Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee defended attacks on Congress and continued his campaign to repeal “Obamacare” Thursday in a debate with the Democratic challenger Brad Morris at The University of Mississippi’s Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics. The candidates were questioned by a panel of local journalists including Emily Le Coz of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, Jon Scott of the Oxford Eagle, Sandra Knispel of Mississippi Public Broadcasting and Jennifer Nassar of The Daily Mississippian. “I’m not going to try to defend Congress,” the Tupelo native said in response to the assertion that Congress was less popular than both Paris
Hilton and the IRS. Morris, who spent most of the night reminding the crowd of Nunnelee’s record, said blaming Congress is too easy. “I’m willing to work with anybody anywhere to get things done for North Mississippi,” Morris said. Both candidates played it close to the party’s vest when talk of the budget came into play Nunnelee said he didn’t want to raise taxes, and Morris played in favor of the “Warren Buffett rule.” “We’re spending 42 cents out of every dollar we spend to borrow money,” Nunnelee said. “We cannot sustain that. The problem isn’t that our taxes aren’t high enough. The problem is Washington continues to spend way too much on every dollar to borrow money.” See DEBATE, PAGE 3
Rebels meet Hogs in Southeastern Conference clash The Ole Miss Rebels will travel to War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark., this Saturday to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks with bowl implications for both teams. BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu
Heading into year one in the Hugh Freeze era, there were relatively low expectations for the play on the field, but coming off their bye week, the Ole Miss Rebels (4-3, 1-2 SEC) will make the trip to Little Rock, Ark., to face the Arkansas Razorbacks (3-4, 2-2 SEC), as they look to take another step forward in their quest to become bowl eligible. This weekend’s matchup will be the 59th meeting between the two teams, with Arkansas leading the overall series 31-26-1. However, the Rebels hold the advantage in Little Rock with a 7-6-1 record in War Memorial Stadium. “We’re very excited about coming off of the open week,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said in his weekly press conference Monday. “We’re
trying to go get ready to play Arkansas in Little Rock. We’re just excited to get back on the field. That is a place that is very difficult to play, and they’ve been very, very good there. They’re playing with great confidence right now. They’re coming off of two wins, both of which both sides of their ball and special teams played really well.” The Rebels will be faced with a big test in trying to stop a high-powered Arkansas offense that is loaded with NFLcaliber weapons, including senior quarterback Tyler Wilson, who leads the SEC in passing yards per game (326.2 ypg), and senior wide receiver Cobi Hamilton, who leads in receiving yards per game (107.7 ypg). “He can read coverages,” defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said of Wilson.

I mean, really though, who didn’t laugh at Joe Biden’s derisive reactions during the vice presidential debates? Probably Republicans, now that I think about it, but if you’re not a Republican, I bet you were having a grand time. When Obama or Romney make snarky remarks to each other, my friends and I start laughing because we’ve finally got a glimpse of how enraged these candidates are at each other for spreading so many lies over the last eight months. Incivility makes candidates human. Some people would say that mudslinging and name-calling are just a sign of how far the level of political discourse has fallen in the last 60 years or so. We are told that our Founding Fathers were eloquent, dignified gentlemen who dealt solely with high-minded issues like the nature of human rights and the morality of rebellion. I T H E D A I LY

would like to counter that with “Jefferson is the son of a halfbreed Indian squaw raised on hoe-cakes.” Well that escalated rather quickly, didn’t it? That quote comes from one of Jefferson’s political opponents who felt the need to call into question the racial heritage of one of our most distinguished Founding Fathers. Surely Thomas Jefferson, the primary author of our beloved Declaration of Independence, would rise above such dirty campaigning. “John Adams is a hideous hermaphroditical character with neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.” Evidently not. Call an ambulance; John Adams got burned. This is the height of incivility. This is far worse than anything you’re going to hear from Obama or Romney this election season. But tell me you didn’t laugh. Tell me that next time you read something written by ol’ TJ, you won’t remember this and smile a little bit.

Really, though, to those who believe that we’ve only recently gotten down in the mud during political campaigns, I must disagree. The Federalists painted Jefferson in the election of 1800 as much worse than the Republicans are painting Obama right now. They said that were he elected, “Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes.” That’s a pretty heavy charge to levy, and you would never hear something like that today. In the election of 1864, the Democrats printed a poster alleging that if Lincoln won again, they would have “universal anarchy and ultimate ruin.” Again, baseless accusations. These kinds of politics would never be tolerated today. There is no basis for these claims. Media Matters would have been all over Democrat George McClellan’s presidential campaign if they existed back in the day.

We have significantly raised the level of political discourse, in fact, if only because we have access to vast databases of quotes and voting records of our candidates these days. I long for the days when we could hear people calling a presidential candidate “a Creole b---ard brat of a Scotch pedlar.” (They were talking about Alexander Hamilton, by the way.) Tell me you wouldn’t buy The New York Times if that were on the front page every day. Politicians could singlehandedly save print journalism if only they were to start talking like this again. Before we complain about disregard for moderators and eye-rolling during debates, perhaps we should take a step back and employ a historical perspective and examine how we have evolved past the 1800s.

DEBATE,
continued from page 1
Morris said he was in favor of allowing (former president George W.) Bush’s tax breaks on people earning more than $250,000 per year. Nunnelee promoted his stance against the Affordable Health Care Act, an issue that has appeared to be his main focus after he held a Town Hall in Oxford in 2011 where he took questions on healthcare. “I voted to repeal Obamacare, that’s progress,” he said. Morris admitted he wasn’t in favor of the act either, but didn’t completely throw it under the bus. “The easy political thing for me to do is say I’m against it and throw it under the bus,” Morris said. “But it’s the only real effort at health care reform in my lifetime and I’m not willing to go back to doing nothing.” Both candidates agreed on several issues throughout the night, including illegal immigration and the district and nation’s most important need: job growth. The first-term congressman defeated incumbent Travis Childers two years ago. Morris, a small business owner served as the chief of staff and senior advisor to Childers. Nunnelee and Morris are joined on the Nov. 6 ticket with the Constitution Party’s Jim Bourland of Columbus, Libertarian Danny Bedwell of Columbus and the Reform Party’s Chris Potts.
UM faculty create device to help stutterers Three University of Mississippi faculty members have created a device to help people with stutters. Funding for the prototype came from a Technology Commercialization Initiative grant from the Division of Technology Management. BY TAYLOR DELANDRO tjdeland@go.olemiss.edu
Three University of Mississippi researchers have created a device to help those who stutter enhance their speech. With assistance from a senior-level design class, a prototype of the mechanism was developed. Patent rights have recently been licensed to Hyperion Technology Group, which will continue developing the device as a commercial product. Electrical engineering professor Paul Goggans worked alongside Greg Snyder, associate professor of communication sciences and disorders, and Dwight Waddell, associate professor of health, exercise science and recreation management, to develop the device. The researchers began creating this apparatus shortly after Snyder, a stutterer, showed Waddell that when he felt his throat, he was able to decrease his stuttering. “When I felt my thyroid cartilage vibrate when speaking, my stuttering frequency was significantly decreased,” Snyder said. Waddell approached Goggans about turning this idea into a prototype; Goggans agreed and turned it into a design project in one of his classes. Although the device has not been named yet, two of
the researchers have their own names for it; voting will possibly be done for one of the names of the device. Snyder votes to call it, “Paul’s Wonder Box,” while Goggans said he usually refers to it as the “UM Stuttering Prosthetic.” The apparatus has been turned into a prototype with funding from a Technology Commercialization Initiative grant from the Division of Technology Management in the UM Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. “The goal of the Division of Technology Management is to transfer technologies such as this one to commercial partners so the public can benefit from the outstanding research being done at Ole Miss,” said Walt Chambliss, UM director of technology management.
COURTESY PAUL GOGGANS
Ole Miss professors Greg Snyder, Paul Goggans and Dwight Waddell have created a device to help people who stutter speak more fluently.
Snyder said the prototypes continue to advance. “It’s smaller, lighter, better, and we look forward to mak-
ing improvements relative to how it’s worn and how it will provide the tactile feedback,” Snyder said.

Southeastern comedians flood Oxford with laughter
BY PHIL McCAUSLAND thedmopinion@gmail.com
PHOTOS COURTESY THE SOUTHEASTERN COMEDY ARTS ALLIANCE
Members of the LAFF Co. comedy troupe perform.
It’s been a long semester. Exams, papers and the much-hated group projects seem to all be stacking up. During these periods of extreme anxiety and sleeplessness, it’s necessary to have a good laugh. Luckily for you, there is a good opportunity for some chuckling this weekend. Improv groups and stand-up comedians from as far as Lafayette, La., and as close by as Tupelo will invade the Powerhouse Community Arts Center for the Southeastern Comedy Arts Festival (SECAF) tonight and Saturday. There will be multiple events where you can finally release some of those tears of joy that you’ve been holding back. Bruce Butler, director and coordinator of SECAF and member of Oxford’s improv group, Laff Co., explained the
purpose of the weekend. “The festival is for member groups of the Southeastern Comedy Arts Alliance (SECAA) to promote the comedic arts in the area and show the diversity of comedy through the performances of the variety of its members,” he said. “You get together with people who have ideas you haven’t seen or had and get to perform with people outside of your troupe,” said Carolyn Free, a member of Laff Co. and SECAF participant. There have been five festivals throughout the Southeast over the past six years, and Free said it’s been fun to share the comedy. “Performers know how fun it is, but it’s really fun to watch,” Free said. “And it’s not nearly as fun when people aren’t there to join in.” For you, the viewing public, there are multiple events to attend, which means there will

be multiple chances for you to guffaw with your fellow Oxonians. First, tonight at 8 p.m. will be the Comedy Jam performance. This will involve all the visiting improv groups. They will be divided into two teams and will participate in a competition-style improv game with a referee and a superfluous point system. There will be a plethora of events Saturday. From 10 a.m. to noon and from 1-3 p.m., SECAF will be hosting a comedy workshop. Each workshop has 20 seats open for interested Oxonians to take. The workshops will be run and hosted by George Faughnan and Travis Sharp of the Atlanta improv group Dad’s Garage. Together, Faughnan and Sharp have almost 40 years of experience performing and teaching comedy, and they will be valuable resources for anyone interested in getting started in comedy or continuing to perform. Saturday night there will be two improv shows at 8 and 10 p.m., respectively. Unlike Friday’s shows, these will have the improv groups perform independently of one another. Peppered between the improv groups will be stand-up comedians, who will also be participating in the festival. The first show is open to all ages and comedic dispositions, but the second should be a little edgier. So for those folks with children or a low tolerance for adult humor, go to the 8 p.m. show. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Butler said. “It’ll be a good opportunity to see other improv groups from the area, as well as stand-ups.” Admission to the shows does cost a little money, as traveling for these improv groups is not free. It is $7 for each show and $15 for a weekend pass, which includes all three performances. “People need to laugh,” Butler said. “There’s so much going on in the world: elections, the economy, etc. It’s good to get together and have a good time.”

Four Downs: Ole Miss Rebels vs. Arkansas Razorbacks In this week’s edition of Four Downs, The Daily Mississippian football beat writers Bennett Hipp and Matt Sigler, sports editor David Collier and managing editor Austin Miller answer four questions regarding the week’s matchup. 1. How does Ole Miss respond coming off a bye week?
Bennett Hipp (@bennetthipp): I would expect Ole Miss to respond well, knowing that Saturday’s game against Arkansas is a key swing game for its potential bowl chances. The Rebels appear to be a team that enjoys playing on the road, which will bode well for them in a tough environment. Matt Sigler (@SigNewton_2): I think they respond well. With the extra week to rest, get their legs back under them and study Arkansas, I think Ole Miss will come out and execute their game plan well and have a solid game. David Collier (@DavidLCollier): I think Ole Miss will have a sluggish start, particularly on offense. However, I expect them to pick up momentum heading into halftime and play a really crisp second half of football. Austin Miller (@austinkmiller): I think Ole Miss responds well coming off a bye week. The Rebels are playing with a lot of confidence after getting that elusive conference win against Auburn, and I look for that to translate to Saturday’s game. Arkansas is the same way after back-toback wins against Auburn and Kentucky going into a bye week. It’s an important game for both teams as far as bowl consideration because, for the
loser of this game, it gets that much harder to get to six wins. 2. With a game of two high-powered offense, which defense makes more of an impact in the game?
Hipp: I don’t expect either teams’ defense to do much, but I think Ole Miss’ defense has the better chance to make a key stop or force a key turnover that could shift the score in what could be a shootout. The Rebels have had one of the more opportunistic defenses in the conference, and while turnovers don’t necessarily correlate from game to game, they are the defense with the better chance to positively affect the game. Sigler: I’ll say Ole Miss. Arkansas lost two key senior linebackers to injury and is also ranked near the bottom in every defensive statistical category. Ole Miss’ defense is playing with a lot of energy and heart at the moment and I believe they will get some stops in the clutch. Collier: I’m going to say Ole Miss. The Rebel defense has shown more promise of stopping a high-powered offense playing well against a tough Texas A&M offense for all but the last five minutes of the game, while Arkansas has only shown signs of life on defense against the two worst offenses in the SEC in Auburn and Kentucky. Miller: I expect the Ole

Miss defense to make more of an impact because of its ability to create pressure and force turnovers. Arkansas is without two of its starting linebackers, and I look for the Rebels to take advantage of that on the ground with running backs Jeff Scott and Randall Mackey. 3. Arkansas has a lot of talent on offense. Will it be tougher for the Ole Miss defense to contain the rushing or passing attack of Arkansas?
Hipp: It’s the passing attack, no doubt about it. The Razorback passing attack ranks 15th in the country in yards per attempt at 8.4. Arkansas also has weapons such as wide receiver Cobi Hamilton, who averages over 16 yards per catch and has four touchdowns on the year, and the return of tight end Chris Gragg, who is one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the SEC. Sigler: The passing attack for sure. With an NFL-caliber quarterback in Tyler Wilson and a big play receiver in Cobi Hamilton, the Rebels will have a lot on their plate in stopping those two. Collier: I think they will have a bigger problem than people think stopping the run. In 2010, Knile Davis ran for 179 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries, and if he can get going, it could be a big day for him. Miller: Ole Miss has improved a lot in generating

pressure and pass coverage. With that said, I think stopping Knile Davis, Dennis Johnson and Ronnie Wingo remains the bigger challenge with an undersized front seven and other teams’ success on the ground against Ole Miss.. 4. What is the key to Ole Miss getting the win over Arkansas Saturday?
Hipp: In a game that has the potential to be a shootout, Bo Wallace and the Ole Miss offense has to continue its trend of taking care of the football. Arkansas has some confidence built back up, and committing turnovers to give Tyler Wilson the ball back is an easy way for the Rebels to lose a very winnable game Saturday. Sigler: The key to the game will be whether or not Ole Miss can exploit the Razorback’s 14th ranked pass defense in the SEC and whether or not they will able to go vertical against them. Collier: Play with the lead. Ole Miss is 4-0 when they score first, and 0-3 when they don’t. In a game that could be a shootout, it’s important to get off to an early start. Miller: I have alluded to it, but the key to the game is taking care of the ball. Bo Wallace has improved and done a much better job of doing just that. A lot of teams have had success on offense against Arkansas, and that can certainly continue on Saturday. BARTENDING $250/ Day Potential No Experience Necessary.

“He can understand what you’re trying to do with your defense. He knows where to go with the ball, and he has great presence on the field. I don’t think he gets flustered.” Arkansas, however, will be without senior linebackers Alonzo Highsmith and Tenarius Wright, who are out with injury. Highsmith led the team with 54 tackles and Wright added 28 of his own before being injured. Despite the losses, Freeze believes the Razorback defense will provide a tough test. “Any time you lose leaders, there is some transition that happens,” Freeze said. “But they seem to have really rallied around each other in that time and no question they have improved the last few weeks.” The Rebels will be led by sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace, who ranks eighth in the SEC in passing yards per game (195.9 ypg), and junior running back Jeff Scott, who ranks fourth in rushing yards per game in the SEC (93.7 ypg). Although the matchup appears favorable, offensive coordinator Dan Werner knows that adjustments will have to be made mid-game for the Rebels to continue to move the ball on offense. “We always try to find things,” Werner said. “They are sound and well-coached, so it’s not like we say, ‘Hey, we know we are going to be able to do this.’ As the game flows, you hopefully run a few plays and see this guy is cheating this way, so we come back with something else, but it is a constant chess match during the game.” The Rebels and Razorbacks will kick off Saturday at 11:21 a.m., and the game will be televised on the SEC Network.

Third-down defense The Rebels’ defense has consistently improved throughout the season, but one part of the game where they still struggle is third-down defense. On the year, Ole Miss ranks 91st in the country in opponent third-
down conversion percentage, allowing opponents to convert almost 44 percent of third downs. In losses to Texas, Alabama and Texas A&M, all three teams converted at least 58 percent of their third-down chances. In the Rebels’ win against Auburn, the Tigers converted just 33 percent of third downs.
Arkansas has converted only 36 percent of third downs offensively this season, but with quarterback Tyler Wilson and a suspect Ole Miss pass defense, there will be plenty of chances to improve that number. Keeping third-down conversions to a minimum and getting Wilson off the field are vitally important for Ole Miss’ chances of winning Saturday. Disrupting Wilson Sticking with the defensive theme, finding a way to make things more difficult for Tyler Wilson will be the main task for defensive coordinator Dave Wommack. The Arkansas offensive line has only allowed eight sacks on the year, but teams have also managed to record 25 quarterback hurries, meaning it’s certainly possible for Ole Miss to put pressure on Tyler Wilson. Whether it’s by rushing the passer or disguising coverages in the secondary, the Rebels
will have to do something to get Wilson out of the rhythm he’s been in lately. Rowdy in Little Rock Ole Miss handled a raucous atmosphere well in its one true road game of the season in Tuscaloosa against Alabama, and the Rebels will be tasked with doing that again in Little Rock. Historically, the Razorbacks have played well in War Memorial Stadium, and even though it’s not their home venue, it should hold a pretty loud crowd for what is a key game for both schools. The experience in Tuscaloosa will help Ole Miss, but how the Rebels’ young players handle another rough crowd in a potentially close game is somewhat of an unknown. Early success on both sides of the ball would go a long way toward making it an easier place to play for the Rebels. Take care of the football In what could be a shootout, Bo Wallace and the Ole Miss offense have to focus on letting the big plays come as they may, instead of trying to force them to happen. Ole Miss can’t afford to be careless with the ball trying to keep up with opposing offense, as taking care of the football and keeping the offense on the field are the best ways to ensure a good performance against Arkansas. Wallace has improved a lot in that regard in the last couple of games, but the Rebels have also employed a more conservative game plan during those contests. This will be the first true test of Wallace’s decision making in a high-scoring, back-andforth game, if that is what comes to fruition Saturday.

OLE MISS SID
Rebels fall to MSU in double overtime The Lady Rebels will return to action against LSU in the first day of the Southeastern Conference Tournament on Monday at 6:30 p.m. in Orange Beach, Ala.

Junior forward Rafaelle Souza
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Despite coming early in the game, an own-goal proved to be the costly one on Thursday night as Ole Miss (12-8, 5-8 SEC) fell to Mississippi State (9-10-1, 2-10-1 SEC) by a score of 3-2 in double overtime. The Rebels fell behind 2-0 early in the second half off an own-goal and goal from Mississippi State’s Elisabeth Sullivan – the first of two goals for the junior on the night. Sullivan also hit the golden goal in the second overtime period in the 104th minute to give the Bulldogs the win. The match was dominated by the Rebels for most of the contest as Ole Miss out-shot the Bulldogs 22-to-8 on the night. Sara Coleman sparked the rally and got the Rebels on the board in the 78th minute when she took a deflection off a free kick from Mandy McCall and put it back in the net. McCalla took the shot on a free kick following a Mississippi State foul and it was stopped by the keeper, but the ball bounce in the box and a charging Coleman squared up the shot and buried it in the net. It was the third goal of the season for Coleman, a freshman from Laurel. The Rebels tied the match at two in the 80th minute when Souza took a ball in the box off a service from McCalla on the far side and headed it past the keeper to even the score at two. The Rebels couldn’t muster a third goal in the overtime period to claim the win as the game went into a second overtime period before Mississippi State would pick up the win.
