Diamond Rebs out of NCAA tournament

The Ole Miss baseball team (30-25, 13-17 SEC) learned Monday that its season would not con-tinue this weekend in an NCAA Regional as the Diamond Rebels miss the postseason for the fi rst time since 2002, ending a streak of eight consecutive NCAA Tour-nament appearances. The season also ends with Ole Miss register-ing its fewest wins in head coach Mike Bianco’s 11-year tenure.

“I’m not surprised,” Bianco said. “Certainly not after what’s happened the last two days, par-ticularly, but also the last three or four days in the (conference) tournaments. If you don’t make it to Hoover, you’re always uncom-fortable about the situation, but you’re hopeful.”

A rash of upsets in conference tournaments this past weekend – No. 6 seed New Mexico in the Mountain West, No. 6 seed Bel-mont in the Atlantic Sun, No. 5 seed Seton Hall in the Big East, and No. 8 seed Arkansas-Little Rock in the Sun Belt – and Geor-gia’s improbable run to NCAA Tournament eligibility at the Southeastern Conference Tour-nament stole at-large bids and shrank the bubble for teams like Ole Miss.

“There were days where I thought things went our way, and there were days it didn’t, but over the last couple of days, certainly, I thought it didn’t really go our way and it would not be realistic

to think we were getting in,” Bi-anco said.

With a solid RPI (41) and strength of schedule (23), Ole Miss found itself in the conversa-tion for an at-large bid, but, in the end, its record and absence from

the SEC Tournament positioned the Diamond Rebels on the out-side looking in for the NCAA Tournament.

Hopes of a postseason bid ended for Auburn (29-29) after a 0-for-2 effort at the SEC Tourna-

ment because at-large teams must be above .500 to be eligible for the NCAA Tournament.

However, the biggest surprise Monday was the exclusion of

African-American Greek orga-nizations have come a long way in the past several years but on some college campuses their commu-nity service and philanthropy go unnoticed. At the University of Mississippi, many of the African-American sororities and fraterni-ties seem to mostly fl y under the radar, no matter how many good deeds they do.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council is an organization com-prised of nine traditionally Afri-can -merican sororities and fra-ternities, sometimes referred to as the “divine nine,” and all nine of these organizations are repre-sented on the Ole Miss campus. None of them have houses on

campus anymore and some of them never did. In light of this fact, these fraternities and sorori-ties often struggle with fi nding places to conduct their meetings, parties and other get-togethers and they also struggle with simply being noticed.

Chioma Udemgba, Theta Psi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha president, said it can be very chal-lenging for a sorority or fraternity that doesn’t have its own space on campus.

“There are just so many obsta-cles that come with not having a place that’s your own,” Udemgba said. “We’re always shuffl ing be-tween places.”

“We don’t have an offi ce or a place where we can have our regu-lar chapter meetings or a place where we can all sit together and

eat or hang out or anything like that,” Udemgba continued. ”We have our meetings in the Union and if somebody else wants the room then we have to leave.”

Finding a place to have parties and group get-togethers can also be a problem, she said.

“Right now most of the stuff we do is at the plaza at the Resi-dential College and that’s fi ne, but it presents a lot of problems,” she continued. “You have to get per-mission to do it and you have to take into account that people live there if you’re going to have mu-sic.”

Still, Udemgba said, some of the buildings on campus are usu-ally very helpful with providing a space to meet.

“We kind of depend on people being accommodating,” she said.

“There are some people that are really fl exible with allowing us to use their space.”

One of the major frustrations, Udemgba said, is not being rec-ognized for all the community services the NPHC organizations do.

“When I was trying to orga-nize a fundraising event, I went to some of the administrators on campus and in one of the offi ces the lady I was talking to had never even heard of us,” Udemgba said. “You think you’re doing something good for the community and you realize that infl uential members of that community don’t even know you exist.”

Bracey Harris, a freshman jour-nalism major, is one of the few African-American girls to pledge a traditionally white sorority this

year and said she feels that the small size of the African Ameri-can Greek organizations does hurt their stature on campus.

“With the houses and numbers, the bigger sororities are more prominent,” Harris said. “If you want to run for a position on the ASB council or something, you’re going to get more attention on campus if you’re in one of the bigger sororities or fraternities.”

Coulter Ward, assistant dean of students for student affairs, thinks that while the traditionally African-American Greek organi-zations do face adversity and get less attention, they are still strong groups and do a lot for the com-munity.

“Other sororities dominate with

There have been many argu-ments about what is the best and highest paying job a person can have. There have been discus-sions, books and even the spirit of life connected to those high paying jobs.

It is the doctors, lawyers and clergymen who have the most valuable and highest paying jobs in the world.

Out of these three, discus-sions on which is the best are never ending.

A doctor is a single human be-ing who promotes the health of others. They are the ones who help keep the human population thriving. They are the people whom we trust our lives with. In emergency surgery, they are the ones who keep us alive and help us fi ght for our lives. We trust their judgment in any decision they make.

Even the doctors of therapy bring us back to life. A doctor

of physical therapy helps us to learn how to walk again or go up and down the stairs after we are injured in an automobile acci-dent. An occupational therapist teaches us fi ne motor skills again -- things as simple as opening a water bottle cap. A speech thera-pist can teach a toddler how to annunciate their “r’s”. From a medical doctor to a therapist, each and every one promotes health and the existence of hu-man life.

Lawyers fi ght for justice within the human life. When a person is wronged in any way, a lawyer is right there seeking justice for the person who was wronged. A lawyer could be someone who is seeking justice in murder, divorce settlement or lawsuit. A lawyer’s job is to protect and promote justice in human life so we can thrive in the future and have a fair and just life. Automatically, the average person understands

that doctors and lawyers are be-ing paid the most.

So there’s the question, “Where’s the money in being a clergyman?”

In this case, being paid is not with money. For the clergymen, the ultimate “pay day” is having all of their hard work going to-ward living in the kingdom of heaven after they die. Accord-ing to them, going to heaven is priceless, since the action cannot be bought.

Now, let’s look at the every-one’s salary and job outlook.

For doctors that are in primary care, their salary is $186,044 per year. For medical doctors, their salary is $339,738 per year. Their job outlook is very impressive with a 22 percent increase by the year 2018.

In a year, lawyers can earn up to $163,320, depending on what type of law they choose to practice. Their job outlook has a

13 percent increase by the year 2018.

For clergymen, their salary is an average of $45,440 per year, and the job outlook depends on which religion the clergyman chooses to follow and practice.

In the pursuit of happiness, a person should choose what they want to do in life by how happy they will be in their everyday life. It doesn’t matter how happy the amount of money may seem to make you for a certain period of time. It matters more on how long you will be happy in the long term of your entire life. Besides, if you are happy with your job, every day you will feel healthier, have justice in your life and, if you are Christian, you will probably have a great reli-gious life.

Now you have just hit all of the objectives in the top three jobs, just by being happy with the job you choose.

BY ALEXANDRA DONALDSONColumnist

Money doesn’t equal happiness

Barack Obama became the first American president to formally endorse a plan to re-turn Israel to its 1967 borders, before the Middle East War. Based on an opinion poll the Wall Street Journal, about 68 percent of Americans disagree with the president’s plan.

The biggest question that looms around Obama’s plan is, “What gives him the right to suggest that a sovereign nation restrict the size of its borders?”

Obama sees the plan as a starting point for negotiations with the country’s Middle East neighbors - the Palestinians.

The Israeli prime minis-ter Benjamin Netanyahu was clearly upset over Obama’s plan. Netanyahu angrily called Secretary of State Hil-lary Rodham Clinton and de-manded that Obama remove his references to the pre-1967 border cuts.

Following his calls to the White House administration, Netanyahu delivered a historic speech to a special joint meet-ing of Congress.

It is strange that Obama would suggest that Israel - a country surrounded by en-emies - change borders it has

maintained for 44 years. Former Massachusetts Gov.

Mitt Romney said Obama “threw Israel under the bus” and handed the Palestinians a victory even before nego-tiations between the parties could resume.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called Obama’s plan “the most dangerous speech ever made by an American president for the survival of Israel.”

Obama has not only set himself up for great chal-lenges from 2012 Republican Party contenders, but he has also weakened America’s rela-tionship with the Israelis.

Netanyah said in his speech, “In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shift-ing alliances, Israel is Ameri-ca’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Is-rael will always be pro-Amer-ican.”

Netanyahu made it clear that he and the Israelis were pulling for America. The over-whelmingly pro-democracy speech made Obama’s state-ments seem irrelevant and unsupportive to Israel.

Netanyahu is right that Is-

rael needs to maintain its cur-rent borders. Netanyahu told Fox News about his conversa-tion with the Obama admin-istration, “I think it was im-portant. Because it reassures Israel that we’ll have a defen-sible peace, a realistic peace.”

Israel has a precarious posi-tion in the Middle East - there are countries and world lead-ers that believe Israel should not be a state.

Netanyahu said in his speech, “Time and again the Israeli army was forced to repel at-tacks of much larger enemies determined to destroy us. Rec-ognizing that we could not be defeated in battle, Egypt and Jordan, embraced the path of peace. Yet there are those who continue the assault against the Jewish state and who openly call for our destruc-tion. They seek to achieve this goal through terrorism, mis-sile attacks and most recently by seeking to develop atomic weapons. The ingathering of the Jewish people to Israel has not deterred these fanatics. In fact, it has only whetted their appetite. Iran’s rulers say Israel is a “one bomb country.” The head of Hezbollah says, “If all the Jews gather in Israel, it

will save us the trouble of go-ing after them worldwide.”

Israel has had to defend it-self against lies and threats from other nations. Natan-yahu continued, “Throughout history, the slanders against the Jewish people always pre-ceded the physical assaults against them and were used to justify them. The Jews were called the well-poisoners of mankind, the fomenters of instability, the source of all evil under the sun. Like the physical assaults, these libel-ous attacks against the Jewish people did not end with the creation of Israel. For a time after World War II, overt anti-Semitism was held in check by the shame and shock of the Holocaust. But only for a time.”

Obama’s sudden support of the Palestinian two-state solution is out of place. It has only been in recent years that the World Bank has suggested that Palestine is stable enough to do anything. It is surprising that he would want to appease the Palestinians so quickly.

America’s only stable Middle East ally is and will continue to be, for some time, the state of Israel.

Obama’s haphazard Israeli plan

Recently, it occurred to me that I have never truly had a produc-tive summer. Summer for a col-lege student is the only reason we keep pushing on during the fall and spring semesters — summer is the proverbial “end of the tunnel.”

Summer is full of relaxing vaca-tions, leisurely family time and even grueling employment. For most of us, even in the midst of the afore-mentioned activities, summer is about doing nothing and resting up for the dreaded fall semester.

Service has always been some-thing that I have struggled with. As famed artist R. Kelly so distinc-tively declares, “My mind is telling me noooo, but my bodyyyy is tell-ing me yessss.” Thankfully, I work in the exact opposite of R. Kelly. My mind seems to be in the right place — I tell myself that it would be good to get off my backside and

do something productive. However, my body seems to be in

hibernation mode during the sum-mer. In fact, I write this column as I lay in pajamas at noon on a summer afternoon.

How do we come up with a solu-tion to our problems?

The fi rst step is to research. You do not even have to get out of bed to do that. Find out what you can do to better the world around you. Take your interests and try your best to fi nd a situation in which you can portray your knowledge and hard work in. If you cannot think of anything, get in your car and drive a couple hours southeast to Smithville or Tuscaloosa. Just seeing the damage will inspire you to do something — I guarantee it. Drive a couple hours west to Mem-phis, Greenville or Vicksburg and witness the fl ooding and complete

devastation that families have been going through for months now. Drive north to Jasper and Okla-homa City to witness much of the same destruction that was left in Smithville and Tuscaloosa.

There is a lot less time and energy with consuming projects going on in places even closer to home. Unit-ed Way, Leap Frog and Habitat for Humanity are excellent ways to get involved in Oxford. There are many more exciting and unique opportu-nities in the Oxford and Memphis areas that anyone willing can get in-volved in.

Being in the South right now pres-ents a unique opportunity to get in-volved. Getting involved is not al-ways enough, though. We need to stay involved as well.

Last semester, the UM Big Event took place. This is an extraordi-narily organized and life-changing

event, but there is a huge fl aw — it occurs one weekend out of every year. Students that participate in this event get only a taste of what service actually is, and that is a ter-rifying idea.

We need more organized events like the UM Big Event over the span of the entire year, not just one weekend. That would not only ful-fi ll the mission of making a differ-ence in the world, but would allow more opportunities for students to get involved and stay involved.

Get out of bed, get out from be-hind the television and get out of the pool. It’s time to make a differ-ence in the world that we live in. Give back to those that are less for-tunate than you. Go out and make a difference this summer, and you will feel better at the start of fall se-mester than you would if you con-tinued to do nothing.

Summer can be more than lounging

OPINION

When I found out I was going to take over as editor-in-chief of The Daily Mississippian for the sum-mer, I asked myself if the stress and the work were worth the ef-fort.

After contemplating it for about three seconds, the thought never crossed my mind again.

With only two short summer months to leave my mark on this publication, I’ve had to prioritize my plans and stick to the crucial elements. I can’t do everything I’ve dreamed up, but I will use my love for words and passion for journal-ism to serve you, the Ole Miss and Oxford community, to the best of my ability.

While I would love to have the typical 12-month tenure that is usually served in this office, I am honored to have the time that I do, despite how brief. After four years as a columnist and reporter (plus one as your beloved opinion edi-tor), it’s still a shock to be entrust-ed with so much.

An editor’s job is not to be a whip-thrashing warlord, slapping troops into line, but to best dis-

play the talent already there while helping people learn from their mistakes. Without a strong staff to back that editor, the publication collapses. Luckily, I’m surrounded by raw talent and the natural ability to simply tell the story, so my job won’t be so hard.

Two years ago, editor-in-chief Alex McDaniel turned our publi-cation upside down, revamping it and bringing us up to speed with the rest of the journalistic world.

During my tenure, I do not have any grandiose plans to rework the publication or strip it to the bones. My goal as editor-in-chief is to work cohesively with my edito-rial staff to produce a newspaper catered to Oxonians and Rebels alike.

As my goal is to some day move to New York and slave away as a theater critic, I hope to bring more focus to the artistic and cultural worlds of Oxford and Ole Miss during my brief time.

Our local world revolves around arts and culture, and it’s time that be more represented and appreci-ated as a different (but equally as

important) aspect of daily news. If I had the choice between read-ing about a bank merger or a new production, there is no contest as to which story gets my undivided attention.

This June, The DM will celebrate its centennial anniversary, and I am proud to be a part of such an im-portant event. With the newspaper industry crumbling in front of our eyes, it’s a feat that a free daily pub-lication can still stay afloat. The fact that it’s a student-run publica-tion amazes me even more.

One thing the public tends to for-get is that staff of The Daily Mis-sissippian and the Student Media Center are exactly that: students. We go to class, study for exams and panic over projects just like our peers. We work here because journalism is our passion, and we want to inform our audience of not just what they need to know, but also what they want to know.

Unlike most, I can honestly say that I love my job, and there is no other career path I can see my-self following. The rush of work-ing against a deadline and the joy

of seeing your name in black and white are the same from bottom of the totem pole to editor-in-chief.

Above all else, our main priority is to work together as a community, and we need to build that give-and-take relationship. What we want most is to hear from our audience. Disagree with our opinions? Have another side to a story? Write us a letter. E-mail us. Call us.

We’re here for you, not just to feed our own egos. Without hear-ing from our audience, we will never know if we’re succeeding in our goal.

At the end of my two months, Cain Madden will take charge, and I will slide back down the totem pole, joining those who I conduct-ed once again. Most would consid-er my desire to become a “lowly re-porter” after holding all the power, none of those people understand the true love I have for my work.

As I sit here feverishly trying to beat deadline, I remember that re-gardless the title or the paycheck, every puzzle piece has a place it fits, and it seems mine is right here...for six more months, at least.

their giant houses and so some of the smaller ones get overlooked,” Ward said. “The NPHC is re-ally strong, though, even if they might not have a lot of people.”

Ward said he thinks the biggest challenge the NPHC organiza-tions face is figuring out how to stay relevant over the next 10 to 20 years.

“To stay relevant, organiza-tions need to think about what they are providing for their mem-bership so that they can compete

with other students graduating all over the country and know the world as well,” Ward said. “This is a challenge for the NPHC or-ganizations and the Greek com-munity as a whole.”

Udemgba said that despite be-ing underappreciated, commu-nity service will remain a big part of the NPHC’s future.

“Most of our organizations were founded to serve and com-munity service is a huge part of what we do,” Udemgba said. “Our motto is ‘service to all mankind’ and that’s what we go by.”

Current conflicts in the Mid-dle East and Japan make travel-ing abroad this summer poten-tially dangerous.

The Study Abroad Office pro-vides students with a variety of programs of study to choose from. The faculty is ready to ease the decision to go abroad by helping students and parents with any questions or concerns.

Stuart Hurt, a student assis-tant with the Office of Study Abroad, said that interest and enrollment in summer travel has not decreased.

“Interest has remained steady,” he said. “Many people have had questions, justifi-ably, but we don’t send anyone to any country where we don’t have confidence in our students’ safety and the capability of the exchange or affiliate university or program provider.”

According to the university, 93 students are currently study-ing in 17 different countries as part of the spring semester Study Abroad programs. The deadline for summer programs was April 6.

Allie Wells studied abroad in England last spring. While in Europe, she visited many places in Spain, France and Italy. Wells studied at the University of Bir-mingham, one of the exchange programs available through the Study Abroad Office.

“Ole Miss was very helpful in preparing me and other stu-dents for any potential crisis,” she said. “They gave us differ-ent scenarios of unfortunate incidents that could occur and how to deal with them. They also gave safety tips prior to the semester abroad.”

The Study Abroad Office heeds no warnings toward sum-mer travel abroad.

“We can never eliminate risk, but we never send students to any area we have concerns about or that we consider dangerous or unsafe,” Hurt said. “We judge our partner programs to offer a level of safety comparable to what we can expect in the Unit-ed States.”

Contrary to Hurt’s statement on safety, the Department of State advises American’s to take extreme caution. In a statement on the Department of State’s website, the level of safety over-seas is not comparable to that of the U.S.

According to the Depart-ment’s website, they “remain concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, dem-onstrations and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas. Current in-formation suggests that Al-Qai-da and affiliated organization continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.”

The Department of State has also released current travel alerts to Syria, United Kingdom and Uganda. They have released current travel warnings to Syria, Bahrain, Japan, Algeria, Afghan-istan, Yemen, Libya, Pakistan and Haiti.

Travel alerts are issued as short-term risks to the security of U.S. citizens and travel warn-ings are issued for long-term dangerous and unstable condi-tions.

Ole Miss Study Abroad is currently offering programs of study in countries under alert and warning by the Depart-ment of State. Destinations for 2010-2011 programs include several countries in Europe and the United Kingdom, Japan, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

“We follow the recommenda-tions and any travel advisories issued by the U.S. government, but it’s mainly common sense,” Hurt said. “If we wouldn’t want to go or send our children somewhere for safety concerns, we wouldn’t put other people or their children in a position of risk.”

The risks are undeniable. The decision to study abroad is ulti-mately at the discretion of stu-dents and their parents but these risks should be considered. Be-fore traveling, researching travel warnings and alerts is beneficial to students in preparation for potential dangers.

Possible dangers for summer study abroad studentsBY ANDREA CLARETThe Daily Mississippian

A dream long realized will have come true in the not very distant future when seven fraternities begin occupying their new homes. Two houses, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta, were ready at the start of the current year.

Fraternity houses now being fur-nished on fraternity row are: Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Al-pha, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Delta Tau Delta and Delta Kappa Epsi-lon.

KAPPA ALPHA

Kappa Alpha is at present adding finishing touches to its new lodge, being constructed as a unit of the PWA fraternity house construction project on the Ole Miss campus. The house is colonial in style. It is built of brick which is to be painted, and the wood work on the outside windows and doors are of walnut color. The front entrance is to open on a tile terrace when construc-tion work is complete and present plans call for the addition of a front porch later.

Newly elected officers are: num-ber one, Rodney Gates; number

two, Phineas Stevens; number three, David McLean.

SIGMA CHI

The Sigma Chi house is the last house on fraternity row, situated on lot nine. A unit of the campus PWA construction project, it is of face brick, patterned after the style of a twentieth century, two-story bungalow. The home rests impos-ingly on a high terrace higher than the houses near it, and the white woodwork adds to its attractive-ness. Several of the members of Sigma Chi are planning to inhabit it next year.

Eta chapter officers: James Bie-denharn, counsel; Harry Wilson, pro-counsel; Toxey Smith, annota-tor; Rober Perry quaestor.

PHI DELTA THETA

Phi Delta Theta was the second fraternity on the campus to con-struct a lodge. The building follows the style of a modern bungalow; its exterior is covered with face brick and stained boards, and it sets well back on lot seven of fraternity row.

The house has been occupied all of this year.

Officers of Mississippia Alpha chapter are: Charles Fair, presi-dent; Brent Forman, reporter; Wil-liam McGehee, secretary; William Mounger, treasurer; William John-son, historian.

ALPHA TAU OMEGA

Delta Psi chapter of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity will begin con-struction on its large colonial style house next fall. Francis Bowling was elected worthy master a few weeks ago.

Mack Blackwood, head of the local chapter of Sigma Phi Epsi-lon, states the chapter is planning to construct a house in the near future. The style has not yet been decided upon.

The local chapter of Phi Pi Phi fraternity has elected Joe Sadka chapter head. Although the chapter intends to build a house, the style of the house has not been deter-mined.

The Ole Miss chapter of Phi Epsilon Phi has not yet made defi-nite plans regarding a house. Fred

Brownstein heads the chapter.The new colonial style brick

house of the local chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha will soon be officially opened. Gene Neal is the chapter head.

The local chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity will soon occupy a new old English style house. Joe Duckworth is the present head of the Ole Miss chapter.

SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON

Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the first fraternity to build a house on the Ole Miss campus when the uni-versity authorities gave to fraterni-ties the privilege of constructing lodges. The house was constructed during the spring and summer of 1935, and has been occupied for the last two school sessions. The house is of white brick, colonial style, situated on the fourth lot on Lamar Road.

The officers of SAE are as fol-lows: Dick Keye, E.A.; Waddell Mashburn, E.D.A.; Chas Lawrence, E. R.; Phillip Lawrence E.T.; Walter Bridgeforth, E.C.; Sam Olden Jr., E. Chr.

DELTA PSI

Delta Psi was in the fortunate position of already having a house when permission was granted to the fraternities to own them. The building is a three story, red brick structure at the north end of the campus and up to recently was used as a professor’s residence. The house has been renovated by the Delta Psi chapter, and porches have been added on the outside.

The officers of Delta Psi are se-cret.

DELTA KAPPA EPSILON

The Delta Kappa Epsilon house now nearing completion is one of the fraternity houses built as a part of the university PWA program. Georgian style, it is of brick which will be painted, and its woodwork is white. French doors open to the outside on two sides of the building and plans are being made for laying of a tile terrace on these two sides. The house is to have extensive lawn terracing in the front, and the mem-bers of the fraternity are arranging the interior of the home.

Ole Miss and Arizona State bat-tled for nearly five hours May 14 at the Bill Moore Tennis Center on the campus of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, but the Rebels came up short in a 4-3 heartbreaker

in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Championships. With the loss, the Rebels finish the season 11-11.

The match came down to No. 2 singles between All-SEC senior Connor Vogel and Arizona State freshman Jacqueline Cako, who is ranked No. 12 in the nation. Vo-gel claimed the first set 6-3, but Cako would take the second set 6-3. Cako gained an early break in the third but Vogel was able to break back and pull even at 5-5.

After scoreboard watching and receiving the necessary help to advance to the SEC Tournament and likely the NCAA Tournament with a win at No. 18 Arkansas, the Ole Miss baseball team (30-25, 13-17 SEC) lost both games of a May 21 seven-inning doublehead-er, 2-0 and 5-3, respectively.

In the series opener May 19 against Arkansas, junior left-hand-er Matt Crouse and junior right-hander Jake Morgan pitched Ole Miss to a 2-1 win. Crouse (7-4) picked up the win – his fi rst since March 25 – as he gave up one run on fi ve hits with four strikeouts and two walks in six and one-third innings. Morgan went the fi nal two and two-third innings and held Arkansas scoreless with one hit, a walk and four strikeouts.

Arkansas got on the board fi rst with a solo home run in the sixth before Ole Miss answered in the seventh with two runs on three hits to take a 2-1 lead.

Sophomore third baseman Alex Yarbrough and senior outfi elder Matt Smith started the rally with back-to-back singles before junior designated hitter Matt Snyder tied the game with a RBI single to score Yarbrough. Senior outfi elder Matt Tracy followed with a sacrifi ce fl y to score Smith and give Ole Miss the lead.

Arkansas threatened in the bot-tom of the inning with runners at

the corners and one out, before Bianco turned to Morgan out of the bullpen. After walking the fi rst batter faced, Morgan got a double play to end the inning.

Sophomore outfi elder Tanner Mathis led off the fi rst game of the May 21 doubleheader with a double and advanced to third on a sacrifi ce bunt by Yarbrough, but junior designated hitter Matt Snyder ended the threat with an inning-ending double play.

Arkansas struck fi rst, scoring on a sacrifi ce fl y in the bottom of the inning, and added to the lead with a solo home run off junior right-hander David Goforth (4-8) in the sixth.

After Yarbrough and Snyder singled to put two runners on with one out in the seventh, Tra-cy followed with another single, but Yarbrough was thrown out at home trying to score from second and freshman fi rst baseman Will Allen grounded out to end the game.

The Diamond Rebels loaded the bases with one out in the fi rst of the second game, before Tracy delivered a RBI single. Ole Miss scored another run on a squeeze bunt by senior catcher Miles Hamblin, but stranded the bases loaded with back-to-back pop-outs. Snyder extended the lead to 3-0 with a solo home run in the third, but Arkansas answered with a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning. Ole Miss loaded the bases again in the fi fth, but fresh-

man shortstop Austin Anderson struck out to end the inning.

Freshman right-hander Bobby Wahl (0-2), who entered the game in the fourth and stranded the bases loaded in the fi fth, allowed a walk and hit by pitch in the sixth before Ole Miss coach Mike Bi-anco turned to sophomore right-hander Brett Huber out of the

bullpen.A balk call moved both run-

ners into scoring position and a squeeze bunt tied the game at 3-3. Arkansas took a 4-3 lead on a RBI single and a throwing error by Smith moved both trailing run-ners into scoring position. A sacri-fi ce fl y would then extend the lead to 5-3.

Snyder and Tracy walked to start the seventh and a sacrifi ce bunt by Hamblin moved both runners into scoring position. Senior Jordan King, pinch-running for Snyder, was tagged out at home on a wild pitch and Anderson grounded out for the last out of the season.

Ole Miss baseball swept out of SEC tournamentBY AUSTIN MILLERSports Editor

STANFORD, Calif. - Ole Miss men’s tennis player Mar-cel Thiemann ended his NCAA run in the quarterfi nals May 28 at Taube Tennis Center with a 6-3, 6-4 loss to Tennessee’s Tennys Sandgren. With the loss, Thiemann concludes the year at 17-13, while Sandgren advances to the semifi nals to face his teammate, Rhyne Wil-liams.

Thiemann had several break points in the fi rst game of the fi rst set, but Sandgren held and then broke to go up 2-0. Thi-emann broke back but at 4-3, Sandgren was able to break again and hold serve for the fi rst set.

In the second set, the two traded breaks to start and were all even at 3-3. Sandgren broke again at 4-3 and held for 5-3.

Thiemann held for 4-5 and had triple break point as Sandgren served for the match. Sandgren answered every one of them and gained the advantage fol-lowed by an ace on match point.

“Marcel didn’t serve as well as the previous matches,” Chadwick said. “We knew there wouldn’t be any margin for er-ror playing as good a player as

Tennys. Still, it was a great run, and we are proud of him. It puts it in perspective how tough a team Tennessee was this year. We are already looking forward to next year with Marcel lead-ing the way.”

This marked Thiemann’s second straight year to be in the quarterfi nals in his second NCAA Singles appearance. In the fi rst round, he beat a fa-

miliar opponent in UC Irvine’s Chris Kearny in straight sets. In the second round, Thiemann faced four match points against another very familiar opponent in sixth-ranked Eric Quigley of Kentucky, before winning in a third-set tiebreaker to earn All-America honors again. In the third round, Thiemann defeat-ed Southern Cal freshman Ray Sarmiento in straight sets.
