The Oxford Police Department issued citations to new ride-sharing service Uber over the weekend, saying the vehicles violated the city’s taxi ordinance. The ordinance regarding vehicles for hire was amended in July. Police Chief Joey East said the amount of citations for illegal taxis that were given out over the weekend is something that is not common for Oxford. “As you see we haven’t made a lot of these in the past, but we are trying to kind of step up our awareness,” East said. East explained that when there is a violation of the ordinance the vehicle is considered an illegal taxi and the driver will be given a citation called a post arrest, similar to a speeding ticket. “It is an arrestable offense, but the officer will more than likely write them a ticket,” East said. “If they catch that same person doing it again, then more than likely they’ll
be arrested the next time.” East said Oxford has a lot of cab companies that come from outside of the city, especially during game day weekends and this ordinance is a way to help regulate those who are going to be doing business with students and citizens. East said on top of the outside companies coming in for game day weekends, Oxford is seeing an influx of Uber drivers whose services do not fit in with the ordinance. “I would say the majority of illegal taxis were Uber,” East said. “There’s a lot of things that they have to come in compliance for them to operate as a taxi.” When asked about the drivers involved with the citations, Kaitlin Durkosh of Uber Communications, said as a matter of policy Uber takes riders’ and drivers’ privacy seriously and will not disclose their private information. “I can tell you that Uber vigorously defends the rights of our driver partners, and will cover the costs of unjust citations,” Durkosh said. “Any

Center hosts program for first-generation students FERDERICA COBB

The Center for Student Success and First Year experience will host a meet and greet today for firstgeneration college students who might be interested in their Students First Program. First-generation college students are students whose parents do not have a college degree. Being the first in their family to obtain a college degree is a great accomplishment for first-generation students, but it can be a challenge. John Aaron Howell from Bentonia, says that people from his small town rarely attend college, and especially not a four-year university.
“Being a first-generation college student is, I’d say, more challenging than being a second or third-generation college student because we don’t have the role models to look up to; if we have questions, we basically have to answer them on our own,” Howell said. The university, however, especially the Office of Admissions and the Center for Student Success and First Year Experience, has been very helpful in assisting Howell and making sure that being a first-generation student did not hinder him. Dylan Lewis, a sophomore from Mooreville, said being a first-generation student motivates him and makes him more determined: “It really gives me the opportunity to
push myself more and prove that I can do it.” Ruben Ruiz, a senior, said being a first-generation student has advantages as well as disadvantages: “(Being a first-generation student) is neat in the fact that I get to blaze my own trail, experiencing and learning everything for myself but daunting because I didn’t know what to expect or everything that was available to me,” Lewis said. The Center for Student Success and First Year Experience assists first-generation students through their StudentsFIRST (Freshman Interactively Reaching Success Together) program. Crystal Dunn, coordinator of the program and former first generation student, says that the program was created
after noticing that a large portion of students at Ole Miss were first-generation students and that they did not have many resources available to them for guidance. The main focus of StudentsFIRST is to help freshmen transition into college by informing them of the resources at their fingertips, helping them to get involved, and by providing peer mentoring and other programs to help them have a successful first year. Last year the program attracted a diverse range of students from different backgrounds. Dunn wants students who are the first of their family members to attend college to be open about their experience. “Don’t be afraid to ask questions,” Dunn said. “It’s also im-
portant for them to know that they are not alone and that there are a lot of first generation students here, and they’re all here for the same goal, which is to earn a college degree.” The biggest challenge these students face is financial difficulties, and Dunn hopes the program will eventually be able to directly assist with this, but said it will only be possible through gaining more university support for this program. According to the Office of Institutional Research, approximately seventeen percent of last year’s students attending Ole Miss were first generation students. The meet and greet will be held today from noon -1 p.m. in the third floor conference room in Martindale.

Proper punishment for pros PARSA RAFATIAN

On Monday morning, TMZ released video footage of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice assaulting his former fiancée — now wife — in an elevator. The couple seemed to be having an argument in the video, and before the doors to the elevator can even close, Rice slaps her. Rice then knocks his wife unconscious with a single punch to the face, and proceeds to drag her out of the elevator. Domestic violence is unacceptable on all levels of today’s society, so why do we provide exceptions for such behavior for our professional athletes? Rice’s is one of the latest cases of soft punishment for domestic violence. To the outrage of many, Rice was suspended for a mere two games after he was charged with felony aggravated assault after knocking his then-fiancée unconscious in an elevator. For this offense, his punishment is a slap on the wrist compared to the one-year T H E D A I LY

suspension Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon received for failing a marijuana test. Fans were angered even more by the laughable suspension served to Rice after watching the horrific video. The NFL took notice. The Baltimore Ravens released their prized running back the same day as the shocking video surfaced. Whether or not his release was correlated with the video’s release is unknown; regardless, it is definitely a long stride in the right direction compared to the baby steps taken in recent years. The NFL’s policies on domestic violence are clearly too soft, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell admitted he made a mistake in only suspending Rice two games. He claimed he felt boxed in by the precedent set by previous cases, and believed the punishment should have instead been at least a six game suspension. Although that has no effect on the suspension already given
to Rice, it is refreshing to know the NFL is re-evaluating and harshening its domestic violence policies — but how long is an “adequate” suspension? Many citizens face fines, jail time, and restraining orders as a penalty for domestic violence, but professional athletes — not limited to the NFL — are often facing heavy charges with surprisingly lenient discipline. Because many of us are fans and find sports as a source of entertainment, naturally many people don’t want to see their favorite players off the court or field, but are we so star struck that we try to justify athletes’ violent habits off the job? In 2012 alone, there were 21 NFL teams that held at least one player with assault or domestic violence charges. As soft as consequences have been for these types of charges in professional sports in recent years, policies might be starting to change after all. Goodell ruled to suspend Rice indefinitely after viewing the video proof of his assault. It

remains to be seen whether his suspension will be the heftier (but still very kind) six games, or a punishment that rides more along the lines of the entire season. Though an entire season’s suspension without pay seems as if it would be a harsh punishment for a professional athlete, a no-tolerance message needs to be delivered to players in order for these assault cases to dwindle and hopefully end, if not due to a shift in the way the players treat women, then at least in the way they perceive how that behavior would be perceived and responded to by their employers. Ray Rice will be made an example of, and may teach other athletes that professional athletic programs will not condone such acts of violence. However long the suspension is determined, the NFL made great progress on Monday. Parsa Rafatian is a sophomore from Oxford.

continued from page 1 attempt to limit competition and restrict consumer choice only harms the people of Oxford trying to make a living and move around their city safely.” East said the department is having officers concentrate on enforcing the taxi ordinance because it is a way to keep individuals safe. “The biggest thing we want to do is keep students and the citizens safe,” he said. “We are worried that someone could get picked up, thinking they are getting in a vehicle with a licensed taxi company and some crime be committed.” Alderman Jay Hughes of Ward 1 said the amendments to the original ordinance were voted on due to multiple complaints of taxi services overcharging, having excessive fees on football weekends, robbery, theft and physical assault. The people who are driving to pick up people who are uti-
lizing the Uber application are providing transportation in exchange for a fee and therefore they are under the vehicle for hire ordinance, according to Hughes. Hughes said it is necessary for taxi services to register to do business, engage in background checks and provide security cameras and insurance. “If anyone provides someone else a ride in exchange for something of value or an expectation of a tip then they must meet the vehicle for hire ordinance in Oxford,” Hughes said. “If they do not do that we will enforce them.” Hughes said the amendments are going to be a very positive change for the public and for the taxi services themselves. “The ordinance is there to protect the passengers, the students and the residents here just as much as the drivers,” Hughes said.

An exhibition of the Kelley Sharp’s oil paintings, titled “Constitution Lakes,” will be featured at Southside Gallery on the Square until Sept. 27. No stranger to Oxford or Southside, Sharp completed her Master of Fine Arts degree at The University of Mississippi and worked at Southside during her time in Oxford. Currently, Sharp lives in Atlanta and has recently become a full time artist who specializes in commissioned portraits. Sharp’s works also include landscapes, drawings and even mixed media pieces using fabric and hair. “Constitution Lakes” includes 15 of Sharp’s pieces: a mix of oil on canvas and oil on linen. It also includes pieces inspired by the Constitution Lakes Nature Preserve in Atlanta. Sharp began this series when a friend invited her to explore Atlanta’s forests. Sharp describes the preserve as “a beaten path off an industrial area where you can find a hidden gem of a forest and a lake.” Sharp based her pieces on the directional elements of the trees and the patterns they created in the forest. “I have been in the forest a hundred times, but this was amazing, the trees were so vertical,” Sharp said. A bit of a departure from her normal work, Sharp completed the collection by playing with the natural repetition of the trees and colors of the forest. “When doing so many paintings, you have to keep inventing more directional movements,”
she said. Sharp’s paintings are of nature but carry a modern, linear concept. Southside Gallery has exhibited local, regional and international artists since 1993 and are especially excited to exhibit Sharp’s work. “We are thrilled to have Kelley exhibiting at Southside and have great respect for her and her work,” gallery assistant Anna Benefield said. “Our past association with Kelley makes this a very special exhibit.” When asked to describe Sharp’s current exhibit, Benefield was impressed with the direction of this series. “The paintings have the feel of abstract forest ‘scapes,’” she said. Owned by Vickie M. Cook, the gallery encourages the Oxford area art enthusiast to visit Sharp’s exhibit as well as those of the other featured artists for the fall. Catherine Holman, a current senior at The University of Mississippi finishing her degree in studio art, is excited to see Sharp’s exhibit. “Teachers, grad students and everyone in the art department offer lots of insight on how to stay connected in Oxford’s art community,” Holman said. “It’s nice to see someone like Kelley Sharp who has an Ole Miss background being featured at the local gallery.” “Constitutional Lakes” is free and open to the public for viewing until Sept 27. Sharp will be at the reception for her exhibition from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. Thursday.

Cards and controllers and consoles: OMGA CLARA TURNAGE
scturna1@go.olemiss.edu
Playing cards litter the tables between junk food and laptops, on which students beat rhythmically. Others stand and wander amongst the overcrowded tables, comparing not only their days, but gaming news and tactics in different systems. The conversations wander to other topics; loud expressions reaching over the hubbub describe problems and accomplishments among the gamers. Bystanders watch matches between friends or curl up in chairs to begin games of their own. One student looks increasingly interested in his screen as his fingers flutter between the keys. What’s he doing? “Oh, just conquering Asia,” freshman William Hicks replies. Hicks is playing Europa Universalis IV4, just one of the many activities going on in the tight area. A voice calls the ruckus to attention as president “Cookie” Chris Williams stands and begins the first annual meeting of the Ole Miss Gamers Association, fondly known as OMGA. The gamers association is one of the many associations on the university’s campus, and certainly one of the more inimitable ones. Like any other organization, it is full of interested people and their diverse likes and dislikes. Centered is the love of gaming; no particular game is played. Rather, anything and everything is welcome. “OMGA is generally a social group,” Williams said. “We try our best to bring in people from the Ole Miss area who are involved in gaming as well as the Northern Mississippi area such as Lafayette County, Southaven and Tupelo. We even have some people who come down from Memphis to play games with us. Basically, all we do is we play games.” OMGA was founded in 2006, but Williams said the group beginnings reached back to 2005. “Back in 2005, a group of gamers were kind-of at the time being led by a professor here on campus,” Williams said. “He and a group of his friends who were mostly tabletop RPG-ers formed an organization that became official in 2006.” Though the association began around role-playing games (RPGs) with a limited number of players, it has developed to include a plethoric selection of games and has grown yearly. “It started out as a place for people who were into mostly an RPG setting to get together, have fun and play tabletop RPGs,” Williams said. “It grew more; we ended up getting a lot more card gamers and board gamers. We got a lot of people
who were mainly into just video games. We kept on growing by what people were interested in, and because of that, people continued to make friends.” Now, the library of games available include Magic the Gathering, Monopoly, Yu-GiOh!, Clue, Risk, Mario Kart and a seemingly endless supply of others. The group has come to represent many things, but members agreed that it provides an evening of relaxation between demanding classes and hectic school days. “I am an international studies major, and we have a lot of stress put on us,” said Margaret Simonson, junior and second year member of the gamers association. “I like, on one night a week, to be able to just shed all of my responsibilities and just to play video games or card games and not have to worry about school.” “It’s a great stress reliever and it’s a good way to meet people,” said Alex Waters, sophomore mechanical engineering major and second-year member. The association represents a diversity that is innate, if understated, on the university’s campus. “There’s a lot to get when coming to college,” Williams said. “Having different environments and organizations that are allowing people to enjoy the things they already do is a good way for people to still get involved without actually taking away from who they really are. It’s always good to try stuff that’s new.” Any Wednesday night at 7, the Union becomes a little more than it was only hours before. To members of the gamers association, it becomes a hub for students and members to see people who share their

Rebel offense improves as Bo Wallace improves DYLAN RUBINO
thedmsports@gmail.com
It was his most efficient game of the season Saturday. In his final season as the starter for Ole Miss, senior quarterback Bo Wallace didn’t even play the whole game. He was taken out in the third quarter and replaced by redshirt freshman Ryan Buchanan. Saturday was the secondstraight game where the senior threw for over 300 yards, completing 23 of 30 passes for 320 yards in only two-and-a-half quarters of action. Wallace is very familiar with the Nashville area. His hometown of Pulaski, Tennessee, is just over an hour from the Nashville area. Playing in Nashville was a great moment for Wallace. “I love playing here. It’s fun for me to come up here. At the same time, it’s just a game,” Wallace said. “More people I know get to see me play in person, but I don’t think there’s any more pressure.” Wallace was in complete control of the offense Saturday and appeared to be the quarterback that head coach Hugh Freeze envisioned him to be this season.

remains to be seen. “I’m just relaxing and playing ball,” Wallace said. “I don’t think it’s the best I’ve ever played or anything like that. I’m just trying to put points up and trying to win games.” The quickness, depth and athleticism of the defense this season is something that the Rebels haven’t had since Wallace began his tenure in Oxford. The Rebel defense is something other Southeastern Conference powers have; the ability to plug guys in when starters go down and have the same productivity the player above them on the depth chart had. The defense has given up 16 points in their first two games to start the 2014 campaign. Since Wallace has been the starting quarterback for Ole Miss, the offense was put in tight spots to score a staggering amount of points to win games. With the level the defense is playing at now, there is no pressure for the offense to score a lot of points. “We don’t really need to think about it. We know we have a great defense. They keep getting us possession,” Wallace said. “At the same time, our goal is to put it in the end zone every time we touch it. We don’t worry about what they’re doing or if they have a shutout. We’re trying to put it in the end
zone every time we touch it.” Wallace was a popular pick to be one of the top quarterbacks in the conference at SEC Media Days in July. Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall and Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott were the other popular picks. Wallace had a lot of competition at the quarterback position, something Freeze knew in the offseason. “Not surprised at all with how well they’ve done,” Freeze said. “If you go back to SEC Media Days that was the buzz around there, and I kept saying these coaches aren’t sitting around and not recruiting other quarterbacks. There will be many quarterbacks that given the chance will do very well. I’m not surprised.” This will be the last home opener for Wallace as he is excited for his freshman teammates to get the opportunity to play in Vaught-Hemingway for the first time. “We’re always excited about being at home,” Wallace said. “I know the freshmen are excited. The guys that are coming in, this is their first experience with the Walk of Champions and things. I’m excited for those guys to get to experience that. Hopefully we come out and put a good show on for our crowd.”

Following a blow-out victory against the Vanderbilt Commodores, the Rebels are now 2-0 and looking forward to next week’s matchup. “We have a big game with Louisiana-Lafayette in our home opener, and it’s always great to play here in front of our fans. I know they’ll show up and be very supportive, and we owe them to put a product on the field that’s very exciting,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “There’s no question in my mind the bull’s-eye that will be on our chest for this week with the group from Lafayette will be huge. We expect to get their best shot and we have to be prepared for it.” Freeze said he felt familiar with the team due to sharing a conference with them during his stint at Arkansas State. “Their quarterback is very talented, and they have tal-
ent around him with receivers and running backs and offensive line. They are very balanced, and they do a lot of the same stuff we do,” Freeze said. “We should be able to give our defense a good look. They are a good football team, no question.” In addition to being excited to face their next opponent, several players expressed excitement in playing their first home game of the season. “Just the feeling of being in the grove and being with our family Rebel Nation, it’s amazing,” junior offensive lineman Justin Bell said. “We take pride in being at home and we have to protect our house.” “I can’t wait to see Rebel Nation, and the walk of champions never fails. It’s always great getting off that bus and seeing so many fans,” sophomore wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo said. “I just can’t wait to get this first home

game.” Adeboyejo is coming off a camp in which Freeze said he had some struggles with the consistency of his hands. But so far in the first two weeks, Adeboyejo has played well, already catching as many passes as he did in his entire freshman year. “I’m really pleased. I don’t want to jinx him, but he’s catching it well with his hands,” Freeze said. “He’s been very consistent in the first two games, and we’re very excited. We need him to play that way.” “I haven’t dropped a pass in these past two games so that’s a plus, and really in camp I felt like I was stressing myself and I feel like I had a lot of pressure on my back,” Adeboyejo said. “Probably about the last week of camp and the practices we’ve had so far. I’ve just been more relaxed and just played the next play if I do drop a pass. Going into the game I’ve just been more relaxed than I’ve ever been.” One of the stories of last week’s game was the play of the younger players, particularly the backup quarterbacks, Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade, both of whom are redshirt freshmen. “He was very comfortable. He didn’t look rattled at all for his first SEC game,” Freeze said of Buchanan. “There are some things that don’t come natural that came natural for him. I like what I saw out of him.” Freeze discussed Kincaid’s performance as well. “DeVante was 50-50. You’re dealing with 18-year-old kids, and they make mistakes,” Freeze said. “I don’t think it’s a talent issue. He just needs time to get more comfortable, and he has value he can add to us. There’s no question.”
