Parking meters on the Square become operational today WILL CROCKETT

Parking meters installed on the Oxford Square will be activated today. The parking meters will be active from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. every day except for Sundays from now on. “The meters will operate at an hourly rate of a dollar per hour,” Oxford Parking Director Matt Davis said. “They’ll run 12 hours a day and roughly 300 days a year.” When asked why Oxford chose to install parking meters in the Square, Davis said it mainly came down to preventing cars from being left in a Square parking spot all day. “(The meters) keep the trend of people parking on the Square all day away,” Davis said. According to Davis, there are now roughly 300 to 315 parking meters installed on the Square. These meters PHOTO BY: CADY HERRING

Fraternity participates in ALS Ice Bucket Challenge MARY VIRGINIA PORTERA mvporter@go.olemiss.edu
Videos on social media of people doing the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” have been circulating in recent months, eliciting questions about the purpose behind the challenge. At The University of Mississippi, many students and faculty have gone above and beyond the challenge of simply soaking themselves with ice cold water and have really dove into the effort to support ALS research. For those that do not know exactly what ALS is, it stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is commonly known as
“Lou Gehrig’s Disease.” ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that acts quickly, causing motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain to die. This leads to the inability for movement by those people that have the disease. The patient is fully cognizant of what is happening to them and experiences the full physical pain and distress of ALS. At The University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, efforts are being made to research the disease. Dr. Alexander Auchus and Dr. Vettakikorumakankav Vedanarayanan of the neurology department are involved in research and support for ALS patients and

recently took the ice bucket challenge themselves in support of the movement. Furthermore, plans are developing for an ALS clinic at UMMC to treat patients specifically with ALS. Fundraising has increased in Mississippi this year, most likely from the exposure of the ice bucket challenge. Jamie Craig from the ALS Association of Louisiana and Mississippi said that, “from July 29 through Aug. 28, Mississippi residents gave $34,921 to our chapter.” She also added that “donations from Mississippians have certainly increased this year – due in large part to the Ice Bucket Challenge.”

According to Craig, the ALS association of Louisiana and Mississippi “has raised $177,000 since July 29 and raised $38,500 during the
same time period last year.” Craig mentioned that the Mississippi Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Theta at Ole Miss

Pump the brakes on Uber COLUMN
ROBERT MCAULIFFE
remcauli@go.olemiss.edu
Let’s get this out of the way: I’m no luddite. A cab company that offers lower-than-average fares and lets me call a cab with a smartphone app and pay with PayPal? My initial reaction is “sign me up!” As someone who doesn’t own a car, I’m always looking for new, cheap ways to get around town; however, it seems Uber is showing itself to be too unethical to get my business. Much has been made of the objections of taxi drivers and their union’s objections to Uber. The cynical have painted this opposition as a final gasp of a dying industry unwilling to innovate in the face of competition, but in fact, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Cab drivers who have filed suit against Uber have stated they welcome competition–after all, they face competition from other cab companies all the time and have T H E D A I LY

no problems with it. The difference with Uber, however, is that they are not competing on an even playing field. Uber uses a dirty loophole in order to outcompete other cab companies: it tries to claim that it is not, in fact, a cab company. Because they “crowdsource” their drivers, Uber — is a company that employs a fleet of drivers who work on-call to drive customers from point A to point B — claims they should not be held to the same standards as other taxi fleets. Increasingly, this is being shown to be a baldfaced anticompetitive trick. By every legal definition, they should be considered a cab company, but by evading this definition, Uber is able to outcompete other taxis by refusing to submit to state and federal regulations placed upon taxi companies. Cost-cutting measures like these allow Uber to charge such low fares, but its hidden cost comes in the form of harm to public safety and unfair competition
against taxi drivers.These regulations ensure that cabs are accountable, safe and their drivers are paid a fair wage. Uber is able to get away with not paying insurance for any of their drivers or cabs nor submitting to metropolitan regulations on cab operations. While this may be less of a problem in Oxford, in large cities like Seattle, it has caused city councils to attempt to ban the service in the interest of protecting consumers and safeguarding the wages of taxi drivers. Already, Uber has refused liability in a San Francisco lawsuit raised by the parents of Sofia Liu, a six-year-old girl killed by an Uber driver. In addition to their anti-competitive legislation-skirting actions, Uber has shown itself to be determined to sabotage even its fellow ride-sharing competition. Media website The Verge uncovered an intentional corporatedirected sabotage by Uber of its competition service, Lyft. Calling it “Operation SLOG,” Uber has hired a dedicated team to recruit

Lyft drivers by calling in fake rides and attempting to pay them off in order not to fulfill their obligations. The recruiters make even more money if they are able to convince the Lyft drivers to work for Uber. While Lyft uses many of the same anti-competitive practices as Uber and places an outrageously tacky pink mustache on their cars (a damning offense to my aesthetic sensibilities), this is just more proof of Uber’s commitment to cutthroat capitalism. I won’t begrudge anyone for using Uber. After all, it’s cheaper and some who feel unsafe in normal taxis prefer it. Personally, I will not be using this new service in solidarity with the working class cab drivers throughout the country upon whose livelihood Uber unfairly encroaches. If Uber wants to be allowed to compete, then it must play by the same rules as everyone else. Robert McAuliffe is a junior international studies major from St. Louis.

continued from page 1 were installed in places that Davis described as “premium, up front spots” within the Square. Hypothetically, if one were to park on the Square all day during a weekday, they would be able to pay and leave their car all day without issue. However, on a football gameday, that won’t be an option. “On game day people will be limited to parking on the Square to only three hours at a time,” Davis said. This rule is in place to prevent people from parking on the Square on a Saturday, heading to the Grove, and then leaving their cars overnight and picking them up on Sunday. With all of these meters in place, the question of how much revenue the meters will bring in is one that even Davis is not absolutely sure of yet. “We have a breakdown, we don’t know for sure yet, but we have estimates,” Davis said. “We do know that if all parking spaces with meters are occupied for 50 percent of the year then the revenue that would come from that would be roughly $500,000.” While the parking meters are expected to keep people from leaving their cars in spots for long periods of time, not everyone is pleased with the new meters. Morgan Cannon, senior business management major from Greenwood, feels the meters will affect businesses on the Square. “I don’t like them,” said Cannon, who works as a cashier at Hinton & Hinton. “I feel that people looking to shop along the Square won’t want to have to pay to park there, that they’ll have to spend more time looking for other areas to park and then walk to where they want to go.” Other students have taken issue with the parking meters as well.
Hayden Poer, freshman business administration and management major from Madison, does not like the idea of having to pay to park on the square but can see why it is being done. “I really don’t like it, but at the same time the money that’s being made is obviously going to the city to make improvements, so that I can understand,” Poer said. “I think it’s kind of ridiculous that on game days people will only be able to park for three hours at a time. That just doesn’t seem right.” While some people are displeased with the thought of having to pay to park on the Square, Davis feels people will still have numerous places to park without paid meters. “We actually still have a variety of free lots,” Davis said. The lots Davis listed that won’t require payment to park around the Square included a lot by the Oxford University Club, two lots behind Oxford City Hall, a lot behind Old Venice Pizza Co., as well as multiple lots along 14th Street. Parking meters can be paid with cash, coins or cards.

continued from page 1 has been the leading fundraiser on campus. “The Phi Delts have been a wonderful partner. They have organized events and raised funds for us for several years. This year, a Phi Delt brother from Mississippi State was diagnosed with ALS, so the guys have a more personal reason to join in the fight.” William Kneip, junior public policy leadership major and philanthropy chairman for the Mississippi Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Theta, discussed their role in support of ALS fundraising and research. “Phi Delta Theta has a unique partnership with the ALS Association in honor
of our brother and baseball great, Lou Gehrig, who died from ALS. For many years now we have been driven by our chapter’s commitment to service and by those who have worked hard to raise both awareness and money for the ALS Association. In the past two years alone we have raised over $40,000. “These funds help support individuals and their families in our community through consultation and monetary needs among many other benefits the association offers.” Sparky Reardon, dean emeritus and advisor for Phi Delta Theta, expressed his satisfaction with all Phi Delta Theta has done to support ALS patients. “I am proud of Mississippi Alpha and of all of the Phi
Delta Theta chapters in the United States and Canada for all that they have done to support ALS research.” Reardon also discussed the special circumstances of this year. Ralph Doxey Jr., the Phi Delt brother from Mississippi State, is a close friend of the Mississippi Alpha chapter and was recently diagnosed with ALS. Mississippi Alpha took the Ice Bucket Challenge a few weeks ago and dedicated it to Doxey Jr. Craig urges everyone to do what they can to support those with the disease. “Every single dollar makes a difference,” Craig said. “Whether it’s $25 or $39,000 – it makes a difference in the work we are doing and in the lives of people affected by ALS.”

Movie Review: ‘As Above, So Below’
COLTON HERRINGTON cjherri1@go.olemiss.edu
It’s “National Treasure” meets “The Descent,” and it’s just as bad as the image you have in your head of Nicholas Cage outsmarting vicious subterranean humanoids one American history factoid at a time. Okay, maybe not that bad. From director John Erick Dowdle, “As Above, So Below” has a lot of potential to be a top-notch supernatural thriller, but the unique premise is squandered and misguided. The movie begins with an intense introduction of the film’s heroine, Dr. Scarlet Marlowe (Perdita Weeks) – a one-dimensional combination of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft – uncovering an artifact in Iranian tunnels. Said arti-
fact sets the plot in motion as Scarlet finds her way to Paris in search of the fabled philosopher’s stone. As the plot unfolds, Scarlet and her team – which includes her old flame George (Ben Feldman) – discover the stone is buried in the catacombs beneath Paris, directly under the grave of fourteenth century alchemist Nicolas Flamel (Recognize the name, Harry Potter fans?). So, like any answerseeking adventurer, Scarlet convinces everyone to pursue the stone into the unchartered depths of the catacombs. Does this sound like a supernatural thriller yet? If you’re thinking no, then that’s because the first half essentially feels like a knock-off Dan Brown novel. The horror doesn’t kick in full-force until well into the second half when they inad-
vertently stumble upon the gates of Hell after discovering what Scarlet thinks is the stone. Even then, the Hell they encounter isn’t even that hellish. Yes, demonic ghouls make brief appearances, but this Hell is more like “American Horror Story: Coven” where you simply experience a painful or guilt-ridden encounter from your past. Even worse, after building an admittedly impressive amount of suspense, the deaths are decidedly anticlimactic. The only creative death–and the only one directly connected to any character’s past–can be seen in the previews for the film. The other deaths mainly go like this: “Oh, no! Unimportant-secondary-character is dead! Let’s keep moving.” Apparently, Hell isn’t as inventive as we’ve been led to believe.
To add to the confused mess that is the plot, the Hermetic concept of “As Above, So Below” is introduced with Scarlet’s tangled explanation inspiring laughs rather than understanding. The characters enter a dimension mirroring the real world, and I find myself wondering, where is this going? This is precisely the problem with the film. There are a lot of ideas, even good ones, but there’s no di-

rection and cohesion. At any given moment, the film straddles the lines between several different genres. It would have benefited from going in one direction rather than attempting to go in all of them. I get it, though. American audiences have become disconnected from just going to the movies. We’re choosier than ever, and for us to leave the comfort of our couches and Netflix accounts, we’ve got to have a valid reason. In this case, the film tried too hard to authenticate itself and to prove to its audience that it deserved to be made. The world-building skills touted in the film were a pleasant surprise for the genre. For once, I wasn’t berated with sudden blasts of information that validated someone being killed. The film knew its stuff and had fun sharing it. While the ambition of the filmmakers can be lauded, ultimately, the film failed be-

continued from page 4 cause it reached too far and never gave the audience anything substantial to hold on to. Yes, the ride was fun at times. I found myself cringing with anticipation at the screen and eager to see where the plot would go next. But the plot never went anywhere. It took me into the catacombs, and I’m still wandering around, trying to find a sewing kit to tie up all the loose ends. I guess I should be gentler given the genre, but the beginning started out too strong to fizzle out like it did in the end. Either way, if you get a craving for a supernatural adventure thriller, I guess this’ll do.

The Rebels had no trouble finding the net in a 5-1 win with a hat trick from sophomore forward and midfielder Addie Forbus, along with two assists, as Ole Miss (2-1-1) defeated Louisiana-Lafayette (2-2-0) in a blowout at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium. After a tough loss in Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday, the Rebels returned to Oxford to get back into a winning spirit. Forbus and junior defender Jessica Hiskey combined to score the five goals. Forbus had the two assists on both of Hiskey’s goals. Freshman midfielder Liza Harbin assisted Forbus on two of her three goals. “Addie (Forbus) was really good for us, but it really started with out backs and midfielders picking up the ball and

finishing her in space,” said Matt Mott, Ole Miss soccer head coach. “It was good to get Sam Sanders back in the back line for us and settle things down.” The Ragin’ Cajuns opened up the scoring in the first minute when senior goalkeeper Kelly McCormick’s pass was taken by sophomore forward Yazmin Montoya who passed to freshmen forward Danielle DeRosa for a 1-0 lead. “We just were a little too relaxed with the ball.

continued from page 6 enough to start, but I think that certainly woke us up and got us playing,” Mott said. The Rebels fired back with pressure and scored the equalizer in the 14th minute. After a series of corners in quick succession on the third one, Hiskey headed in a goal from Forbus’s corner kick. The Rebels continued to keep heavy pressure on the Ragin’ Cajuns in the first half. Forbus scored her first goal of three in the 27th minute to take the lead. Forbus scored off of a cross from Harbin right to her in the penalty box. Shortly after in the 33rd minute, Forbus scored again from an almost identical cross to Forbus in the penalty box burying the goal for the Rebels. Going into halftime, the Rebels owned a 3-1 lead over the Ragin’ Cajuns. The Reb-
els defense held LouisianaLafayette to only four shots in the first half while the Rebel offense had 14 shots on goal. The Rebels continued the onslaught of goals in the second half, with a fourth goal in the 50th minute. Forbus found Hiskey’s head again on a corner kick to give the Rebels a 4-1 lead. Forbus once again found the back of the net for the hat trick goal in the 85th minute and sealed the victory for the Rebels. “It was time for Ole Miss soccer to start scoring some goals,” Forbus said. “I knew that once we got the first goal they were going to start rolling.” The Rebels return to the field Friday at 7 p.m. against a strong Minnesota team in the Rebel Classic. The Rebels will be ready for revenge, as they fell to Minnesota last season. They will close out the weekend with a Sunday game against Memphis at 7 p.m.

continued from page 8 when we didn’t have any of that,” Freeze said. “Obviously, I was disappointed. I was disappointed for him. He wants to do better than anybody, and I’m not going to beat him up over it. The guy has done a lot of great things for us and played a really good second half the other night. We just have to keep coaching him and making sure on Thursday, like we always do, that he understands each package.” One of the unexpected stars from Thursday’s game was punter Will Gleeson. Gleeson, who’s originally from Australia, was playing in his first American football game. Gleeson was able to get three of his four kicks downed inside the twenty and booted a 70 yard punt for his longest of the day. “I was nervous, but there was great intensity and a lot of fans came out,” Gleeson said. Freeze talked about several
true freshmen that performed well in Thursday’s game, such as linebacker Demarquis Gates, defensive backs A.J. and C.J. Moore and others. “(Demarquis) Gates and the Moore twins were phenomenal on special teams. I thought Kendarius Webster was really solid at his corner position,” Freeze said. “Markell Pack didn’t show any signs of fear returning punts and a few snaps on offense. I didn’t get Rod Taylor in nearly as much as we needed to. We will this week. C.J. Hampton was solid.” Freeze went on to address his next opponent, the Vanderbilt Commodores, who are coming
off a 37-7 upset loss to the Temple Owls. “I’m sure they are making corrections, and I expect it to be an SEC fight like all are,” Freeze said. “Our kids have to be prepared to go to Nashville and hopefully get a second road win of the year. The defensive front for them is very talented, very physical, as are their linebackers.” “We’re not going to overlook them. We’ll get them ready. It’s an SEC football game on the road,” Freeze continued. “I’ve been impressed with Coach Mason as I’ve seen him around those meetings. I know he’ll have his guys ready to go.”
