Changes in Store for Student Housing Stockard and Martin will not be the only two residence halls to experience major changes on campus, with Kincannon and Guess halls being next on the list. BY HAWLEY MARTIN
hrmartin@go.olemiss.edu
As residence halls throughout campus continue to be built and renovated for freshmen, the next few on the list may create a few beds for upperclassmen. The University of Mississippi has made plans to demolish Guess Hall within the calendar year, but no specific dates have been confirmed, according to Assistant Director for Marketing Jennifer McClure. Guess has the capacity to house 224 students, and once it has been demolished, a new residence hall will be built. Exercise science sophomore Charles Powell said he thinks a new hall in place of Guess will be a good idea. “The building was kind of outdated, and the rooms usually had issues ranging from electrical to accessibility,” he said of his living experience in Guess. In addition to the university’s commitment to housing every freshman enrolled, the

university would like to expand its student housing to encourage more upperclassmen to live on campus. “That’s something we haven’t been able to do as much in the last few years because the freshman classes have grown, but having our sophomores and upperclassmen contribute to campus life is really important to us, so that’s something that we’re constantly looking at and constantly looking towards,”

McClure said. Kincannon Hall also underwent renovation this year and is expected to undergo more in the future. This past year, the lobby, office and vending areas in Kincannon were completely renovated and furnished, and built-in drawers were replaced in student rooms. The elevator systems have also been updated. McClure denied rumors that Kincannon will be de-
molished. “That rumor has been around for a very long time,” she said. “There are no plans to tear it down.” Although no specific plans have been made to continue renovations for Kincannon, the university is always looking for opportunities to upgrade all of the residence halls on campus. “There’s no time line or anything like that, but we’re always exploring options in all of our residence halls at all times,” she said. “We’re always talking about what can we do here, what can we do there, how can we improve this experience. So there’s nothing specific, but there are discussions about other things that may need improvement.” Gesturing to the new Ridge residence halls, freshman psychology major Stephen Flagg pointed out one of the main issues with Kincannon. “(Kincannon) itself isn’t in that bad condition, but the other dorms are much better.”

Ladies, let us think back to the last time a boy we didn’t know asked for our number and then politely called, or complimented our outfit or bought us a drink. What about the last time even a familiar acquaintance did that? Think hard about the last time it happened, if it’s ever happened, and then think about how many times it’s happened overall in the span of your young adult life. OK, now let’s think about the last time a boy texted us, “What’s up,” or, “What are you doing?” I’m going to guess the number of times a boy has asked you to casually “hang out” via text message or Facebook chat is quadruple the number of times one has

asked you out on a one-on-one date. I’m not trying to make you boys feel bad, but it’s undeniable that a cultural shift in dating has long since made its debut. For men, things have changed for the easier — for women, not so much. Cell phones and texting have made everyone instantaneously available. Communication occurs at lightning speed, but it is in half-sentences and malformed words. The fact that any person is accessible at any hour through a passive form of communication makes approaching a girl remarkably risk-free. The South still retains more tradition when it comes to dating than many parts of the country. Southern gentlemen do deserve some credit. But

still, in our parents’ days, the rules of courtship were prescribed. There were guidelines and strict processes that defined socially acceptable behaviors. Men followed these rules with the risk of being turned down, rejected or ridiculed. There was significant courage involved in deciding to woo a girl, but that was accepted as one of the unavoidable vulnerabilities necessary for life. While the casualness of dating has made it easier for men, the stakes are higher for women and harder to attain. Feminine sexuality is still directly tied to the self-worth of a woman. It is easier today for a man to bed a woman, but it is not easier for a woman to retain her reputation. Women are still demeaned for being

promiscuous and are expected to wear makeup and dress well; the pressure for women to look a certain way is a huge focal point in our society. The duality of having a career and child-rearing is still a struggle for women. This is not a pity party. I am only mentioning these aspects of being a female because these are the same problems that existed decades ago, and yet for men, masculinity has changed enormously. Sure, it’s acceptable now for women to approach men, too, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But, logically, why would a woman take the risk of approaching a man if her reputation and sexuality are at stake? Some men might say, “Hey, See CHIVALRY, PAGE 3

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, While the sensible prose of the Incident Review Committee’s “It wasn’t as bad as it sounds” report on the election night disturbances is inevitably a bit dull, I really hope that all members of this community will look at the student tweets footnoted on page 7. Among the most striking is “black girls are crying on TV because they are so happy they STILL don’t have to get jobs and government get[s] to be their baby daddy.” This tweet echoes a common conservative theme that too much debilitating government welfare goes to undeserving racial minorities who then become dependent on an African-American President’s handouts.

country than raising quite low tax rates for the rich. Race problems on this campus -- and this nation -- will not be solved until all the members of this community face up to a debate on this proposition. I believe that it is factually wrong -- for openers, a majority of welfare recipients are white -- but in any case, I urge the DM to get a vibrant discussion started. Sincerely, Peter Frost Visiting Professor of International Studies Croft Institute ***** Dear Editor, I read the DM’s coverage of the election-night report with dismay. The author does not use the words “race” or “racism.”
Yet the report notes that “The Romney coalition was composed of predominately white males,” that a “racial slur … was directed toward the predominately African-American Obama supporters” and that “From this point on, the antagonisms switched from being purely political to being racialized with the presidential election serving as a pretext for racially-charged verbal confrontations.” It reports that white students played Dixie, shouted “The South Will Rise Again,” and chanted Hotty Toddy at black students, as if to say we (whites) are the real Rebels, you (blacks) are imposters. An officer heard a racist epithet shouted from Kincannon. The report holds that the effect of the “non-riot” on students and our community was profound. It mentions

that if not for the intervention of UPD there may have been a violent confrontation between black and white students near the residence halls. Additionally, “several black students reported being afraid” and felt “vulnerable.” There were “despicable racist exchanges on Facebook.” And the “particularly egregious” twitter posts? An example cited in the report: “black girls crying on TV because they’re so happy they STILL don’t have to get jobs and government get to be their baby daddy.” And we’re talking about social media? The dominant story, if left
unchallenged, suggests a few bad apples started a non-riot that swelled due to overzealous mis-tweeters, and that the big bad international media picked up on some misreporting, casting our otherwise racially harmonious campus as backward and racist. But anyone who has been here a while knows our ongoing history of racist events. Election night was simply the latest, and it won’t be the last, especially if we miss this opportunity for real, fundamental change. Ross Haenfler Sociology and Anthropology

BOOK, continued from page 1 Ron was attending law school at Ole Miss, but the couple never paid much attention to it because they felt that they already knew a lot about Southern culture from growing up in the South. The couple moved to the Philippines after Ron rejoined the Air Force, and it was not until then that they realized how much they appreciated their native culture. The Feders eventually returned home to Mississippi, settling in Ocean Springs. After buying a second home in Oxford in 2001, the couple reached out to the conference coordinators and offered help where it was needed. The couple made a 10-year commitment to the Confer-
ence for the Book in 2002 and recently renewed for another 10 years. “Contributions like the Feders’ (allow) us to bring together a wonderful range of writers, publishers, scholars and students for three days of conversation about the written word,” said Becca Walton, conference director and associate director for projects. Conference Director Ted Ownby is also appreciative of the Feders’ gift. “This is particularly rewarding that the Feders see that the book conference is doing its job,” Ownby said. “It’s gratifying that they see the book conference as an important event for the university and an important event for Mississippi.” The Oxford Conference for the Book is in its 20th year and will be held March 2123.

CENTER, continued from page 1 self undergoing changes, but the conference center has also launched a new website and online guide to Oxford. Hollis Green, a UM alumnus and director of the conference center since 2009, said it is a way to keep everything updated. “We’re currently 60 percent done with this remodel and have been working for the last 90 days,” said Green, who has been the director since late 2009. “After nine
years, it was just really time for some updates. The banquet chairs in the dining hall were worn. While it all still looked good we want to make it the best.” When the remodeling is finished, visitors can expect to see new audio and visual systems for the auditorium, new lobby and terrace hallway carpet, freshly painted walls and new furniture. “One of the biggest things we are excited about is the new Americans with Disabilities Act pathways we are having installed,” he said. “It’s another way to make us even more accessible.”
Green added that business remains in full effect at the conference center, even while under construction and renovation. “We are holding multiple events almost daily and certainly weekly here,” he said. “We do a ton of weddings, business meetings and just any type of event you can imagine. I would say we are more of a conference center than a convention center, so we have a big ballroom that hold anything.” For more information and inquires about functions, visit www.oxfordconferencecenter.com.

Why are you whispering? BY JENNIFER NASSAR thedmfeatures@gmail.com
Whisper founder Michael Heyward came up with the idea for the app in late 2011 simply because of his “general longing” to create an online community for free expression. “Anonymity allows people to take off their masks and forget about trying to be perfect to impress their friends,” he said. For those unfamiliar with Whisper, it is an app where one can post statements with a background photo. The only identifier is a username, which is automatically given to the user when he or she registers for the app and can be changed later. While some people say that Whisper is a gossip app or a way to be weird or cruel, Heyward said Whisper has a “zero tolerance policy for bullying, gossip or slander of any kind.” “We work very hard to preserve the feeling of community and connection to the app,” he said. In order to do this, there is 24/7 human moderation to detect offensive posts on Whisper. In addition, Heyward said users of the app can flag posts. “That brings it to our attention, so we review it and determine if it’s inappropriate,” he said. Here at Ole Miss, it’s theater junior Patrick Hudson’s job as the Whisper campus
manager to handle social networking for the app and monitor the site. Hudson handles outreach for Whisper and monitors the statistics for downloads, the number of users and the number of posts. He said the app pretty much runs itself, adding that his role also includes weekly video conferences with Heyward and other campus managers. Ole Miss is the sixth-largest downloader in the nation, according to Hudson. And while Ole Miss has remained in the top 10 for downloads, Hudson said he feels the app is not at its best on campus. “Right now, my goal is to get people to realize that Whisper is more than just this app where you can post secrets,” he said. Husdson said that even students in the social scene sometimes feel isolated, and Whisper is an escape route for them. On the app, users can reply to posts but cannot see who the person is. Whisper doesn’t even ask for a name during registration for the app. The only way Whisper is able to determine regions is by the GPS in a person’s phone. Hudson said active discussion on the app is always encouraged, but any negativity or discrimination is automatically shut down.
“Our whole focus is to make sure that everything is positive,” he said. Whisper also does not allow anyone to put people in compromising situations. Hudson mentioned a post someone made at another university. “They said, ‘I would have more respect for Wesley if I hadn’t slept with all the guys there ... btw I’m a dude,’” he said. “That’s detrimental to the Wesley house.” Hudson added that often many students misunderstand the use of Whisper and its boundaries. “It’s about sharing things that even you may not be comfortable telling your friends,” he said. “It’s about saying things and getting advice.” On Whisper, everyone is welcome to reply to a post or message with others, but there are limits. “You’re not allowed to post phone numbers; you’re not allowed to post emails or any way for them to contact you,” Hudson said. Also, private messaging on Whisper isn’t free. “The person who initiates the conversation pays for it, but then beyond that, it’s free,” Hudson said. If Hudson sees a post where he feels a person is a threat to himself, herself or others, it is automatically reported. “I immediately call headquarters,” he said. “They can search the user name, find the post, find the Apple ID and who is using it.” Heyward said he is sometimes saddened by what he sees, but he said he appreciates the voices being given and heard. “Not a day goes by that I am not deeply affected in some way by things that our users post,” he said. “Allowing people to be themselves and say whatever is on their mind without judgment or consequence can sometimes be lifesaving.” If a student wants to make a suggestion, he or she should message the Whisper on Ole Miss Facebook page.

Cox, who has not played since Dec. 23, will start athletic-related activities, but there will not be a determination on whether he can play for 10 to 14 days. Cox is still a candidate for a
medical redshirt. Freshman Terry Brutus will be the first forward off the bench for Ole Miss, despite having only played 47 minutes this year. Freshman Anthony Perez will play more minutes in the frontcourt, despite having played all season as a guard, and freshman Martavious Newby will also see an increased role in the backcourt. Kennedy said he may play point guards sophomore Jarvis Summers and freshman Derrick Millinghaus together in some situations.

Ole Miss (17-3, 6-1 SEC) will look to bounce back its first Southeastern Conference loss when it travels to No. 4 Florida (17-2, 7-0 SEC) on Saturday. Florida sits alone atop the SEC standings after a 75-36 trouncing of South Carolina on Wednesday. The Gators have won their conference games by an average margin of 28.3 points per game, with the closest game being a 17-point win over Georgia. Florida is a 9-0 at home this season with its two losses on the road against Arizona and
26124
in Kansas City against Kansas State. The Gators lost those two games by a combined eight points. Senior Erik Murphy could present a matchup problem for Ole Miss. The 6-foot-10 forward is second on the team in 3-pointers made. Kentucky forward Kyle Wiltjer scored 26 points and knocked down five 3-pointers in the Wildcats’ 87-74 win against the Rebels on Tuesday. “Erik Murphy is a bigger, better, more experienced version of Kyle Wiltjer,” Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy said. “We’ve got to do a better job at the point of attack.” Florida is a well-balanced scoring team with four Gators averaging more than 11 points per game, led by senior guard Kenny Boynton with 13.6. Junior forward Patric Young, who came off the bench and scored 15 points in last year’s meeting, is averaging 11.0 points and 6.5 rebounds this season. The Gators will look to use ball screens to score points. Young’s big night last season was from rolling to the basket after setting screens. Kennedy called the Gators one of the best ball-screening teams in the country. As a team, Florida leads the SEC and is eighth in the NCAA in field goal percentage at 49.5 percent. The Gators also lead the SEC and ranks second in the NCAA in defensive field goal percentage, holding opponents to just 35.9 percent. Sophomore guard LaDarius White will look to continue his hot streak for the Rebels, having scored a combined 39 points in the last two games. “My role (is to) defend, rebound and attack,” White said. “I have to fill in what (senior guard) Nick (Williams) did. That means I have to score more or rebound more. I just gotta adjust to whatever coach wants me to do.” The game will be televised on ESPNU at 6 p.m. It will be the first top-five opponent the Rebels have played this year. Injury update on Jones, Williams Head coach Andy Kennedy will be looking to mix and match his rotation, as sophomore forward Aaron Jones and senior guard Nick Williams will be out with injuries. Jones, who suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, will have surgery next week and miss the rest of the season. Regarding whether or not Jones will be ready by October for next season, Kennedy said he has no doubt he will be ready, adding See HOOPS, PAGE 7
