Other members hang a Spanish banner in the pulpit and bring in a guitar for worship service. Retired Ole Miss Spanish professor and current vocational deacon of 15 years Penny Sisson remembers when she and others began the Spanish-speaking service. In 2000, Hispanics made up
1.39 percent of Mississippi’s population. Since then, the population has doubled. According to Pew Research Center, 80,000 Hispanics live in Mississippi, making up 3 percent of the state’s entire population. In July 2015, the nationwide Hispanic or Latino percentage was 17.6 percent, a 1.3 percent rise
from April 2010. In 1998, Sisson and Kathy Gray, who both taught English as a second language, saw an influx of Hispanics coming through the Oxford School District. This lead to starting a worship service for Spanish-speaking residents.
fore drinking. There have been nine water line breaks in Lafayette county this year, according to Karen Walters, director of compliance and enforcement with the state Bureau of Public Water Supply. In regards to Twelve Oaks, Walters said the utility company has taken precautionary measures to prevent another break from occurring after the restrictions were retracted on Sept. 24. “It’s our understanding,” Walters said. “that [Twelve Oaks Utility Company] have provided an additional construction entrance that could keep some of the heavy equipment from damaging water lines in some areas.”
Since January, water utility companies such as Anchor Water Association, Twelve Oaks Utility Company and Harmontown Water Association have issued boil water alerts for their systems. These utility companies supply water to thousands of residents within each district, and when their systems malfunction, their residents are affected. “We received phone calls related to residents being without water, which is why we initially contacted the water system officials,” Walters said. “Most of the boil water alerts issued are precautionary due to line breaks or other conditions that cause a pressure loss,” Walters
said. “On rare occasions, some are state-imposed and are issued due to E. coli found during routine sampling.” On March 11, the 2,000 residents using the water system of Anchor Water Association were affected during a boil water alert. On Aug. 17, several line breaks caused system wide pressure loss for Delta Rain, the Wellsgate Water Association company, which resulted in 1,200 residents having contaminated drinking water. Walters said many of the water companies are working toward fixing the issues that cause boil water alerts. “If there is a problem with their treatment, they obviously work

The Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans have rekindled a lawsuit against Ole Miss over a plaque placed on the Confederate memorial statue on campus this week. The original lawsuit was filed in Sept. 2014, but two days after a revised version of the plaque was placed on the monument, the suit moved to circuit court. “We’re confident in our position that the university has not done anything improper or that violates,” University lawyer Lee Tyner said. Tyner has served as chief legal officer for Ole Miss since 2003. “We ultimately believe the lawsuit will be resolved in our favor,” Tyner said. When the original plaque language was released, many groups on and off campus were dissatisfied including the Confederate group, Ole Miss English faculty, Ole Miss history faculty, Ole Miss history graduate students and the Ole Miss chapter of the NAACP, as well as others. “I find it remarkable that a group that claims to be dedicated to preserving the legacy of those who fought to establish the Confederacy would find issue with the plaque as it currently stands,” Ole Miss History Professor Anne Twitty said.

14 water lines break over seven months in Oxford BRYCE DIXON
thedmnews@gmail.com
There have been 14 documented water line breaks since April 2016 in Lafayette County, according to County Supervisor David Rikard. When the Mississippi State Department of Health issued the boil water alert for Twelve Oaks Estates on Sept. 9, most residents did not expect the restrictions to last more than two weeks. Twelve Oaks residents were instructed to follow health safety guidelines and advised not to use or consume their tap water without boiling it first or adding a small amount of bleach to it be-
to correct the problem,” Walters said. “If there are line breaks, they try to repair using a hot tap rather than shutting the water off, but sometimes this is not possible. With both of these scenarios, they would likely do additional flushing prior and check chlorine residuals throughout the system prior to collecting samples. Often providing a better product incurs cost to their customers, and often their customers are not willing to pay a premium for quality above the minimum standard.” Wells for the City of Oxford received moderate-to-high rankings of susceptibility to contamination,

Looseleaf textbooks cause a myriad of problems students

Textbooks. Generally, as students, we do not like them. They are expensive, mostly useless and you have to sacrifice most of
your day standing in line just to buy them! But do you know how they get worse? By making loose-leaf textbooks. I do not know how many of you have had the misfortune of having one of these paged inconveniences, but they are fairly prevalent in STEM and business majors. I personally am on my second one, even after attempting to tactically avoid them. You may ask, “What is so bad about them?” Well, there are a few things I find troubling. First of all, you can not turn more than about 15 pages at a time without either ripping the pages or the pages not turning at all. I know this sounds like a minor incon-

venience (maybe even a first world problem), and it is, but it gets worse. Say you want to check your answers in the back of the book. Well, you better cancel your plans for the evening. However, my larger problem lies in the concept of looseleaf textbooks. When you buy your looseleaf textbook, it comes as just a neat stack of paper policed by some shrink wrap. And that is it. Binder sold separately. Then they have the audacity to try and tell you that they’re doing you a favor. They say, “Look! Loose-leaf textbooks!

way you want!” Shouldn’t a loose-leaf be less expensive, since it is made of less material? You would think, right? But no. What Pearson is really telling us is, “We are going to sell you less of a textbook, without a binder, and still charge you the same amount. What are you going do about it?” It would be like if you went to a restaurant, ordered a chicken parmesean, and about 45 minutes later, the waiter came out with a knife, a tomato and a live chicken, and smiled and said, “Well, have at it. Bon appetit. Oh, wait, and you will have to buy your own plates. That will be $20.” You would be outraged, and

now you have a new pet chicken, and pet chickens, much like loose-leaf textbooks, are useless. In all seriousness, loose-leaf textbooks are a problem, and make learning more difficult for students, especially those that lack the attention span required to pedal through pages of a loose-leaf textbook. Pearson and other textbook companies would be wise to eliminate this difficult part of student life from their product lines. James Halbrook is a sophomore chemical engineering major from Brandon.

NEWS CHURCHES
continued from page 1 Sisson said they worked to start English classes and the Spanish worship service. “When we started, no other churches had it. But once we did, they followed suit,” Sisson said. Sisson lived in Mexico after graduating from school and said the service is a great way to give back to the people there. “Our service is the same as English, except we sing, worship and pray in Spanish,” Sisson said. “We even celebrate weddings, baptisms, conversions, memorials and quinceañeras.” McMillan leads the Spanish service every Sunday and has been associate rector at St. Peter’s for 14 years. He is the 21-year pastor of Christ Church in Holly Springs. McMillan said his neighbors used to translate for him when Hispanics would come to him for spiritual help. As more and more Spanish-speakers came to him, 45-year-old McMillan decided to study Spanish at Ole Miss under Sisson. According to McMillan, there are approximately 45 Hispanic members of the church, including Mexicans, Central and Southern Americans and Anglos. “Putting myself in their shoes,
THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 18 OCTOBER 2016 | PAGE 3 I would appreciate having a service in my first language,” McMillan said. “They love Jesus like it’s nobody’s business; that warms a preacher’s soul.” Coincidently, when McMillan finished his studies, the associate rector position opened up at St. Peter’s. He took it. The impact of St. Peter’s extends beyond its front doors . The church often writes its members letters of recommendation and helps some apply for citizenship. Penny Sisson said she believes the church has raised the value of education, as many members end up as first-generation college students. The Episcopal church provides scholarships for higher education to minority groups, and Sisson said she helps students navigate through the application process. Christian Sanchez, a junior criminal justice major, said he benefitted from the church’s support. Sanchez and his family came to St. Peter’s when he was in third grade after the Roman Catholic church stopped offering Spanish services. “I feel like this church brings people closer together because of its small number,” Sanchez said. “Spiritually, I have a better understanding of what the priest is trying to say.”

fineries, leaching from wood preservatives and erosion of natural deposits. As this water travels over the surface of land or underground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances and contaminants. Though there have not been any reported cases of serious illness due to drinking contaminated water, these substances can still cause sickness. “Typically there are gastrointestinal issues referring to bacteriological contaminants such as E. coli. We are not aware of any
illnesses related to drinking water in Lafayette County, though,” Walters said. Concerns about water safety have been voiced, and Oxford does not take these issues lightly, according to the 2015 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. “The City of Oxford works around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap,” Walters said. “We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.”
ates themselves make members of the SCV squeamish, then perhaps they should reevaluate the goals and purpose of their organization.” Twitty said she would encourage all Mississippians to read Confederates’ own statements about why the South seceded from the Union. “They were not ashamed of their willingness to tear the nation in two in order protect the right to continue holding other human beings in bondage,” Twitty said. “They didn’t pull any punches about their motivations. Neither should we.” The Confederate group’s local
chapter, the University Greys, President Larry Mardis said he has not been involved in the state division’s efforts to sue Ole Miss. Maris said he has not read the new plaque language, but said because there are so many structures on campus that have ties to Civil War history, he wonders if it would be exhausting to have a contextual plaque on every single one. Mardis said the history of Ole Miss will remain for people to interpret for themselves for generations to come. “You can’t change history,” Mardis said.

Square Books hosts ‘The Statue and the Fury’ author ETHAN DAVIS
egdavis1@go.olemiss.edu
1997 was a year to remember in Oxford. Among others, icons such as Willie Nelson and Henry Kissinger came into town, and the university was making amends with James Meredith, the first black student ever to enroll at Ole Miss. Needless to say, Oxford was humming with important people and events. However, in the midst of these large names and significant occasions, a strange controversy broke out about a statue honoring the 100th birthday of William Faulkner, Oxford’s most famous son, and a magnolia tree that had to be removed to make room for it. A reporter for the “Oxford Eagle,” Jim Dees—now an author and host of “Thacker Mountain Radio”— was assigned to the story. “The Statue and the Fury” is the title of Dees’ latest book, and it follows the events of that quirky year in Oxford. Dees saw both the humor and truths that emerged and kept nearly all of the newspapers for that year as well as his notes from his interviews. “This Faulkner story broke, and it started becoming unintentionally funny in places and ironic in places and cool in places,” Dees said. “As events happened during that one year I knew then … it was
COURTESY: AMAZON.COM
going to be a book. I just knew it would peg enough things people had heard of, and then I could throw in all the Southern eccentricities and good ole Oxford weirdo stuff. My only intent was to write a funny story.” Though the plan was to chroni-
cle a humorous year, the book explores many aspects of Southern life, including more serious topics such as race. During our interview, Dees laughed as he remembered thinking he would write a diverse Southern story without race. “That was another reason I
thought it was a good story because it wasn’t just about white people,” Dees said. “It was a good, diverse story. It took in the whole ball of wax from every angle of Southern life that you can think of. When I started it, I thought, ‘I’m going to do this whole thing, and … It’s going to be that rare book about the South that doesn’t have any race in it.’ That’s how naïve I was. Of course, when I got through with it, it was probably over half about race.” Many of the events and themes in Dees’ book relate to controversies still alive today. Everything from race to the state flag came up that year, and “The Statue of Fury” offers perspective to help us remember the debates we have now are much older than we are. “Current students at Ole Miss will certainly recognize Oxford, will recognize the whole flag debate in the book,” said Dees. “In fact, the students now will shake their heads…when they realize we’re still talking about the same stuff.” Dees credits his time as a reporter and all the experiences he had in 1997 as a major force in his life, and he thinks that the experiences that are in the book are valuable for everyone. “My reporting job, I just loved it, and while I was doing it, I knew I was going to write a book about
it. I just didn’t know it was going to take 20 years. It certainly is part of everything I do now.” Despite the historical facts and sometimes serious content in the book, Dees did not write a depressing story. “The Statue of Fury” is an amusing story because Dees believes there is more than enough grave news in the world. “I hope it’s entertaining. I hope that it’s a break for people that are reading very weighty books. I mean, it touches on some life and death stuff, but I hope it’s entertaining. There may be a little bit of offensive stuff in there, but I hope everybody’s cool with that, too.” Square Books will host Dees today at 5 p.m. as he talks about and reads a selection from his book. Though he has yet to decide which part he intends to read, Dees said he will pick something that will let everybody leave feeling good, because “The Statue and the Fury” is not truly about controversies or disputes; it’s about Oxford. “This book is about a bunch of things, but really, at the heart of it, it’s about Oxford and what a sweet little town it is,” said Dees. “Yes, people say it’s changed, but if you walk outside your door right now and walk around the Square, it’s still a beautiful town. I’ve lived here 30 years, and I’m just glad I wrote a book about it.”

The Game’s newest album ‘1992’ is only half good AUSTIN HILLE
ahille1234@gmail.com
Possibly the two most underrated and slept on albums of modern hip-hop are The Game’s “Documentary 2” and “Documentary 2.5,” which were both released last year. With the most interesting song constructions and strategic features I have seen in my many years of rap fandom, the two albums will always be like the “Low End Theory” that goes unheard by most. However, this lack of recognition has not slowed The Game down. Less than a year after the release of “Documentary 2.5,” he is back with his throwback-esque project, “1992.” With only one feature present on the nearly hour-long album, the weight is now officially on his shoulders to craft a masterpiece. It doesn’t take long for us to figure out what this project is all about. The opening track, “Savage Lifestyle,” immediately throws the listener into a brutal statement regarding police brutality and ultimately calls the black population to make a violent revolt for justice. There are mentions of arson, bricks through windows, killing law enforcement and much more. The tone present in the track is certainly that of being fed up, and with no viable options available, The Game goes to what he feels to be the next logical steps. “True Colors/It’s On” pushes to address the violence created by gang activity and allegiance in areas such as Compton, where The Game is from, all the while tying in overall racial tensions in the United States throughout the narrative. The song takes a much more clever route to conveying its message, ultimately playing up the concept that gang members are killing each other over mere colors. “Bompton” certainly does not match the overall depth or insight of the previous tracks

in “1992.” With a personal narrative regarding one of his interactions with the police and his drug-dealing days, the song is certainly an interesting story to hear but really doesn’t contribute much to the album overall. Following this track comes an interesting interlude-type track entitled “Fuck Orange Juice.” The Game uses intricate word-play to compare his situation as a black man in America to the O.J. Simpson trial, eventually coming to the conclusion that if he is going to get caught, he doesn’t want it to be for something like stealing
football cards. The following three tracks follow a similar path to “Bompton.” Although each offers an interesting insight to the kind of life lived by The Game, they don’t have much of a significant impact on the project as a whole. However, this offers a perfect opportunity to discuss the production of the project, which is excellent, to say the least. Consisting of mostly sample-based beats, the sound stays true to the album’s name, heralding back to the era of 1990s West Coast hip-hop. “1992” does cater to some modern trap vibes on songs
like “True Colors/It’s On” and “I Grew Up on Wu-Tang,” but not in a way that disrespects the essence of what hip-hop was always supposed to be. The beats put the emcee in the limelight and allows for true poetic discourse. Speaking of which, “I Grew Up On Wu-Tang” is probably the next highlight track on “1992.” Every album has to have one flex track, and, although most come off as increasingly haughty or just ridiculous, The Game is quite tasteful in how he boasts his success. Perhaps the thing really setting him apart here is just how
calmly he flows on the track. I think he recognizes yelling doesn’t necessarily add any sort of emphasis to his lyrics and uses his laid-back flow to truly set his art apart. After this track, there doesn’t seem to be much worth mentioning. Things sift out a bit more and really all start to sound the same. It really is a shame; the first half of “1992” had such great potential to uphold his legacy, but with the last half of this album, it is evident The Game has fallen short from his previous endeavors.

they’d like to further secure their status with a strong showing in the final stretch of the regular season. “It was certainly a good and very important win for us,” Coach Matt Mott said. The ladies will take on Georgia this Thursday, whose 1-7 record doesn’t quite coincide with the type of team they are, according to Coach Mott. “They’ve struggled a bit on paper,” Mott said. “But as far as us knowing who they are, the type players they have, it’ll be a difficult test.” On Sunday, the team will head to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt, who is just ahead of Ole Miss in the SEC standings with a 4-3-1 record.

Freeze talks about facing former boss Ed Orgeron CODY THOMASON
thedmsports@gmail.com
On Saturday, Head Coach Hugh Freeze will go up against a familiar face but an unfamiliar foe when the Rebels take on the LSU Tigers and the Interim Head Coach Ed Orgeron. Orgeron was the head coach at Ole Miss from 20052007, and he hired Freeze as assistant athletics director for external affairs in 2005. Freeze would later be named the Rebels’ recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach
and then became the wide receivers coach while serving on Orgeron’s staff. Freeze said the two have kept in contact. “I have reached out to him several times [while he was] at USC when he got the interim there, and then here when he did,” Freeze said. “We spoke last week, actually, about some things that were going on, and everyone comes up with their own opinions, but I am so indebted to Coach Orgeron.” “I have great respect for him and everything that he has

meant to my career,” Freeze continued. “He gave me an opportunity just to come here and be in an off-the-field position, and to learn from him in recruiting and the things that I watched him do and how persistent, and how he did his things with great passion. I learned a lot from him, and I am very indebted for the opportunity and the time I had and the opportunities he gave me.” Freeze said the whole team had to improve to get ready for a talented LSU team, one

that will potentially have star running back Leonard Fournette back after missing most of the Tigers’ game against Missouri and all of their game against Southern Mississippi. “We all know the talent that they have at receiver, and they are utilizing that now. At running back, they are always special there,” Freeze said. “Offensive line-wise, they are good, and the quarterback is making great decisions. They are doing a really nice job there defensively, and they have always been one of the best in the country and continue to be that. I think we are playing one of the better teams in the country this Saturday night, and it is a great opportunity.” The Ole Miss defense has struggled this season, ranking dead-last in the SEC in rushing yards allowed per game. The linebacker position has played a significant part in that, and all year Freeze and Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack have said the group has struggled filling their run fits. Freeze is changing up the coaching plan in an effort to finally fix the Rebels’ run defense woes. “We have assigned [gradu-
ate assistant] Christian Robinson to take the Mike linebackers this week and coach them from this point forward. Dave will handle the stingers to try to get more attention to them in practice.” As a whole, the team came out of their loss to Arkansas relatively healthy. Defensive tackle D.J. Jones left the game with a bruised elbow but is expected to play against LSU. Receiver A.J. Brown had a slight knee injury but isn’t expected to miss time. Quarterback Chad Kelly and tight end Evan Engram had minor injuries as well, but both practiced on Sunday and are expected to play. Freeze was eager to move on from last week’s loss and focus on the upcoming rivalry game against LSU and the chance for the Rebels to keep the Magnolia Bowl trophy another year. “This one, I know, means a lot to our people,” Freeze said. “We will educate our young kids on the history of it this week and hopefully get them prepared to go and play in another hostile environment and to play better than we did last week.”

Ole Miss looks to be resilient heading to LSU BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
When Ole Miss trudged off of the field and out of a rattling Razorback Stadium 0n Saturday night, it knew its goals had to be altered. With two SEC losses and Alabama looking utterly invincible, its preseason aspirations of winning the SEC and making the College Football Playoff had been dashed. The loss stung. It was evident on the faces walking into the tunnel and out of the field. It was evident in their words. “Losing hurts,” Chad Kelly said after the game. “I know all of those guys are hurting right now. We’ve just got to come back and get on the same page and build some momentum on the offensive side of the ball.” Freeze alluded to previous moments in his tenure in which his team has responded to adversity. Ole Miss hasn’t lost back-to-back games since 2014. On Monday, the message was the same. Freeze did acknowledge the difficulty of keeping his team motivated. “I think this is when you find out a lot about yourself, your team and your kids. It won’t be done just because I come to work and say we are fixing to bow up and get it done,” Freeze said. “It is going got take a collaborative effort from a lot of people and a lot of kids, and a lot of young kids that this is a bit foreign to when expectations aren’t quite met early on. I again preach to them that this life, this football team, it is not about an individual event; it is about a journey.” One of the difficulties of playing in a league like the SEC is that there is no recovery time. Ole Miss executed poorly in Fayetteville and was hurt by the running game. A few days from now, it will have a similar challenge to
the one it had last Saturday. It will be tasked with going on the road and into a hostile environment in Baton Rouge at Death Valley and stopping an LSU running game led by one of the best backs in the country in Leonard Fournette and complimented by Derrius Guice, who has shouldered more of the load in the absence of Fournette in recent weeks. Fournette injured his ankle against Auburn, but Guice has kept the train rolling with 325 yards on 33 caries in the last two games. “It will definitely challenge us to respond having Arkansas attack us in the rushing game, and then going up against two good backs,” Zedrick Woods said. It was reported on Monday that Fournette would likely be ready to play on Saturday. He ran for 108 yards on 25 carries in the game last year in Oxford, and the Rebels will have their hands full with Guice right behind him. “They have, in the last few weeks, offensively put up a lot of big numbers, 600 and something yards, 400 or so in the other, and I think just 44 plays,” Freeze said. “We all know the talent that they have at receiver, and they are utilizing that now. At running back, they are always special there.” Life in the SEC usually brings a unique challenge each week, and though Ole Miss’ original goals may be unattainable, the Rebels’ tune won’t change. “There is a lot more stuff than people think we are playing for,” Kelly said. “We are playing for pride. We want to win every game regardless of the outcome of the game before. We want to win every game. I hate to lose and so do the guys in that locker room. So for us to get over that hump, we’ve got to work even harder.”
