Think differently Education reformer Robinson discusses culture RAHFIN FARUK Contributing Writer rfaruk@smu.edu If every person in the world was to consume the same amount of resources as a North American, the Earth could only sustain 1.5 billion people — about a fifth of its current population. Citing that urbanization and consumption continue to trend upwards, Sir Ken Robinson — a noted education reformer — argued that the answer to global troubles lie with culture and history in front of a full McFarlin Auditorium at SMU’s third Tate Lecture of the year Tuesday. “We are living in times of revolution. We have to think differently if we are to meet this revolution,” he said. “We have to do things differently.” For Robinson, the first step to solution creation is accepting the eventuality of change. Citing the decline of the seaport of Liverpool, England — in a witty, anecdotal style that has made him one of the most viewed TED speakers in history — he said that no one could have predicted the downfall of the British Empire. “If you go there now, you will see whole neighborhoods that were once tremendously wealthy,” he said. “The sun never set on the British Empire.” Just a generation after its peak, the British Empire collapsed, ridden in debt and a lack of innovation. Culture, according to Robinson, dictates a society’s surroundings, beliefs and frameworks. Culture, for example, designs a society’s school systems and industry. “The human world is created from the imagination of individuals

Sir Ken Robinson argues that global troubles could be answered by a better understanding of culture and history.
and communities,” he said. And, according to Robinson, that creates culture. While most think of culture as rigid, Robinson asserted that culture rapidly changes. Instead of thinking in terms of millenniums or centuries, people can think in even shorter passages of time. “So much has happened just in 10 years — no iPods, no Facebook, no Twitter,” he said. Technological change and cultural change go hand in hand. According to Robinson, change will continue to occur at an even more rapid pace. While technology is unpredictable, it can be enormously beneficial in solving society’s most difficult problems. By disrupting culture — the old ways of doing things — technology has the potential to create new solutions. “Technology enables us to do
things we couldn’t do before,” he said. As Robinson has argued worldwide, no system has more potential for reform than education. Much like the carrying capacity problem the Earth now faces, education has the power to solve societal problems. But, according to Robinson, this type of solution-making will not occur within the constraints of the current education system. “Education is an industrial system. Students are seen as just inputs,” he said. The current system limits creativity and stunts talent. Robinson remains optimistic about the future, however. “We have it within our reach to convert these systems,” he said. For Robinson, it’s just a matter of thinking differently — less about the past and more about the future.
SMU’s Tower Center took its turn facilitating the conversation around intelligence and privacy Tuesday. The Center welcomed the National Security Agency’s Director of Compliance John DeLong to join SMU professors Jeffrey Kahn and Joshua Rovner for a diverse panel on issues of oversight, legal interpretation and the essentiality of thorough intelligence gathering. While this past summer’s NSA leaks were clearly the igniting force for such a panel to take place, the discussion began far past defensiveness or blame on the incidents and aftermath that unraveled over the past months. Rather, moderator Jeffrey Engel, director of Center for Presidential History at SMU, opened by turning focus to the status of modernday war — one defined within cyberspace, not within lines of geographical territory. The technology that creates the cyberspace battle is precisely what dictates the need for the new generation of NSA surveillance
gathering — intelligence observation that DeLong said is a decision that starts with “law and policy,” driven by “foreign intelligence needs,” not ones of purely domestic origin. With concerns over citizens’ privacy and lack in Congressional oversight, DeLong emphasized the foreign focus of intelligence. If surveillance does move to a U.S. citizen, it is only after the gap has been closed “between foreign objectors…connecting the dots” back to the U.S. “There’s not an analyst at the NSA that wants to come across a U.S. persons [when investigating terrorism],” DeLong said. In his opening comments, Rovner outlined possible motivations behind the “strategic value in performing intelligence on one’s own citizens.” Counterintelligence can be a power’s greatest asset — terrorists and rival states alike perform intelligence against the U.S. As for the value of spying on one’s allies, Rovner cited one instance of seeing “just how vulnerable they are to espionage,” as well as identifying “what their bargaining positions are.” The costs are also great,
including loss of prestige and breaks in alliances when trust is broken. But Kahn made it clear that the NSA question was not one of liberty versus security because intelligence is not malice-driven. “[However,] to say there’s no malice is not to say there’s no bias,” Kahn said, speaking to institutional bias. He posed the question, “Do you want to be the analyst who makes the critical mistake?” The mistake in reference is not one of identifying a U.S. citizen as a surveillance suspect, but one of not identifying a possible terrorist because he or she is a U.S. citizen. The dissent surrounding congressional oversight was also a key point of contention throughout the panel. In Kahn’s words, “what’s oversight and what’s sufficient oversight is contested.” DeLong spoke to Congressional oversight coming from a multitude of government facets, pertaining to legal aspects, funding, et cetera. But Kahn begged the meaning of oversight when sectors of Congress see different aspects of

Leaders discuss parking, basketball, transportation
‘Movember’ team raises money, grows beards
Katie Ballard Contributing Writer kballard@smu.edu Student Senate met Tuesday to discuss a hefty amount of campus legislation, including taking action to get SMU students to the Curtis Curwell Center in Garland, Texas for the upcoming men’s basketball games. President Ramon Trespalacios, along with Dedman Senator John Bonadelle and student Billy Nayden have arranged for a bus to take students from campus to the game against Texas State University on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The bus will leave campus at 5 p.m., and students interested in joining should RSVP to jbonadelle@ smu.edu. If student demand is high enough, Senate will arrange for more than one bus to transport students in the future. “We are focusing on community and we believe that athletic events are a great way to foster community between different spheres on
campus. There is a lot of excitement around the basketball season, and Senate feels the need to support the student needs everyday,” Trespalacios said. The front offices on campus are supportive of these efforts and have provided funding for the buses. The Senate, which meets every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center forum, also discussed the everpressing issue of campus parking. A parking task force has been created within the Senate to present recommendations from the student body to the parking offices on campus. The task force, headed by Dedman Senator Zane Cavender, works with Mark Rhodes, director of Parking and ID Card Services, to create solutions. “Virtually we’re losing every on campus parking lot that isn’t a garage in the next five to 10 years,” Cavender said. Solutions to fix the parking issue included eliminating first-year parking options, parking counts on the outside of garages, and differentiated a.m./p.m. parking. According to Cavender, Rhodes is proactively trying to fix the parking issue, and encourages students to contact him with suggestions and concerns.

Adam Grosbard Contributing Writer agrosbard@smu.edu Most people are familiar with the efforts to spread awareness for breast cancer through the use of the color pink. Anyone who watched a football game any Sunday during the month of October saw pink shoes and gloves on their favorite players. What most people are not familiar with is growing a moustache to advocate for men’s health. Movember is a movement that is spreading across the country to raise funds for prostate cancer research. To show their support, men grow a moustache during the month of November. For the first time this year, SMU has its own Movember team. “Going into Movember I didn’t really have an expectation for how it would be received on campus, just because there is already so much going on, and people are very involved with their own organizations,” SMU Movember Team Captain Jacob Conway. “That being said, I think it has done very well. Word of mouth has been very helpful in getting the message out, and people have been very supportive, especially for this being the first year. Despite what some girls may say, I think most people find the idea of growing a moustache for a whole month kind of fun.” Conway was introduced to the

movement by one of his friends on campus. “Madeline Herskind told me that her dad had become a very active representative for the Movember movement in Dallas,” Conway said. “He was looking for a student to bring the organization to SMU’s campus and asked me if I would like to help. I told him I would be glad to help, and slowly but surely, more and more people have become involved in the campaign.” The Movember movement is also taking foot in the local Dallas community. “This year [the movement began with] a kick-off happy hour at The Green Room in Deep Ellum, held a benefit concert at Granada theater with two local Dallas bands, and is wrapping up the month with a party at Hotel Zaza, one of the Dallas Movember partners. It’s a fun way to bring everyone supporting the
movement together,” Herskind said. One thing that drew Conway to this cause in particular is what it does beyond raising money for research. “I also really like Movember’s advocacy for overall men’s health. You hear a lot about how important it is for women to routinely go to the doctor to make sure they are healthy, but it not as much for men. It is nice to let men know that going to the doctor isn’t a matter of pride, it’s a matter of living a healthy life,” Conway said. In its first year at SMU, Conway is working through the growing pains that come when any new cause is introduced but he hopes that Movember will one day turn into a campus-wide tradition. “The greatest challenge about helping with Movember has been having to be patient. Right now it is important to spread the message, raise awareness, and build a strong
base of supporters and the larger events and additional supporters will come as the organization grows on campus in the coming years,” Conway said. “Hopefully in the future student organizations will have their own teams to raise money, and it can be a campus wide fundraiser and friendly competition. [For now] most involvement is coming from individuals who are passionate about the cause and want to show their support.” One such individual is Student Body President Ramon Trespalacios. “I look forward to growing a ‘stache from now on every November and expect my fundraising goals to keep increasing throughout the years,” Trespalacios said. “More importantly, I expect to see SMU students supporting Movember, either by growing or supporting the ‘stache. ‘No Mo, No Mercy!’”

positive. She also has to be a smart salesman and understand that while she gives a free makeover, she needs her client to buy the product. So compliments are constantly flying through the air in the makeup section of Nordstrom. Such as, “Your eyelashes are beautiful! They are so full!” Or a personal favorite, “You hardly need any makeup! You are so naturally beautiful!” A beauty consultant is also considered a fashion authority and needs to make sure that she is an expert in all the latest trends, tips and looks for this season. “Always use your ring finger to apply cover up around your eyes. Your under eye is incredibly sensitive, and it is better to use your ring finger because it applies the least amount of pressure,” said Salmanzadeh to Anne Maguire, her 60-year-old client. Salmanzadeh even takes on the role of a chemist by describing what is used in each product, and why it helps skin look flawless. “The minerals in this blush are really good for your skin!” Salmanzadeh said. “This eye cream is made with crushed mother of pearl, so it will reduce the puffiness underneath your eyes.” Another aspect that clients do not think about is that each beauty consultant or employee at the Chanel counter has to represent her artistic talent on her own face. “You have to take the time before you come into work to
do your own makeup and look presentable. If I don’t present my line well on myself, then why should people buy it?” Salmanzadeh said. However, even the best beauty consultants at Chanel run into problems with their clients. “The other day. I told a woman as she walked by ‘Can I help you, ma’am?’ She then started yelling at me and telling me how rude it was that I called her ma’am,” Salmanzadeh said. A common problem beauty consultants face is when women sit down in a chair and expect to look like Gisele Bundchen after their makeover. When they don’t, things get even uglier. “I love my job and making people feel beautiful and empowering them, but there [are] always some people who are expecting magic to happen. We are enhancing someone’s natural beauty, instead of changing them. People feel like they have a right to treat you a certain way in the service industry, and that is just not true. My family is from Pakistan and some people feel they have the right to make racist comments toward me because I am serving them as a client,” Masood said. At the heart of the beauty industry there is ugliness. Inner beauty is becoming a lost art. However, it turns out that the very people trying to help achieve physical beauty, in reality have the most inner beauty to share.

An inside look at the price of beauty, Chanel and the makeup industry dOMENICA FULLER Contributing Writer dfuller@smu.edu It is any woman’s dream come true. Dozens of rows of brightly colored lipsticks, eye shadows and blushes that lay perfectly at the front of the counter, just waiting for someone to dip a makeup brush into the silky glimmering palette and try them on. It is a beauty trap that every woman falls for. It is the Chanel makeup counter. While the customer sits in a tall chair starring at herself in the mirror in front of her, a “beauty consultant” quickly scurries around to find products for her. Arefeh Salmanzadeh, a beauty consultant, is looking around for the perfect foundation at the counter and looks up to ask, “Do you like something sheer, creamy or a powder?” Tiffany Stevenson has a mission to try and appear more youthful for her alma mater’s 10year reunion. Salmanzadeh leans forward closely toward Stevenson’s face and works “Chanel magic.” “Wow!” Stevenson said looking in a mirror after her makeover. “Definitely need to buy all of this. Chanel lasts a long time, so it’s a good investment.”

After her $400 purchase, Stevenson walks away content as a supermodel with her looks, and deceivingly more youthful. “You are making someone look and feel beautiful. It is a great feeling. [Your face] is something so personal to trust us with. I feel like a face doctor,” Salmanzadeh said after her client left. It is a rigorous process to become a beauty consultant for Chanel. The Chanel counter at Nordstrom in NorthPark Center is the highest selling counter in the entire department store.

brand in the industry. If someone successfully makes it through a string of three interviews, and a test to see her artistic makeup skills on a real person, the job is hers. When she is hired, she’s required to go to the Chanel makeup school to understand why the brand is the most sought after luxury experience in the world, and to learn how to most effectively give that to her clients. Then it is time to go to perform on stage at the makeup counter, but there is a misperception that this job is an easy one. “Some people think we just sell lipstick.

Supreme Court refuses to hear challenge to Texas abortion law Associated Press A sharply divided Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Texas to continue enforcing abortion restrictions that opponents say have led more than a third of the state’s clinics to stop providing abortions. The justices voted 5-4 to leave in effect a provision requiring doctors who perform abortions in clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The court’s conservative majority refused the plea of Planned Parenthood and several Texas abortion clinics to overturn a preliminary federal appeals court ruling that allowed the provision to take effect. The four liberal justices dissented. The case remains on appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. That court is expected to hear arguments in January, and the law will remain in effect at least until then. Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for the liberal justices, said he expects the issue to return to the Supreme Court once the appeals court issues its final ruling. The Texas Legislature approved the requirement for admitting privileges in July. In late October, days before the provision was to take effect, a trial judge blocked it, saying it probably is unconstitutional because it puts a “substantial obstacle” in front of a woman wanting an abortion. But a three-judge appellate panel moved quickly to overrule the judge. The appeals court said the law was in line with Supreme Court rulings that have allowed for abortion restrictions so long as they do not impose an “undue burden” on a woman’s ability to obtain an abortion. Writing for the appeals court, Judge Priscilla Owen noted that the Texas law

“Whatever is requested I will put in the master sheet sent to Mark Rhodes, and it will definitely be included in our discussion,” said Cavender, who can be reached at zcavender@smu.edu. There is also an upcoming Facebook push, which will present polls for SMU students to take part in and comment on their parking suggestions. “Some of the parking issues will be partially addressed in the spring,
would not end the procedure, only force women to drive a greater distance to obtain one. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing in support of the high court order Tuesday, said the clinics could not overcome a heavy legal burden against overruling the appeals court. The justices may not do so “unless that court clearly and demonstrably erred,” Scalia said in an opinion that was joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy did not write separately or join any opinion Tuesday, but because it takes five votes to overturn the appellate ruling, it is clear that they voted with their conservative colleagues. Planned Parenthood and several Texas abortion clinics said in their lawsuit to stop the measure that it would force more than a third of clinics in the state to stop providing abortions. After the appeals court allowed the law to take effect, the groups said that their prediction had come to pass. In their plea to the Supreme Court, they said that “in just the few short days since the injunction was lifted, over one-third of the facilities providing abortions in Texas have been forced to stop providing that care and others have been forced to drastically reduce the number of patients to whom they are able to provide care. Already, appointments are being canceled and women seeking abortions are being turned away.” Breyer said the better course would have been to block the admitting privileges requirement at least until the court issued its final ruling because some women will be unable to obtain abortions. If courts ultimately find the law is invalid, “the harms to the individual women whose rights it restricts while it remains in effect will be permanent,” he said. The five justices and three appeals court judges who sided with Texas are all Republican appointees. The four dissenting justices are Democratic
appointees. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel, who initially blocked the provision, is a Republican appointee. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, praised the Supreme Court action. “This is good news both for the unborn and for the women of Texas, who are now better protected from shoddy abortion providers operating in dangerous conditions. As always, Texas will continue doing everything we can to protect the culture of life in our state,” Perry said. Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said the groups will continue the legal fight: “We will take every step we can to protect the health of Texas women. This law is blocking women in Texas from getting a safe and legal medical procedure that has been their constitutionally protected right for 40 years. This is outrageous and unacceptable — and also demonstrates why we need stronger federal protections for women’s health. Your rights and your ability to make your own medical decisions should not depend on your ZIP code,” Richards said. Tennessee and Utah are the other states enforcing their laws on admitting privileges. Similar laws are under temporary court injunctions in Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, North Dakota and Wisconsin. In Texas, 12 abortion providers say they have attempted to obtain hospital privileges for their doctors, but so far none of the hospitals have responded to the requests. That means those clinics can no longer offer abortions, leaving at most 20 facilities open in a state of 26 million people. All of those facilities are in metropolitan areas, with none in the Rio Grande Valley along the border with Mexico. Currently, only six out of 32 abortions clinics in Texas qualify as ambulatory surgical centers, and some have doctors who do not meet the admitting privileges requirement. Texas women undergo an average of 80,000 abortions a year.
said. “They leave the room.” Is complete oversight then legitimate if not everyone has “teeth” in the ultimate outcome? DeLong insisted that the NSA is completely rooted in oversight and that system of checks and balances — to have “that constant compliance and that constant oversight.”
DeLong’s resonating point throughout the night, however, was one on the fundamental difference between ability and follow through, in what surveillance collects and what is actually utilized. “There is a big difference between the capability to do something, and the use of that capability,” DeLong said.

Other legislation presented to the chamber included adding the SMU Values Statement into the convocation speech, working with Greek life and other campus organizations to take a stance on social issues, and creating a survey for first-year students to complete at the end of their enrollment period to rate his or her advisor. The suggested survey would be formatted similarly to the course evaluations that students currently

Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms on record, hit the country’s eastern seaboard Nov. 8, leaving a wide swath of destruction in several villages throughout the Phillipines.
Students react, step up to help following typhoon in Phillipines Margot Tollefsen Contributing Writer mtollefsen@smu.edu On Nov. 8, the Philippines was destroyed by a massive typhoon, Haiyan. The storm killed over 3,600 people, while leaving many missing and homeless. Haiyan has affected around 9 million people. There has been ample aid and support heading their way, with about 140,000 bags of relief goods being sent per day from countries around the world. SMU students have also stepped up to help. Patricia Villacin, an SMU senior, has created a Philippine disaster relief fundraiser on gofundme. com. There, one can donate to this cause, and read a little bit about her story. Her family is in Cadiz, which was one of the most affected areas, leaving 7,000 homes destroyed, and 14,000 others extremely damaged.

They are sparse on food, money and clothing. Louie explained that there is much help being sent out to the Philippines, but not much attention is paid to the smaller villages, like Antique. Louie’s aunt reached out to her and her family shortly after this disaster occurred. She was looking
for any type of help they could get. Right now, Louie is currently gathering monetary donations or clothing to be able to send over to her family’s village. She asked for help from her sorority, Delta Gamma, and has reached out to others. “The response has been great,” Louie said. “I’m so grateful for the support of my sisters, and everyone else who has offered up clothing, prayers or support.” Louie can be contacted at slouie@ smu.edu.

Carefully divided Parents’ divorce provides student with unique life experiences matthew costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu My parents are divorced. It’s something I don’t recommend doing for fun. Before you run to me with a sturdy shoulder or a fresh pack of facial tissues, realize my upbringing has been stellar. So much of the person I am today is based on what happened before I even started pre-K, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The people I’ve met, the lives that have touched mine and the experiences that I have been presented in my 25 years of life would only have been possible with my parents’ breakup in 1990. After a rather unpleasant process and the decision to go their separate ways, my mother and father officially split and I was left to see my dad only two weekends each month for several years. In that timeframe, Pops remarried my stepmother and a couple flips of the calendar later they had two beautiful baby girls — my loveable half-sisters. I won’t speculate on my parents’ possible desire to have more children if they’d stayed together because that type of thinking would get me nowhere very quickly. What I do know is that my two younger siblings bring a smile to my face every day because of how successful they’ve been and how much more I know they’ll be. They are the biggest reasons I’m thankful for how my life has played out, and to know how they came into being also made me learn to love my stepmother as well. Another great side of this is the traveling I’ve been able to do in combination with getting to live in one area. While my father continued his career as a military man, moving across the country for a few years at a time for most of my childhood, my mother and I settled in around the Dallas area. My trips on an airplane by myself before I was 10-years old were some of the most nerve racking, and yet most entertaining
times I can remember. Many of these four-hour flights included layovers that allowed me the simple pleasures as a child of meeting the pilots, getting to chat with some very nice fellow travelers, and most importantly, getting excited for the cities I was due to arrive in. Many summers sent me on one-month long trips to Seattle where I developed a longing for rainy weather and a much greener view than what I see day-to-day in the Southwest. After a decade or so of seeing the Pacific from this side of the pond each year, my stepmom was offered a career opportunity to teach high schoolers on an air force base in Japan. It took about thirteen milliseconds for her and my dad to say yes, and the same length of time five years later when they agreed to move to Naples, Italy. I’ve been fortunate to live in or visit several countries outside of North America because of my parents’ separation, and the fun I’ve had is immeasurable. Cultures and people I would have never seen or learned from is worth the time lost from seeing one parent or another. There’s obviously no way around that I don’t get to see both of my parents as much as I wish I could, and given the fact that they now live half a world apart it’s extremely difficult to do so. Thinking about seeing my dad is enough to make me regret all the wasted opportunities I could’ve had with him. In a perfect world I’d simply walk down a block or two from one home to another and be able to see both whenever I pleased, but that’s not the hand I was dealt. At no point in history has divorce been perceived as a positive, socially speaking. It’s almost looked at like a child dying of some disease: is it huggable or do I try to avoid it altogether? Perhaps the fault lies at the feet of those too blind to look at the positives from an experience like this. I know I don’t.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is sacked by San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks in the second half of an NFL football game in New Orleans, Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013. Brooks was flagged for the hit, negating a 49ers fumble recovery in the fourth quarter.
Just put skirts on them, already demetrio teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints came back to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 23-20, thanks to a controversial penalty that allowed the Saints to kick a field goal to tie the game. Niner’s linebacker Ahmad Brooks was given a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty after he sacked New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees. Officials believed that when Brooks hit Brees, the point of contact was the quarterback’s helmet. However, when one looks at the play in slow motion one can see that Brees was not hit on the helmet, but was instead struck across the chest and not the neck area. The Mr. Fantastic impersonation by Brees following the hit may be disturbing, but it also shows that
he could not have been hit in the head. I believe that the following morning Brees’ neck was sore — it was a big time hit. However, he was not taken out of the game, and there hasn’t been any report of an injury. The officials got the call wrong. As of right now, Brooks has not been fined, and I don’t expect that he will be. However, if he does, he has former Ravens linebacker and ESPN analyst Ray Lewis to help him pay it. “I’ll tell you this, if they fine this kid, if they go on record and they fine this kid, [Brooks], I’m gonna do something personally,” Lewis said on air Monday night. “I’m gonna pay half. Half. If they fine this kid, I’m gonna pay half of this kid’s fine, because of one reason — because of one reason — defenders have to be respected as men before anything else. [...] And that man
laid a clean hit and that cost the San Francisco 49ers a complete football game yesterday and could have cost them in the playoffs.” Lewis has a point. The NFL has already handicapped most defenses in the league. When you take a look at the rules that protect quarterbacks and wide receivers, like the targeting rule, the game is geared for offensive success. This isn’t surprising. Offense is exciting; it sells tickets and boosts ratings. Defense slows down the game, thus making it slightly more boring. Now, these rules weren’t put in place to make the game more exciting. They were put in place to protect players and extend the life-span of their careers. Unfortunately, the new rules discourage players from making the ‘big hit’ because they are worried about the possibility of a
fine. The result is poor defensive play league-wide and the birth of the offenses like Denver’s Mile High Express. I’m all for player safety, but the game seems very watered down. Rarely do we see kick returns. It used to be that if you had a great special teams unit, specifically an elite return man, they could be the difference maker in a game. Now, almost every kickoff results in a touchback. I understand the dangers of the game. I understand the longterm effects of countless hits to the head. So do the players. If they are taught the proper techniques, the level of risk involved with putting a hard hit on an offensive player is reduced. I would like to see fewer flags and more big hits.

Performing mostly in a fitting haze of red, Death Grips creates a visceral experience for artist and audience alike.
Death Grips not trying to impress with new record caleb wossen A&E Staff Writer cwossen@smu.edu OK, let’s get this out of the way — the comparisons between Death Grips and Odd Future with the intent of ridiculing Odd Future are half-true. Both groups practice and advocate freedom, unhindered by parents, government or other controlling influences. That’s where the comparisons end, though. Odd Future plays jazz harmonies at their tie-die festivals. Death Grips wants to detonate bodies and reanimate them as enlightened star sentinels. Does that make sense? “Maybe” or “not quite,” but that’s the point. “Government Plates” isn’t a record of manifestos so much as it is an emotional can of worms.
Album opener “You might think he loves you but I know what he really loves you for it’s your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat” opens with a straining organ before collapsing into a smattering of bass. It’s the opposite of “Beware,” the album opener for their first mixtape “Ex-Military.” “Beware” is a manifesto, a rallying cry against submission with a ranting Charles Manson as it’s shining model. “You might think he...” is color, energy, sound, sugar and little else. The rest of the album follows suit. “Birds,” the album’s only single, works jangly, no-wave guitars into a crackling mood piece. “Soft” and “hard” sounds alike are on this album, but to differentiate between the two here is missing the point. “Anne Bonny” opens with
a tantalizing synth line before thrashing itself against a dying robot’s nervous system, bloops and tears and all. “I’m Overflow” is one long chant — the album itself is a series of long chants — under drippy milk wah-wah and chilled out drums. Challenging the tenets of human culture is Death Grips’ main goal. “Ex-Military” felt like a band formally introducing itself to the world. “Government Plates” feels like a band that’s dropped its pretensions. MC Ride’s dropped his individualist free-flow in favor of church stomping on the psyche. After four albums of expressionist noise-rap, Death Grips is to individualism what Public Enemy is to politics. One wonders how far and where the band will go from here, but eh.

Season three winner of “The Voice” Cassadee Pope performed a free morning concert at the AT&T Plaza in downtown Dallas to help promote a new Starbucks Coffee brew. It was a chilly morning in Dallas as Pope, and her crew were getting ready for their free 8 a.m. concert Tuesday. The trees surrounding the AT&T Plaza where the small stage was set up were adorned with light blue lights and the buildings of downtown Dallas stood proud and tall. “This is definitely the earliest set we’ve ever played as a band,” Pope said to the audience. People bundled up in scarves and jackets, a few of them carrying signs that read “We loved you since Hey Monday!” the band Pope was previously the lead singer for before becoming a winner on “The Voice.” Between the music and the coffee, a small crowd gathered in the plaza. It was small, but it was there, and Pope never failed to acknowledge it. She constantly thanked the audience, especially for being there so early, and gave a special shout out to the loyal fans who voted for her on “The Voice.” She explained how since then she’s had the opportunity to tour with Rascal Flatts and will be appearing on the Jay Leno show Wednesday. “You guys changed my life forever,”she said. To this Pope got a series of cheering and squeals in return. The concert was put on in order to help promote the new Starbucks VIA Ready Brew. Several Starbucks tables were set up around the plaza where people were welcome to try free samples of their new coffee. Starbucks workers dressed in khaki pants and white T-shirts were busy continuously pouring cups of hot coffee throughout the entire performance. Even Pope expressed how much she and her band enjoy a good cup of Starbucks. “Being on the road we basically inject ourselves

Mustangs drop first game to Arkansas
SMU conquers AAC, heads to Waco for NCAA Championship
Billy Embody Sports Writer wembody@smu.edu Despite a furious comeback on a 24-8 run in the second half, the SMU men’s basketball team dropped their first game of the year on the road against the University of Arkansas Razorbacks 78-89. The Razorbacks jumped out to a 16-point lead at the half and led by as many as 24 in the game before SMU was able to cut the deficit to six with less than two minutes to play, but it just wasn’t enough. First-year forward Ben Moore was a big reason for the Mustangs getting close, with 13 of his 19 points coming in the second half and grabbing four offensive rebounds as well. Moore, along with Yanick Moreira, who had 15 points, helped SMU dominate inside the paint, holding a 42-16 edge inside over the Razorbacks. SMU has held the edge inside in each of their first three games and have had 17 or more secondchance points in all three as well.

SMU guard Nick Russell (12) and forward Markus Kennedy (5) bring the ball up the court against Texas Christian University at the American Airlines Center Nov. 8. The Mustangs beat the Horned Frogs 69-61.
While Arkansas may not have been able to get much going inside, they shot 50 percent from 3-point range, led by Michael Qualls and Anthlon Bell, who hit three from beyond the arc each. SMU was able to lock down Arkansas in the second half, holding them to just 37 percent from the field, which allowed SMU to claw its way back into
the game, but once SMU had to start fouling, Arkansas converted on enough free throws to put the game out of reach. SMU did miss first-year Keith Frazier, who was unable to play with an ankle injury and instead, Crandall Head got 20 minutes of action, going just 1-of-7 from the field including numerous missed layups.
The Mustangs have to get their scoring going early even if they are without Frazier again in their future games to avoid falling behind quickly. The Mustangs host Texas State University today at 7 p.m. at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas. The matchup between the 2-1 Mustangs and the 0-3 Bobcats will be televised on ESPN3 as well.
Payoff has arrived for the American Athletic Conference champion SMU Mustangs cross country team, which qualified for the NCAA Championships in Waco Friday. This is the first time since 2009 that SMU will be represented iat the national championship, and it was not an easy road to qualify for, having been matched up against 19 other schools in the South Central Regionals. SMU placed second in a stacked field that included the likes of regional champion University of Arkansas, University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Baylor University. “It was a team effort today,”
Head Coach Cathy Casey said to SMU Athletics. “We knew we had it in us, we just had to go out there and prove it.” Barely edging out the Aggies, SMU cemented its spot with a great run by sophomore Tova Magnusson’s 20:49.7 time in the 6K race, good enough for 12th place in the field of 140. Other standouts include firstyears Agnes Sjostrom’s 21:10.4, and sophomore Shanoah Souza’s 21:15.6, earning them 21st and 23rd place respectively. “I was really proud of all our athletes,” Casey said. “This was our goal all season and to achieve it makes me really proud.” Coach Casey and her team will hope to make their mark again in Terre Haute, Ind. Saturday when they have a shot at turning this great season into a dream season.

Five USF players to watch for Saturday in Tampa, Fla. Billy Embody Sports Writer wembody@smu.edu Quarterback Mike White The true first-year at quarterback is the fourth different starting quarterback of the year for the University of South Florida Bulls. But after a solid first start on Halloween against the University of Houston, the Bulls took a step back last week against the University of Memphis. White threw for under 200 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in the loss against the Tigers.
This week, White faces an even worse pass defense than Houston’s in SMU’s 119th ranked pass defense. If SMU can’t force pressure on White, he may be able to torch SMU like he did Houston.
Wide recieveR Andre Davis I watched Andre Davis in Tampa, Fla. at Jefferson High School, where he earned the nickname “Freak Show” and he has earned the right to keep it at USF. The 6-1, 200 pound receiver has a huge vertical leap and has developed nicely since his
first year. In the last two games with White as the starter, Davis has caught 16 balls for 244 yards and a touchdown. Davis did not have a 100-yard game until White became the starter so the two are developing a nice chemistry together.
is where he makes most offensive linemen have issues and has led him to have 7.5 tackles for loss this year. Teams have been taking care of Giddins for the most part, but if SMU doesn’t, it could lead to Garrett Gilbert having a long day.
“DeDe.” Even as a bigger linebacker at 6-1, 240, Lattimore does a good job in pass coverage, with three pass breakups.
Defensive end Ryne Giddins
Linebacker Devekeyan “DeDe” Lattimore
The senior defensive end from right down the road in Seffner, Fla. is a solid speed rusher for the Bulls and, while he has been contained for the most part with only three sacks on the year, he has the athleticism to get by offensive linemen. At 6-3, 250 pounds, his quickness
The leading tackler of the Bulls defense is an athletic player, who has done just about everything for the Bulls this season. With 69 tackles, five for loss, two sacks, an interception and a fumble return for a touchdown, there isn’t a more important defensive player to watch for SMU than
Joyce is an undersized safety at 5-10, 190 pounds, but has made a solid impact in both the running and passing game. Joyce has two interceptions on the year, but has come up in run support well, notching 53 tackles including 3.5 for loss. Gilbert will have to watch his throws up the seam and to the slots if Joyce is going to be covering them, he better make sure they’re open.
