Black History Month: An ‘educational opportunity’ Man charged in Chambers murder ASSOCIATED PRESS

It took investigators more than a year of painstaking work, but they say they have finally cracked the case of a former high school cheerleader who was found near death in her rural Mississippi hometown after being doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire. Panola County District Attorney John Champion announced Wednesday that Quinton Verdell Tellis, 27, has been charged with capital murder in the death of 19-year-old Jessica Chambers. She was found along a road, badly burned, on Dec. 6, 2014. Her vehicle was on fire. She suffered burns over 98 percent of her body and died hours later at a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. “This has been the most unusual case that I’ve ever dealt with,” Champion said. “Obviously, the nature of how she died was very brutal, very horrendous.” Champion says Tellis and Chambers knew each other and were friends, but he would not discuss a motive or other details of the crime. Champion did say he

Sigma Chi’s Derby Days philanthropy event has won an award for overall blood drive of the year for 2015 through Mississippi Blood Services. According to Jennifer Hudson at the Mississippi Blood Services branch in Oxford, the five-day event last March garnered 1,260 units of blood —the largest blood drive in Mississippi’s history. Sophomore psychology and sociology double major Mikayla Skinner gave blood at the 2015 Derby Days. “There were so many people there, so it was pretty exciting
sitting there seeing everyone donate,” Skinner said. “We probably saved thousands of lives that week.” According to Hudson, the Derby Days blood drive alone saved 3,780 lives. MBS first became involved with Derby Days in 2009 when a Sigma Chi alumnus and member of MBS’s North Mississippi Advisory Council, Taylor Boone, established the relationship. It has since become an annual partnership. “Mississippi Blood Services holds hundreds of blood drives all over the state and sees thousands of donors during the year,” Susan Ates, public relations specialist at MBS, said. “We depend
on every individual who donates and every organization that allows us to set up a blood drive. But throughout the year, there are those who go that extra mile, who work to increase the units collected, strive to reach others on our behalf and work to ensure their communities have the blood that is needed on a day-today and patient-to-patient basis.” Mississippi Blood Services, the only FDA licensed blood center based in Mississippi, was founded in 1979. The Oxford branch is one of three MBS locations. According to Hudson, Mississippi COURTESY: AUSTIN POWELL colleges play a major role in the state’s blood supply.

One of the hot topics among millennials today is the idea of a free college education. Bernie Sanders is probably the greatest advocate of this idea in today’s political playing field. I do not think there are many people who would refuse a free college education outright, but there are still people who feel that working for something on their own is important and I commend them. I would love if my college education was paid for. I believe that I have worked hard for it, and I feel deserving of such a reward, but I do not believe that everyone deserves a free college education. I am not going to argue about how college tuition is going to be paid for. This is simply THE DAILY

about the concept itself. Does everyone deserve a free college education? Is higher education a right? The answer is no, but I say this with a grain of salt. Not everyone deserves free higher education outright, but anyone can earn it.Those of us who make the grades in high school, have the extracurriculars, come from underprivileged places or low-income families deserve free college tuition. People who deserve free college education should have it, but I feel there are plenty of people on this campus that squander their time here and do not care for their education. Those people should not receive a free college education. There are two other ways of approaching this situation: the cost of college itself and what it means for vocational

continued from page 1 departments on campus. Meetings are only hosted a few times each year starting in April. “The committee does change in size and participation, but on average at least 15-20 people are involved in the planning and providing feedback that would contribute to the overall success of the month,” Mead said. Mead said the committee experiences difficulty of developing new, fresh ideas each year while also hosting signature events such as soul food luncheons, lectures, dialogues and concerts. “We want people to be interested and we want to offer new and innovative things, so I hope that every year we will be able to offer some new aspect that will keep people interested while keeping those signature events,” Mead said. The committee hosts a variety of events occurring throughout the day, Mead said, so everyone has an opportunity to visit something they are interested in. A keynote speaker completes the month of activities every year. This year’s keynote speaker is Alicia Garza. Garza is a social activist and co-creator of the viral Twitter hashtag #BlackLivesMatter. “I am looking forward to Alicia Garza speaking and I am curious to hear about what her philosophy is and her ideology,” Charles Ross, African American studies program director, said. One returning event is the Black Student Union’s Black History Month Gala, which celebrates the achievement of black students and faculty at the University. “I thought they did an excellent job of organizing the event,” Mead said. “Students enjoy themselves. It was really festive, fun, but also an educational opportunity for the people who came.” One of many new events this year was the Sankofa African-American Museum on Wheels. The exhibit allowed students to explore what happened to the people who came from Africa in shackles and how they prevailed over slavery.
The exhibit covered history dating back to 1860. “I would say that my favorite event is the Museum on Wheels,” Allison Bradshaw, Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement student assistant, said. “I really like seeing the different parts of history and the pictures and artifacts kind of puts in your face some of the things we don’t like to discuss about black history.” The committee’s goal is to work and establish partnerships with various other student organizations and departments and get people from all over the University community to participate. “I feel like people should take away from these events that there is a lot to be said about each culture and we should take pride in our history, because if we don’t pay attention to it, you never know, it could eventually come around and repeat itself,” Bradshaw said. This year’s keynote speaker is Alicia Garza. Garza is a social activist and co-creator of the viral Twitter hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.

The prosecutor also said he would not reveal to reporters what Chambers told firefighters who had arrived at the scene. The horrific circumstances surrounding the young woman’s death garnered national attention and cast light on concerns about violent crime in rural towns like Courtland, where Chambers and Tellis lived. Investigators were stymied early on because they received no information from their “street sources,” leading them to theorize that the killing was done

by one person who told no one what happened, Champion said. After she died, relatives described Chambers as an athletic and outgoing person who, at various times, had expressed interest in becoming a nurse, a dentist and a writer. She had been a cheerleader and softball player at South Panola High School. Ben Chambers, the victim’s father, said he never gave up hope that someone would be charged. “She’ll be at peace now,” he said. “Whatever the law allows ... that’s what I hope happens to” Tellis, he said. Surveillance video showed Jessica Chambers at a gas station less than two hours before she was found. She put $14 worth of gas in her car, more than the $5 or so she usually purchased, Ali Fadhel, a clerk at the gas station, told The Associated Press in the days after her death. “I asked her, ‘Why are you putting so much gas?’ She said, ‘I’m going somewhere,’” Fadhel said. On her way out, Chambers got a call on her cellphone, Fadhel said. Her mother, Lisa Chambers, said she spoke with her daughter by phone about an hour before she

Because MBS relies heavily on college donors, summers and other vacation times when students are not in town create significant drops in donations. However, various clubs and events on campus have sponsored MBS to help ensure they get the donations that they need. The UM Athletics department, the law school and many Greek organizations promote giving blood throughout the school year. MBS is very low on platelet donations as well as B+, B-, O+ and O- blood types, according to their website.

Outstanding teacher award nominations to end this month SLADE RAND
ksrand@go.olemiss.edu
Since 1966, the Elsie M. Hood award has been given out yearly to the University’s most valuable teacher. This year’s teacher nomination process is moving to its final stages. The first award was presented to German Professor William Eickhorst under Chancellor J.D. Williams. This year’s recipient will be the University’s 50th. Ken Sufka won the award in 1996 and has been on the selection committee since the year after he was awarded. The committee consists of the last eight recipients of the award, the director of the Alumni Association and the ASB presi-
dent. Sufka said this committee makeup is ordered by the chancellor’s office. “Every nominee is discussed and repeat nominations are delved into in much greater detail. Usually, a round of voting narrows the pool to two to three finalists and then final voting is placed,” Sufka said. The award’s recipients are expected to receive nominations time and time again over several years, showcasing a long-term track record of great teaching and quality student influence. The committee not only compares candidates’ nomination letters to their competition’s letters, but also to all nominees of the past. “Great advisors tell their students to take great teachers, not classes,” Sufka said.
COURTESY: NEWS.OLEMISS.EDU
This award gives students the chance to give greater consideration to teachers recognized for their excellence, whose courses they may not have taken otherwise. According to Sufka, the award’s intensive review process ensures it is given out to the most deserving teacher. Since he joined the committee in 1997, he said there has always been a majority consensus on the year’s recipient. The recipient professor in 2015, political science professor Robert Brown, said the award continues to bring him benefits. Brown said the award has given him a sense of greater responsibility in the classroom and across campus. He said he wants to continue to earn his award. Brown said the interaction between students and teachers is the lifeblood of a university and he certainly exemplifies this belief. The award’s recipients often find more reward than just the $5,000 cash prize alone. “I’ve been teaching at Ole Miss a long time, and receiving this award is very, very special to me — most certainly the highlight of my teaching career,” Brown said. “The Elsie M. Hood award is a way to remind everyone that our work with students represents the foundation of the University, and I’m grateful to work for a university that values teaching as much as we do at Ole Miss.” The nomination process is still open and students may submit their letters through the end of February. Voting will begin in March. Brown said students who have had a rewarding and effective experience in class should submit a nomination detailing how specific teachers have influenced them individually.

Procrastination that will ‘benefit’ your semester studies
SHELBY PACK
sepack@go.olemiss.edu
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a student with a ton of homework to do must spend at least a few hours procrastinating before actually completing said homework. I’m pretty sure Jane Austen said that, or something like it, so it’s definitely the truth. There is no sadder moment than when you come to the end of your Instagram, Twitter and Facebook feeds or you’ve watched every snap story. Never fear, though, because the perfect way to take any procrastination session up a notch is by binge-watching some good old fashioned television via Netflix and/or HBO Go. Here’s a list of a few shows even the most dedicated of students would drop their books for:
COURTESY: PAWNEEINDIANA.COM
PARKS AND RECREATION
In my opinion, “Parks and Rec” is the perfect go-to for anyone trying to procrastinate. Not only is it hilarious, but it also only runs about 20 minutes per episode— the perfect time for a quick break. If you are looking to do some serious procrastination, the show allows for a large number of episodes to be watched in any block of time. This show is especially ideal for those avoiding work in environmental studies or recreation management because of the general concentration of the Parks Department throughout the show. However, anyone can benefit from Leslie Knope’s ambitious and enthusiastic attitude. Who knows, this show
may even inspire you to stop procrastinating and get to work (after you binge-watch an entire season, of course).

CRIMINAL MINDS
Everyone has seen (and loved) many crime-centered series, but the extremely underrated “Criminal Minds” might be the best one out there right now. While it can get a little heavy at times, the exceedingly lovable main characters will keep you coming back for more. This series may be started from the beginning, middle or end and requires virtually no information from previous episodes before watching, which I greatly appreciate. I recommend this particularly to those studying psychology because the Behavioral Analysis Unit is made up of expert profilers who analyze the mind behind the criminal. Each criminal the B.A.U investigates is just as twisted as the one before, and the stories provide the perfect amount of action to keep you on your toes.

GREY’S ANATOMY As a loyal follower of “Grey’s Anatomy” and actual goddess Shonda Rhimes in general, I felt that it was necessary to include this classic medical drama. The best part about this show is that it is still on air, in its 11th season, and 10 of
those episodes are currently on Netflix, leaving you with more than enough material to take up your time. It is inevitable that, after a couple of episodes, you’ll not only get sucked into the drama, but also find yourself totally enjoying the medical mysteries that each episode features. This would be great for biology class procrastination, as well as for those students hoping to go on to medical school. Honestly, after binge-watching 10 seasons of “Grey’s” you could probably skip medical school all together and become a self proclaimed M.D. from the Grey School of Medicine, which is totally a thing.
COURTESY: HBO.COM/GIRLS/
GIRLS Lena Dunham’s brilliant creation, “Girls,” is basically a more realistic version of “Sex and the City.” While definitely not glamorous, it gives its audience a look into post-grad millennial life. Never fear, though it isn’t all bad. It is inspiration to laugh your way through the tough times, and it gives validation that it is perfectly fine not to know what you’re going to do for the rest of your life just yet. Hannah’s dream is to be a writer, so this is a solid pairing for those with creative pursuits of their own and could even be useful for those putting off a paper or any other English assignment. The seasons are short and sweet, like the episodes, leaving enough time for you to watch a whole season before immediately freaking out about the future.

THE JINX
This HBO documentary series is the evil twin of Netflix’s recent success, “Making a Murderer.” It tells the story of Robert Durst, a rich, New York City real estate heir, who was suspected of killing his wife, best friend and neighbor, but was never found guilty. This short series, comprised
of six hour-long episodes, includes an interview with Durst himself and interviews with those involved in the investigations of the murders, as well as those close to Durst and the victims. It goes in-depth into each investigation, and the evidence surrounding Durst is astounding. This series provides an interesting look into the criminal justice system, so naturally this pairs well with criminal justice as well as sociology. “The Jinx” will have you on the edge of your seat, and the final episode will leave you questioning everything until you have to actually do school work to distract yourself.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Grease it lightly with baking spray and set aside. Put the sliced potatoes in a pot filled with water and bring to a boil, then cover and continue to cook for three minutes, or until they’re tender. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels, then place them on the baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil and season them with the sea salt.

This simple recipe only needs three ingredients: Laughing Cow cheese wedges, olives and crackers. Place the cheese wedge onto the cracker, use little scissors or a knife to cut a bow tie out of the olive’s skin, then use a little straw (preferably one from a juice box) to make the buttons. If you don’t like olives, you can use cheddar cheese, ham, carrots or another colorful food in order to make the bowtie and buttons. Looking for a tuxedo-themed snack that’s sweet instead of cheesy? Try Tuxedo Strawberries instead.

This easy drink recipe needs two cups of apple juice, two (6-ounce) cans of pineapple juice, one (12-ounce) can of cranberry juice concentrate, one (6-ounce) can of orange juice concentrate and four cups of club soda. Now to the easy part: combine the first four ingredients and stir until they’re blended together. Add the club soda right before serving, then serve over ice. Don’t have the time to make an assortment of snacks? You can throw together the perfect party using food that doesn’t require any effort. Since this is an award show for movies, be sure to include popcorn with flavored seasonings. Different, brightly colored candies in pretty dishes make for fun candy bar. Twizzlers also make great “ropes” for the red carpet and Junior Mints are a staple at movie theaters. Throwing a party can be stressful, especially if you’re in charge of the food. With these easy recipes, it doesn’t have to be. All you will have to worry about now is if Leonardo DiCaprio finally wins an Oscar.

Barber committed to the Rebels early in the recruiting process for the 2013 class, but switched his pledge to Auburn in January of 2013. He redshirted his first year on Plains, and only got 54 carries in six games for the Tigers in 2014. Barber took off in 2015, however, after Roc Thomas got hurt and Jovon Robinson took a while to get accustomed to the system. Barber was supposed to return for his redshirt junior season at Auburn in 2016, but he didn’t. He declared for the NFL draft in January. It was a move that many questioned at the time, as Barber wasn’t listed in the top rounds of NFL draft projections. It was a move that left some Auburn fans puzzled. It was a move that probably didn’t help him get drafted as high as possible.

nothing more than a scholarship because anything more is a violation. I get it. I really do. There’s a need to keep a certain extent of amateurism in college athletics— but come on. It shouldn’t be a violation when someone sleeps at his girlfriend’s house-otherwise 90 percent of college campuses would be ineligible. It shouldn’t be a violation because a 10-year-old got a Make-AWish benefit, and 10 years later he wants to play NCAA football. The NCAA had to have meetings to deem a guy eligible because he played recreational league football overseas fighting for our country. I’m not kidding. There’s an element of common sense that needs to be displayed by the NCAA. There’s an element of humanity that needs to be displayed by the NCAA. So, I’m not asking too much. I’m not. I’m just asking that, in a league that made $3.4 billion from football alone in a calendar year, to let one of their institutions help one of its athletes out if he doesn’t have food. I’m just asking that a corporation that made more than $3 billion in 2014 to allow an institution to help one of its athletes out if his mother is without a home. I’m just asking for common sense and a dose of humanity.

Rebels win mid-week challenge with last inning attempt
Cameron Dishon hits the ball during the game Wednesday night against Arkansas State. Later that evening, Cameron had a sacrifice fly to win the game for the Rebels.

For the first time in the young 2016 season, Ole Miss found itself in a close ball game in the 9th inning. With the game tied at three, junior catcher Henri Lartigue led off the inning with a double down the left field line. After a freshman Ryan Olenek sacrifice bunt was dropped at first base, and intentional walk to Conner Cloyd, senior outfielder Cameron Dishon stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and the winning run only 90 feet away. “I was going into the at bat
looking for something up in the zone, something that I could handle,” Dishon said. That’s exactly what he got. Dishon lifted a 1-0 fastball to center field that was deep enough to score pinch runner Ray Alejo, giving the Rebels the 4-3 vicotry. “You’ve gotta find ways. We may not have played well early, but we played well when it mattered down the stretch,” Dishon said. It was Ole Miss’ fourth victory of the season. Arkansas State struck first by plating two runs in the second inning off of freshman right hander James McArthur, who was making his first career start for Ole Miss. “I was proud that he hung in
there. That was the message after the game,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. “I was proud that his best inning was his last inning. The really good guys go out on their terms.” McArthur ran into trouble in the second after hitting the lead-off man and surrendering a base hit to the next guy. Arkansas State broke through on an RBI single through the right side to give them a 1-0 lead. The Red Wolves would score again on a bases loaded walk that inning. Ole Miss answered with a pair of runs in the third on a pop fly to shallow right field off the bat of Lartigue that was dropped by the right fielder to tie the game at two.
Andy Pagnozzi came on in relief of McArthur in the fourth and pitched well in his second outing of the year. Pagnozzi struck out five over three innings and surrendered one run in that stretch. The one run came after Jeremy Brown hit a lead-off triple to begin the seventh inning. Brown would later score on a two-out RBI single from Austin Baker off of David Parkinson, who came on in relief of Pagnozzi. Ole Miss answered with a two-out RBI hit of their own in the eighth after Tate Blackman singled to left field to score Will Golsan, tying the game at 3. “Tate’s doing a great job. As long as he keeps doing his

thing, we’ll be just alright,” junior shortstop Errol Robinson said. Blackman has gone 8-12 from the plate with nine RBIs to start the season. Brady Bramlett pitched a scoreless eighth inning for Ole Miss and Dallas Feigl followed suit in the ninth, setting up the ninth inning heroics. “This is a tough game and there are going to be days where you don’t play well,” Bianco said. “The good clubs figure out a way to win, and win games that could have easily went the other way.” Ole Miss returns to action Friday against second-ranked Louisville at Swayze Field. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.
