new housing community breaks ground A new, innovative student community on Molly Barr Road is expected to be completed by July 2013, adding over 600 beds and almost 100 buildings to the area. BY JUSTIN TAYLOR jdtaylo2@go.olemiss.edu
On Tuesday morning, industry leaders from Carter Realty, Campus Advantage and local community planners officially broke ground on Highland Square student housing just on Molly Barr Road. The project, which began construction last month, is expected to add over 600 bed spaces, in addition to the 155 students already living in the area. When all the construction is complete, nearly 100 buildings will have been added to the community. “When we originally conceived this project, we wanted to do something that would not only raise the bar for student living here in Oxford, but would actually set a new height for student living across the country,” Andy Feinour, senior vice president of Carter, said. Feinour said that the community will have multiple living opportunities, ranging from flats and town homes to cottages that will be set up around different courtyards. The living options will have

from two to six bedrooms. Judd Bobilin, president of Chance Partners, shared Feinour’s enthusiasm. “This will be the premier student housing project in the country, there’s no doubt in my mind,” Bobilin said. “It
will be one that I think people will come to and try to recreate (in) other markets.” In addition to the housing construction, there will be a car wash/dog wash, basketball and volleyball courts, a dog park, a fitness trail,
Accidents on campus a cause for concern The increased congestion on campus has led to more than just long lines in the Student Union at lunch. There has also been a rise in automobile accidents. BY HANNAH FRANK hvfrank@go.olemiss.edu
Roads and parking lots at Ole Miss have become increasingly congested, as enrollment at the university continues to grow but space does not. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports more than six million automobile accidents every year in the U.S. The NHTSA also estimates that an additional 10 million

WHAT
We want to know what progress you think Ole Miss has made since 1962. What are we lacking; what can be done; why is this important for our university and state; what does this mean to you? Etc. Please attach the following information with the essay, which should contain no more than 500 words: name, phone number, email, year, major, classification and hometown.

a stage and three separate swimming pools throughout the community. Highland Square will also have a town center with spaces for businesses to set up shop. Right now there is no cer-
tainty regarding which businesses will be in the town center, but project leaders are discussing with brokers and looking at the market. “What we’re talking about doing with the town center is (having) a clubhouse, a coffee shop, some retail,” David Nelson, vice president of Carter, said. “Then we have the fitness center and the business center with flats above. It will feel very much like an extension of the Oxford Square.” Many students who live off campus live on Old Taylor Road or Anderson Road, and Nelson said the congestion on those roads was one of the reasons they chose to build on Molly Barr instead. Oxford University Transit buses will be able to enter through one of the new entrances that lead into the town center to pick up and drop off students. Highland Square is currently taking applications for anyone interested in signing a lease. For more information, visit the Highland Square page on Facebook or call 662-5502020.

COLUMN
Bill Nye weighs in on the creationism conundrum BY MEGAN HOLMES mholmes48@gmail.com
Bill Nye is in the news this week following the release of an online video in which he criticizes the teaching of creationism, calling on parents to “question their beliefs” before passing the philosophy on to children. Nye is known as “the Science Guy” in middle school classrooms everywhere, and his foray into the evolution debate comes as a surprise to some considering his innocuous demeanor, though this is not the first time he has discussed the issue. The video of his opinion has garnered over 4.6 million views, as well as a response from Answers in Genesis, a group supporting creationist teachings in public schools. In an article entitled “Time is Nye for a Rebuttal” – yes, they really called it that – the group contends that both evolution and creationism should be taught, a position which seems to align with the majority of conservative rhetoric and policy initiatives concerning the issue. Particularly in the Southeast, legislators regularly introduce bills to challenge evolution and/ T H E D A I LY

or add relevance to intelligent design. In Mississippi, such bills were introduced in 2009 and 2010, with Rep. Gary Chism’s 2010 proposal requiring equal instruction time for both evolution and intelligent design. The bill died in committee, as have others of its type in the state. The debate between these positions remains heated largely because the nation is nearly evenly split in opinion over the issue, though in the Southeast a larger percentage of the population supports intelligent design. The Pew Research Center reports that while 60 percent of the East and West support evolution, the rest of the nation is less certain, with 45 percent of Midwesterners and 38 percent of Southerners ascribing to the theory. The percentage of residents in an area advocating evolution aligns roughly with patterns of religiosity throughout the nation. How do these mainstream opinions manifest themselves in science classrooms? Nearly 70 percent of textbooks sold in the U.S. come from four publishers. States in the Southeast with large populations, such as Texas and Florida, account for

large portions of sales for these corporations, and as such, firms are given incentives to produce content for science classrooms that aligns with public opinion in those states, regardless of demand for additional information on evolution in other regions. Teachers also face community pressure to depict evolution and intelligent design in alignment with regional norms, and an instructor’s personal belief system may affect instruction. It is difficult to determine the extent to which either position takes prominence in a classroom. A recent survey of more than 1,000 college students, compiled by Michigan State law professor Kristi Bowman, found that 3 out of 10 high school students receive creationism instruction in public school, with 2 out of 10 learning something about intelligent design. More than 90 percent encounter evolution, although, somewhat alarmingly, nearly 75 percent remember almost nothing about it. In summary, it seems that many teachers continue to instruct students in creationism and intelligent design regardless of what state guidelines and

curricula dictate, and those who do include evolution in a classroom setting often give it a cursory overview. Given these statistics, it seems Nye’s fear of a new generation lacking in scientific understanding has credence, though one has to wonder if there has ever been a generation well versed in scientific principles as a whole. As long as public opinion continues to regard evolution with skepticism, enforcing a curriculum promoting the theory will remain a challenge at every level. Nye wants to promote scientific understanding without offending the religious right. If the responses to his video are any indication, that may be an impossible goal, and this should not be the case. Creationism directly contradicts well-accepted science, and for this reason it has no place in a science classroom. This fact remains, regardless of any potential connection between the science of human origin and religion. Meghan Holmes is a second-year graduate Southern studies student from Arab, Alabama.

auto accidents go unreported every year. Auto troubles t The Uni-
versity of Mississippi are increasingly contributing to those statistics. As of Sept. 24, 99 motor vehicle incidents – including accidents, hit-and-runs and property damage – had occurred on campus during the
month of September, according to the Automated Records Management System (ARMS) web portal maintained by the University Police Department. Records for 2011 indicate that 112 incident reports were filed in September, compared to the 76 reports logged in September 2010. The cause of this upward trend is the growing number of students driving on campus, according to University Police Chief and Director of Campus Security Calvin Sellers. “We are overflowing and have way more cars on campus, and way more people,” Sellers said. “It is overcrowded, and there are going to be more accidents.” Many students have found that their cars are being damaged while parked because of overcrowded university lots and the negligence of drivers. “I walked out to my car one day, and I had scratches down the passenger side,” criminal justice freshman Haley Markel said. “I called
UPD to see if anyone had reported it, and no one did.” Regulations published by UPD state that, “All accidents involving moving or parked vehicles that occur on university property shall be reported immediately to the University Police Department.” Although UPD is aware of the growing number of hitand-runs on campus, the department is at a loss in regard to what can be done to correct the problem.
“If we don’t know about something, we can’t do anything about it,” Sellers said. Isacc Astill, director of Parking and Transportation Services at Ole Miss, said he believes accidents on campus are largely caused by “people not paying full attention,” and Sellers agreed. “With as much traffic as we have, you need to stay off the telephone and drive,” Sellers said. “We are so congested that people really need to pay attention.”

Professor on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ The University of Mississippi music professor Nancy Maria Balach will appear on “Wheel of Fortune” 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28. BY GRANT BEEBE sgbeebe@go.olemiss.edu
COURTESY WHEEL OF FORTUNE (CAROL KAELSON)
Nancy Maria Balach Schuesselin, associate professor of music, will appear on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Friday, Sept. 28.
Professor Nancy Balach of The University of Mississippi’s music department will appear as a contestant on the 30th-anniversary episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” to be aired Friday. Local NBC affiliates will air the episode at 6:30 p.m. This will be Balach’s first appearance on television, and it came as a spur-of-themoment opportunity. When she and her family were in Pittsburgh this past June, they attended a “Wheelmobile” event at Meadows Racetrack and Casino, she said. More than 4,000 people came to try to take part in a simulated
round, according to Balach. “It appeared that they were looking for outgoing, articulate and interesting people,” she said. “So I stepped up to the plate singing opera, doing Zumba and talking energetically about my family, my work at Ole Miss and my life in Oxford.” Two weeks after her visit to the Wheelmobile, Balach learned that she had been selected for a callback. Balach said the process took place in a small ballroom and “was not a big party, it was all business.” Two weeks later, Balach began preparing to appear on “Wheel of Fortune.” “It was so fun, but much too fast,” she said of the ex-
perience. Even as a vocal performance expert, Balach said she benefited from appearing on “Wheel of Fortune.” “You never know when your training or your background is going to come in handy,” Balach said. Donald Gates, chair of the department of music at Ole Miss, said Balach’s friends and colleagues in the department are looking forward to her TV appearance. “As a performing musician, she brings great personality to the stage, and I know she will be an engaging contestant on the show,” he said. A public viewing party will be held on 6:30 p.m. Friday in Nutt Auditorium. All are encouraged to attend.

Mandy McCalla leads young team by example The Ole Miss soccer team is off to one of the best starts in school history with a 9-2 record on the year and 2-2 in Southeastern Conference play. A cast of freshmen has been a huge help for Ole Miss, but a breakout year from junior forward/midfielder Mandy McCalla has sparked the Rebel offense. BY JAKE THOMPSON jcthomps@go.olemiss.edu
Mandy McCalla is having a career season offensively. She has scored a Southeastern Conference-leading 10 goals through 11 games this season. Her goal total for this year has already doubled her total from the 2011 season, when she only netted five goals. McCalla leads the SEC not only in goals, but also in points (23), points per game (2.09) and game-winning goals (4). There are nine more conference games left for her to improve on all these statistical marks. With all her accomplishments this season, McCalla has used it not to pat herself on the back, but to recognize the people around her on the field. “I’ve been center forward full time this year, which has definitely helped being up top,” McCalla said. “I think the chemistry and the speed we got wide and chemistry up top has really helped contribute to that. They’re the ones setting it up. I’m just the one putting it in.” With such a young squad, including 11 freshmen, the players look up to her as a leader. She uses that to keep her focus to make sure the freshmen are where they are supposed to be. McCalla also knows the girls do not need much help either. “I’d definitely say that is one of the goals this season,” McCalla said. “Like I’ve been saying all season, they’ve kind of done it themselves. They came in ready, and they know their jobs and they know what they are supposed to do so that always helps.” With her excellent performance this season, McCalla, along with junior forward Rafaelle Souza and senior midfielder Alix Hildal, has become a field general for the Rebels, which is something she said she expected heading into the season. “We were going to be such a young team, we knew we had to step up as the upperclassmen,” McCalla said.

said. “I thought it was a good start in our preparation for both sides and the special teams. “The kids that have been in this league for a year or two understand it quite clearly.

offensive tackle Emmanuel McCray isn’t worried about it. “Coach gives us the worst possible scenario out here in practice,” McCray said. “We have our own little system on the offensive line, and I think we’ll be fine.” Ole Miss is 30-plus point underdogs on Saturday, but freshman running back Jaylen Walton isn’t ready to count the Rebels out yet. “Anything is possible,” Walton said. “All we have to do is worry about us, keep working hard every day and keep doing what our coaches tell us to do.

Hugh Freeze also approved, as Elston’s emergence at safety allowed the Rebels to move junior Charles Sawyer back to corner in their retooled secondary. “Trae did well,” Freeze said. “He still made some mistakes if they gave him something that was a little different than what we had practiced. He played sound.” Elston grew up as an Auburn fan, but he said that changed once the recruiting process began. Both in-state schools were possibilities for the Under Armour All-American up until national signing day. “Alabama and Auburn were very strong in the recruiting process,” he said. “I pretty much had them in my top list,

but I felt like I should go out of state.” A strong connection to Freeze was a major factor in the Rebels’ ability to sign Elston. The coaching change put Ole Miss behind the eight ball in his recruitment, but the new coaching staff in Oxford was able to overcome that. “The head coach is a good man, and I think he’s going to lead this university to a good
place,” Elston said. “I just felt like this university is a great family, and that’s why I chose this school.” Looking ahead to Saturday, Elston and the Rebels have the tough task of trying to stop an offense that is averaging over six yards per play and has personnel who are very similar physically to the Texas offense that gave Ole Miss fits. While Elston knows it’ll be a tough task, he feels like the nofrills offensive mentality of the Crimson Tide could help the Rebels. “I think it’s going to help us a lot, we’ve just got to keep on doing our little assignments and keys,” he said. “If we do that, I think we have a good chance against them.” For continuing coverage of Ole Miss football, follow @thedm_ sports and @bennetthipp on Twitter.

The Ole Miss football team returned to practice Tuesday afternoon, as it prepares for Saturday’s Southeastern Conference opener against No. 1 Alabama. Junior Barry Brunetti took first-team snaps at quarterback, while sophomore Bo Wallace was sidelined with a right sprained shoulder that he suffered this past Saturday against Tulane. “Bo could’ve done some stuff today, but we just weren’t going to,” Freeze said. “He wanted to, but we just told him no.” Freeze said on Monday that he expects Wallace to be ready to go by Saturday, but if not, Brunetti would get the nod. Brunetti was 5-of-7 passing for 45 yards against

“Hopefully, we’ll get him there. We’ll go watch film with him tomorrow in meetings, make sure we answer all of his questions and make sure he understands all of his progressions.” Freeze said he expects Wallace to get some reps in Wednesday’s practice, but it all depends on how his
Other injury notes Senior defensive tackle Uriah Grant returned to practice on Tuesday and will be good to go on Saturday. Freshman defensive tackle Woodrow Hamilton remains sidelined with injury, but Freeze expects him to play against the Crimson Tide. As for junior wide receiver Korvic Neat, the Rebels’ second-leading receiver with 14 catches for 151 yards, it doesn’t look good. “Korvic, I’m not optimistic about,” Freeze said. “I just think we would irritate that and make it be long term. I think we just need to get it well.” Rebels prepare for hostile environment Freeze was pleased with the effort his team gave on Tuesday as they get their first taste of life in the SEC. “We let the defensive go live a period there, and they really looked good,” Freeze See BRUNETTI, PAGE 7

Freshman safety Trae Elston missed out on his first opportunity to play against a top-25 team when he was suspended by the SEC for a flagrant hit against UTEP. He’ll get his first taste of that type of game this weekend against top-ranked Alabama. BY BENNETT HIPP jpbhipp@go.olemiss.edu
Fresh off his first career start this past Saturday against Tulane, Ole Miss freshman safety Trae Elston is headed for a homecoming of sorts. The Oxford, Ala., native said the good-natured ribbing has already begun via text messages from friends back home in preparation for Saturday’s Alabama game in Tuscaloosa. “I’ve pretty much gotten a few text messages,” Elston said. “A lot of my friends go to Alabama, and they talk a few trash words and all that. Not too much.” Excitement over a football game like this is something that Elston is used to, having grown up in a football-crazed state like Alabama. “I think it’s pretty crazy,” he said. “My high school was pretty crazy about sports and football — especially football. I think Alabama is very different from Mississippi, but we’ll have to see.” Last week Elston started at safety and led the team in tackles with six. He also tacked on a sack, a tackle for loss and a pass breakup. “I think it went pretty good for our team, and I think we did good on defense,” Elston said. “We’ve just got to keep going at it.” It was a performance of which Ole Miss head coach See ELSTON, PAGE 7
