The Center for Manufacturing Excellence at the University of Mississippi will be named in honor of former Gov. Haley Barbour, a decision approved by the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning.

The proposal to name the facility for Barbour was presented during the board’s regular monthly meeting on Thursday, March 15 on the Oxford campus. An official dedication ceremony is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Oct. 18, in front of the building in the Circle.

“The concept of the Center for Manufacturing Excellence was conceived by Gov. Barbour,” said CME director James Vaughan. “This concept is based on interdisciplinary educational opportunities within an innovative academic learning model that will provide our students with practical experiences, fundamental knowledge and creative practices needed to lead the world of modern manufacturing.”

Other university officials are pleased with the board’s decision.

“It is a privilege for the university and a personal privilege for me to move forward with this naming,” Chancellor Dan Jones said. “All of us in the Ole Miss family are grateful to Gov. Barbour for all he has done for our university and for our state.

Students cheer on the Rebels before the Alabama game started this past semester. To encourage student attendance at home games, Ole Miss athletics is introducing a points system where students can receive prizes.

BY RYAN GROVER drgrover08@gmail.com

The University of Mississippi Athletics Department wants more students at home games, and it is aiming to encourage this by exchanging points for attendance.

The new Rebel Rewards program is fairly simple. Students will simply scan their ID cards at sporting events and receive points. As students go to more

events and earn more points, they will be eligible for prizes.

“Our students will have the opportunity to earn reward points by attending athletic events,” said Nathan Dye, a public policy leadership major and the director of athletics and recreation for Ole Miss. “There are several prize levels and when participants reach those levels, prizes are automatically mailed to the fan. C Spire is contributing all of the prizes, and those will range from

t-shirts to the chance for one participant to win a car each year.”

Dye said this program creates a great opportunity for students to support their school’s athletes and earn prizes at the same time.

Rebel Rewards aims to attract students who don’t usually attend athletic events to go out and support the teams while also rewarding those already dedicated for their support.

“This program benefits all

Ole Miss students who wish to participate,” Dye said. “More importantly though, Rebel Rewards will help our athletic teams by increasing the number of students in attendance at each event. This program is beneficial to the students through its point system. Points will be earned in an assortment of ways, but mostly through students’ attendance at Ole Miss Athletics’ See REBEL REWARDS, PAGE 3

International group pushes universities to keep bottled water

By Madison Featherston madison.featherston@gmail.com

There has been a recent uprising of student activism against bottled water on the campus of the University of Mississippi, in an effort to be more environmentally conscious.

The International Bottled Water Association has made plans to fight back against activists, first by launching a YouTube video titled “Student Activism: 101,” which currently has more than 25,000 views.

The issue that IBWA brings up is straightforward: is it more important to remove the waste generated by bottled water than it is to provide students with the most healthy beverage option?

Chris Hogan, IBWA vice president of communications, does not think so.

“A ban on the sale of bottled water on college campuses restricts freedom of choice to choose one of the healthiest beverages available in vending machines,” he said in a press release.

There is some speculation as to why sodas and other beverages are not also targeted by this movement. The idea behind banning only water bottles comes from the fact that there are always water fountains in buildings, which would, ideally, allow students to get water for free without wasting plastic bottles.

Junior education major Stephanie Leslie said she agrees with the activists.

“Water is essential,” Leslie said. “Good thing it’s free! But not when you are buying it in a plastic bottle from a vending machine — it’s not free for you or the environment. You are paying

Opening a window...

BY ANGELA ROGALSKI abbeangela@gmail.com

Coming back from Spring Break can be like that extra hour of sleep we lost when daylight savings time took over our clocks: it’s hard at first, we’re groggy and yawning, but eventually our bodies readjust and we forge ahead.

Nobody is exactly doing cartwheels across campus and bounding into classrooms first thing on Monday singing ‘Oh, what a beautiful morning,’

but we know what we have to do, what’s at stake and we get it done. And for those faculty and staff members who also enjoyed a week away from our winning smiles and academia in general, it’s just as tough. But they return, ready to challenge and help us as we take another step toward our ultimate goal: graduation.

So it is with that perspective, I approach my return and the remainder of the semester, not really knowing what’s ahead, but anticipating the bloom to actually open and the smell to be intoxicatingly addictive, for all of us involved. Sure, it may not be all honeysuckle and wild roses wafting through our airspace and eventually hitting our

noses, but it will be interesting and life-changing, no matter the aroma.

Recently, there was an article in the Los Angeles Times about a very rare and unusual plant that is native to the jungles of Sumatra, ‘titan arum,’ that is being housed at Cornell University. Apparently this green entity, also known as the corpse plant for its odor, is getting ready to bloom and the rarity of the experience is so monumental that Cornell is livestreaming the event so that people can actually watch its malodorous petals open. According to the article, the leaf itself can grow as high as 25 feet and the bloom that emerges from its center can rise even higher. The

stench of the plant is said to be that of rotting flesh, hence the nickname. When asked how you stand the smell, Karl Niklas, a professor of plant biology at Cornell, said, “You open the window.”

Now I’m certainly not comparing our return to the college experience to the blooming of the corpse plant, well ... maybe I am, a little anyway.

What I mean is, after a week away from the grind of studying, homework and class visitations, we all may have gotten a little spoiled by not having to adhere to our normal routines. And I’ll have to admit, it was nice not having to rush home from work and tackle homework every night. But, by the same to-

ken, the payoff is well worth the hardship. The opportunities that are wide open to us through education and hard work is just as amazing as the rare and oddly exquisite ‘titan arum.’ And while it may be tough to handle each and every day, we’ll do it and we’ll be thankful for it.

And when we think it’s more than we can handle, more than we can tackle with all the other responsibilities, problems and crises that may arise, we’ll appreciate our advantages and simply open a window.

Congressman Gregg Harper a role model for other politicians

BY TAYLOR MCGRAW taylor.m.mcgraw@gmail.com

Just so you know before you read, I do not live in Gregg Harper’s district and do not agree with him on most political issues.

Along with student body presidents from three other Mississippi public universities, I recently traveled to Washington, D.C., for the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference.

During some down time on Monday, we headed to Capitol Hill to meet with a few of Mississippi’s elected representatives. In the first two meetings, we told the gentlemen where we were from, took group photos and listened to them talk for a combined 15 minutes.

I asked the first one where he thought we should cut the federal budget to reduce the deficit. He dodged the question with a short talking point.

I followed up by asking him to talk about some of the issues on his agenda. He said reelection. Our second meeting, while more pleasant, was also disappointingly brief. We took an official picture and talked a little bit about our experience at the conference but were whisked out before we could ask about the topics we’d come to discuss.

Beginning to feel as if we’d wasted the afternoon, we showed up to the office of Rep. Gregg Harper around 4:45 p.m. and were greeted by his legislative assistant and Ole Miss alum Jordan Downs.

Downs led us into Harper’s office, where we admired the collection of signed baseballs and, via a television, watched the congressman finish up a committee meeting in the

Capitol. Harper flew through his door minutes later wearing a wide Mississippi grin framed by his thick curly hair.

After talking to all of us about our hometowns and post-graduation plans, it was our turn to question him. He engaged us with a level of candor absent from our other two meetings.

When we asked if there was any big legislation coming up related to higher education, he said plainly that not much was going on at all in the House because everyone was concerned with re-election.

“There are a lot of stereotypes about Congress that aren’t true,” he said. “But that one is true.”

Around 5:10 p.m., Harper asked us where we had to be next (Gala, 6 p.m.), looked at his watch and said, “How about a 20-minute tour of the Capitol and then we’ll get you guys on your way?”

We popped off the couch

like kids being offered free candy. “Y’all can walk fast, can’t you?” he called over his shoulder as we tried to keep up.

Zipping us through the tunnel connecting his office building to the Capitol, he pointed out the wall display of winning high school art pieces from each district and spoke proudly of his district’s portrait from a Starkville High School student.

When we got inside the Capitol, Harper dropped one fascinating tidbit after another about our nation’s history. Did you know that John Quincy Adams served as a member of the House after he was president? Or that a young Illinois congressman named Abraham Lincoln was a pallbearer at Adams’ funeral?

In the Rotunda, Harper bumped into a friend he hadn’t seen in a while. The friend looked at us and said, “Hey! That’s a good man you’re fol-

lowing, there. Good, good man!” Harper’s friend was a custodian.

After a group picture on the Speaker’s Balcony overlooking the National Mall, Harper finished the best tour of our lives in record time and followed us all the way to the street with cab-hailing instructions before speedwalking back to his office to finish his day’s work.

Riding Harper’s coattails through the Capitol, watching him engage other congressmen, security guards, staff and visitors, I felt proud to know he was from my state. Representing all the best Mississippi qualities, he clearly hasn’t forgotten his roots.

Democrat, Republican or otherwise, I wish we had more in Washington like him.

consumer will usually choose a less-healthy beverage instead of searching for a water fountain.

“I can respect the eco-friendly effort, but denying people of buying water would indefinitely create more of an issue,” finance junior Trine Fjordholm said. “The school doesn’t force students to purchase water; there are water fountains strategically placed in each building to support that.

It’s the consumer’s choice if they want to purchase a bottle instead, for whatever reason.”

Ole Miss is already trying to become more eco-friendly. In addition to water fountains, there are many clearly labeled recycling stations where you can properly dispose of plastic bottles.

The new hydration station, located in the Student Union, is a place where students can refill bottles with filtered water for free. While doing so, the machine counts how many plastic water

This gives students a unique position, if they choose to take advantage of it. By bringing a refillable bottle to campus, students have access to water that is not only free, but also is of the same quality as bottled water.

“Ole Miss should move toward placing stations in academic buildings, that way students can have easy access immediately before and after classes,” Fjordholm said.

Da Vinci helping Oxford doctors

BY MARIDANE HEWES maridaneh@gmail.com

Doctors at the Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi have begun using the surgical robot, Da Vinci. For the past three months, OBGYN doctors have been using this robot to perform hysterectomies, along with other ovarian type surgeries.

“It is really amazing how much more this allows us to do,” said Dr. William Henderson, one of the gynecologists who uses the Da Vinci.

The Da Vinci is a robot with four arms, including one with a camera. The arms are inserted into four incisions that are about one centimeter long.

Normally when doctors perform laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgeries, there are incisions in a patient that are called sleeves or sheaths.

Doctors put the instruments into the sleeves to do the procedure. The instruments are straight and nonflexible.

With the Da Vinci, the four arms attach to the instruments once they are in the sleeves, giving the instruments a “wrist” to help reach around things.

After the robot is attached to the instruments, the surgeon is able to leave the table where the patient is and go to a con-

The Da Vinci machine is a robotic device that will help doctors perform hysterectomies and ovarian operations. The machine is new to Oxford.

sole.

The doctors look through a viewfinder that allows them to see a three dimensional view from the robot’s camera. The doctor then puts his or her fingers into loops and as he or she moves his or her hands, the instruments being controlled by the robot do exactly what his or her hands do.

“It is like my hands are doing the surgery,” Henderson said.

Since the Da Vinci costs around $1.4 million, surgeries done with it are a little more expensive but it also allows the

patient to leave the hospital more quickly. Henderson even said some patients reported they have had practically no pain.

“The best thing about it is that it allows patients to get back to their normal lives faster,” said Glenda Manford, a nurse at the hospital.

Around the country, doctors are using the Da Vinci for general surgeries like colon resections and even in heart micro valve repairs. The majority of prostate surgeries done in the United States are done using this machine.

In Oxford, the Da Vinci is only being used by OBGYN doctors, but the hospital hopes to expand to urology sometime in the future.

Allen were a combined 8-for-12 while the rest of the lineup was 0-for-23.

“You want to get him in (the lineup),” Bianco said. “Kirksey has been hitting so well, so he’s in the DH spot. Snyder, then, has to come to first base. Mistone has played so well, so there hasn’t really been a lot of spots for a guy, who can play any position.”

Bianco handed over the pitching duties to junior left-hander Dylan Chavez in the eighth.

Chavez gave up a one-out walk and single before Bianco opted for freshman right-hander Chris Ellis. The Tigers played some more small ball, adding an insurance run on a second squeeze play of the game before Auburn third baseman Zach Alvord ended Ole Miss’ comeback hopes with a grand slam to cap the big inning for the 10-4 win.

FRIDAY: NO. 12 OLE MISS 2, AUBURN 1 Entering the opening game against the Auburn Tigers, No. 12 Ole Miss was averaging more than 8.5 runs per game, but in the Southeastern Conference opener on Friday, the Rebels defeated Auburn 2-1 in a classic SEC Friday night pitcher’s duel.

“I just thought it was a great college baseball game,” Bianco said. “A typical Friday night in the Southeastern Conference. That’s why kids come to play in the SEC. It was a very well played game by both teams. We got a couple of guys in, but it was one of those days just dominated by pitchers.”

For the Rebels, sophomore right-hander Bobby Wahl (4-0) picked up his fourth win of the season thanks to a few great defensive plays. Wahl pitched six complete innings giving up one unearned run on six hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

“I felt pretty good,” Wahl said of his outing. “My arm felt pretty good tonight. I wasn’t locating as well as I could, but for the most part made some good pitches, and everything was down for the most part. The defense did a great job tonight.”

Auburn’s senior right-hander Derek Varnadore (1-2) was impressive as well on the mound, lasting 6.2 innings and giving up two runs on five hits with four walks and two strikeouts.

Ole Miss got on the board in the second inning. After the Rebels loaded the bases with one out, sophomore catcher Will Allen singled up the middle to score a run.

Once Auburn tied it up in the third, senior designated hitter Zach Kirksey drove in freshman center field Auston Bousfield, who led off the inning with a double off the top of the wall.

Rebels finish season strong, come up short in first round of NIT

BY DAVID HENSON dahenson@olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss men’s basketball team saw their season come to an end this past Wednesday with a 96-93 overtime loss to Illinois State in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament. The Rebels finished the season with a 20-13 record and an 8-8-league record.

While the season ended on the Rebels’ home court in the NIT, Ole Miss nearly played its way into the NCAA Tournament thanks to a hot streak at the end of the season that continued into the SEC Tournament. After losing six of eight games from Jan. 26 to Feb. 22, the Rebels circled the wagons and won five straight, including their first two games in the SEC Tournament. After junior Nick Williams scored a career-high 22 points in a 68-54 win against Auburn in the first round, Ole Miss advanced to the second round to play No. 2 seed Tennessee, which received a first-round bye.

A 13-point loss at Tennessee had been Ole Miss’ last loss before the five-game winning streak. Entering the game, Tennessee was projected as one of the last teams in or out, depending on the publication. A win against the Rebels would likely all but wrap an NCAA Tournament at-large bid for the Volunteers. But Ole Miss played spoiler behind 19 points from senior Terrance Henry and 17 points from Jarvis Summers in a 77-72 overtime win to advance to the semifinals against No. 3 seed Vanderbilt.

In February, Vanderbilt was another team Ole Miss had faced during their rough patch and the Rebels were blown out 102-76 on their home court at the Tad Smith Coliseum. Ole Miss went into the game looking for a revenge, with a win likely putting the Rebels on the right side of the NCAA Tournament

bubble as well as a berth in the SEC Championship game.

Ole Miss trailed by just points at halftime, but was unable to overcome John Jenkins, who led Vanderbilt with 23 points, as the Commodores pulled away late in a 65-53 win. Vanderbilt would go on to beat top-ranked and No. 1 seed Kentucky the next day to win the SEC Championship.

When the 68-team NCAA Tournament field was revealed on Selection Sunday, Ole Miss was among the teams on the outside looking in as their name was not called, and they were selected to the NIT Field of 32 as a No. 2 seed.

The Rebels drew No. 7 seed Illinois State, which fell 83-79 in overtime in the Missouri Valley Conference championship game. The Redbirds came into Oxford and shot lights out in a 96-93 overtime win to end the Rebels’ season.

Illinois State set a Tad Smith Coliseum record for 3-pointers made by any team, knocking down 17 of 23 (73.9 percent) from behind the arc. Four Redbird finished in double figures, led by guards Tyler Brown and Nic Moore. Brown led all scorers with 26 points on 9-of-10 shooting, including 8-of-9 from 3-point range, followed by Moore with 24 on 7-of-9 shooting and a perfect 6-of-6 from behind the arc.

In the closing seconds of regulation, Summers missed a 10-foot jumper that would have won the game, and in the closing seconds of overtime, Williams turned the ball over with the chance to tie or win.

Ninth-inning rally hands No. 12 Ole Miss series loss on SEC opening weekend

BY DAVID COLLIER dlcollie@olemiss.edu

SUNDAY: AUBURN 3, NO. 12 OLE MISS 2 There were two outs with nobody on base in the top of the ninth inning on Sunday and No. 12 Ole Miss (15-5, 1-2 SEC) was leading Auburn (12-8, 2-1 SEC) 2-1 in the rubber match of the three-game series. Sophomore right-hander Mike Mayers was one out away from recording a complete game win, but then things fell apart for the Rebels.

Auburn center fielder Ryan Tella was one strike away from being the last out of the game before he got a piece of a ball that sliced its way into the left field corner.

Junior left fielder Tanner Mathis chased after it but came up just short on a sliding effort.

“I was probably about a half a foot away,” Mathis said. “Six inches, maybe a half-step. Sometimes the wind pushes it a little too much. I couldn’t quite get there.”

Auburn left fielder Cullen Wacker, who was 2-for-3 going into the at-bat, followed with a double of his own down the right-field line to score Tella and tie the game.

That closed the book on Mayers, who finished the day allowing three runs on six hits with no walks and five strikeouts in a career-long 8.2 innings. Head coach Mike Bianco turned to junior right-hander Brett Huber, who gave up a single up the middle to first baseman Garrett Cooper for what proved to be the game-winning run for Auburn.

“It’s a tough one,” Bianco said.

“It’s one of those where you felt you had it. Mike was terrific today.

Up until 26 outs and two strikes on the hitter, you felt like it was going to be ours and maybe we just outpitched them just a little bit.

“But you have to credit Auburn hanging in there.”

After Auburn pushed across a run in the third, Ole Miss answered in the bottom of the inning with two runs on four hits. Senior
