Students compete to build largest toy Jehadu Abshiro Contributing Writer jabshiro@smu.edu The Grand Atrium of Caruth Hall was transformed into a construction zone complete with caution tape, hard hats and guide wires over fall break, as five student teams competed to create the prototype for the largest toy in the world. The winning prototype will be built 120 feet tall, about 11 stories high, in the National Building Museum in Washington D.C. September 2014. The winning team will be given an all expense paid trip to the National Building Museum to participate in the event. The students will also be featured in the Guinness World Records. “We were looking for an event where one of the main focus[es] is to do something big,” General Manager of WABA Shannon Gray said. “What better way than to build the biggest toy?” WABA Fun LLC, a company that creates and sells toys, approached SMU’s Lyle School of Engineering with the task as part of the Immersion Design Experiences. “We knew about Lyle and when we started to mine for schools to partner with, the Innovation Gym came up and it was a perfect fit,” Gray said. The Immersion Design Experiences, ranging from three to 10 days, is part of the Innovation Gym. IDE requires students to design, fabricate, build and test a

prototype that solves their assigned problem. The students then present their solution to a panel of faculty and industry for judging. “We thought it would be a fun event and students will be challenged in a whimsical way,” Innovation Gym Director Greg Needel said. The five teams, Pony.Up, OctaAwesome, Helix Castle, Failing Faster and Ambiguous Case used the WABA toy Superstructs to create three-story-tall prototypes over the course of four days. WABA gave the teams 20,000 toys to construct their prototypes, with each team receiving 4,000 toys. “I had some preconceived notion what it was going to be like based on the students and what was effectively a toy, but it blew my expectations out of the water,” Professor Mark

Fontenot, department of computer science and engineering, said. The winning structure, built by team Octa-Awesome, was built from the top down in a layer process. The team created sections of the tower and then systematically attached them by lifting sections from the balcony of Caruth Hall. “The tower was inspired by structural efficiency,” Caleb Pool, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering and mathematics, said. Pool, along with junior Michelle Kim, sophomores Christina Chase and Andrew Halverstadt will oversee WABA employees construct the toy at the museum’s September 2014 Big Build Festival and they have the option to help. “The experience was overwhelming,” Pool said. “This

IDE was different. It was challenging because we were taking a kids toy to greater heights.” Team Ambiguous Case only had two engineering majors as part of their team. Josh Oh, a music major, and James Jang, finance major, joined the team because they were available over the break. “They were both really creative,” said sophomore Eileen Guo, a team member and mechanical engineering major. “We were so structural and it helped to have different minds.” The winning team will be required to continue to design their prototype until the build. The remainder of toys will remain in the Innovation Gym for other students to use and may be featured in future projects. All participates of the event were awarded a $200 scholarship.

FiR Kerins brings film, children to campus Katy Roden Editor-in-Chief kroden@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 five of 11 FiR profiles. Film professor Mark Kerins knew he wanted to apply for the Faculty-in-Residence program at the very first development committee meeting years ago, simply because “it sounded like fun.” Kerins earned bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and math at a small liberal arts college in Indiana where he enjoyed the small classes and interaction with faculty, which he hopes the Residential Commons model will provide. “The times I’ve enjoyed most as a faculty member have been working with students beyond the classroom,” Kerins said. Kerins has a master’s degree and Ph.D. in radio/TV/film from Northwestern University. He thinks his field will give him an advantage relating to students and plans to create resident programming around films, which he said “you can talk to anyone about.” Kerins, his wife, who is a professor at Eastfield College in Mesquite and their two-year-old twins will move into MorrisonMcGinnis RC next fall. Kerins said students are always excited to see his children on campus. “I think on a college campus you get a particular age range of faculty and narrow age range for students,” he said. “It seems to be exciting when there’s somebody from a different age range than you usually see.” Kerins hopes that the RC model

will integrate student life. “I think there’s a tendency in college to think of it as two different things,” he said. “There’s the college experience of students’ first time away from home and being out more independently. And then there’s the classroom side. I think those two can get separated. “I’m hopeful what the Residential Commons can do is, not completely erase the fact that there are those two areas. I think that’s true in everybody’s life — a home element and a work or school element. But [I hope the RC] ties it together that the college experience and your academic work are part of the same thing and can influence each other.” Kerins admitted that there may be days he regrets selling his home to live with college students, but that a much larger majority of his FiR years will be a positive experience. “I think like any new program — and let’s be honest this is a massive new program that’s going to change a lot of things across the university — there’s going to be growing pains,” he said. “Part of our job as the first group of Faculty-in-Residence is going to be to iron those out and try some things knowing that not all of them will work.”

Warren commission members visit SMU Lauren Aguirre Contributing Writer lcaguirre@smu.edu Six members of the Warren Commission participated in a two-part panel in Umphrey Lee’s Mack Ballroom Friday. The event was organized by the SMU Tower Center for Political Studies along with the SMU Dedman School of Law and the Sixth Floor Museum. The members discussed their roles on the Commission and its ultimate findings. To an audience of about 300, the Commission members reasserted their original conclusion: that one man, Lee Harvey Oswald, carried out the assassination of President John Kennedy and that there was no conspiracy. Formally titled “The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy,” the Warren Commission took its unofficial name from its chairman, Chief Justice Earl Warren. President Lyndon Johnson created the Commission in 1963. The first part of the event featured five Warren Commission members. These included three men who had served as assistant counsel, Judge Burt Griffin, Professor David Slawson and Howard Willens;

and two former staff members of the Commission, Justice Richard Mosk and Justice Stuart Pollak. This group discussed the processes of the Commission and how its conclusions came about. “We presided over the most extensive criminal investigation ever conducted in the United States,” Willens said. A total of 552 witnesses provided testimony. This included the sworn testimony of 94 witnesses, 395 depositions, 61 affidavits and two written statements. On the basis of all this, Willens said, “the Commission would shape its conclusions.” In addition to the testimonies, the Commission also examined the plausibility of a conspiracy. Slawson worked on this part of the investigation. Among other points, Slawson researched Lee Harvey Oswald’s possible connection to Russia. After Oswald’s death, the Commission found a private diary that Oswald had kept of his adult life. In the diary, Slawson said, Oswald “recorded that he had made up his mind while he was in the Marine corps” to defect to Russia. Oswald did spend some time in Russia, but eventually came back to the United States.

“We studied all of this as best we could to see if there was anything sinister about it,” Slawson said, “and the final decision was negative.” There was no conspiracy. The Commission’s findings were given to Johnson on Sept. 24, 1964. They concluded that, “there was one shooter, he [Oswald] acted alone [and] he acted without the involvement of any other person,” Pollak said. The second part of the event introduced Jay Vogelson, another former member of the Warren Commission staff, and four SMU professors. This group had the chance to pose their own questions to the Commission members about the Commission’s methods and conclusions. SMU English Professor Tom Stone voiced his concerns with certain procedures the Commission took during the investigation. It was his understanding that no one on the Commission inspected the autopsy X-rays and photos, Stone said. Willens addressed Stone. “The autopsy X-rays and photographs were seen by [Warren],” Willens said. However, he also added, “In retrospect, it was a mistake not to enable those materials to be used by at least one of the autopsy doctors”

during their testimony. This would have given the doctor an opportunity to give a more grounded statement. The Commission’s investigation was not perfect, but “the thoroughness, the intensity and the desire of everybody involved…to serve the truth and to lay out the whole story was unquestionable,” Pollak said. Willens believes that the Commission’s findings have “withstood the test of time.” This sentiment was echoed by several of the panelists. “Nothing, in my judgment, has come to light in the almost 50 years since the report that casts any credible doubt on the ultimate conclusions to which the Commission came,” Pollak said. The main voice of the Commission is in its report, an 889-page volume that lays out the extensive investigation, but seeing the Commission members speak presents a different aspect apart from their conclusions. “[The panel] has been very eyeopening,” SMU senior Brandon Bub said. “The… experience of listening to the people involved, [and] getting an idea of what they did is a humanizing way to look at [the Warren Commission].”

MILLY founder showcases collection, shares advice Danielle Deraleau Contributing Writer dderaleau@smu.edu Last week Michelle Smith, the founder and head designer of MILLY, showed her new fall and holiday collection at Neiman Marcus in NorthPark Center. The private event in the store allowed guests to preview the line that will be arriving soon. “I enjoy designing for fall,” Smith said. “There’s a lot of components you can play with; a lot of layers that you can’t necessarily do as well or as easily in a spring collection. There are jackets and vests and bits of fur and fun pieces. I just sort of anticipate what I’m tired of wearing and what I’m excited to wear next.” The collection showcased prints designed by Smith. It also featured clothes with leather details or touches of shine, luxurious sweatshirts and sheath dresses with a twist. “I think [this collection] is very sophisticated and feminine, but with an edge to it,” Smith said. “I love to take classics and sort of turn them on their head. Like, take a classic pencil skirt and cut it out of a fantastic hologram leather.” Smith began the show by thanking everyone for coming and talking about how she began in fashion design. She said she had

always wanted to be a designer from the time she was little. “Around the age of 11 my art really turned into the form of fashion illustration. From there I became very focused on fashion design specifically. I got a scholarship to take weekend art classes at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia when I was in high school. This was when I lived in New Jersey, so I would take the train and go to the big city on the weekends. As a high school girl, it was really fun,” Smith said. “Then I decided I wanted to go to FIT in New York against the wishes of my parents, because they wanted me to go to a traditional university. But I’m just lucky it worked out okay. I worked part-time at Hermes in New York to help pay for school. That lead to an internship in Paris with Hermes and that’s when I decided to live there [to] continue my education.” Smith enjoys using both prints and color in her collections. She recently returned from a trip to Paris where she was looking at fabrics for a new season. “For me, [the inspiration] starts with the fabrics and color. When I get back from the fabric show in Paris about two weeks later I receive all the swatches that I ordered,” Smith said. “There are thousands of swatches. I start making piles and collages on big boards and I build

from there. It’s much more about an impulse, sort of a gut reaction, the way I design.” Smith also showed a collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in September. She said that a life in fashion never stops. “Fashion week was great. It’s such an exciting time. It’s sort

of like a pressure cooker; all this pressure builds up and excitement and then the show lasts nine minutes. It’s so fast. Right after the show, a few days later, I was in Paris for the fabric shows for fall 2014. I show a new collection

I’m doing a designer challenge. I filmed it during the summer. It was professional, the way they came into my studio with camera crews and those tracks for the cameras to slide on like they were making a movie. They just set up so quickly and then they break down so fast. It’s amazing. It’s a very well oiled machine.” During the show at Neiman Marcus the guests took pictures and admired the clothes on the racks. One of the sales associates said many of the guests told her they wanted her to let them know when the pieces came in. “I think [the girl I design for] is a girl who’s educated and loves fashion,” Smith said. “She gets the references and the clothes. I think the bottom line is that every woman wants to look beautiful and sexy. “[My best piece of fashion advice is] don’t follow every trend. Not every trend is right for every body type. People should buy clothing that flatters their body and not wear clothing that’s too tight. Even if you’re a size zero and you buy a tight dress, it’s not going to look good. Buy clothes that fit properly and follow the trends that flatter you.”

The centerpiece of the FAILE exhibit is an impressive 14 feet tall.

FAILE takes over Dallas Contemporary museum Michelle hammond Associate A&E Editor mhammondtova@smu.edu If you’re into contemporary pop art, where graphics and vibrant colors take center stage, the FAILE: Where Wild Won’t Break exhibit in The Dallas Contemporary art museum is a must see. Located in the Design District of Dallas, Dallas Contemporary is an open exhibition space that prides itself in presenting Dallas art fanatics with new, original art from both regional and international artists. FAILE: Where Wild Won’t Break, one of their newest installations, is a collaboration between Brooklyn-based artists Patrick Miller and Patrick McNeil. The installations have quickly made themselves known in the contemporary art world thanks to the artists’ use of different materials, images and technology. Standing before all those bright colors makes it hard to look away, and the different media incorporated into each piece like copper and wood is the kind of stuff that makes you squint, take a step closer, and really draws you near. This is especially true for the centerpiece of the exhibit, a 14-foot tower covered in some of FAILE’s signature imagery. It includes everything from a fun, funky looking horse to a dancing wolf, several images of cars and different phrases and an octopus carrying a ballerina. The color scheme and images are reminiscent of something you might see in a comic book. Many of the characters in the images are positioned in a way that alludes to the idea of superheroes. The tower also includes a couple of Texas themed pictures from things that inspired Miller and McNeil after their recent visit to Dallas. Part of the FAILE exhibit also includes the hallmark prayer wheels, which are interactive pieces. The prayer wheels made

their debut in 2008. They are medium sized wheels hand carved from merbau, an Indo-Pacific hardwood. Inspired from ancient Tibetan practices, the audience is allowed to turn the wheel and see a special series of images. The wheels are meant to be an experience that resembles a form of story telling. FAILE opened in Dallas Contemporary Sept. 21 and will be around until Dec. 22 with free admission. It’s a fun, lively collaboration that is sure to please all audiences.

The Austin City Limits music festival is a yearly event in Austin, Texas that thousands of people look forward to each year. Every fall, over 100 bands play in Austin’s Zilker Park. Tickets often sell out soon after going on sale months in advance. ACL has grown so popular that one weekend per year wasn’t cutting it for festivalgoers. For the first time in 12 years, ACL took place over two weekends instead of one. After nine consecutive years of tickets selling out, the festival planners decided to extend the length of ACL to accommodate more fans. The first weekend took place Oct. 4 to Oct. 6 and the second weekend started Friday and was scheduled to continue through Sunday. Headliners for both weekends included Depeche Mode, The Cure, Muse, Kings of Leon, Phoenix, Wilco, Vampire Weekend, The National,

Passion Pit, Lionel Richie and other artists. This year, the second weekend fell over SMU’s fall break, making it the perfect opportunity for students to head to Austin for the three-day event. “The best band of the weekend was Kings of Leon by far,” firstyear Emily Fann said. “I was initially disappointed when they didn’t play my favorite songs but then a dramatic encore followed by a ridiculous amount of rain made ‘Sex on Fire’ and ‘Use Somebody’ the top performances of the weekend.” While the rain on Saturday evening made the concerts memorable, it also caused the

festival to wrap up early in Zilker Park. Heavy rain, thunderstorms and flash flooding led the final day to be cancelled. Over 40 acts were scheduled to perform on Sunday, including headliners Lionel Richie and Atoms for Peace, both of which were fan favorites during the first weekend. “Sunday being cancelled put a damper on my weekend because I was looking forward to hearing a lot of the artists,” junior Stephanie Lau said. “There’s not too much to do in Austin when it’s pouring rain since a lot of things to do and see are outdoors,” she added.

Organizers posted on the festival’s website that a third of the ticket price will be refunded to ticket buyers based on the original price paid. “Our first priority is always the safety of our fans, staff and artists. We regret having to cancel the show today, but safety always comes first,” Shelby Meade, the festival’s promoter, said in the statement. Despite the fact that ACL was shorter than expected, students still enjoyed Friday and Saturday and look forward to returning to ACL next fall. “Now I really want to go back next year to experience the full three days,” Lau said.

Confessions of an SMU truck driver patrick norwood Contributing Writer pnorwood@smu.edu The average vehicle is about 13.5 feet. My truck, whom I have dubbed “George,” is 18.2 feet. So now that you know, physically my truck is longer, on average, by half of another vehicle’s length. And while the truck has its benefits, usually it is a small, private hell for me here at SMU. Okay, maybe I’m being dramatic. But think about all those little quick moves you can pull in and out of traffic; I don’t get to do those. Think of all the compact car spaces you get to squeeze into; I couldn’t fit there if I tried. Everything I do must be given extra time and berth. And while I can try to give you as much notice as possible (believe me, I use my turning signal religiously), you still have to respect the size of the truck. The other day, I was rolling out of the commuter lot. I looked up and down the street, observed the lane I would be getting in, and proceeded to get in the lane to turn down Airline. The second I pulled out, a car zipped toward me coming from the opposite lane. It was a certain political science professor who shall not be named, but let’s say he wasn’t very happy with my choice of vehicular maneuver. Now, I’m not going to say anyone is at fault; I’m just going to say that maybe you should be a bit more considerate of the larger truck. Because let’s say he did run recklessly into my vehicle. Mine probably would’ve been much

better off than his. Mine is built for the rough and tumble. If the zombie apocalypse ever happens, my truck is going to be much more useful because of its durability (as well as its large bed for carrying supplies). But back to the point at hand: you have to be aware of the extra time needed to carry out certain things in a truck. And I’m not saying that this inherently makes you a bad driver. It just makes you a liability on the road. Take braking, for example. My truck is larger, and therefore has more momentum when it gets going. If I’m being cautious, I’m going to slow down long before a stoplight or stop sign because I have that extra momentum and also am not too fond of ruining my brake pads prematurely. The person behind me may not be paying attention, texting or fiddling with something, and wham! We have ourselves a problem. Not to mention the extra caution I have to take while I’m turning and I have an extra five feet of truck behind me; meanwhile, two cars executed the same turn I was. But now I suppose it’s time for my confession: I love my truck anyway. I’ve had the thing since I was 16, its milesper-gallon sucks, it is very unforgiving, I cannot start to park anywhere before having a mini heart attack about trying to fit, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Norwood is a sophomore majoring in political science and philosophy.

SMU head coach June Jones gestures towards the field during the second half of an NCAA football game against Rutgers at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013. Rutgers defeated SMU 55-52 in triple overtime.

Keeping up with the Joneses never been easier jackson cade Contributing Writer jcade@smu.edu Even though it was the Mustangs’ bye weekend, they arguably suffered their worst loss of the season: June Jones is still the head football coach. I can’t believe it, Doak Walker’s ghost can’t believe it, but even more importantly, Rick Hart, the athletic director, can’t believe it. I can only assume Rick Hart was licking his chops to fire Jones after the Rutgers game, believing they were going to get embarrassed at home for the third straight time this season (yes, beating Montana State by one point is embarrassing unless you’re the Jacksonville Jaguars). Firing Jones going into a bye weekend would have been perfect; two weeks is more than enough time for Larry Brown to get the Mustangs ready for Memphis. However, our “Longhorns’ sloppy seconds” Garrett Gilbert did his best Johnny Manziel

impression and sent the game into overtime, destroying Hart’s plan to ironically hand Jones a pink slip during breast cancer awareness month. Good going, Gilbert! I would have still fired him after the game. However, I don’t have a Hart of gold. Nonetheless, let’s face the facts; unless SMU wins the American Amateur Conference (no, that is not a mistype), the June bug is going to be squashed at the end of the season. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Jones is on the hot seat: we are 1-4 this year with our only win being against the Montana State Bobcats (a school who has an endowment valued less than my watch). The “Garret Gilbert Experiment” has gone exactly like Longhorn fans thought it would, and most importantly, we still haven’t forgotten the Arizona State-June Jones love affair that ESPN exposed like it was doing an episode of “Cheaters.” Each weekend we pretend to

have forgotten these things, but I just can’t anymore. Besides the Rutgers game, we have lost by an average of twentysix points. Yes, I understand two of those teams are in the Big 12 and one is in the SEC, but all three of those schools are filled with kids who I used to tease and make fun of in high school (have you been to Lubbock? No, because you probably have dreams). That’s what kills me the most: June Jones is letting me look like a fool for choosing to go to SMU. We all need to stop pretending that we don’t go to a school in the state of Texas (I’m specifically calling you out, California kids), In Texas having the best football team is like being the proudest kid in the locker room, but as of late June Jones has made us the kid who showers with his underwear on, when it should be those nerds at Rice. Maybe Rick Hart has a different plan of how he wants to squash the June bug, or maybe he wants us to just

become a basketball school like the University of Texas, or maybe he’s waiting for Sherwood Blount to come back before he does anything. I just don’t know; he hasn’t returned any of my voicemails. All I can hope for is that in the next couple of weeks I’ll be seeing Jones on “College GameDay” talking about how he got fired. Whatever the case may be, Rick Hart has his work cut out for him. We already know we are going to be competing with USC for a head coach, and there is also a good possibility we will be competing against Texas, too. Oh, wait a second, what am I talking about? I forgot it’s not 1983. Who knows where I can pre-order my basketball season tickets for the next four years? When all is said and done, my only request, Mr. Hart, is just don’t hire someone that has ever worn a Hawaiian shirt, unless it’s Jimmy Buffet. Cade is a junior majoring in advertising.

Five key players from Memphis to watch for billy embody Staff Writer wembody@smu.edu QB Paxton Lynch The first-year quarterback unseated Jacob Karam, last year’s starter, and has had an up and down year so far. Lynch has shown improvement, passing for 200 yards in two straight games after not reaching the 200-yard mark in his first three starts. While Lynch only has two touchdowns on the year compared to five interceptions, he’s completing close to 60 percent of his passes. SMU will have to pressure Lynch early to force some bad decisions from the young signal caller. RB Brandon Hayes Hayes has had a solid 2013 campaign so far, rushing for 379 yards on 72 carries, but only has two touchdowns on the season. Hayes’ only 100-yard game on the season came in their only win,

against Arkansas State. Needless to say, SMU must stop Hayes from establishing the run early so that the Mustangs can force Memphis to beat them through the air. Hayes is averaging 5.26 yards per carry and the SMU defense will need to step up to stop Hayes and the rest of the Memphis backfield.

loss and 6.5 sacks. Ifedi is a tough matchup at 6-foot-3, 265 pounds and has enough size to move inside along the line on passing situations, which is where SMU is going to have to watch him. It’s no secret that SMU loves to pass the ball so if SMU can limit Ifedi to just a sack on the day, that will be a win for the offensive line.

LB Tank Jakes DB Bobby McCain The junior linebacker leads the team in tackles, 30, is second with 5.5 tackles for loss and also has two sacks on the season. Jakes also comes in with a lot of momentum after a nine tackle, 2.5 tackles for loss performance against Houston last weekend. SMU’s offensive line has struggled so the group will have to be able to keep an eye on Jakes especially against the run. DL Martin Ifedi Do-it-all defensive lineman Martin Ifedi has made a considerable impact so far this season for the Tigers with 29 tackles, 10 tackles for

The Oxford, Ala., native will be charged with locking down the SMU passing game that is coming off a record setting performance. McCain has good enough size at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds to be able to match any of the SMU receivers. With two interceptions on the year, including one for a touchdown and three passes broken up, quarterback Garrett Gilbert has to be smart about when he throws the ball McCain’s way. If SMU’s receivers can win their matchup with McCain, Gilbert will be able to direct a solid offensive attack this weekend.

SMU back to even after 1-0 loss Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu It was a close one, but the Lady Mustangs’ high-octane offense was held in check for the second straight game as Rutgers outlasted SMU to escape with a 1-0 win on Sunday afternoon. The loss marks the third time this season that SMU has been shut out. The troubling truth behind that stat is that five of the Mustangs last six matches have been decided by one goal. During that span, SMU is 2-4. SMU’s record is now 7-7-0 (2-40 American Athletic Conference).

Courtney Smith who had two goals in the 2-1 win over Cincinnati a week ago, had a free kick opportunity in the last two minutes just to the right of the box. Smith’s shot came close to tying the score but rebounded to teammate Rikki Clarke. Clarke managed to control the rebound and take a second shot at the equalizer, but Rutgers goalie Jessica Janosz made the save. Rutgers put the pressure on SMU early; less than two minutes in, Erica Skroski put the Scarlet Knights up by one after securing a loose ball and shooting past SMU keeper Lauryn Bodden. “We didn’t start the way we wanted to,” Head Coach Chris

Petrucelli said. “I think it woke us up and we played better after that.” In the 84th minute, Clarke had another opportunity to tie the game with a quick shot that just sailed a little too high. “If we play with the kind of effort we played with for most of the game we can win any game we’re in,” Petrucelli said. With losses to Rutgers and Memphis, it is the first time since early last season that SMU has lost consecutive games. SMU will begin a three-game home stand with a match against Houston on Friday at 7 p.m. CT. at Wescott Field.

firing line NFL games and college are two completely different animals as far as how fans feel about their teams. It seems to me that a school with any bit of history, and SMU has that history, has a fan base constantly screaming for bigger and better things from their team. We need to be held more accountable as members of this prestigious institution that has housed Doak Walker, Forrest Gregg and Eric Dickerson. Let’s take more pride in having a football team that has a real name to back it up. Never forget the great players who have walked and will walk through the tunnels on Saturday afternoon. It’s on you, the fans, to bring back SMU’s former glory and rekindle the fire of an atmosphere that once had the rest of the southwest quaking in their boots. -Matthew Costa, Associate Sports Editor

SMU sophomore forward Leobardo Vazquez (19) receives a pass in a game against Houston Baptist on Aug. 24.

Vazquez’s big day leads to Mustang win over Cincinnati Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu On Sunday, SMU sophomore Leobardo Vazquez netted his first career hat trick to lead the Mustangs to a 3-1 win over Cincinnati. The victory improved the Mustangs to 2-1-1 in league play and 3-8-1 overall. When on the road, nothing is more difficult than playing from behind. It certainly helps when one player decides to take over the game and provide all the offensive power one could dream of. “We went down early, which is a difficult situation to be in on the road,” Head Coach Tim McClements said. “Our guys responded well and played really good soccer and scored goals. They had a really good second half, and it’s a great night for [Vazquez] with the hat trick.” Vazquez’s performance earned him American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. The Houston native scored his three goals in a five minute span — completely erasing an early 1-0 deficit in dominating fashion. SMU’s Deshawon Nembhard, Damian Rosales, and Eddie Puskarich provided Vazquez with the assists on his goals. The Mustangs hope to take the momentum into this Sunday’s match against UCF.
