New airline arrives to Oxford-University Airport

BY NICK ANDREWS nandrew@go.olemiss.edu

Southern Airways Express announced at a press conference Wednesday that air service will be available to and from Oxford-University Airport beginning June 20.

Scores of people from the Oxford, Ole Miss and press communities gathered at Oxford-University Airport for the announcement from Southern Airways Express. The airliner encouraged all in attendance to tour and view the newly renovated aircraft.

The planes seat nine comfortably, and the airline provides passengers with iPads and Bose headphones during flights.

Chairman and CEO for Southern Airways Express Stan Little made the formal announcement.

Mississippi Commemorates Evers’ civil rights work JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Civil rights leader Medgar Evers helped create a more inclusive and open Mississippi by increasing black voter registration, Gov. Phil Bryant said Wednesday during a service marking the 50th anniversary of Evers’ assassination.

A racially diverse crowd of more than 150 people gathered outside the Mississippi Museum of Art in downtown Jackson for speeches, gospel singing and the ringing of bells to remember the NAACP leader who was killed outside his home just after midnight on June 12, 1963. Evers was 37.

The University of Mississippi has approved and will begin implementing a threeyear, three-phase renovation to parking guidelines and infrastructure.

Phase I, which goes into effect on July 1, will mean the introduction of some very interesting changes in transportation formalities.

Isaac Astill, the director of parking and transportation, said the ultimate goal of the project by Phase III’s end is to “accomplish and have constructed a holistic transportation system and hub.”

According to the university’s parking and transportation website, the most notable change for 2013-14 academic year will be the introduction of hang tags instead of decals. Faculty, staff

and students must register and purchase their hang tag through the department’s online portal, and it will be mailed to the individual’s permanent address. The Office of Transportation and Parking itself will not be available for faculty, staff and student parking permit purchases after June 30.

Additionally, hang tags will be “mobile” in the sense that they can be moved from one car to another. Instead of being registered to vehicles as the decals were, the hang tags are registered to the individual. The person to whom the hang tag is registered will be responsible for any citations that are accumulated under its registration regardless of the ownership of the vehicle.

Phase I will also be the beginning of a hang tag price increase for everyone. Start-

ing July 1, commuters will pay $95 for their hang tag, and the Parking and Transportation Office claims this is “still among the lowest rates in the Southeastern Conference.” The fee will increase by ten dollars every fall for the next three years finally topping out in

Phase III at $115.

Caroline Taylor Godwin, a senior theatre major, said the hang tag approach does sound like a positive move even though it’s pricey.

BY TRENTON WINFORD tgwinford@bellsouth.net

Isn’t it great when a politician makes some sort of gaffe and the public gets all worked up over it? Who doesn’t like when the media takes some words out of context, turns them on their head and then repeats them over and over until people are outraged and someone’s credibility is hurt?

In a Washington Post Live event about education and reform last week, Governor Phil Bryant discussed some steps that Mississippi was taking to improve the state’s education system as well as issues surrounding the nation’s education as a whole.

After talking about many issues, causes and symptoms, the moderator asked Bryant why the nation’s system was so mediocre. Bryant responded by saying that it started when “both parents started working, and the mom is in the workplace.” This raised the ire of many in the media, including many who admitted that they actually had not heard Bryant, only took the quote from another source and ran with it.

Almost every article about the supposed gaffe failed to include the next sentence from Bryant’s mouth: “That’s not a bad thing.”

So, what is Bryant saying?

Essentially, Bryant is saying that women in the workplace, which has many great benefits, has played a role in the decline of education.

Not because of anything that women have or have not done.

Studies show that one of

the most telling demographics for student success is parental involvement in education, more than IQ, race, or income level (though some are similar). Students with parents that are more involved in their child’s education have higher educational outcomes. Examples of such involvement include PTA meetings, calling out vocabulary, and keeping track of grades.

Other studies show that a parent’s involvement decreases significantly when he or she has a full-time job.

Additionally, people are bringing their work home more and more. The average working adult spends an extra hour-and-a-half nightly working at home.

That means that is an extra hour-and-a-half nightly that parents are not involved in their child’s education.

Obviously, these are generalizations. Also, Bryant did not get his point across

in the best (or even really a good) way. However, the truths are still there.

Now, Bryant is not saying that working women are responsible for the decline in education. Nor is he saying that women should stop working. However, that is exactly what the majority of the media and public seem to have heard.

So, of course the people that read the quote took the time to check the real context and garner the point that Bryant was trying to make, right? Well that was not the way it turned out.

I encourage you to look at the context of what someone says next time such a situation comes up, and make sure you have understood the meaning before criticizing the speaker.

What to do about the conflict in Syria

BY TRAVIS OFFIELD tjoffiel@go.olemiss.edu

Civil war has now raged on in Syria for over two years, and it has become a forgone conclusion that more direct efforts by the western powers will be needed for damage control in the region.

Hopes of guiding this horrific scene to a peaceful state with diplomatic resolve are more or less hopeless, leaving the United States and other key western nations to ponder riskier ideas for a more direct intervention against the Syrian government.

The government, led by President Bashar al-Assad and his military regime, has been pounding outmatched rebel fighters with air strikes, often times massacring large numbers of innocent civilians in the process. So, one idea is to enforce a no-fly zone over Syrian air space.

The obstacle to this plan is

that it would likely need to pass as a resolution in the United Nations Security Council, which is complicated by the fact that Russia is doing Russia and won’t play nice with anyone in the west. The Kremlin has been incredibly reluctant to impose any actions against the Assad regime, and has in fact even attempted smuggling heavy artillery into the already advantageously armed Syrian military.

Another plan, and perhaps the most likely to be put into action within the coming weeks, would be to arm the government’s opposition with more firepower. However, there is great risk involved with this. One problem with aiding the rebel fighters is that they are highly factionalized groups of militants, including terrorist groups with ties to al-Qaida. These particular groups of jihadists, driven by religious radicalism,

would pose a great threat to the west if they were to gain control over Syria in the event that the Assad regime falls. If the U.S. government elects to send arms to the rebels, which I believe they will do sooner rather than later, it will need to be done under guidelines set by extensive intelligence on the particular factions of this opposition.

It is unclear exactly how and when the U.S. will take more direct action against Assad, but I expect just about any ideas are on the table, short of actually putting troops on the ground.

It is clear, however, that we can no longer sit on the sideline cheering for diplomatic efforts to prevail because this war has far transcended diplomacy.

vehicle to vehicle, I don’t think the $95 is worth it,” Godwin said. “It does sound convenient.

I definitely have friends who could benefit from using mine or their friend’s because they surely are not going to want to pay $95.”

Lawrence Burnett, a sophomore economics major, understands the reasoning behind the tiered increase.

“I’ve learned from my economics classes that if you want to fix a problem then you have to raise the price,” Burnett said. “And campus parking has always been a problem.”

With regard to the noticeable increase in commuter traffic this year and the concern of already inadequate commuter parking, Astill says there will be plenty of spaces ready for the fall semester.

“We are actually adding an entirely new parking lot for commuters which will be ready by the beginning of the upcoming fall semester,” Astill said. “Many commuter lots were being utilized by construction crews this past school year.”

Hang tags for residential students will cost $115 in the fall of 2013 and will increase to $135 by the fall of 2015.

Regular faculty and staff hang tags will retail for $120 with $15 increases each fall until 2015. Faculty and staff also have the option of purchasing a reserved parking space hang tag for $600, which will be on a first come, first serve basis. This fee will see a one-hundred dollar increase each year until the fall of 2015 when it tops out at $800 for Phase III. Eligible faculty and staff members can apply for pre-tax deductions of permit fees.

Visitors to the Ole Miss campus will be required as

of July 1 to purchase a $1 a day hang tag, restricted to designated visitor only parking spaces. The visitor hang tags must be purchased at the Parking and Transportation Office in Lester Hall. Retired faculty and staff can buy a yearly hang tag online or use the new visitor parking system at a $1 a day rate.

For those who utilize the Oxford University Transit system (O.U.T.), the shuttles will operate an extra two hours a day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. The extended hours are at the behest of what the department calls a “significant increase in monthly riders for the past fall and spring semesters.”

Although he did not directly answer the question of the possibility of increased ticket fines and citation costs, Mr. Astill says there will be additional indicators throughout campus to help clarify the parking areas.

“Additional signs and roadway lines are already being constructed so there is no question as to who can utilize the parking space.”

able to fly out of here for cheaper than it would be for you to drive to Memphis and park, much less buy an airline ticket,” Little said. “Virtually any day of the week you’re going to have a flight from Oxford into Destin or Panama City Beach.”

According to a press release passengers will not be charged with baggage or parking fees.

Year-round destinations include Destin, Fla., and New Orleans. Panama City begins as a seasonal destination. Other possible future destinations to and from Oxford mentioned include Nashville, Jackson, Gulfport and Atlanta.

According to Little, football weekends should see near-constant traffic.

“We will be flying routes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of every home football weekend from New Orleans, Gulfport and Destin,” Little said.

“We are promoting Oxford as a tourism destination,” Keith Sisson, chief operating officer for Southern Airways Express.

“It is very important for us to be the transportation provider to a great tourist destination like this (Oxford).”

Little says no seat to or from Oxford will ever be more than $249.

Oxford will also have the only red-eye flight in the Southern Airways Express network.

The flight leaves Oxford late Sunday night and arrives in the

early morning hours in Destin.

Southern Airways Express refers to the fare options for that flight as the “Archie Manning Special” which will cost $18 and the “Chucky Mullins” which will cost $38 in tribute to the former Ole Miss Rebels football players.

Little said costumer service, quality flights and reasonable fares are what Southern Airways Express plans to bring to Oxford.

“We want to make the trip on the airplane part of the vacation and not just an inconvenience to get you to the vacation,” Little said.

Memphis mayor brings youth together to curb gun violence

BY TAYLOR BRIANNA KAMNETZ tkamnetz@go.olemiss.edu

The city of Memphis is nationally known as a city plagued by violence.

From physical brawls to arson, there is rarely a dull day for city police and members of the community. Among the various crimes committed in city limits lies a world of violence the entire country knows all too well: gun violence.

In 2010, there were more than 50,000 crime-related incidents, with 10,384 being of a violent nature. Studies found that the violent crime rate in Memphis was 151.34 percent higher than that of the entire state of Tennessee.

Mayor of Memphis A.C. Wharton is aware of the statistics for the city he represents and has created a campaign to help curb the violence in the city by targeting those who can start a movement of change: the youth.

Memphis Gun Down, founded in February, is Wharton’s initiative to curb the gun violence in Memphis. In light of the heightened gun violence in the city, Wharton has banded together a group of five teenagers led by those who have been affected both directly and indirectly by gun violence.

This group of teenagers comprises the Social Media Team for Memphis Gun Down. Their duty is to actively seek the problems in their communities that lead to gun violence and encourage positive changes in various aspects of community life.

The goal is simple, yet it

has been one that many have tried and failed to communicate in the past. Their main targets are males from the ages of 14-21, and the group says their approach will ensure greater results because it is one that hasn’t been tried before.

“This campaign is different because it’s actually youth reaching youth instead of adults reaching out to youth,” Matthieu, a member of the social media team, said. “That has been seen many times before, but it hasn’t been proven effective because not many young adults feel comfortable talking to elders or authority figures.”

The social media team intends to target South Memphis and Frayser directly, but the entire city of Memphis is in focus. Their hope is to make the city safer not only for them but generations to come.

The fight for understanding the causes of gun violence has been debated for years and has been heightened since President Obama’s re-election in January. Efforts have been made to pass stricter gun laws, though the first attempts were voted down in Congress on April 17.

In Tennessee, those who own firearms are allowed to apply for a handgun carry permit, but are held accountable for their actions and responsible for their knowledge of the laws. The government website for the state of Tennessee states “a permit to carry a handgun is not a license to use deadly force.”

The right to bear arms comes with responsibilities to store

and maintain these weapons safely, and to obey applicable laws.

In many states across the country, it is required the weapon be concealed. However, this is not the case in Tennessee. The law does not require concealment of handguns by those with a permit. Because no permit or licensing is required to buy a shotgun, rifle or handgun in Tennessee, such weapons are easy to obtain.

Studies have shown that states with strict gun control laws have lower numbers of gun-related deaths. While states such as California, Colorado and Connecticut look to intensify their already strict gun laws, Tennessee legislators have successfully pushed House Bill

118, a bill that allows gunowners to carry weapons in their car wherever they go.

This would include school and workplace parking lots.

While Bill 118 was passed, Tennessee Senators voted against a bill on April 17 that would have expanded background checks of those looking to buy guns, something Kayla Illich, a member of the Memphis community, believes would have helped curb the gun violence in the city.

“Guns are too easily accessible to the wrong people, especially in the city limits,” Illich said. “Turning down a piece of legislation that could’ve kept weapons out of the wrong hands is absurd and makes me question whether members of

this state’s government even know of the realities of gun violence in this city.”

Illich, who has lived in Memphis since getting assigned to Coast Guard duties in the city, has found that things she once loved in Memphis have changed due to the gun violence. To her, it’s less about feeling safe and more about the experience of her go-to places being changed.

Though the area she lives is known to be one of the safer neighborhoods in the city limits, places around downtown such as the acclaimed Beale Street and surrounding blocks have seen drastic changes in the eyes of Illich.

“Even for those of us who live here, Beale and Main Street are usual hang outs,” Illich said. “It’s just devastating to have it be taken over at certain times of the day and year by the fear of getting shot.”

Last year, there were multiple incidents involving Memphis Police Officers on Beale Street that caused Wharton to make a crucial decision.

After four officers were injured on Saturday, June 9, 2012, trying to clear the streets and the police gunned down a man on Beale Street on June 12, 2012, Wharton said the city would establish a police substation in the entertainment district of Memphis to promote safety.

With Wharton having taken action against crime prior to the nationwide discussion over heightened gun controls, the idea that Memphis along with the state of Tennessee would tag along and adopt stricter gun laws was what Illich had expected.

However, this was not the case.

reducing gun violence in the city, his methods are not by means of increased law.

Instead of looking to lawmakers to strike a change in Memphis communities, Wharton plans to go directly into those communities and solve these problems on a person-to-person basis. He spoke further of his plans to ensure a change in communities at a town hall-type meeting on the University of Memphis campus on Tuesday, April 23.

“If you begin just taking one person at a time, you get success by success by success,” Wharton said. “It is so easy to get guns in Memphis, so we are focusing on that.”

It would seem easy for Wharton and the social media team behind Memphis Gun Down to target the Memphis community and ask for their support in stricter laws. However, they

found the problem was more related to education.

As a part of Michael Bloomberg’s foundation to reduce handgun violence, Memphis had been selected in 2011 as one of the few cities to receive a $4.8 million grant.

This money funds salaries for staff members and provides support throughout the project’s duration. The Mayors Project, a new innovation program at Bloomberg Philanthropies, will work simultaneously with Wharton and his Innovation Delivery Team to educate youth, provide jobs where needed and bring vacant properties in abandoned areas of the city back to life and prosperity once again.

“Most places in the community are afraid of teens,” said Jada, a member of the Social Media Team. “Our goal is to inform teens and the population of upcoming events and job opportunities, because in essence a main cause for crime in Memphis is not having enough to do.”

EVERS, continued from page 1 Evers-Williams, just before going on stage to speak. Bryant said Evers “paid the ultimate sacrifice” in challenging segregation.

“The young people that I met, who were here reading today, live in a vastly different Mississippi than existed 50 years ago because of the hard work of men like Medgar Evers and women like Myrlie Evers,” said Bryant, 58. “So, as we ring the bell today, we pay homage to them.”

Evers, a World War II veteran from Newton, Miss., was hired in 1954 as the state’s first field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In addition to working for black voter registration, he led a boycott of downtown Jackson’s white-owned businesses, where black customers received shoddy service and few black clerks were hired.

Evers also investigated violence against AfricanAmericans, including the 1955 killing of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old from Chicago who was said to have whistled at a white woman working in a grocery store in rural Money, Miss. Till was kidnapped from his uncle’s home near Money and was beaten beyond recognition and shot in the head.

His body was weighted down with a fan from a cotton gin and dumped into the Tallahatchie River.

Till’s mother allowed photos of his brutalized body to be published in Jet magazine, and the images galvanized the civil rights movement.

Till’s cousins and was in the home the night Till was taken.

Wright said during the memorial service Wednesday that Evers was “a light in a dark place” during the investigation of the slaying — a crime for which two white men, J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, were tried and acquitted by an allwhite jury.

Wright said Evers taught him how to give a sworn statement to investigators.

“He said, ‘Whatever you do, tell the truth. Tell the truth,’” Wright said.

During the service Wednesday, four young adults read several quotes from religious leaders and civil-rights activists, including this 1961 statement from Evers, which was printed on a banner with a black-and-white photo of him: “Let me of good will and understanding change the old order, for this is a new day.”

In 1967, Democrat Robert Clark of Ebenezer became the first black Mississippian since Reconstruction to win a seat in the state House of Representatives. Clark, who knew Evers, served 36 years. By the

time he retired, black representation in the state House and Senate was almost equal to Mississippi’s 38 percent black population — a change that was largely made possible by two federal laws, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

“I did not take a single vote during those 36 years that Medgar would not have taken himself,” Clark said.

Hollis Watkins, 71, of Jackson, was a teenager when he became involved in civil rights work and met Evers, who was 15 years older. He said Evers was not afraid to speak truth to power.

“Medgar did his job,” Watkins said. “The question becomes: How about us today?

Are we doing our work?”

A white segregationist, Byron De La Beckwith, was tried twice for Evers’ slaying in the 1960s, but all-white juries deadlocked without convicting or acquitting him. After a reopened investigation, Beckwith was convicted of murder in 1994 and sentenced to life in prison. He was 80 when he died in custody in 2001.

William Faulkner treasures auctioned in New York by family

BY SARA ELIZABETH BAKERF sebaker@go.olemiss.edu

Possessions and works of the great Mississippi author, William Faulkner, were auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York this past Tuesday, June 11, with unusual results.

According to Yahoo!

News, the response to the auction was underwhelming. Several of the most important pieces, including the family letters and a newfound short story, had no buyers. Only 24 of 39 auction lots were sold during the Faulkner auction.

The auction was expected to make an estimated $2 million, with the proceeds going to Faulkner’s family, and there is a second event planned for London.

The Mississippi author wrote famed novels such as “The Sound and the Fury” and “As I Lay Dying.” His contributions to the world of literature have helped to make Oxford famous.

Faulkner was a member of the Oxford community. His childhood and adult years were spent in Oxford and

Because of Faulkner’s connection to Oxford and Ole Miss, the university has been able to protect some of his treasures. Two of the items in the auction were Faulkner’s Nobel Prize for Literature and the Ordre National de la Legion d’Honneur, and their certificates, which have been housed at the university, in the Special Collections of the J.D. Williams Library, for around 60 years.

Faulkner’s descendants, the Summers, requested that the awards be returned for the New York auction.

“I feel privileged to have been able to work around the awards for so many years, and am very grateful to the Summers family for their allowing our university the opportunity,” said Jennifer Ford, head of Archives and Special Collections and

The Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Faulkner in 1949, after the success of his fictional works concerning the history and lifestyle of the South, including “Absalom, Absalom!” and “Intruder in the Dust.” Both of these books discussed the moral issues of racism and equality. The Ordre National de la Legion

The university has hopes that the next owner of the awards will renew the loan to the J.D. Williams Library in order to continue the decades-long legacy of Faulkner and Ole Miss.

The auction also included several of Faulkner’s original letters and manuscripts, both new and old. Some of these letters are correspondence from Faulkner to his mother during his time in France and include drawings done by Faulkner himself.

Faulkner and his works are still loved in Oxford. Oxford residents and educators will forever see Faulkner as a treasured and beloved figure of the community.

“We are proud of the Faulkner collections we do have in Special Collections, and Faulkner is as important to the university now as he has always been,” Ford said.

“We have scholars from all over the world come to visit our Faulkner collections.”

A learning experience for both freshmen and upperclassmen

BY CASEY HOLLIDAY cahollid@go.olemiss.edu

After spending the past two summers working with incoming high school freshmen, I upgraded to incoming college freshmen for my final summer of college.

Although barely halfway through the first session, the freshmen I am in charge of have already taught me many things (most notably that my high school career was outrageously tame).

Above all else, though, they have made me realize why upperclassmen typically avoid freshmen.

For incoming freshmen, I have some advice on how to avoid coming across as freshmen to all of us wiser and more knowledgeable upperclassmen: •Keep your PDA to a minimum. A kiss or holding hands is fine, but when you’re making out is becoming the main attraction at Rooster’s, you might have a problem.

•Don’t try too hard to fit in. When you’re changing yourself to make those around you like you, it’s very obvious and notice-

able.

•High school is the past — keep it that way. No one cares how cool you were in high school or about the mistakes you made.

•Being away from your parents for the first time is a great feeling, but don’t go crazy. Know your limits; if you’re always the first one passed out at a party, you aren’t going to be invited back.

At the same time, though, all of these things are only learned through experience.

All of us, no matter our age or how little we care to admit it, are guilty of committing these at one point or another.

We talk about freshmen like they are some sort of disease, always forgetting that we were freshmen once too. As much as we may try to ignore it, we are not so different from them.

Remember the next time you’re telling someone, “She’s acting like such a freshmen,” that you were doing the exact same things once. For many students, this is the first time they are on their own and indepen-

dent.

Instead of making fun of them, help them out. We’ve all been lost on the first day of classes, including the always embarrassing moment of realizing that you’re sitting in the wrong class.

Freshmen year is scary.

New friends, new classes, being independent—it’s all a bit overwhelming. It will

mean more than you know to someone if you just try to be a friend.

Having someone to show them around a new town or to meet people can mean a lot to someone who may be struggling being away from home for the first time. Just being a friend can mean more than you will ever know to that person.

A friend asked me recently if I have been hanging out with anyone other than freshmen this summer.

With a few exceptions, the answer is pretty much “no.”

But if hanging out with only freshmen will continue to have the influence in their lives that I have already seen, then it is something I’m proud of.

against Kennesaw State and Georgia Southern. Ole Miss will close out the tournament Sept. 7 against Arkansas State.

“Playing two tournaments at the Gillom Center gives us an opportunity to play in front of our fans a little bit more,” Getzin said. “The SEC cut down its schedule, so it opened up a weekend for us. We’re always excited to be playing at home in front of our fans.”

The following weekend, Ole Miss will play in its largest tournament of the season, the TCU Tournament, where it will play a pair of doubleheaders Sept.

13 and Sept. 14. Ole Miss will open the tournament Sept. 13 in Fort Worth, Texas, against Grambling State and Stephen F. Austin. The Rebels will then face Houston on Sept. 14, followed by their final match of the tournament against tournament host TCU. Ole Miss closes out the nonconference portion of its schedule Sept. 20 and Sept.

21 with the Rebel Classic, where it will play host to Southern Miss, Chattanooga and Louisiana. After facing Southern Miss on Sept. 20, Ole Miss will play a doubleheader Sept. 21 against Chattanooga and Louisiana.

“There will be a mixture of teams that play different styles at our two home tournaments,” Getzin said.

“That prepares us more for the SEC, and with us being a young team to start, that will be a good schedule for them. In our preseason, we should be able to compete with everyone on our schedule. That’s what I’m looking for to get out of the gate.”

The Rebels will open SEC action with a pair of home matches against Arkansas on Friday, Sept. 27, and the defending conference champion Florida Gators on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Ole Miss’ first road weekend of the SEC season will

come the next week when it heads north to Lexington, Ky., to face Kentucky on Oct. 4, followed by a road match at Georgia on Oct. 6.

Ole Miss will split a weekend on the road and at home the following week when it travels to LSU (Oct. 11), followed by a home match against Auburn (Oct. 13).

The Rebels will stay in Oxford for another home weekend Oct. 18 and Oct. 20 against Tennessee and South Carolina, respectively, before getting a week off from matches.

Following its off-week, Ole Miss will play four straight matches on the road, beginning with matches at Missouri (Nov. 1) and Arkansas (Nov. 3).

Ole Miss will face Mississippi State in a midweek match on Wednesday, Nov. 6, in Starkville, followed by another road match Friday, Nov. 8 at Tennessee. The Rebels will close out the week with a home match against Texas A&M, the 2012 SEC Western Division Champions, on Nov. 10.

“There are things you can control and there are things you can’t control,” Getzin said. “The SEC schedule is a difficult schedule — it always is — but it’s not something we can control. We will do everything we can to take care of our business. Like any other schedule, you have to win at home and try to get some wins on the road where it’s much tougher in the SEC to win. Our team is a group that’s up to it and we’re looking forward to those challenges.”

Ole Miss will complete its season series against Georgia and Kentucky on Nov. 15 and Nov. 17, respectively, before playing its final two road matches of the regular season against Alabama and Auburn on Nov. 22 and Nov. 24.

The final match of the regular season will be Wednesday, Nov. 27, against LSU at 7 p.m. CT where the Rebels will honor their two seniors, Kellie Goss and Kara Morgan.

BY DAVID COLLIER dlcollie@go.olemiss.edu

Football has been and will always be the king of collegiate athletics, and that past few years has seen football recruiting skyrocket in popularity. However, the true fascination of recruiting has to go to college baseball.

With football and basketball recruiting, there are certainly dramatic storylines all the way until signing day, as competing schools go headto-head to land the signature of the top players in the country, but with baseball, a different variable comes into play: the Major League Baseball draft.

Most top college baseball recruits aren’t just getting calls from schools all around the country, they are also getting calls from major league scouts to talk about the possibility of turning pro right out of high school and foregoing their college years.

So when a college coach is looking to turn his program into one of the nation’s elite, how does he do it? Does he recruit the best players regardless of the possibility of

alty they will suffer from their signing class. Both shortstop Dalton Dulin (36th round

by Philadelphia Phillies) and outfielder J.B. Woodman (40th round by New York Mets) were drafted, but both should make it to Oxford, barring an unexpected turn of events.

So this year, the Rebels avoided trouble for the most part from the draft, but what is the plan going forward?

I don’t think anyone has a strategy that is sure to get the best on-the-field results, but with Bianco’s back against the wall, he could use a little luck on his side.

them signing a professional contract or do they go for the second-tier players that are sure to make it to campus, but may not be enough to get the team to a championship caliber level?

It’s a tough choice and one that college coaches have to make every year.

Under the direction of head coach Mike Bianco, Ole Miss has seen all kinds of different strategies. Sometimes gambling with a top prospect pays off, but sometimes it can turn an elite recruiting class into one that is average at best.

For instance, in last year’s MLB Draft, the Rebels had three of their signees drafted in the first round. As expected, none of those players made it to Oxford. Sometimes the risk is worth the reward, but when it doesn’t pay off, you better have a backup plan.

Other times, you sign a guy that you think will be a big part of your season next year, but that season between him signing and the MLB draft, his stock suddenly rises, and he’s gone before you know it. This year, that guy for Ole Miss was left-handed pitcher Cody Reed, who signed with the Kansas City Royals Tuesday after being picked in the second round of last week’s draft.

That’s the constant battle college coaches are dealing with, and that’s what makes college baseball recruiting more fascinating than football.

Luckily for Ole Miss, Reed appears to be the only casu-

FOUR DOWNS The Daily Mississippian’s David Collier, Tyler Bischoff and John Luke McCord are back again for another session of Four Downs.

1. With Mayers, Wahl, and Turner getting drafted and still having a year of eligibility left, do you see any of them potentially returning for their senior season?

David Collier (@DavidLCollier): The only one they have a shot at is Bobby Wahl. Both Mike Mayers and Stuart Turner went too high in the draft for them to turn it down. However, Wahl’s unexpected slide down the board could get him back to Oxford. If he returned, he would use his leverage in negotiations, but another 10 win season in the SEC could prove to scouts that he deserves to be taken in the first couple of rounds.

Tyler Bischoff (@Tyler_RSR): The big question mark is Bobby Wahl.

By falling to the 5th round, Wahl lost over a million dollars in expected signing bonus. This makes his decision to return much more likely than originally anticipated.

If I were in Wahl’s position, I would go pro. Getting to the top level of professional baseball is a long process and coming back would prohibit that process by a year.

John Luke McCord (@ JLgrindin): Mayers and Turner are definitely gone.

Nothing left for them to come back and prove. As for Wahl, it could get interesting. He slipped to the fifth round and that was much lower than he was projected. Some feel it is because he projects as a closer, and if that is so, he should not come back because he will be drafted about the same next year as well, if he feels that he could improve his stock as a starter or just wants to finish his college experience he could very well come back. He has a decision to make, but I would be shocked if he does come back.

2. After having Sam Kendricks named a national champion in track and field, non“Big 3” sports got some

recognition at Ole Miss.

What do you think will help smaller sports gain more attention?

Collier: More championships. Unfortunately for the smaller sports, the only way to get attention is to continue to win. Head coach Billy Chadwick’s success running the men’s tennis team has certainly made them the most popular smaller sport on campus.

Bischoff: Winning. Fans do not care about the small sports unless they are winning. It was cool to get a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo day at a softball game in 2012, but promotions won’t keep fans interested. Winning does. If a smaller sport isn’t successful, most fans treat it as if it doesn’t exist.

McCord: Really, as strange as it sounds, the “Big 3” have to continue the momentum they have in keeping the Ole Miss brand in the public eye and the non”Big 3” need to keep winning and it will allow people to see all the successful parts of the Ole Miss athletics department.

3. The Ole Miss football team has been given quite a bit of attention this offseason and is projected to have another decent year. Although it is very early, where do you see the Rebels finishing?

Collier: There’s obviously a lot of factors that will go into their success this season. Will Bo Wallace be 100 percent when the season begins? Can Nick Brassell get eligible? How much will the freshmen contribute?

We won’t know for sure, but right now, I see Ole Miss winning against Vanderbilt, Southeast Missouri, Idaho, Arkansas, Troy, Missouri and Mississippi State with a chance against Texas and Auburn on the road and Texas A&M and LSU at home. Right now, I’ll predict an 8-4 record.

Bischoff: Hugh Freeze has said himself that next year’s team could be a better team but have a worse record than the 2012 squad.

He is spot on. Ole Miss pulled in a top 10 recruiting class but so did a handful of other SEC schools. Ole

the DM is recruiting

news writers

Miss will not have a mega increase in wins as some fans suspect. They will finish around the .500 mark as they did last year.

McCord: I feel like Ole Miss will finish anywhere from third to sixth in the SEC West. I feel like this could be a six- to eight-win team, and if it is around last year’s win total, then people should not be discouraged.

The SEC West will be even tougher this year than last year. Texas A&M will be a national championship contender, Alabama is the favorite to win the national championship, LSU is beatable for Ole Miss but still a very, very talented team, and then teams like Auburn and Arkansas will be improved and Mississippi State will be as good as they were last year.

So seven wins again in 2013 would really be an improvement from last season.

4. What sport do you think the Ole Miss fan base will be most excited for next season?

Marshall Henderson leading the charge, but Hugh Freeze has put Ole Miss football in the national spotlight. A top five recruiting class, strong finish to 2012 and a pace to sellout season tickets make football the obvious choice.

Bischoff: Football. It will always be football. Baseball and basketball could win national championships, but football would still reign supreme in Oxford. With Hugh Freeze and Ross Bjork running the show, Ole Miss fans have let their expectations for next year’s football team run rampant. Finally beating Dan Mullen, winning a bowl game and securing a top recruiting class have the fan base ready to blow.

McCord: Basketball will have people’s attention and people will be observing Mike Bianco with lots of interest next year, but clearly football has captured and grabbed the interest of every Rebel fan and the excitement Hugh Freeze has brought feels like it did in the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

The football team will be the team that Rebel fans will be most excited to see.

Collier: It has to be football. Basketball is a close second with the animated

Gillom Enshrined in Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame

Volleyball announces 2013 schedule

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ole Miss added its third member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (WBHOF) Saturday, as Peggie Gillom-Granderson was part of the six-member Hall of Fame class for 2013.

In addition to Gillom, the other members of the 2013 Hall of Fame class were Gary Blair (coach); Jim Foster (coach); Jen Rizzotti (player); Annette SmithKnight (player) and Sue Wicks (player).

Gillom became the second person in her family to enter the Hall of Fame. Her sister Jennifer, who also starred for the Rebels, was inducted in 2009. Jennifer Gillom now works as an assistant coach with the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun, who had a game Friday night, but she made it to Knoxville in time for her sister’s induction.

“She got up so early to be here and her flight was canceled,” Peggie said. “I didn’t think she was going to make it, but thank God, she made
