking them to split her part of the rent with her and they agreed,” Bender said.

“She didn’t tell them so they paid her entire rent.”

Since the ordeal, Bender and her

Bender and her roommates bought a dog, Vinny, to fill the empty space.

GIDDY UP Continued from page 1

After getting ready for a birthday dinner with her friends earlier this semester, Rachel Kennedy was running late. She knew she wouldn’t make it across campus from Lloyd Hall to where she was meeting her friends in Shuttles in time.

“I called legitimately nine times in a row and no one picked up,” said first-year Kennedy of her Giddy Up experience that night.

performing sexual acts on the floor,” said Brad, who did not want his last name used to protect the couple’s identity. “They both stopped, looked up at me and we all shared awkward eye contact.”

Brad said that he told his roommate to give him a warning if this were ever to happen again.

He said that it happened again.

and would not allow Deibel to have any visitors in their room.

The tension eventually became too much and before the semester was over, Deibel moved in with her suitemate, a change she is thankful she made.

“I would’ve had such a different year if I hadn’t switched,” she said.

understands that Giddy Up has a demand and would often rather walk.

“Unless I’m way across campus and it’s late at night, I try to walk,” first-year finance major Brandt said.

It is not possible to have every driver out every night; on most busy nights there are between four and six drivers on duty, said Rhodes.

All of the Giddy Up drivers are certified security guards in the state of Texas. Rhodes decided not to put the drivers in uniform, aside from a Giddy Up polo and khakis, because he feared more formal uniforms would

two other roommates bought a dog, Vinny, to fill the empty space. But he doesn’t take care of the financial burden their past roommate left them with.

Margie Anderson, a sophomore, got a text from her roommate telling her not to come home one night last year. The roommate was apparently having a fight with her boyfriend and didn’t want Anderson to be there.

Finally around 1 a.m., Anderson sent her roommate a warning text that she was coming back to the dorm room. But she wasn’t ready for what she walked into.

The couple wasn’t fighting, but her boyfriend told Anderson that the roommate had hit her head and was claiming to have amnesia. But, it wasn’t true; the roommate hadn’t hit her head at all.

“She was pretending to have amnesia and not remember what he said so they would stop fighting,” Anderson said.

Anderson said her roommate wouldn’t let up the act until she threatened to get the RA. Senior Lauren Jones can remember her first encounter with her first-year roommate like

deter ridership.

The point of the program is to transport students safely around campus. Even though a large part of that security comes from the drivers, Rhodes believes that drivers in uniforms would intimidate many students.

Students’ fear of getting in trouble would outweigh their desire to get home safely, and the point of Giddy Up would be defeated. Graduate students have done research on ways to maximize Giddy Up efficiency, Rhodes said.

There is even talk of an “Uberlike” app, where you could call Giddy Up to your location via

it was yesterday. Like many firstyears, eager to make new friends and escape the humdrum routine of high school, Jones decided to take her chances in the roommate lottery known as “potluck.” Jones thought her roommate would be her first college friendship but she was gravely mistaken.

After a bad breakup, Jones’ roommate threw herself into one sexually-crazed relationship after another, acquainting herself with every man on their floor.

Jones remembers one instance in particular after her roommate returned from a night out.

“She and her date went back to our room,” she said. “I woke up to them sleeping together and they didn’t stop once they realized I was awake.”

Jones, a psychology major, gritted her teeth and made it through the year. Both she and her roommate ceased communication shortly after living together and agreed to go their separate ways forever.

“She looked like an angel, but was very fake and malicious,” Jones said.

One sophomore finance major had just finished lunch after a

long day of class last spring when he decided to return to his dorm room. His plans were to relax and decompress, but his plans changed when he opened his door.

Junior Morgan Monferdini experienced first-hand that just because someone is sweet doesn’t mean she has common sense.

One morning Monferdini woke up to her first-year roommate spraying her with Off! mosquito spray. Not something she expected in her face at 6 a.m.

She discovered that her roommate had awakened in the middle of the night craving potassium.

She had eaten half a banana, leaving the rest of it to rot on the windowsill.

Ants swarmed the room, covering Monferdini’s bed and the windowsill near her head.

Linguistic study finds people are less narcissistic as they grow older

Actress Raven Symoné has been under fire by fans after a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Raven Symoné disregards ethnicity labels, identifies herself as ‘American’ Childhood actress Raven Symoné stated in a recent interview with Oprah that she is not “African-American,” but “American.”

Winfrey gave her a chance to clarify.

Symoné justifies her statement saying, “That’s what I really mean. I have darker skin. I have a nice, interesting grade of hair. I connect with Caucasian. I connect with Asian.

I connect with Black. I connect with Indian. I connect with each culture.”

Hundreds of people commented on Symoné’s statement.

A few are as follows: “Umm…Raven Symoné is Black. Period.”

“She clearly identity issues.”

has

“Raven is still living in a Disney World.”

Let me state that I don’t 100 percent agree with what Symoné is saying, but I do think that the idea behind her argument is both relevant and holds weight to a certain extent.

I do believe as an AsianAmerican living in America that there are a lot of issues labeling a person’s race or ethnicity because most assume the two terms are synonymous.

They are not.

Most people here do not know the difference, which has led

to minorities being placed in a general group despite their actual ethnicity, cultural upbringing and place of birth.

Let’s define the two. First, ethnicity is about a certain region’s culture, traditions and learned behavior. It is assimilating to the area you are living in and what you absorb from the environment around you. It is globally learned behavior.

Race is your genetic makeup.

It is your physical features; your skin color, eye and hair color, and predisposition to certain diseases constitute your race. You cannot change it.

In the interview, Symoné decided to defy all ethnic stereotypes in America by referring herself as only “American” rather than “African” or “African-American.”

She does not know what part of Africa she is from. She says her family’s roots lie in Louisiana.

She grew up being a child star on TV, embracing American culture, specifically in good ol’ Hollywood.

Her claim is technically correct regarding her ethnicity.

However, I do have an issue with the way she tried to stray away from her race.

She chose to identify herself as a colorless person rather than someone who embraces all colors. She chose to embrace cultures, but not races.

She failed to acknowledge that yes, she is black, but her race nor ethnicity is not the only thing defining her as a human; instead, she highlights her darker skin (compared to whites) and her “nice, interesting grade of hair.”

As mentioned, you cannot change your race. It is, again, your genetic makeup.

Symoné can talk about how Americanized she is, how accepting she has become of all cultures, and that we should all ethnically identify ourselves as “Americans,” but she failed in execution.

While I think her motive behind identifying herself as American only was a very small progressive step to acknowledging the problems with labeling minorities, her sketchy disregard of her own race as well as the acceptance of it irks me.

No matter what race you are, you can ethnically identify yourself to whatever culture you choose to affiliate yourself with.

But you cannot try to change your race.

Symoné should learn to accept that part before trying to convince people she is the universal symbol of equality.

Researchers for the World Well-Being Project at the University of Pennsylvania found that people are less narcissistic as they grow older.

The study used Facebook posts from 75,000 volunteers. The volunteers also took on Interpersonal Personality Item Pool (IPIP) personality test measuring ‘Big Five’ traits looking for linguistic features to correlate with those aspects of their personality.

From there, researchers looked at their use of pronouns to measure their level of narcissism.

The data collected was broken down by age group.

The study found that older Facebook users used first-person plural pronouns “we” and “our” more often than first-person singular pronouns “I” and “me.”

Younger users used first-person singular pronouns excessively compared to first-person plural pronouns.

Lead research scientist for the World Well-Being Project H. Andrew Schwartz stated that the data shows the shifts in the stages of life between younger and older users.

Individuals who are younger and newer to the world tend to use first-person pronouns until they reach a more mature age.

From there, they begin to associate in groups, such as work associates and family members (i.e. spouses and children).

This brings my mind to ease. I was beginning to worry for our generation. With the copious amount of selfles, vain tweets and humble bragging, our generation was doomed to be self-obsessed until we died.

But there is a glimmer of hope.

Somewhere in your twenties, it seems that we outgrow this ‘it’s all about me’ persona, and develop more positive traits.

A study in a Wall Street Journal article stated,

STAFF COLUMN

OLIVIA NGUYEN Opinion Editor qonguyen@smu.edu

“from the ages of 20 to 65, people report increases in positive traits, such as conscientiousness, and decreases in negative traits, such as neuroticism.”

This leads to people becoming more “agreeable, responsible and emotionally stable.”

Basically, people’s personalities improve.

We enter the real world, hold real responsibilities and learn to fend for ourselves.

We aren’t sheltered anymore.

There isn’t as much time to worry about how your hair looks or how badly you need a manicure and pedicure.

Priorities like work, relationships and financial needs overtake the vain expenditures you once needed.

This transcends to our social media whether we realize it or not.

As the study stated, we begin to use first-person plural pronouns. We stop taking selfles, and take photos with other people in them. We stray from using our phones 24/7 and become aware of the world around us.

The moment we are able to look at the world with a more objective view, then are we able to grow.

Putting ourselves aside, we grow to be empathetic for others and have a better understanding of problems greater than our own.

And that’s when we fully become active and participating members of society.

Oversized sweaters, leggings and boots. Who doesn’t love fall?

Every white girl’s guide to fall A satire on all things girls love in the fall Disclaimer: This is satire. I know all the lyrics to at least six Naked Brothers Band songs, so please don’t ever take me seriously.

OK. So, if you’re reading this, you’re either an expert at being a basic white girl or you have no idea what you’re doing.

Either way, I’ll help you.

It’s fall, and everyone knows that’s the best season. All the other seasons are stupid. How are you going to make the best of this season? I mean, it only comes once a year. You have to take advantage of it.

Here is my perfect guide for fall!

First, you have to get a pumpkin spice latte. I know. This is the most basic thing you can do; that’s why I’m putting it first. Pumpkin spice is life and haters can back off.

Next, you have to have scented candles! If you’re house doesn’t constantly smell like apples or pumpkins, how are you supposed to remember it’s fall? The only acceptable place to get your candles is Bath and Body Works. I recommend the leaves candle. I will never love a person as much as I love the leaves candle.

By the way, be sure to avoid Jen at the Appleton, Wisconsin store.

Another piece of advice: only buy food with the word “pumpkin” in it. You only have a limited time to pick up pumpkin waffles and pumpkin ice cream.

If you don’t take advantage of this opportunity, you’re going to spend the rest of the year upset that Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer Street, Suite 314, Dallas, TX 75275 The Daily Campus is published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the academic semester.

you missed out on these sacred delicacies.

Instagram every pile of leaves you see.

If a leaf falls in a forest and no one posts about it, then, like, did it even happen? The answer is no.

Always wear your Uggs.

They are comfortable. If someone tries to make fun of you, you can just kick them. It will hurt them, and you won’t feel a thing because of the fluffy padding! It’s a win-win for everyone, really.

Finally, enjoy all the holidays this season.

Coordinate a cute Halloween costume with your bestie.

You could do a solo look, but then people might think you don’t have any friends which would suck.

You obviously have a ton of friends. You’re a basic white girl.

Then on Thanksgiving, be sure to tweet how #blessed you are to be with your amazing and loving family.

Have a magical fall, b*tches!

DeChambeau earns tournament top honors Demetrio Teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu Bryson Dechambeau finished the Erin Hills Intercollegiate with a perfect final round to earn individual medalist honors and the second win of his collegiate career on Tuesday.

The SMU junior from Clovis, California finished at 4-under par for the tournament to edge out UCLA’s Manav Shah and Lorens Chan by one shot.

DeChambeau tallied three birdies and no bogeys in his final round to give him a total of 11 birdies in the tournament.

Lat year, DeChambeau tied for third at the 2013 Erin Hills Intercollegiate, despite leading for most of the final round.

“It’s great to come back from last year’s letdown and win at one of my favorite places,” DeChambeau said. “Even though we didn’t get the win I’m still proud of everyone on the team. They all fought hard and did their best. I’m not sure that any other team in the country could have played as well as UCLA did today, so hats off to them.”

SMU (No. 20) was in the lead for part of the day but surrendered the top spot to No.9 UCLA by the end of the day.

cross country

SMU cross country athlete receives honors Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu SMU cross country athlete Agnes Sjöström was named the American Athletic Conference’s Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week.

Last Friday Sjöström finished second out of 165 runners in the

5K at the 59th Annual Notre Dame Invitational. She ran a 16:17.7, which not only marked a personal best, but also the second fastest in 5K history.

Sjöström is from Köping, Sweden where she was named Ollvigymnasiet’s top cross country runner. She also Competed in the Nordic Championships in 2012 and the

2013 European Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Next up for SMU cross country is two weeks from now on Oct. 17.

They travel to Madison, Wisconsin to wrap up their regular season at the Wisconsin Invitational. Check back with The Daily Campus for results and team updates in weeks to come.

Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu Mustang fans, it’s almost time for Moody Magic!

SMU basketball held its second practice of the season in the Crum Basketball Center on Monday. This was the first practice that allowed media availability.

This season marks the Mustang’s third season under Head Coach Larry Brown who led SMU 27-10 in the 2013-14 season, which ended at the NIT championship game.

“We didn’t make a lot out of it,” Brown said. “The big thing is we got to play in a great tournament against quality teams, and when you play five games like we did in the NIT against good teams you get that practice time and it has to help. I think we have to build on that.”

SMU made the top 25 poll in four of the last five regular season polls last season. It was the first time the Mustangs were ranked since the 1984-85 season.

At the end of last season, the inaugural season for the

American Athletic Conference, SMU finished tied for third after going 12-6.

“It was a good year, but we just want to be consistent and get better,” Brown said. “We have a great schedule and a lot of terrific challenges ahead. All of the guys coming back I think have gotten a lot better.”

The Mustangs had two wins over NCAA Champion Conneticuit and wins over NCAA Tournament teams Cincinnati and Memphis.

“I doubt we’ll be the conference favorites with the national champs in our conference, but it really doesn’t matter what people think or what expectations are,” Brown said. “We just have to come to practice every day and get better.

I think we owe it to our fans and we owe it to the school.”

SMU basketball continued to break records upon records, starting by establishing a new home attendance record at 107,412. The previous record was 101,296 which was set in the 1984-85 season.

“We write the same thing on the board every day: ‘play hard, play together, play smart, have

fun’. And then Coach Smith allowed me to put down, ‘it would be nice if we defended and rebounded,” Brown said.

“That’s the identity of this team and I think it’s probably the identity of any good team.”

Last season the Mustangs defense allowed just 62.2 points per game, 24th in the NCAA and 3rd the AAC. SMU also held 23 of 37 opponents under 40 percent shooting and outrebounded 26 of 37 opponents this season.

On offense, the Mustangs led the conference in field-goal percentage, shooting 48.3 percent and 37.9 percent from beyond the arc. SMU also averaged 71.0 points per game.

“The reality is we’re getting better,” Brown said. “We look forward to going to practice and working on things that all the good teams need to do to be successful.”

SMU opens its season against Lamar in Moody Coliseum Nov. 14 at 8:30 p.m.

“November 14th will come quickly for them,” Brown said.

“But I wish we had a little bit longer so we would have more time to prepare.”

Women’s Golf

Mustangs finish seventh in Schooner Fall Classic Patrick Engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu The SMU Women’s Golf team finished seventh out of 17 teams at Schooner Fall Classic at the Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla. this past weekend.

this field so I am proud of how we did,” Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. “Some of the best teams in the country were here and we played with them.”

Junior Jenny Haglund, who won the individual American Athletic Conference title last spring, tied for fourth with a 5-under 205.

She sealed her spot by shooting a 1-under 69 on her last round.

driving the ball and her putting.

Her approach was great and she finished ahead of some really great golfers.”

Haglund’s fourth-place tie was her best result through three tournaments this fall. The only blemish during her Monday round was a bogey on the 18th hole, which caused her to fall a stroke behind third-place finisher Jessica Peng of Mississippi State. Peng’s teammate, Ally McDonald, claimed the firstplace title at 13-under.

WEDNESDAY n OCTOBER 8, 2014 dance

Brown Bag dance concerts continue until Friday chloe dinsdale Contributing Writer cdinsdale@mail.smu.edu The Meadows School of the Arts is home to some of the best dancers in the nation. In fact, a top 10 listings sight of various subjects, ZOOMtens.com, ranked Meadows number six for “10 Best Colleges for Dance Performance in the U.S.” Meadows dancers not only have amazing talent in dance, but in choreography as well.

Several times a year, dancers in the Division of Dance create their own original choreography

to showcase in the Brown Bag Series concerts.

“I love when the students get to come and see what the dance majors have been doing locked away in the basement of Meadows.” said senior dance and accounting major Megan Cotton. “It’s so up close and personal.”

Brown Bag is a lunchtime event where dancers perform about 10-15 dance numbers.

Students gather in an informal setting, either walking by to and from class, hanging over the balcony or sitting crisscross on the floor in front of the dancers.

These innovative dance works range from ballet to hip-hop to modern to jazz.

“This year’s concert will be featuring a very diverse set of dances; there is a ballet piece inspired by the 40s, a tap piece and even a tango,” said junior dance major Emma Schultz.

The series began Monday, Oct. 6 and will end Friday, Oct. 10. All performances are held in the Bob Hope Theatre Lobby in the Owen Arts Center.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s performances will be at 12 p.m. and on Thursday at 12:30 p.m.

Price is free for students.

ACL

Daily Campus photo editor Courtney Cox takes on ACL courtney cox Photo Editor cecox@mail.smu.edu ACL happened and I’m in love.

Could Sam Smith just follow me around and narrate my life? It was Friday afternoon and I was drawn to the voice of an angel at the Miller Lite stage. The acoustic version of “Latch” couldn’t have been more perfect.

Next we’re sprinting, something I reserve for special occasions, to the opposite end of Zilker Park to see Foster the People. It was still early on Friday so the crowd was smaller and easy to navigate. They played “Pumped Up Kicks,” “Houdini,” other hits and covers of other musicians’ songs.

Then things turned up – it was Outkast time. It seemed as though everyone came for the reunion.

There was nothing new since 2006 and I felt like a child again. All the hits were played: “Ms. Jackson,” “Roses,” “B.O.B.,” and “Hey Ya.” Saturday started with Iggy. She was the first performance of ACL to have backup dancers and I was

stoked. The crowd was packed and it seemed as though all the giants in Austin felt the need to stand in front of me, so we booked it to Icona Pop after a few songs.

Plenty of men in the crowd were very confused about what was going on and I was questioned as to what the duo was saying. I don’t care. I loved it.

Next was Lana Del Rey. I cried.

Nothing more needs to be said.

There was a very swift change of pace to Major Lazer and I’m pretty sure I burned more than 10,000 calories just by jumping and waving my arms like an idiot.

Slim Shady has still got it. He opened his show with an emotional package about his “stalker” from his song “Stan.” He performed all his hits, and I rapped… again, like an idiot.

We dedicated Sunday to Phantogram and fell in love with both the female and male leads. We shimmied our way up to about 20 feet from the stage and they rocked it for the entire hour.

Currently having withdrawals from awesome music, hippie clothes

and dancing my face off.

Here are some of the hilarious things I overheard at ACL...

“I was a part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers... jump rope team in first grade.”

“Hold my hand and pretend like we’re lesbians – those girls are doing it. Never mind. I don’t like this.”

“Wow, what is this porcupine thing?” It was a plant.

“Why am I sticky?”

“You should go up to Eminem and say, ‘I really identify with your lyrics about not knowing your own strength because I broke a toilet flusher this morning.’”

“Is that a balloon or the moon?” *clearly a balloon* “I’m into you, but my drunkness is taking over.”

Chance the Rapper rocks SMU riley coven Arts and Entertainment Writer rcoven@mail.smu.edu Last Sunday, Southern Methodist University’s students came out in droves to Moody Coliseum in order to see Chancelor Bennet, a rapidly rising hip-hop star who is better known by his alias, Chance the Rapper.

Even before the show’s call time at 8 p.m. the arena was packed with students and members from the surrounding community, eagerly anticipating the concert awaiting them.

They were greeted by the first opener, Young & Sick. With a feel good funk vibe, they quickly brought the crowd to their feet and began the night on a strong note.

of the room going, he kept the audience floored and as he left the anticipation was at an all time high.

After a few moments of murmuring from the crowd, the silence was broken by Chance’s signature ad lib.

A quick “AGH” from backstage was all the audience needed, and as the crowd went wild Chance ran onto the stage with the gusto of a seasoned performer and began his first song, “Everybody’s Something,” a single from his breakout mix tape, “Acid Rap.” From the first word to the last, the crowd was singing along almost as loud as Chance himself.

The show progressed smoothly and with each song performed the audience became more and more excited. Playing through his hits such as “Cocoa Butter Kisses,” “Favorite Song” and “Juice,” Chance gave off

the impression that he was having just as much fun as the crowd.

Never letting up on the emphasis for excitement, he only left the stage once, right before his encore. Upon his triumphant return, he proceeded to play a remix of another one of his hits, “Good Ass Intro.”

Stopping halfway through, Chance unplugged his earpiece and stood on the edge of the stage, listening as the crowd continued his song without missing a beat.

To finish he joined back in and as everyone finished the show together, he took his bow and left the stadium.

As the crowd funneled back outside the only conversations that could be heard were exclamations of the amazing performance they had all just witnessed and how they couldn’t wait to do it again.
