The Election Reform Task Force will host its first forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday night in Bishop Hall 209, where students are invited provide input on how to improve the campus elections process.

Former Associated Student Body Attorney General Katherine Sistrunk is codirecting the task force with Leah Davis, co-director for inclusion and cross-cultural engagement for the ASB. The task force was created shortly after Sistrunk’s resignation and aims to address concerns of Greek organizations’ influence on ASB elections. Sistrunk said she resigned in part because of a belief that candidates who are backed by National Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council organizations are afforded benefits that non-Greek affiliated candidates are not.

“As a member of (the

Greek) community, I have benefited from this system and I have been provided these advantages,” Sistrunk said in a statement announcing her resignation. “By publicly acknowledging this, I believe that we can reform this culture to be more inclusive and work to make student elections more equitable.”

The Daily Mississippian reported this year that ASB and personality election candidates are not required to disclose who donates to their campaigns. Most candidates in this semester’s personality elections were backed by their respective Greek organizations.

“The task force has been working hard these past few weeks to come up with ideas on how to best improve our election process, and we are excited to see how our ideas can collaborate with other students’ ideas,” Sistrunk and Davis wrote in an email to The Daily Mississippian. “We hope

Alumni offer advice to students at Bridging The Gap LENNIS BARLOW

THDMNEWS@GMAIL.COM

Ole Miss students heard from a panel of five successful alumni at the Student Alumni Council’s 14th annual Bridging The Gap conference on Friday.

Bridging The Gap is a forum organized with help from the Ole Miss Alumni Association to “bridge the gap” between current and former Ole Miss students. Through an hour-long Q&A portion and an hour-long networking program, students heard the accomplishments, experiences and advice of some of the university’s impressive graduates.

This year’s panel consisted of five notable alumni across a broad spectrum of career fields.

Erik Fields received his Master of Business Administration from the university and is currently the director for production operation at Nissan USA. Fields is the representative for overall equipment effectiveness for all production systems of the Canton vehicle assembly plant. He encouraged students on Friday to use internships to further their understanding of potential career fields.

“Get out and co-op an internship as much as you can,” Fields said. “You need to understand what field you are about to step into. You may find that something you think you want really badly is actually not what you thought it was at all, and I’ve seen that many times.”

Wells Adams, a broadcast

journalism graduate from Nashville, co-hosts the podcast, “Your Favorite Thing with Wells and Brandi,” with Brandi Cyrus. Adams is best known as a contestant on ABC’s reality show “The Bachelorette” and his current bartender role on “Bachelor in Paradise.”

Kailyn Aertker graduated from Ole Miss with a degree in business administration.

She has worked for IBM in a variety of sales roles for nearly a decade and is currently a software client leader.

Leon Collins also received a degree in business administration and is the current CEO of MINACT Inc., a Mississippi-based contractor which supports the U.S. Department of Labor’s Job Corps Program.

COLUMN

Privatize, reduce, create: The silent crisis BRANDON BROWN

THEDMOPINION@GMAIL.COM

The United States is currently $21 trillion in debt and counting, making it the country with the most debt in the world. The only other body that comes remotely close to the United States’ debt is the European Union, which is composed of 28 other countries.

At the federal government’s current rate of spending, we can expect the debt to increase by over $1 trillion per year — and that rate is only set to grow. Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and defense spending comprise the largest items budgeted for the federal government.

Currently, Medicaid and Medicare cost over $1 trillion to fund yearly. This spending is followed closely by Social Security at a figure of $986 billion per year, and the third highest budget item is defense spending at $667 billion, which is budgeted for $716 billion per year.

In the short term, deficit

spending actually benefits citizens. It stimulates the economy and provides subsidies for certain industries which provide job security for millions.

However, in the long term, the effects are catastrophic.

The higher the debt increases, the less the U.S. dollar is worth. The cost of everything rises as the value of the dollar plunges, retirement isn’t guaranteed through Social Security and interest rates will continue to surge which also increases the deficit even further.

The solution is a difficult one and will likely be unpopular.

Unfortunately, it comes down to two choices — drastically raise taxes or drastically cut spending. Republicans can’t campaign on raising taxes, and Democrats can’t campaign on reforming and cutting social benefit programs. With that said, there is only one solution that would work — a compromise.

First, legally mandate that everyone must buy health insurance starting at birth. By

doing this, the government could shut down Medicaid and Medicare altogether and, instead, subsidize it.

This would evenly spread the expenses of the program to all taxpayers. By requiring everyone to buy healthcare and allowing the government to subsidize low-cost health plans, we would cut waste and lower the cost of healthcare overall by introducing competition among providers.

That said, there would also be less need for the massive amount of government manpower required to operate the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) which would save billions in taxes.

Next is Social Security.

The first solution would be to make it illegal for the government to remove funds from Social Security. Second, a person should not be able to withdraw from Social Security unless they pay into it.

Third, a person can’t qualify for Social Security until he or she turns 70 years old.

retirement, this new rule would only apply to people under 60. These relatively small changes to Social Security have the capacity to shave billions in program costs.

The short list of solutions is as such: privatize and subsidize medical insurance for all Americans and eliminate the Medicare and Medicaid program, reduce defense spending by 10 percent and create a retirement-account style Social Security system that only pays out to the people who paid in.

During the Q&A portion of the event, the panel’s advice focused on internships.

Cruck said internships are valuable to students because “you can get so much valuable information, and you will learn so much more than you could from any classwork.”

Another topic many of the panel members agreed on is that the largest change they see on campus today is the growing diversity of the student body.

ASB holds inclusion meeting for minority organizations MADISON HYATT

The Associated Student Body held a meeting for its Inclusive Community Initiative on Friday, a new council created to increase awareness of minority organizations on campus and foster an environment where those organizations can discuss issues and cultivate connections.

This was the second meeting of the council, and members of the Black Student Union and the UM Pride Network were present in addition to members of other campus minority organizations.

Paola said she also believes the initiative has the potential to be successful.

“I think when we start to include each and every person of every identity, we have a better opportunity to learn about things in a safe space,” Paola said. “I definitely think that we’re starting to go in the right direction.”

According to Miller, communication is an important step for bettering student relationships on campus.

“I think that today we learned that it seemed like communication, not just within ASB, but with student organizations and different opportunities we have on campus definitely could use some revamping,” Miller said. “Today, I think that we learned that we should advocate for new ways of increasing communications.”

The next Inclusive Community Initiative meeting will take place on Nov. 16.

minority awareness, the council will aid in improving relationships between all student organizations, ASB President Elam Miller said.

“I think in the past few years, a lot of people have the opinion that ASB isn’t the most inclusive or that it isn’t actually representative of the entire student body,” Miller said. “We want to take steps to change that. We held this meeting today in order to take steps to make sure that all members of the university family are having their voices heard.”

Sarahfest show includes historical poems, soul and rock ELIZA NOE

THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM

Thacker Mountain Radio and the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies partnered last night to host a radio show together as a part of this year’s Sarahfest, an annual month-long celebration of women and their accomplishments.

Held at Rowan Oak, friends of the Isom Center and music fans alike gathered on the lawn to watch female artists showcase their work.

After Thacker Mountain Radio host Jim Dees opened the show with house band the Yalobushwhackers, he introduced the three performers.

First was singer-songwriter Tasche de la Rocha. Donning a steel guitar, she and her bass player serenaded the audience with three of her ‘50s-style rock singles. One of the songs, “Puppy Dog,” will be on her new album.

After de la Rocha, Dees welcomed Ashley M. Jones, a published poet, Birmingham native and founder of the Magic City Poetry Festival. A teacher at the Alabama School for the Arts, Jones said that she always looks for new material amongst her students.

“There are so many new poets today speaking on different issues, and I love that,” she said.

“I’m not a dead white guy, so I can’t relate to Shakespeare.”

Jones recited five pieces of her poetry, and four out of the five appear in her new book “dark // thing.” Her final poem of the night was a haiku based on the Children’s March in 1963.

Jones said she gets inspired by historical events and the

“A lot of my poems are historical,” she told Dees. “I think often we see emotions as flat, but emotions are multifaceted, especially anger… I try to put that into my poetry.”

Julia James, a sophomore public policy leadership and journalism major, said she attended the radio show after her sister invited her.

“I grew up coming to arts events like these,” she said. “In a lot of ways, you get to see a whole new perspective from the artists, especially the poetry.”

Hope Clayburn’s Soul Scrimmage, a classic funk band featuring saxophone, bass, drum set and a jazz flute, was the final

performer of the night. Led by soul singer Hope Clayburn, the band played a trio of funky jazz that encouraged audience members to dance until the end of the radio hour.

Theresa Starkey, associate director of the Isom Center, said the event was a success.

“It honestly couldn’t have gone any better,” Starkey said. “I’m very grateful that I have such great community partners that come together with us to create something like this.”

This event kicks off the last week of Sarahfest. On Tuesday night, Effie Burt will play a concert in Nutt Auditorium, and there will be queer studies lectures on both Thursday and Friday this week.

Alumni author to read from final book in trilogy tonight ZACH HOLLINGSWORTH

THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM

Dana Chamblee Carpenter, an Ole Miss alumna and professor at Lipscomb University, recently completed her award-winning paranormal thriller series, “The Bohemian Trilogy,” with the publication of “Book of the Just.” Carpenter will present the series’ final installation tonight at Off Square Books.

The trilogy mixes mysticism, suspense and historical fiction inspired by 13th century Bohemia and chronicles the journey of the main character, Mouse, to discover who she is.

The journey for self-discovery leads Mouse on a quest of guilt, temptation and redemption.

Behind these works of magic and mystery is the author, Carpenter. Although now an accomplished author and professor of creative writing

and American literature in Nashville, Carpenter was once a graduate student at Ole Miss.

“When I was at the university, I was newly married, working on a Ph.D. in American literature and teaching two classes a semester as a grad student living on a stipend,” Carpenter said. “Life was voraciously busy and ridiculously poor. But it was also full of riches, some of which I was able to appreciate back then, some I only later came to value.”

She described fond memories of Square Books, the authors she met there and the teachings passed down from her English professors.

“Square Books was an oasis for me and many of the English grad students. … For the first time, I came face-to-face with authors who would talk about their process, their struggles, the twists and turns they took on their way to publishing,” she

said. “Real people. Real writers.

Right in front of me. That’s when I started to dream again.”

When discussing how she balances her passion for creative writing and her career in academia, all while being a mother of two, she humorously explained that the process is a bit more complicated than

focusing on one thing at a time.

“Because life is so full …, every minute counts. I’ll intentionally leave a part of a scene dangling at the end of a writing day so I can play with it the next day when I’m driving home from campus or cooking supper,” she said.

“I build playlists that align

with characters—listening to them eases me back into a book when I’ve been away. …

All of these ‘tricks’ let me hit the ground running when it’s writing time.”

To those students aspiring to become writers themselves, Carpenter urges them — despite the cliche — to not give up.

“Some days the blank screen will mock you. Or your day, eaten by all the other obligations in your life, will taunt you,” she said. “You’ll think about how easy it would be to give it up. Don’t do it. Don’t quit. Breathe a bit. Fill your well with something childlike and fun. Then turn back to your characters and let them whisper their stories to you.”

Carpenter has returned to Oxford and will be at Off Square Books tonight to sign and present the final book in “The Bohemian Trilogy.” The event starts at 5 p.m.

Volleyball splits weekend matches with Florida and State JAKE DAVIS

THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM

The Ole Miss volleyball team played two matches this weekend, losing to No. 11 Florida on Friday night before defeating Mississippi State on Sunday.

In the first match of the weekend, the Rebels fell to Florida 1-3 (25-20, 21-25, 21-25, 15-25).

It was the Rebels’ second loss to Florida this year after losing on the road in Gainesville on Sept. 21 in their SEC opener.

In a competitive first set, Ole Miss faced a 12-14 deficit before going on a 9-1 run to take a commanding 21-15 lead.

The Rebels took advantage of Florida’s miscues and junior Emily Stroup’s strong hitting, eventually closing out the set 25-20 on a kill by sophomore Leah Mulkey. Stroup recorded an impressive eight kills in the set, coming out of the gates hot.

Both teams battled back

and forth in a second set that included seven lead changes and 14 ties. Florida finally broke away late, ending the set on a 5-1 run in which the only point they surrendered came on a service error. Stroup and junior Nayo Warnell each recorded three kills in the set.

Florida controlled the final two sets of the match, as the Rebels could not manage to get a lead in either set. Stroup finished with 20 kills on a .115 hitting percentage, also recording 15 digs, two assists and one ace. Sophomore Lauren Bars recorded a match-high 37 assists, also contributing 14 digs, five kills and a block.

In the Sunday game, Ole Miss defeated Mississippi State 3-1 (18-25, 25-21, 25-18, 25-18) in the only matchup between the rivals this season.

The Rebels struggled early against the Bulldogs, falling into 15-9 deficit. They managed to put together a meager run late in the set, bringing the score to 20-16

before the rally was derailed by back-to-back attack errors. Sophomore Bayleigh Scott had a strong performance in the set however, putting up five kills and a block.

In the second set the Rebs learned from their earlier mistakes and did not allow themselves to get into a hole, jumping out to an 17-10 lead. Mississippi State battled back however, going on an 11-5 run to bring the set to within one. The Rebels got back on track with a kill from Stroup

and a block from Mulkey and Scott. A Bulldog error ended the set and drew the match to 1-1.

The Rebels would not look back from that point, winning the final two sets handily, extending their winning streak against State to three games. Stroup finished the match with 17 kills on a .308 clip.

Scott had an impressive performance, putting in a career-high 15 kills on a .519 hitting percentage to go along with five blocks. Senior Caitlin Wernentin recorded

The Rebels will be on the road next weekend, facing Auburn on Friday and Alabama on Sunday.

They will hope to put together a winning streak as they near the halfway point in conference play sitting at 12-11 on the season.

Rebels take Magnolia Cup following win over Bulldogs CHANCE ROBERTSON

THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM

Ole Miss fought Mississippi State in the battle for bragging rights in the state on Sunday night, coming out on top with a final score of 2-0 in the Magnolia Cup. Rebel soccer came into this game on the back of a convincing 2-0 win against Kentucky on Thursday. With the win against Mississippi State, the Rebels are now 5-3-1 in SEC play and 11-6-1 overall.

Ole Miss started the game slowly, giving up four shots to the Bulldogs in the first 10 minutes. Morgan McAslan made two saves in the opening 25 minutes and four in the first half to keep the game scoreless. Ole Miss had three shots to State’s six in the opening half of play.

The last shot from the Bulldogs forced a jumping effort from McAslan to keep the ball from

the upper corner and the game level at 0-0.

The opening 10 minutes of the second half featured slow paced, back and forth play, but only had one shot and one save.

In the 63rd minute, Ole Miss had a shot on net from a header following a freekick.

CeCe Kizer got the game rolling with a 67th-minute goal from a counter attack. Sophie Dineen played her through and Kizer used her pace to beat the defenders, and slotted the ball into the side netting to give Ole Miss a 1-0 lead. It was Kizer’s 13th goal of the season, which leads the Rebels.

“We came into the second half with the mentality that we needed to put one away, and we knew offensively we could really attack them ... and we just didn’t stop,” Kizer said.

by Lonnie Mulligan. Little lofted the ball over State’s keeper who got a finger to it, but the shot still went in after deflecting off the post. It was Little’s second goal of the season.

“I backed off the defender and gave myself space, and then it was such a great ball from Lonnie, I was just in the right place, and I’m glad I was,” Little said.

McAslan made an additional

four saves in the second half to preserve her second career clean sheet. The final shot totals for both teams were 10 shots for Ole Miss and 18 shots for Mississippi State. Coach Matt Mott was proud of his goalkeeper’s second straight clean sheet.

Ole Miss falls to Auburn in sloppy offensive performance JOHN MACON GILLESPIE

THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM

The Ole Miss offense was stagnant and the defense faltered in the Rebels’ 31-16 loss to Auburn on Saturday.

In a game many had projected the Rebels to win, Ole Miss failed to score a touchdown until nearly the two-minute mark in the fourth quarter. Phil Longo’s offense stalled in the red zone multiple times in the first half, and the Rebels had to settle for field goal attempts.

“The main story of the day is pretty obvious, when you get in the red zone you have got to find a way to score a touchdown,” head coach Matt Luke said. “Also, I thought that our ability to run the football really hurt us at times. Give Auburn a lot of credit. They are really good on defense.”

Offensive coordinator Phil Longo saw his offense’s lack of execution early on in the red zone as a key factor that hurt the Rebels on Saturday.

“There are no excuses,” Longo said. “We had some poor execution in the red zone or in the fringe just outside of the red zone that stalled some drives. Those are things that we just have to get done to get a good start. We felt like we needed a good start against Auburn and settling for the field goal instead of the touchdown is not what we wanted to do early on.”

Although the Rebels only trailed 10-6 at halftime, both Luke and Longo were disappointed during the intermission because of missed opportunities from the offense.

“We had more (opportunities) to get some points and have a lead before the half, and we didn’t do that,” Longo said. “We shouldn’t have entered halftime at 10-6. We had an opportunity to be ahead in that ballgame.”

Although the Rebel defense held Auburn to just 10 points in the first half, the Rebels lost momentum in the second as the Tigers scored three touchdowns to pull away late

Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu tries to evade an Auburn defender on Saturday. Auburn won the game 31-16. . in the game. “(Our team) kept battling and battling, and the dam just finally broke,” Luke said.

“They battled back in the fourth quarter, but the three scoring drives back to back were because of too many explosive plays.”

Defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff said he believes the defense’s struggles in the second half came from not being physical enough.

“You can’t come out in the second half and give up those

two explosive plays,” McGriff said. “If you take those plays out, we’re still in the ballgame, and we take (Auburn) to the fourth quarter.”

Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu, along with the rest of the offense, struggled to find a rhythm throughout the course of the game, but finished 27 of 46 passes for 324 yards and one touchdown. The Auburn front seven also bottled up running back Scottie Phillips for just 60 yards on 17 carries.

ing with 79 yards on 19 carries.

Both the Rebels and the Tigers now sit at 5-3 overall and 2-3 in SEC play. In its three SEC losses this season, Ole Miss has averaged 13 points per game. The Rebels are off next week before hosting South Carolina on Nov. 3.

“We’re definitely going to get back and get up off the mat,” wide receiver A.J. Brown said. “It was a tough loss, but we have an open date, and we’re going to be ready for South Carolina.”
