Pi Kap moves into LCFD ensures community safety former Sig Ep house MITCHELL REDD

Since the closing of the Mississippi Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon at The University of Mississippi, their house sitting at 309 Fraternity Row has been dormant.

Last week, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity moved in.

The Pi Kappa Phi chapter was originally established at the university in 1927. However, due to many members enlisting to fight overseas in war, the fraternity left the university in 1949.

Several attempts to recolonize were made, but they faded. In the spring of 2013, Pi Kappa Phi made a comeback.

A group of about 65 men successfully established a colony.

This past Saturday marked a special event for the fraternity: Pi Kappa Phi received their charter, which means their chapter is a full-fledged member of their national organization.

The Alpha Lambda Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is the largest charter in the history of the fraternity.

The brothers were able to enter the house last week and had the opportunity to utilize the house during the chartering process this past weekend.

Pi Kappa Phi President Phillip Schmidt said the group acquired the house at a good time.

“It felt great having the

chartering of our fraternity go hand-in-hand with the excitement of getting into the house for the first time,” Schmidt said.

Despite the excitement the brothers share over their long-fought path of getting the house, Schmidt described the process as being quite lengthy and containing more steps than they initially realized.

“When Sigma Phi Epsilon lost their chapter at the university in the spring, our fraternity’s housing corporation was contacted by their fraternity’s housing corporation.

We were immediately excited for the future of Pi Kappa Phi,” Schmidt said.

Pi Kappa Phi also plans to make great use of their newest addition. Schmidt detailed that the house will be used as a grounds of meeting for many events, including formals, chapter meetings and many social events.

In addition to using the house for social events and meetings, Schmidt is also hopeful that it will provide a common place to meet that will increase the bonds of brotherhood between their members.

“We are so very excited about it, but we still have a long way to go,” Schmidt said.

“Just having a place to chill, watch television, study and bring our lunch will be nice.”

With October marking the beginning of fire prevention month, the Lafayette County Fire Department has focused its efforts on informing the public, especially during the week of Oct. 5 through Oct. 11.

The week was especially significant because it was the official fire prevention week, according to the station’s fire coordinator, Jerry Johnson.

During that week, the members of the LCFD took their fire safety trailer, equipped with smoke detectors and fake fog, to different elementary schools, daycares and churches in order to educate people

on what to do if a fire should ever start around them.

For Johnson, educating citizens on fire safety at a young age is crucial.

“If we can catch them at an early age, we are able to mold them from fire safe children to fire safe adults,” Johnson said.

Firefighter John Netherland explained the process of informing children about fire safety.

“We take it to schools, and we give kids a little instructional class about what to do if there’s a fire,” Netherland said. “We can flip a switch, and it will get warm in there, and [then] we pump in some

fake fog and show kids how to crawl on the ground and stay away from fire.”

Netherland and others also agreed that an extremely dangerous household item that will cause many calls to the department during the fall and winter months are heaters, especially space heaters.

“Remember, space heaters must be three feet from any combustibles,” Johnson said.

“If you’re using wood-burning heaters, you [must] make sure that they’re checked out and are operating properly.”

Firefighter Taylor Marks admitted that some of the calls the station receives re-

The Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house is seen Wednesday.

Members of the dissolved Sigma Phi Epsilon were able to disaffiliate from their fraternity and join other fraternities on campus following the closure of the Mississippi Alpha Chapter last spring.

Many of the members chose to join Phi Kappa Tau, a fraternity that, before this year, had been one of the smallest fraternities on campus.

“Can I take your order, Sir… Ma’am… Uh…?”

People get funny when they can’t immediately figure out your gender. If you haven’t had any personal experience with this, take it from an expert. You can practically watch the wheels spinning frantically in their head.

Sometimes there’s a polite smile that mostly looks like a grimace, or sometimes they just blink. You can see the brain cells firing rapidly, like if they don’t know what you’ve got in your pants, they don’t know how to communicate. As often as this THE DAILY

has happened to me, I think it’s a wonder we don’t go around speaking directly into each other’s crotches.

As a transgender man, passing (having my gender identity correctly interpreted by others) has been a struggle for me for years. Fortunately, now that I’m on hormone replacement therapy, my voice doesn’t give me away nearly as much as it used to. Bi-weekly injections of testosterone are a hell of a drug, but this whole “second puberty” gig sucks.

I get that I’m not the most masculine looking guy around.

My round face makes me look either like a woman or a twelveyear-old — not that there’s anything wrong with those things.

I’m just not either of them.

I’d say most days I get addressed half the time as male, the other half as female. Or, to be more accurate, one fourth male, one fourth female and half the time the verbal equivalent of six question marks. But when I’m wearing a man’s watch, have

on Converses, jeans and a button down and pull my leather wallet out of my back pocket, I’m left wondering what else I could possibly do.

Should I get the “male” symbol tattooed somewhere on me?

That little circle with the very phallic upward pointing arrow is pretty cool, but I don’t know if I’d want it on my forehead.

Should I wear flannel all day every day?

Trouble is, we live in Mississippi, and as much as I love plaid, summer would be the death of me.

Maybe I could pretend to know enough about cars or football to have normal “manly-man” conversations, but that seems like it would involve a lot of research I don’t want to undertake.

Spit and scratch in public?

Or maybe I should just throw all hope of subtlety out the window and scream loudly as I walk into every room, “Hello, yes, I am a boy, please respect my gender identity!” The thought has occurred to me more than once.

The Daily Mississippian welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be addressed to The Daily Mississippian, 201 Bishop Hall, P.O. Box 1848, University, MS, 38677-1848, or e-mailed to dmletters@olemiss.edu.

Letters should be typed, double-spaced and no longer than 300 words. Letters may be edited for clarity, space or libel.

Third-party letters and those bearing pseudonyms, pen names or “name withheld” will not be published. Publication is limited to one letter per individual per calendar month.

Letters should include phone and email contact information so that editors can verify authenticity. Letters from students should include grade classification and major; letters from faculty and staff should include title and the college, school or department where the person is employed.

If you don’t think much about how other people read your gender, then congratulations, you’re probably cisgender.

Don’t get offended. It’s not a slur. It just means you’re not trans; that you never disagreed with the doctor who proclaimed, “It’s a blank!” And while I don’t hold that against you, I do think you’re a lucky son of a gun.

Next time you go out, try and count how many times people call you “sir” or “ma’am” or say “he” or “she.” When you’re noticing it, that number gets really high really quick.

So, until my ratio of male to female to “oh God go away quickly so I don’t have to pick” ends up with me getting called the guy that I am every time, spare a thought for your trans brothers, sisters and nonbinary siblings.

Also do your best not to make fun of my dirt ‘stache. I know it looks terrible, but I’m too proud of it to shave it off.

garding heaters aren’t life threatening.

“Throughout the year, people will stack up stuff against their heaters, especially if they have an old radiator,” Marks said. “They’ll put stuff on top of it throughout the year, and then it’ll finally kick on, start to smoke, and dust will accumulate. When the coils get hot, that’ll start to put off a smell of smoke.”

With the fall season comes many other hazards for outdoor fires, including burning leaves – something that is common for those whom live outside the city limits and are unable to have their leaves collected.

Johnson advises residents of Oxford to have a working smoke detector in their homes and to check it regularly to assure that it is functioning properly. The department has a program where the elderly, handicapped and those in single-family homes can call the station and if they qualify, firefighters will come out, install detectors in their home. If the residents don’t have detectors, the service is free of charge.

Netherland stressed finally the importance of having both functional smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, as well as knowing the exits to evacuate one’s house in case of a fire.

“The most important fire safety tip, I guess, is to know your exits to get out of your house,” Netherland said. “As long as you know to not mess around and try and get belongings or pictures or anything like that, you can usually rest assured that fires won’t burn down the entire house.”

President of Phi Kappa Tau Jake Martin said he knew many of the Sig Ep members who were not involved in the issues that closed the fraternity house’s doors last year.

“Like many fraternities on campus, Phi Kappa Tau actives knew many of the Sig Ep members who had not been involved in the incident on campus that caused the charter to be revoked,” Martin said. “Conversations between the friends led to the opportunity for these men to become associated with Phi Tau.” The university was informed of the possibility of many of the former members moving to Phi Tau, and details were worked out between the Phi Tau National President and the National Sig Ep organization to release any person from the organization seeking to do so.

This provided former members the opportunity to join Phi Tau. According to Martin, there is no concern about having former members from a chapter which was closed on campus for events infamous nationally.

“None of those now as-

sociated with Phi Tau were involved in the actions of February 2014,” said Martin.

“However, that experience has served as a wakeup call to members of our fraternity, as it should to all on this campus, and moved us closer as a group.”

Conner Skufca is one of the former Sig Eps who joined Phi Tau and said he’s enjoyed the transition so far.

“We all obviously miss a lot of the older guys who chose not to join in for their respected reasons,” Skufca said. “The big thing, however, was keeping most of us together, which we achieved.”

He also noted that they have received a lot of support from current members, alumni and nationals.

With direction from alumni and parents organizations, Martin said Phi Tau is implementing a series of program topics designed to address issues that are seen every day on campus. These will include racial and gender discriminations, alcohol and substance abuse and suicide prevention.

The fraternity does not intend on making any changes to the house in the near future, or as long as they are still under lease. Members are currently not residing in the house but will be in the next academic year.

Is Aaliyah more popular now than when she was alive?

JARED BOYD

Jlboyd3@go.olemiss.edu

Beyond the grave, many musical artists find successes even greater than the accolades they received while on Earth.

The phenomenon exists amongst most genres. Travelers from across the world eagerly pile into Graceland each year for Elvis week. Rappers frequently channel fallen emcees 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. on songs in an attempt to invoke the emotional attachment and admiration fans have for their life and legacy.

Devoid of monuments or a truly distinctive musical style to associate with their favorite icon; however, Aaliyah fans seem to be taking a step further than devotees to other foregone performers.

Today, the singer, who died

in an August 2001 plane crash departing from a music video shoot, holds nearly as much prominence as she did while living. With a controversial television biopic produced by Wendy Williams scheduled to air next month, “Aaliyah fever” could get even more contagious.

Aaliyah embodied the street savvy bravado that was successful for contemporaries like Mary J. Blige and Faith Evans.

At 15-years-old, Aaliyah Dana Haughton began recording her debut album to be released on Jive and Blackground Records, an imprint operated by her uncle, Barry Hankerson. Hankerson at the time managed budding R&B star, R. Kelly.

After a 1995 VIBE Magazine article reported on Kelly and Haughton’s illegal marriage (Aaliyah was 15 and Kelly

was 27), the partnership that spawned hits “Back and Forth” and an extremely spot on cover of the Isley Brothers “At Your Best (You Are Love)” split up, causing Aaliyah to partner with another one of her uncle’s clients, Timbaland.

After Timbaland learned the ropes of the music business under the tutelage of Jodeci’s DeVonte Swing, he and other members of Devonte’s “Swing Mob” collective developed a sound that would serve as the signature to Aaliyah’s sophomore album “One in a Million” in 1996.

In the scope of Aaliyah’s short career, this period serves as her creative peak. The most outspoken Aaliyah super fan among musicians today, Drake, alludes to this era in Aaliyah’s discography often.

“Girl, I gotta watch my back, cause I’m not just anybody,” he rapped on Young Money’s “Every Girl,” a song instrumental in introducing the Canadian rapper to American rap music fans in 2009. The lyric mirror’s the chorus to the hit record, “Are You That Somebody,” a contribution by Aaliyah in 1998 to the Dr. Dolittle original soundtrack.

Drake’s devout fandom for all things Aaliyah often stands on the borderline of obsession. After a number of tributes to her through song, Barry Hankerson reached out to Drake’s longtime producer, Noah “40” Shebib, to executive produce the first posthumous Aaliyah LP. The project was cancelled after an outcry from Aaliyah fans hoping for Timbaland and Missy Elliot to head the project.

Shortly after her death, Jay-Z,

whose business partner, Dame Dash, was engaged to Haughton at the time of he death, immortalized the late vocalist with a heartfelt remix of her song “I Miss You.” One look or listen at R&B stars like Ciara, Rihanna or Timbaland protégé Keri Hilson proves Aaliyah’s DNA in the genre extends far beyond kindred female vocalists of the 1990s like Mya, Monica and Brandy.

Certainly when “Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B” airs November 15 on Lifetime, many new fans will be introduced to the singer that helped build the bridge between rap’s flavor and R&B’s fearless sexuality. Quite possibly, the film will assist in continuing the omnipresence of her influence on urban music culture.

Riverside Voodoo at Proud Larry’s tonight ELLIE BOND

mebond@go.olemiss.edu

Everyone loves a good underdog story, and the account of Riverside Voodoo’s emergence in the music scene is just that. The Oxford based crew, featuring Jonathan Peters on lead vocals and drums, Mac Jones on piano, Jake Horner on guitar and Watson Horner on bass, may only be getting their start in the world of music, but they are taking Mississippi and the rest of the South by storm.

Before Riverside Voodoo ever began, cousins Jake Horner and Watson Horner began playing together as middle schoolers in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

“I got a guitar and then convinced him to get a bass,” Jake Horner said.

The duo formed a two-man band between themselves, playing dive bars and small gigs around town. It wasn’t until several years later during their sophomore year at Ole Miss that the real magic began to happen.

Watson struck up a friendship, heavily influenced by their love for music, with Jonathan Peters, a singer and guitar player, who would become the third member of the imminent Riverside Voodoo. The then trio began playing around Oxford and attempting to find their voice. It was during this time in the spring of 2013 that pianist and vocalist Jones came into the picture.

“Mac was huge because we were pretty much just drums, bass and

Left to right, Watson Horner, Jake Horner, Johnathan Peters, Mac Jones guitar before,” Peters said. “He kind of filled it all in.”

With a fourth member and more instruments being implemented, Riverside Voodoo began to ignite.

“We started putting real songs together and playing real shows,” Watson Horner said.

The quartet began utilizing their musical talents, writing songs and honing their sound, which leaned towards blues and rock.

The group’s first big break came when they played alongside Moon Taxi at an Ole Miss fraternity party, where they were met with an excited crowd. A few short weeks after that, Riverside Voodoo started a recording process in Savannah, Georgia, creating a six-song demo of bayou rock hits. Since then, the four guys have created a name for themselves across state lines and played shows in Nashville and Baton Rouge. But before they head out on their out of state gigs, Riverside Voodoo will play

the Proud Larry’s stage Thursday night.

In a world full of mindless pop music and teenybopper boy bands, Riverside Voodoo is a breath of fresh, muggy Mississippi air. Though they started out as a head-banging jam band, Riverside Voodoo has begun dipping their toes in the electronica genre, implementing Jones on the keyboard. The group is also creating a new album, which will take a turn towards a more progressive side of the rock genre.

“It’s going to be a little spacey and trippy at times,” Jake Horner said of the upcoming album, which is expected to release in January of 2015.

Riverside Voodoo is no stranger to the difficulties and hardships that come with making a name in the music industry.

“We just wanted people to take us seriously in the very beginning,” Jones said.

As they have come to find out,

the music performing process can be an incredibly ego-bruising feat.

“You’re literally putting your work out for judgment,” Peters

said.

Operating more as brothers than band mates, the motley crew understands the importance of collaboration and working as a unit.

“There’s no one person that’s written a song from start to finish,” Jones said. “It starts with one person, and then we all build upon each other.”

This togetherness clearly shines through in the music, which plays out as a divinely playful romp.

From their angst-infused rock anthem “Kleptobismol” to the bluesy southern ballad “Born to Bones,” Riverside Voodoo has something for all music-lovers.

continued from page 8 were,” Freeze said about the comparisons between Tennessee and the 2013 Rebels. “Just got to find a way to keep winning, building depth right, and I’m sure they will in time.”

Freeze talked about the tempo of his offense and how it has helped his team ever since he arrived in Oxford.

“The first two years, we’ve lead the SEC in number of plays in my two years here,” Freeze said about his offense.

“Last year, we had quite a few negative plays that were bad schematically. I’m more conscious right now of the calls we make.”

The offense has managed the game more recently instead of

putting up 40 to 50 points per game like this offense is capable of. Freeze credits that to the defense.

“When our defense is playing like it’s playing, you just make sure you manage the game from an offensive perspective,” Freeze said. “It gives us the best advantage to win.”

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones had high praise for Freeze earlier this week calling his team the real deal. Freeze talked about Jones and complimented the way he has built the Volunteer program so far.

“Coaches that have better players usually become better coaches,” Freeze said about Jones bringing talented players to Knoxville. “The thing that has impressed me about what he’s (Jones) done is not only assembling talent but playing FILE PHOTO: THOMAS GRANING with great heart and passion.” Hugh Freeze watches on during the first half of the game against Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, Saturday.

Freeze offers high praise for Tennessee Volunteers

DYLAN RUBINO

There’s a lot to be happy about recently if you’re a student at Ole Miss or a resident of the city of Oxford.

Fall is in the air, homecoming is coming up and spirits are at an all-time high with the football program being ranked 3rd in the country.

Two straight wins against top 15 ranked opponents has earned the Rebels bragging rights, making them one of the best teams in the Southeastern Conference and in the country.

Making the College Football Playoff in it’s first season in existence is a realistic expectation for the rest of the season.

Head coach Hugh Freeze was pleased with the performance of his team at practice on Wednesday.

“It was very good,” Freeze said. “I continue to enjoy the way our team is preparing for games. The leadership of our team seems to continue to make sure our kids are staying on task and staying in the moment and understanding that each day has a life of its own.

That’s all we can do to prepare for Saturday.”

The defense has been the

Freeze had high praise for Tennessee senior middle linebacker A.J. Johnson, who has

recorded 68 tackles so far this season with one interception and 5.5 tackles for losses.

Freeze called Johnson one of the better linebackers in the conference and in the country.

for the Tennessee defense also, saying that the defense is very aggressive up front, and they’re aggressive the way they battle downhill to stop the run.

“They’re an extremely talented defense,” Freeze said. “It

will be tough to sustain drives against them. They’ll be a great challenge.”

Offensively, Tennessee has struggled. The Volunteers average 28 points per game, good for 82nd in the country, and are near the bottom in rushing yards per game.

Even though Tennessee has struggled offensively, Freeze gave praise for many of the skill players.

“Offensively, they have tremendous skill people at receiver and tailback. The quarterback has had a good year. The team has struggled to protect him at times,” Freeze said.

“That’s the one thing they have struggled on. There’s no question the talent around them is solid, and they play with great passion and hunger. It’s only a matter of time before they start winning some football games.”

There have been moments and instances where the 2014 Tennessee football team has reminded Freeze of his team in 2013; a team that is continuing to build and improve on for a breakout year.

“I think they have recruited well, and they’re in every game. Just kind of like we
