As a part of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Center of Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement hosts Latin Dancing with the Stars on the Union Plaza Tuesday.

Memphis-born Katrina Myers Caldwell is excited for the chance to come back home South.

She’s spent her last 24 years above the Mason-Dixon line, teaching classes and managing programs at universities across Illinois.

Now she wants to be the first Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Community Engagement here at Ole Miss.

Caldwell is the last candidate to interview for the position.

Caldwell is the assistant vice-president for diversity and equity at Northern Illinois University, where she’s been since 2012. Before that, she directed the Center for Intercultural Programs and Adult Student Affairs at DePaul University in Chicago.

As she started her presentation, Caldwell defined the words in her own job title.

A lot of the time, she said, broad terms like “equity” and “diversity” can lose their mean-

Bursar saves money by reducing printed statements SAMANTHA WHITTLE

smwhittl@go.olemiss.edu

The Office of the Bursar has decided to no longer mail monthly paper bill statements to students’ mailing addresses.

The transition officially went into effect July 1, and students are encouraged to use the link in their monthly email statements from the Bursar’s Office to pay their tuition and fees online.

The online statement site was created by Bursar Edward Ratliff and senior technical architect Chris Provence, along with a team of people from each department within the Bursar’s Office.

“We have been talking for years about starting e-bills,”

Ratliff said. “We have been actively working on it since January and were finally able to inform everyone about the change in late spring and officially ‘go live’ over the summer.”

According to Ratliff, the site required a lot of testing in order to make it simple and consistent across all platforms.

“With any project, challenges are expected,” Provence said. “No problems that were unexpected occurred with this project during the development phase. With the proper planning and the timeline we had for the project, it was not as difficult as we initially thought it would be.”

GUEST COLUMN

Liberals denied the spirit UM should acknowledge of America before Trump its use of slave labor GUEST COLUMN

JULIA GRANT

thedmopinion@gmail.com

A series of events over the past few years have left some Americans clutching our flags and nervously humming “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Whether it was students at the University of California, Irvine voting to take down the flag or a professor at the University of New Hampshire deeming the term “American” offensive, patriots across the nation have broken out in cold, indignant sweats as they watch their country be subjected to irrational demonization.

Their frustration culminated in a campaign founded on reactionary fury, one that calls desperately and decisively to “Make America Great Again.”

The lure of this particular slogan is not particularly elusive or erroneous — rather, it is the inevitable release of citizens’ ragged rage of their country being stripped away, piece by piece.

And yet, now the Left wishes to deride the spirit of Trump’s campaign by pledging earnestly, dearly, sincerely that this country is the best on Earth, and you, sir, are an insult to the beau-

ty of liberty.

Seriously? You can hardly talk about our nation’s history without choking and spitting out disdain for our “rich white” founding fathers. And you want to criticize Trump’s following for refusing to acknowledge the grandeur of a country whose reputation you have unabashedly attempted to tarnish?

Republicans have never mourned the foundational values of the country and Constitution we have fought so terribly to preserve. If you want to talk lovingly of the Republic, we’re all ears. But no one likes a two-faced opportunist — and the ridiculousness of being divided over something we agree on borders on humor. Make up your minds.

If you’re ashamed to be an American, and you think Trump is the perfect concoction of everything that is wrong with the majority in this country, fess up — do not suddenly come back with your head held high, trying to distract us from the tail between your legs.

Julia Grant is a public policy leadership and journalism major from Gulfport.

In 1848 the Mississippi Legislature chartered the University of Mississippi – an institution “founded originally,” as UM Chancellor John Newton Waddel stated in 1870, “for the education of the white race.” This campus prohibited blackness till James Meredith forcibly integrated UM, but our university was built upon the backs of enslaved African-Americans.

All but one of UM’s original thirteen Board of Trustee members owned slaves, and according to 1850 census data, they collectively owned over 700 people. The Board of Trustees minutes indicate that local slaveholders, including Robert Sheegog, Jacob Thompson, J.E. Market, and unnamed others, leased slaves to the university to assist in early land-clearing and construction efforts. Slave labor built the Lyceum, the Croft Institute (formerly the Old Chapel), and the Barnard Observatory. University Presidents Augustus B. Longstreet (10), Frederick A.P. Barnard (2), and John Waddel (7) owned slaves, and the 1860 Federal Census Slave Schedule shows UM faculty members owned a total of 118 slaves. Acts of violence and abuse against slaves were not uncommon: UM records reference the sexual assault of Jane, a female slave, in 1860, and “college negros” were frequently beat and whipped.

The old times here are not forgotten, yet official histories omit our university’s relationship with the peculiar institution of slavery.

Our buildings and halls honor white supremacy and its adherents, including slaveholders Lamar, Longstreet, and Barnard, and segregationists Paul B. Johnson Jr. and Trent Lott; but UM has forgotten Jane, Marcus, and Martin, the “college negroes.”

The legacy of University of Mississippi is rooted in enslavement and exploitation, but we have an obligation to build a future founded on principles of reconciliation and healing. As an institution of higher learning, our university must confront the dark truths of our past, and attempt to atone. This process of soul-searching will raise difficult and complex questions: How can the University of Mississippi reconcile its sins? What is the debt that this institution owes? What steps must be taken to repay that debt? To whom is that debt owed? What answers we may find will be controversial and painful. Yet UM has a unique responsibility to its community and its students to publicly acknowledge and address the university’s relationship with slavery, and rectify the wrongs perpetrated against African Americans by the university.

BURSAR

DIVERSITY

Prior to the transition, Ratliff said the office was sending around eight to nine thousand statements to students during slow months and more than 20,000 statements during busy months.

Ratliff said that on postage alone, the office is now saving about $2,000 with the use of electronic statements.

“By sending electronic statements, not only are we trying to do our part towards the green initiative, but we are also saving several thousands of dollars in printing costs,” he said.

“There are still a few students and parents who request paper, however, the majority of people have a good response to the change.”

Ratliff said the Bursar’s Office is only mailing a few hundred paper statements each month to former students whose myOleMiss account is inactive, but who still owe a balance to the university.

Students who prefer a printed statement for a legitimate reason are able to print it from the link provided in the email.

The printed statement is still official and contains the university logo.

Ratliff said sending electronic rather than paper statements will not only benefit the university and the Bursar’s Office, but students and parents as well.

“It is more efficient and convenient by getting the statements to the students sooner and giving the students or guardians more time to pay it,” Ratliff said. “The statements are also more current because the link provides a real-time view of the account rather than an older paper statement.”

According to Ratliff, students are accustomed to the world’s increased use of technology, which makes paying statements online easier. Students can now pay bills at any time of any day, even holidays.

“It’s more self-service,” he said. “We would also like to create a mobile bursar site sometime in the future. That will make it even easier for the students to access their statements.”

“You need to know what you’re trying to address,” she said. “Equity is about removing barriers for those who have been marginalized by our community, diversity is about inviting all students to apply to join our campus.”

She said she wants to make all students, prospective or enrolled, feel like Ole Miss is a welcoming place.

Growing up in Memphis, her mother told her she couldn’t apply to Ole Miss because of the issues surrounding race and diversity. Caldwell said that this time around, her mom pushed her to apply for this position.

“What I’ve read and heard about this institution and the work that you’re doing, I want to be a part of that,” Caldwell said. “It takes people to make change happen and, from what I’ve seen, I think you’ve got the people here.”

Caldwell said she knows how important people are to a big university. She said she cares about the faculty she hires and works hard to get to know her students.

“I do approach things from a story,” she said. “I start with a story first. It’s the best way I learn, so I use it as a tool.”

Sophomore public policy major Jarrius Adams attended all four open forums. He said he’s walking away with a much better perception of diversity, and got a lot out of the open process.

“I really felt like the university cared about what the students feel,” Adams said. “And you know I love me some educated African-American women.”

Caldwell took time at the end of her presentation to ask the student audience what steps Ole Miss needs to take in terms of diversity.

Two students said they felt the administration’s changes haven’t done much.

Caldwell said change will take time, and said people like her don’t do diversity work to make an immediate mark. The scope PHOTO BY: KAMERA GRIFFIN is long, and the path is rough.

Review: Mac Miller’s ‘The Divine Feminine’ takes listeners on a journey of love CAMERON BROOKS

cambrooksphoto@gmail.com

As colder weather approaches, along with the prolonged indoor activity that comes with it, it’s safe to say cuffing season is nearly in full effect. Mac Miller couldn’t have released his forthcoming album, “The Divine Feminine,” at a better time. The album revolves around the concept of love, and it’s apparent from the first song through the last.

While on Beats 1 Radio with Zane Lowe, Mac Miller described how the concept for the album’s title was based off the energy of the world being a female energy that mirrors the soul of a woman. Miller said “The Divine Feminine” originally began as an EP all about the journey love takes you on.

1

“Congratulations” (ft. Bilal) Miller sets the mood for the whole album in this song. He starts off with a lengthy repetition of the word “love” before digging into the rest of the 10-song album.

His lyrics are extremely relatable for almost any young couple and highlight the highs that come with relationships along with the baggage that follows. Despite reaching deep into the hearts of listeners right off the bat, he still shows flashbacks of his younger, immature self with basic lyrics that many rappers can easily duplicate.

8

“We” (ft. CeeLo Green) Forget you? Kung Fu Fighting? CeeLo Green features on this song and brings a big following with him that will explore what I think is one of Miller’s best songs on the album. I picture myself driving late at night in a complicated state in my relationship, as Green puts out a very warm sound that soothes my senses. Miller expresses the problems occurring in his relationship with this song. In his second verse he goes into great detail about this, explaining that even while he gets high he can’t get over her. My favorite line in the song is, “You cross my mind, do not apologize for being fine as hell,” where the religious references “cross” and “hell” explain the good and bad that come with relationships.

“Skin” The horn is back but with a completely different sound. The notes are stretched out and give off a seductive sound that matches the slower tempo throughout the song. It’s easy to get lost in the jazz while listening to this song instead of concentrating on the lyrics.

The sound gives off the same feeling as lying in bed, finally getting to relax after a long day.

9

“My Favorite Part” (ft. Ariana Grande) I see this as Miller pouring out his love to Grande. She opens up with the line, “Don’t know why thinking of him makes me smile,” which sets the mood for the rest of the song. From the “clueless” references that Grande is associated with, Miller addresses her directly with lyrics that quite simply pull her in close and try to gain her love.

2

“Dang!” (ft. Anderson .Paak) Anderson .Paak makes this song special.

Miller released “Dang!” while announcing the album late this past summer, and it has a specific sound that only .Paak can make. This song is catchy and makes my head bob to the bounce of the beat. It’s a completely different sound than the rest of the album, but one of my favorites from Miller in a long time.

5

“Cinderella” (ft. Ty Dolla $ign) For some odd reason, this song draws me in more than any other on this album. The lyrics aren’t extraordinary and nothing really stands out, yet I have had this on repeat since the release of the album. Miller & Ty Dolla $ign keep referring to this “moment” that I feel can be applied to any aspect of a relationship. From a first date or first kiss to getting on one knee, I feel like this song reflects the beauty in one single moment in time.

10

“God is Fair, Sexy Nasty” (ft. Kendrick Lamar) This is not what I would expect out of a Kendrick and Mac collab but I love it. Completely contrasted from their old collab on “Macadelic,” titled “Fight The Feeling,” Lamar seems to deal with melodies rather than rapping.

“It goes so many places. It sounds like being in the ocean, relaxing, calm, floating and just like there and comfortable in your thoughts,” Miller told Beats 1 radio. This song is a perfect way to end the album and is the most interesting in terms of sound.

6

3

“Stay” All I can say is “wow.” This song has a strong jazzy vibe and the harmony is pure. The trumpet catches your attention immediately with an elegant, rich buzz and gives this track an uplifting feeling that separates it from the rest of the album. Mac mentions a Grammy-nominated woman, and all signs point to Ariana Grande, who is rumored to be in a relationship with Mac Miller. Maybe Miller is referring to her throughout the whole song? I’ll leave that one up to Mac to explain.

“Planet God Damn” (ft. Njomza) Njomza stands out on this song.

I haven’t heard of her until this, and I’m hooked on the delicate sound she puts out. On Miller’s end, this song features the most actual rapping compared to the rest of the album. He steers away from singing, leaving that up to Njomza, and dives head first into the rhyming, which I normally like.

However, this song is very loose and doesn’t hold my attention, that is, until Njomza starts to sing again.

7

“Soulmate” This song gives off a very trippy sound that makes me feel as if I am in space. Even when Miller comes in after a sampled speaking voice in the beginning, I feel as if I am floating around in space with this playing in the background. I really like to see Miller push himself out of his comfort zone with songs such as these that stray away from his other pieces of art.

If you’re looking for an album full of bangers to play at party, this isn’t it.

This album is meant to be listened to with your significant other, curled up in bed or in deep thought. Mac shows his maturity has changed along with the style of his music since his prior projects. He continues to move away from the cheesy hit songs that made him famous. The variety of music he puts out truly separates him from many of the artists currently topping the charts.

Mac Miller starts “The Divine Feminine” tour later this month and makes a stop in Memphis at Minglewood Hall on Friday, Oct. 21.

More than an Emoji: Try your hand at these eggplant recipes ZOE MCDONALD

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

The eggplant comes in many shapes, sizes and shades of purple. For millennials, the eggplant might most be recognized by its Emoji fame. However, there is so much more to this purple gourd. For vegetarians like myself, the eggplant is a wonderful and tasty meat substitute. The eggplant is more versatile than people give it credit for. It can be grilled or sautéed for a healthy side dish, or it can be baked into a luxurious and hearty eggplant parmesan. Eggplant, aubergine — whatever one calls it — deserves to be given a chance by everyone. For the best quality eggplants, look for them before the end of the summer weather.

For eggplant preparation: About an hour before starting to cook, sprinkle sliced or chopped eggplant thoroughly with salt until all sides are covered. Place them in a colander or dish for about 30 minutes to an hour. This process helps remove the bitter taste from the eggplant.

FRIED EGGPLANT ROUNDS This is a great eggplant recipe to start with, mostly because you can do most anything with the fried rounds once you make them. Some great ideas include serving them with a salad or pasta dish, on eggplant sandwiches and burgers, and of course, you can use the rounds to create an eggplant parmesan dish.

• • • • • •

1 large or 2-3 small eggplants, sliced into rounds Salt 1/2 cup olive oil 2-3 cups dry bread crumbs (I use Italian bread crumbs, but go with whatever will satisfy your taste.)

2 eggs 1/4 cup water

Slice the eggplant into rounds about 1/2 inch thick and follow the directions above to drain the bitterness from the eggplant.

After the eggplant slices drain, rinse each slice with water until all the salt is removed. Dry the slices thoroughly. In a bowl, crack the two eggs and beat.

Add about 1/4 cup of water to the eggs. In another large bowl, add the bread crumbs. Line the bowls up next to the stove. This will be your dredging station. Fill the bottom of a large skillet with a thin layer of olive oil. Keep the oil handy: You may need to add another batch of oil halfway into cooking the eggplant slices because bread crumbs will break off and inevitably keep cooking in the oil.

Heat the pan to medium. Once it’s hot, begin by dredging the slices first in the egg mixture and then the bread crumbs. Cook on both sides for a few minutes each or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with napkins to soak up excess oil. Serve as-is or with a meal of choice.

GARLIC EGGPLANT WITH CAPERS

RECIPE COURTESY MODERNGRANOLA.COM

I found this recipe recently, as I was looking for a quick way to use a haul of eggplants from the farmer’s market. It’s delicious, easy and will complement pasta, salad or any meat dish.

• • • • • • • • •

1 large eggplant 2 tablespoons olive oil, separated Salt Pepper to taste 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon dried oregano or an italian herb mix 1 tablespoon capers 1 lemon, juiced Fresh basil to garnish

Cut the eggplant into 1-inch cubes and follow the directions above to drain. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and wait until it begins to ripple. Add the eggplant to the pan and quickly toss. Let sit for 3 minutes. Mince the garlic and set aside for later. Add the salt and pepper to the eggplant. Cook, tossing the eggplant occasionally. Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan to steam the eggplant. After about 10 minutes, push the eggplant to the edge of the pan and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the center. Then add the minced garlic and dried herbs.

Toss them in the oil, and then mix in with the eggplant. Add the capers and lemon juice. Serve garnished with fresh basil.

Soccer team prepares for Mississippi State rivalry SAM HARRES

thedmsports@gmail.com

It was a mixed bag of sorts for the Ole Miss women’s soccer team this weekend. On Friday, Head Coach Matt Mott traveled with his team down to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to face off against a dangerous Louisiana State University team. After a strong start from the Rebels that included several chances on goal, it would be LSU who would strike first off a penalty kick late in the first half. The second half was even less forgiving as the Rebels gave up two more goals, one off another penalty kick and another off a corner, to make it 3-0. After the loss, Mott said he felt that certain aspects of the game were out of his team’s control.

“We walked away from the

game thinking that wasn’t a 3-0 game if you look at the game in between the 18-yard boxes. But that is soccer sometimes and it was certainly painful,” Mott said.

That was not the end of the weekend for Ole Miss, however, as they traveled north to play Tulsa on Sunday night. At first glance, it appeared the Rebels were about to fall into the same hole they fell into on Friday. They conceded an early goal just 10 minutes in and for the second time in 3 days, went into halftime down 1-0. Mott knew what he had to do.

“We went into halftime and I challenged them. I challenged the seniors and talked about what it meant to be an Ole Miss Rebel and to wear the jersey,” Mott said.

“We haven’t really been down that road this year, and they came

CROSSWORD PUZZLE BROUGHT TO YOU BY DOMINO’S

Introducing 3 Salads “They are having the best year they have had since I have been here. They are very dangerous.

They have one of the best players in the league in Mallory Eubanks.

She is dangerous. They have a center-back in the back that can kick the ball about 60 or 70 yards and can throw it just as far. She is a big, strong player that we will need to be prepared for. They score a lot of goals. They are very well coached and I expect it to be a great game.”

With their loss against LSU in the past and their triumph over Tulsa still fresh in their minds, the Ole Miss women’s soccer team has a big week ahead of them.

The Rebels and Bulldogs will face off at 6 p.m. Thursday at home.

Gross provides veteran leadership for struggling Rebels CODY THOMASON

With Ole Miss losing two close games against elite teams early in the season, it would be easy for the Rebels to give up on the season and play with lackluster effort.

However, it seems like the Rebels are prepared to keep fighting for the rest of the season, and senior leaders like Isaac Gross will be key for the team to stay on track and motivated. “(Sunday) we just told each other, go watch that film, see what you did wrong, and just notice at the end of the day, no matter how long we’re on the field we have to finish,” Gross said of the defense. “Our offense goes fast, we know that.

That being said, when we get

a chance to get back out there on that field we’re just gonna have to play 60 minutes. It doesn’t matter how long we are out there or what, it’s just football.”

Quarterback Chad Kelly took the losses especially hard, saying the Alabama loss was on him after the Tide’s defense returned his two fumbles for two touchdowns.

“As a quarterback you can’t do that,” Kelly said. “It stinks that I’m sitting here and saying that it’s my mistake again but I’ve got to correct it. It’s on me. If we don’t turn that ball over I think that we probably sit here and win the game.”

Gross said he felt that Kelly was too hard on himself after the game. In addition to the fumbles, Kelly finished 26 of 41 passes for 421 yards and three touchdowns.

Defensive tackle Issac Gross throw up the Landshark after making a tackle against Florida State.

“I tell Chad all the time, ‘Chad you did your part,’” Gross said. “To me, I certainly feel like that’s the best quarterback in the nation. That’s my quarterback, that’s my brother, and I stand behind him no matter what. It takes so much for someone to take the blame for that.”

The fifth-year defensive tackle said he felt some improvements from other position groups could help ease Kelly’s burden on offense.

“I just told him just go out there and focus man, and I tell the offensive line, ‘Look man y’all gonna have to protect

him better,’ and then when he throws the ball to certain wide receivers they’re gonna have to make big plays, they’re going to have to lay out for it sometimes. I certainly feel Chad does give it his all every game, he brings the attitude every game.”

If the Rebels are going to continue to compete this year, other players will need to step up and be a presence in the locker room. Gross thinks a new leader could be found among the offensive lineman.

“Rod Taylor could be a great leader in my eyes,” Gross said.

“I tell him all the time ‘Rod I

know you’re young, but you can really step up and lead this team in a way. You can lead that offense.”

For now, the Rebels focus has to shift to their matchup with the 12th ranked Georgia Bulldogs, whose rushing attack has averaged an impressive 185 yards per game and who currently sit at 3-0.

“Georgia, they’re going to pound the football,” Gross said. “They’re going to a tough run team to stop, they throw the ball too, I see more of a play-action team. They’re going to pound the ball.”
