Every time University Police officers get ready for a shift, they pin a golden “B-5” pin above their right shirt pocket as a tribute to a fallen officer. “B-5” was Robert M. Langley’s radio call number. Though he died on Oct. 21, 2006 during a campus traffic stop, he had a lasting effect on the community. Several of the officers who worked with Langley on the UPD force, now work at other law enforcement agencies including LCS Deputy Lynn Webb and OPD Major Sheridan Maiden. Before UPD, Langley was a member of the Mississippi National Guard and served in the War in Afghanistan. Nearly 100 friends, family and fellow officers gathered Friday at the Paris-Yates Chapel to remember Langley. He left behind a wid-

lead that it wouldn’t relinquish as it downed Ole Miss 38-21. “It’s very frustrating. You go out there and practice hard every day and try to do the things and we make little mistakes that turn into big mistakes playing against teams of this caliber,” Defen-
sive Coordinator Dave Wommack said. “That’s what you play against every week. There comes a time where you have to execute with 11 guys doing what they’re supposed to do.” The Rebels looked overwhelmed. They were out-

Bay, Michigan as home. “It’s the pinky of the state,” Andrews laughed. “Down here I always use that metaphor and everyone’s like, ‘What they heck are you talking about?’ But when you’re in Michigan or on the east coast, they’re like, ‘Oh yeah.’ They get it.” He left the pinky to study business management and Spanish at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. When he graduated in July, his degree came with a “What’s next?” decision. “About a year and a half ago, I was becoming so connected to what was on my phone and what was on my tablet,” Andrews said. “The digital world was starting to sort-of overshadow my face-to-face interactions with the people around me. I started become disconnected in that sense.” He said he noticed it most at the dinner table or hanging out with friends, when everyone was looking at their phones instead
of each other. This observation is what started his campaign, Let’s Talk. “I thought a journey was a good way to capture people’s attention in a positive way because not only was I traveling and getting the chance to speak to people about the issue, but I was getting a bunch of different perspectives,” Andrews said. Let’s Talk. is all about improving people’s quality of life and finding balance. “It’s all about that other side, the positive side of the coin of what you learn, how you grow, and how communities get stronger when you invest in taking the time, face the fear, and have those face-to-face conversations,” Andrews said.

Cross-country journey makes pit stop in Oxford

After trekking 30 miles from sun up until sun down in the pouring rain, Chris Andrews arrived in Oxford. His feet ached, his clothes and cart were sopping, and he was only a third of the way through his journey. “Oxford was like a haven for me,” he said. Andrews, 22, made a weekend pitstop in Oxford during his 3,000-mile, 200-day journey. It’s all on foot and it’s all for a cause. He began his trip just south of Washington D.C. in Fairview Beach on the Potomac River. Andrews wants people to be on their phones a little less but talk to people a lot more. Born in Argentina, Andrews has lived all over the world from Chile to Mexico to the east coast and Michigan. He also studied in Scotland, but claims Suttons
