Government shutdown trickles down to UM By KATELYN MILLER kamille3@go.olemiss.edu
The federal government officially shut down Oct. 1, the first day of the country’s fiscal year, causing nonessential federal services to be put on hold until Congress passes the annual national spending bill. Although state funding regulates nearly all of The University of Mississippi’s operations, some students are feeling the impact of the shutdown directly. Senior biochemistry major Nicholas Boullard, who works as a research assistant for the university, will face potentially longterm interruptions to his experiments. “I’m quantifying the products of nitric oxide from endothelial cell growth medium,” Boullard said. “To get a more accurate reading, I need to use some of the equipment in the National Products Research Center, which I currently cannot do until the government resumes function.” The National Center for Natural Products Research on campus is just one of many offices affected by the shutdown. At least 68 government agencies and programs nationwide are currently closed or partially closed. “Compared to the other research projects going on in the center, this holdup is nothing,” Boullard said of his project. “Especially when you factor in the knowledge that several of the experiments are long-running, time-sensitive endeavors.” Boullard considers himself for-

tunate that he was able to freeze his growth medium until he has access to the NCNPR, whereas many researchers were not so lucky. The shutdown is expected to be short-lived, as a government shutdown has never lasted longer than 21 days. However, the resumed function of the federal government depends on what many, including President Obama, consider to be an ideological battle. The spending bill, which must be passed at the beginning of each fiscal year, has been passed back and forth between the two
congressional branches over one main point of contention: the Affordable Care Act and the 2.3 percent tax it would levy on medical supplies. The House aims to push the ACA back a full year and abolish the tax, whereas the Senate refuses to pass a bill with any changes made to the current ACA provisions. As a matter of legislative fact, the key parts of the ACA are funded by mandatory spending that will remain unaffected by the spending bill. President Barack Obama called the gridlock a “Republican shutdown” in his statement
on Tuesday. “Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care Act” Obama said. “In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job.” Analysts expect at least 800,000 of the roughly 3.3 million federal employees to go unpaid for an unknown duration. While in the past, furloughed workers have sometimes been paid retroactively, that is solely at the discretion of members of Congress. Since the law forbids Congress from legislating its own
pay, the senators and representatives responsible for the gridlock will continue to receive paychecks. The only way the shutdown can be ended is by the passage of a mutually agreed-upon spending bill, which would then have to be signed by the president. One of the simplest ways to achieve this is for the House and Senate to have a direct conference, rather than simply passing the spending bill back and forth between themselves. As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Congress still had not come to an agreement to end the shutdown.

OPINION: House Republicans
University of Mississippi student Carson Otter is expected to make a full recovery after leaving an Austin, Texas, hospital for the first time Monday since he was beaten on Sixth Street during the weekend of the Ole Miss-Texas game in September. Otter is returning home to Bloomington, Indiana, today after spending more than two weeks in the hospital healing a fractured skull. The senior real

followed by speech therapy and cognitive training. According to KVUE-ABC in Austin, both Otter and his mother expressed their appreciation of the support coming from Ole Miss, particularly the Ole Miss Alumni Association in Austin, which has set up a way to help the Otter family with medical bills. Those interested in helping can donate to the Carson Otter Charity Fund, with deposits being accepted at any Regions Bank location using the account number 018977039.

estate finance major will miss the rest of the semester. Otter was hit in the head and knocked unconscious while walking near East 7th and Trinity Streets around 2 a.m. the morning before the game. The fracture occurred when he fell and hit the curb, causing his head to almost split apart. A Texas student Otter had just met saved him, holding his head together until the ambulance arrived. Since the incident, Otter has been put through intense rehab, starting with physical training

House Republicans break bad By Christine Dickason Christine Dickason
PATRICIA THOMPSON director and faculty adviser
Over the weekend, Congress put on a show for the American people—one that displayed the very worst characteristics of our elected representatives. Political discussions turned into screaming matches, filled with personal attacks and factual errors. What caused the chaos? The arguments stemmed from the inability of Congress to pass a continuing resolution to fund the federal government. Due to this failure, the federal government has been shut down. Let’s be sure we are clear what this is really about. It’s about stopping a law that will ensure that 129 million Americans living with pre-existing conditions can get proper health care coverage. It’s

about defunding a law that was found constitutional by the Supreme Court. It’s about preventing a law that will allow 14 million currently uninsured individuals to get health care coverage by 2014. Republicans in the House were so desperate to delay—or, in some cases, completely defeat—the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that they were willing to take the country hostage. They did so by including language in all of the funding bills that would seek to render the ACA ineffective. The ironic part of all of this? As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) admitted in August, shutting down the government does not slow or stop the implementation of the ACA. The GOP’s refusal to accept reality has led to a growing list of

victims who are forced to bear the brunt of the consequences when the Republicans attempt to use funding bills as tools for negotiation. When backed into a corner, House Republicans attack certain programs, many of which are designed to protect those who are most vulnerable in our society. Let’s take a quick look at just a few of the programs impacted by the government shutdown. Scientific research will take a drastic hit. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced it will be limited in its capacity to identify outbreaks of infectious diseases; and, just in time for flu season, the CDC will not be able to support its annual flu program.

will remain at work, slowing the processing of Pell Grants and student loans. The Department of Homeland Security will shut down its E-Verify program, preventing employers from checking on the legal status of potential employees. Because it is not considered as “essential,” the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children—a program that 9 million Americans rely on for food assistance—will be at risk of completely shutting down.

The elephant in the room
By: Whitney Greer whitneygreere@gmail.com
Eighteen percent of the American economy has been rewritten into a snarling train wreck tens of thousands of pages long, and crammed down the throats of Americans. All Americans except for policymakers who exempted themselves from the law and those corporate giants Obama personally signed waivers for, but let’s not speak of that. Instead, let us discuss the closure of the National Zoo (How will Americans get through a day without the panda cam?) and how the GOP wants nothing more than to see uninsured Americans perishing in droves
BREAK, continued from page 2 furloughed are the bills that they have to pay—their mortgages, their tuition payments, their car notes.” And, though a small inconvenience in contrast to the programs listed above, all national parks, Smithsonian museums, and certain visitor’s centers, such as the Statue of Liberty, will be closed. The Chamber of Commerce, typically a Republican ally, wrote in a letter to Congress: “It is not in the best interest of the U.S. business community or the American people to risk even a brief government shutdown that might trigger disruptive consequences or raise new policy uncertainties washing over the U.S. economy.” It’s hard to quantify exactly what the cost might be for the country, but Monday’s dropping stock prices already indicate
from a lack of health care. Priorities, people. As the government shutdown dust is beginning to settle, what are the actual facts of health care today? A monstrosity of a bill was passed through both houses of our then-Democrat-run and notoriously incompetent Congress. Essentially, those voting on Obamacare had little knowledge of what was between its hulking bindings, other than that it contained socialized medicine. This new law of the land has some very serious problems. The potential for fraud within the new health care system is perhaps even bigger than the law itself. How much a person pays for his or her level of health insurance is relative to his or her income. And yet, the Obamacare system doesn’t conduct background checks to validate what
applicants for health care claim as their yearly income. Does anyone besides Ted Cruz see how that could possibly go wrong? This lack of verification for financial claims doesn’t end simply at income quoted, but continues on, leading to subsidies fraud, as well as outrageously and unjustly high deductibles for some. These are only a few of the reasons Obama granted some large corporations a year delay before they are mandated to join the middle class in the disaster euphemistically called Obamacare. This raises the question: Why isn’t a provision made that would allow all Americans to wait and see how the Obamacare boat floats before jumping aboard? House Republicans sent a bill to the Senate proposing this delay for the American people. It would also have forced Congress and congressional workers to pay
uncertainty within the market. Economists agree that a government shutdown will significantly impair the economy, with estimates that the lost pay from furloughed workers alone will cost the economy $1 billion per week. Mark Zandi, a prominent economist, predicts that a short shutdown will cut 0.3-percentage point off economic growth, and he warned that a shutdown that lasted a month “would likely precipitate another recession.” House Speaker John Boehner declared this week: “It’s time for the Senate to listen to the American people, just like the House has listened to the American people, and pass a one-year delay of Obamacare and a permanent repeal of the medical device tax.” What world is he living in? A poll released in September found that just 6 percent of registered voters support delaying or defunding the ACA.
We are witnessing a civil war within the Republican Party. Tea Party extremists have managed to sway many within the Republican Party to adopt tactics that are irresponsible and irrational. Yet, some conservatives recognize that these tactics will not be successful. Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) joined the growing number of Republicans urging their colleagues to stop holding the country hostage when he said of the House GOP’s tactics: “There isn’t anybody that thinks that Obamacare is going to get defunded. It cannot happen… We were elected to govern—you don’t govern by shutting down the government.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

about the masses of people who can’t sign up because of glitches in the system, and doctors quitting out of frustration with the sheer impossibility of their new workload would have been a reality across the country. See the same Cleveland Clinic praised by Obama in the first 2012 presidential debate as “(providing) great care cheaper than average,” being forced to shave $300 million off its budget to account for Obamacare costs. The GOP insisted on standing up and fighting, instead of standing back and letting its point prove itself. Instead of watching the wheels fall off the Obamacare wagon as it rumbles on down to destruction, we’ll first witness the GOP go down in flames.

the full Obamacare cost without the deal-sweetening subsidies they have been given. Democrats 54-46 voted down the bill, knowing the government would shut down if the bill didn’t pass. But don’t lose sight of how unreasonable those Republicans are being, right? Republicans are fighting Obamacare through government shutdown to the death. Their death. The law as it stands is a maze of conflict and overregulation doomed to fail on its own, if they could have just let it. A strategic approach would have been to let the American people have what they wanted when they re-elected Obama in November. Obamacare, complete with its 17 amendments made after its ratification as a law (Obama is such a clever minx, isn’t he?), would have been plastered all over the news. Headlines

Board of Aldermen discuss new city parking garage By Thomas Graning dmeditor@gmail.com
A panel’s recommendation to build a new parking garage behind Oxford City Hall drew opposition from a local property owner at last night’s Oxford Board of Aldermen meeting. David Hill, owner of a condominium located at the proposed garage site, urged Oxford Board of Aldermen members to consider an alternative site during Tuesday’s meeting. “You have an alternative to affecting the condominium owners,” Hill said. “The alternative that you have is, in my opinion, good governance because it is getting more
parking in another place for a whole lot less money.” The Downtown Parking Advisory Commission’s recommendation to construct the new garage behind City Hall calls for the city to take control of the space occupied by two condominiums, an action that Hill opposes. If the city demolishes the two condominiums, it can build a $7.2 million garage with 479 parking spots. The city also has the option to build a garage on this piece of land behind city hall without demolishing the condominiums. In this case it would build a $6.1 million garage that offers 341 parking spots. The city has another prospective location on which it
could build a garage. According to Tom Sharpe, chairman of the parking commission, this location would put the garage behind the OxfordUniversity Club. That facility would cost the city $6.7 million for 537 spaces or $7.9 million for 718 spaces. “We looked at the advantages and disadvantages of both sites,” Sharpe said. “The cost per parking space is less behind the Oxford-University Club.” But that location also has serious problems, according to Sharpe. “There are significant problems with access to and egress from that site,” he said. “We were concerned with the traffic flow.”
Sharpe also said the board has the option of adding a pedestrian walkway from the proposed garage behind city hall to the Square. “The cost estimate for that is an additional $800,000,” Sharpe said. “So the cost would be roughly $8 million for a parking garage that size. That does not include the cost of acquiring the land to expand out.” Hill argued that the second site would still be a better option for the city. “The first alternative (to the city hall location) is a site behind the (Oxford-University Club),” Hill said. “It gives you 537 spaces for $6.7 million. You don’t need to go any bigger than that because it is
more parking than you will get behind city hall with the alternative of taking my property.” Hill said that with the addition of the walkway, attorney fees and the cost of the property to be purchased, the city would spend closer to $10 million on the project. “If you can get a parking garage that satisfies your needs for $6.7 million, then why would you spend our money to get less parking for $3 million more?” Hill asked the board. Mayor Pat Patterson emphasized that the discussion was not over. “No final decision or recommendation has been made as to whether we do or do not acquire that land,” Patterson said.

style of play. “We do a lot of fast-tempo stuff,” Wommack said. “It will certainly help us. There are all different kinds of tempos though, and they can catch you sleeping, so you have to pay attention the whole time.” Auburn will be led by junior quarterback Nick Marshall, who is in his first year of action for the Tigers after playing in junior college. On the year he is 60-for-103 with four touchdowns and four interceptions through the air, but he is also dangerous on the ground with 191 yards on 41 carries. “I watched the first game and thought, ‘Man, this guy can’t throw a lick,’” Wommack said. “But then they played Ar-
kansas State and you could see improvement, and then they played Mississippi State and you saw a lot of improvement. “I think he is doing a really good job for the amount of time he’s been in that scheme, and again, they run a lot of offense.” Perhaps the most dangerous weapon for the Tigers will be junior running back Tre Mason. The former highly touted recruit from Florida leads Auburn in rushing this season with 344 yards on 65 carries and also has a team-high four rushing touchdowns. He has also added five catches out of the backfield for 38 yards. “I think he is strong,” Wommack said of Mason. “He’s not really tall and is kind of hard to find sometimes, but he plays with a passion, he is a tough guy. I think their whole trio of
backs is absolutely one of their strengths.” Injury Updates Junior defensive end C.J. Johnson injured his ankle during the game this past weekend, and he did not practice Tuesday and is in a boot. Freeze said Johnson feels OK but listed him as “day-to-day.” Freeze said sophomore linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche “feels better” after returning to action against Alabama this weekend for the first time since tearing his meniscus in the season opener. Nkemdiche played in 26 snaps against the Crimson Tide and has had no swelling in his knee, according to Freeze. Robert Nkemdiche broke his finger against Alabama, but Freeze said it didn’t look like it slowed the freshman defensive end down in practice.

Jarvis Summers and LaDarius White to take on bigger roles. “Their position changes tremendously as it relates to what is demanded of them,” Kennedy said of the two guards. Last season, the two did not equal Henderson’s point production, as Summers averaged 9.1 points per games, while White added another 6.4. Their efficiency will have to rise early in the season, as they combined to shoot 13.4 shots per game, nearly what Henderson shot himself. Also, Kennedy expects sophomore Anthony Perez to make a big leap this season. “More so than anybody in the program, people will be amazed at his progression,” Kennedy said. Perez averaged under seven minutes and two points per game last season. He wasn’t consistently in the rotation until forwards Aaron Jones and Demarco Cox suffered injuries causing them to miss the remainder of the season. This forced Perez, who is six-foot-nine, to play out of position in the post, which affected his efficiency. Moving back to the wing position, Perez should be more com-
fortable and could play his way into the rotation when Henderson is out. “Here’s a guy that’s got tremendous physical ability,” Kennedy said. “That’ll show pretty early most especially in lieu of Marshall’s absence.” Sophomore guard Derrick Millinghaus may see an increase in playing time. Millinghaus was third on the team in points per minute played, but was stuck behind Jarvis Summers, the starter at point guard. Ole Miss may need his willingness to shoot, as he was second to only Henderson in field goals attempted per minute played. While it is not clear how many games Henderson will miss, he could potentially be sidelined for the Barclays Classic, where Ole Miss will face Georgia Tech and either Penn State or St. John’s. Those will be games five and six of the season and the first games against teams from power conferences. If his suspension drags out longer, games seven and eight are at Kansas State and home against Oregon, the two big games on the nonconference schedule for Ole Miss.

No. 24 Ole Miss will travel to Auburn this weekend in a Southeastern Conference clash, but what it will see from Auburn (3-1, 1-1 SEC) offensively could seem eerily familiar to what Ole Miss (3-1, 1-1 SEC) will be bringing to the table. The Tigers are also a zone read-based team, and this could prove to be beneficial for the Rebels in their
preparation for the game. “They just keep building it and building it each game,” Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said of Auburn’s offense. “So there is more that is getting put in. I think (head coach) Gus (Malzahn) does a great job with the offense, just like (Ole Miss head coach) Hugh (Freeze). They are close and there are a lot of things similar, but there
is enough things that are different that you have to spend time with the scout team too.” Auburn also attempts to push the limits as far as tempo goes in-game, which is similar to what Ole Miss attempts to do offensively. Wommack said this will definitely give the Rebels a step up in preparing for them, especially being able to practice against their own up-tempo See PREPARES, PAGE 5
The Ole Miss men’s basketball team started practice this past Friday, and senior guard Marshall Henderson was in full participation. He will miss some games when the season rolls around, but the specific number of games has not been identified yet. The Rebels will need to replace Henderson’s Southeastern Conference-leading 20.1 points per games as he was suspended this offseason for a violation of team rules. “He’s completely aware of the predicament he’s put us in,” Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy said. “But he’s owned it.” According to Kennedy, Hen-
derson has met all of the requirements the administration set for him. Because of that, Henderson has not missed and will not miss any practice time. His suspension will be served once games begin. The Ole Miss offense was centered around Henderson last season, as he posted the highest usage rate, 30.1 percent, on the team. The signature play of the 2012-13 season was Henderson running off of multiple baseline screens in order to get an open three, which led to him launching 15.3 field goals and 6.5 threes per game. All of that will have to be replaced. From the guard spot, Kennedy will rely on juniors See HENDERSON, PAGE 5
