Members of the Men of Excellence student group held a memorial walk Thursday visiting historical, racial landmarks across campus. “Basically, the event was a reminder of the struggle and opposition James Meredith was greeted with during his attempt to be the first African-American student here at the University,” Kweisi Fountain, a freshman business major and member of Men of Excellence, said. “We walked to each historical part of campus that was in relation to the processes of having James Meredith admitted in the University. At each location, we were told exactly why it was so significant and what happened here.”

The Oxford Police Department issued 46 tickets for a “corner cutting” violation were issued during the month of January.

Multiple students received tickets specifically at the intersection of Anderson Road and Jackson Avenue.

A stoplight that once regulated the busy intersection has been removed, and now drivers have resorted to cutting through a nearby parking lot in order to cross onto Jackson Avenue because of the difficulty of making a left turn.

The code of ordinances for the City of Oxford lists the violation in Section 102-446, which prohibits using parking lots without the intention of coming to a full stop. Violation of this ordinance results in a ticket with a fine of $186.

Jeff McCutchen, major of operations at the Oxford Police Department, said the stoplight at the intersection of Anderson and Jackson was taken out a few months ago to ease the congestion of left lane traffic. He recommends drivers either be patient and wait for traffic to ease so that they can cross, or go to Heritage Drive and take a left to

get to Jackson Avenue, rather than speed through the small strip mall parking lot.

“It’s illegal to cut through a parking lot to avoid an intersection,” McCutchen said.

“You’ve got five or six businesses there and they’re concerned about their customers walking. The simple thing would be to look at a different avenue, because you don’t want to hit someone and you don’t want to have a wreck.”

With many UM students housing projects near Anderson Road, such as The Hub, The Retreat and Lafayette Place, such an obstruction can negatively affect the daily commute for students.

Third-year law student Jonathan Gosnell said because the intersection is very rarely completely clear and there is no turn lane, the removal of the stoplight poses more of a problem than a solution to drivers.

Gosnell is not the only student speaking out about being affected.

“Anderson is the easiest route to campus or Park and Ride for me, and since the removal of the traffic light last spring, the intersection is frequently gridlocked,” Rachael Cooper, senior English major, said. “I didn’t realize that going through the parking lot

UM students protest international trade agreement

MORGAN WALKER

Members of 12 nations signed one of the largest multinational trade deals, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, in New Zealand on Thursday. The nations included Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam.

The TPP deal, which covers roughly 40 percent of the world economy, will go through a ratification period of two years and the final text must be approved before the deal will go into effect.

As part of a widespread inter-

national grassroots movement against the TPP, freshman public policy leadership major Jaz Brisack organized the “Say No to the TPP” rally. The rally was held in the Grove on Thursday as an effort to impact public perception on this issue. This protest was just one of thousands held across the world in conjunction with the international movement, Flush the TPP. The pact is organized to deepen economic ties between the 12 nations, slash tariffs and boost trade growth with the possibility of creating a single market operation. Tariffs on US manufactured goods and most US farm products will disappear almost

immediately after the deal is ratified. Competition between the countries’ labor forces will increase, which many Americans fear will relocate jobs from the US to developing countries.

“It’s important to have a conversation about this issue to show people it should be a major part of the discussion,” Brisack said. “The issues the TPP brings up can impact people in their everyday lives, and I want to help educate people about these issues.”

According to Brisack, the impacts of the TPP are infinite and not limited to any particular

COLUMN

The dangerous appeal of Bernie Sanders ANDREW HAYES

thedmopinion@gmail.com

In this election cycle, I’ve seen candidates rise and fall, gaining a superior position above the fray before losing their dominance within a half-dozen news cycles.

However, there seems to be one candidate who has seen a sustained and meteoric rise: Bernie Sanders.

Despite the fact that he would be the oldest president in history, his largest supporters are college students.

I can safely say, in no uncertain terms, that I have never felt more ashamed to be a college student than Monday night when I beheld a sea of liberal arts students waving signs and chanting for a socialist septuagenarian.

Bernie Sanders has said that the American public is tired of the same old ideas.

I wholeheartedly agree, but Sanders seems to think that THE DAILY

his brand of progressivism is a novel idea.

Is there any better epitome of old ideas than a 74-year-old socialist?

Socialism (and I cannot state this forcefully enough) is a failed ideology.

Every nation that has bitten from the apple of socialism has ended up regretting it.

Socialism nearly destroyed Europe’s economy (just ask the Greeks how well free college tuition is working out), bankrupted their future, and shattered society’s foundations by fostering dependence on government.

Even the spending-happy nations of Scandinavia have had to run back to capitalism to save their economies from the brink.

Only college students could get behind socialism as its remnants fall: one would have to be educated to make a decision that foolish.

Second, Sanders continually blames the rich for society’s

ills.

It is supremely hypocritical of Sanders to claim that greed is our nation’s biggest problem while demanding a 90-percent upper limit on income taxes.

Moreover, his poorly-informed disdain for the wealthy is misplaced.

The wealthy are the engines of our economy, not some mustachioed cadre out to extort us.

What Bernie and his ilk fail to understand is almost all jobs are created by people who make more than $250,000 a year.

They are the ones who take the risk, put in the longest hours to get a company off the ground and accept all the responsibility when they fail.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t people who distort and abuse the system — there certainly are.

However, blaming honest and profitable employers shows a knowledge of eco-

Even free college tuition, the centerpiece of Bernie’s marketing strategy to students, will only drive our government deeper into debt and make bachelor’s degrees as worthless as a high school diploma, thereby shutting more people from the job market.

To my fellow college students: quit thinking about yourselves and measuring a candidate’s fitness by how much of other people’s money he is willing to give you.

I leave you with a quote by Winston Churchill: “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”

Words we would do well to remember in this election.

continued from page 1 group. This deal will impact food safety and labeling, workers’ rights, copyright laws, consumers, small businesses and the environment, Brisack said.

Brisack said she is hopeful her efforts will influence global change. Her goal beyond this protest is to start a chapter of Popular Resistance to give students an outlet to become involved in similar issues, Brisack said.

“I’m excited to see where this leads; I think it has the potential to be a dynamic organization for change. I don’t know how much can come of this, but I do know big policy inputs can come from the smallest things,” Brisack said. “I want people to realize this is just one manifestation of a policy system and it’s not that difficult to raise awareness and start a coalition, it can really be done by anyone.”

Journalism professor Joseph Atkins informed the group of the impact the TPP will have on all individuals, as well as the lack of transparency that loomed over this deal.

“This deal was done in secret by 600 lobbyists, and there is no remission of human rights in that document,” Atkins said.

“Most of the chapters in this deal are devoted to corporate rights, but what about human rights or government sovereignty?”

Atkins said this issue has been swept under the rug and hasn’t been focused on nearly enough.

“There is no reportage of the TPP in the media or on the presidential debate stages,” Atkins said.

Atkins also compared the effects of the TPP to the North American Free Trade Agreement, describing it as the ‘baby NAFTA.’” Atkins urged members in attendance to get involved by con-

Sophomore public policy and leadership major Malik Pridgeon was unaware of the issues existing with the TPP, but after the rally, he said he is eager to spread the word.

“I had no clue about the TPP, but now I realize it’s a scary task taking on corporate entities,” Pridgeon said.

Just before 8 a.m. on January 28, Cooper pulled through the parking lot with another vehicle in front of her. Neither had reached the stop sign at the end of the parking lot before being flagged down by a police officer and told to pull over, cut their cars off and wait to be cited. They became two of 18 corner cutting tickets were issued in the Oxford area that day.

“There were about six other vehicles already stopped and being cited,” Cooper said.

“I’ve never been ticketed for anything before, and had I known that counted as cutting a corner, I wouldn’t have done it.”

Cooper said she’d love for the Anderson Road traffic light to be put back, but understands that most likely will not happen.

“Regardless of what solution is taken, I do not think the city should enforce the tickets given out during their operations last week,” Gosnell said.

“They are looking to profit off a bad situation they created in the first place, and the act of first making the intersection nearly unworkable and then heavily fining people for going through the lot out of necessity reeks of exploitation. If it’s really a matter of keeping order, then make it known that people on Anderson are best off detouring through Heritage.”

UM Museum displays work of renowned fine art quilter BERNARD BLISSETT

bblisset@go.olemiss.edu

The University of Mississippi Museum is presenting a 58-piece exhibition of Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry’s award-winning fine art quilts from Jan. 26 to April 16.

This exhibition will cover her major works spanning over 40 years, including her first quilt— made in 1976.

Fallert-Gentry is known internationally for her quilts, which have appeared in various corporate, public and private collections all over the U.S. (including six pieces in the National Quilt Museum) and in various other countries.

According to the museum’s director, Robert Saarnio, her work’s quality and reputation were factors in her pieces being presented at Ole Miss.

“Once we started looking at [Fallert-Gentry’s] body of work,” Saarnio said, “it was apparent how nationally celebrated she is. These quilts are fine art and they are beyond what most people have in their minds quilting.”

COURTESY: UM MUSEUM

Fallert-Gentry’s art pieces are also well-known for their

vibrant colors and textures, elements she developed at an

early age.

“I’ve been painting since I was 10,” Fallert-Gentry said.

“And I put a lot of texture in my paintings, which gave me very vibrant colors. I liked the textures, the colors and the graphic quality I could get out of the medium.”

These qualities all became part of her eye-catching style, which evokes mystery, excitement and joy within her work.

All of these elements crafted into her pieces are inspired by her travels, her everyday life and her imagination.

“When you see a work of art like Caryl’s, which are very skillfully created, that moment of inspiration creates a spark,” Saarnio said.

Fallert-Gentry credited her experimentation and improvement in her craft with the development of her style.

This, and her choice to continuously create pieces in different ways, have often received different reactions from audiences.

“Sometimes, when I thought I was doing something new, people will say they recognize my style. And sometimes

when I combine my past ideas and put them together in a new way, people will say that my style has changed.”

Her quilts include pictorial elements and are often centered around seeing, experiencing and imagining a specific object or species.

With this method, she said she wishes to depict positive energy within her work.

“I like to make art that’s uplifting and makes people cheerful and not depressing,” Fallert-Gentry said.

Saarnio said he finds these elements inspirational and encourages students to observe these positive and thought-provoking pieces.

“There is a lot of joy in these pieces,” Saarnio said.

“There is nothing wrong with coming into an art museum and having a pure, joyful moment.”

This exhibition will also include Fallert-Gentry’s first quilt and her most recent, finished in 2015.

Admission to view the exhibit is free.

Ole Miss women’s tennis to take on Purdue University over Ball State and Eastern Michigan.

The Boilermakers have played two ranked teams so far, Texas and Arkansas, and lost both of those matches. This is a match the Rebels should win pretty handily.

The Rebels have another match on Saturday here in Oxford at 12 p.m.

The Rebels will be taking on the Memphis Tigers, who are 1-1 on the year.

Their one loss, however, did come from a quality team in the University of Denver.

The Tigers have a good singles player in Anki Wind, who could pose a tough matchup for Arianne Hartono.

Ole Miss should be considered a possible favorite in both of these match-ups, and are looking to improve to 5-0 come Sunday night.

Meet your 2016 baseball team: Outfield bsrippee@go.olemiss.edu

Opening day for Ole Miss baseball is exactly two weeks away. The Rebels open up the 2016 campaign with a three game home series against Florida International beginning on Feb.19. Here is what the Rebels’ outfield could look like in 2016:

CENTER FIELD: J.B. WOODMAN

Woodman was one of two Rebels to start all 58 games for the team last year, and the workload will be the same this year as he anchors the the outfield in center. Woodman finished second on the team in hits (58) and home runs (7) as well as runs (39). He hit .274 a year ago and will likely be relied on to carry an even bigger offensive load in 2016.

Woodman made 29 starts in right field for the 2014 team, which went to Omaha, as a freshman, and was a part of arguably the fastest outfield in college baseball that season. Woodman also has 17 career steals and is a weapon on the base paths.

RIGHT FIELD: CAM DISHON

Truth be told, Woodman is re-

ally the only starter considered a lock for 2016. Cam Dishon will most likely get the bulk of the action in right field. Dishon started 57 of the 58 games in 2015 with 52 starts in right field and five in center field.

Dishon is another guy with a lot of speed, and Bianco likes what he brings on defense. The biggest uncertainty with Dishon is his offensive production. He hit just well enough to stay in the lineup last year hitting .251 with 42 hits and 14 RBI. Dishon stole 24 bases last year which lead the team. If he can carry a little more weight offensively, it will be a great help for Ole Miss in 2016.

LEFT FIELD: CONNOR CLOYD, KYLE WATSON, HOLT PERDZOCK This might be the most intriguing position on the field for Ole Miss. Kyle Watson and Connor Cloyd split most of the starts in 2015. Watson Started 37 games and Cloyd got the nod in 17. Watson looked as if he had the position locked up through the first month and a half of the season, but Cloyd hit so well down the stretch that coach Mike Bianco couldn’t keep him out of the lineup. Cloyd was also sidelined for the early part of the

Whoever hits most consistently will likely win this job, and I would give a very slight edge to Cloyd. Watson came to Ole Miss as an infielder, and really can be used all across the diamond for Ole Miss. Both will be key contributors for the Rebels in 2016.

Two dark horse candidates for this job are Holt Perdzock and Nick Fortes. Perdzock is a senior with a decent amount of game experience off of the

bench— he made 12 starts at designed hitter. Fortes is a freshman catcher by trade, but his offensive production could land him a few starts at left field or designed hitter.

First pitch against Florida International is set for 4 p.m. on Feb. 19.

Super Bowl 50 might be Peyton Manning’s last stand COLLIN BRISTER

Thedmsports@gmail.com

Cam Newton will dance Sunday. He will do his Superman gesture.

He will almost certainly score in Sunday’s Super Bowl 50. Newton, the quarterback of the Panthers, will be flashy.

He’ll be entertaining.

Peyton Manning won’t dance on Sunday, hopefully.

He may not score.

He definitely won’t be entertaining from a theatrical standpoint, but he’ll play Sunday.

He may not be great on Sunday, but his career will be the epitome of it.

They represent two different eras. They represent two different types of quarterbacks.

They represent how the quarterback position is meant to be played, although their two styles couldn’t be farther apart.

They represent the new and the old in the NFL. Most importantly, they will both represent greatness.

Cam Newton has been great this year. He’s the unquestioned MVP. He’s dominated the league with wide receivers like Ted Ginn, Jr. His best wide receiver, Kelvin Benjamin, hasn’t played a snap this season.

He’s lost one football game this year, nine hours after his first son was born. He’s played amazingly. He’s been great.

Peyton Manning has not been great this year. In fact, he’s been quite underwhelm-

ing. He got benched earlier this year.

He has great wide receivers and a great defense— that’s why he’s in the Super Bowl.

Cam Newton called him “The Sheriff.”

His career, however, has been nothing but excellence.

He’s won multiple MVPs. He’s taken two teams to the Super Bowl. Twice. He’s the picture of greatness in the NFL at the quarterback. He’s arguably the best to ever hold that po-

win. One will lose. That’s how sports works.

It’ll be fun though.

This, likely, is Peyton’s last game. It’s unlikely he’ll ever play in a Super Bowl again. Frankly, it may be the last time that he’ll ever play a football game. He’ll walk off the field as a Super Bowl champion on Sunday.

Or he’ll walk off the field, maybe for the last time, as one of, if not the, greatest of all time.

sition.

It’s not fair to say that Super Bowl 50 is the passing of the torch. There are plenty of great quarterbacks other than these two, such as Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. It’s not Cam Newton taking over as the new face of the NFL. So, they’ll play Sunday.

They’ll play for 60 minutes.

Peyton will try to manage the game. Cam will try to go win it for his team. One will
