THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI | SERVING OLE MISS AND OXFORD SINCE 1911 THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN MONDAY, MARCH 17, 2014 VOL. 102, NO. 103 New construction phase prompts parking changes The second phase of campus construction for a new parking garage and basketball stadium began Saturday, March 8. The second phase of construction will mean several changes to parking around and near the construction of both campus facilities. The five-story parking ga- rage is expected to add 825 parking spots and be complet- ed by fall 2014. The basket- ball stadium is expected to be completed in early 2016 and will include a food court and academic areas. The first phase of the con- struction that began in De- cember closed 163 parking spots around the construction site. A total of 443 commuter and 112 faculty-staff parking spots are expected to be eliminated during the second phase of construction. When construc- tion is completed, there will be almost 400 more parking spaces on campus than before, according to parking services. While the work on both of these amenities could be af- fected and delayed by weather, the phase two parking changes could be in effect until early 2016.

Who can give Hillary Clinton a run for her money in 2016? Rand Paul, according to progressive HBO talk show host Bill Maher. While I’m hesitant to cite celebrity personalities, particularly Maher, the relevant foreign policy stance debated on “Real Time With Bill Maher” was quite significant. Es-pecially given that those of the “youth” vote are now consistently rejecting traditional news sources and instead receiving current event stories from comedic personalities like Jon Stewart and Stephen Col-bert.

Maher stated that while other conservatives at CPAC were call-ing for action, Paul is “the one guy who says quite the opposite, like his father, he is for not for having an

American empire. That’s the thing I love about the Pauls.”

Indeed, that’s a refreshing change from the consistent war hawks in both parties — Clinton, McCain and any other politicians pinning for the military establish-ment.

In fact, Maher’s guest, Andrew Sullivan agreed.

“I think Rand Paul’s attempt to say what most people in this coun-try really understand, which is we don’t need to run the world,” Sul-livan said. “We don’t want to run the world. America would be in a better place if we were less inter-ested in our own power and more interested in freedom.”

Interesting. More please.This is attractive to us as young

people. We’ve seen terrible out-comes of pointless wars and poor strategies. We also see the effects of giving billions of dollars to coun-tries that will ultimately not care too much for us no matter what we do — trillions of dollars in sev-eral war-torn countries and then no control over their affairs? Been

there, done that.It’s just foolish to think money

solves their problems. It’s not com-mon sense — and fortunately Rand Paul understands that, while everyone else doesn’t.

Regarding the recent Ukraine and Crimea setbacks, the younger Paul called for a strong stance, but involvement, particularly pledging money that equates to taking poor people’s money in this country only to have it passed to wealthy people in Russia, is the wrong course of action. How refreshing.

Imagine that type of leadership in the White House in a time that the L-word is sorely lacking. Con-sistent leadership that holds Amer-ica’s interest at heart but a practical sense for dealing with problems abroad — i.e., refusing to take “ac-tion” that will ultimately serve our interest in almost no way.

Putin is a bully, using tactics that resemble an overplayed hand via a tiny card-table game in the garage of his best friend’s house. There are more pressing issue of inter-national diplomacy than dealing

with his pointless yearning to be considered “serious,” as if his shirt-less body on horse pictures doesn’t already accomplish that goal.

With these foreign policy stances on Russia and other countries, and not to mention other common-sense views on domestic concerns that touch both conservatives and progressives alike, Rand Paul may actually excite the young GOP. Or the even more coveted young independents or the former young Obama enthusiasts.

That’s enough to give anyone a run in ‘16, including the Clintonian clan. Let’s just hope that the far conservative wings in the primaries don’t alienate common sense in fa-vor of more empire-building. Let’s hope that Paul can convince peo-ple that his ideas are worth believ-ing in and that his ideas can make a difference on both sides of the aisle in Congress. And, importantly, that his leadership style is exactly what America needs right now.

Letter to the EditorDear editor and University

administration,

The University of Missis-sippi Alumni Association es-tablished the Black Alumni Advisory Council in 1988 as a vehicle by which the Uni-versity’s Black alumni would have a direct link to the As-sociation’s governing board. This council exists and func-tions to assist the Alumni As-sociation in terms of diversity and engagement of African-American alumni, who in years past and present, may not feel part of the “Ole Miss Family.” To this end, we are concerned with the response to the recent desecration of

the university Civil Rights Monument, the James Mer-edith statue.

While we take exceptional note of the swift response to, and denouncement of, these acts of racial intolerance and intimidation (including the $25,000 reward put up by the Alumni Association), there has been a deafening silence of inaction from the univer-sity since an open letter was sent from the chancellor. The latest act of micro-aggression is but one occurrence in the last 18 months since Election Night 2012 on our campus that we cannot deem as mere “incidents,” but habits of an underlying culture of untold

racial hostility and tension.We recognize there are pri-

vacy issues with regard to the identification of suspects and sanctions, including expulsion for such reprehensible acts. However, the same strong stance Ole Miss made public-ly after the desecration of the statue should be displayed by informing the public that this act may not rise to the level of expectation for sanctions, but may provide another teach-able moment for the suspects involved and our university at large.

According to the Univer-sity Conduct Process, DSA.SC.300.010, a victim has the right to know the outcome of

a judicial procedure. It is our hope that the lines of commu-nication stay open during this process without damaging the integrity of the investigation.

Moreover, Ole Miss’ Black students and Black alumni de-serve to know what action or the university intends to take or policies it intends to imple-ment if none are in place to discourage future acts of this nature. This latest act of in-timidation is hurtful, and painful. Yet in the face of embarrassment, we are not ashamed. We love our institu-tion, but we often wonder if our institution loves us in re-turn?

The term “Ole Miss”

means something different across generations of alumni, especially Black alumni. Col-lectively, we will continue to represent and defend our in-stitution vigorously. In turn, we expect our beloved institu-tion to protect the current stu-dent population from living in fear. Mr. Meredith coura-geously walked to class in the face of bigotry and racism so that in 2014, students of color would not have to endure the same campus climate.

Signed,

Black Alumni Advisory Council

Dear Editor,

For a two-time alumnus of The University of Missis-sippi, it was disheartening to learn of the recent events of racial intolerance. My guess is that the three young men who participated in the statue inci-dent had no idea of the furor that would ensue. It probably seemed like a clever idea in someone’s room one night.

As freshmen they are still adolescents. Any introduc-tory psychology textbook confirms that the adolescent brain is still being formed and that it is prone to impulsiv-ity and poor reasoning. One can only surmise their inten-

tions in placing a noose and a Confederate emblem on the statue. Was it a racist act? Sure. Was it provocative? Of course. Was it the byproduct of an impulsive adolescent brain? Undoubtedly.

I have no idea what will happen with those three freshmen. My bet is they will withdraw from the university or be expelled. But there is a different course, albeit a dif-ficult one. Why not offer to let them stay, with conditions? Expelling them does nothing

to prevent the next similar act from occurring. Why not set up means of letting them know why their act was so de-plorable, introduce them to people hurt by their actions and give them a chance to re-deem themselves? I have no clear sense of how this process would occur, but there are bright people at the university who can create a program to accomplish these goals.

It is heartening to think that they could leave Oxford more tolerant and compassion-

ate men than they are now. Naturally this will take a lot of work, not the least from those three, who are pariahs to many. They would need to grow a thick skin immediately. But if they just return to their home state they will undoubt-edly carry bitter memories and conclude that they were

railroaded by the forces of political correctness. Their bigotry is likely to grow, not wane. If so, no constructive lesson has been learned and we can await the next embar-rassing episode.

Oxford’s Got Talent to be held April 1BY AUDREY HALL

[email protected]

Auditions were held March 4 for the 5th annual Oxford’s Got Talent. The Yoknapataw-pha Arts Council is hosting the show in the Powerhouse Com-munity Art Center on April 1.

“Oxford’s Got Talent is an annual community talent show presented by the Oxford Park Commission, Yoknapatawpha Arts Council and Panhellenic Council,” said Wayne Andrews, director of the arts council. “Oxford is unique; we are one of the few communities in Mis-sissippi to have a community space dedicated to the arts. As our goal is to engage the pub-lic, the three organizations who present the event felt it was a great opportunity to show that music, dance, juggling or any

talent is a mix of being creative, recreation and the community.”

The contest itself has several categories. Individual perform-ers and groups can receive awards for dancing, singing and other areas of expertise. Prizes include gift certificates from local businesses and trophies from the arts council and the park commission.

The performers aren’t the only ones who benefit from this chance to break into the performing community, how-ever. The Panhellenic Council donates its funds to Leap Frog, and the arts council donates its benefits to the free art pro-grams.

“I was nervous the first year that my beloved Oxford wouldn’t have much to offer, but that couldn’t be further

from the truth,” said Bruce Butler, Oxford’s Got Talent judge and director of the Ox-ford-based comedy improvisa-tion group Laff Co. “So many incredible people and groups have performed over the years. It is a great opportunity for the community to come together and foster burgeoning talent.”

Not only is the talent coming from the local community, but so are the judges. Everyone in-volved has an appreciation for the artistic depth in Oxford.

“My favorite memories usu-ally involve seeing someone who is new to doing anything like that getting up on stage and really coming into their own as a performer,” Butler said. “I know it can be exhilarating as an artist myself, but seeing that take hold of someone else is truly inspiring.”

Butler and Alice Walker, a member of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council’s board of direc-tors, have both served as judges for Oxford’s Got Talent before

and will be judging again this year.

“I have really enjoyed judg-ing for Oxford’s Got Talent,” Walker said. “We have so many wonderful performers in our community, so it’s only natu-ral to hold a competition like this. There are always new acts showcased every year as well as some return acts. It has been a joy to watch certain young per-formers grow up before our eyes year after year, and it’s always a thrill to see the new talent.”

called, more than one per minute. There were more fouls than combined made field goals, 45. And there were nearly two free throws per minute, as Georgia and Ole Miss combined to shoot 73 free throws.

“It’s just so hard to call the game now with the new rules,” Georgia head coach Mark Fox said. “The officials have an impossible job. It’s just the new rules are so hard to inter-pret. So I don’t think they lost control. It’s a tougher game to call right now with the way the new rules are worded.”

The new rules to which Fox referred have officials focus on hand-checking and post defense. Essentially, defenders can’t place their hands on an opponent.

“Some people think it’s good for the game,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “I don’t really understand it.”

Regardless of the fouls, Ole Miss had the opportunity to win the game in the closing seconds. Summers hit a mid-range jumper to give Ole Miss a 1-point lead with 48 seconds remaining. But on the follow-ing possession, Georgia got two offensive rebounds, and Charles Mann drove to the goal and retook the lead for Georgia with a layup.

“We couldn’t secure a re-bound,” Kennedy said. “They got three opportunities. Their point guard chased down the ball and put them in the lead.”

But Ole Miss got two chanc-es to win the game after that Mann layup. Henderson had an open look from five feet beyond the 3-point line, but he missed. Then Summers released a shot as the clock expired that also missed, and Ole Miss fell 75-73.

“For those of you who fol-lowed us all year, we have been real close a number of times, and ultimately it comes down to a play here and a play there,” Kennedy said. “Geor-

gia made it tonight.”Henderson struggled shoot-

ing, as he was 5-of-21 from the field and 2-of-16 from three; he finished with 19 points. Summers was 10-of-16 from

the field, as he thrived with his mid-range jumper. He had 26 points, but he was 0-of-4 on 3s.

The fouls haunted both teams, as freshman center Dwight Coleby and freshman forward Sebastian Saiz fouled out for Ole Miss. Summers, junior forward Aaron Jones and sophomore forward An-thony Perez finished with four fouls.

Four of Georgia’s starters picked up two fouls in the first half, so Fox had to use his bench for the majority of the first half. No Bulldogs fouled out, but three finished with four fouls. Fox picked up a technical foul for complaining about a foul call.

GamecocksA pair of late rallies proved

to be too much to overcome for the first time this season as No. 12 Ole Miss (17-4, 1-2 SEC) dropped both games of a doubleheader to No. 1 South Carolina, including a 5-4 loss in 10-innings in game one and a 3-1 loss in game two.

The weekend series closed out a five-game road swing for the Rebels and now Ole Miss will return home for a five game stretch that in-cludes a Wednesday night game against Arkansas State and a series against Missouri over the weekend.

“We’ve been in a lot of close games, and they’ve all gone our way until today, and it just didn’t happen that way this time,” said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. “You have to tip your hat to South Carolina. That’s base-ball, and they showed why they’re a good team today.”

Many people believe that racism is an occasional event. Recent events on and off campus demonstrate that this is not the case. Every-day, campus individuals either experience or witness acts of racial violence in speech and behavior. Often we look to others to fix the situation or turn the other cheek. This one hour workshop engages individuals to become active par-ticipants in anti-oppression and teaches participants in techniques designed to interrupt or eliminate micro or macro aggressions.

Ole Miss went to Atlanta needing to repeat as South-eastern Conference Tourna-ment Champions in order to return to the NCAA tourna-ment.

In their first game, the Reb-els got a third matchup with Mississippi State this season. The Bulldogs beat Vanderbilt on Wednesday to advance to play Ole Miss.

Mississippi State jumped all over Ole Miss, as the Bulldogs took a 10-0 lead to start the game. Mississippi State shot 58 percent from the field and led by nine at halftime. Ole Miss took its first lead at the 8:11 mark of the second half.

“They were in control for

30 of the 40 minutes,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “Tale of two halves. Thank goodness the game is still 40 minutes.”

Ole Miss outscored Missis-sippi State 30-12 over the last 13 minutes, and the Rebels eliminated the Bulldogs with a 78-66 win.

Senior guard Marshall Henderson set an SEC record by shooting 19 3-pointers. He shot 37 percent from behind the arc, a better percentage than his season average of 35 percent, as he made seven of the attempts. Henderson scored 21 points.

Fred Thomas covered Hen-derson all game, but in the second half Henderson be-gan to get more open looks. He credited these opportuni-

ties to possible fatigue from Thomas.

“One thing, I got on them, and I just never stop run-ning,” Henderson said.

“Or shooting,” Kennedy added.

Junior guard Jarvis Sum-mers also scored 21 points. He was 7-of-17 from the field and added six assists.

Ole Miss’ defense helped turn the game, as the Rebels played more 1-3-1 and 2-2-1 pressure defense in the second half. The result created 17 Bulldog turnovers and a win in the SEC tournament.

Ole Miss played three-seed Georgia on Friday night, but the officials stole the show.

There were 51 total fouls

Ole Miss picks up win, drops series to South CarolinaOLE MISS SPORTS INFORMATION DEPARTMENT

FRIDAY – NO. 12 OLE MISS 6, NO. 1 SOUTH CAROLINA 4

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Auston Bousfield hit his first grand slam with a two-out shot in the sixth inning to propel the Rebels into the lead as No. 12 Ole Miss (17-2, 1-0 SEC) de-feated No. 1 South Carolina (16-1, 0-1 SEC) in the open-ing game of the weekend se-ries Friday night.

Chris Ellis (3-0) picked up the win, working 5.1 innings and allowing four runs – three of them earned – on 10 hits with three walks and a strike-out. Josh Laxer picked up his first save of the season, work-ing the final two outs to close the game out for the Rebels.

Jordan Montgomery (3-1) took the loss for the Game-cocks, allowing six runs on six hits with three walks and five strikeouts.

“Friday night in the SEC is always so close,” said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. “It’s about which guy can get the big hit or which guy can make that one pitch. (Auston) Bousfield got that hit for us to-night.

“Chris (Ellis) really weath-ered the storm for us,” Bianco said. “We made it hard on him defensively. He really hung in there and took some body blows like a prize fighter. The bullpen then took over and was terrific tonight. (Aaron) Greenwood was solid when he came in and then Wyatt (Short) faced the heart of their lineup. Laxer was just great closing things out for us.”

Ole Miss got on the board in the first inning when Will Allen sent a two-out single up the middle to score Auston Bousfield from third. Bous-field opened the game with a single to center before back-to-back groundouts moved him to third for the Allen hit.

South Carolina wasted no time tying things up, using a Max Schrock solo home run with one out in the bottom of the inning to knot the game at 1-1. The Gamecocks would go on to load the bases, but Ellis responded with a big strikeout looking to leave three strand-ed and keep the game tied.

The Gamecocks took the lead in the fourth when Schrock drove in Tanner

English from third. With one out and men at the corners, Schrock sent a ball back up the middle that glanced off the glove of Ellis toward shortstop, allowing all runners to advance safely. The lead continued to grow from there.

A walk then loaded the bas-es before a throwing error on a ground ball to second and a sac fly to center brought two more runs home, taking the lead out to 4-1 in favor of the Gamecocks after four innings of play.

Austin Anderson cut the lead in half with a two-out shot over the right field fence in the fifth. It was the first home run of the season for Anderson.

The Rebels continued to fight back, taking the lead back in the sixth inning on a grand slam from Bousfield. Ole Miss loaded the bases when pinch hitter Colby Bortles drew a walk, keeping the inning alive and bringing Bousfield at the plate for the shot that launched the Rebels back on top 6-4.

Ole Miss’ bullpen then kept the Gamecocks off the board

the rest of the way, securing the series-opening win for the Rebels.
