ASB Vice President Morgan Gregory and ASB Senator Rod Bridges look on as poll results are presented Tuesday.
Members of ASB Senate Tuesday night did not come to a conclusion regarding the renaming of the title of male personality election which was formerly ‘Colonel Reb.’ Last night’s meeting was the final ASB Senate meeting of the semester, so the selection of the new name will be reassessed by the Senate in the fall. Because no decision was made, there is not currently a name for the title. Members of the senate failed to motion four amendments to the current bill prior to reaching the conclusion of the meeting. The lack of action by senators to make a decision on the bill was due to their concern with the desire of their constituents. “I think that every vote, whether it was for or against, was a vote with really good in-
tention,” ASB Vice President Morgan Gregory said. “Some senators had legitimate concern about the timing of deciding on a name. Others were more concerned with a vote being just a placeholder for something that we would change in the fall anyways.” Results of an online student survey, which was conducted by the senate last week, showed that the majority of voters, 40-50 percent, wrote in the name ‘Colonel Reb.’ Twenty-five percent of voters chose the name ‘Mr. Ole Miss.’ While last night’s bill proposed the new title to be ‘Mr. Ole Miss’, senators felt that ‘Mr. Ole Miss’ was not an accurate representation of what students wanted. “What we have now is a blank,” ASB Senator Rod Bridges said. “This decision won’t be filled until the secSee ASB, PAGE 3
Sigma Chi sanctions amended, fraternity placed on social probation BY HAWLEY MARTIN thedmnews@gmail.com
The Judicial Council amended its suspension for the Sigma Chi fraternity during a meeting Monday night. According to an active member of the Ole Miss chapter, the fraternity will “be (active) on campus.” Sigma Chi will participate in formal recruitment and be allowed full rights to use its house. Members will live in the chapter house, eat meals at the house and participate in and host philanthropy events. Similarly, fraternity employees will retain their jobs. This was unknown at the time of the initial hearing. The fraternity will observe one year of social probation. Changes in the status of Sigma Chi came from the result

of a successful appeal entered by the fraternity to the Appellate Consideration Board after the April 4 preliminary ruling of the Associated Student Body Judicial Council. ASB Judicial Council Chair Harrison Crabtree stated that the adjustment of previously instituted sanctions was the product of fresh perspective. “After the case was heard by a group of Judicial Council members that had not heard the original case, the council decided the appropriate sanctions,” Crabtree said. “The suspension was lifted; however, they will be placed on social probation and remain on two-strike probation until the conclusion of the Spring 2014 semester.” According to Sigma Chi chapter president Buckner Corso, this event has strength-

occurred. We look forward to the institution of our Action Plan, which was developed with our Alumni Advisors, our Leadership Team and our International Fraternity Headquarters.” The fraternity remains in violation of the five charges brought against it during the April 4 hearing.

“Our alumni was involved (in the appeal),” said Stewart Pirani. “I would say I’m very pleased like everyone else is.” “We plan on learning from this process and educating our members so that we can prevent problems in the future,” Corso said. “We look forward to the opportunities before us in the 2013-2014 school year.”

I’m so tired of picking up a copy of The DM and seeing people outraged about absolutely inane topics, like “Dixie,” the mascot and the name bestowed upon the winner of a campus popularity contest. I swear, people on this campus sweat the small stuff so much that they’re far too dehydrated to do anything when it comes to things that are actually going to impact people’s lives. So I’m going to do my best to settle everything, and I’m sure I’m going to make a lot of people angry, but I think this needs to be said. No one cares. No one outside of this campus cares whether the campus position is entitled Colonel Reb or Mr. Ole Miss. Or whether or not we play “Dixie.” Or what the mascot is. It does not matter one bit.

change that. And getting rid of these old “traditions” is generally for the best. Maybe you’re not offended by Colonel Reb or “Dixie.” I’m not either, but some people are. And while I think that being offended about things is a waste of energy, I can’t really argue that it doesn’t alienate a significant portion of our student body, in that it alludes to a time when our state was fighting, in part, for the ability to enslave other human beings. That’s not exactly what this institute of higher learning wants to be associated with anymore. “Dixie” is a beautiful song, and I wish we didn’t need to get rid of it, but the fact is that we do. Just because something is a tradition doesn’t mean it’s not also bad.

Maybe if the students of this campus and its esteemed alumni focused more on the game of football going on in Vaught-Hemingway and less on which foamy cartoon character was roaming the sidelines, or who’s taking the field at homecoming, or which songs the band was playing (not that we don’t appreciate your hard work, band), our team could have another impressive season like last year.

ond or third week of (the fall semester).” While there is no set deadline for ASB to make a decision about the new title, there is a concern of time and lack thereof. According to the ASB Consitution and Codes, fall student elections must be held five weeks prior to Homecoming. This means candidates would begin campaigning the third week of school in the fall. While some senators proposed passing the bill now to allow for a later amendment, others pointed out that this could inconvenience male candidates running for election. “Switching the name back and forth means those getting ready to campaign have no idea what title they’re running for,” former ASB Senator Jeremy Holliday said. “They have to make stickers, flyers, t-shirts and videos.” Another concern is how long it takes for a bill to take effect. A bill goes into effect upon publishing. In order to be published, a bill must be signed and put in a book– all in a certain time constraint. Bridges urged members to “re-focus” in order to move forward in last night’s decision-making process. “We owe it to the students to make a decision tonight,” Bridges said. Some senators speculated in the debate that without a final decision in last night’s meeting, a male personality election would not take place at all in the fall. “The judicial ruling only took away the title ‘Colonel Reb’,” Gregory said after the meeting. “It did not take away the personality election. There will be a personality election regardless of whether there is a set name or not.”
Candidates for Oxford Mayor and Board of Aldermen gathered Tuesday night to discuss their individual plans if elected. The forum was held at the Oxford Conference Center at 6:30 p.m. The candidates, alderman and mayoral alike, said what the city is doing now in terms of Square parking is ineffective. However, alderman candidate Ney Williams stood behind the Downtown Parking Commission and its efforts to improve parking conditions. Alderman candidate J.P. Hughes said the current attempts at solving Oxford’s parking issue have cost taxpayers $100,000 in consulting fees. “Parking has been a problem since 1987,” Hughes said. “We need to move in a faster, forward direction.” Incumbent Mayor Pat Patterson opposed any tax increases that would help pay for a permanent parking structure, saying they would not be be in the
best interest of Oxford residents. Mayoral candidate Todd Wade, whose major campaign platform has involved including Ole Miss more in the city’s actions, believes that a parking garage is a viable option. “We could have a parking garage made to look like the Ly-
ceum,” Wade said. Candidates were also asked about the issue of Sunday alcohol sales. The only candidate who argued in favor of the current regulations to allow bars to be open on Sundays for games and holidays was Ulysses Howell.
Oxford primary elections will be held May 7, and the general election will be held June 4. A full list of candidates can be found on the city of Oxford website. Charlotte Mona Roi contributed to this report.

You’re going to need to locate the oil filter, which should be on the side of the engine. Look at the new filter if you’re not sure what to look for. If it is difficult to reach from the top of the engine, try to get it from the bottom. Once you find it, turn the filter to the left and start to unscrew it. It you are having trouble gripping the oil filter or if it is too tight, use the oil filter wrench. The wrench will fit around the filter and the tighter you pull to the left, the tighter the grip of the wrench. Once you unscrew the filter try taking it off with the open part facing up because you don’t want oil all over the place. After you get the filter off, place it in the drain pan to let it drain completely. Step 5: Replace the oil plug
After the oil is fully drained, replace the oil plug. First tighten it with your hand then finish it up with the wrench. Step 6: Install the new filter
Take the new filter out of the box and fill it with some new oil. Let the filter absorb some of the oil and put a little more in. Then apply some of the new oil to the rubber seal around the new filter with your finger. This ensures a good seal and prevents the seal from dry rotting. Then screw the filter back onto the engine by

Start the car and let it run for about five minutes. Check underneath around the drain plug and oil filter for any leaks and tighten them if necessary. If your car is equipped with an oil pressure gauge check to make sure the oil pressure isn’t too high or low. Step 9: Recycle old oil
As per EPA regulations you just can’t pour old oil into a storm drain, and unless you want to have the oil laying around in your backyard for years, the best thing to do is to recycle it.

Once you get underneath the car (be sure to have your wrench and drain pan) you need to locate the drain plug. It should be the big bolt all by itself if you look at the bottom of the engine (the oil pan). Use your wrench to break the oil plug loose. Then turn it to the left with your hand while keeping pressure on the bolt. Once you have unscrewed the drain plug swiftly move it out of the way.

Softball ends season with Alcorn State BY ALLISON SLUSHER ajslushe@go.olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss softball team will wrap up their season today with a doubleheader against Alcorn State. The Rebels (23-31) are looking to finish the year on a positive note after going just 3-21 in the Southeastern Conference. Ole Miss is coming off a series loss against No. 15 Texas A&M, while Alcorn State is coming off a split series against Mississippi Valley where they won the first game 2-1 and dropped the second game 4-9. Senior Deanna Rancillio leads the Lady Braves in the circle and is last week’s Southwestern Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week. Rancillio is 2-6 on the year with a 9.10 ERA. Sophomore Alexandra Harris leads Alcorn State at the plate hitting .341. Harris has hit one home run this season in addition to seven doubles and four triples.

Isiah Young named Drake Relays Most Outstanding Performer DES MOINES – After a showcase sprinting performance in Iowa last week, Ole Miss senior Isiah Young earned the Maury White Award as the Most Outstanding Performer in the men’s college and invitational division during the 104th Drake Relays. The award is voted on by members of the media that covered the Drake Relays. Young repeated as the Drake Relays champion in the university 100-meter dash with a school-record time of 10.07 in a slight (+2.1) wind.
Had it not been for the tailwind that was just 0.1 meters per second over the allowable windspeed, the 2012 Olympian’s performance would have been a Drake Relays record and broken the 30-yearold mark of 10.11 set by Alabama’s Calvin Smith in 1983. He also anchored Ole Miss’ 4x100 and 4x400-meter relays, with the 4x1 unit clocking the second-best time in school history at 39.69. Next up for Young and the Rebels is the SEC Outdoor Championships, May 9-12 in Columbia, Mo.

So long Ole Miss, it’s been fun BY CAMAL PETRO cppetro@go.olemiss.edu
I have known for most of my life I would attend Ole Miss, but I didn’t necessarily know I would choose the path of journalism. I’ve always been interested in playing, watching and learning about different sports, so sports journalism was a natural fit for me. Growing up and in high school, I never really thought of myself as a good writer. Even during my freshman year, I thought I struggled at it. Looking back, it’s kind of funny how I ended up choosing a career in journalism. Thanks to some great teachers in the journalism department, I would like to think I have improved vastly since my first journalism class. One of the best feelings is having a friend tell you, “Great article Camal.” During my two years
on The Daily Mississippian staff, I have had a lot of opportunities to cover different sports and interview various players and coaches. My first article, in the summer of 2011, introduced the new assistant basketball coaches, and my last assignment was covering a baseball series earlier this semester. I have also gotten the opportunity to freelance for my hometown paper, the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Miss. I am currently under a twoyear contract, and while with the Sun Herald, I covered Houston Nutt’s and Pete Boone’s final press conference, as well as a fan reaction story. I also covered the press conference announcing the hiring of current head football coach Hugh Freeze. I just want to thank my editors, fellow writers, the media relations department, my parents, friends, play-

know how hard we had to work that last match against Michigan to go to the final 16,” Chadwick said. “This year will be no exception. We got to be ready to play against Lehigh, and if we get through that one, then either BYU and Memphis are two really good opponents.” The Rebels ended the regular season ranked No. 7 in the nation and lost in the second round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament to Alabama. “I feel like the team got a little bit stronger from (the loss to Alabama), and I think you’re going to see a team come out hungry in this regional,” Chadwick said. “We feel like the break has served us well. The injuries are starting to be manageable. We’re starting to practice hard every day, everybody.

for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The Rebels played a regular season match in Lubbock last season, where they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Red Raiders. In the first round, Ole Miss (16-13) will play No. 14 Duke (14-9), which was ranked as high as No. 2 earlier this season, at 11 a.m. May 11. Regional host Texas Tech (196), ranked No. 17 in the nation, is the No. 16 overall seed and will play No. 67 College Charleston (20-8), the Southern Conference champion, in the other first round match. The winners will play in the second round Sunday at 1 p.m. “We played there last year, so we are well aware of the surroundings there,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “We’ve been there before, so it’s not a total surprise there. Duke, obviously earlier in the year, was one of the top teams in the country, but they have suffered some injuries, so maybe not the worst draw there. “As far as looking ahead to trying to get to the Round of 16, you’re not facing a No. 1 or No. 2 team in the country right away. I think it’s a great draw.” NORTH MS EDUCATION Consortium employment Immediate opening Administrative Assistant/ Customer Service.

Rebel Netters to host NCAA Regionals
AUSTIN McAFEE | The Daily Mississippian
Members of the tennis team react after learning they will host the NCAA Regionals.
By Austin Miller akmiller90@gmail.com
For the second straight year and the 11th time in the history of the program, the Ole Miss men’s tennis team will host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center May 10-11. “It’s become a tradition here, and it’s a great tradition,” head coach Billy Chadwick said of hosting. “It’s a big-time advantage if you’re going to move on to the final 16, and we’re in hopes that we are going to take advantage of that.”
Ole Miss (15-8), which lost to UCLA, 4-1, in the third round of the NCAA Championships last season, is the No. 6 overall seed and will play Patriot League champion Lehigh (18-5) in the first round on May 10 at noon. In the other first round match, No. 32 Memphis, the Conference USA champion, will play No. 39 BYU from the West Coast Conference, and the winners will play in the second round on May 11 at 2 p.m. “This is a team that’s been there before, and they also See TENNIS, PAGE 7
Diamond Rebs to host St. Louis By Matt Sigler mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu
No. 24 Ole Miss will look to get on track tonight as they take on Saint Louis in a nonconference midweek matchup. The Rebels (31-14) are coming off a weekend where they dropped two of three to conference foe Kentucky, while St. Louis (3013) enters the game after dropping two of three to Richmond University. Ole Miss will send sophomore right-hander Josh Laxer to the mound to start the game. Laxer, who has been the Rebels’ consistent midweek starter, enters the game with a 2-0 record and 2.08 ERA in 10 appearances, seven of those being starts. Saint Louis will counter with freshman right-hander Joe Powell, who is 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA. Powell has seen action in 14 games this season, but this will be just his third start of the year. At the plate for the Rebels, junior catcher Stuart Turner continues to lead the way with a .376 batting average, but senior third baseman Andrew Mistone has begun to swing it well and has moved into second position

on the team with a .297 average. At the plate for Saint Louis, Grant Nelson leads the way with a .350 batting average and 33 runs scored. The Billikens will turn to senior outfielder Alex Kelly and sophomore first baseman Mike Vigliarolo for their power supply. The duo rank first and second on the
team in home runs with seven and six, respectively. First pitch between Ole Miss and Saint Louis is set for 6:30 p.m. at Swayze Field. For continuing coverage of Ole Miss baseball, follow @SigNewton_2 and @thedm_sports on Twitter.
