Three cell phones, all operated by the new Windows Phone 7 system, made their debut in U.S and Canadian markets on Monday.

AT&T and T-Mobile are the two providers that are incorporating these new phones onto their shelves.

The Windows Phone 7 system will replace Microsoft’s outdated Windows Mobile software.

Phones running on the operating system were first launched in sections of Europe and Asia last month and hit the market with a bang. Shortages of the phones were reported.

The new system will reach Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel users next year.

Excessive texting linked to problems Researchers at Case Western Reserve University presented a study yesterday suggesting that high school students who text or visit social networks frequently are at risk to adapt a variety of bad behaviors such as smoking and drug and alcohol abuse.

The study is based on questions presented to more than 4,000 high school students in Ohio.

Lead author, Dr. Scott Frank, told The New York Times, “If they’re working that hard to fit in through their social networks, they’re also trying to fit in through other behaviors they perceive as popular.”

The study was presented in Denver during an American Public Health Association meeting.

SMU’s Students Promoting Awareness, Responsibility and Citizenship (SPARC) welcomed the president of Voices of the Congo to Hughes-Trigg Theater Monday night to present a documentary about the plight of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The DRC has been plagued by war since 1998. Nearly six million Congolese have died at the hands of soldiers from both foreign militias and the Congolese army.

Yollande Kayembe, president of Voices of the Congo, and Congolese native, founded the non-

Fans and protesters alike lined up early, some camping out in sleeping bags, to get a signed copy of George W. Bush’s new memoir, “Decision Points,” and for a chance to meet to the author.

“It’s not every day you get to see an ex-President,” said Brian Crawley, 44, who arrived at the bookstore at 3 p.m. on Monday.

Brian wasn’t alone; an estimated 4,000 people lined up for a chance to see the former president.

The sidewalk in front of Borders

was littered with sleeping bags and lawn chairs. Fans anxiously awaiting Bush’s arrival pressed their faces against the windows.

Only a few protesters gathered outside the store. Many carried signs that read “torture is illegal” and “no one is above the law,” in an effort to protest the Bush administration’s use of water-boarding.

The crowd was quickly led away from the entrance and was met with boo’s and calls to “go home” by a crowd that was overwhelmingly filled with Bush supporters.

Bush’s memoir gives behind-thescenes details into the successes and

failures of his presidency.

The book recounts his emotions when it was discovered there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. “No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do,” Bush wrote.

News of his non-traditional memoir has been filling headlines for the past several weeks, and supporters outside of the bookstore had certainly caught onto the frenzy.

Tamera Ranney, 31, who arrived at 2 a.m. said, “It was amazing—my heart was beating like crazy.”

SENATE

Senators agree, pass transportation bills

By MEREDITH SHAMBURGER Senior Staff Writer mshamburge@smu.edu

Student Senate passed three bills during its Tuesday meeting, all seeking to improve transportation at SMU. The first bill asks that the Mustang Express shuttle service be extended to include weekend hours. Bill authors say this would benefit campus residents as well as students and staff who do not own a car. They also argue that it’s more environmentally friendly.

“This is something that the student body would benefit from,” Co-author

CAMPUS EVENT

and parliamentarian Joseph Esau said.

“At the end of the day, it’s really about providing a service that students have come back to us and say they need.”

The bill’s authors acknowledged that this was only the first step to actually acquiring weekend hours of the service.

“Hopefully this resolution will be a statement of support from the student body to pursue this issue further,” Esau said.

Esau roughly estimated that this would cost an additional $60,000 per month. He also said Senate would work with the University to find this money.

Students ‘Take back the Night,’ bring awareness to sexual assault

By ESSETE WORKNEH Staff Writer eworkneh@smu.edu

Sam was eight years old when he was sexually assaulted—when a single ordeal deeply marked the fabric of his life.

His abuser was not a menacing stranger, nor was he an unknown predator; his abuser was an older cousin, someone whom he thought of as a close friend.

“I thought he was like the coolest guy, he was like my biggest role model,” Sam said, his vulnerability apparent as he looked out into the audience.

Approximately 100 people gathered in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center Varsity for the Women’s Interest Network’s “Take Back the Night,” on Monday.

The event was designed to empower men and women to reclaim the night and conquer their fear of walking alone in the dark.

Attendees took part in a march around the Boulevard and recited chants which protested sexual violence. A candle light vigil was held at the end of the march.

During the scheduled “speak out,” survivors and friends of survivors

The HBO documentary, “The Greatest Silence: The Rape of the Congo” examines the lives of women living in the eastern portion of the DRC who have been traumatized by the rape and torture inflicted upon them by militia.

The film pays tribute to women who have survived sexual violence, specifically those suffering from fistula, that have sought medical and psychological help from Heal Africa.

Providing adequate parking to a community of more than 10,000 students and faculty with only 5,980 spots available can be a mathematical nightmare.

With classrooms stretching from Mockingbird Lane to Daniel Avenue, securing a parking spot can be stressful for both students and faculty.

According to Mark Rhodes, director of Park ‘N Pony, the department is aware of the limited parking.

Rhodes said that one way to avoid headaches is to buy a parking permit.

Park ‘N Pony issued 2,000 employee parking permits and 4,600 student parking permits this fall.

In addition to selling parking permits that allow students and faculty to park in selected areas, the department encourages the use of public transportation.

“We provide alternative means of transportation to limit the need to

shared their personal stories of sexual assault.

Unexpectedly, Sam, who preferred to not use his last name, decided to share his story as well. Excited for his cousin to sleepover, he couldn’t wait to watch TV and spend the entire night laughing like they had done many

times before. Sam was confused when he was suddenly awoken.

“I never had a concept of what was going on; it didn’t register. I had nothing to relate it to,” he said.

That night Sam was assaulted and sodomized.

them. “I felt so alone because there was my mom, and I couldn’t really speak, I didn’t know what to say,” Sam said.

Once his mom left, his cousin assaulted him for a second time.

After the assault, Sam isolated himself and focused his energies on school.

“I really did lose myself…being

part of this whole experience…I kind of quickly realized that it happened.

It sucked, but it makes no sense for me to continue beating myself up for it,” he said. “I really have started to become stronger. I have started to regain my voice.”

Following the viewing, Kayembe opened the floor for questions and shared her own personal experiences of escaping the DRC in1994, after her brother was brutally murdered.

“Silence empowers evil,” Kayembe said. “The more people know about what’s going on in the Congo, the more can be done.”

Voices of the Congo works to break the silence, by raising awareness through movie screenings, forums, marches and letters to Congress.

SPARC program coordinator, Katie Schoen, said she felt that it was important to bring Kayembe to SMU to help promote awareness about the events occurring in the DRC. “I’ve always had a passion for the Congo, and I am very pleased with the outcome of tonight’s event,” Schoen said.

Schoen also mentioned that she, along with SPARC, hopes to continue to promote Voices of the Congo.

Scary...

104,000 adults are raped every year in Texas. About 60 percent of rape victims are under the age of 18.

SMU freshman Melissa Maguire related what she endured from her ex-boyfriend to abuse.

“We dated for eight months. The first two months were great, and the six months following; not so great,” she said to the room full of strangers.

“Having been a very awkward

person, I was very surprised that someone would appreciate my personality and also appreciate my body. Appreciation turned into abuse,” she said.

Not knowing where to go to seek help, Maguire dealt with much of the pain on her own. At the time, she failed to grasp her situation as one of abuse, but has now gained the confidence that once eluded her.

“I am proud to say that since then I have learned to reestablish myself as an independent individual. I’m not afraid to share this story with people,” she said. “I’m proud to say that I’m here to take back my dignity, and take back my self-respect, and take back a little part of myself that I thought I gave to someone, and that he always kept.”

Victims of sexual assault can call Dr. Cathy Soutter, SMU coordinator

of Psychological Services for Women, for confidential counseling and information. Parkland Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital are the only medical facilities in Dallas County that provide sexual assault evidence kits. The SMU Police Department will meet victims at any location and provide transportation to these facilities.

Thomson appealed and received a warning instead.

Julia Olson, who lives on campus, said she never has problems finding a parking spot.

“I move my car closer to my hall of residence when everybody is gone,” Olson said. “I can always find parking.”

The parking crunch is not likely to go away soon.

FALL FASHION

‘Mad Men’ inspires revival of 60s fashion Photography

By MICHAEL DANSER

With assistance from Darby Radcliff

Modest and conservative fashion has made a comeback this season.

Fifties and sixties-inspired looks like full skirts, bulky sweaters, kitten heels, cat-eye glasses, scarves, over-sized stud earrings and structured bags graced the fall 2010 runways.

It’s no coincidence that the resurgence of lengthened hemlines and raised necklines coincides with the growing popularity of the award winning television drama, “Mad Men.” Although the show began airing in 2007, it wasn’t until this season that the show’s retro wardrobe aesthetic made the shift from television costumes to the shelves of mainstream retailers.

“Mad Men,” the period drama that centers around the advertising world of New York City during the 1960s, influenced the fall collections from designers like Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Prada.

SMU junior Bridget Bennet and sophomore Ashley Stainton channeled the look of the 60s archetype on campus. Bennett with her short blonde bob played the role of Betty Draper, and Stainton secured the part of Joan Harris.

SENATE: Bill pushed through to ask

Park ‘N Pony to stop ticketing past 4 p.m.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Some senators, including Dedman II senator Alex Ehmke, argued against the bill because of the additional cost.

“We don’t even know how many students would use this service,” Ehmke said. “What if it’s only like 60 students a month? We could rent cars for 60 students a month for less than that. I wanted something more compelling and concrete for how to spend $60,000 a month. It’s just a lot of money.”

Bill authors said that Park ‘N Pony was behind the legislation, but at this point the main concern was money.

Bill authors noted that for international students especially, the issue of transportation is important. They noted that many international students do not have cars at SMU and must rely on public transportation. Dedman I senator Aden Abiye told Senate that she has to walk to Mockingbird Station on the weekends, and she noted that it would be much safer if she was able to use the Mustang Express.

Perkins senator Grant Barnes told Senate that he was in full support of the bill, saying it was an “invaluable service” for those who live offcampus and use public transportation.

Senate also passed a bill that would ask Park ‘N Pony to stop ticketing after 4 p.m. on Mondays in several areas including Airline Garage, Moody Garage, Dyer Court, Sorority Row, Fraternity Row and the U Lot.

additional expense.

Prentice, who authored the bill, hopes that this will encourage students to become more active in organizations.

While Prentice specifically cited Greek organizations and their Monday chapter meetings, he said it would benefit others as well.

“I just think there’s a huge influx of people on campus at this time, even outside of fraternities and sororities,” he said.

Senate also passed a bill written

by Prentice that asks that campus and athletic event parking attendants wearing red or blue shirts instead of orange. Some senators were concerned about the issue of visibility and cost.

“The one issue I have with this is the fact that I want to be able to really easily identify the parking lot attendants” since everyone else will be wearing red and blue, Cox senator Rachel Fox said.

Prentice said red or blue is just as visible as orange. He also noted that the Graphic by JOSHUA PARR/ The Daily Campus parking attendants would be standing in front of the garages and other spots. This, he said, would help visitors identify them easily.

Student Body Vice President Austin Prentice said All three bills will now be presented to President that this would benefit students who live off campus R. Gerald Turner for consideration. Turner has final but don’t purchase a parking permit because of the approval.

Student argues against racially insensitive parties

By MEREDITH SHAMBURGER Senior Staff Writer mshamburge@smu.edu

Senior John Nwisienyi spoke to Student Senate during their Tuesday meeting, pushing that SMU ban all racially insensitive parties.

Nwisienyi argued that parties such as Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon’s “Thug Life” party encourage negative racial stereotypes.

“I’m not coming to you today because I’m mad; I’m disappointed,” he said.

Nwisienyi, who is black, says he first experienced the type of racial insensitivity while in high school at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas.

He also cited Highland Park High School’s “Thug Day,” and Pi Kappa Alpha’s “White Trash Bash.”

Nwisienyi said these types of parties are due to ignorance. He said the best way to deal with ignorance is with education.

Student Body President Jake Torres asked Nwisienyi whether he thought the parties are intended to mock people. Nwisienyi said he doesn’t think they are meant to do so, but that people sometimes are not aware of how insensitive certain aspects of these parties can be.

Meadows senator Shana Ray asked where Nwisienyi would draw the line in his ban. He said he wouldn’t ban parties from organizations attempting to provide education about their cultures, such as the Indian Students Association’s Diwali party.

He said the line would be drawn at parties that don’t highlight a culture, but rather mock or demean it.

‘Megamind 3D’ packs in fun

By LAUREN SMART A&E Editor lsmart@smu.edu

Allison Reeves and Jason Solís perform a scene from Leonard Bernstein’s adaptation of “Peter Pan” at the last Opera Free for All Sept. 17.

Opera Free for All returns with flair Friday

By CHRIS CALLOWAY Staff Writer cdcalloway@smu.edu

The halls of Meadows seem to always be filled with music, but every couple of months Meadows Opera Theatre emerges from the practice rooms to present its finest singers in an Opera Free for All. In September the first performance of the season took place in the Hope Lobby of the Owens Fine Arts Center.

Titled “New Faces and Old Friends,” the concert included new and returning voice students from the Meadows School of the Arts.

Singers performed arias from operas like Verdi’s “Don Carlos” and Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” as well as musical theatre numbers from Bernstein’s “Peter Pan” and Guettel’s

“The Light in the Piazza.”

Overall, 12 vocalists performed in the concert.

Among the many talented productions, Silvia Nunez and Corrie Donovan gave the most exceptional performances. Nunez sung “O don fatale” (“O terrible gift”) from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Don Carlos.”

Nunez captured the anguish of Eboli beautifully and gave a fabulous performance.

With a dagger and poison on hand, Donovan sung the role of Juliet in Charles Gounod’s “Roméo et Juliette.”

Portraying Juliet as she is about to take the poison to feign her death, Donovan had command of her voice and showcased good acting as well.

On a lighter note, Allison Reeves played the role of Wendy in Leonard

Bernstein’s “Peter Pan.” The next opportunity to see your fellow students perform is this Friday at 1 p.m. in the Hope Lobby.

The Meadows Opera Theatre will be presenting “Tell me the Truth about Love!”

This performance celebrates the joys, the trials and the surprising courses that love takes throughout our lives, and is told through music, poetry and the spoken word. There will be selections from “South Pacific,” “A Little Night Music,” and “Nothing like a Dame,” as well as selections from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute.”

As the name of the concert series suggests, this performance is free so grab a lunch, take a seat and listen to your fellow SMU students sing the truth about love.

Listen up, animation lovers.

If you are looking for some good laughs and an hour and a half of three-dimensional fun, “Megamind 3D” is the film for you.

With the delightfully amusing voices of Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Brad Pitt, to name a few, this movie is “The Incredibles” meets “Despicable Me” with enough new material to keep you entertained.

The plot, however, is less than original—two superhuman babies find themselves on earth, the attractive one chooses good, the ugly one evil.

And of course, the movie would not be complete without the love interest provided by the Lois-gutsy journalist Roxanne Ritche.

Even though this is a cliche, it serves the movie well, as Roxanne has a lot more attitude than the helpless Lois Lane.

When Metro Man dies (or does he?), Megamind is left without anyone to challenge him.

As any good villain would, he chooses an ordinary human and gives him superpowers.

This new “hero” Tighten soon chooses to use his powers for evil, and Megamind finds himself displaced, once again. Tighten is voiced by Jonah Hill.

Along the way, Megamind falls in love with Roxanne while disguised as the adorable librarian Bernard.

The story is, in many ways, about finding your way and learning to accept who you are—a message prevalent no matter how old you are.

What is especially enjoyable about

this movie is the 3D. This increasingly popular convention in filmmaking is often headache-inducing and has objects popping out of the screen for no recognizable purpose.

It seems that the technology is finally advanced enough to be used skillfully, rather than frivolously.

There are just enough tricks that you are aware you’re watching 3D without having effects for the sake of effects.

Overall this film is all kinds of enjoyable, and Ferrell lends his hilarious and surprisingly charming voice to Megamind, encouraging the audience, like Roxie, to fall for a super villain with an oversized blue head.

Whether or not you are an avid animation fan, “Megamind 3D” is a whole lot of fun.

ASIA-PACIFIC

Burmese election results: Burma’s main militarybacked political party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party, says it won about 80 percent of votes in the first election in 20 years. The main pro-democracy party, the NLD, boycotted the poll, but other opposition groups have alleged widespread fraud. The election could mark the start of a process of democratization, by giving opposition lawmakers a voice, however limited, in the institutional decision-making process.

MIDDLE EAST

Obama criticized Israeli building plan: President Barack Obama has criticized Israeli plans to build some 1,300 settler homes in East Jerusalem. The row over settlements has caused the re-launched peace talks to break down. The Palestinians are refusing to go back to the negotiations without a stop to settlement building on the territory they want as their future state. Constructing settlements on occupied Palestinian land is illegal under international law, but Israel disputes this.

SOUTH ASIA

Tigers found to be threatened species: The illegal trade in tiger parts has led to more than 1,000 wild tigers being killed over the past decade, a report

suggests. Traffic International, a wildlife trade monitoring network, found that skins, bones and claws were among the most common items seized by officials. Over the past century, tiger numbers have fallen from about 100,000 individuals to just an estimated 3,500. Although China does not officially permit the sale of goods from “tiger farms,” in practice several investigations have revealed tiger parts are being sold. The report called for an improved understanding of the tiger trade and much tighter law enforcement.

Airlines fined over cargo cartel: The European Commission has fined 11 airlines almost 800m euros for fixing the price of air cargo between 1999 and 2006. The EU said that the airlines “co-coordinated their action on surcharges for fuel and security without discounts,” between early 1999 and 2006.

The fines follow lengthy investigations by regulators in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, dating back to 2006.

Recap of Gulf oil spill: The White House oil spill commission said BP, Transocean and Halliburton lacked a safety culture and made serious mistakes ahead of the catastrophe. Co-Chair Bob Reilly called for “top-to-bottom reform” of the companies involved in the well, known as the Macondo well, and faulted a “sweep of bad decisions” by the companies. At the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, investigators, witnesses and panel members said BP was hurried and could have operated more safely if it had taken time to acquire the necessary material.

EDITORIAL

Our paranoia is out of hand EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

I am a dog person. Unashamedly. If my landlady hadn’t snuck into my lease that I wasn’t allowed to have a pet, I would probably have anywhere from one to three dogs palling around my condo as we speak.

So, when I was driving down University to school on Monday and I saw a Chihuahua, sanscollar, run out into the street amidst a flurry of cars, I immediately pulled over, put on my flashers, and Jessica Huseman ran into the street to rescue it.

After darting around a few vehicles and leaping over a puddle, I successfully grabbed up the little animal and carried him to the sidewalk. Upon making it to the sidewalk, I heard, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY DOG?” I turned around, only to find an angry and confused looking elderly woman who, it turns out, believed me to be stealing her prized pooch. I attempted to explain that it had run out into the street and I had saved it, but she would have none of it. She grabbed her dog, turned, and walked back into her home without a word of thanks.

After driving back to school and processing the bizarre event that had just occurred, I realized an interesting trend that seems to be taking over: We never assume anyone has good intentions. In the absence of a defined explanation for someone’s behavior, we always assume that their motivation was to cause harm.

When someone smiles at you in line at the grocery store, you furrow your brow and look away, thinking, “Why is that creep smiling at me?” Or you take a quick glance down at your clothing to see if you may have spilled that sample of juice you got on aisle three all over your white shirt.

If someone goes a step further and actually says the word “hello,” you are certain he must be after you. I mean, why would anyone just say “hello”?

He must want to throw you into his trunk.

And if you leave your book in class, and someone takes the time to look your name up on Webmail, e-mail you and meet you to give it back, then they must have been watching you from across the room from the beginning of the year and stole your book so they could meet you, right?

We have become paranoid. We watch the news at night and become convinced that everyone is a rapist, murder or a kleptomaniac. And if anyone we are not on a first-name basis with even seems to acknowledge your presence, then they are out to get you.

When did this happen? Why can’t I bring my neighbor cookies without him wondering whether or not I drugged them? Why can’t I wave at someone who looks like they are having a bad day without them darting their eyes around, wondering why I’m waving at them? Why can’t I save an old woman’s dog without being accused of being a dog-napper?

A good dose of skepticism is healthy, don’t get me wrong. Don’t go accepting candy from a man driving a white van or anything, but I mean, let’s get real. What is the likelihood that the man who just said “hello” wants to kidnap you? Probably pretty slim. What’s the likelihood that he thinks you’re a jerk for looking at him like he just flipped you the bird? Probably pretty high.

I think we all just need to get over ourselves. Sure, maybe .1 percent of people living in Dallas have ulterior motives for greeting you at the laundry mat, but you are really not so awesome that people are constantly out to get you, your dog and all of your things.

So, next time you are walking home and your neighbor down the way says “hi,” maybe you should just say “hello” back. If you are feeling outgoing, maybe ask him how he’s doing. And next time a college student runs out into traffic to grab your helpless dog, maybe just say thanks.

Mustangs sweep Pirates

By ZANDER GERONIMOS Associate Sports Editor ageronimos@smu.edu

The SMU volleyball team played against conference rival East Carolina University on Sunday.

There was such a large crowd on hand to see the Mustangs that rosters were no longer available when the game began.

The Mustangs took to the court with high intensity and focused teamwork to dominate the match by sweeping the East Carolina Pirates 3-0.

The Mustangs controlled the first and third periods by a score of 25-16 in both periods.

The second period had a lot more back and forth momentum between the two opponents with a finish of 25-21.

Yet through positive teamwork and outstanding ability the girls stood their ground on the court.

East Carolina did its best to maintain a position on the court but could never completely control the net which for a majority of the sets was Mustang territory.

The Mustangs maintained an offensive strategy and solid digs on defense, and their form and ball movements were key components of the game.

Middle blocker Courtney Manning

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 •

and outside hitters Jessica Oliver and Dana Powell played extremely well, contributing to a majority of the kills and blocks.

Oliver herself had a match high of 13 kills, and Powell had 11 kills.

Manning was extremely dominant in the third period with eight kills which could not be returned by the East Carolina squad.

Towards the end of the match, East Carolina continued to battle back in an attempt to win at least one game; however, the Mustangs did not let up at any point and swept the match.

The team ended with a .359 hitting percentage to finish off the game.

This win has increased the Mustangs’ record three-set matches to 8-1.

The total record of the team is now 22-5 with a 13-2 Conference USA record.

The conference record has the Mustangs in second place and with the remaining five conference games they will be in solid shape to move up in the rankings.

The team will play at UTEP this Friday for another conference match that will definitely prove to be an exciting exhibition of SMU volleyball.

The team will return to Moody Coliseum on Nov. 19 to play Houston.

The SMU equestrian team suffered defeat against the Auburn Tigers, 6-4, at BuckBranch Farm on Sunday.

“It was a great day out at BuckBranch,” SMU head Coach Haley Schoolfield said. “The weather was great and our very young team showed much improvement. We are looking forward to continuing to grow over the break and come out very strong next semester.”

The Mustangs were led by junior Jordyn Pettersen who earned MVP honors in equitation over fences.

Pettersen finished with a score of 81. The MVP honor was her third of the season.

The junior has posted a 6-0 individual record for the Mustangs, who are still looking for their first team victory of the year.

Pettersen’s previous MVP performances came against TCU where she finished with a score of 86 on the flat and Kansas State where she recorded a score of 83 over the fences.

Against South Carolina and Georgia, Pettersen also posted top notch performances. She won over the fences against both schools with respective scores of 79 and 75. Her scores this past weekend show that she is only getting better with time.

Junior Emily Gardner and senior Lauren Lieberman also earned points for the Mustangs over the fences to help SMU win the event total, 3-2.

Liberman is a true senior leader on the team and is coming off of a respectable junior campaign.

Last season, she finished with a 3-5 record in fences and received one MVP honor against San Diego State.

Gardner has also been consistent throughout the years for SMU. The junior averaged a score of 75.2 last season and won her match at the Varsity National Championships against No. 6 Oklahoma State as a freshman.

On the flat, Claire Wenholz earned one point for the Mustangs and won her matchup, 80-69. Auburn won the event, 4-1.

The Tigers won the meet with a final point total of 6-4. In the raw score, Auburn just barely had a higher point total than the Mustangs, 921909.5.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

SMU’s Lesniak wins consolation championship

By EJ HOLLAND

Associate Sports Editor eholland@smu.edu

SMU women’s tennis star No. 22 Marta Lesniak claimed victory in the consolation singles at the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships on Sunday at the USTA-Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Lesniak drew a tough match against California’s No. 1 Jana Juricova in the first round of the tournament and lost two straight sets (6-2, 6-2). The loss knocked Lesniak into the consolation bracket, but she never lost her composure.

Lesniak was given a No. 8 seed as she entered the first round of the consolation championship and was paired against Florida’s Olivia Janowicz. The junior swept Janowicz (6-2, 6-3) to close out her Friday matches and advance to live another day.

On Saturday morning, Lesniak faced off against another ranked opponent in Miami’s No. 14 Bianca Eichkorn in a pivotal quarterfinal match. Lesniak pulled the upset with ease and defeated Eichkorn (6-4, 6-2) in two sets.

Just three hours after the quarterfinal match’s conclusion, Lesniak was back on the court and ready to take on No. 1 seed and No. 25 ranked Reka Zsilinszka of Duke.

Lesniak picked up right where she left off and won the first set 6-2, but Zsilinszka responded with a win of her own (6-3) which set up a crucial third set.

The final set saw both athletes battle back and forth, but Lesniak came out on top 7-5 and advanced to Sunday’s championship match.

Unranked Mary Ann Macfarlane of Alabama would be Lesniak’s opponent in the all important final match. Macfarlane’s bid for an upset looked possible after taking the first set 7-5. Lesniak stormed back to dramatically take the second set 7-6 and dominated the third set 6-3 to win the consolation championship.

“Marta [Lesniak] played great the entire weekend,” SMU head Coach Lauren Longbotham Meisner said.

“I was really proud of the way she finished the final match after dropping the first set. This is a great conclusion to an outstanding fall season for Marta after advancing to the quarterfinal at the ITA All-America and the final at

the ITA Regional.”

With the win, Lesniak improved to 18-3 on the season with a 9-2 record against ranked opponents.

Originally from Poland, Lesniak has made her presence felt at SMU. Last year she was named Conference USA Player of the Year and to the All Conference USA first team on her way to a 29-7 overall singles record.

Late last month, Lesniak partnered with Heather Steinbauer as the No. 47 ranked doubles pair and reached the doubles title match at the ITA Regional in Waco. The SMU duo fell to Novakova/Secerbegovic of Baylor in the doubles final.

“Marta is also playing really well in singles, and it is great that she followed her quarterfinal run at the All-American with another outstanding tournament,” Meisner said.

Next up for Lesniak and the Mustangs, the dual season starts at home in the Turpin Tennis Center on Jan. 22. SMU hosts Louisiana Tech, UTSA, Prairie View A&M and UTPan American on opening weekend.
