UM International Justice Mission hosts documentary screening

The Ole Miss International Justice Mission is showing “The Dark Side of Chocolate,” a documentary that exposes the use of child slavery in the chocolate industry.

The documentary is led by a Danish journalist who goes to Africa and investigates child trafficking and child labor at cocoa plantations.

The movie is an hour long and includes a drawing to win fair-trade chocolate prizes.

“I don’t think people real-ize that human trafficking and child slavery are as big of a problem as they are in the world today,” said senior Em-ily Laird.

“And I don’t think they real-ize that human trafficking and child slavery most likely went into the making of the choco-late they are eating.”

Laird started the Interna-tional Justice Mission chapter at Ole Miss after watching an International Justice Mission Speaker at the Wesley Foun-dation, a Methodist campus ministry. Laird plans on doing her senior thesis on the Inter-national Justice Mission and found the movie on a Web site for a similar organization.

Admission to the film is free, but donations to the Interna-tional Justice Mission will be accepted at the screening. The screening takes place tonight at 5:45 p.m. in Bishop Hall 209, the auditorium.

Dear Eliza,OK, here’s the deal: Every

day as I walk to the Union, I pass a girl that I don’t really know.

When we see each other, we always say hi and keep going. I would like to get to know this girl better. What is the best way to do that?

-JohnDear John, I understand it is hard for

a guy to know if a girl really likes him or just wants to be friends. Most girls want the guy to make the first move too so it can be very scary for a guy to put himself out there and then get rejected.

My advice for you is to find out what she likes to do and start with a friendship. That way, if it doesn’t work out for

y’all, she might have a friend that you could meet; always keep your options open.

Also, see if y’all even have anything in common or get along, but don’t be a creeper. Start off simple and ask her to grab lunch or coffee. If you show her you’re interested in her and not just the way she looks then she will start to think about you more.

Don’t be too easy because then she’ll know you like her. Most people like a little chase, because then you see that this person is unattainable and she will suddenly find herself at-tracted to that.

Think about it, would you really want a girl who throws herself at you? Maybe for a good time, but that’s it.

Honestly though, guys are

usually thinking about them-selves and if you show that you are truly interested in what she has to say and you also find a connection then she will become interested in you.

Show that you’re not like every other guy and that you can work on your friendship for a while. She will not only respect you but probably want to hang out with you and get to know you as well. Hope this helps!

-xoxo, Eliza-----Dear Eliza, I’m running low on money

right now, and my parents want me to get a job. I’ve been all around Oxford applying, but no one will hire me. What

should I do? -OliviaDear Olivia, Go to Human Resources.

They are located next to the JC and they can help you find a job on campus. You could tutor, work at the Call-Center, write for the DM, or work at the Ole Miss Bookstore (just to name a few).

Jobs are very hard to find right now, but if you dress ap-propriately for a job interview and have a resume with you, then you will have a leg up. Don’t wear a dress you would wear to the Square (that’s usu-ally inappropriate for a job interview), and be honest and confident.

Good luck with everything! -xoxo, Eliza

There is something horrible happening in America.

Over the course of the last month, four teenage boys committed suicide as a result of anti-gay bullying.

Billy Lucas, Seth Walsh, Asher Brown and Tyler Cle-menti are all dead because of relentless, hateful bullies.

There comes a point when people collectively have to say that anti-gay bullying is wrong and can’t continue to happen any further.

Hopefully I can use it to ap-peal to your sense of human-ity and your sense of right and wrong.

We often brush bullying off as “boys will be boys” or “kids will be kids.”

In attempting to maintain a certain social convention, we often allow people – namely bullies – to run amok.

Billy Lucas was a young, in-nocent boy. He loved his fam-ily and loved his horses.

On September 9, he was pushed to his limit. On that day he had been fighting back with a particular group of his bullies and he was suspended.

Also at school that day he had a chair pulled from under-neath him and was told to go hang himself.

When he got home that day, he called police and told them he was causing trouble for his mom.

The police dispatcher later called his mother, to make sure that everything was OK.

His mother didn’t know of any problem at the house, so she told police not to come.

An hour after Billy called police, his mother found him hanging on the rafters in the barn.

He had spent his last mo-ments with the horses that he loved so much.

Seth Walsh was a 13-year-old boy. His mother, Judy Walsh, said her son was, “a very loving

boy, very kind. He had a beau-tiful smile. He was artistic and very bright.”

On September 19, he was found unconscious and not breathing after he tried to hang himself from a tree in his backyard.

Days later in a hospital, he died as a result of his injuries.

Asher Brown was a 13-year-old boy and a straight-A stu-dent.

In his gym classes, his bullies would perform mock gay acts on him.

He had also been made fun of for being small and for his religious beliefs – his family is Buddhist.

One day at school, a bully tripped Brown as he walked down a flight of stairs.

Brown landed at the middle of the stairs. He got up to re-trieve his backpack; another bully kicked his books every-where and kicked Brown down the remaining flight of stairs.

The next day, he got a 9 mm Beretta and shot himself. Hours later, Brown’s stepfather found the teen’s body in the family home.

Tyler Clementi was a talent-ed young violinist and fresh-man at Rutgers University.

Clementi’s roommate Dhar-un Ravi and another student, Molly Wei, secretly live-streamed over the Internet a sexual encounter between Cle-menti and another man.

Ravi then invited his Twit-ter followers to watch a second sexual encounter.

Clementi was left humiliat-ed and devastated by Ravi and Wei’s actions.

On September 22, Clem-enti jumped from the George Washington Bridge. Police re-covered his body on September

29. It saddens me to see that

these young men were pushed to their limits and felt there was nowhere to turn and no one to turn to.

I don’t care where your so-cial or political ideologies rest, we’ve all got to stand against these senseless acts committed to these young men and others like them.

The most apparent thing in all of these cases is that higher-ups and people that had the option to do something about these young men’s problems chose to do nothing.

Remember these words from British political philosopher Edmund Burke, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (people) to do nothing.”

Each year, the Ole Miss chapter of Sigma Chi fraterni-ty puts on Derby Days, a char-ity event.

At this year’s event, the fra-ternity raised $5,000, which they donated to Love Packs.

Love Packs is a nationwide

organization that helps dis-tribute food to children who may not otherwise get healthy meals.

“In Oxford City Schools, at least half of our children are on free and reduced lunch,” Hel-en Phillips, co-founder of Love Packs said. Mary Leary is the other co-founder of the group.

The money donated by Sig-

ma Chi will go directly to pur-chasing food for the children who receive the Love Packs, according to Alyce Krouse, a Love Packs volunteer.

“The Love Packs board was very touched by the donation and the desire of the Sigma Chis to give to the Oxford community, to help the chil-dren,” Krouse said.

Elliott Warren, Sigma Chi philanthropy chair, said he was interested in Love Packs be-

cause it was a local charity. “I wanted to see the funds

we raise through our annual philanthropy going to a cause right here in the Oxford com-munity,” Warren said.

Sigma Chi is also planning to help Love Packs throughout the year.

Warren said they haven’t been involved in the actual packing of meals yet, but they do have plans to incorporate that into a later service project.

The future project includes helping collect the food that is donated, organize the food into meals, and helping put the meals into individual bags for each child.

Not only is the Love Packs board happy about the dona-tions, but so is Sigma Chi.

“Everyone in the fraternity that I have talked to has been very pleased that we have do-nated money to Love Packs,” Warren said.

RxSync Service is a program for community pharmacies that was developed at the University of Mississippi in 2008. The service works to synchro-

nize the scheduling of refills, monitor patient adherence, and provide consultation and rec-ommendation to patients.Erin Holmes, assistant profes-

sor of pharmacy administra-tion, said the program will not only help pharmacies run more efficiently, but also benefit pa-tients. “What this service offers the

opportunity for pharmacies to do is to synchronize their chronic medications when they

come in for refills; they can come in and pick them up once a month or have them deliv-ered once a month and it helps pharmacists be proactive in any issues there may be with a pa-tient’s prescription,” Holmes said.The program will also help

with the number one problem in treating illness, which is pa-tients’ failure to take medica-tions correctly. RxSync will help pharma-

cists to better monitor and ad-dress issues patients may have through the monthly check-ins with patients.The idea for the service is based

off a pharmacy business model used by PharmNet pharmacy in Winona, Kan., and is distrib-

uted by Cardinal Health.The program is currently

operating in seven locations around the country including: Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia, Pennsylvania and its original location in Kansas.Since the program was devel-

oped two years ago, the Univer-sity has developed a workbook of resources for pharmacies who are interested or in the process of implementing RxSync. “It’s a step-by-step workbook,

helps you think through issues you may have in implementa-tion process, we offer them promotional materials, and we have a program to help them understand what impact this will have on their financial bot-tom line,” Holmes said.

Because of a grant from Car-dinal Health, the University of Mississippi is able to collect data to determine the outcomes for patient satisfaction with the service.The University has enlisted

the help of undergraduate and graduate students to research and analyze this data about the effectiveness of RxSync Ser-vice. “We are very excited to have

our graduate students involved, but most importantly to have our pharmacy students involved because obviously they’re out there working in these phar-macies and they see firsthand what’s going on and how Rx-Sync Service may help.”Laurin Dixon, a second year

professional pharmacy student, worked with RxSync on her rotation in Holly Springs last semester.“It made it so much easier be-

cause you sold everything for a patient in one day so you could see everything you were treat-ing them in one day,” Dixon said. “You don’t have to worry about the same person coming seven times in one month and taking up time when they don’t have it, and you’re counseling once and probably addressing issues better than you would in seven different times.”For more information on Rx-

Sync Service, see their website at www.rxsync.net or the Uni-versity of Mississippi Pharmacy School website.

UM-developed service helps pharmacies nationwide

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi is expected to hire its first medical examiner in 15 years by Nov. 1, and Depart-ment of Public Safety Com-missioner Steve Simpson said he's hopeful at least two other associate pathologists will soon be on board to help handle the state's autopsy cases."We have one doctor who has

an engagement letter to come here Nov. 1. I'm interviewing another doctor this week in Houston (Texas), and a third has expressed an interest in coming here," Simpson said Tuesday.Mississippi's contract with a

Tennessee-based company that had been performing autop-sies for the state ends Friday. Simpson said Global Forensics exercised an option to get out of the contract."We've not had any problems

with the quality of their work at all. The doctors commute from Tennessee to Mississippi. It has given the coroners some difficulty in having the line of communication they're used to," Simpson said.It's been nearly two years since

the state terminated its con-tract with Dr. Steven Hayne, a pathologist who came un-der fire for his work in several criminal cases, including ones that resulted in the exonera-tion of two men who had been convicted of capital murder.Mississippi last had a medical

examiner in 1995. The void had been filled by Hayne, who handled the majority of autop-sies for the state's criminal in-vestigations.The state's forensic investiga-

tion system came under scru-tiny for Hayne's work. At the time, he didn't have American Board of Pathology certifica-

tion in forensic pathology. Gov. Haley Barbour signed into law a requirement that pathologists performing au-topsies for the state must be board-certified.Simpson had previously said

the state would pay $250,000 for a medical examiner. On Tuesday, he wouldn't disclose the latest salary being dis-cussed.Simpson said the University

of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson will provide au-topsy and medical services for the state medical examiner's office.Simpson said the search for

a medical examiner was ham-pered, in part, because there's a shortage of board-certified physicians. Simpson also said

the state's contract with Glob-al Forensics had required the company to assist with recruit-ing pathologists."That hadn't been happen-

ing," he said.Earlier this year, Dr. Bruce

Levy, who had been operating the Tennessee company, was arrested for possession of mari-juana. Simpson suspended the state's contract with the com-pany.Simpson said the contract was

re-negotiated and one of the terms stipulated Levy could hold no stock in the company that was providing services to Mississippi.Local coroners said it's past

time for Mississippi to have a medical examiner."The system that we operate

under was designed to have a medical examiner in charge. If there was a discrepancy on a death between a coroner and a family, the medical examiner would hear the arguments. The medical examiner is where the buck stops," said Greg Mer-chant, the coroner in Lowndes County and president of the Mississippi Coroners Associa-

tion.Monroe County Coroner

Alan Gurley said the state ac-tually needs to hire four or five pathologists. He said Global Forensics had a rotating staff."Like him or not, Hayne was

basically doing what five or six are doing," Gurley said. "Even for a week, we can't be with-out."

More times than I could even try to count, I have been the awkward girl standing by the punch table at a party. I am the most uncoordinated, unbal-anced and off-beat dancer that you have ever seen.I have always admired those

with the confidence to jump on the dance floor and impress the crowd, but my tragic attempts to follow their lead tend to end in disaster. A friend of mine regularly

tries to coach me, but swing dancing is simply lost on me. He has suffered through many crunched toes and taken sev-eral elbows to the face, which I think is probably more embar-rassing for me than painful for him.For those out there who sym-

pathize with me, there is a so-lution which may very well end a lifetime of dance-related di-sasters: the Ole Miss Ballroom Dance Club.For both beginners and ad-

vanced dancers alike, this club offers lessons on a variety of different dances, such as swing, waltz, tango and rumba.

On the second Saturday of each month, the club usually holds a mixer. For a small fee at the door ($8 for members/$12 for non-members), profession-al dance guru Brandon Smith teaches a lesson and then gives the opportunity to mingle among the crowd and show off your new moves.President Fred Lorenzo en-

courages students especially to join in on the fun for several reasons.First of all, the low-impact

cardio exercise is good for over-all health. Many professional sports teams even have their players learn to ballroom dance to improve agility and tact. Secondly, it is a great way to

meet people. The lessons and mixers are open to couples and singles.Most importantly, you can

learn how to prevent making yourself look like a complete idiot on the Square.Oh, and boys, knowing how

to properly dance is one of the most attractive things to fe-males. It speaks to a guy’s con-fidence and control over his body (this is very important).

Ballroom Dance Club receives the benefit of discounted en-trance fees, but the events are open to all those who wish to attend: students, faculty and

people of the Oxford commu-nity.Upcoming events include

salsa and swing dance lessons, coached by Brandon Thomas, on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Powerhouse.

The next mixer is scheduled to be held November 13 in the ballroom next to the Johnson Commons cafeteria.Still a little shy? Private les-

sons are also available. Stu-dent-teacher Grecia Estrada-

Goin from Belize offers private and group lessons.Become a member of the

club for only $25, an entry fee which pays for itself consider-ing the discounts you will get on the mixers and lessons.

DANCING, continued from page 7

The early dawn light staggers in the room through the bare side of a half closed curtain as the sounds of music fill the space of early morning confu-sion.The tones of a vinyl record

permeate like the warmth of a campfire in the depths of win-ter. They reminisce of purer times in music when the art-ists had a statement that was pressed onto 12 inches of plas-tic. Life can be as mundane or sig-

nificant as one wants it to be but with the aid of an escape the beauty of a perfect moment will be surpassed.

For any American over the age of 8, it’s probably safe to say they own some form of a digital music player. The iPod has become one of the great-est creations for self-appointed music enthusiasts in the But the shallowness of digital mu-sic has failed to give true glory to the full beauty of music by allowing the iPod generation to be cut short of music’s true potential.Downloading music is fan-

tastic for those seeking a larger musical breadth or library but it creates devastating results for an artist by allowing you to be selective in your song down-loads.Giving listeners the option to

listen to only one song from

album fails to have the listener understand the full concept be-hind an album. Although it can be argued that

listeners may only one song is worth listening to off an album and would be wasting money to purchase an entire album. But chances are if the entire album isn’t worth spending money on then that one song probably isn’t very good and will never be revisited in your library within five years. This has led artists to lower

their recording and writing standards in favor of a more single based music industry that fails to produce anything other than a catchy dance track. In the fast pace world of to-

day it’s become so easy to type

a few letters out and hit search for whoever is your musical booty call for the week. But what happen to literally physi-cally searching for an album? There is a pleasure or an art-

form rather, to sifting through stacks of deteriorating card-board sleeves, dust-laden with the hidden treasures of decades past.It’s in the moments of discov-

ery that one will treasure their most recent catch. In the future when one is flipping through a back catalogue of physical records there is a memory at-tached with each. There is certain music that is

meant to be discovered on vi-nyl and compact discs or digi-tal files will never be capable of

serving an album true justice. It’s impossible to fully under-

stand the poetics of Jim Mor-rison through streaming digital media and only when you hear the harmonies of Crosby, Stills and Nash can one fully fathom the possibilities of a spiritual moment in music.It would be a lie, although,

to say that all music would be made magnificent would it be played on vinyl. There would be no way that even the splen-dor of record could make the talentless squandering of most mainstream modern music.The warmth of vinyl can only

be described through the pops and warbling tone of a warped vinyl that has paid its dues serv-ing listeners over time.

Q: How long have you been involved in the sport of golf?A: I started playing at five.

My grandmother got me into the game.Q: What drew you to golf?A: My grandmother. She

loved it so much. We used to go around the course together, but the number one reason has to be the golf cart.Q: How long have you been

involved with golf here at Ole Miss?A: This is my fourth year

coaching here. I started coach-ing in 2001 at Birmingham-Southern.Q: What is your favorite per-

sonal memory from golf?A: There are so many but I

guess when I thought I was go-ing to get a “whoopin”. I was hitting a five iron over water and when I hit it the head flew off my club and went farther than the ball. Turns out I just

needed a new set of clubs.Q: What has been your favor-

ite Ole Miss golf experience?A: You could say the win at

Missouri or probably the most exciting is seeing the faces two years ago when the team made it to NCAA Regionals.Q: As of now, where does

it look like Ole Miss golf is heading?A: Up. Definitely up. We are

currently ranked 31st in the country and Natalie Gleadall is 15th. We also are breaking records left and right. The team is more motivated then I have ever seen. Q: What would you like to see

the golf program here at Ole Miss do in the near future?A: I would like to be con-

stantly ranked in the top 20 year in and year out and also to keep growing as a program. Also more national recogni-tion would be nice.Q: In your opinion, what

makes a good golfer?A: Passion. You absolutely

have to have passion in what

you do. To take it to the next level you have to have passion, desire, goals, and dedication. Q: How has golf impacted

you personally?A: I can’t imagine doing any-

thing else with my life. I love the game. I get so much out of it like watching others smile, that’s the big one. I like to help others reach their highest goals whether teaching or coaching and to get to see them have fun and smile.Q: What does golf have that

makes it unique that no other sport has?A: It is a lifetime sport. You

can play the game at an early age and continue on at many different levels. You can play late into life and love it.

While the Ole Miss Baseball team won’t hit the diamond to compete for a championship until next February, the Reb-els will hit the field to com-pete for a different set of brag-ging rights this week with the 2010 edition of the Red-Blue World Series/Pizza Bowl.Wednesday, the Red and Blue

teams will face off in the first game of a best-of-three series to determine the winner of the annual fall event for the Reb-els. All games will be played at Oxford-University Stadium and fans are welcome to come out for the event. Admission is free.The squad will be divided

into two teams and will face off at 2:30 p.m. all three days.While there are a lot of new

faces on the diamond this sea-son who will be experiencing the Red-Blue World Series for the first time, leading the two squads are a pair of savvy vet-erans who have been through their share of fall contests.Managing the Red team this

season is senior outfielder Matt Smith, while junior

right-hander David Goforth will manage the Blue team.“It’s a fun time,” Smith said.

“Since we started, the Red team has gotten their butts beat every time. This is a good opportunity for us to show we can take control and get things done. I feel we have the better pitching staff and I think we’ll win in two games.”“Ever since I’ve been here, the

coaches have selected who they think they’ll win and Coach Bianco has picked his team and they’ve lost,” Goforth said. “This year he picked the Red team, so it doesn’t look too good for them. “It’s our last time out to-

gether in intra-squads and it’s competitive. We’re gonna hit the field and try to kick their butts. I think we clearly have a better pitching staff, though they may have the edge in hit-ters. But I feel like we have a staff that can hold them down and get us the wins.”The Rebels take the field to

open the 2011 campaign on Friday, Feb. 18 against Wright State at O-U Stadium/Swayze Field.
