The Oxford Board of Aldermen has recently chosen a consultant to work with the city on a new comprehensive plan that will guide the growth of the city through 2037. Partners, Orion/ Walker will draw up the new plans for Oxford.

A comprehensive plan is a tool for planning the growth of local communities. Once it is properly developed, the plan can be of great use to the city’s efficiency. The new plan must also be accurately reflected by the city’s zoning ordinance, according to Oxford city planner Andrea Correll.

The zoning ordinance is the ultimate regulation of land use while the comprehensive plan is intended to illustrate future land use, which zoning is based on.

This new comprehensive plan will serve as a playbook for the next twenty-year period. It will also serve as the visual illustration of how this land can develop.

Called “2037: Our 200th,” the plan will be very beneficial towards the community, as it will be focusing on specific build-out statistics. This means taking the future population, putting it on the land and making it agreeable for the city.

2037 is the city of Oxford’s 200th year anniversary.

“When land comes into the

city, areas of the adopted Future Land Plan from the adopted 2004 Comprehensive Plan must be amended,” Correll said. “As a planner, I have to bring the plan up-to-date. Usually in Mississippi, comprehensive plans are updated every five years.

Oxford’s hasn’t been updated in ten.”

For the next six to eight months, there will be informational meetings with a steering committee aimed at informing the public of the progress of the new Comprehensive Plan.

Orion/Walker will also be reviewing The University of Mississippi’s master plan, which, according to olemiss.edu, establishes a vision for an agreeable and lively campus setting.

Oxford native and Ole Miss student Callie Mayo said that she is glad the committee will keep the public updated on this new comprehensive plan. She also stated that she is both excited and nervous to see what the future holds for Oxford.

“Growth is a good thing. It shows that our community is doing well and thriving. However, one of the most appealing parts about Oxford growing up and, still today, is the small town feel. I’m nervous our town is going to keep growing and take that aspect away from it,” she said.

The informational meetings will occur once a month and will serve as an interaction tool for the people of Oxford.

COLUMN

Once a cheater, always a cheater We live in a world where everyone hates the Patriots.

Although Patriots fans would argue that this “unwarranted” contempt derives from their extraordinary capabilities, the majority of America would say that it is because of their cheating and lying head coach and quarterback. This infamous reputation could probably be credited to any number of reasons: 2004, when the Patriots were accused of stealing other teams’ signals; 2007’s Spygate controversy when they were found guilty of videotaping practices; this very season’s earlier controversy, when New England used illegal plays and formations.

So now, in January 2015, when Coach Beli-cheat is confronted with the accusation that he cheated in the AFC championship by deflating 11 out of 12 footballs, he expects us to roll THE DAILY

over and accept the answer that he had “no knowledge whatsoever of this situation.”

The lying, cheating quarterback isn’t any better.

How does Tom Brady think he can convince us he was unaware of the fact that the ball was under-inflated by 2 pounds per square inch?

You are a quarterback; you’ve been playing professional football for 13 years, and your argument is that you had no idea?

Please.

This is simply a byproduct of a weak and ineffective NFL commissioner. I hardly expect Roger Goodell to impose any form of legitimate punishment on Tom Brady, the NFL’s Golden Boy. The question of the matter is why is New England confident enough to cheat multiple times?

Maybe their punishment for their wrongdoing never reflects

the intensity of their crimes.

When Sean Payton, Gregg Williams and the Saints were found guilty in the 2010 Bountygate, Goodell probably responded with the most acute sanctions imaginable. Williams was suspended indefinitely; Payton was suspended for a year. The team itself was fined $500,000 and lost its first round draft picks.

When New England was caught in the Spygate scandal, Coach Beli-cheat was also fined $500,000. The team was subsequently fined $250,000 and lost first round draft picks.

Although deflating a football is not on par with being paid to purposefully injure a player, the crime, in this case, should match the punishment.

Because despite the fines, the Patriots are the ones who still feel comfortable cheating.

They are not frightened by hav-

ing their dishonest coach or QB suspended because they are the Patriots.

The issue is greater than the Patriots simply deflating the ball.

The National Football League has become an organization where morality only matters if it is backed by a large financial component. The NFL will kick someone out for spanking their kid, yet turn a blind eye to the individuals tainting the sport of football.

So, it’s 2015 and people still hate the Patriots and their biggest fan, Roger Goodell, because for some reason, the Golden Boy and his team are still above the law.

Loan debt an increasing issue for UM students, graduates DARBY RADCLIFFE jdradcli@olemiss.edu

The average student loan debt for The University of Mississippi graduates was $25,613, compared to the state average of $27,571 and national average of $25,550 in the 2013-2014 school year, according to the recent Mississippi Comprehensive Annual Financial Report Average.

With a full-time undergraduate enrollment of 16,677 students, the proportion of University of Mississippi graduates with federal loan debt was 49 percent and 14 percent for private loan debt.

Lauren Diven-Brown has been director of financial aid at Ole Miss since 2001 and an employee of the office since 1995. In that time, she said she has seen the cost of education rise while the amount of grants awarded has remained largely the same.

At The University of Mississippi, 68 percent of fulltime undergraduates received some kind of grant or financial scholarship with an aver-

age scholarship or grant award of $7,124. The total amount of aid reOle Miss ceived was $77,298,490.

“When you look at the Pell Grant, it doesn’t have the same purchasing it used to, and thus as Mississippi a result, more people are having to take out loans,” Diven-Brown said.

percent for full-time students and 32 percent for part-time students, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics.

These retention rates measured the percentage of first-time students who were seeking bachelor’s degrees who returned to the institution to continue their studies the following fall.

The overall graduation rate is also known as the “Student Right to Know” or IPEDS graduation rate. The “Student Right to Know” tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they completed a degree or other award such as a certificate within 150 percent of “normal time” for completing the program in which they are enrolled. At The University of Mississippi, 71 percent of entering students in the fall of 2013 were counted as “fulltime, first-time.”

The return of Moon Taxi

zkmcdona@go.olemiss.edu

Moon Taxi’s ascent into the limelight can be seen from miles away, but they don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. The Nashville alt-rock band has grown in popularity ever since the release of their first album, Melodica, in 2007.

The guys, no stranger to Oxford’s ways, will return for a performance at 8 p.m. tonight at The Lyric.

Their latest album, Mountains Beaches Cities, came out in 2013 and made waves with the popularity of the wanderlust-themed track “Morocco.” The song has become a hit that seems to complement the feeling of adventure perfectly.

The band is made up of five members: guitarists Trevor Turndrup and Spencer Thompson, bassist Tommy Putnam, keyboardist Wes Bailey and drummer Tyler Ritter.

The album is instilled with the energy present in their past albums, but Mountains Beaches Cities also shows growth musically. The sound and musical aesthetic the group possessed within the first two albums has expanded with Mountains Beaches Cit-

Mountains Beaches Cities was the result of many experiences while traveling. Moon Taxi’s Thompson, assisted by keys player Bailey, produced the album, which was largely inspired by the idea of exploration and adventure.

“We take in a lot of what we hear on the road; what someone might be playing in the bus or

even what we hear other bands we’re touring with doing on stage. We’re soaking in different rhythms and lyrical ideas while we tour,” Bailey said. “The result on Mountains Beaches Cities was a culmination of those traveled experiences which permeate through the songs.”

In fact, the name of the album was inspired by a realization during a show at The Orange

Peel in Asheville, North Carolina. After finalizing the sequence of songs on the album before the show, the band could not decide on a title.

“After a solid set at the Peel,” Bailey said, “we were on the way out of the venue when we were thinking of all the attributes of North Carolina. It’s got great Mountains, Beaches and Cities.

Inspiration can come from many

places, we just try to stay aware of our surroundings, and it’s easy to see.”

Moon Taxi also references festivals as an abundant source for more diverse listeners. Bailey said large festivals, like Bonnaroo, spread new music to listeners on a worldwide platform.

Hearing various bands and sounds at other huge festivals like SXSW in Austin, Texas, also gives members of Moon Taxi new ideas and approaches to making music.

“We felt the ‘Bonnaroo bump’ after our set in 2012,” he said.

“And fans still say that was the set that got them hooked.”

Bailey said the band members all have a range of musical influences that inspire their unique sound. Bailey said his personal inspiration is Billy Joel, whose album “The Stranger” gave him the initial interest to start playing music in bands.

This spring Moon Taxi is recording what Bailey said, “Will undoubtedly be our best release yet.”

The band initially was to be joined tonight by another Nashville up-and-comer, The Lonely Biscuits. They announced yesterday on their Twitter that they would no longer be able to play the show due to “uncontrollable circumstances.”

‘Anything Goes’ sails into the Gertrude C. Ford Center vrwilson@go.olemiss.edu

If you were to walk down the Great White Way in New York City circa 1930, you would be hardpressed not to notice one name appearing and reappearing on the theatre marquees: Cole Porter, a composer and lyricist who wrote some of the most recognizable literature of musical theatre during his time period. His works include such cornerstones of Broadway as “Paris,” “The Gay Divorcee,” “Jubilee” and his most recognizable musical of them all, “Anything Goes.”

“Anything Goes” made its Broadway debut in 1934 and ran for 420 performances, securing it as the fourth-longest running musical of the 1930s. It has enjoyed two Broadway revivals and three West End runs. The latest Broadway revival of the musical, which opened with Broadway star Sutton Foster in the lead role, began in April of 2011 and closed in July of 2012 after 521 performances.

During its year-and-a-bit run, the show and its cast and crew were nominated for a total of 9 Tony Awards. Such success easily paved the way for a national tour company, which opened its first performance in October 2012. On Wednesday, Jan. 28, the national tour company made a stop in Oxford.

The show starred Emma Stratton as showgirl evangelist Reno Sweeney, who captured the stage in the first five minutes of the night and held it in capable hands for every minute of the performance. In a role made recently famous by the unparalleled Sutton Foster, Stratton did not fall into the common trap of emulating the Broadway starlet but brought a fresh wit and artless charm to the contradiction of a character.

Her portrayal of the blonde and flawless singing were only rivaled

by her spectacular dance skill, a necessity to any actress in a Cole Porter musical. Tap dancing is quickly becoming a lost art in the modern Broadway musical, but Porter’s shows have always featured tap-dancing sequences that entertain the ear and doubtlessly challenge the performers. Stratton strutted her way through two acts of meddling and scheming her way into the love lives of her fellow passengers aboard the S.S. American.

As Billy Crocker—the second of three central characters in the show--Brian Krinsky can only be described as guileless and earnest. He perfectly played the lovestruck Crocker, who stows away aboard the S.S. American to win the hand of a woman engaged to another. Krinsky portrayed well the boyish exuberance of a man so in love that he would do anything for his girl, and his counterpart

Unfortunately, the meekness of her character extended to her singing—while Porter gave Harcourt a gorgeous second-act solo, Clark’s voice seemed too wary and ill-controlled to do the soaring soprano notes full justice. However, the voices of her fellow cast mates seemed to bolster her confidence, as she sang two attractive duets with Krinsky’s Crocker in the first act, and she shone in company numbers.

The show was a marvelous addition to the Ford Center’s season.

Excitingly for the university community and Oxford, lead Emma Stratton had only good things to say about the few hours she spent here.

“Loved being in Mississippi!

What a beautiful theatre!” she wrote on this writer’s program post-show. The tour continues tomorrow in Columbus, Georgia.

Summers went 4-0 against Mississippi State at the Tad Smith Coliseum in his career at Ole Miss.

“I just can’t lose against them. We are playing our rival, and we have to do whatever it takes to win,” Summers said.

Mississippi State lost the game despite shooting 55.6% from the field, and out-rebounded the Rebels 34-31.

“I give our guys credit for staying in the fight, and making enough plays to survive,” said Kennedy.

Ole Miss won consecutive conference games for the first time all season. The Rebels will have another opportunity to continue their winning streak as they’ll face a struggling Missouri team (7-12, 1-5 SEC) on Saturday.

“If you’re going to play meaningful basketball in March, you have to win your home games,” said Kennedy.

“We obviously did not do that in non-conference. Tonight we just happened to make the plays, and our guys are getting more comfortable in the moment.”
