Sisterhood and service: Ole Miss Greeks helping abroad by Bridgette Quinn bequinn@go.olemiss.edu
Two Greek organizations extended their philanthropic influence to affect change in local communities across the globe over winter break this year. Five active members of The University of Mississippi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma women’s fraternity, which partnered with Feed The Hunger, did missionary work with churches and schools in Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh. Sarah Douglass, co-leader of the trip and junior KKG member, described the scope of the work. She said the group spread the word of God in orphanages in Kolkata, the red light districts, Mother Teresa’s Home for the Dying and other areas. “This trip gave us a chance to see first hand how much our philanthropy work truly benefits others. It was an incredible experience,” Douglass said. In the past, KKG has done mission work in Kenya and Haiti, but this marked its first
year working in Asia. “If I could give one piece of advice, it would be to get out there, get your hands dirty and help someone out,” Douglass said. “You never know what affect you’ll have on a person, but one thing always happens at the end of these trips. You go in thinking you are going to help them, then you come back changed for the better and helped by these incredible people who have nothing but have given you everything.” Members of Alpha Omicron Pi women’s fraternity at Ole Miss stayed in Oxford but partnered with Christian Relief Fund to drill a well in Barwessa, Kenya, to give the community access to clean water. “This region has over 500 people and has never had clean water,” junior AOPi Kelsey Litzelfelner said. “They would have to walk over six miles daily to obtain water.” Litzelfelner said the people of Barwessa were ecstatic to discover that their community produced a water supply. “The people of Barwessa are

calling it a miracle,” Litzelfelner said. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Brandi Hephner LaBanc said this type of work aligns with the mission of the university, and she said the uni-
versity loves to see its students engage in these types of services. “It is wonderful that the organizations are offering these global learning opportunities,” said Dr. Hephner LaBanc. “If
students have an opportunity, I think it is the most transformational thing they can do. It makes people reflect a great deal on what blessings we really have.”
Nutrition department Opposed Housing Complex on hosts cooking classes Anderson Road By Chekarey Hailey cnhailey@go.olemiss.edu
The University of Mississippi Nutrition Clinic is offering cooking classes as a way to extend teaching beyond the classroom. “The classes are taught by a registered dietician. Everyone will learn how to prepare simple meals that don’t take all day or cost a fortune,” said Dr. Janie Cole, director of the nutrition clinic. Instructors in the nutrition department said they are hoping the classes will encourage

students to get active by understanding the balance of food groups and that eating healthy is fun and simple. “We’re also teaching food and safety tips, a healthier way to do things and how to do them,” Cole said. With limited food choices on campus, members of the department said they are hoping to give students some variety. “I think it’s a great idea that the nutrition department is offering cooking classes.

The Oxford Planning Commission and residents of Anderson Road have rejected a new student housing development called Aspen Heights due to rezoning issues and personal concerns of its residents. York Breckenridge GP, LLC requested permission from the city to rezone from Agricultural District and Single Family Residential District to Two Unit Residential District. This would rezone a

total of 49.2 acres of land, allowing room for 235 units in this area. “The Planning Commission felt that the applicant had not met the required proof and therefore recommended denial of the request,” Oxford City Planner Tim Akers said. To rezone property in Mississippi, an applicant must prove that there was a mistake in the original zoning, that the character of the neighborhood has changed and that there is a public need for rezoning, according to Akers.
Resident Annette Lee is one of more than 30 residents to sign a petition banning Aspen Heights in her neighborhood. “I’ve lived here for over forty years and built my home here,” she said. “We are a residential neighborhood and this kind of project does not belong here.” Lee said placing another student housing project in her neighborhood would add to existing problems in the area. “We already have water See HOUSING, PAGE 4

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who hates when people decide to speak on behalf of a group – voluntarily. This unfortunately seems to happen a lot with men and men who think they embody the voice of the whole group. I’m mainly writing this in response to a disgusting and erroneous article I read the other day explaining why women with short hair are undateable and that men preferred women with longer hair. All men prefer women with longer hair is what the article claimed, as if the male writer had performed some type of study or poll to base his article on. T H E D A I LY

The writer of the article had the nerve to assert that women with short hair are damaged. Apparently all men think that women with short hair are damaged. The author tried to correlate two things that have absolutely nothing to do with each other – hair length and personality – and pretended that this information is well known. By whom? I had never heard of such theories. It was, of course, based on his personal experiences with women, many of whom were just crazy (if we’re to believe his article), and he was the one attracted to them. I believe the most disturbing part of his article was the comment section that was crowded with males who came to his defense and disgruntled women who, for good reason, were offended by his article. The author did apparently

speak on behalf of the illogical, and probably single, men that came to his aid. Many of the men disagreed entirely with him. I’ve noticed this recent trend on the Internet where usually single men tell their potential mates what qualities they need in order to date these eligible bachelors. I’m willing to bet that these outspoken and critical gentleman tend to remain single after speaking of what women should do to attract men in 2014. One person’s opinion cannot account for the whole of the group, unless maybe the group is some type of organization or foundation (even this can be untrue in certain situations). I would hope that anyone with intelligence wouldn’t speak on behalf of a group with such unfounded, uncorrelated ideas. In regard

Because it’s close to Valentine’s Day and my newly-reactivated Facebook has newly reactivated the tiny misanthropic man who lives on my shoulder: We all have annoying Facebook friends who think anyone cares that they went to the gym, or that they feel about Obama or that they need extra lives in Candy Crush.* Facebook behavior can reveal a lot about a person and totally affect how you decide to behave toward them. From wishing them well when their
avis pop up on your timeline on their birthdays, or to resisting (or not resisting) the urge to post links to Education Connection on their grammar- and logic-free posts. Probably though, ladies, regardless of all the irritating habits of these individuals who populate your friend list, you’ll end up offering the best view of your birth canal to the most attractive one of these people, eventually. It’s life. It’s science. It happens... usually when you’re on a break from school and you’re lonely because you’ve realized everyone with whom you’ve graduated is probably more interested in cooking meth with their newborns during their free time than hanging out with you. Anyway, before you give it up to a Facebook friend in a
fit of boredom or totally unbridled passion — which is a super thin line, let the liquor tell it — please consider these particular warning signs that might appear on your paramour’s Facebook page before you tap into your inner Trey Songz and dive in: 1) Education history claims he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - For one, I can assure you that he’s most likely a filthy Muggle like the rest of us, and if he isn’t, he’s totally broken the International Statute of Secrecy, and snitches aren’t good lovers, either. Secondly, don’t believe the guy who has this on his profile and then has the nerve to bemoan his childhood ending when the last Harry Potter movie came out. This would imply some sort of metamorphosis into a
mature, functioning adult... and the removal of a Facebook joke he’s had on his profile since the 8th grade. Gotta look out for consistency, y’all. This is strongly-cast Lumos! on a young man with the sense of humor of a fourteen-yearold boy, who secretly idolizes Severus Snape, and is probably just as moody, obsessive and greasy. Always, indeed. 2) His profile picture is an anime character - ... speaking of fourteenyear-old boys. Everything I have to say here is basically the same as what I’ve said for item number one, except exchange all Harry Potter references with My Little Pony ones. 3) Claims that he’s fluent in the language of sarcasm - This only implies that not only is he arrogant, he is ar-
rogant about his jokes, which I can assure you are all the worst things you’ve heard before – and trust me, you’ve heard them before. They will probably include (but aren’t even close to being limited to) unapologetically misogynistic comments. He’s the type of person who thinks he can still get away with the Ledasha joke. Who thinks Macklemore deserved his Grammys. A Das Racist fan. Like the tragic hero of the type of novel Daniel Tosh would write, except even sadder. Sarcasm is not equal to wit, friends. Here’s hoping you take these warning signs to heart. *Please send me extra lives on Candy Crush. Sierra Mannie is a junior classics major from Ridgeland.

We should all do a little beliebing
By Phil McCausland dmmanaging@gmail.com
Oh boy! What’s it say about the state of music when Justin Bieber is living the most rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle of anyone creating music today? First he’s egging mansions, then he’s blocking roadways to drag race? Yesterday, he turned himself in to the Toronto police for assaulting a limousine driver, and who comes to his defense but crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford. This dude’s more rock ‘n’ roll than any of the members of Arcade Fire. Hey, Arcade Fire, where’s your Woodstock ‘99 at? Oh,
you guys just wear colorful jackets and weird glasses and play accordians? That’s pretty interesting, I guess. No, wait. It’s not. You guys think having an odd haircut makes you rock ‘n’ roll. Man, Bieber is more Fred Durst than Arcade Fire will ever be. Actually, he’s more Fred Durst than Fred Durst because Bieber’s day-to-day is Woodstock ‘99. And isn’t that what we want? Don’t we want our celebrities to live lives that we are too rational to live? And now we want to deport the guy, just when it’s getting interesting? A petition that supports Justin Bieber’s deportation back to Canada
reached 100,000 signatures yesterday, which means that the White House has to respond to it. Likely, the White House will take its time, since this is probably the least important item on their agenda. But can’t we just give Bieber a slap on the back for some interesting antics? We didn’t threaten to deport Led Zeppelin after the mudshark incident, and that event makes Justin Bieber look like an inoccent, naive child. I just think we should put this in the perspective of music history. Another example, 26 years ago, Nikki Sixx died of a heroin overdose and then was brought back to life by a

Fourth Annual Oxford Fiber Arts Festival by Sara E. Baker sebaker@go.olemiss.edu
As any student or local can tell you, art is a vital part of the Oxford culture. This town is the proud home of galleries, exhibitions and festivals celebrating artists both near and far for their works. This weekend, Oxford will honor lovers of knitting and fiber arts. Tonight the Powerhouse will begin hosting the Fourth Annual Oxford Fiber Arts Festival, led by Knit1 Oxford. The event will continue through Feb. 2, and all are welcome. General admission is only $1. “We’re very excited. This is our fourth annual festival, and we are ready for all of the events,” Patsy Engelhard of Knit1 Oxford said. The festival will include workshops for beginners and professionals, lectures on the art form and children’s events. Local and traveling vendors will gather together to learn and share their
passion. Some vendors are coming from as far as Cat Springs, Texas. “It’s very exciting,” Engelhard said, “because many of the things the vendors are selling you can’t find in stores.” Following a reception at 5:30 p.m., the festival will present “Knitting through the Ages” by Lee Waltress of Pontotoc. Wine and snacks will be provided along with door prizes. The festival is not just for adults, however. Saturday, the festival will provide activities for the whole family and pets. The small classes range in topics from tatting to dye, and many are available for both expert and inexperienced knitters. Even children are invited to learn. “We have classes for people who knit all the time and for people who have never held a needle,” Engelhard explained. The fiber arts community is also excited to give back to those in need. “Share the Warmth” blan-
kets will be raffled at the festival. Each square in these blankets have been created by volunteers and later seamed together. In the past, the proceeds from Share the Warmth have gone to Oxford and Lafayette County schools, the Boys & Girls Club and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council (YAC). This year, the knitting community has chosen Doors of Hope Transition Ministries to receive the donations. Doors of Hope is a non-profit organization that supports transitional families in Lafayette County. They provide mentoring, life-skills training and housing in order to teach self-reliance and stability to those in need. When asked why Doors of Hope was chosen this year, Engelhard said, “The reason is simple: we love their mission, and we’re delighted to support them. They are a great organization, doing great work in our community.” With this in mind, the knitting

that this year is “our fourth and best ever!” Workshops for this weekend are available for sign-up online at the Knit1 Oxford website, www. knit1oxford.com.

OLE MISS SPORTS INFORMATION
Ole Miss set to host Jacksonville State This Saturday is the perfect opportunity to come to campus before the basketball game and check out the No. 35 nationally ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team (21) square off against Jacksonville State (1-0) at 10 a.m. at the Gillom Sports Center. All fans will receive a free collectable poster of Ole Miss senior Caroline Rohde-Moe, and one lucky fan will receive a gift card for correctly guessing the ending time of doubles play. “We are looking forward to playing at home again,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “Hopefully a lot of fans will come over to the Gillom center before the men’s basketball game. We learned a lot about this team over the weekend, and we need these matches to continue to get better and prepare ourselves for the SEC season.” The Rebels are coming off an impressive 4-0 shutout of William & Mary at the ITA Kick-Off Weekend last Sunday. They won the doubles point, with the No. 19 ranked duo of Caroline Rohde-Moe/
Marija Milutinovic winning 6-2, and Julia Jones/Zalina Khairudinova winning 6-0. Singles winners included Khairudinova (6-1, 6-1), Mai El Kamash (6-0, 6-1) and Milutinovic (6-0, 6-1). The Rebels also earned wins in all first sets of the unfinished matches. The Gamecocks finished last season with a 15-11 record, and just recently won their opening match against 2013 NAIA Championship runner-up, William Carey University, 7-0. Following the match on Saturday, Ole Miss will take a break and return to action in Oxford on Friday, February 21, with a doubleheader against Lipscomb and Tennessee State.
Marija Milutinovic hits the ball during an NCAA college tennis match.

Ole Miss looks to rebound against South Carolina By Tyler Bischoff tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu
Coming off its first blowout loss of the season, Ole Miss will host South Carolina on Saturday in hopes of returning to the win column in Southeastern Conference play. Ole Miss (14-6, 5-2 SEC) is coming off of its worst performance of the season, while South Carolina (8-12, 1-6 SEC) just played its best game and won its first SEC game of the season in a 80-52 victory over Texas A&M on the road. The last time the Rebels and Gamecocks played was Jan. 18, where Ole Miss escaped with a 75-74 win on the road. “That was a battle in Columbia in our first (game) where we won by one point,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “It’s always difficult to beat a team twice, especially in a two or three week period.” Sophomore forward Anthony Perez had his best career game against South Carolina, as he scored 22 points on 5 of 9 shooting and made 10 of 12 free throws. Ole Miss got 19 points apiece from their leading scorers, senior guard Marshall Henderson and junior guard Jarvis Summers, as well. Sindarius Thornwell led South Carolina with 24 points on 7 of
16 shooting, but Ole Miss held the Gamecocks to 37 percent shooting from the field and 29 percent shooting from three. But the most recent results for both teams suggests that South Carolina’s shooting will be improved. In its blowout win over Texas A&M, South Carolina shot 52 percent from the field and 40 percent on threes while the Ole Miss defense got steamrolled by Tennessee, as the Volunteers shot 49 percent and 55 percent on threes. South Carolina got production from its three starting guards, as Thornwell, Duane Notice and Brenton Williams combined for 56 points on just 27 shots. Notice and Williams combined for 13 points on 2 of 15 shooting when they last played Ole Miss; Williams was 0 for 10 from the field. South Carolina’s RPI sits at 128, according to WarrenNolan.com. Ole Miss is 11-1 against teams outside the top 100, and the RPI for Ole Miss is at 57. South Carolina is 3-9 against the top 100. South Carolina and Ole Miss sit atop the SEC in three-point percentage, as both teams knock down 37.2 percent of shots beyond the arc. In the last matchup, the two teams combined to shoot 73 free
throws. South Carolina leads the SEC in opponent free throw attempts, allowing 30.9 per game; Ole Miss allows 23.8. Ole Miss got pounded on the boards 45-27 at Tennessee, as the Volunteers are second in the SEC in offensive rebounding percentage, grabbing 41.9 percent of their own misses. South Carolina is third in the conference at 37.2 percent. In the first matchup, South Carolina grabbed 43.9 percent of their own missed shots and outrebounded Ole Miss 40-31. The game will tip off at 12:30 p.m. from Tad Smith Coliseum on Saturday and will be broadcasted on SEC TV. Students looking to go to Saturday’s game as well as men’s basketball games later in the season can now purchase a student ticket for $15 from the Ole Miss ticket office. Students can still get in free for basketball games, but only 1,600 students are allowed for each game. Purchasing a ticket will guarantee students a reserved seat and take away the hassle of waiting in line to get into the game.
