Football Tim Potts moves into position as police chief player dismissed CLARA TURNAGE
scturna1@go.olemiss.edu
The recently hired University Police Department chief, Tim Potts, began his first week of work on campus Monday. Potts only recently moved to Oxford from a position with the police department
at Perdue University, where he was a captain for 13 years. Potts said several of the positions in which he has previously served readied him to be chief. “I really have a wide breadth of experience,” Potts said. “If you throw all of that together, I think it’s really positioned me to take this step.”
As chief, Potts said he hopes to focus on crime prevention efforts. “I think Ole Miss is always seen as one of the safest campuses, but I think people can get complacent because it’s been so safe,” Potts said. “After events, it’s easy to put stuff out. We want to be on the forefront. We want to try
to take away that opportunity to become a victim.” Part of this effort will resemble a neighborhood watch program, Potts said, which will include students in a “see something, say something” capacity. This initiative would specifically target areas where

The Athletics Deparment announced Wednesday, redshirt freshman Sammie Epps was dismissed from the football program following a “violation of team rules.” Last year, Epps was arrested and charged with driving without a license and marijuana possession inside a motor vehicle, and redshirted the following season. Epps had not played in a game during his Ole Miss career, but was expected to back up tight end Evan Engram this season. Tim Potts was recently named the new chief for the University of Mississippi Police Department.

Campus recreation looks to break world record CLARA TURNAGE
scturna1@go.olemiss.edu
The Campus Recreation department is helping break a Guinness world record tonight. The World’s Largest Swim Lesson is an annual event that includes sites all across the globe contributing to one cause: water safety. Each year, the program breaks its own record and adds new sites for an evening of awareness and swimming lessons. Mark Garneau, assistant director of aquatics at Campus Recreation, said the university was invited to join this year’s World’s Largest Swim Lesson and he jumped at the chance to be a part of it. “I said ‘We have got to get on this,’” Garneau said. “It’s a great activity. Why not?”
Claire Harris, the graduate assistant for the director of aquatics, has been helping prepare for the event ever since. Harris said the community has already shown a great interest in the event, and some of their other swim classes and camps will join. Other groups such as the Boy Scouts and Rebel Quest have also volunteered to attend. This puts the current, tentative tally at around 200 students, Harris said. “The event is not just here,” Harris said. “There are over 550 locations across the world.” The World’s Largest Swim Lesson set its first record in 2010 with 32,450 participants, their website said, but
broke its record again last year with 36,564 people from 22 countries. Harris said part of the lesson will be focused on swimming safety and simple rescue techniques, part on actual swimming lessons and will end with free time. The lesson is geared for anyone 6 months old and up, she said. After the lesson, each site will tally up their attendance and send it in to make the count for the world’s largest swim record. Harris said the real goal, however, was to increase water safety. According to the World’s Largest Swim Lesson website, drowning is the second leading cause of death in children ages 1-14. Garneau said a recent drowning in Hat-
tiesburg, Mississippi, made him aware of just how crucial this training is. Garneau said he hoped this would raise awareness of the availability of swim classes that are available each summer in the Turner Center. The free event will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Turner Center. Anyone who is interested should send and email to swim@olemiss.edu. Bracelets will be given to all participants.

Study abroad programs are, on the surface, a little intimidating. There are a smorgasbord of countries from which to choose, a dizzying number of classes and programs and lists upon lists of necessary forms and deadlines and costs. But, if you can get past the semantics, it’s probably one of the most rewarding experiences college can offer. For many people, a four-year college is the first time you’re living on your own. Even if your parents live in Oxford, you have to take control of your life in some aspect: you’re choosing your own classes, figuring out how to fit lunch into a packed schedule, planning your time so that ten page essay doesn’t sneak up on you. But, in a lot of ways, you still have the parental safety blanket. You can call home when your dishwasher overflows and you don’t know what to do, or your fridge is as empty as your bank account. You have people to fall back on when things get complicated. College is adulthood with training wheels.

So, one of the best advantages a study abroad program has to offer is a trial experience of complete independence. I’m from Jackson. I have my own apartment up here, but I still go home every month or so with a load of laundry in hand and a plea on my lips for my mom to do it, because her washing machine is better, anyway. I’ve been out of the country four times now, and mostly if I want to visit a friend or relative during the summer or over spring break, I book the plane ticket and go. I’m pretty accustomed to the eccentric and frenetic nature of travel on any scale. But before my study abroad experience, I’d never boarded an international flight without a group of people (though I’d caught a lot of domestic flights as a solo flyer). So, that was the first hurdle. There are 15 people on this English adventure, including our instructor. We’ve all talked some—Facebook is a marvelous invention—and, helpfully, two of the women on the trip are in choir with me. Unhelpfully, they haven’t ar-

rived yet, so I stride out of the airport in search of the bus that’s supposed to take us to our final destination. One of the buses parked just outside the terminal is picking up a group of what I can only assume are elderly tourists, so I cross that one off the list. I fall asleep on the bus ride, thank goodness. When my eyes open, I am confronted with the kind of view you think is only found on the pages of travel magazines. Alnwick Castle doesn’t exactly loom above the surrounding town, but it asserts itself on the landscape. It’s impressive, and huge, and really sort of defies description. These days, Alnwick is a bit of a tourism destination; it’s steeped in history as the traditional home of the Duke of Northumberland—the family resides there still, during certain months of the year—and, if that isn’t enough to interest you, it was a filming location for the Harry Potter films. Have I mentioned yet that the castle is to be our home for the next week? Yes, that’s a pretty amazing side

benefit of a study abroad program based on fantasy literature. For two weeks, we explore England—the northern half for the first week, including historic sites such as Hadrian’s Wall and Lindisfarne and picturesque towns like Berwick-upon-Tweed and Bamburgh. That first week we also explore our own literary potential. We write two short stories, each anchored in our own specific brands of fantasy and magic, and workshop them in class. The day trips are exhausting, and you might think writing is a bit of a chore after a day of walking ancient walls and treading cobbled streets. But really, it’s a sort of cathartic end to each day out; we come back to the castle, pull out laptops and tablets and notebooks, and pour the day’s experiences out in words and worlds. Sometimes, the end result is unrecognizable as inspired by our travels; sometimes the locations are brought to typewritten life for us to experience anew. The second week is London. No matter how many times you’ve
opinion been to big cities, you never quite get used to that sudden shock—the people milling about you, cars whipping past without any regard for pedestrians, the sounds of impatient horn honking and people carrying on conversations as they hurry into shops and tube stations. You have to pause, pull your consciousness out of smalltown living and into the city mindset. But, of course, being the determined and slightly reckless 20-somethings we are, all of us strike out to befriend this new city. Over the past week, everyone’s formed groups—middle school teachers may have bemoaned cliques in our youth, but the truth is it’s easier to navigate life with a core group of friends—and we all break off to find ourselves in London. Four of us—Gabbie, Tayler, Sinclair and I call ourselves the Tea Timers—locate the necessities first. And if the first week was about exploring our surroundings and internalizing, shrinking them down for our writing, this week is more about introspection. It’s not hard to do—exhaustion and a bit of awe from the sheer size of London keeps many of us close to the hotel, where we spend a lot of time evaluating what we’ve written and revising it. This week may not be one of new prose, but we do have a final portfolio of work due before we leave for home. Stories are considered, characters tweaked, odd sentences and wording reworked
or deleted. And we find, slowly, the meaning of the trip in those actions. Our instructor, Beth Spencer, asks us to consider our “defining moment” from the trip. For some, it’s an easy task: Gabbie and Tayler were stuck in Chicago for over a day because their planes were continuously cancelled, and they learned early on in the study abroad experience to sit back and enjoy what life throws at you. Others found meaning in the walk along Hadrian’s Wall, truly understanding for the first time the age and depth of the history we stood upon. I found my meaning, as I am wont to do, in the creativity we
encountered. The trip was all made worth it the moment we stepped into a theatre—English major though I might be, the stage was my first love. Three shows later , I’d decided that experiencing the theatre in the country where it gained its golden laurels was an experience COURTESY: TORI WILSON I shall never forget. But of independence gained and experienced, I can say a great deal as well. We’ve already visited my solo international flight experience, in equal parts frantic and boring. But you learn the value of solitude, too, on such a trip—afternoons spent in a tea room reading a book, or walking through the halls of a museum without anyone by your side to drag you away to the modern art exhibit when you’d rather spend the next hour or so among the pre-Raphaelites. You learn the anxiety of forgetting to put an item on the customs form for the box of souvenirs you shipped home—no more room in the suitcase—the relief when it arrives without any issue, and the

bemusement when the shipping company informs you it won’t deliver your package until you pay an ungodly sum of customs fees. But then, it’s worth it to see the look on your grandmother’s face when you hand her a watercolor painting of the English countryside, and hear the squeal when your best friend puts on her authentic Hufflepuff quidditch sweater. Study abroad is, of course, about the academics. They’ll tell you that the minute you walk into the study abroad office, full of questions and concerns and excitement. But, to the students, it’s more
about the people you encounter, the places you see. The country you visit is your classroom. And though you’ll receive credit hours and the grade will show up on your transcript, I found that you learn far more about yourself and your study abroad companions than you do about the course material. Although the class part was pretty awesome. Thanks, Beth.

Potts said he also wanted to increase awareness for different issues through classes and seminars for students. “Those are some of the things that we can do on campus that work well in a city but we need to bring them to a campus community,” Potts said. Potts said he wants to see the department work more closely with the students and the surrounding community. “I think we’ve got a great department and a great crime prevention unit already,” Potts said. “I think we can make some tweaks and work with the students and the campus closer. We need to be good neighbors to Oxford.” This is not his first foray into Mississippi, Potts said, but it’s close. Potts said he originally applied to be police chief at Mississippi State but because his daughter, Hayley, was in her senior year of high school, decided not to take it. “(It was) a very difficult de-

cision to make personally, but a very easy decision to make personally,” Potts said. “I didn’t want to miss out. I never regretted it.” Potts said he later joked that, if he was meant to be police chief, he would get another opportunity. Last semester, Potts was contacted about the position at Ole Miss. Potts said Hayley will be joining Ole Miss in the fall of 2016, after attending junior college in Indiana. Though there are lots of changes ahead, Potts said he is excited to learn about Oxford. “I know I’ve got my work cut out for me,” Potts said. “I need to learn about the traditions and the campus and the city.” Potts said being able to speak with students and families was a great part of his first day on the job. “It was exciting to see the student orientation as I left the Lyceum,” Potts said. “That’s why we’re here. There wouldn’t be a police department if there wasn’t a student population.” PHOTO BY: LOGAN KIRKLAND

When Morgan Pennington decided to record an acoustic EP, she wasn’t expecting to begin a partnership that would soon become And the Echo’s dreamy, synth-pop sound. Last year, Pennington began recording at Winn McElroy’s Black Wing Studio in Water Valley, Mississippi, and that’s when her album took an exciting turn. “While he was working on the music for [the EP] he kind of took an artistic new way and just changed one of the acoustic songs a little bit, and made it kind of electronic-y,” Pennington said. “It ended up being my favorite thing on the EP, and we just decided to do them all like that.” Then, the pair were asked to play last year’s Double Decker.

lights] kind of just add to the live experiences,” said McElroy. “It’s fun to program different scenes for each song.” For every song, the lights work in tandem with the band’s settings as well as with the tempo of the music. And the Echo’s music possesses a transcendental quality because of the fast-paced yet dreamy sound created by the synthesizers— also, though, because of Pennington’s seemingly unbreakable vocals, which are deeper and at the same time slightly more understated than what one might hear from mainstream electro-pop queens such as Lauren Mayberry (of CHVRCHES), Grimes and Purity Ring. As for Pennington’s lyrics, many are based on heartbreak, which she said she experienced for most of last year. For now, the duo has resolved

“I wasn’t really looking to be in a band, but we write together easily and we get along most of the time,” McElroy said. Though Pennington originally wanted to record her acoustic EP alone, McElroy’s expertise in production and, most importantly, synthesizers caught Pennington’s interest. Now both musicians play the synthesizers for recording purposes and their live performances. Pennington plays the guitar live, and the two also create all of their sounds with a wide range of instruments while recording. And the Echo’s live performances are unique compared what one might usually see in Oxford. Pennington and McElroy play with sound and lights to create a different ambiance for every song. “We realized, with our kind of music, you don’t have the mobility that you do playing those traditional rock instruments.

Position preview: tight end CODY THOMASON
csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
The depth at the tight end position took a big blow at Ole Miss on Wednesday when redshirt freshman Sammie Epps was dismissed from the team. Epps, who was a four star recruit in high school, showed great promise as a receiving tight end and was expected to see time as the backup to junior Evan Engram. Evan Engram will return as the starter for the third year in a row after earning second team AllSEC honors his freshman year and All-SEC first team honors last year. Engram was also named to the pre-season watch list for the Mackey Award, which is awarded at the end of the season to the nation’s top collegiate tight end. Last year, the second tight end spot was held by Nicholas Parker, who was mostly used as a blocking tight end for the Rebels. Without Epps, several players will have the opportunity to battle for his spot. Junior athlete Jeremy Liggins split his time as a short-yardage quarterback and a blocking time tight end last year and was moved to offensive tackle this offseason. With Epps’s dismissal, however, Liggins might see more time back at tight end. At 6-foot-3, 303 pounds Liggins basically adds a sixth offensive lineman that can line up at tight end as an extra run
blocker. Liggins has the athleticism to be a weapon in the passing game too, but so far hasn’t been a factor there, which can possibly be attributed to the multitude of positions he’s trying to learn. The only other player returning at tight end with game experience is junior Taz Zettergren. Zettergren only has one career reception and limited game experience, but did have two catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Grove Bowl this spring. Zettergren’s experience should give him a chance to compete for the backup job FILE PHOTO: THOMAS GRANING and see some time this Evan Engram (17) looks for room past Vanderbilt lineseason. backer during the first half of an NCAA game.

Track and Field has historic perfomance in championship CODY THOMASON
csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss outdoor track and field season ended last week at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, and with it came a number of accolades and records for the Rebels. A record nine competitors from Ole Miss were awarded All-American honors, which breaks the 2011 program record of eight All-American players. Earning first team All-American status was freshman Nicole Henderson, senior Jhorden Hunter, freshman Shannon Ray and junior Khadijah Suleman for their performance in the 100-meter final, in which they earned seventh place. These four took the Ole Miss women’s relay to its first ever Outdoor Championship and got the teams’ first All-American honors in the process. Ray also earned second team All-American status for her performance in the 200-meter race. Senior Fabia McDonald also received second team All-American recognition for her performance in the heptathlon, which contains 100 meter hurdles, the high jump,
shot put, 200-meter race, long jump, javelin throw and 800-meter race. McDonald placed 13th in the competition, which is the highest placing by an Ole Miss heptathlete in program history. It was the second time McDonald has been named an All-American in her career at Ole Miss, in which she also won SEC Freshman Field Athlete of the Year and was an SEC All-Freshman. For the men’s team, sophomores Jalen Miller, Craig Engels and Robert Domanic and junior Branden Greene placed as second team All-Americans. Miller placed 16th in the 100 meters after earning first team All-American honors in the 60-meter Indoor National Championships earlier that season.
