STUDENT LOAN DEBT AFTER DEATH A majority of college students who take out private loans are unaware of specific disclosures that can affect the terms of payments, even after death.

BY KELTON BROOKS krbrooks@go.olemiss.edu

Last year at the undergraduate level, 2.8 percent of students at The University of Mississippi borrowed private loans, and 2 percent of graduate students borrowed private loans.

Most private loans include a benefits and services provision that details loan forgiveness if a borrower dies, is permanently injured or has to file for bankruptcy.

Ole Miss has partnered with five lenders that offer permanent disability and death benefits to borrowers: Citizens Bank, Wells Fargo, Sallie Mae, Discover and SunTrust.

Director of financial aid Laura Diven-Brown said that while federal loans have

death and disability benefits, the loans themselves may not cover the total cost of attendance, which leads students to take out private loans.

“We are looking to ensure that the kinds of products that we share information about with our students are things that we would find legitimate,” Diven-Brown said.

For insurance, if the primary borrower dies, selective loan organizations offer cosigner release so the debt won’t carry over to the cosigner.

“Borrowers can apply for cosigner release, but that doesn’t mean they will automatically get approved,” said Seph Anderson, coordinator of student loan operations at See LOANS, PAGE 5

The Overby Center will host a panel discussion at 1 p.m. in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of a biracial group being attacked while staging a sit-in at a Woolworth’s in Jackson.

Two participants of the sit-in will join an author who has re-

cently published a work detailing the event and a filmmaker whose documentary on the subject will be screened at the Oxford Film Festival this weekend.

The panel will be hosted in the Overby Auditorium and is free and open to the public.

The University of Mississippi’s Athletics Department and the Office of Sustainability have joined forces to add new recycling receptacles to the stadiums.

Anne McCauley, assistant director of the Office of Sustainability, said that through these recycling options, they hope to encourage care of the environment outside of the sports events.

“We want students outside the sport events to make it a habit to recycle,” McCauley said. “It should feel unnatuSee RECYCLE, PAGE 5

A defense for Generation Y

Baby boomers and Generation X so often express hatred for Generation Y, or millennials, that it’s a cliché. We get it: You think we’re lazy, ADD and socially inept. Sure, I guess I can agree. I actually can’t deny that my generation is full of neurotic, overly medicated, unemployed video gamers.

Let’s talk education reform

FILE PHOTO (QUENTIN WINSTINE) | The Daily Mississippian

BY ANNA RUSH akrush1@gmail.com

It’s been over 30 years since former Mississippi Gov. William Winter passed the Mississippi Education Reform Act. This act overhauled public education, namely publicly funding education and establishing compulsory school attendance law. At the time, Mississippi ranked last in education as well as in many other social and economic categories.

Fast forward to present day and, well, not much has changed. This is not to show that the Education Reform Act was unsuccessful; it made a huge positive impact on the education and development of our state. This shows that we still have a lot of work to do.

Governor Winter was noted as saying “the road out of the poor house leads past the schoolhouse.” He understood that education is the foundation on which society, and our state, firmly rests. Without a strong education system, fostering the minds of our children, all other attempts in bettering our state are done in vain.

Thirty years later, current Gov. Phil Bryant is picking up

The

with high performing teaching receiving additional compensation.

If education is the foundation for the furtherance our state, teachers are the bricklayers. Focusing on the quality of teachers will directly correlate to quality of education our students receive. Setting the standards high for teachers will result in high standards for students. We need impassioned, well-educated teachers in the classroom to mold the minds and inspire the youth of Mississippi.

It is worth every extra effort to find teachers that fit these requirements and worth every penny to provide scholarships to keep good teachers in Mississippi and compensate highperforming teachers.

These reforms carry on the legacy of the education movement that Gov. Winter started some 30 years ago, and with proper support, these education reforms will bring us further along the path out of the poor house.

the most educated generation, and yet the great recession of 2009 has hit us the hardest, at a time when many of us were just entering the job market. Although many millennials have a college degree, 48 percent of working college grads are in jobs that do not require a degree, and 38 percent are in jobs that don’t even require a high school diploma.

We also carry the most crushing student debt of any generation, becoming indentured servants to our student loans. This economy has older folks hanging onto their jobs for longer, preventing millennials from filling those positions. We paid good money to get an education, and now we’re working at Starbucks to pay back our debts. I think it’s pretty clear that we’re trying, but the system has us struggling.

Seriously, stop hating on Generation Y. It’s pretty common in general for other generations to gnash their teeth at the younger generation. Those darned kids.

I’ve heard the arguments — that every generation has had its struggle, and if millennials just had the same work ethic as baby boomers, we wouldn’t be in our wretched state. I’m not sure work ethic is really the issue. Does anyone think that millennials enjoy not having jobs or any money? We just love living with our parents

well into our 20s. Sorry that we can’t claim a world war or the civil rights movement as a redeeming characteristic of our generation.

There’s also the complaint that we were shielded from criticism growing up, always told that we were special little snowflakes, and now we don’t know how to turn negative feedback into something constructive.

Maybe it’s true, and maybe it’s not. There’s no way to measure that, and anyway, whose fault would that be?

I am pretty sure millennials didn’t tell their parents, “Hey, make sure you don’t hurt my feelings too much when you discipline me.”

This probably sounds like a defensive, self-righteous, pitiful response of a millennial, one that older generations will say is typical and fails to accept responsibility for our own failures. But that particular response is equally as predictable.

Yes, millennials have depression and are ADD. Yes, we have tattoos and piercings. But these are generalities, and aren’t depressed, ADD, tattooed and pierced people also in other generations? Just so you know, millennials are also known for being the most tolerant of same-sex and interracial marriage. We’re also the most religiously open-minded of any generation.

We’re not that bad if you just give us a chance.

The package, which can be found at http://www.governorbryant.com/wp-content/ uploads/2012/11/EducationWorks-Outline.pdf, includes testing students ability to read in 3rd grade in order to advance to 4th grade, testing students in reading and math in 7th grade in order to advance, continuing research and funding for pre-K education, and restructuring high schools whose graduation rates are lower than 80 percent.

Another part of the package, which is projected to raise some eyebrows if not some debate, focuses on teachers.

The minimum entry requirements for teaching programs will be raised to a 3.0 GPA and 21 ACT score. Additionally, Gov. Bryant will award 100 scholarships to incoming university freshmen with a 3.5 high school GPA and a 28 ACT score, who agree to teach for five years in a Mississippi Public School.

A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S

Sequester Q&A: For US, a new season of uncertainty The politics of sequestration have been fierce, the fingerpointing incessant. And to no one’s surprise, what was designed as a way out of one Washington standoff has produced another one — and more.

A week out from the March 1 deadline, there are no meaningful efforts in Washington to avert the punishing automatic cuts set out in a law nearly two years ago.

Bellowing and blame aside, what really would happen if, as expected, President Barack Obama and congressional lawmakers allow the nation to blow past the deadline?

Q: What’s the big overall picture?

A: A series of cuts to federal agencies that would lead to longer lines at the nation’s borders, less money for teachers and more hassle at airport checkpoints. Virtually every dollar approved each year by Congress would be slashed by a uniform amount, which would mean at least temporary layoffs for hundreds of thousands of public and private-sector workers. Programs like Medicare and Social Security are exempt, but there is no question the slashing of other programs would slow the nation’s fragile economic recovery.

Q: And the big numbers?

A: Under a 2011 law designed to avert exactly this type of inaction, March 1 means automatic cuts of $85 billion from a $3.6 trillion budget over the seven months spanning MarchSeptember. That would include cuts of 8 percent to the Pentagon and 5 percent to domestic agency operating budgets.

More than 3.8 million Americans who have been jobless for

six months or longer could see their unemployment benefits reduced by as much as 9.4 percent.

Q: Will it harm the economy?

A: Yes. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it will cost 750,000 jobs and lower economic growth by 0.6 percent. That’s because the cuts drain demand from the economy and affect companies that do business with the government.

Q: Why is this happening, what’s actually going to occur and who is likely to be most affected? First, how did we get here?

A: The seeds of the sequester were sown by a demand by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, that the 2011 debt limit increase be matched, dollar-fordollar, by cuts in federal spending. After “grand bargain” talks between Boehner and Obama broke down, the White House came up with the sequester idea as a way to guarantee large enough deficit cuts to offset enough new borrowing to make sure Washington didn’t have to revisit the debt limit until after the 2012 elections. The sequester threat was designed to be so harsh that it would drive the sides to compromise on an alternative.

It didn’t work. House Republicans twice last year passed legislation to replace the cuts with larger savings drawn from programs like food stamps and federal employee pensions. Democrats controlling the Senate didn’t offer an alternative and instead put their faith in postelection negotiations to avert the “fiscal cliff,” which resulted in Obama claiming victory on his promise to raise taxes on the 27141

P-Reaux’s

rich but only a two-month respite from the sequester. Now, Republicans say they won’t give in to demands by Obama and the Democrats controlling the Senate for higher taxes as part of any solution.

Q: How quickly will the sequester’s impact be felt?

How will we notice it?

A: It depends. At first, the general public may not much notice the cuts. The sequester isn’t a government shutdown; it’s a government slowdown.

Furloughs of federal workers — forced unpaid days off — generally won’t start for a month due to notification requirements.

Many government contracts would still be funded using money previously approved even as agencies slow down the awards of new contracts. But furloughs of workers like air traffic controllers, meat inspectors, FBI agents, the Border Patrol and park rangers will mean an inevitable deterioration of noticeable government services that could, for instance, force intermittent closures of meat packing plants and shorter operating hours at smaller airports.

Other impacts will be more subtle, like longer waits at security checkpoints at airports and along the Mexican border or for cargo inspections at ports. Cuts inside the Defense Department will be particularly acute, in part because military pay is exempt, which will force sharper cuts on the rest of the budget, particularly training and maintenance. Civilian Pentagon workers will face furloughs of 22 days through the end of September. Basically, if you work for the government or do business with it, you’ll be hardest hit.

Congratulations OLE MISS HOCKEY on a successful Season!

Good Luck at the SEC Hockey tournament on Feb 22nd!

Aeroacoustics utilize a wind tunnel that allows air to travel at five times the speed of sound.”

The university’s acoustics center is one of the largest acoustics centers in the nation. Brian Carpenter, a research and development engineer at the center, is among those who are eager to have Gladden as director.

“We’re all excited about his new appointment,” Carpenter said. “He is an exemplary faculty member and a distinguished scientist who holds the respect of his colleagues.”

Provost Morris Stocks mentioned Gladden’s leadership involvement with the STEM Living and Learning Community and position as a faculty fellow in the Residential College.

“I’m confident Dr. Gladden will lead the center to the next level of excellence,” Stocks said.

Dr. James P. Chambers previously held the position of interim executive director of the center.

School of Pharmacy receives grant to add residency position RECYCLE,

continued from page 1

Ole Miss is one of 30 universities funded to create new postgraduate community pharmacy residencies through grants to nonprofit schools and colleges of pharmacy.

Grant recipients are determined based on the recommendations of an independent review committee comprised of representatives from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the American Pharmacists Association and the NACDS Foundation.

The money received in partnership with Funderburk’s Pharmacy will go toward the resident’s salary, fringe benefits and support for research projects, travel and other accommodations.

“The grant really strengthens our partnership with Funderburk because we already have a faculty member who practices there who provides medication therapy management services in that pharmacy two days a week,” Ross said.

Junior pharmacy major Kori Daniels said she believes that the grant will benefit pharmacy students because it will give them the ability to try out different venues of pharmacy.

“There are so many more

options other than just retail and hospital,” Daniels said.

“The grant will give pharmacy students the ability to go out there and see if that’s what they are interested in.”

Ross said the program offers exceptional training opportunities, as the goal is to increase residency opportunities within the state of Mississippi.

“As we continually try to provide opportunities for faculty, students and residents, this grant accomplishes all three,” Ross said.

ral not to recycle.”

Joe Swingle, associate athletics director for facilities and game operations, said that two simple recycling systems are in the process of implementation.

“Fan cans,” red recycling trash cans decorated to look like baseball helmets, will be placed at the entrances of Oxford-University Stadium/ Swayze Stadium on campus and should soon be seen across the athletic facilities on campus, according to Swingle. Cans and recyclables are also being collected with clear bags sourced from recycled plastics.

Swingle said he thinks people will take advantage of the recycling opportunities.

“If they have that choice and it’s in front of them, they will do what’s right for the environment and recycle,” Swingle said.

To get involved in the green movement on campus, support the recycling initiatives at sporting events and visit the university’s Office of Sustainability website to learn more.

report so they are not held responsible for repayment.

Art junior Elizabeth Tutor said that while she understands the expectation that a borrower is to pay back borrowed funds, she said she acknowledges the burden on the parent.

“It would be idealistic and

nice to have the loan completely wiped away if the borrower passed away, but I think it would be more reasonable to ask for a grace period to deal with the passing of their child,” Tutor said.

“But lenders do have to get the money that they loaned out back.”

Marketing senior Jamie Battle agreed that the loan should not transfer to the parents.

“I don’t think it’s fair because it shouldn’t be the parent’s responsibility to take care of their child’s loan burden if he or she dies,” Battle said.

Although Battle knows about particular disclosures of private loans and the debt that private loans will accrue, she said she has no other options.

“I have no other choice,” she said. “I don’t have a lot of scholarships that will pay for college.”

BY KELTON BROOKS krbrooks@go.olemiss.edu

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation (NACDS) recently granted The University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy a $50,000 grant to add one position, which will be focused in Funderburk’s Pharmacy in DeSoto County.

“This grant, offered by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation, creates more residency positions for our students after they graduate,” said Leigh Ann Ross, associate dean for clinical affairs and chair of pharmacy practice.

Funderburk’s Pharmacy, a preceptor of the School of Pharmacy that develops programs to provide clinical services, worked with university pharmacy professors to apply for the grant.

“Working with Leigh Ann and Dr. Ashley Ellis through the community pharmacy, we applied for the grant and got the funds to open up another expansion of the community pharmacy residency program,” said Cheryl Sudduth, pharmacist and owner of Funderburk’s Pharmacy.

‘The Retirement Party’ and ‘Grasshopper!’ come to the Oxford Film Festival The Oxford Film Festival is here, bringing exceptional talent from Mississippi. Madison filmmaker/ actor Kevin Broughton and his crew are a part of two films screening at the festival.

BY BLAIR JACKSON sbjackso@go.olemiss.edu

The Oxford Film Festival is this weekend, and Kevin Broughton, a filmmaker and actor in Madison, and his crew are involved in two films screening at the festival.

Broughton has been involved with the films that won the best Mississippi narrative category the last two years and said he hopes to make this year the third.

“It is a thrill to have two films screening at Oxford,” Broughton said. “The Oxford Film Festival is the premier festival in the state.”

Broughton is the associate producer for the film “Grasshopper” and plays the main character, Power Dude, in the film “The Retirement Party.”

“As an actor, it’s been really gratifying to have a part in the last two winners of the best Mississippi narrative award at Oxford the last two years (“Murderabilia,” 2011, “Old Oak,” 2012),” he said.

“It would be a thrill to make it three in a row.”

“Grasshopper!”

A film that can be described as no less than frightening, “Grasshopper!” by SUNDAYDiR Productions is a sure thriller.

The film, written by Ryan Roy and directed by Roy and Michael Usry, uses foreshadowing and does an excellent job of developing the characters.

The film’s two directors are childhood friends from south Jackson. This creative team also wrote/directed “Murderabilia,” which won the best Mississippi narrative award at the 2011 Oxford Film Festival.

This 11-minute film comes well recommended, as it has won awards at two of the three festivals it has entered.

It won the audience choice award at Zom-Bee TV’s “Freakend” in San Antonio in February and best actor ( Jason Thompson) at the Freak Show Horror Film Festival in Orlando last October.

The film also stars “Beverly Hills, 90210” actress Christine Elise McCarthy.

“The Retirement Party” Superheroes and retirement parties don’t normally occur together, but in “The Retirement Party,” they do.

Between the elaborate characters and solid set, you might be surprised to learn

that this film was written and shot in less than 48 hours.

This film was the winner of the Jackson 48 Hour Film Project last August. In this challenge, production teams were each assigned the same prop, character name and line of dialogue (in this case it was “Let me get this straight”). This team, wittily named Eye Suck, drew the genre “fantasy.”

The 8-minute film is shot similarly to NBC’s “The Office” with one-on-one interviews with the main characters.

Of the five actors with speaking parts, three played roles in the James Franco feature film (and adaptation of the Faulkner novel) “As I Lay Dying.” The directors, Ryan Bohling and Chris Bufkin, have an awardwinning short film to their credit, 2012’s “Going Toward Love.”

Since this film won the challenge in Jackson, it will now advance to the national competition at Filmapalooza in Los Angeles in March, making it a must-see this weekend.

‘Grasshopper!’

Softball hosts Red and Blue Classic The Ole Miss softball team will host the Red and Blue Classic, welcoming five teams for a total of 15 games this weekend.

BY ALLISON SLUSHER ajslushe@go.olemiss.edu

After winning the second game of a doubleheader against Southern Miss Wednesday, the Lady Rebels (5-8) look to build on that as they start play in the Red and Blue Classic this weekend. The tournament will consist of 15 games with five different teams including McNeese State (8-5), UT-Martin (5-3), Drake (6-4), Middle Tennessee State (0-5) and Mississippi Valley State (1-7).

“I expect us to come out and continue to grow and continue to get better,” head coach Windy Thees said. “We have a couple of kids in some slumps, and they need to get out of it. I expect us to keep building and keep getting stronger. I also expect lots of wins.”

The team ended with great momentum, which could help them as they open this weekend. In the second game against Southern Miss on Wednesday,

the Rebels’ bats came to life with junior center fielder RT Cantillo and sophomore third baseman Allison Brown combined for the team’s three runs.

Senior pitcher Erinn Jayjohn also added to the momentum when she pitched a completegame shutout, leading the Rebels to victory, but Thees said she wants more from her pitchers.

“We are going to continue to work on driving pitches to both sides of the field, whether it’s inside or outside and just adjusting a little better offensively,” she said. “Pitching-wise we really need to work on hitting those

Rebels to host No. 16 Virginia Saturday It’s going to be an exciting weekend with a lot of athletic events happening in Oxford, including the No. 29 nationally ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team, hosting No. 16 Virginia at the Palmer/ Salloum Tennis Center Saturday for a Noon match.

Admission is free, and fans will have an opportunity to win a free tennis racket like some of the Rebels use.

The Rebels (2-3) are in the midst of a seven-match homestand. They downed then No. 39 Washington 6-1 last Sunday. This will be the final non-conference match for awhile, as the Rebels will turn their attention to the start of Southeastern Conference play next weekend.

“We are very excited to have a quality team like Virginia come to Oxford,” head coach Mark Beyers said.

Hopefully we’ll be able to continue the positive trend we started this past Sunday against Washington and play with the same kind of energy and focus. This will be a great test to get ourselves ready for the SEC schedule starting next week.”

The Rebels are led by junior Caroline Rohde-Moe, who is ranked No. 27 in the country in singles with an 18-7overall record, 4-1 at No. 1 singles. She also teams with freshman Marija Milutinovic for a No. 39 doubles ranking. The two are 11-5 overall and 5-0 in dual matches.

Virginia enters the match at 1-3 overall with all three of their losses coming against top 20 teams. In their last action, the Cavaliers hosted the women’s ITA National Team Indoor. They lost to No. 4 USC, No. 16 Michigan and No. 13 Texas A&M.

No. 8 Diamond Rebels look to remain unbeaten against Rhode Island No. 8 Ole Miss looks to remain unbeaten as it welcomes Rhode Island to Oxford for a three-game series that begins at 4 p.m. today from Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field. First pitch for Saturday’s game is set for 1 p.m., while Sunday’s series finale will begin at noon.

BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu

The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels (4-0) will welcome the Rhode Island Rams (0-3) to Oxford this weekend for their second weekend series of the season.

The Rams were swept this past weekend at No. 19 Florida State, but they took the Seminoles to extra innings in Sunday’s matchup.

“They are a team that is used to doing this,” head coach Mike Bianco said.

“They went to Florida State, a team that’s been in a regional. So I don’t think, like some teams that come down here for the first time, I don’t think they are going to be wowed or intimidated. I think they are going to be a solid team that does a lot of things well.

They are a northern team that we expect to come down here and really compete.”

The Rebels are coming off a 15-2 win over UT-Martin on Wednesday and look to carry that momentum into

for Ole Miss was no bad losses. South Carolina, which has an RPI just inside 200 and is 13-13, changed that. A loss to Auburn, which is now tied with South Carolina for 12th in the SEC, would be another blow to the Rebels’ tournament chances.

Auburn is led by senior guard Frankie Sullivan, who averages 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Ole Miss held him to 3-of-11 shooting and 2-of-9 from three, as Sullivan scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the two teams’ previous meeting.

Ole Miss will have junior right-hander Bobby Wahl (10) on the mound Friday after he won his first outing against TCU in a 1-0 pitchers’ duel.

Wahl gave up three hits with eight strikeouts and three walks in 6.1 scoreless innings.

He will go up against senior right-hander Mike Bradstreet (0-1) of the Rams, who gave up six runs on five hits in 3.1 innings.

Junior right-hander Mike Mayers will get the nod on the mound for the Rebels on Saturday. Mayers earned a no-decision in his first outing. He gave up two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and four walks in 4.2 innings.

Senior right-hander Sean Furney will get the nod for Rhode Island. Furney also earned a no-decision this past weekend, giving up one run on four hits with five strikeouts and seven walks in 4.0 innings.

Ole Miss will send sophomore right-hander Chris Ellis game, scored a game-high 18 points off the bench against Ole Miss. Senior forward Rob Chubb only scored one point for Auburn but grabbed 10 rebounds and had four blocks against the Rebels.

Offensive rebounds have killed Ole Miss as of late. South Carolina grabbed 13 offensive boards on Wednesday night, including eight from Gamecocks freshman forward Michael Carrera. South Carolina’s game-winning three came after an offensive rebound.

At the plate, the Rebels will be led by sophomore center fielder Auston Bousfield, who leads the team with six hits.

Ole Miss will also look to find ways to get junior Preston Overbey into the lineup to get at-bats. Overbey started at second base in Wednesday’s win against UT-Martin and went 2-5 at the plate, driving in two runs and scoring four runs of his own.

Rhode Island is hitting just .213 as a team. Junior infielder Joe Landi and junior catcher/ first baseman Pat Quinn lead the Rams at the plate, hitting .385 and .375, respectively.

OLE MISS lookS to salvage NCAA Tournament hopes After a crippling loss to South Carolina Wednesday, Ole Miss will look to put that behind it and bounce back against the Auburn Tigers Saturday at Tad Smith Coliseum. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. and will be televised by FSN.

Junior guard Marshall Henderson

FILE PHOTO (AUSTIN McAFEE) | The Daily Mississippian

Ole Miss, coming off its worst loss of the season to South Carolina, will look to avoid another bad loss as the Rebels (19-7, 8-5 SEC) host Auburn (9-17, 3-10 SEC) on Saturday.

The Rebels had not lost to a team with an RPI outside of the top 100 until South Carolina upset them Wednesday.

Auburn has an RPI of 217, which is second worst in the SEC. Ole Miss knocked off Auburn on the road on Jan. 26 by a score of 63-61. Sophomore guard LaDarius White scored 17 to lead Ole Miss in scoring, and sophomore point guard Jarvis Summers added 14.

Junior guard Marshall Henderson scored 15 and made two free throws with seven

seconds to give Ole Miss the two-point victory. Henderson popped his jersey in front of the Auburn student section, drawing the ire of Auburn fans and the attention of the national media.

Since that win, Ole Miss has lost four straight on the road and five of seven overall. Ole Miss had jumped up to 16th in the rankings following that win over Auburn, but what looked like an NCAA tournament team has fallen apart.

The Rebels’ two wins since that Auburn win was Mississippi State, which sits in last place in the SEC standings, and an overtime win against a middle-of-the-pack Georgia team.
