Chancellor search encourages student, faculty input CLARA TURNAGE

Alan Perry, president of the Institutions of Higher Learning board, listens to a speaker Tuesday.

Two listening sessions on Tuesday gave the Institutions of Higher Learning board much to ponder, following the pleas and statements from faculty, staff, students and alumni.

Glenn Boyce, college board commissioner, was a member of the panel for both sessions and met with the campus search committee on Monday.

“It’s been a great couple of days up here,” Boyce said.

“We’ve got a really good feel for what the next chancellor should look like.”

Of the two, the afternoon meeting encouraged more participation from crowd and brought many points to the surface. Douglass Sullivan-González, dean of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College, initiated perhaps the most tense subject the meeting would cover, saying the trust deficit between the university and the college board was a rift that left both parties on shaky ground.

Boyce said the board recognizes this trust issue and planned to work towards rebuilding.

Oxford Blues Festival Saturday MCKENNA WIERMAN

There’s nothing that touches the soul quite like the tune of an old fashioned blues song.

Whether you’ve got something heavy on your mind, or you just happen to catch a listen at the right moment, a good blues song can connect your body and soul to the music, and put you right inside the mind of the musicians.

This weekend at the Oxford Blues Festival, blues fans will have the rare opportunity not only to hear the music of the heartbroken, but also to interact with musicians and advocates for the blues community at a panel at the Overby Center moderated by Ole Miss graduate

student DeWayne Moore.

The panel will include notable blues musicians R. L. Boyce of Como, Mississippi and Bobby Ray Watson, who will be returning to Mississippi from California for the first time in over a decade. Moore said he is excited to see what kind of stories the musicians will share, especially Bobby Ray Watson, whom Moore has interviewed for his dissertation.

“It took me a long time to track him down,” Moore said. “And it took him a long time to talk to me and it took him a long time to agree to come down here. But I’m excited to hear more about him.”

It’s Moore’s hope that the Blues panel will not only allow

attendees to learn more about Blues Music and Mississippi, but also share in the stories of these musicians’ lives.

“I try to bring something interesting and new - it’s hard to distinguish yourself from all the other blues and music festivals around,” he said. “I’m hoping the different groups on panels have a chance to talk to each other.”

Besides music men, the panel will also include members of the nonprofit organization Killer Blues Headstone Project and Skip Henderson, the founder of cemetery restoration society known as the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund. These organizations have completed charitable work in Mississippi over the years, re-

Cosby & America’s problematic rape culture COLUMN

ZOE MCDONALD

zkmcdona@go.olemiss.edu

Not long after the on-camera confessions from nearly 50 women whom Cosby allegedly drugged and molested, Bill Cosby denounced the “allegations.”

He constantly lied and thus worked to silence his victims.

His lawyers said the allegations were “absolutely false.”

His wife, family, and fellow Americans stood with him.

This one situation seems to reflect the atmosphere regarding rape and sexual violence today. The accused rapist has the innocent card to pull, especially if enough time passes between the alleged rape accusations and if, for any reason, the victim doesn’t undergo a rape kit exam— like many of Cosby’s victims.

Hopefully, if he or she plays it right, everything will disappear.

In Cosby’s situation, it was easy for him to dodge the bullet with his celebrity power, wealth and father-figure reputation.

Many who did accuse him over the years in court were paid settlements.

And now, the statute of limitations works in Cosby’s favor for

many of the allegations. Many of these women were drugged and/or raped by Cosby more than a couple years ago, which in most states, is longer than the statute of limitations for a civil case that one might wish to file.

A few of Cosby’s alleged victims are still under the statute of limitations, and very well could file a case which would probably end in another settlement – not jail— for Cosby.

This slew of women speaking out is everything that Bill Cosby sought to avoid.

His power, charm, and team of attorneys would protect him, however. The brave words of the 45 women didn’t hold any power to Bill Cosby and his supporters. Throughout the past few months of repeated accusations by multitudes of women, Cosby continued to tour with his stand-up show, occasionally receiving flack from the audience for his alleged actions, but, nonetheless, still performing for an audience.

If 45 women and the media are what it takes to bring one man down, imagine how many women still remain silent about the identity of their abuser, whether to protect their reputa-

tion, career or livelihood.

Reputation should not come into question as a rape victim; unfortunately, the climate on rape in America seems to find ways to out the victim for “asking for it,” often with choice of clothing or lack of sobriety.

Which brings me to another point: if a person is not sober enough to consent to sex, and the other party continues, it is rape.

It’s sad to think that I was a little disappointed that Cosby had actually committed the acts and given women the drugs, but I always believed what these women were saying. Maybe it’s because I am a female myself.

Maybe it’s because I actually feel for victims— men and women— who bravely share their often hard-to-revisit stories to out an abuser who may remain innocent. It takes guts to share a negative story about one of the most well-loved men in America, especially if you know you’re not being taken seriously by others.

To top off the controversy, Cosby’s wife and business advisor recently told a group of advisors that she, in fact, still stands with him, and she said she be-

lieves the women consented to both the drugs and the sex.

Some might say these women were stupid or were asking for it.

These women, many in their early twenties, close to my own age, thought one of the most successful comedians at the time was going to “mentor” them – help them rise to stardom, when, in fact, he only wanted to exploit them to gain his sick, short-lived pleasure.

When Andrea Constand, Cosby’s first accuser, wanted only an apology from Cosby years ago, he purportedly offered her money to get through grad school.

Cosby relied on money and charisma to keep these women quiet. It only worked for so long, until their power in numbers finally added up against him.

Unfortunately, just as many rape victims never see their abuser imprisoned, it is doubtful that Cosby will be penalized for his acts other than the removal of a few busts or awards.

continued from page 1 any great process is the ability to rebuild trust,” Boyce said.

“We can rebuild that trust all along the way. One of the ways you rebuild trust is, you do two things: you listen wisely and you communicate effectively.

You become incredibly transparent.”

Boyce said this transparency meant being open to all questions and open for discussion.

“It doesn’t mean everybody is always going to agree,” Boyce said. “It means we’re going to have enough respect that we will always respond to each other.”

Sullivan-González urged the board to return to basics when choosing a chancellor. He asked them to ensure the candidates had experience leading a university. The University of Mississippi, he said, does not face in-state competition but rather that of international competitors.

“Our competition is not Mississippi,” Sullivan-González said. “It’s Beijing.”

On this front, Sullivan-González said the university has made considerable progress and said the new chancellor must be able to sustain that momentum.

Oliver Dinius, vice-chair of the faculty senate, spoke to this issue.

“There are a lot of things we’ve started that have been successful,” Dinius said.

“There is some concern that we will lose that momentum.”

Kirsten Dellinger, the chair of sociology, urged the board to seek ethical and gender diversity in the pool of candidates.

“In order to continue the momentum and to address the trust deficiencies between universities and the IHL, (the chancellor) is going to have to have to disagree with the IHL,” said Norris E. J. Edney, an alumnus and doctoral student.

“I think our new chancellor needs to have no connection in Mississippi politics. I think it’s ruining us to have such close connections to politicians,” said Katie Williamson, a recent graduate.

storing and erecting gravestones and memorials to the unmarked or neglected grave sites of some of Mississippi’s deceased blues singers.

Steve Salter, president of the Killer Blues Headstone Project, said he is excited to be a part of the Blues panel this year, and looks forward to sharing his passion for the project at the festival. The project formed in 1997, when Salter went to pay homage to some of his blues heroes down in New Orleans only to discover many of them lay in unmarked or dilapidated graves.

Since then, he and his organization have made it their mission to ensure the voices of blues music’s past have their name on

their final resting place.

“I put headstones on artists’ graves as a sign of gratitude and respect,” Salter said. “I am grateful for the music that they produced and I want their life and contributions to be remembered. Many or most of these artists lay in unmarked graves because they were poor and their families had no money to purchase a headstone for them. Those family members have been overwhelmed with gratitude for what we do. It is very humbling and satisfying to be able to offer this to them.”

Henderson of the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund, however, said his work isn’t about blues music or fallen singers, but about reclaiming and securing land in Mississippi that is otherwise at risk of foreclosure or being swallowed up by the agricultural industry.

“The work I do, it isn’t about the blues. The music is the soundtrack,” Henderson said.

“It’s all about saving the soul of Mississippi.”

The work of the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund focuses exclusively on the state, and uses whatever means possible to save a cemetery, according to Henderson.

“Mississippi is the most spiritual place I’ve ever been,” Henderson said. “I welcome any chance to go up to Mississippi.

I’m excited for this weekend.”

Through the panel, it is Moore’s hope that the Killer Blues Headstone Project and Mt. Zion Memorial Fund will be able to learn from each other and find ways to foster and share successes, so that they will continue to bring recognition to the resting souls of Mississippi’s blues forefathers.

The famous opening line of Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” reads: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

Like this classic, Julia Pierpont’s novel “Among the Ten Thousand Things” is fascinated by the intricate dynamics of an unhappy family. And, true to form, it is a definitively unique unhappy family—part of the genius in this novel is the smart, millennial twist on the tested family drama.

The Shanley family, residents of Manhattan, live a way of life that has been created by modern times. Deb and Jack, the matriarch and patriarch of the story, are artists by vocation: Jack works as a semi-famous sculptor

affair.

As this affair begins to expose itself to the entire family, Pierpont explores the different and excruciating ways an event like this one affects every single Shanley.

At times funny and at times poignant - yet always clear and exacting - Pierpont’s remarkable ability to delve into the viewpoints of all of her characters is evident here.

Even though Pierpont is just 28, she seems to have the wisdom of someone who was lived through middle age and seen first hand the outcome of the kinds of events she details.

The prose in “Among the Ten Thousand Things,” while not terribly layered or complex, has all the precision of someone who has been writing much longer than Pierpont.

She is straightforward without ever being blunt or gliding over any small detail. In fact, one of the only (minute) faults about this book would be the strange, intense description of seemingly random things, like meals of pizza or chicken and rice.

Pierpont also takes an incredible structural risk halfway through the novel, where she jumps forward into the future and reveals how the events of the novel eventually play out.

and Deb, an ex-ballet dancer, now teaches dance classes.

There was a time in history where creative types would’ve lived, for the most part, Bohemian, nomadic and unconventional lifestyles. But since creative professions are increasingly more accepted, Deb and Jack live a fairly normal, urban lifestyle in their Manhattan apartment on the Upper West Side with their two children: Simon, the secretly rebellious, experimenting, angsty teen, and Kay, the 11-year-old Seinfeld fan-fiction writer.

As the novel opens, the doorman hands Kay a package with instructions that it is “for mommy;” Kay, who suspects that this may be a gift or surprise, instead opens the box to find explicit letters and emails exchanged between Jack and his mistress, with whom he maintained a long term

Competition in SEC West leads to larger salaries HOOVER, Alabama (AP) — The Southeastern Conference Western Division is college football’s land of plenty, with all seven schools throwing huge piles of money at their respective coaching staffs to try and gain an upper hand.

The theory: More cash invested equals more victories.

But Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin summed up the conundrum facing the seven schools with three simple words during SEC Media Days: “Everybody can’t win.”

He’s right — it’s a mathematical reality — which means the high-stakes game of gridiron poker will almost certainly end with one or two schools suffering through some serious disappointment come December.

After Mississippi State gave Dan Mullen a raise in the offseason, it assured that every coach in the Western Division will make at least $4 million next season. That puts all of them among the nation’s top 25 in yearly salary.

“It’s a dog eat dog world,” Mississippi athletic director Ross Bjork said. “And you better be able to thrive in that environment.”

Bjork said he doesn’t see the skyrocketing coaching salaries slowing anytime in the near future, but he does believe that this year’s Western Division features a unique cocktail of seven established coaches who have all had previous success.

Sprinkle in a little free market economics and the cost

of business has soared.

First-year SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said there’s a simple reason for the one-upmanship: These seven coaches are worth it. “ W h e n you’re in a competitive marketplace, those are the outcomes when universities make independent decisions,” Sankey said.

The collective shrug at rising coaching salaries is the product of a seemingly endless stream of revenue.

The entire league has been transformed by the year-old SEC Network, and cameras are ubiquitous in every corner of the league’s preseason showcase. An influx of cash from the network — which helped push the league’s revenue total to a record $455 million split between 14 schools — has helped make huge coaching salaries more palatable for athletic departments.

“When you believe you have the right person in charge, you feel it’s a wise investment,” Bjork said. “... Obviously, there’s going to be someone who finishes last this year in the SEC West. That program will have a coach that makes

at least $4 million. But the expectation is even if there’s a down year, there is an infrastructure in place to bounce back quickly.”

All seven coaches in the division are established, including two — Alabama’s Nick Saban and LSU’s Les Miles — who have won national championships. Saban was hired for $4 million per year in 2007 — a number that seemed ludicrous at the time — and now makes about $7 million annually, which is tops in the country.

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze and Mississippi State’s Mullen both led their respective programs to prestigious bowls last season and at one point both programs were ranked in the nation’s top five.

Sumlin has won 28 victories over three seasons. Auburn’s Gus Malzahn has won 18 over two.

FILE PHOTO : CADY HERRING

Arkansas’ Bret Bielema had a rude introduction to his SEC career, losing his first 13 league games. But he had previous success at Wisconsin and the Razorbacks took a huge step forward last year with back-to-back shutout wins over LSU and Ole Miss and then a dominant victory over rival Texas in the Texas Bowl.

The rapid rise of Ole Miss and Mississippi State — both financially and on the field — has helped tighten a Western Division that has been dominated by traditional powers Alabama, Auburn and LSU since the league split into two

divisions in 1992.

The Rebels paid coach Ed Orgeron about $900,000 in 2007. Freeze received an extension in the offseason that bumped his average salary to more than $4 million and extends through 2018.

“You’ve got really good coaches — great coaches really — who have achieved things that are unique considering the recent history of those programs. Now there’s a desire to keep them in place,” Sankey said.

But money spent doesn’t necessarily mean more national championships. The SEC won seven straight titles from 2006 to 2012 — including five by Western Division teams — but Florida State and Ohio State have been champions the past two seasons.

Expectations are nothing new in college football, but even by the West’s lofty standards, there is an abundance of optimism.

Ole Miss received even more recognition for their incredible upset of Alabama last night on ESPN’s annual award show, the ESPYS.
