Ford Foundation increases science contributions MORGAN WALKER

Interim Chancellor Morris Stocks announced the Ford Foundation will be expanding their initial $20 million gift to $25 million in support of the newly proposed science building Friday.

This increase in funding totals the Ford Foundation’s support of the university to approximately $53.5 million.

Faculty, students and community members gathered at the steps of the Lyceum in honor of the Gertrude C. Ford Foundation board members and for the presentation of the gift.

University leaders, Stocks and

Associate Provost Noel Wilken thanked and accredited this achievement to Ford Foundation board members Anthony Papa, Cheryle Sims and John Lewis. The blueprints were also on display revealing both the science building and the Gertrude C. Ford Way, a walkway that will be used to connect the Grove to the new science building.

Ford Way is intended to serve as a commemoration to Gertrude Ford’s love of the arts and honor William Faulkner’s literary works. As a way to integrate both the arts and sciences, the walkway will create a walking corridor through the Science

Senate

HARTLEE GABBERT

The Associated Student Body Senate voted in approval of a bill Tuesday that reduces the number of seats in the legislative body and re-distributes the seats through a new system.

With the removal of 34 seats, the Senate will now have 48 seats, 20 of which will be appropriated to academic schools based on their size. The Associated Student Body will divide the remaining 28 seats among 14 categories of student organizations defined by the Office of the Dean of Students and adopted by the senate.

The categories include academic/professional, cultural/multicultural, honorary/honors societies, political, religious/spiritual, special interest, sponsored, sport clubs, student governance, wellness and health, Panhellenic, the Interfraternity Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council.

“The purpose behind these changes is to create a more well-represented campus,” John Brahan, Associated Student Body vice president, said.

As the senate stands, 96 percent of its members are white and 74 percent are Greek-affiliated, Brahan said. According to the UM Institutional Research and Admissions statistics from the 2014-2015 academic year, the campus is 71 percent white and 41 percent Greek-affiliated.

“Through this new method, senate will hopefully have a more accurate representation of the demographics on campus and will create diversity of opinion,” Brahan said.

Junior business marketing and art major Bella Gonzalez said this change could increase the longterm impact senate has on campus.

“We will have voices on senate we’ve never heard from,” Gonzalez said. “This could be the mark when we look back on Ole Miss history and say, ‘We did that.’”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

RV’s don’t belong in Park-N-Ride It’s come to my attention that the RVs that are in the south lot are severely interfering with Park and Ride commuters the Friday before game day.

For whatever reason, the RVs are allowed to park their vehicles starting Thursday night, 2 days ahead of the football game.

This in turn leaves the lot to be significantly sectioned off Friday morning while a large majority of students still have class, some with quizzes/ tests.

While I am in favor of letting RVs park here, I disagree with the initial time that they are allowed in to park for the weekend.

Thursday afternoon is simply too far in advance. In addition, it is crippling the ef-

ficiency of the Park and Ride OUT Bus drivers.

It’s only been once so far this school year but after waiting before classes to get to campus and after classes to go home I’ve waited an additional 50 min in total for a bus.

Maybe this is because the bus cannot weave in and out through the difficult path they must take to get around the RV boundaries, and that they eventually end up going back and forth together instead of in turns.

All of this could be managed more efficiently - as Park and Ride is intended to be - if the RVs were granted access starting around 3-4 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

(or even Thursday) prior to the game.

To make sure students move their cars by the time RVs begin to move in, an email should be sent out before the new rule is enacted so that they are made sure of ahead of time.

I do not see this to be an extensive request, especially when time sensitive issues for students are at stake such as: tests, deadlines, meetings, or even going to work.

Yes, one could arrive earlier to ensure 1 of the 100 parking spots left available, but it’s unfair to ask that of students to arrive an hour early when they paid for a Park and Ride pass over a Commuter pass specifically for that reason.

I’d like to think that students (potential donors and alumni) who pay thousands in tuition are considered first over RV tailgaters who, I’m sure, just pay a small fee and spend their 3 day tailgate waving their Confederate flags all over the South Lot where there should always be easy access to campus for students.

will be more difficult for freshmen to run. Amelia Rhodes, a freshman elementary education major, said, “I like the changes that senate is making because it will diversify senate; however, as a freshman, it really changes things for those of us trying to run this year.”

In order to compensate for the loss of seats, the Senate has created seven new positions specifically for freshmen called legislative aids. They will serve as secretaries to a committee and will work closely with a committee chair while still being able to author bills. However, they are not voting members.

The hope for these seven freshmen is better preparation through the position to serve as productive senators in later years.

Senate also introduced a new policy for its funding of student organizations. In the past, organizations had to apply for a lump sum of funding at the beginning of the year and submit similar subsequent applications for each

District, which is the area between University Avenue and All American Drive. Ford Way will begin at the edge of the Grove, continue through the new science building and reach a plaza between Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and the Pavilion at Ole Miss Arena.

According to Stocks, the University has grown tremendously in the past years and is in desperate need of new educational and research opportunities to accommodate the growing interest in STEM, science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

“The University has been calling for more science teaching space for many years,” Stocks said. “We’ve grown by a third more STEM majors than we’ve ever had and we’ve been looking for ways to find additional teaching resources. This facility, which will be the largest facility on campus, will help us meet that need.”

According to Wilken, the 200,000 square-foot, $135

individual purchase they made.

In an effort to make the process more efficient for student organizations, it is now rolling and distributed on first-come, firstserved basis. Organizations will now only apply per-purchase.

Funding requests will be due every Thursday at 11:59 p.m. and organizations will be notified by the following Friday as to the status of the request.

Associated Student Body treasurer Kate Aspinwall said ASB recognized and wanted to

address the changes in needs among student organizations throughout the year.

Along with the changes of procedures, there will now be a detailed Student Organization Expenditure policy available at all times to students in an attempt to make the funding process more transparent.

Petitions for Associated Student Body Senate hopefuls are due Tuesday before 4 p.m to the ASB office in the Student Union.

million addition to the Science District will transform how the school teaches science and will develop the next generation of STEM graduates.

Anthony Papa said he feels strong that this addition will have a positive impact on the future of the University.

“The science building was a great idea that began with Chancellor Dan Jones,” Papa said.

“We were dedicated to his idea and are pleased to begin construction on the new science building, but it was his thought and all the praise and glory goes to Dan Jones.”

Senior international studies and pre-med major Lizzy Wicks said she is hopeful that the addition will attract more students to the University.

“It’s going to be a great addition to the university,” Wicks said. “The fact that it is interdisciplinary is going to be a great way to attract more STEM majors. It’s important to support the sciences.”

Construction on Ford Way and the science building will begin in Spring 2016, and is expected to be completed by fall 2018.

Miley Cyrus feels like butter in her newest album HAILEA LAMER

hrlamer@go.olemiss.edu

When Miley Cyrus dropped her fifth album, “Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz,” after her wild Video Music Awards performance, many fans weren’t sure what to expect. Created outside of her record label for $50,000, Cyrus released her newest album through SoundCloud after hosting the VMAs. “Dead Petz” is a mix of songs that includes potential dance beats, slow songs and just generally interesting jams.

When you enter the website, www.mileycyrus.com/andherdeadpetz, you’ll be greeted with one of three things: Cyrus’ face covered in glitter, her face dripping with milk, or her face covered in a gooey sprinkle mixture. All weird, all very Miley-esque.

The album’s first track “Dooo It!!” kicks off the “Dead Petz” with a strange yet catchy vibe. The song captured Cyrus fans’ attention when she performed it alongside her dragqueen friends during the song’s debut at the VMAs. Believe it or not, “Dooo It!!” isn’t even the weirdest track on the album.

In “Slab of Butter (Scorpion) (featuring Sarah Barthel of Phantogram),” Cyrus sings about how she “feels like a slab of butter that is melting in the sun” over and over again. First of all, I would like to know where she found Sarah Barthel of Phantogram because I’ve never heard of her

and I’m guessing neither has 98% of the population. Second, why does she feel like butter? Some things we’ll never know.

To balance out all of the funky-druggie songs on the album, Cyrus included a few slower, more emotional tracks. In a few songs, she sounds like she’s channelling her inner Lana del Rey, especially in tracks like “Cyrus Skies” and “Evil is but a Shadow.” Her vocals are different and have an edgy feel, making her sultrier songs some of the best on the album.

Since the album title seems to infer many of the songs would include dead pets, I was surprised to find that only two of the 23 songs were dedicated to her deceased animals. The pets that made the cut included her husky Floyd, whom she sang about in “The Floyd Song (Sunrise),” and a blowfish named Pablow, who caused an excessive outburst of tears from Cyrus in “Pablow the Blowfish.” I never knew someone could get so emotional about a fish, but the song is touching in a unique way and worth a listen.

Some critics have said that “Dead Petz” Cyrus’ realest album. The singer exposes her sensitive side, reminding us that behind all the glitter and tight plastic bras, Cyrus is a human being with feelings.

Her softer side can be seen when she reveals her fears of never getting over someone (Liam Hemsworth, perhaps?)

in “I Get So Scared,” or when she actually starts screaming about how she’s unsure what her dreams mean in “Twinkle Song.”

After listening to nearly two hours of music, it was clear to me that “Dead Petz” is nothing like any of the albums Cyrus has come out with in the past.

If you’re expecting something like “Bangerz,” you won’t find it here. It was very clear Cyrus followed no rules in the creation of this album besides doing whatever she wanted.

Unless you’re a hardcore Miley fan and have supported everything she’s ever done, or you’re just feeling psychedelic, this album probably is not for you. Otherwise, pray that she lays off the drugs and that her next album is somewhat normal.

The Rebels took 30 shots, 17 in the first half, but remained positive even as their numerous attempts to find the back of the net were unsuccessful.

“I’m happy with the way they kept pressing and kept getting after it. There are plenty of SEC teams that have had games very similar to this and they’ve walked away with a 0-0 draw,” Mott said.

“For us to finish the game was huge.”

Gray took the ball near the end line and tried to cross the ball to Kizer. It ricocheted off of an Arkansas-Little Rock defender, but Kizer was able to adjust and send her shot past the goalkeeper. The goal was Kizer’s sixth of the season, which leads the team.

The Trojans were content to sit back and defend, and their defensive-minded approach frustrated the Rebel offense.

“Their goalkeeper played fantastic,” Mott said. “Sometimes you run into a hot goalkeeper and it makes it really hard. I think we’re fortunate to get out of here with a win in overtime because of the way they defended.”

The Rebels had plenty of opportunities to score in the first half. The best chance came when junior defender Georgia Russell ran into

The Ole Miss soccer team fought to the end and earned a 2-2 draw with UCF Friday night at the Ole Miss soccer complex. The Rebels remained undefeated and moved to 3-0-2 on the season, while the Knights moved to 3-1-1.

“Obviously we wanted the win, but we’ll take a tie with a really tough team,” CeCe Kizer, freshman forward and defender, said.

Treadwell looked a little rusty in his first game back as he missed a few routes and dropped some passes from Kelly and Buchanan. Freeze took some of the blame for Treadwell’s performance, saying he did Treadwell ‘some injustice’ for being protective with his injury.

Treadwell admitted he was rusty coming back for live action, but he looks to build on this performance and improve for the rest of the season.

“I still have a lot of work to do, not being live then going out there and catching the ball,” Treadwell said of his performance. “I wasn’t really locking all the way in and doing the little things right. That caused some

Rebels dominate Skyhawks, 76-3

DYLAN RUBINO

thedmsports@gmail.com

Temperatures were recorded in the mid-to-upper 90s by opening kickoff, and the Rebels’ play offensively reflected the scorching temperatures at Vaught-Hemingway Saturday afternoon.

It was expected to be an easy win for 17th ranked Ole Miss, but the offense put their foot on the gas pedal and never let off, cruising to a 76-3 win over UT-Martin.

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said he felt “anxious” about Saturday’s opening game compared to last year’s game against Boise State. Those feelings quickly went away as his players fired on all cylinders in their season opener, even some of his younger players.

“It was a good day for us,” Freeze said. “To be excited for all of the young kids to get in and make plays, and to see them enjoying the game of football it is very rewarding. This game is a grind, and I am just really happy that all of them could get in.”

The first game of any college football season brings optimism and excitement for every pro-

gram, but one small, dark cloud hangs over Ole Miss with the status of junior offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil.

Tunsil was held out of the game Saturday as a precaution of the NCAA investigation.

“I know that our university cooperates with the process in any of these situations, fully,” Freeze said of Tunsil. “Because of this, I am not privy to any of that information.”

Even without the star left tackle, the offense did not skip a beat from start to finish as their 76 points were the most scored in a game since the 1935 season.

Ole Miss also racked up 662 total yards of offense. Everything was working for the offense, and the plethora of points were coming in bunches.

Junior quarterback Chad Kelly got the first snap for the Rebels and made the most of his opportunities. The junior transfer from East Mississippi Community College finished 9-15 passing for 211 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Kelly also added a 20-yard TD run in the third quarter.

“I thought Chad’s performance was really solid,” Freeze said. “He did miss a touchdown

throw, and probably could have thrown one a little bit better on the fade to Laquon Treadwell early in the game, but outside of that I think he had a solid day.”

“I’m just happy I could be out there with my brothers, my coaches, my teammates and being out there for the fans,” Kelly said. “It’s great to get the first game under the belt and I’m just excited about the upcoming season. There’s always room for improvement.”

Redshirt sophomores Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade also had their moments throughout the game. Buchanan finished 4-6 passing for 58 yards and two touchdowns and Kincade finished 6-7 passing for 55 yards and one score.

The quarterbacks weren’t the only ones who shined on Saturday; 10 different players scored touchdowns for Ole Miss.

The surprise of the day on offense came from junior defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, who caught a pass from Buchanan out of the backfield and rumbled for a 31-yard score in the second quarter.
