Oxford Police Department cracking down on robberies

By Maggie McDaniel mhmcdani@go.olemiss.edu

Around 5 p.m. on Jan. 7, senior hospitality management major Rachel Malone decided to take a shower, leaving her laptop on a table in her living room.

Afterward, Malone walked back into the living room only to notice her laptop was gone. While she searched frantically, Malone’s roommate walked through the front door without having to unlock it. This is when they both realized someone had walked into their house and stolen the laptop.

Malone called the Oxford Police Department to file the report.

Two officers arrived at her house to inspect the scene and record her story, letting her know a detective would be in touch with her shortly.

After talking to the detective, Malone learned that she was a victim of a crime of opportunity. These types of crimes are committed by people who walk around opening doors and taking what they can quickly.

The Oxford Police Department has not noted a particular area of Oxford in which crimes have oc-

curred because residential areas are so widespread. While there has been an increase in residential robberies and crimes of opportunity, automobile robberies are the most prevalent crime in Oxford, according to James Owens, major of operations for the Oxford Police Department.

“Crime does not have one segment targeted and affects everyone in the county,” Owens said.

Oxford Police Department has partnered with national organization Crime Stoppers in order to create local crime prevention programs. Officers hand out flyers with tips and facts, such as the fact that over 80 percent of the burglaries in Oxford are a result of unsecured property. They have also isolated and focused on areas that have been robbed, or are more frequently robbed, in order to prevent the same types of crimes from happening again.

Owens said the Oxford Police Department is encouraging neighborhood watches, which he believes are preventative solutions to crime.

“Lock your doors, don’t let anyone in that you don’t know and look out for your neighbors and

There has been an increase in residential and automobile robberies across Oxford, according to Oxford Police.

make good relationships with them,” Owens said.

The Oxford Police Department is encouraged by Chief of Police Joey East once a week through emails to buy into the community because it affects not only the people but the officers as well. They also reach out to the community

through use of their Facebook page.

Also a victim of robbery, Owens said he wants citizens to always be aware of their surroundings, lock doors and cars and, if something doesn’t feel right, call the police because it is their job to help.

According to Malone, she al-

ways locked her doors and never thought someone would enter her house while she was home.

“Criminals are getting more creative; homeowners and renters need to realize that just because we are in Mississippi doesn’t mean you don’t need to lock your doors,” Malone said.

Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities & Colleges.

Freshman public policy major Ty Marino said he believes that induction into the Hall of Fame indicates having worked hard throughout one’s college career.

“I think it is an honor to those being recognized,” Marino said.

“It represents to us students that hard work does pay off in the long run.”

Sophomore biology major John Yi agrees.

“I believe the Hall of Fame represents those who, by their daily walk, present the ideals of the university with integrity and honor,” Yi said. “They are individuals who were not afraid to tread new ground for the betterment of their peers and Ole Miss as a whole.”

Feeling like Atlas

By Tim Abram

toabram@go.olemiss.edu

Every time I speak in a classroom here on campus, I feel a pressure similar to the one Greek Titan Atlas must have felt.

For those of us who are not classics majors, Atlas was a Titan whose punishment after losing the war against Zeus was to hold Uranus on his shoulders. Obviously, I don’t feel like I have an entire planet on my back, but I do feel like I have the weight of the entire black race on my back.

Let me explain. I am not suggesting that I have the weight of the black race on my back because I’m special or anything. But rather, I understand the pervasiveness of group identity and how some

individuals take the actions of one individual and apply them to an entire race. I am cognizant that not everyone feels this way, but I have had several conversations with other black people who feel a similar pressure.

I guess some of you could be thinking that this way of thinking is ludicrous. But recent events certainly lend some credence to this outlook.

For example, after Richard Sherman’s post-game rant, Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala tweeted, “We just got set back 500 years …” Of course I cannot definitively say that Iguodala specifically meant black people when he said “we”; I just strongly infer that is what he meant.

Yes, I understand that Iguodala is a professional basketball player and not a scholar of sociology or African American studies (as far as I know), but his comment illuminates the notion that other black people recognize the percep-

tion and consequences of group identity.

To be fair, there are some “good” (and I say that very loosely) aspects of group identity. Some individuals postulate that black people are good at sports simply because they are black. Others assume that Asian people are smart simply because they are Asian. Though these perceptions are “positive,” they are still essentialist ideas.

In sociology, essentialism is the idea that individuals have certain characteristics solely based on their association with a race or specific group.

The problem with essentialist thinking is the fact that it omits the possibility of individual agency and could lead to a dangerous slippery slope of assumptions.

I wish we lived in a society in which all people were treated as individuals, but sadly that is not reality. The pressure that some black people feel, or any other member of a minority group, is quite tax-

Since some individuals ardently subscribe to essentialist ideology, I use it to my advantage and strive to always put my best foot forward.

Students notice distinctive scents around campus

By JESSI BALLARD jaballar@go.olemiss.edu

A host of diverse aromas call the campus of The University of Mississippi home.

Treff Brock, junior parks and recreation management major, said she can smell Panda Express as far away as Peabody.

“It’s so delicious,” she said.

The aromas of the new Asian spot have engulfed the entire Student Union.

“Another striking smell lingers on the sidewalk to the commuter parking lot from the Turner Center,” Brock said. “You can smell chlorine.”

Not only can you smell chlorine, she said, but the overpowering odor produces tears, grimaces and nostalgic memories of summer all at the same time.

In addition, the upstairs area of the Turner Center smells like “burnt raccoons on the side of the road,” according to junior exercise science major Carter Tuck. This stench is likely due to the combination of sweaty gym-goers entering and exiting the Fitness Center and the location of the heating vents on the upper level, he said.

Anderson Hall has also been

noted as home to a distinctive smell.

“The basement of Anderson Hall smells like burnt cheese,” junior mechanical engineering major Shelby Williams said.

Einstein Bros Bagels, located in the basement of Anderson, marks the genesis of this aroma.

If another type of smell consumes your paradise, take a stroll by Martindale or Fulton Chapel, both of which have been noted to smell like marijuana at different times of the day. Every student asked to comment declined to have any idea what weed smells like or what it even was.

In addition to certain smells growing stronger at the height of the day, they also change with the seasons.

Junior international studies major Chris Butts claimed that the Phi Mu fountain often smells like raw sewage during the summer, and junior psychology major Demetrius Morgan observed that Shoemaker and Hume both have a musky, unidentifiable smell that intensifies in warmer weather.

Some might say the campus smells like cow pies. Some might say it smells like teen spirit. Either way, Ole Miss has students’ senses working overtime.

MFA student publishes first poetry collection

By Clara turnage scturna1@go.olemiss.edu

PHIL McCAUSLAND | The Daily Mississippian

Caroline Randall Williams

Graduate student Caroline Randall Williams has been busy.

After graduating from Harvard University in 2010 with a degree in English and working for Teach for America in the Delta, Williams came to Ole Miss to become a part of the Master of Fine Arts program. In her time here she has begun a collection of poems that has acquired a great deal of attention.

“I’ve been working on this series of sonnets since last spring,” Williams said. “The project is really near and dear to my heart. It’s something that’s been germinating since the fall that I got here.”

She worked on them at Cave Canem last summer as well.

Cave Canem, an AfricanAmerican poetry foundation, holds a workshop retreat at the University of Pittsburgh each year for young poets to come and tune their skills.

“You get a week working with all of these incredible, nationally known, black poets, and you get to do a series of workshops,” Williams explained. “It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done, and I’m going back again this summer.”

Williams’s assortment has an interestingly historical base.

“The project revolves around the idea of Shakespeare’s dark lady sonnets,” Williams said. “It’s unclear

exactly who the dark lady was, but 37 of Shakespeare’s sonnets are addressed to someone he describes as black and ill colored. I’ve been using them as springboards to inspire my own sonnets that deal with white male perceptions of black females in society and through time, particularly in the Jim Crow South era.”

Williams implied that the complex and mercurial topic also had some grounds in her personal experience.

When Williams showed her work to her friend, Gregory Sherl, who is also an MFA candidate at Ole Miss and an accomplished poet, she didn’t know it would lead to her eventual publication.

Ampersand Books is a small press in Florida that publishes new and little-heard-of authors and poets. Each year Ampersand produces a collection from a previously unpublished poet. This year, that poet will be Caroline Randall Williams.

“Greg gets to select which poet gets the next book,” Williams said. “He called me and said, ‘I really love your project. Do you want your book to be the next one Ampersand Books does?’”

This is not Williams’ first experience in the world of publishing; she coauthored a young adult novel with her mother, Alice Randall, that was released last year. But this work is more personal.

“This book is nearest and dearest to me because it’s my own.”

The Ole Miss women’s tennis team continued its winning ways on Saturday in the Gillom Sports Center, as the Rebels trounced the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, 7-0.

The doubles point took just one more minute than the 22 that senior Caroline RohdeMoe’s father estimated it would take. Fans were given the opportunity to predict how long the doubles point would last for a chance to win a Rebel gift pack, and Kjell Gunnar Rohde-Moe was the closest. He then watched Caroline drop the first two games of her singles match before winning 12 of 13 the rest of the way.

“We did a good job of taking care of business,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “I thought we were focused. I thought we worked on things, and we got better today. That’s what you want to make sure you get out of these matches.”

Freshman Zalina Khairudinova continued her strong play on Saturday as well. She

was the first one off the singles court, disposing of junior Danielle Kerindi 6-1, 6-0 at No. 3 singles.

Sophomore Mai El Kamash also played well in her first home action of the season.

After being held out of the Jan. 22 match against Jackson State with what Beyers called “very light elbow tendonitis,” El Kamash, sporting an elbow sleeve on her right arm, picked up her second straight victory at the No. 4 singles spot, 6-0, 6-2. El Kamash is ranked 57th in the nation in singles.

“Obviously, depth is something that we definitely have, and we’re going to need in

the SEC,” Beyers said. “Our top four positions are all very experienced players. Against any team at any spot, I feel like we have an opportunity to win.”

The Rebels will have nearly three weeks off before their next match. They will host a doubleheader Feb. 21 to kick off their outdoor season. Ole Miss will face Lipscomb before battling Tennessee State.

“Hopefully the weather will cooperate, and we’ll be able to get outside and start practicing,” Beyers said.

Resilient Rebels rally late to defeat Gamecocks 75-71

By Tyler Bischoff tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss was getting pummeled. South Carolina, one of the worst teams in the SEC, was taking it to the Rebels on offense and defense.

“We deserved to be down 15 with 10 to play,” head coach Andy Kennedy said.

But the last 10 minutes was all Ole Miss. The Rebels closed the game on a 29-10 run over the last 10:53. South Carolina was 2 of 9 from the field and committed seven turnovers down the stretch. And it was all due to a defensive change.

“Finally, we found something that was working in the end,” Kennedy said. “We got in that half court trap, and I thought it really disrupted them.”

Ole Miss changed up its defense, but the Gamecocks were destroying whatever Ole Miss threw at them until Kennedy went to the 2-2-1 press.

“We never crossed half court for about three minutes. We just got passive,” South Carolina head coach Frank Martin said.

“We had opportunities to attack it, and we didn’t. Then we turned it over, and we stopped

guarding because you turn it over so it gives them life.”

Ole Miss cashed in 18 total South Carolina turnovers for 23 points, including a steal from junior guard LaDarius White in the 2-2-1 that he took to the basket and pulled Ole Miss within two.

But Ole Miss needed more than just defense; the Rebels needed someone to step up offensively. Senior guard Marshall Henderson was rolling as usual and finished the night with 21 points, but junior guard Jarvis Summers, who has been consistent all season, was struggling.

He had just five points when Ole Miss trailed by 15. But he scored 10 points in the final 11 minutes and finished with 15 points and eight assists.

“They were switching a lot of ball screens and being very physical with him, and we couldn’t get the corner turned,” Kennedy said of Summers. “Second half, sense of urgency, a little more pop in his step, and he got the corner turned.”

Summers hit two of the biggest shots of the game, as he gave Ole Miss the lead with a three, then extended that lead to three with a driving layup.

Ole Miss needs Summers and Henderson to play at their peak every night. For 30 minutes, Summers was nowhere to be found, but his aggression helped Ole Miss reach the pinnacle against South Carolina to make the final score 75-71.

“I don’t know if I ever been more excited about what I just witnessed for about the last seven minutes,” Kennedy said. “That was big-time basketball.”

If there is anything evident from Ole Miss basketball in the last year and a half, it’s that this team can’t be counted out.

Last year’s team lost late games to South Carolina and Mississippi State; they were written off.

But that team came back to win the SEC Tournament and an NCAA Tournament game.

This year’s team has played in close game after close game.

And even when they look terrible and trail South Carolina by 15 late, they can’t be counted out, not with the big shot making and momentum swingers of Summers and Henderson on the floor.
