SMU students sign national campaign against sexual violence
BEIRUT — Islamic State group fighters seized at least one cache of weapons airdropped by U.S.-led coalition forces that were meant to supply Kurdish militiamen battling the extremist group in a border town, activists said. FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — After emerging months ago in eastern Sierra Leone, Ebola is now hitting the western edges of the country where the capital is located with dozens of people falling sick each day, the government said Tuesday. So many people are dying that removing bodies is reportedly a problem.
National STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A pet bobcat that has repeatedly escaped from its owner’s southern New Jersey home is again on the loose. The Asbury Park Press reports Rocky went missing from Ginny Fine’s home in Stafford Township on Tuesday morning. GARY, Ind. — Police say an Indiana man has now definitively confessed to killing seven women whose bodies were found over the weekend in northwestern Indiana.

LECTURE
PayPal co-founder talks innovation at Tate Lecture katelyn hall Contributing Writer khall@smu.edu Peter Thiel began his Tate Lecture in McFarlin Auditorium Tuesday night with a challenge: “Tell me something that is true that almost no one agrees with you on.” The co-founder and former CEO of PayPal uses the same question in job interviews because it shows how hard it is to escape conventional wisdom. “We live in a world where courage is in far shorter supply than genius,” he said. Thiel’s talk revolved around this central issue of what it takes to be an innovator and what the future will look like through the course of innovation. Success in innovation cannot be copied, he says, because you don’t want to start something that’s “interchangeable.” Thiel says that
all good businesses look for the monopoly, the thing no one is doing. “I think all happy companies are different because they found something unique that differentiates them,” he said. He spoke about the same subject in his recent book, “Zero to One,” which he gave to every member of the nearly full auditorium. “I thought his ideas on the nature of competition—that it is the opposite of success, was extremely relevant,” sophomore Cameron Matson said. SMU alumna Elise McDonald also found Thiel’s thoughts on differentiating investments interesting. “These are the investments that allow an individual, business or institution to have the greatest impact on society,” she said. To stumble upon the next great idea, Thiel says, one must strive to get away from conventional truths
Texas DALLAS — Texas, which saw the first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. and two more since then, has designated two containment facilities in Galveston and a Dallas suburb to treat any future patients.

and mistruths and find the secrets. “There are many secrets left,” he said. The problem is, we aren’t looking in the right places for these secrets. “I think we are living in a society, which is dominated by hatred…, hostility, dislike of all things scientific and technological,” he said. Thiel contends that the best way for us to find the secrets of the future is to reconceive the notions of a developed world and a developing world. Instead, he suggests, we should ask the question: “How do we go about developing the so-called developed world?” Thiel ended his talk with this question, and it stuck with audience members like senior Mary Anna Billingsley. “The United States is a superpower that should continue to keep moving forward by developing new technologies for the world to embrace,” Billingsley said.
Two SMU graduate students were passengers aboard a Frontier Flight from Dallas to Cleveland that included Amber Joy Vinson, the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital nurse who later tested positive for Ebola, according to an announcement released by SMU this afternoon. The two students were not on the return flight to Dallas where Vinson reported showing symptoms of Ebola. "The CDC doesn’t inform anybody except the person [affected]," said President Turner at the Student Affairs Leadership Council luncheon Monday. "They were informed by the CDC that they were on a flight, but that there was very little probably at all - in fact they were saying little or no risk - that they would be involved with it." However, the students have volunteered to remain at home for 21 days to ensure that they did not contract the virus. They are being monitored as a precaution and are following the CDC requirements and recommendations by remaining in isolation, monitoring their temperatures and keeping in contact with health officials. "We don’t have any worry about it," said President Turner.
"CDC doesn’t have any worry about it. CDC is not making them stay away. County of Dallas is not making them stay away. The students literally agreed to do it just because they wanted the university to not have any worry about it." The two students will continue their schoolwork from home. According to the announcement, SMU professors and faculty are working with them to make this process easier. "[SMU students] really don’t need to be concerned about this." said President Turner. "There are people who are so irrational about this, and I know we’ll get some calls saying, 'I want to take my son or daughter out.' It’ll be safer for them to stay... I’m hoping that during family weekend, people will come and dispel the rumor aspects of it." If any other student, faculty or staff were also on the Frontier Airlines flights between Dallas and Cleveland, they are being asked to contact the Centers for Disease Control at 1-800-2324636 or the SMU Health Center at 214-768-2141. The Daily Campus will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.

Collaboration space opens in Expressway Tower meredith carey Assignments Desk Editor mbcarey@smu.edu Think tank. Idea lab. Startup generator. SMU’s newest creative space is so open to interpretation that it has nearly 10 descriptors listed on the wall but there’s only one name you need to know: the CUBE. Open since Oct. 17, suite 600 in Expressway Towers has become what Engaged Learning administrators hope will be the next big push for SMU students to get involved. A three-room space, previously housing the Big iDeas office, is a blank canvas for individuals and student groups to create and expand on innovative ideas.

The CUBE is available to SMU students to express themselves and create new ideas.
“It’s not study hall. It’s a place for students to come together that are working on projects that are having some sort of community impact,” said Susan Kress, director of Engaged Learning.
The CUBE offers plenty of white space for student to express themselves. The two breakout rooms, with views of downtown Dallas, have white board walls so that students can write on a big
scale from floor to ceiling. With lockers for student groups to store their items longer term, the space is open for personalization. A kitchen is also available. The Pitch Contest on Oct. 31 will
be the official kickoff for the CUBE, exhibiting emphasis on innovation in the space. The Provost Office, who recently passed the Big iDeas grant program to the Engaged Learning department, funded the renovations for the space. “The space as an office was sort of diverting the purpose,” Kress said. The CUBE has already drawn attention from campus groups, including the Entrepreneurship Club, which will be holding meetings there. The CUBE is open Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday noon to 5 p.m. By contacting Kenneth Cedeno, students can have the space opened after hours for meetings as well.

Fringe
Fall 2014’s hottest fashion trends to start wearing now Gabriella Bradley Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu For Fall Break this year, I jetted off to New York City the second my midterms ended. After five blissful days walking the Central Park sidewalks littered with fallen leaves on a crisp afternoon, I am officially done with the warm Texas weather. I’m not sure about you, but I am fully ready to break out my chunky sweaters, booties, and scarves and embrace the fall spirit. This year, even more exciting than the thought of cozying up on a brisk autumn day, is the fantastic fall fashion coming out. Still slightly disillusioned in my longing for fall, I have already started filling up all my drawers with my great cold weather finds. So what can you expect to see lining the shelves this fall? All Fringe Everything At first, I wasn’t so sure about this trend. Fringe can easily go down the Pocahontas path, and no one wants to go there. So I decided to sit back and see where designers would take itand I have been surprisingly impressed.
Fringe dresses are what I am most excited about. I mean, what is more fun than spinning around in something with fabulous fringe? Stella McCartney even got in on the hype and put her own touch on the trend with a metallic fringe version of her classic Falabella tote.
This season there are turtleneck sleeveless tops, turtleneck dresses,and, of course, the traditional cozy turtleneck chunky sweater. Pick your turtleneck poison and pair it with skinny jeans and heeled booties for a cozy outdoor autumn dinner party.
Kimono Tie Coats No matter your body type, a waist tie can do wonders for any figure. This season, we are seeing belt ties added to spice up many of the traditional coat offerings. Designers are even taking the ties to a new level with varieties coming in faux leather and herringbone patterns. Either way, this is a timeless twist on the classic winter coat that you will need when the infamous Dallas ice storms roll around.
Sneakers I still remember wearing little Vans tennis shoes back in my playground days, so you can imagine my surprise when these slip-ons started to become popular again last year. This season, though, these classic shoes are no longer restricted to the basic colors they came in back when I was in elementary. Now we are seeing slip-on sneaker in every color, texture, pattern and fabric one can think of. One of my favorites is definitely Vince’s lizard-print skater shoe in a vibrant oxblood hue. Pair these comfortable kicks with boyfriend jeans and a chunky sweater and you are ready to take on the bitter cold.
Toasty Turtlenecks The turtleneck has gained a bad rep over the years. Usually they are paired with grandma jeans for an atrocious combination that never looks good on anyone. Someone somewhere decided to revitalize this trend. Brands and designers are starting to catch on and are putting a new twist on this grandma-chic garment.

‘John Wick’ excels over other films in the action genre riley coven Arts and Entertainment Writer rcoven@mail.smu.edu In recent years there have been plenty of revenge-based action films. The idea of the retired professional who loses someone close to him and enters back into his world of deception and violence in pursuit of those that wronged him is intriguing. The film industry likes to elaborate on what has worked for them in the past and this genre is no different. With movies like “Taken,” “3 Days to Kill,” and “The November Man” being released the quality of this genre has become suspect. There are exceptions, however, and Chad Stahelski’s “John Wick” was quite a pleasant surprise.Beginning in a brutal sequence explaining the protagonist’s pain and loss, the film immediately endears you to the main character, played by an impressively vulnerable Keanu Reeves.
The film progresses afterward in a series of events following John and his endeavors to find the people who assaulted him. With very strong pacing ,the film moves along at a brisk pace and keeps focus on John and his adventure. His rampage continues through New York City and in sweeping visuals we watch as he becomes more accepting not only of his mission, but of himself. While the film is distinctive for its strong direction, what makes it a top tier action feature are the fight sequences. While most action films shy away from showing the actual fighting and shooting and prefer to use quick cuts and sound effects to give the impression of a brawl, John Wick embraces the terrific choreography and leaves the focus on the action sequence in its entirety. With this strategy, the film is given real weight and the brutality of the violence within is at an all-time high.
While this might not be what everybody wants to see, most who are going to watch the movie as an action film will be more than pleased. More than just the strong action sequences and solid progression, what makes “John Wick” a success is its acceptance of itself. Many action movies try too hard to be serious and emotionally resonant with the audience and end up falling flat and come off cheesy and unnecessary. John Wick embraces the fact that, at its base, it’s a shoot-emup action film and makes that the focus. The screenplay doesn’t try to play with the audience’s emotions and just moves the plot forward. The performances aren’t overarching and there are moments of genuine hilarity in some of the well timed jokes throughout. In a time there aren’t many action films that work past the basis of pure eye candy, “John Wick “stands out. Courtesy of Facebook

The violent action sequences in “John Wick” focus on solid choreography instead of cinematic short cuts.
The Meadows School of the Arts’ presentation of “By the Waters,” was delicate, powerful and capable of melting even the hardest of hearts. The choir performed on Oct. 19. From the touching ballads to the energetic spirituals, audience members were simultaneously given goose bumps and held captive by the unmatchable skill and professionalism displayed by
SMU’s choral department. The program included a smorgasbord of pleasing, water-themed songs with genres ranging from African American spirituals to Psalms to American folk music. In this phenomenal performance, Greg Hobbs masterfully conducted the Meadows Concert Choir while Pamela Elrod Huffman was the expert conductor of both Diva Dolce and Meadows Chorale. Additionally, the event featured David Moran playing
a hammered dulcimer and Don Fabian on a soprano saxophone. Overall, the entire production was stunning. “Being in choir at SMU has helped me make great friends that have the same passion for music that I do and I love being able to share this experience with them,” Julia Palagyi, a first-year alto, said. “Our first concert made me proud to be in the SMU choir because we were able to come together as an ensemble and make beautiful music within the first month of school.”

Faculty, graduate student, staff yearbook photos become a part of University history
Actress Rosamund Pike plays character Amy Dunne in Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl.
Courtesy of Gone Girl Facebook Page
‘Gone Girl’ character Amy Dunne reveals the problem with being the ‘Cool Girl’ Warning: the following article contains spoilers to the movie “Gone Girl.” Gillian Flynn’s film adaptation “Gone Girl” has taken the terms “feminist,” “misogynist” and “psychopath” to a whole new extreme. Flynn pairs two characters together that could not be more opposite. Nick, a country-raised man who loves boobs, beer and football falls in love with Amy, a bornand-bred New Yorker who has been raised by elite and wealthy authors. With writing being their common ground the two embark on a martial journey together. Trouble soon follows. A couple years into marriage along with a series of unfortunate events straining their marriage, both are unhappy. While Nick chooses to ignore the problems and drowns his sorrows in his mistress’ oversized breasts, Amy decides to plot revenge against her husband. She fakes her own death. In this unfathomable, deranged and downright insane plan of Amy’s, she meticulously calculates every step to ensure Nick would be the number one suspect. And she almost succeeds. However, with the media being used as the main platform of judgment, Nick quickly learns that he must win over radio and TV viewers in order to persuade the public he is in the clear. He also figures out that his wife has schemed her own homicide, which leads to a fire-fightingwith-fire fight between the two trying to win over the public through manipulation, lying and intense hyperbole. The two are compatible in wits and charm; but, Amy, in my opinion, wins with her psychotic mind that’s able to dress and look chic throughout the entire process (disregarding her runaway attire). What also won me over to empathize (to a certain extent) with this character was her monologue. She addresses a surprisingly relatable and relevant issue regarding women changing themselves for the men they like in order to seem like the Cool Girl. She emphasizes how the Cool Girl “unabashedly love sex and drinking beer and eating burgers – while still miraculously maintaining a perfect figure – and is always ready to forgive her husband’s foible.” Amy continues her speech for a few minutes in the film. The following is an excerpt: “That night at the Brooklyn party, I was playing the girl who was in style, the girl a man like Nick wants: the Cool Girl. Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, sh*t on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.” “Men actually think this girl exists. Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every single thing he likes and doesn’t ever

complain. How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like, “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point go off with someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.” I clearly remember this portion in the movie. Prior to her speech, I had categorized her as the cool and carefree guys’ girl who contradicts her conservative and preppy upbringing. To now hear that she had been putting on a façade for the first few years of their marriage in order to solidify Nick’s love for her was astonishing. It left me in awe. She had effortlessly put into words a problem with women that even I have done. It is something that we should not have to do, or need to do, yet, we feel the pressure to do it and decide to do it anyway. And we hate ourselves for it later. “It” is pretending to be someone else at the beginning of the relationship, as I stated before. More specifically, that someone else is contouring your body and personality to fit the description of your new boyfriend’s ideal girl. It’s not hard to figure out. The first few dates are basically describing every physical turn on, turn off, likes and dislikes in human beings. But what women do, or tend to do, is take that information, mentally store it for later, and consciously or not, we act more like that Cool Girl Amy refers to. We pretend to care for a sport we may not have cared about before so we can spend time watching the game with our “bae.” We wear more sexually appealing clothing. We shotgun that beer when out with the boys even though all we want is a vodka cranberry or a margarita on the rocks. It’s an understandable habit to have. When you like someone new, you want him or her to like you too. You tweak yourself just a little bit so that they will see you in a more favorable light. This problem is not subjected to women only. Men do this, too. In the beginning, men act like the Prince Charming, here to swoop you in their arms and be that caring, loving, fun and open communicating boyfriend every woman dreams about. That becomes short-lived too. Like the movie, Nick stops making an effort, and puts his own priorities before his marriage. He even stops communicating with her by not responding to messages or even her voice when she calls in the house. The truth behind this is that you cannot put on your best face for that long. Especially in a marriage. You should also not try to stage your own death and frame your husband. Just be yourself. If the characters in “Gone Girl” had, Nick wouldn’t have married a psychopath, Amy wouldn’t have wasted her time on a misogynist cheater, and Neil Patrick Harris would be alive.

I am a history graduate student and I am taking a quick break from writing my dissertation to talk to you about yearbook photos and their importance to university history. (I have to say quick in case my supervising professor reads this.) I am writing with a request to encourage faculty, graduate students and staff to take photos for the yearbook, otherwise those photos will be left out for this year. Faculty, staff and graduate students make valuable contributions to university life on many levels. This would be an especially good year to have a strong faculty and graduate student presence in the yearbook because (1) this is the “Year of the Faculty” in our university centennial celebrations and (2) graduate students assist with teaching and many are future faculty. According to the university website, there are 727 full-time faculty, 4,572 graduate students, and 1,576 total staff and administrators. The yearbook needs 72 photos for a 2 page spread of 36 photos. Let’s put some faces on those figures. As a history major and having worked in the DeGolyer University Archives, I have seen the importance of the yearbooks as references for future generations, and I have also pulled and prepped many historic photos used in yearbook production and other university activities - including photos of faculty, graduate students and staff. Of course, it is fun to look back in the yearbook and recall fond memories, or laugh at ourselves as we think, “Wow, I really thought that hair and outfit looked good.”

Even if you don’t do it for yourself, please consider taking a photo for current and future students, relatives, or friends. They could one day look at that photo and see someone they know, someone they resemble, someone that inspires them to think, “If they can do it, so can I.” Faculty, graduate students and staff are vital to the university’s past, present and future, and it is only fitting that their presence is part of the university historical record in the yearbook. I hope you agree and will take a few minutes during a lunch, coffee or study break to smile for the camera. I already took my photo and there is still time to take yours this week. You can simply drop by Oct 20-Oct 24, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Hughes-Trigg Student Center, Suite 314 or for information call 214-768-4549. Thanks, Carla Mendiola

Oscar de la Renta looks at his collection ’Resort 2010’ coming to life during its reveal in Colombia 2009.
Designer Oscar de la Renta dies, leaves behind 50 years of unforgettable, iconic fashion Fashion designer Oscar de la Renta died Monday. The 82-year-old left behind a legendary title under his name. He was best known for designing womenswear and bridal gowns. His talent for creating whimsical and elegant pieces for celebrities, women in power and the everyday woman is something that possibly no other designer can match. De le Renta extended his creative and artistic mind outside of the fashion world. He expanded his empire and made his name known across multiple platforms. He branched out by creating a fragrance and a home decor and furniture line. I personally remember first hearing his name when I was a young tween watching E! News. His designs were extravagant, flawless and magical to a certain extent. I remember watching B-roll of his 2006 line during New York Fashion Week. In later years I remember stumbling upon a headline stating that Oscar de la Renta had designed George W. Bush’s

daughter’s wedding dress. I immediately googled ‘Jenna Bush wedding dress’ to see what the fashion mogul had made for her. It was beautiful to say the least. Intricate, delicate and perfectly fitted, Bush’s wedding dress, along with many others he’s created, somehow captured the essence of romance and beauty in the brides he dresses. (Another personal favorite was Amal Alamuddin Clooney’s gown). As I recall de la Renta dressing Bush, I reminisce when he constructed well-fitted business wear and dress suits for many first ladies. From Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama, de la Renta never failed to make his first ladies stand out
in fashion. De la Renta also stood out because of his personality. Many of his close friends and colleagues poured their hearts out on social media remembering this brilliant fashion designer. Anna Wintour, the Jesus of fashion and editor-in-chief of Vogue, wrote a eulogy remembering de la Renta for being a “optimistic, fun, sunny, romantic” designer with a deep love of life. Given de la Renta’s success as a businessman and fashion designer, along with maintaining balance with his personal life to find happiness and contentment, I find it hard to believe that he is truly gone. A tweet from fellow fashion designer Kenneth Cole accurately expresses how most feel about his passing. “The fashion business says goodbye to a mentor, a legand & an icon. He defined a standard we can only aspire to.”

Standing at 6’7” and weighing more than 230 pounds, Lynch is a big quarterback. As a passer, the redshirted sophomore is having moderate success in 2014. Through six games he has compiled 1401 passing yards with nine touchdowns and six interceptions. If Memphis can move the ball into the redzone, that is when Lynch is most dangerous. Despite his pedestrian rushing average, Lynch has a team-high six rushing touchdowns. He isn’t the most dynamic quarterback SMU has faced this season, but he has the ability to cause some serious damage, especially once he gets into SMU territory.
Tight end Alan Cross While he is fifth on the team in total receptions (14) he leads the team in receiving touchdowns with three. At 6’1”
and 245 pounds, Cross is Lynch’s go-to-guy in the redzone. With receivers like Keiwone Malone and Tevin Jones drawing most of the attention from opposing defenses, Cross has the potential to make a lot of catches and have a serious impact on the outcome of Saturday’s conference matchup.
Wide Reciever Tevin Jones Just like Cincinnati, Memphis likes to spread the ball around to a bunch of different receivers and Jones is one of two most targeted by Lynch. He is second on the team in receptions with 20 and in touchdowns with two. The 6’2”, 218-pound junior saw limited playing time prior to this season and is five catches shy of matching last year’s total. Memphis is still figuring out how to use him and given that he appears to be one of Lynch’s favorite targets he should get plenty of opportunities to show what he can do Saturday.
Defensive back Bobby McCain McCain does it all for Memphis: he leads the team in interceptions with three, in fumble returns with one (which he returned 59 yards for a touchdown), and he is the Tigers’ best kick return man–averaging
25.5 yards a return. At 5’11” and 195 pounds, McCain isn’t the biggest corner, but he certainly plays like it. Despite missing three games in 2013 due to injury, McCain’s six interceptions were good enough to tie for the NCAA lead. Coincidently one of the games he missed last season was against SMU. With the nose he has for the football, it’s a safe bet to assume he will make at least one great play against the Mustangs Saturday.
Linebacker Tank Jakes With a name like Tank, it is fitting that this 5’11”, 227 -pound senior is the Tigers’ defensive enforcer. Jakes leads Memphis with 50 total tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, six sacks, three pass breakups, four forced fumbles and one safety. Jakes also recovered a fumble and picked off a pass through six games. Jakes was honored with the John Bramlett Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2012 (first season with Memphis), and was All-Conference USA Honorable Mention in 2013. Jakes makes plays. No matter what SMU does, they are going to have to go through him.
