Winter weather hits Oxford ASB presidential candidate fined BY ALLISON SLUSHER thedmnews@gmail.com

Snow covers a car on campus yesterday.
O
le Miss students received a temporary relief from classes Tuesday after an early morning snowfall. The Oxford area saw an estimated total snow fall of about .5 inches over the course of the morning. University officials decided to delay opening until noon Tuesday due to road conditions. Several students took the time off to play in the snow around campus. At time of publication, a winter weather warning was issued until 6 p.m. today. Snow and sleet were predicted for this morning with 2 to 4 inches of snow and up to .5 inches of sleet expected, according to the National Weather Service. See page seven for more photos of the winter weather.
The Associated Student Body Judicial Council met Tuesday night after receiving a campaign violation report against ASB presidential campaign candidate Jessica Brouckaert. Austin Vitale, manager for Channing Lansdell’s campaign, and Zach Gregory, manager for Davis Rogers’s campaign, filed a violation report on Feb. 5. The report stated that Brouckaert was asking for votes through social media before the allotted campaign time. The report was first brought before the Election Council on Sunday. The council found Brouckaert guilty and fined her $125. Brouckaert then appealed the decision, dtaking it to the Judicial Council Tuesday. The Judicial Council unanimously agreed to uphold the Election Council ruling. In a report from the ASB Justice Department, the Judicial
Council recognized that while it is legal to ask for campaign support prior to an election, it is a violation to ask for votes before the campaigns begin. Rogers released a statement concerning the hearing. “It is unfortunate that this happened, especially before the campaign started,” Rogers said. “We are confident that this is not an indication on how campaigning will go. We look forward to presenting our platform and working on uniting our Ole Miss family.” Vitale also spoke on behalf of Lansdell’s campaign saying that Brouckaert’s actions gave her an unfair advantage in the campaign. “Our campaign team’s first goal is to observe all of the rules and regulations relevant to ASB elections,” Vitale said. “We felt that these actions gave an unfair advantage by campaigning before the allotted See ASB, PAGE 5

UMMC Grenada expands care network BY DREW JANSEN ajjansen@go.olemiss.edu
The University of Mississippi Medical Center celebrated the grand opening of its Grenada facility last Friday. The ceremony marked the absorption of the $37 million debt that the existing Grenada Lake Medical Center had amassed. UMMC has arranged an initial lease agreement to repay the debt in annual $1.8 million installments to Grenada County. The county is leasing the facility to UMMC for 20 years with three optional 10-year renewals

for a total of up to 50 years. UMMC representative Jack Mazurak said he enjoyed the opening ceremony. “I’ve been to a lot of similar events, but I’ve never seen this much energy and welcoming with open arms,” Mazurak said. UMMC Grenada administrators said the opening of the facility offers opportunities for the community and medical students alike. “The name UMMC opens the doors for cooperative and quality care here,” UMMCG Human Resources Director Martha Harthcock said. “It will be a great site for students to do internships and possibly, af-
ter graduation, a place at home that they can serve.” Medical students have praised the educational opportunity of the new facility. “One of UMMC’s current goals is to expand the amount of trained medical professionals in the state of Mississippi,” second-year medical student Matthew Dove said. Mazurak argued that the significance of the 156-bed hospital in Grenada is the opportunities it provides for medical students. “It is really important for future physicians and the future of medical training in Mississippi for us to add locations where

medical graduates can do their residencies,” Mazurak said. Interim Grenada Lakes Medical Center CEO David Putt agrees. “Grenada offers a community hospital setting where, instead of the UMMC in Jackson that deals with more tertiary care and quaternary care patients, students will deal with challenges unique to the type of facility,” Putt said. Putt assumed the role of interim CEO in fall 2013 and will officially assume the full-time position in March 2014. As the University of Mississippi School of Medicine has continued to increase its class
size from roughly 100 students in 2000 to 145 students this year, increased opportunity for internships and residency placement are critical to training Mississippi’s next generation of healthcare professionals. Dove, among others, sees signs of continuing growth in the future. “It is my understanding that the school would like to expand even further over the next several years,” Dove said. Mazurak said UMMC anticipates progress toward a wider UMMC network and greater overall care in Mississippi without any long-term fiscal drain.

Extreme diets aren’t the answer BY ADAM BLACKWELL ablackwe@go.olemiss.edu
New Year’s resolutions are in full swing, and spring break is quickly approaching. At the same time, the Turner Center is overcrowded, and salads are in demand everywhere. The sad thing is that by the time spring break is over, the Turner Center will return to normal, and Ajax will once again be full. The community’s sudden interest in health and wellness will come to a screeching halt. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over one-third of American adults are obese. Unsurprisingly, Mississippi leads the CDC’s list of most obese states. Further, Mississippi is consistently ranked the unhealthiest state in the nation, according to reports from AmeriT H E D A I LY

ca’s Health Rankings. Along with obesity, diabetes and a lack of physical activity are major problems in the state. We can combat our state’s and our nation’s continual health issue by breaking down the trend we see right here on our campus — fad dieting and exercise, as opposed to sustainable lifestyle changes. Living a healthy lifestyle and being fit aren’t about moving from one extreme diet to the next. A healthy lifestyle involves serious commitment and openness to making major, lifelong changes to your eating and exercise habits. In fact, a recent study conducted in Great Britain found that just cutting out one nutrient — like carbs or fats — is actually detrimental to your overall health. This is something we see in fad diets every year. British twins and doctors Chris and Xand van Tulleken conducted an experiment in which one gave up fat and the other gave up carbs. They found that their

diets, and similar ones, were not the answer to healthy weight loss. In fact, what they found was that moderation in your diet and cutting out heavily processed foods were much more important than working to eliminate one specific nutrient. Frankly, giving up one major food group is difficult, if not impossible. If you starve yourself of one thing long enough, eventually, you’ll find yourself binging on that very thing. Moderation is key. While I don’t have a degree in nutrition and dietetics, and I don’t study science, I do have life experience in the field. By making sustainable changes to my own diet and exercise patterns, I lost 50 pounds over the course of a year to create a healthier lifestyle for myself. I continue to work on my lifestyle choices, working to eat less processed foods and cook for myself more. Unlike other diets, the changes I’ve made to my life are ones that I will stick with. Sure, I still eat pasta, donuts, hamburgers and pizza. But, I eat those

things much less frequently than I used to, and I work to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. In the beginning, the goal was to lose weight. Now, I do those things because my body feels better, and I feel better. I know that these lifestyle changes are adding years to my life — something a fad diet could never do. We need to stop the fad dieting and the random acts of extreme exercise found around spring break. We need to live lives that include a well-balanced diet and daily physical activity. Health and wellness are about more than looking good; they’re about feeling good, too. Now’s the time to create a lifestyle that will lead to many healthy years in the future. Now’s the time to end the obesity epidemic that plagues America. This new life starts with sustainable changes to your diet and exercise regime, not extreme dieting.

Letter to Another telling Obamacare report Editor COLUMN
Dear Editor, Although I have no great interest in defending a Republican Tea Party candidate, Sean Higgins’ opinion piece in The DM on last Friday inclined me to point out that, actually, it probably could get a lot worse than Chris McDaniel. Higgins used many superlatives (“Insane! Crazy! Intellectually bankrupt! It gets worse!”) to describe McDaniel’s positions, and that seemed a little out of place given the fact that most of McDaniel’s political interests — limiting women’s rights, stopping Obamacare, getting hot and bothered about the impending gay-ification of America and its children, etc. — are pretty standard Mississippi Republican fare. If Higgins was genuinely shocked to learn that McDaniel once said an off-color thing about Muslims, he’d be devastated to know what many Mississippians still think about black people. My point here is that it comes off as insincere and smarmy to act shocked by normal (i.e. not outside the norm for Mississippi) Republican behavior. There are many good, sane people around us who actually do empathize with the positions that McDaniel holds, and we should recognize that. To persuade these people to see the fault in McDaniel’s positions, it would be better to scrutinize the ideas he stands for and articulate criticisms of them in a non-hysterical manner. Affecting righteous indignation and labeling opponents as “insane” does little to attract others to one’s cause. Higgins was right about McDaniel’s polygamy comment, though. That was pretty weird. From, Ryan Rigney Senior Journalism Student
BY TRENTON WINFORD dmeditor@gmail.com
Last week, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report that has added to the debate surrounding Obamacare’s impact on the economy. In the report, the CBO claims that Obamacare will incentivize individuals to work less in order to maintain higher subsidy levels. As people earn more, their subsidy levels decrease. In fact, in some cases the extra earnings will be even less than the loss of subsidies, encouraging people not to work. Thus, the CBO estimates that Obamacare will directly lead to a decrease of 2.3 million full-timeequivalent jobs. Is anyone really surprised that the Obama administration passed
a law that encourages people to work less? I am not. This report, though, is just the latest in a long list of problems or issues that Obamacare has or will create. As has been shown incessantly over the past few months, Obamacare is leading to cancellations of policies across America, despite Obama claiming that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep it,” a statement that earned the notorious title of PolitiFact’s “Lie of the Year.” Along with the cancellations, many are seeing their insurance costs increase. In fact, according to a report by the Manhattan Institute, insurance premiums will rise an average of 41 percent, with Mississippi seeing a 63 percent increase on average. Only eight states will see an average decrease, while five will see the averages more than double. Of course, these numbers go against claims made by Obama, such as his promise to “cut the cost
of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.” To Obama, the typical family must only reside in those eight states. The rest are obviously atypical. This is all after the launch of the government-run health care site that was not quite functional. Estimates range from $300 to $500 million for the costs pertaining to the site, which was riddled with issues, including a number of security problems. To put that number in perspective, Facebook operated for six years before it hit $500 million in expenditures. The health care site racked up most of its
costs before it was ever launched, and it was launched with more problems than solutions. These are only a few of the issues that have been created by Obamacare, and it is not even fully implemented. If you are listening to the administration, then you will hear that everything is fine and you only have to trust Obama. But if you are one of the millions with canceled insurance or increased premiums, you know the reality of the situation. Trenton Winford is a senior public policy leadership major from Madison.

Ole Miss Big Event committee prepares for fourth year of service Banc said. “These students are difference makers on our campus and in the broader community. They represent the family spirit of our campus and are leading the way for their peers.” This is the Big Event’s fourth year. The program started in 2010 with a first-year turnout of 1,200 students. In 2012, 3,000 students participated with nearly 300 service projects completed. Projects in the past have included painting, yard work, washing windows, cleaning and assisting the elderly. Madison Coburn, co-director and senior public policy leadership major, said she is excited for the turnout this year.

“We look forward to seeing thousands of Ole Miss students working to say thank you to the Oxford and Lafayette communities,” Coburn said. “It’s so incredible to be part of a team dedicated to service in planning the Big Event.” The Big Event will take place Saturday, March 22. Students are asked to arrive between 7 and 7:30 a.m. for registration and are encouraged to register to volunteer online through their MyOleMiss account. Group applications are due March 3, and individual applications are due March 17. More information can be found at http://dos.orgsync.com/org/ bigevent/home.

No flowers. No chocolates. No cards. Just new music. BY: EMILY CRAWFORD eacrawfo@go.olemiss.edu
Valentine’s day is this Friday, and nothing says true love more than a heartfelt mixtape saying everything that you couldn’t fit into that 140-character limit subtweet. But if you’re at a loss for new music, lucky for you, some killer new albums are out this month to help you out. And I’ll do you one better and give you some somewhat romantic ideas to tie the whole night together. Starting out close to home, the Mississippi-based trio Water Liars released its third self-titled album at the beginning of this month. Heavy and raw, it’s the kind of rock that burrows itself in your gut and refuses to leave. It demands the largest BBQ plate you can find and some fried apple pie to share (or not), followed by Bud Lights and a show at Proud Larry’s. You’ll look like a real charmer, especially since Water Liars is playing at Proud Larry’s this Friday. Whimsical, energetic and psychedelic, Brit-rock band Temples released its debut album, “Sun Structures,” Monday. Oasis’ Noel Gallagher raves about the band to anyone who will listen. In last October’s GQ , he even criticized BBC for not playing the band enough. Their 1960s shag hairstyles and odes to love are “Mesmerise-ing” (a pun on the album’s first released song). Nothing would make your date happier than receiving this stellar album
on vinyl following a night of Thai food and “The Princess Bride.” Maybe this Valentine’s Day is a little more serious than takeout and cheap beer. How about this? “Your voice cut straight through me / Right down to my bones / Like a winter’s wind it / Knocked out my soul.” These stinging lyrics are from the song “Dance Slow Decades” from Angel Olsen’s sophomore album, “Burn Your Fire for No Witness.” This album is the musical equivalent to showing up in your nicest, and hopefully cleanest, collared shirt with a bouquet of daisies, then having an intimate, preferably homemade, dinner. The only downside is that “Burn Your Fire for No Witnesses” won’t be out until Feb. 18, but this delicate yet heart-shaking album is worth the wait. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, this last album is a gift for the real love of your life: your record player. It’s been 12 years since Beck released “Sea Change,” which was full of honesty, nostalgia and chiming guitars. His 12th studio album, “Morning Phase,” has been rumored to be an unofficial sequel to “Sea Change” and has consistently ranked high on music blogs such as Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound and Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated albums of 2014. The New Yorker pop critic Sasha Frere-Jones found the album flawless, saying that “the relationship between the musician and
Top (left to right): Angel Olsen’s “Burn Your Fire,” Beck’s “Morning Phase; bottom (left to right): Water Liars self-titled album, Temples’ “Sun Structure”
the listener here is as simple as the outcome is intense: only the artist knows exactly how such an album is made, but only the audience can verify that it is perfect….” With that kind of hype, who wouldn’t mind spending the night cuddled up with their laptop, watching “Girls,” which actually features one
of the album’s releases, “Blue Moon”? This album comes out Feb. 25, but treat yourself and preorder this bad boy or check the local record store. David Swider, co-owner of The End of All Music and a personal fan, reassures us that the store will definitely have this album, as well as the other three.

Donte Moncrief among NFL combine invitees Donte Moncrief, who declared for the NFL Draft after his junior season at Ole Miss, is among those who have been invited to participate at the NFL Scouting Combine later this month. The combine will be held in Indianapolis from Feb. 22-25 and televised live exclusively on the NFL Network. The NFL Draft is May 8-10. Moncrief is one of 48 wide receivers invited to the combine. The receivers are scheduled to work out on Sunday, Feb. 23 along with quarterbacks and running backs. Moncrief has been projected as a third or fourth-round pick by many prognosticators, but could enhance his stock with a good showing in front of the combine scouts. The Raleigh, Miss., native finished his three-year Ole Miss career ranked third in school history in receptions (156), receiving yards (2,371) and receiving touchdowns (20) and second in 100-yard receiving games (9).

Insell set for emotional return to Lexington BY BROWNING STUBBS bbstubbs@go.olemiss.edu
Judging by the standings, you might think a team that is 10-15 overall and 1-10 in the Southeastern Conference is a laughing stock. Think again. In a recent interview with Hotty Toddy Hotline, Ole Miss women’s basketball head coach Matt Insell expressed his hopes for SEC success. “My vision for this program from the day I took this job was to get to the point where each year we are competing for SEC championships,” Insell said. “Every day, we’re working hard to get to that point, and that’s something will reach real soon.” Insell preaches hard work and 100 percent effort at every game and practice. Now, where did he come up with these principles? Insell’s inspiration came from working under current Kentucky head coach Matthew Mitchell. For the first time since Insell began working at Ole Miss, he will make his return to Lexington on Thursday to play his former team as a visiting op-
ponent. “When I was an assistant at Kentucky, I felt like I had the best job in America,” Insell said. “I did not want to leave Kentucky just for any head coaching job. When Ole Miss came around, it was a no-brainer. The biggest sell was playing in this league. It drives me night in and night out to play in the best conference in the country.” As a team, he wants the game to be about the players, and not him. “Is it a little bit special to go back and see some friends? Yeah, but we’ll approach this game the same way we would any other game,” Insell said. “I told the girls. This isn’t about me. It’s about you. All I’m trying to figure out is how we beat Kentucky.” Coincidentally, Insell arrived at Kentucky with a situation very similar to the one the Rebels are in right now. Insell’s first year with the Wildcats resulted in just a .500 season. At Ole Miss, Insell is striving to get up to that .500 mark, and eventually to the top of the SEC. “I’m not looking to struggle any more than we are right

Bianco, Diamond Rebs eager to begin 2014 BY DAVID COLLIER thedmsports@gmail.com
Baseball season is finally here, and the Ole Miss baseball season kicks off Friday, as the Rebels travel to Stetson for a three-game series. Head coach Mike Bianco met with the media Monday for baseball media day. Bianco is excited about the depth and toughness of the 2014 squad and hopes it carries over into winning some close games. “We’re coming off a great fall and early spring,” Bianco said. “Practices and intrasquad games have been very competitive. One of the things we talked about this last summer and going into the fall — it’s kind of a mantra or catchword — is toughness. “We’ve been so close to being a great team the last couple of years. Because of a pitch here or a play there, literally coming down to a game here or there. It hasn’t happened to us for one reason or another. The difference from the great teams is they make that one play. They make that pitch. They win that game that matters that puts you hosting a regional rather than playing on the road. That puts you in the upper echelon of your conference, of the Southeastern Conference where it’s so competitive.” Bianco named junior righthander Chris Ellis as the Friday night starter. Ellis went 1-2 with a 5.57 ERA last season. He was hampered by an abdominal injury early in the season, but Bianco is confident Ellis has the tools to be the top guy for this Ole Miss pitching staff. “Chris is the most talented guy we have,” Bianco said. “He had a really good freshman year. Last year at this time, we were talking about him being the Sunday starter. It was hard for me to find him a role last year. Way into the season, we tried to rush him back. We tried him in some relief appearances. We just really never got him back on track. “He had a terrific summer this summer in the Cape. It’s a guy

that’s projected to be a first-rounder in the draft this coming June.” Sophomore left-hander Christian Trent, a junior college transfer, and junior right-hander Sam Smith will start on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. In the bullpen, the Rebels will be led by senior right-hander Aaron Greenwood. The Lewisburg native had a 2.66 ERA last season in 50.2 innings of work. Bianco
said they haven’t labeled anyone a closer at this point, but Greenwood will be the go-to guy in the bullpen. As far as position players go, Ole Miss has a lot of young guys to go along with a solid core of veterans. “Certainly, we have a lot of talented kids on the field out of that recruiting class that was ranked eighth nationally,” Bianco said. “As we enter the first weekend, we’ll

see several of those young guys take the field for us, some of them in starting roles. Position player-
wise, there’s a chance (of) two or three or four freshmen starting in the starting lineup over the first weekend. “Really, when I look at it, it’s as good of a mix of newcomers and veteran guys than we’ve had in a long time.” Freshman Errol Robinson will get the start on opening day at shortstop, according to Bianco. Junior college transfer Braxton Lee will start in left field and lead off. Freshmen Dalton Dulin (second base) and J.B. Woodman (outfield) will also be in the mix for a lot of immediate playing time. As for the veterans, senior Will Allen will be back at catcher. Junior Sikes Orvis will hold down first base. Senior Preston Overbey will battle Dulin at second. Senior Austin Anderson will round out the infield, as he has made the switch to third base. In the outfield, juniors Auston Bousfield and Will Jamison will man center field and right field, respectively.

Releford’s buzzer beater dooms Rebels TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Trevor Releford made a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 0.6 seconds left to lift Alabama to a 67-64 victory over Mississippi on Tuesday night. Releford scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half before delivering the final shot that helped snap a four-game losing streak for the Crimson Tide (10-14, 4-7 Southeastern Conference). He accounted for 14 of Alabama’s 16 points over the final 5 minutes with an assist on the other basket. Jarvis Summers had tied the game on two free throws with 13 seconds left for the Rebels (16-8, 7-4). Then Releford brought the ball across midcourt, passed once and got it right back. He fired the ball over Ole Miss’ sharpshooter Marshall Henderson to deliver the win for a team that had dropped six of its last seven games. Nick Jacobs added 18 points and eight rebounds for Alabama while Shannon Hale scored 15. Releford made 8 of
9 free throws. Henderson led Ole Miss with 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting from 3-point range after scoring 29 and hitting eight 3s in a win over Missouri. He missed his only attempt from inside the 3-point line. Anthony Perez added 13 points and LaDarius White had 10 points and eight rebounds. Releford’s two free throws with 1:11 left put Alabama up 64-58. Then Aaron Jones made 1 of 2 free throws and Perez saved an offensive rebound out to Henderson, who drilled a 3-pointer over Retin Obasohan. Then Hale missed a 3-pointer and Ole Miss, down by two points, called a timeout with 17 seconds remaining to set up a play. Releford fouled Summers, who made both but finished with nine points on 2-of-9 shooting. The Alabama guard, who had 25 points in a loss at No. 3 Florida, took over from there.
