Can Mustangs stand Cougar pounce? By JORDAN JENNINGS Sports Editor jjennings@smu.edu
It’s Homecoming week on the Hilltop, and SMU has packed the weekend with events of all kinds to lead up to the Mustangs’ fourth Conference USA game of the season against in-state competition, the Houston Cougars. The teams will meet for the 25th time in history. Last season, the Cougars devoured the Mustangs 38-15 in Robertson Stadium, led by then junior Cougar quarterback Case Keenum. Keenum, who led the nation in passing and total offense in 2009 and
who ranked No.1 in total offense in 2008, will sit out the remainder of the 2010 season due to a torn ACL knee injury that occurred in UH’s game versus UCLA on Sept. 18. Houston’s backup quarterback, junior Cotton Turner, was also injured during the UH vs. UCLA game, suffering from a fractured clavicle. True freshman David Piland will start for the Cougars at Gerald J. Ford Stadium this Saturday. Piland averages 291.5 yards and has thrown five touchdown passes in two games. It is UH head Coach Kevin Sumlin’s third season at Houston, and he has yet to see the Cougars fall to the Mustangs. It is also SMU head Coach
June Jones’ third season. Houston currently ranks in the top-21 nationally in total passing and scoring offense. The Cougars are 3-3 on the season and 2-1 on conference play. The Mustangs are 4-3 on the season and undefeated in conference play. Houston holds a 14-9 record in alltime series with SMU, including a 4-1 record in C-USA play. Both teams participated in bowl games in 2009. Houston fell to the Air Force Falcons 47-20. SMU saw positive results in their first bowl game in 25 years, beating Nevada 45-10 at the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl.
Other UH standouts include junior running back Bryce Beall and leading receiver Patrick Edwards. Beall is ranked second in the conference in scoring and 14th nationally with 10 points per game. SMU’s Zach Line currently ties Beall for second in C-USA with 90.7 rushing yards per game. Line has 365 yards in seven games, while Beall has 544 yards in six. Edwards leads the team with 32 receptions for 433 yards and five touchdown passes on the season.

SMU students and people across the country have known for a while that artifacts from the George W. Bush presidency would reside in the future George W. Bush Presidential Center on our campus. However, beginning Saturday, a number of these items will be in the Meadows Museum and open to the public. Alan Lowe, director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library, gave a short tour of the small exhibit Thursday to selected media. “We want to give a sneak peak into our archival collections,” he said. The exhibit, “Breaking New Ground: Presenting the George W. Bush Presidential Center,” has been designed to show visitors a taste of what the future Center plans to offer: action-oriented initiatives and opportunities to learn of significant moments of the nation’s history. Display cases line the blue-painted walls of the exhibit’s small room. Situated under a spot light in the middle of the room is a carefully designed model of the future center. Among the miniature trees, projected tennis courts and soccer field is the building where all the plans of the Center are to take place. The building has been designed to meet LEED platinum standards by including various sustainable strategies. Plans for the actual structure continue onto the wall displays. The former president and Mrs. Bush “welcome’’ visitors with an introduction to the Center’s exhibit.

Students ‘pomp’ it up in preparing for parade By SARAH KRAMER Staff Writer skramer@smu.edu
Blaring music could be heard around the corner of North Central Expressway and SMU Boulevard as students teamed up to build floats for Saturday’s Homecoming parade. Although students are not dancing and singing to Broadway songs, they are decorating their floats in keeping with the Student Foundation’s 2010 Homecoming theme of “Broadway on the Boulevard.” Students from an array of organizations entered into a week of chaos at 6200 N. Central Expressway as they have been building and decorating their floats. The theme is Broadway Musicals, which include, among others, “Hairspray,” “Wicked” and “Mary Poppins.” The sounds of sawing, hammering, singing and laughing competed with the voices of students as they created their floats Wednesday night. “It’s really fun—slightly
overwhelming, but fun, and a lot of work,” said freshman Lauren McKaig, a member of The Union. Homecoming chairs selected options for float themes and then each one had his or her organization vote on their favorite pick. Senior member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and one of the homecoming chairs, Cassie Nelson said, “We wanted to have our musical be an original Broadway musical, not a movie that was made into a musical.” Although “Mamma Mia” was not on Pi Phi’s original list, it did not stop them from having fun. The girls sang and danced while they “pomped.” Pomping consists of poking tissue paper through chicken wire and is how all floats are decorated for Homecoming. “We want it to be the best it can be. We want an impressive float for our alumnae as well as SMU alumni,”

underprivileged to ‘Dream Big’ By SARAH KRAMER Staff Writer skramer@smu.edu
SMU students Brad Namdar and James Parker “Dream Big” as they head toward being the next TOMS. Since February, Dream Big’s website has received more than 17,500 hits from more than 15 countries. Founder of Dream Big and SMU junior, Brad Namdar “dreamed big” after being inspired by Jose Mourinho’s Dream Big video and Blake Mycoskie’s story. Mycoskie, founder of TOMS shoes, started his first business, Mustang Laundry, while attending SMU Mourinho spoke as a guest speaker at Carolyn G. Bukhair Elementary School’s Super Saturday. . “I didn’t want to just mentor one kid. I wanted to mentor 300,”
Namdar said. Namdar and co-founder James Matthew Parker started Dream Big by teaching a soccer camp to 300 children on April 10, 2010 in Vickery Meadows, a refugee community six minutes away from the SMU main campus, near NorthPark Center. Although it is just on the other side of North Central Expressway, Namdar said, “it is a world away—it has the highest crime rate.” But Dream Big, which is a forprofit organization driven by the SMU community, is more than a sports camp. Namdar and Parker, joined by volunteers, are creating a story by forming relationships with lessfortunate children in the Dallas community. “It started with a conversation—

SOCCER
Ponies blow Golden Hurricane away Men’s soccer takes a 3-2 win over Tulsa By EJ HOLLAND eholland@smu.edu Assoc. Sports Editor
The No. 6 SMU men’s soccer team put on an amazing performance and earned a 3-2 victory over No. 17 Tulsa in front of a packed house at Westcott Field on Wednesday night. “We were in a battle,” SMU head Coach Tim McClements said. “Tulsa is a very good team. I thought we came out of the gates a little bit sluggish and gave up a goal. Then we scored a very fortunate goal, so it was kind of a night of crazy goals.” “But I think that they guys hung in there and did the things that they needed to do. It was a battle from start to finish. Any time you win in the conference, you take it,” he said. The Golden Hurricane got on the board just two minutes into the game when midfielder Corey Albertson took a shot from 14 yards, which was deflected in by defender Jake Dobkins, giving Tulsa an early 1-0 lead. A little over two minutes later, the Mustangs got right back in the game with a goal of their own. SMU goalkeeper Craig Hill made a simple routine pass to junior defender Adam Still, who fired a shot that bounced over Tulsa goalkeeper Michael Murray’s head and into the net. The 75-yard goal was Still’s first of his career. “It was a little bit of luck,” Still said. “I got the ball from Craig [Hill] then I looked up, and I was trying to hit the long ball. I hit it, and it just skipped right over the keeper.” Just when it looked like both teams were going to go into halftime deadlocked at 1-1, Albertson netted in another goal for the Golden Hurricane in the 42nd minute off an assist from
defender Hunter Christiansen. “We didn’t say a ton [at halftime]. We were disappointed in the two goals that went in, and we felt like we needed to make some adjustments,” McClements said. “Tulsa is a good team; they were exploiting some weaknesses that we had so we made couple of adjustments moving guys around.” The adjustments seemed to work as junior midfielder Arthur Ivo scored the equalizer in the 62nd minute on a free kick from 40 yards out. The goal was Ivo’s sixth of the season which is second most on the team. “The ball moved a lot,” Ivo said. “I kind of got lucky the ball went right through the keeper’s hands.” SMU freshman midfielder Robbie Derschang capped a furious Mustang comeback when he scored the game winning goal in the 69th minute off an assist from Ivo. Derschang displayed excellent footwork and poise in the box allowing him to tally his fifth goal of the year. “It was a great ball by Arthur [Ivo], he saw me wide open on the counter,” Derschang said. “I dribbled by one guy and the only thing that came to mind was, ‘just have to shoot it and see what happens,’ and fortunately it went in the goal.” Tulsa threatened to score with 30 seconds left in the game following a corner kick, but Craig Hill recorded his seventh save of the game and ended a drama-filled night. “I did my job and made saves when I had to,” Hill said. “I just played behind the ball and made sure it didn’t get in the back of the net.” McClements believes Tulsa tried to key on freshman forward Juan Castillo who leads SMU with eight
goals. Castillo pressured the Golden Hurricane defense all night and opened up scoring opportunities for his teammates. “Juan [Castillo] has done really well, but we have a lot of weapons that can score and it’s nice to see it be shared around,” McClements said. “You can’t just try to shut down one guy.” The crowd of 848 at Westcott Field really energized the team, according Derschang. “It was a great atmosphere, there were so many fans and that’s what I think brought out our emotions in the second half,” he said. “I haven’t played in front of that many people in a while, and it was the crowd that really got us going.” The win moved the Mustangs to 12-1 overall on the season and 4-1 in Conference USA action. “We’ll do whatever it takes to win,” Ivo said. “If we’re coming from behind or it’s 0-0, we’re giving 100 percent to win the game and that’s why we are able to comeback every time. We just go out there and play our heart out.” SMU will head to Memphis to take on the Tigers on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Mustangs hold a 6-1-0 lead in the all-time series between the two schools. Memphis is 3-8-1 on the year and 0-4-1 in Conference USA action. “Memphis has always been a tough team for us,” McClements said. “They’re fighting for their lives in the conference, so they’re going to have their backs up against the wall. They need points, so I think they’ll come out swinging and it’ll be a difficult match.”

Director Ed Zwick talks N. Henderson Avenue: about his upcoming film Neighborhood on the rise By CHASE WADE cdwade@smu.edu A&E Intern
In September of 2009, Hollywood director Edward Zwick set out to film “Love and Other Drugs,” a romantic dramady loosely based on the life of Jamie Reidy, a drug representative for the major pharmaceutical company, Pfizer. Zwick is well-known for movies such as “Blood Diamond,” “The Last Samuri” and “Glory.” So, this movie was an entirely new monster for him, as it is his first venture into the genre of romantic comedy. The film, set in 1997, follows the life of the young salesman as he and the entire pharmaceutical world go through a metamorphosis. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the story’s main character, Reidy, the film is laced with narration that suggests society’s dependence on both over the counter and prescription drugs. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Campus, Edward Zwick explains his motives for the film and the many different decisions that went along with the making of “Love and Other Drugs.” “To be honest, this film was very fun to make,” Zwick said. “The cast and the crew made it a very enjoyable experience throughout the whole process.” “Love and Other Drugs,” although storied to take place in central Ohio, was filmed in Pittsburgh. The city, which even masqueraded as Chicago in one scene, enticed Zwick to film there for its tax incentives and other perks. “There are a lot of great advantages to shooting in Pittsburgh, the tax breaks being on them,” Zwick
said. “Although coincidentally, Pittsburgh also happens to be the pharmaceutical drugs capital of the world.” Even though the film focuses much of its attention on the world of pharmaceutical drugs, “Love and Other Drugs,” also tells the story of Reidy’s relationship with Anne Hathaway’s character, Maggie Murdock, who suffers from the onset Parkinson’s disease. The movie follows their relationship from start to finish, and surprisingly, uses sex as a storytelling tool to convey their budding romance. “I was very explicit in the script that sex was going to be a major factor in the movie,” Zwick said. “We wanted sex to be a narrative in this film.” While much of the film takes place in the beds of Reidy and Murdock, sex is only occasionally present. Zwick claims that it was intimacy, not sex that he wanted the viewer to derive from those scenes. “When a guy and girl get in bed for the first time, they spend a lot of time naked,” Zwick said. “We wanted there to be that honesty, the same way we were being honest about drugs and disease.” The film takes a major turning point when Reidy, who has almost given up on trying to meet his quota of Prozac, gets assigned to sell a new drug, Viagra. Called the “little blue pill,” Reidy’s life is taken for a spin when the demand for Viagra skyrockets the minute the pill is available to the market.
“Jamie’s book was really about his life when Viagra came to the marketplace,” Zwick said. “That was when it really became useful. However, the romance, the mother, the brother - that was all created by us.” If one were to ask Zwick what genre he would label this film, he would be hesitant to call it a romantic comedy. “Romantic comedy is one of those words that is in disrepair,” Zwick said. “Typically, you take a lot of B-list actors, put them in unrealistic situations, and the result is neither romantic nor funny.” One aspect about this film that makes it a romantic comedy in the traditional sense is the fight that the viewer witnesses between Anne Hathaway’s character’s early onset of Parkinson’s disease. “Parkinson’s was a very interesting disease to portray,” Zwick said. “While Jake’s character is in a world of quick fixes, he is faced with this disease that had no cure and still to this day, is very hard to treat.” Even though “Love and Other Drugs” may be tinged with seriousness and drama, Zwick approaches the heavy topics with a different approach, humor. “It can’t be funny enough,” Zwick said. “Humor is a way to deal with everything in my opinion. The most serious situation should be looked at humorously.”
“Love and Other Drugs” will hit theaters on Nov. 24.

Students wonder: where is the Human Rights major? COMMENTARY
As a senior in the Embrey Human Rights Program, I am often asked, “When is human rights going to become a major at SMU?” My answer has to be a frustratingly vague “Soon” or “It’s hard to tell, maybe fall of 2011 or maybe 2012.” Jordan Johansen Human rights is a new and unique field in academia. It is truly interdisciplinary and has both a practical and theoretical side. It is both idealistic and pragmatic. As a bridge between the humanities and the social sciences, the human rights major will be valuable to a diverse set of students from many fields. The study and practice of human rights is crucial to educating all future citizens and leaders in our global society. Whether a student’s ultimate goal is to become a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, an artist, a businessperson, a professional athlete, or any other occupation that SMU students will become, a fully developed education in human rights will be valuable and pertinent to becoming a more ethical person and having a successful career. I came to SMU in the fall of 2007, the first semester of the Human Rights Program. I was amazed that this university could have a program like human rights. I signed up as soon as I could. I am no longer amazed that we have a Human Rights Program; I am amazed that other universities do

not. I am amazed that students at SMU cannot MAJOR in human rights. While participating in Mustang Mondays for Dedman College last year, I had so many questions about the Embrey Human Rights Program. People were interested in SMU because of the program. Now these students attend SMU and the school is better for it. Not only are they bright and engaging students, they are determined to make a difference on our campus and in our world. The very students that SMU is determined to attract are attending this university to be involved in the Embrey Human Rights Program. Current and future students are eagerly waiting for the Human Rights major at SMU. The common expectation for the major was originally this fall. This goal has come and gone with deliberations seeming to be at a standstill. This is particularly disappointing to me, because, as a senior graduating in May, I will unable to participate in the major. What is even more disappointing is that this university leaves students in limbo about such an important decision. Every semester that the SMU bureaucracy drags its feet on this major is another group of SMU students disappointed by the missed opportunity to become one of the first American students with such a degree. With an established and successful minor, the Embrey Human Rights Program has found a place within the university. It provides many important resources to SMU, such as the human rights minor, conferences about important human rights topics, lectures by leading thinkers and actors in the field
COMMENTARY
Today marks the last day of Homecoming week. The pomp will be retired until next fall, the points will be tallied from the week’s events and competition, and all will return to normal just in time for finals to creep up on us. This week Drew Konow has not been without many highlights. From the Service Day, to the hot dog eating competition at Field Day, to the questions at Rock the Vote, to the late nights float-building, Homecoming week has been replete with events and memories that will fill our college memory banks. Hopefully, you have shown your Mustang pride and been involved in some of the festivities this week. However, beyond the themes, competitions and events this week, there resides a deeper meaning. What is the meaning of “homecoming?” Homecoming is, quite simply, about coming home. Alumni, parents, former teachers all pour back onto campus. Our forefathers and foremothers return to the place that helped form them to honor it as an institution. Coming home can be a rejuvenating and strange experience, especially after being away for a while. Summers spent in one’s hometown after being away at college come to mind. For us – current students of the University – homecoming does not constitute a return to our alma mater. Indeed, we are already here at SMU. We have yet to leave and traverse our respective

journeys into the world. We have not left the nest. So what does “homecoming” mean for us? On the surface, Homecoming may just be another excuse to celebrate, boulevard and (admittedly) procrastinate. Nonetheless, homecoming also suggests a deeper significance for the undergraduate. This is a time to ask ourselves if we have made a “home” at SMU. All of the Mustangs that will return home this weekend can only do so because they have done this. They built for themselves a home on the Hilltop. So too are we called to utilize these four (or five) years to truly make SMU a place that we can be proud to call our home. Certainly, there is no archetypal behavior or method necessary to create this home. Every individual home will include different people, places and experiences. But, building a new home (like building a float) is hard work. Making somewhere new your home means being open to significant degrees of growth. Just like our childhood abodes, SMU has a lot to teach us about the world, each other and ourselves. Having SMU as our home requires openness to the knowledge and wisdom it provides. Moreover, being at home at SMU demands that we give of ourselves. As a university community, SMU offers countless opportunities – both institutional and non-institutional – for personal growth and exploration. We must not be afraid to share with others our experiences and ourselves. Furthermore, we should not be afraid to discover
in new ways the limits of our identity. Doing so will create for us a distinct place in the SMU family. Nevertheless, just like any home, there are always difficulties. Our family members – the administration, faculty, staff or fellow students – will make decisions that we dislike, create policy we consider unjust or perpetuate ideas we deem untrue. If SMU is truly our home, we should not fear bringing forth our concerns. This home should be one that is open to criticism and cognizant of its imperfection. Making SMU our home necessitates sharing our opinions and complaints about this institution. Our perspectives can shape and growth the hilltop into a stronger institution – a better home. This Homecoming week marks the official celebration of your home here at SMU. I hope that every student has found a home at SMU, and I hope that that home is characterized by personal growth, self-giving and tough questions. If you feel homeless at SMU, allow today to mark the beginning of your home here. At the end of this Homecoming week, I hope that we have built a home together – so that every Mustang can proudly hold his or her pony ears up at tomorrow’s game and revel in the joy of being home at SMU.

of human rights, travel and research opportunities, and resources for interested students. These have all been invaluable additions to my SMU experience. My participation in the program has led me to international research opportunities and internships in important human rights organizations in Dallas. With the major, the Embrey Human Rights Program can further develop these resources and valuable opportunities to provide unparalleled experiences to SMU students. In the future, I see SMU’s human rights major growing into what European universities are developing – a program that teaches students the theories and philosophies of human rights and trains students in important human rights skills, such as qualitative and quantitative research methods, advocacy, economic development, international politics and management of non-profit organizations. With this type of focus, SMU could stand as a peer to such great universities as Oxford University and the London School of Economics. SMU needs to commit to this major and to its students wanting to pursue goals bigger than themselves. A major in Human Rights can only contribute to the SMU’s vision “to create and impart knowledge that will shape citizens who contribute to their communities and lead their professions in a global society.”
Let’s not forget what it means to “come home”

HOMECOMING
‘Arabia’ cast might be kings, script less than royal status By LAUREN SMART A&E Editor lsmart@smu.edu
Omega Psi Phi to host second annual step show By LAUREN SMART A&E Editor lsmart@smu.edu
The struggle between light and darkness is one that has existed for many years. Post-modern art has been exploring the idea of the anti-hero for decades, and “In Arabia We’d All Be Kinds” continues that tradition, sort of. The darkest, most realistic of the Meadows Repertory shows, “Arabia” delves into the shadows of New York City before the rise of all things clean and Disney. It focuses on several characters, who are all severely flawed. From the heinously selfish to cokeheads and sadists, the only redemption these characters appear to experience is death. Unfortunately, the play is in some ways outdated, and many of the situations seem brutal for the mere purpose of being brutal. The ending of the first act and the second act are jarring, without being thought provoking and the uncomfortable moments don’t add any amount of worthwhile depth. That being said, the students in and running this show have handled it masterfully. With Chris McCreary directing an extremely talented cast, the show manages to remain entertaining, and the characters are anything but one-dimensional. The always-funny John Paul Green plays the oldest character in the show and is asleep at the bar on stage when you walk in to the Black Box Theater. He wakes up just enough in the show to add plenty of drunken yet earnest commentary. Chickie and her boyfriend Skank are the main characters of the show, played by Kristin Frantz and Isaac

McGinley. Just as any good anti-heroes would, they manage to avoid development over the course of the play—and that is a compliment. They are both drug addicts with big hearts, but somehow the actors are able to make even their compassion look foolish. The rest of the show is pretty good. Kyndra Mack makes the somewhat bland character of Daisy vibrant, and Mimi Davila plays Demaris with a pleasant mixture of sex, anger and bright-eyed naivety. Perhaps, though, the real hero, or anti-hero is found in Charlie, played by McLean Krieger—the only
Michael Jackson’s legal problems come to Texas Court By ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON (AP) -- An insurer for the doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death has asked a judge to rule that it is not responsible for the physician’s legal bills in two high-profile court cases and fights to retain his medical license. Medicus Insurance Co. argues that Dr. Conrad Murray’s medical malpractice policy doesn’t cover his defense costs because the cases stem from alleged criminal wrongdoing, according to documents filed Wednesday in state court in Houston. Murray’s policy, which was purchased roughly a month before Jackson’s death in June 2009, did not cover incidents involving general anesthesia, the company argues. Murray faces an involuntary manslaughter charge in Los Angeles, where authorities accuse him of administering a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol to the pop star in the bedroom of his rented mansion. The criminal case is just one of the legal challenges Murray faces. He has been sued by Jackson’s father for wrongful death in federal court in Los Angeles, and authorities have sought to either suspend or limit his medical license in Texas, California and Nevada. One of Murray’s clinics is in Houston. The doctor is relying on four attorneys in California and Texas to defend him in the criminal and civil cases. He has argued that he needs to maintain his medical license to pay for his criminal defense. Medicus, which is based in Austin, claims it is not required to defend Murray’s medical license in the three states. The insurer argues that scrutiny by Texas and California officials came as a result of allegations of wrongdoing in Jackson’s death, and that Nevada attempted to suspend Murray’s medical license because he was behind on child
support payments, not for his medical work. The court filings do not indicate how much Murray’s defense in the various cases may cost. “We believe Medicus is wrong on the facts and wrong on the law,” Murray’s attorney, Charles Peckham, said Wednesday. “We believe there should be coverage.” Peckham asked the judge in a court filing Monday to delay the case until after the criminal matter is decided, arguing that defending it would violate the doctor’s Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. “He simply can’t engage in this kind of case,” Peckham said, adding that coverage Murray applied for, and the insurer initially accepted, would have covered all the claims. Medicus filed its case in August, but the legal fees dispute was disclosed in a court filing Wednesday in the wrongful death case. The company’s lawsuit states that Murray’s policy only covers the doctor’s actions in Texas. The company filed its case after Murray asked the insurer to pay for his defense in the California court cases and medical board hearings in other states, according to the complaint. Murray is due back in Los Angeles next week for a hearing in the criminal case, and prosecutors are expected to lay out some of their evidence against him during a preliminary hearing in January. Last week, a federal judge in Houston ruled that Lloyd’s of London was not required to pay millions of dollars in legal fees for jailed financier R. Allen Stanford and two former executives charged in a massive Ponzi scheme. The insurer had argued the men’s insurance policy did not cover money laundering charges.
character without obvious flaws. He is an adorable Star Wars fanatic, hopelessly in love with Chickie, spending time and money taking care of her. It seems that the obvious ending for the play would’ve been when he dons the Darth Vader mask—but the actual final scene feels contrived and pointless. Perhaps though the point of the play isn’t to add any sort of clear voice into the cultural dialogue, or maybe it had more impact in 1994. After all, a very clear picture of life in the seedy streets of New York City is presented. This play is ultimately just a
presentation of that life and the people who inhabit it, without judgment, but also without unjustified love. In fact, the strongest display of love that exists in this play is the obvious amount of care that the production staff put into “Arabia.” But the script itself doesn’t seem to carry its weight. Fortunately for this repertory show, that care brings it to life, and all life is worth living. Be aware that this is written by a critic. See the show for yourself and form your own opinion.
Omega Psi Phi will host their second annual Homecoming Step Show at SMU in the Hughes-Trigg Theater on Saturday. The event was such a huge success last year that even more organizations are going to participate this Saturday. As demonstrated by their show last year, step shows uphold the tradition of black fraternities and sororities showing each other and the rest of the school what their organization is all about. All participating sororities and fraternities are given a limited time to rehearse their routines before the big night of the performance. Just like the show last year, this will be a chance to catch an extremely unique collaboration of the groups on campus coming together to perform a one-of-a-kind show. This is one of the many noteworthy events taking place during Homecoming weekend. Last year, in an interview with The Daily Campus, former treasurer of Omega Psi Phi, Kyle DeGroat, said “We achieved our goal but would like to do it on a larger scale next year.” With the big day approaching the performances are being hammered out and the success of last year hangs in the air. “I really enjoyed watching the step show last year, and I’m excepted about seeing my Delta Gamma sisters perform again this year,” said Jordan Jennings, Daily Campus sports editor.

Following the success of last year, Omega Psi Phi is back again with their second step show.
Delta Gamma is one of the many Greek organizations participating in the event on Saturday. The dances are set to a variety of hiphop music. As you plan out your schedule for Homecoming weekend, from the football game to the Jack Ingram concert to the parade, be sure to check out this show. Tickets for the event cost $5 and can be purchased at the door. Doors will open at 7 p.m. the night of the show.

CENTER: New exhibit opens Saturday, bringing preview of historical artifacts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“They have been very involved in the design and the thought process in bringing together the Presidential Center, so we want to make sure that they welcomed all the visitors to this exhibit,” Lowe said. Among the 43,000 artifacts from Bush’s presidency, the Center narrowed down to items that will fill the center. Some of what they found to be the most interesting are displayed in the “Breaking New Ground” exhibit. “It was really interesting to go through and decide, ‘What do we use to best represent what we’re doing with the Bush Center?” he said. One case portrays what Lowe calls “a very memorable moment.” On Sept. 14, 2001, former President Bush made his first visit to Ground Zero. On display is the bullhorn he used to say, “I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.” In the same case are items reflecting Bush’s ceremonial opening pitch of Game three during the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In trying to promote the country’s efforts in continuing life undeterred after the September attacks, he took the pitcher’s mound in a fleece sweatshirt and gave the sold-out ballpark a thumb’s up. The baseball he threw and “FDNY” sweatshirt he wore that day
are on display. In the next case is one of Lowe’s favorite artifacts: three hand-written notes by the President when he was preparing his first public statement of the 9/11 attacks. “So a moment of history is kind of frozen on that page,” he said. The Oct. 7, 2001 announcement of U.S. troops going into Afghanistan is typed as “President’s Statement, Draft No. 8.” Below them are letters from children across the country and one from U2 singer Bono. “It’s a nice selection of documents that are very historic,” he said. Across the room is a more colorful display of dinner sets, jewelry and an evening gown. As Lowe explained, the Center is also designed to show more than pieces of history. “We want to, in this exhibit, not only show great items—important items about history or important gifts from heads of state, but also some things that talk about life in the White House,” he said, pointing to the display of wooden easter eggs that were hunted on the lawn. The jewelry, all sapphire and diamond, shines in even the dim museum lighting. Arranged in a green leather case are the necklace, bracelet, earrings and ring jewelry that was given to Mrs. Bush by the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, king of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. An Oscar de la Renta silk aqua
gown and matching beaded Bolero jacket that was worn by Mrs. Bush on May 7, 2007 is also displayed, reflecting on former President George W. Bush’s first-ever, white-tie state dinner to honor Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In the same case are two displays Lowe admires. One is the set of dog bowls for Barney and Miss Beazley that were used on Air Force One. His other favorite is the set of autographed menus. The small pieces of paper layout the meals for the two selected evenings and have signatures of those who ate them. One is from the May 22, 2003 dinner honoring His Excellency Junichiro Koizumi, Prime Minister of Japan; the other is from the dinner honoring His Excellency Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the French Republic, on Nov. 6, 2007. “We want in this exhibit to make sure that we reach different audiences and educate about the important events and other issues of the Bush Administration,” Lowe said. On various walls throughout the exhibit are small squares labeled, “Barney Fun Facts.” With a cartoon figure of the former president’s dog, this feature is to broaden the experience to other audiences, according to Lowe. “We also want to make sure that we reach out to young kids as well: we all love Barney and Miss Beazley, their two dogs,” he said. “So throughout the exhibit we have these wonderful

Barney fun facts.” After asking what Barney’s favorite toy is, Lowe opened the small red box to reveal nine golf balls. “He likes soccer balls too, but golf balls are absolutely his favorite,” he said. The goals for the Center are also displayed for visitors to learn. “At the core, we’re about preserving and making accessible these materials and then using them to educate,” Lowe said. “And we certainly hope this exhibit’s part of that process.”
The George W. Bush Presidential Center is set for groundbreaking on Nov. 16. Initiatives are already in motion, and Lowe believes the Center will be useful to SMU students—both current at its opening and alumni— and the Dallas community. He noted that there are even discussions in implementing student workers and interns in the Center. As the date of groundbreaking approaches, there have been recent reports of planned protests, which don’t worry Lowe.
“Our focus that day is on the groundbreaking and showing to the community what we are and what we plan on doing and, again, how we plan on being useful to the community” he said. “It’s the peoples’ constitutional right to protest and speak their mind. We think we have a very positive story to tell here,” he said. The “Breaking New Ground” exhibit will be open to the public from Oct. 23 through Feb. 6, 2011.

Rogers Healy SMU Alumni
SMU named three new Distinguished Alumni and one new Emerging Leader at last night’s Distingushed Alumni Awards. Tammy Nguyen Lee received the Emerging Leader Award. This award honors those who have graduated from SMU in the last 15 years. Lee graudated from SMU in 2000 with a B.A. in cinema and double
minors in French and business, and is a producer, filmmaker, model and actress. Lee was born in Saigon and was forced to flee with her family when she was three months old. They eventually settled in Garland. Lee chose to go to SMU to study at Meadows and Cox, she said. After graduating from SMU, she enrolled in UCLA’s Producers Program. She came back to Dallas in 2005 and started her own production company, Against the Grain Productions. Lee created the production company in order to promote the talent of Asian Americans working in the arts, to create social issue media and to raise money for international orphanages. Lee also wrote, directed and produced “Operation Babylift: The Lost Children of Vietnam,” which told the story of the U.S.-sponsored war-time effort to airlift over 2,500 Vietnamese orphans out of the country in 1975. The first person of the evening to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award was George W. Bramblett Jr., who graduated from SMU in 1963 and from SMU law in 1966. Bramblett is currently a partner in the law firm of Haynes and Boone, LLP. Bramblett has received numerous awards detailing his legal accomplishments, including Trial Lawyer of the Year in 2001 by the Dallas Bar Association, and the Jurisprudence Award from the AnitDefamation League in 2005. Bramblett is also a member of several organizations, most of which focus on education. Gary T. Crum was the next to be
honored. Crum graduated from SMU in 1969 with a B.B.A. from Cox School of Business. Crum is the founder and former director of AIM Management Group, Inc., which he began in 1976 with only three employees. Today it is one of the country’s leading management firms with more than 5,000 employees all over the globe and offices in 20 countries. Crum is a member of the Board of Trustees, and has provided numerous gifts to the school, including many scholarships for the School of Business and the donation behind the Crum Basketball Center. The last award of the evening was given to Stephen Mulholland, who aided South Africa’s journey to end Apartheid and advance freedom of the press. Mulholland was born in Ireland and grew up in South Africa, and came to SMU to be a member of the Mustang swim team, graduating cum laude in 1960 with a degree in economics. He returned to South Africa in 1962 to pursue journalism, writing for such publications as The Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek and Fortune. He became managing editor and CEO of Times Limited Media, and as such facilitated talks between President F.W. de Clerk and Nelson Mandela on issues of Apartheid. He was later a large a successful proponent of freedom of the press during Mandela’s presidency. Mulholland founded the Alexandra Development Foundation in order to assist black residents of the Alexandra township own their own homes. The event was held at the Fairmont Dallas.

DREAM:
Student philanthropy continues to grow
Students have chance to change life during Boulevard By KATIE SIMON Managing Editor katies@smu.edu

an idea. We shared the dream and got people into it,” said Parker, a SMU senior and a RA in CockrellMcIntosh. The first camp was such a success that Namdar and Parker realized they could really make an impact through sports. “Soccer is a special game. It unites people because it is a sport that you don’t need to speak a language to understand,” Namdar said. Refugees at Vickery Meadows come from all over, including Myanmar (Burma), Cuba, Nepal and Cambodia. However, the language barrier was broken as the children laughed and high-fived each other, while having a blast playing soccer. Fatema Ebrahim, a volunteer at the camp, was not motivated by the sports aspect of Dream Big. Instead, as a SMU psychology major, she hoped to learn something by working with under-privileged children. After the camp, a three-year-old boy brought tears to Ebrahim’s eyes after asking her when the next game was going to be. “It shocked me, the kind of impact we had on this child. I’m not looking to make an impact on every child, but knowing that you can make one kid have hope for something is so inspiring,” Ebrahim said. Dream Big has helped more than 350 children with the support of numerous sponsors, including Vitamin Water, Frito-Lay, Toni & Guy and FC Dallas. The founders also spread the word by networking, contacting different social clubs, residence halls and Greek life on the SMU campus. Many believe they are going to be the next TOMS shoes. “I love hearing from people that we are the next TOMS. It makes me feel good, but I don’t want this to be the next ‘something’ because its not. It’s the first Dream Big,” Namdar said. “Though it’s an honor to even be compared to TOMS shoes.” “I didn’t intend for it to turn into this,” Parker said. “We are just sharing the vision.” Now Dream Big is expanding from

just soccer to teaching a basketball camp. It will also be sending Pumpkin Cards for Halloween to students at J.W. Ray Elementary School, which has approximately 350 students, most of whom are in need. The Pumpkin Cards were made yesterday in CockrellMcIntosh by SMU students and Dream Big volunteers. The school’s basketball team of 20 players in the fourth and fifth grades will take part in the basketball camp Nov. 13. The team has only 12 uniforms that are shared among the players. Currently, Dream Big is selling Dream Big T-shirts on campus and planning a fundraiser for the whole school, “Throw Down 4 Yo Hometown-Jersey Party,” on Dec. 4 to raise money to supply the basketball team with new jerseys. Though Namdar and Parker have touched the lives of many children, the children have also inspired them, as well as the volunteers. “The kids have taught me to never grow up. Be lighthearted, and have fun,” Parker said. SMU volunteer, Rashmi Anandampillai said, “Seeing those children, how happy they were, that’s why I came back. I couldn’t get enough of it. It feels good to make a difference.” Though it is still a day-to-day process, Dream Big has increased exponentially since their first camp in April, hoping to spread all over the world. “It’s still a learning process for us, but it really feels meant to be,” Parker said. “I believe it is important to be a good person, and people can offer so much more than what they really are. Our potential as students is so much bigger,” Namdar said. “As SMU students, we are given a huge opportunity to make a difference, and if we don’t use it, we are wasting our time.”
It’s painless, it’s easy and it could save a life. During the Boulevard Saturday, Larry Lacerte’s family and friends will be hosting a bone marrow drive called “Pony Up and Be the Match!” Lacerte is a Cox School of Business board member and the father of recent SMU Dedman School of Law graduate Megan Lacerte and current SMU junior Quincy Lacerte. He also sponsors the Lacerte Family Lecture Series as part of the Tate Lecture Series. In February, 2010, he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a cancer of the blood cells in the bone marrow. The disease is considered one of the most vicious blood cancers and is
fatal unless the patient receives a bone marrow transplant. AML creates abnormal myeloblasts, a kind of white blood cell in the bone marrow that multiplies too quickly. Patients need a donor with a near-identical DNA match to their own DNA. Because of this, finding a donor with a close-enough match is extremely rare. “It has to be an almost perfect DNA match,” said Dena Frankfurt, a close family friend. “Out of 5.5 million registered to donate, they had only three possible people for him. And then when they tested those three possibilities, they weren’t close enough.” Lacerte’s older brother, who is 69 years old, was the only match out of five siblings. However, nobody over the age of 60 can be a donor because the body does not create blood cells
fast enough at that age to provide a large enough amount to be donated. Frankfurt explains that the reason SMU’s campus was chosen for the bone marrow drive is because the younger the person, the better able he or she can serve as a donor. The ideal donor age ranges from 18 to 25 years old. Because of the difficulty in finding a match, the Lacerte family is covering all costs for registration, which is normally $100 per person. If a match is found for Mr. Lacerte, his family will cover the expenses for the marrow donation as well. Frankfurt adds that if a student or faculty member comes up as a match for any other patient in need of a transplant, it is critical that the student donates his or her cells. Furthermore, giving bone marrow, she explains, is nowhere near as
excruciating as it once was because processes have changed. “If you’re somebody’s match, you’re probably the only person in the world that can save that person’s life,” she said. “Because it’s life or death. It’s the only cure.” The process is simple. There is no blood, no needle and no pain. Student and faculty volunteers register at the booth, have a cheek swab taken by a medical technician, fill out a questionnaire and continue Boulevarding. There will be water, food and an opportunity to win an SMU playersigned football or jersey at the booth as well. The drive takes place between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the fountain on the main quad. For more information on donating bone marrow, visit: www.marrow.org.
PHILANTHROPY
Law student helps those across seas By JESSICA HUSEMAN Editor-in-Chief jhuseman@smu.edu
SMU law student, Lance Kennedy, founded Angels in Cowboy Boots (AICB) in order to serve the people of Haiti after the devastating earthquake in January. Only nine months later, the organization has become a Texas nonprofit organization and a Federal 501 C3 that has sent more than 175,000 disaster relief meals to locations across the globe. The non-profit was launched with the help of his cousins, Kent and Montie Twining. In addition to Haiti, they have sent food to Mexico, Chile and the Gulf Coast. AICB’s newest mission is to aid the flood-stricken region of Pakistan. “The packages are in 10 gallon USDA approved buckets,” Kennedy said. He noted that the buckets are just as much a tool for those receiving them as they are packaging for needed food supplies. According to Kennedy, the buckets can be used to carry water and store goods. Each bucket costs about $35
and will keep a family of three alive for two weeks. The type of food that AICB includes in the buckets depends on the region it will be sent to. “When we sent food to the Gulf, we changed it out for things Americans might eat. So things like cereal and canned foods,” Kennedy said. “In the Gulf, they’ll have access to a microwave, whereas in Haiti or Pakistan, they might not have those available.” For the buckets being sent to Pakistan, AICB is including things like rice, beans, tomato paste, cooking oil, various canned goods with a can opener and eating utensils. Through a generous donation from a shipping company, AICB recently sent 72,000 meals, each containing 2,000 calories, to the most devastated areas of Pakistan, and they are hoping to send more. “The devastation [in Pakistan] equals all earthquakes in the last five years, including the Haitian earthquake, and it’s larger than the tsunami as well,” Kennedy said. Kennedy said that while the devastation is this severe and has

affected more than a third of the country of Pakistan, people are not as aware of the crisis as they have been with other disasters. “The size and scope people can’t really see because it’s spread out so far and wide,” he said. SMU students who want to get involved can participate in bucket drives. “We do encourage people to get
involved, and people can sign up on our websites to do bucket campaigns and compete against their friends,” Kennedy said. For those that are not able to get involved, direct donations can be made at www.aicb.org, or you can text “bucket” to 20222 to make an instant $10 donation.
