Letter to the Editor: for what it’s worth We need to talk about speaking truth to power and the usefulness of anger — or, as any good product of the Bible Belt calls it, righteous indignation. I commend the student leaders for organizing a very well-attended rally in support of Chancellor Jones. It is refreshing to see students take an active interest in their university and speak out in favor of a generally productive leader. But, the overall timidity of the proceedings was disheartening. In the effort to maintain a “respectable” face, the organizers sacrificed the chance to connect emotionally and prod for further action — or even articulatTHE DAILY

ing what that action would look like. Throughout the rally, the words of Buffalo Springfield’s protest song “For What It’s Worth” kept popping back into my head: “There’s something happening here. But what it is ain’t exactly clear.” After spending an hour with a couple thousand of my best friends in the Grove, I came away feeling depressed that students had failed to express any indignation over the IHL hijacking our university to satisfy their own whims. Instead, I heard speakers reprimand students for booing and explicitly tell the IHL that we don’t think they were “wrong,” just mis-

guided. Well, the IHL was wrong. And, as Dr. Khayat and others have expressed, it is wrong that the state of Mississippi allows the IHL to exist and have the kind of authority over individual institutions that it currently has. This decision should make people angry—not just because Chancellor Jones is such a nice guy, but because it represents another example of the national politicization of higher education. Sure, anger can be destructive, but it can also be constructive and uniting. Treating the IHL with kid gloves only legitimizes them; it treats them as rational, adult actors instead

of calling them out for failing to uphold the same standards of fairness and rationally that we expect of the UM community. It is one thing to expect people at the rally to behave civilly. It is a wholly other thing— one far more troubling for our community—when we equate civility with passivity and gentility.

OPINION | 26 MARCH 2015 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 3
To the Members of the Board of Trustees:
Dan Jones was chosen to become the university’s next chancellor only a few weeks after a new student-led staff had taken over The Daily Mississippian back in 2009. We scrapped our front-page plans the day the official announcement was made to run a full-page photo of him and his wife, Lydia, with the words, “Welcome to Ole Miss, Chancellor Jones.” It wasn’t the first time Jones consumed the front page, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last. Most will remember Jones’s first year as one steeped in controversy over his decision to support two student-led initiatives involving an offensive chant and the development of a new mascot after Colonel Reb was removed from the field years earlier. A common misconception is that Jones spearheaded these issues himself, which simply wasn’t true. They were developed by student leaders who sought support from the administration; Jones responded by doing what he believed a university administrator is obligated to do: support what the students want, particularly when it comes to spirit-related decisions. Those tumultuous first semesters yielded countless articles, columns and editorial board meetings hinged upon this new chancellor and why he so willingly jumped in the middle of such controversial topics so soon. That staff found itself on the receiving end of hate mail, threats and a constant reminder that few on
campus seemed to be on board with this new chancellor and his idea of change. Over the years, we told the story of how the university evolved and ultimately thrived under Chancellor Jones. While the chancellor didn’t always agree with our reporting or the opinions published regarding his leadership, he respected our right to produce an editorially independent publication and made himself immediately available to us every step of the way. Though student support for Dan Jones seems to have grown significantly compared to those first difficult months, our core belief about the chancellor has remained the same for six years and has continued to resonate through the pages of The DM throughout Jones’s tenure: Dan Jones wants the best for the university and will do whatev-
er it takes for it to succeed. Even if it means being the most hated man on campus. Even if he risks losing his job because some members of the IHL think wearing a red and blue tie is all it takes to show support for the university while cutting it off at its knees. Jones’s work at Ole Miss gave us an alma mater and a state we could be proud of. The indefensible decision to terminate him gives outsiders a reason to tell us why we’re wrong. We are tired of apologizing for the state of Mississippi.

Ryan Felder, fellow co-organizer of the event, gave a speech about the creed. Felder was amazed by the large attedence at the event and did not think people were going to show up prior to the event. In his speech, he expressed to the crowd how Jones abides and lives by the creed. “As the leader of our university community, Chancellor Jones truly attempts to uphold these values, but, more than that, he encourages us to try to do the same, not with words or Face-

Excited chants and cheers erupted in front of the Lyceum Wednesday as 2,500 Ole Miss students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the Oxford community gathered to support the reinstatement of University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones. Phillip Waller, junior and director of communications for the “I Stand with Chancellor Jones” rally, started the event by welcoming and thanking everyone who donated their time and money in support of the rally. “This rally would have not been possible without the support from you,” Waller said. “Again, thank you for all the many concerned groups that

Thank you.” The speech was followed by several readings of resolutions by Pearce Crosland, representing the Associated Student Body, Michael Barnett, Faculty Senate chair and Carl Hill, Staff Council president. Chants followed, such as “Dan, Dan, he’s our man. We won’t let this decision stand” and “We stand with Dan,” led by rally organizers. The speeches were concluded with the Ole Miss Alma Mater and closing remarks were made
by Allen Coon, rally social media director, and senior classics major Sierra Mannie. Mannie said under Jones’ leadership she has felt safe on the Ole Miss campus as a person and woman of color. “Those who truly love Ole Miss push forward for necessary change, leadership and inclusiveness for all who wish to be educated here. It is laughable to act as if impeding progress is somehow healthy for the university’s continued success. For Ole Miss to grow and rightfully be the flagship university for the state of Mississippi, it’s student body, it’s alumni and all of it’s supporters must not only support Dr. Jones but also allow those whose experiences are germane to the issues of whether or not he should be here.”

Personally, I love University of Mississippi students. I love this place, it is home to me. I have a couple of degrees from here. It is very much home to me. I am out here because I am very concerned about the way in which Dan Jones was removed from office without any kind of coordination between IHL and the administration, faculty, staff and students on campus to even give us our concerns. No consideration is very concerning to me.
-- Beth Spencer
I felt like he wanted the best for everyone and not just black people, and white people, but everyone. And I just felt like that was something that needs to be stood by, and he needed my support, and so, I came out to support him, and also I just think he is a great leader, and our university has been excelling with him at the number one spot, and so I want him back.
-- Ike Hill
senior accountancy major
I love to see the student support, it is very important. This was organized by students. It comes from inside the school, and their the ones who are impacted the most. So, that makes me very hopeful at the very least, even though whatever happens, the students will never forget this.

Media reports: negotiations underway Several media outlets reported on Wednesday night that negotiations are taking place between Chancellor Dan Jones and the Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees. Former Mississippi Gov. William Winter, an Ole Miss alumnus, told the Associated Press Wednesday he’s acted as an intermediary between Jones and the board. “I was simply appealing to the best judgment of everyone concerned,” Winter said. Alan Perry, vice president of the board, said it’s possible some kind of settlement could be reached, according to the Associated Press. Caron Blanton, director of communications for the IHL, told The Daily Mississippian Wednesday evening she did not have any knowledge of negotiations occuring in Oxford or Jackson.

It just shows that while we have differences day-to-day, that when there’s a common cause, we can all come together the way a family should. Students, staff, faculty, alumni, we can all come together as a community, and that’s what a family does. If somebody in your family has been unjustly and unfairly attacked, you come together, and you support them, and that’s what we’re doing.

I think his efforts on increasing diversity are stated right here, and the amazing job he’s done on fundraising. These are two incredible accomplishments, and the whole atmosphere, how it’s such a collegial place to work which is not always the case on university campuses, and we are privileged to have somebody of his caliber here. You don’t find administrators with the compassion and the ability and the desire and the willingness to do the work that has to be done every day, and when you’ve got a proven winner, why in the world would you get rid of him? It just doesn’t make sense.

Oxford Kroger will double in size with the building of a new Kroger Marketplace. The current store is 54,000 square feet and will be expanding to 123,000 square feet with its new addition. To put that in perspective, Oxford’s Walmart is 203,000 square feet. Construction will begin in 2016 and includes the addition of clothing, home goods, small appliances and a bistro. Teresa Dickerson, spokeswoman for Kroger, said that among those changes will also be an open-air seafood market and an expanded natural food section. The new store will retain the groceries, pharmacy, produce, meat counter and gas station found at the current store. Customers will not have to

put their shopping on hold during construction. While the new store is in its various phases of construction, customers will still be able to shop at the building. Kroger is looking to provide a pleasurable shopping experience for its loyal Oxford customers, but students do not see this expansion as an entirely positive change. “I think that Oxford is growing way too fast,” said Michael Drew Turner, Ole Miss freshman and Oxford native. “They keep trying to put a bunch of franchises in Oxford instead of one-of-a-kind stores and restaurants that make Oxford the unique place it is.” Other students expressed concern for other reasons. “What we really need is a Target,” freshman Kelsey Knecht said. “I wish they would use the money to obtain a good Target instead of

Tribute to Michael Houser at Proud Larry’s tonight
& Salvage Co., Adam Stern, guitarist and pedal steel player for Sam Holt Band, Ross Parker on bass and Jeremy Ward on drums will be preforming at the show to honor Houser. Fans of Houser, patrons of American rock music and general music lovers are all welcome to attend this touching event. For what better way to honor the life of a man who loved music so much than to allow him to live on and continue touching the hearts of others than through music? “We’ve been getting great responses from the few shows like this we have done,” Holt said. “Personally, it makes me happy to play this show. There are people who saw him play as well as those who did not attending the shows.”
MCKENNA WIERMAN
mckenna.wierman@yahoo.com
The musically gifted are often not given due credit while they are on stage, preforming with all their heart and soul for listeners, taking us to different times and places with their music, manipulating our mood with tunes, changing our hearts with lyrics. Tonight at 8 p.m., Proud Larry’s will again act as a haven for good music as it hosts “Remembering Mikey” to pay tribute to the music and memory of American rock legend Michael Houser. Houser, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2002, was a musician and founding member of the American rock band Widespread Panic. He was, according to surviving band member Sam Holt, supremely talented. “He was a down to earth, humble man who was a supremely talented guitarist and songwriter,” Holt said. “He touched many people with his music.” Holt, currently a member of The Sam Holt Band, was once a guitar tech for Widespread Panic and Houser during his time with the band. After Houser passed, Holt occasionally sat in with Widespread Panic before taking over lead guitar duties in 2006. By 2007, Holt left Widespread Panic to pursue his own band, known as Outformation, but following his relocation to Colorado in 2011 formed The Sam Holt
COURTESY: SAM HOLT
Band. Holt was a dear friend of Houser and credits him in part for his musical pursuits. Holt announced the “Remembering Mikey” tour as a way for friends and fans to pay tribute to the musician in the way Houser would have wanted – through music. “This event will attempt to celebrate the music and memory of Michael Houser.,” Holt said. “We will play many songs he wrote as well as some I wrote that were influenced and inspired by him.” Holt is excited to get the chance to celebrate the life of a man who touched the lives of so many through his music. The event will consist of songs written and performed
by the late Houser, in addition to some songs written in memory of or inspired by the guitarist. Some may remember Widespread Panic’s popularity among Southern Rock fans in the early 2000s, leading up to Houser’s retirement and untimely death in 2002. Holt contributed to seven studio albums during his 16-year stretch as a band member. His adolescent nickname, “Panic,” would later become inspiration for his band’s name when Widespread Panic formed in 1986. The lasting legacy he created with the band continues on through his tribute tour. In addition to Holt, Adam Grace, keyboardist for Truth

It is father-son part two tonight in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at the Murphy Center. Ole Miss head coach Matt Insell squares off against his father, Middle Tennessee head coach Rick Insell, for the second time this season as the Rebels take on the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. “It is going to be a big crowd. Everyone in the middle Tennessee area is going to be there,” Insell said in the Georgia Tech postgame. “I think they will bring a big crowd, and their fans are really excited about it. We are going to go down there and play basketball. That is just what we do. We have played in front of big crowds, and we’ll be ready to go.” The win against Georgia Tech on Sunday gave Ole Miss its fourth straight win at the Tad Smith Coliseum and moved the Rebels 3-0 in WNIT games played in Oxford. The win also puts Ole Miss one win away from their first 20-win season since 2006-07. The Rebels moved to 4-5 in WNIT games and 22-22

coming off a 70-60 victory over Arkansas State in the second round of the WNIT. Middle Tennessee has two dynamic scorers in sophomore guard Olivia Jones and Cheyenne Parker who average 19.6 and 18.6 points per game respectively and also rebound the ball well, combining for 19.4 rebounds per game. Sophomore guard Ty Petty is a factor as well; she averages 11.1 points per game. They have been key to guiding Rick Insell back to postseason. The trio accounts for 68 percent of the team’s points and score around 72 points per game. Middle Tennessee has done a good job of suffocating their opponent’s offenses, limiting them to 59 points per game. In the first game of the WNIT, Ole Miss put together a collective effort from everybody to seal the win over UT-Martin. Veterans Faleru, Sisk and senior forward Danielle McCray drove the team against Georgia Tech. In this next round, as long as Faleru is on her game, the Rebels may have revenge against the Blue Raiders, and Insell may just get a win over his father.

Laquon Treadwell improving on the road to recovery CODY THOMASON
csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
Ole Miss played its final four games of the season without its best playmaker after then-sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell went down with a fractured tibia and dislocated ankle. Quarterback Bo Wallace’s passing took a drastic hit by the subtraction of his number one target, and, at times, the Rebel wide receivers struggled to get open against the increased attention on them without Treadwell drawing some of the defense away from them. Now, almost five months later, Treadwell has made impressive strides in his rehab and is well on the road to recovery. Head coach Hugh Freeze said he was pleased with Treadwell’s progress but is still holding him out from certain parts of practice. “He went through one-on-ones and routes versus air today, but we haven’t put him in any team situations yet,” Freeze said. Redshirt sophomore quarterbacks DeVante Kincade and Ryan Buchanan are also impressed by his recovery so far. The quarterbacks are still battling for the starting job for the 2015 campaign, and life will be a lot easier once Treadwell returns. Kincade expressed his happi-

butt off to come back and to come back as fast as he has,” Buchanan said. “He’s looking good and is looking stronger each day.” Even Treadwell was surprised by how far along he’s gotten in his rehab. “It’s just a blessing,” Treadwell said. “I don’t even feel normal running right now, but it’s hap-

pening, so I’m just trying to get the swing of it.” With the harsh nature of his injury, many people did not see Treadwell making it back by the time spring practice came around. “It went very fast,” Treadwell said. “Getting an injury like that, it’s more mental, so I was thinking of so much stuff at the time,
but (the recovery) goes fast, even if you don’t always see it.” While he’s made huge strides in his recovery, Treadwell still believes he is not 100 percent healthy yet. There is still time to recover more and get back to full strength. “I think about (the injury) a little bit, but I don’t think it’s going to go on for much longer,” Treadwell said. “I think I’ll get my rhythm back in a couple of weeks.” As of right now, there’s no exact timetable for when Treadwell can return at full strength. “A week, week or two, a month. I’m really not sure. Every day it feels different,” Treadwell said. “One day, it’ll probably feel sore. The next day, I can run routes on it. It’s just a process.” Treadwell said the hardest part of the rehab process hasn’t been the exercises and drills to regain strength in his leg like many would expect. Instead, it’s being away from the game. “Seeing (my teammates) in pads and not being able to go out there and play with them,” Treadwell said. “I worked out a little bit with them in the spring workouts with running and everything, but, as far as being out there and competing with them, I just miss all that.”

Diamond Rebels hit the road to face Arkansas this week

The Rebels are hoping for a win this week on the road at Arkansas after being swept in the doubleheader against UAB Tuesday. It was a disappointing performance in every aspect of the game for the Rebels in the doubleheader, as hitting and pitching lacked immensely. The high-powered bats in the Rebel lineup struggled, totaling 11 hits and two runs scored total in both games of the doubleheader. Eight hits were in the first game and three hits were in the second game. The struggles of the pitching staff continued for the Rebels as the challenge to find a solid midweek starter continued. Senior right-hander Sam Smith continued his early season struggles, allowing four runs on three hits in only three innings of work in the loss of game one of the doubleheader. Sophomore left-hander Evan Anderson struggled along with Smith, surrendering three runs on six hits in 3.2 innings of work. Anderson, the normal midweek starter, has not been the answer during the week, and it has cost

pitching rotation is a huge problem facing the Rebels for the rest of the season. They’ll need to find answers to those problems quickly as they face a good Arkansas team on the road for a three-game series starting tonight. The Razorbacks have had a hard time so far this season, holding a 11-12 overall record going 1-5 in Southeastern Conference play. The Razorbacks were swept by the defending national champions the Vanderbilt Commodores and dropped two out of three against LSU at home. The Razorbacks have also had some puzzling losses over the season, including Loyola-Marymount, Gonzaga and Southeastern Missouri. Arkansas will be coming off a home-and-home series against Memphis before their matchup against Ole Miss. The last time Ole Miss and Arkansas played, Arkansas knocked the Rebels out of the 2014 SEC Tournament 8-7. Arkansas is led by sophomore right-hander Dominic Taccolini who is the anchor of the pitching staff. The Sugar Land, Texas, native is 4-2 on the season with a 3.21 ERA. Taccolini will get the start tonight against senior left-hander Christian Trent in what looks to be a great pitch-
ing matchup. Taccolini is not the only solid starter in the rotation as junior right-hander Trey Killian has emerged as the second starter in the Razorback rotation. Killian will get the start Friday for Arkansas since he has pitched well as the second starter in the rotation. Four Razorbacks are hitting over a .300 average for the season and are batting .291 as a team. The offense is led by junior infielder Bobby Werns and sophomore outfielder Andrew Benintendi. Werns is batting .338 for the season, and Benintendi leads the Razorbacks with 26 hits, 22 RBIs and six home runs on the season. Even with a 13-12 overall record, there is no need to panic yet for Ole Miss; the Rebels have played the nation’s toughest with the opponents having a winning percentage of .680. The last time the Rebels started with a similar record was in 2006. Ole Miss started 13-11 overall that year and finished with a 44-22 overall record. The offense will need to put up more runs, and the back end of the starting rotation needs to perform better in order for Ole Miss to win a series against another SEC opponent on the road.
