4 Greek organizations under hazing investigation LANA FERGUSON EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Four Greek letter organizations are under investigation following reports of hazing, according to Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Brandi Hephner LaBanc. “I can’t speak any further on that right now because

of the investigations, but I can confirm that is the case,” she told The Daily Mississippian on Tuesday evening. Hephner LaBanc said she is happy the issues are being reported. “We’re taking (the reports) seriously, and, frankly, we are happy that people are reporting,” she said.

“We want people to elevate that this risk is occurring so we can intervene quickly and eliminate or drastically reduce those risks, with the goal being elimination.” She said the administration wants these issues to be reported both to take care of the university community and to be used as an educational opportunity to

let people know hazing is not tolerated on campus. “It’s not like this is a new trend. We’ve received reports in the past, but I think that because of the amount of effort that we’ve put into pushing out a clear message, we’re seeing a response to that,” Hephner LaBanc said. Hephner LaBanc said

the university has taken new steps to prevent hazing, including requiring education workshops for potential new members before they went through the recruitment process. The workshops addressed violence prevention, which includes hazing prevention,

‘His blood runs blue and red’: Wilkin named provost MADDIE MCGEE NEWS EDITOR

Noel Wilkin was named provost and executive vice chancellor of the university after serving as interim provost since January 2017. As provost, Wilkin will serve as the chief academic officer of the university and will be responsible for both academic and budgetary affairs. The provost works closely with academic deans and department heads to fulfill academic priorities and missions and plays a large role in the dynamics of the university as second-in-command to the chancellor. In a statement, Wilkin said he is excited to serve the university as provost. “It is the creativity, commitment and dedication of our people that enables us to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and society, and I am honored to have the opportunity to work with them to do this important work,” he said in the statement. Donald Cole, assistant provost and math professor, said Wilkin is uniquely qualified to be the provost of the university. “No one knows more about the academic operations of our institution than Noel,” Cole said. “He has the experience, the temperament, the work ethic and the confidence.” Wilkin’s experience at the university includes roles as interim provost, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, professor of pharmacy administration and research professor in the Re-

search Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Cole said Wilkin’s previous experience at the university will be a huge benefit. “We have avoided a one- to two-year learning curve for a provost by choosing Noel, and we have maintained the quality, respect, integrity and moral leadership expected in a provost,” he said. “No one will be more dedicated to our institution, and no one is going to outwork Noel.” Cole said that becoming provost was naturally the next step for Wilkin and the university can expect big things from him. “His blood runs blue and

red, and he brings a stabilizing confidence to this position,” Cole said. “With Noel, we can expect years of dedicated, forward-thinking, progressive leadership to guide our institution into the next decade.” Rich Forgette, associate provost and interim director of the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies, said the university is lucky to have Wilkin as provost. “Provost Wilkin has great judgment, integrity and vision,” he said. “He brings a wealth of experience to the provost position.

Thanks to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Mississippi is once again vying for the title of “most regressive state in the country.” Last summer, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves issued a 60-page opinion that temporarily blocked the notorious House Bill 1523 from going into effect. Last week, the circuit court decided that discrimination does not violate the Constitution and that this infamous law will be enforced starting Friday. This law is a violation of basic human rights and dignity. It is an all-out attack on the LGBTQ community. It deval-

ues and excludes from society anyone who does not adhere to a heteronormative and evangelical Christian lifestyle. It allows discrimination in hiring, issuing marriage licenses, granting adoption rights, renting, dispensing health care and much more. Foster parents would be able to subject LGBTQ youth to abuses such as the dangerous and medically shunned “conversion therapy,” while state counseling programs could be withheld from LGBTQ individuals, including veterans. Women — this applies to us, as well. Many schools, businesses, health providers (such as Baptist Memorial Hospital) and other groups are now allowed to police our reproductive choices, outfits and lives. Our doctors can legally refuse to prescribe us birth control. Our bosses can force us to wear makeup, pantyhose or high heels. Religious schools can forbid us to wear pants. Our employers can fire us for using birth control or having an abortion. Remember, all the businesses that can deny

service to people can also discriminate against their employees. Even straight men aren’t off the hook. For men and women alike, premarital or extramarital sex can be forbidden. Hooked up with someone out of wedlock? Gotten a divorce? A single parent? Well, someone’s “sincerely held” religious belief can be used against you, too. This unjust and immoral law is a victory for alt-right, regressive hate groups, like the state legislature, and their ringleaders, like the governor. Hopefully, it will only serve to catalyze local resistance. This setback must mean that Mississippians stand stronger in solidarity with each other, that we organize around equality and force our cities and towns to pass non-discrimination ordinances. That we boycott businesses, including national chains like Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby, that do not serve all people regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or any other factor and spread

anti-LGBTQ and anti-woman sentiment. That we force a repeal of this hateful law and push for the passage of policies that promote equality and love for everyone. Perhaps it will also serve to boost sales for the band that rose up in protest a year ago, aptly named F*** Phil Bryant. Its album features songs with lyrics like, “I’m a good ol’ boy/ With a heart of hate/ Heritage is blood/ Smeared all over this state.” Another unlikely beneficiary might just be the Satanic Temple, which has noted that the “religious freedom” defense should apply to it, too. Accordingly, says founder Lucien Greaves, a bakery that refuses to bake a cake for a same-sex couple should instead be obligated to make one honoring Satan. At least this solves our next protest’s playlist and catering problems. Now, let’s organize around the real issues. Jaz Brisack is a junior general studies major from Oxford.

perience gives him a great command of the challenges and opportunities facing higher education.” Forgette also said Wilkin’s ability as an academic leader will be an asset to the role of provost. “He’ll continue the progress made by Provost Stocks to grow the university and promote student success,” he said. Wilkin’s naming concluded a nationwide search that included open forums to interview four finalists. The process began last school year when former Provost Morris Stocks stepped down to return to the faculty of the accounting school. The committee, led by Larry Sparks, vice chancellor for administration and finance, narrowed down a long list of resumes to a smaller number of candidates who interviewed for the position. Four candidates were invited to present in a forum that was open to students, faculty and staff. Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter made the official decision and said in a statement that Wilkin will be a strong and effective leader for the university. “In his 20-plus years with Ole Miss, Noel has built a tremendous track record of success, excellence, collaboration and fostering energetic and innovative approaches,” Vitter said in the statement. “Under Noel’s leadership as provost, the university will see our momentum and academic excellence soar to new heights.”

had a national representative present. Other resources used in the university’s fight against hazing include the LiveSafe app and a form on the umatter. olemiss.edu website through which students can anonymously report cases of hazing. Updates have been made to the event registration process, as well.

“ … You also cannot deny that hazing and high-risk drinking have haunted our organizations and marred the values our organizations claim to uphold. We suspect (and hope) that fear has moved your organizations and our community to a place of action,” the letter reads. The letter said it should serve as a reminder that

quirement came from that. The administration also invited representatives from each of the Interfraternity Council’s national organizations to be on campus during the last few days of recruitment, Bid Day and a few days after. “We were in that critical zone,” Hephner LaBanc said. “We wanted them to be around to reinforce the national policies. We had really good engagement.” Most of the organizations

Last week, the Division of Student Affairs sent out a letter that referenced the student deaths caused by hazing last spring at Penn State and this semester at LSU. “Some people look at Penn State and LSU and think it won’t happen here, but it absolutely could happen here, and that’s what we don’t want to occur,” Hephner LaBanc said. “We want our community to take the safe approach.”

Hephner LaBanc said the university also wants to develop a hazing steering committee by the end of this semester. “I think the thing is for folks to know how serious we take hazing,” Hephner LaBanc said. “We’ve done our due diligence to get a clear message out there, and we appreciate the reports so that we have the opportunity to intervene and keep students safe.”

PODCASTS of the week ETHEL MWEDZIWENDIRA DESIGN EDITOR

Beware: This Halloween season, I’ll be featuring some eerie podcasts. Each week, podcasts will be centered around a different theme that will make your hairs stand up. From crime narratives to investigations, I’ve compiled a list of the strangest, creepiest and most addictive crime-related podcasts this week. Turn off your lights and grab your headphones. Here are some of my scariest favorites:

Sword and Scale

The Black Tapes

If you’ve listened to “Serial,” then this might be a new personal favorite for you. “The Black Tapes” is a biweekly fictional docudrama hosted by Alex Reagan and voiced by Lori Henry. It’s a mixture of paranormal activity, ghosts and “Criminal Minds” all in one episode. Regan takes listeners on a quest for truth into her subjects’ mysterious and unsolved pasts. This podcast is chilling at times, full of lots of twists and turns and uses creepy storytelling to make it seem real. Although the beginning of the season starts off a bit slowly, as you continue the podcast, you get more hooked and immersed in the stories. Tune in every Thursday for a highly scripted drama series.

A true crime podcast, “Sword and Scale” covers underworld criminal activity. Be prepared to never sleep again. The first episode I listened to, “Episode 99,” was gory. It detailed an underreported child abuse case and provided information about how data in child abuse cases is often skewed. From cold cases to current trials, it will leave you wanting more details. It’s well-researched and one of the few crime podcasts I will listen to more than once, even if it means I stay awake at night. Disclaimer, though — the podcast demonstrates how unjust the world is, so if you want a happy ending, know there isn’t one.

Generation Why Aaron and Justin dig into theories and unsolved murders, conspiracies and crime. I stumbled upon this podcast after listening to “Serial Killers” and searching for mystery and crime podcasts. The only difference between this one and the other crime podcasts I’ve featured is that these two friends provide their personal opinions about these unsolved cases. Each episode, Aaron and Justin discuss a new crime, keeping it intriguing. In a recent episode, they discussed the Ryan Widmer case of 2008 and played the chilling 911 call. After three trials, Widmer was convicted of drowning his wife in the bathtub. The debate was that Widmer had done nothing wrong, and it became a controversial discussion and conviction. Although these two aren’t investigators, they look into the legitimacy of these cases and aren’t afraid to disagree with each other.

In the Dark APM Records and reporter Madeleine Baran reveal rare crimes in the country that are often mishandled. Baran and her team spent a full year uncovering details and reporting on season one’s case about Jacob Wetterling. Season one focused on the abduction of the Minnesota boy and raised questions about the 27-year-old cold case. Baran revealed how notorious child abductions in the country are, and eventually got the killer to give a chilling confession. Now going into season two, the podcast has turned into a production after receiving so much attention. The new season is underway and will take on a new aim. After all, investigative reporting takes time, and it takes a while to gather this tough content. It’s a very well-done podcast, and it’s difficult to listen to at times.

way in Atlanta. “It’s just been a really dynamic group of folks that get together and really find new ways to think about food and the people behind it,” Alvarez said. Alvarez’s scholarly background is rooted in language and literacy but has shifted more toward food after he visited the symposium for the first time. Arellano’s work for “Gravy” also inspired the Saturday night closing performance of the conference, which will feature California-based group La Victoria, who will play traditional Mexican ballads called corridos as well as its own original compositions. “That came about from the column that I did. We found the oldest known corrido about the South called ‘Enganche de Mississippi,’ which roughly translates to

aren’t Latinos, and they aren’t Hispanics — they are Cubans or Venezuelans, or they are Mexicans, and then they come to the southern United States and they get relabeled.” She hopes the symposium will help highlight the diverse culinary traditions of several different heritages in the South. Presenting chefs include Houstonian James Beard Foundation Award-winner Hugo Ortega and Eddy Hernandez of Taqueria del Sol with locations in Atlanta and Nashville. There will even be a Friday night trip out to Taylor for catfish, which has become a staple part of the symposium. The event will be extended with a corresponding mixed-media exhibit at the Powerhouse that will be on display until the end of the month. For the first time this year, the SFA is making provisions to share the conference with those who can’t make it there through its website. “We can’t make the meals a virtual experience,” Lasseter said. “But after the event, if there are any discussions that have interested people, we will be posting the videos from those talks online throughout the week.”

The Southern Foodways Alliance will pay tribute to “El Sur Latino” at its annual fall symposium this weekend. Journalist, author and symposium presenter Gustavo Arellano said that having the entire SFA conference centered around Latinos in the South is “the culmination of a fever dream.” “Twenty-five years ago, there were next to no Latinos in the South. It was a very small community — now, it’s increased,” Arellano said. “Even in Mississippi, beyond the restaurants, you have communities now of immigrants that are raising their families and Mexican-Americans moving to the South for better opportunities, and they are changing the dynamic in the South.” Arellano was first invited

‘The Mississippi Job,’” Arellano said. This song, recorded in the 1930s, is the oldest known corrido about work in the South. Mary Beth Lasseter, SFA associate director, said the singers will present in conjunction with Agustin Gurza. “The musical group is going to meet with some of the attendees of the event, and they are going to write some original corridos and workshop them during the symposium,” she said. According to Lasseter, the SFA usually welcomes around 350-400 people to the events. Lasseter said that of that number, 40-50 are locals, and 350 or so are out-of-town visitors. The 20th anniversary of the symposium will be marked with a screening of a film looking back at the conference’s last two decades. The SFA itself, which evolved out of the symposium, will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. This year’s menu features dishes from Tex-Mex brisket tacos to Venezuelan delicacies, spanning the diaspora of the Latino palate. “A lot of ‘Latinos’ aren’t considered Latinos until they come to the United States,” Lasseter said. “They

Men’s golf battles weather, ties for eighth place

MAGGIE CROUCH STAFF WRITER

Wrapping up Tuesday evening, the Ole Miss men’s golf team tied for eighth place in the Marquette Intercollegiate. The tournament was held in Milwaukee at the Erin Hills Golf Course, which was the site of the 2017 U.S. Open. Led by junior Braden Thornberry, who came in fifth place overall, the team struggled to find its groove amidst fierce wind throughout the three days, especially in the first round Sunday. “We did a very poor job of handling some adverse conditions,” head coach Chris Malloy said. “This is an area that we did a great job last year, so I know that we can do a better job.” Despite not being able to adapt as well as Malloy would have liked, the Reb-

berry ultimately ended the day 3-over, but his 32 pars and 11 birdies throughout the tournament allowed him to hold his place on the leaderboard, marking the 15th top-five finish of his career. Junior Beau Briggs was also instrumental in the Rebels’ top-10 finish. With the help of five birdies, Briggs led the Rebels in the final round, carding 1-overpar on the day and finishing in a five-way tie for 37th (80-75-73—228). Briggs shared this place with sophomore Brody Blackmon, who led the players competing individually. Blackmon found seven birdies during the three days for a 74-76-76—226 result. The No. 1 Texas A&M Aggies ultimately won by 11 strokes, with a final overall score of 293-287-286—866, followed by the UCLA Bruins in second with an 877

and the home-course Marquette Golden Eagles finishing third with an 879. With only two tournaments down, Ole Miss golf is months away from the SEC Tournament in April. According to coach Malloy, the Rebels have coming their way some fierce competition and a lot of time to prove themselves. “We are close to playing some very good golf,” Malloy said. “We just need to put it all together.” Ole Miss will hit the road again to head to Nashville, Tennessee, where it will participate in The Grove Intercollegiate Oct. 8-10, and Malloy hopes the team can recover after this past tournament. “This will be a quick turnaround before our next event,” Malloy said. “We need to get back and be ready to go.”

Ole Miss soccer faces No. 21 Tennessee tonight ETHAN WRIGHT STAFF WRITER

A Thursday night showdown in Knoxville, Tennessee, between two top-25 SEC foes will be the backdrop for Ole Miss soccer’s next outing. The matchup, which pits the No. 24 Rebels against No. 21 Tennessee, will see Ole Miss attempt to bounce back after last weekend’s shutout at the hands of No. 3 South Carolina. The Rebels’ 2-0 loss to the Gamecocks marked the first time this season that Ole Miss has allowed more than one goal in a single game. Still, the Rebels boast the impressive statistic of allowing only five goals through their first 12 games. That defense will be key against the high-scoring Volunteers, ranked third in the SEC with 2.08 goals per game. In addition to an offense that

ping the conference with eight shutouts and ranking fifth in the NCAA with 0.33 goalsagainst average. While Tennessee’s defense appears nearly impenetrable, Ole Miss is one of a select few teams with the talent to break through the wall and place shots on junior Tennessee goalkeeper Shae Yanez. Freshman Channing Foster and junior CeCe Kizer lead the SEC with 10 goals apiece, which is also good for a fourth place tie in the

NCAA’s leaderboards. The duo’s scoring will be as much of a necessity as ever on Thursday, as the Volunteers’ Khadija Shaw provides a scoring prowess equivalent to that of Foster and Kizer. The junior leads everyone in the SEC (who is not in an Ole Miss uniform) in both points and goals. With so much talent on both sides of the ball, predicting the outcome poses a challenge. History weighs heavily in Tennessee’s favor, as the Volunteers

lead the Rebels 14-4-2 in their all-time series, but it was Ole Miss who triumphed the last time the teams met in Knoxville. Though history can only somewhat predict the future, maybe this season’s exploits will best showcase the most likely winner. Ole Miss’ nation-leading offense barely edges out Tennessee’s in every major offensive category. While the margin is slim, it is safe to say that behind Kizer, Foster and the many other talented players, the Rebels offensively outgun the Volunteers. Defensively, the roles are reversed, with Tennessee just barely leading Ole Miss in each major category. Again, while the difference is marginal, the Volunteers hold the advantage on the defensive side of the game. When push comes to shove, the pitting of high-powered offenses against stingy defenses seems as if this showdown will be that of the unstoppable force and immovable object, with no one knowing what to expect when they meet. Bringing such a large amount of excitement to the pitch, this highly entertaining bout will kick off at 6 p.m. on SEC Network Plus.
