Rebels look to address inconsistency

Faculty Senate to discuss state flag LANA FERGUSON

thedmnews@gmail.com

The executive committee of the Faculty Senate will meet in Bryant Hall room 209 at 7 p.m.

Thursday. The meeting has been called to consider passing the same resolution the Associated Student Body passed in a 33-151 vote Tuesday.

Resolution 15-13 requests that the Mississippi state flag be removed from campus because of the Confederate emblem it contains.

Chair of the Faculty Senate Michael Barnett attended ASB’s Resolution 15-13 meeting and said he was personally excited to see it pass and hoped the faculty would be supportive of the resolution.

This meeting is open to visitors, so spectators and media are welcome to attend and listen to the discussion.

Groups are planning to attend in opposition, according to social media posts.

A normal Friday in August 2014 turned out to be life-changing for now-senior journalism major Amber Murphy. She noticed a mosquito bite on her right breast. She found the bump to be annoying

and awkward until she reached down to scratch it, and noticed an abnormal lump underneath.

She knew something wasn’t right. Murphy’s family had a history of breast cancer, and her aunt and grandmother told her to check into the lump.

“I always had a scare of cancer, because one of my friends

in eighth grade passed away,” Murphy said. “If it could happen to him, it could happen to anyone.”

A physician examined her and immediately sent Murphy to Tansey Breast Center in New Orleans.

Walking in for her appointment, Murphy said she didn’t

realize that she was going to be one of the center’s first patients her age with a visible tumor.

Standing in the room waiting for the doctor, she remembers them handing her a white robe with the pink ribbon on it to match her ID bracelet. That

University addresses overcrowding in off-campus labs AUSTIN HILLE

Test schedules have been reworked to avoid long lines from accumulating at the math lab.

Many students at the University are familiar with the trek to the off­-campus Jackson Center Mathematics Lab to take online tests and quizzes for various courses.

The inconvenience of this method has long been a grievance for students. Due to a lack of capacity, staffing issues and budget cuts, taking quizzes at home may become an option for a variety of math courses in the future.

“In our current situation, I hope (students will be able to take their quizzes at home),”

mathematics professor and math lab administrator Robert Hunt said. “I don’t see the need for them to be exactly here to do the quiz.”

The math lab at the university was initially established for the purpose of tutoring.

Students could come to the lab and receive help from tutors employed by the math lab or hired privately by the student.

Although the lab still offers this service to the students, budget cuts from the mathematics department forced the lab to take on a new role.

Many of the university math courses switched to a hybrid format, meeting for two 50-minute lectures through-

out the week instead of the traditional three sessions.

According to the requirements set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which is responsible for the accreditation of all courses at the university, these 50 minutes per week needed to be made up in order to maintain its accreditation. The math lab offered courses as a way to make up for the lost class time through regular online homework and quizzes in a controlled classroom­ environment.

“We always felt that we wanted people to come to the lab because that was still like they were sitting in a classroom, just they were in front

The Mississippi flag: we have so many options.

Letter to the editor: Letter to the editor: First, let me say that I am proud of our student government for leading the charge towards a more accepting Mississippi. A state flag is meant to symbolize its citizens, and if a significant number of Mississippians feel that our state flag does not represent them, that flag should be changed. I believe that the ASB Senate’s resolution to request removal of the flag from campus is the first step towards the ultimate goal of implementing a new state flag.

I am not proud of the way our school’s newspaper and media went about promoting this change. On Tuesday, the Daily Mississippian created two categories of people: those who stand with them, and those who stand with the KKK. It is irresponsible and ill-conceived to say that someone with a differing perspective on a historical state symbol is a bigot and radical racist. To say that your side is correct and everyone else can be damned is reckless journalism and lacks professionalism.

Some of the opinion articles were open-minded and seemed to maintain perspective on both sides of the issue. Others, however, created labels and assigned stereotypes to people who disagreed with them. (i.e. the cartoon, and “Are you going to be standing on the same side as the Ku Klu (sic) Klan or your fellow students?”)

If we want to move forward as a state, we must start by putting ourselves in each other’s shoes. This means that we are tolerant of people of both sides of an issue. This does not mean that you label someone an extremist simply because their views differ from yours.

Last night, the Associated Student Body Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution that spoke to lofty ideals of justice and inclusivity.

I happily watched as the 33 placards for progress were raised high into the air. It was a moment for rejoicing and for commending those senators who took a small step in the march for justice.

Yet, because of the short-sightedness of someone in leadership, last night was also a stark reminder of why Mississippi deserves its unofficial title of the “Closed Society.” The (curiously late) venue shift from Weems Auditorium to Bryant Hall kept students from their promised seats in the room. Instead, in the most Mississippi of moves, the Senate closed ranks, retreated to the room that could only fit them and a few handpicked spectators, and isolated themselves from the community they pretended to care about during their soliloquies.

I was one of the dozens of students and faculty who didn’t get the venue change alert until minutes before the meeting began. (Sorry, not all of us follow the DM on Twitter.) It was frustrating enough that the Senate decided to rescind its (very public) invitation for the UM community to attend the meeting. That the substitution was an inadequately produced live-stream viewing party halfway across campus was insulting to the notion of transparency that they had promised.

The ASB Senate needs to explain the change-of-heart that led to the last-minute change in venue. Students shouldn’t accept talking points about not wanting to disrupt law school night classes. There are any number of venues that could have substituted for Weems and allowed the community a seat in the room. This was a deliberate rejection of an open forum and an act of cowardice. Students deserve answers.

Until then, let our mantra be: #FinsUp, #DoorsOpen.

of a computer instead of in front of a teacher,” Hunt said.

Earlier this semester, however, the lab experienced an influx of attendees, posing capacity and staffing concerns for the lab, sometimes resulting in lines that forced students to wait over an hour to take required quizzes.

Junior Hannah Michlink said getting to the lab and taking quizzes on time is tough to fit into her schedule.

“It’s just kind of frustrating because I have to plan everything out,” Michlink said. “I have to work around their schedule. I should be able to take my quiz at home on my time and on my terms.”

During the third week of class, lines were out the door, wrapped around the lobby and down the street, according to Hunt.

“We’re just overloaded. We are past capacity,” Hunt said.

“Something had to give at that point.”

The department of mathematics began to experiment with the idea of allowing students to take quizzes at home.

This policy has already taken effect in Business Calculus courses.

Hunt spoke to the university modern languages department and modeled the new approach after Spanish 121 courses. Language courses with online components had no problems meeting the accreditation standards set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Hunt said.

Ever since the change, lines have gone down at the lab.

But, the success of the transition for business calculus students does not guarantee similar results with other courses.

Although there are no definite plans in place yet, it is likely that college algebra students will start taking their

online quizzes at home next semester, according to Hunt.

Hunt has not talked to any other course coordinators yet about taking quizzes at home.

He fully supports the idea, though.

“Let’s face it. It’s not exactly easy to get over here,” Hunt said. Half of the students using the math lab are freshmen, and many have trouble getting to the lab. “I wish we were on campus, but we’re not.”

With this gradual transition for the math courses here at the University, one major concern is cheating.

Given the lack of supervision that is currently present in the lab and the fact that all quizzes allow open use of notes, however, Hunt said he feels the amount of cheating would change very little.

“We don’t have the people to patrol looking for cheating,” Hunt said. “Homework has always been done at home anyways. So, I guess you could cheat in any class doing homework. I guess the quizzes would be the same way in that regard. We just don’t want people sitting down and taking quizzes for others.”

Casey Vaughn, a student employee at the Math Lab, said he supports leaving the quizzes to students on their own time.

“I think it’s a common occurrence one way or the other,” Vaughn said. “Kids that are cheating are hurting themselves by not getting the material and not being able to function in a quiz and test environment anyways.”

continued from page 1 was the moment reality hit her and Murphy knew what she was about to go through.

Neither Murphy nor her mother said a word. Both were confused, wondering what the next step was. After the doctor confirmed that the growth in her breast was a tumor, he identified it as fibroadenoma, a type of benign tumor that could be kept in a breast unless it showed activity or growth.

“It’s going to be okay,” Murphy said, confidently, looking at her mother.

Murphy was determined to stay strong on the inside and out, but couldn’t help but wonder, “Why me?”

Around Thanksgiving, Murphy visited her OBGYN who noticed more than one lump in her breast. The doctor sent her to a radiologist for further testing.

Getting out of the car at the

radiologist’s office, Murphy noticed pink ribbons leading to the inside of the building. She acknowledged the ribbons as if they were taunting her in a positive manner.

“When I see that (pink ribbon) I think it is more of a comfort to know that this is something that everyone knows about women go through just like any other cancer,” Murphy said.

Sitting and waiting in the office, Murphy thought it would be just another check-up. However, the doctor noticed three lumps in her breast during the inspection.

Leaving the appointment alarmed with unanswered questions, Murphy returned back to school after the Thanksgiving holiday. She tried to stay positive during multiple phone conversations with doctors, and attended counseling sessions but still bottled up this secret.

Murphy’s mom reached out to Dean Will Norton of the journalism school for help. Norton called Murphy into his office.

Murphy said this helped her realize she had a large support

group and built up the strength she needed to finish the semester.

“They say Ole Miss is a family and I firsthand got that experience,” Murphy said. “At that point I realized that I am powerless unless I have people that pick me up and strengthen me.”

Murphy finally felt comfortable talking about her situation with several others.

With the semester behind her, Murphy knew her next step was to visit the doctor again to inquire about more options concerning her condition.

On Dec. 15, she went to a doctor’s appointment to have some mass tissue removed. The doctor told her she did not need to have her breasts removed, because the tumors were non-active, but would still need to have check-up appointments twice a month.

“I think that is one big thing I learned. I think we all stare because we don’t understand cancer or an illness, but now understanding it and being a part of it I realize there is so much more to life,” Murphy said.

Futurebirds return alt-country sound to Proud Larry’s SHELBY PACK

sepack@go.olemiss.edu

Just a few weeks after releasing their latest album, “Hotel Parties”, Futurebirds is bringing their alt-country sound to Proud Larry’s tonight at 9.

“Hotel Parties” follows the band’s 2013 “Baba Yaga” and does not disappoint. Their unique sound has only grown over the two-year gap between albums, producing some of the most powerful songs of the band’s career. Futurebirds’ six members, Thomas Johnson, Johnny Lundock, Carter King, Brannen Miles, Daniel Womack and Dennis Love, come together to create a psychedelic twang all their own that has continuously kept their fans coming back for more.

“A few of us were in school, a few of us met working,” said Carter King, vocalist and guitar player.

Futurebirds was born in the eclectic college town of Athens, Georgia, a place which drew King in with its music scene.

“Its reputation precedes itself,” he said. “It’s an awesome mix of people right on top of each other.”

The band’s name, though, is in-

spired by a more scholarly event.

“I was inspired while taking a poultry evaluation class,” King said. “Our professor was telling us about people using chickens to predict the future throughout history and it just stuck with me.”

Futurebirds has spent much of

the time since its creation on the road, something reflected clearly throughout “Hotel Parties.” The songs mirror the struggle of trying to balance life on the road and the comforts of home, as well as the dichotomy between the love of the familiar and the excite-

ment of the new.

“This is definitely an on-theroad record,” King said.

He recalled the three years they have been writing songs for “Hotel Parties.”

“How do you balance that life, going out on the road, staying at

a new place every night, meeting all kinds of new people with feeling like you want to come home and grow up with the rest of your friends? This is just us trying to figure out how to make those things work together.”

The title track seamlessly relates those bittersweet feelings.

The song starts off slow and melancholy, but by the end of the line “hotel parties are exactly what we need, hotel parties always get the best of me,” the disposition of the song shifts into something much more upbeat. This style is seen throughout the album, containing deeply poignant lyrics while remaining decidedly lighthearted in its sound, something the band has perfected.

The Georgia band remains unique in how they execute their songs and the way in which they combine their lyrics with their melody, creating music that is steadfast in its ability to please an audience. They are never repetitive, though, and “Hotel Parties” is an album that can be enjoyed in its entirety.

Futurebirds recorded “Baba Yaga” at Oxford’s Fat Possum Records and are no stranger to the city.

“We love Oxford,” King said.

In Ole Miss’ loss to Memphis, one of the biggest problems was their inability to convert on third and fourth and short.

The Rebels only converted four of their 13 third down attempts and completed no fourth down attempts, including one at their own 34 yard line that led to a Memphis touchdown.

Offensive coordinator Dan Werner addressed the third and fourth down deficiencies.

“Either we’re calling bad plays, or not getting open, or making bad reads,” Werner said. “Obviously it’s not working so we have to figure out how to get that fixed.”

Werner explained the thought process behind taking the chances to go for it on fourth and short, despite the Rebels short yardage issues.

“We’re trying to just create some momentum,” Werner said. “And obviously none of them worked, so it sort of bit us.”

The offensive line struggled throughout the game, with Memphis’ defensive front only accumulating 40 yards on 24 rushing attempts. The line took a blow early in the second quarter when Robert Conyers injured his knee.

Freeze noted that the doctors were not positive regarding the condition of Conyer’s knee, but was hesitant to make further comment.

Werner pointed out the team was already heavily dependent on the pass and another solution had to be found.

“We threw it probably way too much today,” Werner said. “So again we have to find a way to be able to hand it off and know you’re going to get it on third

Rebels are different team after shaky conference start CHRISTOPH LUDWIG

Csludwig@go.olemiss.edu

When the latest edition of the NSCAA Coaches’ Poll was released on Tuesday, the Ole Miss soccer team rose from 21st to 13th after several consecutive wins over top 10 teams. This ranking is the highest in program history, surpassing the number 17 ranking the team earned in 2009.

Their success has drawn more fans to the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium with 1,510 supporters showing up to witness the Rebels’ win over then tenth-ranked Auburn on Friday, the fifth-largest crowd in school history.

Ole Miss’s meteoric rise begs the question — does this team have staying power?

The Rebels started SEC play with losses to 18-ranked Kentucky and eighth-ranked Florida, and it appeared that another tough conference schedule would be the Rebels downfall after going undefeated against their non-conference opponents. Since their 4-1 loss to the Gators on Sept. 18, however, they’ve caught fire, going 6-1.

What’s changed for the Rebels?

Offensively, the Rebels have become much more balanced.

Freshman CeCe Kizer leads the team in goals with 11, but most of those came in non-conference play. Kizer has not scored since a loss to Missouri on Oct. 2. Her teammates have picked up the slack, most notably junior Addie Forbus.

Forbus has 10 goals this season and has scored in six out of the Rebels’ eight SEC games, including goals against 10th ranked South Carolina and against Auburn, putting a win out of reach for the Tigers. Junior Georgia Russell scored her first goal of the season against South Carolina, and senior Bethany Bunker knocked in a goal for the first time this season against Auburn. Junior Gretchen Harknett is another crucial part of the offense as she is starting to hit her stride.

Harknett leads the team in assists with six, along with three goals.

The offense is playing well, but ultimately this team will go as far as their defense can take them. Despite losing senior team captain Samantha Sanders to a knee injury, the Rebel defense has been lights out.

Only your mother could make you Feel Better Faster

The Rebels shut out both South Carolina and Auburn consecutively and were the first team to hold a potent LSU offense scoreless.

Senior defender Jessica Hiskey, who started the season as a defensive midfielder, has stepped into Sanders’ role seamlessly. After the Auburn win, multiple Rebel defenders received accolades: Hiskey was named SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Week, both Hiskey and fellow senior Maddie Friedmann were named to Top Drawer’s Soccer Team of the Week and redshirt freshman goalkeeper Marnie Merritt was nominated for the Capital One Impact Performance of the Week and made it onto SportsCenter.

Ultimately, this is a better and much more confident team than the one that opened SEC play 0-2, and if they played Florida, Kentucky or Missouri today there would be a much different score. They’ve proven to themselves and to the rest of the country that they can beat anyone. This team can make a deep run not just in the SEC tournament but in the NCAA tournament as well.
