Ole Miss students have been signing and sharing a Change.org petition requesting the university reschedule the 2017 formal recruitment week so students can attend the Alabama football game in Tuscaloosa. Marketing major and Panhellenic member Di Law wrote and published the petition, which has since garnered more than 2,300 signatures as of Sunday night. The current recruitment schedule for Ole Miss Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council Formal Recruitment is Sept. 24 to Oct. 1. “The Ole Miss-Bama game also happens to be on September 30th meaning that majority of the student section, considering 42% of the student body is Greek, and 60% of the freshman class will rush, will be empty,” Law wrote in the petition. “This is our biggest rival and our most serious game of the whole season and instead of being able to come together as a school, we will be amidst the joys and heartbreaks of rush.” The petition was shared on Facebook by supporters, asking others to sign the petition and pleading their case for why it is important the dates get changed.
“Being from Tuscaloosa, the Bama Ole Miss game is pretty important to me,” student Mallory Steiner wrote on her post. “Please sign this petition to change the date of recruitment so Greek students can go to the game this year.” Others said Greek students and those intending to go through the recruitment process should not have to pick one over the other. “Active members of Greek organizations, as well as entering freshman (sic), should not have to choose between being Greek and being a Rebel,” student Tina Scheuermann wrote on her Facebook post. Others just shared the post or made minimal commentary saying they just want to go to the game. “I want to go to the game and rush,” student Trevor Land said. The university’s office of fraternity and sorority life released a statement Wednesday regarding the conflict. “In an effort to model the Division of Student Affairs value of ‘Everyone Speaks,’ we welcome student input regarding the selection of this important event that affects not only our members and potential new members but the entire University of Mississippi community,” the state-

Students ask for more sexual assault survivor support JENNIFER FRONING thedmnews@gmail.com
Rebels Against Sexual Assault wrote an open letter to the university in the hopes of gaining new staff members and 24/7 sexual assault nurse examiners at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford. Former RASA President Sydney Green wrote the open letter last semester at the end of the “It’s On Us” campaign, which is a national week of action that campaigns for awareness of sexual assault on college campuses. “The letter focused on maintaining existing services for sexual assault survivors
and increasing resources allocated to the offices whose services are rapidly becoming overburdened due to the rising number of reports, mainly the violence prevention office and Title IX,” Green said. “The letter also requests that the university find a way to provide 24/7 medical services administered by a sexual assault nurse examiner.” There is only one full-time

President Trump’s campaign slogan last year was “Make America Great Again!” To some, that phrase brings great pride. To others, it brings anguish. I believe we can all learn a lesson from this past year’s
election. That lesson is that with the right tools in place and a powerful and effective message to support these tools, then, theoretically, we could make just about anything great again. We all have the potential to make a difference, but we have to be smart about how we are to make a difference. One thing that I have never understood about some civic groups is their obsession with using protesting as the only way to accomplish things. Protesting can be part of the solution, but it almost never is the only solution to a cause or a problem. Unless there is a grave civ-

il liberty being revoked or withheld, I do not believe protesting is the most appropriate option to further your cause. There are smarter, more effective ways to make a point. The common sense alternative to protesting is establishing a civic coalition. If you feel strongly enough that Donald Trump is a terrible president or that the federal government should not approve pipeline construction or whatever your cause is, then put down the signs and pick up a sheet of paper and start walking and campaigning for a candidate and party that advocate those ideals.

continued from page 1 ment said. The staff will be meeting with council and chapter leaders this week to get input on the recruitment dates and said members should direct their feedback to leaders so they can be represented. Afterward, the office will ask the Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council leaders to make a joint recommendation. “The engagement of students surrounding the selection of these recruitment dates has been a learning experience and has afforded us the opportunity to re-examine the process used to identify these dates in the future. After the final decision regarding the 2017 recruitment dates has been made, we are committed to improving this process moving forward,” the statement said. The petition is less than halfway to the goal of 5,000 signatures, but not every student feels there is an immediate need to change rush week. Shortly after the petition began circulating, senior broadcast journalism major Walter Lyle shared his views on the issue. Lyle listed “things on campus you should be signing a petition

major Mary Albert said she would feel more comfortable going to a female nurse who is specially trained for sexual assault cases. “If there were nurses specially trained and were ... trained to handle sexual assault, I would definitely go or have my friends go if they were assaulted,” Albert said. “I’m not sure how we would pay for 24/7 nurses, but it would definitely be helpful because most cases of assault happen after closing hours.”
continued from page 1 for students, faculty and staff. After the health center has closed, after-hours care is supposed to be taken care of by the hospital, which does not have any SANE-certified nurses on staff. Green said it is not feasible for the health center on campus to be turned into a 24/7 medical facility, so there needs to be another safe place for survivors of sexual assaults to go where they feel comfortable. Current RASA President Corbin Smith said they are hoping to get more SANE-certified nurses in the emergency room so everyone has access to medical care after having been sexually assaulted. “Even if a member of the community who doesn’t have access to the health center goes to the hospital and is like, ‘I have been sexually assaulted,’ can get treated, and the emergency room is open 24/7,” Smith said. “So having a SANE nurse there 24/7 would be ideal for us because we want to make sure that the person who was assaulted is treated with dignity and respect and with someone who is trained in knowing how to handle a person who was just assaulted.” Sophomore integrated marketing communications
against: confederate symbolism, sexual harassment, sexual assault, homophobic slurs, racial slurs, domestic violence, drug abuse, literally anything else.” “I truly understand that it’s slightly irritating that bid day falls on an important football game next year, and I understand why people might be perturbed by that,” Lyle said. “However, terrible injustices occur on our campus every week that everyone knows about, but no one ever speaks up ... I’m annoyed because out of everything I just listed, the only thing that seems to rally our students is this slightly annoying bid day.” He said he thinks the reason why students can rally behind moving bid day as opposed to what he says are greater causes is because it’s simple to get up in arms about something no one would really fight against. “It’s much more brave and takes more charisma to get behind a cause that may be seen as less popular or more controversial,” Lyle said. “In that regard, it makes sense that students rally behind something as simple-minded as this than anything else.” Melinda Sutton Noss, assistant vice chancellor and dean of students, said the decision related to
formal recruitment dates typically involves a recommendation by staff after consulting with a number of campus partners. “It’s often a collaborative process,” Sutton Noss said. “That being said, there are parameters that the university expects recruitment to fall within, including the timing of recruitment.” Sutton Noss said recruitment would ideally occur no earlier than the sixth week of the semester. She said it is undesirable to have recruitment during a weekend when there is a home football game. “We want to make sure student voices are a part of this process, as well, so it’s a collaborative, mutual selection process between staff and students,” Sutton Noss said. Sutton Noss said although the recruitment dates have been set, the Change.org petition alone would not move rush week. “If student leaders within the community want to make a request or a change, I can’t imagine university leaders would not be willing to talk with them,” Sutton Noss said. “We want to honor the governing structure of the fraternity and sorority community. Fraternity and sorority members elect students to represent them, and getting input from these student leaders is important.”

Temples “Volcano” Release: March 4 Don’t you just want to throw up when someone proclaims your favorite young, British rockers “might be the next Beatles”? Yes, Temples is from England. Yes, it specializes in psych-rock. But is it the next Beatles? No, it’s not, and that’s exactly why you should start listening to it. It released its first album, a psychy and otherworldly 12-track, in 2014, via Fat Possum, and Friday it’ll drop its latest piece of work, “Volcano.” Judging by the two singles it’s already released, “Certainty” and “Strange or be Forgotten,” its work is only getting more focused, yet more experimental at the same time. Both tracks sound somewhat like what one might hear in a kid’s cartoon under the influence of layered vocals, guitar and synth. “Volcano” is set to please fans and gain Temples some new followers, as well. Anna Wise “The Feminine II” Released: Feb. 17 Whereas Anna Wise’s last album was her answer to a sexist society, “The Feminine II” is
her self-manifesto. In her track off the new album titled “Boss B***h,” Wise states, “I’m not asking for their respect; I am who I am whether they respect me or not.” In her first album, Wise forced listeners to acknowledge women’s issues — the discomfort of common catcalls, the wage gap problem (“Decrease my Waist, Increase my Pay”) and the matter of beauty and body image. Wise, who collaborated with Kendrick Lamar on three of his albums, proves she’s a musical force to be reckoned with. In “The Feminine II,” Wise takes a deeper approach into the realm of empowerment with songs like “Boss B***h,” “Stacking that Paper” and the sunny, jazzy “Coconuts.” Casey Golden “Casey Golden” Release: March 10 Get in on this easily digestible indie-Americana record with “The Waiter,” a single by the Tuscon, Arizona, musician, before his show in Oxford next week. For Oxford label Muscle Beach Records, Golden’s release is a milestone. His self-titled is also its first album release on vinyl. In an interview, Muscle Beach co-founder Graham Hamaker called it “gourmet.” For its ease of listening, Golden’s album doesn’t lack complexity or texture. Take “Casey Gold-
en” with a cup of coffee and a desert sunrise. And once the album drops next Friday, listen to tracks “Lost in The Space,” “The Corners of My Song” and “There You Go.” Hanni El Khatib “Savage Times” Released: Feb. 17 Hanni El Khatib might have chosen the most fitting album title (both in musical substance and in its connection to current events). Compared to some of Khatib’s other releases, “Savage Times” glides more into the realm of punk-rock. In the song “Born Brown,” Khatib proclaims his own existence and racial identity over a pulsing guitar and drum. There’s not much you won’t hear from Khatib, however, who seems to have his own brand of garage rock but can offer listeners bouts of blues and disco. The album, at 19 tracks, ranges in genre and style but remains cohesive. Listen to “Gun Clap Hero,” “This I Know” and “Paralyzed.” Thundercat “Drunk” Released: Feb. 24
It’s stitched together by a chorus of “oohs,” “ahhs,” and bouts of stream-of-consciousness lyrics. While “Drunk” stays light and even humorous throughout (there’s a song called “A Fan’s Mail [Tron Song Suite II]” about how cool it is to be a cat), Thundercat doesn’t shy away from touching on race issues, like in “Jameel’s Space Ride,” where Thundercat questions his safety while driving. “I want to go right, I’m safe on
my block/ Except for the cops/ Will they attack?/ Would it be ‘cause I’m black?” Thundercat questions. The album is not short on notable collaborators, with songs featuring Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus and Wiz Khalifa. Listeners will want to experience the full album, but songs like “Friend Zone,” “Tokyo” and “Lava Lamp” will persist on people’s playlists throughout the year.

The bass-loving and funky Thundercat returned Friday with a brand new album called “Drunk.” He teased to the album with singles “Friend Zone” and “Show You The Way,” both of which shine on this album.

Men’s hoops survive Missouri in 80-77 win 11 turnovers of its own. “Our margin for error is just too small," Kennedy said. "Typically, if it’s going to be a blowout, it’s not going to be be good for us.” The 3-pointer was also a key aspect of the Rebels' win: Ole Miss shot an impressive 52 percent from three on the day. Burnett chipped in five threes alone, while Saiz and Rasheed Brooks both hit two each. Burnett bounced back in stellar fashion for the Rebs after going 1-12 against Mississippi State Tuesday. “Once the first one goes in, the basket starts to open up,” Burnett said. “Seeing that first one go in was a big relief for me.” Ole Miss is back in action Wednesday against Alabama (16-11) in Tuscaloosa.

Ole Miss, led by junior Deandre Burnett, secured a 8077 win Saturday in Oxford against the Missouri Tigers. Although Missouri was only sporting a 7-20 record, including a three-game losing streak, the Tigers came close to upsetting the 11th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats earlier in the week. Deandre Burnett was a force in the second half, scoring 19 of his 28 points and going 3-5 from 3-point range. Others also stepped up, such as Terence Davis, Sebastian Saiz and Breein Tyree, all scoring in double figures. All three hit big shots down the stretch, including back-to-back threes from Saiz and Davis and a huge mid-range jumper from Tyree with less than a minute to play. “At the end of the day, it’s a bottom-line business, and
when you get to this point in the season, only one thing matters– is this going in the right column or the left column,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “This goes in the right column.” Free throws were a big reason for the win. Ole Miss hit 27 of 29 from the line, with Burnett going 13-14 on free throws. Nobody on the team missed more than one free throw against the Tigers. “We lead the nation in free throws made on the season; this has been something that we feel like we can be successful at,” Kennedy said. “Obviously, we needed every one of them.” The first half was filled with sloppy offensive play from both teams. Missouri shot a pedestrian 29 percent from the field in the first half while turning it over nine times. Ole Miss could not capitalize on the Tigers' mistakes, shooting 36 percent from the field with

Rebels take down Texas A&M on senior night JUSTIN DIAL

Ole Miss handled Texas A&M on senior night to improve to 6-10 in SEC play and 17-12 overall. Three Rebels scored in double figures: Seniors Shequila Joseph and Taylor Manuel had 11 and 10 respectively, while Shandricka Sessom pitched in 13 to lead the Rebs in the final home game of the season. The first half was a tale of two quarters. Ole Miss started out hitting 3-4 from behind the arc in the first quarter. However, the Rebels could not hit any of the four threes they attempted in the second quarter, going 2-11 overall from the field. Free throws were also a problem for Ole Miss in the opening half, only shooting 6-17 from the line, which was good for “We got the same shots in the second quarter that

continued from page 8 statement by sweeping a UNC-Wilmington team that returned seven starters from a regional team in 2016 and possessed one of the best offenses in college baseball. The Seahawks team batting average a year ago was .32o and it averaged eight runs a game. The Rebels’ pitching staff held that offense largely in check. David Parkinson and James McArthur each went six innings on Friday and Saturday. McArthur yielded just one run on two hits and struck out 11 hitters, while Parkinson surrendered just two runs on three hits and whiffed six. Brady Feigl went five innings and allowed a single run on three hits Sunday. “You’ve got to be pleased through seven games and two weekends,” Bianco said. “It’s not coach speak, but we have a ways to go. There are some things that we have to clean up in lot of areas, but it is hard to imagine that we

It is one thing to win seven games, but six of them against teams that are ranked in the top 25. I am really proud of them.” The offense wasn’t far behind the quality pitching that Ole Miss got out of both its starters and its bullpen, and it was again sparked

by freshmen hitters. Cole Zabowski had four hits on Saturday and five total on the weekend. Thomas Dillard hit his first career home run, and so did Chase Cockrell as part of a 2-4 performance on Friday. Blackman and Bortles went a combined 6-10 in the Saturday game, which is certainly a positive sign moving

we got in the first quarter,” head coach Matt Insell said. “We just didn’t make any in the second quarter, missed a lot of layups, a lot of gimmes, a lot of free throws.” Ole Miss was getting it done on the defensive end, though, and it was the reason why the Rebels took a 23-20 lead into halftime. The Aggies were held to their lowest offensive output of all time in SEC play by the Rebels, scoring only 49 points in the game. Ole Miss’ defensive effort is even more impressive, considering it surrendered 100 at Missouri earlier in the week. “Great win,” Insell said. “Great win for our program to beat a team like Texas A&M.” Seniors Taylor Manuel and Erika Sisk were huge factors in the game, though it may not show in the box score. Manuel started off 0-8 from the field but made
her last five shots, finishing with 10 points. Sisk was a big boost for the Rebels, taking charges and playing tough defense throughout the game. She finished with nine points and six assists. “Offensively, we got everything we wanted,” Insell said. “We had a low quarter in the second quarter. We just missed easy shots.” Ole Miss went to a fullcourt press in the second half, which completely changed the game. The Rebels forced 15 Texas A&M turnovers in the second half. The defense seemingly boosted confidence on the offensive side, as well. Ole Miss shot lights out in the fourth quarter, going 9-11 from the field and 3-4 from behind the arc. “That was our whole point– make someone that isn’t used to handling the ball handle the ball,” Insell said. “We did that, and we got the win.”
forward concerning two of the Rebels’ veteran hitters. More so than anything, this young team has showed its resiliency. Ole Miss trailed for just an inning and a half all weekend against UNC-Wilmingon, and it was a similar story against East Carolina last weekend. Every time the Rebels have gotten down or the opponent has put up a big inning, Ole Miss has answered right back. It has shown the ability to break out for four and five run innings. Like in the Saturday game, when the Seahawks scored three in the eighth to take a one-run lead, the Rebels matched that with five of their own in the bottom half of the inning. “We’re just resilient. Every time we get punched in the mouth, we bounce
right back,” Kessinger said. “We’ve been doing it all year. We’ve got good team chemistry, and we’re always there to keep each other up, and hopefully we can keep that up.” Another tough test lies ahead for this team next weekend at Minute Maid Park in Houston after a midweek game with Memphis. Ole Miss will play top-ranked TCU, a Texas Tech team coming off a College World Series appearance a season ago and a Baylor team with a lot of confidence. “We just want to keep playing good baseball,” Kessinger said. “Come out, practice, get our work in and get ready for Memphis and then worry about our Houston trip after that.”

Ole Miss baseball sweeps UNC-Wilmington BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Grae Kessinger took a step to his left toward the bag at second and leaped up, snagging a sharply hit baseball by UNC-Wilmington first baseman Mason Berne, robbing him of a double and likely saving two runs as Ole Miss was able to get out a sixth inning jam unscathed and went on to win the game 8-6, completing a weekend sweep of the 24th-ranked Seahawks. “The line drive– it was just great timing,” head coach Mike Bianco said. “He has those instincts, and to jump and to catch the ball, it’s two runs if that ball gets into the gap, which it was; there is no doubt. That was a big play.” At the time, Ole Miss was firmly in control with a 6-1 lead, and a sweep looked imminent. But UNC-Wilmington didn’t go down quietly. The Seahawks scored four runs in the ninth inning off Rebel reliever Connor Green and brought the tying run to the plate a couple of times by cutting the lead to 8-6. Bianco then brought in Dallas Woolfolk, who recorded his third save of the season and got the Rebels out of another
late-inning pinch to preserve the team’s seventh consecutive win to begin the year. “It’s a scary, physical lineup, and for Dallas to come in... I don’t know what the speed of the last pitch was, but two pitches before that he threw a fastball that came in at 95, and that is really good stuff coming in there,” Bianco said of his sophomore reliever, who’s gotten Ole Miss out of some tight spots early on in this season. Ole Miss jumped on the Seahawks quickly Sunday afternoon by throwing up a five spot in the third inning to take a comfortable lead on RBI base hits from Ryan Olenek and Cole Zabowski and then a towering two-run home run over the left field fence from Colby Bortles. “It’s always good to see a couple of hits. I felt like I was swinging it well and had some tough breaks swinging at a couple of bad pitches. I was just trying to keep my head more still up there and swing at the right pitches,” Bortles said. “I feel like I did that today.” Bortles had four hits and a home run in this series after getting off to a bit of a sluggish start on opening weekend.

really play. I am happy that the younger guys have gotten off to some good starts, but we certainly needed that day today out of Colby with a big home run and a sac fly,” Bianco said. Despite flirting with di-
saster in the ninth, Ole Miss gave itself a big enough cushion to hang on and complete the sweep of a very good UNC-Wilmington team. Ole Miss made another
