Quay Williams hands a list of demands written out by the Abolish IHL coalition to executive coordinator to the chancellor Lynlee Stacy. Glenn Boyce, who was announced as the 18th chancellor of the university on Oct. 4, has yet to publicly address the campus. He became the chancellor on Sunday and has met with students privately since being named chancellor. Stacy said that Boyce was in Jackson at the University of Mississippi Medical Center on Monday and Tuesday and said that he would be there for most of the week before going to other satellite locations on Friday. A university spokesperson said that Boyce was working on campus on Tuesday.

ASB Senate votes to condemn IHL process KENNETH NIEMEYER thedmnews@gmail.com

The Associated Student Body Senate voted 35-8 on Tuesday evening to approve a resolution condemning the Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees’ chancellor search process. Authors of the resolution emphasized that the statement was only meant to condemn the

IHL and its search process, not Boyce himself. They also read statements from the National and College Panhellenic Councils and the Residential Housing Association condemning the IHL for lack of transparency. “This is by no means a mark against Dr. Boyce, but the way he was selected,” the RHA statement read. “The lack of transparency by the IHL is disheartening.”

Anna Hall, ASB Senate president pro-tempore and one of the authors of the resolution, also said that the resolution was not a no-confidence vote in the IHL or Boyce. “I think the main thing was to come out and say that we don’t approve of the way this process went down and that this is something that is going to be on the forefront of our minds for the next several months and

even the next several years,” Hall said. “This is a part of a larger social movement, and this is just the first step.” Hall said the IHL let students’ comments from September’s listening session fall on deaf ears. “Students are the lifeblood of this university,” Hall said. “Without students there would,

The Institutions of Higher Learning released a timeline of events for “accuracy and clarification” of the search process of Glenn Boyce as the university’s 18th chancellor. The release comes six days after the Faculty Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for the IHL to provide a “complete accounting and detailed timeline” of the chancellor search process. The senate’s deadline for the IHL response was set for Tuesday at 5 p.m. The senate executive council met Tuesday night to discuss whether or not to set an extraordinary meeting this week, but did not confirm whether or not to hold one. At the Faculty Senate meeting on Oct. 8, the senate tentatively scheduled a meeting for Thursday in the event that the IHL’s response was not sufficient and to potentially consider more severe legislation. The release stated that Boyce served as a consultant in the search process from Jan. 18 to June 30; Boyce told reporters he was paid around $87,000 for the consulting job. The IHL Board of Trustees recommended Boyce as a consultant in the search process to the UM Foundation, according to emails obtained by Mississippi Today. On July 1, the day after he finished as a consultant, BuffkinBaker, the outside search firm contracted to facilitate the search, asked Boyce if he would consider being a candidate. Boyce declined then and again on Aug. 8, when BuffkinBaker approached him for a second time to gauge his

continued from page 1 quite literally, be no university. So why are we so frequently ignored in decisions about our leadership?” Several senators spoke in support of the resolution after the senate moved into a period of debate. Senator Spencer Johns said that the IHL’s decision reminded him of a conversation he had with former ASB President Elam Miller about the board. “Elam’s response was telling,” Spencer said. “He said, ‘They may say what they want, but ultimately it’s their actions in the future that will determine what their true intent was.’ I remembered that statement after seeing the news because ultimately, that’s what IHL has done. They’ve told Elam’s legacy that it doesn’t matter. (They) aren’t listening to the students.” Senator-at-large Noah Hubbard said that he was initially going to vote against the resolution because condemning the IHL might weaken ASB’s relations with the chancellor. Hubbard decided to support the resolution after speaking with constituents who supported it. None of the eight senators who voted against the resolutions made arguments during the period of debate. After the vote, several senators rose and urged those who had dissenting opinions to speak up in the future. Senator Bailey Muselwhite, who voted against the resolution, declined to comment after the meeting. “I think that when you get in that room, sometimes you can get shy,” Hall said. “There’s a lot of different opinions and different voices, and sometimes you can feel uncomfortable being in the minority, but I would certainly hope that anyone

Protesters line the front of the Lyceum on Monday. Students, faculty and community members protested Glenn Boyce on his first day in office.

Protesters march into Lyceum, demanding Boyce resign KENNETH NIEMEYER thedmnews@gmail.com

In their third protest in 10 days, the Abolish IHL movement marched to the Lyceum on Monday to call for the abolition of the Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees and the resignation of newly appointed Chancellor Glenn Boyce. Monday was Boyce’s first school day in his new role as chancellor. About 60 protesters chanted, “We have a voice, no Glenn Boyce” as they marched toward the Lyceum. “We want Glenn Boyce to resign, the abolishment of the IHL and to gain campus autonomy,” Quay Williams, organizer and sophomore graphic design major, said. The IHL Board appointed Boyce chancellor on Oct. 4 after a nine-month search process in which he was hired as a consultant. The same group held a silent march last week that went from the Grove to the Faculty Senate meeting in the Thad Cochran Center to urge the senate to vote “no confidence” in both the IHL and Boyce. Anne Twitty, associate professor of history and organizer, and Williams gave speeches to the crowd on the steps of the Lyceum before they entered the building.

Protesters look at each other as Quay Williams gives a speech behind them. Dozens of protesters lined the front of the Lyceum before marching into the office of the chancellor. Twitty said that the protest was focused on the abolition of the IHL and Boyce’s resignation, not on Boyce’s political leanings. “I think the problem is that we don’t really know much at all about Glenn Boyce’s time as head of Holmes Community College,” Twitty said. “We know a little bit more about his time as head of the (IHL Board), but that board’s

proceedings are shrouded in secrecy, and it’s extremely difficult to ever get them to be transparent.” Twitty also said that she did not know what Boyce planned to do when he took over as chancellor. “In the interviews that he’s granted so far, I don’t think he really knows what he wants to do as chancellor, and that’s a real problem,” Twitty said.

Before student and faculty protesters could begin chanting their demands in the Lyceum, Dean of Students Brent Marsh asked them to “wrap up” because people were working. “Did you guys hear that?” one protester replied. “People are working in here. That means we’ve got to be louder.” Marsh previously asked student

protestors to be “thoughtful” at the announcement on Oct. 4 of Boyce as the next chancellor. UPD Chief Ray Hawkins was present at Monday’s protests with around six other officers. They stood together at the margins of the crowd. Marsh said that he did not feel the need to defend his comment from the previous protest. “When I interviewed to come here, I was aware that there was a pretty high level of student activism, and I think it’s great to see students who are passionate about issues being able to utilize their voices and as the dean of students, part of my job is to help students do that in a safe and effective way,” Marsh said. After chanting their demands , Williams handed a letter from the group to a Lyceum secretary and asked that she give it to Boyce. The letter outlined their demands that the IHL and Boyce resign and the chancellor search process be reopened. “Because we care about the future of the university, we are standing up for it,” the letter read. “Doing so means securing an ethically, professionally, and democratically vetted Chancellor. Because of the IHL’s own actions throughout the search process, Dr. Glenn Boyce can never be that chancellor.”

Can the Rebels reach a bowl game?

CAMERON RICHARDSON thedmsports@gmail.com

After a bowl ban and program restrictions hampered Ole Miss for the last two years, the Rebels are finally eligible for a bowl game. However, with seven games gone, the team stands with a 3-4 record. Ole Miss must finish the season at 6-6 to be bowl eligible, which means they need three wins in their next five games. This is no simple task, as the Rebels face some stout competition in the back half of the schedule. Here are the final five games remaining on the schedule, as well as a breakdown of what Ole Miss must do to secure a bowl game. Texas A&M, Oct. 19: After some close losses earlier this year to Memphis and California, and the defeat suffered last week against No. 22 Missouri, Ole Miss has little to no room for error, making this contest a must-win for the Rebels in terms of bowl eligibility. The spread has the Aggies favored by six points, but Ole Miss has performed well at home, boasting a 3-1 record at Vaught-Hemingway. Texas A&M barely beat an Arkansas team that Ole Miss handled comfortably earlier in the season, but after a loss suffered last week against Alabama, expect

Texas A&M to be hungry for a win, as they are also three games away from bowl eligibility. In order to win, Ole Miss must be able to efficiently carry out its new two-quarterback game plan consisting of Matt Corral and John Rhys Plumlee. If Ole Miss tidies up on the defensive end and the offense continues to put up points, the game could be a very tight affair. No. 11 Auburn, Nov. 2: This game at Auburn seems like a long shot for Ole Miss. The Rebels have been woeful on the road with an 0-3 record, while Auburn has been perfect at home. The Tigers have been in good form all year, beating No. 12 Oregon in the opener and having their only loss recorded to a solid Florida team. However, Ole Miss can come in with some advantages. The Rebels will be fresh off a bye week, while Auburn faces No. 2 LSU the week before and No. 10 Georgia the week after. The Georgia game could possibly leave Auburn too focused on those games to pay attention to the underdog Rebels. New Mexico State, Nov. 9: Ole Miss must beat New Mexico state at home, and there is no other way around it. As of now, New Mexico State is 0-7, and a Rebel loss at home here will severely cripple any hopes of a bowl appearance.

Adam Norsworthy prepares for the football game against Vanderbilt. Ole Miss needs to win three of the remaining five games to be bowl eligible. No. 2 LSU, Nov. 16: The only saving grace here for Ole Miss is that this is a home game. LSU has been spectacular this year, recording wins against solid programs like Florida and Texas while putting up dominant performances against lesser competition. Maybe playing Alabama the week before will leave the Tigers exhausted, creating a trap game against the Rebels, but

that is a considerable stretch. Mississippi State, Nov. 28: The Egg Bowl: Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss. While it’s safe to say neither of these teams have set the world on fire this year, both teams might be looking at bowl eligibility by late November, and that, along with the longstanding rivalry, is enough to make this game a highly anticipated matchup.

Ole Miss’ advantage is a longer break before this game, while Mississippi State’s will be its home crowd. Ole Miss will most likely need this win to solidify their bowl hopes. Should the Rebels fail to earn six wins this season, there is the possibility of accepting a 5-7 bowl bid depending on the program’s Academic Progress Rate.

SOCCER

Rebels host rival Alabama for crucial conference game

KELBY ZENDEJAS

The Ole Miss soccer team returns home on Thursday to face a solid Alabama squad after a disappointing loss at Georgia. In this week’s matchup, both squads hold an 8-4-2 overall record. However, this upcoming battle is key for the Rebs to stack up at least two more wins in SEC play to qualify for the SEC Tournament, “The Beach,” this November. The Crimson Tide earned its

first SEC shutout against LSU this past Sunday in Tuscaloosa with a score of 3-0. This victory marks their third conference win. Alabama’s goalkeeper AJ Crooks was named SEC Freshman of the Week on Monday. Her ability to collect saves will be key in the Tide’s defense this week. Last week, the Rebels (8-42) defeated top-dog Florida after Molly Martin scored the winning goal with only 14 minutes left on the clock. “Massive result for us,” head coach Matt Mott said in a press

conference on Monday. “They are ranked in the top 25 and their RPI was 11 going into the game, so it was a big-time win for us and our resume.” Three days later, the Ole Miss soccer team landed in Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs, however, the result was not what they wanted. The Bulldogs defeated the Rebels with a close score of 2-1. Earlier in the season, Mott expressed the need to finish chances. His concerns are no different six games into conference play.

“You have to have a good first touch, and you have to finish all the way through with consistency and tempo,” Mott said. “And at times, we just don’t have that in front of goal, so we have to find some more consistency in our ball striking. If we can do that, we are going to finish some more of these chances off.” Alabama holds the No. 5 spot in SEC standings while Ole Miss holds the eighth. The only difference is the conference records. “They are sitting at 10 points.

We are sitting at eight points (in SEC play),” Mott said. “It’s a big, big game for seeding and trying to get to The Beach.” In 2018, these two stout teams battled ferociously in Tuscaloosa. After Ole Miss scored seconds before the clock ran out in the first half, the Rebels kept a strong defensive shape in the second half and were able to hold their lead until the final whistle was blown. First whistle will be blown at 6 p.m. at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium.

Targeting suspensions shorten depth along Rebel defensive front JOSHUA CLAYTON

thedmsports@gmail.com

The Ole Miss defense will be without inside linebacker Jacquez Jones and defensive end Tariqious Tisdale for the first half of the Texas A&M matchup after both were called for targeting against Missouri. NCAA rules dictate that he lmet-to-he lme t contact confirmed as targeting after review in the second half of the contest results in the offending player’s disqualification from the rest of that game as well as the first half of the next game. Jones was the first to leave the game at the start of the third quarter. When Mizzou quarterback Kelly Bryant scrambled and slid to the ground, Jones went to the ground with him and made head-to-head contact with the defenseless player. Tisdale was disqualified in the fourth quarter. “The thing with Jacquez was just so unfortunate. I don’t know. It was kind of a half-slide, half-hit, half-touch. It was kind of a weird deal,” defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre said on Monday. “I understand why they called it and why they did. But I don’t know how you practice that one. I really don’t. The guy slid really, really late and stayed upright and he’s trying to pull off. It was kind of a weird deal. But that happens sometimes. They need to protect the players and they need to make sure they emphasize the rules.” MacIntyre also announced his d isp le asure w it h the targeting penalty enforcement, explaining that he believes each penalty should get the same time amount of suspension, similar to hockey. “I like enforcing the penalty. I think the penalty is correct and targeting is correct, but

the enforcement is wrong,” MacIntyre said. “You do the same crime, you should pay the same time. I think it needs to be changed and it needs to be looked at hard. They’ve tweaked it a little bit, but I think they need to tweak it further, so that one kid doesn’t miss 55 minutes and another guy misses 35. That’s not right. That’s not right at all.” The absence of the two defenders leaves the Rebels in a less-than-ideal situation on the interior in the first half against Aggie quarterback Kellen Mond, who shares a common skill set to Mizzou’s Bryant. “Similar. He is good enough to run it, and they have designed quarterback runs. That’s the difference,” head coach Matt Luke said. “It’s not just scrambling or zone read. They have some powers and some quarterback counters schemed up for him to run the football. Then, when you have a guy that can do that as well as throw it, it presents challenges.” The suspensions will force the Rebels to call on more backups on the defense to produce. Jones replaced injured starting linebacker MoMo Sanogo, and Tisdale was filling in for Ryder Anderson, who’s been dealing with a knee injury since the California game. “Guys have to step up. No different than an ankle injury or anything else. Next man up,” Luke said. “Hopefully make it through the first half, and they’ll come back fresh for the second half. You got what you got. You don’t get to pull anyone else up. KD Hill has to step up inside. You may move Josiah (Coatney) or Benito (Jones). Those three defensive linemen are interchangeable, so I think we have some flexibility there.”

“Intruder in the Dust” celebrates its 70th Anniversary CAROLINE NIHILL

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Oxford residents and Faulkner fans gathered in the ballroom of the Chancellor’s House on Sunday night to celebrate a cornerstone of local history. At the near end of A Literary Bit of Faulkner, the Oxford Film Festival and the Chancellor’s House hosted a screening of “Intruder in the Dust” to celebrate the film’s 70th anniversary. The film was last publicly shown five years ago at The Lyric. “Intruder in the Dust” depicts the investigation of a murder by a lawyer, his nephew, their worker’s son and an elder of the community. The film was shot in Oxford along with other Mississippi locations and included local residents.

Audience members were able to see landmarks and parts of the town that haven’t changed all that much over time. The Chancellor’s House hosted the event after partnering with the Oxford Film Festival because of its involvement with the arts. “I want (Chancellor’s House) to be an art mecca. I want us to be a place where artists can come. They can work, they can sell their work,” sales and marketing manager Clifton Odom said. The hotel features art from Oxford Treehouse Gallery along with local memorabilia. In about a month, the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council will be donating Faulkner’s old writing desk to the hotel.

OPINION College: Necessary but hard to access SOPHIA MERUVIA

thedmopinion@gmail.com

Earlier this month, I was speaking to a friend who was in obvious distress. She had just sold her required textbook for her biology class to pay for the remaining amount on her bursar. Without economic support for her family and no way to afford to pay the rest of her tuition, she sacrificed a tool needed for her education to continue her education at the University of Mississippi. This situation saddened me and brought to my attention the growing financial crisis on our own campus. In college, there is a general expectation to be involved in as many extracurriculars as possible while maintaining a social life. The high cost of tuition and fees seems, to many, as an obstacle to higher education and a better life. Without proper introduction on how to afford a seemingly normal college experience, the conclusion is quite clear: Ole Miss must provide more resources to better equip students with the knowledge of how to manage finances for school and provide more need-based grants for low income students. The University of Mississippi offers no courses on how to manage the expenses of college. I believe my friends that are skipping meals to simply afford a textbook would benefit in many ways from money managerial courses, and I’m sure there are multiple other students out there doing the same. Ole Miss offers EDHE, a first year experience class and makes it out to be of utmost importance, but where are the money management courses? How does one’s liability to pay for a higher education affect their quality of life? A 2017 study using government census data found that 52% of college students are working jobs 27 weeks a year, with 24% of students saying that they are held fully responsible for covering all of their college costs. If these students are working over 27 weeks a year to fund living expenses, tuition, food, etc., when will they have

time to study, build resumes with extracurricular activities or enjoy the simplicity of hanging out with friends? The average yearly cost of in-state tuition in the U.S. (20192020) is $10,116, but the actual costs are much higher. The burden placed on students to excel academically while paying costs (books, food, transportation) is too much to expect from people who are usually straight out of high school. With many students being clueless to the difference between subsidized, unsubsidized, consolidation and federal loans, the expectation for 18-22 year olds to even apply for them is honestly ridiculous. A staggering 70% of students said that they planned to use their own earnings and savings to pay for their education without help from their family. One-half were using scholarships, while the other half were using loans. According to The Hechinger Report, as many as 40% of low-income students accepted to college will choose to not attend, due to the inability to pay back loans, afford off-campus housing or even afford things as basic as food. With as many as 35% of employers expecting a bachelor’s degree for entry-level jobs, the pressure to receive a higher education is placed on students’ backs. Even though these are problems some students may never have to face, or even consider, we should all care. It could be affecting any of your classmates. With high school degree holders half as likely to be employed as someone with a higher education degree, a college degree significantly increases one’s possibility of employment. These issues cannot be solved until colleges increase the amount of resources to guide students through financial processes and provide more need-based grants. If higher education is really the goal, make it more accessible to all, not just the financially secure.
