Abandoned bike policy to give back to students BY JACOB BATTE thedmnews@gmail.com
MEGHAN LITTEN | The Daily Mississippian
Senior international studies student Robert Wilson refurbishes an abandoned bicycle collected by UPD. The bicycles will go to students through the Bike Give Back program.
Every day there are students at the University of Mississippi in need of a bicycle. They can be seen at any bus stop, left behind by a full bus; sitting in their car stuck in traffic, waiting for a parking spot to empty; covered from head to toe in sweat from having to walk all over campus. In a coordinated effort between the Associated Student Body, the Office of Campus Sustainability and the University Police Department, some of those students’ wishes will be fulfilled. Chancellor Dan Jones approved UPD’s abandoned bike policy earlier this month, completing efforts already started by the ASB and Sustainability Office earlier in the year. “This fall we had over 30 students apply to receive a bike through the Office of Campus Sustainability and the ASB’s Bike Give Back program,” said Meghan Litten, intern with the Office of Campus Sustainability.
“We had originally planned to distribute these bikes last semester, but we wanted to provide all students with a bike who applied.” After refurbishing bikes during the fall semester and winter break, the program is ready to begin giving out the bikes over the next month to students who do not own any form of transportation, Litten said. An abandoned bike is defined as one that is “in a state of disrepair as to be incapable of being operated in its present condition, appears to have been left in the same location for an extended period of time and bears physical indication of having been deserted,” and/or one that “is considered improperly parked for an extended period of time.” Once the bicycle has been collected by UPD, the owner of the bike is given 14 days to contact UPD. If the bike is not claimed, it is passed along to the Bike Give Back program, which then refurbishes the bike. “This policy is important because we do not want our campus
to look like we have abandoned bikes,” UPD Captain Michael Harmon said. “By removing abandoned bikes from campus we are not only helping maintain the beauty of the campus, but also we are deterring theft.” Bike Give Back is an extension of Rebel Pedals, a bike rental program under the Office of Campus Sustainability. Jim Morrison, director of the Office of Campus Sustainability and Office of Strategic Planning, said the office supports biking on campus because it is healthy for both the student population and the environment. “Creating a positive bike culture on campus is important to the university,” he said. Students are encouraged to register their bikes so UPD will have a way to get in touch with students whose bikes are picked up. Registration is free for all students through UM Parking Services.

Law students provide free tax returns for low-income residents BY JENNIFER NASSAR jennifernassar2@gmail.com
The Pro-Bono Initiative at the University of Mississippi Robert C. Khayat Law Center will provide free tax assistance to lowincome residents of Lafayette County this tax season through the Free Assisted Self-Service Tax (FAST) program. FAST offers services to those who have a household income less than $57,000. Emily James, FAST coordinator and third-year law student from Greenville, S.C., took an interest in a program like this while working with the School of Law Civil Legal Clinic. After working with low-income taxpayers, James realized a need for tax assistance. “I worked with taxpayers through North Mississippi Rural Legal Services,” she said. “There is such a large need for tax help in the area.” Eager to do more, James met with law professor and Pro-Bono Initiative director Deborah Bell in August to discuss starting the program. A group of about 15 law students began the certification process earlier this month, which included online examination with the IRS and two additional training sessions given by Bell, Richard Gershon, Dean of the school of law, and professor Donna Davis.
“I hope that once people are aware of the services being offered, they will take advantage of the program,” Davis said. ”The students have worked so hard and are well prepared.” James describes the experience as very rewarding for the students because of the privilege of serving those in need. “I think that we all get that out of it,” she said. “Not just with the taxes or practicing interviewing skills, but also the fact that you are helping people.” Lafayette County taxpayers are equally benefited, as they have an opportunity to saving both time and money. “Tax preparation can be difficult, and mistakes can be costly and time-consuming to the taxpayer,” Bell said. Taxpayers entitled to a refund will be able to keep all of it because they do not have to pay a service fee, according to Bell. James said FAST is off to a great start, having served at least seven taxpayers in just over a week into tax season. “We think that’s a lot considering that most people don’t have their W-2s yet,” she said. Arman Miri, a second-year law student from Clinton said he has hopes of an increasing number of services come mid-February, “especially when word gets around and more people get their W-2s in

the mail. “The numbers can go in any range, but hopefully we’ll get at least one hundred,” Miri said. FAST is hoping to make this an annual event, and as for the law students, there is talk of turning the program into a skills course for next year. “One of our professors is going to take it over and we can get class credit for it,” James said. “Especially since we have a lot
of students who are interested in participating.” Local charities and businesses, including United Way, MetroCast and the Lafayette County and Oxford Public Library, have shown support for the program. Eligible taxpayers interested in the program must provide all income documents, Social Security numbers for themselves, spouses and dependents claimed, prior year adjusted gross income,
a bank routing number (or cancelled check) and an account number for direct deposit. Services are being offered at the Lafayette County and Oxford Public Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. until the end of tax season on April 17. They will also be available on two Saturdays, Jan. 28 and Feb. 4. On Feb. 4, FAST will be at the Housing Authority Administration office in Oxford.

THURSDAY FACE-OFF
Each Thursday, The DM pits one columnist against another. This week we focus on what Phil Bryant will do for Mississippi
Gov. Bryant not good for the future of Mississippi
BY JAY NOGAMI jaynog11@ gmail.com
Phil Bryant is the last thing Mississippi needs in an ever-evolving world. Gov. Bryant has worked from within the government of Mississippi for more than two decades. Bryant is a man fully entrenched in the dredge that is modern government. He has little perspective on what life is like for everyday people, and his early planned policies already show his lack of perspective. Foremost is Bryant’s suggested action to help Mississippi’s failing education system. During his recent State of the State speech, Bryant gave some focus to his so-called education reform. Bryant has proposed a performance-based pay scale for teachers throughout the state of Mississippi. A performance-based system seems like a great idea, but implementation of such a program is very tricky. First and foremost, an incentivebased program creates greater gaps between the best performing and
worst performing schools. Rewarding teachers for hightailing it to Madison County so they can get their pay raise instead of actually trying to help those that need the best teachers will not create a better Mississippi. Additionally, this idea of performance-based budgeting can easily be pushed onto the funding of each individual school district. High performance schools have a much lower need for additional funding than schools that are struggling to advance their students through elementary and middle school. Funding and pay should be based on which districts truly need funding and better teachers to give young Mississippians a chance to live their lives. Bryant also proposed a plan that would allow failing high school students an opportunity to enroll at local community colleges for workforce training. Rather than focus on building a successful school system that allows young Mississippians to succeed,
Bryant is admitting that the school system is a failure and that he wants to place a band-aid over it. If you have a weed, is the best fix to cut off the very tips of the leaves? Of course not. You want to pull out the root so the weed doesn’t grow back. Bryant’s idea of taking high school students who are failing and offering them an alternative will do nothing to fix the education system. Mississippi needs a governor who has ideals that are based in creating change, not just making minor fixes. Bryant was also lieutenant governor under former Gov. Barbour from 2007 until his election. Bryant has promised to focus on job creation during his term in office. And given Barbour’s take on job creation, this is what we can expect: deals with special interests, offering tax cuts to large corporations to come in and hurt small businesses and encouraging a state of corporate welfare. It makes sense that in a time when large corpo-
rations aren’t hiring, that we should encourage more of them to come to Mississippi. If Bryant wants to create jobs, he should take a different path from Barbour, who did little to create jobs during and since the recession that started in 2007. To have higher-paying, better-living jobs, Mississippi needs to train a workforce that can attract jobs in quickly growing fields. Mississippi needs a workforce that is well educated, and one that can live in the 21st century. Entrepreneurship should be encouraged, rather than corporate takeover. Bryant is not what Mississippi needs, but he is what Mississippi has. Now is the time to let the governor know what is best for his state because it is clear that he doesn’t have a solid understanding.

Phil Bryant brings experience, vision to the mansion
BY TRENTON WINFORD tgwinford@ bellsouth.net
In 1990, Phil Bryant was elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives from the 59th District, becoming the first Republican ever elected from that district. In 2011, he was elected governor of the state of Mississippi. Bryant easily swept the 2011 election, as many expected, which many credit to the familiarity of his name. He has previously served as Haley Barbour’s second lieutenant governor, state auditor for 11 years under three separate governors and the aforementioned position in the state House. With around 20 years of political experience under his belt, his critics often refer to him as a “career politician,” which carries an extremely negative connotation among much of America’s voting base. However, detractors were unable to convince 61 percent of Mississippi voters that Bryant was not best for
Mississippi. Why couldn’t they? Well, because he is what is best for Mississippi. Bryant brought experience that other candidates were lacking, but most importantly, Bryant had a vision for Mississippi that no other candidate had. Speaking to an overflow crowd in Founder’s Square at the Neshoba County Fair, Bryant explained his vision for Mississippi. “The very first day in Mississippi Legislature, we passed a business incentive that brought companies to Mississippi — the very first day,” Bryant said. “That is the lieutenant governor I have been, and that is the type of governor I will hopefully continue to be ... we are going to reach out to advanced manufacturing ... the medical industry; we are going to push hard, and I am talking about one thousand
new physicians in the field by 2025 ... we are going to have career schools ... I know where we can be.” In a matter of minutes, Bryant roughly outlined where he wants to see Mississippi and how he is going to work to get us there. He mentioned previous successful business ventures, such as GE Aviation and Southern Power, bringing jobs, revenue and notoriety to Mississippi, which was made possible by Barbour and his work. He mentions future tasks, both short term and long term, which will raise Mississippi up from the bottom of the rankings through business, medicine and education; tasks he believes are viable and necessary for Mississippians. In order for Bryant to be able to achieve what he has outlined, he needs the help of the Mississippi Legislature and citizens. Fortunately for him, the Republican Party gained control of

the Mississippi House for the first time since Reconstruction. Even though the Mississippi Democratic and Mississippi Republican parties are ideologically closer than most two party systems, there is still enough difference for partisanship to halt the political process. With Republican control of the governor’s mansion, Mississippi Senate and now the Mississippi House, Mississippi can truly move forward with a focus on business, medicine and education, which are the foundations of our society. Mississippi has been moving in the right direction, and we will continue to do so under the leadership of Phil Bryant, the 64th governor of the state of Mississippi. Trenton Winford is a sophomore public policy leadership major from Madison.

Letter to the Editor Throughout the day, there is a promotion aired on Rebel Radio that hails Oxford as the “quintessential college town,” a statement that’s hard to argue with. Part of having a great college town is having a thriving arts scene, which we have. A thriving arts scene is supported in one way by the radio station that anchors the campus. Unfortunately, Rebel Radio fails at promoting Oxford as the “quintessential college town” and fails to help Ole Miss craft a level of originality that separates us from the rest. After all, how can we be the “quintessen-

tial college town” if we are like everyone else? My problem lies with the current programming and its lack of thought and sincerity. It focuses too much on Top-40 music and ignores a great deal of independent music that is both relevant and exceptionally good. Oxford thrives on its uniqueness; it’s a town like no other. But having the college radio station air what’s standard practice for any FM station in a metropolitan seems misplaced and uncharacteristic of the rest of this community. I am not advocating that the
station abandon its Top-40 programming all together. It is important but it does not need to dominate the airwaves. By dedicating some time to independent artists, Rebel Radio could be on the forefront of broadcasting new and exciting music in a region lacking of such. Perhaps investing some time in this music that fits perfectly in a college town like ours would be worthwhile, and better reflective of what this town is, instead of what this town isn’t.

The University of Mississippi campus is going green and new research has been made in the form of hydrogen-powered vehicles in another effort to improve the initiative. Led by Jason Ritchie, an associate chemistry professor, graduate and undergraduate students have been researching the effectiveness of fuel cells, which convert hydrogen, the most abundant element on Earth, and oxygen into electricity. Some companies may be “green-washing,” Ritchie said, in order to portray themselves as more environmentally friendly in the eyes of consumers because, due to production costs, the vehicles themselves are not financially beneficial. The most costly piece of production, Ritchie said, is the plati-
num needed to create a fuel cell, so most fuel cell research is dedicated to reducing costs by either eliminating platinum or finding a way to make it less expensive. Junior chemistry major Darryl Hickman is optimistic about researching with Ritchie next semester. “It’d be the future of all forms of travel,” he said. Despite these new developments, Ritchie said hydrogen fuel cell research has been around since the gasoline crisis of the ‘70s. Though there seems to be potential with research into hydrogen fuel cells, some are not as optimistic. Sophomore political science major Joshua Broome said he believes it is unlikely hydrogen fuel cell technology will ever take off. “It will never work,” he said. “They may find other ways to
replace gasoline, but they’re just beating a dead horse with this hydrogen stuff. They need to stop wasting our tax dollars on this garbage, and put it where it counts.” Ritchie has a different outlook on this technology. “Hydrogen is the fuel of the future and always will be,” he said. Honda has become one of the leaders in this movement with its creation and distribution of fuel cell-powered vehicles throughout Japan and parts of Southern California. Drivers will refuel at designated hydrogen stations far from residential areas or road traffic, filling their hydrogen tanks up to 5,000 pounds per square inch or PSI. The Honda Fuel Cell Experiment (FCX) Clarity features cars that do not use gasoline, according to Honda’s website. “Hydrogen is stored in a tank onboard the vehicle,” according to Honda’s website. “Inside the groundbreaking new fuel cell stack developed by Honda, fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity. The vehicle is then propelled by a smooth and quiet electric motor. This remarkable system generates enough power to drive the car without emitting harmful pollutants, leaving only clean water vapor behind.” The vehicle, which gets 60 miles per gallon, is not yet available for purchase. It currently costs millions of dollars, too expensive for most consumers, but Honda has been leasing them for $60 per month. Unlike a gasoline engine, a hydrogen fuel cell has no firing pistons and cannot wear itself out. Other automotive companies have also begun producing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including GM and Mercedes. Apple has even patented fuel cell technology in order to become more energy efficient and build smaller, lighter power sources for their portable devices.

Rebel Netters set to open season today BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@olemiss.edu
The No. 23 Rebel Netters take to the courts today to open its dual match season against Southern Miss, looking to building on their success from this past season. Doubles play will begin at 1:30 p.m. followed by singles matches at the Gillom Sports Center. The team kicked off the spring season in the SEC Indoor Championships earlier this month and had a strong showing. The senior twin duo of Marcel Thiemann and Chris Thiemann won the doubles title, while freshman Nik Scholtz and junior Jonas Lutjen advanced to the semifinals in the singles competition. Another freshman, William Kallberg, made a run to the quarterfinals, highlighted by knocking off the top seed and nation’s No. 3 ranked player in the third round. Head coach Billy Chadwick is excited about what his team is bringing to the table this season, especially the Thiemanns, who finished last season ranked No. 11 in doubles in the nation. “They are seniors, and they have had a great career here at Ole Miss,” he said. “They’ve been on an SEC championship team that won both the overall championship as well as the SEC tournament. So, they know what it means to compete in this league.” The Thiemanns are the only seniors on the team. However, the Rebels have quite the incoming freshman class, headlined by Scholtz and Kallberg. Prior to coming to Ole Miss, Scholtz was the top-ranked player in his native South Africa in 18-under competition. He also earned a No. 5 ranking in the ITA Newcomers National Rankings at the start of the season. “Nik Scholtz is really one of the top players in the country,” Chadwick said. “He had to sit out last year. And, during that time, he really focused on the weight room,
and it has paid big dividends. He is one of the top players in the conference and in the country no question.” Alongside Scholtz is Kallberg, a native of Sweden, who was ranked among the top juniors in Sweden before arriving at Ole Miss. “Kallberg came in this January and he had a great tournament at the SEC Indoor,” Chadwick said. “He had a big-time win against the No. 3 ranked player in the nation, so there is a lot of potential there. We are very excited he is part of our program.” Although many new faces will take the court for the Rebels this season, there are still many veterans who will be in action led by sophomore Johan Backstrom, junior Jonas Lutjen and junior Adrian Forberg Skogeng. Despite a talented line-up, the competition will not be easy for the Rebels this year with three teams ranked in the top 10 in the country.

Women’s hoops looks to bounce back at South Carolina tonight BY JAKE THOMPSON jcthomps@olemiss.edu
After having what could best be described as a disappointing week with home losses to Mississippi State and Georgia, the Ole Miss women’s basketball team (12-8, 2-5 SEC) looks to turn things around starting this Thursday when the team travels to South Carolina (15-5, 4-3) tonight. The Rebels will try to get their offense going again after being held under 50 points and 30 percent shooting each of the last two games. Senior forward Nikki Byrd averages a double-double for the season at 13.5 points per game and 10 rebounds per game, while sophomore guard Valencia McFarland leads the team in scoring (13.7 ppg). Freshman Tia Faleru recorded her first career double-double with ca-
reer highs of 13 points and 10 rebounds. Head coach Renee Ladner is also looking for others to step up. “Everybody is looking at everyone else and just waiting for them to make a play,” Ladner said after Sunday’s game against Georgia. South Carolina split last week’s games with a home loss to Auburn and a road win against Vanderbilt in Nash-
ville. The Lady Gamecoks are led by senior guards Markeshia Grant (9.6 ppg) and La’Keisha Sutton (9.2 ppg). Freshman forward Aleighsa Welch leads the team in rebounding with 125 for the season. As a team, South Carolina averages 61.2 points per game while holding opponents to just 48 points per game, Tip-off from Columbia, S.C., is set for 6 p.m. and will be televised on FSN and ESPN3.

Rebels put undefeated home record on the line against No. 13 Florida BY DAVID HENSON dahenson@olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss men’s basketball team will look to take down its second ranked opponent in two weeks, as the 13th-ranked Florida Gators visit Oxford to take on the Rebels tonight. Ole Miss (13-6, 3-2 SEC) is coming off back-toback wins over Mississippi State and Georgia this past week. This season, the Rebels have defended their home court at the Tad Smith Coliseum with a perfect 8-0 record. After a 67-56 loss to Tennessee in its Southeastern Conference opener, Florida (154, 3-1 SEC) has rattled off three straight wins. However, the Gators are also just 1-4 on the road this season.
Florida features five players averaging double figures in scoring for the season. Junior guard Kenny Boynton leads the team in scoring (18.3 ppg) and is joined in the Gators’ backcourt by freshman guard Bradley Beal (14.1 ppg) and senior guard Erving Walker (12.9 ppg). In the frontcourt, sophomore Patric Young averages 11.2 points per game and a team-leading 6.9 rebounds per game while junior forward Erik Murphy averages 10.6 points per game. Ole Miss will need another strong defensive effort tonight as the Gators rank among the nation’s leaders in scoring (82.2 ppg), assists (16.6 apg) and field goal percentage (48 percent). The Rebels will look to use their size
advantage, especially on the glass where the team leads the conference and ranks 15th in the nation in rebounds per game. On offense, Ole Miss has shot 50 percent from the field in each of their past two games and will look to continue their hot shooting tonight. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2. The Rebels hope to see a similar turnout as they did last week in their upset win over Mississippi State. “We feed off of the crowd,” said Ole Miss guard Jelan Kendrick after the Mississippi State game. “The fans really came out for the Mississippi State game and made a difference. The crowd was loud and amazing and it helped keep us going and to come out of the game with a victory.”
