COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Many writers and analysts penciled this game in for Ole Miss as a let-down game on the road. The environment at College Station would be too much for the Rebels to handle, especially after the exhilarating win over then 3rd-ranked Alabama the week before. In front of a record crowd of 110,633, which was the largest in SEC history and for a football game in the state of Texas, Ole Miss came into College Station and showed no hangover from the Alabama win, defeating Texas A&M 35-20. The last time Ole Miss started 6-0 was 1962 and the 35-20 win puts the Rebels in sole possession of
third in the AP Poll. “I’m really pleased to come into Texas A&M, a very hostile environment, and I thought our kids handled it very well,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “They handled the preparation all week long very well. To come out here with a victory in this difficult environment against a very difficult, talented team is very exciting for our program and our fans.” The fast start on offense for Ole Miss is what seemed to put the game out of reach. On the second drive of the game for the Rebels, senior quarterback Bo Wallace ran it in from 4 yards out to put Ole Miss up 7-0 early. Wallace would add a second touchdown run late in the first quarter to make it 14-0. The quick start for Ole Miss was very important to put the game away early in a hostile environment. “I felt like the first part of the game helped us set
the tone and helped us handle the environment better,” Freeze said. “We had a good plan to start with, and they made some adjustments that hurt us. I was scared to death to throw it in the second half because we felt like we had it in hand.” Wallace was not forced to throw the ball a lot this game, in which he only completed 13 of 19 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown. Wallace was more affective as a runner where he was the leading rusher in the game, carrying the ball 14 times for 50 yards and two scores. Texas A&M outgained Ole Miss 455 to 338 in total yards on offense. One of the key differences in the game was the running game, where the Rebels ran for 160 yards total and the defense holding the

J.D. Williams Library tinting windows for sustainability CHANING GREEN

The J.D. Williams Library officially opened in 1952, and the original windows are still in their frames today. However, thanks to the UM Green Fund, those windows are now more eco-friendly. Buffy Choinski, the head of the university’s science li-
brary, said she and a “Green Team” had the idea to put a special kind of window tinting known as low-emissivity film or low-e film all of the library’s original windows. Choinski and the Green Team purposed the idea to the UM Green Fund in January and in July the entire south side of the library had its windows coated in the special tinting.
The tinting was first used in 2013 on the large window that’s facing the Lyceum in order to block out the UV rays and protect the documents displayed in the foyer of the third floor. When people realized that area of the library had become noticeably cooler, it only made sense to apply more of this low-e film to more windows. “We’re eventually hoping
to submit a proposal in the spring to have the windows on the entire east side of the library covered as well,” Choinski said. Choinski said that in addition to lower cooling costs for the library, many of the documents will be protected and preserved longer due to the fact that they are no longer being exposed to harmful UV rays.
Mike Ferguson, who works within the J.D. Williams library at the reference desk, said he believes UM does a great job of protecting its precious documents and welcomes any new methods they have to preserve the collection. “The sources we have here are not easy to come by,” Fer-
