OLE MISS TUITION TO INCREASE 8.5 PERCENT In-state students are about to see their tuition increase a few hundred dollars over the next few years, while out-of-state students watch theirs rise by the thousands.

The state college board voted to increase tuition at Ole Miss by 8.5 percent at their meeting on May 7.

Resident tuition will increase from this year’s $5,792 to $6,282. Nonresident tuition will increase 9.9 percent, from $ 14,797 to $16, 266.

The board also voted on potential increases for fiscal year 2014. They voted for a 6 percent increase to $6,660 for resident tuition and an 8.4 percent increase to $17,628 for nonresident tuition.

Sparks emphasized that the numbers for 2014 are not final.

“A lot of variables can change between now and then,” Sparks

said. “It can be both positive or negative, and we want to be prepared either way.”

The university initially requested a minimum 6.8 percent increase. Further increases were necessary because of the decrease in state appropriations and the lack of funding for the Public Employment Retirement System.

No funding was given to

the university for PERS, and state appropriations fell by .8 percent, according to Larry Sparks, Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance at Ole Miss.

Before the tuition increase, Ole Miss ranked 35th among schools of the South Regional Education Board in tuition, with its tuition at only 71 percent of the average.

Not all schools in the region have voted on their tuition increases yet, so it cannot be determined exactly where Ole Miss will rank after all increases, Sparks said.

However, based on preliminary numbers, Sparks said he feels that Ole Miss will stay in the same spot when all increases are taken into account.

“From listening to my counter parts around the SEC, I think you’re going to see similar increases in tuition,” Sparks said.

He said some confusion could be caused by the fact that Mississippi does not have mandatory student fees, and instead includes such costs in tuition.

Other schools may spread their increases out between tuition and these mandatory fees, but Sparks said, taking this into account, tuition increases will likely be fairly equal.

Coming soon: 4G LTE service Verizon Wireless sets the standard for data downloads on campus this fall, launching 4G LTE coverage exclusively to Verizon students.

BY SARAH DOUGLASS spdougl2@olemiss.edu

Next fall Ole Miss and Oxford will launch Verizon Wireless’s 4G Long Term Evolution coverage, which will provide students with Verizon data plans greater connectivity and an average of 10 times more speed than 3G networks. This will result in stronger and clearer connections. Students can look forward to experiencing average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second.

To take advantage of the speed and connectivity of Verizon’s 4G LTE, however, students must be a Verizon Wireless customer.

“If you’re watching a movie over LTE or holding a live video conference call, there’s no buffering,” said Ginger Daril, public relations manager of the South Central Region. “It’s in real time, and it appears in real time with no delay. For students and any customer, that means work gets done faster without time See VERIZON, PAGE 4

Exchange club tries to keep the peace in Lafayette County The Exchange Club Family Center is looking to decrease the number of Youth Court Crimes in Lafayette County.

BY HOUSTON BROCK thedmnews@gmail.com

Lafayette County Youth Court saw an increase in the number of crimes committed from 201011. The youth court staff and non-profit organizations like the Exchange club are looking to decrease the number of underage crimes in 2012.

Located in the Chancery building in downtown Oxford, the youth court is where adolescents are put on the stand to face the consequences of their crimes. Coming from all backgrounds and households, these

adolescents are often victims of the environment around them, Youth Court Counselor Jennifer Bullard said.

Bullard deals with juveniles after they are charged by the police or sheriff departments. They send the charges to Bullard, who sits down with the offenders and discusses their options. Small fights and shoplifting charges are often handled with anger management sessions supervised by Bullard or the The Exchange Club Family Center.

Bullard can make a recommendation for the youths to be sent to The Exchange Club

Family Center where Executive Director Fred Johnson works with youth offenders and abused children primarily between the ages of 12-17. The Exchange Club has programs in Lafayette, Marshall and Panola counties.

At one time, they may have as many as 30 youths on their roll in each county.

According to the Mississippi Department of Human Services, in 2011 there were 130 youth court referrals in Lafayette County. This is a 35 percent increase from the amount of referrals in 2010. Johnson said most of the youth involved at The Ex-

change Club come from a youth court recommendation.

One recommendation often made is the Adolescent Opportunity Program (AOP), a program The Exchange Club uses to rehabilitate juveniles.

“The kids in that program are usually here for a year,” Johnson said. “(The juvenile) has to come two days a week for two hours a day where we give them day treatment.”

Another program run through The Exchange Club is Correcting our Past and Establishing Skills (COPES). The day treatments for COPES and AOP

consist of role-playing and guest speakers.

The AOP and COPES are not limited to the youths who commit the crimes. Their parents are also involved.

“When a kid is put in AOP, the parents are also in AOP,” Johnson said. “They have to adhere to whatever the rules and regulations are, as well as the child.”

If a youth is referred for smoking marijuana, the pressure is on the parents to make sure the adolescents are not smoking at See EXCHANGE, PAGE 4

As students at one of the nation’s top party schools, many of us are familiar with the concept “liquid courage.” We, or someone we know, have had a few drinks and subsequently acted with gusto in a way we would not have acted without the help of alcohol.

The Internet, its allowance of anonymity and the creation of “false distance” have revolutionized what I call “digital courage.” This is the courage we have to say and do things through digital media that we normally would not say or do in face-to-face interaction.

One of the most common social gripes we all heard growing up was, “Say it to my face,” or, “Why were you talking about me behind my back?” Now, with a computer screen and the vast, yet not-so-far-away Internet between our frenemies and us, saying things to peoples’

“faces” happens at an alarming rate and at an alarming tone.

From passive-aggressive Facebook statuses to yelling at each other on Twitter, I bet every one of us can recall participating in or witnessing an interaction of this nature. Some laugh and blow it off, treating it as if it is no big deal. Others remark at the silliness of it all. But, headline news should be a reminder that Internet gossip and feuding, no matter how light-hearted, can have serious side effects, both seen and unseen.

Anonymous bullying in the form of comedy is also on the rise. From being called out on OleMissProblems or some other form of “dramedy” spoof of Gossip Girl, our generation has been overcome with snide, subtle and sarcastic forms of bullying that are shockingly humorous, entertaining and addicting.

What is surprising about these sites is the way we relate to them. Regardless of their inappropriate nature (think “Texts from Last Night” or “Total Frat Move”), these blogs express something to which we relate.

They let us know that someone else out there thinks the same things we do, and because we are not the ones behind them and because blame can seemingly not be pinned on anyone, we continue to go back and encourage the creators to make more.

This courage and the group mentality it creates can be quite dangerous. Combined with the decreasing privacy we face on the Internet, it will be interesting to see how these things come back to haunt us down the road.

Adventure on the Ocoee: OMOD white water rafting trip Ole Miss Outdoors is accepting 10 students to sign up for an adventure down the Ocoee River later this summer.

BY BLAIR JACKSON sbjackso@olemiss.edu

The small, pleasant town of Oxford will be a relaxing, lazy place in midsummer.

Most students will be enjoying their laid-back schedule, taking a few classes and maybe squeezing in some pool time.

But on June 29, one group of students will set out from Oxford, leaving school and boredom behind, for a weekend of adventure.

These students will be among the lucky 10 who will be part of the Ole Miss Outdoors white water rafting trip on the Ocoee River. Perfectly placed in mid-summer, the trip will take place from June 29 to July 1.

The group will set out after class on Friday and drive about five hours to the Nantahala Outdoor Center near Chattanooga, Tenn. Once there, they will set up camp for the night and wake the next morning for a full day of rafting through the Nantahala Outdoor Center. That night, the group will set up camp again and cook out on the river side.

Shannon Richardson, assistant director of campus recreation, said OMOD has taken several white water rafting

COURTESY OLE MISS OUTDOORS | The Daily Mississippian

trips in the past and they always have a great turn out.

“It’s seriously one of the most popular trips,” Richardson said. “People just love to raft.”

The trip costs $230 and is all inclusive, covering transportation, camp fees, rafting outfitter fees, camping equipment rental, camp food and a T-shirt. Registration is in the Ole Miss Outdoors office, Turner 112, open MondayFriday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

As there are only 10 spots available, interested students are encouraged to sign up

quickly.

Students who wish to participate need only need to bring some extra cash for snacks on the ride there and back. As for gear, students who come on the trip will need to bring a swimsuit and old tennis shoes or river shoes.

“We have all the gear, tents and sleeping bags,” Richardson said. “You don’t have to bring your own unless you want to.”

Leading the group will be two student leaders who have been trained in outdoor trip guidance. Melissa Guirola

and Mona Foshee are the trip leaders for the white water rafting trip in June.

Guirola has led Ole Miss Outdoors trips before and said they always share good memories with the students that participate.

“It’s a fun way to meet other students,” she said.

She added these trips are meant for beginners and are open to any student, faculty member or community member who wants to participate.

“It’s one of those things you get involved with and you get hooked on,” Guirola said.

“You really just can’t stop.”

The company that Ole Miss Outdoors will be rafting with is the Nantahala Outdoor Center.

This company that Richardson describes as “very trustworthy” will provide a river guide who will be with the group the entire trip. In the past, groups have had leaders who were both OMOD leaders and NOC guides.

Sun, fun and spraying water: Ole Miss Outdoors’ simple summer mindset is the perfect antidote for the lazy or stressed student. What better way to cool off and enjoy the weather than with a white water rafting trip?

In a perfect combination of a weekend get-away and adventurous white water rafting, students are sure to come back from this trip with fun stories and a renewed love for the outdoors.

Although space is limited, there’s no need to fret if a student misses this trip. OMOD will still be around this fall and will more-than-likely be taking another white water rafting trip in the cooler weather.

Researchers make efforts to aid the Gulf University of Mississippi researchers aid the Gulf clean-up process with plans to decontaminate oysters from the Gulf.

BY GABRIELLE MCMILLAN grkrotse@gmail.com

With many Mississippians still being affected by the 2010 BP oil spill, it is no wonder as to why University of Mississippi researchers are exploring ways to clean up crude oil found in oysters from the Gulf.

The University’s latest proposal involves oyster contamination clean up and detection. This is a two-step process, in which they will apply eco-friendly compounds to contaminated oysters and then examine them under a high-resolution mass imaging facility.

Expected to occur over a three-year span, the group is proposing that the funding of $2,985,345 be provided toward their efforts.

“Ultimately the process can clean up spilled oil in a very cheap and eco-friendly way,” University of Mississippi graduate student Jooneseok Oh said.

“Oysters are filter feeders, so they are not able to ingest the large chunks of oil

itself,” University of Mississippi graduate student John Bowling said. “However, our concern is the organic molecules that leach into the water from the oil that could contaminate them.”

The University’s researchers have come up with a method they believe would target the contaminated oysters.

“We would do so by using a metal such as titanium dioxide,” Oh said. “It has been proven to significantly degrade crude oil in oysters.

Titanium is also heavy, so it will be able to sit at the bottom of the water.”

And how exactly does the process of oyster decontamination work?

“Titanium dioxide comes in a powder form that is rather cheap,” Oh said.

“It is believed that it is not impacting on the environment because it degrades as soon as the decontamination process begins. The titanium dioxide compound, which sits on the bottom of the ocean, is activated by UV rays, which would of course

come from our sun. Crude oil is only composed of hydrocarbons, and once you apply UV rays to the titanium dioxide, it will activate which will then degrade the hydro carbon in the crude oil.”

Once this process is complete the oysters will have hopefully been decontaminated.

Then continuing on to the next step, the team will ensure that the oysters have been decontaminated by using the high-resolution mass imaging facility.

“Once the contaminated oyster is in our procession, we can take tissue from the oyster and place it on the camera,” Oh said.

“We will then be able to see where the contamination still is at. Our findings thus far have been that the oil has degraded or disappeared.”

Oh said the project is promising. After the team comes up with a method of implementing it, the team hopes to patent the project and apply it to the oil spill clean-up process.

The difference between 3G, 4G and 4G LTE will not be unnoticed.

“I thought 3G was perfectly fine, but the difference between 3G and 4G is noticeable,” said David Drewrey, director of telecommunications and security coordinator. “I could log onto Hulu and watch clear video. You’re going to see a really good experience as far as, you know, smooth signal and everything.”

Students not on Verizon may see this as an incentive to switch wireless networks.

“Not being able to use the 4G LTE will be a pain,” said Leigh Richardson, dietetics and nutrition sophomore and AT&T costumer. “I am planning on using my friend’s 4G LTE, and if it really makes a difference I’ll think about switching over to Verizon.”

“Our goal is once they leave our program they’re drug free,” Johnson said. “Five years down the road, we want them to remember that ‘I can be drug

Verizon is being closely followed by vendors like AT&T in terms of continuously updating their services.

“AT&T is going to upgrade their microsites,” Drewrey said. “I’m assuming maybe to their 4G LTE. They didn’t tell me what it was for; they just said they wanted to upgrade to better antennas, and since it is 4G now, to me that would imply that the next step was 4G LTE.” Verizon customers will be given data package options depending on how much data they plan to use.

The 4G LTE network can now be accessed by more than two-thirds of the U.S. population. By the end of 2013, the 4G LTE network is predicted to cover all of the areas coast to coast that the 3G network currently covers.

“Verizon Wireless is aggressively expanding its 4G LTE network across the United States” Daril said.

Along with Oxford, cities in Mississippi that now have Verizon’s 4G LTE include Tupelo, Starkville and Columbus.

According to last year’s quarterly report, The Exchange Club had 393 individuals enrolled in the COPES and AOP programs in 2011. 95 percent of these individuals went on to graduate the programs drug-free.

These individuals were not all referrals from the youth court.

The Exchange Club is open to anyone who needs help, as long as the funding is there to support

them.

Bullard said state funding was cut from some of the smaller AOP and COPES programs including the one in Lafayette County.

“They’re supposed to go there four days a week,” Bullard said.

“Right now because they don’t have the funding, it’s two days a week.”

The Exchange Club ran on $24,000 last year, according to United Way Assistant Director Jennifer Hux. It is one of the 16

organizations that United Way in Oxford funds.

Juveniles in Lafayette County Youth Court are not always referred to The Exchange Club.

In situations where there are larger damages and restitution, the youths must go before Youth Court Judge David Bell to plead their case, where they can be sent to a detention center or training school.

Though the children are the ones committing the crimes, Bullard said she believes there

needs to be control over the juvenile’s parents.

“We have a lot of people these days that are having kids and have no interest in having a child,” Bullard said. “They don’t put time into their children; they don’t care what their children are doing as long as they’re not in their hair causing them problems.”

The Rebels are hitting .298 as a team and are averaging 5.42 runs per game. TCU, on the other hand, are hitting .268 collectively with an average of 5.54 runs scored per game.

The Horned Frog offense will not be at full strength this weekend, however. Senior outfielder Jason Coats, who leads TCU at the plate with a .326 average and 45 RBI, is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Aside from Coats, the Horned Frogs have three hitters hitting over .300.

Scouting Texas A&M The host team of the College Station Regional will get a Friday contest against the Dayton Flyers at 6:35 p.m., but the Aggies could be a team Ole Miss faces at some point over the weekend.

Texas A&M (42-16) finished the regular season 16-8 in the Big 12 and went 1-2 in the conference tournament.

Much like TCU, the Aggies strength is their pitching staff and the depth it presents.

Texas A&M’s top two starters are junior right-hander Michael Wacha and senior righthander Ross Stripling.

Although it hasn’t been announced, it is likely that Wacha will start Friday’s game against Dayton with Stripling being a possible matchup for the Rebels if Ole Miss and the Aggies can garner a win on Friday.

Stripling is 10-3 this season with a 2.90 earned run average. He has also recorded 110 strikeouts in 118.0 innings of work. If Ole Miss were to face him on Saturday, sophomore right-hander Mike Mayers will be the probable starting pitcher. Mayers has a 5-3 record to go a long with a 3.52 earned run average in 84.1 innings pitched this year.

Offensively, Texas A&M

has been inconsistent but still holds a .292 team batting average. They average 5.95 runs per game this season. The Aggies leader at the plate is junior outfielder Tyler Naquin, who is hitting .384 with 46 RBI and has three home runs.

Scouting Dayton As the No. 4 seed in the regional, Dayton (31-28) is not expected to do much, but they are not to be underestimated either. The Flyers went 17-7 in the Atlantic 10, and won the conference championship to earn a birth in the regional.

Dayton is hitting .293 as a team and is averaging 6.1 runs per game. Senior infielder Brian Blasik is the offensive leader with a .344 average and 46 RBI. On the mound, the Flyers as a team have an earned run average of 4.77. Senior righthander Tim Bury is the team statistical leader with an 8-2 record on the year to go along with a 3.14 earned run average in 103.1 innings pitched.

Granger in the 100 meters (15th, 10.37), Benjamin Lapane in the javelin (15th, 2156), the men’s 4x400 meter relay team of Dante Oliver, Creighton Serrette, Brian Word and Montez Griffin (13th, 3:06.81), Jasmine Williams in the 200 meters (16th, 23.76) and the women’s 4x100 meter relay team of Shari Russell, Jasmine Williams, Monica Williams and Bridges (14th, 45.14).

The women’s 4x400 meter relay team had a chance to do well and place top 12, but McDonald was tripped up during her third leg and hurt the Rebels’ chances.

The senior hit 10 of his 12 home runs in league play, leading the category by a large margin for most of the season.

Like Yarbrough, the first baseman also ranks in the top 10 in the SEC in six offensive categories, including slugging percentage, doubles, home runs and total bases in addition to being the league RBI leader. He also committed only one error in the field this season to field at a .998 clip at first base.

Snyder was also named to the SEC Community Service team for his efforts in the local community that include participation in activities like Reading With The Rebels, the Rebel Rerun program, visits to St. Jude Children’s Hospital and the program’s annual Bats and Balls clinic for area youth to learn baseball.

Wahl was the third Rebel to earn selection to an All-SEC team by the league’s coaches after being one of the top pitchers in the league this season. Wahl posted a 6-3 record and is second in the league with a 2.26 ERA and fourth in the league with 90 strikeouts this season. He was twice named the SEC Pitcher of the Week after posting shutout wins over UNCWilmington and No. 1 Florida.

The sophomore right-hander turned in nine quality starts on the season as the Friday night starter in the Rebels’ weekend rotation, and picked up his six wins against No. 10 TCU, UNCWilmington, Houston, Auburn, No. 1 Florida and Tennessee.

He took no decision, but left the game with the Rebels holding to a lead three times against No. 1 Kentucky, Georgia and No. 4 LSU.

Rebels honored with All-SEC selections A trio of Rebels were honored with a selection to the All-SEC teams by the league’s coaches for the 2012 season. Alex Yarbrough, Matt Snyder and Bobby Wahl were named, the Southeastern Conference office announced on Tuesday.

Ya r b r o u g h was named an All-SEC first team selection at second base, while Snyder and Wahl were tabbed as second-team selections at first base and pitcher, respectively.

Yarbrough was also named to the All-Defensive Team, while Snyder was also named to the Community Service Team.

Yarbrough anchored the middle of the infield for the Rebels this season at second base, turning in an almost flawless performance with only two errors in the field through 59 games for a .992 fielding percentage. The junior committed his first error in the second game of the season and then turned in a stretch of 456 consecutive innings without an error before committing his second error in the field.

At the plate, Yarbrough has led the Rebels with a .389 batting average and is second in the SEC in batting average and hits (91), while ranking in the top 10 of six offensive categories that also includes on base percentage, slugging percentage, doubles and total bases.

Snyder has been one of the top power hitters in the SEC this season and the top run producer as he has posted 12 home runs and tallied a league-leading 57 RBI while hitting at a .333 clip this season.

NCAA,

Track and field junior Ricky Robertson

Rebels set for regional play against TCU Friday Ole Miss will head to College Station Texas for NCAA Regionals. The Rebels will begin play against TCU Friday afternoon in the double-elimination tournament.

BY DAVID COLLIER dlcollie@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss has lost six of their last seven games including a 1-2 performance in the SEC Tournament last week, but on Monday the Rebels (35-24) received second life, earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament as the No. 3 seed in the College Station, Texas Regional hosted by Texas A&M. Ole Miss will face No. 2 seed TCU (36-19) in the first round at 12:35 p.m. on Friday.

Along with the Aggies and the Horned Frogs, the Dayton Flyers will complete the regional as the No. 4 seed.

“I thought we were in,” head coach Mike Bianco said. “You talk about the resume and you talk about the whole year, the RPI, it’s almost a shame there are some anxious moments.

As far as record and strength of schedule and those type things, you certainly have to like our resume.”

The Rebels now know for certain they are in the tournament and are looking to put the struggles of the past few weeks behind them as they move forward to the weekend.

Inconsistency has been an issue for Bianco’s club all sea-

son long, but they are concentrating on seeing this weekend as a new opportunity to play their best baseball of the year.

“Obviously, last year we didn’t have the season we wanted to, and this year we still haven’t played our best baseball,” junior second baseman Alex Yarbrough said.

“We had a better year resultswise this year. It was really good to see that (name on the screen) and to get to go play at a place like College Station.

It will be a great atmosphere, and we’re really excited for it.”

All regional games can be seen on ESPN3.com.

Scouting TCU Ole Miss’ opponent on Friday will be a familiar one in TCU, whom the Rebels faced to open the season back in February. The two teams split a pair of games in the rainshortened series.

The Horned Frogs finished 18-6 in the Mountain West, but like Ole Miss, went 1-2 in their conference tournament.

TCU’s strength is on the mound, and on Friday, freshman right-hander Preston Morrison will start for the Horned Frogs. Morrison is 9-1 on the year with a 1.73

earned run average in 98.2 innings pitched. Friday will mark just his ninth start, but he’s no stranger to Ole Miss.

Morrison got the win against the Rebels earlier in the year, throwing 3.1 innings of perfect baseball in relief.

His counterpart will be Ole Miss’ sophomore right-hander Bobby Wahl. The Springfield, Va., native is 6-3 this season with a 2.25 earned run average in 87.2 innings pitched.

Wahl has also posted 90 strikeouts this season. In the season opener, Wahl picked up the win against TCU giving up just two runs on five hits in 5.0 innings of work.

At the plate, Ole Miss holds a large advantage on paper.

Lately, however, the Rebels have struggled mightily to push runs across the plate.

“I don’t care how many runs we score, I just want to win,” Ole Miss hitting coach Cliff Godwin said. “I’ve told our guys, if it takes us ten runs, that’s how many runs we need to score. If it takes one run, that’s how many we need.

“Obviously, the past few weeks we haven’t put a lot of runs on the board. It’s about

Five Rebels qualify for NCAA Championships JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A total of five Ole Miss athletes qualified for the upcoming NCAA Championships in

seven different events after a strong showing at the NCAA East Preliminary at Hodges Stadium.

Leading the way for the No. 11 nationally ranked Rebel men’s team were Ricky Robertson and Isiah Young,

who both advanced to the national meet in two different events. It took a top-12 finish at the East preliminary to advance to the June 6-9 NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

Robertson qualified in the high jump for the sixth straight time in his career (three indoor, three outdoor) by finishing fifth in Jacksonville (7-2.25). He also qualified in the triple jump after placing third (52-4).

Robertson has earned AllAmerica honors five straight times in the high jump, including a runner-up finish on three occasions. He is also a five-time SEC champion in the event and the current world leader with a careerbest jump of 7-7.25.

Young qualified in both the 100 meters and 200 meters after a good weekend of sprinting. He placed 11th in the 100 (10.29) on Friday before placing seventh in the 200 (20.51) on Saturday. It will be Young’s first career appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He was a first team All-Ameri-

can in the 60 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships earlier this year.

Other Rebel men to qualify for the national meet were Carson Blanks in the 400-meter hurdles (fifth place, 50.41) and Sam Kendricks in the pole vault (10th place, 17-3.5).

Blanks, a senior, will make his fourth straight NCAA Outdoor appearance, while Kendricks, a freshman, will make his first.

Senior Kristin Bridges was the lone Ole Miss woman to qualify for Des Moines this weekend. She placed 10th in the 400 meters with a personal-best time of 52.65, which ranks her fourth in school history.

Bridges will be joined in Des Moines by sophomore Fabia McDonald, who automatically qualified for the national meet in the heptathlon by ranking top 24 in the nation.

Other Ole Miss athletes who just missed a spot at nationals by finishing outside the top 12 included Mike See NCAA, PAGE 7
