ACKSON — Nearly 60 faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends gathered on the steps of the Institutions of Higher Learning building in Jackson Sunday to show support for Chancellor Dan Jones. Between chants led by Madeleine Achgill and Phillip Waller, individuals in the crowd shared why they chose to “Stand with Dan.” Graduate of The University of Mississippi Medical Center Dr. Nina Washington said Jones was a leader who always kept his door opened and found a way to make the tough times in medical school better. Washington said while she attended UMMC,
she served as the president of the Student National Medical Association, which is “the largest organization for medical students of color.” She said any time she asked for Jones’ help, she would receive it. “He was truly committed to increasing the diversity of The University of Mississippi Medical Center,” Washington said. “This man needs to remain as the chancellor of The University of Mississippi Medical Center.” Many participants expressed confusion and dismay at the decisions of the college board. “This is absurd and ridiculous, and there is no basis for the action they’re taking. It’s obviously some kind of power grab or ego trip,”

Students, faculty react to indictment of Graeme Harris KYLIE MCFADDEN
kemcfadd@go.olemiss.edu
One of three men investigated in the desecration of the James Meredith statue was indicted and charged with two federal civil rights crimes. Graeme Phillip Harris of Alpharetta, Georgia, turned himself in to authorities in Oxford Friday morning, according to Police Chief Calvin Sellers. Harris and two others were being investigated for hanging a Georgia confederate flag and tying a noose around the neck of the statue of James Meredith, the first black student enrolled at the University of Mississippi, in February 2014. Of the three, only Harris has been identified. He is free on bond but is only free to travel in Georgia and Mississippi.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. released a statement Friday regarding Harris’ indictment. “This shameful and ignorant act is an insult to all Americans and a violation of our most strongly-held values,” Holder said. “No one should ever be made to feel threatened or intimidated because of what they look like or who they are. By taking appropriate action to hold wrongdoers accountable, the Department of Justice is sending a clear message that flagrant infringements of our historic civil rights will not go unnoticed or unpunished.” “This is definitely a step in the right direction,” said Black Student Union President Briana O’Neil. “It just goes to show that you can’t do
hateful things at The University of Mississippi and get away with it. We don’t tolerate that kind of behavior at Ole Miss.” Correl Hoyle, senior psychology major who has sat at the Meredith statue for an hour every day following the incident, shared similar emotions. “Racism is a huge part of our country. Hate in general is a huge part of this world,” Hoyle said. “We can either learn from it and better ourselves or we can keep ourselves in an ignorant and dark age. “I’m hoping that (Harris’) mistake teaches other people that hate is not OK anymore.” Pontus Anderson, a sophomore management information systems major, said that though the indictment has shed more negative light
on the university, the efforts Ole Miss and its students have taken to combat these issues should overpower the issues of its past. “No one’s sitting back,” Anderson said. “The whole community’s being proactive, and no one gets to see that side of things.” Freshman public policy leadership and African-American studies major Allen Coon said the university and the state of Mississippi could be doing more to promote civil rights. “The fact that the noose wasn’t enough to get the (Sigma Phi Epsilon) chapter to leave, it was the hazing, that’s kinda indicative of a problem,” Coon said. “I feel like Mississippi as a state needs more civil rights policies, especially with the history the state has.”
Chancellor Dan Jones and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Brandi Hephner Labanc sent an email to students Friday, thanking the efforts of UPD and the FBI working in Oxford. “I can’t help but feel the pain of the student and the parents who will now feel the full weight of our justice system but also feel the pain of our campus community and the entire Ole Miss family, which suffered greatly from the terrible act committed a year ago,” Hephner Labanc said in the email. “It has taken time, but the process has worked, and I’m confident justice will be done,” Jones said in the email. Lacey Russell contributed to this report.

Five self-reminders when life gets tough RACHEL GRANGER
then remember these 5 things and TREAT YO’SELF.
Earlier this semester, my professor was discussing being a nun in Japanese culture. While he lectured, my mind went on a tangent, and I legitimately considered ceasing my studies to live a life of nunnery. Leaving mainstream life was really appealling until I considered everything else that came with living in a monastery. So yeah, I’m still here, but if you’ve ever considered running away from college to become a nun or pursue another unconventional career, then you know the struggle. But that is not what college should be for us. Yes, this is the time to establish a career, but also, these are the days we enjoy being young and sometimes dumb. It’s the time we make mistakes and sometimes avoid the road less traveled. If, at any point, the importance of success becomes so much of a burden that you put enjoying life on the back burner,
1. IT’S OK TO TAKE A NAP.

Many times I argue with myself on whether or not I should take a nap. My justification for not napping is that if I start my work early then maybe I can get to bed earlier than normal. We know that never happens. Might as well take that nap and do the work when you wake up because nap or no nap, you will not go to bed early.
2. DON’T PAUSE NETFLIX. WATCH ONE MORE EPISODE.
Who cares if you’ve watched two seasons in two days? Sometimes your mind needs to escape Oxford. Your homework isn’t going anywhere. Don’t think of Netflix as a waste of time but as a way of life. Watch your Netflix and do homework at the same time. Why does there have to be an ultimatum?
3. GO OUT ON A WEEKDAY AT LEAST ONCE.
Maybe this is just me, but

I have the most difficult time enjoying myself when I know I have work to do. So, I always tell myself not to do something because I can be using this time to “be more productive.” Productivity is subjective. Be productive towards your happiness and go out. At least once a week, treat yourself to something that you love to do not have to do.
4. STEP OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
Go talk to that guy who seems unapproachable. Take your headphones out when walking to class, and speak to people. Apply for the unthinkable positions and scholarships so you can achieve the impossible. Make friends with people who don’t fit your typical social group.
5. SIT ON THE FLOOR AND CRY.
Trying to hold everything together when school is wearing you out is overwhelming. Just like those four years of high school are a distant memory, college will be one, too. Do not

allow the stress of school to pile up inside of you because soon and very soon, you will no longer be in those classes. A new semester will present new worries, and before you know it, you’ll be stressing about your boss or adult stuff. So, just sit on the floor and cry your frustration out. And when you are done, get up and resume Netflix. We spend so much time worrying about our future that we forget that there is today. Yeah, it’s important to work towards your goals and to be focused; however, we should never be so focused that we forget to enjoy and live for the moment. It’s okay to not have your future figured out and screw up (a little). That’s what being young is for, so remember to TREAT YO’SELF to trips, naps, Netflix and tears. Rachel Granger is a junior international studies major from Pearl.

continued from page 1 Larry Clark, an attorney from Jackson, said from the steps of the IHL building. “(We) take two steps forward and three steps back.” Three students came from Millsaps College to show support for the chancellor and led the rally in a chant. Daniel Kees, president of Millsaps Young Democrats, said the students came to the rally to support Jones because they believe what the board has done to Jones is a “travesty of justice.” “We’ve seen from our perspective that he’s tried to continue to move the college into a place that it needs to be, ideologically and just in all that Ole Miss is doing,” Kees said. “We recognize justice when we see it. We just want to say Millsaps stands with Dan.” After many men and women had come before the group and given voice to how Jones’ work affected their lives, someone who didn’t graduate from The University of Mississippi climbed the steps. “I did not go to Ole Miss, and I did not graduate from UMMC. Dan Jones is not my chancellor; he’s my dad,” Jason Jones said. Jones said there is an ongoing list of successes that his father has accomplished circulating
these support events, and that even when decisions were tough, his father stood behind his beliefs of what was right for the state and the university. “Progress is not more students, progress is more student involvement,” Jones’ son said. “Progress is not money, it’s more support.” David Nowicki, a prospective student for the university, said the decision to not renew Jones’ contract could potentially impede the growth of the university, especially with donors threatening to pull funding. Nowicki said he does not want to see the well-being of the university suffer and that he and other students have been looking forward to the continuation of progress the university has shown under Jones’ leadership. “Pulling such a good leader when he’s done so much for all facets of the university, it impacts our future just as much as it impacts current students and current faculty,” Nowicki said. Some alumni and students, such as Brian Spurlock, came to share what the chancellor had done for them in their time at the university. “Home was Ole Miss for me for five years, and no one worked harder to make sure that was true than Dan Jones,” Spurlock said. Paul and Hannah Gay said they were confused as to the reasoning the board had for ousting Jones.

Jason Jones, son of Chancellor Dan Jones, showed his support at the rally Sunday. “My impression is that the decisions of the IHL that they’ve been able to express have been garbled,” Paul Gay said. “I’m not sure they want to come forward and say precisely what their reasoning was because it would probably paint them in a bad light more than it would reflect on Dr. Jones.” As faculty member of The University of Mississippi Medical
Center for 20 years, Dr. Hannah Gay said she was happy to have an opportunity to show how the students and faculty felt about this decision. “We want to stand with Dan,” she said. “I would like the IHL to hear that the faculty and students that have worked and learned under him all support him.” Seeing the amount of support they had in Jackson reflects the
importance of Jones’ impact on the people he encounters through his work, Achgill said. “I think it just shows how much people care in the state of Mississippi,” Achgill said. “It was great to see them here and hear what they had to say.The variety of voices that we had was real amazing.”

Big Event held on Saturday SARA ROGERS
sbrogers@go.olemiss.edu
Over 1,400 students arrived Saturday morning at the Tad Pad to participate in the fifth annual Big Event. This year, more than 201 service projects were completed by the volunteers. A number of speakers were present to kick off the event, including Mayor Pat Patterson, John Oxford, representing Renasant Bank, Mindy Sutton, dean of students and vice chancellor of student affairs, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Brandi Hephner Labanc, Chancellor Dan Jones and keynote speaker Ross Bjork,
Ole Miss athletics director. “Today is a special day in the life of our university. You go to serve in a purposeful way,” Jones said. “That is good for the university, and that is good for you.” Bjork was the final speaker and led the students in “locking the Vaught” to pump up the crowd. “Whatever you’re doing today, do it with excellence because that will get you to higher ground,” Bjork said. Students were dismissed in groups around 9:45 a.m. to complete their various projects throughout the community. Four projects were cancelled due to volunteers not showing up.
Co-director Caroline Loveless visited the various project sites throughout the day, and she said almost all of the volunteers enjoyed themselves while working at their service project. Loveless said those who came out definitely benefitted from connecting with community members through service. “The Big Event is Ole Miss’ way of giving back to the community that gives us so much,” public relations and marketing co-director Amanda Jones said. “It shows a lot about our student body and how much they care and appreciate Oxford.”

Based on the best-selling young adult trilogy by Veronica Roth, “Insurgent” hit the theaters Thursday, March 19. This sequel to last year’s “Divergent” is set in a futuristic Chicago where everyone is divided into five “factions” based on their personality. Main characters Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) are both “divergent,” meaning they fit more than one faction personality, and divergents are being killed off by the emerging tyrant Jeanine (Kate Winslet). However, Roth’s attempt to encourage young women to embrace their uniqueness and be confident in themselves is lost in this crowded, tedious film. The film opens in a dream sequence where Tris, Four, Peter (Miles Teller) and Caleb (Ansel

only he or she has the ability to open the box that she somehow knows contains a 200-year-old message from “the founders.” It’s unclear what exactly hearing it will do for her and the plot, but this is only possible if a person can successfully make it through a simulation from all five factions. The box conveniently found at the Priors’ house convinces Jeanine that Tris is the divergent for the job. She begins sending out threats that people will die every day unless Tris turns herself in. Already tormented by grief over her parents’ deaths, Tris is unable to feel responsible for any more deaths and sneaks off to surrender herself to Jeanine. Before, however, she makes sure to engage in a way too steamy romance scene with Four. Jeanine immediately puts Tris through these simulations to open the box. In the simulations, the poor quality of the filmmaking and the subpar visual effects shine. From the flying building carrying her mother (Ashley Judd) to seeing Four disintegrate Voldemort style, it’s too painful to recount this weak moment of cinematic history. Audiences are made to believe Tris died during these simulations, but without any explanation, she resurrects, which means there will either be two more movies to suffer through or more optimistically and doubtfully, redeem the franchise. As if the screenplay wasn’t crowded enough, Tris and Four are introduced to the factionless and their leader Evelyn (Naomi Watts), who viewers discover is Four’s mom, whom everyone believed dead. Octavia Spencer and Daniel Dae Kim manage to make small appearances as faction leaders, but it’s Miles Teller who adds the most fun to the film in his portrayal of Peter. However, even these seasoned actors can’t save the disaster that the rest of the film unfolds into.

Tris wakes up from her nightmare and decides that giving herself a haircut will make her feel differently, but it serves as more of distraction for the rest of the film than a statement of independence. Sadly, the haircut was not a dream sequence, too. Tris and Four’s romance also carries over from the first film despite having weaker on-screen chemistry, and they set out trying to figure out how to stop Jeanine from taking over their fenced-in society. Director Robert Schwentke replaced director Neil Burger for the more action-packed sequel, but unfortunately, bigger doesn’t mean better for this large step down from its predecessor. Fans of the trilogy will not be happy that the filmmakers decided to change the plot from the book into an

The 21st ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team fell to LSU by the score of 4-2 Friday evening at the Gillom Sports Center. It was the third straight loss for the Rebels, who fell to 11-7 overall (3-6 SEC). LSU improved to 13-7 overall (3-4 SEC). The match began outdoors starting with singles, but rain forced play to move indoors. The doubles portion was not played after the Tigers clinched the win. The first match to finish was No. 2 singles, with Rebel junior Mai El Kamash falling in straight sets to LSU junior Skylar Kuykendall 4-6, 1-6. Senior Julia Jones, ranked 14th in the country, defeated Tiger sophomore Joana Vale Costa 6-4, 6-7, 6-0 for her 97th career victory at No. 1 singles. Freshman Natalie Suk won at No. 3 singles 7-6, 1-6, 7-5 over LSU sophomore Abby Owens. At No. 4 singles, senior Erin Stephens lost 1-6, 4-6 to Tiger senior Noel Scott. Sophomore Zalina Khairudinova lost to LSU junior Ella Taylor 4-6, 6-2, 0-6 at No. 5. Finally at No. 6, senior Iris Verboven fell to Tiger sophomore Skylar Holloway 6-2, 2-6, 1-6. The Rebels’ losing streak reached four games Sunday afternoon as they fought hard but ultimately fell to 15th ranked Texas A&M 4-2 at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center.

Compared to Friday, our effort level and our toughness were much better. That’s hopefully something we can build on.” Ole Miss started the match off well, winning the doubles portion of the match. Senior Iris Verboven and junior Marija Milutinovic clinched the point at No. 3 for the Rebels, defeating Aggie juniors Stefania Hristov and Anna Mamalat 8-7.
