Social media clash sends Oxford officer to Gainesville ISABELLA CARUSO

igcaruso@go.olemiss.edu

A “friendly” Twitter feud between the Oxford Police Department and the Gainesville Police Department caught national attention and earned one officer a surprise visit to Gainesville.

The feud between the two police departments started on Saturday after Ole Miss defeated Vanderbilt and received press from national sites such as NBC Sports, Fox Sports, ESPN and Sports Illustrated.

“Oxford threw the first blow,” said Ben Tobias, public information officer for the Gainesville Police Department.

Tobias has controlled the GPD Twitter account for three and a half years. The GPD account has gained over 800 new followers since the rivalry began on Saturday evening, and several students and other followers have participated in the on-going conversation, spreading the word through retweets, favorites and replies.

“We are having so much fun with it,” Tobias said. “It’s a nice, friendly rivalry.”

Even though the feud has taken on a playful tone, Tobias said that some Twitter users do not agree with the way the GPD and OPD are using their accounts.

Tobias said a GPD follower reached out to them about the lack ILLUSTRATION: CAROLINE CARROWAY of professionalism displayed on These are some of the tweets featured in the ‘feud’ between Oxford Police Department and Gainesville Police Department conthe social media site. cerning this Saturday’s game against the Florida Gators.

vs.

“Some people follow us solely for public safety warnings, and we have to respect that,” Tobias said.

Lt. Hildon Sessums and Maj. Jeff McCutchen run the OPD Twitter account. They said the account was created in order to communicate with the citizens of Oxford in an efficient way.

McCutchen and Sessums said feuding with rival police departments will not be a regular occurrence.

“This has been a fun week,” Mccutcheon said. “The tweets between GPD have helped us as law enforcement to show our human side.”

According to OPD, their staff was brought closer together through this experience.

Justin Kyle Tanner, 2015 Ole Miss Graduate, partook in the Twitter battle.

“With the current outlook on police, this is a really great way to create a positive interaction between cops and the community.”

Tobias said he thinks the feud has brought positive light to the police community.

“We’re humans behind our badges,” Tobias said. “It is especially hard to show that with the way police are viewed in our culture currently.”

Tobias said the GPD’s last words to OPD once the feud is over will be, “I’m never gonna give you up, I’m never gonna let you down.

Never gonna run around and desert you.”

Campus Recreation adapts for students with disabilities MORGAN WALKER

Ole Miss Outdoors is coordinating with Student Disability Services to provide more inclusive and adaptive recreation experiences for participants with disabilities in order to make the program more accessible. The multi-faceted organization was originally created in order to expose more students and community members to the outdoors.

Ole Miss Outdoors Assistant Director Shannon Richardson said the group’s primary short-term goal is to discover methods to make the program more accessible to those who might have varying disabilities or need some type of as-

sistance. Richardson’s said the primary focus for OMOD is water sports such as kayaking and canoeing.

“We’re beginning the conversation of getting some training in that area to really improve our program,” Richardson said.

The American Canoe Association, offers an adaptive paddling program that allows organizations to seamlessly incorporate individuals with physical disabilities into outdoor recreational activities.

The implementation of this program will allow people of all abilities to participate in water sports in a safe and comfortable manner and with the same performance as all other participants, Richardson said.

Richardson said she is looking forward to incorporating these initiatives into the OMOD program.“We want to make sure we’re being inclusive,” Richardson said. “Our focus is providing more programs that allow us to be more inclusive.”

OMOD, located in room 110 on the bottom floor of the Turner Center, offers a myriad of opportunities for students and community members to soak up all nature has to offer.

The organization offers everything from adventure trips and ropes courses, to outdoor equipment rentals and access to hiking trails.

‘Mississippi Poverty’ won’t help poverty CECILIA CRIDDLE

Try searching Mississippi on Netflix. What are your results?

“The Blind Side?” “The Help?”

What else?

Documentaries. Piles of them.

Stacks. Towers.

A hot trend in the world of the pop documentary is the tale of Mississippi Poverty. I type that with double capitalization because it refers not to Mississippi poverty, which surrounds us, saddens us and moves us to whatever action we can find to help. Mississippi poverty is the little girls in church that wear the same dresses every Sunday.

It is lines at the WIC office; it is schools struggling to stay out of the red and fathers struggling to feed their families. It is ordinary, daily, mundane. It is communities attempting to do the best that they can, neighbors and strangers alike struggling to know how to help. Mississippi poverty is as old as Mississippi itself.

Mississippi Poverty is not mundane. It is sensational. It is inevitably based in race and race alone, and it is painted with the biggest, boldest strokes the director can envision. I will not contest the parallels between Mississippi Poverty and Mississippi poverty. Both are a desperate struggle to stay afloat. Both are based in reality, and both are intensely moving. The difference, though, is that Mississippi Poverty ends when the camera crew leaves.

Sure, the documentary will circulate in progressive circles in New York and Los Angeles, and sure, those who see it will see a call to action, a call to change.

But a week will pass, new responsibilities will come up and the documentary about the great Poverty of Mississippi will fade into a distant, “Oh, I meant to donate to XYZ Foundation!”

Mississippi poverty, on the other hand, will not end any time soon. For Mississippi poverty, a few hundred more people at-

continued from page 1 taken adventure trips all over North America such as trekking the Rio Grande, kayaking through the Florida Keys and dog sledding through the snow-covered mountains of Canada. The trips allow participants to travel and experience the outdoors at a reduced cost.

Accompanied by trip leaders, certified in wilderness first aid, participants can expect to engage in activities ranging from white water rafting to rock climbing and bouldering.

James Gledhill, OMOD trip leader, said that this organization strives to provide an alternative atmosphere that focuses on allowing participants to get out of their comfort zone and explore the outdoors.

“At OMOD, we all have a common passion, we want to share the outdoors and just get people outside,” Gledhill said.

“The fact that we have something like this on campus for students who want to participate in the outdoors is pretty cool, because you get to do things you normally wouldn’t do and see places you normally wouldn’t see.”

According to Richardson, the program encompasses more than just teaching people how to pitch a tent.

“Our intent is to help people get out and live. It’s as simple as that,” Richardson said. “We want to take folks that normally don’t find their way into the back-country wilderness and help them be able to experience that in a safe, fun environment.”

Richardson is pleased with the current state of the program; however, she is eager and looking forward to expanding their facilities and improving the program. The University is contributing to this expansion through the development of a new campus recreation center on the south side of campus, which is expected

to be completed in 2018.

This new center will provide OMOD with a larger opportunity for growth, offering a larger space for in-house training clinics, backcountry kitchen classrooms and an indoor rock climbing wall. According to Richardson, this new facility will help aid OMOD’s efforts in exposing the Ole Miss community to outdoor recreation.

“That’s the number one thing people ask is when the climbing wall is coming,” Richardson said. “That’s something they can do on a daily basis, because it’s readily available, and it’s something to connect back to the outdoor program without actually taking a trip.”

Senior psychology major Andrew Whitehorse likes the fact that no one is excluded from participating.

“It’s nice that anyone can participate,” Whitehurst said.

“A lot of students go on OMOD trips, and it’s nice to hear what they have to say because a lot of them don’t have these kinds of opportunities. Who would have thought that going camping would lead to learning a new culture?”

Banned Books Week workshop held at J.D. Williams ZOE MCDONALD

zkmcdona@go.olemiss.edu

It seems hard to imagine actually living in the type of society that Ray Bradbury writes about in his famous dystopian novel “Fahrenheit 451” where books are banned and burned. Though banned books in America are not usually burned, they are removed from the shelves of schools and libraries every year.

Banned Books Week brings together communities of readers, writers, publishers and thinkers each year to draw attention to banned and challenged books. This yearly recognition of censorship is meant to educate people on the surprising number of

works that are challenged every year, as well as celebrate the freedom to read and purchase any books they wish.

“It is a time when librarians and educators come together to remind students that censorship is not a good idea for the greater good of society,” said Melissa Dennis, Outreach and Instruction librarian and associate professor at the J.D. Williams Library. “It fascinates and disappoints me each year to learn that books are banned or challenged from schools and libraries across the country because of one person’s individual belief system.”

Dennis is also holding a workshop today to educate

university students about the current state of banned and challenged books in America and how they can work to change it. The first step on the path to change, Dennis said, is to discern the difference between sharing beliefs and imposing them upon others.

“When (forcing beliefs) happens, those people lose sight of freedom of expression and end up focusing on a very singular, narrow point of view that infringes on the author’s rights and the rights of other parents and students who may not find a book offensive,” Dennis said.

According to the American Library Association, their Office for Intellectual Free-

dom collected 311 reports on attempts to either ban or restrict content from schools and libraries in 2014. In the past, parents have usually been the force behind challenges, and these challenges often stem from issues with sex, sexuality, language or violence.

A challenged book is one that someone has attempted to to have removed, whereas a banned book is one that has been actually removed from a library or school.

Book bans are not limited to works about obviously obscene materials.

For example, a middle school in Columbus, Mississippi banned Maya Angelou’s

“I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” because of its “sexually explicit” content.

Rankin County School District banned both Stephen King’s “Cujo” and Harper Lee’s classic “To Kill a Mockingbird” by cause of “profane and sexually objectionable” content.

“One of my favorite books, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee has made the ‘Most Frequently Challenged Books of All Time’ list due to ‘racism,’ which I find ironic,” Dennis said.

She said, for a couple of years, the “Captain Underpants” series was banned for allegedly encouraging chil-

An integral part of the Ole Miss football team that hasn’t received much buzz this season is special teams and, more specifically, the field goal unit.

Sophomore kicker Gary Wunderlich has been almost like clockwork this season while hitting six of his seven field goals and all 24 of his extra point attempts. Wunderlich is second on the team in total points scored this season with 42, second only to junior transfer quarterback Chad Kelly who has scored 78 points this season.

Wunderlich was pleased with how the field goal unit has performed so far this season.

“I’ve felt pretty good. I’ve felt like the operation time has been pretty fast. This past game we got one blocked,” Wunderlich said. “It was a little bit slow-

of kicking a field goal, but it’s the mental aspect that makes a kicker great. That’s what Wunderlich has been working on before and during the season, the mentality of the kicker position.

“I’ve been working on mental stuff, just being consistent,” Wunderlich said. “The biggest thing Coach Freeze says is just we have to have the same kick every time. That’s been my biggest thing.”

In high school, Wunderlich kicked field goals and handled the punting and kickoff duties as well. While he still does some punting in practice, Wunderlich has solely been used to kick field goals, but he said that he appreciated being able to give the extra focus to his field goal kicking. Wunderlich felt that this extra focus helped him get much better at kicker than he was in high school.

“I think mentally I wasn’t as strong back in high school, and I think that coming here and being here for a year and half now has really helped me,” Wunderlich said.

er than it has been in the past couple of games. We need to fix that, but I’ve been hitting the ball pretty well.”

The blocked field goal during the Vanderbilt game last Saturday caused Wunderlich’s only miss of the season.

“Some guy kind of split the snapper and the guard, got a lot of pressure up in the middle and got the block,” Wunderlich said.

The field goal unit saw a major change this year after long time long-snapper Will Denny, who started at the position for four years, graduated and was replaced by junior Will Few. “At first it was a little bit different. Denny did such a great job last year. Every snap was great, but I think Will has done a great job and especially with the past couple games,” Wunderlich said. “The defense has had a lot of pressure up the middle. They’ve been coming at

Harrison leads Ole Miss soccer with ‘high energy’ CHRISTOPH LUDWIG

csludwig@go.olemiss.edu

As “300 Violin Orchestra” pulses through the loudspeakers, the Ole Miss soccer team readies for their pregame introductions.

They stand in two even lines and face each other.

Off to the side is senior midfielder Olivia Harrison.

As the public address announcer introduces a team member, the player tosses an autographed miniature soccer ball into the crowd, then runs to perform a personalized handshake with Harrison.

Harrison salutes Jennifer Miller, pretends to take a selfie with Liza Harbin, throws a fake punch at Addie Forbus who ducks under it, then shakes Harrison’s hand.

“The handshakes are a tradition,” Harrison said. “It got passed down through the years.”

The players then run back through the lines and head to the center circle to greet the referees and the opposing team. The Rebels head back to the sideline where they form a circle around Harrison, and she fires them up, yelling encouragement.

“It’s something we’re trying to focus on in that game,” Harrison said. “It can be as generic as ‘let’s play as hard as we can for 90 minutes’ or it can be specific like ‘let’s focus on our finishes.’”

In addition to handshake and

Harrison’s teammate, Jessica Hiskey, can speak to Harrison’s leadership qualities.

her presence,” Hiskey said. “She really has the ability to pump energy into everyone and have us come out with a lot of intensity.”

Once the game starts, Harrison plays with the same intensity she uses to pump up her team, starting every match for the Rebels in 2013 and 2014. Her role this season has been as a substitute, coming off the bench in each of the nine games she’s played, but her impact is still felt.

“It was difficult at first, but I think it’s a good fit for me and the team,” Harrison said.

against UCF to help send the game to overtime in a 2-2 draw.

“I have so much respect for her,” Hiskey said. “It’s a hard role to deal with after being basically a three year starter, but I think she’s adjusted pretty well.”

Harrison finished the 2014 season tied with Forbus for the team lead in goals with seven, including a hat trick against Minnesota that led the team to a 3-2 double overtime victory.

“Olivia’s work rate is fantastic,” Mott said. “There’s nobody that works harder than her. People may be able to match her, but no one’s going to beat her based on how much effort she puts in. She’s an important piece for us.”

Mott said he is looking for Harrison to keep up her high-energy ways for the rest of her senior season.

“We’d like for her to continue doing what she’s doing, which is be a contributor and be someone that helps us continue to play well,” Mott said.

backs are as good as you’ll see.

The whole defense is very talented. They can run, and they tackle well. And it’s just one of the better defenses in the country.”

Freeze gave an update on the Rebel’s offensive line, where junior center Robert Conyers, sophomore guard Rod Taylor and senior guard Justin Bell are all dealing with injuries.

“We don’t expect to have Justin Bell as he hasn’t been able to practice yet,” Freeze said. “Rod is going to go. He’s looked better; he’s going to give it a shot for sure. There’s some things he’s really good at and others he’s still coming along, but he’s definitely better than he’s been. Conyers is going to gut it out.”

The team is also missing junior husky Tony Conner, who recently had surgery after tearing his meniscus against Alabama. Defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said sophomore A.J. Moore and freshman Zedrick Woods have done well replacing him.

“I mean they’re not Tony because they don’t have the experience, but I thought they did some really good things in the game and rose up at the right time,” Wommack said.

Wommack broke down the Gators offense which performed well in a big comeback against Tennes-

see last week.

“They’ve got speedy receivers, a good back, and they’re starting to play with confidence at 4-0,” Wommack said.

The Gators’ offensive line seems to be a bit behind the rest of the offense, as it has already given up eight sacks this season.

“I think being young is the issue for them right now,” Wommack said. “I think there’s some talented guys in there. They had two freshman start, and everybody knows what that’s like. But I have seen them improve from game one to game four, so I think they’ll continue to get better each and every week.”

Wommack said he felt that Florida’s freshman quarterback Will Grier is a great fit with the offensive line because of his ability to scramble and get outside the pocket.

“When you can come back two touchdowns with four-anda-half minutes left in the game, something is going right for you,” Wommack said. “Again I think the combination of the quarterback, the receivers and the running back makes them dangerous because they can score quickly, obviously, and we have to do a great job down there in the swamp.”
