Thompson discusses diversity at Overby

United States Rep. Bennie Thompson, a native of Bolton, Mississippi, spoke to students and faculty Tuesday in the about growing up aware of the injustices that plagued the South Tuesday in the Overby Center. Thompson described his early schooling as “separate and unequal” but expressed college as a wonderful experience. “In college, I met Martin Luther King Jr., Stokely Carmichael, everybody you can imagine who were part of the civil rights movement at the time,” Thompson said. Thompson is the congressman for the second district and is the second black man in modern times to represent Mississippi. He is a past chairman and now, a ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee. Thompson is a key figure in conversa-

tions including ISIS/ISIL and Ebola, among others. Chancellor Dan Jones introduced Thompson as both his friend and advisor and said he is notorious for representing people from different backgrounds. “Congressman Thompson is, for this state and for our country, a large voice for the voiceless; he has been committed to justice for those who have suffered injustice,” Jones said. Marvin King, political science professor, said his class came to the congressman’s speech because he wanted his class to hear about the relationship between federal and state government. “This is what congressmen do when they are home or visiting their home district nearby, and I think he did great,” King said. Meredith Bro, junior political science major, enjoyed the

The Associated Student Body Senate unanimously passed an executive bill confirming the allocations of Ole Miss student organizations Tuesday night. After the annual budget was approved, ASB received a total of $63,817 in annual allocations – $59,815 was appropriated to 82 student organizations for the fall leaving $4,002 for the spring. In order to receive funds from ASB, organization leaders must fill out an application for their request and set up an interview with the appropriations committee. Every organization that met with the committee received funds from ASB this year. ASB Treasurer Madison White explained the process of how much money is given to each organization. “We decide how much money each organization gets based on how much money they spent last year, how many people are in the organization, where else they are getting funds from and how they want to spend the money we give them,” White said. Some organizations, such as the Ole Miss Ambassadors, had a decrease in amount they were given to spend from ASB this year. “We have over 300 organizations and only a limited amount of money to give out,” senator Pearce Crosland said. “There are bigger organizations that have more things planned. It’s just unfortunate that the ambassadors was one of them.” The senate also passed a resolution congratulating the Ole Miss football team for its best start since 1962. After being ranked first in the SEC tied with Mississippi State and third in the country, the team

Ebola: American crisis? PARSA RAFATIAN

pjrafati@go.olemiss.edu

Many students including myself have heard of this epidemic called Ebola but are oblivious to information concerning its causation, infection, symptoms and other attributes. Ebola began its most recent outbreak in West Africa in 2013. The disease was spread by travelers who crossed borders from Guinea to Liberia and then Sierra Leone. Unfortunately, Ebola has made its way to the United States, but it is being contained as much as possible. Currently, we are nowhere near the turmoil that is taking place in Africa, but how long that will last remains to be seen. Africa is experiencing about 13 deaths per day because of Ebola, its number of victims having accelerated from four a day. However, the number of infections this year is in the thousands with the most being four thousand in Liberia. THE DAILY

Ebola still is a minuscule cause of death in Africa compared to Malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, which continue to kill hundreds every day. The reason the infection is spreading throughout Africa at such an alarming rate compared to the U.S. is its lack of healthcare facilities. In addition, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are among the poorest countries in the world with their healthcare facilities receiving some of the least government regulation. The U.S. has 245 doctors for every 100,000 people whereas Guinea only has one. We are fortunate enough to have the proper medical attention surrounding patients who have symptoms of Ebola. The most frightening aspect of Ebola is our struggle and inability to contain it. While many doctors assumed an Ebola outbreak could always be managed. It is looking to be harder than they originally thought. The disease is hard for peo-

ple to catch, and it’s only contagious when people start to show symptoms such as abrupt fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, which progresses to diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Scientists are working continuously to create a licensed treatment or vaccine to combat the outbreak, but until that happens, the disease is only going to continue spreading in Africa, as well as other countries. There has been the alarming news that a nurse at the Texas hospital where Thomas Duncan was being treated for the disease has contracted Ebola. She is the first person to contract Ebola within the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now reviewing procedures and infection control at hospitals caring for Ebola patients. While many Americans are understandably worried, the worst thing people can do is panic. Many politicians want to cut off visas from West Africa

until the Ebola virus is controlled. While this is a hefty precautionary measure, it may be a necessary one to keep the epidemic from spreading overseas more than it already has. Hopefully, our doctors will be able to give a faster and accurate diagnosis of the disease because the most efficient way to contain the outbreak until an official treatment is found is to give proper diagnosis before a person may become contagious. Unfortunately, medical policies have encouraged centralized testing of many dangerous viruses, so very few cities can actually test for Ebola locally. Maybe doctors will change this policy if Ebola continues to infect people in the U.S. I do not see Ebola becoming anything similar to “Contagion” in the U.S. as long as the public is informed of its symptoms and if our doctors can give a timely diagnosis.

topics Thompson discussed during his speech, especially when he talked about how important politics is for people in the state. “The congressman did a really great job speaking about his view and sharing his unbiased opinion about various subjects in politics,” Bro said. “It was really inspiring to hear him speak and definitely see the progress made in Mississippi, not only for its politics but for its people.” Thompson discussed how he discovered his town had not participated in voter registration, so he joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and helped organize voter registration drives for African-Americans in the Mississippi Delta. Thompson talked about his struggle in graduate school due to a lack of facilities and how he would have to study in the library of a neighboring private school. Thompson believes the best thing about this country is our ability to be different and working towards bettering situations. “Public service requires commitment, stamina and dedication, and I have tried to do that during my lifetime,” he said. “I love being in congress because I love demonstrating to people from up north and out west that southerners can walk and chew gum at the same time.” Thompson has pride in our country and pledged to make sure there is always opportunity to better ourselves and the country. “I will work as hard as I can as member of Congress, and I want you to do the same thing as long as you will be in this country to make it the best that it can be,” he said. “There are differences. There are shortcomings, but we have to work on making it better, and I pledge to you to continue to do that.”

The football team will receive the resolution signed by Chancellor Dan Jones acknowledging their success and indicating the school is behind them in their fight towards victory. “It’s important that we are getting to represent the student body and congratulate the football team; they have been really successful thus far, and we felt a need to recognize that,” Chairman of Athletics Matt Froelich said. ASB elected sophomore broadcast journalism major Danielle Randall as the ASB’s new director of public and press relations. Her position focuses on maximizing press coverage for senate and involving more representatives from the DM, Newswatch and

Randall explained her new position will help keep the student body informed about what decisions are being made by ASB. “I think it’s important that the student body knows what is going on in senate, and with this position, I want to make sure they are informed,” Randall said. “They elected these representatives, so they should know what bills are being passed because it helps them stay involved and active within the university.”

SPECIAL TO THE DM

Ole Miss students express concern on living conditions BARRETT ERVIN

ebervin@go.olemiss.edu

Freshmen every year struggle with the conditions of the residence halls at Ole Miss. Many consider the dorms outof-date and in need of renovation. According to Stockard resident Trey Oates, some of these incidents even have him concerned about his health. “Living in the dorm is not ideal for my health because I tend to get sick all of the time,” Oates said. “The air vents aren’t clean. They are blowing out dust. One out of three elevators work a week, and we do not have trashcans on our floors, which causes bugs and smells all throughout the building.” In three of the main freshman dorms, Martin, Crosby and Stockard, students complain about washers and dryers being broken, which cost $1.25 per load on every machine. There is also the inconvenience of having to find quarters to pay to clean their clothes because the Ole Miss Express card machines are not working. “The washers and dryers eat my money and very few of them start,” Martin resident Allison Turbeville said. “Over half of them do not work when I go to wash my clothes.

cleaned.” “Last week, I put my clothes in the dryer for 60 minutes; when I came back my clothes were still wet,” Stockard resident Fletcher Malloy said. “The hot air in the dryer was not working, so I had to find quarters to put my stuff in a different dryer and wait another hour for them to finish.” Students complain about the conditions of Crosby, Kincannon and Stewart the most – overflowing trashcans, ants and a lack of hot water, to name just a few problems. Freshman Claudia Monfort has been living in Crosby and has had two incidents of ants invading her room. Her roommate, Meredith Keefer, said the trashcans outside of Crosby are “always overflowing.” “We have had 2,000 ants in our room, so we moved our beds into one of our friends rooms for two nights,” Montfort said. “We called the maintenance men, and they did not come for about four to five days to spray, so we had to buy bug spray to get rid of them ourselves, and now, there are dead ants everywhere.” Patrick Myers, a resident of Kincannon, is not happy with the condition of the building. “I live in Kincannon on the fifth floor and the hot water does not work on some days,” Myers said. “There are five showers and only two showers have doors.” The Housing Department at

Ole Miss wants to address the issues and what students need to do if they have complaints or problems with their dorm room. According to Jennifer McClure, assistant director for marketing, the Housing Department wants students to have a good experience living in the dorms and encourages their feedback. “When a student has a concern about our facilities, we ask them to go to our website and complete a maintenance request,” McClure said. “They just give some basic information, tell about the problem and that will immediately go into our maintenance database, and as soon as someone is available, they will see about the situation and do what they can to help.” McClure said that this process will also keep the students updated via email on when the work order has been looked at and when it has been completed. “Our mission is to provide secure, supportive and comfortable communities designed to contribute to the personal and academic growth of each residential student, and with that, we take very seriously our student’s experiences living with us — the good and the bad,” McClure said. “We encourage their feedback, and we really want living on campus to enhance their collegiate experiences.”

Anja Harteros, center, as Countess Almaviva, and Dorothea Roschmann, left, perform during a dress rehearsal of Mozart’s opera “Marriage of Figaro” at the Metropolitan Opera in 2003, in New York. The opera will be performed in New York and broadcast at the Malco Oxford Commons Oct. 18. chooses operas for its HD season that are popular and entertaining to attract a wide range of attendees. This season opened Saturday with a broadcast of Verdi’s “Macbeth.” Though the crowd was small, only fifteen to twenty people, the audience was no less enthusiastic because of its size. People applauded when the conductor entered the orchestra pit, whistled appreciation when soprano Anna Netrebko com-

pleted the “mad scene” aria of Lady Macbeth and laughed congenially at the backstage antics of the singers during interviews, who surely had to do something to alleviate the weighty grimness of the tragic opera. Ashleigh Clark, Chinese major at Ole Miss and a member of the Women’s Glee and Concert Singers choirs, attends Met broadcasts a few times a season. Her musical background contributes in part to her enjoyment

of opera, but she also credited her continued attendance with the accessibility of Met productions. “The operas are staged for modern audiences,” Clark said. “They’re compelling and current, not boring and stuffy like some people think opera is. I can get my fix for drama and hilarity with opera, and now, I can get it in a small town theater.” Indeed, the Met has presented some interesting visions of

Recycling

hough Oxford is overflowing with cultural opportunities, nothing is quite so unique as what the Oxford Commons movie theater has to offer — live broadcasts of special events, such as ballets, plays and even the occasional opera. The Metropolitan Opera in New York City began a program nine years ago to bring their productions to a larger audience; they called it The Met: Live in HD, and it brings ten live performances per season to movie theaters across the world. Karen Scott, director of marketing for Malco Theaters, said her company began offering live broadcasts like the Met’s program in response to a growing trend. “The program is very popular and draws a wide audience,” she said. “(The program) has been well received.” Opera isn’t for everyone, admittedly, but part of the object of The Met: Live in HD is to introduce audiences to the art form in a “low-risk” way. The broadcast tickets are a fraction of the cost of a live Metropolitan Opera production, but audiences can still enjoy the incredible talent of some of the world’s best opera singers in one of its most excellent opera houses. The casual atmosphere of the movie theater encourages opera-goers to relax and enjoy the performance, and the Met

classic operas. Last year saw a production of “Rigoletto” set in 1960s Las Vegas, as opposed to its original 16th century Mantua, Italy. This staging wasn’t universally popular with opera fans, but it garnered good reviews and proved opera could be new. Additionally, the Met isn’t afraid to stray from the old standards of opera — they regularly produce works by modern composers, like “Two Boys” by American composer Nico Muhly, first performed in 2011. The program does more than bring opera to the masses, however. “The ‘Live in HD’ events are enhanced by specially produced features that offer audiences a look behind the scenes,” said The Met: Live in HD’s website. “These include live interviews with singers, directors, designers and stage technicians, as well as documentaries and other short features.” Nine more operas will be shown at the Oxford Commons from now through April of next year. The next one is an absolute classic — Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro,” a comedic tale of a barber and his bride that has entertained audiences for hundreds of years. If people in 2014 can laugh at the same jokes as people in 1786, the Met must be doing something right. “The Marriage of Figaro” will show Oct. 18 at 11:55 a.m. at the Oxford Commons.

for women’s ensemble that incorporates choreography, snaps and a little bit of movement with four soloists scattered throughout the piece. Women’s ensemble, the group she works with, will perform a 21st century, modern piece. Gadd said the performance is “so different that it really blows your hair back.” Women’s glee will sing a piece with a trumpet player and a poem piece based off of “Song of Solomon.” “It’s going to be a fun time for choral music and that’s what music at Ole Miss is all about; a lot of people don’t know that we have so many choirs and so many ways to get involved,” Gadd said. “I think choral music is real open to everyone who wants to sing. All of our groups meet three days a week, and they are really hard workers and have done great this semester. I’m really proud.” The fall concert will be $10 for adults and $8 for students.

He worked with our choirs, and we gave a performance at the end of the week. The piece was about the celestial body that is the universe, and we played with water pitch filled wine glasses.” Gadd arranged a rendition of “This Little Light of Mine”

The University of Mississippi Choral Department will hold its fall concert Thursday in the North Oxford Baptist Church at 7:30 p.m. The UM Choral Department is composed of five groups and nearly 150 students total. These groups include women’s glee, men’s glee, concert singers, women’s ensemble and university chorus. Each group will perform in Thursday’s concert. “Most of the students who participate in one of the five choirs here at Ole Miss sang in their high school programs, and so they come with previous experience,” said Don Trott, main choir director and leader of concert singers and men’s glee. “What we offer here at Ole Miss is an opportunity to expand that expe-

sound technician and allows the group to rehearse a week before the concert. “The students are really good not to put us out; they are really accommodating and conscious of our space,” Sneed said. Graduate student Hannah Gadd works under Debra Spurgeon, who is in charge of women’s glee and women’s ensemble. As a graduate student, Gadd does the backstage work, conducts daily tasks, works with all of the UM choral groups and does anything and everything the conductors ask of her, so their jobs can run as smoothly as possible. Her involvement started with the choral department as a freshman biology major and she later went on to change her major to music education. She was in both the women’s glee and concert singers groups and graduated in 2013 but is able to remain in the groups as a graduate. Gadd will have the privilege of con-

SEC Football Power Poll IN THIS SEC POWER POLL, THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN’S SPORTS EDITOR DYLAN RUBINO RANKS THE 14 SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS. THE OLE MISS REBELS WILL PLAY TENNESSEE SATURDAY AT VAUGHT-HEMINGWAY. KICKOFF IS SET FOR 6 P.M.

MISSISSIPPI STATE

Three straight wins against top 10 teams ranked in the AP Poll is not only enough to be number one in my power poll but good enough to be number one in the nation, dethroning Florida State. Junior quarterback Dak Prescott looked shaky at times in the win over Auburn, but his ability to run freezes defenses at times and adds another dimension to the offense. The front seven on defense will take the Bulldogs to new heights.

GEORGIA

No Todd Gurley, no problem. True freshman running back Nick Chubb ran for 143 yards and one touchdown in the Bulldogs’ beat down of Missouri 34-0. Senior quarterback Hutson Mason was an efficient 22 for 28 passing and the defense forced five turnovers and gave up zero points. It’s tough to beat Georgia when they play like that. The SEC East is theirs to lose.

TEXAS A&M

The state of Mississippi has not treated Texas A&M well. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but any time a loss occurs on the schedule, it hurts. The offense hit a wall against the swarming Ole Miss defense and will look to get back on track against another great defense in Alabama.

11. FLORIDA

Fortune was not in favor of the Gators Saturday against LSU, where they lost by a field goal as time expired. The Gators were fortunate the week before to squeak past Tennessee. Now, we will find out where the Gators stand in a mess that is the SEC East. Missouri and Georgia are the next two opponents on the schedule.

MISSOURI

Missouri looked like deer in headlights as they ran into a brick wall that was the Georgia defense Saturday. The offense was a no-show, literally, putting up zero points and turning the ball over five times. This team looks more like the team that lost to Indiana at home than the one that beat South Carolina on the road.

OLE MISS

What hangover? The Rebels were not threatened by the 110,000-plus crowd at Kyle Field and won handily against Texas A&M on Saturday 3520. The hangover from the Alabama win was just a rumor, and the Rebels showed the poise and confidence of a team that can win the SEC. The schedule gets a little easier with Tennessee coming to Oxford Saturday. The Rebels will go as far as the defense will take them.

LSU

It came down to the wire, but LSU got a crucial win at Florida Saturday 30-27, thanks to a game-winning field goal as time expired. The Tigers dominated time of possession to get the victory, which may be the key to survival for the rest of the season. LSU returns home this weekend to face an improving Kentucky team.

4. AUBURN

Head coach Gus Malzahn is a great offensive mind and play-caller, but he didn’t look like one in their loss to Mississippi State. Many risky calls and blunders cost the Tigers a crucial win on their schedule. Senior quarterback Nick Marshall proved to be ineffective as a passer, and that could hold the defending conference champs back at a chance of repeating.

ALABAMA

A win is a win, but the 14-13 win over Arkansas is not something head coach Nick Saban or Alabama fans should be proud of. The offense looked inconsistent, and the play of the special teams continues to be a disaster. The Crimson Tide offense was outgained by the Arkansas offense by more than 100 yards. It doesn’t get easier for Alabama, as Texas A&M comes to Tuscaloosa Saturday afternoon.

KENTUCKY

The 5-1 Kentucky Wildcats, that’s right, the 5-1 Kentucky Wildcats, are in second place in the SEC East behind Georgia. The Wildcats handled business at home against UL Monroe Saturday 48-14. We’ll find out a lot about this team in the next two weeks as they travel to LSU this weekend and then host Mississippi State.

The past two games may have resulted in losses, but the Razorbacks put up strong fights against both Alabama and Texas A&M, losing both games by a combined eight points. Arkansas is 0-3 in SEC play, but there is enough talent on the Razorback roster to compete the rest of the season. Georgia travels to Fayetteville this weekend.

13.

SOUTH CAROLINA

The bye week came at the perfect time for South Carolina. Head coach Steve Spurrier and his squad needed to regroup after losing two straight games to SEC East opponents. South Carolina gets Furman at home for homecoming, then travel to Auburn.

14. TENNESSEE

Losing by a combined four points to Georgia and Florida shows that this Tennessee team can compete with the big boys of the SEC. A 35-point win over Chattanooga helps build confidence going into their showdown at Ole Miss.

VANDERBILT

Another week, another last place finish in my SEC power poll. The Commodores got outgained by almost 100 yards as they squeaked by Charleston Southern 21-20. Vanderbilt has a bye week before traveling to Missouri with an opportunity to pick up their first SEC win of the season.

Players reflect on season, preview Tennessee game CODY THOMASON

csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu

When sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and sophomore offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil signed with Ole Miss and became part of the famed 2013 recruiting class, they were making a huge leap of faith. Both five-star prospects, they could’ve gone to a more established program but instead chose to join the rebuilding Rebels, who were entering their second year under new head coach Hugh Freeze and coming off a surprising 7-6 season. Now, with Treadwell and Tunsil midway through their sophomore season, the team is 6-0 and coming off wins against Alabama and Texas A&M in the last two weeks. Tunsil said this season has helped validate his decision to attend Ole Miss. “I feel like it has, being number three in the nation,” Tunsil said. “I told everybody we were going to do something special.” While Tunsil did expect the team to see this improvement, he did not expect it in his sophomore season. “I actually didn’t think it would happen this fast,” Tunsil said. “I thought it would happen my junior year.” Treadwell also felt the importance of the team’s improvement and impressive start to the season. “It felt great. The vision of changing the program with some players that are underrated and looking past when it comes to rankings and all that, it felt good,” Treadwell said. “I know that the seniors here feel very great about the couple wins.” In agreement with Treadwell’s statement, senior cornerback Senquez Golson was very pleased with the team’s victories over Alabama and Texas A&M. He was also surprised at how

quickly the team reached a high level. “I knew we could be good, but I don’t think I had it in my mind that we could be this good at this point,” Golson said. “But we still have a long way to go if we want to continue to do what we do, and we just have to keep playing well.” With these two huge wins behind him, Treadwell talked about the upcoming matchup with Tennessee. “Their defense is very physical. They’re young, but they play hard, and it’s kind of similar to how we play,” Treadwell said. “They probably just have a couple young players on the team that are still learning the tempo, the SEC, stuff like that but other than that they’re a great defense.” Meanwhile, Golson discussed what he had seen from the offensive players he would cover during the game. “The receivers are physical, probably the most physical receivers we’ll play all year, big, and they make plays,” Golson said. Golson broke down the challenges that bigger wide receivers present for the Rebel secondary. “It’s harder to put your hands on them. With the smaller corners that we have, they try to body us,” Golson said. “I just have to keep watching film and get the tendencies and give it my best shot.” Golson also said it would be important to not slow down at the end of the game. “We did not finish against Texas A&M. I think that’s what we’re probably going to put a big emphasis on for the rest of the season – finishing,” Golson said. “It was a great thing that we won, but I think after the game as a defense we kind of talked and were like ‘this is not acceptable if you want to win big.’”
