undreds joined the Oxford Women’s March on the Square, in step with hundreds of thousands of others in Washington, D.C., and around the globe to support people who might be at risk in the current political climate today.
The march was organized by a group of local women including Oxford resident and retired school teacher Susan Fino. Fino said the day before the march they were only expecting around 150 participants, including a group from nearby Tupelo. The turnout was more than triple what the organizers had originally expected. Originally, the marchers had
received a permit to march on the sidewalk around the Square, but during the beginning of the event, a city council member called and told the organizers they had been granted access to march on the street. The crowd erupted in cheers. Unitarian Universalist Church of Oxford Reverend Gail Stratton gave the keynote speech before marchers
took their first steps toward solidarity. “We do not live in a bubble,” Stratton said. “This is the United States…the people who care for the rights of everyone are the majority, and we must make our voices heard." More than a dozen Oxford marchers, both men and

Families will mourn four people who died after a tornado with winds above 136 mph tore a 25-mile path across southern Mississippi before dawn Saturday. The Forrest County coroner identified the dead as Earnest Perkins, 58; Cleveland Madison, 20; David Wayne McCoy, 47 and Simona Cox, 72. They are among at least 15 confirmed dead in the South as a trove of tornadoes and storms hit the region. The governor of Georgia has declared a state of emergency in seven counties that have suffered deaths, injuries and severe damage from weekend storms. Gov. Nathan Deal's office said Sunday the emergency declaration includes Brooks, Cook and Berrien counties — where 11 people have been confirmed dead in south central Georgia
near the Florida state line. Also included were Atkinson, Colquitt, Lowndes and Thomas counties. Deal said in a statement that state agencies are "making all resources available" to affected counties and "our thoughts and prayers are with Georgians suffering from the storm's impact." The National Weather Service said Sunday that southern Georgia, northern Florida and the corner of southeastern Alabama could face forceful tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail. Long track tornadoes, which plow on for PHOTO COURTESY: JENNIFER LOTT miles, were also a real risk. A woman picks up debris from her home, which was destroyed in Saturday’s The weather service's storms.

‘Scared straight’ programs teach permanent lessons COLUMN
MIKALA TURNER

Recently, I ran across a report on a program called “Consider the Consequences” in Bibb County, Georgia. The program is one of those that focus on younger children who are heading
down a dark path with the law. The program began when Superior Court Judge Verda Colvin gave a speech to a group of juvenile delinquents who had been in her courtroom that day for petty crimes. She decided the speech was not enough, and upon the request of the children’s parents, she sought a new way to get the children to realize what they had done was the beginning of a hard life for them. “Parents have gotten to the point to where they say ‘I need help’ and I’m willing to go to law enforcement to get help,” Colvin said in an interview with reporters from Crime Watch Daily.

Children involved in the program often undergo tasks and events that happen every day in a prison, such as being confronted by loud, angry prisoners yelling in their face, cleaning the bathrooms without any gloves and even being put in a jail cell filled with criminals who could be dangerous. The program in Bibb County earned attention from some media in 2016 because they saw the program in a negative light. Some people see it as “traumatizing” to the children involved. They justified this allegation by saying these events only make the children want to act out more be-
cause of the stress the program puts on them. I do not believe these allegations at all. The scared straight programs should have one purpose: that is to scare the delinquents to the point where they will do anything to stay out of trouble. The program should be an awakener to the children of today who think they are untouchable and cannot be harmed. The only problem I see with these types of programs is that they are criticized by people who think children should always be coddled and never see the truth of the world that surrounds them. Children who grow up
feeling as though they can do or say anything without fear of consequences rarely go on to be pillars of the community. This program shows them what their future could be like, and in the end that can only help them change for the better. Though one day in jail may be slightly traumatizing to the children, what would be even more damaging to them is a lifetime in one. Mikala Turner is a sophomore social work major from Bruce.

My hope for 2017: A return of civility in politics
PATRICK WATERS
thedmopinion@gmail.com
For people who love politics, Inauguration Day is like Christmas morning or Easter Sunday. We celebrate a new leader, a new administration and some of our nation’s finest choirs, performers and military heroes. No matter our party, whom we voted for or what we believe, it is an opportunity for all Americans to come together and commemorate our democracy. Our fantastic, complex and messy democracy. In both of President Obama’s past inaugurations, civility was the norm. While there were groups that protested, by and large, they remained peaceful, exercising their legitimate right to free speech and assembly, while maintaining basic respect for the president and the office he occupies. This year, however, civility took a sharp downward turn during the parade and events surrounding President Donald Trump’s inauguration. As of late Friday, Reuters reported at least 217 people being arrested in outbursts of violence on Inauguration Day. So-called demonstrators tripped Trump supporters. Limousines and vehicles were set ablaze and videos
emerged showing people screaming as they heard President Trump recite the oath of office. Even Larry King could not escape the chaos. The SUV he was riding in had its windows smashed out. If it were not for the violence they caused, it would be easy to laugh this off, as a symptom of the entitlement culture that pervades too many in our society, Republican and Democrat. This behavior, however, an attempted interference in the peaceful transition of power from president to president, is unacceptable and should be treated as such. My hope is that President Trump makes it clear to the American people, and especially to those who engage in violence, that this will not be tolerated from any one person or any one group, regardless of their political ideology.
It is imperative that the violence that often masks itself as peaceful protest be dealt with accordingly, with special efforts also made to ensure that peaceful protestors are able to preserve their rights. To their credit, many national Democrats, including President Obama, President and Secretary Clinton, Sen. Schumer and Sen. Sanders, were models of grace during the ceremonies. But many others were not. More than 60 House Democrats refused to attend, an unprecedented action that did not occur at either of President Obama’s inaugurations, including in 2009, or at any presidential inauguration since at least 1973. If the goal of these groups was to diminish President Trump, they will soon find that this only energizes his base and disillusions the middle Americans whom

who fall under the slight risk category or worse, is about 38 million people. In Mississippi, Monica McCarty lost her father — Perkins — who died in the same Hattiesburg trailer park where she and her boyfriend live. Madison, her son, was apparently crushed to death while in bed at her mother's house where he lived. Standing amid the tornado's carnage, McCarty wept as her boyfriend, Tackeem Molley, comforted her. "They couldn't get him out of the house. They said he was lying in the bed," McCarty said of her son. Molley said he and McCarty were in a trailer when the storm hit. Molley, whose bare foot was bandaged, said he climbed out through a hole in what had either been the trailer's roof or wall. "I had a little hole I could squeeze out of," he said. The living are beginning to look toward recovery. That task will be steep in Petal, a city of 10,000 people across the Leaf River from the larger Hattiesburg. Residents of the two cities are no strangers to tor-

nado recovery following a February 2013 tornado that plowed through the area. But Petal Mayor Hal Marx says that for his city, Saturday's storm was more severe than the one four years ago. Early estimates show more than 300 homes and 30 businesses were damaged in Petal alone. Hundreds of more structures, including almost every building on the campus of William Carey University, were damaged in Hattiesburg. "It's devastating," Marx said Saturday. The 54-year-old Holland had hoped the Wine Cellar would be a good investment for her retirement. "We just purchased this business on July 29 and totally remodeled it," Holland said. "It was all looking really nice, but it's not anymore." By Saturday evening, Holland had tarped the damaged roof. But she's worried about water damage, looting and collecting insurance. And her three employees may go without work while she rebuilds. The losses are closer to home for Michelle Kirk, who has lived for five years in a Petal subdivision. She was looking at squatting in a damaged house that may be without power for as long

as a week. At dusk Saturday, more than 6,000 people were without power in Forrest and Lamar counties. Utilities were warning that restoration could take days because of damage to transmission lines, even as crews worked into the night. Early Sunday, the National Weather Service confirmed a tornado near Nashville, Georgia, and officials said more severe weather was possible.
A tornado ripped through Hattiesburg Saturday night, leaving four dead and many without homes.

Road Rebs take on D.C. for inauguration, march
LANA FERGUSON
dmmanaging@gmail.com
Packing bags and hitting the road is normal for the Ole Miss community, especially as Road Rebs for away football games. This past weekend, the Road Rebs journeyed to the nation’s capital to be there when history was happening. Ashley Stewart, a junior economics major from Walnut, crammed into the car with her mom, two close friends and their bags. They began their 13hour trek to Washington, D.C., for President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration. “Ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy in summer 2015, I’ve been on board,” Stewart said. This was the first presidential race in which Stewart was eligible to vote. “I had the privilege to attend one of Trump’s rallies about a year ago. Now, he’s made it all the way to the White House, and it was such an honor to witness him coming this far.” Stewart’s group stood in the west standing area directly in front of the Capitol where the ceremony took place. “There aren’t words to describe the pride that I felt being surrounded by so many thousands of people that have the same love for our country and new president,” Stewart said. “I will forever remember the feeling I had while being surrounded by so many individuals that truly love their country. Every (one?) radiated pride and patriotism.” Corbin Keown, a junior African-American studies and political science major from Memphis, Tennessee, flew into D.C. to visit with Ole Miss alumni. Keown had a different feeling going into the 45th Presidential Inauguration. “There was a great sense of anxiety and misplaced optimism in the air,” Keown said. “I feel as if many voters believe that President Trump will be the solutions to all problems that they have, and that is an extremely toxic notion.” He said that despite this feel-
ing, it was still great to be a part of the ceremony. Keown stood in the blue section, just barely close enough to see Trump being sworn in. Then he spent the majority of the day watching ceremonies at luncheons. “Regardless of if I disagree with many of the president’s stances, I respect the office and the ceremony of the transition into power,” Keown said. “It is a special occasion that very little are able to experience first hand, and I am very lucky to have been in D.C. to witness it.” Some Rebels traveled to D.C. for a completely different reason: the Women’s March on Washington. The Women’s March is a grassroots effort working to bring together people and protect women’s rights, safety, health and families. Laura Antonow, director of college programs in the Division of Outreach, flew into town Thursday to meet up with her partner and a large group of fellow Mississippians. Antonow said she to help bring light to the issues that concern her as a woman. She said “women’s issues” is a misnomer and many of the issues
like healthcare, education, civil rights, freedom of the press, mental health and criminal justice reform are issues to people of all genders, races, religions and political affiliations. “That was apparent at the march,” Antonow said. “It was the most diverse gathering of people I’ve ever witnessed.” Antonow watched the inauguration on a TV just a few blocks away from where it was taking place. The hotel she stayed at was a mix of folks going to inaugural balls and people in pink hats ready for the march. “The word ‘awesome’ is so overused that I hesitate to describe it as such, but it truly was,” Antonow said. “As our group was walking toward the gathering place on Independence Avenue, we looked to the left and saw thousands of people walking down the street to the starting point.” One of her friends described it as a tsunami of people, unlike anything she had ever seen before. “I was really proud to be representing Mississippi,” Antonow said. “I think other parts of the county often write us off as out of touch and narrow mind-

Mississippi is an incredible place. We’re not a homogenous group. I think that’s important to share.” She said she will most remember all of the power, love and solidarity she felt throughout that day. “I was encouraged to see people advocating for and supporting causes on behalf of fel-
low Americans,” Antonow said. “For instance, men were holding signs supporting equal pay for women and white marchers were wearing Black Lives Matter shirts.” Antonow said it was great to be a part of history. “It was a snapshot of the melting pot of America,” Antonow said.

women, wore pink and black cat hats in reference to President Donald Trump’s leaked comments with Billy Bush. Oxford resident Ellen Shelton and her husband Mickey Shelton wore hats she had knitted herself. “We made them quickly,” Shelton said. Shelton said she wanted to knit the hats so she could wear them for the march and in support of friends. Many homemade signs were displayed as well as hand-written messages on T-shirts. Whitman Smith, director of admissions at Ole Miss, wrote in marker on a plain white shirt: “Super bad, super rad, feminist dad.” "I didn’t choose (the wording); my daughter did,” Smith said. Smith said he marches for his daughter, who also marched. “I march because I believe everyone deserves equality, and we don’t have it,” Smith said. One marcher wore a T-shirt that said “A woman’s place is in the house, the senate and oval office.” Another marcher toted a red, white and blue print of a muslim woman donning an American flag hijab. More than a dozen demonstrators carried gay pride flags. The event included an action wall where demonstrators were asked to write what they were going to do to advance the cause of equality and human rights. The multicolored Post-it notes scattered across the wall read “I am going to call my congressman,” “Support Planned Parenthood,” “I will speak out” and more messages. “This is an act of courage,” Stratton said of Oxford’s march.

Marchers shouted chants such as “Women’s rights, human rights” as they made way around the Square. Following the march, participants wrote out plans to bring about change on the action wall. See theDMonline.com for more photos.

Pop Up Oxford kicks off with inaugural Hotel Hop DEVNA BOSE
thedmfeatures@gmail.com
Pop Up Oxford, a weeklong celebration of the rich culture of Oxford, kicked off Sunday with an inaugural Hotel Hop and will conclude on Saturday with a Ted Talk hosted by the University of Mississippi, a basketball game and the last day of the Fiber Arts Festival. The events were put together at the tourism office “during a slow time for the hotels” in Oxford. The tourism office hoped to rectify the drop in business in January with a week packed with various events around town. “We wanted to create a couple of days for people to stay in hotels and do something fun in Oxford, all while displaying the culture here and what makes Oxford unique,” said Katie Kaiser, visitor services coordinator at Visit Oxford. “We wanted to generate business because of the low revenue
and low occupancy, so our solution was Pop Up Oxford. We created some backto-back events, and the hotels in town agreed to offer a discount for visitors planning to attend these events.” The week will be kicked off with the first annual Oxford Hotel Hop on Sunday. Hotels around Oxford including Chancellor’s House and the Inn at Ole Miss will host food and drink tastings, and the types of food and drink offered will vary with each location. Participants will be offered transportation through the hotels’ shuttle services and the double decker bus. “We didn’t expect to sell out, but we did two weeks ago,” Kaiser said. “We’re hoping to continue it next year.” A number of events, ranging from the Fiber Arts Festival to book signings, will explore the different facets of arts in Oxford. There will be a film screening at University Museum as well as

People were just beginning to see a turn from the Great Depression under President Franklin Roosevelt at this time, going from drab years then progressing into a happier time that would be short lived with the oncoming war. “I expect it to be uplifting

Throughout the play, watchers are introduced to the 1930s as the happy-golucky era before World War II.

Set in the sizzling 1930s and ‘40s, “In the Mood, a 1940s Musical Revue” is a musical event that revisits the past in a cheery and uplifting manner. It has the sounds and beats of big band, bringing the jazz era to life. “In the Mood” brings back to us the fun and energetic swing dancing movement. Who wouldn’t want to get up and dance with some Benny Goodman tunes playing? It’s those feel-good lines and vibes that really bring this show to life. However, it’s not only the music and dancing. It’s also the costumes and makeup that give such a candid portrayal of the era.

Film Festival, explained further about matching historic trends. “What I love about period pieces is the effort that goes into making sure everything is historically accurate. It is a true imitation of history, like a living museum,” O’Neal said. “You can see the research and study that goes into creating the looks for all of the actors. It’s a testament to the talent of the costume designers.” This era in particular was an important landmark in history. Not only did this period see the beginning of a second World War, but also the beginning of women in the workplace, prompting more risqué apparel for women and more uniform apparel for men. “There was a lot of change happening in the 1940s,” O’Neal said. “You had women entering the workforce, and with that came changes

Women’s basketball team drops third straight game DEVANTE TOLES
thedmsports@gmail.com
The Lady Rebels fell to Alabama at home Sunday, dropping their third straight SEC game 65-57. Good defense allowed the Tide to gain a lead early in the game, shooting 60 percent from behind the arc the first half, while keeping Ole Miss under 15 percent from the arc lead to a score of 25-19 at the end of the first half. Both teams caused a lot of commotion on the defensive end, forcing double-digit turnovers on both sides in the first half. The Rebels couldn’t seem to find their stride offensively much in the first quarter, but as the defense forced turnovers, more opportunities opened, and eventually Ole Miss started to heat up offensively in the second half. Ole Miss came out of the gates running in after the break, quickly tying the game at 25 early in the third quarter. Both teams gathered somewhat of an offensive rhythm in the third quarter, with the Rebels more than doubling their firsthalf score to narrow the Alabama lead to 44-43. The fourth quarter went more in favor of the Crimson Tide: Ole Miss was able to take the lead early in the fourth, but Alabama eventually pulled away when Ole Miss
went cold from the field. Madinah Muhammad played well for the Rebels in the loss, posting 18 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals. Ole Miss shot a disparaging 21-59 from the field, good for just 36 percent, while Alabama shot an efficient 58 percent, going 21-44. “They put their head and drove the ball to the rim, and we didn’t have any toughness to stop it,” Head Coach Matt Insell said. “We got them out of everything they were doing offensively, but we were not very tough.” Ole Miss tried to make up for its shooting woes at the freethrow line, going an impressive 13-17 from the charity stripe, but it wasn’t enough to push the game in their favor. Insell accredited the defeat to toughness the opposing team showed. “True credit goes to Alabama, they made plays when they had to make plays. The Tide just played a lot tougher than our team, and we continued to miss layups at the rim and have defensive breakdowns on the weak side and helps side, and those things matter down the stretch of the game,” Insell said. “They put their heads down and drove to the rim, and we had nothing to stop it. We
got them out of everything offensively, but we lacked toughness in so many areas, and it shows throughout the course of a ball game.” The impact player on Alabama’s side was freshman guard Jordan Lewis, who scored 22 points with six rebounds and four assists. She played well despite being a freshman and showed great maturity in leading Alabama to a victory on the road. She left her mark on the game offensively and defensively, tacking a steal to her stat sheet. “Jordan Lewis beat us every way she could beat us,” Insell said. “There’s nothing more to that. She was the difference in the basketball game.”

What you missed during break in Ole Miss football BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Head coach Hugh Freeze made the first major staff changes during his tenure in Oxford, and neither side of the football was spared. A little over a week after it was announced that defensive coordinator Dave Wommack would not return for the 2017 season, offensive coordinator Dan Werner was let go. Here are some things you may have missed over the break. 1.

to Waco, Texas, a few days later to become Baylor’s next offensive coordinator. It was a promotion for Lubick, and a hard one to turn down at that. Freeze and Longo then replaced him with Jacob Peeler, who spent the four previous seasons at Cal. Defensively, McGriff said when he was hired that he wanted to bring in a coach who specialized in stopping the run, and he did just that by hiring Bradley Dale Peveto to coach the linebackers. Peveto has been around the block a time or two, with stints as an assistant at Arkansas, Kentucky and LSU, where he won the national championship in 2007. He’s also been a head coach at the FCS level and is known for being a strong recruiter. Ole Miss rounded out its staff by hiring Tray Scott as its defensive line coach. Scott spent the previous two seasons coaching the defensive line at North Carolina and has been on Freeze’s staff before. It’s been a busy offseason for the Rebels, and the new staff will have its work cut out for it as it tries to piece together a recruiting class leading into signing day. These next few weeks leading up to National Signing Day will likely be the most crucial period in this offseason for Ole Miss.
