“It was a difficult week and I thought our kids came out with an edge as far as just to take control of the game, particularly offensively,” head coach

Hugh Freeze said. “Defensively, I thought we did well early on, then they did a few things we hadn’t seen on film that we had to make some adjustments too.

All and all I thought it was a solid effort.”

It didn’t waste any time doing so either. Chad Kelly threw the ball on four of Ole Miss’ first five plays from scrimmage as it tacked on three points less than two minutes into the game and then added three

touchdowns in as many drives.

Ole Miss scored on each of its four possessions in the first half, and all of them after the opening field goal came on

Ole Miss is in the running for most beautiful campus

ANNIE MAPP

thedmnews@gmail.com

Ole Miss is currently in the running for USA Today’s top 10 most beautiful campuses in the nation contest.

The current rank of No. 8 is not the best rank the university has received. The number could change within the next few days, since there are still 14 days of voting left.

Nathan Lazinsky, assistant superintendent of landscaping, said the university has continuously gained recognition for its beauty throughout the years.

So far, Ole Miss has received five national awards for beauty.

The Princeton Review, Newsweek and the Professional Grounds Management Society are a few who have recognized the university as well.

With the help of landscape services, Ole Miss has even managed to attain the No. 1 spot.

“We take a lot of pride in what we do, and it’s great because the whole campus takes pride in it and is proud of it as well,” Lazinsky said.

To keep the campus beautiful, Ole Miss landscaping workers undergo special training through Landscape University to keep their work consistent. The train-

Loving your body does not promote obesity

MIKALA TURNER

thedmopinion@gmail.com

Being one of the biggest girls in my class throughout my high school years, I always felt as if I was lesser in everything for having a little— more like a lot— of junk in my trunk.

Just like all kids encounter at one point or another, I had a lot of issues with bullies poking fun at my weight. It hit me hard back then, but just as almost everyone does, I grew up and

became more comfortable and confident with myself and the body that God blessed me with.

Although, it has recently come to light that body positivity coincides with promoting obesity.

I have watched many videos calling out big people on their weight, fat shaming celebrities and all around just being really mean for no good reason to people who did nothing wrong. For example, Nicole Arbour posted a video about how she does not feel bad for fat people because they are “taking their body for granted.”

Though the video was deleted speedily after being uploaded to YouTube, it had a lasting effect on those who watched it. I am one of those people. Being happy with your body does not mean you encourage an unhealthy lifestyle.

Also, to say that just being fat promotes obesity is so out

of this world that I will never even begin to comprehend how someone can even say that.

Body-positive campaigns have recently popped up everywhere on social media. This includes the #effyourbeautystandards campaign started by plus-size model, Tess Holliday, and the #NoBS or #NoBodyShaming hashtag coming from “My Big Fat Fabulous Life” star, Whitney Way Thore.

These and many more body-positive role models have never, not once, gotten caught promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. Thore actually encourages enormous amounts of exercise and has a “big girl dance studio” in Greensboro, North Carolina.

She also has an instructional dance and exercise DVD coming out soon to the general public called “Werk with Whitney!”

An Oxford local and fan of Thore’s show, Cheyenne Bry-

ant, had this to say about the way Thore using the forsaken ‘f-word’: “Whitney calls herself fat. She doesn’t see it as an insult, but an adjective, a way she describes herself.”

We should stop saying that being fat or being a confident fat person promotes obesity because 1) That is completely idiotic. 2) Confidence is contagious and should be something that is constantly spread. 3) Did I mention it was completely idiotic?

All in all, we should spread love and positivity every day.

If we spent more time complimenting others on their confidence than we do condemning them because they do not match up to the unachievable social standards of beauty, we would be living in a much better world.

continued from page 1 ing helps each worker perform the job task in the exact way the worker beside him does to give the campus uniformity. It also gives workers the opportunity to advance in their level of landscaping and become certified.

“Landscaping is a constant, changing thing so we are always trying to look for better ways, more efficient ways to do stuff, and we use a lot of input from our workers,” Lazinsky said.

Ole Miss’s efforts to keep the university competitively “beautiful” are the cheapest in the SEC per acre. Ole Miss only has 32 full-time employees, for a 1,000acre campus.

Although workers are limited, they still manage to complete the job even with ongoing construction on campus. Landscapers use construction as an opportunity to revamp other areas such as The Grove.

The landscapers say they like to believe they are helping the university with recruitment.

“When a student comes on campus to visit, they are already interested in the curriculum, so they are going to make their decision in the first five minutes based on appearance and how safe they feel, and if the parents see that the campus is taken care of, they know that their child will be too,” Lazinsky said.

Junior political science major Gabrielle Beech said she was positive about her decision to become a Rebel when she first stepped on campus.

“The university was so beautiful and well-kept. My parents were so surprised because they did not imagine such a beautiful campus in Mississippi. They fell in love immediately,” Beech said.

Conserving the Ole Miss campus is what landscape workers take pride in. For every tree that is taken down, they plant at least five.

Groundskeeper Amanda Klenke said workers always receive compliments around campus for their hard work.

“Anybody who walks around campus always lets us know we are doing a great job, and that is a great feeling,” Klenke said.

Kelly, Rebel offense limit turnovers against Wofford CODY THOMASON

thedmsports@gmail.com

Chad Kelly didn’t play like himself against Florida State.

While the senior quarterback threw for 313 yards and four touchdowns, he also threw three interceptions and fumbled once, in addition to only completing 53.8% if his passes.

Against Wofford, Kelly was able to bounce back and look like the quarterback who was voted first team All-SEC by the opposing SEC coaches in route to the 38-13 victory.

“It was huge. To play decent, to get a big win against a team like Wofford is good,” Kelly said.

continued from page 6 down to execution.”

Kelly threw for three touchdowns and 219 yards in the game, and was able to cut down on his turnovers, not throwing any interceptions or fumbling.

“I thought that (Kelly) was good," Freeze said. "He threw it well. He was 20-of-27. That is a pretty solid day for him.

I thought that was important.

He needs to get back to the

way he played the last seven games and I thought he did that today."

One of the problems with the offense in the first game was the lack of balance. The Rebels are definitely better at passing the ball, but they relied too much on their air attack and didn’t call enough runs to keep the defense honest. As a result, the Rebels passing game suffered late.

This week, offensive coordinator Dan Werner made sure that would not be an issue again.

CLASSIFIEDS INFORMATION

catching passes on the day.

Junior Markell Pack lead the group with three catches for 46 yards and a touchdown, with A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf and Quincy Adeboyejo also catching touchdowns.

After only having five days to prepare for Wofford, Ole Miss now has a full week to get ready for their week three matchup.

However, the stakes are even higher this week as top ranked Alabama is traveling to Oxford, and the Rebels are looking for their third consec-

utive upset against the Crimson Tide.

“I mean they’re a good team, they’re number one for a reason,” Kelly said.

“They’re always good, they recruit good, they have good coaches, they have good players. We’re just going to have to make sure it comes down to execution. At least we’ll have the home crowd on our side this week.”

continued from page 1 Chad Kelly touchdown passes.

The first to Markell Pack, the next to true freshman D.K. Metcalf and the last coming on a slant to Quincy Adeboyejo. Kelly finished 20-27 for 219 yards and the three scores. He did not turn the ball over either.

“That’s the best way to play football,” Kelly said. “Coach (Dan) Werner was harping all week on protecting the football and that’s what we did.”

The teams got an extended breather at the half as 30 minute a weather delay halted play. Ole Miss opened the half with an eight-play 77-yard drive capped off by Jason Pellerin plunging three yards forward into the end zone for his first career touchdown as a Rebel.

A looming question all week was whether or not redshirt freshman quarterback Shea Patterson would see action if Ole Miss got a big lead. He did take a snap in the game.

“Again it’s week to week,” Freeze said. “I sit down every week and have a conversation with him. He’s certainly talented enough to play. We discussed it this week and playing him in mop up duty probably isn’t the smartest thing at this juncture.”

Pellerin relieved Kelly of his duties midway through the fourth quarter. He ran for a score and then threw his first career touchdown pass to A.J. Brown on a

“I thought he was pretty solid. I thought he finished runs forward, which is very important for us in short yardage,” Freeze said.

“Thought the touchdown he threw to A.J. that was a corner fire, that wasn’t a pass play it was a run play and he saw that and didn’t hesitate.”

Ole Miss was hampered with

injuries again as Metcalf left the game in the second quarter with an apparent foot injury. Freeze said after the game that Metcalf broke his foot, and with a possible redshirt still in play, it is unlikely that he will return to the field this season.

“Some of those guys that have been here have to step up,” Kelly said. “(Damore’ea) Stringfellow,

Quincy all those guys. They’re ready to go. It just gives them another option to be in there.”

Victor Evans was shaken up on a kickoff and left the game with a head injury. Freeze said there was no update on his status.

Ole Miss (1-1) finished with 416 yards of total offense, 174 of which came on the ground.

fault because I thought we didn’t call enough, this game I saw the stats and we were averaging five yards per carry,” offensive coordinator Dan Werner said. “They guys run a run-stopping type of defense, so the fact that we got a bunch of yards, we were pretty good with it today.”

The Rebels take on No. 1 Alabama next week at home.
