The arrival of members of hate groups on campus after a rally Friday leaves students anxiously awaiting the Associated Student Body Senate vote on a resolution to remove the state flag from school property Tuesday. Students who organized the rally said they expected opposition, and were prepared to meet it. Buka Okoye, president of the University’s chapter of the NAACP said he is optimistic the senate will pass the resolution during Tuesday’s meeting. The meeting will be held at 7 pm in the Law School Auditorium. “I definitely believe the KKK showing up applied more pressure on ASB,” Okoye said. He said the decision will
then be left for the administration of the university to remove the flag. Okoye said this decision will show if the University sides with the Klu Klux Klan or with the students. “We are anticipating what decision they will make,” Okoye said. Allen Coon, president of College Democrats, said seeing these members on the university’s campus enforces the fact that the flag needs to come down. “This is a symbol intricately linked to hate and racial oppression and these ideas of white supremacy,” Coon said. “Students are being hurt emotionally.” Minutes before the rally junior Dominique Scott sat on the steps of the Lyceum looking up at the state flag that flapped above. “I’m trying to be fearless as possible,” Scott said. “I’m not
gonna to lie, I’m absolutely terrified.” Students and faculty members flooded into the Circle until a crowd of several hundred people stood to view the rally. Participants lifted signs displaying messages such as, “This is our University too,” “#whataboutus?,” “I am more than a flag” and “Straight outta Patience.” Chats bellowed from the circle and could be heard throughout campus. Scott came on stage as the first speaker at the rally. She said the students on campus should be united for progressive change. Scott told a story about her decision to come to the University, she said she was scared of the history of violence and discrimination towards minorities in Mississippi. After coming here, however she said
she found the University’s community to be accepting. “With that community there also comes these symbols that surround me, that make me feel I don’t belong here,” Scott said. Scott said holding onto these symbols of white supremacy and exclusion perpetuates the stereotypes that follow the University of Mississippi and the state as a whole. “In trying to keep the Mississippi state flag, we are focusing on the past instead of the future. We are looking to things that the university used to be,” Scott said. “We are not giving the University a space to grow into something it can be.” Scott referenced the non-discrimination statement in the Associate Student Body constitution and urged ASB to

A Sigma Pi student was attacked on campus in early October and suffered a lung contusion, ruptured eardrum, several broken teeth and a concussion, according to a source familiar with the incident who was interviewed by The Daily Mississippian this weekend. Jeremy Boyle was working on his homework in the dining room of the Sigma Pi fraternity house around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 6, when he saw someone in the backyard and went outside to investigate, the source said. He found five men in the yard. One was wearing a black face mask, and the others were in “pledge attire” from another campus fraternity, the source said. Boyle, a junior accountancy major from Pennsylvania, was treated in the University of Mississippi Health Center and then transferred to Baptist Memorial Hospital. The Daily Mississippian contacted the University Police Department on Friday and Saturday for an update on the investigation and a copy of the police report, and was told information on the case would not be available until Monday. The Daily Mississippian also contacted the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct on Friday. Director Aniesha K. Mitchell declined to comment on the case. The Daily Mississippian will continue to report on this case as it develops.

Preserving the past, forsaking the future ANDREW DAVIS

The coming days and weeks will no doubt be busy, as the University of Mississippi’s Associated Student Body will be discussing and voting on whether to remove the state flag from campus due to its inclusion of Confederate symbols. In a recent letter to the editor, an alumnus of the University urged the ASB to “do the right thing” by keeping the flag and thus avoiding “blatant political agendas.” Efforts to remove or alter the state’s flag, the writer argued, represented “total ignorance and insanity” and would do nothing more than further divide both the community and the University. While it is clear the alumnus still feels a strong connection to the university, their plea to resist change on campus may be sacriTHE DAILY

ficing the future in order to preserve the past. It is impossible to delve into a discussion of whether or not the flag should be removed without addressing the elephant in the room: Confederate symbols and their connection to racial discrimination. The main point of contention lies in the relationship between the Confederate States of America and the institution of racial slavery. What represents a persistent point of confusion in the modern day could not have been clearer to those living in the middle of the 19th century. One need look no further than the ordinances of secession and the countless speeches, sermons and articles written during the Civil War to see that those living in the newly formed Confederacy recognized, and often lauded,

their attempts to create a nation founded to safeguard and expand the institution of slavery. To prove this point, let us look at evidence taken from our own state of Mississippi in the waning days of the Civil War. By early spring of 1865, the Confederacy found itself in dire circumstances as material, territorial and human losses reached previously unimaginable proportions. In a last-ditch effort to save the dying nation, many within the Confederacy’s military and political infrastructure suggested arming slaves to fight for the Southern polity. While this idea first surfaced, and was largely dismissed, in early 1864 at the insistence of General Patrick Cleburne of the Army of the Tennessee, by 1865 there no longer seemed to exist any alter-

native to fill the Confederate military’s depleted ranks. While the Mississippian, based out of the state capitol of Jackson, begrudgingly approved of this potential plan as a way to preserve the Confederacy’s independence, the Jackson News bitterly opposed any such proposals. Letting slavery die as a means to save the nation would represent, according to the News, “a total abandonment of the chief object of the war.” The editor of the News went on to conclude that, if the institution of slavery proved “irretrievably undermined,” then the rights of the states were likewise destroyed. “Why fight one moment longer,” the editor lamented. “If the object and occasion of the fight is dying, dead or damned?” If those within the Confederacy

continued from page 2 recognized the fundamental connection between the nation and the institution of racial slavery, why can’t we over one hundred and fifty years later? It seems as though time has induced, at best, a sort of historical amnesia and, at worst, a willful distortion of the past. Now let us return to the main point of this article, the upcoming ASB debate concerning the state flag and its place on the university’s campus. While the alumnus mentioned previously argues the ASB should avoid political intrigue, they largely fail to realize that when Mississippi chose to include Confederate symbols in its new flag at the end of the 19th century, instead of keeping the Magnolia Flag, it was explicitly committing a political act of resistance and defiance. Finally, what about the concern that removing the flag would inflame tensions and bitterly divide both the University and the surrounding community? In order for this fear to come to fruition, one has to assume the university was relatively united beforehand, which is either a fantasy or a delusion. To find such a united front, one must look back to the fall of 1962 when scores of students, alongside local townspeople, rallied behind the Confederate flag once more to violently resist integration and uphold white supremacy. The proverbial line in the sand has been drawn, and it is up to the ASB to choose a side. Whether they make strides toward a more inclusive future, or they chose to bolster an exclusionary past, is something only time will tell.

“Don’t retaliate, or you’ll come off as a stereotype.” In other words, don’t express your opinion or you’ll be identified as an angry black woman. If you know me, you would know that I come off as approachable and respectful. A firm believer in the Golden Rule – treat people the way you would like other people to treat you. However, I will not pass up the opportunity to speak up and defend myself when wrongfully accused. I am entitled to feel and express my concerns. So, when I was told not to voice an issue by a colleague, of course I was hurt. The stereotypes of black women are albatrosses and often described as poor, loud, angry or rely on government funding in order to support all 20 of their kids. At the dawn of 20th century media, the trope of the angry black woman became popularized on the series “The Amos ‘n’ Andy Show.” Sapphire, the main character, was known as the handson-hips, eye-rolling, emasculating and gum-chewing black

woman. The rise of the angry black woman continued from there and, to this day, is still portrayed in television series. But not all black women are Sapphires. Media has continued to paint a negative representation of black people in general, conveyed to the public through music videos, reality television, news, film and social media. As a matter of fact, not all black people are uneducated, on food stamps, thugs or walk slow. Not all African-American success is based on affirmative action. So many misinterpretations have come with the color of my skin, and because of that, I’ve always been told to work 10 times harder to achieve anything by my parents. Originally born in Zimbabwe, I moved to America in 2001, and dealing with prejudice has been difficult. Over the course of my time in the United States, I have noticed being from Africa, some people automatically assume that I grew up underprivileged. I have had people ask me bewildering questions that are out of this world. “Did you grow up in a hut?”

frustrated that I had to edit myself in order to minimize attention. I was frustrated at the lack of acceptance. I was frustrated that my skin affected the way people viewed me. My painful experiences of racism, however, made me accept my heritage and skin. All I ask is for people’s thoughts to be cognizant before they become judgements. It’s time for to us as individuals to get to know someone before prejudging. To not make assumptions about a certain group of people based off of others or what is portrayed in the media. The ugliness of stereotypes cannot prevail any longer.

“Did you use a lion as your mode of transportation?” “Did you eat rhino phallus for dinner?” Each shell-shocking question made me cringe in disbelief. Growing up, in primary school, I refused to share where I was born, and I dreaded pronouncing my last name in class. The people that called me “an African booty scratcher” are the same people who are now wearing dashikis. In order for my peers to accept me as their equal, I tried to hyper-Americanize. I later came to the conclusion that masking myself wasn’t benefiting me. I was

Dominique Scott, the first speaker of Friday’s rally spoke on why the flag should come down. He said ever since the South Carolina shooting, “black leftist communism” groups have started forming and he does not see them as productive. Camille Walker, the second speaker at the rally, said she is from Mississippi and her heritage matters, too. “Heritage is not wound up in a piece of cloth,” Walker said. “And I would know. I don’t have any flags, I don’t have a monument.” Walker said it is hard to recruit more black students when the University that should value the respect and dignity of each person flies a hate symbol.
“One day black students, brown students, red students, yellow students will walk on this campus and they will feel truly equal,” Walker said. “The path towards that day starts right now.” The University sent out a press release which said, as a state institution, the university flies the flags representing our state and nation. However, as a university committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive campus for all students, they continue to join other leaders in Mississippi to encourage our government to change the state flag. “We want our campus to re-

Winkler said the Confederate flag is no more a symbol of hate than the American flag. “I feel that the Klu Klux clan is no more racist than the Black Lives Matter (movement),” Winkler said. “The Black Lives Matter is just as racist as the Klu Klux Klan could be.” He said the swastika and KKK tattoos on his arms represent him as an individual.

pass the resolution. “ASB when are you going to take a stance?” Scott said. “When are you going to be at the forefront of making this university available and safe for everyone?” After the rally, pro-flag supporters holding state and Confederate flags from the International Keystone Knights came to the Circle shouting. “Black lives don’t matter,” attendee and member Shaun Winkler said. “We are the blood of conquerers.” On the steps Fulton Chapel, students and the pro-flag knights bantered. Their voices rose until University Police Department officers and University officials blocked off a free space between the two parties. Kyler Campbell, attendee said he feels that Mississippi does not need to change because the state has already changed enough. “If they don’t like the way we do things down here in Mississippi, they can go to Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas they’ve got plenty of other states they can go to,” Campbell said. “They don’t need to come down here and try to change (anything).” Winkler said the organization came to campus because they heard there was going to be a protest to take down the state flag. He said if the university were to do that, they would make a horrible mistake against the history of this state. “They have the right to voice their opinion, as we have the
flect who we are in 2015: a vibrant, welcoming and diverse community that honestly examines our history as we move forward together,” Melinda Sutton, dean of students, said in the statement. “We commend our students for using the democratic process to engage in debate over civic issues.” John Brahan, vice president of ASB said he appreciated the demonstration and the pressure that is being put on the ASB senate. Brahan said this shows that students care about how ASB and the ASB senate can help them. He said the turnout was enough to make an impact on senators. “Together we can make change on this campus,” Brahan said. ASB President, Rod Bridges said students rallying for something they are passionate about is exactly what he as a student government member wants. “They’re demonstrating their beliefs,” Bridges said. “I think this is great representation of students uniting under an issue they think needs to be changed.” University student, Tira Faulkner said she did not know the rally was happening until she heard racial slurs from the flag supporters. Faulkner said she chose not to feel inferior because of her race, but was still frightened. “It honestly scares me, and it makes me feel uncomfortable here in my environment at Ole Miss,” Faulkner said. “It hurts.” Shaun Winkler said to expect more flag supporters at the ASB senate meeting Tuesday. “There could be 20 people, there could be 200 people,” Winkler said.

New gym in Oxford re-imagines workout routines MARY ELIZABETH MOORE memoore1@go.olemiss.edu
Orangetheory Fitness debuted in the Oxford fitness community on Aug. 24. With numerous gyms and fitness programs already in Oxford, owners Joe and Summer Pegram knew they had to establish a different type of workout system to succeed in business. “It’s a great concept. Everyday is different— heart rate monitor based. You’re instructor led,” Joe Pegram, owner, said. “(It’s) so different from anything I had ever seen or done.” Orangetheory’s medical technology and use of heart monitors are two things that differentiate the center from other fitness gyms and programs here in Oxford. The 60-minute workout is designed to raise the client’s Excess Post Oxygen Consumption, abbreviated EPOC, to a certain level for a particular duration of time. The heart monitor worn during the workout allows the client to check and see his or her heart rate, which is indicated by colors and numbers on TV monitors located around the gym. “What sets us apart is definitely the whole heart rate monitor base system that we have, which you can see your heart monitor and heart rate and calories burned in real time,” Caitlin Kottenstette, a front desk associate at Orangetheory, said. The workout is divided into two parts. The first section mainly involves treadmills. The second section involves a combination of TRX bands, rowing machines, free weights and various cardio and abdominal exercises. Utilizing the color-coded heart rate system on the TV monitors, instructors are able to push and encourage participants to reach
certain EPOC levels and workout to his or her fullest. Each workout is different every day and is used globally in all Orangetheory Fitness studios. “The interval training is in five heart rate zones, and the instructor is telling you where you want to be during for those couple of minutes or minute,” Pegram said. “The idea behind it is the EPOC, so your body and your heart rate is fluctuating how they tell it to during the class.” After the class, the body continues to burn another 300 to 400 calories over the next 24 hours. Collin Pautz is one of the main trainers at Orangetheory Fitness and works every day to push his clients to achieve their best workout potential. “Here, we make sure that you get the most kind of engaged, and most high paced and active one hour workout that you can’t get anywhere else,” Pautz said. “Here, we will push you harder then you could push yourself at any other gym.” The Orangetheory Fitness franchise began more than five years ago with its first location in Miami. Since then, the company has grown nationally with 373 locations in the United States and globally in seven different countries. Recently, it was listed by Entrepreneur as one of the top 50 growing franchises in the country.

Flowers in the fall: Southside gallery hosts new exhibit SHERMAN JONES
sjones@go.olemiss.edu
Southside Art Gallery’s current exhibit features work that captures the beauty of change over time. “Full Circle: A Progression of Color through the Year” is a collection of the work of Carlyle Wolfe, a local artist with a passion for nature. Wolfe grew up in Canton and is now an adjunct assistant professor of art here at the University of Mississippi. After completing her BFA in painting at UM, she received her MFA in painting and drawing from Louisiana State University. Additionally, Wolfe received the Mississippi Arts Commission Visual Arts Fellowship in 2005 and 2010, as well as the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Visual Arts Award in 2008. “It’s difficult to say when I became an artist,” Wolfe said. “I remember recognizing that there was something about making pictures that really worked for me when I was in the second grade at St. Andrew’s in Jackson. My parents and my school gave me wonderful opportunities to be creative at an early age.” The drawings featured in her exhibit were made over the last 15 years, beginning in 2001 when Wolfe was in graduate school at LSU. Wolfe said she believes the drawings mark the maturation of her work. “Over the last 15 years, I have learned a lot about subjects, forms, processes, materials, ideas and how they work together,” Wolfe said. “That said, I look back and value and even draw from early aspirations.” Wolfe’s work is a reflection of her love for nature and wild, natural growth. The gardens she cultivated in her paintings allow her to create scenes with imagination, re-
lating the realities of season and zone to imagined places and images from stories. The drawings— which fit together in chronological order, even though they were made over many years— feature patterns of flowers and branches through layers of light and color. “Flowers are pretty easy to love, and I enjoy finding particulars to enjoy in distinct species and individuals,” she said. “For example, zinnias are structured in fascinatingly similar but varied ways. The delicate fragrance of magnolia fuscata carries in the spring breezes. Ornate passion flowers grow wild along roadsides.” She credits her love of landscape as one of the reasons she spends a good bit of time in woods and pastures riding horses. “I also appreciate plants that require maintenance,” Wolfe said. “There would be a necessary balance between wildness and order.” Wolfe draws her inspiration from various sources, from arranging wedding flowers for friends and riding horses to looking at landscape painting at art museums. Wolfe especially treasures the imagery that she is capable of deriving from reading. “There are a number of movies, especially movies based on children’s books, that I wouldn’t see because I wouldn’t want to dilute my impressions based on words,” she said. The work on display at Southside Art Gallery mostly focuses on either Stonehenge or arches on watercolor paper, with some pieces gaining an aged look with time. Virtually none of the drawings on display feature a background, which makes some of them, such as “Camellias,” appear to be floating on a lake. From afar “Cedar Branch” looks a little like a nerve tract. The
zinnia drawings, slightly faded with time, look like patches of shading from a distance. Only when one gets close to the group of drawings can you see the reality depicted on paper. For Wolfe, being able to see so many of her drawing at one time is a first. “I had a sense of how they fell into chronological positions,” she said. “But seeing the installation, the repeating cycle, has me pondering and will influence my future work. Wolfe’s artist reception will be held on Thursday, November 5 from 6 - 8 p.m. Her collection, which went on display October 13, will be available for viewing and purchase at Southside Gallery until November 14.

continued from page 12 game seemed to be the Ole Miss defense’s inability to get off the field on third down. Memphis converted 12 of 20 third down attempts, with the majority of the attempts coming on longer than 6 yards. “We were as bad as you could get on third down getting off the field and, at times, converting those third downs,” Freeze said. “I wish I had all the adjectives. It was as bad as I’ve ever seen.” “Anybody who watched the game could see how bad they beat us on third down,” Dave Wommack, defensive coordinator, said. “We missed so many tackles on third down. It was ridiculous.” Both quarterbacks shined on Saturday as Chad Kelly finished the game, completing 33 of 47 pass attempts for 372 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. The offense struggled at many points throughout the game, not converting on third down and failing to score points at times. Kelly felt the same way. “We can’t keep shooting ourselves in the foot all the time,” Kelly said. “Turning the ball over and not converting first

downs is how you get beat, and we didn’t do that.” The star of the game was Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch. Projected as a first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Lynch torched the Rebel defense and made all the throws necessary to win football games. Lynch finished 39 of 53 passing for 384 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Freeze had high praise for the Memphis quarterback after the game. “I don’t want to take anything away from Paxton Lynch,” Freeze said. “He’s one of the best quarterbacks I’ve seen in my time here to make every throw and was very poised.” Freeze admitted the team was ‘not locked in totally,’ but he and other players made sure to give the proper credit to Memphis and how they outplayed the Rebels. “Memphis came out to play,” Trae Elston, senior safety, said. “They out-physicaled us. They played harder than us. They wanted to win more than us. We just got to check ourselves. A lot of people on our team, we don’t have our heart into it.” Freeze understood and responded to disappointment from Ole Miss fans and faith-

Ole Miss soccer shuts out top 10-ranked Auburn Tigers CHRISTOPH LUDWIG
Csludwig@go.olemiss.edu
The 21st-ranked Rebel soccer team earned their second straight win over a top 10 team with a 2-0 victory over the 10-ranked Auburn Tigers Friday night at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium. The Rebels improved to 113-2 with the victory. It was the first time in program history that the Rebels defeated two top 10 opponents consecutively. “We’re excited. Those are two really good wins for us,” Mathew Mott, head coach, said. “This league is so tight, and home games are really important. So for us to come out of here with two points is really great for our mentality.” The two wins have given the Rebels a lot of confidence. “They feel really good about it, and they should,” Mott said. “They got two shutouts and two two-goal wins.” Auburn controlled the game in the first half, holding a lot of possession in Rebel territory, but Ole Miss got on the board in minute 38. After Auburn redshirt freshman goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau initially made a great save on a point blank shot from junior forward Gretchen Harknett, the ball was played out wide to the right for senior midfielder Bethany Bunker, who sent in
a cross toward goal. The ball went straight at Le Beau but then went off her hands and into the net to give the Rebels a 1-0 lead. Junior forward Addie Forbus extended the lead to 2-0 in minute 49. Harknett sent in a cross from the right side, and Forbus leaped up and headed it past Le Beau and into the left side of the net. “Gretchen (Harknett) got the ball out wide, and I saw that she beat her player. She got her head up, and I knew that was my cue to make the run into the box,” Forbus said. “As soon as it left her foot, I knew I had to get on the end of it.” The goal was Forbus’ 10th of the season, moving her one shy of freshman forward CeCe Kizer’s team lead. The Rebel defense posted its second straight shutout. Auburn took 21 shots on the game, but none found the back of the net. “Everybody on the field put in a huge defensive effort,” Maddie Friedmann, senior defender, said. “Winning our individual battles has been a focus of ours, and I think it worked.” Friedman said the Rebels are playing well, but are making sure they don’t get caught up in the moment. “We have a lot of confidence, but we’re also a team that knows to remain humble be-
cause games can go any way,” Addie Forbus runs the ball in a game against South Carolina this season. Fridmann said. “It can be taken from you just as quickly as you received it.” This week the Rebels will head out on a two game road trip to take on Tennessee on Friday and 22-ranked Texas A&M on Sunday. “We’re not done,” Mott said. “Tennessee is excellent, and Texas A&M is one of the best teams in our conference. So, we have to be ready.”

Rebel blues: Memphis Tigers upsets Ole Miss 37-24 DYLAN RUBINO

Robert Nkemdiche suffered a head injury in Saturday’s game against Memphis.
Memphis, Tenn. — A somber Hugh Freeze walked into the press room at the Liberty Bowl after his team lost to cross-town foe Memphis 3724 Saturday afternoon. Everyone seemed to be pointing fingers for the reasoning behind Ole Miss’ fall to a team it was favored to beat for the second time in three weeks. Freeze owned up to the team’s loss Saturday, however, and took the blame for the overall struggles and disappointing performance. “On our end, very disappointing. I’ve been on the other side of those wins, and I know what that feels like. It’s crushing to be on the other side,” Freeze said. “I was very disappointed in how we played, and that starts with me. I have to take responsibility for us.” With the loss, the Rebels dropped to 5-2 on the season and fell 11 spots to 24 in the AP Top 25 Poll. With the victory, Memphis climbed to 18. The disappointing ending did not seem possible early in the game. The Rebels jumped
out to take a 14-0 lead with just under 10 minutes in the first quarter. After the first two scoring drives for Ole Miss, the momentum quickly shifted in favor of the hometown Tigers as they scored 31 unanswered points to make it 31-14 Memphis in the middle of the third quarter. Freeze and the Rebels felt the momentum slipping from their fingers in the second quarter. Freeze gambled twice on fourth-and-1 conversions to get back the momentum his team once had in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, the Rebels could not gain a yard on third-and-1 from the Memphis 10-yard line with junior defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche running the ball. Nkemdiche was injured on the play and left the game with a concussion. Instead of kicking a 27-yard field goal, Freeze elected to give the ball to sophomore running back Jordan Wilkins and was stacked up in the backfield. Freeze decided to gamble again before the half and he didn’t win anything. Freeze called a quarterback sneak
for Chad Kelly on fourth-andinches from his own 34-yard line and did not gain any yards. Memphis proceeded to score a touchdown with 34 seconds left in the second quarter to take the 24-14 lead at the half. “That wasn’t a good decision,” Freeze said on going for it on fourth down. “You’ve got half a foot, thinking we really need to change this momentum and get some points is what you’re thinking, but obviously, it was not a good decision.” It was an explosive start for the Rebel offense to take the early 14-0 lead in the first quarter. On the second play of the game, Kelly lateraled it to junior wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, who flung it downfield to junior wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo to make 7-0. The next drive, Kelly led an eight play, 90-yard scoring drive capped off by a 23-yard pass from Kelly to sophomore wide receiver Damore’ea Stringfellow to make it 14-0. It went downhill from there. Memphis scored on seven of their next 11 drives, including four touchdowns. The biggest impact of the
