Preferred Chancellor candidate to visit campus today

Jeffrey S. Vitter, selected by the state college board as the preferred candidate for Chancellor of the University of Mississippi, speaks with Michelle Wheeler a first year medical student at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Wednesday, Oct. 28 for the job.

The Institutions of Higher Learning preferred candidate for the University’s new chancellor, Jeffrey Vitter, will be visiting with campus constituency groups today in the Inn at Ole Miss ballrooms. The college board announced

Vitter as the preferred candidate for chancellorship on Oct. 19, and according to University public relations director Danny Blanton, the outcome of the constituency groups will determine whether Vitter will be the next person to fill the void left by the termination of former Chancellor Dan Jones’ contract. “Our campus constituents have

the opportunity to meet Dr. Vitter as our preferred candidate and for him to have the opportunity to get to know each of them,” Blanton said. “He’s very excited about the opportunity to meet everyone not just to receive questions from them, but also have an opportunity to have a personal interaction with as many of them as he can. He’s looking forward to shaking

their hand and introducing himself.” Vitter, a native of New Orleans, is the provost, executive vice chancellor and the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas. Vitter met with several hundred faculty, staff, students and alumni Wednesday afternoon at the University Medical Center. Sessions were held in

the UMMC student union to give Vitter the opportunity to describe his vision and core values to each of the constituents. “It was very informative, and the faculty, staff and students were very engaged,” said Dr. LouAnn Woodward, UMMC vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the University of Mississippi School of Medicine. “He was very confident in answering questions, and he showed a high level of energy, passion for education and a commitment to excellence. I was impressed by his academic credentials, and I look forward to the good things that can happen.” Blanton said even though there are designated times for each constituency’s session, the University encourages students and faculty to come to any session that is convenient for them. After all sessions meet, IHL will hold a board meeting to decide if they think Vitter is a good fit for chancellor. A press conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. today in which the college board will announce their final decision. “This is a very important position for our campus,” Blanton said. “We’re excited to have someone with credentials and the impressive background that Dr. Vitter has and we would like our campus community to come see and get to know him as well.”

University of Southern Mississippi removes state flag Another public university in Mississippi is stopping the display of the state flag on campus because it contains a Confederate battle emblem many see as divisive. University of Southern Mississippi President Rodney Bennett on Wednesday ordered the state flag removed from the main campus in Hattiesburg and a branch campus on the Gulf Coast. He said USM will only fly the U.S. flag because it’s a unifying symbol. “While I love the state of Mississippi, there is passionate disagreement about the current state flag on our campuses and in our communities,” Bennett said in a statement. “I am looking forward to a time when this debate is resolved

and USM raises a state flag that unites us.” His action came two days after the University of Mississippi’s interim chancellor, Morris Stocks, ordered the state flag removed from campus in Oxford. Stocks acted after student and faculty senates adopted resolutions seeking removal of the flag at Ole Miss. There have been no similar resolutions at USM, where three flagpoles near a busy street now fly U.S. flags. The display previously had the U.S. flag in the center, flanked by a state flag and a blackand-gold USM flag. The Hattiesburg American posted photos of people holding signs on campus Wednesday to support and oppose removal of the state flag. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, a

USM alumnus, has said he thinks universities should fly the flag. State law, however, does not require them to do so. “I think that if you’ve got a publicly funded institution like that, they should be respectful of the people of the state,” Bryant said Tuesday in response to questions about the flag being removed at Ole Miss. Since 1894, the Mississippi flag has had the Confederate battle symbol in the upper left corner — a blue X dotted with 13 white stars, over a red field. Mississippi voters chose to keep the flag in a 2001 election, after a series of public hearings in which people PHOTO BY: ROYCE SWAYZE argued over whether the flag repThe American and state flags fly on Ole Miss campus earlier this month. resents heritage or hatred.

The down low on “the down low” TERRENCE JOHNSON tjjohns2@go.olemiss.edu

You know, it really grinds my gears that there is no true form of acceptance at this University or any part of the world. That is, if you’re also a part of the LGBTQ community. Well, of course, we are accepted within our own community, but in the layers that surround us, we still aren’t as accepted as I think we should be. People around the world are exclusively and profusely excluded and ostracized if they are human enough to accept and be proud of whom they are in reference to their sexuality. Because of this, there is a profound number of people who are “down low” and are only interested in male-onmale contact as it pertains participating in an SEC sport, shaking hands to close a busiTHE DAILY

The other majority only see us as filth, inhumane mockeries of ourselves, our families and our cultures. Some of us aren’t even given the chance to be cordial, yet we are categorized as wimps and sissies. Very few collegiate organizations and professional businesses provide a place of true equality.

Ugandan pediatrician advocates for global change MORGAN WALKER

mlwalke4@go.olemiss.edu

The president of the Uganda Pediatric Association is working to spread awareness about her current legislation working to end preventable child and maternal deaths worldwide. Rebecca Nantanda spoke to the members of Rebel Global Connections, Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and the Croft Institute of International studies on Wednesday. The University was just one stop on Nantanda’s national advocacy tour to promote her campaign. Nantanda was inspired to partner with RESULTS Global Grassroots Expansion, a non-governmental organization aimed at tackling poverty and global issues. More than 6 million children die of preventable diseases before reaching their fifth birthday annually, meaning 11 children die each minute. According to Nantanda, 25 percent of the Ugandan population lives on less than $1 per day. “It’s not so much about building hospitals and using advanced technology and training,” Nantanda said. “It’s about creating simple, affective, sustainable and have high-impact interventions that will ultimately save lives.” In Uganda, Nantanda has implemented a preparation kit for mothers, a Maama Kit, which promotes a clean child delivery. The kit includes simple supplies like gloves, plastic sheet and soap, cotton which are often inaccessible to a typical Ugandan mother. Nantanda said her main goal for this initiative is to see the Reach Act passed because it has the potential to affect every mother across the world. “I would like to see the voices of people everywhere being heard and the bill being passed,” Nantanda said. “Every mother will benefit from being as part of

Advocacy Chair of RGC John Chappell has been working closely with both RESULTS and Nantanda to spark a debate among students and get them talking about something that is bigger than themselves. “It all connects back to local programs,” Chappell said. “We can really make a difference, we can affect global change even though we are just undergraduate students and I hope people take up the call of action.” Nantanda encourages young people to get involved with this advocacy movement and believes it is never too early to make a change globally.

Halloween is right around the corner, and if that isn’t frightening enough, some of us procrastinators have no idea what costume to don. But never fear, there is still time to put something together. Not only will these DIY costumes go easy on your budget, you’ll be able to throw them together in no time.

1. BASIC OLE MISS GIRL

Some girls are pegged as “basic Ole Miss girls,” and some poke fun at the “basic girls,” who are known for a certain style of dress and choice of accessories. What’s more fun than pretending and exaggerating this notion for one night? Just add Uggs (preferably the sequined or animal print),

leggings, any kind of top from Victoria’s Secret PINK(or an XXL T-shirt), and bring along the biggest Starbuck’s cup you can find. Take hundreds of selfies all night and Instagram the best one using, like, a thousand different filters and tags, of course.

2. A PINEAPPLE

Pineapples were super trendy for some reason this summer, so keep the trend alive this Halloween. Put on a yellow dress, light colored shoes (white, nude or yellow work the best), and DIY the green stem using construction paper, a toilet paper roll (paint it green first!), a headband, and some hot glue. Prepare to hear the pickup line “If you were a fruit, you’d be a fine-apple” for the rest of the night.

3. FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

Not the actual Christian Grey, more like 50 different shades of the color. Put on grey pants (sweatpants are acceptable), any type of grey shirt, some grey shoes, and walk into Walmart, Home Depot, or any kind of store that sells paint swatches and grab as many grey samples as you can. Take them home and cover yourself head to toe with the paint swatches. Super easy, punny, and most likely a costume that will be a huge hit with the movie’s fans.

4. NERD

Time to embrace your middle school self. All you need is khaki pants (or if you have plaid, that’s a million times better), a button down shirt buttoned all the way up, a bowtie, and suspenders. Throw on a pair of thick-rimmed glasses with

crunch tape in the middle if you’re feeling extra nerdy. Roll up the bottoms of your pants because showing your ankles is the true nerd thing to do. Nobody will know this costume didn’t take much effort at all, so A+ for faking it.

5. THREE BLIND MICE

Thinking of doing a group costume? Are two of your close friends also scrambling last minute to find something to wear? Put on some black dresses, black shoes and sunglasses. Find a cane at your grandparent’s house, throw on mouse ears (easy DIY: headband, some hot glue, and either fuzzy material or black paper) and you are good to go. Draw on some whiskers and black noses, and you’ll be blinded by how easy and cute your costume is.

6. HUNTER AND DEER

Have a significant other? Can’t find something that you’ll both like? This costume is incredibly easy for girls and for guys. The deer typically consists of brown bodysuit, but all brown clothes will work if you don’t have a spare bodysuit lying around. Cut out some fuzzy fabric for the stomach and the tail, pick up some antlers, and search Pinterest like crazy for makeup ideas. (Trust me, there’s about 1,000 ways to craft the perfect “deer in the headlights” face.) Guys have it even easier. Throw on your favorite hunting gear, a hat or binoculars if you have them. If you’re really into Halloween and making your “deer” happy, put on some face paint to really give off the hiding hunter vibe.

7. 101 DALMATIANS

A costume meant for one or 101 of your closest friends. Third wheeling to the Square? You can all be Dalmatians and nobody will know you’re the awkward one out. Dress in all white and paint black spots all over yourself and the clothes. (Black construction paper dots also work well if you plan on wearing your white clothes again.) Craft some fuzzy ears using furry fabric, hot glue, and a headband, or make an enormous white bow that can pass for ears. Life won’t be “ruff” if you use this last-minute costume. Whether you’re going to the Square, a hall crawl, or just hanging out with friends, Halloween is the one night where you can be something completely different, so have fun with it!

Ole Miss soccer to host senior night against Vanderbilt CHRISTOPH LUDWIG

csludwig@go.olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss soccer team’s great season continues as their winning streak stretched to five games over the weekend, defeating Tennessee and 19thranked Texas A&M on the road. Ole Miss beat the Volunteers for the first time since 2003 and became the first team to beat the Aggies at College Station in 17 games. The Rebels moved up one spot to No. 12 in this week’s National Soccer Association of America rankings and rocketed to 15th from 25th in the Top Drawer Soccer rankings. Ole Miss also clinched at least the third seed in the SEC tournament and put themselves in the conversation for a top 16 national seed in the NCAA tournament. “For once at this time of year, we feel comfortable,” Matthew Mott, Ole Miss head coach, said at his weekly press conference. “Our RPI right now is 15th, which is great, and we will have a good chance at being a seeded team. That gives us a good chance of hosting.” Freshman forward CeCe Kizer scored three goals on the weekend, including the game-tying and game-winning goals against Texas A&M. Her

performance earned her SEC Freshman of the Week and National Player of the Week honors from ESPNW and Top Drawer Soccer. Kizer is the only player this season to be named SEC Freshman of the Week

game against a powerful Texas A&M offense. Ole Miss closes out their regular season schedule and will honor their seniors tonight against Vanderbilt at 7 p.m. at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium.

“This senior class has been really special to changing the culture of the program,” Mott said. “We want to send them out the right way.” The Commodores come into the game at .500, 7-7-4, but have defeated 17th-ranked South Carolina and could do the same to the Rebels if they don’t take them seriously. Vanderbilt is in a tight race with Kentucky and Tennessee to earn the final spot in the SEC tournament, so they will be motivated. The Commodores fell to Georgia and Missouri last weekend, but previously had gone on a five-match unbeaten run. “We will be playing a Vanderbilt team that is fighting for their lives. They want to get to Orange Beach for the SEC tournament,” Mott said. “They have one of the most dangerous forwards in the league in Simone Charley. We have to worry about her. They are a good team and we need to be prepared.” Charley, a junior, is second in the SEC in shots and game-winning goals. If the Rebels can contain Charley and the offense continues their strong play, they can move their winning streak to six and will have a lot of momentum heading into the SEC tournament next week.

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze addressed the injury status of junior defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche and junior defensive back Tony Conner, on Wednesday. Nkemdiche has been cleared to play by the medical staff and the status of Conner is still day-to-day as he is recovering from surgery on his torn meniscus. “Robert is ready to go. He just has to be symptom-free by game time,” Freeze said. “The deal with Tony is just how is he progressing. He got 12 snaps yesterday. I don’t know how many today. We’ll see how goes the rest of the week.” Freeze told the media that they hope to have an answer on Conner by practice today so they can dress him for the game Saturday with the 70 active players allowed for the game. “It will be either before or after practice where we’ll know his status,” Freeze said on Conner. “It’ll probably be before practice.” Freeze said he has been with senior defensive back Mike Hilton moving to husky to replace Conner and sophomore defensive C.J. Hampton moving to free safety. Freeze said it stabilized the back

I’m a bit hesitant to jump the gun. Hopefully we can build off of that success.” Freeze seemed upbeat heading into the team meeting room Wednesday as he was pleased with the team at practice so far this week. It’s been good week for the football team, as Freeze said the team seemed focused and into preparation.

“It’s been a very good week. The guys seemed very prepared,” Freeze said. “We didn’t get to go outside because we’ve been blessed with great weather, but I’ve been very pleased.” The rainy weather the last couple of days forced the team to practice at the indoor practice facility in preparation for Auburn Saturday morning. Because of the

weather, Freeze had the offense go through wet ball drills to handle the possibility of in climate weather this Saturday. The drills didn’t take long as the offense only went through a couple of drills in practice Wednesday. Ole Miss opponent Saturday, Auburn has been known as an offensive juggernaut ever since head coach Gus Malzahn arrived on the plains in 2013. Over the past two season with former dual-threat quarterback Nick Marshall, the offense has been a force on the ground. Freeze gave praise to the success of the Auburn running game and it’s something that the team has honed in on, while also talking about the passing game. “Typically, they’re one of the best rushing teams you’ll face over the season and they’ve certainly gotten back to that identity,” Freeze said. “Their quarterback has been extremely accurate. He’s thrown it really well, taken care of the football and puts it in the right spot. They’re very balanced.” Auburn might get their star defensive end Carl Lawson back this week after recovering from a hip injury. Freeze took note of the ability of Lawson and said he’s a game changer for the Auburn defense. “There’s no question he’s a phenomenal player,” Freeze said of Lawson. “He’s been a force ever since he was a freshman and if he plays, we’ll have a challenge.”
