Economic progress in OXFORD 2013 Parade of Beauties Building permit reports published by the city of Oxford point to a recovering economy, as the number of building permits more than tripled and commercial permits doubled from 2011 to 2012.

Kyndal Hayes was crowned Most Beautiful 2013 during the Parade of Beauties pageant Wednesday night. Seventy-six contestants vied for the title during the contest hosted by the Department of Campus Programming and Student Programing Board. Hayes was crowned

Year-end reports published by the city of Oxford indicate that the city issued 224 building permits for the construction of single-family homes in 2012, which is more than three times the 61 issued in 2011.

Randy Barber, Oxford building official, said the majority of construction permits being issued are for the building of student

housing developments, such as The Retreat and The Highlands.

“There are cottages, some duplexes and fourplexes being built,” Barber said.

The construction of developments that transition away from the traditional apartment style has contributed to the swell of permits being issued because each individual cottage or freestanding unit qualifies as a single-family residence in the city’s accounting.

According to city documentation, the value of all single-family homes constructed in 2012 totaled roughly $25.8 million, compared to the $9.3 million in 2011.

This past year, the city made $136,909 in fees for permits issued for the construction of single-family homes. In 2011, $42,623 was collected for the same purpose.

Lacrosse tournament held in memory of Wheat students The Ole Miss lacrosse team is hosting a tournament on Saturday in memory of former players Sarah and John Wheat, who were killed in a car accident last October.

BY SUMMER WIGLEY thedmnews@gmail.com

The Ole Miss lacrosse team is hosting a tournament called “The Wheat Memorial Game” on Saturday in memory of Sarah and John Wheat.

The two students were killed in a head-on collision on Oct. 27, 2012.

Sarah, 24, and her brother, John, 30, were members of

the lacrosse teams on campus during their time at Ole Miss.

“Sarah was the women’s goalie and John was a former player,” said Rachel Zurheide, the women’s lacrosse president.

Matt Raines, president of the men’s team, said he wants the players to learn from the tournament.

“I want the players to appreciate John and Sarah’s contri-

butions to this program and, more importantly, recognize how great they were,” Raines said.

Like the Wheats, Raines is also from Maryland.

“The Wheats family had a huge role in my decision to come to Ole Miss,“ Raines said. “John and Sarah were instrumental in building both See MEMORY, PAGE 5

While Apple was releasing brand-new devices with some new must-have specification, Blackberry was overloading the market with nearly identical phones with little-to-no innovation.

In the end, Apple wins the market.

able for research and development in the public sector, and the government does not have the profit incentive that businesses thrive on.

As a result, the government must be truly innovative, using all resources available to it. This means using technology to connect citizens to the government in ways never before possible.

For example, many of the large, tourist-heavy cities have designed apps that serve as personal tour guides, including audio recordings for history and details of specific landmarks.

Some of these apps even incorporate personal diaries so visitors can share their experiences with others.

Opening combat roles to women in the military will not lower standards

BY LEXI THOMAN alexandria.thoman@gmail.com

When Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced the end to the ban on women in combat roles on Jan. 24, I was stunned. I watched and rewatched his Pentagon press conference, making sure that I had heard every word correctly. Even though a series of modifications to the existing rule had opened 14,000 previously off-limits jobs in early 2012, I was not expecting a complete reversal of the 19-year-old policy to happen so soon.

Even though most major polls show that the American public is in favor of lifting the 1994 direct ground combat

thing, no matter how small, without any help from citizens. These apps shatter that train of thought.

One thing that Mississippi’s government seem to be late to the party on, though, is the digital filing of public records. Finding government reports or data

definition and assignment rule that has kept women from the front lines (Gallup, the Washington Post), that is not enough to keep many people from speaking out against the Department of Defense decision.

They provide a wide array of excuses: Women have no place in combat positions, women are too compassionate, their mere presence on the front lines will disrupt the cohesiveness of units or the effectiveness of the mission.

Some even go so far as to cite female hygiene (read: menstruation) as a disqualifying factor.

There are, of course, the more practical concerns regarding physical fitness that people often cite to bar women from combat roles. One of my good friends, an Army 2nd lieutenant on active duty and alumnus of Ole Miss, raised a similar question in

a discussion of ours several months ago. While he agreed that women play an important and effective supporting role, he didn’t think that a woman would be able to handle the physical demands of combat positions at all.

Cable networks, social media sites and syndicated op-eds have all carried the voices of Americans who oppose lifting the ban. But in all the negative opinion pieces I have read that claim the standards of our combat forces will be lowered, the authors have failed to recognize the fact that Panetta specifically stated that qualifications for these positions will remain the same.

“If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job — and, let me be clear, I’m not talking about reducing the qualifications for the job,” he stressed, “if they can meet the qualifications for the

online is nearly impossible for many of the state agencies, and even more so on the city level.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was originally based on nowoutdated technology, and it should be restructured with the technological advances in mind. Requiring all public records from the past few years onward to be available online would not only make it easier on the public to

provide checks on the government, but also it would alleviate the burden on staff and clerks who spend a good deal of time fulfilling public records requests.

Technology, after all, is a good thing. Now more than ever, we need government to truly move into the 21st century.

job, then they should have the right to serve, regardless of creed or color or gender or sexual orientation.”

General Dempsey took to the podium after the secretary and reaffirmed his statement: “We’ll integrate women in a way that enhances opportunity for everyone. This means setting clear standards of performance for all occupations based on what it actually takes to do the job.”

Not every man has what it takes to be on the front lines, but every man has the opportunity to try. Before Jan. 24, women didn’t even have the chance, but now they do. Not every woman will make the cut, but now the reason will be, “You don’t meet the qualifications,” and not, “Sorry, you’re a girl.”

As for the argument that women will ruin “cohesiveness,” people said the same thing about the workplace

when women broke out of traditional gender roles and began competing for the same jobs as men. They argued against permitting women into the military service academies in the 1970s because they would be a “distraction” for male students.

But if companies in the private sector adapted to an increasingly gender-equal workforce and the academies continue to produce quality young officers regardless of a cadet’s gender, there is no reason why combat units cannot adapt as well.

Opening combat roles will not lower military standards but reaffirms the fact that equal opportunity is a cornerstone tenet of the United States. The armed forces are no exception.

The Common Reading Experience committee is in the process of selecting a book for this fall’s incoming freshmen at The University of Mississippi.

The committee will be choosing from six books, ranging in topic from Southern culture to national politics. All of the proposed books are fewer than 400 pages in length. According to committee head Leslie Banahan, the final decision will be made in about two weeks.

Last year’s selection was “Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter,� a novel written by Ole Miss assistant professor Tom Franklin.

Christian Schloegel, a freshman public policy leadership major, said he enjoyed last year’s Common Reading Experience, despite initial misgivings. “Although I did not initially want to read ‘Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter,’ I ended up enjoying the book itself,�

Schloegel said. “Another novel like ‘Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter,’ I would read again because of the enjoyment and benefits I gained from it.�

One of the books being considered this year is Jesmyn Ward’s “Salvage the Bones,� a

novel set in Mississippi that follows the story of a family and the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina.

Two other proposed books are also set in the South. The first of these is “In the Sanctuary of Outcasts: A Memoir� by Neil White. The memoir tells the story of a Louisiana leper colony. The second is “Outcasts United: An American Town, a Refugee Team, and One Woman’s Quest to Make a Difference� by Warren St. John. The 2009 book focuses on a Georgia refugee settlement, and both books revolve around the themes of community, acceptance and the individual.

Two of the other proposed books focus on issues more relevant to the nation as a whole. “Ten Letters: The Stories Americans Tell Their President,� by Eli Saslow, show-

cases 10 individual stories of correspondence with President Obama, revealing the personal aspect of hot-button policies. “The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table,� by Tracie McMillan, focuses on the eating habits of different socioeconomic groups.

The final book under consideration is “The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier’s Education� by Craig M. Mullaney.

Like “In the Sanctuary of Outcasts,� it is a first-person narrative. Mullaney recounts his time at West Point, his first taste of war in Afghanistan and his eventual return stateside to a teaching post at the U.S. Naval Academy. Unlike the other first-person selection, it focuses less on community and more on the individual, asking what it means to be a man.

Spring recruitment under way With the start of the spring semester, Greek organizations are preparing for spring recruitment.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council held its Greek Forum last night, while the Interfraternity Council has an open bidding process and spring recruitment for the Panhellenic Council is uncommon.

BY ERIC BENNETT ericbennet@go.olemiss.edu

Few Greek organizations participate in formal spring recruitment. However, all three Greek councils on campus do have some sort of process for conducting recruitment during the spring.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council is the only Greek council that holds an official spring recruitment. This process, called “intake,” occurs each semester but is held on a chapterby-chapter basis.

“Spring intake for NPHC groups is probably the most prevalent out of the three councils,” said J. Coulter Ward, assistant dean of students for student involvement.

The Greek Forum, which is a requirement to go through intake, for this spring was held last night at Farley Hall.

Junior business major Lavon Hooks is interested in joining a Greek organization in the spring and attended last night’s forum.

“Being part of something bigger than myself will help me stay humble,” Hooks said.

Sophomore mathematics major Ashton Boone went to the meeting in search of information about specific Greek organizations.

“This was the first time I had heard about it. It was more about learning about all the organizations as a whole and why I should pursue one above the others and reasons I should not pursue those others,” Boone said. He also stated that he would not have time for recruitment in the fall.

After attending the forum, interested students will attend an information meeting for one of the eight organizations affiliated with NPHC. Following these informational meetings, qualified candidates will follow the membership intake process with the orientation period, induction

ceremony and education program.

One of the two other Greek councils, the Interfraternity Council, has an open bidding process throughout the year.

That is, at any time, any student can be offered a bid after meeting requirements.

“With IFC, a student really has to know the chapter well for it to be an option,” Ward said.

Hayden Horan, president of Kappa Alpha, said that his organization will not be involved in spring recruitment.

“We usually do not actively participate in spring rush because of the sizes of our fall pledge class,” Horan said. “I think spring recruitment is a

good thing because it gives the guys that didn’t rush or find the right house for them a second chance of joining a organization without waiting a whole year.”

Panhellenic Council recruitment is possible but rare, as most chapters hit their quotas during fall recruitment.

“Panhellenic spring recruitment is almost non-existent because most of our chapters, if not all, are not eligible to take members in the spring,” Ward said.

Students involved in recruitment for any of the councils must meet university requirements, as well as national and chapter requirements, to be eligible for spring recruitment.

the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs, so both teams’ success can be attributed to them.”

Raines said he wants those who aren’t familiar with lacrosse to enjoy watching the sport that John and Sarah Wheat cared about so much.

Patrick Aiello, the men’s lacrosse coach, said he hopes the players take something from the tournament.

“My expectations for the game is first and foremost that Sarah and John will be on all the players’ minds, and it will be emotional, but our team is really excited,” Aiello said.

Freshman men’s lacrosse team member Taylor Cos

thinks the tournament will help the healing process.

“We’ve already learned so much from this loss,” Cos said. “We’ve grown closer as a team, as a family, and I think this tournament will give all of us a bit of closure.”

Both the women’s and men’s teams will begin play in the tournament against Georgia Tech, and the women’s team will play a second game against Florida. The women’s games begin at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the women’s soccer field, while The men’s game will begin at 1 p.m. at the intramural fields.

According to the memorial game’s Facebook event page, “1st Annual Wheat Memorial Game,” there will be a moment of silence for the Wheats at 9:40 a.m. before the women’s first game.

However, before you throw down 30 grand or finance the car for what seems like 20 years, it would be wise to do some research, and this guide is a great start. The vehicles of 2013 are organized by class and rated on both objective (price, performance, etc.) and subjective (comfort, appearance, etc.) scores.

Crossover/SUV: Mazda CX-5 This is the first year to have an award for best crossover/SUV. The highlight of the CX-5 is its SKYACTIV technology, which includes the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine that, when put with the six-speed automatic and available all-wheel-drive, gives a fuel economy of 28 miles per gallon, making it the one of most fuel-efficient SUVs on the market.

COURTESY FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Muscle Car: Ford Mustang The Mustang returns for a third straight year on the list, and the Mustang’s 2013 styling refreshment puts it even further in the lead with a sinister front end and new LED taillights. The GT500’s

new engine is also 0.4 liters larger than the 2012. Of course, on top of that 5.8-liter DOHC V-8 is a huge, 2.3-liter supercharger that gives the GT500 662 fearinducing horsepower.

Honorable Mention: Chevrolet Camaro

Honorable Mention: Jeep Grand Cherokee

Full-Size Car: Dodge Charger The Charger is a typical American car. It delivers impressive fuel economy for a large car of 19 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, thanks to the ZF eight-speed automatic that was instituted last year and is currently only available on the V6.

Honorable Mention: Hyundai Genesis

Compact Car: Ford Focus The Focus returns for a second year because it still has the best overall package. The interior is the best in its class with quality materials and textured surfaces with seats that are both supportive and relaxing for the long haul. The direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine performs well in red light situations and performs well at the pump with up to 40 mpg.

Honorable Mention: Hyundai Elantra

Sports Car: Mazda Miata If I could, I would give this award to both the Mazda Miata and Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ. They both do without frilly technology such as adaptive suspension or climate control and replace them with a feeling of man and machine being one.

The FR-S has the edge in power with 200 horsepower from its flat four-cylinder, compared to the Miata’s 167. But as great as both cars are, the Miata gets the title again because of a more attractive interior, and you can put its top down.

Honorable Mention: Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ

Mid-Size Car: Ford Fusion The midsize car segment is the highest-selling segment in the industry and, therefore, the most competitive. The exterior design is by far the most attractive in its segment

with Aston Martin-esque design cues. The attractiveness continues inside, where Ford used quality materials and soft, supple leather on the seats and steering wheel.

Honorable Mention: Nissan Altima

Ole Miss snapped a five-game losing streak with an 88-81 win against Florida this past Thursday before suffering a 72-57 loss to in-state rival Mississippi State on Sunday. The Lady Rebels (8-12, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) return home to play the Arkansas Razorbacks (14-6, 2-5 SEC) tonight at 7 p.m. at Tad Smith Coliseum. This is the first of two matchups with the Razorbacks this year, with the return meeting in Fayetteville, Ark., in the last game of the season.

Head coach Brett Frank said he knows the Lady Rebels have to be prepared for the Razorbacks.

“Arkansas is a well-coached team, they’re competitive every year, and they have some bigtime, quality wins already this season,” Frank said. “It’s just one of those games, like almost every game in the SEC — you have to come, you have to be prepared, you have to know their personnel.”

Arkansas was ranked earlier this month, staying in the polls for two weeks and peaking at No. 23. However, two straight losses to Auburn and Texas A&M knocked them out of the rankings.

games in SEC play. Senior point guard Sarah Watkins and junior forward Keira Peak, who average 12.2 and 11 points, respectively, lead the Razorbacks in scoring this season. Peak is also second on the team in rebounds, averaging 6.2 per game, while senior forward Quistelle Williams leads the team with 6.9 rebounds per game.

“The better (Watkins) plays, the better they play,” Frank said. “It will be a huge task for us to be able to contain her and be able to slow her.”

Three players are averaging more than 11 points per game for the Lady Rebels. Sophomore forward Tia Faleru leads the way, averaging 11.9 points per game, followed by junior point guard Valencia McFarland and junior guard Diara Moore, who average 11.7 and 11.2 points per game, respectively. Faleru also leads the Lady Rebels in rebounding with 4.6 per game, and McFarland is second on the team with 4.3 rebounds per game.

bounds per game. But neither should play the entire 40 minutes, and both have had issues with foul trouble.

The two have fouled out a combined five times (Buckner 3, Holloway 2) and average a combined 5.8 fouls per game (Buckner 3.2, Holloway 2.6) this season. The longer they can stay out of foul trouble and on the court, the better Ole Miss will be.

But somebody will have to replace Jones’ 17 minutes per game.

Kennedy has not ruled out junior Demarco Cox, who has been injured two different times this season and hasn’t played since Dec. 23.

Parrish Alford of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported Wednesday that Kennedy said that Cox has been cleared for conditioning.

So, Ole Miss will likely rely on two freshmen to step up in the frontcourt. Terry Brutus has played just 47 minutes all season, but he is the only healthy forward on the bench.

Anthony Perez, who is 6-foot-9, will also be called upon to play in the frontcourt.

Perez has played 115 minutes this season, but the majority of those minutes have been at guard.

Perez could fill a role that plagued Ole Miss when they played Kentucky. Kyle Wiltjer, a forward for the Wildcats, scored 26 points and knocked down five 3-pointers.

Perez can knock down the perimeter shot and made a key three in the come-

back win over Vanderbilt.

He may be able to pose a matchup problem for teams as a forward who can stretch the floor and knock down shots.

Another option for Ole Miss will be to use four guards, but Williams’ injury makes that more difficult. Expect freshman guard Martavious Newby to see more action on the court, as he will be the first wing player off the bench while Williams is sidelined.

Newby has seen 122 minutes this season, and he has been described as an animal on the defensive end by his teammates.

Sophomore guard LaDarius White has been hot as of late, and he will have to continue to be a scoring threat, having scored a combined 39 points in the last two games.

The positions shouldn’t determine who plays. Ole Miss should play its best, most productive players.

Kennedy will have to mix and match the rotation to figure out how to win games. It may be his most crucial task in his time at Ole Miss, as this year’s team remains in position to make the NCAA Tournament.

If junior guard Marshall Henderson is to get the opportunity to shine on the big stage in March, if Holloway, Buckner and Williams are to end their careers with an NCAA tournament appearance and if Kennedy is to make the dance for the first time in his head coaching career, some inexperienced freshmen are going to have step up and make plays.

bad at recruiting. Everyone is good at it, and it gets a little tougher this week. We’re certainly in on the right guys.

We’ve just got to find a way to hopefully close on a good number of them.”

Two prospects that many are keeping their eyes on are the unanimous No. 1-rated overall player Robert Nkemdiche, a defensive end from Loganville, Ga., and Laremy Tunsil, the unanimous No. 1-rated offensive tackle from Lake City, Fla. Both have Ole Miss among their top schools.

Batesville native and South Panola defensive back Antonio Conner, the No. 2-rated safety in the country according to ESPN, has shown high interest in the Rebels.

Freeze has also had some assistance from players who have already committed to

the Rebels and believes that commitments recruiting prospects is helpful in the recruiting process.

“I think any time you get kids that have that personality, and you get one that is a really good player and has a great personality that people want to be drawn to it helps,” Freeze said. “It’s no question that I think that is one of the things that has been very successful and got us to this point.

“Some of the kids that came with us early on have really been loyal and stayed strong and continued to help us recruit.”

Ole Miss has one more weekend to host recruits before they make their decisions next week.

According to Scout.com, the Rebels are scheduled to have three players in town or their respective official visits, including four-star offensive tackle Christian Morris, threestar offensive guard Wilson Bell and three-star junior college defensive end Jarran Reed.

Jones out for the season; who steps up for Ole Miss?

Sophomore forward Aaron Jones will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, while senior guard Nick Williams is out indefinitely with a foot injury, according to reports from several media outlets. Both players suffered their respective injuries in Tuesday’s loss to Kentucky. The Daily Mississippian basketball beat writer Tyler Bischoff looks at where the Rebels go from here.

BY TYLER BISCHOFF tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu

The way Ole Miss responds to Tuesday night’s 87-74 loss to Kentucky will define the season.

Ole Miss could lose more than its first SEC game. Several media outlets reported Wednesday that sophomore forward Aaron Jones is out for the season after sustaining a torn ACL in Tuesday’s loss to Kentucky, while senior guard Nick Williams is out indefinitely with a foot injury.

With Jones out for the remainder of the season, the Rebels face a massive task to find some depth in the frontcourt.

Senior forwards Reggie Buckner and Murphy Holloway have been critical for Ole Miss, combining for nearly 25 points and 18 reSee HOOPS, PAGE 11

Freeze talks National Signing Day Ole Miss football head coach Hugh Freeze spoke with the media Tuesday night during halftime of the men’s basketball game versus Kentucky to talk about his first full season of recruiting in the SEC that ends with National Signing Day on Feb. 6.

BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu

With National Signing Day quickly approaching, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze is on track to having arguably one

a 7-6 record this past season, including a win in the BBVA Compass Bowl, Freeze said recruiting has been easier after establishing a body of work.

“I don’t think we would be sitting here talking about the class we’re hoping to bring in without the momentum that was created by the end of the season,” Freeze said. “Winning the Egg Bowl and being competitive in the big games against Alabama, LSU, and Texas A&M, then going and winning the bowl game certainly gave some credibility to our message to recruits.”

Ole Miss currently has the 11th ranked recruiting class according to Rivals.com, but could easily jump into the top 10 with many undecided bigname targets on the board.

With less than a week to go before signing day (Feb. 6), Freeze believes he and his staff must stay consistent with what they have done so far to help boost the class.

“We’ve got to stay consistent,” he said. “With this conference, there is no one who is
