Gameday parking and transportation on and off campus ABBIE MCINTOSH

Mamcint1@go.olemiss.edu

On any given Thursday before a home football game, students can see University employees placing signs that say “No parking after 6 p.m. Friday” at various locations around campus.

This year, the University has been cracking down on where students, alumni and fans can park during home football games, and that includes no parking on campus without a special permit. For sophomore integrated marketing communications major Nick Busharr, not being able to park on campus is an inconvenience.

“Unless you pay a very large sum of money for a parking pass, you are forced to park off campus and either walk or take the bus,” Busharr said. “It’s frustrating.”

According to olemisssports. com, passes to park on campus are completely sold out for the 2015 season and were being sold for $100. There were only 600 spots available and a majority of spots went to the Ole Miss Athletic Foundation members who had enough points to purchase the passes. One of the locations permit holders can park is the new parking garage located next to Vaught-Hemingway.

While fans, alumni and students living off-campus cannot park on campus without a permit, there are other options around Oxford that will not break the wallet.

“There are three parking lots that are designated for visitors during game days,” Director of Parking for the City of Oxford, Matt Davis, said. “The locations are Oxford High School, FNC Park and Northwest Mississippi Community College.”

The city provides free security for the lots and a shuttle service that drops off fans on Gertrude Ford Boulevard near the northeast corner of the football Stadium. In order to ride the shuttle, each rider must pay $5, but Davis said the $5 is a round trip fee to and from the designated parking locations.

There is also an option to ride the famous Double Decker bus from the Square to the Grove, but the bus only runs before games and stops its service after kickoff.

With the Rebels playing their first home game against an SEC opponent, there is concern that there will be even more traffic than during previous games, and Davis said that the Oxford Police Department, in conjunction with MDOT, has put in place extra efforts to help with the expected larger crowd this weekend.

For Busharr, the extra efforts are a help, but he is not concerned with the bigger crowds.

“Even if there is more traffic, it’s all a part of the experience,” Busharr said. “Yes, it may be frustrating, but I would rather have Parking signs decorate campus before gameday. crazy traffic, waits at restaurants, and crowded places than no fans at all.”

William Faulkner’s original manuscript materials, B.B. King’s personal listening collection and papers from notable Mississippi authors are just a few items among the Archives and Special Collections at J.D. Williams Library that have been recently threatened by the discovery of mold.

Since August 18, 2015, the exhibit has been closed.

Jennifer Ford, head of Archives and Special Collections and associate professor, said the exhibit is temporarily closed to allow the remediation process to take place.

“There is a detailed action plan in place for the cleaning and parts of that process have already begun, “ Ford said.

The department of facilities and management assisted the library to find long-term methods to fix the Library’s HVAC system to prevent similar complications in the future, Ford said.

“The library is extremely appreciative of this support for a long term solution,” Ford said.

Following the cleaning process, J.D. Williams plans to reopen the exhibit.

“We do not yet have a definite re-opening date but it will likely be several weeks before this occurs,” Ford said.

The Archives and Special Col-

lections at J.D. Williams Library encompasses a wide variety of rare and exclusive materials such as photographs, films, sound recordings and papers related to the Magnolia State, the University or the American South.

Ford believes that these sort of archives are important for Universities to have.

“Special Collections continues to play an important role for all our patrons, especially for UM students and faculty,” Ford said.

“I believe our research services are essential for a large section of those groups, especially those interested in the humanities.”

COLUMN

On trust and the Democratic primaries REID HAYNIE

rchaynie@go.olemiss.edu

A knowledgeable professor told my Pol 251 class with an arrogant certainty that Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States.

His matter-of-factness nauseated my rightwing classmates, and it surely has droned in their ears for the past 12 months.

Now the sprint towards November 2016 is underway. Following her 2008 shortfall, Clinton is well prepared, and with calculated strides and remarkably well-funded speed, she is moving towards the Democratic nomination.

One ominous question is yet to be answered: can Hillary Clinton convince the working class that she is their desperately-needed warrior? Her hint of elitism and the lingering untrustworthiness of her name make it a difficult sell, and it seems that an increasing number of voters cannot buy it.

Enter Bernie Sanders. Of THE DAILY

humble upbringing and a modest income, he is as an advocate for labor organization and accessible healthcare and education, making him a strong case for representing the 99 percent.

At first, Bernie’s presence did not worry the Clinton campaign.

But in September 2015, Hillary no longer feels the cushion of a big lead, franticly glancing back at the approaching challenger.

Fueled by small donations by over 200,000 contributors, Sanders is gaining momentum and is showing no signs of slowing down. With victorious grabs of Iowa and New Hampshire, he challenges the role of cash in politics. This is the big story of the Bernie campaign: “Paid for

by Bernie 2016 (not the billionaires).”

The campaign operates in a way diametrically opposed to Citizens United. When Bernie Sanders says he will fight the controversial court ruling, I believe him. Can we trust Hillary Clinton to as well?

Of course, she’s taken a stance

against Citizens United, but according to a New York Times report, Super PACs have given her campaign $20 million, about a third of her total funds, while Sanders’ campaign is worth a total $15 million, not a dime of which came from beyond personal fundraising. In fact, he is open about his refusal to accept such contributions.

Can we trust Hillary Clinton to reign in the 1 percent and to bring accountability to American capitalism?

Americans love accountability. You can’t vote without an ID; you can’t get welfare without a drug test. Elect Bernie Sanders and you can’t make billions of dollars without adequately paying your employees, without giving those employees reasonable maternity leave and without paying your fair share of taxes.

Sure, Clinton makes evident her stance on these issues; her rhetoric contains strong words regarding economic progressivism- a stable economy requires

a “toppling” of the wealthiest 1 percent. It has an aggressive undertone similar to that of the Sanders campaign. It just comes down to whether or not voters believe she will follow through.

In July, a Quinnipiac University Poll that focused on Colorado, Iowa and Virginia voters gave a look into Clinton’s standing with the electorate: 62 percent of Colorado voters say she cannot be trusted, 59 percent in Iowa, and 55 percent in Virginia.

Compare the numbers to Sanders’ results. Only 24 percent of Colorado voters view the candidate as untrustworthy, 20 percent of Iowans, and a mere 17 percent of Virginians.

Sanders is known for being consistent in his views. Watch him address Congress in 1992.

It could easily be a campaign speech in 2015— wealth inequality, tax the rich, etc. Hillary, on the other hand, is a notorious flip flopper.

continued from page 2 just a bond, but a sacred bond between a man and a woman”Clinton, 2004.

Compare that to present day: Clinton is running as a fighter for the LGBT community. She is a flimsy sail, easily pushed by the winds of public opinion.

The Benghazi uproar certainly doesn’t help, regardless if it was a reactionary media frenzy. And whether or not Hillary was just using a personal email account for the sake of “convenience,” the electorate’s trust in her is compromised.

This untrustworthiness in politics is common and is manifested in a nation-wide disillusionment with partisan politics.

According to a recent Pew study titled “A Deep Dive into Party Affiliation” from April of this year, 39 percent of Americans identify as independent, while only 32 percent identify as Democrat and 23 percent as Republican.

According to the data, independent politics has been popular for quite a while, and it has steadily risen since 2008. The recent trend of declining interest in both the Democratic and Republican parties correlates with the past two presidential terms. This era has pushed both parties into increasingly aggressive rhetoric and finger pointing in what appears to be the culmination of partisan conflict.

Whether or not Bernie can carry this plurality of voters is debatable.

Presumably, the average independent is more moderate than Sanders. It will, however, play in his favor that he identifies as an independent himself. More importantly, he is perceived as a unique class of politician—a genuine one, which is what independents crave most.

While it is consensus regarding Clinton that her every word is filtered through layers of planning and tailoring, Bernie seems to possess a sincerity that is above political.

Voters are tired of Washington elites. It is evident in the

GOP primaries as well, considering that both the frontrunners (Trump and Carson) are by no means politicians. Americans are shifting away from traditional politics. They want a change; Democrats are increasingly finding it in Bernie Sanders, and Republicans are finding it in a neurosurgeon and a tabloid reality TV star.

In 2016, the Democratic Party doesn’t need another crafty political player; it needs a warrior for the working class. It’s too easy to neglect a demographic defined by a lack of monetary and political power. To fight for them takes a sense of propriety that Americans increasingly do not see in Hillary Clinton.

If Americans do not trust their leader, then there is no leadership. In a time of astronomic and growing wealth inequality and constant civil rights conflict, the Democratic Party needs a fresh face. Hillary Clinton represents the past eight years of partisan struggle, and Bernie Sanders is a refreshing take on politics in contemporary America.

GAMBLING MAN

HOTLANTA STRIKES AGAIN

Mississippi is selling its first bonds backed by gambling taxes. According to the Sun Herald, the state has joined other states across the U.S. that have seen their gambling money diminish while other states have expanded the industry to recover from the recession. This past year, revenue in casinos has dropped in 10 of the 12 biggest gambling states, including the ‘Sip. While Mississippi’s revenue has dropped, it still ranks sixth nationwide in the industry.

On Wednesday, a state trooper made a record-breaking drug bust on I-20. When the trooper pulled over a 2014 Dodge Ram pickup truck, he found a surprising present of eight pounds of black tar heroin. The heroin was hidden inside a hydraulic jack in the truck. According to the Clarion Ledger, the heroin has a street value of about $350,000. Several state authorities are even saying that this is the largest amount of black tar heroin that has been seized in one search for the state. The possessor was Atlanta native Mario Abarca Diaz.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CLIMBING GONE WRONG

MOM, WHERE ARE MY M&MS?

Harold Henthorn was found guilty on Monday of first-degree murder in the killing of his second wife, Toni Henthorn. Toni was a successful doctor from Jackson. According to Fox News, the couple was hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary when Henthorn pushed his wife off of a 130-foot cliff. Henthorn claimed that his wife fell off the edge of the cliff, but the prosecutors argued otherwise. The prosecution claimed that Henthorn staged the accident to benefit from her $4.7 million in life insurance policies. Henthorn was ultimately convicted because of inconsistencies between his accounts of the accident. Henthorn faces a mandatory life sentence.

Not at school, that’s for sure. This week, it was announced that Mississippi no longer holds the top spot in obesity. The state has handed the crown over to Arkansas. According to the Clarion Ledger, Arkansas is at first place with a 35.9 percent rate of obesity and is followed by West Virginia with 35.7 percent and Mississippi at 35.5 percent. Many people believe that the change in Mississippi’s position can be credited to the Heatlhy Schools Act of 2007, which required schools to serve healthy lunches and eliminate the sales of sugary snacks on school grounds. It also requires 150 minutes of exercise per week for students.

Mississippi ranks 50th in the nation for physical activity, so we still have a long way to go.

continued from page 1 Ford has seen a boost in several areas of particular interest in the collection.

“Increased archival instruction for students, development of the department’s digital program, an increase in donations of collections geared to the research interests of students and faculty, even more exhibitions and department programming connected with University events such as those for the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the integration of UM—just to name a few areas of particular growth,” Ford said.

Among some of the more unique aspects of the Special Collections is its scope—the department mainly focuses on collecting materials relating to local and regional histories.

“I would say that our Special Collections provide students and researchers unique opportunities to use rare, valuable documents in their research,” said Melissa Dennis, outreach and instruction librarian and associate professor.

Although it is difficult to narrow down the most popular artifacts—considering there are 65,000 titles and over 900 manuscript collections—Ford said that there are various research avenues to choose from.

“This year’s exhibit, like so many in the past, is a great example of how archives showcase many original items to create interest in one particular subject area,” Dennis said.

The University plans to host William Shakespeare’s first folio next year. Dennis said it will not be making its home in the Special Collections, however, but will be a traveling exhibit displayed at the Ford Center.

“The University certainly looks forward to bringing in diverse collections,” Bryan Young, an engineering librarian said.

NEWS | 25 SEPTEMBER 2015 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 5

Although the event is still in early planning stages, the exhibit will be open from April 11, 2016 until the first of May. The artifact’s visit will commemorate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death in April 23, 1616.

“We are going to involve as many people as possible,” said Alex Watson, reference librarian and associate professor. “We are trying to involve other groups from across the state.”

Watson co-wrote the grant to the American Library Association to bring the folio to the University.

“The folio is the first book publication of his work. There were some bootlegs before, but this was the first time it was put into a book,” Watson said.

The folio was done by Shakespeare’s followers, actors, collaborators and fellow playwrights. It remains the first and only source for many of his plays.

Pope Francis plunged into the melting pot of New York on Thursday after reminding the country of its immigrant origins in the first papal speech before Congress. At an evening prayer service in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Francis thanked American nuns for their strength and courage in a deeply meaningful acknowledgement of their service following a years-long Vatican crackdown.

Over 40 hours in New York, Francis will address world leaders at the United Nations, participate in an interfaith service at the Sept. 11 memorial and celebrate Mass at Madison Square Garden. He will visit a school in Harlem and take drive through Central Park — a whirlwind tour of the Big Apple that got off to a quintessential welcome with a high school brass band serenading him with “New York, New York,” on the airport tarmac.

POPE

continued from page 5 The popular pontiff received raucous cheers upon his arrival in Manhattan. Thousands of people lined the streets leading to St. Patrick’s to greet him, cheering, waving flags and adoringly chanting his name as he gestured toward them from his popemobile. On the steps of the recently spruced up cathedral, dignitaries including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer welcomed him for an evening vespers service.

Once inside, the pews full of U.S. priests and sisters erupted in applause when Francis told American nuns that he wanted to thank them for their strength, spirit and courage and to “tell you that I love you very much.”

It was the strongest expression yet of his gratitude for American nuns after the Vatican under his predecessor ordered an overhaul of the largest umbrella group of U.S. sisters, accusing them of straying from church teaching. The nuns denied the charge and received

an outpouring of support from American Catholics, and the crackdown ended this year, two years early, with no major changes.

In Washington earlier Thursday, the pope waded into bitter disputes while speaking to Congress, entreating the nation to share its immense wealth with those less fortunate. He urged Congress and the nation to abolish the death penalty, fight global warming and embrace immigrants. Lawmakers gave rousing ovations to the leader of the world’s Catholics despite obvious disagreements over some of his pleas.

After he addressed Congress, the first pontiff to do so, he underscored his message by traveling to a downtown Washington church, where he mingled with needy and homeless people, blessed their noontime meal and walked among them while they ate.

Francis wraps up his visit this weekend in Philadelphia, where he speaks in front of Independence Hall and celebrates Mass on the Benjamin Franklin Park-

way to close out a big Catholic family rally.

At the Capitol, the remarkable sight of the pope speaking in the House chamber seemed to delight lawmakers of all persuasions, though he offered an agenda more to Democrats’ liking. Besides his focus on climate change and immigration, he denounced arms sales and seemed to allude approvingly to the Iran nuclear deal and recent actions

by President Barack Obama’s administration to open relations with Cuba, done with his urging.

Republicans, too, heard something to like in his references to the sanctity of life and family relations, reminders that even the more open Catholic Church over which Francis presides still condemns abortion and gay marriage.

For all the spectacle, it seemed unlikely the pope’s visit would break congressional inertia on the issues dear to him, with no action in sight from the Republican majority on global warming or immigration.

But Francis, in his historic speech, seemed determined to remind the United States of its foundations as a country made up of foreigners, addressing the chamber and the American people beyond in personal terms

114 Courthouse Square

as a son of immigrants to “this great continent.”

“We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our neighbors and everything around us,” he said. “We must not be taken aback by their numbers but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation.”

After the address, Francis appeared high on a Capitol balcony and addressed a cheering crowd of thousands below on the lawn and the Mall beyond who had watched his speech on giant TV screens.

“Buenos dias,” he called out in the language of his native Argentina and millions of U.S. immigrants, legal and not.

“God bless America!” he concluded, as he had in the House chamber.

After leaving the Capitol, the pope brought encouragement to a much smaller group: a gathering of homeless and needy people at St. Patrick’s Church and Catholic Charities in Washington. He decried a lack of housing for the poor and declared there is “no justification whatsoever” for homelessness.

The pope’s jam-packed tour

began last weekend in Cuba and included a White House ceremony and Washington parade in his popemobile on Wednesday. On Friday, at the United Nations, the pope is sure to make many of the points emphasized in Washington — a need for openness to immigrants and for the world to share its riches with the needy.

At the Capitol in Washington, the packed House chamber included Supreme Court justices, Cabinet officials and lawmakers of both major political parties, some of whom bowed their heads in deference as Francis walked down the center aisle to approach the dais where presidents deliver their State of the Union speeches.

“Mr. Speaker, the pope of the Holy See,” bellowed the sergeant at arms.

Behind the pope sat Democratic Vice President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker John Boehner, the first and second in line to the presidency, both Catholics.

Francis, in deliberate and accented English, noted that many lawmakers descended from immigrants and the U.S. was founded by foreigners “who came to this land to pursue their dream of building a future in freedom.”

A Double Decker ride down memory lane TAYLOR COOK

tecook1@go.olemiss.edu

For $10 and an hour of time, tourists and life-long residents alike can take a ride down memory lane and explore Oxford’s history. Hop aboard the Double Decker bus 2 p.m. this Friday and get ready to see, as Faulkner called it, our “little postage stamp of native soil.”

For the past six years, Jack Mayfield has been the official tour guide for the Double Decker bus tour. He is a fifth generation Oxonian who attended Ole Miss in 1969. He graduated with a degree in banking and finance then continued to receive his master’s in history in 1993. History has always been a passion for Mayfield.

“As a child, I enjoyed reading history and found my hometown was full of it,” Mayfield said. “So, many things have happened here and many of them are watersheds of American history.”

As the tour guide, he said he

loves educating everyone on Oxford’s rich history.

The tours are about an hour long, but can last up to two hours if people want to stop and visit sights such as Rowan Oak or the Lamar House.

They begin at 2 p.m. on football weekend Fridays. When many families come to town on football weekends, they are able to enjoy a fun Double Decker bus ride through the bustling town.

dents to take their parents on a tour and even gives opposing fans an opportunity to see the highlights of Oxford in a short amount of time.

Staying true to Southern hospitality, all fans are welcome aboard the Double Decker bus.

The tour is a great way for opposing fans to become tourists and enjoy the beautiful scenery that Oxford has to offer.

Mayfield said he loves to show people Oxford for the first time, and he encourages everyone to visit the Grove the following day. Opposing fans who have met people on the tour usually

get together to eat and drink in the Grove.

“The only ones we don’t like are the ones who wear purple and gold,” Mayfield said laughing. “I say those LSU fans are the most obnoxious people, and they smell like corn dogs.”

The bus can fit about 65 people— even more if people do not mind sharing their seat with a third person. On the one-hour tour, the bus does not make any stops, but drives slowly through Oxford as Mayfield explains the history.

He said puts extra emphasis on certain historical events that he feels really shaped Oxford, such as the riots of 1962. Trying to fix perceptions, he sets the record straight by explaining the Meredith events in detail.

“I try to show that the people who caused the riots were not Ole Miss students, but outside people who came to Oxford after General Edwin Walker made an announcement on the radio,” Mayfield said.

The tour also covers history starting with the Chickasaw Indians and ending with more recent news like the building of the Center for Manufacturing Excellence.

There is a lot of history in this town, and there is no one more equipped to tell the story than Mayfield. His dedication to Oxford and its history is unwavering and he is able to share that with all walks of life.

Before the big game on Saturday, take a ride on the big Double Decker bus to learn about the town and University. Along with many others, Mayfield will reveal some of Oxford’s secrets, and the stories will unfold right before your eyes. With something for everyone, this tour will not disappoint.

“It is the best way to get the history of Oxford in a very short time,” Mayfield said.

“You come away loving Oxford, like most students and retirees who have lived here for most of our lives.”

Four Downs: Vanderbilt

Featuring DM sports editor Dylan Rubino (@drubino11) sports writer Cody Thomason (@thecodythomason) and station manager Browning Stubbs (@BrowningStubbs)

Will there be any hangover from the Alabama win for Ole Miss Saturday night?

Vanderbilt quarterback Johnny McCrary has played lights out his last two games. How much success do you see him having against the Ole Miss secondary?

With injuries piling up, do you see that having an affect on the outcome of the game Saturday for Ole Miss?

With Tony Conner out, who do expect to step up in his absence at the Husky position?

Dylan - There always seems to be a hangover for any college football team after they pull off a big upset. The Rebels didn’t have that problem last year when they went on the road to Texas A&M after they beat Alabama. I wouldn’t call this Saturday a possible hangover game for the Rebels, but I could see the team starting off a little sluggish. Once the rust is kicked off after the first quarter, expect the Ole Miss offense to press hard on gas pedal and never let up.

Dylan- McCrary has put up an impressive 985 yards passing in three games this season, but has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. The Rebel defense has proven they love to force turnovers, so the defense could have a field day against a turnover-prone quarterback.

McCrary has great athleticism and awareness as an athlete at quarterback, but even without Conner, expect at least a pair of turnovers for the Commodore quarterback.

Dylan- Injuries could have an impact down the road for the Rebels on both sides of the ball, but I don’t see it being a problem come Saturday. The talent level of the Rebels far surpasses that of Vanderbilt, and that could be showcased throughout the first half. Depth at offensive line could allow Vanderbilt to get pressure against Chad Kelly, but I don’t think injuries will slow the Rebel defense down.

Dylan - Some names that Freeze said could receive valuable playing time Saturday include Chief Brown, Zedrick Woods and A.J. Moore. I expect the senior Brown to get the bulk of the playing time at husky Saturday. His veteran presence and ball-hawking abilities could be a game-changer against an offense that turns the ball over. I expect Moore and Woods to get their fair share of playing time as well.

Cody - Obviously, after a big upset and a drop off in the level of competition, there is a risk that the team starts off sluggish and plays down to its opponent, but with the high aspirations on this team, I expect them to use the momentum from beating Alabama to fuel a big victory on Saturday instead of a subpar performance.

Cody - McCrary is a great athlete and solid passer, but has struggled with turnovers so far this season, which happens to be where the Rebel secondary excels. The Ole Miss defense struggled at stopping Jake Coker from running last week, so McCrary could pose a big problem for the Rebels in that area. As far as passing goes, the Ole Miss secondary should continue to get timely turnovers and limit McCrary’s success through the air.

Cody- It definitely will affect the defense and the offensive line. The depth at guard could be an issue, and the husky position will automatically be a concern without Tony Conner there, simply because he’s one of the best players on the team. And it will be hard to replace him no matter what. That being said, Ole Miss should still have a quality performance against Vanderbilt and get the victory.

Cody - Zedrick Woods has already seen a good amount of time as a true freshman and should get a chance to excel in Conner’s spot. Zedrick is a good athlete but still kind of inexperienced.

Meanwhile, senior Chief Brown is also a good candidate to step up as his experience should allow him to quickly acclimate to playing primarily Husky.

Browning - I’m willing to believe Ole Miss will suffer a slight hangover. The Rebels are averaging an NCAA best 64 points per game. Can they repeat that against a Vanderbilt team that is slightly improved from last year? I don’t see it. The offensive line still has a lot to be sorted out and the linebackers must improve. Expect Ole Miss to comfortably have a multiple touchdown lead at halftime and cruise in the second half.

Browning - Johnny McCrary looks to be the answer at quarterback for Derek Mason, who suffered all last season in finding the right guy. I think McCrary will give Ole Miss a few scares, but not enough to make this a close ball game.

Browning- I don’t see the injuries being a huge issue for Ole Miss except for the offensive line. With the offensive line already playing without Laremy Tunsil, Justin Bell and Robert Conyers are both questionable to play against Vanderbilt. The offensive line will have to receive a lot of help from freshman Javon Patterson and others to protect Chad Kelly on Saturday.

Browning - The Rebels received a huge blow with the news that safety Tony Conner will miss a minimum of four weeks due to a meniscus tear in his right knee. Chief Brown, Zedrick Woods and A.J. Moore are all going to have to collectively replace Conner’s production as a unit. Ole Miss must see signs of encouragement in the secondary if Conner’s injury is worse than we expected.

Ty Laporte leads team with confidence on court NATALIE ALLEN

nrallen1@go.olemiss.edu

To be a leader means to be respected by your teammates; respect is not automatically given. It is earned.

Senior Ty Laporte has earned her position as a leader on the Ole Miss volleyball team.

Standing 6 feet tall, the Irmo, South Carolina native has always had remarkable athletic ability.

Laporte graduated from Dutch Fork High School, where she played basketball and volleyball and ran track.

She was the three-time state champion in the high jump and was an All-State selection all four years. Her senior volleyball season, she made All-Region and All-State. She was voted MVP of her team and named Player of the Year.

Ty committed to be a Rebel her senior year of high school. After a visit, she fell in love with Oxford, the beautiful Ole Miss campus and all of the coaching staff. She knew Ole Miss would be her family away from home.

“I’m really competitive, and I’m a small middle. I think the idea of people doubting me has been what’s really pushed me,” Laporte said. “A lot of people said I couldn’t make it and said I wasn’t going to go to a big D1 school. That motivated me to prove people wrong.”

One characteristic of a good leader is being vocal, and Laporte is not afraid to speak up. She is known for holding her teammates accountable and always looking to help her fellow players get better.

“My first practice, [Laporte and Clair] were right beside me and helping me improve,” Taylor Alexander sophomore English major said. “They would say ‘We see that you’re doing this, try changing it to this,’ and it helped me to be more comfortable. She showed me things that I didn’t see, and she encouraged me.”

On paper, her work ethic and courage to keep her teammates in-line without hesitation might make an outsider think Laporte is

Nakeyta Clair going up to block a kill. that serious all the time, but she’s not. Her energy is so contagious that it can be felt from the stands.

In between sets and kills, she’s hyped. She dances and jumps around and gets her teammates into the game. A true leader is a game day player, and Laporte is definitely one.

Being a great athlete also means being able to overcome adversity.

Her first season, she tore her ACL in the preseason and had to redshirt her first year, but she did not let her injury get her down. The next season, she came out swinging, literally. In her very first collegiate match, she had seven kills

and hit .636, an attacking average that tied for a season high. She had the best attacking percentage on the team for the whole season (.312) and the best in the SEC among freshmen.

The next two years, she kept the ball rolling. Consistently maintaining high attacking averages, making the SEC Academic Honor Roll and being named to the Rebel’s leadership team, it seemed liked there was nothing Ty Laporte couldn’t do. In 2014, Laporte had a record high of 23 kills in a five-setter at Missouri. She also started 28 of the 29 games in which she played. Under the new leadership of head coach Steven McRoberts, Laporte and the Rebels helped bring Ole Miss their first tournament title away from Oxford since 2007.

After a big victory and the conclusion of non-conference play at the ‘Fight Like Hal’ Memorial Tournament last weekend in Birmingham, Alabama, the Rebels have won eight straight tournament titles. Laporte was named MVP of that tournament, and

finished with 37 kills and a .544 average.

She is third all-time in block assists at Ole Miss with 235. She has recently moved into the fourth position in all-time total blocks with 278. She is currently ranked sixth in the SEC with a hitting percentage of .392.

The Rebels are currently off to their best start in school history (14-1). This week, Laporte received her first SEC Weekly Honor and was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. Last week, she led the team with averages of 3.47 kills per set, one block per set, and is hitting .506. The Rebels have now won 10 games in a row.

“I want to be able to look back and say ‘I got in the gym every day and worked my butt off. I never slacked and I pushed my teammates. I never gave up on anybody, never gave up on a play,’” Laporte said. “I want to give my everything, so no matter what the result, I can say ‘We tried and we worked hard.’ So we’ll walk away with no regrets.”

Editor-to-editor: Ole Miss faces Vanderbilt

BEN WEINRIB: THE VANDERBILT HUSTLER

By almost any measure, Vanderbilt’s football team is much improved from last season. The defense is much improved with Derek Mason’s playcalling – especially in the red zone, where they are ranked seventh in the nation – and the offense finally has a pulse. But the one area in which the team has not improved is wins and losses.

A 14-12 loss to Western Kentucky was frustrating with just nine points in five trips inside the 10 yard line, but they did hold a high-powered offense that averaged 44.4 points and 535 yards per game last year to 14 points on 247 yards.

Vanderbilt wasn’t expected to take down No. 10 Georgia at home, but they nearly closed the gap to three points before Commodore quarterback Johnny McCrary threw his third end zone interception of the season, which was returned for a touchdown.

It wasn’t until last week’s 47-7 victory over Austin Peay that Vanderbilt saw the fruits of its labor. But in a season in which bowl eligibility seems like a pipe dream, team and

player improvement is more important than wins and losses.

The Commodores don’t stand much of a chance on the road against the No. 3 team in the nation – they are 25-point underdogs – but there is still a lot to be learned from the game.

How will the young team play on the road after three games in Nashville? Can Trent Sherfield continue his success from last week? Will Vanderbilt ever force a turnover? Is

there any way to stop Robert Nkemdiche?

Prediction: Ole Miss 34 Vanderbilt 17

DYLAN RUBINO: THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN What’s not to like about the Ole Miss Rebels right now?

The Rebels went back-toback and beat Alabama consecutively for the first time in program history. The Rebels proved to themselves that they’re one of the best teams

in country last Saturday, so they should handle Vanderbilt with ease, right?

Not so fast, my friends.

All the signs point to an Ole Miss blowout, especially with the Rebels having dismantled Vanderbilt in Nashville last year 41-3, but Vanderbilt is a much improved team compared to the debacle that happened last season.

Vanderbilt kept it a competitive game in the first half against Georgia two weeks ago, but the Bulldogs flexed

their muscles in the second half and won 31-14. The defense showed signs of improvement, and the offense finally found a quarterback.

Sophomore Johnny McCrary comes into the matchup in Oxford off the best game of his career in Vanderbilt’s 47-7 blowout against Austin Peay, going 28-33 passing for 368 yards and two scores. Even with great numbers last week, McCrary has more interceptions (five) than touchdown passes (four) on the season.

That could spell doom for the sophomore against the Rebel defense.

Even with injuries on the offensive line and defensive secondary for the Rebels, the talent gap heavily favors the Rebels. The depth of Ole Miss is second-to-none this season, and it’ll show Saturday night at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. I expect big games from both Chad Kelly and Jaylen Walton.

The defense may struggle at times against McCrary early on, but it won’t be close in the second half.

Prediction: Ole Miss 66, Vanderbilt 21
