James Meredith

BY KRISTEN STEPHENS kriskros2010@gmail.com

As Ole Miss and Auburn fans mingled in the Grove and the Circle, in a quiet corner, away from the noise, James Meredith sat with friend Hiram Eastland. In a rare opportunity, they spoke with student journalists, Meredith’s first oncampus interview in 50 years. Though many consider him a staple citizen in the civil rights movement, Meredith disagreed.

PHILLIP WALLER | The Daily Mississippian

“Frankly, I had never heard of the ‘civil rights movement,’” Meredith said. “I had been nine years in the military, the last three years (before coming to Ole Miss) overseas. That wasn’t part of my reality.” Instead, Meredith saw himself as “a servant of God on a specific mission of God,” which required him to restore the power and glory to his Choctaw bloodline. The reason for the bloodline’s end See MEREDITH, PAGE 4

The Ole Miss campus has been placed under a boil water advisory, which includes the water fountains and water stations.

The boil water advisory is still affecting campus, from dorm life to water fountains and dining options. BY ADAM GANUCHEAU thedmnews@gmail.com

The boil water notice on campus at The University of Mississippi will remain in effect until no earlier than Friday, according to physical plant officials. Director of the Physical Plant Department Ashton Pearson said the cause of the boil water notice was a break in a water line at a construction site.

“State laws require two consecutive days of clean water samples in order to lift the boil water notice,” Pearson said. The first sample was taken and sent to the state lab yesterday morning, and the second will be taken and shipped to the lab this morning, according to Pearson. The boil water notice is affecting campus in a variety of different ways. Ole Miss Dining Service has been in direct,

constant contact with the Physical Plant about the situation, and they have taken necessary precautions to ensure the safety of students. “We have done multiple things to ensure safety,” Marketing Coordinator of Ole Miss Dining Jeffrey Owens said. “We have put up signs that inform people what to do during the situation and See WATER, PAGE 3

Have you noticed the incessant Facebook posting and tweets regarding this year’s Presidential election? For some reason, a larger portion of the general public and in my opinion, a larger portion of our generation, is paying greater attention to the elections this year. While I think it’s awesome that so many citizens are thinking about who will run the country, I also think there are a few general thoughts or guidelines that people should consider when discussing politics or thinking about the upcoming elections. First of all, don’t take politics personally. If one person has an opposing opinion, don’t get upset and don’t act dramatic. There is no need to make personal jabs

I do respect the views of every informed person. If you want to vote Mitt Romney for President, you’ve done the research, and you have legitimate reasons as to why you want to vote for him, I totally respect that. But, if you’re voting for Mitt Romney because your friends are or because that’s what your parents told you to do, I don’t support that. The same concept applies if you’re voting for Barack Obama. Once again, too many people have died protecting our freedoms for you not to have informed decisions regarding elections and our government. Essentially, respect the opinions of others. Don’t get upset if people disagree with you, and be an informed voter. There’s no reason for people to get mad over differing opinions, and there’s certainly no reason for opposing viewpoints to affect a relationship.

Why I voted for president based on social issues and not the economy

BY LEXI THOMAN alexandria.thoman@gmail.com

I am an Independent voter. I have no party affiliation, and I refuse to vote along partisan lines. I educate myself on the issues each year and cast my ballot according to which politician I think will do a better job, and this election is no different. Even though I am unashamed to admit that my political views tend to lean liberal, my absentee ballot was checkered with candidates from different parties when I filled it out this weekend. Simply put, the fact that someone calls himself/herself a Democrat or Republican is not enough to make me vote in their favor. T H E D A I LY

soldiers who fought for our freedom – especially our political freedom. We deserve to respect one another’s views and thereby respect the hard-fought battles of our many armed forces. So, the next guideline when discussing politics is: don’t hide behind social media. Yes, social media is meant to be a social platform where people can discuss ideas and even voice their political thoughts. If you’re brave enough to post your thoughts on Facebook though, I urge you to be brave enough to voice your concerns in class, in public, or with your real friends. Even in situations where you feel outnumbered, stand up for what you believe. Don’t allow others to dominate the conversation or to assume that you think the same way they do. Lastly, I urge everyone to be informed. If you know me or if you follow my column, you know that I identify as a fairly liberal democrat. While I’m biased in my own political beliefs,

based on political views. It’s perfectly OK to disagree. Being a liberal in Mississippi, I’ve learned that it’s very common for people to disagree with you, and that’s okay. I don’t take it personally that people think differently than I do. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly get mad; however, I don’t show my emotions. There’s no reason to be openly mad that someone disagrees with you. In high school, my guidance counselor was (and is) the polar opposite of me. We discussed politics all the time, however, we never let it get in the way of our friendship or working relationship. Today, we continue to discuss politics often, and we still respect one another. I’m her favorite Democrat, and she’s my favorite Republican. Thankfully, we live in America where everyone can have his or her own views. I understand that we all have passions behind our beliefs, but we should all respect differing opinions. I am thankful everyday for our

When it came to the presidential ticket, I did something that surprised myself. In an election year where the economy is the largest issue on the agenda, I voted according to their positions on social issues and ignored the economy altogether. While I know that many people will be quick to call my decision rash, irresponsible or even near-sighted, I’ve simply become fed up with the superficial rhetoric that both President Obama and Mitt Romney have offered when they address economic issues. Even though both candidates promise to add jobs, cut the deficit, and jump-start the economy, they offer insufficient answers when asked one innocent question: How? The U.S. government isn’t set up like a company, and the Commander-in-Chief is not the CEO of the United States. Al-

though the president does have some influence, the modern political arena exaggerates just how much control they truly have over the economy. But while the candidates’ economic plans are questionable and unclear, their stances on social issues are relatively clean-cut. And unlike the economy, the president has two direct ways to influence social policy issues: his power of the veto, and his ability to appoint Supreme Court Justices as vacancies arise. Four of the nine Justices will be in their 70s (or older) during the next presidential term, meaning that the retirement of at least one is more than likely. The nomination of a single Justice could be enough to tip the balance of the court, especially in an era where 5-4 rulings on controversial cases are commonplace. Potential Supreme Court cas-

es for the near future involve the hot-button issues of samesex marriage, voting rights and even abortion. In the end, the president of the United States — be he liberal, conservative, or anywhere in between — cannot be expected to fix the economy single-handed. The causes of the recession are rooted deep in our financial system and were planted there years ago. The economy has its natural ups and downs over which the president has little control, but the social policy that is set on issues in the next four years will set precedent for decades to come. I chose to vote according to the issues upon which the candidates have clear positions and substantial political power, not the economy.

All food that requires water to prepare is being cooked with water that has been boiled. Ole Miss students that live on campus are also having to deal with the boil water notice accordingly. “It hasn’t been too bad,” geological engineering freshman Bryce Bealer said. “They put signs all over the dorm to warn us about it, and the water isn’t brown or anything.” Other students are upset that there are no free drinking options available during the notice. “It isn’t very convenient that you have to buy a drink when you get thirsty,” business sophomore Mandy Franklin said. “I could at least get some water for free with-

MEREDITH,

was rooted in arrogance and a “refusal to believe anybody was smarter than us,” according to Meredith. Meredith believed the most effective way to achieve his family’s dream of bringing back the power that once was theirs was to put his foot in the door of higher education and learn from others — something his ancestors failed to do. “Our great shortcoming was our failure to appreciate and learn from others,” Meredith said. “If we were ever to become a real part of the Mississippi scene, we would have to know as much as other Mississippians. So that’s how I got involved.” As history shows, Meredith was not a welcome member to the Ole Miss “scene” at first. In pictures, a young, calm Meredith appears amidst a sea of scornful faces. Pictures and history say one thing, but Meredith said another.

“I never saw one person here, not one,” Meredith said. “I wasn’t concerned about what anybody did then. It was pretty clear in my mind what Mississippi was and what it had been. In my view, anything that anybody did that was not what they should be doing was simply my failure to do my job – that it couldn’t possibly be their fault, only my fault.” Though Meredith’s initial mission originated from his concern for his family, his mission continues. His concerns now lie with the public education system and the future of Mississippi’s youth. “(The public education system in Mississippi) is almost a total disaster, and everyone’s still focusing on higher education,” Meredith said. “It may still be a problem, but the real problem in Mississippi is from birth to age 18. And that’s my present mission.” According to Meredith, the demise of Mississippi’s public school system originated in the late 1960s. Within a few years, the number of black principals throughout the state dropped

dramatically. Blacks associated with the civil rights movement were fired and established new routes in bigger cities throughout the country. According to a 2003 U.S. census on educational attainment in the country, 80 percent of blacks in the U.S. 25 years and older graduated high school. “It was deliberately destroyed and it has not been built back,” Meredith said. “Mississippi is suffering already and if we don’t change it, we are really going to be in bad shape. I’m not opposed to nothing that happened 50 years ago, but my mission from God now is to get the black people of Mississippi to do for themselves all that they can do to improve their lives.” Meredith’s plan to build the public education system begins with the church. Church members, Meredith said, are responsible for seeing their children succeed. Meredith also said it is important for the church and community to take part in building a child’s foundation “Everybody needs to know

each other in their communities and that doesn’t happen anymore,” said Eastland, who is over Eastland Law Offices in Greenwood and Oxford. “It doesn’t but it has to,” Meredith chimed-in. “We’re already in very serious trouble.” After the same goal, Eastland and Meredith identified with Frederick Douglass’ idea that the key to freedom is education. “We opened the doors of higher education but nobody’s going to be able to take advantage of it with all these children that are chained in poverty unless we do something about the public school system,” Eastland said. “It’s everybody’s responsibility to teach (the youth) the values so they will have the discipline and desire to learn. We haven’t completed the journey.” Eastland said that the issue should not just be a concern for liberals or conservatives, blacks or whites, rich or poor, but should be something the entire country takes attention to. “We’re all in it together,”

Eastland said. “We’re starting to see encouraging seeds of that and that people are willing to roll up their sleeves and do it.” The country should focus on “blending passions and reasons” of all people according to Eastland and learn to stand up and engage the young people. He said the youngest generation has to pitch in. Meredith realized he played an important part 50 years ago but felt his mission continues to today’s youth and ensuring they would be able to “take advantage of going to a place like Ole Miss,” according to Eastland. “That’s why he has a tendency to not focus on what he did 50 years ago,” Eastland said. “He wants to focus on the future. “It’s amazing. You can watch it and see it in his eyes. It’s so powerful that now, opposed to 50 years ago when no one would speak to him or shake his hand, he now feels so much a part of the family of Ole Miss and he is a treasured member of the family at Ole Miss.”

How to: Use a Zipcar at Ole Miss BYMATTHEW BISHOP mtbishop2@gmail.com

You have probably noticed the parking problems at Ole Miss, especially true if you live on campus. As soon as you leave for a simple, fiveminute errand, your parking place will more than likely be taken. After 8 a.m. on a weekday, there are no parking places in sight, and you’ll be relegated to parking about a mile away, which is fun when your hands are full of books or groceries. If you’ve had this problem or if you don’t have a car in Oxford, Zipcar may be a solution for you. You can’t just get in the car and drive off, unless you want to spend a few nights with Bubba in the county jail. Like everything else, there is a process. Which is why I have created this nifty howto just for you.

name, email and driver’s license number. They will check your driving record and will deny your application if you: • Have had more than two violations or accidents ( Zero if your under 21) • Have any major violations (excessive speeding, reckless driving, etc.) • Have gotten a DUI/DWI in the last seven years Ole Miss students get the $25 application fee waived, but you will have to pay the $50 annual membership fee. After everything gets approved and you pay the $50, you’ll get a Zipcard (step 4 tells you how to use it) in the mail. You then have a 30-day risk free trial.

Step 2: Sign Up

You’ve been approved and have a fancy Zipcard, and now you’re ready to rent (or as Zipcar puts it “share”) a car. There are two ways you can do this: You can reserve the car online at their website or, if you have an iPhone

Step 5: Drive Off

Step 6: Return the Car

I assume you know how to drive, so I won’t tell how to drive off. But I talk to you about what you’re paying for. The base rates are as follows and includes gas, insurance and 180 miles. • $7.50 an hour on weekdays or $69 a day, whichever is cheaper. • $8.50 an hour on weekends or $77 a day, whichever is cheaper. If you go further than 180 miles, it costs 45 cents a mile. You can even drive to Canada if you feel so inclined, but you have to bring the car back to the university because one-way trips aren’t allowed. If you get in a serious accident, there is $750 damage fee unless your personal insurance covers it. When you get below a fourth of a tank, there is a fuel card you can use to fill the car back up with gas.

Unless you want to see Bubba a third time (he’s missed you) you have to return the car. Simply return it to the same parking place you drove out of and leave the keys in the car for the next person to use. Don’t worry about locking the doors — they will do this automatically. Also, your Zipcard will only unlock the doors for the time you have reserved, so make sure you return the car on time or you could be locked out of it and stranded. If I have totally confused you with any step of this How-To, you can go to Zipcar’s website where they have their own how-to as well as videos and an FAQ page.

Step 4: Use Zipcard to Unlock the Car

Step 3: Reserve a Zipcar

Step 1: Be Eligible

Before you waste your time going any further, make sure you are eligible to even get a Zipcar. To be eligible, you have to be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. There are a few more stipulations, which we’ll go over in the next step.

or Android device, you can download an app and reserve it through that. You can reserve the car weeks ahead or even a few minutes before, if the car is available. If you haven’t seen them, the Zipcars are located on the Circle in front of Peabody.

Well you reserved the car, but they didn’t send you the keys and the doors are locked. So now you’re mad and resort to breaking the windows to get in. Before you vandalize property (and therefore get to take another trip to jail), take out the Zipcard you got in the mail and put it up to the sticker-looking thing on the top corner of the driver’s side of the windshield and Voila! It magically (actually it uses an RFID chip) unlocks the doors. Inside, you’ll find the keys to the ignition, and you’re ready for the next step. 26535

A tutorial of sorts on the ‘Playlist’ BY MARY B. SELLERS mbsellz@gmail.com

I treat music like I do books. Music, no matter what anyone says, is an integral part of our lives. Instead of discovering bands, I discover songs, and then I discover the bands behind them. I think specific songs should be used for specific purposes. I have found songs that I love, and after listening to the rest of the album, am unimpressed, and vice versa. Specificity is not a bad thing. However, I think that there are particular songs that exist outside of the umbrella of its band. The chemistry between listener and song is unreliable, but that is what makes the discovery all that more important. Even if we do not realize it, the music that is played in our surroundings influences us in multiple ways.

A great way to enjoy specific songs is by making playlists of your favorites. I make playlists for a variety of moods, seasons, reasons and everything in-between. It’s comforting to know what song to turn on when facing the impending test, or even something as simple and shallow as a night out. I like to say that a playlist is a good life “reinforcer” of sorts. Music has the power to lift us out of even the worse moods, as well as place us in ones that are necessary for the moment. Below, I’ve detailed certain songs that fit nicely into various categories of life. I want to urge everyone to explore musical genres outside of their interests. It is surprising, as well as rewarding, to come across a new song. Like I said, it is like finding a new book to read. I browse by title and content, rather than author;

hence why most of these songs below differ in band and genre. Books are not judged on their “currency” but instead, on their impact on the public and various genres in general. Try to remember this, and always keep an open and curious mind. Enjoy! 1. To begin with, waking up is difficult and painful. However, the type of song is actually pretty important, believe it or not. Too jarring, and you want to stuff a pillow over your head and call it a day. Too mellow, and you are back asleep in three minutes. “Hands” by The Raconteurs is the suggested choice. Driving to school can be a chore, especially if the O.U.T. bus is not a frequenter of the neighborhood, and, obviously, when there’s traffic. “Simple Song” by the Shins is both calming and energetic enough to keep you from turning around and

heading home. A couple of other morning favorites include, “Why I Cry” by Best Coast; “Gold On the Ceiling” by The Black Keys; “Lust for Life” by Girls; “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees; “Someone Great” by LCD Soundsystem; “You and I” by Ingrid Michaelson; “Long Cool Woman” by The Hollies; and “The Passenger” by Iggy Pop. 2. Afternoons can be tough depending on the amount of work there is to complete. Songs that are too upbeat make me want to “listen,” as in focus on the words and bop my foot to. Study music is something that should be able to exist in the background when necessary and not distract from the task at hand. My study playlist would not be complete without “Feel It All Around” by Washed Out (actually any Washed

Class Portraits The Ole Miss

Out song is prime stuff for studies); “Sleep Forever” by Portugal. The Man; “Paper Planes” by M.I.A.; “New Shoes” by Paolo Nutini; “Rill Rill” by Sleigh Bells; “Playground Love” by Air; “In the Waiting Line” by Zero 7; “Aniron” by Enya; and “Cult Logic” by Miike Snow. 3. Going out requires the right type of mood. This is probably the most eclectic grouping of songs, but I promise they are all fun to dance to. Here are a few songs that always get me out of the shower and into my dress in record time: “Beez In The Trap” by Nicki Minaj; “A Commotion” by Feist; “Ruin” by Cat Power; “Don’t Bring Me Down” by Electric Light Orchestra; “Lisztomania” by Phoenix; “Mercy” by Kanye West; “September” by Earth, Wind, & Fire; “I Got It” by Gorilla Zoe; and “Butterfly” by Crazy Town.

Aiding Oxford: Interfaith Compassion Ministry helps working class BY ALEXA BODE adbode@go.olemiss.edu

Over half the residents of Oxford and surrounding areas of Lafayette County are considered poor or low income, and some of those people suffer as a result of the Ole Miss schedule The most recent U.S. Census data shows that 61.4 percent of Lafayette County residents make less than $50,000 a year. Families of four or more who make less than $45,000 a year or less are considered to be poor. The unemployment rate is 6.3 percent, lower than the national rate of 8.3 percent. The vast majority of residents of Lafayette County are currently employed, but many still do not make enough to cover the cost of their rent, utilities and food. This is where Interfaith Compassion Ministry steps in.Â Interfaith Compassion Ministry (ICM) provides help to residents of Oxford and Lafayette County who are facing crisis situations. Currently, the most common need is rent assistance,

but the organization also provides help in several other areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work to assist those in crisis situations,â&#x20AC;? Lena Wiley, ICM director, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strive to provide for their basic needs: food, shelter, utilities, medication and transportation, may it be to a doctor or a particular destination.â&#x20AC;? The slow economy has had a profound impact on the working class of Oxford, and the number ofÂ people who are having trouble paying bills and covering various costs of living is now higher than it has been in recent years. As a result, ICM has seen an increase in demand for their services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I typically see about 60 to 70 people a week who are facing some sort of crisis and need help,â&#x20AC;? Wiley said. A crisis situation can be defined in a variety of ways. It can mean that a family is in danger of being evicted after continually falling short on rent payments or not being able to pay the cost of utilities. They have no choice but to have their utilities shut off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This morning I had three

clients who had their utilities shut off over the weekend,â&#x20AC;? Wiley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of those clients had three children in the house: ages 12, nine and two. Within hours, we were able to get their electricity back on.â&#x20AC;? Another issue facing the residents of Lafayette County is seasonal unemployment. Come summer, when students are gone, many do not have a steady source of income. Since Oxford is a college town, Ole Miss pro-

vides jobs to a large number of Oxford residents. Whether it be those who work in the Student Union Food Court, custodial staff or the staff at fraternities and sororities, professors and clerical staff are not the only ones who earn their income from the university. These employees work tirelessly during the school year, but once school is over in May, many are left without a job for three months. They have children to provide for and bills to pay. Ev-

ery summer, they are forced to claim unemployment or find other ways to earn enough money to support themselves and their families.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each summer a lot of women from the university come to us looking for help,â&#x20AC;? Wiley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To my knowledge, none of the custodial staff employed by fraternities and sororities are paid during the summer months, and those working in dorms and the union see a drastic decline in work hours available.â&#x20AC;?Â Joyce Moody, a cook at one of the sorority houses on campus, said she definitely feels a crunch each summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unemployment is only around $98 a week,â&#x20AC;? Moody said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even cover rent and utilities for a month, not to mention I have children I have to support, too. It just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, and finding extra sources of income during the summerÂ is tough.â&#x20AC;? These employees arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones who feel the crunch. During the summer, many ICM donors are out of town, so funding typically goes down. Wiley has more people that need help, yet less financial backing than during the rest of the year. The numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie. More than half the population of Lafayette County is currently considered low income or poor. That does not mean people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. The unemployment rate for Lafayette County is actually two percent less than the national average.Â Whether it is due to seasonal unemployment or a cutback in hours, these workers are taking a huge economic hit, and many feel helpless. The jobs simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out there.

Spanish emergence program at Myrtle Hall, where half of their curriculum is instructed in Spanish. “They are a unique brand of students” said Maddi Fummi, ASB director of student diversity. “They have a Spanish emergence program, which is unheard of in the Delta because usually they have the bare minimum of resources at the school.” Dandridge said she can identify with the background of some of these students and hopes they will be inspired by someone from Ole Miss. “One thing that I have learned being a student coming up from a family where I didn’t have parents that

went to college is that it’s important to have positive role models,” Dandridge said. “Our goal is to really make an impression on these students that is everlasting that they will carry when they leave from middle school and go to high school.” Fummi said the students will start their day off at 9:30 a.m. in the Union ballroom with an “around the world fair” so they can learn about being an “Ole Miss Rebel and global citizen.” The students will then get to tour the campus using maps written in Spanish and English. The tour will be led by Ole Miss students majoring in Spanish. The students will then go to the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for a meet and greet with football players and Rebelette cheerleaders and will end their day with an ice cream social in the Grove.

Golson building confidence at corner

REBELS,

Two-sport athlete Senquez Golson is beginning to see his game steadily improve this season on the gridiron. The sophomore cornerback started his third game of the season last weekend against Auburn and has tallied 20 tackles on the year.

the bye week. Freshman defensive back Mike Hilton, who suffered a concussion during Saturday’s win against Auburn, passed his final concussion test on Wednesday. He will be a full participant in practice on Thursday after having a non-contact practice day on Wednesday.

BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu

Sophomore Senquez Golson found himself in a bind after his senior year of high school. The Pascagoula native was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the eighth round of the 2011 MLB Draft. However, Golson ultimately decided to pass on the majors for now and pursue both baseball and football at Ole Miss. In his freshman campaign on the football team, Golson recorded 16 tackles and one interception for the Rebels. Now that his role has increased this season, Golson has already surpassed that mark and has recorded 20 tackles through seven games this season. Things don’t come as easy for Golson because he is

forced to miss significant amounts of practice time due to his commitments with the baseball team. “It’s always like that,” Golson said. “Even with baseball, I get around and the games start and I will be halfway ready and not all the way ready and it takes a little bit of time in the season to get going.” Golson secured the starting job at corner early this season, but lost it and had to fight to regain it. He did so this past weekend and recorded four tackles in the Rebels’ 41-20 win against Auburn. “I had a couple things I had to work on as far as technique,” Golson said. “I was just trying to get my legs back under me and get everything situated with the coverages.” Looking back at the game,

what I really have to work on. I’m tired of knocking the ball down. I’m trying to turn it around to where I can make the interception.” After turning in a solid performance against Auburn, Golson said he can feel his confidence rising moving forward. “That is the key to playing in this league,” Golson said. “You have to get your confidence and play with it. Once you make one play, you just feed off that and just build it and build it. You might have once or twice where you mess up, but you always remember that confidence and keep going.” For continuing coverage of Ole Miss football, follow @thedm_ sports and @SigNewton_2 on Twitter.

head coach Hugh Freeze was pleased with Golson’s performance and said he’s made a vast improvement throughout the season. “He had a solid game,” Freeze said. “He’s getting better. The thing I’m most proud of is he’s starting to learn how to practice. That had been a struggle for a major part of the time we’ve been together. It’s just him really knowing how to practice to prove that he’s prepared to play in the game and in the scheme that we have for that week.” Golson has also been looking to improve on playing the ball when it is in the air and becoming more of a threat to make an interception. “Instead of just trying to knock the ball down, I have to intercept it and take it away,” Golson said. “That is

Rebels workING on special teams The Ole Miss football team is using the bye week to get rested and have the coaches hitting the recruiting trail, but the Rebels are also getting a lot of special teams work in during their off week. BY BENNETT HIPP jbhipp@go.olemiss.edu

TYLER JACKSON | The Daily Mississippian

Freshman defensive back Quintavius Burdette (2) and members of the Ole Miss football team cover a kick against Texas A&M. 26821

Ole Miss has improved in a lot of areas during the course of the season, but special teams has been a disappointment. The Rebels are taking advantage of the open week by working on a good bit of kickoff team and kickoff coverage during practice. One area of the kicking game that Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze would like to see improve is the consistency of the kickoffs. In a perfect world, every kick would go through the back of the end zone. “Well, I assure you, that’s

what I want to do,” Freeze said. “We’re just not as consistent as we’d like to be if we get a little wind in our face or this or that. I assure you, we go into every game with the plan of let’s just kick it out of the end zone. Just kicking it in the end zone is not good enough because these dangerous return guys are going to return it. “There’s no question in my mind, if you can kick it 6-7 yards deep in the end zone, that’s the route for us to go, and that’s what we’d like to do.” Practices this week have been shorter than usual, and Freeze said that it is just part of his coaching philosophy in an attempt to keep his team fresh. It also allows them to spend more time in the weight room and working on academics. “It’s my coaching philosophy,” Freeze said. “We go from one thing to the next, and try to get it in. Just like today, we got 54 plays of offense in in that amount of time. I don’t know how many more I’d really want to get. Some of it has to do with the open week, of course. We shut down on some meeting time, and practice is a little shorter.” D.T. Shackelford update Freeze gave an update on junior linebacker D.T. Shackelford, who continues to attempt to work his way back after two knee surgeries for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). “(He’s) really good,” Freeze said. “He told me, ‘I could play right now.’ That’s tempting. But we’re going to let him finish up, and it’d be great to have he, and Andrew (Ritter), and Tyler (Campbell). That’s three leaders that we’ll have back with us next year. We’ll look forward to that time with them.” Although he hasn’t played in a game since 2010, Freeze believes Shackelford will come back and be the same player he was two years ago. He racked up 48 tackles, five sacks and nine tackles for a loss during his sophomore campaign. “He feels really good right now, and he’s training extremely hard,” Freeze said. “If there’s anybody that’s going to come back from it, it would be him. I think D.T.’s going to come back extremely strong.” Injury notes Sophomore defensive end C.J. Johnson sat out practice with a lower back strain. Freeze said they are just being cautious and making sure it has a chance to heal during See REBELS, PAGE 7
