New technology for education GAY RIGHTS ACTIVISTS LIGHT THE WAY Ole Miss School of Education students are being prepared for classroom settings in a unique, interactive way. BY Houston Brock thedmnews@gmail.com
In its second semester in The University of Mississippi’s School of Education, TeachLive is preparing future teachers in an innovative way. TeachLive is a simulation program that allows education students to gain experience in the classroom. Using Skype, students are asked to give a 10-minute presentation to avatars displayed on a screen. The avatars are controlled by humans that the student teacher cannot see. Larry Christman, adjunct instructor in teacher education, could not confirm that the people who control these avatars are actually children, but he did say that the responses and movements were authentically human. Christman, a former principal at Oxford Elementary, said he thinks the TeachLive program is a great way for students to get teaching experience. “The juniors have not done any public speaking
where they’re up in front of people,” Christman said. “It’s also their first introduction to classroom management.” The program simulates a variety of children’s personalities. One of the kids is a special education student. The pre-service teachers must make adjustments for their needs without making it obvious to the rest of the students. Talkative, disruptive or quiet children make appearances as well, and the teachers have to teach their lesson plans to the avatar students while keeping them under control. The teachers’ movements are documented through two motion-detector cameras that are set up in the classroom and correspond to the virtual classroom displayed in front of them. Junior elementary education major Angela Rushing completed her second lesson plan on Tuesday. She said the first time was a learning experience for See TEACHLIVE, PAGE 3

Tuesday night, gay rights activists gathered in front of Oxford’s federal courthouse during the Light the Way to Justice Candlelight Vigil. The event was organized by Barbara Bugg, a representative of GetEqual Mississippi. On Wednesday afternoon, Ole Miss faculty and students filmed an “It Gets Better” video on the steps of the Lyceum. The video is a part of the online campaign that supports LGBT youth. These events illustrate support for equality and coincide with the U.S. Supreme Court’s hearings concerning California’s Proposition 8 and the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act.
Library ambassadors reach out through textbook drive UM Library Ambassadors is working with WorldWide Book Drive to collect books throughout the semester, including two events during finals week. BY Kayla Carpenter krcarpen@go.olemiss.edu
Of the multiple events hosted throughout the semester by the Ambassadors, the textbook drive is one of the biggest and will be an ongoing project. “Worldwide contacted me because they heard about what we were doing with this group and how it was really big on our campus,” Library Ambassadors adviser Amy Mark said. “They provide free shipping (to Worldwide) and help us keep up with how many books count for the fundraising.” According to the J.D. Wil-
liams library website, the Library Ambassadors are a group that represents and promotes the library at campus events and raises awareness of the library’s program and service. Worldwide Book Drive will pay $1 to the Library Ambassadors for each book that is less than 5 years old, and the money will fund additional programs for the group. There are currently several bins around campus for students to drop off books. “There are bins located in the Union, in the library and by Starbucks,” Mark said. “Although our emphasis is on
textbooks, we take any kind of books, so students can get rid of those books that they don’t need anymore.” According to its website, Worldwide Book Drive is a social venture, not a nonprofit organization. This is not the first time the group has worked with the organization. “Last semester we did a book drive through this organization to benefit (the) American Association (of) University Women in order to help women in need, and they assisted in fundraising for that book drive,” junior criminal justice major Austin Sigl said. “It was really
successful, so we decided to do it again.” During the last few weeks of school, including finals week, the Library Ambassadors expect donations to increase. “During finals week, when students are selling back their books, we want to encourage them to donate textbooks that may be outdated or that they do not need,” Sigl said. ”We will have a table set up outside of the Union.” The group also encourages teachers to donate old textbooks that they do not use in class anymore. The ambassadors will be collecting books at

two events during finals week. They will host a pet-a-pup day and a game night. “I encourage anyone interested in the library to join our group,” Mark said.

This past Friday, my seniorclass colleagues in the Croft Institute for International Studies and I hit a milestone in our undergraduate education: we turned in the second drafts of our senior theses for edits and review. After beginning the projects in August, it was a relief to turn in nearly finished products and see the hard work of seven months come to fruition. While not all programs at Ole Miss require a thesis for graduation, the Croft Institute and honors college are two that do. The freshmen in both programs are told by their academic advisers — and procrastinating seniors — to start thinking about possible topics

In 2010, Florida pastor Terry Jones announced that he would burn Qurans on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by al-Qaida. This announcement sparked outrage around the world, particularly in Muslim countries, where riots and murders were the normal response to a simple announcement of intention to burn the Quran. The civilized world responded in kind, however. Politicians and media pundits around the world sharply criticized Jones, calling him every name in the book.

my time management, research and writing skills in a way that was much more ambitious than the typical undergraduate applicant. In the end, I know it helped me get my job offer. As daunting, stressful and frustrating writing a senior thesis may be, I definitely do not regret the adventure. I know that I have grown as a person because of it, and the experience is something I will be able to draw upon for years to come. Although an undergraduate thesis may not be comparable to a master’s thesis or dissertation, the importance of the project cannot be understated. It remains a hallmark of programs like the honors college and Croft, and it sets the students apart from others across the nation.

Religious intolerance, a double standard

the bitter end this year and turned in their second draft ask why it had to be a graduation requirement at all. This past fall, as the project hung on my conscience like a cloud, I found myself with the same doubts as my classmates. The time and stress that went into the research and writing process was daunting at times, and I couldn’t see how the project was going to help me further my academic or career goals. Instead, I thought it was distracting me from giving my classes the attention they deserved. It was not until I started interviewing for jobs this winter that I realized how writing an undergraduate thesis set me apart from my competition. Not only were interviewers impressed when I told them about the project, but the experience of writing the thesis actually helped me answer many of the interview questions they had. I came to the meetings able to talk about

early on, but most put it in the back of their minds until junior year at the earliest. After all, graduation is years away, right? The best advice I ever had in regard to my senior thesis was to choose a topic that interested me. From experience, I can say that even though everyone gets frustrated with their research topic at least once during the process, having a real interest in the outcome of the thesis helped to propel me forward when the last thing I wanted to do was research or write. Starting the project is a daunting task in itself, and many students end up with more than 60 pages by the time it’s all said and done. After all of this work, is it really worth it? A select few students in the Croft Institute and honors college from my year decided to quit the programs altogether in order to avoid the thesis. Other students who stuck through to

“Religious intolerance” was thrown around without regard. Contrast that reaction with a recent incident at Florida Atlantic University. A professor, who is a top official in the local Democratic Party, instructed students to write the name “Jesus” on a piece of paper then to stomp on it. One student, however, decided not to participate in the activity that he considered offensive. As a result, this student was suspended from FAU. President Obama has not publicly come out against FAU officials for religious intolerance as he did against Jones. Additionally, nonconservative media is mysteriously silent on this issue. Due to the outrage from Christian and conservative outlets, FAU has announced the de-

cision has been reversed. Welcome to the new America, where publicly protesting a religion that is stuck in the Middle Ages is horrendous, but requiring students to stomp on the name of Jesus is educational. Apparently, religious tolerance is only extended to religions that are not Judeo-Christian. It is interesting that liberals so vehemently cry for tolerance when it deals with Islam. After all, Shariah law requires the death penalty for certain crimes, including homosexuality, and makes a miscarriage a crime. Further, women are supposed to be completely subordinate to men. Surely that fits well with the progressive platform. I write this article as if I am surprised by the blatant hypocrisy coming from the left.

In reality, though, I guess I shouldn’t be. After all, I have pointed out multiple examples of such double standards from the “free-thinking” side of thought. Maybe one day those who preach acceptance and tolerance will begin to practice it. Merriam-Webster defines “tolerate” as: “to allow to be or to be done without prohibition, hindrance, or contradiction.” Am I the only one who thinks that screaming intolerance and bigotry at those who disagree with their opinions is intolerant? But, like I said, I am not surprised to hear it. After all, liberal and double-standard should be synonyms in the thesaurus. Trenton Winford is a junior public policy leadership major from Madison.

Relay For Life set for April The University of Mississippi will host its fourth annual Relay for Life Event on April 19. BY Caty Cambron & katherinr carr thedmnews@gmail.com
The University of Mississippi will dedicate a day to the fight against cancer at the Ole Miss Relay for Life on April 19. All proceeds from the event benefit the American Cancer Society. From 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., students, faculty, staff and other members of the Ole Miss community can participate in the overnight walk in the Lyceum Circle. Survivors of cancer are urged to participate and will be recognized and escorted through the Circle by The Columns Society of Ole Miss. The fundraising goal for this year’s event is $100,000, according to Tracy Brooks, assistant professor of pharmacology and this year’s Relay for Life faculty adviser. “There are very few people I’ve met that haven’t in one way or another been affected by cancer,” Brooks said. “I think it helps students feel connected to that person who had or has cancer, feel like they’re doing something positive to make a difference.” In addition to joining teams or organizing fundraisers, students can also volunteer to set up luminaria, small paper lanterns that will light the paths of participants in honor or memory of people affected by cancer. Junior integrated marketing communications major and committee co-chair Patrick Salter said there are three ceremonies included in the event. “The opening ceremony will represent ‘Celebration,’ the luminaria ceremony will be to ‘Remember’ and the closing ceremony represents us ‘Fighting Back,’” Salter said.
The theme for this year’s event is “Decades.” Teams are encouraged to pick their own decade and dress accordingly. There will be live music, food and entertainment such as a dance competition and different games each hour of the event. So far, 39 teams and 382 participants have already raised $13,138.50, according to the Relay for Life website. Angels for A Cure, representing Pi Beta Phi sorority, currently leads the fundraising with $2,201. Angels captain Lindsey Harry, junior communication sciences and disorders major, said her team has been motivated to raise money by their personal experiences with cancer. “Our chapter president (from) two years ago is a cancer survivor, so it’s something we really hold dear to us,” Harry said. Harry said that while the groups are competing against each other, they are fighting for the same cause.

her. She wasn’t sure how to deal with a student who was texting. “I didn’t really know how to do it, I guess,” Rushing said. “I didn’t think about taking her cell phone because I can’t actually take her phone.” Rushing said that knowing what to expect makes all the difference. “These kids are acting like kids act,” she said. “They’re not sitting there nicely.”

Junior secondary education major Tristan Lowe had his first TeachLive lesson plan on Tuesday. Lowe explained it as a simulation of rowdy kids, something he knows he will face in the future. “I thought it would be actual face-to-face people,” Lowe said. “The avatars kind of threw me off a little bit, so that was a little different.”
Christman said that for some of these juniors, it is the first time they have ever taught anything. “They come in here and they’re scared, but you can see their confidence growing the more they get into it,” Christman said. “Most of them tell me when they leave that they enjoy it and that they wouldn’t mind doing it again.”

Owning a dog isn’t as easy as you think
College students miss having their pet from home, so they pop over to the shelter and adopt a dog. Here are some things to consider before owning a dog. BY CAMILLE MULLINS camillemullins@gmail.com

Getting a dog is a lot to think about. For a person who is interested in adopting an animal, plan for it as if you were planning for a pregnancy because children and dogs are similar in terms of preparation and expense – only this child will never grow up to take care of itself. Dogs are very timeconsuming In the beginning, the dog must be house-trained, and this means no more mornings of sleeping in. A dog likes to get up at about 6 a.m. and must be taken out every one to two hours. Once it is trained, it can usually wait six to eight hours to go out, but letting it outside is going to be your responsibility every day for the rest of the dog’s life. “Owners who cannot give the time and attention to a dog (that) they accept responsibility for do them much more harm than good,” said Cindy Leigh, member of the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society Board of Directors and of Small Paws Rescue. “No matter how good intentions are, anyone interested in having a pet needs to ask whether this is the best thing to do for the pet.”
Dogs are high maintenance After you have purchased a dog, you have a life that depends on you. That means you have to consider every second of its day, and you have to be sure that you are doing what is best. You are taking on another mouth to feed. It cannot be responsible for its personal care. Even the smallest breeds require daily exercise, play time and potty breaks. Leanna Young, senior print journalism major, adopted a 5-month-old puppy before Christmas, and she described owning a puppy as a rollercoaster ride of rewards and exhaustion. “I have (woken) up every single day at 5 a.m. since I got Luna,” Young said. “I literally don’t have to set an alarm for the next day because she wakes me up at the same time every day with her big feet hitting me in the eyeballs.” If you don’t have the patience for a child, you are not ready for a puppy. Dogs require a lot of attention Depending on the breed and dog, some can require at least two one-hour walks per day. If they do not get out and have some mental or physical stimulation, you can kiss your coffee table legs goodbye.

Samantha Moore, senior elementary education major, has owned her dog Scout for over two years and said she believes owning a dog is a fun experience as long as the owner is willing to make the effort. “I personally think it’s easy to own a dog if you want the dog,” Moore said. “If you aren’t willing to put in the proper time, then of course the dog isn’t going to behave like you want, and you will probably end up taking it back.” Dogs are expensive Money is needed less as the dog gets older, but it’s always a key factor. At first you will need to buy all the starting things for your dog: a bed, a leash, a tag, toys, shampoo and a crate. Dogs don’t stay the same size forever; you will need to invest in at least four different sizes of kennels throughout the dog’s life. Monthly items like food, worm and parasite medications, toys for chewing and exercise, a leash, a harness, kennels, bedding, towels and vet visits are also needed. It all adds up if you take proper care of your dog; it could cost from $1,500 to $3,000 a year. Initial vet care for most rescued dogs is about $200$600, depending on whether the shelter or rescue group has already had the dog spayed/neutered, given it shots for the year and taken care of dental and other treatment needs. “There are the random vet visits that you might have. They get sick just like us,” Moore said. “I wish someone (had) told me about that.” Finally, you also have to think about where you live. Your rent may go up because you own a dog, you may have to pay a pet fee or you may not be allowed to have a dog at all.

The Ole Miss softball team will play its second home Southeastern Conference series of the season against No. 3 Florida beginning Friday. The Rebels ( 19-18, 1-8 SEC) are looking to bounce back after a three-game sweep at Georgia last weekend. The Rebels enter the weekend hitting just .270 as a team, but they have six players hitting over .300 this season. Center fielder R.T. Cantillo leads the team with a .340 average to along with 22 RBI and five home runs. The Gators (31-3, 7-2 SEC) are also bringing a strong team to the plate, as they hit .289 as a team. Florida has four players hitting over .300 this season, and freshman infielder Kelsey Stewart leads the team, averaging .405 this season. Defensively, the Gators are bringing junior pitcher Hannah Rogers, who won SEC Pitcher of the Week after picking up three wins for Florida this past week in a series against Florida State. Rogers has a 1.13 ERA
this season, which is third in the conference. Junior pitcher Carly Hummel leads the Rebels with strikeouts this season with 72. Hummel also boasts a 3.93 ERA to go along with her 8-10 record. The Rebels will take on Florida at the Ole Miss Softball Complex Friday with the first pitch set for 6 p.m. They will play again at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. For continuing coverage of softball, follow @allison_slusher and @thedm_sports on Twitter.

are getting a lot of reps.” On the defensive side of the ball, senior linebacker D.T. Shackelford continues to progress as he get more comfortable on the field. Shackelford is practicing this spring for the first time since sustaining an ACL injury two years ago. “Some things were probably natural to him two years ago, but it’s coming back to him pretty quick,” Freeze said. “He’s going to be an asset to us.” The Rebel defense also can lean on the leadership of sophomore linebacker Denzel Nke-

mdiche and junior safety Cody Prewitt, who are both looking to take the next step forward after a successful 2012 campaign. “Two different leaders, two different types of personalities,” Freeze said of Nkemdiche and Prewitt. “Both are definitely leaders of our defense. Denzel brings it every single play. Cody helps some of the other guys in the back end.” Sophomore defensive tackle Issac Gross has been incorporated into defensive line drills and scrimmage drills more each day since his return.

The No. 37 ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team got a confidence boosting doubleheader victory against Jackson State here Wednesday at the Palmer/ Salloum Tennis Center. With consecutive scores of 4-0, the Rebels move to 7-9 overall. Ole Miss will return to action on Friday, hosting arch-rival Mississippi State at the tennis center at 1 p.m. Each Ole Miss fan will receive an Easter egg with a prize inside. The Rebels will also host a doubleheader on Sunday against Southern Miss beginning at 9 a.m. No. 10 Rebels at No. 13 Mississippi State With five regular season matches left on the schedule, the No. 10 ranked Ole Miss men’s tennis team aims to finish strong, and that begins Friday with a match at 13th-ranked archrival Mississippi State. The two teams will square off for the third time this season at the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre at 2 p.m. After the Bulldogs claimed the River Hills Cup at the beginning of the season, the Rebels got revenge in Seattle at the National Team Indoor, winning 4-2. “This year both teams have been ranked in the top 10 in the nation,” head coach Billy Chadwick said. “We are 1-1 against each other, and we’re anticipating a great match.”

Wednesday’s football practice brings more physicality The Rebel football team had a physical practice Wednesday morning. Ole Miss lost another player in junior offensive lineman Chase Hughes with a torn labrum. They return to practice at 5.45 a.m. BY JOHN LUKE McCORD mccordjohnluke@yahoo.com
Day six of Ole Miss spring practice was again inside the friendly confines of the Indoor Practice Facility, however, it was different than any of the previous five practices. It was extremely physical. “We’re building up to where that’s going to be a big part of practice,” Hugh Freeze said of
the physicality. “We’re kind of getting into the grind.” Freeze spoke of the advantages the schedule brings with the increased physicality this week. “I really like the way our schedule’s fallen with the Easter break,” he said. “We were able to be pretty physical today, and we’re going to get after it in the morning early. Then, they have a three-day break before we come back and have two four-

more explosive plays than they have all spring. “I think anytime we’re in tempo, our kids feel better,” Freeze said. Freeze added that the defense gives the offense different looks on scripted plays, but not so much during the tempo plays, which caused the offense to score on all three drives during their up-tempo drills.

Rebels down Arkansas State, head to Florida this weekend No. 11 Ole Miss used a five-run seventh inning to get a 10-4 win over Arkansas State Wednesday night. The Rebels hit the road for a three-game conference series at Florida. BY MATT SIGLER mfwheele@go.olemiss.edu
The No. 11 Ole Miss Rebels got back to their winning ways Wednesday night with a 10-4 win over Arkansas State. The Rebels (22-4, 3-3 SEC) were powered by a five-run seventh inning and a three-run eighth to overcome a 4-2 deficit. “I thought it was a great game, a game we hung in there,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. “We didn’t swing the bats early, left the bases loaded and didn’t score a run, opened the door early by not being able to field a bunt, but I thought we kept our composure. I thought the pitchers continued to pound the strike zone, and offensively, I thought those guys hung in there, and we were able to put two big innings at the end together.” Freshman right-hander Brady Bramlett got the win in relief for the Rebels to improve to 4-0 on the year. Sophomore righty Josh Laxer got the start, but left while the game was tied at two after going 4.2 innings.
Junior designated hitter Stuart Turner got things started in the bottom of the first for the Rebels with a sacrifice fly, which pushed his team-leading RBI count to 34. Arkansas State responded with two runs in the top half of the second, but junior second baseman Preston Overbey answered with a RBI single in the bottom half of the frame. Arkansas State tacked on two runs in the top half of the sixth inning to increase their lead to 4-2, but Ole Miss answered with two huge innings in the eighth and ninth to secure the win. Senior third baseman Andrew Mistone and sophomore first baseman Sikes Orvis both had RBI singles in the bottom of the seventh. Junior shortstop Austin Anderson, who was 2-for-4 with three RBI, added a tworun single, and junior catcher Will Allen added a sacrifice fly to increase the Rebel lead to 7-4. The Rebels put things away in the eighth with a two-run single from sophomore center fielder Auston Bousfield and another RBI single from Anderson.

Ole Miss will now head to Gainesville, Fla. to face Southeastern Conference foe Florida (11-15, 2-4 SEC). “It was a good night for us going into the weekend,” Bianco said. “It is always a big test

when you go to Florida. They are very talented. Our guys will be ready, we just will enjoy this one, get on a plane and fly to Gainesville tomorrow, workout and be ready for a very good University of Florida team.”
Ole Miss players know the importance of getting back on track in SEC play, especially after suffering two tough losses this past Sunday to Texas A&M. “It is huge,” senior Tanner Mathis said of this weekend’s series. “First of all, it is the next game. We are looking to get back on track and get back in the winning side of things in the SEC.” The Rebels will send junior ace Bobby Wahl to the mound Friday night. At 6-0, the righthander leads the Rebels in wins, ERA, innings pitched and strikeouts. Junior right-hander Mike Mayers will get the nod Saturday, and sophomore righty Chris Ellis will return to his Sunday starter role in the finale of the series. Bianco hopes to limit Ellis to under 70 pitches in his first start since injuring his abdominal injury at the beginning of the season.
