Dalai Lama a big hit with packed Moody crowd SHABNAM AMINI Staff Writer samini@smu.edu Moody Coliseum was packed July 1 with Dallas residents, students and alumni, all in attendance for the event, “A Conversation with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.” The event was hosted by SMU and the George W. Bush Presidential Center in conjunction with the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth. The Dalai Lama’s visit to Dallas was just days before his 80th birthday on July 6 – a birthdate he shares with former President George W. Bush. Brad Cheves, vice president of Development and External Affairs at SMU, started off the event by turning the audience’s attention to the people in the first row. Cheves introduced the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, and his wife, Laura Bush. Cheves also introduced some special guests who were in attendance, including Michael M. Boone, chair of the SMU Board of Trustees, Rahfin Faruk, student trustee, and Nancy Dedman, one of 1SMU’s 85898_BanhShop_SMU_AD_FA.pdf 7/2/15

“I am one out of 7 billion human beings, no differences,” he said. The Dalai Lama addressed what he believes are the problems with society and the simple fix to it all. “The human brain is a source of many good things, such as infinite love, compassion, forgiveness, and tolerance,” he said. The Dalai Lama also explained how the brain can cause more destructive emotions such as anger, hatred and fear. According to him, a lot of problems that society is facing today is a product of our own creation. “This very day here, we are enjoying peace, using our individual freedom [and] liberty,” he said. “But in this very moment, in a different part of the world [there is] suffering [and] killing. Human beings are killing human beings.” For the remainder of the event, the Dalai Lama emphasized how all religions carry messages of love, tolerance and forgiveness. At the end of the lecture, the large audience sang “Happy Birthday” to his Holiness. The Dalai Lama received a surprise balloon drop that filled the space of Moody Coliseum.

is the second time you get to see him on campus.” The Dalai Lama last visited the SMU campus on May 9, 2011, speaking to more than 2,500 people at McFarlin Auditorium during a special Hart Global Leaders lecture. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from SMU at that event. Margaret Spellings, president of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, introduced the Dalai Lama to the stage where he was presented with a gift of prayer flags made by the Tibet Club of Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas. Cokie Roberts, journalist and author, served as the event’s moderator and sat on stage with the Dalai Lama. Instead of doing the planned questionnaire with Roberts, the Dalai Lama took to the podium to thank the crowd and speak about his experiences. “I want to thank my longtime friend, President Bush,” he said. “Since our first meeting in the White House, immediately we developed a very close feeling, heart to heart. Since then, I always remember him.” The Dalai Lama reminded the audience that whenever he speaks, he is speaking on the same level as every other person.

Welcome to ‘Station Eleven’
Honors Program director discusses Common Reading the story of a Bangladeshy immigrant in Dallas who was attacked a couple weeks after the 9/11 attacks. It became this famous story. This man in Dallas was so upset about 9/11 that he decided to go out and kill terrorists. So what did he do? He just looked for people that looked foreign. So he attacked two clerks in a 7/11 in Dallas and the book is about the one that survived.”
LAUREN AGUIRRE Assignments Desk Editor lcaguirre@smu.edu Director of the University Honors Program David Doyle doesn’t just manage honors classes. He also plays a big role in the selection of the campus Common Reading book. This year, the book is Emily St. John Mandel’s science fiction novel “Station Eleven.” The Common Reading program has been around for nine years, spearheaded by English Professor Diana Grumbles. Doyle took over her role for this year’s selection process. Along with selecting a book for all first-years to read, the Common Reading program often brings the author onto campus and also hosts discussion sessions before the semester begins. Doyle will be leading a discussion of “Station Eleven” in Mary Hay Peyton Shuttles. Doyle spoke with The SMU Campus Weekly about the Common Reading selection process and his thoughts on this year’s selection. Q: What sort of process goes into selecting a Common Reading book? A: “I put together the committee which chose the book. It was made up of faculty, staff and students. We met about every two weeks starting in late October to try to see what had been written and what might be a good common reading for SMU and why. All 15 committee members read a number of books and reported back periodically. Our goal was to choose a
book by the end of January. Then, the committee reports to [Associate Provost] Harold Stanley. He is ultimately in charge of it [the Common Reading program].” Q: Why did the committee pick “Station Eleven?” A: “We wanted to find something that was provocative, that made people think, but that was also accessible. This book seemed like a good choice because it really asked some difficult questions. By talking about the end of the world as we know it, the reader starts to think about what they take for granted because all of the things we have in our lives today are going to be gone in this world. That seems like that was a lot for people to chew on. Also, the apocalyptic aspect seemed like something that might grab people’s attention.” Q: What other books were considered this year? A: “The runner up, the second choice that I thought was going to be this year’s book is a book called ‘The True American.’ It tells
Q: How does the book compare to past common readings? A: “I think it’s the same in the sense that it offers some lessons or ways to think about the world. What makes it a little different is it’s a novel – we’ve only picked a novel twice before – and then the fact that it was this seemingly apocalyptic novel that students might be somewhat familiar with, that makes it a little unusual too. It’s a little more of a soft message. Some of the other books we’ve picked in the past have leaned in the direction of being didactic or preachy.” Q: What is your personal favorite part of the book? A: “I really love the way it opens. It just seems to me so powerful. I’ve read that a number of times. It opens with the Shakespeare play King Lear and the actor drops dead on stage. Then this guy is sort of a wannabe paramedic running up on stage to resuscitate him. That scene is so interesting. Then, by the end of the chapter, the author says that none of these people will live more COMMON READING page 4

The searches for a new Provost and a new Vice President for Student Affairs are underway, but interim leaders are beginning to take over until the searches are complete. SMU Associate Provost Harold W. Stanley took over as interim Provost June 1, after acting Provost Paul W. Ludden left office May 31. Stanley has been at SMU since 2003, and was named Associate Provost in June 2010. During his time as Associate Provost, he aided in the efforts of several organizations, including SMU-in-Taos, the Altshuler Learning Enhancement Center and the Loyd Center for the Academic Development of Student Affairs. SMU President R. Gerald Turner appointed Stanley as interim provost, believing that Stanley’s knowledge of the position will provide comfort while SMU searches for a new provost. “He will provide valuable continuity as we conduct a national search for provost,” Turner said. While Stanley serves as interim Provost, the national search for a new permanent Provost is underway.

President Turner said he believes Vogel’s knowledge of student life made her stand out among candidates up for the interim position. “Her deep knowledge of student life at SMU will be a distinct asset as the Office of Student Affairs addresses the issues that help shape their college experiences,” Turner said. Tom Barry, the SMU Vice President for Executive Affairs, is leading the national search for a permanent VP. Other members of the search committee include student body president Carlton Adams and Donna Gober, Director of Wellness. There is no timetable on when either position will be filled, but updates will be provided if and when advancement in the searches happen.
Two, for all new students, it’s going to be used in your DISC or writing classes. So you might as well get a head start on that first couple assignments by reading the book this summer. Three, one of the things we’re really trying hard to teach students in college is mental discipline. To sit down and read a book over a week, or a few days, and then be able to talk about it and understand what the issues are is a skill we want all the students to have before they graduate. And this is the time to get started.”

AARO leaders share friendship, love of SMU CHRISTINA COX Editor-in-Chief clcox@smu.edu@smu.edu Monday at 8 a.m. they hit the ground running with practice, training and orientation sessions. The work continues throughout the day and into the evening until Friday night where they get a break from their busy schedules. The 11 AARO leaders are required to spend their time at work together, but they willingly choose to spend their nights and weekends together too. To them, working at AARO, the summer orientation program for first-years and transfer students, isn’t simply a summer job; it is a home, a family, something they deeply value and are passionate about. In less than one month, they went from strangers to best friends. “This is the best family that anyone could put together in 19 days of training,” junior Reece Graham said. “How well we know each other is pretty miraculous and I love it.” Fellow leader and sophomore David Shirzad believes their group is the strongest orientation team SMU has ever had. Leaders from last year’s AARO said they were shocked at how close this summer’s group already is. “They told us, ‘We’re so jealous because you guys already are so close’ because theirs was so pocketed,” junior Evan Giacomini said. Giacomini credits Lindsey Koch, director of New Student Orientation and Student Support, for fostering their group dynamic and for emphasizing the importance of trust and friendship among the AARO leaders. Koch and SMU valued the team’s closeness so much that they sent them on a weekend retreat to the Park Cities Hilton to play board games and bond as a group. “We are really working to really get to know each other deeply on a different level,” sophomore Allie Rutherford said. “I know these people better than I know some of my friends I’ve hung out with for years.” The group is full of diverse personalities, but what the 11 AARO leaders have in common is their desire to help first-years and make them feel comfortable at SMU. “My SMU [experience] was a lot about finding out who I am as a person, but I think a lot of that is college,” senior Keya Tollossa said. “You get to figure out who you are and what you want to do without being told what to do.” The group is a well-rounded

representation of SMU, with its leaders involved in various facets of campus such as Mustang11, the RA program, Honor Council, the conduct board and the tour guide program, just to name a few. “We’re here because we want to be,” Rutherford said. “We want to be here for the first-years. We want to be representatives for this campus and show our love for the school.” What many incoming students do not know is that the behind-the-scenes work for AARO begins weeks in advance, as the orientation team meets, practices skits and speeches, participates in team activities and takes a course called Orientation Leadership Institute (OLI) together. During this training time, the leaders updated the program’s skits to make them more relevant. The group used each other’s skills and strengths to make the skits and the overall AARO experience better. “Reece is really involved in theater, so for our skits he sat out and watched them and helped us,” she said. “We all have strengths that are balancing each other out and we are working to create the perfect dynamic.” The group also collaborated with the Mustang Corral leaders and the Residential Commons Directors. The AARO leaders hope this will create a more cohesive orientation team and will make it easier for first-years to transition into Residential Commons life in the fall. “Each AARO leader is assigned to a Commons, which is why we have 11 this year,” Giacomini said. “We are now
in charge of an entire commons at Corral, which is different than how it’s been in the past.” The AARO leaders also met with two to three organizations on campus each day, ranging from the SMU Bookstore to the SMU Police Department and the Moms
and Dads Club. Together, they discussed common misconceptions of them, student opinions and marketing strategies. “A lot of these offices have given us the opportunity to give them input on ways they can improve,” Shirzad said. For example, the AARO leaders’ meeting with the bookstore led to a discussion of possibly decreasing textbook prices and creating new T-shirt designs. “All of these meetings that we’ve had with these offices have shown me that I don’t know as much as I thought I did about what’s going on at SMU,” Graham said. “I don’t think our student body can appreciate this because they don’t get the transparency that we get to see.” To these leaders, the non-stop training and orientation sessions are worth it as they learn more about SMU and each other. “It’s important work, it’s busy, but we’re all passionate about it,” Graham said. “I love working with this group and coming to work every day.” For these students, SMU is more than a college; it is a home and a family.

DeChambeau wins NCAA national golf title BRIAN O’DONNELL Sports Editor bodonnell@smu.edu Rising Senior Bryson DeChambeau won the 2015 NCAA Men’s Golf Individual Championship on June 1. Eighty-four players competed at the Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla. and DeChambeau carded a four-day total of 280, giving him a score of eight-under and a one stroke victory over Washington’s Cheng-Tsung Pan. He became the first NCAA Individual Champion in SMU men’s golf history, receiving the national championship trophy and the Arnold Palmer Award for being the individual medalist at the event.
DeChambeau’s final round one-under 71 was an impressive performance that highlighted his composure under pressure. After a shaky first nine that ended with a double bogey on the 18th hole, DeChambeau bounced back with a bogeyfree three-under second nine. His late birdie on the eighth hole would clinch the title, though Cheng-Tsung Pan nearly holed a shot out of a greenside bunker on the last hole to force a playoff. DeChambeau’s golf clubs also gained a lot of attention during the tournament. DeChambeau is a physics major who has used his knowledge from the classroom to enhance his game. All of his irons and wedges are 37.5 inches long, each fitted

Bryson DeChambeau fired an 8-under par 280 in four days at Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla., to win the NCAA Mens’ Individual Golf title. DeChambeau becomes the first golfer in the storied history of the SMU men’s golf program to win the NCAA title.
with the equivalent of a seveniron shaft and 268-gram heads. “They’re all the same length so I can keep the same swing,
same posture, same setup, so no matter the situation I get the same shot,” DeChambeau said in a recent interview with Golf
Channel’s Steve Burkowski. The change in distance is a result of different loft. He also uses 120-gram JumboMax XL grips, rarely seen among competitive golfers. The strategy was inspired by Homer Kelley’s book, “The Golfing Machine.” When asked why he decided to try this approach, DeChambeau said “I did it because I thought it would be easier.” SMU had a strong performance at the event, winning a sudden death playoff against Washington to be the 15th and final team to qualify for the final round of stroke play. The team finished 14th overall, moving ahead of San Diego State. Ryan Burgess ‘16, Austin Smotherman ‘16,
Andrew Buchanan ‘17, and Ben Baxter ‘18 all contributed to the 11th national top-15 finish in school history. DeChambeau played in his first PGA Tour event, the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn., where he made the cut and was the low amateur. He added to his already impressive season by qualifying for the 115th U.S. Open. He shot an 11-under par 133 over 36 holes at the Columbus sectional qualifier, earning a spot in the field at Chambers Bay in Washington. Though he missed the cut at nine-over par, he finished ahead of golf legend Tiger Woods. He is currently number 13 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Hottest summer trends of 2015 EMILY WARD Fashion Editor eward@smu.edu
for double-duty by accommodating retro charm and contemporary elegance, pair a tea length skirt with flatforms for a daytime party and later with heels for an evening event. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns, such as a floral tea length skirt with a checkered gingham blouse, or flash a little skin in a metallic crop top paired with the longer-length skirt for a fun, new night out look.
From sneakers to ’60s to sailors (oh my!), make this season the most stylish yet with this guide to summer 2015’s sizzling trends. Pumped Up Kicks: Thank the fashion gods because comfortable shoes are here to stay! Instead of saving sneakers just for the gym, prove how stylish kicks can be this summer. Put a lot of miles on your favorite sneakers by pairing them with a skirt to keep the look chic while still being able to run around. A pair of bright sneakers will make a bigger statement than heels when paired with an unexpected evening outfit such as a LBJ (little black jumpsuit). Leopard slip-ons hold the power to make any casual outfit feel more fashion forward, especially when combined with a classic red bag and striped T-shirt. Take bold steps in your favorite dress and sneaker combo to achieve a sporty look without sacrificing any girly-ness or comfort. Mod Squad: Cue the Rat Pack! Sixtiesinspired pieces are trending now and throwing it back to the infamous Palm Springs and New York of long ago. Think pastel rompers, glam cat-eye shades, crazy floral prints and funky wedges. Be a modern swinging gal in retro shift dresses, princess coats and rain macs (this stormy Dallas weather definitely calls for it). Watch any episode of “Mad Men” for more inspiration and don’t forget the winged eyeliner with luscious lashes à la Twiggy to top off the perfect ’60s style. Smooth Sailing: Although most don’t have the pleasure of spending summers on a yacht, that doesn’t mean one can’t take a cue from yachters’ wardrobes and nail nautical-inspired looks all summer long. Sailor pants, striped everything and ropey details will do just the trick. Plus, brightly colored wellies and snug cable-knit sweaters are adding trendy touches to more classic pieces. Keep the color palette simple in red, white, blue and grey to really embody this maritime look. A striped crop top will pair perfectly with high-waisted jeans and beachy waves. Topsiders are great but don’t consider this nautical wear to be too preppy, there’s something to float everyone’s boat.

Pair bright sneakers with a pair or jeans or a casual dress to stay stylish and comfortable.
Fruity Fashion: Fruit is having a major fashion moment so whether it’s cherries, lemons, bananas or a different fave fruit, these fruity prints will be sure to make any street style outfit deliciously fresh. Trendy fruit prints are fun, colorful and perfect for warmer weather so even the most pattern-shy can get on board. Try a watermelon clutch, pineapple pendant or “freshly squeezed” lemon pants to join in the fruity fun. Or embrace the style fully in a summertime citrus romper in punchy colors for a completely cheery and fruity look.

Global Boho: Feeling the wanderlust this summer? Transport style with exotic details such as silky fringe, tribal prints, sequins and beading for a worldly look that is much less in price than a foreign plane ticket. Designers have been looking to the East for inspiration this summer, resulting in decorative ornamental pieces and kimonoinspired shapes. Pair a fringed tank with soft printed pants for a fun, exotic look or combine sequin shorts with lace-up sandals to channel your inner gladiator. A leather bag with beaded details is an easy, introductory way to own mixed prints. Complete the look by rocking colorful, reflective lenses and watch the travel envy disappear. Tea Time: Meet the new “it” hemline: the tea length. The tea length skirt strikes a balance between thigh-grazing mini skirts and floor-sweeping maxi dresses. Falling anywhere below the knee and above the
Palm Prints: Designers were clearly wishful daydreaming about sunny shores when determining this final summer trend. Get tropical this season in prints inspired by the beach’s favorite tree. Irresistible and summery, it’s all about the fronds with this year’s take on the tropical print. Embrace the all-over palm print motif on pants, dresses, skirts, shirts and (of course) swimsuits. Bright palm trees and sunshine-y colors go great together when on vacation but master this look at home by mixing palm prints with navy and grey to turn the contrast down and still look appropriate for summer jobs and internships.

With hundreds of concert venues in its city limits, it’s hard to find just one good place to hear some live music. Here are my top music venues in the city of Dallas. 1. The Granda Theater A historic theater only a few minutes away from SMU, the Granada Theater was originally built in 1946 as a movie theater. Now a thriving concert hall, this venue is the perfect place for students to visit and see some fantastic up-and-coming artists. 2.

incredible live music at the same time. With plenty of notable performers visiting each year, this establishment only seems to be growing in popularity. 3. The Balcony Club A jazz and blues place, The Balcony Club is a great venue if you’re looking for an easy night to relax and listen to some smooth tunes. A laidback atmosphere coupled with a friendly staff, this joint is one that can be a very soothing break from your hectic schedule. 4. Trees An odd name, but a very exciting venue, Trees houses
some of the most fun music experiences in Dallas. With plenty of high-profile artists and a fun area to dance and meet new people, this place is at the top of my list of fun concert venues to visit in Dallas. 5. The Kessler Theater Another venue that houses high-profile artists, The Kessler is a smaller and more intimate atmosphere that allows the concertgoers to really connect with the performers and the other people in the building. A great place to make new friends and enjoy some classic music, The Kessler is highly recommended.
Pixar shines in latest film CHRISTINA COX Editor-in-Chief clcox@smu.edu Disney Pixar has done it again. With flawless animation, an original idea and a wonderful storyline, it was able to pull on the heartstrings of every moviegoer in its latest film “Inside Out.” “Inside Out” tells the story of 11-year-old Riley’s move from wintery Minnesota to eclectic San Francisco. But this is just the B story. What takes the main stage is the inner workings of Riley’s mind led by her emotions: Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and
Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions are hard at work at their home office in Headquarters, up in Riley’s head, where they provide her with advice as she navigates new experiences in her life. But chaos hits when Joy, the leader of the group, and Sadness get pulled out of Headquarters and thrown into the inner workings of Riley’s mind. Without the two, Riley’s remaining emotions scramble to keep the independent tomboy happy; however, they cannot operate with a quarter of their team missing. Much like “Up” and “Finding Nemo,” “Inside Out” takes its viewers on a humorous yet emotional adventure; this
time, through a child’s mind and emotions. The film finds a lighthearted way to navigate the maze that is the human mind, while demonstrating the value of teamwork and family ties. Critics are impressed with the movie as well, calling it “one of the best Pixar films of all time” because of its visually inventive animation and original storyline. “Inside Out” is funny and fast-moving as it conveys how each experience impacts a core part of one’s personality. The film also confronts emotions head-on, proving the need for equilibrium between emotions not only behind the control panel, but also in life.

Make summer ‘cool’ Five great things to do in Uptown Dallas GRANT BYNUM Contributing Writer helpnow@uptown101.com Hello SMU students! If you are like me and you might need a break from regular routines or just blow off stress, then go just a few minutes south of campus to Uptown Dallas! There are plenty of fun or relaxing things to do. Let’s explore just a few:
GQ looks made easy: Suit Supply's grand opening Do you want to look like a GQ cover? Or remake your boyfriend's look so he can meet your parents? Time to stop the pretending from mall stores and head to the fashion event of the summer - Suit Supply in the West Village (just now opening in June)! Think of a NYC style suit and clothing store for men, with custom tailoring and great service...minus the stuffy and the stodgy! And, look who's raving about it: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Vanity Fair and GQ! One of my favorite things about Suit Supply? They put together perfect "look" combinations that are brilliant...so save time and buy the whole look!
The farm comes to youSaturdays - 8 a.m. to noon One important thing to help get to the perfect you is to get the right foods working inside. Uptown has recently opened a weekly Farmer's Market each Saturday, from 8 a.m. to noon to help you do just that. Think easy organic foods at a great price! The Uptown Market is in the sunny outdoors and features local vendors, live music and even food trucks. It's a great way to enjoy the sun and relax on a Saturday morning and get healthy for the week! All inner geeks, rejoice! Classic video game night at Renfields Corner - Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Need a fun break that doesn't require knowing how to work 20 buttons on a single video controller? Take your stress...and your friends...and enjoy old school video games and more! Every Tuesday night after 9 p.m., this pub brings out the best of the '90s (and new systems as well) such as Mario Kart for Game Cube, Dr. Mario for the original NES and even Mortal Kombat on 120inch projection screens! For ultimate geekdom, compete in
their tournament to win prizes. Vino primo! Gather wine knowledge and impress the best - Thursdays at 6:15 p.m. Don't know the difference between chardonnay and cabernet? Want to bone up on wine knowledge to impress friends, employers or a future love interests? Come join in for weekly WINE CHATS from noted wine expert Michael Flynn, with 20 years of experience as a wine director. The evening starts with a lecture to learn about a particular wine or vintage. Then, start chatting with others after the lecture with your new found knowledge. Great way to meet people and relax while still getting your sophistication groove up. Free music at Klyde Warren: Set list on the green Thursdays at 7 p.m. Grab a lawn chair, pack a picnic and enjoy local artists strumming their hearts out at Klyde Warren Park. Several artists each night, with different styles and vocals. Grant Bynum blogs at Uptown101. Look for him out and about in Uptown.

Six reasons to love SMU Skip the brochure, because unless you’re an art junkie, the Dallas Museum isn’t the best part about attending SMU. Also, SMU’s brochure doesn’t cover what you’ll experience on a daily basis. There are more reasons to love SMU other than living in a big city powerhouse, being able to network with students and alumni around the world, and cheering on the many successful sports team in Dallas and on campus. Our university has a lot more to offer besides a big city playground and well-kept lawn. Once you start the fall semester, stay on the lookout for SMU’s daily wonders:
1. BE AUTIFUL WOMEN Pause. Look around. Read again. Now fellas, let me ask you, “Am I right?” You don’t even have to speak, that jaw on the ground says more than enough. Save your money trying to find more gorgeous girls somewhere else because all the ladies at SMU are already world-class.
2 . HANDSOME MEN Ladies, don’t think we have your type? Oh, believe me, we have your type. Turn one corner and you’ll fall in love twice. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. To answer your

student-organized and student-managed organizations. Alongside an observing SMU professor or staff member, students have complete control over the clubs they start, lead or take part in. We have clubs for almost every interest you can imagine. If there isn’t one, start your own and other students will join.
nicksonc@smu.edu
5. WE’RE NOT TCU! question, no, you have not entered the set of “Magic Mike.” Welcome to SMU.
‘Nuff said.
3. GREEK LIFE
6. OUR STUDENT BODY
SMU has one of the greatest Greek milieus in the nation. Total Frat Move, or TFM, ranked SMU among the top 10 universities for Greek Life, beating out universities like LSU and Arkansas. Don’t believe any rumors or stereotypes about fraternity and sorority pledgeship. Here at SMU, we have zero tolerance for hazing of any kind. None. Whatsoever. I swear.
You know what makes our student body amazing? You. You and your myriad of experiences, thoughts and talents. Your presence here increases our university’s standard, culture and life. Roaming around campus, you’ll constantly be struck by an enchanting feeling of wonder: the realization that each Mustang is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. I could go on and on about the near infinite reasons why SMU soars higher than how it’s portrayed in the pamphlet: from our active Student Senate to wondrous academics and a spectacular community. Most importantly, you’ll love SMU because it’s a place you’ll passionately call home.
4. NUMEROUS CLUBS No, I don’t mean “unce, unce” clubs (we have those, but you won’t have to worry about them because you’re probably not 21 on your real ID). I’m talking about student clubs – that is student-run,
Five things first-years need to know NICKSON CHONG Opinion Editor nicksonc@smu.edu The culture of SMU will hit you harder than the realization that you’ve survived high school and you’re actually in college now. Congratulations! In your first year at SMU, you might find yourself asking more questions about our campus than classes – if you go. Unlike Dallas’ fickle weather and tornado warnings, you can plan and brace yourself for whatever jargon might come your way. Figuring out who’s who and what’s what, here are five things the class of 2019 needs to know.
COACH L ARRY BROWN He never attended rush week but got a bid from every fraternity. Before he
walks past a running sprinkler, it shuts off. Alumni call him for donations. He is the only man who can restrain Peruna by himself, Coach Larry Brown. In 2015, he led the 27-7 Mustangs into the NCAA and revived SMU’s faith in our men’s basketball team.
BOULE VARDING SMU’s version of tailgating, Boulevarding takes place on Dallas lawn and the stretch of road that extends from the flagpole. Fans from both teams chill, grill and relax before the start of another beautiful day made better by college football.
GIDDY UP Giddy Up is a transportation service by golf cart to take you anywhere on campus. If you can get a ride, it’s really convenient and saves you time.
PERUNA SMU’s mighty mascot, Peruna got its name from “medicinal” alcohol during Prohibition. Not only did Peruna drop a deuce on TCU’s new turf, but also karatekicked and killed the Fordham Ram. Peruna, who must be restrained by four handlers, is undoubtedly the best mascot in college football.
FIRE AL ARMS SMU conducts semesterly fire drills, but those won’t be the ones that annoy you. Most residential commons have a community microwave, unfortunately. A lot of SMU students like to microwave popcorn, but a significant number of them don’t know how. To avoid causing unwanted or avoidable fire drills, please learn how to properly cook your popcorn. I beg you.
