Chances are students don’t know his name. Chances are they’ve never spoken to him, but one thing is almost certain: they’ve heard Dereck McOmber singing around campus as loud and as well as he can. See Page 3

The University is hosting an open discussion on Confederate iconography at 7 p.m., today in the Barnard Observatory’s Tupelo Room. University of Mississippi NAACP and the Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement are co-sponsoring the event in an attempt to facilitate conversation on Confederate symbols throughout history and in the context of today’s society. “We believe that this forum has the ability to generate a very crucial conversation that is missing from our student body,” said Tsyianna Marino, vice president of UM NAACP. “Because the school has adopted a new goal of inclusion, it is essential for us as a student body to discuss important issues and try to come to an inclusive agreement.”

Greek ‘pref’ round increases dress production in Oxford ABBIE MCINTOSH

mamcint1@go.olemiss.edu

Preference Night, or better known as “Pref Night,” is the night that potential new members involved in rush ultimately decide which sorority they would like to become a member of. For active members of the 11 sororities on campus, this is the night that they get to show the potential new members what their sisterhood is all about. “There’s no screaming or dancing like the other rounds,” junior Jacquee Schlick said. “[Preference round] is where [the active members] show the heart and soul of the sorority, share the creed, and let potential new members see what being in a sorority really boils down to:

sisterhood.” While some rounds of recruitment allow for a more casual dress code, preference night calls for something other than running shorts and a big t-shirt. “Preference night requires more formal wear because it is a very serious round,” Schlick said. On preference night, active members match in the same formal dress, which requires sororities to order a mass quantity of the same dress. Thomas Brothers Formal Wear in Oxford sends all their preference dress orders to their sister store, Kay’s Kreactions, in Tupelo. “We work on anywhere from 400 to 500 dresses each year,” owner of Kay’s Kreations, Margret Long, said. In order to measure all the girls, tailor each dress and

make any other needed alterations, the seamstresses at Kay’s start working on the dresses in the spring. “We start working on the dresses in April,” Long said. “We go to the houses that have chosen us to work with and take measurements for everybody. Then, we send those measurements to the dress manufacture and we receive the dresses back in our store around the end of July.” But the work does not end in July. “Once we get the dresses back in, we go back to the houses and pin anything that needs to be fixed,” Long said. “We’re usually done with everything by the end of August.” Long could not say how much money these orders bring in because different factors affect the final total, such

as how many dresses are ordered and how expensive the dresses are, but working on so many dresses at one time is not a challenge for Kay’s. “Working on these dresses gives us a break in between our normal seasons,” Long said. “We have been doing this for about eight years and have a good system to make sure everything runs smoothly.” Even though Kay’s receives a lot of business because of preference orders, those orders do not interfere with other customers. “Every customer is a priority at Kay’s,” Long said. “We’ve been working on preference orders for so long that those orders to not interfere with other appointments.” PHOTO BY: TAYLOR COOK

Comfy on campus: in defense of leggings HOLLY BAER

hvbaer@go.olemiss.edu

Each fall semester brings new blood and excitement, but throughout campus you can hear whispers. A freshman trash-talking “the uniform,” a grad school student rolling their eyes and denigrating leggings. I was one of them, too, three years ago. I was a too-cool, alternative, anti-mainstream wannabe who thought dyeing the ends of my hair made me punk rock (spoilers, it doesn’t, even though it looks amazing). When I saw a girl in a big shirt and Nike shorts, I gloated in my superiority. But leggings? Leggings were a goldmine of condescension. My Facebook shouted: “ATTENTION LADIES: Leggings are not

pants!” Leggings are not only pants; they are, literally, the best pants. The leggings most girls wear around campus are from waist to mid-calf or ankle and opaque. If they don’t qualify as pants, what are skinny jeans? Are they saved by virtue of denim? What about the bastardization of jeggings; are they also immune from the hatred leggings receive? This hatred of leggings seemingly comes from nowhere other than a hated of a comfortable style that isn’t professional or dressy. Should we also ban shorts? Should we ban tank tops? Should college campuses shift from an area of comfortable learning to a place of strict dress codes? Is it high school revisited?

Leggings are the epitome of comfort. If I had the wardrobe for it, this alternative, edgy ne’er-do-well would wear leggings every single day. Frankly, hatred of leggings is a way for groups to be condescending and rude in a socially acceptable way. In November 2013, Cory Ferraez wrote an article regarding women’s fashion on campus, and he repeatedly insulted the intelligence of women who dare to dress comfortably on a campus they pay thousands of dollars to attend. Why is dressing comfortably akin to being ignorant? Why is dressing comfortably seen as lazy, and, even if it is lazy, why does that matter? Others criticize leggings by saying they don’t look good. I offer a well-articulated, “So?” I’m a big girl, and I like how

I look in leggings. If a stranger feels the way I look in my clothes isn’t pleasant, they have the right as an American of looking literally anywhere else. If wearing leggings is wrong, fine. I’ll be wrong—we’ll be wrong—but we will look like goddesses doing it. And for men who aim to join the trend that just won’t die, I welcome and salute you. Any man brave enough to join the legion of comfort will be honored and welcomed. If you’re quick to criticize, take a moment to examine your opinions and your philosophical stance opposing leggings.

news SINGSATION

continued from page 1 His name is Derek McOmber, originally from Port Orchard, Washington, but around campus he is better-known as “The Singing Guy.” Aside from being the man around campus known for serenades, McOmber is a 30-year-old senior management information systems major who also holds a bachelor’s degree in digital entertainment and game design from ITT Technical Institute. McOmber has scars on both of his eardrums from recurring ear infections when he was a small child. The infection were lead to him nearly losing his hearing. McOmber said when he was younger, he had to learn to mimic voices in order to sound anything like what he wanted to. He can’t hear between certain frequencies now. “Whenever I used to sing as a kid, my mom would say ‘You don’t sound anything like it. You need to stop singing; it’s terrible,’” McOmber said. “So I started mimicking voices.” Starting from his first impressions of Muppets and Disney characters, McOmber developed his own singing voice. Today, he listens to his headphones consistently on walks, singing along for all to hear. He is normally heard before he’s seen, whether on his way to class or back toward his home off of Jackson Avenue. McOmber transferred to Ole Miss last fall from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. After many days of riding the bus to get to campus with his headphones in, a desire to exercise and a new rule from the buses eventually pushed

McOmber into local fame around the Ole Miss campus. He began singing on his bus rides to and from campus after performing in Rebels Got Talent last fall semester, but by the end of the semester a new rule was enforced on the buses: no music without headphones. “They basically said I couldn’t sing on the bus anymore because it was distracting to the bus driver,” McOmber said. “I said there were no rules against that, and then

out songs that, one, wouldn’t get me in trouble singing on campus, and two, that everyone would know,” McOmber said. “These are mainstream songs that I’ll be singing. I try to switch it up. I have a playlist.” McOmber’s singing playlist, which includes around 120 songs now, features a variety of tunes, from “Gettin Jiggy With It” by Will Smith to “God Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts and “Hakuna Matata”

It’s not about whether or not I have a great sound. It’s about whether or not I can make people happy with what I can do.

noticed. The idea is to try to bring people to understand that they can be themselves and not care about the judgement.” One of McOmber’s friends from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Logan Wade, said he wasn’t surprised when McOmber became known as “The Singing Guy.” “Derek and I had a few classes together at (MGCCC), and he stood out as one of those unique individuals because he was always positive,” Wade, a senior marketing and corporate relations major at Ole Miss, said. “He always had something to say that was funny or witty.” “It’s funny because I had heard everybody talking about a singing guy around cam-

pus,” Wade said. “One day I happened to be walking to my next class and I was like, ‘wait, is that Derek? Okay, he’s the singing guy. That makes sense.’” When faced with the question of whether or not he thought he was a good singer, McOmber said that wasn’t ever really the point to why he sings. “I feel like I’m a decent singer,” McOmber said. “It’s not about whether or not I have a great sound. It’s about whether or not I make people happy with what I can do. I can be the best singer in the world, but if I can’t make people enjoy the sound that I make, it’s not going to make a difference whether or not I feel I’m better than someone else. I just do what I can and hope for the best.”

— DEREK MCOMBER came the ‘no music without headphones’ rule. They considered my singing music without headphones.” McOmber continued to ride the bus without singing until near the end of last spring when he wanted to get more exercise without going to the gym, “because it’s the gym.” He decided to walk around campus instead of taking the bus. With experience teaching voice acting and hosting karaoke at the Palace Casino Resort in Biloxi, McOmber decided to jazz up his daily strolls. “You know what, I’m just going to start singing,” McOmber said. “I wanted to increase my lung capacity, and also I just enjoy singing.” McOmber said he had to consider his audience when selecting songs for his walks. “I mainly just started picking

from “The Lion King.” “I sing a bunch of different songs because it helps me learn, actually,” McOmber said. “I go to conventions as a guest to teach voice acting. (Singing around campus) helps me learn more about my voice.” McOmber said he realizes his singing around campus might make him look different to most students. He said he doesn’t have many close friends at Ole Miss, but thinks that’s mostly due to him being much older than the average student. “When people are afraid to come talk to you or even say ‘Hi,’ it makes it a little harder to become friends with people,” McOmber said. “Some people might think I’m weird. Well, I’m doing something that no one typically does at all because people are afraid to be

Life on Mars? NASA says planet appears to have water CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Mars appears to have flowing rivulets of water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday in a finding that boosts the odds of life on the red planet. “Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past,” said Jim Green, director of planetary science for NASA. Scientists in 2008 confirmed the existence of frozen water on Mars. Now instruments aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have yielded what researchers said is the strongest evidence yet that water in liquid form trickles down certain Martian slopes. And because liquid water is essential to life, the finding could have major implications for the possibility of microscopic life forms on Earth’s next-door neighbor. “It suggests that it would be possible for there to be

life today on Mars,” NASA’s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a Washington news conference. The rivulets — if that’s what they are, since the evidence for their existence is indirect — are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. They apparently consist of wet soil, not standing water. The water is believed to contain certain salts — not ordinary table salt, but magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate and sodium perchlorate. Like road salt used to melt ice and snow on Earth, such compounds can prevent water from freezing at extremely low temperatures. That would explain how water could exist in liquid form on Mars, which has an average temperature of minus 81 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to supporting life, the presence of liquid water could make things eas-

ier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA’s goal is to send humans there in the 2030s. Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there’s life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth, something a U.S. lander set for liftoff in 2020 will do. “Water is one of the most precious resources necessary for a human mission to the red planet,” Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House science, space and technology committee, said in a statement. “The more evidence we find of it, the more encouraged I am for future Mars missions.” Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tucson, a scientist on the project, said he, for one, believes the possibility of life on Mars to be “very high.” The source of the briny water is a mystery. Scientists said it could be melting ice, an underground aquifer, water

vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere, or some combination. The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year. The streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as 10 below zero. They were spotted by the Mars orbiter’s high-resolution, telescopic camera, and another on-board instrument detected the chemical signature of salt compounds combined with water. McEwen said that there appears to be a “significant volume” of water, speculating it could fill many Olympic swimming pools, but that it is spread thin. Present-day Mars is nothing like ancient Mars. Three billion years ago, our most Earthlike neighbor had a huge ocean, but something radical happened, and exactly what remains a mystery. The notion of water and life on Mars has been irresistible to earthlings for generations. In 1877, Italian astronomer

Giovanni Schiaparelli spied what he called “canali” on Mars — Italian for “channels” — but the word was mistranslated as “canals” in English, causing imaginations to run wild. In the early 1900s, amateur astronomer Percival Lowell claimed to have spotted irrigation canals and theorized they were built by Martians. In 2008, NASA’s Phoenix spacecraft landed on Mars and confirmed the long-suspected presence of ice in the soil. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been circling the planet since 2006. The latest findings were published in the journal Nature Geoscience. The lead author, Lujendra Ojha, a doctoral candidate at Georgia Institute of Technology, first noticed the streaks on Mars in 2010. Ojha and colleagues speculated at the time that they were seeing flowing water. For NASA, at least, the timing couldn’t be better. This Friday, the NASA-approved movie “The Martian” has its premiere.

Ford Center hosts rising stars of Metropolitan Opera TORI WILSON

thedmcopy@gmail.com

The voices of four young singers who filled the Ford Center’s stage Monday. Each of the featured artists is accomplished in his or her own right, but the Metropolitan Opera in New York City has brought them together for a concert series touring the country—and afforded patrons the opportunity to hear history in the making. Cecilia Hall, Amanda Woodbury, David Won and Kevin Short are all relative newcomers to the operatic scene, though they’ve proven their worth on stages across the world. Hall and Won are alumni of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, while Woodbury and Short won the Met’s National Council Auditions in 2014 and 1989, respectively. Tonight the full force of that talent and training was apparent in the artistry with which each performer commanded the stage. The concert featured 20 pieces in a wide range of styles, artistic periods and languages. Brent Funderburk, who accompanied the artists on piano, also narrated the program. Funderburk’s involvement was refreshing in a setting where, all too often, the pianist is in the background; he served as cohesion for the program and offered up simple but complete contexts for many of the pieces sung. Though the program was masterfully wrought from beginning to end, there were a few stand-out performances. Baritone David Won stunned with his rendition of “Wie Todesahnung… o du, mein holder Abenstern” from Wagner’s “Tannhäuser,” an ode to the evening star. German is often misunderstood as a harsh language, unsuitable to opera. Won’s performance proved without a doubt that a well-executed German aria can be more beautiful than the most ethereal of Italian singing. The South Korea-born baritone sings with technical brilliance, his timbre darker and fuller than one might expect.

Soprano Amanda Woodbury offered up Donizetti’s “Regnava del silenzio… quando rapito in estasi” with poise and grace. The effortless feel of her notes belied the difficulty of the aria from “Lucia di Lammermoor,” the opera known for its challenging titular soprano role with soaring high notes and the infamously demanding “mad scene.” Woodbury’s performance might well outshine the greatest opera divas of our time. A rousing Mephistopheles from Gounod’s “Faust” entranced the audience as bass-baritone Kevin Short sang “Le veau d’or,” a piece celebrating the greed of men, which keeps the charismatic spirit of hell in business. The bass-baritone’s voice was well suited to the role: Short achieved a mischievous nature without sacrificing the weight and depth of his voice. Mezzo-soprano Cecelia Hall charmed with her girlish but conniving Rosina in two numbers from Rossini’s “Il barbiere di Siviglia.” Her duet with Won, a spirited conversation between her Rosina and his Figaro, was one of the best duets of the evening. The two artists sparked off one another in the energetic piece, Won showing his prowess as Hall showcased the versatility and flexibility of her instrument.

“Ma bravi! Ma benone!... dunque io son” was one of the triumphs of the concert. The overall crowd favorites, though, were the last four numbers of the program—selections from American Broadway musicals. Hall took possession of a lesser-known Gershwin song entitled “The Lorelei” with panache, embracing the oddities of the libretto with a grin and jazzy style. Short offered a song from the classic “Camelot” to resounding applause, and Woodbury sang an endearing “I could have danced all night” from “My Fair Lady.” However, the performance that garnered wistful smiles and overwhelming applause from the audience was David Won’s “Some enchanted evening” from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific.” The simple but evocative song became a work of art in Won’s capable hands, each note hanging in the air like a gust of wind. The four singers rounded out the evening with a quartet performance of the last few measures of “I could have danced all night,” bowing to the standing ovation of the crowd. The concert series visits Georgia next, with a performance on Oct. 1 at the Thomasville Center for the Arts.

Ole Miss 3, Alabama 2 The Rebels overcame a 2-0 halftime deficit to defeat Alabama 3-2 Friday night at the Ole Miss Soccer Complex. As a result, the Rebels picked up their first SEC victory of the season. “We knew at halftime that we had the character to come back,” head coach Matthew Mott said. “I thought we dominated the second half and scored three very good goals.” Alabama struck twice in the first half, and senior defender and captain Samantha Sanders left the game with a knee injury, but the Rebels came out in Melissa Capocaccia goes for a header in the shut out win over LSU Sunday night. the second half with renewed energy, scoring just 17 seconds goal 11 minutes later to tie the Rebels to earn a 2-0 victory into the period. game at 2. over the LSU Tigers Sunday Junior striker Addie Forbus “It was a corner kick from night.

Freeze anticipates tough matchup against ranked Florida CODY THOMASON

csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu

Saturday night will feature a matchup of unbeaten teams when third-ranked Ole Miss takes on 25th-ranked Florida in Gainesville. After a lackluster performance against Vanderbilt, the Rebels will be looking to bounce back and have a big day in the Swamp, where, in 2008, the Rebels were Tim Tebow’s and the Gators’ only loss in a National Champion-

ship-winning season for the University of Florida. “I’m really excited for the opportunity to go to Florida and play a really quality football team. These games, just like I said the other week, test you and your team,” Freeze said. “The environment tests you. When you have a quality opponent that is very well coached and very confident right now, a team that is ranked in the Top-25 right now, it is going to test you.” Freeze gave an update on

the team’s injuries, where the offensive line has been hurting depth-wise after some injuries and the still-uncertain status of junior offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil in his ongoing NCAA investigation. “As far as offensive linemen, we’d love to have Justin Bell, Rod Taylor and Laremy Tunsil back as soon as possible. We are missing those three guys. They are some of our more experienced, athletic guys,” Freeze said. “Bell is going to try and go this week

for sure. Taylor looked better yesterday. It just takes time for him to get his shoulder strong enough for him to play with confidence. He is getting stronger each day and could probably help us with 20 or so snaps for this week.” Freeze did have an update on Tunsil’s situation, although there is still no timetable for his return. “I know that I have been told that progress has been made in Tunsil’s situation last week,” Freeze said. “We are all pushing to get him back on the field as soon as possible.” The Ole Miss offense faced two very good defenses in a row against Alabama and Vanderbilt, and they won’t get a break on Saturday when they face Florida. Freeze said the defense, led by junior cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, is one of the best in the entire nation. “They are only giving up 17 or 18 points per game. They have tremendous get-off on the defensive line. Jonathan Bullard has eight tackles for

loss and multiple sacks,” Freeze said. “I think playing in front of their crowd, on their field, when you have to communicate there, it is very advantageous for their defensive line.” “Their linebackers are extremely athletic and everyone knows about their back end,” Freeze said. “They are definitely one of the best defenses in the country and they are going to test us for sure.” There was a lot to learn and build upon after the close call at home against Vanderbilt last Saturday. Freeze gave his final impression on the Vanderbilt game and what to learn from it. “After watching last week’s film, credit to Derrick Mason and his improving squad. They are really doing a nice job. He is going to do well,” Freeze said. “We have some things we need to improve on. Hopefully, we can get kids healthy so we can get them excited for a trip to Gainesville.”
