Ole Miss student Daniel Myrick retrieves a ticket from his car in the East Coliseum lot on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford Monday. The lot, which has long been a commuter parking lot, changed to a faculty and staff parking lot Monday due to construction on other parts of campus.
Ole Miss alumni and college admissions counselors Stephen Nelson and Jason Welch recently launched The Good South. Both Mississippi natives, Nelson and Welch have opened the Mississippi-operated online retailer with the hopes of sharing “Southern lifestyle clothing with a mission to support students pursuing higher education,” according to the company’s mission statement. Welch said that the pair were inspired to launch the brand by their experiences both as admissions counselors and consumers. “Through our jobs as admission counselors for the university, we have had the opportunity to travel together for work and have discovered See SOUTH, PAGE 5
Fourth annual Big Event to be held Saturday BY SARA ROGERS sbrogers@go.olemiss.edu
The University of Mississippi will host the fourth annual Big Event this Saturday. The Big Event consists of about 150 different service projects directed by University of Mississippi students who work in groups to complete each project. Eric Villarreal, co-director of volunteer recruitment and senior biochemistry major, is confident that the day of service is worth volunteers’ time. “There is no better day of the year to go out and serve others, as others have served us,” Villarreal said. “I promise that you will have such a good experience

from the beginning to the end. Plus, breakfast is served that morning, and everyone loves a free breakfast.” Ole Miss students created a Big Event committee in Oxford in 2010 after seeing a similar service day at Texas A&M. Although still fairly new on campus, the service day has had much success in the past and is predicted to have even more this year. Sophomore exercise science major Lauren Malone said she thinks the Big Event is a fulfilling experience. “I was able to give back to our community while having a lot of fun,” Malone said. “It really seemed to bring students togeth-
er for a great cause. I’m excited for Saturday.” According to Kristin Volker, Big Event director and senior management major, one team leader heads each group. These leaders will be trained at sessions this week in preparation for the event. After training, the leaders will notify their group members regarding details about Saturday. Through March 3, any Oxford-Lafayette resident could register a project online, ranging from cleaning out a garage to sprucing up a lawn. The project was then approved to be an official Big Event service project for one of the teams to complete Saturday.

Many would say we’re addicted to technology; I know that I am. Whether we’re talking on our phones, reading on our tablets, texting, working on a laptop or listening to music, we’re engaging with screens more and engaging face to face with people less. My favorite technology sighting is a group of people out at dinner, all looking at their cell phones instead of talking to one another. Why have we allowed technology to take over our lives and impede our social T H E D A I LY

skills? Granted, not all advances in technology have impeded communication and social skills. In fact, technology makes it easier to communicate and interact with people around the world. And, I’m personally very thankful for that advancement. However, at the same time, we’d rather text someone than simply call them on the phone or, better yet, talk to them in person. We’d rather see what’s happening on Twitter instead of having a conversation with our friends at dinner. We’re all guilty of this to some extent — and it’s certainly not a generational problem for millennials. Our parents, and even many of our grandparents, have not only allowed this to happen but have fallen

to technology’s addictive qualities, as well. More and more, people are becoming aware of technology’s firm grasp in our lives. The idea of a technology detox or cleanse is quickly gaining popularity across the country. Celebrities such as Arianna Huffington, Ian Somerhalder and others have used their social networking platforms to encourage fans to join them in a 24-hour technology cleanse. My friends and I even went on a three-day cell phone detox during our recent spring break trip. While it wasn’t easy, and we slipped at one time or another, it was rewarding and refreshing. We didn’t really worry about what people were tweeting about or posting on Instagram. We didn’t even stress about what was happen-

ing in current events around the world. For those three days, we had real conversations with one another; we experienced a beautiful part of the country, the Florida Keys, without being distracted by technology’s pull. Our relationships grew because we weren’t surrounded by distractions. And, because of the cell phone detox, I think we’ll remember this spring break trip more vividly than others. We’ll remember the experiences because we weren’t constantly texting, checking Facebook or tweeting. Turning off your cell phone for just one day can decrease your stress levels, help you focus and give you time to refresh and re-center yourself. See CLEANSE, PAGE 3

Crimes without the guns BY TRENTON WINFORD tgwinford@bellsouth.net
Earlier this month, a group of about 10 masked individuals entered a crowded railway station in China and proceeded to attack the innocent employees and commuters. At the conclusion, at least 29 were dead and another 143 injured. These perpetrators did not rely on assault rifles, or even firearms of any kind. Instead, they wielded knives, and still wreaked havoc in an already problem-riddled region. If firearms had been used, there would be an outcry in the U.S. media, portraying the attacks as perpetrated by the firearms, rather than the individuals pulling the trigger. There would be comparisons to other atrocities, such as Sandy Hook or Columbine. However, since the attackers used knives, the crime has not
even been a blip on the gun control radar, yet it is important that it is considered in the debate. This attack shows that firearms are not necessary to inflict such damage. It also shows that the real issues with these incidents are the reasons behind them and the individuals that commit them, rather than the tool that is used. The Xinjiang attack is evidence that when individuals or a group want to commit such violence, they will find a way to do so. If you were asked to name the deadliest attack on a school in U.S. history, what would come to mind? Sandy Hook? Virginia Tech? Maybe Columbine? The correct answer is actually the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, Mich., in 1927. This act of violence resulted in the death of 45 people and injuries to another 58. The individual behind this attack decided that dynamite was his weapon of choice, setting off explosions at his farm and the school before detonating an explosion in his truck
before he was finished. Like the Xinjiang attack, the Bath massacre utilized weapons that can be just as destructive, if not more so, than firearms. Yet any attack with a weapon other than a firearm does not drum up the political discussion that a single gunshot does. The Xinjiang attack did not create a stir over knife control because such an argument would be considered laughable. However, if you replace the knives with firearms, it becomes a political platform for a few weeks or months before people forget about it again, even if the argument is exactly the same, just aimed at a different weapon. Any such crime is reprehensible and should be followed by swift and harsh justice. However, let us not allow political ideology to stand in the way of observing the reality of the situation: These attacks were committed by people, not by weapons.

Furthermore, taking a step back from technology gives us the ability to invest in and find the importance of personal relationships and interactions. It leads to more enjoyable experiences that you’re likely to better remember because you’re not distracted by the rest of the
world or an addictive piece of technology. I urge everyone to consider taking a 24-hour cell phone detox or technology cleanse. Take some time to discover the real world and the people around you, without the impediments of technology. Adam Blackwell is a senior public policy leadership major from Natchez.

Welcome to Night Vale BY CLARA TURNAGE thedmfeatures@gmail.com
“Welcome to Night Vale” is a podcast production of Commonplace Books. A podcast is a broadcasted show that can be downloaded onto almost any MP3-capable device. Podcasts come in two forms: video and audio. Though podcasts have existed for some time now, they have only recently gained much popularity. Like many podcasts, “Welcome to Night Vale” started out as a very small operation. Unlike many on the market today, however, after fewer than two years of production and with more than 150,000 downloads per show, “Welcome to Night Vale” has become the most-downloaded podcast in the world. Hosted twice monthly, the 20- to 25-minute show is broadcast in the form of a community radio show. Public events, school programs, emergencies and, of course, the weather are described in each program. What makes this somewhat banal content
popular, however, are the oddities that are broadcast as ordinary events. In this conspiracy-ridden, authoritarian society that is both all-accepting and all-rejecting, there are absurdities and downright weird things going on. The Dog Park is avoided at all costs due to its apparently infinite quality and the chance that those who venture there may be lost forever. However, the residents are not allowed to know that the Dog Park exists, so it’s really not a problem. Librarians in Night Vale are heinous, terrifying creatures whom no one approaches if they hope to live. Except, of course the young Tamika Flynn, who defeated the librarians during the annual children’s Summer Reading Program. There was a fugitive, Hiram McDaniels, in one show. McDaniels was described as an 18-foot-tall, five-headed dragon weighing about 3,600 pounds. After the incident, however, he was rectified by his blog and soon began to run for mayor of Night Vale.

The Sheriff ’s Secret Police are not at all concealed and are constantly in the news; in fact, they control what is and is not broadcast. They also patrol the skies in blue helicopters, not to be confused with the black or yellow helicopters, and roam the town in short capes. Also at play are sightings of angels and the hooded figures with unknowable power that wander around the town and occasionally steal children. Then there is, of course, the underground city plotting its eventual takeover of Night Vale beneath the pin retrieval area of lane five of the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex. Night Vale Community Radio is orated by the fictional Cecil Palmer, voiced by Cecil Baldwin. Palmer constantly broadcasts news that becomes banned by the Sheriff ’s Secret Police, or worse, the feared station managers. Station managers are not described except as the ever-moving shapes behind the office door and by unearthly noises they are known to make. When such slipups occur, Palmer simply instructs the residents to forget what he has told them. A subplot to the program is the long-standing crush Palmer has on the only person who apparently did not grow up in Night Vale: Carlos the scientist. A constant in Night Vale Community Radio is the disappearance of interns and the ceaseless supply of interns to hire. Interns at Night Vale Community Radio have the unhappy habit of disappearing or being lost-forever-butnot-technically-dead. So far there have been nine interns lost, of which four are missing, three are confirmed

pated rise in viewership is due to one undeniable, unexpected fact: “Welcome to Night Vale” is funny. As a sort of revival of the radio drama of the 1940s, the podcast gives listeners a simplistic experience that relies on imagination. A theory on the effectiveness of Night Vale is the thirst for human interaction in entertainment. “Welcome to Night Vale” relies on the listener to envision the community as it weaves the scene into being. The popularity of the podcast has surpassed expectation and continues to provide its subscribers with the weird, the odd and the frightening stories they so desire.

dead, one is alive, and one is not dead but can never again be thought of as alive. During climactic events Cecil often cuts directly to the weather. Instead of a broadcast of the conditions of Night Vale, however, the program then plays a single song. These songs are varying in style, genre and the capability to be heard by human ears. Though the podcast is free to listeners, there is a donation link on the web page that rewards contributors with mentions on the next podcast or, for those who give substantial amounts, a personal thank you from Cecil Baldwin via video. Unlike many operations with far nobler causes, “Welcome to Night Vale” has ample funding and has progressed from producing solely through podcast to having live shows across the country. Each show has sold out within minutes of the tickets being released, in accordance with the huge fan base. Perhaps, to some, Night Vale may seem like a strange place, but to its fictitious inhabitants, and thousands of listeners across the globe, it feels like home. The unantici-

continued from page 1 that our passions are alike,” Welch said of working with his friend. “We love all aspects of Southern culture, and we love the Southern style. As admission counselors, higher education is extremely important to us, and we found that the best way to combine our two greatest passions of the Southern lifestyle and higher education was to start The Good South.” The pair opened The Good South at the end of 2013 as an online retailer selling bow ties, T-shirts and hats handmade in the Deep South. Beginning in May, a portion of their yearly proceeds will be awarded through The Good South Scholarship to an entering or current college student with a passion for service. Nelson and Welch hope that Ole Miss students, and students in general, will be inspired to try their own hand at entrepreneurship. Welch, a marketing graduate of the Ole Miss business school, said that the opportunities afforded him as an undergraduate allowed for today’s success. “The business school provided me with opportunities and tools that have become a sound
foundation for personal success,” Welch said. “I was able to meet with entrepreneurs, hear business leaders speak and receive meaningful advice.” Nelson majored in biology while studying at the university and said that his involvement in campus life allowed him to build professional skills in use today. “I fell under the College of Liberal Arts and am, to this day, appreciative of the wellroundedness of my degree,” Nelson said. “I received the foundations of communication, working with others and critical thinking in classes, and I know that campus involvement has helped us as well. From meeting extended members of the Ole Miss family, learning diverse communication skills, leadership skills and time management, I feel that we had well-rounded experiences.” Welch encourages students to seek out professional development opportunities. “I was fortunate to serve as a student adviser on the Business Advisor Board and, through that experience, was able to meet with business leaders across the state, South and nation,” he said. Nelson, an alumnus of the Associated Student Body and
Student Programming Board, similarly appreciates the connections established in his time at Ole Miss. “All of the organizations I had the opportunity to be involved in contributed to my success, but campaigning helped me to learn the most,” Nelson said. The pair believe that The Good South represents an intersection of their experience as admission counselors and Southern entrepreneurs. “We sell items that best represent what we love about the South while creating opportunities for both current and college-bound students through The Good South Scholarship fund,” Welch said. “This year, we will award our first four scholarships to current undergraduates and college-bound students, because we want to reward committed students.” Nelson said that giving back to the communities they serve as admission counselors was a primary goal in starting the business. “We come across thousands of students each year, meeting future doctors, lawyers, artists and teachers,” Nelson said. “While the students we meet are extremely diverse, they all share the same concern: the need for scholarship money.

After repeatedly hearing this concern, we decided we wanted to do something to help.” Welch said that The Good South is also seeking two interns. “We would love to host Ole Miss students as interns, and
are looking for a graphic design and brand photography intern,” he said. The Good South will award its first scholarships in May. An application is available online at www.thegoodsouth.com/ pages/our-cause.

the way up to 18-8.25 (5.70m) that matched his own school record and the best by an American this year. But he missed all three tries from 1810.25, which Barber cleared to establish a new Canadian national record and win the NCAA title. The marks from both athletes rank them top 10 in NCAA indoor history. Ole Miss received eight team points for his runner-up finish. It was the best NCAA indoor finish for Kendricks, who was third at last year’s championships. He was the NCAA outdoor champion a
year ago. Miller, a freshman from Tunica, Miss., finished eighth in a very fast 60 meter dash final to score one team point. His time of 6.69 was off his season best of 6.61, but he still became the first Ole Miss men’s freshman to score points in the 60 at the NCAA indoor meet since teammate Mike Granger in 2010. Florida State’s Dentarius Locke won the NCAA 60 meter title in 6.52. All eight runners clocked times under 6.70. “A lot of different emotions
tonight,” O’Neal said. “From elation to realizing just how close we were to a top-15 finish. It was definitely not for a lack of effort.” Oregon captured the NCAA team title on both the men’s and women’s sides. The Rebels will now turn their attention to the outdoor season, which begins next weekend at home. The Ole Miss Open is set for Saturday, March 22, at the Ole Miss Track & Field Complex.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Ole Miss athletes Sam Kendricks and Jalen Miller both scored points to help the Rebels finish tied for 24th in the men’s team standings at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center. It was the second straight top-25 NCAA indoor finish and third straight top-25 NCAA finish overall for head coach Brian O’Neal’s men. The Rebels placed 23rd at last year’s indoor meet and a program-best eighth at last year’s

Rebels top No.24 Kentucky 4-2 Freshman Zalina Khairudinova won a second set tiebreaker to close out a straight set win against Kentucky’s Aldila Sutjiadi and clinch a 4-2 victory for the No. 38 ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team against No. 24 Kentucky here Sunday at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis. With the win, the Rebels split the weekend and improve to 8-5 overall and 2-4 in the SEC. Kentucky dropped to 14-4 overall and 4-2 in the SEC. Ole Miss has now won six straight against Kentucky, including three in a row in Oxford. The Rebels won the doubles point and picked up wins at No. 6 and No. 4 singles before Khairudinova closed it out at No. 1. “We were able to get a quick doubles point, but then they came back in singles,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “We didn’t play quite as well as we did on Friday, but we fought back in some matches. Mai came back in her match, Iris fought back from a set down and 5-3. Those are important for the overall score, so
Kentucky doesn’t get another point. It came down to a tiebreaker. Overall, I thought Kentucky fought really hard, and we were fortunate to come away with a 4-2 victory.” The Rebels came out of the lockerroom on fire in doubles. Kentucky was forced to retire after playing only one game at No. 2 doubles when their No.1 player, Nadia Ravita, hurt her back. With the Rebels needing only one of the remaining two matches to clinch the point, Erin Stephens and Iris Verboven finished off an 8-3 win over 56th-ranked CeCe Witten and Caitlin McGraw at No. 1 doubles. The Rebels were leading 7-3 at No. 3 doubles. Both teams split the first sets in singles. The coaches switched the lower part of the lineup, moving Stephens down to No. 6 singles this weekend, hoping to get her confidence back after some tough losses. She responded Sunday, downing Stephanie Fox 6-2, 6-1 to make it 2-0 Rebels. Kentucky got on the board when Edmee Morin handed
Julia Jones her second straight loss, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 3 singles. Mai El Kamash, one of three Rebels to drop her first set, picked up her game in the second set and rallied to win her match 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4 singles to give the Rebels the 3-1 lead. The Wildcats would not go away though, as Kelsey Dieters finished off a comeback of her own, defeating Rebel senior Caroline Rohde-Moe 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 at No. 2 singles to make it 3-2. With Iris Verboven having just started her third set against UK’s McGraw on court five, Khairudinova made sure her match would not be needed. Khairudinova served for the first set against Sutjiadi at 5-3, but didn’t get it. She broke again at 5-5 and served it out 7-5. Once again in the second set, Khairudinova built a 5-3 lead and served for the match. She had three match points, but Sutjiadi staved off all three to stay it in and eventually get to a tiebreaker. Khairudinova won the first two points of the tie-

break, but then Sutjiadi won four straight for a 4-2 lead. Khairudinova answered with three straight points of her own to regain the lead 5-4. Sutjiadi netted the next point, leaving Khairudinova with two more match points. She got the second one to clinch the 4-2 victory. “It was definitely a tough match,” Khairudinova said.
“She was a good player. She was playing well, but I stayed disciplined and was able to close it out. I am really proud of my team. We beat a good team; it was a great day for the Rebels.” The Rebels will now hit the road for their next three SEC matches beginning with Arkansas Friday, March 21 in Fayetteville.
