n the two months since classes began five sexual assault have been reported on campus -- three in dorms and two in fraternity houses.

The most recent report was a sexual assault that occurred in Stockard Hall. The assault was reported at 3:32 a.m. Saturday.

“This crime is always concerning,” Jeff McCutchen, Oxford Police Department

major of operations, said.

“As a father and a police officer, you never want anyone to have to be a victim of this crime.”

During the first few months of school, students are at an increased risk of being sexually assaulted. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), more than 50 percent of college sexual assaults occur between August and November.

According to RAINN, sexual violence has decreased in the last 20 years, but this sta-

tistic may not accurately represent the problem that is occurring, because most sexual assaults are never reported.

“Most data states that more are happening that are not being reported, and I believe that to be true,” McCutchen said.

Rebels Against Sexual Assault member Colleen Fay said while reports are always concerning, she is not shocked at the number of reports that have happened in the past two months.

“I know that 1 in 5 women

and 1 in 20 men will experience sexual assault or attempted sexual assault during their time in college, so it’s likely that the number of sexual assaults that have been reported in the last year is just a fraction of the number that have actually happened,” Fay said.

According to RAINN statistics, 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime, and

Advocacy group fights modern day slavery KATHRYN ABERNATHY STAFF WRITER

At least 20.9 million adults and children are bought and sold worldwide into commercial sexual servitude, forced labor and bonded labor.

The International Justice Mission is a faith-based international non-profit that works with governments, police forces and social workers to protect people from this slavery, rescue those affected and aid them in rehabilitation.

Ole Miss students had

formed a campus chapter to shed light on sex crimes not only around the world but also right here in Oxford.

In April, a couple was arrested for kidnapping and transporting a woman from Georgia to Oxford. The FBI is currently investigating the incident.

“Human trafficking is an issue in the U.S. just as much as it is internationally and needs to be discussed more in our communities,” Caroline Bass, junior and treasurer of the Ole Miss IJM chapter, said.

While the chapter has

been on campus for a couple of years, Bass said it is trying to build a stronger on-campus presence this year.

“While the issues of modern-day slavery and human trafficking have become more well-known in the past few years, awareness is still a huge deal,” she said.

“The more conversations we have about these issues, the closer we will get as a society to bringing an end to these awful things.”

In order to spread the word about its mission, the Ole Miss chapter is partici-

“We are hoping to raise money for the efforts of IJM but also to bring people’s attention to these issues,” Bass said.

Patterson suffers knee injury, out for year

@thedm_news

After suffering a torn PCL in the first half of Ole Miss’ 40-24 loss to LSU on Saturday, quarterback Shea Patterson will miss the remainder of the season.

The former five-star recruit was brought to the medical tent after suffering what appeared to be a non-contact injury. Patterson left the field with one series remaining in the first half, but he returned to play for the majority of the second half, noticeably favoring his left leg.

An MRI immediately after the game revealed he tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Patterson is expected to spend the next four weeks in a cast.

PCL injuries often heal on their own and do not require surgery, but another MRI following the four-week period will determine whether the procedure will be necessary.

Patterson, who entered Saturday’s game as the SEC’s leading passer, completed 10 of his 23 pass attempts for 116 yards, three interceptions and no touchdowns.

Without their starting gunslinger, the Rebels will call upon junior Jordan Ta’amu to finish out the year. Ta’amu, who played in relief of Patterson on Saturday, did not look out of place against the Tigers. Completing 7 of 11 pass attempts, the 6-foot-3, 200-pound JUCO transfer added 20 yards rushing and led two scoring drives.

Ta’amu will see his first action as a starting quarterback Saturday against Arkansas.

I can’t think of a better way to salvage the presidency of Donald Trump than with a federal investment plan for the most impoverished regions of the country, starting with the state of Mississippi.

The poorest state is also home to one of the poorest regions in the country — the Mississippi Delta. Making America great again surely should start with chronically poor regions.

There are many ways Trump could help Mississippi and, particularly, the counties in the Delta. Mississippi already receives way more in federal funding than it contributes with taxes, but more long-term investments are needed if we’re

ever to break this vicious cycle.

Education, vocational training, scholarships for college, health promotion, healthcare services, affordable childcare so that single mothers can enter the labor force and local infrastructure — all of these could benefit from more extensive long-term investment programs.

Since the president also boasts being a great businessman and dealmaker, he could also bring more economic activity to the Delta. Mississippi is already attractive to manufacturing companies because of its low wages and weak unionization. Training programs for residents of the Delta and tax breaks for companies that choose to relocate there could make the area even more appealing to investors.

To make these ideas legislatively possible, Trump could make it a part of the vague infrastructure plan he promised during the campaign. Federal aid in the form of long-term investment for the poorest state in the nation should not be hard to sell to Congress or to the American people.

Furthermore, now a month after Hurricane Maria made landfall, Puerto Rico and its struggling population of 3.5 million should be a priority.

The U.S. territory is in much worse economic and infrastructural condition than Mississippi. Structural reforms, including a path to statehood or independence, will be of vital importance there after the immediate crisis is solved.

But the president is in dire need of political victories, and it’s way too late to score one of those from the Puerto Rican crisis. After an incompetent response and a lack of focus from the president, even more doubts remain about Trump’s ability to represent those outside his base of voters.

Mississippi could be a perfect opportunity for the president to redeem himself. Besides the obvious socioeconomic benefits that a more comprehensive federal aid program would have for this state and for the U.S. as a whole, an investment plan for the Magnolia State could also be a political victory for Trump.

those who say he is only interested in the economic advancement of a white working class, and deny the growing evidence of his troublesome views on race by investing in the Delta, a region where the legacy of America’s original sin remains strong.

This would reduce the power of Democrats to question his ability to represent all Americans, and it could prove that his campaign slogan of “Making America Great Again” was not just a dog whistle for white supremacist nostalgia.

The best part is that Trump wouldn’t even have to understand the history and institutional legacy of the impoverished Delta. He would just have to see it as a political opportunity — one that would also help countless lives.

I would expect this level of reflection and political savoirfaire from the president as much as I would expect him to stop tweeting. But I would love it if he proved me wrong.

help start conversations in the campus and local community about these issues.

Mollie Bradford, junior and secretary of the chapter, said she joined the organization because she hopes to work with organizations made to help people who are suffering from injustice and cannot help themselves in the future.

“IJM is an incredible organization, and the victims they save are overlooked and abused by their traffickers and other people around them,” Bradford said. “IJM removes the victims from the situation and rehabilitates them so that they know they are worthy and important.”

this number is higher for college-age people. Fifty-four percent of reported rapes are of survivors age 18 to 34.

Millions of men in the U.S. are sexual assault survivors as well. Since 1998, 2.78 million men in America have been victims of attempted or completed rape.

Male college students aged 18-24 are 5 times more likely than their non-student counterparts of the same age to be victims or rape or sexual assault.

“RASA makes a point to educate people that men or people that do not identify with a gender can also be survivors of sexual assault,” Fay said.

“These groups of people seem to experience more obstacles when sharing or reporting their experiences.”

Those who have been sexually assaulted often face long-term effects. More than 90 percent of women who are raped experience some form of post-traumatic stress disorder two weeks following the attack. As many as 30 percent of survivors have reported symptoms of PTSD up to nine months following the attack.

For those who find themselves in the position where they see someone who might become a victim of sexual as-

sault, RAINN press secretary Sara McGovern says there are several things you can do to potentially prevent an attack, including a method referred to as “bystander intervention.”

“The key to keeping your friends safe is learning how to intervene in a way that fits the situation and your comfort level,” McGovern said. “Having this knowledge on hand

Some people believe the state’s lack of sexual education has led to people not fully understanding consensual, healthy sexual relationships.

Antonia Eliason, assistant professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law, said an “abstinence-only” style of sex education is not effective in combatting sexual

can give you the confidence to step in when something isn’t right.”

She said that while it is important to step in when a person might be in danger, it should never put one’s own safety at risk. Instead, she advised people to use simple methods to get a person out of harm’s way.

“You can create a distraction, such as suggesting a new activity, like going to get pizza or playing a game. You can talk directly to the person who might be in trouble. Ask them who they came with or if they’d like you to stay with them, or you can go to a neutral party like an RA, a securi-

assault.

“Rather than teach teenagers about safe, consensual sex, our approach is to pretend that sex doesn’t happen and to stigmatize it,” Eliason said.

“Instead of portraying sex as a healthy and natural part of adulthood, based on mutual respect and agreement, teenagers are left to figure things out for themselves.”

She said that not only does abstinence-only sex education lead to a high rate of teenage pregnancy, but it also results in victims of sexual assault being less willing to report their attacks because students are left with a stigma about sex.

Eliason said while schools should better educate students on sex and sexual assault, consent is something that should be taught and enforced at a young age.

“I have a 3-year-old son, and watching ‘Sleeping Beauty’ with him, I found myself explaining that this is a fairy tale and that, in real life, you shouldn’t go kissing people who are asleep without their consent,” Eliason said. “Lack of agency, particularly for women, is everywhere in our cultural narratives.”

Student organizations, like RASA, work to fight sexual assault on college campuses through year-round events that educate students on consent and sexual assault.

“The goal of RASA is to spread awareness of the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses and educate about affirmative consent and bystander intervention,” Fay said.

McCutchen said while these recent reports are concerning to police, he believes Oxford is a safe town because of its amazing citizens and hard-working law enforcement.

“We continue to work with the university to better protect our students and citizens,” McCutchen said. “The most important thing is that we all continue to work together to address these issues.”

Misbits’ new gallery highlights ‘techno-sublime’ JACQUELINE SCHLICK STAFF WRITER

Misbits, a new media art space, is featuring artist Eric Valosin in a show that explores the intersection of technology and the divine.

This immersive experience, “For(Loop) {Meditations;},” is named for both how a computer views an image and how people conduct meditation on prayer beads.

As the computer moves pixel by pixel to perform specific functions, one moves bead by bead in prayer.

“The installation consists of a strand of push-button prayer beads which facilitates a meditation on an image, pixel by pixel, each bead changing the color of the light in the room to the color of that pixel,” the Misbits website says.

Valosin, a New Jersey native, seeks the techno-sublime — a term coined by American art critic Hal Foster to mean sublime experiences pushed through technological mediation. In other

PHOTO COURTESY: FACEBOOK.COM

words, he creates art that allows people to experience spirituality by way of different pieces of technology.

Valosin was raised in the church but grew up in a community of diverse religious perspectives, and said that sparked his interest in the relationship between art and faith.

“I sought for many years to find an expression of the intersection of art and faith, which didn’t water down one for the sake of the other,” Valosin said. “For me, that

· DUI Defense · Drug Related Charges · Expungements · Criminal Defense

meant I had to find a way to artistically grapple with the complexities of spiritual experience in an honest way.”

In graduate school, Valosin’s existential curiosity was broadened by philosophy classes, in which he began to wonder how spiritual experiences were still possible in a post-Nietzsche world where ideas of postmodernism declared God to be dead.

At the same time, Valosin experimented with technology and realized it was the inspiration he was searching for.

“I was using technology like digital projectors in my art as a means to an end, and it became apparent that the means were becoming more interesting than the end,”

Senior HonorS THeSiS PreSenTaTion

Valosin said. “What did it mean that I was using digital mediation to facilitate an ancient, analog experience? I started asking myself how one can engage in ancient practices through the use of contemporary technology.

Furthermore, how does one do so in a way that feels ethically responsible and nuanced enough to hold up against a globalized, post-modernized context?”

Valosin conducted an MFA studio visit in the art and art history departments at Ole Miss last Thursday and has spoken at other colleges and universities predominantly on the East Coast. He teaches at the College of Saint Elizabeth in New Jersey.

“I enjoy the academic atmosphere, where I feel like there’s a real interest and hunger for the less superficial side of art,” Valosin said.

“I’ve gotten to explore some

really neat places and meet some amazing people as a result.”

Valerie Guinn Polgar, founder of Misbits, discovered Valosin on Instagram and invited him because she had not yet had a piece as fully immersive as “For(Loop) {Meditations;} in her 100-square-foot space.

“He has a strong background in and an appreciation for traditional art practices and is fully devoted to the pursuit of his concept, which led him to the use of technology in his art and to the study of religious philosophy,” Polgar said.

Valosin met Polgar and toured the space at Misbits before deciding to display his art.

“It seemed to be a perfect fit for this project I had been working on for almost three years off and on, waiting for the right opportunity to show it,” Valosin said.

This is Misbit’s final opening reception for 2017 and it will be held from 6 to 8 p.m.

Tuesday at Misbit’s location on University Avenue. This final solo show artist for 2017 at Misbits will be conducted with the Oxford Art Crawl.

Viewing hours for Valosin’s show are Monday-Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or by appointment through Nov. 14. Valosin will give an artist talk Monday at the university with the Department of Art and Art History.

Volleyball emerges from College Station with victory ETHAN WRIGHT STAFF WRITER

Following a difficult road loss to LSU last week, Ole Miss volleyball bounced back in a big way by defeating Texas A&M. The Rebels, who traveled to College Station for the matchup, have struggled to pull ahead of the pack throughout conference play. Sunday’s matchup with A&M, a fringe top-25 team in the NCAA, provided the ideal scenario for Ole Miss to erase prior mishaps and return to form.

The head-to-head, which pushed the Rebels back to .500 in SEC play, saw Ole Miss take the first two sets, only to drop the closely contested third. But Ole Miss stormed back in the decisive fourth set, earning a win over the Aggies and sending a powerful statement to the rest of the SEC.

The final set, a 25-16 declaration from Ole Miss, was the exclamation point to an impressive outpouring from several Rebel standouts. Leading the way Sunday was sophomore Emily Stroup, who contributed 13 kills on the day. She was followed by fellow sophomore Nayo Warnell and senior Kate Gibson, who added 12 and 10 kills, respectively.

As a team, Ole Miss amassed 53 kills Sunday afternoon, overcoming a somewhat low match hitting percentage of .223. The Rebels also hurdled a threeblock deficit to the Aggies en route to their impressive match win.

Perhaps the most impressive takeaway in Sunday night’s overall respectable showing was the Rebels’ ability to rebound after dropping a game. A volleyball game’s momentum can ebb and flow with barely a moment’s notice. Picking

With that said, the Rebels were not without their struggles Sunday. While they started off strong with 15 kills and a .273 hitting percentage during the first set, their second set’s totals regressed to just 10 kills and a .088 hitting percentage.

continued from page 8 ran all over the field, the Rebels’ red-zone defense was effective, forcing two field goals.

When LSU had to pass, the Ole Miss secondary covered well enough for the defensive line to get pressure on quarterback Danny Etling.

Breeland Speaks was credited with two sacks, while Marquis Haynes added one of his own.

On offense, the Rebels were balanced in yardage.

Patterson and Ta’amu combined for 194 yards, while the backs ran for 153 yards, led by Jordan Wilkins’ 86.

Wilkins broke away for a 28-yard score late in the third quarter, lowering the deficit to seven, but the Rebel momentum seemed to dwindle with a plethora of dropped passes. Add to that Patterson’s three interceptions, and the Rebels’ passing woes were clear.

A bright spot moving forward was tight end Dawson Knox’s growing role in the passing game. Knox led the Rebels with five catches and Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu steps on the field after Shea Patterson was injured in the game against LSU on Saturday.

Rebels struggle against Tigers, drop 3rd SEC match JOSH GOLLIHAR STAFF WRITER

In a game accentuated by poor run defense, Ole Miss lost the Magnolia Bowl and its starting quarterback Saturday night. With more than 64,000 fans in attendance for the first nighttime home game of the season, tensions between the two sides were high, and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium was booming.

However, after trailing by just seven late in the third quarter, the Rebels were ultimately unable to handle the Tiger rushing attack and fell 40-24. Adding to the disappointment in Oxford, it was announced Sunday morning that quarterback Shea Patterson will miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury he suffered before halftime.

The Ole Miss offense could not get into a rhythm in the game’s first half. While their running game produced 100 yards, the Rebels’ aerial attack could only muster up 56. Injuring his right knee on a non-contact play, Pat-

heading to the locker room early. Backup quarterback Jordan Ta’amu replaced

Patterson and led an impressive half-ending drive that resulted in a field goal.

Patterson returned in the second half with a brace on his right knee, and head coach Matt Luke would later speculate that it was a sprain. Following the game, an MRI revealed Patterson tore his right PCL and will miss the remainder of the season. At halftime, however, Luke and the training staff felt it was something he could continue to play through. “(The trainers) looked at (the knee) at halftime,” Luke said. “He was able to run around when they braced it, and we felt that he was going to give us the best chance to win. We were told there would not be any further damage.”

On the other side of the ball, the Rebels struggled to contain LSU running backs Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams, who combined for 379 all-purpose yards on the day. Williams made LSU’s only big play through the air, taking a screen pass for 63 yards. Though the Tigers
