UPD looking for suspect in campus hit and run
BY JACOB BATTE thedmnews@gmail.com
The University of Mississippi Police Department is looking for a student involved in a campus hit and run that sent a student to the hospital. University Police Chief Calvin Sellars said UPD has identified a suspect behind the wheel, but no arrest has been made. “We’re going to give him a chance to turn himself in,” Sellars said. “If he hasn’t come in by (today) we’re going to the judge and have a warrant taken out for him.” The incident happened at approximately 1:20 a.m. Saturday in the fraternity parking lot between Sigma Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha, also known as Frat Alley. Anonymous eye-witnesses said they saw the student involved leave the parking lot after a verbal altercation and get into a black Land Rover before returning to the parking lot with an “apparent

If dogs could talk...
BY ANGELA ROGALSKI abbeangela @gmail.com
It has been said that no one loves you like your dog. You can ignore it, forget to feed it, make it sleep outside in the coldest or hottest of temperatures, basically forget its existence and it will still lick your face repeatedly with an unconditional affection that is unmatched, except maybe by your mom. And that comparison is iffy. Dogs are, for the most part, loyal to the end. They can be our companions, our confidantes and our best friends, and how we treat them is insignificant as to how they treat us. They simply love, no questions asked. But how we treat them is significant in the scheme of things; at least, it should be. And it is. That’s why we have organizations like the SPCA and PETA, the Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals International and People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals, respectively. These organizations, combined with a few others, are designed to remind us of our shortcomings when it comes to how we treat other living, breathing species that can’t remind us themselves. If dogs (or any other animal, for that matter) could talk or defend themselves, maybe we wouldn’t need those agencies, and maybe I’d be writing about Kim Kardashian and her latest escapade. But they can’t, we do and I’m not. What I am calling attention to is an article I read at msnbc.com concerning the appalling treatment of sled dogs and the grisly killings of as many as 100 animals that, according to the article, became surplus amid a slumping business. The killings reportedly happened at a tour company in April 2010 following the 2010 Olympic Games in Whistler, British
Columbia. In another article from CTV News, Canada, the gruesomeness of the slaughters is described in vivid detail (which I will refrain from reiterating) and the title of the article is “100 Healthy sled dogs slaughtered in Whistler, B.C.” Healthy! Not sick, not maimed or disabled, but healthy. In the 21st century this type of behavior is unacceptable. The MSNBC article stated that the killings only came to light when a former employee of Howling Dog Tours Whistler Ltd applied for compensation from the Workers’ Compensation Board of British Columbia due to an apparent bout of trauma he suffered because of the abominable task. Imagine that? It was leaked, making the incident public. Since then the Sled Dog Code of Practice, new regulations in British Columbia governing the handling of

sled dogs, has been put into play. It’s described as a small step, but at least it’s one in the right direction. The regulations focus on breeding, training, transportation and the euthanizing of the animals and how euthanizing should never be used to simply “thin” out the population of the dogs. The standards reportedly disappointed some animal advocates, like the Vancouver Humane Society, which wanted to ban sled dog racing altogether. I tend to agree with Vancouver. Using dogs to pull sleds hundreds of years ago may have been practical, but in 2012, I believe we could come up with a more humane solution.

Get closer to God this Lenten season
BY MARGARET ANN MORGAN margaretmorgan221@gmail.com
With yesterday being the first Sunday of Lent, it is only appropriate to write what is first on many people’s minds (other than Spring Break). For some reason, some of my friends think Lent is only observed by Catholics. I’m not Catholic; my whole family is actually Presbyterian. This season is a time for all Christ-believers, even those who do not consider themselves Christian but are wanting to learn more about God and the Church. I love hearing what all people give up during Lent, for humorous purposes and also for motivation. The crowd favorite is usually Diet Coke. Except when you go out, because you have to have something to mix with your Crown Royal. Others give up chocolate, until they have a bad day, which turns into a bad week, then a bad month, and then Lent is over. But in all seriousness, the Lenten season is one of personal and spiritual growth. For people our age, it is sometimes easy to forget the purpose of Lent. It is not to just give up something that is bad for you. This is a time of sacrifice, replaced by prayer and acts that bring one closer to God. There are many ways to celebrate the Lenten season, but one that I enjoy personally is the Lenten Luncheon series at O-U Methodist. These luncheons are held at noon each Wednesday of the Lenten season. This week will begin the series with Bishop Duncan Gray III of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi. The theme of this year’s luncheon series is “Who has influenced your spiritual life?”
Monday Madness Online Code
MADNESS
I can imagine the theme will resonate even outside of the luncheon, for we all have someone that has influenced our spiritual life. The series is a good time of fellowship, music and praise with others participating in Lent, and it is a perfect opportunity to meet members of the Christian community in Oxford. While practicing the sacrifices of the Lenten season, make sure to add something to whatever it is that you sacrifice. If you give up afternoon television, replace it with 30 minutes of devotion. A friend once replaced playing the radio in her car with prayer on her drives — long or short. This is a wonderful season on the Christian calendar, and we should remind ourselves throughout this season and afterward why we make these sacrifices. And if you have that noon lunch break, grab a friend and head down to O-U Methodist for a reminder of the continuous blessings of Lent.

NCAA reform makes sense MINNESOTA DAILY EDITORIAL BOARD U. Minnesota
On Friday, Feb. 17, members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association nearly voted to override a reform that would allow students to receive multiple-year scholarships. Since 1973, student-athletes have only been able to receive scholarships one year at a time. Thankfully, the multiple-year scholarship reform survived, though only by two votes — in fact, the majority of NCAA institutions voted against the reform, not enough to officially override it. Having the option to award student-athletes scholarships for multiple years is a sensible reform, especially in the greed-driven worlds of football and men’s basketball. Right now, each sport functions like a professional league in which a typical player’s “contract” is for one year and $0. With this reform, the typical “contract”
length will expand and at least give players more security. It’s a small step forward but a step nonetheless. Right now, when a university changes coaches or when a player suffers a serious injury, the university is free to drop that student from the ranks of their scholarship players. If a student has a scholarship guaranteed for multiple years, he gets a little more security and control over his fate in a world where college athletes are routinely exploited and manipulated for the benefit of their university while receiving no compensation. The NCAA is riddled with scores of problems, and bigtime college athletics is a corrupt system that takes advantage of young and often poor athletes. Its many problems and exploitative nature prob-
ably will not end until there is an alternative professional avenue for young athletes to partake in where they can receive compensation. In the meantime, putting a little more of the power in the hands of student-athletes is fair and sensible.

An old house finds new ways to attract visitors
QUENTIN WINSTINE | The Daily Mississippian
People frequent Rowan Oak to be immersed in literary history. The curator of William Faulker’s former home is looking to use social media to further increase visibility.
BY LAUREN MCMILLIN lmmcmill@olemiss.edu
Rowan Oak, the fabled home of legendary writer William Faulkner, is a historic landmark, neighborhood park and popular spot for dogs all in one. For decades, Rowan Oak has served as an iconic landmark, attracting visitors from around the world.
This well-known attraction holds a special place in the heart of Oxford and its residents, said William Griffith, Rowan Oak’s curator. “One (purpose) is for visitors outside the Oxford community to come and visit Rowan Oak and Oxford and learn about William Faulkner when he lived here,” he said. “The second thing is it provides people in Ox-
ford a place to visit anytime they want. From sunup to sundown they can come visit the grounds, especially this neighborhood.” While Rowan Oak may be a treasured site for Oxford residents, University of Mississippi students recognize its value too. Lindsay Thomas, a sophomore from Hattiesburg, said she believes Rowan Oak not only has historic meaning, but also sym-
bolic significance. “Rowan Oak to me is a symbol that even from a small town in Mississippi, you can have a great impact,” she said. “With Rowan Oak being in walking distance from campus, it gives us the opportunity to explore and become close to understanding where William Faulkner got his inspirations.” Students and residents alike
have the opportunity to enjoy the land Faulkner left behind, which also provides pet owners a place to bring their canine friends. “After five o’clock, when everyone gets off work, this place is literally turned over to the dogs because people like to walk their dogs here,” Griffith said. “But during the day, when we’re open, it serves as a historic house, interpreting the life of William Faulkner when he lived here. It means a lot to Oxford. It’s Oxford’s most visited site.” This summer will mark the 50th anniversary of Faulkner’s death, and that means new innovations for the historic site. Griffith said social media will become a new marketing strategy to attract visitors to the house. This will allow people to follow updates and announcements more quickly, including news about upcoming events like the memoriam of Faulkner’s death and the festivities that will be going on at Rowan Oak on July 6. In addition to the grounds being open to guests, there will be a marathon reading of some of Faulkner’s works. Visitors can sign up for a slot to read on the UM English department’s website.
Contest aims to bring artistic flare to Student Union BY STEVEN WILD swild18@gmail.com
The University of Mississippi Student Union is set to receive a much-needed makeover at the hands of a diverse group of artistically-gifted students and faculty members from the university.
As part of a larger effort to rejuvenate the Union and its lackluster aesthetic appeal, the Associated Student Body is holding an art contest to determine the submissions showcased in the building. ASB cabinet member Tyler Biggs has been tasked with facilitating the art contest.
He said the student-driven competition is an excellent way to revamp the facility. “The Union is in dire need of some help, and with the current economy and how much money we would have to pay to completely renovate it, it’s just not feasible right now,” he said. Biggs said the ASB members
thought they could extend the project to Ole Miss students, who seem to agree that the art contest showings will add a new, decorative element. “I think it is a great idea to get some student art posted in the Union,” said graduate student Zachary Jarjour. “It is an awesome way for the
many artists at our school to get some recognition and have their work put on display. It will look much better than the framed photos of the Hall of Fame members that are posted on all the walls. It also shows an appreciation for creativity and the arts, which I think should be an important part of any campus’s culture.” Biggs said the contest has already been successful. “We’ve gotten some incredible pictures and really good artwork so far,” he said. “We’re really excited because I wasn’t really expecting to get that much that quick.” The month-long contest, which officially began Feb. 1, will end next Thursday, March 1. After all the submissions have been collected, members of the student body will select some of the best submissions to be displayed in different locations around the Union alongside the winning artists’ biographies. Biggs and others in charge of the Union art contest hope that, in the short term, the competition will bring a newfound sense of style to the unimaginative Union walls. In the longterm, the contest can become an annual display of student talent and creativity in a student center that could use some artistic flavor.

‘Including Samuel’ screened at Oxford Conference Center BY DEVIN HASLOB devin.haslob@gmail.com
Photojournalist Dan Habib’s award-winning documentary “Including Samuel” screened this past Thursday at the Oxford Conference Center Auditorium. The free event was sponsored by parents of inclusion students in Oxford in recognition of inclusion and special education parents, teachers, staff and administrators. Directed and produced by Habib, “Including Samuel” was inspired by his son, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 1. He and his wife, Besty, live in Concord, N.H,. with their two sons, Isaiah and Samuel.
The film focuses on inclusion, or as it used to be known, mainstreaming, which involves the integration of children with disabilities into public schools with other children. It chronicles the efforts of Habib and his family to include Samuel in every aspect of their life and also documents the experiences of other children with disabilities being integrated into public schools across the nation. Nicole Boyd, a mother of an 8-year-old child with highfunctioning autism and a member of the State Special Education Advisory Committee, helped to organize the event with a group of parents whose children are also in an
inclusion setting. “We had heard about this documentary from a number of national organizations, so we thought this would be a great documentary to show to some of our educators and parents in the Oxford City School District,” Boyd said. “We really just wanted to celebrate the work that (the teachers) do in the classrooms.” Patricia Austin, special education director for the Oxford School District, said this was a form of outreach to get people to understand disability. She said there were several films considered, but the parents decided on “Including Samuel.” “I thought it was a great film,” said Amy Moore, a
New updates coming to ASB Constitution BY JON HAYWOOD thedmnews@gmail.com
recycle your DM
The Associated Student Body is working on updating its constitution. The ASB Code and Constitution Committee met from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday to discuss the gray areas of the current ASB Constitution. The committee includes groups that focus specifically on elections and the legislative and executive branches, ranging from non-traditional students to students not cur-
rently involved in the ASB. “We’re looking for ways to make the ASB (Constitution) more clear for the student body,” said Cortez Moss, chairman of the committee. The committee was a recommendation of last year’s ASB Judicial Council. The committee began meeting in February 2011 to begin writing changes to the constitution. Moss said he does not have a vote in exactly what changes are made but does serve as a tie breaker on contentious
issues. “Some of the (committee’s) work is just getting rid of the parts that don’t make sense,” he said. Moss said he expects to have a final draft of the changes some time after Spring Break. The alterations to the ASB Constitution will need to be approved by the ASB Senate. If the Senate approves the changes, the ASB will be operating under the revised constitution as early as January 2013.
speech-language pathologist and a parent of an autistic child. “I particularly liked how it wasn’t just about the school system. It brought in the whole community and the socioeconomic issues involved with people with disabilities.” Moore said she thought showing the film was a good idea to breach the discussion about disability and inclusion. “I have an 8-year-old son with autism,” she said. “We’ve been involved in the trenches, just as the filmmaker has been involved in making the decisions about the right thing to do, and how to open doors.” The film initially debuted in 2007 and has since been
featured in The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, NPR’s “All Things Considered” and “Good Morning America.” Exceptional Parent Magazine called the documentary a “must-see” film, and it was also honored with an Emmy nomination for the 33rd Boston/New England Emmy Awards. Habib has been named New Hampshire Photographer of the Year six times, and he has been a judge of Pulitzer Prizes, Pictures of the Year and Best of Photojournalism. Habib has also taken part in the White House News Photographer’s Association. Habib’s second film, “Who Cares About Kelsey?,” is set to be released in 2012.

Barksdale Awards winners want to travel to China
PHILLIP WALLER | The Daily Mississippian
Cara Thorne and Yi (Ena) Wei are the winners of this year’s Barksdale Awards. They are pictured with Chancellor Dan Jones as they were being honored at the Spring Honors College Convocation.
BY OKSANA DEMCHENKO odemchen@olemiss.edu
At the 2012 Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College Spring convocation, before public radio personality Garrison Keillor even took the stage, the packed crowd had reason to cheer for the two Barksdale Award winners. “The brightest stars have always been our students,” said University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones. Two honors students, Cara Thorne and Ena Wei, were presented with $5,000 awards to complete projects that combine personal meaning and global impact. “We cannot predict how
these awards will benefit the community directly,” said honors college dean Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez. “Experience shows that our students have become ‘change agents’ wherever they go.” Thorne, a sophomore chemistry major, plans to learn Mandarin Chinese and work as a doctor for Asian populations. The Canadian said she decided on this topic after interning at a Toronto hospital, where she encountered a patient who was fluent only in Mandarin Chinese. “We could not tell her that her breast cancer would require mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation,” Thorne said. “The woman became fearful, and I felt powerless to
help her. I vowed then to limit the number of times when I can’t inform and comfort my patients. Many of them will speak only Mandarin Chinese, as the Chinese population in North America will continue to grow.” Thorne said she will rely on her volunteering experience at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford. “Working there, I learned ins and outs of American hospitals,” she said. Thorne plans to learn basic Mandarin and travel to New York in 2013 to interact with the Chinese population and volunteer in New York Downtown Hospital. “Also, I want to set an oncampus group focused on
medical ethics,” she said. “We’ll discuss how cultural divides should be handled in the American health care system.” Sophomore pre-pharmacy major Wei also won the award. She came to the United States at the age of 12 and wants to travel back to her home province of Guangxi, China, to research and preserve the heritage of her great-grandmother’s homemade noodles. “I only met my great-grandmother once,” Wei said. “The main thing I remember is the bowl of noodles. They look ordinary, but they melt in your mouth.” Wei said she will document recipes, interview cooks, record their memories and learn to make specialty noodles herself.
“I have always been a food lover and believed that cooking gives different ethnicities the sense of identity and belonging,” she said. “As a native Mandarin Chinese speaker, I think I can make my interviewees comfortable and efficiently translate their ideas into English.” On her return, Wei said she will organize a “blog for noodles of Guangxi,” providing historical background, recipes with visuals and an index of ingredients. “I have been getting many requests for taste-testing,” Wei said. “If anybody is willing to invest, I would love to open a noodle restaurant in Oxford.” The Barksdale Award encourages students to do independent research outside the safeties of a classroom or library. “This year it was a coincidence that both projects involve the Chinese community,” Sullivan-Gonzalez said. “Our past awardees have worked in Spain, Tanzania, Greece and other countries.” Counting Wei and Thorne, the SMBHC has given 14 Barksdale Awards since the award’s inception in 2005. The Barksdale Award is given once a year during the spring convocation. “I am grateful the university offered this opportunity because this is not something every university (does),” Wei said. “It’s not just doing the practical thing that will offer immediate change; instead, you are encouraged to dare to dream.” To apply for the award, students must submit a project proposal, project budget, resume, transcripts and two letters of recommendation from professors to Deborah Young at dbyoung@olemiss.edu.

vere damage to the grill of the car and to the front head light, according to UPD. Witnesses said the verbal altercation started after the suspect was reportedly confronted while slashing the tires of another vehicle. The reasons behind this altercation could not be determined, nor could UPD determine whether alcohol or drugs were involved. The suspect believed to be driv-
ing may have a prior DUI conviction, according to UPD. Specific charges have not yet been filed. Sellars said he believes reckless driving, fleeing the scene of a crime and aggravated assault are strong possible charges. If charged and convicted, the suspected driver could face up to 12 months in jail and fines extending over $5,000. Dean of Students Sparky Rear-
don said it is too early to tell if the suspect’s status as a student will be affected. “Once we have all of the information, we’ll go through the judicial process,” Reardon said. “Then we will make a decision from there.” While UPD officials only confirmed one suspect, witnesses on the scene claim to have seen multiple assailants.

5-2 win against No. 19 Tulsa. The Rebels (7-4) have won three matches in a row and start Southeastern Conference play with road matches at Auburn and No. 20 Alabama this weekend. “They’re a tough team,” head coach Mark Beyers said of Tulsa. “I thought we started off really well in doubles and played with a lot of energy. They came back and challenged us, but we hung on and won the point there. We won some close sets in singles. Kristi’s second set was crucial, and obviously the second set with Julia was crucial. All of a sudden the momentum swings our way. Those little momentum changes in a match that, in the end, determine the outcome.” Ole Miss and Tulsa split the first two matches in doubles

Freshman Erin Stephens, last week’s SEC Freshman of the Week, hit back-to-back winners to close out an 8-5 win at No. 2 doubles to clinch the doubles points.

We’re excited to get a win against a team ranked higher than us.” Ole Miss and Tulsa split the remaining two singles matches, as Guthrie rallied from down a set and won the match in a third set tiebreaker 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(3). FRIDAY: No. 24 Ole Miss 7, Southern Miss 0 While the weather conditions were not ideal to christen the newly renovated Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center Friday afternoon, the nationally ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team (6-4) battled the 20-30 mph wind gusts and the 50 degree weather to sweep Southern Miss (1-5) 7-0. “I thought we competed well on every court,” Beyers said. “Again, with the conditions the way they were it is hard to play great tennis, but I don’t think
we did anything really bad. I thought we competed hard. I thought we didn’t let ourselves get beat by the conditions, where you can get so frustrated with the wind that you can’t play.” The Rebels clinched the doubles point with 8-2 wins at No. 2 doubles and No. 3 doubles. Boxx did not play in the match, so freshman Erin Stephens and senior Gabby Rangel moved up to No. 1 doubles and won 8-4 to complete the sweep of the doubles matches. In singles, the Rebels won all six singles matches in straight sets. In the absence of Boxx, sophomore Caroline RohdeMoe, the No. 74 singles player in the nation, played at the No. 1 spot and won 6-1, 6-1. “I know she is capable of that,” Beyers said. “For her, I knew it wouldn’t be that big of a difference. It is something that from a confidence stand point from her, she knows that she can step up and dictate at that spot as well. “It was a lot of fun trying to play number one for the first time,” said Rohde-Moe, adding that she did not feel any additional pressure. “It is just like any other match, it was just fun.” Guthrie finished won 6-0, 6-1 at No. 4 singles, followed by Stephens 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2 singles. Freshman Julia Jones clinched the match for Ole Miss with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 3 doubles. The Rebels completed the shutout with a 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 5 singles by sophomore Vivian Vlaar and a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 6 singles by freshman Iris Verboven. Beyers said he can’t wait for more fans to come out and see the tennis center because it is one of the premier college tennis complexes. “It is awesome, I can’t wait for everything to be ready,” he said. “I think its been a long time coming and to see it kind of coming together is awesome.” Austin Miller and Cain Madden contributed to this report.

sports briefs Rebels Drop Regular-Season Finale After the Rebels led by as many as 13 points during the game, the Ole Miss women’s basketball team saw the Auburn Tigers take their first lead of the game with 1:51 remaining, as the Tigers came from behind to post the 46-43 win. With the loss, Ole Miss ended the regular season 12-17 (2-14 SEC) while Auburn improved to 13-16 (4-11 SEC). Ole Miss will be the No. 12 seed in this week’s SEC Tournament. Nikki Byrd led Ole Miss with 17 points while Valencia McFarland added 10. Danielle McCray recorded a team-best 10 rebounds.
Rebels Finish Fourth At GARC Championships The Ole Miss rifle team wrapped up a successful 2011-12 season Sunday at the Patricia C. Lamar National Guard Readiness Center in the final day of the Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) Championships. “I was very pleased with the weekend,” head coach Valerie Boothe said. “I think our team score was one point off our record, so I can’t be disappointed at all.” Producing a team score of 4653, Ole Miss finished fourth overall at the Championships.
Bruning, Ladner Lead Rebels At Islander Classic CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Ole Miss offense pounded out 10 hits, including home runs from Kendall Bruning and Londen Ladner, and Bruning allowed only five hits in the circle as the Rebels run-ruled Texas-San Antonio 12-2 in five innings in the first game of the Islander Classic hosted by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Friday. The Rebels dropped game two, 7-4, to the host Islanders. Sophomore RT Cantillo led the team with five hits and four runs scored on the day, while senior Corrine Doornberg added three hits and scored three runs and Ladner had a team-best six RBI. The Rebels’ Saturday games versus Texas Southern and Texas-San Antonio at the Best Western Grand Marina Islander Classic were canceled due to inclement weather in the Corpus Christi area.

co said. “He was very dominant with his slider, struck out five of the first six, and we scored five, and at that point you thought we were going to have a comfortable day, but you have to credit UNC-Wilmington because when we stopped putting pressure on offensively, they started putting pressure on us. We have to have a little more focus.” For the second day in a row, Ole Miss got on the board first. Snyder cleared the bases with a three-run double off the wall in right-center in the first. “Coach Bianco said before the game that we needed to come out here and have someone give them a smack in the mouth, that big hit to get the game going,” he said. “So I got up with the bases loaded, and I really wanted to make sure I did what he told me to do. Any time you get bases loaded in the first inning, and you’re able to clear them — that’s a big momentum keeper for the team.” PLAYER OF THE GAME: Henry scored his 1000th career point and finished with 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting, to go along with two rebounds, an assist, a block and two steals.
The Rebels added to their lead in the next inning when Yarbrough scored Mathis and freshman outfielder Senquez Golson with a 2-RBI single to make it 5-0. UNC-Wilmington got to within one with a run in the fifth and three runs in the sixth. The Rebels pushed across an insurance run in the sixth on an RBI double by Bousfield to score Golson. Freshman right-hander Casey Mulholland, junior lefthander Dylan Chavez and Huber pitched a combined three and one-third scoreless innings in relief of Hively. FRIDAY: OLE MISS 2 UNC-WILMINGTON 0 Sophomore Bobby Wahl (10) pitched seven scoreless innings, holding the Seahawks to one hit with two walks and nine strikeouts as No. 20 Ole Miss took the opening game 2-0 on Friday. “I thought the story of the game was Bobby,” Bianco said. “He was just tremendous. He pitched much more like we thought he was capable of pitching week in and week out.”

Brett Huber pitched a combined two scoreless innings and recorded his second and third saves of the season this weekend and passed Scott Bittle for third on the career save list at Ole Miss.
“It was good to get out here in front of the home crowd,” Wahl said. “The biggest thing is you have to settle in and just continue to throw strikes and then let your defense work, and they did a great job today.” Early on in the game it looked like both offenses would have some success, with both teams putting runners on base early. However, both pitchers settled in and limited the scoring opportunities for both teams. Ole Miss got on the board
first in the third. Mathis singled up the middle and then stole second, and Yarbrough followed with a single to shallow center to score Mathis. The Rebels added an insurance run on an RBI single to right by Bousfield to score Mathis from second, who reached on a two-base error. Chavez and Huber came on in relief for Wahl and pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth to close out the series-opening win for Ole Miss.
with two free throws in the first half. He also joined Rahim Lockhart as only the second player in school history to reach 1,000 points and 100 blocks in a career. “I was happy to get to 1,000 points, but I was even happier to get the win,” Henry said. Williams said Saturday’s game was about getting the frustration of the past few games out. “We’ve been angry, man, because (coach Kennedy) has been challenging us and challenging us over and over again,” he said. “Practice has been real tough.” Ole Miss shot 46.9 percent (23-of-49) from the field, including 4-of-7 from behind the arc. The Rebels, who have struggled from the free throw line, were 22-of-34 from there
Saturday. On the defensive end, Ole Miss held LSU to its lowest scoring output of the season, forced 15 turnovers and held the Tigers to just 31 percent (18-of-58) from the field and 17.4 percent (4-of-23) from behind the arc. LSU’s frustrations boiled over in the second half when head coach Trent Johnson was ejected from the game after back-to-back technical fouls.

No. 20 Diamond Rebels rally to sweep UNC-Wilmington
ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian
Junior second baseman Alex Yarbrough rounds the bases in Saturday’s 6-4 win against UNC-Wilmington. Yarbrough went a combined 5-for12 this weekend, including a solo home run Sunday, and currently leads the team with a .385 batting average and nine RBI this season.

SUNDAY: OLE MISS 10 UNC-Wilmington 5 No. 20 Ole Miss (5-1) pounded out 16 hits and rallied from being down 5-4 to complete the
series sweep Sunday with a 10-5 win against UNC Wilmington (2-5). “I thought we played much better today,” head coach Mike Bianco said. “It was a much better offensive day — a lot more quality at bats. Even though we
scored four early and then there was a couple zeros up, I thought today we had much better at bats with runners in scoring position.” The Rebels again jumped out to an early lead with four runs in the first. Junior outfielder
Tanner Mathis and Auston Bousfield reached base on a walk and hit-by-pitch to start the inning, and senior designated hitter Matt Snyder and junior third baseman Andrew Mistone followed with back-toback RBI singles to score them. Senior Zach Kirksey doubled the lead with a 2-RBI double to left-centerfield. UNC-Wilmington grabbed its first lead of the weekend at 5-4 with a five-run fifth inning against sophomore right-hander Mike Mayers, who gave up five runs on six hits with two walks and four strikeouts in five innings. “Mike was terrific,” Bianco said. “It happens; it’s baseball. It is a crazy game, and you can have a no-hitter and the next thing you know they have five runs.” Ole Miss tied the game in the bottom of the inning with a RBI single by sophomore catcher Will Allen to score Snyder, who reached on a leadoff single. The Rebels added two more runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and two in the eighth, highlighted by junior second baseman Alex Yarbrough’s solo
home run in the eighth. Freshman right-hander Chris Ellis (1-0) came on in relief for Mayers with the score tied at five and pitched three hitless innings to earn the win, the first of his career. “I’m proud of him,” Bianco said. “He was strong, he pounded the strike zone, he’s got a fastball and a strong breaking ball. He was very composed and did great.” The Rebels will continue their 13-game home stand against Memphis on Tuesday (3 p.m.) and Jackson State on Wednesday (6:30 p.m.). SATURDAY: OLE MISS 6 UNC-WILMINGTON 4 No. 20 Ole Miss clinched the weekend Saturday with a 6-4 win against UNC-Wilmington. Senior right-hander R.J. Hively (1-0) struck out a career-high nine batters in five and twothirds innings and junior right hander Brett Huber passed Scott Bittle for third all-time at Ole Miss with his third save of the season, the 19th of his career. “R.J. was terrific early,” BianSee BASEBALL, PAGE 11
Rebels get revenge in rout of LSU BY DAVID HENSON dahenson@olemiss.edu
PHILLIP WALLER | The Daily Mississippian
Senior forward Terrance Henry drives to the basket in Saturday’s 72-48 win against LSU. Henry scored a game-high 21 points.
Entering Saturday’s game, Ole Miss and LSU were two teams headed in opposite directions. The Rebels had lost three games in a row and five of their last six. The Tigers, on the other hand, had won four in a row and five of their last six. Ole Miss looked to turn things around and get some revenge for the 81-55 beating they took in Baton Rouge to open Southeastern Conference play back in January. Ole Miss (16-12, 6-8 SEC) grabbed the early lead and only added to its lead in the second half as the Rebels returned the favor and routed the LSU Tigers (17-11, 7-7) 72-48 on Saturday. “I thought we were really good out of the gate, and See BASKETBALL, PAGE 11
