The University is hosting a variety of events throughout October to commemorate LGBT History Month.

Upcoming events include movie screenings, a town hall-style meeting on same-sex marriage, and a celebration of National Coming Out Day on Monday, October 12 .

LGBT History Month was founded in 1994 by a Missouri high school teacher wanting to educate his students on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history.

Stephanie Orsini, second year anthropology graduate student, expressed the value of the monthlong celebration.

“It is good to expose people to aspects of the LGBT community and provide open support,” Orsini said.

According to statistics from the Human Rights Campaign Fund, 42 percent of LGBT youth in America say people in their town are not accepting of LGBT people.

The Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement partnered with the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies, the Department of Student Housing, UM Pride Network and several other campus organizations to put together the calendar events, which will conclude Thursday, Oct. 29 with Queer Night and a GAYla Celebration.

‘Honky tonk’ makes its home outside Oxford bar scene BLAKE ALSUP

mbalsup@go.olemiss.edu

Out on County Road 307, there’s a joint just off of Highway 6, a long drive from the bustling nightlife on the Square.

Open Thursday through Sunday, Mr. Feather’s was created to offer a different, more Southern experience to weekends in Oxford.

Scott Michael, owner of Rooster’s Blues House, Jared Foster, chef and owner of LandShark Crawfish and manager Zach Clolinger came together to open Oxford’s first honky tonk on Aug. 20.

“Country music is just extremely popular and I thought that it would be a good idea to have a bar with a country theme,” Michael said.

Making good use of both their indoor and outdoor stage, Mr. Feather’s hosts country karaoke

on Thursday and has live country music on Friday and Saturday with live acoustic sets outside on Sunday.

The restaurant, bar and country music venue has a pool room with a brand new pool table and are planning to add lawn games such as Cornhole and ring toss to their back patio area. Its restaurant offers selections like hand-cut steaks, catfish, shrimp and crawfish bites made from french bread stuffed with crawfish, cheese and vegetables.

Michael said Mr. Feather’s plans to introduce line dancing in the near future and is available for private parties.

“We have had lots of success with private parties,” Michael said. “We recommend that you check our Facebook page before you come out because we have lots of corporations and University organizations wanting to rent

out the place.”

With a building nearer to Oxford communities that bypasses the typical bar setting, Mr. Feather’s has received positive reviews thus far.

“I like that there’s a new place to eat and hang out at so close to my apartment,” Malachi Shinault, a junior integrated marketing and communications major, said.

“I’d like to thank Wells Gate and the surrounding neighbors that have supported us so far, “ Foster said.

“We are grateful and look forward to what’s in the future for us.”

“The response to what we’re doing seems to be going over really well. People are looking for something a little bit different and we gave it a shot,” Michael said. “So far we are pleased.”

13-year-old me wanted to be a goth or a punk kid with dyed hair and black clothes. I wanted to wear arm warmers every day and actually write in a journal, rather than just own 15. These days, I manage to work low-key punk on occasion, and I have knit arm-warmers from Etsy I wear ironically. My brightly colored hair is gone, but it had its run. 13-year-old me had me pegged there, too.

13-year-old me hadn’t really listened to music all that much. I made a friend who was obsessed with music, so I began mimicking her.

NEWS | 8 OCTOBER 2015 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 3

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Coast Guard ends search for 33 missing crew members JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Coast Guard officially ended its search Wednesday for the missing crew members from a U.S. cargo ship that sank off the Bahamas during Hurricane Joaquin.

Petty Officer Mark Barney said the search for survivors from the El Faro ended at 7 p.m.

Earlier Wednesday, the Coast Guard broke the news to grieving family members that it was abandoning the search for the 33 mariners and investigators turned their attention to finding the vessel’s data recorder 3 miles down at the bottom of the sea.

An intensive search by air and sea over tens of thousands of square miles turned up one unidentified body in a survival suit and a heavily damaged lifeboat but no sign of survivors from the 790-foot El Faro, which was last heard from nearly from a week ago as it was being tossed around in rough seas.

By preparing to end its search at sunset, the Coast Guard all but confirmed family members’ worst fears — that all hands were lost. On board were 28 crew members from the U.S. and five from Poland.

“Any decision to suspend a search is painful,” Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said.

“They did all they could.”

Even before the announcement, hopes of finding anyone alive were fading.

“The ship went down. And there’s no questioning the outcome of that. The ship has gone down, took every-

body with it. There’s really no speculation to be made,” said Mary Shevory, mother of crew member Mariette Wright.

Robert Green, father of LaShawn Rivera, held out hope despite the Coast Guard decision: “Miracles do happen, and it’s God’s way only.

I’m prayerful, hopeful and still optimistic.”

President Barack Obama promised the “full support of the U.S. government” as officials investigate the sinking of the cargo ship. In a statement issued Wednesday evening, Obama said the families of the crew members lost at sea deserve answers, and those who work at sea must be kept safe.

The El Faro went down in 15,000 feet of water east of the Bahamas last Thursday after losing propulsion while attempting to outrun Joaquin along the ship’s regular route from Jacksonville to Puerto

Rico, according to ship owner Tote Maritime and the Coast Guard. The captain reported the ship was listing and taking on water through an open hatch. Then transmissions ceased.

The key to the mystery of what caused the ship to stall and sink may be in the voyage data recorder, similar to the “black box” on an airliner.

The device, presumably pinging away in the blackness and crushing pressure on the sea floor, has a battery life of 30 days after it hits the water.

Assuming the device can be located, the National Transportation Safety Board will work with the Coast Guard, Navy and other agencies to devise a way to bring it up, probably using a remote-controlled, unmanned submersible capable of diving great depths.

Among the questions raised

in the wake of the tragedy: What caused the ship to lose power? Did pressure to deliver the cargo on time play a role in the captain’s decision to press ahead? Was the ship’s advanced age — more than 40 years old — a factor? And was the mechanical trouble caused by work that was being done in the engine room at the time?

The recorder, required for all large ships since 2002, would contain radio communications, command discussions on the bridge, the ship’s speed and heading, the condition of its hull, wind speed and radar readings. Generally the recorders retain information from the 12 hours before they enter the water.

“We want to find every bit of information that we possibly can,” NTSB vice chair Bella Dinh-Zarr said. “We will be here as long as it takes.”

The ship left Jacksonville on Sept. 29 while Joaquin was still a tropical storm. Joaquin quickly developed into a powerful Category 4 hurricane, but Tote officials say its captain, Michael Davidson, had an acceptable plan to bypass the storm that would have worked had the ship not lost power amid 140 mph winds and 50-foot waves.

The NTSB said a key part of the investigation is learning how to prevent similar tragedies. Family members said they hope so, too.

“I am hoping other companies will take a good look at when they’re going to ship out, when they’re going to set sail,” Shevory said. “And not do it with a storm coming that can potentially become a hurricane.”

‘Coming-of-old-age’ author visits Square Books

AUDREY HALL

alhall3@go.olemiss.edu

Anyone looking for a “coming-of-old-age” story this fall can find this new-again trend in “This is Your Life, Harriet Chance!” by Jonathan Evison. At 6 p.m., the author and his latest book will appear at Square Books.

The tour revolves around “This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance!,” a tale of an elderly widow who takes a cruise to Alaska in honor of her recently deceased husband. The book is a “coming-of-old-age” story, a phrase used by Evison to describe Harriet Chance’s journey as a widowed, aging woman.

“When I was seventeen years old, I lived in a senior citizen motor court with my grandmother, who was an agoraphobic. I was her only caregiver. The whole camp was filled with elderly women who were out-living their husbands. This is in a world where the elderly are marginalized, no one advertises towards them. But these women were re-inventing themselves after their husbands died. They were adopting new political and religious ide-

ologies,” Evison said. “Old people are generalized so much, and you always hear these sayings like how you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. That’s not what I found at all. I remember being so impressed with their resilience and how much they were teaching themselves and other people…Harriet Chance represents all of that. It’s never too late to grow, never too late to make mistakes, never too late to forgive.”

Evison conveys this message by highlighting Harriet’s relationship with her estranged daughter and her late husband, both of whom haunt her in very different ways. Timewise, the story follows her after her husband’s death and through the cruise she and her daughter end up taking on his behalf. The reader is also introduced to the rest of her life through flashbacks written from the perspective of an alternate, younger Harriet. The book contains chapters in the present and chapters containing flashbacks to demonstrate the progression of Harriet’s life and personality, both before and after her husband dies.

“I think of that part of the book as an alternate Harriet

telling her story,” Evison said.

“This voice is almost like a conscience that prods and pushes her and tells the stories that helped her become the person she is now. That voice is

like your conscience because it holds you to your own faults and flaws too.”

“This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance!” is driven by Harriet’s indomitable and compassion-

ate personality. Her efforts to forgive people like her restraining husband and estranged daughter are endearing, but her strength and determination are impressive, such as her pursuit of the cruise itself after her best friend flakes out.

“Every single day of my life, something happens during the day that will inform my writing, something I see or hear.

It forces me to be awake to all those possibilities. Every bad girlfriend, every bad job, it’s the knowledge that I can repurpose this, I can relive it and make it into something better.

There really is no ‘worst thing’ about writing. It’s something I need to do. I’d be doing it even if I wasn’t being published. And it helps with the kids, to have a career,” Evison said on his process of creating worlds and characters like Harriet Chance.

This will be Evison’s first visit to Oxford’s Square Books.

“I’m super excited,” Evison said. “I have friends who have toured here and they’ve told me what an amazing scene it is. I specifically requested that Oxford be a stop on this book tour.”

The Seratones performs tonight at Proud Larry’s CODY THOMASON

csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu

Speed is the word that first comes to mind when thinking about Seratones.

In the almost two years the band has been together, they’ve signed to a record label, recently played with Houndmouth and will open for St. Paul and The Broken Bones later this fall. They have also been featured on NPR, Stereogum and Paste Magazine.

In a way, their music reflects the speed of their rapid progression on the music scene, as it can instantly go from a heavy punk riff to a soulful chorus, all in the same song.

The four-piece group is made up of singer and guitarist AJ Haynes, drummer Jesse Gabriel, guitarist Connor Davis and bassist Adam Davis. The band hails from Shreveport, Louisiana, where the members lived and knew each other for around a decade, working on a few projects on and off, before starting Seratones.

“Connor and Jesse and I had been working on a new project, writing songs and working on new material. We used to play in a cover band together and we just got tired of playing covers. We started trying some different sounds,” Haynes said.

“Then our friend Adam moved back to Shreveport from Alice, Oregon to join us when we were just writing songs together since, about a little over a year.”

Seratones signed with Oxford-based record label Fat Possum Records, which has been home to bands such as The Black Keys, Youth Lagoon, Modest Mouse and Andrew Bird.

“We were playing a show in Hot Springs, Arkansas with NERVES,” Haynes said. “The lead singer of that band works at Fat Possum and Deg Bonillo, the guy from NERVES, told the guys at Fat Possum about us and they checked us out.”

Since the band is relatively new, their sounds and styles ar-

COURTESY: AMAZON.COM

en’t completely set in stone yet.

Haynes said they are still experimenting and finding their sound, which has influences from blues, soul and punk, as Haynes originally met the other members of

the band going to punk shows in Shreveport.

“We’re still working through some things,” he said. “It’s all about discovery and capturing moments and trying to tell a sto-

ry.”

The band currently has three songs out, including “Necromancer,” which has already been released digitally and will be released on vinyl along with a new song on Oct. 16. They’re also planning their first full-length album.

“We’ll be releasing a single later this month. It’s the other side of the 7-inch that just came out and the name of the song is ‘Take It Easy,’” Haynes said.

“We’re working on an album now. Hopefully, it’ll be ready to go by the end of this year, but we’re just working on it piece by piece, making it right.”

Haynes explained how the band went about working together to write a new Seratones track, saying that the process could vary for each song they created.

“A song wants what a song wants at the end of the day, and that’s what we try to stay true to,” Haynes said. “We’ve been doing collaborative writing, start

with a riff or start with an idea or a sound and build from there.

Everyone gives each other feedback on what they’re doing, but we’ve been almost playing with each other for so long that a lot of things happen quite naturally. We’re kind of a first thought best thought idea, and go from there.”

In Spanish, ‘cera’ means wax, which is where Haynes got the inspiration for the band name.

It eventually evolved into Seratones, which Adam Davis, Gabriel and Conner Davis liked due to its similarity to serotonin, a chemical in the body that is thought to positively affect one’s mood.

“The guys were like ‘The C looks stupid, so change it to an S,’ so we were Seratones,” Haynes said.

The Seratones will perform their soulful rock n’ roll tonight at Proud Larry’s with Jimbo Mathus and Ironing Board Sam. Admission is $5, and the show starts at 9 p.m.

The Ole Miss soccer team has dominated their non-conference opponents this season, going undefeated with a 6-0-2 record.

In conference matches, however, things have been much tougher for the Rebels, shown by their 2-3 start in the SEC. Opposing SEC teams have been able to slow down a potent Ole Miss offense. Leading scorer CeCe Kizer has 11 goals on the season, but only two have come in conference play.

Ole Miss played well in their two conference wins, overcoming a 2-0 halftime deficit to defeat Alabama 3-2 and then dominating LSU from the start in a 2-0 victory. Being a part of the SEC means the schedule will do you no favors. Two

7th-ranked Clemson. Their offense is tied with Florida for the best in the conference, averaging 2.75 goals per game while their defense averages 0.89 goals allowed.

Ole Miss then has to turn around and face another national title contender, 8thranked Auburn.

The Tigers’ defense is very good. They’ve notched six shutouts on the season and have not allowed more than two goals in a game. The Rebels then go on the road to face a talented Tennessee team that features U.S. U-20 international Carlyn Baldwin and played 9th-ranked Virginia Tech to a 1-1 draw. The Volunteers have a lights-out defense that is one of the best in the country, allowing just five goals in 12 games. Ole Miss will then continue their road trip to take on the Aggies in College Station, then close the regular season at home against Vanderbilt.

After missing out on the SEC Tournament last season, Ole Miss will have to find a way to beat the teams in front of them in the standings.

The Rebels have plenty of talent, but the defense will have to continue to adjust after losing four-year starter and

of the losses were to ranked opponents, 20th-ranked Kentucky and 12th-ranked Florida, with the third loss coming against a tough Missouri team.

The difficult schedule will not let up, as three of the Rebels’ final six opponents are ranked 17th or higher in the NSCAA Coaches’ Poll. Five of them are at .500 or better. On Friday, Ole Miss will head to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks, who are much better than their 5-6-1 record would indicate. They have defeated a good TCU squad and played 10th ranked South Carolina to a 2-2 draw.

The Rebels will return to Oxford Sunday to take on the Gamecocks, who are national title contenders this season.

They feature a win over 17thranked Texas A&M, and their only loss this season was to

Secondary looks to change after shaky performance CODY THOMASON

csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss pass defense had a tough time in Gainesville on Saturday.

The defense has performed well in all of the previous matchups, but without junior safety Tony Connor, the secondary struggled in containing the Gator receivers and tight ends and allowed 271 yards through the air and four touchdowns.

With Connor out, the secondary is trying out a significant

shift to try and make up for his loss.

“We struggled a little at the Huskie position the last couple weeks, not because of a lack of effort or having the experience Tony had, or the tackling skill or physicality,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “We have struggled there a few times. We’ll probably bring Mike Hilton in there and see how it goes the next few weeks.”

Moving Hilton, a senior who has started at the Rover safety for each game this season, would

completely change the other safety spots as well.

“We would put Trae Elston (at Rover) and C.J. Hilton would play free safety. Chief (Brown) would back up C.J. (Johnson), and we’d move Zedrick (Woods) back to Rover,” Freeze confirmed.

Elston said moving to Rover wasn’t a big deal, as he started there in each of his three previous seasons with the Rebels.

“You do whatever to help the team, and that’s what we’re going to do,” Elston said. “I think

we’ll just have to see how it goes.”

Like Elston, Hilton also has experience at his new position, but unlike Elston, Hilton will be playing Huskie for the first time since his freshman year.

“I shouldn’t be too rusty, but that was two or three years ago, so I have to get back in the groove of things. And of course I have to be in the box more also,” Hilton said. “It’s a lot more to it.”

Hilton explained the move and how long the lineup could reflect that change.

“It was the defensive coaches’ decision,” Hilton said. “They try to get the best players on the field, and they were confident in A.J. (Moore). They still feel that he still has some work to do, so they’re moving me to Huskie for the week. And I’m going to be there until Tony (Conner) gets back.”

Hilton would be replacing sophomore A.J. Moore in the starting lineup and understands he has to keep helping Moore improve.

“It was tough on him. He felt like he’s been doing his job and everything, but he knows the game and he’s willing to do whatever,” Hilton said. “He knows I’m not a guy that’s really going to be like ‘I’m ready to take your position.’ I’m still going to be there to coach him and make sure he’s on top of it in case anything happens to me.”

Hilton said he was confident that the secondary would be able to handle the position changes.

“It’s not much of an adjustment because we work with each other,” Hilton said. “In film, we don’t just pay attention to one safety. We make sure we know all and movement happens. Now it’s time for other guys to step up at certain positions.”

Tee Shepard leaves football team after recovery BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE

bsrippee@go.olemiss.edu

The status of Ole Miss junior defensive back Tee Shepard had been in question for the last two days. There were even rumors flying around that he had intentions of hanging up the cleats and leaving the team.

He made it official Tuesday.

Shepard announced in a statement on Tuesday, citing that the “injuries” and “challenges” he has been forced to overcome has taken away his love for the game of football.

“While we had hoped Tee would continue playing, he has chosen to conclude his career and focus on finishing his degree here at Ole Miss,” Hugh Freeze said in a statement on Tuesday. “He will always be a part of our family, and we hope he continues his platform to impact others.”

Shepard will remain on scholarship through the 2015-16 school year and is expected to graduate in May. The loss of Shepard is another blow to the depth of the Ole Miss defense that has been hit with a number of different injuries in the recent weeks, including losing senior middle line-

to the defensive side of the ball.

“Derrick is an option. As a freshman he started as a corner when I was here, so we do have some flexibility” Jones said.

“Derrick is a team player and will do whatever is best for the team.”

The Ole Miss defense has struggled, especially at getting off of the field on third down this year and Freeze made that an emphasis this week.

“We looked at all 37 of our third down plays this year, and we felt that we should have stopped 31 of them,” Freeze said.

The losses aren’t just on the defensive side of the ball for Ole Miss, as Freeze said that senior running back Jaylon Walton, as well as offensive linemen Justin Bell, Javon Patterson and Robert Conyers will be sideline this week due to various nagging injuries.

Freeze did add that he does not expect any of them to be out for an extended period of time past this week.

Freeze also added that Kalio Moore is “probably out” as well.
