Ben Wiley Payton (pictured on the right) played original blues music inspired by Mississippi greats such as Robert Johnson and John Hurt.

Payton shared the stage with guitarist Watermelon Slim and University of Mississippi writer-in-residence Garth Greenwell, who read from his novel “What Belongs to You.” This recording of Thacker was part of the third annual Pop Up Oxford, a lineup of events including basketball games, book signings and the Fiber Arts Festival, all intended to celebrate the town’s “rich cultural scene.” The next Thacker will be Jan. 31 at Off Square Books and feature Chris Cander, Kevin Gordon and Schaefer Llana.

Some Ole Miss students struggle Proposed Title IX updates draw student, to afford health center costs faculty concern DANIEL PAYNE

THEDMNEWS@GMAIL.COM

Kennedy Frain is afraid of going to the doctor, but it isn’t a procedure that scares her — it’s the cost.

Frain, a junior studying elementary education and recreation administration, said that her finances get in the way of healthcare. She is able to attend the university through Pell Grants and the Ole Miss Opportunity scholarship, which cover her tuition and living expenses, but there is no allotment for healthcare. When Frain got a stomach virus freshman year, she had to weigh her finances against her health.

“I went to the (on-campus) health center, and I had to ask them, ‘How much is this going to cost?’” she said.

Upon hearing the answer, she decided to take her chances without treatment.

Frain said she is thankful for a good immune system, but she

Many of the students and faculty in attendance at an open forum on Title IX last night in Bryant Hall disagreed with the Trump administration’s proposed changes to the law. Rebels Against Sexual Assault hosted the discussion with Title IX coordinators and invited students to share their thoughts on the possible changes.

include narrowing the definition of sexual harassment, allowing each party to designate a personal adviser who would cross examine the other party and disallowing university Title IX offices from handling sexual assault that occur off campus.

Fifty percent of sexual assault cases that the University of Mississippi’s Title IX office handles occur off campus, according to Title IX coordinator Honey Ussery.

Speakers encouraged those in attendance to leave comments on the Title IX page of Regulations. gov, a website that offers citizens a space to share their opinions on possible changes to law. They also showcased the webpages handsoffix.org, and actionnetwork.org.

Other changes to the law include mandating that schools’ Title IX offices must have more

While scouring social media in recent weeks regarding various events that have occured, from the Gillette commercial to the government shutdown, one thing became clear: perspective is key.

The latest video that has garnered mass media attention was of an incident between a group of high school students wearing

“MAGA” hats and a Native American veteran. Reactions from various major media outlets were based on leftwinged sources siding with the veteran, right-winged sources siding with the group of high school students and libertarians alleging the cameras were too close to capture the entire situation.

My point is not to argue who was right or wrong, but to show the simplicity of how an event may be blown into multiple perspectives. The broad number of sources that I follow across the political spectrum allows me to see multiple lenses of the same situation.

Why does this matter?

Compared to the event which may have garnered a few hundred people in person, millions of individuals online either watched the videos, read the headlines or argued in the comment

sections of timelines that are individualized and tailored to them through an algorithm.

What am I saying? Various social media platforms are set up with algorithms that are manipulated based on reactions: who you associate with, the page you like or follow, but most importantly, your social profile. This social profile, which sometimes follows you across the internet, is your assumed demographic.

Research from the 2014 Media Psychology Journal found that people were more likely to click and interact with media correlated to their political ideas rather than of differing opinions.

This creates a domino effect shaping your “social profile” and creates an echo chamber in millions of people’s lives.

An echo chamber is like a bubble in which people embrace beliefs that coincide

Am I arguing that algorithms are inherently wrong and could be a tool of manipulation? No, simply because these corporations may have missions or ideologies but have to make a profit to encourage further use of platforms, or they will not survive.

HEALTH CENTER

continued from page 1 and Student Aetna are the only insurance providers accepted as in-network. Students who have out-of-network policies may have to pay 25-to-50 percent more than students with in-network plans, though differences vary widely between plans.

In 2016, the student health center accepted more insurance policies in-network than it does currently.

Lindsay Fournier, a junior studying biology and chemistry, was surprised by the change in policy when she was told the health center would not accept her insurance when she was sick last spring. In previous visits, her insurance was accepted, and there was no fee for her care.

Even with “pretty decent insurance,” she was not covered in network at the student health center in full, she said. She went to Urgent Care instead, where she was charged $95 for bloodwork and medication because the deductible had not yet been met.

“For students that are uninsured, we are probably the best deal they have,” University Health Services Director Dr. Travis Yates said. “There is nowhere else in town they can go without a provider fee.”

Without a provider fee, students can be seen for free, but charges for tests, medications and supplies are added to their bursar accounts.

“If a student were to say ‘Dr. Yates, I have no money, and you need to try to get me out of here

as cheaply as you can,’ I will try to get them out of here with no testing if we can,” Yates said.

Though lab testing is not always needed, voluntarily bypassing it can make diagnoses less accurate. The student and physician must come to a consensus on what is financially and medically possible to treat a symptom.

“Are we funded to the degree that we need? No, we’re not,” Yates said, adding that the student health center never sees students as a financial reimbursement source. “But that isn’t meant to be negative toward our administration.

They give us as much financial support as they have available through our budgetary process.”

The total operating expenses for the university last year totaled $597 million, with approximately $2.9 million of that spent on student health services.

The student health center is not the only underfunded service for student health on campus. The University Counseling Center, which includes clinical services, outreach programs and laboratory training for graduate students, is funded with about $761,000 per year.

“If we were appropriately staffed and had money for our expanding training program, we would probably need a little over twice as much money as we currently receive,” Dr. Bud Edwards, the director of the center, said.

The University Counseling Center is not currently accredited by the International Association of Counseling Services, like counseling centers at half

of SEC schools. According to accreditation standards, the university would need 13 people on staff in the center for student counseling. It currently has seven counseling staff members.

Edwards said the university is “pretty close to the bottom” of the SEC in terms of funding the center.

Because of underfunding, the students who seek clinical services may not receive treatment or may have a long waiting period unless they are at a point of crisis.

“It’s an uncomfortable place for a provider to be. You don’t like to think you can’t be helpful to someone that has come and said ‘I need some help.’ That’s an uncomfortable place to be,” Edwards said. “But it’s a reality that we have to try to live with and address as best as we can year-in and year-out.”

Edwards explained that, like many other departments, the counseling center faced underfunding in a time when the student body was growing faster than the university infrastructure could.

Though it will not be enough for accreditation, the counseling center has received funding that will affect mental health on campus. The provost has approved funding for two temporary staff members to accommodate increased demand on clinical services.

“I think the university administration sees us as a priority,” Edwards said.

According to Edwards, the administration has been responsive to his requests for funding and staff.

continued from page 1 than one investigator for each case, granting pauses in Title IX investigations for criminal investigations and preventing Title IX offices from handling stalking and relationship violence cases.

Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion Kristen Dellinger said Title IX provisions have changed drastically since the initial implementation of the original guidelines. Dellinger has taught on campus since 1998 and has served as the dean of the Department of Sociology

and Anthropology for 11 years.

She accepted the associate dean position this past summer.

Title IX was originally signed into law under President Nixon in 1972 as a part of the Education Amendments Act, and was modified by the Department of Education in a 2011 letter, referred to as the Dear Colleague Letter.

“I was here before (there was a Title IX coordinator on campus) and it is dramatically different to have that kind of very clear resource for students, for faculty,” Dellinger said. “I feel that this current model has made a tremendous difference in the ability for people to get help.”

What films, stars will have a chance at this year’s Oscars?

KASSIDY DESNOYER

THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM

Roll out the red carpet because award season is finally here.

The Academy unveiled this year’s Oscar nominations on Tuesday morning with “The Favourite” and “Roma” taking the lead with a tie of 10 nominations each. Both films will compete for the best picture, best director and best screenplay categories.

Alongside the two powerhouse films, the best picture category holds other blockbusters — “BlacKkKlansman,” “Green Book,” “A Star is Born,” “Vice,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Black Panther.”

Marvel’s “Black Panther” made history as the first superhero movie to be nominated for best picture, and production designer Hannah Beachler is the first African American to be nominated for best production design.

Bradley Cooper’s directing debut and singer-songwriter Lady Gaga’s acting debut paved the way for “A Star is Born,” receiving eight nominations from the Academy. “Vice” also received eight nominations, followed by “Black Panther” with seven and “BlacKkKlansman” with six. “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Greenbook” finish the front-runners, each receiving five nominations.

There isn’t a clear shoo-in for best picture as each topped box office records, and they are all fan-favorites. “Bohemian Rhapsody” took home the Golden Globe for best picture, while “Roma” was named the best film of 2018 at the Critics’ Choice Awards and took home more awards than any other film from the last year. It is also the first Netflix film to be nominated for an academy award. Best Film could really be anybody’s game.

Many are excited to see the runoff for best actress between Glenn Close (“The Wife”) and Lady Gaga (“A Star is Born”). While Close won the Golden Globe equivalent, The Critics’ Choice Awards ended in a tie for Best Actress with Gaga and Close sharing the spotlight. Since this was Gaga’s first appearance in a major film, it is a huge honor to be nominated alongside of such notable actresses.

Yalitza Aparicio (“Roma”), Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”) and Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”) were also nominated for Best Actress.

Many believe Emily Blunt was snubbed from this nomination for her performance in “Mary Poppins Returns.”

Speaking of major snubs, Cooper, unfortunately, must sit out of the running for Best Director for his work on “A Star is Born.”

Although this is his directing debut, many were surprised to not see Cooper’s name, since he was nominated for Best Director at both the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards.

Meanwhile, Spike Lee finally earned a nomination for Best Director for his work on “BlacKkKlansman” more than 30 years after his directing debut. In 2016, Lee received his first Oscar award, an honorary Academy Award. Considering his extensive repertoire of considerable works — such as “Do the Right Thing” and “Malcolm X” — his recognition for the directing category has been long overdue.

In the directing category, Lee is joined by Paweł Pawlikowski (“Cold War”), Yorgos Lanthimos (“The Favourite”), Alfonso Cuarón (“Roma”) and Adam McKay (“Vice”).

Always a bloodbath category, this year’s Best Actor race is no exception. The five men nominated — Christian Bale (“Vice”), Cooper, Willem Dafoe (“At Eternity’s Gate”),

Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Viggo Mortensen (“Green Book”) — each had phenomenal performances, embodying their respective characters.

The fan favorite seems to be Rami Malek for his performance as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury (he took home the Golden Globe). However, Bale,

who won the Critics’ Choice Award and made a shocking transformation to Dick Cheney in “Vice,” also has a shot at the title. Mortensen’s performance would also not be a surprising choice by the Academy.

The 91st Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, Feb. 24, and will air live on ABC at 7 p.m.

CST.

catchy beats, “7 rings” isn’t quiet about its rap influences.

While “Sweetener” was a tribute to love, “7 rings” is a tribute to self-love, but specifically self-love by treating yourself.

It’s no secret the pop sensation is incredibly wealthy; according to INSIDER the 25-year-old singer is worth $50 million. Whether or not you have $50 million or $5, you can still enjoy this party beat by Grande.

As a college student, it’s not possible to relate to Grande’s financial situation, but as someone who loves catchy music, a lot of bass, and hiphop, Grande’s new sound in this song is too good to not enjoy even if you can’t afford

diamond rings for all your besties. Grande even shows off her rapping ability in the song which was something unexpected from the pop-princess, but her bold risk paid off.

It didn’t take long for the internet to start listening to Grande’s new hit, and it received a lot of praise as well as controversy. In particular, the line, “You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it,” became a meme on Twitter among both fans and critics of Grande. The line drew special ire because of a controversial Instagram story, in which Grande reposted a fan comment: “white women talking about their weaves is how we’re gonna solve racism.”

Ariana Grande sheds her pop star persona in her new single, “7 rings.” Grande’s newest hit along with its music video — which is already raking in millions of views — was released on Friday.

Grande has become one of the most talked-about artists in the world after the release of her latest album, “Sweetener,” which focused on love and relationships, even including a song called “pete davidson” as a dedication to the singer’s ex-fiance. Grande’s sudden split with Davidson led to the release of her latest hit, “thank u, next,” a song that focuses on the importance of past relationships and self-love. Grande has wasted no time putting out new music as she ended 2018 with “thank u, next” and started 2019 with “7 rings.”

Grande will always face some controversy when releasing a new project, and the internet quickly began comparing “7 rings” to Soulja Boy’s 2010 hit, “Pretty Boy Swag,” arguing that the singer copied Soulja Boy because their vocal delivery sounds similar.

Soulja Boy even addressed Grande in a series of tweets, making claims that she stole his song. Grande has yet to respond to Soulja Boy’s comments, leaving the internet wondering how serious his accusations were.

While I’m not sure if a pop star at the top of her game like Grande would need to steal music from Soulja Boy, I do know that when I listened to the song for the first time, I immediately noticed her use of the tune from “My Favorite Things” by Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music.” Grande began her career on Broadway, so the fact that she took a modern spin on a timeless song and managed to make it into her own was clever and well-executed.

I’m looking forward to Grande’s newest album after listening to the singles “thank u, next” and “7 rings.” It was refreshing to hear “7 rings” because Grande decided to write about her success and herself instead of focusing on her past relationships that have been getting so much attention.

Between the heartbreaking death of Mac Miller and her split with Davidson, Grande is taking time to focus on herself and it’s reflected in her music.

I’m expecting Grande’s new album to be full of fun-loving party hits such as “thank u, next” and “7 rings” as well as an underlying message of female empowerment. Even though she is constantly putting out new music, Grande has yet to disappoint. I’m excited to see how her album as a whole compares to her wildly successful singles.

After what head coach Kermit Davis referred to as “an old fashion kicking” following a 74-53 defeat on the road at the hands of Alabama, the No. 20 Rebels, 14-4 (4-2), aim to rebound versus No. 24 Iowa State in the Big 12/SEC challenge on Saturday.

This series has been dominated by the Big 12, which boasts a 3-1-1 record, since it was established in the 201314 season. The Rebels are 0-5 in this annual battle between two of the top conferences in college hoops but will seek to put a halt to that slide in an 11 a.m. tip-off inside The Pavilion.

Ole Miss hopes to put an unsatisfactory performance in the rearview mirror after scoring a season low 53 points on the road against Alabama.

“I didn’t see any emotion,” Kermit Davis said following Tuesday’s loss in Tuscaloosa.

“I would have loved to see it.”

The stars for Ole Miss, Breein Tyree and Terence Davis, could not get into a rhythm offensively their last time out against the Crimson Tide. Terence Davis went just 3-for-7 from the floor scoring 10 points. It was an uncharacteristic outing for the senior, who is averaging 15.8 points per game. Terence Davis’ frustration boiled over after a missed three early in

of four Cyclones who enter Saturday’s contest scoring in double-digits. The other Cyclone of note in this group is forward Michael Jacobson.

The 6-foot-9-inch forward is putting up 13.1 points while also leading the team in rebounds with 6.4 boards per game.

“Iowa State may be the best offensive team in college basketball with the way they shoot threes and play,” Kermit Davis said. “It is going to be one heck of a matchup and we will have to be at our very best. We will have a quick turnaround, and our guys will pick their heads back up.”

This matchup marks the first time The Pavilion will host a top-25 clash. Ole Miss hopes to bolster its already staunch resume with another high caliber non-conference win as March slowly creeps into the frame.

ONE NATIONAL CBB THOUGHT After three months of NCAA hoops, it’s apparent that there is no true king of college basketball; yet. In 12 weeks of AP rankings, only four teams (Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas and Tennessee) have held the crown, with Duke controlling the top spot five separate times.

All of these top teams have demonstrable flaws, however, which makes the chase for the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament all the more interesting.

Throughout Mark Few’s tenure at Gonzaga, the Zags have been lulled into submission during conference play, often entering the tournament unprepared to compete with the caliber of competition requisite to win a national championship.

Duke also has an outstanding starting five that features top NBA draft prospects Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish.

However, Duke’s production has fallen with their starting point guard Tre Jones out with an injury.

Since Kansas lost Udoka Azubuike for the season to injury

they’re only 7-3, with bad losses to Arizona State and West Virginia.

Tennessee, on the other hand, suffered their only loss of the season to a healthy Kansas team, but has struggled of late against Vanderbilt and Alabama.

It’s clear that Tennessee (currently ranked No. 1) is playing the best basketball in the country.

They have two legitimate national Player of the Year candidates in Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield and a litany of auxiliary guys who can take over any game on their own.

THREE OLE MISS THINGS The Devontae Shuler injury situation is teetering on becoming untenable. Shuler’s stress reaction in his foot hasn’t kept him off the floor yet, but he came from the bench against Arkansas and played limited minutes versus Alabama.

If Kermit Davis can get meaningful minutes out of Shuler on Saturday vs. Iowa State, it seems logical that he should receive a few games off in the following weeks. There is no scenario in which Ole Miss has any chance of making noise in the postseason if Shuler is shelved, and with winna-

ble games in the near future, the Rebels could survive the dog days of SEC play if it means Shuler is healthier come conference tournament time.

Where in the world is Blake Hinson? After dropping a career-high 26 points against Mississippi State in Ole Miss’ most important road win of the season to date, Hinson has averaged an abysmal 4.3 PPG on 26 percent from the field in the last three games. Kermit Davis isn’t expecting 20 a night from Hinson by any means, but after showing that he can indeed fill up the box, he certainly expects more than what Hinson has showed of late.

After opening conference play with the best game of his career, dropping 31 against Vanderbilt, Breein Tyree has cooled off recently. In the Rebels’ last five SEC games, Tyree is averaging four points less than his season average while shooting just 25 percent from three on nearly five attempts per game. In losses this season, Tyree only averages 13 points per game and nearly four turnovers.

ONE LOOK AHEAD Now, despite a 14-4 record

Ole Miss forward Bruce Stevens dribbles the ball around Arkansas forward Reggie Chaney last week. The Rebels will face Iowa State at home this Saturday. and top-20 national ranking, the Rebels sit in their most vulnerable position since their early season loss to Cincinnati. After suffering two immeasurably bad losses to LSU and Alabama, a loss Saturday to Iowa State could send the program into a vast tailspin. Both of Ole Miss’ signature wins—Auburn and Mississippi State—are looking weaker by the day as both teams are likely to fall out of the national rankings in next week’s poll.

A loss to Iowa State would make three losses in the last four games for the Rebels, but a win would likely reconcile the prior two losses with the national media. Most bracketologists have the Rebels slated anywhere from a 7-10 seed right now, but with a stretch of monumental games on the ledger, Ole Miss has a golden opportunity to increase its position—or leave the conversation altogether.
