Runoff results City prescription drug program seeks participation BY LOGAN KIRKLAND thedmnews@gmail.com
The city of Oxford encourages more participation in a program that can save citizens money on prescription drugs regardless of their health coverage. Al Hope, the city director of human resources, said the Prescription Discount Card program is a way for the city to help those who are in need of certain drugs not covered by a health plan. “There are many people who may not have insurance, or insurance may not cover certain types of drugs,” Hope said. In 2010, Oxford joined the National League of Cities, which allowed it to distribute cards to citizens in order to help them save money on their prescription drugs. The program was brought up during a Board of Aldermen meeting and was considered a service to the citizens that needed to be spearheaded, since many other cities are already engaged in this program, Hope said. “The Board of Aldermen directed the human resource department to do this,” Hope said. “To enroll in the program, make sure that the information is out there and make sure the cards are available for citizens.” Hope said there was a im-

mediate positive outcome once the program started. “Since 2010 I think about 8 thousand dollars is what people have saved so far,” he said. Hope said the city decided to participate in the National League of Cities because it would benefit the citizens of Oxford. “A city is an entity that serves the citizens of the city,” Hope said. “That’s our sole responsibility.” Hope said presently the program is being promoted on the city’s website, but is looking for more ways to publicize this service to help increase the numbers of participants after participation dropped following 2012. “I wish the numbers were higher,” Hope said. “I think annually we will at some point
push some advertisement out there again to promote it and keep the citizens aware of it.” Cards in both English and Spanish are available at City Hall for citizens to pick up, Hope said. “Participate if you need it. Come and get the card, it will benefit you,” Hope said. “You can save up to 30 percent of your drug costs by using this card.” Hope encourages insured citizens of Oxford to still come by City Hall and pick up cards to help the city distribute them to those who may need them. “Even if you have drug coverage, come and get the card anyway,” he said. “Come and get some cards and take them

Safety first in new parking garage at Ole Miss BY LAUREN COX lecox4@go.olemiss.edu
Ole Miss is expected to open its first parking garage with 823 brand new spaces for students, staff and the community this fall. However, such a large garage raises issues of safety. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, from 2004 to
Opinion:
2008 seven percent of all violent crimes occurred in parking garages. In 2009, about six percent of purse snatchings or pickpocketing incidents took place in parking garages. Mike Harris, director of parking and transportation at The University of Mississippi, said safety precautions are already a part of the plan for the new garage.
“This particular garage will have cameras,” Harris said. “There will not be any place inside this garage that won’t be monitored. Even the elevators have cameras. “It will be well lit; we are using L.E.D. lighting which is the top of the line lighting. It will be well open.” Harris also said cameras will monitor the license plates

The language of kindness BY JUSTINA GREER jagreer2@go.olemiss.edu
My university has a huge, amazing foreign exchange program. I’ve had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. And while introducing my friends from out of the country to my American friends, I began to notice something in particular. My friend SuJung from Korea, whom I met at a party and got along with immediately, ate lunch with me and a group of my other friends. While at the table, SuJung tried to describe something that she ate. It turned out to be a cookie. One of my friends laughed

and remarked, “She doesn’t know what a chocolate chip cookie is?” Understandably, SuJung’s English is limited, but, less forgivably, people spoke down to her as if she were a child. My friends even called her cute because she was struggling to articulate her thoughts using English. Struggling with a language isn’t cute. It’s frustrating and embarrassing. Just the other night, my mom’s friend, Maxwell, invited us to eat at a Mexican restaurant. The waiter was young and nice but had difficulties communicating with us. Maxwell asked the waiter something, the waiter asked

him to repeat himself, and Maxwell said, “Never mind, buddy. I think I’m overwhelming your brain.” Then he sent the waiter off with a condescending pat on the back. Both of these instances were terrible, and both times I said something. It’s not okay, and it’s certainly not funny. It’s rude. I have sympathy for non native English speakers attempting to increase their understanding of the language, because I’m learning Chinese and it is a struggle. My tutor was young —a woman from Shanghai and she would tell me how awful she felt when people couldn’t understand her, and how alone she felt.

As I was habitually wasting my life last night on Facebook, I came across a shared article titled “Why did God create apes with human features?” The satirical article, which can be found at answersingenesis.com, attempts to answer as to why God would create apes if He knew that they would be used by scientists so vehemently in the defense of the evolution of species by natural selection. The author makes three really prominent conclusions, all of which seemed acceptable enough to the person who posted it. First, she states that the commonality between species is evidence of a common Designer (fair enough). However, the rest of her argument completely disregards the findings of nearly every field of modern science. She stands by the story of the seven day creation and its literal interpretation. Ultimately she concludes that God created apes with human features just because “He wanted to.” Hmm, now that’s a convenient, untestable hypothesis. Well, what does science have to say about all this? First off, planet Earth is 4.5

billion years old. Life on Earth (like prokaryote life) has been around for about 3.6 billion years. Woah, right? That’s not even the coolest part. Modern humans did not show up on the scene until 200,000 years ago. Think about it this way. If Earth were a bar on the Square, humanity paid an outrageous cover just to walk through the door and be ushered right back out because it closes in five minutes. That’s how long we as a species have been on this planet. We didn’t just show up by magic, either — at least, not initially. We humans are part of an epic biological drama that has been going on for billions of years. Look up our ancestors! (australopiths are quite adorable). We as a species have evolved to this point and we are still evolving. Don’t believe me? Do you have your wisdom teeth? Not to be super sacrilegious here, but why would God create a species that is “finished” that doesn’t have room in its mouth for a third molar? It’s because we’re evolving. As our food morsels have gotten smaller and easier to chew, our jaws have gotten smaller. There is just no room for our third molar anymore.
Where am I going with all of this? I’m not trying to prove to that there is no God. We could discuss that all day, maybe get really angry at each other and get practically nowhere. What I do want to talk about is: Why aren’t we talking about this? Why aren’t the findings of science applied more enthusiastically to our religious and spiritual intuitions? What are we afraid of becoming? Atheists, agnostics, and nontheists are going to have to begin to give some credit to the religious experience. Belief in the supernatural is a powerful, driving force in our species. To simply deny millions their beliefs just because modern science even remotely suggests that they may be wrong is definitely not helping the discussion. Furthermore, outright denying the existence of God or the supernatural without sufficient evidence isn’t really scientific. I’m also going to ask believers to suspend their belief for a second, however. Creationism is not science. Literal interpretations of religious doctrine just do not stand up to the repeatable, methodological explanations of scientific research. This, however, does not make thousands of years

of traditions and beliefs suddenly invalid. In my opinion, it makes the ultimate questions we have dealt with for thousands of years that more intriguing, that more bizarre. So let’s starting talking about the implications of religion adopting science and vice versa. More importantly, let’s start attempting to apply it in our lives. But where do we begin? First, let’s not forget that there are religions other than Christianity and they are all trying to solve the same problems. So let’s look there. Let’s not allow our intuition to overcome the logic of science, though. Instead, let it guide our logical inquiries.

SEC drug testing policies lack consistency BY MADDIE FRIEDMANN mofriedm@go.olemiss.eduom
In recent years, presidents, athletic directors and coaches in the Southeastern Conference have debated the rules and regulations regarding drug testing. During the SEC’s annual meeting in Destin, Fla. in 2012 and 2013, athletic directors and coaches tabled the idea of implementing a conference-wide substanceabuse policy. Some, like The University of Georgia’s athletic director, Greg McGarity, believe a conference-wide drug testing policy should be mandatory; however, the idea did not come to pass. As of now, penalties for positive drug testing results remain in the hands of each individual school. McGarity told ESPN, “We believe there should be some type of consistent penalty (for each positive test).” Other athletic directors who supported McGarity’s proposal are concerned that not having an SEC-wide drug policy provides a competitive advantage to universities who are not as strict in their punishments. In other words, the penalties for a first, second and third positive drug test vary depending on the school issuing them. For example, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State are the only SEC schools to enforce suspension of an athlete after a first positive drug test for recreational drugs, while a student-athlete at Alabama, Arkansas, Florida or LSU is dismissed after a fourth positive drug test. The remaining SEC universities dismiss an offending player after a third
positive test. Before the tenure of current Athletic Director Ross Bjork, Dr. Ronald Rychlak, chair of the Institutional Compliance Committee at Ole Miss, said the university’s drug policies were too lenient. For example, a second offense may have only meant free tickets would no longer be afforded to the athlete’s family members. Upon his arrival at Ole Miss, Bjork adjusted everything about the university’s drug policy including the tolerance level for the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, the principal psychoactive constituent of marijuana, allowed in the student-athlete’s system. According to Ole Miss’ official drug policy, “a normalized/ confirmed result of 5 nanograms of tetrahydrocannabinol will constitute a positive test for marijuana.” After a first offense, an Ole Miss student-athlete is required to fulfill four punishments: informing his or her parents of the failed drug test, attending counseling sessions, working 10 hours of community service and submitting to a follow-up drug test 30 days after the initial, failed attempt. As if that weren’t enough, the head coach of the student-athlete reserves the right to administer additional forms of discipline. Rychlak said for members of the Ole Miss baseball team, this means complete removal from the team after a first offense. Conversely, for members of the basketball team the punishments are much less severe. “Failing one, essentially,
you don’t hurt yourself,” former Ole Miss basketball player Marshall Henderson remarked. “You just lose trust, which hurts and is hard to get back.” Known for his outrageous behavior on the court, Henderson is a veteran to all forms of drug testing: NCAA, The University of Mississippi and parole. “I’ve been taking drug tests forever,” Henderson said. “Literally, I’ve taken a drug test at least once every month the whole time I’ve been in college.” After failing his third drug test, Henderson was dismissed from the team under university policy. Henderson, however, is far from the only Division I athlete to be hamstrung by drug testing. In 2012, former LSU football star Tyrann Mathieu was suspended for a game after reportedly failing a drug test. In January of that same year, Florida’s defensive tackle, Leon Orr, was charged with possession of marijuana, becoming the sixth Gator to confront marijuana charges in a two-year span. An increase in drug use among college athletes has become a growing concern for the NCAA. In a NCAA report released in 2009, 26.7 percent of football players said they had smoked marijuana – a 5 percent increase from the previous report taken in 2005. However, Shannon Singletary, senior associate athletic director of sports medicine and drug test administrator at Ole Miss, contradicted the association’s research.
“We find that more and more athletes don’t like doing (marijuana), because it makes them tired in class and at practice,” Singletary said. Not only are student-athletes required to take drug tests, so are employees and interns of the Ole Miss Athletic Department. John Hartman, student trainer for soccer and football, explained that he is under the same policies as the athletes he treats with one exception – he does not receive a second chance. “If we pop positive, we’ll lose our jobs and our scholarships,” Hartman said. Although he is not personally offended by drug testing policies, Hartman said he can understand student-athletes’ hesitation in handing over a urine sample. “I mean that’s your personal life, and you may not really want too many people knowing about your personal business,” he said. “It can be an intrusion.” SEC student-athletes who fail a drug test issued by their university are lucky when compared to failing a drug test issued by the NCAA. Despite the most recent lax changes to the NCAA drug policies, testing positive under their watch can result in far worse consequences. The NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports changed the testing threshold for marijuana last year, decreasing it from 15 nanograms per milliliter to 5 nanograms. Until recently, a positive drug test, no matter the substance, resulted in a 365 day suspen-
sion. Under the newly developed guidelines, a studentathlete who tests positive for marijuana will be ineligible for 50 percent of the season, reducing the former punishment by half. Presently, the NCAA is discussing whether to implement counseling and treatment options to studentathletes who are caught trying to avoid the tests. “You want to have a rule that will discourage people from doing the wrong thing, but will also be tempered in some ways with some understanding and the ability to be flexible,” Rychlak said. “Unfortunately, you still have people who think they can beat the system and get away with it.”

to your church.” Junior pharmacy major Jamie Hill said he is happy to see the city participating in the program. “I think that it’s good for the city to offer people that cannot pay for their prescriptions through another policy,” he said. Hill said it is important for citizens to take advantage of the program that the city has to offer because prescription drug expenses can be daunting. “Citizens need to take advantage of the program because drugs are getting more and more expensive from the manufacturers, so pharmacies are having to charge more,” Hill said.
Mayor Pat Patterson said the program is just one example of how the city is trying to better the quality of life for its citizens. “The City of Oxford is continually looking at ways to mitigate the cost of medical care for its staff and citizens,” Patterson said. Hope expressed interested in revamping this program and to provide more assistance to those who are in need of it and will continually look for more ways to help Oxford’s citizens. “Anything that we can do to incorporate any type of program, services and activities that the citizens may need, we are supposed to be aggressive in getting that done,” he said.

All sources of drinking water, even bottled water, are subject to potential contamination by substances that are natural or manmade. These substances can be microbes, inorganic or organic chemicals and radioactive substances. All drinking water including bottled water may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1.800.426.4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorder, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

Ticket sales begin for The Lyric’s fall lineup BY CODY THOMASON csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu
After a quiet summer due to the drop in population that comes with many students leaving town for the summer, local Oxford venue The Lyric has recently added two big acts to its fall lineup: solo artist Jason Isbell and four-piece band J. Roddy Walston & The Business. Jason Isbell will most likely draw a huge crowd on Sept. 12. The alt-country artist hails from Alabama, and was a member of fellow alt-country giant Drive-By Truckers before setting off to start his solo career in 2007. Since then, he has released four studio albums, including “Southeastern” in 2013. Isbell’s music showcases his lyrical quality as well as his music ability to back it up. His songs alternate between solo ballads and songs with a full backing band. Isbell recently played music festivals such as Beale Street Music Festival and The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, and is scheduled to play more, such as the Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Ky., as well as three sold out shows at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. Advance tickets for Isbell’s show at the Lyric are $25. With advance tickets listed at a bargain of only $10, J. Roddy Walston & The Business offers a show worth much more than

the price. The band returns to Oxford for the first time since playing Double Decker in 2013. Known for high-energy live shows, the band features a sound that falls somewhere between rock, blues and Americana. The group released its most popular album to date, “Essential Tremors,” in 2013. Over the 12-year history of the band, J. Roddy Walston & the Business has played with bands such as the Black Keys and The Lumineers and played at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. They perform at the Lyric on Oct. 1.
Opening for Isbell will be Southaven native Cory Branan. Known for his storytelling style, Branan is a renowned lyricist, and has a new album, “The No-Hit Wonder,” slated for a 2014 release. Meanwhile, Fly Golden Eagle will be opening for J. Roddy Walston & The Business. Fly Golden Eagle is a four-piece band from Nashville, Tenn., and has played with the likes of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Arctic Monkeys and Alabama Shakes. The band was founded in 2007 and has released three albums of their self-titled “psych-funk” music.

Four reasons to start cooking at home BY GRACE LOVVORN eglovvor@go.olemiss.edu
Summer is the ideal time to start new adventures, and the kitchen is the perfect place to begin. For students, cooking is typically limited to ramen noodles and Easy Mac. You don’t have to stop there — with the right foundation, cooking at home can be highly beneficial for your health and your wallet. 1. It’s cheaper. Let’s face it: Eating out in Oxford can be pricey, no matter how generous your budget may be. Even fast food joints can ring up to over $10 a person. Students living on campus typically have meal plans, which is an easy solution to avoid frequenting expensive restaurants. For those living off campus, however, avoiding pricey eateries requires a little more than swiping a student ID. To start eating cheaply at home, stock up on essentials to make a well rounded pantry. Items such as salt, bread, butter, and eggs are necessities to any kitchen, but are often overlooked by those not accustomed to cooking at home. Stocking a kitchen may be
slightly expensive at first, but will lead to extremely inexpensive meals. Homemade meals can cost as little as under a dollar per serving! 2. It’s healthier. Recently, Subway was under fire for adding a chemical found in yoga mats and shoes to its breads. Subway claims to have since removed the chemical from its food, but one must wonder what else fast food chains are hiding from their customers. By cooking yourself, you have full knowledge of the ingredients being used. Cooking at home also means fewer processed foods, which in turn means less sodium, sugar and unhealthy fats. 3. It’s an easy way to bond with roommates and friends. Cooking may be fun, but cooking with your friends and roommates is even better. Throughout history, food has been used to bring people together. Everyone pitching in with the preparation of a meal makes it even more rewarding — and tasty! Cooking with friends is a perfect way to spend a hot afternoon indoors, while doing so with room-
mates helps establish team building skills much needed for living in close quarters. 4. There are plenty of options. The key to adding variety to your diet is the Internet. Going online means access to unlimited ideas for meals. With the multitude of excellent cooking blogs available (The Pioneer Woman is a personal favorite), along with recipe-laden Pinterest, virtually any recipe is only a few clicks away. Even better, many recipes only need staple items that can usually be found in an average pantry. By turning to your own kitchen for food, you can also explore new food and drink options. Want to try juicing? It’s more than possible at home. A unique quinoa recipe? Sure thing. With the right mindset, cooking at home can exponentially increase your options concerning food. Although going out to eat can be convenient, cooking at home is worthwhile and builds lifelong skills (just ask Grandma). Don’t let anything hold you back — start cooking tonight! 30234

Their least favorite question at the bar, “So … what are you doing after this summer?” The Hangout - Not quite ready to make a move, this grad either hangs out at home or hangs out in town — they have no interest in a career or a marriage, they just love being an undergrad or love eating out of mom’s fridge. Either way, they are the super fun to hang out with people who will always be around when you need them! **Another version of the Hangout chooses to hang out all over the world. They take odd jobs in China or Iceland. Sometimes they just buy a ticket to Germany and you receive odd snapchats from them while they frolic through Europe.

In May, my Dad, stepmother and grandparents flew in from Orlando and watched me walk across the stage at the Tad Pad. They walked in when the announcer got to the L’s and disappeared as soon as they said “Mallory Simerville” and snapped a picture of me walking across the stage. As soon as I sat down from receiving my fake diploma (still haven’t gotten that real one in the mail) they sat in traffic for an hour trying to get to the Square and finally met me at home for a celebration over BBQ and cake. At this point, I was set to work
at a coffee shop for a year until my fiancé finished with graduate school. As I write this from the beach in Destin, I’ll be attending graduate school in the fall, and we will be living in Oxford as post grads for another two years. With my own future and career choices changing post graduation, the idea of such a shaky future combined with watching my friends struggle with moving past undergrad has become exciting and scary. I graduated with a wide variety of friends — and with that I’ve decided to categorize Ole Miss post grads. This is what I’ve found (to my friends, you know where you fall):

‘Ultraviolence’ brings new era for Lana Del Rey eglovvor@go.olemiss.edu
Recycling
Singer Lana Del Rey has outdone herself with her second album, “Ultraviolence.” Considered her second studio album (with 2012’s “Paradise” released as an EP), “Ultraviolence” brings new depth to Del Rey’s signature emotional ballads. Even before her newest album, Lana Del Rey had been exposed to a fair amount of publicity. Born Elizabeth Grant, Del Rey took on her stage name to much success. Her first major album, “Born to Die” became the fifth bestselling album in 2012. Her success in record sales has made her well known, even among mainstream pop listeners. “Ultraviolence,” however, is a turn from the cheery, upbeat choruses and sultry crooning Del Rey is so commonly known for. This album is quite different from most artists’ once success has fallen upon them—“selling out” to popular music audiences is a common career move, especially given Del Rey’s circumstances. However, Del Rey is making her music more raw and unique, which makes “Ultraviolence” a standout. The album, produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, opens with “Cruel World,” a song which is darkly haunting. The theme carries throughout the rest of the album, showing characteristics of painful emotion, sin, and personal experiences.
A feeling of sadness is prominent throughout the album, with songs like “Pretty When You Cry” and “Shades of Blue” that are heartbreakingly beautiful. From a musical sense, Del Rey has evolved her style since “Born to Die.” Almost every song on “Ultraviolence” maintains a retro sound, which is in stark contrast to the hits on her first album (“Born to Die” and “Summertime Sadness”) that skyrocketed her to fame. The songs are lacking the complexity her older songs had—gone are the sound bites that added contemporary flair. Along with the instrumental simplicity, Del Rey is now more conservative with her vocals. Previously, she would attempt to jump from octave to octave, therefore making listeners question her voice’s normal pitch. In “Ultraviolence,” her voice almost always maintains a constant pitch, but results in occasionally sounding flat. Del Rey’s delicate blend of instrumentals and vocals creates a listening experience that is like no other. Her newest songs are pleasant and appealing to the ear, but still posses the ability to evoke raw emotions such as pain and heartbreak. This formula has been successful for Del Rey before, but she takes it to the next level in “Ultraviolence.” Is “Ultraviolence” for the casual Lana Del Rey listener? No. Del Rey has evolved away from the mainstream
audience which had adopted much of her music. Her newest album is beautiful in its own sense, but may not have the ability to be heard on any Top 40 radio stations. In fact, none of her newest singles are anywhere to be seen on the iTunes Top

2014 NBA Mock Draft bbstubbs@go.olemiss.edu
The NBA Draft is tonight, with coverage beginning at 6 p.m. on ESPN live from the Barclays Center in New York. This draft is the most hyped draft since 2003, and there is a lot of excitement in store. Here is my full mock draft, and a description of the top 14 lottery picks: No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers Andrew Wiggins - shooting guard, University of Kansas The Cavaliers are in search of a defensive stopper with a lot of potential. Andrew Wiggins fits the bill and has all the tools to become a future superstar. Cleveland could go with Jabari Parker here, but you can’t go wrong with him or Wiggins. Also, don’t be surprised if the Cavs trade this pick to help lure LeBron James back home. No. 2 Milwaukee Bucks Jabari Parker - small forward, Duke University
The Bucks finished with the league’s worst record last season and are in desperate need of some offense. The no-brainer pick is Jabari Parker. He’s a kid who grew up in Chicago, which is just about an hour away from Milwaukee. Parker has been compared to NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony, and that’s a good sign. If Parker goes #1 to Cleveland, then expect Wiggins to be the pick here. No. 3 Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid - center, University of Kansas The 76ers were the most affected by the Joel Embiid injury, as they believed Andrew Wiggins could have slipped to them at No. 3. Many draft experts argued that Joel Embiid could have been the No. 1 overall pick in the draft before the news broke that he suffered a fractured foot earlier in the month. Embiid has potential to have the biggest upside in the draft, but is a risk considering his back injury at Kansas and now his foot in-

jury. The 76ers could form a dominant defensive unit with Embiid and Nerlens Noel for many years to come as long as they both can stay healthy. Embiid could go anywhere from 3-7 in this draft. No. 4 Orlando Magic Dante Exum - point guard, Australia The Magic are in search for a point guard and a power forward. At No. 4, the upside of Dante Exum is too much to pass up. Standing at 6-foot6, the 18-year-old Aussie has potential to blossom in the NBA. The Magic desperately need a guard to go along with shooting guard Victor Oladipo. Don’t be surprised if Orlando goes with a power forward like Noah Vonleh or Julius Randle with this pick as that position is another hole for Orlando. No. 5 Utah Jazz Noah Vonleh - power forward, Indiana University The Jazz are looking for another stretch forward to go along side Derrick Favors and
No. 7 Los Angeles Lakers Julius Randle - power forward, University of Kentucky The Lakers could literally use anybody as they only have three players under contract for next season. LA also needs a guy who can come in and contribute right away, and Randle is that guy. He is a dominant low-post scorer
No. 8 Sacramento Kings Marcus Smart - point guard, Oklahoma State University The Kings received good point guard play last season from Isaiah Thomas, who hits the free agent market this summer. If the Kings choose not to re-sign him, then they will need a point guard. Marcus Smart would add another scorer to the Kings roster who already have two good pieces in Rudy Gay and Demarcus Cousins. Power forward is also another need for Sacramento, and they may go that route if Gordon, Vonleh or Randle slips to them. No. 9 Charlotte Hornets Gary Harris - shooting guard, Michigan State University The Hornets need 3-point shooting, as they ranked towards the bottom in that category last season.

Rebels end historic season, look ahead BY DYLAN RUBINO thedmsports@gmail.com
The Rebels’ season ended Saturday with a 4-1 loss to Virginia in Omaha, which resulted in a 2-2 final record in the College World Series. The loss may have marked the end of an incredible run for the Diamond Rebels, but it also marks the start of the transition from a good program to a great program in Oxford. Ole Miss finished their 2014 campaign with a 48-21 overall record, winning the SEC West when they were picked to finish second-to-last in the division, advanced to Omaha for the first time in 42 years, and are likely to finish in the third spot in the final national polls. As head coach Mike Bianco said in the press conference after the season-ending loss to Virginia, “They’ll go down as the best team that ever played at Ole Miss.” It was sad to see the season end for a team that looked destined to make a run for a national title, but this team should be celebrated for the run they had, and should be looked at as not only the greatest team in Ole Miss baseball history, but also one of the greatest teams in Ole Miss history. Looking at next year, it will be a different Rebel team on Swayze Field. Nine Ole Miss players were selected in the MLB Draft: Braxton Lee, Will Allen, Chris Ellis, Christian Trent, Aaron Greenwood, Austin Anderson, Austin Bousfield, Josh Laxer and Hawtin Buchanan. Anderson, Allen, Greenwood, John Gatlin and Preston Overbey are all seniors and have graduated. Ole Miss can potentially lose most of their bats from the middle of the lineup with Anderson and Allen graduat-
ing, and Bousfield most likely signing a big league contract. Lee is also considering signing a big league contract. The possible lineup for the first game of the 2015 will feature some familiar faces, but consist mainly of new faces coming into the program looking to make a name for themselves and help this team continue their run at success. The key returners in the lineup for the Rebels are Sikes Orvis, Errol Robinson and J.B. Woodman. Colby Bortles will likely find his way into the starting lineup full time in the infield and will make a big impact filling in the hole in the middle of the lineup. He will most likely play third base, replacing Anderson. Will Jamison, who saw frequent playing time throughout the season, will likely get one of the spots in the outfield. As we saw in the College World Series when Allen injured his shoulder and played designated hitter in the Rebels’ final two games, Austin Knight replaced him as catcher and will likely do the same to start next season. Knight is a great defensive catcher, which could help him secure the starting spot in his senior year. He played great filling in for Allen the last two games in Omaha and did what he could offensively to help the lineup produce. There could be competition at second base with Dalton Dulin and incoming freshman Tate Blackman fighting for the spot in the middle infield. Blackman was the former number one infielder prospect in the country and is likely to see a spot somewhere in the Rebel lineup, whether it be at third or second. Holt Perdzock, who came in and produced in clutch moments for the Rebels this season, will be one of the candi-
dates for the designated hitter spot. He will compete with JUCO transfers Jack Kaiser and Jordan Watkins. With Chris Ellis likely to sign a major league contract as a third round pick by the Los Angeles Angels, the Rebels will lose their ace of the staff, but are still loaded at pitching. Christian Trent will be back for the Rebels. The numbers Trent put up this season made him look like the true ace, going 10-0 for the season with a 2.05 ERA in 110 innings pitched. Sam Smith will be back and will move up in the rotation to the number two spot. He struggled at times in the season, but his experience and the number of quality starts he put up will be key in the rotation. The third spot in the rotation is up for grabs. The bullpen will be without Greenwood and most likely Laxer, but return familiar faces including Scott Weathersby and Wyatt Short. The biggest loss for the Rebels will be in the coaching staff, as hitting coach Cliff Godwin accepted the head coaching job at his alma mater East Carolina on Wednesday. The news that Godwin would get a head-coaching gig somewhere is no surprise, as he was considered one of the best assistant coaches in the country by many. He helped the Rebels go to Omaha by making them one of the best offensive teams in the country with a .303 batting average, the best in the SEC and second in runs scored in the SEC. Replacing Godwin will be no easy task. The Rebels will look different when they take the field for the first time at Swayze in 2015, but some familiar faces return and new faces will be inserted in the lineup to make Ole Miss one of the top teams in the country once again. This time it will be expected.
