Brouckaert, Rogers advance to runoff; Savage elected AG

Authorities ‘extremely close’ to arrest in statue vandalism case

BY ALLISON SLUSHER & CATY CAMBRON thedmnews@gmail.com

The Associated Student Body announced the results of the 2014-15 ASB executive branch election yesterday in front of the Student Union.

Jessica Brouckaert and Davis Rogers will compete in a runoff election for ASB president.

Rogers finished Tuesday’s elections with 42.1 percent of the votes. Brouckaert had 29.88 percent and presidential candidate Channing Lansdell had 27.08 percent.

Each presidential candidate said they are appreciative for the support they have received during their campaigns. Rogers and Brouckaert said they are preparing for the runoff.

“I want to keep the enthusiasm going and work hard,” Brouckaert said. “We’re going to have to boost it up a little bit, probably improve social media. That’s definitely a key component in campaigns.”

In regard to his strategy for the run-off, Rogers said he and his team will pick up their ground game. “Just get the same support we had today. Just the same thing, but round two,” he said.

Lansdell said he believes he ran a good campaign and that he gave it his best shot.

“It’s pretty much the way the cards fall, and they didn’t fall our way tonight. No hard feelings

Kelly Savage

with it on any side,” Lansdell said.

Sophomore journalism major Kelly Savage ran against sophomore journalism major Ryan Schmelz for attorney general.

Savage finished the elections with 64.92 percent while Schmelz finished with 33.32 percent.

All candidates who ran unopposed were elected into office as well. Junior political science and business major Emerson George will be the new vice president; sophomore nursing and integrated marketing communications double major Heather Neilson will be secretary; junior accounting major Madison White will be treasurer; junior biochemistry major Jared Akers will be judicial chair.

The runoff election will be held Thursday, Feb. 20 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on MyOleMiss.

The runoff election results will be announced Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in front of the Student Union.

A flower rests at the foot of the James Meredith statue as students make signs during protest.

BY ADAM GANUCHEAU dmeditor@gmail.com

University Police Department Chief Calvin Sellers said police “are extremely close to making an arrest” in the James Meredith statue vandalism case. The university announced Tuesday that FBI joined forces with UPD on the investigation.

“The FBI has been helping us with the case, and I can say that we are very close,” Sellers said Tuesday night.

“I think it’s very possible that

we make an arrest (Wednesday).”

Sellers could not disclose whether the suspects are students at Ole Miss.

He said that the charges against any arrested individuals will depend on what prosecutors suggest. FBI officials could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.

“At this point, we don’t know what the specific charges will be,” Sellers said. “We will take the advice of the local district attorney or federal prosecutors, depending on

what they decide they want to prosecute.”

The Ole Miss Alumni Association offered a $25,000 reward Monday afternoon for any information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the vandalism. It is unclear whether the reward money has contributed to the progression of the investigation. “(Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones) called me Monday and told me about the incident, See ARREST, PAGE 5

Ole Miss students gather around to protest at the James Meredith statue.

STAFF EDITORIAL: Experience informs our consciousness

University of Mississippi students gathered in front of the James Meredith statue on campus on Tuesday. Members of the Ole Miss community were invited to meet at the statue at 3:30 p.m. in response to an incident that occurred Sunday morning when the University Police Department found a rope noose and a pre-2003 Georgia state flag draped around Meredith’s

statue.

Two UM seniors, one black, one white, organized what they called a “people protest” after being inspired by their African American Studies professor Bryan Cooper Owens.

“We had a discussion about how we felt about what happened to the statue,” senior journalism major Jonece Dunigan said. “We decided we were going to have a peaceful protest to show that we are Ole Miss.”

Senior general studies major

Ashley Cummins reached out to Dunigan after being moved and upset by the class discussion.

“The people that did this are part of us,” Cummins said. “It hurt my feelings to be associated with that.”

Dunigan and Cummins brought markers and blank posters for people to decorate at the gathering.

Out of control

BY CHRISTINE DICKASON cndickas@go.olemiss.edu

I’m from the Memphis area, so Tennessee politics stay on my radar. While the federal government is struggling to get anything accomplished, the Republicancontrolled Tennessee State Legislature has been busy. But what is actually being accomplished in our neighboring state?

Tennessee legislators began last week by passing a resolution encouraging “Sean Hannity and other like-minded New Yorkers” to move to Tennessee. Isn’t it comforting to know taxpayer dollars are being spent on such innovative, groundbreaking legislation?

After beginning the week tackling the troubling problem of conservatives stuck in liberal states, what could they possibly take on next?

State Sen. Brian Kelsey decided it was time to address the problem of homosexuals buying goods and services in Tennessee. I guess denying them the right to marriage equality just isn’t enough anymore.

The legislation that he sponsored — but has since removed his name from — would allow businesses to refuse customers service due to their sexual orientation if the good or service would further “a civil union, domestic partnership, or marriage not recognized by the Tennessee Constitution.”

What does this actually mean?

The bill says this could include denying “services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods,

continued from page 2

or privileges … social services … or employment benefits.” Basically, it further institutionalizes discrimination.

But the legislature wasn’t done yet. To cap off the week, Rep. Richard Floyd introduced House Joint Resolution 661, which “expresses (the legislature’s) displeasure with the University for permitting ‘Sex Week’ to be held on the UT-Knoxville campus for a second consecutive year.” The resolution was approved on Tuesday.

The University of Tennessee’s Sex Week produced quite a media storm during its inaugural year in 2013. Sex Week, an event that began at Yale University in 2002, is designed to explore ideas of love, relationships, gender identity, sexual orientation and sex.

The response by the legislature is not surprising. In 2012, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law a bill that banned teachers from discussing “gateway sexual activity,” which could include — gasp! — holding hands.

This is just one of the many reasons that Sex Week is so important. As administrators and politicians shy away from open discussions about sex, Tennessee students are more sexually active than most young adults are across the country. According to the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey,

52.4 percent of Tennessee high school students had had sex, compared to 47.4 percent nationally.

The level of sexual activity, coupled with the prevalence of ineffective abstinence-only sex education programs, leads to high rates of unwanted pregnancies, STDs, and sexual assaults. When speaking with students at UT about the event last year, I frequently heard students praising the inclusiveness of the program, as well as its ability to combat society’s “sex-negative” views.

Yet the state legislature is dead set against it. Last year, only a few weeks prior to Sex Week, the university’s administration — under pressure from the legislature — announced that it was pulling state funding from the event, leaving the organizers scrambling to recuperate the $11,145. Amazingly, it took fewer than 24 hours for Sex Week to be fully funded, mostly through private donations.

The state legislature is getting involved again this year, and it has taken it a step further, threatening to slash funding for UT if the event occurs. As universities around the country struggle to make ends meet with rising costs and shrinking budgets, this threat could have serious consequences for the school’s students and staff.

Why should this matter to Ole Miss students? The actions of the

Tennessee State Legislature harm the very ideas of academic freedom and openness upon which universities are founded. Even if everyone doesn’t agree with the mission or programs of Sex Week, it should still be allowed to occur. Mississippi State Sen. Chris McDaniel spoke here last week.

Do I agree with him on the majority of issues? Absolutely not.

But that doesn’t mean the state legislature should pull funding from the event because his views don’t align with mine. A diversity of views and perspectives should always be welcomed on a college campus.

It’s time to say enough is enough. Our fellow students at the University of Tennessee — and the residents of Tennessee as a whole — deserve better.

This weekend’s RebelTHON to benefit Le Bonheur

BY MAGGIE MCDANIEL mhmcdani@go.olemiss.edu

The second annual Ole Miss RebelTHON benefiting Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis will be held Feb. 22 at the Jackson Avenue Center.

Organized as a dance-a-thon, the event raised $25,409.73 last spring to offer support to the hospital itself and families of patients.

Internal director Maia Cotelo, a sophomore international studies major, said she believes this year’s goal for RebelTHON is to show that it is different from other fundraising events.

“There are very few philanthropic events where you can actually interact with the families, and it is important to connect with the people being affected,” Cotelo said.

Participants can expect to participate in multiple themed hours and entertainment, according to Cotello.

The Holy Ghost Electric Show band will be featured alongside families visiting to tell their stories throughout the course of the evening.

There will be five meals ca-

tered by Old Venice, Taylor Grocery, Rib Cage, B’s Hickory Smoke BBQ and McEwen’s.

There will also be other restaurants that provide snacks for the

participants.

Kelly Scott, development coordinator at Le Bonheur’s Tupelo office, said she has enjoyed becoming involved in the event.

“It’s not about the money, it’s about the families and helping them,” said Scott, whose child received care at the age of two at Le Bonheur.

This year’s event will begin at 12 p.m. and end at 12 a.m.

Sunday alcohol sales bill passed

BY CHEKAREY HAILEY cnhailey@go.olemiss.edu

THOMAS GRANING | The Daily Mississippian

UM student Callie Daniels holds a sign while protesting in front of the James Meredith statue.

STATUE, continued from page 1 being made by the student presence here today,” said Donald Cole, assistant to the chancellor for multicultural affairs.

Cooper Owens said Dunigan’s idea for the protest stemmed from his class discussion that allowed students to talk about their reaction to both the incident and their reaction the university’s non-response.

“Until the university begins to address the real issues of systemic institutionalized racism on this campus, until they begin to take seriously the environment of white supremacy that exists on this campus, we will continue to see incidents like this,” Cooper Owens said.

“If there is a pattern, it is no longer individuals,” Cooper Owens said in regards to those responsible for “symbolically lynching” the James Meredith statue, a campus representation of unity and courage amongst

whites and blacks. “We can’t say it was ‘these outsiders’ — no, it was us.”

A crowd of about fifty to eighty students, black and white, gathered at Meredith’s statue.

ASB Senate met Tuesday as a whole body to discuss the incident itself and potential actions to be taken in response.

Vice President Morgan Gregory said she felt meeting together to reflect on the university’s history and mission, rather than dividing into regularly scheduled committee meetings, best served student constituents.

“We have a responsibility to the university, to our classmates and to the value of our education to do something about this,” Gregory said of the Senate’s willingness to discuss potential solutions to the incident. “An attitude of intolerance may well be unchangeable overnight, over a week or month, but we have to start somewhere. And, the more we fight now, the quicker acceptance can hopefully become our full reality.”

The Oxford Board of Aldermen yesterday passed 9 to 1 a bill to allow restaurants to sell alcohol on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Alderman Janice Antonow voted in favor of the bill, and she acknowledged restaurants for being patient thus far.

“I want to thank the restaurants that have been open on Sunday’s without alcohol sales. I want to thank them and continue to patron them,” said Antonow before voting began.

Mayor George “Pat” Patterson expressed concern that the increased access to alcohol could lead to negative outcomes.

“This will be the last thing I will say about this. While I support (restaurants) being open on (Sunday) I fail to see after the actions this past weekend how this will benefit,” said Patterson, alluding to the vandalism on the University of Mississippi campus on

Sunday morning.

The lone nay vote came from Alderman Ulysses Howell, who was concerned that drinking alcohol on Sunday could affect work

performance on Mondays.

The bill will take effect 30 days after approval by the Alcoholic Beverage Control.

ARREST, continued from page 1 and I was just so sickened,” Ole Miss Alumni Association Director Tim Walsh said Tuesday. “We wanted to do anything we could to support the university and bring justice to those responsible for this heinous act.”

Walsh said this is the first time the alumni association has offered a reward for a crime committed on campus.

Diamond Rebs face UT-Martin in home opener

BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss baseball team will make its home debut of the 2014 season this afternoon at 4 p.m. when it hosts TennesseeMartin. The Rebels (3-0) come in off a sweep of Stetson this past weekend in Florida, while the Skyhawks (0-3) were swept

by UAB. Sophomore right-hander Jacob Waguespack will get the start on the mound for Ole Miss. Waguespack saw action this past weekend, pitching one inning with a strikeout. Last season, Waguespack made six appearances, two of which were starts, and posted a 0-1 record with a 3.46 ERA. In his 13 innings pitched, he gave up nine hits, with six strikeouts.

Ole Miss enters the game on a hot streak at the plate. The Rebels racked up 26 runs in their three-game series with Stetson, including six home runs. They only hit 23 all of last season.

The Rebels have five starters hitting at least .400 and will look

to have continued success in this midweek matchup.

Junior center fielder Auston Bousfield leads the way at the plate with a .583 average after the first weekend. He had seven hits in 12 at-bats and also drove in a run. Another name to keep an eye on is senior catcher Will Allen, who stepped into the power hitting role nicely against Stetson. Allen was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, as he launched two home runs and also drove in 10 runs in 11 at-bats. Senior utility player Preston Overbey also had success with the long ball, hitting two home runs on the weekend.

Freshman Fletcher Johnson will be the guy UT-Martin leans on offensively. He is currently leading the team with four hits through three games and also has one of the team’s four runs batted in. Seniors Zack Malone and Phil Sorenson will also be contributors offensively for the Skyhawks, with both coming out of the first weekend series hitting .300.

Frontcourt failure dooms Ole Miss against Kentucky

BY TYLER BISCHOFF tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu

It has been the same story all season. The post play for Ole Miss has been subpar.

Outrebounded, missed layups, and opponent alleyoops; the frontcourt has been embarrassing.

This time, it resulted in an 84-70 loss to No. 18 Kentucky Tuesday night in Tad Smith Coliseum, the Rebels’ third consecutive Southeastern Conference loss.

“We just can’t get anything at the basket,” Rebel head coach Andy Kennedy said.

“We’re 26 games into this, and it has not changed. Our frontcourt field goal percentage is around 40 percent in league play. Sobering.”

As the bubble drifts out of view, the frontcourt contin-

ues to fail Ole Miss, and that was on full display against Kentucky, one of the longest teams in the country.

The Wildcats grabbed 39 rebounds to the Rebels 23.

Kentucky grabbed 10 of their 26 missed shots. Kentucky’s star freshman, forward Julius Randle, had 25 points and 13 rebounds. He only missed two shots all night, as he was 6 of 7 from the field and 13 of 14 from the free throw line.

The three Kentucky big men that played over 10 minutes were 10 of 12 from the field, 17 of 20 from the free throw line, grabbed 22 rebounds and blocked four shots. Ole Miss’ four frontcourt players combined for seven points and 11 rebounds.

“We’re just not tough enough, physically, to put our nose in there and battle,”

Kennedy said. “As a coach, when you’re saying that at the end of February, it’s pretty sobering, pretty disappointing.

(It’s) my fault.”

Kentucky’s defensive scheme against Ole Miss was to switch every screen, which prevented junior guard Jarvis Summers from turning the corner on the pick-and-roll and kept senior guard Marshall Henderson from getting free for a three. But it should have resulted in the next option — the screener — getting space to operate. But Ole Miss couldn’t cash in.

“We hit the slip guy a number of times, but we can’t score at the basket,” Kennedy said. “Sometimes, it is even a victory to get a shot. We fail.

How many layups have we missed?”

Ole Miss missed six layups

against Kentucky; the Wildcats made 16 dunks or layups in the game. As Kennedy referred to, junior Aaron Jones, freshman Sebastian Saiz, freshman Dwight Coleby and junior Demarco Cox have made 40.9 percent of their shots this season.

Ole Miss is second to last in the SEC in rebound percentage. The Rebels grab just 47.9 percent of missed shots. They are last in the conference in defensive rebounding, as they grab just 63.9 percent of opponent misses.

Kennedy is obviously aware of the problems, but given the personnel and the pattern that has developed this year, there isn’t much more that can be done. Ole Miss is who they are.

“The rebounding woes, I’m really at a loss,” Kennedy

said. “You’d be amazed at the emails I get. People ask, ‘Do you guys do block out drills?’

Actually, we do. I realize what the problem is. My problem is, I can’t do much about it right now.”

When asked about the future, if he had to correct the woes in recruiting, Kennedy said, “Thank you. You said it.”

But after the game, Saiz walked on to the court to get some shots up. Soon after, Jones joined him. As Ole Miss has eliminated any margin for error this season, at the very least, the frontcourt hasn’t given up.
