Advancements in technology give rise to fake IDs BY LEE HARRIS LTHarris11@gmail.com
Have you ever looked around the bar and said to yourself, “Wow, that kid looks like he’s 14.” Well, he might have been. During the first half of 2011, the Oxford Police Department charged approximately 50 individuals with possession of false identification; however, this number represents only a small portion of the fake IDs that were seized in Oxford this year. “The number of 50 can be a little misleading sometimes,” OPD chief Mike Martin said. “A lot of times when an officer catches you in possession of alcohol, and you have a false ID, they’ll only charge you with the minor in possession and just seize your ID.” This number is also misleading because it doesn’t include the IDs seized and turned over to police by private security working at bars and events. Martin said this brings the total number collected and destroyed each year well into the hundreds. John Darby, who worked as a bouncer for the last year at Funky’s and now is at Rooster’s Blues House, said that in

addition to the ones that are confiscated, many fake IDs recognized by doormen are not collected. “There are some bars that will take the ID, and then there are other bars that just turn you down,” Darby said. “There’s not really a set protocol as far as being required to take the ID or anything.” While fake IDs are not new, advancements in home computer technology in the last 20 years have changed the landscape of fake ID production. Large-scale print operations with high-quality printing presses are no longer neces-
sary to produce fake IDs. “Nowadays, with the computer software and the quality of printers that you have available, it’s made it a whole lot easier for people to manufacture false IDs,” Martin said. “And some of them are really good. You have to look twice at them. Sometimes three times.” The common sight of highquality personal printers in college towns has made the production of fake IDs much easier; however, it is another type of false identification that is much more prevalent in Oxford.
“What we see the most is mous because of the legal people that have other peo- implications surrounding this ple’s IDs,” Darby said. “You issue, said she uses her older get someone who will go to cousin’s ID.

Student-led kayak trip raises thousands for charities BY JOE SCOTT jwscott1.olemiss@gmail.com
The Board of Alderman adopted a proclamation recognizing Rob Treppendahl, Bowman Hitchens and Max Zoghbi for raising over $20,000 for Interfaith Compassion Ministries, in front a full court room. The three men raised this money by making a sponsored kayaking trip down the Mississippi River, from Lake Itsca, Minn., all the way to the river’s end in New Orleans. They called the initiative “A Wake In the Current.”

The 2,300 mile long trip took up 61 days. Each day Treppendahl, Hitchens and Zoghbi would sleep outside. The trip was made to raise awareness of what homeless people go through. Treppendahl is a former student of the University of Mississippi and Hitchens is a current Ole Miss senior. Zoghbi is a graduate of Louisiana State University. Through their adventure, the three raised over $20,000 for Interfaith Compassion Ministries and over $19,000 for the Gardere School in Baton Rouge, which helps give under privileged children a quality education.

Growing pains BY MEGAN MASSEY memassey1848@gmail.com
There are too many people on this campus. I love Ole Miss, and I’m glad so many people are interested in the school. However, if I have to park at my apartment, walk to school and arrive late to class because I can’t find a parking spot even though I started looking 45 minutes before my class starts, then we have a problem. If you commute, you know what I’m talking about. It takes getting here by 8:30 a.m., at the latest, to find a spot, and earlier than that if you want one anywhere near your class. In the past two weeks, I’ve seen cars parked in parking lots but not in actual spaces. I have even seen cars parked in the grass. This is getting a bit ridiculous. The university admitted 1,111 more students this year than last year, and we were already crowded then. This addition caused a lot more students to have to live off campus, which means a lot more people are commuting. I may come off as a whiny brat, especially when I could walk, ride my bike or take the bus to class, but that isn’t always a viable option. Some of the entrances to campus lack sidewalks, making it dangerous to walk. And what are we supposed to do when it rains, snows or is just ridiculously hot or cold outside? What if the bus is late or I misread the schedule? If the university is going to admit more and more students every year, then we should be sure that there is
adequate room to accommodate such a large student body. Ole Miss has always been a fairly small campus, and that’s something that drew many of us here. It was quaint and felt like home. Now, it feels as though we have the student body of a much larger campus crammed into our smaller one. I’m not opposed to growth so long as there is room for it. Chancellor Dan Jones said there are plans to expand the dining facilities. That’s a start. But it is far from being the only problem presented by having such a large amount of students, and while searching for a parking spot for an hour feels like hell, there are bigger problems than that as well. What are we going to do when classes begin to fill at a much faster rate and people get set back in finishing their degrees because they can’t get into the classes they need? We’ve always claimed to be the “Harvard of the South,” but Harvard is exclusive and limits the amount of students it accepts. I don’t hate freshmen, and I don’t think we should stop admitting students. But I do think there is room for a lot of discussion on the issue and how to address it. Adding more students without adding more parking, larger dining facilities and more living spaces just seems careless to me. We may be getting ahead of ourselves with all of this growth.

Thank the Tea Party BY ALEC JONES jonesalexander18@gmail.com
Hurricane Irene pummelled the Eastern seaboard recently, especially damaging New England states like Vermont. Ron Paul claimed the United States has no need for FEMA in the wake of this disaster, saying that the federal government does more harm than good when meddling in states’ affairs. This statement from the presidential contender especially drew criticism from the Left and provided yet another reason for people to call him crazy. Looking at the aftermath of the hurricane, however, something stands out: America has plenty of helicopters in Afghanistan and Iraq but not enough for Irene. This hurricane is likely one of the 10 most costly natural disasters in American history, with an expected recovery totaling between $7 and $10 billion.

The Tea Party is the only group fighting to end the stronghold of establishment politicians and would like to begin by ending our wars. The boldness of the Tea Party will either make it or break it, but the colloquial criticisms of the Tea Party are unwarranted. The Tea Party and the Ron Paul movement certainly advocate an America that sounds archaic and medieval — a world without a Department of Education, IRS, FEMA or any other forms of the nanny state. However, we could finance all of our entitlement programs until we’ve found a free market solution for them — if we just cut out the wars. America can fix the welfare state in time, but the warfare state is bankrupting us a lot faster. When the Tea Party is criticized by the Left, it actually hurts what See TEA PARTY, PAGE 3

This, however, is what America spends in one month on war. All six of the Vermont National Guard’s Black Hawk helicopters are overseas, forcing the Green Mountain State to borrow helicopters from New Hampshire and Illinois to dispense supplies to flood victims. This situation is greater than the downfalls of populism that Ron Paul was talking about. Irene reveals the hypocrisy of every mainstream Republican or Democrat who has not yet made a full-fledged conversion to the Tea Party. Both Republicans and Democrats are socialists — it’s just a matter of where the politicians think is the best place to spend our tax dollars. The Left prefers welfare at home, while the Right prefers warfare abroad. This paradigm completely divides America and allows big government to conquer.

BY ADAM GANUCHEAU aganucheau24@gmail.com
The University of Mississippi is known for its prolific alumni. Specifically, we are known for running the table in politics in the state of Mississippi. Trent Lott, one of the most respected congressmen in United States history, attended Ole Miss. Both U.S. senators representing Mississippi, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, attended Ole Miss. Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood also walked the campus in Oxford. The current governor of Mississippi and ground-breaking former lobbyist on Capitol Hill,

Despite record defense spending, allocating it to war has ignored the basic needs of the military.

These all leave America with its tail between its legs should we ever encounter a real threat, not
Haley Barbour, also attended Ole Miss. These are just a few of the impressive names who received diplomas from Ole Miss and who are involved in Mississippi state politics. We run this state. Look at the list of current and former Mississippi governors, congressmen, mayors, judges and attorneys. They share something with all of us: they bleed red and blue. Something they don’t share in common with many of us now is that they are from Mississippi. Last year, Ole Miss announced that the majority of its undergraduate students are from out of state. For most of us, this comes as no shock. Oxford is conveniently settled between large Southern cities like Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, At-
lanta and St. Louis. It seems like half the people I have met in the last two years are from Texas or Georgia. Atlanta Braves hats and Dallas Cowboys shirts are running rampant on campus. In one of my classes recently, we had to go around the room and say where we were from. Without exaggeration, about 10 percent of the class was from Mississippi. I immediately became an outsider in my own state. As if that wasn’t terrifying enough, the professor asked the class who planned to stay in Mississippi after we graduate from Ole Miss. Of the 80 to 90 people in the class, I was literally one of three who raised their hands. How exactly are we supposed to carry on the Ole Miss legacy of running state politics if so many out-of-state students will
just some tribesmen living in the deserts of the Middle East. This isn’t just fiscally insane but also anti-military and arguably anti-American. It’s also tough explaining why every member of the Democratic Party simply hasn’t joined the ranks of the Tea Party over the past few years. The DNC called forth President Barack Obama to allegedly steer the nation to safety and vindicate the anti-Bush sentiment. Obama has only expanded upon the neoconservative crusades of his predecessor. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not only continued, but also have been augmented in Libya, Yemen and Pakistan. The Patriot Act and Guantanamo Bay, which may serve some
purpose even if not in the eyes of Democrats, still exist under the Obama Administration. Even Obama’s socialization of health care, the most populist legislation he’s passed, isn’t a landmark issue to most Democrats and will likely be shot down in the Supreme Court in the coming years. The party of our country is no longer just the Republicans, and the party of the people is no longer the Democrats. The Tea Party is filling that void. The next time you consider criticizing Tea Party members for being extreme, you should simply thank them and ask them to be more extreme.

leave after college? This was just one class of 90 people – hardly enough to generalize the whole university; however, I have gotten the sense that this is the case. TSBU (The School Beneath Us) is claiming Mississippi as “their state,” citing the high percentage of in-state undergraduates. Sadly, Ole Miss has taken the back seat to potential future students. Instead of vamping up the advertising to high school students in Mississippi, we have increased advertising in the outof-state metropolitan areas that I mentioned earlier. The administration is performing an absolute injustice to the legacy, honor and tradition that is Ole Miss. In my not-sobold prediction of the week, I believe that Mississippi State University will run the table in Mississippi politics in 10 to 15
years. I am completely open to change, as is the university, clearly. I am not trying to hate on out-of-state students — we do, in fact, love you, too. However, the university is in the process of degrading our heritage and our history by admitting too many out-of-state students to the university. Our admissions department needs to get it together. The solution to Mississippi State bragging about its in-state students is not to go out of state to recruit outsiders who most likely will not contribute to the good of the state. This is the University of Mississippi — we should start acting like it. Adam Ganucheau is a sophomore journalism major from Hazlehurst. Follow him on Twitter @GanucheauAdam.

City makes decision on discovered silver
news briefs BOARD APPROVES ELECTRICITY HIKE Oxford electricity bills will increase. TVA will increase its rates by 2% in October. The Board of Alderman reluctantly approved this increase.
Secretary of State approves Col. Reb Initiative Intitiative 37 was approved and certified by Delbert Hosemann, Mississippi secretary of state, yesterday. Director of the Colonel Reb political action committee, Arthur Randallson, filed the intiative to seek the reinstatement of Col. Reb as the “official and sole mascot” of the University of Mississippi. In order for the intitiative to appear on the 2012 Miss., presidential election ballot, 100,000 registered voters must sign the petition, according to the press release. The signatures must be divided evenly amongst the former five Mississippi Congressional Districts.
State Rep. Mark DuVall filed legislation earlier in 2011, that would have forced the university to use Colonel Reb as it’s sole mascot and would also force the band to play both “Dixie” and “From dixie with love” at football and basketball games. The legislation never even made it to a vote. Last spring student members of the Col. Reb foundation delivered over 4,500 petitions to the office of the chancellor. In the fall of 2010 students and season ticket holders voted employ the Mississippi Black Bear as the new on the field mascot.

City officials debated on the authorization of the sale of silver recently found during the closing of the sale of Baptist Memorial Hospital. Two-hundred thousand dollars worth of silver was discovered in a safety deposit box that was once owned by the hospital’s original administrator. Forty-two bars of silver will be divided between the city and the county.

for bars, and its employees can be charged with serving alcohol to minors. Darby said this is why so few bars on the Square choose the 18-and-up admission policy. “It’s always harder to enforce that everyone drinking is 21 when you have an 18-and-up bar,” he said. “If it’s 21-and-up, you cut down

Officials discussed the sale of the silver. However, the city is entertaining the idea of keeping two of the bars to make commemorative coins for the city’s 175th anniversary next year. Silver coins were made for the city’s 150th year. “Next year is the 175th anniversary,” Mayor Pat Patterson said. “It would be neat to make a keepsake out of this.” Patterson first mentioned the idea at a special meeting on August 26. Patterson asked that the
city temporarily hold two of the bars to commemorate the 175th in someway. However, if officials cannot decide on a way to commemorate this celebration, the city will sell the bars. The silver bars are valued at 42 dollars an ounce and could sell tomorrow for two dollars below stock value. Potential buyers would not be allowed to observe the bars beforehand. However, pictures of each bar will be taken for convenience.
on a lot of that.” Martin said the front lines of the fight against fake IDs are at the doors of bars. OPD offers classes to help train bouncers and business owners on how to spot fake IDs. He also emphasized the importance of bar employees not relying on patrons having been in the bar before or having a wristband to signify they are 21. “As a waitress or bartender, you cannot just rely upon the bouncer to do their job,” Darby said. “I don’t care who’s
on that door; if I was the bartender or the waitress, I would check your ID.” The University Police Department also makes a handful of arrests each year for fake IDs. Captain Michael Harmon said they come across them during searches and arrests, especially during the fall. “As a rule, we don’t generally look for it,” Harmon said. “But we find more in the fall because of football, parties and Rush.”

Springer leads Rebels early in season BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@olemiss.edu
Senior Morgan Springer has provided consistent play for the Ole Miss Rebel volleyball team throughout her career. The libero has become what one could call the “dig master,” after recording her thousandth career dig last season. For the past two seasons, Stringer has started every match at the libero position. The libero in volleyball is a defensive specialist position that wears a different-colored jersey from her teammates, remains in the game at all times and is not limited by substitution rules that other players are. Springer has been involved in volleyball since she was 11-yearsold. She has played 10 years of volleyball, including eight years of travel volleyball before college. Her experience has proved to be an advantage during her Rebel career as she can frequently be seen rallying her teammates. “Last season, it started to become less about me and more about my teammates,” Springer said. “It was about helping people around me, and I feel it’s one of the biggest things I’ve ac-

secondary, defensive backs coach Keith Burns was happy about Sawyer’s success on Saturday. “He had the best camp,” Burns said. “What you love to have happen as a coach is when a guy comes in and had the camp that he had, you want to see something good happen for him.” “At the most opportune time, when we needed a guy to make a play, he stepped up and made a
complished here. I remember my transition to leader.” Last season Springer set a career high with 37 digs in a five-set victory over Southern Miss in last year’s Magnolia Invitational and also posted 26 double-digit dig matches; however, it is the home match against LSU that Springer remembers as one of her favorite Ole Miss volleyball memories. “We beat LSU at home,” Springer said. “They were ranked 12th in the nation at the time. We played so well as a team and worked together really well.” Springer does not plan to have her career end after her senior year as a Rebel. “I am planning to try to play overseas,” she said. “It is tough for my position, libero, but I’m going to give it a shot for a few years before I go to grad school.” Springer, along with her teammates, said she has high expectations for this season. Going into her final campaign as a Rebel, Springer is looking to be not only one of the best players on the floor, but also one of the team’s leaders. The Rebels had a tough first weekend at the Burnt Orange Classic, dropping two of their three matches, despite a good huge one,” Burns went on to say of Sawyer’s interception. “That to me was a great job by him and just a credit to how he’s worked. He certainly deserved it.” That interception and the overall play of the secondary, which included Sawyer in his new position as safety and junior Aaron Garbutt playing some spur, a hybrid linebacker/safety position, when Ole Miss played a 4-2-5 on defense, illustrated just how far Ole Miss has come defensively. “This defense has come a long way,” Sawyer said. “We still have

performance from Springer, who was named Libero of the Tournament. “We have seen a very good, solid performance from our libero, our defensive player on the back row, Morgan Springer,” head coach Joe Getzin said. Springer continued her solid play in the Crowne Plaza Classic at the University of Louisville. In the Rebels’ first match against Louisville, Springer was credited with 17 digs to lead the back-row defense in a four-set loss to the Cardinals. In the second match of the tournament against Eastern Illinois, Springer had a match-high
19 digs in the Rebels’ five-set victory. Springer had perhaps her best performance of the tournament in the Rebels’ final match against Wichita State. She had 25 digs, but the Rebels fell short and lost the match 3-1. “She has been putting up some very good numbers,” Getzin said. “At nearly five digs per set, she is near the top of the SEC.” Springer and the Rebels (1-4) will host their first tournament, the Magnolia Classic, this weekend at the Gillom Center. Opponents will include Arkansas-Little Rock (3-4), Central Arkansas (15) and Northwestern (5-0).
a long way to go, but it improved. We worked hard this off-season, so they improved.” That improvement was motivated by what happened last season, when Ole Miss was 11th in the Southeastern Conference in passing defense (246.3 ypg) and last with six interceptions. That ranking and the talk of the defensive struggles last season were not lost on this year’s Ole Miss team. “You never want to be at the end of anything,” Sawyer said. “That’s all coach Burns kept telling us: You guys are number 12
in the SEC. You’re number 12, and you don’t want to be at the end, so we took it personally.” With the BYU loss behind them, the focus for the Rebels is to keep learning and not let this loss affect their play going forward. “A loss is a loss, no matter if you lose by one or if you lose by a hundred,” Sawyer said. “You just have to keep playing. “You can’t say, ‘All right, our season’s over because we lost one.’ You’ve got to grow from this, and you’ve got to learn from it. Every game is a learning step.”

Sophomore Sawyer shines in new role at safety Saturday BY BENNETT HIPP jbhipp@olemiss.edu
PETRE THOMAS | The Daily Mississippian
Sophomore safety Charles Sawyer returns an interception from BYU sophomore quarterback Jake Heaps 96 yards for a touchdown.

“I just saw the quarterback and the ball pretty much,” Sawyer said. “I didn’t know the interception was going to happen, but I knew a good play was going to happen because we disguised (the coverage) so well.” After Sawyer impressed during fall camp, showing himself to be one of the best players in the See SAWYER, PAGE 5
