How Ole Miss Are students buying locally?

Football bolsters Oxford’s economy ISABELLE FROST

“Choose indie every month” and “Don’t let the robots get you down” reads a sign hanging on the wall of Oxford’s staple locally owned bookstore, Square Books.

In an age when even reading has become digitized, Square Books makes a case to keep it real and physical. The

store’s success dates back to its beginning 44 years ago, and it has not slowed yet.

Although Square Books offers a unique, personal shopping experience, some find that buying books from large sites such as Amazon is more convenient. Richard Howorth, Square Books’ owner, maintains that despite the ease of buying from

Each game day weekend, Ole Miss fans from near and far pour into Oxford, The Grove and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to support the Rebels. While some may complain about the long lines at bars and restaurants and the horrendous traffic, this influx of fans puts significantly more money into the pockets of local Oxford businesses.

“College football impacts Oxford in several ways. If we think about home football weekends in Oxford, a full stadium seats more than 60,000 people,” Chair of the Department of Economics Joshua Robert Hendrickson said. “Yet, the city of Oxford only has a population of around 26,000 or 27,000 people. Even including the student population that isn’t considered as part of the year-round population, this means that the number of people in Oxford more than doubles on these weekends.”

For many, the doubled population on game days makes navigating Oxford’s streets and finding parking an extreme sport. Kenny Ferris, executive di-

Rowan Oak hosted an Archaeology Day on Oct. 14. The public had the opportunity to dig into the soil to understand the lives and stories of enslaved individuals who inhabited the land before William Faulkner’s residency. The event was sponsored by the Departments of Sociology and Anthropology at UM.

As more students flock to the University of Mississippi, there simply is not enough housing to accommodate them. In addition to the housing shortage, other housing-related problems prompted the Associated Student Body to form a committee on housing and create an anonymous survey for students to voice their housing concerns.

The Student Housing Experience Survey has been emailed to students, posted in off-campus apartment buildings and linked in ASB’s Instagram bio. The 10-minute survey will remain open until Oct. 26, and students who participate are entered

ASB elects three new senators ISABELLE FROST

thedmnews@gmail.com

In its fifth formal meeting of the year, the Associated Student Body Senate commemorated a UM student who died recently, Cameron Rutland, and elected three new senators on Tuesday, Oct. 17.

Sixteen candidates competed for three open senate seats.

Each was allotted a minute and a half to give a prepared speech to the senate members,

with voting held afterwards.

Students A’davion Bush, Edward Earl Wilson III and Kien Giang were elected to ASB. Wilson expressed his gratitude upon his election.

“I’m very honored and happy to get to work for the people here. I plan to do some good and shake things up,” Wilson said. “I serve the people even though I was elected by the senate. I’m for the people here at Ole Miss.”

Giang did not expect

to be elected but was ecstatic at the results.

“I’m very surprised and overwhelmed with the results. My goal today was to try to step out of my comfort zone,” Giang said.

An Asian-American student majoring in computer science, he plans to give voice to international students and STEM majors in his time in the senate.

“I’m a minority and a STEM major going against all the people from public policy. I

want everyone to feel welcome and consider Mississippi their second home,” Giang said.

In addition to adding new senators, ASB confirmed and swore in nominees for the parking appeals board. New members include London Horiuchi, Brady Moore and Daniel Munie.

As the meeting continued, Executive Liaison Walter Jacklin gave a heartfelt speech on behalf of ASB President Sara Austin Welch in

honor of Cameron Rutland, a student who died in his roomT in Stockard Hall on Oct. 6.t “At times the issues we face may feel insurmountable, butd friends, there’s always a wayt out,” Jacklin read. “I cannott imagine what his family and hisw friends may be experiencing ata this moment, but I ask that we keep them in our thoughts and our prayers. Let us take thist tragedy as a reminder, a re-c minder to look, a reminder top listen and a reminder to love.”i

continued from page 1 rector of Visit Oxford, echoed Hendrickson’s thoughts.

“The city and university population is just under 50,000 each day, but we estimate that number grows by an additional 200,000 on game weekends,” Ferris said. “Our overall Oxford hotel occupancy was 91% for the weekend of the LSU game, and our food/beverage operators saw an increase in reservations and guests.”

That increase in business activity extends beyond hotels and restaurants.

“People who make the trip are also likely to visit local grocery stores, shops on the Square and other retailers,” Henrickson said.

Lauren Grimes, general manager of Big Bad Breakfast, noted a significant increase in sales from both food and merchandise.

“We definitely see larger crowds during home games,” Grimes said. “100+ more with significant boost in our sales not only from guests dining with us but guests enjoying drinks/coffee and purchasing merchandise while they are on our waitlist.”

Hudson McGhee, owner of Oxford Creamery located on the Square, agrees: “Football game weekends are some of the biggest weekends of the year for us as a business on the Square.

It is a fun experience for us to get to meet a lot of new people that come into the creamery, but we also get to serve our out-of-town regulars who always come see us every time

Student Activity Fee supports campus organizations

TANISSA RINGO

thedmnews@gmail.com

Within the last week, students have been able to make their own loaded teas and customize spray painted hats — all without paying a dime. But are these events really free?

The answer is no.

Every student enrolled full time at UM supports the SAF account by contributing two dollars per credit hour in their tuition. The initial SAF charge was a flat rate of five dollars per person, but this was deemed insufficient to fund all of the student organizations.

At the end of the 2021-2022 school year, after a sweeping campaign from that year’s ASB Treasurer Alex Mabry, students voted to change the way they contribute to the SAF in what is now the current system.

Teal Salloum, a senior accountancy major and ASB treasurer, played an important role in boosting the SAF. “I was one of the three authors of the bill that initiated the change of this flat rate of five dollars to the two dollars per credit hour structure we use now, which has had great success,” Salloum said.

With the highest student enrollment ever this year, the SAF account is at an all-time high.

The Treasury Department’s net revenue for the SAF account this semester is almost $500,000.

“About 50% of the $500,000 we have in the fund for this semester has been allocated, so we are right on target to use the full amount through the end of the semester. With these increased

to win a $50 Cookout gift card. ” ASB Senator and Chair of the Housing Committee Hayden Pierce believes that the d survey will provide more ine sight into what issues are more . common among students. a “Our survey data will steer r the direction of our committee s work, as we will prioritize the issues that seem most prevalent in the student body,” h Pierce said. “Already, it apd pears that maintenance, hous. ing for graduate and international students, the lockout policy, among others, are areas

funds available, we are encouraging all registered student organizations to apply for funding,” Salloum said. “The SAF is a great resource for all student organizations to be able to host events, foster a strong community, purchase materials and much more.”

Over 500 student organizations are eligible for funding this semester. There are five different categories of funding: open events, closed events, promotional material, operational expense and professional development. Organizations may also request funding for large scale events, which are events that are open to all students with at least one hundred in attendance.

To be approved for SAF funding, an RSO must first attend a funding orientation. The dates for funding orientations are available on ASB’s website.

After attending Funding Orientation an RSO can submit a funding request through the ForUM. The Treasury Department meets every Monday to review the previous week’s requests, and RSOs will be notified whether or not they are approved either Tuesday or Wednesday.

“These funding requests are reviewed on a rolling basis, so there is never a bad time to apply for funding,” Salloum said.

“However, we recommend applying for funding at least two weeks prior to needing the money.”

The Student Activities Association is one RSO that has already received SAF funding. The organization received roughly $100,000 of their requested $146,800 rto host

of substantial student concern that we plan to tackle.”

One question on the survey asks about the experience of relocating to another room on campus, which many freshmen have dealt with firsthand.

Mia Thomas, a freshman psychology major, expressed frustration toward the lack of options available to her when she began having roommate problems.

“It’s very challenging and stressful trying to change rooms when you are having emergent roommate struggles,” Thomas said. “The options given to me were either temporarily staying with a stranger until an ideal room opens up or staying in a hotel.”

ANTONELLA RESCIGNO / THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN

The Student Activity Association hosts “Tea Me Up” where students customize loaded teas in front of the union. campus-wide events like Welcome Week, Homecoming Week, Hotty Toddy Holidays, Rebel Run, Fall Fest and other scheduled events.

Daneel Konnar, a senior public policy leadership major, serves as the executive director for SAA. Konnar is grateful that the SAF is available to both SAA and other organizations.

“Undoubtedly, we are thankful for how the SAF supports our programming on our growing campus,” Konnar said.

With SAF funding, SAA has been able to continue of-

fering both traditional and new events around campus.

“The SAF allows the organization to continue these signature events and create many programming opportunities for our entire campus community,” Konnar said.

Endia Thomas, a sophomore allied health studies major, feels that events such as the ones at Welcome Week provide a great way to meet new people.

“It was nice to come back to campus with this type of fun,” Thomas said. “It gave me a chance to meet different people. I met

new freshmen on campus. It was a great first week experience.”

The SAF also allows for SAA events to be more diverse and accessible to the whole student body.

“With SAF funding we are able to create and plan a variety of events that cater to every student’s interests,” Konnar said.

“Funding also determines how we are able to bring large-scale events and activities for students to enjoy, and it can also influence the number of events we hold on a weekly and monthly basis.”

While finding a room has been complicated on-campus, sophomore integrated marketing communications major Kaylee Nye explained how management has not been able to fill the empty room in her off-campus apartment.

“The only thing with apartment management is that they have been struggling to fill our empty room once our roommate moved out,” Nye said.

Nye further explained that while her housing situation has been mostly unproblematic, parking has posed a major problem.

“I live in an off-campus apartment, and while it is fairly affordable for me and the management has mostly been

accommodating, the biggest struggle has been trying to commute to campus and park for class,” Nye said. “There doesn’t seem to be enough parking passes and spots to accommodate the amount of people who live off-campus, and that’s been my biggest issue related to housing.”

Difficulty changing rooms is just one of the many issues that ASB has incorporated into the survey. Other areas the survey asks about include housing prices, safety, amenities and more.

Even though responses are still coming in, the committee is already planning their next steps.

“We will present the survey

findings to the City of Oxford’s Affordable Housing Committee, University Student Housing and other university administrators to show them what students need,” Pierce said.

As the ASB Housing Committee waits for survey results, Pierce elaborated on ways the committee is currently helping students.

“In our mission to serve students, it is vital that students feel comfortable communicating their concerns with us,” Pierce said. “Housing-wise, we have been able to connect students with Student Housing staff, professionals in the University Law School’s Housing Clinic, community providers and other nonprofits.”

Meet Jennifer Williams, the ‘Crosswalk Lady’ JERIDIANE RAY

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Jennifer Williams, campus traffic director, has earned the nickname “Crosswalk Lady” from the University of Mississippi students crossing the intersection of Sorority Row and Grove Loop. Her euphonious voice and warm attitude shine brighter than her trademark reflective vest, and her impact on campus exceeds the few hours she spends directing traffic in the crosswalk between Barnard Observatory and Farley Hall each class day.

After escaping an abusive relationship, Williams began working for a local security company, Wood Security, in 2017. Williams quickly found passion and hope through the opportunity.

“My first day, I worked at the crosswalk by the music center, and I fell in love with it,” Williams said.

Williams, a mother of three, has worked all around the Oxford area, from All American Drive to the roads near Lafayette County schools.

When a co-worker departed the company, a position opened for Williams to work at a crosswalk full-time.

“I told them, ‘I want crosswalks,’ and the rest is history,” Williams said.

Through her newfound passion for conducting traffic at crosswalks, Williams discovered an outlet to face her depression by brightening the world around her.

“I was looking up what I can do for depression, and it said that the muscles used to smile create serotonin and

dopamine. So I was in traffic at Lafayette, and I decided that I’m just gonna smile. I started smiling, and I noticed everybody else was smiling — at me. Then we were all smiling, and that made me really happy. So I’ve just done that ever since,” Williams said.

Williams’ enthusiastic attitude not only improves her mental health but also aids her in protecting students.

Williams aims to create a distinct bond with the students so that she can serve and protect them outside the bounds of the crosswalk.

“If they mess up or misstep, I don’t start screaming or hollering. I laugh or I smile, and they know they can feel comfortable with me.

I want them to be able to say, ‘I think something is going on here and I need to talk to somebody — they can come to me. I may not be able to give them advice, but I sure can listen. If they need a smile, I got that too,” Williams said.

Williams’ Southern twang and personality allow her to connect with students and convey her care for them.

“I’m from the South and I can’t remember names; I want to make it personal. I want them to know that I appreciate them — you know, thank you baby girl. They really are my baby girls and everything else,” Williams said.

Williams’ most notable line, “Hold up guys!,” comes from the song “The Next Episode” by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg that was released during her early Jennifer Williams. adulthood, Williams shared.

her a notable figure around campus, even gaining traction on Yik Yak, an anonymous social media platform where users can make short posts.

Though confused about her popularity on campus, Williams embraces the supporters that interact with her and show appreciation for her work.

“When I am working the game over at the Pavilion on the crosswalk, the kids are a little bit happier. They get so excited. Why are you so excited about me?” Williams said. “The guys are like, ‘I love you!’ Those - Jennifer Williams are the times that really stick with me — when they feel com-

fortable enough to go, ‘You’re my favorite crosswalk lady.’”

Williams’ best moments are spent in the simplicity of everyday conversation with students.

“The hellos, good mornings and thank yous — all of the kids are just so sweet and nice to me,” Williams said. “I have a couple that have a bad day, but it’s just a bad day.

Because the next day, they’re just as happy as can be.”

Williams’ motivation for her work is driven by positive interactions with the student body.

“Sometimes, I don’t want to go to work. I can be having a really sad day, and I get out

there and I start smiling. Then the first students come by and they’re smiling; then the next students come by and they’re smiling. I get this brightness in my chest,” Williams said.

Since the online publication of this article, Williams has received a flood of positive commentary from the community.

“Several students and several teachers stopped me and talked about it. One student told me I was viral on Yik Yak,” Williams said. “It feels good to know I’m making a difference and that everyone appreciates me so much.”

continued from page 1 a digital market site, shopping locally is the way to go.

“Amazon does an enormous amount of business, but there are a lot of people who continue to shop here because they prefer to shop this way. They like the presence of Square Books in this community in Mississippi and want to support that,” Howorth said.

For those who elect to purchase books from large retailers like Amazon, affordability is a major part of the appeal. For instance, “The Candy House,” a novel by Jennifer Egan, can be bought as a hardcover on Amazon for $14.89. Square Books sells the same book for $28. This is almost double the price of the Amazon copy, which also offers free shipping for Prime members.

Oxford local and junior journalism major Emma Greene notices the price difference,

but she believes she gets more for her buck buying locally.

“While I do notice a price difference, the experience of shopping at a local bookstore will always be worth it to me,” Greene said.

According to a study done by the American Booksellers Association and Civic Economics, shoppers spent $367 billion on Amazon in 2021. Approximately 136,000 retail shops were displaced in the same year, and in turn 1.7 million retail workers were out of work.

“Buying from Amazon circulates just 5.8% of revenue into your local economy. Buying from local, independently owned bookstores creates 4 times more local economic activity than buying from Amazon,” ABA said.

Even though Amazon offers perks such as worldwide shipping and lower prices, local bookstores have distinct benefits.

Events such as book signings and story-time takeovers make buying local an enticing experience.

“If I’m looking to browse

or read for fun, Square Books is the best option for me. The wide variety of options makes it easier to find new things to read. Amazon is perfect if you know exactly what you need, but otherwise an in-person store is more practical,” junior accounting major Caroline Dykes said.

Ridgeland, Miss., native and freshman accounting major Mia Penner says that she sometimes purchases books online, but that does not mean that she buys from Amazon, either.

“If it’s a book that I for sure know is not going to be in stores … I will purchase it online, but not through Amazon,” Penner said. “Most of the time, I purchase it through Thrift Books, so it’s used and cheap.”

Square Books has been in business since 1979. Gross profits for the business have risen every year but two – the 2008 recession and 2020 pandemic.

Even during these tough times, Square Books kept a significant amount of loyal customers.

According to Howorth,

“While I do notice a price difference, the experience of shopping at a local bookstore will always be worth it to me.”

his store’s atmosphere and the feeling of shopping for books in-person keeps customers coming back for more.

“A lot of the people who come to our store like the experience of being in the store and seeing all the books. They like to go to a certain section of the store and see a selection of new books or standard backlist,” Howorth said.

Whether buying from Square Books or online book

purchasing services, there is a consensus in finding whatever suits each individual best.

“Both Amazon and Square Books are solid options. It just depends on what you are looking for,” Dykes said.

Memory Makers brings joy to Alzheimer’s patients

MARY EVANS

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Sophie Lane and Amber Cecil are memory makers. The senior and junior University of Mississippi students are co-presidents of student organization Memory Makers and have been passionately volunteering and making a difference in Oxford’s elderly community for years now.

Memory Makers is an organization on the UM campus that brings joy and community to residents of The Pinnacle, an assisted living facility in Oxford. The group practices something dubbed memory care, which is engaging with patients that have Alzheimer’s and dementia by providing them with company. Sometimes, this leads to close connections between the memory maker and the Pinnacle patient.

“We had one resident named Miss Rachael. She was like our grandma; we loved her so much. We would decorate her room for Christmas, Valentine’s — everything,” Lane said.

The program care is beneficial to both residents and volunteers, offering students the experience to interact with seniors and develop valuable

communication skills. Their experiences have helped them overcome challenges and relieve stress during difficult times.

“It’s fun. It gives you a different perspective. I love hearing where they’ve come from and how their life is today,” Cecil said. “It makes me wonder how much I’ll live through and what stories I’m going to tell when I’m their age. It makes me want to cherish all the time I have.”

Lane founded the organization, spurred by spending her high school years volunteering at assisted living centers.

With nearly 500 members, Memory Makers has grown tremendously. Officially starting the club a year ago, Lane and Cecil have worked diligently to recruit members to make a positive impact in the Oxford community.

Despite the high number of members, the duo stated that recruitment is their biggest challenge.

“It’s hard (because) you have a lot of members in the GroupMe, but then you have to translate that to the members who actually show up,” Lane said.

Much of the group’s recent growth has happened by reaching out to other student

The organization intends to expand their reach to additional assisted living centers to support more seniors in the

community. They are also working on fundraising efforts to provide additional aid to residents who may require financial assistance for their needs.

Lane and Cecil hope to create a strong foundation to ensure the organization

continues to instill the same dedication and sense of purpose in residents and volunteers even after they graduate.

“We’re not just something you sign up for for community service hours. We really want to make a difference,” Cecil said.

Kindness Club spreads smiles, inclusion at UM LYDIA WATERS

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Though the University of Mississippi has a number of clubs that aim to benefit the Oxford community, the Kindness Club has the singular goal of spreading positivity.

The organization started last April when Abby Newton, a 2023 graduate from UM with a degree in special education, got close with her student teaching class during her senior year. For her thesis, she decided to start a club centered on bringing attention and equality to people with disabilities around Oxford.

“The Kindness Club’s mission is to spread positivity, celebrate inclusivity and welcome diversity within the School of Education and around campus,” Kindness Club President Anna Katherine McDonough said. “We want to celebrate the achievements and resilience of individ-

uals, but also create opportunities for members of the School of Education community to come together to connect and engage in activities that promote a positive and inclusive atmosphere.”

There are few clubs in the School of Education, so this gives education students another option to get involved. Senior special education major and Kindness Club Vice President Savannah Wehman promotes this.

“We want it to be campus-wide, but it’s easy for us to have a reach in the School of Education because it is a smaller department at Ole Miss,” Wehman said.

The club aims to make UM a more inclusive place for those with disabilities. This mission and Newton’s leadership drove McDonough to join the club.

“It was just something that really interested me, with my major being special education, and I wanted to help,” Mc-

Donough said. “I wanted to help make campus more inclusive for everyone and make people smile, and I’ve always loved doing random acts of kindness.”

Wehman bonded with Newton; she was a junior observer in Newton’s student-teaching class.

“I really looked up to (Newton), and I still do,” Wehman said. “I heard about (the club) from her, and I’m really close to Anna Katherine.”

The next event the club will hold will honor former professor of the School of Education, Maxine Harper. Past events have been enjoying lemonade and learning how influential faces of UM have overcome adversity, as well as lighthearted fun of painting rocks and enjoying popsicles.

“I just hope that our club LESLIE JOBLIN / THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN builds a culture where diversity is celebrated and kindness is at the forefront of in- The Kindness Club hosts an event outside of Guyton Hall earlier in the teractions,” McDonough said. semester.

Revisiting boygenius’s ‘the record’ and introducing ‘the rest’

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

All-girl indie supergroup boygenius released their latest extended play, “the rest,” on Friday, Oct 13, as a companion to their full-length debut album, “the record,” that was released back in March. The EP is made up of four songs that did not make the original track list.

Boygenius is what happens when the musical masterminds that are singer-songwriters Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus come together and write songs with lyrical themes of existentialism and intimate friendship. The group released their self-titled EP in 2018 to critical acclaim, garnering the group a fanbase independent of their careers as solo artists.

A highly anticipated release from the trio five years in the making,“the record” did not disappoint. From poignant acoustic ballads like “Cool About It” to headbanging rock anthems like “Satanists,” the album provided a depressingly comforting journey with concepts of lack of identity, relationship dissatisfaction and societal rebellion as some of the stops along the way.

2023 has been the year of

boygenius with a top-charting album, a “Rolling Stone” cover, opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and their own international tour with several soldout shows. Another highlight was the release of their third project together, “the rest.”

Fans all over social media have joked about how they are going to have to wait five more years for new music from the group. None of them could have predicted that they would be getting new boygenius songs only six months after the release of their first album.

The tracks of the EP reflect some of the themes mentioned previously. In a similar fashion, each song on the EP is headed by a different member.

The opening track, “Black Hole,” led predominantly by Baker and Dacus, is a song about the existing duality in everything. The lyrics, “You can see the stars, the ones / The headlines said this morning / Were bein’ spat out by what we thought / Was destroyin’ everything for good,” show how something that is seen as destructive can also aid in the creation of something beautiful — like black holes in relation to galaxies and stars.

“Afraid of Heights,” led by

Dacus, deals with the desire to live a life that is fulfilling but being held back by the anxieties of everyday life. The song uses a fear of heights as a metaphor and contrasting viewpoints between a daredevil and someone more cautious.

Phoebe Bridgers takes the lead on “Voyager,” a song about being in a relationship with someone the narrator loves so much but has to leave to save themselves. Besides being named after the Voyager 1 spacecraft, the title refers to going on a voyage and leaving someone. Bridgers sings, “Walkin’ alone in the city / Makes me feel like a man on the moon / Every small step I took was so easy / But I never imagined a dot quite as pale or as blue / You took it from me, but I would’ve given it to you.”

Though there are six credited songwriters on this song alone, Bridgers probably wrote that specific line. The songstress always had an affinity for writing about objects in space, most notably the moon. The narrator leaving this relationship is, compared to walking on the moon, “easy” and light. The “Pale Blue Dot” is a picture of the Earth from 1990.

The “dot” signifies that Bridgers would have given the world

to her partner, even though they took everything from her.

Finally, Baker-led “Powers” presents the questions “Where do I come from?” and “Why am I the way that I am?” Baker uses superhero-esque origin tropes and quantum physics-related topics as metaphors to help her make sense of her existence.

I am so grateful that “the boys,” a name that the female musicians use for themselves as

a term of endearment, decided to share more of what they had to offer. It is easy for someone to look at the title of the project and its content and think that it is merely the rejects from “the record,” but I disagree. “the rest” is simply a brief, complementary piece that is meant to continue the “voyage” that “the record” initially brought us along for.

UM Opera Theatre celebrates being human ALIZA WARNER

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

“Secrets & Rumors” is the University of Mississippi Opera Theatre’s first performance this production season.

Through the medium of music storytelling, the show promises to encapsulate all human emotions and experiences.

For those who have never experienced opera theater, this type of performance has characteristics that differ from other forms of entertainment. Lucy Elfert, a freshman majoring in vocal performance, feels that opera is a form of storytelling that we are already familiar with.

“It’s storytelling, just like theater, but it’s through main-

ly the field of song,” Elfert said.

Opera theater can be emotionally powerful, especially for the performers. Zoe Bofill, a first-year graduate student studying vocal performance, describes the performance of opera as an act of something beautifully extreme.

Antoin Marshall, a second-year graduate student studying vocal performance, explains that this upcoming performance celebrates the complexities of human emotions that audiences may sometimes overlook and view as mundane.

“When it comes down to opera theater, we are able to show people what it really means to be extremely angry,

extremely sad and extremely in love,” Marshall said.

When preparing for these upcoming performances, everyone involved embraced the challenges of performing opera and enjoyed the ensemble environment that came with it.

Kristina Tullgren, a first-year graduate student studying vocal performance, explains that the collaborative space and being able to learn from others are what make opera special.

“I’ve just felt really supported and taking someone else’s point of view and combining it with my own is, I think, that’s the best part of what opera is, is the ensemble feel,” Tullgren said.

Bunt shares her delight

in seeing students of all levels bringing their dedication and creative perspectives to the rehearsal process.

“I’m incredibly proud of the investment that they have given this show, in all levels,” Director of Opera Theater at UM Bonita Bunt said.

“They have come in here prepared, ready to be creative, and we have truly built something special because of that collaborative nature.”

“Secrets & Rumors” includes a contemporary piece composed by second-year music graduate student Emily Clements. The piece Clements composed, “Letters to Lily,” recently won third place in the American Prize competition

in the theater-composer category at the university level.

“It’s a trio with three women, two of which have realized recently that they have, like, fallen in love with each other and this takes place around 1969, when the Stonewall riots began,” Clements said. “It’s an LGBT opera and it shines a light on, you know, that diversity group and also just anybody who doesn’t feel like they fit in the norm, per se, of society.”

If you have never experienced live opera before, the performers encourage you to take the opportunity to do so.

“Secrets & Rumors” will take place on Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 22 at 3:00 p.m. at Nutt Auditorium. Admission is free.

Ole Miss looks to overcome ‘upset alert’ narrative in trap game versus Auburn TEDDY KING

thedmsports@gmail.com

Coming off a win and a restful bye weekend, Ole Miss will travel to Auburn to face the Tigers in another SEC West matchup. After some time off for the Rebels and a tough loss to LSU for Auburn, it is safe to say Ole Miss has a lot going for it this weekend.

After a disappointing defeat on the road to No. 22 LSU in Death Valley, Auburn Head Coach Hugh Freeze and the Tigers are looking to defend their home turf this weekend.

With a weaker offense and an above-average defense, Auburn is a 5.5 underdog going into this game.

After the departure of Bryan Harsin, and the short-lived era of Interim Head Coach Cadillac Williams, Auburn welcomed

After back-to-back onescore wins against SEC West opponents LSU and Arkansas, the Ole Miss Rebels enjoyed some much-deserved rest on the bye week. Now that Week 8 is upon us, the Rebels are gearing up to face yet another SEC West team: Auburn.

Although the Tigers sit at an unimpressive 3-3 record, there are several key players who deserve the Rebels’ attention.

QB Payton Thorne Auburn’s woes this season can mainly be traced to a lack of offensive firepower, as they rank last in the SEC in total offensive production. Leading this inept offense is junior QB Payton Thorne. After being recruited from Michigan State University, Thorne has left much to be desired in his first year under center for the

former Ole Miss and Liberty University Head Coach Hugh Freeze to the program. He has not gotten the start he desired, but that does not mean he cannot pull off an upset or two.

The Rebels, having one of the strongest and most powerful offenses in the nation, come into this game thinking that they should win. Coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels have hopes of improving to 6-1 going into their second SEC road game of the season, after losing to Alabama 24-10 back in September. All that stands in the way is an Auburn team with nothing to lose.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart has proven that he has what it takes to bring home a win for the Rebels.

Dart this season has thrown for 1,638 yards and 12 touchdowns. Alongside him stands

star offensive players, including running back Quinshon Judkins and wide receivers Tre Harris and Zakhari Franklin.

Auburn struggled more this season than they anticipated.

The 3-3 unranked Tigers just came off their third loss in a row and are currently 0-3 in the SEC. The addition of former Michigan State QB Payton Thorne has been a steep obstacle for the Tigers to overcome In 2023, Thorne has thrown for 745 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions.

In a Dart-Thorne QB battle, Dart takes the cake in almost every statistical category.

Ole Miss and Auburn are meeting for the 48th time this Saturday in Jordan-Hare, known for having one of the best stadium atmospheres in all of college football. Being the favorite going into this week-

Auburn roster breakdown: Who do they have?

Tigers. He averages a mere 124 passing yards per game and has four touchdowns and four interceptions this season.

He somewhat makes up for his lackluster stats in the air with his production on the ground, as he is the team’s leading rusher with 225 yards and two touchdowns. While these numbers do not jump off the page, it is still in the Rebels’ best interest to keep him from scrambling and force him to make plays through the air.

The Entire Rushing Attack

Due to Auburn’s struggles through the air this season, Head Coach Hugh Freeze has had an extra incentive to run the ball, and he has chosen to do so through a backfield committee. The Tigers have seven different players with nearly 100 yards rushing or more on the season.

RBs Jarquez Hunter and

Brian Battie lead the team in carries and yards per carry, respectively, but the depth of their running game does not stop there. Backup QB Robby Ashford is tied for highest yards per carry and leads the team with five touchdowns on the ground.

If the Ole Miss defense can stop the Tigers’ spread rushing effort, it could further put pressure on Thorne to save the game.

LB Eugene Asante

Much of Auburn’s limited success this season can be attributed to the efforts of its defense, and its leader is junior linebacker Eugene Asante.

Asante is all over the field during games, registering 47 tackles, 30 of which were solo. He also holds a team-leading three sacks on the season and has even registered a pass deflection.

While it may be hard to

Ole Miss tight end Casey Kelly block Auburn Defensive End Derick Hall during a game on Oct. 15, 2022. pinpoint a specific player that can carry a defense, Asante is a key piece in Auburn’s defensive strength. The Tiger defense, however, has struggled against other SEC opponents, and if Ole Miss wants to follow this pattern, it must account for Asante.

Although more contentious games lie ahead, it would be a shame for the Rebels to overlook any SEC team, no matter the record. Correctly preparing to face this Auburn roster is required for a win on Saturday.

others got rest and time to heal before the second half of the season.

It seems the Ole Miss ground game is finally finding form, with both Quinshon Judkins and Ul-

ysses Bentley IV heavily contributing. Ole Miss is the favorite and the better team, but the Rebels need to stay sharp and bring their best in Jordan-Hare.

Player spotlight: Caden Prieskorn slowly delivering on off-season hype IAN SPARKS

thedmsports@gmail.com

A tight end in a Lane Kiffin-coached offense often fits like a final piece to a puzzle. During Kiffin’s 10-plus years as a head coach and offensive coordinator, tight ends have tended to reach their full potential as they integrated into his offensive scheme.

Former Memphis standout Caden Priskorn is the latest in a line of highly successful, ultra-talented TEs to play for Kiffin.

Prieskorn was ranked as the No. 5 tight end in the transfer sportal this past offseason. He ais a 6-foot-10-inch, 255-pound -player who possesses the same rskill set and build that O.J. gHoward and Harrison Bryant -had: a big target who can catch .the ball and block for his backs.

In his last year at Memphis, Prieskorn caught 48 passes for

602 yards and seven touchdowns.

His accomplishments as a Tiger made him a semifinalist for the Mackey Award in 2022, and he was named to the Mackey Award Preseason Watchlist in 2023.

He has struggled with injury thus far in Oxford. He had knee surgery early on this season, which kept him out until Week 4 against Alabama. Despite his injury woes, Prieskorn has proven to be a valuable asset for the Rebel offense.

He has shown flashes of his ability in his limited game time so far, and he fits the system well.

He had one catch for 21 yards against Alabama and three receptions for 42 yards against LSU. Purely looking at the numbers, they are not setting the world on fire. However, his first three games in a Rebel uniform being at Alabama, LSU and Arkansas, coupled with re-

covering from injury, further show the drive and talent that have gotten Prieskorn this far.

Having a player like Prieskorn in Ole Miss’ offense is going to have a positive effect. A guy of his size that can catch the football is not without admiration.

There is a reason that Kiffin and Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. both fawned over him: He has the ability to step up and be a guy who wants the ball in tough situations against the best teams.

The Rebels have six games left this season. Six games that, in an ideal world, could see the Rebels potentially head to the SEC title game. There will be games that Tre Harris, Jordan Watkins and Dayton Wade could each or even all be phased out, and that is when Prieskorn’s true importance to this team will become evident.

Ole Miss and Auburn have a history of bitterness, disdain and downright hatred toward one another. Before last year, Auburn had won the previous six matchups. This year, odds-makers think we could see a repeat of last year’s Ole Miss victory, but what might student journalists think?

The Hugh Freeze era at Auburn has not started on the hottest of streaks, as the team sits at 3-3 overall and 0-3 in the SEC — not to mention a three-game losing streak heading into this weekend.

Jacob Waters, sports editor for The Auburn Plainsman said, “I don’t think this game will be a personal game for Hugh Freeze even though it’s against his old team, but I do think the players and the fans will be amped up and want to get a win for him.”

Though they may be struggling, Auburn can take solace in the fact that they may have a slight edge over Ole Miss on defense.

“Auburn’s 49th in the country in pass defense while Ole Miss is 108th,” Waters said.

Statistically, the Tigers boast the better defense, but it does not take a college football genius to say that Ole Miss blows Auburn out of the water when it comes to offensive production.

Ole Miss averages 41.7 points per game, 306 passing yards per game and 9.8 yards per pass attempt per game.

Conversely, Auburn averages 27.7 points per game, 155.8 passing yards per game and only 6.3 yards per pass attempt. “(Quarterback) Payton Thorne has proven he just can’t run the offense well right now, but I’m still not a believer in (backup) Robby Ashford’s arm,” Waters

said. “I do think that Auburn needs to switch to Ashford and basically just run the ball the majority of the game.”

A lot of the conversations surrounding this game circle back to how Ole Miss will handle the environment of Jordan-Hare Stadium. It is a night game, it is a stripe-out game for Auburn and the Tigers and the Tiger faithful would love nothing more than to end Ole Miss’ already slim hopes of representing the SEC West.

“They play much better at home it seems, so I think that’s where Auburn’s hope of pulling off an upset would be,” Waters said. “I feel like Auburn’s had this game circled on the schedule since the summer, and now that this game is at night, Auburn will be even more motivated.”

Jacob Waters’ Final Score Prediction: Ole Miss 31, Auburn 24

My tip is to ‘find your way’ A’DAVION BUSH

thedmopinion@gmail.com

​​​​ During our senior year of high school, we’re typically busy with finishing the year and preparing for college. We’re ecstatic about what’s to come, who we’ll meet, what we’ll do, and what we’ll see.

By May, ​ ​​ we have received many college success tips. You may have heard things like; “develop good study habits,“ “learn to manage your time,“ “give yourself time to adjust,“ “it’s ok to be homesick“ and famously, “take eight a.m. classes”. Although these are decent tips, they are not ​ en​ ough to satisfy what we need in order to excel in matriculation.

Honestly, I think the best tip is to get here and find your way. ​​​​Firstly, the first semester of college lets you know if you’re mentally prepared for what you’re about to embark on for the next few years of your life, so you have to be careful not to underestimate the transition to college.

As a freshman, I feel that the best way to ease the transition is to expect the unexpected. That’s what I’ve done. Secondly, you’re dealing with how to balance your social life and academic pursuits. That’s something I’m having fun dealing with. I had my concept all planned out, and it’s working just fine for me.

In ​​ college, you’re going to meet so many new and different people, so you’d want to go

out and explore, which I must say, does interfere with the main reason you’re on campus.

A wide range of things will call for your atten​​ tion during college years. From academic work, extracurricular pursuits, potential employment and a the coveted university social life. As you can see, the most valuable resource you have is going to be time. Your success inside and outside of the classroom hinges on your ability to divvy it up efficiently.

But what if you’re terrible at managing your time? What if you are exceptional at putting things off? How can you get back on track, you ask?

Fret not. We’ve all been there at one time or another since school started, and I can assure you that things should play out. You still must do your part academically. We reap what we sow, even in the classroom.

My main word of advice ​ is to find your way and balance everything. By focusing too much on one set of responsibilities in your life, you open up yourself to a variety of negative consequences. ​​For example, many working professionals return to school in order to advance in their careers. But if you neglect the demands of your job in order to devote more time to studying, you may be demoted or even fired.

If you do not make sufficient time for your schoolwork, however, you may fall behind in your classes and fail to earn a degree. Many people who try to juggle both school a n d

work end up sacrificing their personal well-being.

They may eat poorly, sleep less, or spend less time with loved ones, which can disastrously affect their physical and mental health. You may find yourself sick more often or unable to deal with feelings of stress and depression. Despite allocating more time overall to school, your academic performance could still suffer as a result.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it especially wasn’t built by one man alone. Independence and taking charge of your own affairs are essential components of adulthood. However, you should also be able to tell when more assistance might be necessary. The wonderful thing about college is that there are so many​​ resources available to you. Talk to your professors, academic advisers or student health and counseling services. Don’t feel ashamed about asking for assistance​.

Learn how to manage your time and balance life in college. It’s not something you’re born with, it’s something you learn. So, if it takes a while, don’t panic. You’ll get the hang of it with time and consistency. The purpose of college is not only to educate you, but to also become a well-rounded individual. I hope that you use these tips to your advantage and find your balance in your college life.
