Jalexcia Heard
ighteen-year-old Jalexcia Heard was a junior in high school when she started experiencing pain her doctors could not understand. She was not aware at the time, but the pain was the beginning of a five-year battle that would change her life forever. In October 2011, Heard was referred to a doctor who conducted tests and diagnosed her with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Heard said she kept having symptoms commonly associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, an autoimmune disease that can affect almost every organ in the body. A few months later, Heard was rushed to the emergency room for back pain. “They gave me antibiotics and discharged me,” Heard said. “When I made it home, I took the medicine and my vision was blurred. I couldn’t see anything. I threw up everywhere. I went back to the hospital, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.” Heard was sick after her discharge from the hospital and antibiotic treatment, so she visited doctors in Jackson. She was diagnosed with lupus on March 11, 2012. The symptoms of the disease can range from being virtually harmless to life threatening. According to the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation, 90 percent of lupus patients are young women. Most victims first develop signs and symptoms between the ages of 15 and 44. It affects more females

Students get involved with politics, campaigning AUSTIN HILLE

Election day is less than a month away and both major party candidates are now in the final stretch toward locking down the undecided votes. In this crucial period of the campaign, many Ole Miss political student organizations are now throwing their hats in the ring to support their respective nominees. “We’ve had Trump stickers in the grove. There have been different Trump events in the area that we have let our mem-
bers know about .... We had two voter registration drives over the course of the past few weeks,” said Luke Phillips, president of the College Republicans. “We are looking at putting together some sort of day of action for College Republicans. We might be reaching out to the Trent Kelly campaign to see if we can go door-to-door.” The Ole Miss College Democrats have also been involved in similar activities in order to raise support for Hillary Clinton. Their activities take on a wide range of involvement, going so far as to travel to out-of-
state locations. “I’ve been in contact with the local Democratic party in the county and the state Democratic party, and they have had us recruiting people to do phone banking, calling voters trying to get her platform across,” said College Democrats Vice President Arin Kemp. “We are planning a trip to North Carolina at the beginning of next month to campaign in that battleground state as well.” This year has also seen the rise of the third-party candidate support club Rebels for Johnson-Weld, supporting the
Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. The club has also had its share of campaign involvement on campus. “We’ve just been trying to get the word out about Gov. Johnson,” said the organization’s president, Dalton Smith. “We are going to try and set up a table outside the Union, and just get a big sign and talk to people. I think that is the best, most effective way to do it. I mean, you have two of the most polarizing candidates ever, and then you’ve got Gary Johnson, a former governor of New Mexico, who is probably the most likeable person I
have ever seen run for office.” Regardless of how students get involved this election cycle, all clubs agree that being involved in such a capacity is a beneficial experience no matter the outcome of the election. “I just think it is a great way to get to know your community,” Phillips said. “It’s just a good way to get involved in civic responsibilities. Going door-to-door, I personally have learned a lot about people. As students, we kind of live in a bubble, so it’s really cool to get out and meet members of the community.”

Ken Bone was a much needed political relief
COLUMN
PATRICK WATERS
thedmopinion@gmail.com
If you have been anywhere near a television, cell phone, or computer that past few days, chances are you have heard or seen a man named Ken Bone. The mild-mannered Shiloh, Illinois resident was thrust onto the national scene last Sunday night when he was selected to ask a question in the second presidential debate to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. While Bones’s question about energy policy had several im-
portant points, it was outshined by his bright red sweater, thick mustache, and jovial demeanor. After the debate, he used his disposable camera to take pictures of the surroundings (people asking questions at the debate are not allowed to bring in their phones). Bone is making the best of his 15 minutes of fame, saying “My mustache and my sweater are probably my claims to fame. If you want to be me for Halloween, you’d better get in soon because this bad boy is sold out on Amazon.” His midwestern humility was a breath of fresh air in an election year filled with contention and conflict. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have made a habit of attacking each other on a regular basis, and many average Americans are feeling left behind in the constant current of criticism, insults, scandal, and controversy. In 2008, “Joe the Plumber,”

a laborer who gained similar fame after asking a question at an Obama campaign event, was a daily reminder by Republican nominee John McCain’s presidential campaign of the average person who was distrustful of then-Senator Barack Obama’s policies. Fast forward eight years to 2016, and Ken Bone (who says he is still undecided) takes the place “Joe the Plumber” once held. However, this time around, Bone is an undecided, Middle American voter who wants to talk about the issues, not the controversy and scandal the national news media likes to dwell upon. We need more people like Ken Bone asking questions in politics. It would go a long way in climbing us out of the political gutter we find ourselves in.

continued from page 1 than males and the illness is more common in minorities. Statistics show African Americans and hispanics with lupus tend to develop the disease earlier in life, experience greater disease activity such as kidney problems and have more complications overall than caucasian patients. Heard, who is now a senior social work major, said the illness is getting worse as time goes by. “In February 2015, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis, which is the deterioration of the bones,” she said. “I was having pain in my left hip. I thought it was from exercising, but the bone in my hip was slowly rotting away.” Avascular necrosis develops from the prolonged use of steroids, which Heard takes to ease the pain lupus causes. Eventually, Heard was restricted to a wheelchair because she could no longer walk her sophomore year. If any more pressure was applied to her hip, she would have been disabled permanently. “If I didn’t take the steroids my body would hurt really bad,” Heard said. “So, by taking them, I was ruining my body, but I needed them still.” Later that year, Heard had a core decompression and a hip replacement, which she and her family decided was the best option. It restored her ability to walk. “The core decompression was the way to remove the blockage in my hip,” Heard said. “I was still having a lot of pain, so we decided to go through with the hip replacement. If I didn’t do it, my bone would crumble, and I’d be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life.” After the hip replacement, Heard rehabilitated slowly. But

Jalexcia Heard when July of 2016 arrived, so did more difficulties. Heard lost her appetite and started throwing up more than usual. “Anything I ate or drank would come right back up,” Heard said. “My family kept telling me I was losing too much weight. I couldn’t eat.” Heard called her doctor and was told her symptoms weren’t related to lupus. The doctors ran blood tests and admitted her into the emergency room. Doctors originally diagnosed Heard with pancreatitis and said her symptoms were not caused by lupus. Heard said she was really dizzy and couldn’t sit up or eat. “I needed help with everything,” she said. “My blood pressure was really low and and my pulse was high. While I was laying on the hospital bed, I had a really sharp pain in my stomach. I started screaming. It hurt so bad, I seriously thought I was about to die. My friend came to the doctor with me. The doctor told her privately that I almost waited too
late to come in.” Apart from how it affects patients physically, lupus affects victims financially. Medical costs can be a major burden for chronically ill students. Heard said sickness and pain from her disease comes and goes, but it pulls a substantial amount of money with it each time. “School and medical bills add up,” Heard said. “We just haven’t paid them. I mean, I have to visit the doctor every three months, so I’m probably over $20,000 in debt, just from medical costs,. That doesn’t include school.” According to Financial Aid Director Laura Diven-Brown, the Office of Financial Aid is not aware of any institutional or private scholarships offered specifically to students with medical conditions. “There is an Ole Miss fund for one-time emergencies that can sometimes be tapped,” Diven-Brown said, “But this is restricted to small, one-time
micro-grants, and would not normally be available to students with ongoing, chronic medical conditions.” Diven-Brown said students can disclose this information in a financial aid or scholarship appeal to express that they have struggled from extenuating circumstances. The student or family can also request re-evaluation of the student’s eligibility for needbased financial aid. In an effort to raise awareness for lupus and help raise money for Heard, senior criminal justice major Tinecia Francis has partnered with Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. Francis’ campaign fund will end on Feb. 25 and all proceeds will go toward Heard and a lupus foundation of her choice. “I wanted to do this to help her
and her family who are already going through so much, but also to raise awareness of lupus, which affects African-American women more than any other group,” Francis said. Francis said she met Heard her freshman year in an environmental writing class. “Honestly, she is going through so much in her life but meeting her you wouldn’t even know it and that is what made me fall in love with who she is even more,” Francis said. Heard said she is determined to finish school no matter what. “I love school, and I have people looking up to me,” Heard said. “I have to finish for everyone who looks to me for inspiration. Also, I don’t like to see my mom down. So I just keep pushing. I can’t let people down.”

Code Pink to hold Q&A, performance with SSION
MCKENNA WIERMAN
thedmfeatures@gmail.com
Tomorrow, Oxford’s LGBTQ community will celebrate queer culture across town and the University of Mississippi campus. The celebration will be highlighted by two events presented by Code Pink, in partnership with The Lyric Theater, Proud Larry’s and the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies. Code Pink is an organization that celebrates LGBTQ art and culture around the Oxford-Lafayette community. It was started as part of the Isom Center’s mission to create more LGBTQ public spaces and events in Oxford. The first event tomorrow will be a Q&A session with Cody Critcheloe of SSION (pronounced “shun”) at 4 p.m. in Bryant Hall, room 207. Following is a special performance by SSION at 9 p.m. at The Lyric. Theresa Starkey, associate director for the Sarah Isom Center and a co-founder of Code Pink, said the Q&A is a great way for people to get thinking about LGBT history month. “It is a chance for students to meet an artist whose craft crosses so many genre boundaries,” Starkey said. “The goal is to get inspired and celebrate queer culture.”
Amnesia Devereux performs at a September Code Pink at Proud Larry’s. Critcheloe, who is known for his wild and spectacular stage performances as well as for his music video directing, will be the focus of the Q&A. Matt Kessler, a student organizer for the Sarah Isom Center and co-founder of Code Pink with Starkey, said Critcheloe will mainly be discussing his experiences as a performer and music director.
“Cody is an LGBT performer who grew up in Kentucky,” Kessler said. “He fronts the band SSION and directs music videos for performers like Kylie Minogue, Robyn, Perfume Genius, Lower Dens, Santigold, and Charlie XCX.” Kessler said Critcheloe, who he calls “an excellent performer,” will perform in front of video pro-
the Vietnam War, and the two brothers have been estranged ever since. “Robert goes to Vietnam to win his father’s love and pride. Jimmy takes the other path to Canada and exile,” Butler said. Another veteran, Robert and Jimmy’s father, is on his deathbed with a secret to share. And a homeless Vietnam veteran proves to have much more effect on Robert’s life than he ever anticipated. “I’ve been working on this story for 60 of my 71 years,” Butler said. “‘Perfume River’ pulls together what I have experienced and is intuitive about the human condition. I was an adoptee within their culture, I was connected to Vietnam in a compassionate
way. My experiences have involved a collision of cultures.” The novel that paved the way for Butler’s fame for his contributions to the Vietnamese War genre, “A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain,” involved similar themes of reinvention. “Eighteen years after I was in Vietnam, I wrote a book in the voices of the Vietnamese people exiled into the United States. These people were forced to reinvent themselves into their new world,” Butler said. The idea of reinvention and communicating with the past runs through ‘Perfume River,’ too. Older generations must find peace and new life in their later years. “I have seen the titular river, not during the war, but when I went back,” Butler added. “I’ve been back to Vietnam four times since the war. The river flows through the ancient capital Hue. It runs from the Vietnamese highlands to the sea. There are fruit orchards that drop blossoms into the river, which means the river gives a sweet smell nearer to the sea. The river is suggestive of the ways that the past flows through the present in ‘Perfume River.’ The past is always in dialogue with the present.” Butler has written 16 novels and several short story collections. He is also the Michael Shaara Chair in Creative Writing at Florida State University, which means he knows a thing or two about the creative process. “My ideas come from the artistic unconscious,” Butler said. “I

jections for SSION. “SSION is one of the best live bands in the country,” Kessler said. “Truly unique.” The show at The Lyric will also feature local dancers Blake Summers and the Hip Hop Rebs, as well as sets by local DJs Shep and DJ Skin. “[It] will be a great night,” he said. “DJs, dancing and live mu-
sic. What else could you ask for?” Starkey also stressed that the night would feature some of the best talent from Oxford’s LGBTQ community. “In short, there is a lot to experience,” she said. “It is important to thank The Lyric and the folks at Proud Larry’s for being partners and supporting the event.” Overall, Code Pink works to bring events to Oxford-Lafayette where all feel welcome and everyone feels comfortable being themselves and accepting one another. Starkey said she and Kessler envisioned Code Pink events as spaces that could bring people together, as well as showcase student DJs, queer artists and culture. Thursday’s Q&A and live performance by SSION will be another chance for Code Pink to do just that. “The night is for everybody and for our LGBTQ community,” said Starkey. The Q&A with Critcheloe is free and open to the public; all are encouraged to attend. Tickets to SSION’s performance at The Lyric later Thursday evening are available online or at the door. “[Code Pink] gives everyone a place to hang out together,” Kessler said. “All are welcome.”

Robert Olen Butler makes his return to Off Square Books to share his latest novel today at 5 p.m. Robert Quinlan serves as Butler’s main character and protagonist. At the heart of the novel are Robert’s relationships and history with the important people in his life. He and his wife Darla share both the college where they work and their strained marriage.

like to paraphrase from Graham Greene, who said that all authors have bad memories and what you do remember comes out as bad journalism. What you forget goes into the compost of imagination. What you have forgotten turns into dreams, which turns into books of the literary genre. “My compost heap is quite a lot of life experiences,” Butler continued. “My time in Vietnam is certainly a major stratum there. My experience was singular because I spoke fluent Vietnamese. I was sent to language school before arriving in Vietnam. A lot of these experiences I pull from were with the Vietnamese
people. I had a deep connection to the land and with the people. I was the translator and assistant to a diplomat in Saigon. At night, I would wander alone and unarmed into the steaming back allies of Saigon. The Vietnamese were a warm people, who welcomed me into their homes and lives. I ‘Vietnamesed’ myself there. “Fiction is the art of human yearning,” Butler said. “Yearning for an identity and place in the universe. ‘Perfume River’ is ultimately a story about characters who are looking to their fathers and sons to find those answers for themselves.”

Rebels need to exploit Arkansas’ running defense BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Bret Bielema took the reigns of the Arkansas program as head coach in 2013. He brought with him a sense of pride that rested on a hard-nosed, ground and pound mentality that meshed with his Big 10 background. Running the football has been the backbone of the Razorback offense, and it’s been a common theme throughout Bielema’s entire career. His teams are 56-13 when rushing for 200 yards in a game. He’s had a 1,000-yard rusher each year he’s been at Arkansas (two in 2014), and entering this season Arkansas had rushed for at least 2,500 yards the last three seasons. This year isn’t much different. Rawleigh Williams III has recorded 605 yards on the ground already this year and the Razorbacks are running for 176 yards per game.
“Yeah, like I said earlier in years past, the ability of their tight ends and quarterbacks to be really balanced and you commit people you felt like you had to commit to stop the run, then those guys winning in space on you and a lot of one-on-ones,” Ole Miss Head Coach Hugh Freeze said. “Whether it be the receivers or their tight ends. They have done a really nice job staying balanced with that. It has given us a lot of problems.” But what has been a strength for the Razorbacks, has also been their kryptonite. They are not stopping the run. Arkansas has allowed 1,058 yards rushing to opponents this season, an average of 180 per game and an average of 5.7 yards per carry. It’s been a weakness, and it’s one Ole Miss will need to exploit if it wishes to leave Fayetteville Saturday night with a win. “We will have a good plan for what we’ve seen, there could be

fair, Ole Miss started behind the eight ball. Running Back Jordan Wilkins was ruled ineligible before the year and they lost running back Eric Swinney in the first quarter he played this season. “I keep telling everyone, it is very hard to run the ball in this league,” Freeze said. The load has been transferred to the shoulders of running backs Judd, and somewhat unexpectedly to Eugene Brazley and freshman D’Vaughn Pennamon. The Rebels have been serviceable though, averaging 157 yards per game with the ground attack seemingly improving each week. With Pennamon out in Ole Miss’ last game against Mem-
phis, both Brazley and Judd rushed for more than 100 yards, the first of their careers. “Our whole backfield can get in, and as you saw last week, Eugene went in there and tore it up. It was his time to go,” Judd said. “He’s quicker and shiftier. He cuts and reads really good.” Freeze said one of the biggest keys in this week’s game will be converting on third down, and having a run game to lean on in short yardage situations, or preventing third and long scenarios will be paramount on Saturday night. Ole Miss rushed for 263 yards against Memphis, and a semblance of that run game on display two weeks ago can only bode well for the Rebels this weekend.

some things we don’t see. They have given up some rush yards, but there are some good teams that can do that,” Freeze said. “Typically, they’ve been a lot like us, just bend and don’t break, you try to hold teams to field goals and banking on your offense scoring some touchdowns. They’ve been very good at that.” Alabama gashed Arkansas for 264 yards on the ground last week and commanded the edge on defense running the ball outside. “They did a lot of inside power runs too and all over,” running back Akeem Judd said. “We’ve just got to get our opportunities.” What may aid Arkansas is the fact that this has not been the Rebels’ strength this year.

1. ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE No surprise here, but the defending SEC Champion and currently undefeated Crimson Tide top the rankings this week. Jalen Hurts looks comfortable as the starting quarterback and the defense is as dangerous as ever.
4.
TEXAS A&M AGGIES It looks like Kevin Sumlin has finally found his quarterback in Trevor Knight, and just like that the Aggies are a contender for the SEC title once again. John Chavis has improved the Aggie defense tremendously, and they have a solid chance against the Tide this week.

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS Tennessee finally got their first loss last week in another crazy finish, narrowly losing to Texas A&M. While they’ve played some smaller teams too close for comfort this season, they’ve also played the better teams on their schedule tight. Tennessee should still win the East.
AUBURN TIGERS Auburn may be 4-2, but they’ve exceeded expectations so far this season. The losses came from close games against Clemson and Texas A&M, and the Tigers beat LSU and dominated Mississippi State last week. Auburn seems to be on the rise right now.

When head coach Bret Bielema came to Arkansas after previously coaching at Wisconsin, he decided to bring his Big-10 style power running offense with him. Ever since, the Razorbacks have been a run-first offense with a big offensive line and plenty of tight-end heavy formations. “They live off of the running game, the boots and then taking some shots deep, and I think they do a nice job with their formations,” Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. “They’re different than other people in the conference. It’s a different preparation and it should help us having the extra week off to get ready for them.” The Razorbacks’ formidable run game is lead by sophomore Rawleigh Williams III, who’s rushed for 605 yards and five touchdowns so far. This year, however, the Razorbacks have added more of a passing element to their offense with first year starter Austin Allen, who’s already thrown for 1,632 yards and 15 touchdowns. After seeing Allen’s performance against Alabama, Wommack was impressed with the Razorbacks new starting quarterback, saying that he was very tough and accurate. “I mean they knocked the quarterback around and he put it on the money most of the time when he wasn’t sacked, and he threw for 400 yards,” Wommack said. “He made some great throws and he’s done that PHOTO BY: CAMERON BROOKS all year.” Senior defensive tackle Isaac Gross throws up the landshark after tackling a Florida State player.
