Oxford considers Square curfew for minors By Samantha Abernathy slaberna@go.olemiss.edu
Cady Herring| The Daily Mississippian
Oxford city leaders are considering enforcing a curfew to limit the time minors spend on the Square. Oxford Police Chief Joey East indicated that those aged 16 and under will be limited by the proposed measure aimed at preserving Oxford’s family-safe environment. “It is not to be seen as a punishment, but as a safer alternative,” East said. “This will help parents enforce late-night curfews.” Oxford officials have yet to reach a consensus, however, according to Oxford Mayor Pat Patterson. “Nothing has been decided yet,” Patterson said. “We are only discussing the possibility of a curfew.” Patterson noted the potential benefits of enacting the curfew as selling points of the policy. “The curfew was proposed to ease the concerns of the late-night activity in Oxford,” Patterson said. “A curfew will be another
tool for the police department to use.” Specific directives of the proposed policy have yet to be solidified, according to Patterson. However, the policy is said to be applicable to Oxford as a whole, with emphasis placed on enforcement in the Square. Junior political science major Christine Sims is in support of the proposed policy. “I think the curfew is a good idea because younger kids will not be around the rowdiness of the college kids in the Square late at night,” Sims said. “Also, younger kids will not have the opportunity to have access to alcohol, and bar owners will not be responsible for the younger children.” Safety is the primary concern, according to East. “The university life is pushing on the life of Oxford, and we just want to make sure that everyone is safe,” East said. “Establishments will have less to worry about in terms of serving alcohol to younger high school students.”

Foul play suspected in Otter accident By Pete Porter tjporter@go.olemiss.edu
Foul play is suspected in the injury of UM student Carson Otter, according to an incident report released by the Austin Police Department. Authorities were dispatched to Trinity and East 7th streets in response to an emergency call early Saturday morning around 2:30 a.m. According to the police report, the accident was filed as an aggravated assault. An Associated Press article states police are investigating a verbal disturbance between a man walking along the street

At least 13 dead in Navy Yard shooting WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Navy man opened fire Monday morning inside a building at the heavily secured Washington Navy Yard, spraying bullets at office workers in the cafeteria and the halls, authorities said. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman. Authorities said they were looking for a possible second attacker who may have been disguised in an olive-drab military-style uniform. But as the day wore on and night fell, the rampage increasingly appeared to be the work of a lone gunman, and Navy Yard employees were being released from the complex and children
were let out of their locked-down schools. Investigators said they had not established a motive for the rampage, which unfolded about 8:20 a.m. in the heart of the nation’s capital, less than four miles from the White House and two miles from the Capitol. As for whether it may have been a terrorist attack, Mayor Vincent Gray said: “We don’t have any reason to think that at this stage.” But he said the possibility had not been ruled out. The FBI took charge of the ivestigation and identified the gunman killed in the attack as 34-year-old Aaron Alexis of Tex-

The suspects then returned to the vehicle and left the scene. Police say no suspects have been named and no arrests have been made. Otter, a junior from Bloomington, Ind., is in recovery at the University Medical Center-Brackenridge in Austin after having emergency brain surgery Saturday. Otter’s mother posted to his Facebook page Monday night, “Today was a really good day
for Carson. He is completely breathing on his own, is out of sedation but is really sleepy. If you would start to pray for Carson’s swelling to decrease and for him to respond to commands. That is where the need is now…There were tubes draining his incision on his skull, they were removed (great news!) He is breathing on his own and the ventilator was removed!” Otter’s mother is posting updates on his Facebook page for those interested in staying updated on his progress. The DM will continue providing updates as new information is available.

Universal connections By: Marcus Daniels mjdanie1@go.olemiss.edu
PATRICIA THOMPSON director and faculty adviser
As I sat quietly in my room contemplating my life and my existence it hit me. In physiology, we have learned about why regulating homeostasis (tendency of an organism’s internal environment to remain constant over time) is important to an organism’s survival. I began to ponder if we were connected to other organisms in the same way. I concluded that we are inherently connected to all life in such a way that we need each other to survive. This connection and its inherent beauty sustain us mentally, physically, and emotionally. A lack of this connection can lead to uneasiness, unhappiness, and loneliness that we all go through periodically. After establishing that this connection is essential to our

well-being, I began to look at the underlying causes of why we seldom feel this sense of belonging in our own world. In previous centuries, and in indigenous cultures, there seemed to be a more holistic view of ourselves and how we interacted with the universe. A sense of unity with the universe was lost with the Europeanization of the world and the establishment of markets. I blame our mantra of greed and the embracing of the “survival of the fittest” mind frame. Doctrines such as these that most of us unknowingly live by, and embrace whole-heartedly, may actually be counterproductive to our wellbeing. Love and cooperation sustain us and are actually more in line with our nature. For example, think about any low point in your life. Was it comforting or would it have been comfort-

ing to know that someone was there for you to love and comfort you? The answer is almost unequivocally yes because that is the core of who we are as intelligent organisms. This brings me to my main point. Since we are all connected with ourselves and nature, or we want to make an impact on this world, I venture to say that tiny acts of positivity/negativity affect other people more that we know. I am reminded by something my father told me every night. “Be nice to every person you see because you don’t know what other people go through nor their pain. Do this and you will live a long, prosperous life filled with few burdens”. Since the universe is connected, the small acts of kindness or hostility can build up into a force within the universe. The small acts we do, the way we carry ourselves, and what we say

all have a collective output on the this world and the way the world interacts with us. My suggestions are to spread the positivity while staving off negativity, embracing your fears, and wholeheartedly believing that you have the power to be great. Your positive energy alone can create a backdrop of unparalleled positivity in the universe. Be forewarned though. This way of thinking carries a major consequence: Responsibility for ourselves and our conduct. As the semester starts I encourage you to embrace this burden. Branch out and examine your connections. Strive to become a universal citizen and do the tiny positive acts that collectively make a large scale difference in the world. Marcus Daniels is a junior biology major from Brandon.

Column
ASB’s Creed Week will better Ole Miss By ADAM GANUCHEAU dmeditor@gmail.com
The Daily Mississippian writes about the Associated Student Body – a lot. As a student newspaper, our job is to hold our student government accountable, and we will never falter from that objective. Today, I wanted to personally take the time to write about the ASB once again. This time, it’s on a lighter note, but just as important as ever. Yesterday, the ASB kicked off its first-ever Creed Week, which highlights and honors the University Creed on the tenth anniversary of its implementation. This idea, which was conceived by ASB President Gregory Alston and his cam-
paign staff when Alston was running for his position, is one of the best ideas I have witnessed as a student at Ole Miss. Though the Creed was drafted well before I became a student at Ole Miss, the values expressed within it are ones that I have come to love and adhere to as I have started my fourth year at the university. In the past, the Creed has served a great purpose, but one that hasn’t necessarily been perfect. More than once, it’s been a way to cope in times of adversity. Two of its biggest uses have allowed Ole Miss to move forward from racially-fueled situations that garnered national attention. When the Ku Klux Klan came to campus in 2009
to protest the abolishment of The Pride of the South’s song “From Dixie With Love,” members of the student organization One Mississippi literally turned their backs on the KKK’s rally at Fulton Chapel. In a counter protest of the KKK’s hatred, the students recited the words of the Creed. More recently, One Mississippi, in conjunction with the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation, held a candlelight march to counter the previous night’s raciallymotivated 2012 election protest on campus. The peaceful rally, which was attended by 600 people, centered around the recitation of the Creed. While the Creed’s purpose in the past has been important to our university, it’s be-
ing made better this week, and for the first time since I’ve been at Ole Miss, it’s in a positive way. Thanks to the ASB’s work this week, the Creed has become more than a coping mechanism – it is an open invitation to participate in making Ole Miss a better place. Because of this week, students are being invited to live by the words expressed in the Creed every day, not just during the hard times. If our student body could regularly express the tenants of the Creed instead of just in the negative times, imagine what a place Ole Miss could be. Hundreds of students and faculty members have already lined up in the Student Union lobby to sign the Creed Week book. Alston said that the
book will be presented at every Creed Week for years to come. If you have signed the book, I commend you. If you haven’t, you have until the end of this week. I would also challenge you to take it seriously and strive to live by those words. I hope that Creed Week will continue to be one of the best weeks at Ole Miss for years to come. Take the time to be part of the first one ever and enjoy it. In the meantime, I will continue to be impressed and humbled by the way Ole Miss will be made better because of it.

Column
The Democratic Party has my vote
By Adam Blackwell ablackwe@go.olemiss.edu
In my column two weeks ago, I wrote on the inadequacies of the United States Congress — its slow pace, its arrogance and its interesting work schedule. After reading an article this week, I have realized that the U.S. House of Representatives, specifically the Republican leadership, is again wasting our taxpayer dollars. As of Thursday, Sept. 12, House Republicans voted for the 41st time to repeal “Obamacare.” Can someone please tell me what good this does? If House Republicans were suc-
cessful, such a repeal would never get past the Democratically controlled Senate. President Obama would certainly never sign such a repeal of his political baby. So, all logical reasoning points to these votes as being a waste of time. If Republicans were truly concerned about health care law, they would work to create new reforms, or they would work to fully understand and study the costs and benefits of Obamacare. Furthermore, if they were truly concerned with the well-being of Americans, they would be more willing to have a civil discourse with the president instead of attacking him through media outlets and uncalled-for congressional votes. The Affordable Care Act is set to defend many women who can be denied insurance for “pre-existing conditions,”
such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, pregnancy, diabetes and more. If you’re a woman, you have no reason to dislike Obamacare. On average, insurance companies charge women 50 percent more than they do men for the same insurance. Obamacare fights that. These are just a couple of the many benefits of Obamacare. These are benefits that opponents like to ignore. The United States is the only industrialized nation without some form of universal health care. Furthermore, the United States spends the most money per capita on health care in the world, yet the resulting care is not nearly exceptional. Obamacare is a stab in the right direction. Sure, there are some parts of the legislation that aren’t great; every major piece of legislation has imper-
fections. President Obama and the Democratic Party spent all of their political capital in 2009 and 2010 passing legislation to truly help working Americans. Now, Republican leadership wastes time daily trying to dismantle this historic work. Republican leadership spends its time on futile endeavors, instead of taking up the fight to create more jobs, to help our environment and support human rights. House Republicans dramatically slowed the reauthorization process of the Violence Against Women Act. For what? To play political games. The American people are tired of political games. From both sides. However, in my opinion, Americans should be more concerned about who stalls progress and who wastes
taxpayer funds on fruitless efforts. The Republican Party continues to be a polarizing force that seeks to politicize and dramatize the issues, instead of working to create effective change. The Republican Party is the party creating a deep divide between the American people. It is the party that is rapidly moving away from the center. The Republican Party is the party that refuses to reach across the aisle. The Republican Party is the party that refuses to move into the 21st century. If you haven’t guessed by now, these are a few of the reasons I’m a Democrat. Adam Blackwell is a senior public policy leadership major from Natchez.

New Ole Miss merchandise gaining popularity By Michael Borkey jmborkey@go.olemiss.edu
Walking through the Grove before the Southeast Missouri game, Ole Miss students and fans may have noticed a new sticker making an appearance in the crowds that overtook the center of campus. The half-red, half-blue square sticker with a white outline contained four letters: “HY” on top in the blue half, and “DR” on the red bottom half. Those letters, which stand for “Hell Yeah, Damn Right,” are pulled from a line in the “Hotty Toddy” chant and double as the name for a new company producing Ole Miss merchandise. HYDR founder Bo Pentecost said the company’s products target the minds and hearts of the Rebel obsessed. The idea for HYDR came in a rather unorthodox way. “I was at a meeting in my church,” Pentecost said. “One of the pastors said, ‘Are you ready?’ and smiled quietly and said, ‘Nobody answer that!’ In that moment I
was amused and thought to myself, ‘Maybe I should abbreviate it for them.’” Soon after, the idea turned into products. It started with just car decals but has since grown to koozies, T-shirts and the soon-coming embroidered polo, all sporting the HYDR logo. However, the company isn’t stopping there. “There’s just no end to the possibilities of products we could use with HYDR,” Pentecost said. “So far, the koozies and the decals have been our biggest hit, but we’ve got some pretty exciting stuff coming up in the near future.” The distribution of the stickers in the Grove inspired at least one student to check out what HYDR had to offer. “The logo is really cool,” said Wesley Dodd, senior exercise science major. “I hadn’t heard of this before. I’ll definitely be looking them up and buying something. I bet it takes off.” The intention of this idea wasn’t to make a lot of money, or to hard-sell a big brand. This company was
founded with the intention of strengthening the bond of the Ole Miss community. “We want HYDR to be a family that support each other, that use their “Hell yeahs” and “Damn Rights” backed by a passion for life and the pursuit of great and noble aspirations,” Pentecost said. “Ole Miss has a great heritage and so much to be proud of. That’s what we want to be a part of.” A big part of building that sense of community comes at the hands of social media. HYDR has taken to Twitter to connect with customers and fans. They currently have over 1,400 followers at the handle @hydr_olemiss. “Social media is everything to us,” Pentecost said. “It’s the only way to keep in touch and build relationships with HYDR fans, and not just with students, but a wide demographic of people who love Ole Miss.” The responses on social media have been very positive. One Twitter user even commented on a photo of the HYDR koozies, saying, “I
want one of those around my beer.” Things have gone smoothly for HYDR so far. With an upcoming “soft launch” in early 2014, the company is working to build its brand and put out a quality product, while making sure to stay on course with the original concept. “We are always open to feedback about HYDR, but it’s our job to steer it and make sure we stay true to the heart of what we intended it to be,” Pentecost said of future growth. “I want it to come honestly and naturally and have a life of its own.” All of HYDR’s products can be found at hellyeahdamnright.com.
NAVY, continued from page 1 as. He died after a running gunbattle with police, investigators said. A federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity said Alexis was believed to have gotten into the Navy Yard by using someone else’s identification card. But Navy officials said it was not yet clear how he got onto the base. Alexis was a full-time reservist from 2007 to early 2011, leaving as a petty officer third class, the Navy said. It did not say why he left. He had been working for a fleet logistics support squadron in Fort Worth, Texas. The Navy listed his home of record as New York City. At the time of the rampage, he was working as a Defense Department contractor, but it was not clear if the information technology worker was assigned at the Naval Yard, according to two defense officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. In addition to those killed, more than a dozen people were hurt, including a police officer and two female civilians who were shot and wounded. They were all expected to survive.

Fast forward a year, and those questions are buried deep in the past for many of those who were searching for answers. Freeze’s offense has proven to be predicated on the run, and if Jeff Scott didn’t prove he was capable of carrying the load last season, he certainly has this season. He has rushed for 330 yards and two touchdowns, one of which proved to be the game-winner against Vanderbilt. This past weekend he highlighted the Rebels’ victory over the Texas Longhorns with a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown. Scott is making big play after big play this season. He is fourth in the Southeastern Conference in rushing yards and fifth in all-purpose yards with 455. It is safe to say that Scott is making a name for himself in his senior season. “This is my senior year,” Scott said. “This is it for me. I want to go out on top.” While there have always been questions about his size and things similar to that, Scott noted that he needed to get things figured out off the field before he could be great for Ole Miss. “Off-the-field issues, academics. I really struggled really hard in academics,” Scott said. “Coach Freeze has been on us tough. I just had to get my priorities right.” Things really changed in Scott, almost overnight, it seems. “Around my junior year, I knew my time here was limited,” he said. “I just wanted to be a great player overall. I wanted people to like me for what I do off the field and on the field.”
In many ways, the growth of Scott and the growth of the Ole Miss football program are very similar. Just a year ago, no one would have foreseen the Rebels being 3-0 coming off a win against Texas and being nationally ranked. No one would have guess that the 5-foot-7, 160-pound Scott would be the driving force behind the dangerous Rebel offense. In many ways, the success of the Ole Miss program can be attributed to the turnaround of Scott under Freeze and many other cases just like his. “This program came a long way,” Scott said. “My freshman year we are losing to a (FCS) team. Sophomore year we end up winning about three games. So it’s been a huge turnaround.” Much of the same can be said for Scott. He has come a long way in a year and even further in his four years in Oxford –– just like the Ole Miss program. He credits his turnaround to Freeze and strength and conditioning coach Paul Jackson. But much of the credit goes to Scott; as he said, he just had to get his priorities right.

Rebels making the most of bye week By John Luke McCord mccordjohnluke@yahoo.com
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze and his squad enter their first bye week of the 2013 season sitting at 3-0. The bye week comes before a brutal four-game stretch that will see the Rebels travel to Alabama and Auburn before hosting Texas A&M and LSU. Freeze and the coaching staff are going to use the extra week not only to get the team healthy but also to self-evaluate to see what else they can improve on before heading into the thick of the schedule. “Trying to figure out what we’re doing well, what we’re not doing well, what our tendencies are, to try fix some of the issues we have coming into a very difficult stretch,” Freeze said. Freeze also noted that he has a few guys on staff who selfscout after each game, but that it was easy to bring the first three games together and look at them extensively during the bye week. After defeating the Texas Longhorns this weekend in front of the third-largest crowd in the history of Darrell K. Royal Stadium, Freeze said he hopes that can be a building block for his program, while still noting that his program only took “a few steps forward” on Saturday night. The Rebels were able to keep the Longhorn offense off the scoreboard in the second half. Freeze called it “one of the best halves since we’ve been here.” However, Freeze did not talk about this weekend’s victory long before he mentioned the four-game stretch to come that includes Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M and LSU in the four weeks following the bye week. “That’s got to be probably the toughest stretch of games that anyone will have to play this
year,” Freeze said. “We need this open week. We need to get people healthy. We need everyone who is eligible and able to play in these games, so this week comes at a good time.” Some of the players who will be trying to get healthy are senior offensive linemen Pierce Burton and Emmanuel McCray, as well as sophomore safety Trae Elston, all of whom will get the week off. Freeze also noted that sophomore linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche will begin to be challenged by the trainers this week. “He thinks he is playing in the next game; I’m not sure that’s accurate yet,” Freeze said. Sophomore Mike Hilton has earned the cornerback position after his performance in the second half on Saturday. Senior Dehendret Collins will move back to huskie to give freshman Tony Conner a few snaps off, as Freeze said he played too many on Saturday. Other position changes could be in the works, but he must discuss that with the players in question first. One change that could be coming is freshman Derrick Jones to cornerback. Freeze noted they think he can be a good, big corner for them. He will also help as the Rebels have some big receivers on the schedule in the coming weeks. Other press conference notes Freeze noted that redshirt freshman linebacker Temario Strong performed well on special teams Saturday and that he took a step forward that they have been asking him to take. This week will be used for self-scouting for other things they could add to the defensive or offensive scheme to make them better. They will work on fundamentals and inserting anything they may have found that can better them on offense or defense. They will begin the preparation for Alabama on Wednesday, while Friday and
