Track construction cost increases, bid date set Lenoir Dining reopens scturna1@go.olemiss.edu
Current estimate: $7.3 million
Estimated time of completion: Summer 2016 1 2 34 5
The construction on the track field will become available for bidding in August and is estimated to finish in the summer of 2016. The The funding for the construction on the track field rose to $7.3 million in May from the previous estimate of $4 million. Ian Banner, director of Facilities Planning and university architect, said the new estimate was formulated after consultation with engineers for the project. “We estimated the project originally before we engaged engineering consultants,” Banner said. “Once we got the design professionals on board and completed geotechnical studies, we realized that we’d underestimated it.” This project, which closed the track field in April 2014, comprises two individual projects that must be completed in conjunction with one another. The track itself is in need of replacement and a 48-inch storm drain pipe 17 feet below the surface needs to be redirected. “What we suspect is that there may have been a fracture in that drain pipe that has caused erosion to occur underneath the track,” Banner said. “That’s our first project, to prevent water from going under the track at all.” The storm drainage pipe will be redirected to a pipe that flows underneath the recently completed parking lot between Hill Drive and Procurement Services. The current track cannot be replaced until this structural work is completed. The slight movement caused by sub-level cavities made the track unfit for official competitions by NCAA standards. Since it was detect-
ed in 2014, the track team has relocated practices and meets. Joey Jones, associate media relations director, said the team has been practicing across town while the track has been out of operation. “There are inevitably some challenges from not being on your home track, but they’ve really performed well this entire season,” Jones said. Banner said orchestrating this construction has been difficult because it is at the crossroads of many other projects going on in that area. “We’ve been trying to plan our schedules around everybody’s activities and the complications of having two or three different projects in the same area,” Banner said. “Hill Drive is one of our main roads not only for circulation on campus, but for everybody. So we couldn’t just dig up Hill Drive without consulting the schedules of material deliveries on the arena and parking structure projects.” Banner said this fracture was not due to rainfall this year. “When you bury things for that long, you never know if there are erosion problems underground until you see the evidence of it on the surface,” Banner said. Though there is always the possibility of another drain causing erosion, Banner said he did not see it as a safety issue because the grounds are monitored well enough to recognize the ground level indicators and make repairs before problems become serious. Jones said the team is looking forward to the completion of the construction. “The current track coach loves home meets, so there will certainly be more when it’s back and ready.”

CLARA TURNAGE
Tables were set, napkins were folded and the aroma of fresh bread with caprese chicken greeted all who entered through the doors of Lenoir Dining as it reopened for the summer last week. Lenoir Dining, an on-campus restaurant completely run by Ole Miss students in the Nutrition and Hospitality Management department, is now open for reservations Monday through Friday at 11:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. “There is no other restaurant like this in terms of being student run, having truly great value and being at an affordable price,” said Beth Pace, food specialist and head chef of Lenoir Dining. For the set price of $7 for University faculty, staff and students, and $10 for the general public, you can get a a full three-course meal, including a bread of the day, appetizer, multiple entree options and dessert. All tips are donated to the Nutrition and Hospitality Management student scholarship fund. The restaurant is run by students enrolled in a class called Quantity Foods, a course that focuses on all aspects of running a business from the front to the back. Each day students are given a spreadsheet with their assigned title of waiter, table duty, host, cook, dish washing, among others. “I don’t mind taking orders and being a host, but I would have to say my favorite place to be is in the back, running the kitchen behind the scenes.” Alex Garner, a Nutrition Dietetics major said as she looked at her classmates preparing meals through the kitchen door window. “No matter which position I am in I

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
EMILY FORSYTHE CAROLYN SMITH account executives
Dear editor,
SARAH DRENNEN CLAIRE HUBACEK creative designers
My hope for humanity is often reaffirmed by my generation and our attempt to judge one another based on nobility and decency instead of socially constructed norms. Every now and then one of my peers makes a disheartening remark that reminds me the conversation isn’t over. As I grabbed my iced coffee and copy of the DM Thursday, I was stunned. The opinion column titled “What is it to be a hero?” was depreciating to the obstacles overcome by the LGBTQ community and quite frankly contradicting in it’s entirety. You begin by defining heroism as putting self-interest OR safety aside and demonstrating great acts of courage. Then, move on to describe people (Michael Sam and Caitlyn Jenner) who meet your criteria, but because they didn’t lose their life you minimize their bravery. Do you see where my confusion lies? Defying thousands of years of social norms is courageous and heroic.Neither death nor fame define heroism. Behaving in a manner that works to help those beyond you makes someone a hero. Our troops and police work to physically protect our communities; they are heroes. Jenner and Sam work to sociologically evolve the minds and opinions of our communities; they are heroes. Bravery isn’t limited to those that encounter death. Caitlyn’s bravery generated a very public conversation about the difficulties those in her predicament face everyday, like being a social pariah in their very own families and communities. The very public acts of courage displayed by Jenner has drawn attention to a group that has been historically ignored and mistreated. Consider the thousands she gave hope and as a result, the lives she saved. Our heroic soldiers work to fight for our rights abroad; heroic figures like Jenner work to fight for our rights at home.

What’s love got to do with it? Everything. ASHLEY NORWOOD
afnorwoo@go.olemiss.edu
As the organist played “Pomp and Circumstance,” Jim Hill High School’s class of 2010 marched single-filed onto the Mississippi Coliseum floor. I was so nervous. Sleep deprived, but cautious enough not to stumble in my new 5-inch stilettos. My shoulders were weighed down by colored cords and medallions symbolizing the process and progress of the past four years of my high school career. As I approached the stage, I realized that day wasn’t just for me. It was for my grandmother who had passed two years prior. She was my biggest fan. It was for my father who served as president of the Jackson Public School Board. He didn’t only want the best future for me, but every child. It was for my mother, an educator for 30 years. She sacrificed late nights helping me perfect project boards and argumentative speeches. Graduation was more than a ceremony of passage; it was a celebration of completion for my family and me. If it had not been for them, I wouldn’t have made it. Family members of Senatobia High School graduates share similar sentiments, but on May 21, four people who cheered for their loved ones received warrants for arrest for disturbing the peace. An aunt, Ursula Miller, called out her niece’s name. “LaKaydra, just like that,” she said. A brother, Henry Walker, waved his towel and said, “You did it baby” as he walked out of the ceremony. Jay Foster, superintendent of the Senatobia Municipal School District, asked the audience to hold applause until after all names had been called or be escorted out
of the ceremony. The announcement was also printed in the ceremony program. Families are upset and have told media that the consequences are ridiculous, and I agree. According to CNN, when the superintendent arrived in the district five years ago he began implementing changes to the ceremony procedure. “We want everyone to see their own loved ones graduate and hear their names called,” Foster said. “When people disrupt that, it takes away from the students and their families.” True enough, it happens. Families can cheer excessively and other families may miss the pronunciation of their loved one’s name. But how sacred is graduation that even a simple shouting of someone’s first name results in arrest? It’s not that serious. Let’s be honest, at 99.9% of the graduation ceremonies, the authorities usually make the same announcement. But, how often have you sat through a graduation so quiet you could hear a pin drop? Cheering for loved ones has become a norm. So much so that many families prepare for it with unique chants, signs etc. Not because there’s a disregard or disrespect for authority and procedure, but because it is hard to boggle such emotions. I don’t disagree with Foster for his desire to have a more structured environment at graduation.
But I do feel that he should think more realistically in his strategies. If families have bullhorns, bells, or any other loud noisemakers and are shouting excessively throughout the program, which then can be very disruptive, ban such objects and escort persons out if they still decide to use them. So, what if graduation runs a few minutes longer because you allow for families to tastefully cheer between pauses as each name is called? You only graduate once, so allow for that celebration. Families from near and far come to celebrate in that moment— give them that moment. It is immeasurable what families do for young students. If it weren’t for the discipline of that father or mother there would be no student; furthermore, there would be no you, Superintendent Foster. Would these arrests have been warranted if these were white family members? That’s a plausible question in today’s time of over-criminalization of African American people by white authority. Friday, my little cousin graduated from McKinney North High School. It is a predominantly white school and almost 400 other students graduated as well. In the beginning of the ceremony, the superintendent asked that all applause be held until afterwards. Every family represented cheered for their loved ones, white and black. Between claps, screams and

hip-hip-hoorays, there was a bullhorn in my section that sounded a number of times. Shortly after, two policemen came in search of the person responsible. The person responsible left before the police arrived, so they dispersed as well. Sunday morning, before departing our separate ways, my family sat around the breakfast table discussing how proud my late Aunt Dorothy would be to see her grandson graduating. My older cousin rushed into the kitchen showing a video. “Mom, did you see what happened to Chelsea’s friend,” she began crying. Chelsea, a freshman at McKinney North High School, watched the video of her friend screaming as she was being slammed to the ground by a white male police of-
ficer at a pool party they all were invited to. Chelsea stood there for a moment, traumatized. Today, it’s a blessing to be black and graduate from high school. Today, it’s a blessing to be black and alive. So, pardon me if I get a little rowdy at my little cousin’s graduation. We are living in a world where young black men are dying every day and worldly influences want to convince him that he doesn’t need an education. For that reason, graduation was more than a ceremony of passage; it was a celebration of completion for him and my family. If it had not been for his praying mother, loving siblings and supportive family, he wouldn’t have made it.

Customer service is what I have learned most.” This is the last class Garner will take at Ole Miss before she graduates. “I plan to move to Colorado,” Garner said. “I want to run a hotel’s restaurant or something of that sort, so this class teaches me everything I would need to know when I leave Ole Miss.” Each week Lenoir Dining has themed restaurant expe-
riences, which vary from BBQ or picnic to beach themed. These themes are incorporated into every aspect of the decorations, menu and overall presentation for that week. “This program abbreviates a snapshot of how a restaurant works,” said Pace. “The skills being taught to these students are not just about cooking, they are about getting handson with the overall experience.”

Between the sweltering heat and summer classes, something else is bugging students this summer. “This is the year they are all coming out,” biology professor and chair Paul Lago said in regards to the periodical cicadas. Lago said that this is the year the 13-year locusts, known as the periodical cicadas, are emerging. The few cicadas we see each summer are the annual cicadas, which emerge very two to three years. Many people confuse the sounds of the cicadas for electrical work or even construction because of how many cicadas are present right now,
Lago said. “I mean, millions may be an underestimate,” Lago said. Lago said this year is particularly fascinating because these locusts is a unique brood. Currently, another brood of cicadas has started to emerge that is solid black, while the ones that have been out are orange underneath, he said. “The thing is, you see them every year because they are not synchronized,” Lago said. “The 13-year is almost totally synchronized.” Every cicada that is heard is a male cicada looking for a mate, preparing to reproduce. “This is the time they are out,” Lago said. “The males are out singing like crazy, they are attracting females and
they reproduce.” Cicadas connect to tree roots underground and feed off of the sap, growing very slowly for 13 years. The cicadas do not damage the environment, but the magnitude of the insects could bring some negative effects, Lago said. “That’s the only damage that the cicadas do, is slitting open that tree bark. That makes the tree susceptible to disease,” Lago said. “If you’re a tree and there are thousands and thousands of these things, they can do some damage that way.” Lago said by the third week in June we should starting hearing less of the cicadas because their life span is only a few weeks long once they emerge.

Summer beach reads The heat of summer often brings a change in the pace of life. For the most part, our lives slow down a little - even if just for the week or so that we get to take a vacation. And what does everyone see themselves doing with this spare time? Reading a book, of course. Wherever you may be—the beach, the city, or a small town in Mississippi—you need a good book for summer days like these. Here are a few suggestions for Summer 2015:
Peter Nichols The Rocks This novel starts out with as a mystery, where some unknown event drives apart two honeymooners in the summer of 1948, and then moves forward in time. Detailing the love lives of three generations, this book is the perfect summer read, balancing the romance and the gorgeous Mediterranean backdrop with real substance and smarts. Think of The Rocks as a beach read that you don’t have to call a “guilty pleasure.”
Judy Blume In the Unlikely Event Blume, the author of many beloved books for children and adults, was thought to be finished writing until this novel was announced. Set in the 1950s, this novel explores a tragic period for a small New Jersey town where three commercial airplanes crash in the space of about 60 days. Instead of solely focusing on the story of this tragic event, Blume pulls the reader in with a human exploration of the ways these events affect generations and families, making it a mustread.
Vendela VidaThe Diver’s Clothes Lie Empty
In Vida’s newest novel, a woman traveling to Casablanca, Morocco for mysterious reasons is robbed almost as soon as she arrives in the country. Left with no possessions and no identification, she is asked by a producer to be a body-double for a celebrity filming in the city—and accepts. The premise sounds superficial, but The Diver’s Clothes Lie Empty is a thoughtful examination of what freedom and identity really mean.
Staff Positions Available for the 2015-16 Academic Year Reporters: create weekly news packages and interviews for radio broadcast Marketing Director: handle promotional events & contests, record commercials, maintain social media, arrange artist interviews
Milan Kundera The Festival of Insignificance Kundera, the world-famous author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, shocked the literary world when he announced The Festival of Insignificance. Set in Paris, this short novel is at once playful and powerful as it examines the interactions and conversations between four friends. Many are calling this novel the “fitting bookend” to Kundera’s career; if that’s the case, then it is a book you can’t afford to miss.
Harper Lee Go Set a Watchman
Saving the most anticipated book for last, Go Set a Watchman is arguably the most anticipated book of the last American decade. Lee thought that Go Set A Watchman, written in the mid-50’s, had been lost, but decided to publish after the manuscript was discovered late last year. Written before To Kill A Mockingbird, the Pulitzer-Prize winning book that has become a classic, Go Set a Watchman involves many of the same, beloved characters, but is set 20 years later. The book will be available for purchase by the public on July 14.

Football position preview: running backs
CODY THOMASON
csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
It’s tough to know exactly what the running back position will look like for Ole Miss this year. The Rebels backfield is dealing with two early departures as well as some new runners entering the fray. I’Tavius Mathers, who carried the ball 67 times for 290 yards and three touchdowns, announced after the season that he was transferring to Middle Tennessee State University for his senior season. Running back Mark Dodson, who rushed for 249 yards and 4 touchdowns on 36 carries, also announced he was transferring to the University of Memphis, where he will have two years of eligibility left. This leaves a lot of uncertainty in the Rebels’ backfield, but one thing that’s certain is that the lead back will be senior Jaylen Walton. Walton rushed for over 500 yards for the second year in a row, finishing his junior season with 106 carries for 586 yards and five touchdowns Jordan Wilkins runs for a touchdown in a game last season. on the ground, along with 19 receptions for 206 yards and much bigger role in the of- out of the backfield and help two touchdowns.

Scholtz was an All-American each of his three previous years at Ole Miss, making him the very first four-time All-American in Ole Miss program history.

five wins against players ranked in the final top 20 in his historic season. Scholtz finished with a 16-6 record and was All-SEC first team all four years at Ole Miss, another program first. Meanwhile, for the women’s team, Julia Jones finished her outstanding season at no. 12 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Singles Rankings and won the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s National Most improved Player Award. Her excellent senior season in which she went 30-11 and 1810 in nationally ranked matches also netted her All-American honors, as well as All-SEC honors for the third time in her career. Jones notched 103 total wins in her career. Overall, the women’s tennis team finished 16-11 with a ranking of No. 24 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Team Rankings. As for the men, they finished 18-9 and No. 17 in the Intercollegiate
Tennis Association team rankings, and received their 22nd consecutive NCAA tournament appearance. It was Toby Hansson’s first year taking over for legendary coach Billy Chadwick as the head coach for the program, and Hansson was able to finish with 8-4 record in the SEC. Ole Miss was one of just 15 schools in the country to have both its men’s and women’s teams ranked in the top 25 at the end of the year. There is plenty of hope for the future of the teams since both the men’s and women’s squads return starters. The men’s team returns rising senior Stefan Lindmark, who went 8-0 in the SEC in route to earning All-SEC first team honors and becoming the fifth player in Ole Miss history to go undefeated in the SEC. Lindmark, who is originally from Stockholm, Sweden, defeated four nationally ranked players and finished the season ranked
No. 86 in the nation in singles. The team also returns Gustav Hansson, who was named to the SEC All-Freshman team and All-SEC second team in his stellar first year in the program. For the women’s team, Ole Miss returns stellar freshman Arianne Hartono, who was named to the SEC All-Freshman team despite missing her last five SEC games due to injury. Hartono went 18-9 overall, 5-3 in the SEC and defeated three nationally ranked players during the season, finishing the season ranked No. 82 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Singles Ranking. Mai El Kamash is also set to return for the Rebels, after having a 24-15 overall record her junior season, which was good for the second most wins on the team. Mai El Kamash should provide some senior leadership to the team next season after being a steady contributor in each of her three previous years.
