After an hour delay, the University of Mississippi Associated Student Body announced the results of Tuesday’s personality elections on the steps of the Lyceum. The definitive results of the Miss Ole Miss election, however, were withheld.

ASB Attorney General Kelly Savage said the results of the 2014-2015 Miss Ole Miss race have been affected by a violation filed against one of the candidates.

In the coming days, she and the ASB elections review board will hold a violation hearing, giving the accused candidate the opportunity to defend herself before they announce any further results. After the hearing, the board will vote by simple majority on whether a violation was committed or not.

“Nobody has been disqualified as of now,” Savage explained.

“However, the violation hearing could lead to potential disqualification.”

New columbarium to provide alternative burial options CLANCY SMITH

clsmith3@go.olemiss.edu

As cremations become more popular, columbarium use is on the rise, and the city of Oxford is staying abreast of the times by constructing one of the trendy buildings in Saint Peter’s cemetery.

The city columbarium will bring the number of niches in Oxford to 932.

The Oxford mayor’s office has already received phone calls from city residents requesting either a spot for themselves or for their loved ones. Calls such as these have become more and more frequent as news of the new columbarium, a building with niches for funeral urns to be stored, has spread.

“It’s something that people were asking for and it’s a service provided by the city of Oxford,” Mayor Pat Patterson said. “We’re trying to serve the needs of the community.”

Saint Peter’s Cemetery has no more available space and a

newer section of adjacent land called the Oxford Memorial Cemetery contains only 150 more desirable lots for 300 additional people. This increases the need for a columbarium, which would provide room for 800 niches, each of which could hold two people.

The columbarium, a three-sided above-ground structure, will be situated on the small amount of space left in the center of the Saint Peter’s Cemetery located in the Jefferson Madison Historic District of Oxford.

“We came up with the design and I think it met the needs of the mayor, who’s interested in providing as many niches as we can that also has an attractive design and is respectful,” said Katrina Hourin, assistant city planner.

After working for two years from May 2012 to early 2014 to gain the approval of the Historic Preservation Commission, the city has made some headway in the creation of the new columbarium. Pub-

Wild Rebel pride

pjrafati@go.olemiss.edu

As most people know, Ole Miss upset top-ranked Alabama Saturday for what was one of the biggest wins in school history.

As the clock wound down, cheering from elated fans deafened the tightly packed Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

As the game ended, a roaring crowd stormed the field in celebration of the priceless win.

What ensued was a crazy, dangerous and spirited jubilee of Ole Miss fans. Students surrounded the players and brought quarterback Bo Wallace atop their shoulders in triumph.

What made even bigger news than students storming the field was the tearing down of the goal posts by students, which resulted in them being taken out of the stadium and THE DAILY

even paraded around Oxford with a cheerful police escort.

I imagine the police knew they wouldn’t be able to control a crowd as rowdy and enthusiastic as one that just witnessed one of the most impressive wins in the school’s history.

The huge post was eventually carried to a student’s apartment, with rumors that it’ll be sliced and diced for people to keep as Ole Miss athletic memorabilia.

Unfortunately, the university was charged a $50,000 fine for people storming the field. The uprooting of the posts upset many; more critical commenters speak of the possibility of injury as well as destruction of university property.

It is understandable why people would be concerned about injuries when a huge goal post came down on a sea

of people, but, while nobody was seriously harmed, the risk was still a huge concern for many.

But, while some are upset over the rushing of the field and dismantling of goal posts, I found the celebration exciting and memorable. Ole Miss rarely has a season such as this in which they go undefeated through the first five games.

In fact, the last time this happened was during the Kennedy presidency.

I wouldn’t say the celebration was exactly safe, but when our school beats a topranked team, especially one that inspires so much passion as the Crimson Tide, it is expected that things are going to get wild.

Students who took the goal post cut it into pieces and are distributing it amongst other students. I think it’s a great

idea to share the wealth with some of the student body.

Having a piece of the post is like having a tangible piece of one of the craziest games in Ole Miss history.

It was an amazing win for the Ole Miss football team, but it was also a significant moment in our school’s pride.

Never did I imagine that I’d be able to witness a game with such considerable impact that Ole Miss would be propelled to one of the top three teams in the country.

The storming of the field and razing of the goal pasts were only a sign of school pride and an emotional celebration of a well-deserved win.

continued from page 1 small amount space.

St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 403 University Avenue, completed its own columbarium a month ago and has had its first burial. The building is located on the west side of the church facing east.

Since there is no Catholic cemetery located in Oxford, the columbarium is the first opportunity local members of the Catholic faith have the chance to be laid to rest on hallowed ground in this area. Moving remains from a columbarium is an easy process as well, in case of relocation of family members.

“The good thing about a columbarium in this town is that a lot of people are transient,” said Rev. Joe Tonos, pastor of St. John’s. “If someone is living in Oxford and dies and their remains are put here and their kids decide they don’t want to be here anymore they can easily take their parent’s remains and put them in a columbarium closer to them.”

The fee to reserve a single niche in the St. John columbarium is $2,500, which does not include the cost of cremation. The money will go back into a marked fund used for maintenance of the facility.

“Ours will be equal to what the city is charging, at least that’s what we’ve estimated until they come up with a price,” Tonos said.

The Catholic Church columbarium, with 72 niches, is the most recent addition to such buildings in Oxford, including one at First Presbyterian Church with 36 niches and one at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church with 24 niches holding four people each. Each church has a plan for expansion when current spaces have been filled.

The various facilities provide people with a range of options concerning where

they would like to be laid to rest.

Even The University of Mississippi considered constructing a columbarium on campus after alumni showed interest in having their remains become a part of Ole Miss. The “Columbarium Q&A” page of First Presbyterian Church’s website also the university will have a columbarium in the near future.

For now, however, the university has decided to forgo the project.

“We interviewed other schools, we talked to other people in the business, and we did all of our homework looking into it, but at the end of the day we’ve decided not to pursue it,” said Clay Cavett, associate director of the Ole Miss Alumni Association.

That decision may change at some point in the distant future.

“I’m not going to say never, but I think it’s a moot point for the next five years at least,” Cavett said. “We may revisit it.”

MISS OLE MISS

continued from page 1 She said as soon as a decision is made, the Miss Ole Miss elections results would be published to the ASB Twitter account.

The university’s 2014-15 Mr. Ole Miss will be decided in a runoff election Thursday featuring Rob Barber, who received 2,304 votes, or 38.61 percent, and Luke Love who received 1,997 votes, or 33.45 percent.

Murray Miller of Jackson was announced as the 2014-15 Homecoming Queen and received 4,140 votes, or 74.06 percent.

Earlier this week, Miller’s campaign team filed a violation against themselves for breaching a rule stated in the ASB Constitution and Code.

Last weekend a friend of Miller’s mother brought 16 iced cookies reading “Murray for Queen” to a tailgate in the Grove.

The violated clause states no candidate or his or her representatives shall offer food or free giveaways as part of the campaigning process. Any violation of this subsection shall serve as a

major violation and grounds for possible disqualification.

Miller classified the cookies as a surprise donation, and said she had no intention of passing them out as a part of her campaign.

Despite committing a major violation that could have potentially constituted disqualification, the ASB elections review board unanimously voted to issue her a $150 fine.

The 2014 maid elects include freshman Faith Fogarty with 636 votes, or 31.4 percent, sophomore Elizabeth Pyron with 262 votes, or 19.72 percent, junior Alli Bridgers with 217 votes, or 18.06 percent and senior Catherine Holman with 334 vote, or 32.27 percent.

Male campus favorites include Carter Barnett, Stephan Castellanos, David Dye, Ryan Schmelz and William Wildman. Female campus favorites include Mary Kate Berger, Britt Buchanan, Catherine Holman, Emily Wikle and Allie Winters.

‘Heart of the Music’ performance at Ford Center tonight TORI WILSON

vrwilson@go.olemiss.edu

The Ford Center has always attracted fantastic performances and personalities, and the latest in a long list of acts will grace its stage tonight.

“The Heart behind the Music” is a national touring production featuring singers and songwriters who have garnered fame and acclaim in the country music business — and now they come together to speak to audiences about their artistic experiences and work.

“The show was put together by a man called Jack Landham,” said Kate Meacham, marketing director for the Ford Center. “These (artists) were chosen because they write and perform their own songs.”

The show features Teddy Gentry, Billy Dean, Deana Carter and Lenny LeBlanc, who use their time on the stage to tell the story of their careers.

“I am personally looking forward to being on stage with my friends,” LeBlanc added. “The Heart behind the Music is a great opportunity for songwriters like myself to share our craft with the audience.”

Though the show’s featured artists came to the country music scene many years ago, they all continue to write and perform regularly. Deana Carter has just released her sixth studio album and Lenny LeBlanc writes for pop and country singers as well as himself. “The Heart behind the Music” will feature hits from each singer’s career, and the artists will talk about their inspirations and unique writing styles. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Ford Center.

Lunch and a book with Santo at Off-Square Books CLANCY SMITH

clsmith3@go.olemiss.edu

Off-Square Books is providing residents of Oxford with the opportunity to take a mid-day break and join author Courtney Miller Santo for a brown bag luncheon today at noon.

Lunch will be provided from Oxford Canteen, a recent addition to the Square located in the alley between the Lyric and South Depot Taco Shop, for $10 to attendees who preregistered with Square Books. Guests who do not wish to eat are welcome at no expense.

“Our mission is to promote books and serve the community,” said Richard Howorth, owner of Square Books. “That’s all we’re trying to do, and we have to opportunity to bring in a lot of writers that people are interested for various reasons.”

Luncheons such as these be-

gan when the café on the second floor of Square Books opened in 1986, but there was little success due to problems with location and space. However, high levels of interest in visiting Oxford from authors have demanded that the store give luncheons another try.

“Recently we’ve revived it more out of necessity than anything,” Howorth said.

Howorth said not every author is suitable for the lunchtime crowd, but Courtney Miller Santo seemed like a comfortable fit for the event.

Santo is a native of Oregon but now lives with her family in Memphis, which serves as the inspiration for the book she will be promoting. While this is only her second time as a guest author at Square Books, Santo said Oxford is her favorite road trip.

“Square Books showed me such terrific hospitality when

I came down to read from my first book and I’m excited about being able to return to promote ‘Three Story House,’” Santo said.

The book centers around three cousins who come together to renovate a historic Memphis house. Santo was inspired by the connections she shares with her own 29 first cousins and their bond with one another.

“The relationship I have with them is fascinating and complex and fun as hell, but I had read hardly any fiction that focused on the cousin relationship,” Santo said. “I knew I wanted to explore that with this book.”

In addition to the familiarity of Memphis and Oxford, Santo loves to visit new places and experience new things.

“I always say that I’ll never have a huge house, a nice car or a fully vested retirement because I spend every penny I can

on travel,” Santo said.

Santo will speak for approximately 20 minutes about her book and then take questions from the audience while guests enjoy their lunch from Oxford Canteen.

Oxford Canteen is excited about the opportunity to partner with Square Books for the luncheon and gain more exposure in Oxford.

“I don’t know how much it helps, but if we got one more customer from it, then that’s definitely a bonus,” Chef Corbin

Evans said.

Usually 20 to 25 people attend luncheons hosted by Square Books, but Howorth hopes that number continues to increase as Oxford residents begin to recognize the value of these experiences.

“For a lot of people, this luncheon is a break in the middle of the day when they can come and listen and talk, and it’s more interesting than sitting in your office,” Howorth said. “It’s an easy way for us to carry out our mission.”

SEC Football Power Poll

IN THIS SEC POWER POLL, THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN’S SPORTS EDITOR DYLAN RUBINO RANKS 14 SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS.

1.

AUBURN

2.

ALABAMA

With most of the ranked teams ahead of them falling, Auburn made a strong statement Saturday in a 41-7 blowout win at home against LSU. Quarterback Nick Marshall proved he’s capable of dominating with his arm along with his feet. It doesn’t get easier for the Tigers as they travel to Starkville to play Mississippi State in an SEC West showdown.

4.

A loss was a possibility for Alabama in their schedule, but Crimson Tide fans never expected it would be to Ole Miss. Turnovers were the deciding factor in their loss to Ole Miss as Alabama made crucial turnovers late in the game. Another tough game looms as they travel to Arkansas Saturday.

OLE MISS

5.

GEORGIA

The Bulldogs remain at the top in a weak SEC East and had no problems against Vanderbilt Saturday, winning 44-17. Running back Todd Gurley seems to be unstoppable. Georgia travels to Columbia to play 23rd-ranked Missouri Saturday afternoon.

The magnificent Saturday for the Magnolia State was capped off by the Rebels, as they upset former 3rd-ranked Alabama at home 23-17. Quarterback Bo Wallace was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week with his three touchdown passes, two of them in the fourth quarter. The defense only gave up three points in the second half, continuing their impressive stretch over the course of the season. Ole Miss travels to Texas A&M Saturday.

Quarterback Kenny Hill and the Aggie offense could not do enough to keep up with Mississippi State. The problems that plagued the defense last season seem to be arising this season.

The Aggies can bounce back in a big way with a win at home against Ole Miss.

MISSISSIPPI STATE

The Bulldogs started the SEC takeover for the Magnolia State with an impressive offensive showcase, defeating then 6th-ranked Texas A&M 48-31. Quarterback Dak Prescott continues to be a Heisman candidate with his arm and legs, showing he is a complete player. The defense will need to improve against Auburn and try to limit the amount of yards gained.

bsrippee@go.olemiss.edu

Last Saturday was one of the most memorable wins in Ole Miss history. It was a day unlike any other and will forever be remembered as a program-changing day for Ole Miss fans. As much as the game meant, it is only one conference win.

This Saturday, the Rebels have another tough conference game. In a lot of ways, it may be the toughest task all season.

Any time you go on the road in this league it’s a test. Texas A&M is coming off a big loss against Mississippi State and is desperate for the opportunity

to get back into the SEC West race.

Kyle Field is one of the most hostile environments in college football and the Rebels will find themselves in the middle of 83,000 screaming fans with a lot on the line.

What’s at stake for the Rebels in this game? A lot of things can change with a win this weekend. A win this weekend and Ole Miss sits at 2-0 in conference road games with only two more road games to play.

Any win on the road in the SEC is absolutely essential.

If you are to look at the remaining SEC schedules among the contenders in the SEC West, a win would mean all

roads to the SEC Championship in Atlanta come through Oxford. Regardless of the outcome between Mississippi State and Auburn, the likely contenders in the west with a Rebel win this weekend would be Ole Miss, Auburn, Mississippi State and Alabama. What do all of these teams have in common? They all had or have to make a visit to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

A Rebel win this weekend would require the remaining undefeated and one loss teams in the West to come get a win in Oxford in order to go to Atlanta. Alabama can attest to just how difficult accomplishing that is to do.

The bye week came at the right time for Missouri, as they have an extra week off to prepare for 13th ranked Georgia coming to town. The Indiana loss three weeks ago can be erased with a win Saturday.

FLORIDA

TENNESSEE

14.

VANDERBILT

The Gators had to chomp their way to a victory, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter to defeat Tennessee 10-9. The passing game only totaled 76 yards and the offense only accumulated 232 total yards. Offense is not in the forecast when they play LSU Saturday.

KENTUCKY

Isn’t this crazy? The Wildcats are one triple-overtime game away from being 5-0 and 3-0 in conference play.

Upsetting South Carolina at home may be a program changer for Mark Stoops. Kentucky is making strides.

10.

SOUTH CAROLINA

A 3-3 record is something Steve Spurrier could not have envisioned to start the season. The popular pick to win the SEC East has given up more points than points scored. The Gamecocks will need to regroup in their bye week.

The Razorbacks competed in both of their losses, even though they lost by 24 to Auburn in the season opener.

The running game will keep Arkansas in close football games and they’ll need it to compete against Alabama and Georgia in the next two weeks.

9.

SPORTS | 8 OCTOBER 2014 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 7

Three straight losses is never a good thing. However, the Volunteers stayed competitive in their last two losses and lost both games by a combined four points. A win against Chattanooga could make things feel better in Knoxville.

LSU

What a no-show for Les Miles and the Tigers. The offense showed no life against the Auburn defense and the the LSU defense couldn’t get the crucial stop to cut momentum in the game. The offense will need to make changes if they want to beat Florida Saturday.

The Commodores remain at the bottom of the SEC totem poll.

Scoring 17 points against Georgia’s defense is a step in the right direction. Vanderbilt has no easy task Saturday as 5-0 Charleston Southern comes to Nashville.

Hilton, Bell talk preparations for Texas A&M game

The Rebels had their first practice of the week on Tuesday to prepare for their upcoming game against 14th ranked Texas A&M. One of the big questions for the game is how the team will respond after pulling off an emotional upset of Alabama the week before.

“That was a big game for us to come out and put up a victory against a team like Alabama with a great dynasty like they have,” junior guard Justin Bell said. “Mentally it gives you a lot of confidence, but the trick to that is not letting it go to your head, staying focused and getting back to work.”

Junior cornerback Mike Hilton talked about what he had seen of Texas A&M’s style of offense and the players they use to execute it.

“They’re just throwing the ball around. They have playmakers on the outside. They have a good quarterback in Kenny Hill, he’s got a strong arm,” Hilton said. “Of course they’ve got their big receivers, but this year they have more speed than they usually have.”

Hilton spoke further about Hill and how he compared to the Aggies’ previous quarterback Kenny Hill.

“We knew what (Johnny) Manziel can do and Kenny

(Hill) can do the same things, but he likes to really just drop back and pass,” Hilton said.

“So that kind of gives us an advantage to run our defense and know what we have to do.”

Hilton will be playing against Hill from a different position than he played Manziel however, as he will see time at safety in lieu of junior Trae Elston, who is suspended for the first half. Hilton worked with the Rebels’ defensive coordinator to learn the position.

“I spent the whole practice there, watched film with Coach Wommack,” Hilton said. “He went through the whole gameplan with me, made sure I got it down.”

Hilton was excited to make the switch, something he’s done multiple times in his career at Ole Miss.

“Another movement, I think it’s just the trust that the coaches have in me, knowing that they can put me anywhere and I can get the job done for them,” Hilton said. “I actually like the to move to be honest.”

Hilton said freshman Kendarius Webster will see time at corner with him switching to safety. He was confident in Webster’s ability to fill the role.

“Over these past couple of games we’ve given him a lot of trust,” Hilton said. “We know what he can do and what he’s PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY

The team has also had to prepare for playing at Texas A&M’s stadium, Kyle Field, which is famed for having extremely loud fans.

“It’s going to be loud, we’re

preparing for that with practice. We have been changing our snap count up a little bit to help us out,” Bell said. “It’s more of a mental game when it comes to crowd noise. We just have to be focused and listen to our quarterback and

listen to our center.”

Hilton was ready for the challenge.

“From what I’ve heard, they say it’s the loudest in the nation. I think it’s time for a road test,” Hilton said. “It’s time to see what we really can do.”
