Creator. The company is run by two current Ole Miss students. The owners, founders and twin brothers Michael and Stephen Greer got their start at their own 16th birthday party. The Clinton natives turned the building where they practiced pole vaulting, nicknamed The Vault, into a personal party venue, hiring a DJ and planned the event themselves. “It was a huge success. All of our friends came. We probably had two or three hundred people show up,” Stephen Greer said. “After that hap-
pened we thought, ‘This is something we can do.’” After researching equipment and digging for loose change in all places imaginable, the brothers were finally able to acquire all the gear they felt was necessary to reproduce their 16th birthday party. “We literally pulled pennies out of sock drawers and off the floors of our cars and trucks and put it all into a pile and said, ‘Alright, this is how much money we have to make an investment in some lights.

Nightlife in Oxford has always been a loud ordeal. From parties on campus to bars on the Square, noise radiates from places all around town, and chances are, Vault Entertainment is there. Vault is a premier entertainment company in Oxford, providing the University and other surrounding areas with anything from fraternity parties to big-scale concerts with internationally recognized artists such as Ace Hood, Rae Sremmurd and Tyler, The
The University of Mississippi’s annual Black History Month celebration begins with a kick-off event at 4 p.m., today at Fulton Chapel. The event features Grisham Writer-in-Residence Kiese Laymon as the keynote speaker and includes remarks from Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter and a presentation of the “Lift Every Voice” awards by Donald Cole, assistant provost and assistant to the chancellor for multicultural affairs. “The Black History Month Committee has worked diligently to put together an excellent series of programs for this year,” Cole said. Both students and faculty put together the lineup for the rest of the month across multiple campus departments, according to Shawnboda Mead, director of the Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement. “We essentially put a callout to the campus saying and inviting people to submit programs for the campus live calendar,” Meade said. “So, we have a really nice comprehensive offering of programs this month, even more than we had last year.” George Worlasi Kwasi Dor, professor of music and McDonnell-Barksdale Chair of Ethnomusicology, said when he first came to Ole Miss in 2001, he realized the music department was not playing a large role in the celebration of Black History Month, so he began black history concerts. Dor is also the founding director of Ole
Miss African Drum and Dance Ensemble. “Annually, I coordinate, I will identify the groups or individuals within the University,” Dor said. “And if I have sufficient funds I will bring performances from outside to come and join us, so it has been a huge event on campus.” Dor said he felt, culturally, black history has been perceived as only African-American history instead of the history of all black peoples. “This is a philosophical question. Of course Black History Month belongs to African-Americans, of course we should know their history, the racism behind it,” Dor said. “But given my position as an African, as a black and an Africanus, I initiated these Black History Month concerts.” The theme for Dor’s concert each year is “Love shapes diversity.” The month’s activities include film screenings, the Black Student Union’s Third Annual Black History Month Gala, a Sankofa African-American Museum on Wheels and a Sister2Sister leadership retreat, which will address issues that impact African-American women. “It just reminds everyone that we have to be inclusive,” Telisha Dionne Bailey, professor of history and African-American studies said. “As a historian, often, history is written from certain perspectives. I think what happens with Black History Month is for us to appreciate a culture, a group, but to also say, ‘We are bringing in everyone.’ We are celebrating people, but that it is inclusive of everyone.”

Since the Disney renaissance began with the rise of “The Little Mermaid,” Disney princesses have gained skills and independence, becoming true, modern women. However, many have gained these traits at the cost of their voices. Carmen Fought and Karen Eisenhauer created a project looking at who has the most dialogue in Disney princess films. Despite “Snow White,”
HOLLY BAER opinion editor thedmopinion@gmail.com
“Cinderella” and “Sleeping Beauty” being hopeless, dated and misogynistic, women spoke most of the words in each film. Since the Disney Renaissance, only two films have had women speaking at least 50 percent of the dialogue: “Tangled” and “Brave.” “Tangled” features a female protagonist and antagonist where women only manage 52 percent of the dialogue. “Brave,” which is focused on a mother-daughter relationship, came in with a whopping 74 percent. Even “Frozen,” the utter phenomenon featuring two female protagonists, only has women speaking 41 percent of the dialogue. What does this mean? Modern Disney women are more skilled and distinctive that their predecessors, but their voices and opinions continue to be placed on the back burner in their own films. Beyond the protagonists,
there are few female background characters. Disney continues to perpetuate the idea that the default person is male. The majority of Disney sidekicks are male. The only notable female sidekicks with dialogue are Mrs. Potts in “Beauty and the Beast” and Charlotte LaBouff in “The Princess and the Frog.” The various people the princesses interact with are male. There’s nothing wrong with men being involved. Men can and should be characters in Disney Princess films, but not at the cost of women. Pixar films are incredibly male-dominated. There is only one Pixar film with a female protagonist. Disney princess films shouldn’t have to be gender equitable when other Disney films are already so unequal. It’s ridiculous that women have to fight for dialogue in films that are built around
women and produced with young girls in mind (which in itself is problematic). It’s wonderful that Ariel is spunky and rebellious and that Tiana is a young entrepreneur. But those traits cannot come at the expense of their voices. As a young girl, I wasn’t particularly attached to Disney Princesses. I was fond of Belle for her intellectualism and love of books, but men have 71 percent of the dialogue. Gaston would be ecstatic! I don’t have the ability to make Disney get its act together and give young women examples to follow. They’ve made great strides, but I don’t think they deserve a standing ovation for daring to give princesses skills and personality. Holly is a religious studies major from Flowood.

Attendees of the food truck fair wait in line to get a Yoknapataco.
YOKNAPALOOZA continued from page 1
growing part of Oxford’s cultural scene, with support from the arts council. Now, just months after the introduction of Oxford’s first food truck, Yoknapataco, there are four consistently operating food trucks in town. Wayne Andrews, Yoknapatawpha Arts Council director said he hopes by the time of the second Yoknapalooza, there will be even more food trucks involved. “These food trucks and artists here represent what’s going on culturally in Oxford right now,” Andrews said. “We’re highlighting our talented neighbors.” Participating bands included Galaxy Hotel Band, an acoustic
group from Dallas, Texas and Oxford-based Reels. Students, locals and out-of-towners alike danced, ate and browsed art galleries. The event featured several of Oxford’s food trucks, including Yoknapataco. This event was not the art council’s first collaboration with the taco truck, however. In August 2015, the council threw the taco truck a “birthday party” on its inaugural night. The truck served around 500 people that night, according to Yoknapataco cook Ethan Boutwell. Sunday, the Yoknapataco crew expected to feed 100 attendees. They offered their regular menu, with a $5 meal specifically for the event. During the week, Yoknapataco cooks outside Funky’s Bar from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. and cycles through lunch locations daily.
The arts council is already planning the next Yoknapalooza, scheduled for the fall, and has included food trucks in their lineup for this April’s Mississippin’ event. “These events are just as much about community building and interaction as they are about the food itself,” Andrews said. The arts council threw 325 events this year, all with the goal of encouraging community networking and development. Andrews said a strong arts community is essential to a town like Oxford. In fact, for the past year, national nonprofit organization Americans for the Arts has been surveying Oxford to track the growing arts culture. Out of the 300 cities surveyed, Oxford was the only one in Mississippi.
Let’s make it happen,’” Michael Greer said. “So, we did.” Their first event had between two and three hundred people in attendance, and marked the beginning of a long series of what they call “Vault Parties.” The Greer brothers continued to host these parties throughout their time in high school. Each event was a major success, and as they headed off to Ole Miss, they knew it was time to take a different approach. “We had this itching urge to take this entertainment company up into Oxford, and just be able to provide the DJ, the band, and other services for big fraternity and sorority events,” Stephen Greer said. “Freshman year, when we got up to Oxford, we kind of just hit the ground running.” Vault did just that. “There has been a lot of sweat, late nights and loud music over the course of 2015,” said William Ault, a close partner and friend to the Greers and Vault Entertainment. “Going from three people to a team of 20 – it’s been
a pretty amazing learning experience in general.” The company has gone from doing small-scale events to big headlining acts such as Riff Raff and Waka Flocka Flame. They have the equipment, manpower and expertise to produce four concert-grade shows in a night, and if you ask them, that’s just the beginning. “We want to have a branch of Vault Entertainment at every SEC school,” Michael Greer said. “We want to do the large-scale local festivals like the ‘Double Deckers.’ The third goal would be corporate events, assisting corporations in large-scale conferences and events. Things of that nature.” Although the Greers didn’t intend to make a career out of Vault Entertainment originally, they’ve gained a new perspective since their 16th birthday party. “It has gone from a hobby, to a small business, to what I plan on doing full time,” Stephen Greer said. “We are a very legitimate business, but, five years ago, if you would have asked me if Vault Entertainment was going to be a corporation I would have laughed in your face and said ‘I’m just enjoying being a DJ.’”

“A Little Life” is a big commitment, but not for obvious reasons. At 720 pages, Hanya Yanagihara’s second novel (after 2013’s “The People in the Trees”) is compulsively readable. Yanagihara casts a potent spell, crafting characters for whom we care and ache and who always seem to be a pageflip away from slipping through our fingers. I burned through “A Little Life” with a blend of anxiety, dread, awe and delight. The premise initially feels well-traveled: four 20-something-year-old friends, formerly college roommates, scraping by and dreaming big in New York. Willem is an aspiring actor, JB an aspiring artist, Malcolm an aspiring architect, Jude a lawyer with a degree in mathematics. The novel follows them over
a discomfiting mirror to our contemporary angst. Yanagihara treats all her characters, even the most self-absorbed, with compassion, but some of their concerns (and ours) – At what point does pursuing one’s dreams become irresponsible? – seem trivial in the light of Jude’s experience. There is something Gatsby-esque in Jude’s determination to build a life for himself – any life but the one he tries to leave behind him. My quibbles with this novel are few. Malcolm’s perspective is abandoned fairly early. The wild success of all four friends’ careers tested my suspension of disbelief. Descriptions of Jude’s compulsive behaviors, and of the friends’ endless cycle of parties, dinners and globe-hopping vacations, eventually grow repetitive. (If there were any fat to trim from the novel’s length, it would be here.) None of this greatly lessens the book’s hypnotic pull. This is a book that merits its own support group. There were moments when I wanted to throw my copy across the room, when Yanagihara’s unrelenting vision of human struggle felt sadistic. At times my relationship to the book felt toxic, as if I were reaching out again and again to a suffering loved one who refused to accept help. Yanagihara pulls the reader into a kind of codependency: despite the pain it entails, it is incredibly difficult to stop reading, to stop caring. The pain never quite stops seeming worthwhile. “A Little Life” is one of the most powerful explorations I have read of love’s survival in the face of unbelievable trauma and loss. Its greatest strength (and also its sharpest blow) is that it finally does not oversell love’s power to save us from ourselves.

an unforgettable protagonist. Jude cherishes his friends, but he cannot share himself entirely with them. His past, his unexplained physical handicaps and even his racial background are compelling mysteries. Gradually, Yanagihara allows us deeper and deeper inside the sanctum of Jude’s past. This is both a privilege and a torment. The reader should be prepared to let Jude’s voice – unassuming, self-effacing but completely indelible – burrow inside their heads and stay there for a long time after the book is over. Jude, JB, Willem and Malcolm offer insight on friendship, personal ambition and the anxieties of growing up, themes many recent novels (e.g., Zadie Smith’s “NW;” Jennifer Egan’s “A Visit From the Goon Squad”) have tackled with similar elegance; but Jude, with his extraordinary history and apparent lack of ego, holds

Saiz will likely return some time in the next week, which will help a great deal, but more obstacles lie ahead. Any team will struggle when it is down three starters, but in the Rebels’ case, depth was already an issue, which makes injuries an even tougher task.

Four of Ole Miss’ next six games are on the road, including one in College Station against No. 5 Texas A&M. Their RPI is currently 100 and their strength of schedule is outside the top 100.

Scoring deficit proves detrimental against Mizzou JIMMY ANDESON
Jbander2@go.olemiss.edu
The Lady Rebels fell 60-46 to Missouri on Sunday afternoon in the Pavilion. The second quarter proved to be Ole Miss’ downfall; they scored a total of 3 points. It was the lowest single quarter this whole year in women’s college basketball. That period set the tone for the Lady Rebels the rest of the game as they went on to only muster 46 points. “We didn’t make enough shots to win the game. We got a lot of great looks,” Head Women’s Basketball Coach Matt Insell said. “I hurt for our players because they played really, really hard. We got beat by a really good team, but they played extremely hard.” In Ole Miss’ last home win over then-No. 9 Kentucky, the Lady Rebels were able to make shots to put away Kentucky and seal the upset. In Sunday’s loss to Missouri, Ole Miss went stone cold from the field. They shot 24 percent in the game. It was their lowest shooting percentage this year. The Lady Rebels’ three best
shooters— Shaquilla Joseph, A’Queen Hayes and Shaquilla Joseph— went a combined 14of-48. Shandrika Sessom finished with 20 points. Joseph and Hayes both scored 3 points each. The deficiencies on the offensive end still provided Ole Miss with a lead into halftime by a score of 19-18 while only shooting 22 percent. A big part of the lead was the fact that the Lady Rebels turned Missouri over 17 times and 25 for the entire game. “You force a team into 25 turnovers and you have eight, you should win a basketball game,” Insell said. “We held a Missouri basketball team to 60. You got to win that basketball game. You got to win it.” Missouri got it going in the second half. Sierra Michelis and Jordan Frericks scored 15 and 17 points respectively in that half alone. Ole Miss consistently lost Michelis as she burned them from the threepoint line. It allowed Missouri to extend the lead out to 43-34 at the end of the third quarter, eventually allowing the Lady Tigers to pull away in the fourth quarter to
seal the win. Michelis finshed the day with 20 points and Jordan Frericks with 17 points. Missouri started the first seven games last year 1-6 and ended up finishing at 7-9 in the league, tied with Ole Miss. After Sunday’s game, Insell used that to motivate his squad through their tough stretch. “I’ve used Missouri’s start last year with our team,” Insell said, “Look you’re going to break through and you’re going to push through and you’re going to make something special happen with this basketball team.” “You cannot let your record define who you are, and you can’t let this game define who you are right now, because you are a lot better than your record is.” Ole Miss finished the last game of a brutal five-game stretch, each against ranked teams. They will not play a ranked team again until Texas A&M on Feb. 15. The Lady Rebels sit at 10-11 and 2-6 in conference play and have time to make amends for a rough first-half slate. Ole Miss plays next at Alabama on Thursday at 6 p.m.
