UM to be well represented in Teach For America BY JACOB BATTE thedmnews@gmail.com
PHILLIP WALLER | The Daily Mississippian
Senior Taylor McGraw works with a student during a trip sponsored by Mississippi First. McGraw has accepted an offer to work for Teach For America and will serve in New York.
As education continues to be a hot topic in debates around the country, four University of Mississippi students will do what they can to improve low-budget schools in struggling areas for the next two academic years. Mary Alex Street, Caleb Herod, Cortez Moss and Taylor McGraw have each been offered and accepted positions with the 2012 Teach For America Corps (TFA). Street, who was crowned Miss Ole Miss this past semester, mentioned how her experiences growing up in various public schools in Mississippi spurred her interest in public education. Street attended public high school in both Jackson and Oxford. “When I was a senior I was able to look back and recognize how unfair it was,” Street said. “Just because these kids live within a certain Jackson zipcode means that they have to go to a really terrible public school whereas every kid in Oxford gets an incredible public school experience.”
Street said she heard about TFA through friends and family then applied for a TFA internship as a recruiter at Ole Miss. Moss became interested in TFA during his internship with Mississippi First. “I think what interested me most in the program was its interest and drive to educate kids in poverty and help them understand that there is also a way out,” he said. “I feel like in so many ways that I had an obligation to give back to the state of Mississippi.” Herod, Associated Student Body chief of staff, said he had seen older friends apply and thought it would help prepare for life after college. The interview process for TFA is a rigorous one, with an online application followed by an interview process, which was held at Rhodes College. This process includes a one-on-one interview and a group interview, with separate activities included along each step of the way. Moss said the toughest part of See TEACH, PAGE 5
Ole Miss accountancy program rises in rankings BY KATHRYN WINTER kathryn.winter2011@gmail.com
The undergraduate accountancy program at the University of Mississippi was recently ranked No. 10 in the nation among public universities by the Public Accounting Report. The Patterson School of Accountancy was also ranked No. 11 for its master’s degree program and no. 12 its the doctoral program. Ole Miss was not the only SEC school to slide up in the ranks, as Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee are also in the top 30; however, Ole Miss was the only one to slide into the top 10. Dean Mark Wilder said the new ranking will help recruit students and faculty in the coming years. “We’ve been nationallyranked seven years in a row — this is the highest ranking we’ve ever received,” he said. “Our undergraduate program, our master’s program and our Ph.D. program have the highest rankings we’ve ever had.” Ole Miss has been one of the first 40 accounting programs in the country to receive separate accounting accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business

(AACSB), which Wilder said has given the program prominence. Another factor that has contributed to the program’s rise through the rankings can be attributed to the largest accounting library in the world, which is housed at the university. The National Library Accounting Profession has been housed in the J.D. Williams Library for the past 10 years. “I don’t know if there is any one thing that we’ve been doing differently,” Wilder said.
“We’ve had tradition for a long, long time, being studentcentered and being very teaching-oriented. Four of the schools’ faculty memebers have won the highest teaching award given at Ole Miss, the LCM Hood Outstanding Teacher Award. Justin Wallace, from Byrum, Miss., is a graduate student earning his master’s in accountancy. “I definitely feel prepared for after graduation,” he said. “One of the great things about our program is we have an in-
ternship program built in to the curriculum, and last spring I interned in Dallas, Texas, at an accounting firm there.” Wallace, who was offered a job at the same firm, said having a job secured before graduation relieves a lot of the pressure students face as they prepare to walk in the Grove for the last time as a student. “Almost all of my friends in the accounting program have jobs to go to whenever they’re finished with their degree,” he said. With the recent upgrade in
rankings and the graduate success, Wilder said the faculty at the Patterson School of Accountancy is in great shape. “A couple of our faculty have published in the number one academic accounting journal,” Wilder said. “It seems like over the past few years, the world and the country has learned what we knew all along – that we have a top notch accounting program here, and then we’ve built upon that with some of the successes of our See ACCOUNTING, PAGE 4

Where’d the last six weeks go? Welcome back!
BY CAIN MADDEN dmeditor@gmail. com
So, this is the new year? Well, sort of — I guess I’m a few weeks off on that. It is the problem of being out of commission for a long six weeks of winter break. I haven’t once skipped a class, a meal or a chance to hang out with friends to cover an event on campus. I rarely set double or even triple alarms because I didn’t have to worry about sleeping through a class for which I had stayed up late doing homework because I had worked until midnight putting out the paper. I even got a chance to hook up my Xbox 360, which I never got around to doing in the fall semester. All of that is about to change. My Xbox will get dusty, alarms will be set in multiple locations to make sure I get up and my roommates will forget what I look like and wonder why I’m paying rent. Heck, if they would install a shower in the Student Media Center, I’d move
in. And all of that is not a complaint. I never set a New Year’s resolution, but if I can be late on that, I hope to be a better editor-in-chief and student this semester. We missed a lot over the break, and we’ll do what we can to catch y’all up. But what we are really looking forward to is uncovering new things, reporting on big events and going out as strong as we can. We are probably among the most stressed out and criticized students on campus, but we really wouldn’t want it any other way. Contrary to a popular saying, words do hurt, but you don’t last all that long in journalism without tough skin, so we welcome it. We’re in a unique position not open to many students. You don’t often take chemicals produced by pharmacy students, you don’t often drive over a bridge built by engineering students
and you are not often operated on by a group of surgical students. Yet, you do get to read a newspaper every weekday written, designed and edited entirely by students. You can also point out every mistake we make, which gives us a great advantage. First, we become better at what we do every day for you. Secondly, it really helps us, too. Students who work in the S. Gale Denley Student Media Center have already learned so many lessons the hard way that people normally don’t learn until they graduate, thus we have a great advantage when it comes to getting jobs, even if it is not in journalism. There are future lawyers, teachers, politicians, engineers and many other professions working here, too. That’s why I extend an invitation to anyone to come look us up and work here. You’ll help improve both the pa-

per and yourself. And even if you don’t have time to work here, I hope you’ll read and let us know how you feel about stories on our website, Facebook and Twitter. I hope you’ll point out what we are doing wrong, or what we can do better. I also hope you will tell us about stories we’re not writing that you think we should cover. While we do our best to be tuned into what is going on at Ole Miss, we spend a lot of time going to class, stuck in the Student Media Center and some of us even give up sleep to have social lives. The Daily Mississippian would be a million times better if it could benefit from ideas from the entire Ole Miss community, instead of what a group of student editors dream up mostly in a vacuum.

Well, it’s a new year and a new semester, and for me, apparently, a new addiction, and I’m not sure that I’m all that happy about it. Over Christmas break, a friend of mine introduced me to an app on my phone that has taken precedence in my life over things such as food (smiling about that one), interaction with family and friends of the verbal variety, responding positively to my husband when he shouts, “Is there no food in the house?,” and even participating in family outings. The line “You guys go ahead, I have work here at home to do,” will only work so many times. In fact, to be totally truthful, I had to kneel to my enslavement before writing this article. The monkey on my back is called Words with Friends. I play it in the mornings, throughout the day, at night and even in my sleep as my brain randomly selects
letters, especially X, Y and Z, to form the most archaic and off-thewall words as it can to impress and pulverize the friends I consistently play with. And it seems that I’m not alone. After doing a bit of research on this newfound plague, I discovered that 1.6 million people play the game daily. That’s a lot of yin and yang, and depending on where on the game board you place them, a heck of a lot of points. I try to assuage my guilty conscience by reminding it that even celebrities are addicted. Just look at Alec Baldwin: he was booted off a plane because of the game. Poor Alec, non-players just don’t understand. Or how about the woman who was playing with the Australian couple and helped to save the lady’s husband through the chat feature of the game by relating symptoms to her doctor husband, who in turn strongly recommended he get to the ER and probably saved the man’s life. Turns out he had a 99 percent blockage near his heart. Not that I foresee myself saving anyone’s life, but it is a thought. For those of you out there who are much stronger than me and

UM using sound to find land mines BY MEREDITH FULLER mrfuller@olemiss.edu
A team of researchers at the University of Missisippi has been developing a technology that could be used in the battlefield. Craig Hickey and Slava Anarchic, along with their team, have discovered a way to almost unmistakably find land mines buried in the ground. Hickey and Anarchic use large speakers and place them on the ground to vibrate the soil at a nanometer’s wavelength. The team simultaneously uses a device called a multibeam laser Doppler vibromoter, which has 12 high-tech beams that scan the ground and transmit how slowly or quickly the ground
vibrates, according to Hickey. Hickey and Anarchic are researchers at the National Center for Physical Acoustics on the Ole Miss campus. Hickey is the interim associate director for applied research and research associate professor for geological engineering and physics. Anarchic is a senior researcher that perfects the lasers, and according to him, these lasers have several different uses. “These lasers can save lives, detect enemies and distinguish friend from foe,” he said. This laser technology can distinguish a United States tank from one that could be an enemy. This is because different vehicle’s engines vibrate at different frequencies. The reason this technology
can find the land mines with a 99 percent accuracy is because of what the land mines are made of, according to Hickey. The land mines are basically plastic and because the contents inside the plastic case are metal and vibrate at a much higher frequency than the ground around them, the lasers then can pick this change up very quickly. “This technology it not yet perfected to be on the battlefield, but once it is, it will be a major step forward for the U.S. and the war in the Middle East,” Hickey said. The U.S. Army currently has technology that works to find land mines, but the vibromotor is much more accurate and can determine the location of the land mine much more quickly. The army will eventually attach the new technology to some sort of vehicle to travel in front of a convoy, according to Hickey. “I’m shocked, really,” senior ROTC member Taylor Coker said. “I had no idea that this was being researched. It really puts my mind at ease since there is always a possibility that I could be deployed after I graduate.” The lasers that he develops also have several other uses, including aerial frequency detection and finding the potential enemy, according to Anarchic.

faculty and so forth.“ A.J. Barrios, an accounting junior from Houston, Texas, said he most values the fact that his education is being taken very seriously. “My professors so far in the accounting school have been awesome,” he said. “They’re very available whenever you need them, helpful with homework and very resourceful. “They will pull from all sorts of websites, old books, any type of accounting material that can help you with homework or tests, and post it on Blackboard and tell you to go do it and practice it over and over again.” Barrios also said the accountancy professors are helpful when a student runs into trouble, often offering to go over what the student is struggling with. Barrios said he is excited that the school just got a great ranking because recruiters and big firms know an Ole Miss degree means more than degrees from competing schools. Accounting professor Tonya Flesher is an alumnus of the Patterson School of Accountancy and has watched its progress over the years. “This status is due to the wonderful faculty members
that we have, the outstanding students that we get and the support of our alumni from accounting firms and businesses throughout the southeast and the nation,” she said. “The main emotion I’m feeling right now is pride.” Associate professor J. Riley Shaw said he is very proud to work at Ole Miss and is proud of the students that attend and graduate with a degree in accounting. “The ranking brings about a lot of opportunities for our students,” he said. “Their abilities to get jobs is based on the reputation of the school where they’ve gotten their degree, so as we move up in the rankings, it really improves their chances of being placed.” Shaw said he believes a major reason for the success of the program is the hard work of the students and the teachers. “A lot of that goes back to the way we teach Intermediate and Accounting I and II because those classes are very rigorous, and it makes those students very strong candidates for jobs,” he said. Wallace said if he wants to switch careers or do something different in the future, that he can always fall back on his Ole Miss education. “My degree is a top-tier degree,” he said. “It’s definitely difficult, but it’s definitely worth it and definitely doable.”

the interview was how little time each candidate had to impress the people conducting the interview. Herod said he gave himself a pep talk while he was in the waiting room. He knew he needed to be himself, be honest and not fall into cliches and if that didn’t work, life goes on. After the interview process, Herod said the toughest part was playing the waiting game. “I had seen some really amazing people, people I consider much more suited for TFA than I not get it in the past and was thinking, ‘If they didn’t get it, I might not,’” he said. Herod was in a communications law class when he received the news about his offer. He recalls letting out a “high pitched shriek” of excitement, but he said he played it cool when a classmate looked back at him. Moss said he was extremely happy and excited. “It was something that I had really wanted to do, it was all that I wanted to do after I graduate,” he said. “I felt like I reached a goal and found a job simultaneously.” When applicants are applying for TFA, they are given the opportunity to rank the regions that they would like to teach in. Street, Moss and Herod all ranked the Mississippi Delta as their number one choice and will teach in the region for the next two years, while ASB President McGraw will travel northeast to teach in New York City. Moss described why he ranked the Mississippi Delta as the number one region on his list. “This is a unique opportunity for Ole Miss alumni to really impact a region of our state,” he said. Herod said he would have considered himself a liar had he said he wanted to help education and then left his own state to do so. “It just would’ve seemed ridiculous for me to say I want to help improve education and then ignore my state where we have this huge gulf in quality of education in areas like the Delta,” Herod
said. Street, Moss and Herod each feel that they bring something different to the Delta. Street said she believes she’ll bring a positive energy. “It’s just somebody with a positive attitude that pushes these kids to live up to a high expectation and encourage them that they can do what may not have been expected of them before, which is to score high on their tests, which is basically to get into college,” Street said. Herod said he is going to be honest and very demanding of his students. “One of my favorite teachers in high school, Mrs. Logan, was that way,” he said. “She kept everybody in line by being honest with us about what we would achieve during the year, where we would be if we didn’t reach the goals she had set and demanding excellence from us every time we walked into the classroom. I’m going to try to teach them to give the effort she made us give to her.” Every applicant who accepts an offer with the 2012 TFA Corps attends a two month training process known as ‘Institute’ during the summer before they begin teaching. Because TFA recruits from students beyond education majors, not every applicant is properly educated in the ways of classroom management. “The classes are on how to manage a classroom, how to best
discipline students, how to best engage students,” Street said. That is not the only challenge that the new teachers will face as the schools they will work for are often under-privilidged schools. Moss said he believes he is prepared for the challenges ahead of him. “I’ve kind of been used to being put into difficult situations,” he said. “I think not only having been put in those situations but that I come from such a program that has taught me the art of leadership.” Moss also credited his ability to understand the situations that the students are in as well as a curiosity for the region in which he will be teach as helping him. Herod said having parents who are both educators will help him prepare for the setbacks associated with teaching. “Being a teacher is tough, but it’s minor victories that will keep me going,” he said. “You won’t get the reward or the thanks in the moment; it may take 15 or 20 years before a kid realizes how much you cared and tried. That’s what I’ll keep in mind when it gets tough.” Street, Herod and Moss aren’t sure what exactly they will be doing after their two-year commitments, but each hopes to impact education through whatever form of occupation they choose. “My long term goal is to start a charter school,” Moss said.

After the SMU game Jan. 3, sophomore guard and leading scorer Dundrecous Nelson was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. In the affidavit of arrest, Nelson stated under oath that he “unlawfully and willfully used paraphernalia to ingest or inhale a controlled substance in violation of the Uniform Controlled Substance Law.” Freshman Jamal Jones was also present at the time. The next day, Head Coach Andy Kennedy announced that both Nelson and Jones had been dismissed from the team for a “violation of team rules.” ESPN.com’s Andy Katz reported Nelson and Jones were dismissed for failing multiple drug tests, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told him. Nelson has since transferred and enrolled at Jackson State, where he is expected to play next season.

Lady Rebels fall behind early in loss to No. 15 Georgia
QUENTIN WINSTINE | The Daily Mississippian
Freshman Tia Faleru pushes the ball up the court in Sunday’s 61-47 loss to Georgia. She recorded her first career double-double with a team-high 13 points and 10 rebounds.
BY JAKE THOMPSON jcthomps@olemiss.edu
No. 15 Georgia got off to a quick start, with a 26-0 run in the first half, leading to a 61-47 win over Ole Miss Sunday afternoon. “They were a true No. 15 team, and I think that stunned us a little bit,” head coach Renee Ladner said of Georgia. “Then we all started waiting for someone else to make a play.” The Lady Rebels (12-8, 2-5 SEC) went cold in the first half, shooting just 25.9 percent (7for-27) from the field and 0-of-8 from three-point range, as the Lady Bulldogs (16-4, 5-2 SEC) built an insurmountable lead. At one point, Ole Miss went nearly 12 minutes without making a basket. Georgia, meanwhile, shot 48.7 percent (19-for-39) from the field and 50 percent (4for-8) from three-point range. Georgia went into halftime
with a 43-15 lead and led by as many 30 points early in the second half. However, it was a tale of two halves as the Lady Rebels rallied and outscored the Lady Bulldogs 32-18 in the second half, but it was too deep of a hole to climb out of. For Georgia, junior forward Anne Marie Armstrong led the way with game high of 15 points and 11 rebounds for her first career double-double. Sophomore guard Khaalidah Miller and senior guard Meredith Mitchell also recorded double-doubles while junior forward Jasmine Hassell also finished in double figures in scoring for the Lady Bulldogs. Sophomore guard Valencia McFarland and freshman guard Tia Faleru led the Lady Rebels in scoring with 13 points each. Faleru also grabbed 10 rebounds for her first career double-double. Senior forward Nikki Byrd was held to just eight

points and six rebounds. The shooting woes continued for Ole Miss as they shot just 29.8 percent (17-for-57) from the field and 20.8 percent (5for-24) from three-point range. The Lady Rebels found some success as the free-throw line where they made eight of 13 attempts, but were unable to reach the charity stripe often enough during the game. After having their best offensive performance at Alabama the previous Sunday, in which they shot a season-best 66.7 percent from the field and scored 69 points in a win, the Rebels have hit a rut since then. “I thought we had good looks,” Ladner said. “We got a lot of shots within the paint that we didn’t finish.” The Lady Rebels return to action when they visit South Carolina on Thursday night. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports Net.

sports briefs Search for AD Officially Begins
14 Players Make Official Visits to UM
University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones formally launched the search for a new athletics director this past Friday. As with the head football coach search, the co-chairs for the search committee are Ole Miss football legend Archie Manning and FedEx executive Mike Glenn. Other members of the search committee include the current president of the Ole Miss Alumni Association, Richard Noble, two faculty members, Ron Rychlak and Ethel Young-Minor, and UMAA Foundation governing board member, Cal Mayo. Noble, Rychlak and YoungMinor also served on the search committee that recommended hiring head football coach Hugh Freeze. When Pete Boone announced he would be stepping down as athletics director in November, Jones announced Boone could remain in his current role through Dec. 31. That date has now been moved up to June 30 or earlier if a replacement is hired.
Less than two weeks from National Signing Day (Feb. 1), Ole Miss welcomed 14 high school football recruits to campus for official visits this past weekend, according to RebelGrove.com, an affiliate of Rivals.com and The Ole Miss Spirit, an affiliate of Scout.com. Among them were nine of 14 verbal commitments: QB C.J. Beathard (Franklin, Tenn./Battle Ground Academy), DT Issac Gross (Batesville/South Panola), ATH Mike Hilton (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek), RB Kenno Loyal (Decatur, Ga./Columbia), RB I’Tavius Mathers (Murfreesboro, Tenn./ Blackman), OG Ben Still (Memphis/Memphis University School), DE Temario Strong (Batesville/ South Panola), RB Jaylen Walton (Memphis/Ridgeway) and DE Channing Ward (Aberdeen). The other five recruits on campus this past weekend for official visits: CB Kentrell Brice (Ruston, La.), WR Brad Culp (Fayetteville, Ark.), CB Trae Elston (Oxford, Ala.), LB Khalid Henderson (Mableton, Ga./Pebblebrook) and LB Dean Roberts (Las Vegas, Nev./ Bishop Gorman).

This breakthrough looked to be a foregone conclusion with 1:11 left in the game as the Rebels held a 62-50 lead. The Rebels (13-6, 3-2 SEC) proceeded to miss five of their next free throws while Georgia (10-9, 1-4 SEC) scored on four straight possessions to cut the lead to 63-61 with 23 seconds left in the game. Senior forward Terrance Henry hit three big free throws down the stretch to hold off a furious 13-4 Georgia run and preserve a 66-63 win, as Georgia senior guard Gerald Robinson’s 3-point attempt in the closing seconds bounced off the rim. “At the end, we obviously want the upperclassmen to have the ball,” Kennedy said. “It’s certainly not the way that we would have drawn up finishing the game, but the bottom line is they got it done.” With the game tied at 20-20 midway through the first half, Ole Miss went on a 10-0 run while Georgia freshman guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope sat on the bench with two fouls. CaldwellPope, the Bulldogs’ leading scorer, was held to just seven points in 10 minutes of first-half play. “Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a very good player,” Kennedy said. “We wanted to make him guard because we knew how outstanding he was offensively, and it worked. He picked up two fouls and was out of the game, and that’s where we make our first-half run.” Ole Miss held a double-digit advantage for much of the second half, leading by as many as 14, before Georgia rallied in the final 1:11 of the game. Leading the
way for the Bulldogs, CaldwellPope made play after play in the second half as he shot 4-of-7 from three-point range and scored 18 of his game-high 25 points. Henry scored the team’s first nine points of the game and finished with team-high 24 points, two shy of his career high. He also pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season and just the third of his career. Junior guard Nick Williams and junior forward Murphy Holloway added 12 each, while junior forward Reginald Buckner recorded double-digit rebounds (10) for the fourth-straight game. All five starters – Henry, Williams, Holloway, Buckner and freshman guard Jarvis Summers – logged more than 30 minutes in the game, s Kennedy tightened the rotation to just eight players. “When you’re on the road and they’re all so hard to get, you tighten your rotation unless you have foul issues,” Kennedy said. “You want guys that have been through this before.” It was tale of two halves, offensively, for the Rebels. In the first half, Ole Miss outscored Georgia in the paint, 16-6, and also shot 52 percent (13-for-25) from the field and 75 percent (6-for-8) from the free throw line. In the second half, after committing just five turnovers in the first, Ole Miss turned the ball over nine times and shot just 51.9 percent (14-for-27) from the free throw line. On the defensive end, Ole Miss out-rebounded Georgia, 43-32, and held the Bulldogs to just 36.5 percent shooting from the field.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Henry got going early, scoring the team’s first nine points, and he finished the first half with 15 points. Henry scored nine points in the second half and made 5 of 8 free throws, including 3 of 4 in the final 18 seconds of the game. He recorded his first double-double of the season, the third of his career, with 24 points and 10 rebounds. QUOTE OF THE DAY: “We’ve been playing a hell of a defense. That’s our staple now. Going hard, getting after it. Holding teams under 40 percent. Guys just play hard, and that’s what we need.” – Nick Williams talking about back-to-back wins over Mississippi State and Georgia and whether or not the team has turned a corner. NEXT UP: The Rebels return home to host No. 14 Florida on Thursday night, the first of back-toback home games this week. The Gators (15-4, 3-1 SEC) defeated LSU 76-64 this past Saturday in Gainesville. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. from the Tad Smith Coliseum and will be televised on ESPN or ESPN2. Admission is free to students. Like Kennedy said post-game, if his team rebounds, defends, limits turnovers and makes some free throws, they always have a chance.
