Caged the Rage Rebels defeat UL-L, move into top 10

It felt like fall at VaughtHemingway Stadium Saturday afternoon. The skies were cloudy and the temperatures were cool, as the Rebels took care of Louisiana-Lafayette and won handedly 56-15 to move to 3-0 on the season.

It was another complete game on both sides of the ball for the Rebels, as the offense accumulated for 554 total yards and the defense let up only 16 points and forcing four turnovers, including an interception returned for a touchdown.

Another dominating week for the Rebels results in their first top 10 appearance in the AP Poll since 2009 and their second since 1970. Despite being in the top 10, Ole Miss is ranked fifth highest of the Southeastern Conference West, ranked behind LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn and Alabama.

“I’m really happy we went out and took control of the game and kept control of it,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “There are some things we did not do particularly well today that we have to cleaned up. Even though you may be the better football team on a given day, you still have to I’Tavius Mathers breaks away for a touchdown past Louisiana-Lafayette safety Trevence Patt during Saturday’s game.

Associated Student Body Senate prepares for new term ALLISON SLUSHER

ajslushe@go.olemiss.edu

The Associated Student Body Senate will hold elections for senate seats Tuesday.

Petitions for senate campaigns were collected Friday, Sept. 5. ASB Attorney General Kelly Savage has been working to prepare the ballots for Tuesday’s elections.

“At last count, we had 110 people submit petitions to run for campus senate,” Savage said. “We had a great, unprecedented turn out, and I am hopeful that we will soon have a very impressive group

of newly-elected senators.”

Students will be running to represent their residence halls, specific school or year classification at large.

ASB Vice President Emerson George said he is hoping to make changes to senate meeting procedures.

“This year we have a lot coming through senate,” George said. “We’re going to look at a lot of our procedures and make things work more efficiently.”

He said he is also looking forward to seeing what the senators will accomplish on campus.

“I think a big thing that

students can see is the Infrastructure Committee,” George said. “There are always a lot of great things that come out of them. I think really what we want to do is figure out this ambiguous couple week period with senate elections and how there’s not a whole lot of time to do a whole lot once we get back. Our big thing coming up as soon as the election comes through will be passing our budget and getting money to student organizations as quickly as possible.”

Savage said she too is preparing legislation for the new term.

“I have a few pieces of leg-

islation in the works that will be brought to the ASB Senate this semester, the first of which will clarify the election rules regarding free giveaways,” Savage said. “After making some revisions, I also plan to bring back the Campus Election Procedures Revision Act of 2013, which was proposed last fall in efforts to limit the number of campaigners on election days that can be present at each of the open campaigning spots on campus: the Union Plaza, Fulton Chapel and the Circle.”

Jake McClellan, senior, is currently a senator for the College of Liberal Arts. He

also serves as chairman of the academics administration committee. McClellan said that if re-elected, he hopes to accomplish goals he and his committee members have set.

“I think this year we have a lot of goals that we’ve set out,” McClellan said. “I’m the chairman of the academics administration committee, so we have a pretty good work load planned. I’m excited to get the year started.”

Students will be able to vote Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on their myOleMiss accounts. Results will be posted at 8 p.m. Tuesday outside the ASB office.

You’re really not a good friend COLUMN

RACHEL JANNELL GRANGER rgranger@go.olemiss.edu

I’m sure we have all had that very one-sided conversation that began with “How are you doing?” and before you could even give an answer, you hear, “Me too, girl — blah blah blah.”

So let me address this once and for all – if you simply want someone to be there to listen to you, then just cut to the chase and do not ask how we are doing. This is not being disrespectful. By ceasing to pretend to be interested, we not only conserve time, but we also avoid giving each other a false sense of concern.

My understanding of genuine friendship is that, in conversation between genuine friends, there is an actual pause after asking someone about their well-being where the requested answer actually goes. But it goes even even deeper than that; friendship is truly caring about how an individual is “doing.” It is loving that person enough to create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable enough to pull back the mask that T H E D A I LY

we as humans have become so accustomed to wearing, and allowing them to reveal the scars they are ashamed of. It is accepting the blemishes, being willing to learn the history behind the scars that have fashioned these individuals into the people we love.

Friendship is realizing that what you hear may be ugly and uncomfortable, but withstanding the unease, understanding that love is sometimes ugly and uncomfortable anyway.

If your friendship only revolves around what the other person is not doing for you, then maybe you should reevaluate your definition of the word “friend.” “Friend” has suffered a loss of significant meaning over the years. We have wandered away from the Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King relationship, where Oprah wishes “every person on earth experiences somebody who cares for them and knows them in such a way that they only want the best for you.”

We have idolized the Serena and Blair relationship from “Gossip Girl” as the pinnacle of friendship; yet we fail to remember the hate-

ful words hurled between them when at any point one or the other fails to fulfill her “friendship duty.”

Every girl in the world complains to her family about how she is such a great friend and how she can not find a friend on par with herself. Statistically, that does not make sense; maybe we are not as good of friends as we think we are. It’s possible that we are looking at ourselves in a different light than what reality shines on us. If we are all the perfect friend like we believe, why are there so many individuals who feel alone and misunderstood? It is because our selfishness prevents us from living up to the standard of “perfect friendship” that we unfairly expect from everyone else. Since we prioritize our own well-being, we put so many people that we claim to care about on the back burner.

This is not to say we should not care about ourselves, but it is insensitive to allow everyone to carry our burdens while we show little regard for theirs.

Too often we as humans judge friendships or relationships by comparing our own with others’.

Perhaps the measuring stick of friendship should be found in the ancient words of wisdom, “Do unto to others as you would have them do unto you.” When you are tempted to become complacent with how you treat others, remember people’s masks have molded to their faces, and it takes truly caring to understand what is behind these masks.

With the skill of a surgeon and the heart of a sage, give to those you call “friend” the gift of listening, cutting through the words they use to shield themselves to see the heart beneath the layers.

Let’s lift someone’s burden by looking behind the mask. Delve into their hearts and find out who they really are, and when we meet that person, let’s not run in fear of who we find them to be. Instead, embrace the person we once mindlessly called friend, because that is when we embody the definition of being a true friend.

Changes coming to road names CHANING GREEN

ccgreen1@go.olemiss.edu

Chancellor Dan Jones’ announcement of The University of Mississippi’s action plan at the beginning of August called for implementing certain changes within the UM campus. Among these was the changing of two campus road names in response to an assessment completed by a Sensitivity and Respect Committee in the summer of 2013.

The roads under revision are Confederate Drive and Coliseum Drive. Due to the opening of the university’s new basketball venue, The Pavilion, in December 2015, the name “Coliseum Drive” is prone to cause confusion for some. Ole Miss officials announced that the road will now be referred to as “Chucky Mullins Drive” in honor of the late football player who suffered a paralyzing spinal injury in 1989 while playing for the Rebels.

The name of Confederate Drive, however, is being changed for cultural reasons.

“Confederate” and “confederacy” are words that are used often around the university but for many, the terms carry blatant undertones of racial tensions that Ole Miss has long striven to leave in the past.

Donald Cole, assistant provost for multicultural affairs

and chair of the committee that conducted the initial assessment, has long supported the changing of the road names and welcomes the transition.

“Some of the names are divisive and have always been,” Cole said. “Increasingly, they have become a liability that dates our institution and depicts the university as a nonprogressive institution. If these streets were new, they would not likely inherit their current names. There are places for which the current names are more appropriate than at a public university.”

While there are critics of the name change from Confederate Drive to Chapel Lane, many students and faculty members seem to be embracing the situation as more of a progression than an alteration.

“I appreciate the tradition and the history of the road names but that shouldn’t trump progress,” graduate student Taylor Smith said. “If

someone has an issue with what we call the roads, then those people deserve to voice their opinion as well.”

Michael Barnett, chair of the faculty senate, was given the opportunity to meet with one of the outside consultants the university hired.

Barnett said that while they did not play any final decision making roles in the situation, the UM Faculty Senate PHOTO BY: THOMAS GRANING had a representative on the A street sign is seen at the intersection of Fraternity Row and Confederate Drive Sensitivity and Respect Committee to make sure that everyone’s opinion and insight was heard.

“Providing contemporary context for our existing symbols and names is an important step in educating our campus community on the history of the buildings and the grounds that surround us,” Barnett said. “Additionally, Chucky Mullins is a unifying figure on our campus and recognizing him in this way is an appropriate honor.”

Movie Review: ‘No Good Deed’ COLTON HERRINGTON cjherri1@go.olemiss.edu

Rating: D

“No Good Deed” is a fitting title for a movie that is, essentially, no good.

From director Sam Miller, “No Good Deed” wastes its potential and talented leads on an over-saturated plot and cliché motifs present in virtually every entry in the home invasion genre. The film barely works, and that’s only thanks to the performers and a pleasantly surprising plot twist.

Starring Taraji P. Henson, seen in “Hustle and Flow” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” as Terri and Idris Elba, “Mandela” and “Obsessed,” as Colin, the film begins with Elba’s character at a parole hearing, during which his character is painted as a “malignant narcissist” (which is something I have never heard of, but okay). Colin is denied, and on the way back to prison, proceeds to literally murder everyone, so the “malignant” part turns out to be alarmingly true.

In a series of events straight out of a Telenovela – the viewer doesn’t become privy to the forces moving the plot until the end of the film – Colin ends up at the home of Terri, Jeffrey (Henry Simmons) and

their two young children. As all movies of this genre go, Terri is alone and vulnerable during a storm when Colin arrives, as her husband left for the weekend at the beginning of the film. Naturally, havoc ensues.

Since Colin is charming and good-looking, lonely Terri doesn’t really hesitate to invite Colin into her home when he says he got in a car accident and needs a phone. By this time, it’s understood that Colin is a pro when it comes to gaining a woman’s trust and ruining her life – it’s also understood that you should never help a stranger because they will try to kill you.

This time around, though, Colin meets his match in Terri. She’s easily the best part of an otherwise routine film, and her friend Meg (Leslie Bibb) is the worst.

It turns out Terri used to be an attorney and specialized in cases that involved maleon-female violence, and while that may be a cheesy movie moment, her past actually works as a plot device. For the first time in a while, I was impressed by the focus on female agency in a major film.

While the movie is definitely a home invasion thriller, it doubles as an advocate for female empowerment. Terri uses her previous experiences to take charge of her life and protect her family, and you’ll

be cheering her along as she regains her agency.

By the end of the film, Terri is no longer just a housewife, as she shouldn’t be.

She kicks ass, and rather than me screaming at the screen saying “Get up! Get up! Beat him!”

I found myself cringing slightly at every blow dealt to Colin.

Taraji P. Henson is extremely believable as Terri, so I feel kind of sorry for the man in her life.

I’m also wondering why she isn’t given better material? Spectacular actress.

Where Terri has dimension and depth, her best friend Meg is her antithesis.

She’s a realtor, annoyingly bubbly and basically a slut. Had her character been written properly, Meg could have been another powerful female presence rather than a stereotype. Her independence and sexual freedom morph into a caricature that’s painful to watch, especially with her interactions with Colin.

Colin, like Terri, is also a slight triumph for “No Good Deed.” Idris Elba plays the character well, adding a steely, brooding quality to Colin’s sociopathic tendencies.

You’ll also really hate him.

Overall, “No Good Deed” fails. Elba and Henson can’t save it. A plot twist you really

don’t see coming can’t save it.

Nothing can save this mess of a film.

The film lacks believability.

Most of the time, entries in the home invasion genre justify the situation, so there’s a reason – no matter how tenuous – for the madness. While the reason for Colin’s violence against Terri’s family is revealed near the end and does make some sense, there are so many other elements that just don’t add up – like Colin

exclude and do the things that will make you one of the toptier teams in the country.”

Starting quarterback Bo Wallace has now played eight quarters in a row of seemingly perfect football. Wallace finished the day 23 of 28 passing for 316 yards with four touchdowns and one interception.

Besides the one interception Wallace threw late in the second quarter, it was another close-to-flawless performance for the senior quarterback.

Wallace’s 75.5 completion percentage is the best in the country out of all qualified quarterbacks and is top five in the country in yards per attempt and QB rating.

Freeze was happy with the performance from his quarterback and his receivers.

“It was a really solid day from Bo (Wallace). He played really well,” Freeze said. “The receivers played well. It was good to

“If we come out and play, execute, be focused and don’t make mistakes, we can compete with anybody,” Sanders said. “I think we’ll be able to take that next step in the SEC West.”

The performance of the day on defense went to senior defensive back Senquez Golson, who totaled two interceptions for the day and returned his second 59 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter with 9:11 left. The interception-return touchdown was the first time since 2009 Ole Miss has had back-to-back games with a pick-six.

Freeze mentioned this is the year Golson has the “buy in” mentality that he wants out of all of his players when they come to Ole Miss.

Golson agrees he’s a different person now and its’ helping him grow as a player.

“The person I am now compared to the person I was last year is different,” Golson said. “Things like character and being a good teammate changed.”

Wallace was very pleased with the performance of his offense overall as well.

“It felt great being back in front of our home crowd,” Wallace said. “Vince (Sanders) and Cody (Core) had a great day.

Everyone stepped up. The offensive line did a really good job. It just felt good to get the win.”

With his four touchdown passes, Wallace passed Jevan Snead for second all-time in Ole Miss history with 49 career touchdowns.

The receiver who had made the biggest impact for the Rebels in the first two weeks was junior Cody Core, but this time it was senior Vince Sanders who made the difference, reeling in eight catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns, which are both career highs.

Sanders was the beneficiary of the offense this week and hopes the offense can continue like this against the SEC West.

Wanting to avoid a fifth set for the second weekend in a row, the Rebels jumped on the Gamecocks early in the fourth and earned their largest lead of the night at 2011. Jacksonville State never threatened, as the Rebels closed out the Gamecocks 25-17.

Thompson added a careerbest 17 digs to go along with her 16 kills as well as two service aces and two blocks. She hit a career-high .484 on the night.

On Tuesday, Ole Miss received a huge boost to its commitment list for 2015 with the addition of offensive lineman Drew Richmond.

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Richmond is rated as the 86th best player in his class by 247 Sports’ composite ranking and a four-star offensive tackle. Richmond adds a potential star to the offensive line and could see time at tackle as a freshman.

In an interview with Rivals, Richmond said the Rebels’ current star at left tackle, Laremy Tunsil, played a big part in his decision to commit to Ole Miss.

During his travels to other schools, Richmond said he plans on recruiting other players to Ole Miss, such as defensive end Kyle Phillips and fellow offensive lineman Javon Patterson.

Kyle Phillips is a four-star prospect from Tennessee who recently listed the Rebels in his top five. Phillips told Rivals he’s visited the Rebels more than any other school and praised the coaching staff and atmosphere of the school. Also in his top five are Alabama, LSU, Tennessee and Tennessee State, where he has family ties.

Patterson is one of the top players in Mississippi and is listed as the number two guard in the country by 247’s composite rankings. Patterson listed Ole Miss in his top five this summer and would have the chance to be an immediate boost to the Rebels’ offensive line if he chooses Ole Miss.

mitted from the Rebels.

Pettway has expressed a lot of interest in staying in-state and joining the Razorbacks.

Ole Miss remains in the race, but Arkansas seems to be his top choice.

Tight end Will Gragg is another Ole Miss target who is receiving heavy interest from the in-state Razorbacks.

Gragg is close with some of Arkansas’ commits so that could help sway him to Fayetteville.

Also included in his top six are Alabama, LSU, Texas and Mississippi State.

With Pettway likely gone, Ole Miss will try and find other receivers to take his spot.

Dontea Jones is one possibility. Jones is already committed to Mississippi State, but Ole Miss could still make a strong push for him. The same goes for Van Jefferson, who is currently committed to Georgia. Jefferson is a four-star and could be hard to pry away from the Bulldogs.

Another player Ole Miss could be looking to steal is Auburn commit Tony Bridges. Bridges is a four-star cornerback attending Gulf Coast Community College in Mississippi. Ole Miss currently has ten players committed for the 2015 class and has until Feb. 4 to fill out the rest of the class.

In front of more than 600 fans, the Ole Miss Volleyball team made history Friday night at the Gillom Sports Center. The Rebels rallied to defeat Jacksonville State 3-1 for a program-best 10-0 start to the season.

“I’ve had people ask me how I felt about getting 10 wins, and I said ‘I’ll let you know at the end of the season, because we’re not done yet,’” head coach Steven McRoberts said. “I am proud of the team for winning our first 10, but we know we have a lot of things to work on to get better. I hope our focus is not on a streak, but on our next match. We want our focus to be on getting better every day. We talked about how if everyone stays in the system and people are bought in, things like this happen.”

For the first time all year, the Rebels trailed after set one. The Rebels had four set points in the opening frame, but the Gamecocks won in overtime, 28-26 to take the early momentum.

Freshman Lexi Thompson had a career night and provided the spark the Rebels needed. She stepped up in the second set, posting seven of a career-high 18 kills to lead the team to a 25-23 win.

After the break, Ole Miss came out and won the third set 25-21 behind more solid play from Thompson, who added six kills.

“Lexi had a tremendous night for us,” McRoberts said. “She had a really good weekend. Her play really helped us build some mo-

Another offensive line prospect Ole Miss is pursuing is Alex Givens. Givens is a three-star tackle from Nashville, Tennessee, who’s very interested in Ole Miss and the Vanderbilt Commodores. Givens could make his decision very soon.

Other Ole Miss top targets include Leo Lewis and Fletcher Adams.

Lewis is a Mississippi linebacker who had formerly committed to Alabama but now has reopened his commitment. Rated as the number one inside linebacker in the country by 247’s composite rankings, Lewis remains interested in the Crimson Tide as well as Ole Miss, Mississippi State and others.

Adams is the brother of Nelson Adams, a defensive tackle at Mississippi State. Despite this, Adams ranked Ole Miss as his favorite earlier this year. The battle to get Adams’ signature will be heated as Mississippi State, Alabama, Missouri, Auburn and Louisville are also vying for his services.

Adding any of these players would be big for the Ole Miss 2015 class, which recently took a hit when threestar Arkansas wide receiver La’Michael Pettway decom-
