HOOVER, Ala.- The media frenzy that is SEC Media Days continued Wednesday as Missouri, LSU and Arkansas were represented by their head coaches and three student athletes.

Wednesday started off as rule changes were presented by Steve Shaw, SEC coordinator of officials.

Shaw announced that there have been changes to the targeting rule. If the replay overturns a targeting foul called, there will not be a 15-yard penalty assessed at the end of the play.

“We had to change player behavior,” Shaw said.

Another rule change has been made to hits on passers. The rule is a passer cannot be hit below the knees when in the passing stance and/or motion. Shaw would add that there is now a “strike zone” for quarterbacks, which are hits above the neck and below the knees.

One SEC official crew will have en eighth official to be a center judge and make sure the refs are ready before the ball is snapped.

Shaw said this is only an experiment to help the pace of the game for the officials.

Missouri: Missouri had a magical season in 2013 going 12-2 overall, 7-1 in conference play and winning the

SEC East. They would end up losing to Auburn in the SEC championship game.

Expectations are high for Missouri in 2014 as head coach Gary Pinkel and the Tigers look to continue their recent success.

“When we go into a different year, as the years change, in ’13 to’14, you lose your seniors, you

bring new players in, it’s a constant transition of the leadership and changes of the team. That’s what we work on all the time at Missouri,” Pinkel said. “We’re very excited about the year. We’ve worked very hard. We’re honored to be in the SEC.” Missouri lost their star wide receiver from 2013 in Dorial Green-

Beckham after being dismissed from the team in April. He has since decided to attend the University of Oklahoma. Losing Green-Beckham is a big loss for the receiving core and will change the offensive game plan.

There are plenty of on-campus dining options at Ole Miss, but an overwhelming majority of those options are either unused or unknown to students.

Many students feel like the quality of the food is poor, and they opt not to purchase meal plans after their freshman year.

“The food options on campus are not good enough for me to want to spend that much money on a meal plan when I can buy better food throughout Oxford,” Lane Murphy, senior education major said.

Students have options for meal plans each year, but nutritional awareness and complaints of food not being fresh have regularly led to a decrease in student involvement at dining halls and restaurants on campus.

All incoming freshmen at Ole Miss are required to choose a meal plan for their first year.

There are several options, ranging in cost from $1,110 to $1,575 per semester.

Upperclassmen are not required to purchase a meal plan, but they are allotted 200 “Flex” dollars per semester through their tuition, which can be used at any dining location on campus.

Since many upperclassmen have Flex dollars at their disposal, they choose not to spend extra money on a meal plan.

“Since we basically get $400 a year included through our tuition, I have never purchased a meal plan after my freshman year,” Murphy said.

In addition to Flex dollars providing enough for nonfreshmen, several students have indicated that the freshness of the food on campus is a major factor in neglecting to purchase meal plans.

Put down the gaydar

BY CHARLES MCCRORY crmccror@go.olemiss.edu

I am a gay man. If you’ve ever spent time with me, you probably already know this. If you’ve merely seen me around, you might also “know” this. Maybe I’m employing hand gestures while talking to a friend in the Student Union; maybe I’m sitting on the O.U.T. bus with my legs crossed (and not the more acceptable ankle-overknee cross; think Dr. Melfi in The Sopranos). Any of these things could lead you to conclude that I’m gay; however, that I am, in fact, gay is not evidence of your deduction skills. These are elements of my gender expression, not my sexuality. Unfortunately, society at large tends to conflate the two: the concept of

“gaydar” suggests that a person’s mannerisms can set off an intuitive response in the observer, like a metal detector spotting a rare coin. Yep, definitely gay.

When I come out to certain people, they laugh goodnaturedly and say something like, “Yeah, I know.” This doesn’t offend me, any more than it would offend me for someone to assume I’m a writer because I carry a notebook around with me everywhere I go. These are simply facts about myself, and I’m not terribly concerned with what people think of me anyway.

But I am free to feel and act this way because I live with an incredible amount of privilege. I come from an accepting family, surround myself with culturally intelligent

You wouldn’t know from simply looking at my driver’s license that I’m any different from the white, heteronormative majority.

I would modulate my voice, keep my hands from flying about as I talk, sit on the bus with my knees parallel.

‘The Fault in Our Stars’ is not OK rwilson2@go.olemiss.edu

“The Fault in Our Stars” was released over two years ago. It was popular in 2012, and unfortunately, due to the release of the film, people who only read books that are adapted into movies are bringing back the craze.

Everywhere you go, someone is reading it. You get on Twitter, someone is tweeting about Augustus Waters. You go to a book store, and there is a whole table dedicated to this young adult cult novel.

The country is acting like this has been the only book released to the world in the past decade.

I cannot wrap my head around why people of all ages are obsessing over this story.

Yeah, I read it and saw the movie. Yes, I cried for the last 100 pages and the last hour of the movie. But when it was done, I was done. I put the book down, left the movie theater, moved on with my life.

There are so many great books that have affected me, and this is not one. There are millions and millions of books in this world, and this is the one to which we choose to flock? Anyone with a fifth grade education could read this. It doesn’t cause you to

think, it doesn’t strike up any emotions except sadness, it doesn’t portray any sort of relationship a sane human being would want to be in. “The Fault in Our Stars” is completely sub-par.

The story is exceedingly depressing. Many say the story portrays real life and our struggle, but I just don’t see it. Life is not like this at all, nor do I want it to be. I don’t want someone to tell me “OK” instead of the dozens of other words you could use to express affection.

Why are you saying you want a boy like Augustus Waters? First of all, he is a fictional male who plays too many video games, says sweet things every now and then, and sends occasionally witty text messages. Secondly, he dies. He actually dies, and you are left alone. Though Hazel Grace looks happy and strong at the end of the story,

it shuts off before you can see what she has to deal with for the rest of her days. Most people in this situation would be prescribed a hefty dose of Prozac to be able to keep trucking through life.

My biggest problem with this franchise is the movie adaptation. They barely showed any affection between Hazel Grace and Augustus, which, in a love story, is a bit odd.

The movie portrayed their relationship’s growth through images of them texting back and forth, with cheesy handdrawn text clouds constantly popping up on the screen.

The book also at least portrayed the characters going to each other’s homes all the time and some interaction with their families. The last thing the herd of 14-year-old girls seeing this movie needs is to believe texting is going to create this great, tragic love story.

UM concert singers return Blues festival from European tour preserves culture

The University Concert Singers pose at a performance at Melk Abbey in Austria.

BY TORI WILSON vrwilson@go.olemiss.edu

On May 14, the University Concert Singers set off on a tenday concert tour of Europe. The tour began with a stay in the city of Leipzig, Germany; the choir sang in the Thomaskirche, a church famed as the employer and eventual resting place of Johann Sebastian Bach.

In Berlin, the choir sang at the Berliner Dom accompanied by an organ with over 7000 pipes — the largest in Germany when it was installed in 1905. The choir also performed in Prague and Vienna, and sang excerpts from Verdi’s Requiem at the Terezin concentration camp in the Czech Republic. The performance in Terezin was informal and laden with emotion; the former concentration camp was originally populated by a number of artists and musicians, as it was intended to be a model community for personae non gratae of the German Nazis during World War II. A performance of Verdi’s Requiem was held for Red Cross officials who came to inspect the

camp in June of 1944 as proof that the camp provided inmates with good living conditions and a cultural education, led by people of their own ethnicity and background.

Kimberly Coleman, who graduated in May with a master’s degree in vocal performance, called the Europe tour a unique opportunity and a powerful learning experience for students.

“It is high praise for the University that they support students and professors in providing these kinds of opportunities to explore other cultures far away from our own little Oxford,” Coleman said, who sang a short but poignant solo during the impromptu Requiem performance.

Though the Europe tour was the final performance for several choir members who graduated in May, the remaining singers, as well as new students from the incoming freshman class, will begin work in the fall on new pieces.

Every year, choral conductors Donald Trott and Deborah Spurgeon work to provide the University Chorus and Concert Singers with a varied and challenging

repertoire. The choirs perform several concerts each semester, providing ample opportunities for the Ole Miss and Oxford communities to enjoy the fruits of many months of rehearsal and dedication.

In previous years, Trott, Spurgeon and the choral music department have hosted a number of guest composers, including Sara Graef and Eric Whitacre, and have explored every musical genre from classical to spirituals.

Last year’s offerings included the complete Requiem by Verdi and a concert featuring the music of Eriks Esenvalds, who came to the Ole Miss campus as a guest conductor. He worked extensively with the choral music department in preparation for the performance.

Though the choirs have yet to announce their fall repertoire, an extensive history of excellent performances indicates that this year’s offerings will surely surpass expectations. The fall choral concert, featuring the University Chorus and Women’s Ensemble, is on Oct. 16. It will be held at North Oxford Baptist Church at 7 p.m.

Today marks the beginning of the annual Oxford Blues Festival.

Now in its fifth year, the celebration of blues culture is expected to attract crowds of blues aficionados and festival-goers from across the nation.

The Oxford Blues Festival will continue into the weekend, spanning three days. Not only will live music be featured, but also the history and food that has nurtured blues culture will be showcased.

History plays a large role with the festival, especially concerning its venue. The performance stage will be located on the lawn of the Walton-Young house, a wellknown historic home located on University Avenue. It is property of the University of Mississippi Museum, which is a major sponsor of the event.

Blues culture is especially expressed during the event through food. Thursday night will include a Blues Food buffet for VIP ticket holders. The food will be served with association to blues song titles, like catfish for the song “Catfish Blues.” Other regional specialties will be served, such as hot tamales, chicken feet and cornbread.

The University of Mississippi Museum will have a large presence during the festival. It will host multiple events throughout the weekend, including a “Meet N Greet” on Thursday evening and three panel discussions Friday afternoon. The Meet N Greet will include Jeff Jenson, who will be heading up a performance that evening at 7:15. Friday’s panel discussions will be open to the public and features various experts on blues culture, including

artists, musicians and scholars.

Of course, the headlining performers and their music will take the spotlight. Thursday night will kick off a weekend of music with a performance from the Jeff Jenson Band. Friday and Saturday will be jam-packed with performances, with Redd Velvet and Tas Cru headlining Friday and Mr. Sipp taking over on Saturday.

Over ten other artists and bands will also be paying on the WaltonYoung property throughout the two days.

What is most important about the Oxford Blues Festival, however, is maintaining the rich culture that the North Mississippi region has cultivated. Oxford is the perfect location for such an event, with its ideal geography and historical background. Oxford’s close proximity to the Mississippi Delta and Memphis puts the town in the heart of blues country.

Not only will the Oxford Blues Festival provide nonstop entertainment, it will serve as an attraction for both Oxford and the University and educate festival-goers on the multiple aspects of blues culture. The education of others on blues music and the accompanying culture is hope that it can be preserved throughout generations to come.

Make sure to see the Oxford Blues Festival for yourself, starting today through Saturday night.

While all musical performances are paid-only events, free bluesthemed events are available, such as the UM Museum’s Blues Panels on Friday beginning at noon.

Look out for photos from this weekend’s performances in Tuesday’s edition of The DM.

Soaring enrollment creates demand for off-campus apartments, houses arladner@go.olemiss.edu

Oxford housing developers are scrambling to accommodate the increasing student population.

Last year, the university’s Oxford campus had a record high of almost 18,000 students.

That has led to more demand for off-campus housing.

New housing communities were built within the past two years. Several more are under construction, and at least one long-time housing complex is expanding. The developments feature many amenities popular with students: swimming pools, tanning beds, breakfast during finals week shuttles to campus and the Square, and fitness centers.

Susan Jennings, who oversees housing units at The Retreat in Oxford, said it is 100 percent leased for fall semester.

“We have 668 beds, 160 units, and we are glad that The University of Mississippi market has heartily accepted our cottage-style concept,” Jennings said.

Highland Square offers cottage-style homes and other types of housing. Morgan Martin, leasing and marketing manager for Highland Square, said the complex has 91 cottages, 39 houses, 44 town homes and 40 flats.

“We have 686 people living here right now. We have a total of 753 bedrooms in all,’’ Martin said.

Gavin Short, property manager at Highland Square, said that his company wants to be more than just housing for students.

“People rarely remember where they lived in college, but we want to be remembered,” Short said. “You’ll remember going to the Grove, going to the football games, and we hope the students will remember living in Highland Square.”

The Links development has been in Oxford for more than a decade, and is expanding. Skip Croft, superintendent at Lindsey Construction, is overseeing the expansion.

“The Links have been full for the last two years with a waiting list,” Croft said. “There are 216 more units being built right now, including 144 twobedroom units and 72 onebedroom units.”

The newest off-campus housing community is Faulkner Flats on Old Taylor Road.

Laurie Farris, regional property manager, said Faulkner Flats will have 264 units and nine different floor plans. She said 100 units have been leased so far.

Like other off-campus housing developments, Faulkner Flats will have many amenities for students.

“There are also going to be outside televisions where people can lounge,” Farris said.

“It’s going to be really resortlike.”

Apartment complexes are not the only option for students who seek off-campus living. Many students move off campus by renting homes with roommates.

Jillian Tumblin, junior paralegal major at Ole Miss, plans to lease a house for fall semester. Last year, she moved out of a condominium to The Retreat because it was brand new.

“They had a lot of great amenities that made living there a lot better,” Tumblin said.

Ryan Joachim, a junior hospitality management major, spent his sophomore year at The Hub because he said he wanted to be in “a cool place to live.” This year, he will rent a house with friends.

Tumblin and Joachim said they found their housing on their own and had no assistance from the university. Tumblin had friends who already lived at The Retreat. Joachim

The new basketball arena opens sometime this fall, and Phillips said it will be another place for students to eat.

“Once the new basketball arena is completed, we are planning on adding two new national brand restaurants inside,” Phillips said. “Again, I am not at liberty to say which ones right now because the contracts have not been worked out, but I think they will be places that students are familiar with. We think that the reception for all of our new additions will be positive.”

Phillips continued to say that he expects upperclassmen to become more involved in purchasing meal plans and eating on campus.

“I really believe that the number of upperclassmen that purchase meal plans will drastically increase once we make these new additions,” Phillips said. “We have so many options on campus now, and we’ve gotten some very positive feedback on the changes we’ve made re-

cently.”

Phillips said the addition of Panda Express in the Student Union has garnered the most praise from students.

“The new Panda Express is the best thing in the Student Union,” Robbins said. “I probably eat there more than I do any other place on campus.”

Since meal plans are not required for upperclassmen, Phillips believes improved food options are vital for the campus.

Otherwise, students will choose to eat off campus once they have used their Flex dollars.

The university is making an effort to offer not only a variety of choices, but also numerous options that offer healthy and nutritious value. Once the on-campus dining situation is improved, more students can be expected to eat on campus regularly.

The Inn at Ole Miss, the JC East, the Marketplace at The RC, Einstein Bros Bagels and Lenoir Dining are a few of the other options students have on campus.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss.

— A 28-year-old man was shot and killed just inside the door of Graceland Too, a 24-hour Elvis Presley tourist attraction in the northern Mississippi town of Holly Springs, authorities said Wednesday.

Marshall County Coroner Richard Anderson said Dwight David Taylor Jr., of Holly Springs, was pronounced dead shortly after police responded to a 911 call at 10:41 p.m. Tuesday.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports Anderson said Taylor died from a single, .45-caliber gunshot to the chest.

Anderson also confirmed the shooter was Paul MacLeod, owner and operator of the home-based attraction filled with Elvis memorabilia. MacLeod, a

continued from page 8 also be depth at the cornerback position with Derrick Jones and junior college transfer Tee Shepard coming in.

Safety Cody Prewitt will be the quarterback for the defense. The returning AllAmerican will look to build on his great 2013 where he had 71 total tackles and nine interceptions. The secondary is greatly capable of handling any passing attack throughout the SEC. Browning Stubbs - Yes, with respect to guys like Mike Marry, Joel Kight and Cameron Whigham, who have moved on from the program, this new Ole Miss defense should thrive this season. After receiving a six year of eligibility by the NCAA to play in 2014, Deterrian “D.T.” Shackelford looks to anchor the Rebel defense.

Shackelford will wear the famous No. 38 jersey this fall as he became a two-time recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award. Cody Prewitt returns at safety as a senior, and the Rebels hope that Robert Nkemdiche turns into the player they thought he could be when they recruited him.

4. How will Ole Miss utilize the running backs with the absence of Jeff Scott?

ing time last season, carrying the ball only 22 times for 124 yards. Look for Jordan Wilkins and Eugene Brazley to get some carries later in the season as well.

Browning Stubbs - In the upset win over LSU last October, Ole Miss got quite the spark from running back Jaylen Walton, who rushed for over 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. Walton did all of that in the absence of Jeff Scott, who was injured that game.

Walton, along with I’Tavius Mathers will fill in the void for Scott, who graduated last year. One wild card to look out for is redshirt freshman running back Jordan Wilkins. The young power back could be the next great Rebel running back if he can get a little time this season.

5. How will the new recruits fit into the system?

Dylan Rubino - Wide receiver Markell Pack will be playing for the West team in the 2015 Army All-American game in January. He shows great quickness and breakaway speed. He also has great hands and concentration. If he is not redshirted, look for him to make an immediate impact.

Browning Stubbs - While the Rebels didn’t have the stellar recruiting class that they had in 2013, they were still able to sign some quality players that can step in right away.

Freshman safety C.J. Hampton will be able to step in and learn a lot under Cody Prewitt. Middle linebacker Christian Russell is an explosive linebacker prospect who covers the field and makes plays in both run and pass support.

Dylan Rubino - The top two rushers for the Rebels will be I’tavius Mathers and Jaylen Walton. Mathers led Ole Miss in rushing with 563 yards on 95 carries and three touchdowns. Walton wasn’t far behind his running back counterpart, rushing for 523 yards on 113 carries with six touchdowns scored.

continued from page 1 best,” Pinkel said. “The most important thing, you make mistakes, you have a chance to learn lessons, and I think he will.”

Former defensive end Michael Sam made an impact not only on the Missouri football team and for the university, but also in American culture, being the first gay professional athlete to come out in the NFL. Pinkel knows how much Sam meant to the university.

“It was going to be much bigger than football or Missouri,” Pinkel said. “The societal influence. This is really important in terms of that.”

Sophomore quarterback Maty Mauk will take over the quarterback duties for the Tigers. Mauk replaced former starter James Franklin for four games after Franklin missed some time due to injuries. Mauk made his first start of the season against Florida and flourished from there on.

“Going into the week I had the opportunity to talk to the other players, like the wide receivers, and I told them to go out there and pretend like nothing ever happen and to believe in me,” Mauk said. “I also told them to give me a chance, and they did believe in me. That carried on ever since.”

LSU: Head coach Les Miles was quick to point out that his LSU Tigers have gone four straight season winning at least 10 games.

Miles went on to say that his team returns 16 starters: six on offense, seven on defense and three on special teams. LSU went 10-3 last season and look to improve in many areas on both sides of the ball.

“We’re a team that’s really on the cusp of an opportunity to win championships,” Miles said. “If you look at the three games we lost, turnovers played a very significant role. It’s an annual battle.

Certainly we have, in my opinion, the style of team that can win championships.”

Arkansas defensive end Trey Flowers speaks to the media at SEC Media Days, Wednesday, in Hoover, Ala.

build around, as La’el Collins and Jerald Hawkins “will be two of the finest tackles in our league.”

The quarterback spot will come down to a battle between Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris.

Miles said it will be competitive from start to finish and that offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will help develop both of his quarterbacks.

Year after year, Les Miles always seems to have a strong defense at his disposal. Having John Chavis for a sixth year at defensive coordinator, Miles said the defense will feature speedy linebackers, physical corners in Tre’Davious White and Rashard Robinson and a big, physical defensive line.

Miles is thankful for his time in Tigerland and looks to build something special.

“First of all, you have to have a great school,” Miles said. “I think the opportunity that we present in recruiting is a place where you’re going to get your degree, you’re going to play championship football, you’re going to play one in one of the historic venues in college football. I think you have to have one of those. I recognize how fortunate I’ve been to be at LSU for the length of time that I have.”

Arkansas: Head coach Bret Bielema would be the last head coach to address the media Wednesday.

When Bielema made the switch to come to Arkansas from Big 10

powerhouse Wisconsin, he wanted to win and change the culture.

Year one under Bielema was a difficult one for Arkansas, as they went 3-9 overall and going 0-8 in conference play. Bielema hopes year two is going to be a big improvement.

“I think the biggest thing I took away, especially after the season, is you have to be try to who you are, what you’ve been. Don’t flinch,” Bielema said. “There’s some teams that go through adversity, you know, for a sure team that doesn’t win a game in their conference, they’re going to change out philosophy, get a new idea, new this, new that. I believe you have to do what you do better.

“We’re going to stick to our principles and do it better.”

Arkansas returns star running back Alex Collins, starting quarterback Brandon Allen and defensive end Trey Flowers.

Trey Flowers decided to return to play for Bielema and Arkansas for his senior year. After going winless in SEC play, many questioned his decision, but he saw a vision and believes in what Bielema is building for the Razorbacks.

“I understand what we’ve been through the last two years,” Flowers said. “From my freshman year having an 11-win season, I understand what it takes to win. Just coming back to be a leader and help my team win is what it was.”

Mock SEC Media Days Q&A for 2014 season

BY DYLAN RUBINO & BROWNING STUBBS thedmsports@gmail.com

1. How will the wide-receiver position look this year?

Dylan Rubino - Laquon Treadwell will replace the role Donte Moncrief played as the star wideout just fine.

Treadwell has the potential to be one of the best wide receivers in the SEC and in the country.

After him, look for Quincy Adeboyejo to play the role of the slot receiver. He played in only two games as a true freshman last season and caught seven passes for 71 yards and one touchdown.

Look for receivers Cody Core, Collins Moore and Josh Johnson to play on the outsides with Treadwell and make plays for the Rebels.

Browning Stubbs - Expect a breakout season from

sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell after Donte Moncrief left for the NFL. Ranking third in catches in the SEC with 72 a season ago, Treadwell should surpass the 100-catch mark, as he should be the best receiver in the conference. One other name to look out for is incoming 4-star freshman wide receiver Markell Pack, who could make an impact like Treadwell did a season ago.

2. What to expect from Bo Wallace this season considering he is the most experienced quarterback in the SEC? Dylan Rubino - Wallace saw a quarterback specialist in the offseason to fix his throwing motion in order to have fewer passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. I think this will help him be a more effective passer and get the

ball out quicker, cleaner and more accurately for his wide receivers to make a play on the ball.

Wallace is one of the most experienced starting quarterbacks returning in the SEC, and he has a big chance to prove himself as truly one of 114 Courthouse Square

the best quarterbacks in the conference this season.

Browning Stubbs - Bo Wallace enters the 2014 campaign as the most experienced quarterback in the SEC. He is the only quarterback who has started two consecutive seasons. Wallace has the chance

to set a school record for total passing yards, which is held

by Eli Manning with 10,119 yards. Wallace would need to throw 3,779 to make that possible. Also, Wallace needs to cut down the interceptions if the Rebels want to advance to a Jan. 1 bowl game.

30257

Dylan Rubino - The pass rush is a spot the Rebels will look to improve on from last season. With C.J. Johnson coming back healthy and Robert Nkemdiche looking to improve from his freshman campaign, the pass rush should improve and be a bright spot for the defense and get pressure on opposing offenses.

Experience at the cornerback position will be huge with senior Senquez Golson and junior Mike Hilton looking to continue their great 2013 campaigns. There will See Q&A, PAGE 7
