With another big win against an SEC opponent, Ole Miss remains firmly entrenched at the number three spot in the AP top 25 poll with the 34-3 win over Tennessee.

Once again, it was the defense that stood out for the Rebels, holding Tennessee to just three points on the day. Meanwhile, the offense started off slow against the Volunteers’ solid defense but eventually rallied to score 34 points.

“I’m real proud of a lot of things tonight,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “There’s also a lot of things that will most certainly keep us grounded that we need to work on to get more efficient and get better.”

The offense for Ole Miss struggled in the first quarter, putting up zero points and trailing Tennessee 3-0 at the end of the quarter. Freeze talked about the slow start on offense. “Our first half, constantly, felt like we were backed up, and we certainly didn’t want to do anything that would give them any momentum, and at the same time, we were totally inept and didn’t win first downs at all until the next to last drive before the half,” Freeze said.

Although the game didn’t start out in favor of the Rebels, Freeze didn’t feel that all the blame fell on his team and gave credit to the effort and intensity of Tennessee.

“Part of the credit goes to

One year following “The Laramie Project” incident, in which the play was disrupted by students using derogatory slurs, some Ole Miss students, faculty, staff and alumni say they are disappointed that more has not been done to include LGBTQ students on campus.

“I was incredibly offended and shocked that it happened,” said Ian Whalen, senior history major from St. Louis, Missouri. “It, for the first time, made me incredibly uncomfortable about being gay and living an openly gay life.”

Whalen decided to come out completely to his family and friends as a sophomore in college.

Whalen said the incident jump-

started his involvement on campus. He now serves as co-president for the UM Pride Network.

According to Whalen, by becoming more active on campus he realized that inequality is still prevalent. The most noticeable aspects of the inequality are the lack of partner benefits and lack of genuine social acceptance.

Neither federal nor state laws protect LGBTQ individuals against workplace discrimination, but at The University of Mississippi, a discrimination policy is in place that does not allow discrimination of employees that identify as LGBTQ. Jaime Cantrell, a visiting assistant professor of English, said she would not go so far as to say the university is a welcoming place, although she feels it is not wholly

unfriendly either.

“Ole Miss offers LGBTQ-specific courses in various academic departments, including a new emphasis in sexuality studies through the Sarah Isom Center,” Cantrell said. “On an administrative level, Ole Miss protects the interest of students, staff and faculty through the LGBTQ Chancellor’s Advisory Committee, Safe Zone training and UM Pride Network.”

Cantrell said she would like to see Ole Miss offer health insurance coverage to employees’ same- sex FILE PHOTO: PHILLIP WALLER partners and more gender neu- The cast of “The Laramie Project” performs a dress rehearsal at Ole Miss on Tuesday, tral/single occupancy restrooms Sept. 24, 2013. in buildings across campus.

Advice to my future daughter RACHEL GRANGER

rjgranger@go.olemiss.edu

Dear Daughter, As I get older, I realize there are a number of things my mother said to me that I wish I had the sense to believe. She warned me about the curve balls life would throw at me, but for some reason, I still believed life would spare me. I have realized that one day I will have to sit down and tell my daughter some of the same things, but instead of simply telling her what to do, I am going to make it a point to also tell her the reasons why I’m imparting such wisdom to her, such as: 1. Be the best you when no one is looking. It is so much easier to be great when you know that someone is watching; the real test is when you know that credit may never be given to you, but you still decide to do your best. Do not do well for the honor from men; do well for the respect you have for yourself.

2. Girls are mean. They are not always mean because they feel threatened by you or because you are better than them. Sometimes, people are cruel because that is THE DAILY

who they are.

3. With regards to number two, never grovel. If someone does not appreciate you, do not beg to be in their lives. It is normal to want to feel loved and wanted, but that does not mean you have to force people to love and want you. Realize they are missing out on more by not accepting you as a friend.

4. When someone shows you their real colors, believe them the first time. As girls, we tend to be able to give people chance after chance because we have hope that they will meet our expectations.

No. Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

5. Expectations are a door to being hurt. It is okay for you to have them, but realize that when you expect people to be a certain way, you should be prepared for them to not reach these standards. Expect but never be surprised when your expectations are not met.

6. Boys lie. Boys are inconsistent. Boys are bad. We love boys.

Gah. They will drive you crazy.

One minute, they want you, you want them, and you’re happy.

The next minute they are bleh.

Most guys are consistently inconsistent. That happens. They are

not all bad; they are not all good.

Trust your instincts.

7. You will get lonely. There will be days where you feel as if no one cares or loves you, but remember, everyone has those days. You just have to find someone who knows you enough to help pull you through.

8. Open up to people. You have these walls built because of #2 and #3 and because you have a hard time believing that people really care. God has placed people in your life to fulfill this need; you just have to utilize them.

9. You will fail. Falling happens. Sometimes you won’t be the smartest, prettiest or most liked.

You are not defined by your quality of grades, number of friends or Instagram likes. Bill Gates is a college dropout, but now, he is one of the richest men to exist. Bradley Cooper was called the ugly duckling, but he is now hot. Extremely hot. Thomas Edison failed 99 times before making a light bulb.

Michael Jordan was benched before he became the best. Failures are not roadblocks; they do not mean turn around or park the car. They mean hit the gas pedal and move over these small speed

bumps.

10. I will fail. This is my first time being a parent, and I will let you down. I cannot promise you that our family will stay together, neither can I promise you that your happiness will be fulfilled through this family. Anytime I mess up, please realize that I am just learning to be a parent, and I am not purposely hurting you.

11. Everything is fleeting: beauty, relationships, money and success. The moment you allow your happiness to be defined in these material things is when you are most vulnerable. If at any point one of these things falls through, so does your happiness. Be careful where you invest your happiness.

12. Never change who you are for anyone except yourself. If someone does not love you for you, then let them find someone else to love. Do not pretend to be something that you’re not for the approval of others. Be yourself.

Accept yourself. Love yourself.

And the rest will follow.

The school garden at Della Davidson Elementary had its grand opening Oct. 1. The garden was funded by the “Eating Good ... and Moving Like We Should” program started by The University of Mississippi’s Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management from the W.K. Kellogg grant.

The garden is located behind the school beside the cafeteria.

about or ‘taboo’ on campus before the incident, especially my freshman and sophomore year,” Gibbons said.

Gibbons said the incident started a dialogue and made LGBTQ history month, October, a much bigger event on campus than what it originally would’ve been.

Jennifer Stollman, academic director for the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and an ally for LGBTQ students, said the university is taking steps to include LGBTQ students on campus.

“First and foremost, there is the chancellor’s LGBTQ Advisory Committee, housing and student affairs have been taking steps to train themselves on LGBTQ issues, so I think there is some movement,” Stollman said.

The Chancellor’s LGBTQ Advisory Committee is led by Chancellor Dan Jones and has the responsibility to advise university leaders on policies and initiatives that all students, faculty and staff on campus, who identify as LGBTQ, are treated justly and fairly and feel safe, supported respected and valued.

The advisory committee meets once a month to work on policies benefitting the LGBTQ community at Ole Miss, according to Camp Best, chair of the Chancellor’s LGBTQ Advisory Committee and university counselor.

Miss alumnus Barrett Beard said he wasn’t happy.

“I hated it, but I’m not surprised,” said Beard, who graduated in 2008 and now lives in New York City.

There were times on campus while Beard was at Ole Miss that made it very clear homosexuality was not acceptable. Beard recalled individuals being verbally attacked and said he decided to never come out at Ole Miss after seeing those incidents.

“I was a happy person and wanted to focus my energy on my future success and serving my school,” Beard said.

The University of Mississippi has taken the steps to include LGBTQ alumni in their plan to diversify and include LGBTQ students. The Ole Miss Alumni Association created an LGBTQ alumni branch in April.

Tim Walsh, executive director of alumni affairs, said he never wanted to have separate alumni branches because he felt as if they would work better as one.

“Our main goal was to make the LGBTQ community feel more welcome than they do,” Walsh said.

Walsh said the LGBTQ alumni branch has four main goals they hope to meet. They hope to provide mentoring to current and prospective LGBTQ students, recruit LGBTQ students and allow them to see that they are wanted and safe at Ole Miss, establish a scholarship for LGBTQ students and make the LGBTQ community more sociable.

Beard, Cantrell, Whalen and Gibbons all agreed Ole Miss has made progress since the incident, but still has a long way to go.

When the offense was stagnant, it was senior wide receiver Vince Sanders who was able to give the team some momentum. Sanders caught a 28-yard pass and then caught a 39- yard touchdown the next play.

Freeze explained how they were able to get Sanders the ball against Tennessee’s defense that held the Rebels’ offense in check until then.

sports

“They were traveling their best corner on Laquon (Treadwell), and he was doing a good job, and he was kind of mixing up his techniques a little bit, and they did a good job of mixing up coverages,” Freeze said. “We decided to give Vince (Sanders) a shot at the boundary – see if their other corners could be that efficient. Vince was able to win some one-on-ones.”

Sanders finished the game with four catches for 108 yards and one touchdown, the most in the game by both teams. Starting senior quarterback Bo Wallace wasn’t surprised with the success from Sanders.

“I mean he’s going to be Vince,” Wallace said. “Every time he goes out there, he’s not going to drop balls, and he’ll make big plays. He definitely deserves more credit that he gets.”

Wallace explicated on the emotional effect Sanders’ touchdown had.

“I think after we scored that first touchdown, it kind of brought the energy back to us as an offense and kind of brought energy back to the crowd again,” Wallace said. “That was a big drive for us.”

After this touchdown, the Ole Miss offense played better throughout the game.

Meanwhile, the defense didn’t need anything to jump-start them, as they played lights out the entire game, giving up zero total rushing yards to the Volunteers. The pass defense also played well, picking off Tennessee senior quarterback Justin Worley three times, giving the Rebels 15 interceptions on the season, which ties them for first in the entire NCAA. Two players who were vital to

the defense’s success that night were senior cornerback Senquez Golson and freshman defensive end Marquis Haynes. Golson was able to intercept two passes, which gives him seven total, good for second in the nation.

“He’s been in the right place at the right time; he’s played technique so well,” defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said of Golson’s performance.

“He’s done a great job for us.”

Haynes was also instrumental in stopping the Volunteers’ aerial attack, getting two and a half of the team’s seven sacks on the day.

“It’s hard to block him,” Wommack said of Haynes. “He’s got all that speed on the edge, and people don’t realize he’s a lot stronger than what he is.”

Freeze also praised Haynes.

“Marquis Haynes, I think, gets better every week. He plays

the game with speed off the edge that’s certainly SEC quality, and he’s very physical,” Freeze said.

“Hopefully, he’ll gain some weight before his sophomore campaign, but he’s doing pretty well in our third down packages for us for sure.”

Wommack gave a little more insight into how the defense played so well.

“There was a huge mismatch with our D-line and their O-line,” Wommack said. “They couldn’t run the ball, and every time they tried to throw it down the field very far, we were on top of them and were getting pressure on them, so it makes it tough on a quarterback.”

With this win in the books, Ole Miss will next travel to Baton Rouge to take on the 24thranked LSU Tigers.

Movie Review: ‘The Book of Life’ COLTON HERRINGTON Cjherri1@go.olemiss.edu

Rating: A-

“The Book of Life” is as full of life as the title suggests, and it has the laughs and heart to prove it.

From director and animator Jorge Gutierrez and a coalition of producers including Guillermo del Toro, “The Book of Life” is a beautifully crafted addition to the animated genre and quite possibly the best animated film of the year.

What is truly unique about this film is the subject matter. Never before has a mainstream animated film been wholly focused on exploring the colorful folklores and mythologies of Mexican culture, specifically the Day of the Dead and all the supernatural forces involved.

With most American audiences only experiencing Mexican culture when they go out to eat on Sundays, “The Book of Life” could have failed in engaging an unfamiliar audience. However, under Gutierrez’s perceptive direction, the film strikes the perfect balance between uniqueness and familiarity.

The film begins in a museum where guide Mary Beth (voiced by Christina Applegate) takes a group of stereotypical millennials to a room dedicated to Mexican culture.

In honor of it also being the Day of the Dead, she shows the skeptical teenagers the Book of Life, which contains every story ever told. To reach the teens in a meaningful way, she tells them the story of Manolo, Maria and Joaquin, acting as the film’s narrator.

The actual story begins in

San Angel, Mexico – which the film declares as the center of the universe – and begins with a love triangle between guitar playing bullfighter Manolo (voiced by Diego Luna), beautiful and headstrong Maria (voiced

by Zoe Saldana) and athletic and tough Joaquin (voiced by Channing Tatum). Snuffing out any hopes of real puppy love, Maria is sent away by her father to study abroad in Spain.

Meanwhile, Manolo struggles with being forced into

ba, ruler of the Land of the Forgotten, make a wager regarding the love triangle.

La Muerte bets that Manolo will win Maria’s heart, and Xibalba guarantees Joaquin will emerge victorious. The winner gets to rule the Land of the Remembered forever, which would basically be hosting a fiesta every day.

The loser gets banished to the dusty, dark Land of the Forgotten permanently.

Maria’s return to San Angel sets the events of the film into motion. Manolo and Joaquin both try to woo her in their respective ways – singing and being a douche, respectively – and as Xibalba realizes Maria is falling for Manolo, he intervenes by killing Manolo, making Joaquin her only suitor by default.

The story progresses under Mary Beth’s guidance, with the transitions from Manolo in the underworld, Maria and Joaquin in San Angel, La Muerte and Xibalba everywhere, to the museum flowing naturally rather than feeling choppy. In fact, the film is paced perfectly.

However, the pace is not why “The Book of Life” works so well. The film works because it manages to

be charming, funny and aesthetically pleasing all at once.

But most of all, the film finds harmony in being relatable and whimsical. The human struggles of the characters are surprisingly authentic and serve as a counter to the fantastical, imaginative forces in the film.

The film is also beautifully animated; the Calaveras and other hallmarks of Mexican art are readily infused into every scene. You’ll actually feel like you’ve been transported to San Angel, and you’ll be wanting a sugar skull tattoo to commemorate the visit.

My favorite aspect of the film, though, is the soundtrack. Yes, the fundamental mariachi influence is present, but the filmmakers also incorporate Latin-inspired covers of “I Will Wait”

by Mumford & Sons and “Creep” by Radiohead. And if you’re a fan of westerns or Quentin Tarantino, you’ll also hear a rendition of some classic Ennio Morricone.

If you’re a fan of animated films, “The Book of Life” should definitely be the next one on your list. So, unless you want to end up in The Land of the Forgotten, go see this film.

bullfighting (it’s the family business) when he actually just wants to perform, and Joaquin rises high in the military. But upon Maria’s return years later, the triangle quickly forms again.

Rather than sticking with conflicts of the heart, the film goes one step further by tossing in supernatural elements on a fated Day of the Dead when the three main characters are children.

Hot blooded La Muerte, ruler of the Land of the Remembered, and leery Xibal-

Ole Miss basketball starts season with Square Jam JIMMY ANDERSON

jbander2@go.olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss men’s and women’s basketball teams participated in the third annual Square Jam on Friday night.

“What a great time it is to be an Ole Miss Rebel,” said men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy, speaking to the crowd before the start of the event. “I hope we can continue the momentum that Hugh (Freeze) and his team have created around here.”

Six brand new players for the men’s basketball team and eight new players for the women’s side made their de-

but on the Ole Miss hardwood.

Square Jam represented the start of a new season for Ole Miss hoops.

Kennedy mentioned how excited he was for fans of Ole Miss hoops to see these new faces and to see the potential and skill that these players can bring to the court.

“I think it’s good for our guys to kick off the basketball season, even though we have been practicing for a couple of weeks,” Kennedy said. “I appreciate the effort the university puts in to acknowledge the work put in by both the men’s and women’s teams.” Women’s basketball coach Matt In-

sell, who experienced Square Jam for his second year, was really excited for his players to be part of it.

“The girls really enjoy it more than anything,” he said.

“This is for them. This is what it’s exciting for them having a good time.”

The Square Jam was kicked off by a skills challenge, resulting in junior Gracie Frizzel knocking off freshman Keira Golden on the women’s team.

The 3-point competition involved four teams, with the teams of Gracie Frizzel and LaDarius White advancing to the final against Terrence Smith and Toree Thompson.

Frizzel and White went on to win a close final by the score of 27-25.

The excitement began with everyone’s favorite event: the slam-dunk competition.

Contestants Stephan Moody, Roderick Lawrence, Dwight Coleby and John Crnogorac attempted to wow the crowd.

Moody and Lawrence advanced to the final round, where Moody won with some crowd- pleasing dunks to take home the crown.

Andy Kennedy is fond of this event and hopes his players can feel motivated going forward into the season.

“It’s a jump off; it is a good

encourager,” he said. “We are in the grind day in and day out, and this is a good reminder that basketball season is right around the corner.”

“It’s exciting. I like it a lot, “ senior newcomer M.J. Rhett said. “At my old school, we didn’t do anything like this; it’s a big difference here, and I like it.”

The Ole Miss men’s and women’s teams open up the season Nov. 14. The women’s team plays against Grambling at 11 a.m., and then M.J. Rhett and the men’s team follow up with Charleston Southern at 6 p.m.

Rebel soccer drops physical battle to Gamecocks COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Gamecocks got off to a quick start, and the Rebels were unable to come up with an answer on Sunday as Ole Miss (7-5-4, 2-3-3 Southeastern Conference) fell at South Carolina (11-4-1, 4-3-1 SEC) by a score of 2-0.

The Gamecocks got a pair of goals – one on a penalty kick – in the first eight minutes of play, and the two teams played an even battle the rest of the way as South Carolina picked up the victory over the Rebels.

Ole Miss fired off nine shots to the Gamecocks’ 10, but the visitors couldn’t find the back of the net in the final match of a road swing that saw the Rebels not playing a home match for three weeks.

“It was a tough match today between two teams who really battled,” Ole Miss head coach Matthew Mott said. “Give credit to South Carolina for scoring two good goals, and their defense is very organized and tough to break down. We’re excited to get back home to Oxford this week and play a match at home for the first time in almost a month. We just have to get back on the practice field and get the team ready for

Goalkeeper Kelly McCormick shoots the ball and scores in a game earlier this season. our next match on Friday.”

South Carolina got off to a quick start, putting the ball in the goal in the second minute of play. The Gamecocks brought the ball down the near side of the field and connected passes through the middle before sophomore midfielder Lindsey Lane found the net on her shot from 15 yards out in the box.

Sophomore midfielder Chelsea Drennan and midfielder and forward junior Raina Johnson sent the ball through the Rebel defense to find Lane for the shot.

The lead grew to 2-0 after a collision in the box between the Ole Miss goalkeeper and South Carolina’s Drennan resulted in a penalty kick; the Rebels’ senior Kelly McCormick came out to make the stop and collided with Drennan in the air, resulting in an injury to the Gamecock player and a foul on McCormick.

lined up to take the penalty kick for South Carolina and converted, giving the Gamecocks the twogoal lead eight minutes into the match.

Ole Miss got their chance late in the half when sophomore forward and midfielder Addie Forbus made a nice turn on the far side of the field and dribbled into the box to fire a shot. The ball was deflected by freshman goalkeeper Abbey Crider but not controlled. A Rebel went down on a collision trying to strike the loose ball in the box, but

it was cleared by the Gamecocks for a throw in the 39th minute.

A foul outside the box a minute later set up another free kick, but again, the service was cleared.

Ole Miss got its third solid opportunity in the 43rd minute of play after sending a dangerous ball into the box, and again the Rebel striker was taken down, resulting in a clearance of the ball as Ole Miss’ possession came up empty again.

The squads continued the physical and aggressive play in the second half with Ole Miss applying offensive pressure early in an effort to find the net. The Gamecocks turned away each attack early before countering with several dangerous offensive possessions through the next few minutes.

The Rebels’ backline and McCormick proved to be up to each challenge, turning away the attacks to keep Ole Miss in striking distance, but the offense couldn’t find the goal to break the lid off the net as South Carolina picked up the shutout victory.

Ole Miss will return to action on Friday night, hosting the Missouri Tigers at 7 p.m. at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium before returning to the road to face Vanderbilt in the final road-match of the regular season on Sunday afternoon.
