We will, we will Rock the Vote TAYLOR HARDY Contributing Writer thardy@smu.edu Moody Coliseum boomed with energy Monday night as SMU students of all ages and affiliations cheered on their Homecoming candidates at the Rock The Vote event.

Organized by Student Foundation, the event marks the kickoff of SMU’s 88th Homecoming Week. Students showcase their spirit with signs, balloons, blow horns and crazy costumes that represent this year’s theme: Dynamic Duos.

Senior accounting major Hilary Skillman said Rock the Vote has always been her favorite part of homecoming week.

“There’s so much school spirit!” she said. “Plus I love all the balloons.”

The event featured performances from the SMU Cheer team and Pom Squad that got students excited about the upcoming week.

While the main focus of the pep rally is meant to foster school spirit, it also gives the student an opportunity to meet all of the candidates for homecoming king and queen.

Members from each organization went to Rock the Vote to cheer on their candidates and participate in the pep rally.

Each candidate had the opportunity to address the crowd and was asked one question by the emcees.

This year, the potential kings and queens were asked to do everything from shoot a half-court shot to show off their best dance moves to compare themselves to

a kitchen appliance.

Kyle Cantrell, the student representing Christian fraternity Beta Upsilon Chi was asked to show the last picture he took on his cell phone. He proudly showed the whole arena a selfie he took in front of Centennial Fountain.

In the middle of the madness, the students in attendance were surprised by an appearance from Men’s Basketball Coach Larry Brown, who expressed his appreciation for the students’ support.

“The only reason we’ve been so successful in this building

is because of you,” he said, “It means a lot to this team. This school is pretty special.”

Voting for homecoming king and queen started Monday and the winners will be announced at half time of this weekend’s football game against the University of South Florida.

Political analyst talks meaning of life Student Katelyn hall Contributing Writer khall@smu.edu David Brooks used humor and anecdotes to talk about life’s deep questions and the human pursuit of character.

David Brooks warmed up the audience on a very chilled evening with jokes about shopping centers and suburbs at Tuesday night’s Tate Lecture. Brooks knocked his home state of New York and poked fun at American staples.

“It’s like Wal-Mart on acid,” he said of Costco.

But the political and social analyst, New York Times columnist, and PBS and NPR icon soon made a serious change in tone.

For an hour, he filled McFarlin Auditorium with commentary on how to lead a meaningful life.

He talked extensively about the conflict between resume virtues and eulogy virtues, and the traits necessary to build character.

Resume virtues are those people would list as skills for success, whereas eulogy virtues are those like integrity or bravery.

“I think we all know that eulogy

virtues are more important than resume virtues,” he said.

But those character virtues can be difficult to focus on because our culture values personal success so much.

“It’s important to step back,” he said.

You will not be content with just personal success and accolades, Brooks argued.

“Your inner self will not be the self you wanted it to be,” he said.

He commented on how driven students like those he teaches

at Yale University have all done amazing things but are “hungry” for something deeper.

That deeper something, he contends, is character, which can be built by love, suffering, selfdefeat, service to an organization and wisdom.

“We plan for happiness but are formed by suffering,” he said.

He said, suffering, as does love, humbles you and then lifts you up.

“It’s like being invaded by an army, and you welcome the invasion,” he said of falling in

deep love.

Throughout his talk, Brooks referenced historical events and anecdotes about well-known political figures. But the columnist, known for his political analysis, did not offer his take on current events whatsoever during his talk; he focused on his message of how to lead a fulfilled life.

Junior Jennifer Zotz found this to be refreshing.

“I think Brooks gave an unanticipated but beautiful reminder of the importance of character on a campus who’s culture so often puts too much emphasis on material success,” Zotz said.

Senior Kelly Zitka was also surprised by Brooks’ message.

“That was not at all what I expected, and I loved it,” said Zitka.

Greg Lang, sophomore and Tate Lecture regular, found this one to be among his favorites in the past two seasons.

“The greatest take away is that while we’re here to learn, we’re also here to develop as people. There are more important things than personal success,” Lang said.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Student Senate holds weekly meeting Cody beavers Contributing Writer cbeaverscurt@smu.edu SMU’s Student Senate met for its weekly meeting in the basement of Hughes-Trigg Student Center Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. About five non-senate students were present.

These are some of the highlights.

On the speaker’s podium was Rafey Anwar, vice president of the SMU Muslim Student Association.

Anwar encouraged the Student Senate to pledge for the upcoming Fast-a-Thon. Anwar also asked

the senate to sign a petition that would change the way that meat was processed in Umphrey Lee. Student Body President Ramon Trepalacios said that he was going to take part in the annual light walk, Tuesday at 7p.m. Trespalacios also encouraged members to stay until the end of the football game to support the players on the field.

A few members of the Student Senate visited USC’s and Loyola University’s student centers to see what changes they could make to Hughes-Trigg. Some of these potential changes included an

outdoor seating area, a workroom for organizations and a bar on campus. Members hope that graduate students will get involved in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center Renovation Task Force.

While Executive Director Jennifer Jones was on the podium, a discussion about underage drinking broke out. Many members of the Student Senate were concerned of the increasing amount of underage drinking while Boulevarding. The senate discussed ways to reduce underage drinking including putting a cap on the amount

of alcohol that can be brought, advertising more awareness and adding more alcohol-free tents.

The final highlight of the Student Senate meeting was a proposal that was made to the Office of Information Technology.

The senate discovered that many students were unhappy about the change from Webmail to Office365.

The proposal stated that the senate seeks to advise OIT to go through the Student Senate whenever it makes decisions that are going to impact the entire student body. The proposal was passed unanimously.

Senate hosts alumni brunch Katelyn hall Contributing Writer khall@smu.edu

As the campus goes abuzz with Homecoming celebrations this weekend, Student Senate’s Endowment Committee is hosting a brunch for senate alumni.

The reunion brunch will take place Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in Mack Ballroom of Hughes-Trigg Student Center.

The committee hosting the brunch is also in charge of fundraising campaigns and soliciting contributions to the Student Senate Endowment fund.

That fund is the primary source of Student Senate Scholarships, that are available to all SMU students.

Junior Kevin Steinhart hopes former senators will attend the event and donate to support scholarships.

“Having served on the endowment committee for two years now, I really look forward to this year’s Student Senate reunion and hope that we can raise the necessary funds needed for the Student Senate scholarships,” he said.

Those who have any questions or would like to attend the event can contact Tim Hettinger, the Student Senate endowmnet committee chair, at thettinger@smu.edu.

How to survive an arctic blast on the Boulevard Gabriella Bradley Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu

wonderland. But fear not. Staying warm for a nighttime Boulevard is easier than you may think. So unpack your box of last year’s winter staples or head down the road to NorthPark Center for a quick fix. Either way, these items can ward off frostbite so you can enjoy the Boulevard as always:

Brace yourself. inter is coming.

Unfortunately, winter has landed just in time for our game day festivities. Unless you live under a cozy warm rock, you may have noticed the recent nosedive in the outdoor temperature that is plaguing our Dallas metropolis.

Normally, the frigid weather tends to stay away until after Boulevard season is over. That means that my Boulevard closet consists of mostly sundresses and rompers tailored for the scorching days we see for most of first semester.

Considering we were wearing shorts on Monday, and are now huddling together for warmth two days later, you may think you aren’t prepared for a game day icy

The Blanket Cape What can keep you warm better than a blanket? Thankfully, someone decided to make a poncho-meets-blanket hybrid and the blanket cape was born.

Burberry is making a killing off this winter item with its monogrammed version, but more and more brands and stores are picking up on the trend too.

Wear it loose over your shoulders or belted for a more fitted look.

Over-the-Knee Boots

This winter staple should be in your closet long before this weekend’s boulevard rolls around.

Over-the-knee boots are even more popular this year than they were last year (hard to believe, right?) and are coming out in every leather and color you can think of, so pick your poison. My personal favorite is gray suede, a classic that goes with every outfit I can come up with.

Regardless, these boots will keep you warm all night long.

The Fur Vest If I know I am heading into a winter vortex, surprisingly nothing keeps me warmer than my fur vest.

If you tend to side with PETA on most fashion topics, don’t fear, faux fur is everywhere and impressively realistic looking. Pair with a plaid button down or a silky blouse and you are set to look better than ever despite the frosty weather.

SMU student builds her very own jewelry empire Justine McGregor Contributing Writer jmcgregor@smu.edu When she was 9 years old, Houston native Taylor Miller sat with a friend on her bedroom floor, gemstones spread out in front of them. Together they dreamed up the name “Hazen” for Miller’s jewelry line, which started after she repurposed an old pearl necklace.

Ten plus years later, Hazen has become Hazen LLC, a thriving and profitable company. This company that Miller has a 5year plan for, and a forever plan for, too.

“I came to college not thinking that’s what I would do but I think I kind of realized that I shouldn’t give it up without giving it a chance,” said Miller.

Miller is now a senior marketing major at SMU planning to graduate early to run her company full-time.

The line consists of colorful bracelets, necklaces and earrings made of natural stones and pearls. Miller sells her jewelry in more than 100 apparel and gift stores throughout the country, with pieces ranging from $50 to $450. Miller said she sometimes has trunk sales for her friends as well. She is currently expanding her business and is building a new web site.

Long-time friend and fellow SMU student Dale Potts grew up with Miller in Houston and said she was very motivated.

“She’s been like that since she was little,” said Potts.

Miller will wholeheartedly commit herself to the company come January after she graduates in December.

“I am driven and have a goal in mind and I am going to do everything in my power to achieve that goal while also maintaining a balance between work and other things that are important in my life like my faith, my friends and my family,” said Miller.

Miller said her marketing courses have helped her with the growth of her company, especially her directed study with Cox professor and mentor Charles Besio. Besio said that in his 31 years working at SMU he has never had a student quite like Miller. He has been working with her for about a year, preparing her for the next stage of growing her business.

Besio has been impressed by Miller’s work ethic, accomplishments and business savvy. He emphasizes her ability to successfully run a company with a clear vision while maintaining an excellent academic record.

“I consider it a real gift to have had Taylor as my student and I look forward to watching her and her company grow,” he said.

Miller went to market for the first time at age 12 to sell her designs. She now goes twice a year to both Atlanta and Highpoint North Carolina. Now that she has expanded her line so much,

she has people based in Houston that create her pieces after she makes the initial prototypes.

Junior Tori Fitzgerald is a fan of Hazen jewelry and one of Miller’s friends. She calls the pieces gorgeous and fun.

“She comes out with new stuff a lot and the colors are always so vibrant and beautiful,” she said Having started the line at such a young age, Miller had to count on her mother’s help to grow the company.

“When I first started and I began working with a wholesaler my mom had to sign for me because I was only nine and couldn’t have a credit card,” said Miller. “So she has definitely been instrumental.”

Miller’s years of experience have already given her invaluable knowledge about how to run a successful business.

“I’ve learned from an early age how to manage money and the importance of investing and putting money up front in order to get returns,” she said. “Also, getting out and meeting people to network is so important.”

Miller is currently focused on the first steps of implementing her 5-year plan.

She is in the process of developing a new website with a local site developer that will feature online sales for both wholesale and retail. The site will make it easy for the stores that carry her pieces to reorder online. It will also give people who don’t live in the cities where Hazen is sold the option to buy pieces online.

Miller’s ultimate goal is to be able to expand the line enough to create a lifestyle brand much like some of the brands she admires including Aerin Lauder, Kendra Scott and Tory Burch.

“Kendra Scott has done a wonderful job. She has really captured an audience and I’m blown away by what she has done, because she has taken a relatively simple product and made it so desirable at a certain price point.” said Miller. “Tory Burch in 10 years has really built an empire. She’s not stopping with what she already has, and

she is still a mom.”

Family and friends are very important to Miller, as is her faith. She is an active member of the Reformed University Fellowship, or RUF, here on campus and in her church, Park Cities Presbyterian.

“I think plugging into a church and having older friends that I can use as mentors helps to give me a broader realistic perspective on life,” she said.

Fitzgerald, who knows Miller through the RUF said, “She is one of those people who radiates love and takes a sincere interest in others.”

For the past three years Miller has lived off campus in a house she bought through Hazen for the purpose of having an office space. Despite her rapidly developing company, and grownup living situation, Miller makes time for normal college student activities.

“I love trying new restaurants around Dallas and going to movies with friends,” she said.

Miller’s roommate, Lauren Ford, is no stranger to her long working hours. She has seen Miller’s passion and business integrity come alive in Hazen. “I believe in Taylor’s company, its mission, its purpose and its sure success in future endeavors,” said Ford.

Miller’s passion for her pursuits has not gone unnoticed by her peers either. Senior Melody Davis who has known Miller since freshman year has always admired her mature pursuits with Hazen.

“Taylor possesses such a unique combination of focus and poise, that I have no doubt she will be successful in her future endeavors,” Davis said.

For those looking to follow in Miller’s entrepreneurial footsteps, Miller has a word of advice: “Be prepared for it to be largely consuming, it’s a time commitment to be an entrepreneur. It’s not a 9-to-5 job. You could be up at midnight working on something so you have to be prepared for that.

You just have to learn how to set boundaries with your time. I think that’s huge.”

Moody Magic is back, Larry Brown Era continues

Courtesy of SMU Athletics

Senior Ryan Manuel played in 36 of 37 games last season.

Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu Moody Magic is back. The Mustangs open up the 201415 season in Moody Coliseum against Lamar in front of a sellout crowd Friday.

The Mustangs are entering their third season under Head Coach Larry Brown after ending last season in the NIT championship game, going 27-10.

Last season, the Mustangs won a program-record 18 home games, including a 12-1 mark inside Moody Coliseum.

SMU also set a new home attendance record of 107,412, topping the previous 101,296 in 1984-85.

The Mustangs sold out nine of 13 games in Moody Coliseum last season and have already sold out season tickets for the entire upcoming season.

One of the Mustangs’ defining moments last season came when SMU beat No. 7 Cincinnati in a 21-point victory.

SMU Point Guard Nic Moore was nearly crowd surfing after the win when he was hoisted in the air by ecstatic fans.

Forward Markus Kennedy had fans hanging on his arms and jumping on his back. This is oreign territory to not only SMU basketball, but SMU Athletics in general.

The next day the Mustangs returned to the Associated Press Top 25 rankings for the first time in 29 years.

Media flooded the entrance to the locker room the Monday before practice to interview our very own Mustangs.

“We want to be an elite program and we have to look at everybody like they can beat us

and respect everybody,” Brown said. “I ask them why did we beat Memphis? Why did we beat Connecticut? And they will all tell you we played harder than them.”

Another defining moment for the Mustangs was the game against Temple on Feb. 6 which brought Tony Romo, Jason Garrett and Deion Sanders into Moody Coliseum.

“The harder you work the more respect you will get,” Brown said. “We are becoming relevant now.”

Brown sent out an email with, “Cheer the Right Way” in the subject line the day of the game against Temple to the student body.

In the email he thanked the students for their support and reminded them that they represent SMU. “Without dampening your enthusiasm, I must ask that you refrain from using any foul language or other inappropriate actions at the game,” Brown said. “Cheer for SMU – not against our opponents.”

For the upcoming season, SMU is ranked No. 22 in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches Top 25. The Mustangs were also picked to finish second in The American by the league’s coaches. Mustang juniors Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy were unanimous preseason allconference selections.

One of the only questions of the upcoming season came when Emmanuel Mudiay chose to play professionally overseas instead of coming to SMU. “When you lose a player

like that in July and don’t get somebody to replace him it’s tough,” Brown said. “When we have everybody if we all do what’s expected of us we could be good, but we lost our two best players.”

The Mustangs have 11 returning players from last season, including standout Nic Moore, who was All-AAC 1st team, NABC All-District 1st team, USBWA All-District and All-NIT after averaging team bests in scoring and assists. Markus Kennedy is also

returning from his last season performance of All-AAC 2nd team, NABC All-District 2nd

team and All-NIT after leading SMU in rebounding and finishing second in scoring.

Returning seniors for the Mustangs are Cannen Cunningham and Ryan Manuel.

“My basketball IQ has increased a lot and I think Coach has a lot to do with that,” Cunningham said. “Coach Brown is creating a basketball tradition. I seriously doubt a program has turned around as fast as ours has.”

Aside from excellence on the court, Brown is making sure the team exemplifies leadership inside and outside of the classroom.

If someone is late to class the entire team is punished, if

someone does not go to class everyone is punished, and for the first time in ages if there is a loss, the newly formed sixth man will feel it with the Mustangs.

“I tell guys all the time I cut 1,000 guys as good as you, and it’s true,” Brown said. “But I haven’t cut any guys that were talented, that had great character and had this will to win and wanted to do the right thing.”

Brown is building a team with integrity, a school with tradition and the start of a basketball era at SMU never to be forgotten “Your talent is a gift from God and your character is your choice,” Brown said.

Brown is a class act. The era is just getting started and the greatest years yet to come.

Coach Rhonda Rompola enters her 24th season as head coach

Mustangs begin season with high hopes for twin towers Courtney Madden Sports Editor courtneym@smu.edu

Courtesy of SMU Athletics

Coach Rompola has been with the SMU program for 31 years.

Andrew Hattersley Contributing Writer ahattersley@smu.edu Longevity on a coaching staff is something that is rarely achieved in this day and age of sports.

Coach Rhonda Rompola has gone against this trend, as she has been the coach of SMU longer than any player on her players have been alive. Despite being associated with the SMU program for 31 years and head coach for 24, the passion Coach Rompola has for her kids is unwavering.

“I love it, they’re the reason I’ve been here so long. I just love coaching the girls and we have a good time,” said Rompola.

During her time at SMU, Rompola has seen a lot of change for the better take place at SMU. “There is that level of commitment now especially when you look at the new Moody because that place was rocking last year, when we both opened up that night just seeing how the game day itself has changed, the video, what they do. It’s

unbelievable,” said Rompola.

Over the past couple of years, Coach Rompola is not the only person to notice a lot of change.

There are only a few players that have been around Rompola for a couple of years, but they have noticed a different coach than when they first came to the Hilltop.

“Over the past couple of years, she’s definitely been more involved in team dinners.

[She’s been] more personable not only in what’s going on in our everyday lives but we had a barbeque at her house this year. She’s just become a lot more family oriented over the last couple of years,” said Raven Short.

Another upperclassmen on the team, Destynee HivesMcCray has also seen a shift in her coach’s approach to the team.

“She’s definitely way more patient. She tries to put in offenses that she thinks can apply to specific roles and specific players,” said Hives-McCray. ”She wants everything to work for everyone so she is definitely watching more for what players

can excel at.”

Given how long Coach Rompola has been at SMU, players admitted when their coach has something to say, they tune in a little more closely.

“I’d say I have a lot of respect for her because she does have so much experience in the game so it does make me listen a little more. It’s always funny to think she’s been here since before I was born,” said Hives-McCray.

As this team gets ready to begin another season under Rompola, change is certainly a big story this year as five players on the Mustangs roster are first-years.

“You know it’s interesting.

This has been an interesting start so far because half of our team is freshman. So you’re having to reinvent your patience all over again and you really have to do so much teaching and educating, but it’s refreshing,” said Rompola. “It’s been a long time since we had so many freshman.”

SMU begins their season Friday at 6 p.m. when they host Northern Colorado in Moody Coliseum.

Of the five women who signed letters of intent to play basketball at SMU this season, two had national team experience. They happen to be not only sisters, but twins.

“I am elated with the signing of this year’s class,” said Head Coach Rhonda Rompola.

The 6-foot-2-inch and 6-foot3-inch forward and guard, Alicia and Keely Froling, are coming in from Australia as the No. 1 and No. 3 ranked players.

Although they’re only an inch apart the sisters joked they can still share clothes.

They both represented Australia at the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championships in Amsterdam.

At age 16 Alicia, guard/ forward, went on to help Australia take home the bronze medal in the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship in Lithuania.

Now in the U.S., the sisters are still adjusting to the culture and the pace of the game, but

they can’t wait to play their first game as Mustangs.

“It’s different coming here and having different rules, even though they are minor,” Keely said. “It’s been great, even being so far away from home. It’s great to have a team behind you and to have a solid support system.”

The twins played for the U18 North Queensland team and helped lead it to its first national championship in 2013. Keely, forward, served as the team captain and averaged 19.1 points and 11.8 rebounds.

Alicia, guard/forward, averaged 16.1 points with 13.5 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game.

“We play really well together,” Alicia said. “We’ve been playing together for almost nine years and we’re excited to play four more.”

Aside from completing each others sentences, they highlighted their strengths on the court.

“I think Alicia’s greatest asset on the court is how aggressive she is and rebounding,” Keely said. “Defensively she can disrupt people.”

“I think Keely’s best asset is her shooting,” Alicia said.

“She’s coming back from an injury so she’s still working on defense, but she always goes hard.”

They joked about one of the biggest adjustments being their jersey numbers.

Usually Alicia would wear nine and Keely would wear 11, but due to college rules one of them had to change.

“College rules you’re not allowed to wear nine, but I’m still 11 and Alicia is 10,” Keely said.

“I get to keep my number,” Keely joked.

You can come out and watch the twins in action this weekend as they open their season Friday, Nov. 14 against Northern Colorado in Moody Coliseum.

If you can’t make it on Friday the Mustangs are scheduled for 15 televised games this season, five of which will be on ESPN family of networks.

The first televised game will be Dec. 6 when the Mustangs take on Arizona State, away, on the Pac-12 Network.

K.T. Turner’s road to the Hilltop Patrick Engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu Coaching was in K.T. Turner’s blood. Ken Turner Sr. was an assistant coach for six Division I teams, so K.T. grew up with basketball. Naturally, 7-year-old K.T. decided he wanted to be like his dad and become a coach. He often came to practice with his dad, eager to learn the game inside and out.

“I always would go to practice after school and on Saturday mornings,” Turner said. “Once a year, he would even let me go to a road game.”

But when K.T. was 16, Ken Sr. died unexpectedly. He was coaching at Ohio State at the time. K.T. was all of a sudden left without his role model.

Now 36, Turner enters his second season as one of Larry Brown’s three trusted assistant coaches on a team with big aspirations while also living the dream his dad instilled in him. Brown earns much of the praise for engineering SMU’s turnaround, but Turner is essential in recruiting Brown’s next players.

In mid-October, four-star guard Shake Milton surprised many by spurning his homestate Oklahoma Sooners for SMU. Turner had recruited Milton for more than two years and developed a strong relationship with him. He was a huge reason why Milton picked the Mustangs.

“He’s a great young coach,” Brown said. “He’s going to be unbelievably successful as a head coach real soon, but he’s a great part of our program. The kids like him. He’s knowledgeable.

He’s hardworking. I think I hit a home run.”

When Brown arrived at SMU in the spring of 2012, he hired two young up-and-coming assistant coaches, Jerrance Howard and Ulric Maligi. But Howard took a job at Kansas after one season at SMU, and Brown started searching again.

Turner had some connections to SMU’s coaching staff. He played for SMU assistant Tim Jankovich at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College. Ken Sr. coached under Randy Ayers at Ohio State, who coached under Brown. “[Ayers] spoke really highly of K.T.’s dad, as everybody did,” Brown said. “Tim was

aware of K.T.’s dad and K.T… When I considered Tim had a relationship with him, and my relationship with Randy, he was the perfect guy to bring here.”

In June 2013, Turner accepted the offer.

“I really wanted to work for Larry Brown,” Turner said.

“Tim was there, and Ulric was a good friend of mine, so I felt comfortable with the staff.”

Turner came to SMU with a history of winning in his eight seasons as a coach. He reached the Final Four in 2013 as a member of Gregg Marshall’s staff at Wichita State, an experience he called “surreal.”

“It was surreal because I was so young,” Turner said. “There’s a lot of guys in this business who are great coaches that haven’t been fortunate enough to go to the Final Four. It was an unbelievable experience.”

But he traveled a long road to get to the Final Four and SMU. He played his first two years of college basketball at Hutchinson.

He played the next season at UT Arlington before transferring to Oklahoma City University, where he earned his degree in criminal justice. Turner then played professionally in Italy for three seasons.

The nomadic ways followed Turner into his coaching career.

His landed his first coaching job in 2005 at Panola (Texas) junior college, where he coached for one year before moving to Redlands Community College in Oklahoma in 2006.

Turner made the jump to Division I when he took a job at Northern Arizona in 2007. In his one season in Flagstaff, the Lumberjacks went 12-4 in Big Sky Conference play. He moved to Cowley (Kan.) College for one year before returning to Hutchinson for two years, in which the team went 52-12.

Turner moved back to Division I in 2011 at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and then took the Wichita State job in 2012.

“The head coach would leave after a year, so I’d have to go with him,” Turner said, referencing his five years coaching with wellregarded junior college coach Steve Eck. “It was a difficult process, all the moving around, but luckily I’ve been blessed in the last couple years to have great jobs.”

Turner says he is grateful for the stability coaching SMU brings. But Turner’s biggest

challenge everywhere he has coached is getting players to play hard and play with an unselfish attitude. He knows from experience that teams that win in March play together and forget about individual performance.

And of course, his boss has made a Hall of Fame career preaching the same.

“That’s one of [Brown’s] biggest things is playing unselfish and playing together, making the extra pass and trusting your teammates,” Turner said.

Turner’s age helps him deliver that message to the players, who mesh with young coaches easier than they do with older ones.

“You need [younger coaches] on your team [because they’re] somebody you can relate to, [different from] an older coach where they’re back in the old school days,” SMU guard Nic Moore said. “That’s how Coach K.T. is with me.”

Turner coached under successful coaches at his previous stops, but he has learned much more from coaching under Brown, who appreciates the work he does every day.

“He had to start at rock bottom,” Brown said. “For every place he’s been he’s grown, and everybody he’s worked with has had glowing reports about him. I think they all sold him short, because he’s better than I imagined.”

Most of all, Turner still embraces the lessons he learned from accompanying his dad to work. Turner has taken his dad’s words with him every step of his career, and they have helped him grow as a coach and a person. “[He taught me] you have to hold kids accountable,” Turner said. “More than anything else, you have to really have solid relationships with them, study the game and never quit learning.”

Preview of SMU returning sophomores Patrick Engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu Last season’s SMU basketball team was led by seniors Nick Russell and Shawn Williams, but some promising first-years played roles in the Mustang’s success.

With Russell and Williams graduated, last year’s first-years will need to take on bigger roles as sophomores this year.

The trio of Sterling Brown, Ben Moore and Keith Frazier is up to the task, and each has shown growth in practice so far. Virginia Tech transfer Ben Emelogu, also a sophomore, will play a big role, too. Here is a closer look at each of the sophomores.

Sterling Brown came to the Hilltop from Maywood, Ill. and started 26 games as a first-years.

He was not counted on to be a scorer, but he was effective from the guard position and was arguably the Mustangs’ second-best defensive guard, behind Russell. Now the role of top defender is Brown’s to lose, but he knows he will have help.

“I feel like I [have to step up], but at the same time, everyone is going to have to step up,” Brown said. “Everybody’s individual defense is going to have to be key, so it’s going to be a team effort.”

Another sophomore from the Prairie State is poised for a big leap.

Forward Ben Moore was

a spark plug off the bench in 2013-14, but he could get some starts with Markus Kennedy likely out for a majority of the nonconference season. Moore looks stronger and his midrange game has improved, but his best work comes on defense.

Coach Larry Brown has also used Moore as a point guard in practice, which Moore says has still helped him learn his usual forward position.

“From a point guard’s perspective, you have to know every position,” Moore said.

“I’m seeing different things that the forwards should do, especially on defense, like hedging and stuff on screens.”

The most talented of the sophomores is guard Keith Frazier. A former four-start recruit and McDonald’s AllAmerican from Dallas, Frazier brought a lot of hype to the Hilltop. But he did not have the first-year season most expected.

He averaged only 14.8 minutes per game, and while he shot 39 percent on three-point attempts, he forced some shots and he struggled on defense.

This year, Frazier has bought in to Brown’s teaching. He has improved his defense, passing and shot selection. However, he sometimes reverts to last year’s erratic play. Brown pushes Frazier, but Frazier responds well to it because he knows his coach pushes him because he cares. That care is one of the reasons Frazier is confident heading into this season.

“My confidence is really high,” Frazier said. “I always feel confident in my game, I’ve never doubted that. I feel like I’ve improved on my defense, I’m more aggressive on offense.

I’m more mentally focused, I’m mentally there, and I’m in the game. Last year, I was kind of floating around, wasn’t really engaged.”

Frazier can be a star if he continues to grow like he has, and while he still has room to improve, he could begin the year as one of the Mustangs’ starting guards.

Ben Emelogu joined the party late. He played his first year at Virginia Tech, also serving as a team captain.

When Emmanuel Mudiay opted to play overseas, Emelogu decided to play close to his hometown of Grand Prairie, Texas and transfer to SMU. He brings versatility and much-needed guard depth behind Nic Moore. Emelogu’s clearance was unexpected by most, but was a big relief for Emelogu himself.

“I was asking [Brown] every day, ‘Coach are we going to hear something?’” Emelogu said. “I just tried to focus and prepare in case of the best outcome. We’ve just been preparing like I was going to play from the start.”

The sophomores are instrumental to SMU’s success this season, and each of them has matured since coming to the Hilltop.

Mustangs hopeful for 2014-15 season Patrick Engel Sports Writer pengel@smu.edu The Mustangs’ soft 201314 nonconference schedule may have been a reason they were snubbed from the NCAA tournament. But this year, Larry Brown’s team will play one of the harder nonconference slates in the country, on top of some tough conference games. Here is a closer look at six of SMU’s toughest opponents.

Nov. 17 at Gonzaga: This is the season’s first matchup between top 25 teams. SMU faces a still test in just its second game, especially because Markus Kennedy will likely be out with eligibility issues.

This Bulldogs’ team arguably has more talent than the one that earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament two seasons ago.

The formidable backcourt duo of Gary Bell and Kevin Pangos returns, and adds USC transfer Byron Wesley, who could be the team’s best scorer. Kentucky transfer Kyle Wiltjer shores up the frontcourt that could assert itself if Kennedy does not play.

Nov. 26 vs. Arkansas: An underrated Arkansas team is the most difficult nonconference opponent that will visit Moody Coliseum.

SMU gave up 89 points and committed 18 turnovers when the teams met last year.

SMU had no answer for the Razorbacks offense. They made 11 of 22 three-point attempts and drew 29 fouls, which led to

37 free throw attempts. SMU’s deep frontcourt should match up with the Razorbacks’ frontcourt much better this time around.

The X-factors in this game could be guards Ben Emelogu and Sterling Brown, who will need to play their best defense to control Arkansas’ tough and athletic wing players.

Dec. 20 at Michigan: The Mustangs face the defending Big Ten regular season champs, who lost three key players from last year but brought in a slew of talented first-years. The Wolverines shoot the ball lights-out from threepoint range, but will mostly rely on first-years in the frontcourt.

While the freshmen are talented, SMU should have the advantage down low. The key will be the Mustangs’ three-point defense, which was strong last year before fading down the stretch. The Wolverines shoot lights-out from deep, and annually run one of the country’s most efficient offenses.

SMU’s defense will need to be in top form.

Moving on to conference season, here is a breakdown of SMU’s performance against the AAC’s top teams last year and the outlook against those same teams this year.

Jan. 3 at Cincinnati, Feb. 5 vs.

Cincinnati: SMU takes on the Bearcats in its first conference road game.

They defeated SMU the last time they met in Ohio, but the Mustangs returned the favor by pummeling them on Feb. 7 of last season, sending Moody into chaos. The Bearcats pride

themselves on playing tough defense, but SMU had their number last season, shooting 49 percent in the two games while allowing 36 percent. This Cincinnati team does not have the talent last year’s did, but Mick Cronin’s crew knows how to fight and keep games close.

Jan. 8 vs. Memphis, Feb. 26 at Memphis: The Mustangs thumped the Tigers in Moody last year, but blew a halftime lead in Memphis because of sloppy offense. The Mustangs put up points early by using lots of screens, but Brown said that his team “got away from it and started taking bad shots” in the second half. SMU’s game plan for both Memphis games was excellent, but the team has to execute for a full game to beat a well-coached team like Memphis. The Tigers lost their most experienced players from last year, but still have lots talent.

Feb. 14 vs. Connecticut, March 1 at Connecticut: Only one team beat the defending national champions twice, and it was none other that SMU. The Mustangs reopened Moody with a dominant second half to defeat UConn, then got their signature win when they upset the Huskies on the road by shutting down AAC Player of the Year Shabazz Napier. SMU held UConn to a combined 120 points in their two meetings.

Their first meeting in 2014-15 is in Moody in prime time, with ESPN’s College Gameday likely on hand. It might be the biggest game of the year for SMU.

WEDNESDAY n NOVEMBER 12, 2014 Men’s Basketball

Everything you need to know about the 2014 Mustangs Demetrio teniente Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu Hoops season is upon us! Thank you, sports gods, for bringing us NCAA basketball so quickly.

In regards to SMU, we have seen a bunch of things happen since the end of last season – from Emmanuel Mudiay opting to play overseas for China to the introduction of the Varsity app.

With so many things going on and so many names being thrown around, you might not know what to expect from the Mustangs this season.

Lucky for you, I have spent an unhealthy amount of my spare time watching practices, doing research and talking to players.

What follows is your very own guide to the 2014 SMU men’s team and what you can expect from the players (in alphabetical order):

3- Sterling Brown Sophomore Guard 6’6” 200lb This summer, Sterling Brown spent some time overseas for the Global Sports Academy U.S. team’s 2014 Goodwill Tour. He got a chance to play games in Belgium, Germany, England and the Netherlands.

The time overseas certainly helped his confidence and he plays with a bit more of an edge than he did last season.

One of the weakest areas on this roster is backup point guard. If you are at all familiar with this team you know who Nic Moore is, and if not, we’ll talk about him later, but he is the unquestioned starter.

However it really is up in the air as to who takes over when he comes out of the game.

Early on this season, I have seen Head Coach Larry Brown experimenting with Sterling Brown running the point.

Sterling Brown is a shooting guard, but he is athletic enough that Larry Brown can use him as a one, two or even a three.

If Markus Kennedy (we’ll get to him later too) is ineligible this semester he will almost certainly be asked to play all three positions.

Last season, Sterling Brown started 26 games, and averaged 4.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 19.4 minutes in 37 appearances.

With the work he has done during the offseason, there is no reason his number shouldn’t go up – even if his minutes stay the same.

When I talked about the backup point guard situation earlier, Emelogu factors into that uncertainty.

He is a transfer from Virginia Tech where he was a team captain as a first-year.

Coming out of South Grand Prairie high school, Emelogu was ranked by ESPN as the 56th shooting guard in the country.

Emelogu wasn't expected to be eligible at the beginning of the season. But he is eligible now.

Larry Brown has another option at the one or two spots and based on a couple practices, it looks like he will be the first option to back up Moore – if he is healthy.

4- Keith Frazier Sophomore Guard 6’5” 190 lb

15- Cannen Cunningham Senior Center 6’10” 225 lb

He's hot and he's cold.

Last season, you were never sure which Frazier would show up on a given night. In 36 appearances, he averaged 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 14.8 minutes.

As SMU's first McDonald's All-American he certainly has the potential to perform at a higher level, its simply a matter of consistency.

I don't know what gets the best out of Frazier – maybe its the home crowd chanting ,"KIIIIIETH" or getting him involved early.

Whatever it is, I'm sure Larry Brown will figure it out.

Last season, Frazier came off the bench.

This season, it looks like he will start in the backcourt alongside Moore.

Cunningham has been a solid reserve for SMU for the past three seasons.

His defensive efforts have been his claim to fame while on the Hilltop; he is seventh all-time at SMU in blocks with 110 and 9th alltime in blocked shot average (1.1).

Even if Kennedy is ineligible, he will remain mostly a spark player.

10- Kevin Dunleavy Jr. Senior Guard 6’2” 180 lb Dunleavy scored the first points of his career last season and averaged about two minutes a game in his eight appearances.

I would be shocked if we saw anything different this season.

Don't get me wrong; he certainly brings value to this team, but don't expect to see him on the court every night and definitely not for extended minutes.

21- Ben Emelogu Sophomore Guard 6’6” 205 lb 5- Markus Kennedy Red-Shirt junior Forward 6’9” 245 lb

Hotel/Hospitality

Come Join Us!

We are currently seeking highly motivated hotel professionals to complement our team. We are hiring for all departments:

Last season, Kennedy averaged 12.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.6 assists in 25.0 minutes per game in 37 appearances.

NOW HIRING

• Front Desk • Food & Beverage

With another year under his belt in Larry Brown's scheme, he is expected to have a big year.

That's if he can find his way onto the court.

As of right now, Kennedy has not been ruled eligible for the 2014 season. If he is ineligible, he won't be able to play during SMU's non-conference games this semester.

Instead, he will have to try and become eligible so that he can play after the turn of the new year and help the Mustangs as they battle their conference foes.

1- Ryan Manuel Senior Guard 6’4” 185 lb In 2014, he averaged 4.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 17.2 minutes a game.

Last season he was Moore's immediate back up, and had mixed success in the role.

With the arrival of Emelogu, and Larry Brown's experimentation with Sterling Brown at the backup one, Manuel could see his minutes drop.

20- Justin Martin Senior Forward 6’6” 205 lb J-Mart is a big time forward from Xavier. Last season, he scored in double figures in 18 games. Not to mention that 61 of those games were against BIG EAST opponents.

With all the pieces Larry Brown already has, it will be interesting to see where J-Mart lands. He certainly can be a major spark player coming off the bench, but we'll have to see how he adjusts to the new system.

0- Ben Moore Sophomore Forward 6’8” 205 lb When I see Ben Moore, I see Shawn Marion.

This kid has the length, the

size, the athleticism and the ruggedness to be the versatile, shutdown defender Marion was/ is in the NBA. Moore got a chance to join Sterling Brown with the Global Sports Academy U.S. team this summer and just like Brown, he seems to have benefitted greatly from the experience.

There is a swagger about him on the defensive end these days, and there is quite a confidence that he can match up against anyone. Moore can guard one through three easily, and might be able to match up with some smaller fours.He's also an efficient offensive player, and ranked fourth on the team in field goal percentage with 61.3 average.

11- Nic Moore Red-Shirt Junior Guard 5’9” 170 lb I don't even know where to begin with Nic Moore.

I think I'll just let his numbers and accolades speak for me: In 37 games, he averaged 13.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 32.2 minutes.

In the American Athletic Conference he was 15th in scoring (13.6), 15th in FG% (46.4), 2nd in assists (4.9), 6th in FT% (82.5), 2nd in 3PT FG% (43.6), 7th in 3PT made (1.9) and 4th in assist/turnover ratio (2.1) He was also 57th in assists per game (4.9), 33rd in total assists (181) and 93rd in assist/ turnover ratio in the country.

After SMU was snubbed from the national tournament, Moore shined in the NIT and was named to the AllTournament Team, along with the NABC District 25 First Team, USBWA All-District Team, American Athletic Conference First Team and the American Athletic Conference Honor Roll eight times.

Expect more of the same from Moore this season. What more can I say?

2- Yanick Moriera Junior Center 6’11” 220 lb I'm going to go ahead and say it: Moriera is going to be first team All-Conference this season.

Boom.

This summer, Moriera played for the Angola national team in the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain.

He averaged 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and had two doubledoubles while shooting 59.4% FG in five games.

Oh yeah, and he dropped 38 points and 15 rebounds on the Australian national team.

24- Jean-Micheal Mudiay Senior Guard 6’3” 200 lb He played nine minutes last season. You can place him in the same category as Wilfong (see below), and Dunleavy.

All three are great guys, with strong work ethics – this roster is just too deep for them to see significant playing time.

22- Johnathan Wilfong Sophomore Guard 6’2” 185 lb Okay, quick back story – I wrote a piece a couple weeks back saying that Wilfong looked really good and I took a lot of flak for it.

He is pretty much just like Dunleavy and won't have too big of an impact this season, but he does look pretty dang good in practice.

I mean, the dude is dropping dimes left and right.

His effort is there, but his production rate just isn't high enough to warrant more than a couple of minutes a game.

Don't misunderstand.

I'm a big fan of his, but I know he wont contribute a great deal in games.

The Blueberries of Wrath Why we should raise the minimum wage

Courtesy of SMU

The walkways at the Meadows Museum of Art are light up at night in order to remain visible.

Dear SMU, please light your campus I dread Tuesday and Thursday nights.

These are the nights where I go to work at HughesTrigg Student Center for The Daily Campus.

It’s not that I hate the paper whatsoever. I love this job and everyone I work with.

The problem that I have with production nights is that most of the time work runs late.

It’s a given that if you work for a newspaper, you’ll be at work till about ten or eleven some nights to make sure your paper is laid out correctly and all your stories are edited.

But that means by the time you’re done and leave the office, it’s almost pitch black when you step outside the building.

And no, I’m not exaggerating.

Most of the time I drive – yes, drive – from Binkley parking garage to the Hughes-Trigg parking lot just to work.

Why would I do such a stupid thing, you ask?

Because it’s the safest option I have.

That’s the sad truth.

Even though it’s a twosecond drive, I’d rather waste my gas on driving back and forth than walking all the way back by myself.

It’s quite a long walk from Hughes-Trigg to the new Residential Commons – especially if it’s late at night with dimly lit lamp posts to guide me.

And once I pass the Blanton Lee building, where the only source of light is from the lit water fountain, it is pitch black.

Between the back of Blanton and near the Sigma Chi fraternity house, there is no light.

Only once I cross over will I see faint beams of light stream out from the windows of Binkley Parking Garage.

It makes me feel a little more at ease.

Then, the light at the end of

the tunnel literally shines for me.

The lamp posts in between Ford Stadium and Moody Coliseum lead me home.

This 10-minute journey always makes me go through a roller coaster of emotions. But why should I, along with other students who walk similar paths at night, feel this way at all when walking around campus at night?

It’s a problem.

The lack of lighting on the SMU campus at night poses as a danger for students, especially ones who live on-campus.

For example, on the boulevard there is a significant lack of lighting.

This is the main area where students commute between dorms, dining halls and the library.

There should be more lamp posts or lit pathways by buildings in order for students to be able to locate each building.

In addition to the boulevard, areas behind Fondren Library and Hyer Hall should be lit more for students who are walking back toward Airline Parking Garage.

Yes, I am aware that there is already lighting.

But given the surface area from the back of Fondren Library to Airline parking garage, there is definitely room for improvement. (Especially in that nook between Fondren Science Center and Life Sciences to Airline).

These areas, in addition to the ones I mentioned before in the article, should be re-evaluated and changed.

Students should not be fearful

of walking alone at night around a small campus like SMU. After people read this, I expect there to be comments like, “Why don’t you take Giddy Up?,” “Why don’t you just use the flashlight on your phone if it’s that dark?” or “Why don’t you just drive all the time instead of walk if you’re that paranoid?”

And here are my replies.

1. If I feel that the walk is doable, I’ll do it on my own without needing to call Giddy Up. Furthermore, Giddy Up has only answered about one-third of my last ten calls to them. I also personally feel really anxious at night by myself and do not want to wait around for Giddy Up if they do answer my call.

2. I have used the flashlight on my phone in order to see clearly around campus at night.

But isn’t it kind of sad that I have to do this so often that it’s habitual? Wouldn’t you rather be able to see on your own without assistance from your iPhone?

3. As I said before, I drive 85 percent of the time once it’s dark outside. But for short commutes, I would love to be able to walk around on my own without power walking or feeling afraid.

Maybe it’s just my anxious nature, or maybe it’s an actual problem.

I feel as a student for two years here that there could be changes made in order for students to feel safer when walking alone at night.

Personally, it would make me feel less in danger of being attacked and more at ease when I have to walk by myself at night.

SMU is a great school, but I think if it focused a bit more attention on the safety and lighting of the campus rather than the sprinklers and landscaping, it could be even better.

Blueberries are healthier than bread, but more people choose to eat bread rather than blueberries.

In his article, “The economics of blueberries, as metaphor,” Richard Rahn explains that people do not eat more blueberries because blueberries cost 15 times more than bread but offer the same number of calories. Rahn uses blueberries as an example of why the minimum wage should not be increased.

Rahn writes, “A legislative increase in the minimum wage above the market-clearing rate can increase real incomes for the relatively few who directly benefit, but will decrease real incomes for all others.”

Rahn’s theory that an increase in minimum wage slows down the economy and takes work away from the country possesses several flaws.

In fact, an increase in the minimum wage benefits a majority of workers and even the economic elite who make money off the backs of low-income workers.

If people really want a product, they buy the product regardless of a price change.

Rahn reasons that if we increase the minimum wage, the price of blueberries will go up to pay the workers who harvest them: “If you force blueberry growers to pay more to those who pick the berries or restrict their labor supply, the price of blueberries will rise, fewer will be produced, sold and consumed.”

The idea that a higher minimum wage causes a drop in the market value of blueberries overlooks a principle called price elasticity of demand (PED).

Products like blueberries have a PED less than one, meaning that fluctuations in the price have a small effect on the demand of the product.

Rahn also overlooks another principle called the Keynesian effect.

The Keynesian effect essentially states that when more money is given to larger groups of people, economic growth is stimulated.

If the workers who harvest blueberries now have the money to afford the crop they harvest, they are more likely to buy the crop.

Would it really hurt businesses if they took better care of their workers?

One need only look at Wal-Mart and Costco.

Costco pays their workers $20 an hour on average while Wal-Mart pays their workers $12.

Will Giovinazzo Contributing Writer wgiovinazzo@smu.edu

Costco has passed Wal-Mart on Wall Street despite Wal-Mart’s greedy technique of lower wages and lack of employee benefits.

Wal-Mart’s wages may allow it to price their products low, but more and more people choose not to shop at Wal-Mart stores.

Costco’s technique is different in the sense that its employees an incentive to work and produce results. Happier employees perform better, earning Costco a recurring customer base.

The key to economic success is Henry Ford’s idea that every one of his employees should be able to buy a car that he or she makes.

A business leader should want his or her employees to have more money.

If all the wealth accumulates in the top executive’s bank account, less money moves through the system, thereby slowing down the economy.

A rich CEO can only buy so many Ferraris while a poor man needs to buy things daily just to survive.

Give a million dollars to a rich man and a poor man: the rich man will save it while the poor man will pay off his debts or buy a house and clothes.

In order for an economy to be healthy, a strong base is a necessity.

If a higher minimum wage does actually mean We as consumers must pay a few extra dollars, the extra money should be worth it because those dollars will be going toward the person who is handling our food.

We should all want to live in a country where the people who make our clothes and sell our food can afford to buy what they make themselves.

As Benjamin Harrison famously said: “I pity the name who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.”

40th anniversary of Vietnam War remembered this Veteran’s Day Veteran’s Day is the one time of year when Americans, as a whole, can honor and thank any military personnel who have served our country.

While most of us find our own ways to pay our respects to these dedicated and upstanding few, Veteran’s Day is a reminder to take the time and send personal and heartfelt messages to veterans you know.

These veterans have experienced things in war that are unfathomable to us.

Hearing gun fire, sleeping in unpredictable conditions and fighting for their lives on a daily basis are just a few, on the surface experiences that these brave men have gone through.

It is necessary for you to thank these men. Especially this year.

2014 marks the 40-year anniversary of the Vietnam War. This war is a painful and devastating loss Americans have

tried to forget.

Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost and a fighting country fell to communism.

This wound is still fresh to a few in the states today; however, instead of burying the pain and loss of this war, a group of veterans have chosen to acknowledge it.

An adaption from a New York Times documentary titled “In Country,” features veterans who fought in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan collaborating to recreate what it was like for American soldiers in the Vietnam War. According to The New York

Times, the veterans engage in a war re-enactment by hiking through the woods, sleeping in the dirt and carrying Vietnam War-era weapons.

The re-enactment was similar to therapy for a few.

In the documentary, veterans stated that they chose to participate in the recreation to experience that sense of comradeship again, relive unforgettable moments or have a chance to serve in the military once more.

Whatever the cause, the veterans who came together to produce a riveting and raw reenactment allow Americans to somewhat better understand the complex and difficult experience veterans have had since returning home from war.

To all the veterans, we thank you.

DC District profiles continue ridglea willard Associate A&E Editor rkwillard@mail.smu.edu Highland Park: The major draw to this area is the Highland Park Village shopping center where shopaholics can find fancy boutiques and name brand stores.

Another attraction located in this district is the well-kept parks. Active people of all ages will enjoy Fairfax Park, Jester Park and Lakeside Park, which are perfect for jogging, having a picnic, or simply enjoying a day outside while soaking up some Vitamin D. Knox-Henderson: This area is predominantly renowned for being home to the Katy Trail, a 3.2-mile

long running trail. Another major attraction in this district is the delectable food found in the area’s top restaurants.

These include: Little Katana, Ziziki’s, Cáfe Madrid and L’Ancestral Restaurant.

An additional aspect of this neighborhood that adds to its unique nature is the vintage shopping options, which includes both Pandemonium Limited and Froggie’s 5 & 10.

Oak Lawn: Known as the “Gayborhood,” Oak Lawn is most famous for its nightlife that is extremely popular in the gay and lesbian communities of Dallas. Some of the area’s top gay bars include: Station4, Round-Up Saloon, J.R.’s Bar & Grill, Sue Ellen’s Tin Room and Dallas Eagle. In addition to

numerous bars, the area also features several restaurants and some shops owned by gay and lesbian proprietors.

Bishop Arts District: This district is known for staying true to its local roots. One of its most prominent attractions is the historical Texas Theater that opened in 1931.

Later, it was the location that Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of assassinating President Kennedy, was found and arrested after he sneaked into a movie without paying for a ticket.

The theater is still fully operational and a visit to the area would not be complete without seeing a movie at the infamous theater. The area also contains a plethora of boutiques and restaurants.

SMU graduate Brian Baumgartner, “The Office” star, is set to visit SMU this weekend.

‘The Office’ star talks SMU blair croce Arts and Entertainment Editor bcroce@smu.edu Brian Baumgartner, the actor known for his role as Kevin on the beloved TV comedy “The Office,” took the time to answer some of my questions regarding his experience after the end of “The Office” and at SMU. Enjoy this insightful and fun interview.

Knox-Henderson is a hot area to hit for delicious dining choices.

1. How many times have you heard the word office in your life? Do you ever get tired of people just focusing on that?

“No, I mean it’s probably the reason. It’s a show that got a lot of attention and was critically acclaimed, but it’s also a show that I am tremendously proud of, so it’s hard for me to say I get tired of hearing about it. I feel like it has its place in American culture now and moving into the future, and I am tremendously proud to be a part of it.”

2. What is your life like now considering you did that for so long? “I’m not waking up at 5:15 in the morning (laughs). I think what is really exciting for me now is having the opportunity to do something different. I am tremendously proud of the show and have very fond memories of it. For me, it’s exciting though to be able to start fresh and create something different.”

3. Can you share about any of those new projects you are working on now? Is there something in particular you are really excited about? “Over the last year for myself, I really wanted to focus on things that were totally different. I did a

bunch of dramas like ‘Law and Order: SVU’ and ‘Criminal Minds,’ and I was really excited to do a recurring thing on the FX show ‘The Bridge.’ Now coming up I am about to start shooting a movie called ‘Geezer.’

It’s an exciting and different type project. The lead singer of Green Day is the lead and Fred Armisen, Judy Greer, and myself are in it.”

4. Moving to more SMU related questions considering you did go here (and we are really proud of that), how did your SMU experience impact you professional career? “I went to SMU because when I was looking, I believed that it was the best actor training program in the country that was in a large university. I wanted to go to college.

I wanted the college experience. I went into theatre directly out of the program and then eventually made the transition into television and film. So many programs focus on building a career, but I feel like SMU’s program at the time really focused on training. I feel like that’s what is important. Don’t worry about your career first and foremost.

Figure out what it is that you are trying to do and focus on what you are doing and from there, the rest will serve to take care of itself. Also, I did something while I was there and Kathy Bates came, and I thought that was so cool, and then I had the opportunity years later to work with her on ‘The Office.’

That was a special thrill for me.”

5. What is your favorite SMU

memory? “Probably my proudest memories would have to do with doing shows there, but also just being a part of campus life, you know, going to the football games and the basketball games.”

6. Is there something you wish you could have done in college that would have benefited you in the long run that we could do as current students? “In terms of being an actor or being in this business, being open to the business of this business and to what’s going on in this business and having the education and intelligence to be able to track what’s going on to me is tremendously important.

I’ll give you an example.

An actor that stays at home and waits for the phone to ring for an audition and they go in prepared in terms of their own work, that’s one thing, but, for me, knowing the business is equally important. So being able to know what’s going on in all facets is just going to help you. If you stay too singularly focused, to me, you sort of lose perspective.

7. Do you actually know how many M&Ms you can fit in your mouth? Have you attempted this great test? “More than you. I’ve done it on a couple of different occasions, and it’s actually not as easy as one might think.”

Don’t miss out on a chance to ask Brian Baumgartner a question yourself in person at the theater in Hughes Trigg at 11:30 on Friday. If you want to share this fun experience with your friends on social media, make sure to use the hashtag “briansback.”
