Incoming freshmen taught to ‘Respect the M’ BY LOGAN KIRKLAND ltkirkla@go.olemiss.edu
The William Winter Institute of Racial Reconciliation and Mulitcultural Affairs continue to work with orientation to provide an effective session on diversity called “Respect the M.” The “Respect the M” session was introduced last year to educate incoming students on religion, race and gender relations in response to the election incident in 2012. Jennifer Stollman, academic director at the Winter Institute, said the “Respect the M” orientation session was born out of the idea to figure out how to make The University of Mississippi a more inclusive campus. “It’s sort of a welcome to the university,” Stollman said. “Here’s the lay of the land, here’s the benefits of coming to The University of Mississippi with respect to diversity.” Stollman said this session is a way to introduce students and parents to the kind of learning environment their students would be joining in order to introduce the expectations of a college campus. Stollman also said a lot of people come to school without these expectations, but many people come to the university with anxieties or harboring problematic thinking that can hinder their learning success. “If you come in with a closed mind about people who are of a different gender, sexuality, race,

ethnicity or religion you are actually cutting off a part of your learning experience,” she said. Stollman said the university is a global society, and as such has certain values and standards that have to be upheld. During the session participants talk about what the creed is and what it is not.
“The University of Mississippi is not a place to harbor sexism, homophobia, classism, prejudice or racism.” Stollman said. “We expect our students to model our mission and model the values that we hold.” This year a social media component has been introduced to the session.
Stollman said she wants to make sure that people are using social media wisely, not in a way that promotes the philosophy of inequity. “People, through either anonymity or not, were using social media to spread some really problematic views about race, class, gender and sexuality,” Stollman
said. “We don’t uphold that.” Stollman said when students going to college for the first time get to experience freedom to its fullest, but one needs to be aware of what that freedom means. “With that freedom comes a certain amount of responsibility,” Stollman said. “That responsibilSee RESPECT, PAGE 5
Cochran, McDaniel to compete in runoff BY LACEY RUSSELL dmeditor@gmail.com
After months of persistent and controversial campaigning, six-term Mississippi Republican incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran and challenger Chris McDaniel are headed to a June 24 runoff election.

Let’s take a journey. The year is 2011. I’m vacationing on a small beach outside Jacksonville, Florida when a friend casually says, “I found this app called Instagram. It lets you add these things called filters to pictures.” A small statement that changed my life forever. For a while, everything was fine. The app wasn’t very popular. My feed consisted mostly of mediocre scenery and food. I averaged four likes per picture. I didn’t think about it much. Though, I’ll never forget the day I reached the coveted “11 likes” marker. It wasn’t until about six months later that Instagram took off. People began posting like crazy. There were selfies, “flashbacks” that were in actuality just two-week-old pictures from a bar the user forgot to post sooner and obscure pictures of sunsets with quotes that had no relevancy. An app categorized as “Photography” quickly became a fad that deviated far from that.

Our lives revolve around Instagram, and it appears as though our generation is currently more focused on creating a successful Instagram post than making long lasting memories. “Which picture should I Instagram?” “Which filter looks best?” are two of the most common questions you will hear during human interaction. At sporting events, concerts, Thanksgiving meals, churches, hospitalizations. No occasion is above being Instagrammed. The minute something significant happens, the phones are whipped out. And everything is filtered — our children will believe that back in our day, everything was slightly off yellow or orange tinted. If the stress that is brought about by trying to select a filter wasn’t enough, just wait until you post the picture. That’s when the real anxiety comes. Users are consistently refreshing the app to see an updated consensus of likers on said photo. I have witnessed with my own two eyes people deleting their pictures due to

the lack of likes they received. Instagram users consider it embarrassing when their pictures don’t receive enough likes; is the fact that you liked the picture enough to post it on the internet not enough for you? I’m convinced that people engage in life-altering affairs such as getting a tattoo, purchasing expensive novelties, and – going out on an extreme limb here – even adopting adorable children all for the sake of putting it on the Internet and increasing the number of likes on their photos. It’s not even enough now to take a picture on your iPhone. No. People take bulky high-quality cameras everywhere, and they document everything. Don’t be that person. Leave your camera at home. The last time I wanted a high quality picture of me at dinner or in the Grove or a bar was never. Please keep your Nikon d800 out of innocent civilian lives. Those cameras are for photographers.

Band Profile: The Holy Ghost Electric Show BY CODY THOMASON csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
The set descended into madness. The bassist leapt down from his perch atop his amplifier and stepped into the crowd, playing wildly before letting the fans join in and strum the instrument. The drummer stood up to wail on his kit while the lead guitarist grabbed a shard of his drumstick and struck it against his guitar before smacking it against the amp to distort the sound. The trombonist carried a floor tom into the crowd, and after beating it he stabbed the stick through the head of the drum. Despite the almost punk rock style of some of the more energetic moments of their shows, the wild stage presence doesn’t take away from the quality of the music played by The Holy Ghost Electric Show. With mature songwriting and a style pulled from influences of multiple genres, The Holy Ghost Electric Show is able to combine proficient, skillful music with a thrilling live show. The six-piece is made up of Cody Rogers doing rhythm guitar and vocals, Will Shirley on lead guitar, Jake Rogers playing acoustic guitar, Austin Wheeler on the drums, Connor Wroten on bass and Jesse James playing the trombone. The band is from northeast Mississippi, and they released their debut album, “The Great American,” Jan. 30. Rogers’ music career started when he began playing small acoustic solo sets in his hometown of Corinth. He played in local bars and record stores at first, but slowly the band started building up members, including Rogers’ brother, who had often played with him. “It eventually became a band that was worth having that title,
because it was kind of ironic calling myself The Holy Ghost Electric Show when I was playing an acoustic guitar by myself,” Rogers said. “Not really much electricity or much of a show, but it was just me by myself for a long time.” Rogers came up with the name by taking a King James version of the Bible, as well as a book of poetry by Arthur Rimbaud and mixing lines and words together until they stuck, eventually landing on The Holy Ghost Electric Show. “I have a whole list somewhere of all the other ones I was playing with and that was by far the best one, so that says a lot about the other ones,” Rogers said. The band has been playing around Mississippi since 2010, and started playing regularly in Oxford in 2012. The band has also played shows in Alabama, Arkansas and major cities like Nashville and Memphis. “A lot of people would call our music folk rock or something like that, but when we write a song we never set out to write a genre,” Rogers said. “Each one of us has so many influences from so many artists it’s hard to stick to one thing.” These influences include Neutral Milk Hotel, Deafheaven, Bob Dylan, My Bloody Valentine, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Hank Williams Senior and Modest Mouse. Despite having such a broad range of influences, the band successfully melds these in the songwriting process. “Cody writes most of it. He’s a gifted writer,” Wheeler said. “He writes a riff first, which isn’t always very convoluted, but it’s what everyone else does with it that changes it. We jam on it for about an hour. That’s how you write a song, you just play on it.
We just craft around that base riff. Even in a live show Cody is like the eye of a hurricane. While we all go to cloud nine, he’s our tether to reality.” “We usually just tell everybody ‘Play what feels good.’ It’s very relaxed and easygoing. It’s one of my favorite parts of all of this actually, is the songwriting process and discovering the song,” Rogers said. “When you have a bunch of guys with you, and they’re as talented as the guys I play with, I might come up with the foundation blocks and stuff but they’ll take it places I never thought about it going.” After using these techniques to write their songs, the band went to the studio to record their work. “We had a weekend in 2013, before winter break, where we just went in there and recorded all of my drums in one day,” Wheeler said. “Beautiful place, but we got all our stuff done — we were extremely efficient about it.” “Four weeks later when we got out for winter break we had an entire week in January where we just all got out there and just stayed there for a week, and we committed all day for a week, every day, to just work on the album. We worked with Winn McElroy, he recorded all of The Weeks albums up until their newest one, and he recorded Light Beam Rider. He’s done a lot of good work.” “Winn McElroy is a wonderful guy that we bounced off immediately,” Rogers said. “He had the same work ethic that we did, and also had the same type of humor as we did. From day one we were all friends and having a good time. There were very few snags in the process, and the few snags there were, were really out of anybody’s hands, it wasn’t be-

cause of egos clashing or people wanting things different ways. I loved that process, and can’t wait to return.” The recording process culminated in “The Great American,” a concept album with multiple themes. “It’s about growing older and seeing your past and everything, the limit of your childhood totally disappearing, and seeing your parents grow older,” Rogers said of the album. “The things you thought were innocent are no longer innocent.” Wheeler explicated on another theme of the album. “It’s about kind of this idea that America never really existed in its idealistic form for a large proportion of people,” he said. The Holy Ghost Electric Show has a second album planned as well as several songs already written. “We’ve already got most of the new album written out, but we don’t need to go right back to the studio when this one just got out
in January, we need to boost it as much as possible,” Wheeler said. “When we do go back it’s gonna be another thematic concept album. It’s gonna revolve around growing up in a small town, each song will be a different person’s story,” Wheeler said. “We all grew up in small towns where the gap between the power elite and the normal people is just huge.” The band has already played with The Weeks and The Lumineers and plans to do a lot of touring this summer. With members still in college, it can be difficult to tour frequently. “We’re planning on doing some major touring over the summer, because we can’t let the album wither up and die; we have to continually promote it,” Wheeler said. “A booking agency called us and said they wanted to put us on a bunch of festivals on the eastern seaboard, so we’ll hopefully be going up the East Coast, and probably be doing some folk festivals.”

Construction on Old Taylor Road leads to traffic inconvenience BY GIANA LEONE gleone@go.olemiss.edu
LOGAN KIRKLAND | The Daily Mississippian
Old Taylor Road will remain closed due to construction that will last until August.
Reanna Mayoral, assistant city engineer for the city of Oxford, also believes the project will slow down the growing congestion of traffic and will also provide a safe way for pedestrians to cross the highway. “I often saw students heading to class walking across that bridge and am so thankful there will now be a safe way for them to cross,” Mayoral said.

The new project is intended to reduce the growing traffic, keep the pedestrians who walk around Oxford safer and reduce accidents. But not everyone is happy about the summer constructions and upcoming roundabouts. Junior elementary education major Mary Claire Stennett feels the construction and detours are inconvenient. She thinks the new roundabouts will only bring more traffic to Oxford. “I feel like it’ll be worse. The ones on South Lamar are a pain because nobody knows what they’re doing and traffic gets backed up,” Stennett said. According to Watt Bishop,
a member of the planning committee of Oxford, the roundabouts are just a step to bettering the community of Oxford. He thinks the city of Oxford needs to look at the bigger picture in order to control congested traffic and keep Oxford environmentally friendly. “We are putting people in living conditions where they can’t operate without a car,” Bishop said. He believes Oxford has become car-centric and that in order to help the growth of traffic, the community and university need to create an environment where people can live without a car. “There are places in Amer-
Stings. Sprains. Sunburn.
ica that have dealt with growth and emphasize people being able to ride their bike to work, take shuttles. Live in places where there’s a park, grocery store, there’s a church, there’s something for you do that you don’t have to do in a car,” Bishop said. Although community members have differing feelings toward the new roundabouts, the plan is to build the roundabouts and have them re-open on time for the fall semester. The Mississippi Department of Transportation plans to have the bridge finished by Aug. 15, before the first day of classes.

Members of the Oxford community have mixed emotions about the $6.8 billion project to add double-lane roundabouts to Old Taylor Road and hope the inconvenience will be worth it in the end. Talbot Brothers Contracting Co. has been working on the Old Taylor Road bridge since the end of the 2014 spring semester. The construction has caused a permanent shutdown of one of the main roads people use to get around the city. Although new detours have become available to the community members who live on Old Taylor Road, the congestion of traffic has increased. Chase Buchanan, customer service representative at BancorpSouth, takes one of the detours during his morning commute to work. Buchanan is understanding with the construction going on in Oxford and hopes the new roundabouts will manage the growing traffic. “Like everyone, I am cautious of change, but I’m happy to see Oxford growing and so far the traffic has not been an unbearable inconvenience,” Buchanan said. The roundabouts will be at each end of the bridge on Old Taylor Road over Highway 6, and then there will be a second lane added in each direction to the north-south bridge, along with a sidewalk on the east side.

ity includes valuing others.” There is talk during the session about how the university has a tremendous amount of diversity that makes up its student community, according to Stollman. Stollman said students need to be aware of how wonderful it is to be living, working and learning with people who come from around the globe. She said what the session promotes is to take advantage of those intellectual highways. “It’s not only about learning from people who come from different life experiences, but also what kinds of tools do you need to develop, or what kinds of skills and knowledge do you need to possess to work effectively with people who come from across the globe or across the campus,” Stollman said Associate Dean of Students Valeria Beasley-Ross and the Respect the M team said the foundational pillars of the session include avoiding hateful speech, listening, being inclusive and many more. The team said this session was created as a campaign to create conversations that focus on inclusion and to send a message about dignity and respect for all. “The presentation seeks to provide students with a better understanding of the impact of their actions on the university as a whole, on individual members of the institution, and on themselves,” Ross said on behalf of the Respect the M team. Members of the Respect the M team include Valeria Beasley-Ross,
Ty Allushuski, Jennifer Stollman, Carolina Orrego, Donald Cole, Ryan Whittington, EJ Edney and Ryan Upshaw. Austin Yarber, senior accountancy major, said he thinks it is sad that it has come to the point where the session is necessary, but understands why it is important to include in orientation. “I think it’s going to be good to educate the incoming freshmen on what’s been going on on campus, how to avoid it and hopefully how to react to it,” Yarber said. “I think it looks good that the university is trying to take proactive steps to try and stop things from happening in the future.” Yarber said inclusion is a topic that should not only be taught on campus, but also in the household before students even come to campus. “A lot of these conversations can be held at home, should be and should have been,” Yarber said. “but hopefully this session will cover the rest of those who are a little more immature.” Stollman said the mandatory attendance of the session is not a punishment; the information presented is vital for the success of the student, as well as the continued success of the university. “I think the university has made a serious commitment to make people feel welcome,” Stollman said. “What it says is that this university wants to make sure that students who come on to this campus know that they are coming to a safe and productive learning, working and living environment and these are the ways to keep it safe.”
ELECTIONS,
continued from page 1 provide it and validate their votes. Beyond that, officials have until June 13 to complete their canvass of the vote. If they take that long, that would leave only 10 days before the run-off election. In the next three weeks, Cochran and McDaniel are expected to continue vigorously campaigning while election officials sort through rarely used senate runoff rules and requirements. “This will be really interesting to watch,” said Jonathan Winburn, associate professor of political science. “There are lots of questions as to campaign strategy and involvement of outside groups. Will the establishment Republican Party and groups put on the full court press for Cochran
or stay out of it to avoid giving the Democrats anything to use in November? Plus they may not want to alienate McDaniel in case he wins, and then must work with him during the general election and then into the future.” Winburn said he does expect local endorsements to step up and rally around Cochran. As for McDaniel, he expects to see more ads and more money from groups outside the state as he represents the last hope of the Tea Party to unseat an establishment Republican incumbent during the primary season. “It’s almost as if we didn’t even have Tuesday, as if we didn’t have the election,” King said. “The funny part is, you’re going to see just as much advertising, yet the turn out will be even less at the runoff. It’s just hard
to get people to come out and vote for the campaign.” According to King, in the 2012 presidential election about 1.2 to 1.3 million Mississippians participated in the voting process, meaning about one million eligible voters chose not to vote. He believes that the vast majority of Mississippians are choosing to sit out on the primary election, waiting to cast their votes in the final senatorial election in November. “Individuals who voted in the Democratic primary yesterday are ineligible, as far as I understand,” Winburn said. “While people who did not vote can vote in the runoff. I’m not sure if lower turnout favors either candidate, but mobilizing voters is always a concern for campaigns.”

Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade is finally healthy Dwyane Wade was troubled in the playoffs last year by his bad knees. Wade had his knees drained at points throughout last year’s playoffs, but fought through the pain and helped his team win the title. Wade looks healthy this time around, averaging almost 19 points per game this postseason on almost 52 percent shooting, similar to his number during the regular season this year and better than his postseason numbers last year. The Heat will need Wade to contribute at a high level to beat the Spurs this time around. My prediction The Spurs came into the 20132014 season with a bad taste in their mouths after losing game six of last year’s finals in heartbreaking fashion. The Heat may have a three-peat on the line, but San Antonio will not let this one get away from them. Spurs in seven. 1

The legacies of both San Antonio and Miami This finals trip marks the fourth straight appearance in the finals for the Heat and they’re looking to win their third straight title. They’re looking to join the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and the 1990’s Chicago Bulls as the only teams to three-peat. Lebron James is looking to become the greatest player of all time and winning his third title in three seasons will help build his resume. A lot is at stake for the San Antonio Spurs also. The Spurs are looking to add their fifth title in the history of the franchise. The Spurs are widely considered the most well-run franchise in the NBA, winning four titles in nine years in 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007. The stability of the head coaching position with Greg Popovich has helped the Spurs build a strong core between Tim Duncan, Tony

ing force for the Spurs. As Parker goes, the Spurs go. Parker played throughout the playoffs with a bum hamstring, but in game six in the Western Conference finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he injured his ankle in the second quarter and did not play the rest of the game. Parker has been given the go to play in the finals and start game one, but how much he’ll be limited is the real question. How the Spurs will defend Lebron James It is no secret that Lebron James struggles against the Spurs. This ranges back to the 2007 NBA finals when James faced them while he was with Cleveland. James shoots a lower percentage in his career against the Spurs than any other team in the NBA. How will the spurs limit James offensively? They’ll have to rely on 22-yearold small forward Kawhi Leonard to limit James on the court. In last year’s finals, with Leonard on the court, James shot below 50 percent. With Leonard off the court, James shot 53.1 percent from the field. The Spurs even experimented putting 6-foot-2 Tony Parker on James throughout the finals. As a team, the Spurs gave James space in front of him while guard-

It may be a rematch of last year’s finals, but its the best possible matchup any NBA fan can ask for. It will once again be the western conference champion San Antonio Spurs against the eastern conference champion Miami Heat. It’s the team you hate to love in San Antonio against the team you love to hate in Miami. There are many storylines built into this finals matchup, which include a potential three-peat for the Heat, the legacies of Lebron James, Greg Popovich, Tim Duncan and much more. Last year’s finals ended in the most improbable fashion you will ever see, which resulted in the second-straight title for the Heat. San Antonio was up five points with less than a minute to go in a championship, clinching game
six, until the Heat made a furious comeback and tied the game with 5.2 seconds left with a miraculous 3-pointer from shooting guard Ray Allen. The Heat would later win the game to force a decisive game seven, which they also won to clinch back-to-back titles. Legendary Spurs power forward Tim Duncan missed a layup with under a minute left in game seven to tie the game and give the Spurs a chance at forcing overtime, but missed it. The agony of defeat still lives within the Spurs to this date and the revenge of letting a title go away will fuel them to play better against the Heat this time around. Revenge will play a big factor in this series. Here are other factors and match ups I’m looking forward to. The health of Spurs point guard Tony Parker Tony Parker is the the driv-

Football recruiting: Part 2 This second installment of a six part series focuses on the Rebels’ prospects for tight end and wide receiver for the 2015 recruiting class. BY CODY THOMASON csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
Ole Miss has been stellar at recruiting tight end and wide receiver prospects in the Hugh Freeze era, nabbing top-rated wide receiver and SEC Freshman of the Year Laquon Treadwell, All-SEC second team tight end Evan Engram and a former four star wide receiver in Quincy Adeboyejo in 2013. Last year they potentially added to this pattern by signing four star wide receiver Markell Pack, explosive tight end Sammie Epps and 6-foot3 wide receiver Dayall Harris. This class looks to follow that trend as Ole Miss holds commitments from athletes La’Michael Pettyway and Willie Hibbler and is heavy in the mix for other enticing prospects. Pettyway, the most recent of the Rebels’ commits, stands 6-foot-3 and is from Nashville, Ark. Although mainly recruited at wide receiver, Pettyway also plays safety and is a factor in the return game. According to Rivals. com, Pettyway committed to Ole Miss over offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Louisville, Ohio State and others. Although Hibbler has been committed since 2013, his decision seems anything but certain as Florida is making a strong push for the North Panola athlete. Hibbler projects to be a wide receiver or tight end at the next level. Although he would need to add some weight to his 6-foot-6, 224 pound frame to play tight
end, his height is superb for either position. Damarkus Lodge is the highest rated prospect on the Rebels’ radar for 2015 wide receivers. According to 247Sports composite ratings, the five star is the fourth ranked wide receiver in the nation. It will be a tough battle for Ole Miss to land him as Baylor, Alabama, Texas A&M, LSU and Texas are among those also vying for
him. Ole Miss’ chances are helped however, by the fact that Lodge grew up in Jackson before moving to Texas at age 13. In addition to this, current Ole Miss wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo was his teammate in high school, which could help sway Lodge’s interest to the Rebels. Lodge is scheduled to take an official visit to Oxford on Oct. 4 to see the Rebels take on Alabama.

Alex Ofodile comes in on the 247Sports composite rankings at number seven for wide receivers and a four star prospect overall. Hailing from Columbia, Mo., Ofodile ranks as the number one player in the state and is receiving strong interest from his hometown Mizzou Tigers, as well as from Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State, among others.

Tuesday and appears to have solid interest in the Rebels. Tennessee wide receiver Van Jefferson is also highly rated, coming in as the number 18 wide receiver in the nation and a four star prospect on 247Sports’ composite rankings. The son of an NFL receiver, Jefferson has taken one visit to Ole Miss and plans to return to Oxford again. The Ohio State Buckeyes and Georgia Bulldogs have strong interest in the 6-foot-1 wide receiver, as well as Penn State and Tennessee. Will Gragg is rated the seventh best tight end in the nation by the 247Sports rankings. Like Pettyway, Gragg is from Arkansas and being heavily recruited by the Razorbacks. Gragg’s older brother Chris played for Arkansas before being drafted into the NFL by the Buffalo Bills. In addition to Arkansas, Gragg has reportedly received 44 scholarship offers from schools around the country, including Texas, LSU and Alabama, according to Rivals.com. After the Crimson Tide committed fellow tight end Hale Hentges it’s unclear if they still remain in the mix to sign Gragg, but the LSU tigers recently hosted Gragg on a visit and are scheduled to host him again during the season. He also plans to revisit Texas and Ole Miss during the fall. The next addition in the recruiting series will focus on the offensive line, where Mississippi boasts an impressive array of prospects with ties to the Rebels.

Diamond Rebels hit the road to LouisianaLafayette for super regionals BY DYLAN RUBINO
The Ragin’ Cajuns easily boast the best offense in the country. They are second in the country in batting average, first in the country in total hits (Ole Miss is second), second in total home runs, first in runs scored and first in slugging percentage. If the pitching staff struggles for the Rebels, they’ll need to keep up with the Ragin’ Cajun offense if they want to have a shot, which they certainly can. Louisiana-Lafayette enters the super regional with a 57-8 overall record, the best record in the country by far. Louisiana-Lafayette also went 5-1 during the season against the SEC West. The Ragin’ Cajuns, one of the eight national seeds, had to play five games to host a super regional series. They lost their first game to Jackson State 1-0, but came back strong and won their next four against San Diego State, Jackson State again and Mississippi State twice. In those five regional games, the Ragin’ Cajuns scored 39 runs. Louisiana-Lafayette plays

in the Sun Belt conference and most of their games were played in their conference, but make no mistake, this team is one of the best in the country and the Rebels have a tough task at hand if they want a trip
to Omaha. The weekend series will be the best two out of three games. The first game will be 7 p.m. Saturday. The second game will begin 7 p.m. Sunday. The potential third game

The Rebels may have played their last game at Swayze on Monday, but their season continues as they prepare to take on Louisiana-Lafayette for a trip to the College World Series. This will be the first time the Rebels take the field for a super regional game since 2009, and hopefully the journey doesn’t stop there because the Rebels want the season to end in Omaha. They faced a tough hand playing 2 seed Washington in the Oxford regional. The pitching for Huskies, from their starters to their bullpen, gave the rebels fits, but the clutch hitters for the Rebels found a way to break through in the end. For the most part, pitching is what got the Rebels to the super regionals. They’ll need to continue their stellar pitching, but they’ll also need to score more runs to keep up with the highpowered offense of LouisianaLafayette.
