Campus Recreation welcomed community members to “Terror in Turner” last night. Our staff photographer took a walk through the haunted house to capture some of the scares.
You’ve probably seen “Halloween,” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” but what about “Don’t Kill It,” “Antibirth” or “Little Evil”? Read about these underappreciated films and more inside.

City police UM Hillel reacts to synagogue shooting investigate attempted kidnapping MORGAN GUSELLA
THEDMNEWS@GMAIL.COM
The Oxford Police Department released photographs and a statement on Tuesday offering details about an attempted kidnapping that took place near campus during the Auburn football game weekend. According to police, the assault happened between 8 and 8:10 p.m. on Oct. 20 near the Ford Center parking lot. A woman, who has not been named, was grabbed from behind as she was walking east on Van Buren Avenue. She was able to fight off the attacker and ran to a nearby residence where she called 911. “The suspect goes back to his vehicle, which was parked in the Gertrude Ford Center parking lot, and left, going west on West Jackson Avenue,” said OPD Captain Hildon Sessums. The department’s statement, which can be found on OPD’s social media accounts, included video stills of the person of interest, who is described as a white male, approximately

UM senior Katherine Levingston was in shock when she first heard about the shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh that left 11 people dead on Oct. 27. “It was just very shocking to see it happen in a temple because it was always something I would hear about
growing up, about how it happened in the past, and it was very shocking to hear about it happening now,” said Levingston, president of the University of Mississippi Hillel, a group for Jewish students. Authorities say 11 people were killed and six were injured at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when Robert
Bowers opened fire with an AR-15 and several handguns last Saturday. The mass shooting is the deadliest attack in U.S. history on Jewish people in America. University of Mississippi Hillel’s faculty adviser, writing and rhetoric professor Wendy Goldberg, said she was troubled because she “didn’t know who had been injured” and was
worried about the people there. “It makes me wonder if we’re going to have to have security at our events, unfortunately,” Goldberg said. “That’s something that worries me.” Levingston expressed her wish that the Jewish community discuss what has

ASB calls for creation of polling place on campus HADLEY HITSON
THEDMNEWS@GMAIL.COM
The Associated Student Body Senate unanimously passed a resolution urging Lafayette County to create a polling place on the university campus for local, state and national elections at its Tuesday night meeting. “We want to get students more civically engaged, especially here
in the Lafayette-Oxford community,” said Sen. Anna Hall. “The county supervisors are ultimately the ones that have the deciding power about polling places in the county, but this is us saying we endorse them putting one on campus.” Hall worked with ASB Sens. Nick Weaver and Will West alongside ASB Director of Voter Registration and Elections Jarrius Adams on this
resolution to improve student involvement in elections. “The committee on external affairs and the committee on academics are highly dedicated to increasing voter turnout here at the University of Mississippi,” Weaver said. “Having a polling place on campus would be a great first step toward accomplishing that.” The authors said there are still logistical issues prevent-
ing the creation of a polling place on campus, and they hope this resolution will put pressure on Lafayette County officials to solve them. “Lafayette County has one of the lowest turnout rates and lowest registration rates in the state, which is crazy because with the university, you would think that students would be engaged, but that’s not the case,” Sen. Jarvis Benson said. “Students
really do want to be engaged, and students really need to be engaged. We deserve to have a precinct and polling place.” Benson was among several senators, including the ASB Attorney General’s office, who said that they want to offer Ole Miss students more opportunities and incentives to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

What Megyn Kelly’s comments show us ALEXUS SMITH
THEDMOPINION@GMAIL.COM
What is racist? It is an irrelevant topic, right? I mean, if you are a widely known TV personality, you have all rights to voice whatever you desire when you see fit. After all, you are important enough to be idolized by millions across the nation. Freedom of speech makes it possible for you to voice whatever opinion you want in this country, but does that give you a right to sport such a demeanor toward a rather grim topic that haunts Americans’ everyday lives? Last week, for those who weren’t tuning in to “Megyn Kelly Today,” Kelly started with her usual introduction. But no one was prepared for how this
normal episode would take a turn that reflects just how some wounds are still too fresh to be spoken upon. Her actions are still something that we must learn from, and they indicate how crucial it is that we ensure that we learn that America is still suffering from problems sparking from race relations. “You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween,” Kelly said about blackface. “Back when I was a kid, that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as a character.” Again, I ask you, what is racist? Megyn Kelly showed signs of almost being blindsided by the fact that, just earlier this year, Roseanne Barr was fired for similar actions. This

should have been a warning to not dare to cross the line into this treacherous territory. It was to be equally expected that she, too, would be cancelled if she dared to say such, and yet she did not seem to remember or note that. The final question I pose to all is this: When is it alright to speak on such a topic? Most would say that Megyn Kelly was in the right to speak on the topic, as it is her given right as an American. We cannot censor her because that would invalidate her rights. Yet, to those who have lived through the era of blackface, they would see this as being highly offensive and downright ignorant for anyone to say. With her position and subsequent influence she has over others, whether she knows it or not,

Megyn Kelly has degraded the African-American race simply by saying that it was “OK” to wear such a costume. As a nation, we must make sure we look to the future in order to achieve more than having to purposely or accidentally open wounds that make older generations worry about the younger generations. We must ensure that situations like this teach youth the value of morality and how certain remarks take a bite out of some individuals. We need to remember that if we must ask ourselves if something is OK, then it is more likely than not that it is wrong to do. So, I’ll ask again, in closing: What is racist?

SUE PATTON-BEY
THEDMOPINION@GMAIL.COM
My mother and I attended a self-motivation lecture on Saturday in Memphis. After the program ended, I went through my social media to see what I had missed in the last couple of hours. A friend had posted on her Facebook wall, “Jewish friends… major hugs ... How are you holding up? Here if you need to talk.” Her post puzzled me at
first; however, it only took me a second to feel an eerie sense of dread. People don’t need hugs unless something terrible happened. The story of the synagogue was still developing when I checked my BBC app, but essential facts were already present. A man had walked into a synagogue in Pittsburgh during a Shabbat morning service and proceeded to murder 11 Americans in cold blood while screaming, “All Jews must die.” When an attack or shooting happens, it’s a common habit for Muslims to verify whether or not the perpetrator was a member of our faith, not to minimize or belittle the tragedy but simply to brace ourselves for impact, scrutiny and guilt by association. Oddly enough, this time
my concern was more on the bigger picture: the crime itself, its overall significance and what it says about our country. The old saying is “Bad things come in threes:” first, the failed assassination attempts targeted at Democrats earlier this week, then the murders of two African-Americans at a Kroger, and now, the worst anti-Semitic attack in our country’s history. Although I am horrified, I am not surprised. We live in a time and a place where the shameful have not only become shameless but proudful and powerful, as well. Since his days as a candidate, President Donald Trump has done anything but disassociate himself from white nationalists and neo-Nazis.
And worse, they know he supports them, or at least that he isn’t bothered by them. I understand that there might be some who may argue that the president never publicly endorsed neo-Nazis or the KKK. Disturbingly enough, there has been a surge of neo-Nazis and white supremacists running as Republicans for office, which is really twisted, considering that most Tea-party, “traditional” Republicans have an undying love for and loyalty to the State of Israel. Or at least they claim to. How will they explain to their Jewish friends that they side with people who believe the Holocaust was a hoax? Communities across the country have shown so much support for and solidarity with the Jewish community.
Within three days, the Muslim community has managed to raise $180,000 for the synagogue shooting victims. It never ceases to amaze me how a little good can come from something so tragic and evil. But that is what is unique about humanity: even the darkest of acts can bring unity and understanding. To my Muslim and Jewish Americans: look out for each other. We are both Americans and minorities. We are both facing the same hate and ideas that expelled both of us from Spain centuries ago, and it is crucial that we look to our similarities and common goals in the days ahead.

people were at a place of worship, where people would think is a very safe place to worship and express and be who they are, and to have that safety just taken from them,” Levingston said. Levingston and Goldberg both said they advocate for awareness and education about these events and about

Weaver said the ultimate goal of increasing voter turnout among university students could also manifest itself through cancelling class on Election Day or reinstating a polling place in the Jackson Avenue Center. “We’re also looking to lobby Lafayette County for the redistricting in 2020 to make a specific district, specifically for the University of Mississippi,” Weaver said. Weaver said the university administration supports the creation of a polling place on campus and has proposed the Inn at Ole Miss, the Tad Smith Coliseum and the Gertrude C.

NOW SHOWING SPOOKY MOVIES ON NETFLIX YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY SEEN ZACH HOLLINGSWORTH
THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM
When you think of Halloween, a lot of great things probably come to mind, like trick-or-treating, going out to the bars or, the best of all: spooky and scary movies. Halloween is the perfect time to watch all the classics of the horror genre. Despite how nearly perfect films like “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” are, they all have one problem: more likely than not, you’ve already seen them. You may have watched them last Halloween or the Halloween before that or just at some point earlier this year because you were in the mood for a horror movie and you knew they were great. So, what are you to do if you want to watch something scary this Halloween while still keeping it fresh with something you haven’t seen before? Never fear! There are those of us, like me, who have taken the time to peer through Netflix’s horror catalogues to find the unknown classics.
‘Don’t Kill It’ Every student at Ole Miss needs to watch “Don’t Kill It,” and every incoming student should be required to watch it just to soak in how truly great it is. Why? It’s scary, and it involves an ancient demon that possesses the innocent folks of a small town. But it’s also funny, thanks, in large part, to its lead actor: former top dog, action movie star of the ‘90s, Dolph Lundgren, who gives a tour de force performance as demon hunter Jebediah Woodley. But the best part of all? It takes place in and was shot on location in Mississippi. Definitely reason enough to give it a watch.
‘Antibirth’ Fair warning: “Antibirth” is one weird and gross movie. You think that you’ve seen body horror? This is the body horror of body horror. It’s like “Rosemary’s Baby” on acid. It’s also incredibly weird, with plenty of drugs and neon and hallucinations to make your head spin faster than that of the girl from “The Exorcist.” But if you can make it through these more bizarre elements, what you’ll find is a weirdly beautiful movie that, above anything else, is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

‘The Transfiguration’
Milo is a vampire. Or maybe he’s not. By the end of “The Transfiguration,” we still don’t really know for sure. But he’s definitely killed people, he’s definitely drunk their blood and he definitely loves vampire movies more than anything. While “The Transfiguration” may be a slow burn and not what you’d expect from a typical horror movie, what unfolds is a story that makes the viewer question what’s scarier — a vampire living in your apartment building or being killed by the people who aren’t living there.

‘Pavilion Presents’ hosts Native American poetry reading ISABEL SPAFFORD
THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM
Students and faculty gathered in front of the Pavilion on Tuesday afternoon, some standing, some sitting in chairs and some sitting right on the ground, all listening to the individuals holding a book and a microphone read their favorite poems by Native American authors. This event, titled “Itimanupoli” from the Choctaw word meaning “to converse,” was organized by Caroline Wigginton, associate professor of English and director of undergraduate studies for the department, as a way to kick off Native American Heritage Month, celebrated in November. “Much of the energy, for a lot of reasons, has been around race and history and ethnicity around African-Americans and white people,” Wigginton said. “This means that here in
particular our Native American populations are hidden.” English professor Ann Fisher-Wirth chose to read a poem by Linda Hogan, the Chickasaw Nation’s writer in residence. She read the poem “The Harvesters of Light and Water” from Hogan’s book “The Book of Medicine.” “I love Linda Hogan’s work. She’s a novelist and an essay writer and a poet and she’s a dear friend of mine,” Fisher-Wirth said. “She’s such a lyrical, grounded, loving and fascinating writer.” Aimee Nezhukumatathil, professor of English and creative writing, chose a poem by Natalie Diaz, an author of Mojave and Latinx decent, titled “From the Desire Field,” for a very specific reason. “I wanted to choose a love poem. I wanted to choose a desire poem,” said Nezhukumatathil. “Not very often do you

Native American housing and the settlement of the Keepseagle Case, which centered around the allegation that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had discriminated against Native Americans in its loan programs. Mannery said he was able to relate to the works more than he had anticipated he would. “I didn’t know what kind of style they might have, but it was really familiar to me for some reason,” Mannery said. Wigginton said she organized “Itimanupoli” to help students understand the modern experiences of Native American populations. “(Mississippi has) a federally recognized nation, (and has) ties to removed nations that are in present day Oklahoma, but nevertheless these populations are invisible,” Wigginton said. The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is the only Native American tribe federally recognized in Mississippi. According to its website, there are currently 10,000 members of the tribe, and its lands span across ten counties, covering 35,000 acres. Other tribes who historically lived in Mississippi — the Biloxi, Chickasaw, Houma, Natchez, Ofo, Quapaw and Tunica tribes — were forced out of Mississippi in the nineteenth century during the era of Indian removal. These tribes are now primarily located in Oklahoma and Texas. To conclude “Itimanupoli,” Wigginton asked the audience to join together in saying “Yakoki,” meaning “Thank you” in the Choctaw language. She reminded the audience how long the Choctaw people took care of the land Mississippians now use. Students can visit the Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement’s website for information on upcoming events to celebrate Native American Heritage Month.

This is an instrumental song — the only one on the list. It is hard to convey a spooky feeling without words, but this song does it really well with its staccato rhythm, a metronome-like “ding” and the maniacal laughter interspersed throughout.
What sort of Halloween playlist would this be without a song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show? It was a tough call between this song or “Time Warp,” but, ultimately, Tim Curry’s voice and general familiarity put this song above all others on the cult classic’s soundtrack. While some people may prefer the later covers of this song, nothing beats the original. Plus, even if you have never seen the movie, everyone knows how to respond when asked, “Who you gonna call?”

Connor Beth Ball and Ellen Hutchinson-Kay led the Rebels in the final round, shooting a 71(-1) and 70(2) respectively. Hutchinson-Kay’s 70(-2) in the final round set a new career best for the freshman.
Johnson ended her final round with an exclamation mark, recording a hole-in-one on the 72nd and final hole of the tournament. “It felt so good to end the fall season in that way,” Johnson told olemisssports. com following her dramatic hole-in-one. “After an off day, I’m glad I could put a good
swing on the ball.” Assistant coach Drew Belt was impressed with Johnson’s hole-in-one after the tournament, but he reiterated how much work the team needs to complete before the spring season begins. “We’re pleased with how we finished, but we still have a lot of work to do before
our championship season in the spring,” Belt told olemisssports.com. “With our hole-in-one from Julia, it will be a great flight back to Oxford.” Ole Miss will return to action Feb. 25 when they compete in the Bruin Wave Invitational.

C.J. Miller returns, preaches physicality at practice JUSTIN DIAL
THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM
Coming off the bye-week, Ole Miss’ secondary will get a much-needed bolster as sophomore defensive back C.J. Miller returns from injury. Miller has been sidelined with a nagging ankle injury for the past few weeks, forcing him to miss both the Arkansas and Auburn games. The bye-week, however, provided an extra week for Miller to recuperate. Along with the bye-week, the emergencyaddition of Armani Linton to the secondary allowed him to take a patient approach in his return to the field. “Yes, (the injury) did kind of did (linger),” Miller said. “We just tried to take a little bit more time cause we had to get back into SEC play and we had Armani (Linton) to come help and make some plays and step up at that position to give me a little more time to get ready.” Linton has been a pleasant surprise to this point in his return to the secondary. He moved from running back, back to his original spot with the defensive backs earlier this season due to a plethora of injuries in the group. “I feel like he stepped up,” Miller said. “He’s taking the role well. He already knew the plays from last year and he just came back from

Auburn won the game 31-16. running back.” Miller’s return will also affect how the coaches use defensive back Myles Hartsfield, a versatile player who can play all of the positions in the secondary. “Having C.J. back really
helps us out because Myles is a guy that does a lot for us,” assistant coach Jason Jones said. “(Hartsfield) can play strong safety, free safety, nickel (or) we can put him at corner. It sort of frees us up if a guy needs a (break) at a
certain spot we can plug Myles in. So getting C.J. back is a big boost to the defense.” At Tuesday’s’ practice, Miller noted the Rebels’ lack of physicality during the second half of the Auburn game. Miller watched from the

sideline as the Auburn offense put up 21 points on Ole Miss’ defense in the third quarter en route to a 31-16 Rebel loss. “During the second half I didn’t feel like we were physical enough,” Miller said. “Everybody played like they could, but we just had to get that week out of that bye-week, and now I feel like everyone is ready to come back and go.” Jones agreed with Miller, echoing his sentiments about needing physicality from the defense, and specifically the defensive back group. “That’s what we (started talking about) last week during the bye,” Jones said. “When you’re playing in the SEC, you have to play the game a certain way. It’s a physical conference, this is a physical game and you have to play physical, you have to play it for 60 minutes. That’s what we’ve been talking to the guys about for the last two weeks, and that’s what we expect when we go out (on the field).” It has yet to be seen if the Ole Miss defense can play physically for a full 60 minutes. The Rebels have held only one of their opponents, Kent State, to less than 20 points so far this season. If the Rebels want any shot at competing in their final four conference games, the defense must play with more physicality and consistency down the stretch.

Rebels fall to Razorbacks in SEC Tournament quarterfinal CHANCE ROBERTSON
THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM
Ole Miss fell 4-0 to Arkansas in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament in Orange Beach, Alabama, on Tuesday. The game got off to a bad start for Ole Miss Soccer, conceding three goals in the opening seven minutes of the game. The first goal came from a corner kick that bounced around in the box and was put away by Arkansas’ Tori Cannata on the second effort. Next came an own-goal that came from a Rebel’s attempt to block a shot that deflected away from the outstretched arms of freshman goalkeeper Morgan McAslan. The Razorbacks’ Taylor Malham was able to get it past McAslan on a one-on-one for the third goal despite great efforts from the keeper and
defender, Grace Johnson, who nearly cleared the ball off the goal line. CeCe Kizer almost got one back for the Rebels two minutes later putting an outside the box effort inches wide of the post. “I thought we had a chance to get back in it in the first half once the barrage ended,” head coach Matt Mott said. “(We) created some really good chances and (they) just wouldn’t go in. They’ve been going in for us kind of all season and they didn’t go in (tonight), so that’s obviously disappointing.” Gabby Little came on in the 24th minute and played an incredible ball that looked it had opened the scoring for the Rebels, but the goal was disallowed as it had crossed the byline before she whipped in the cross. The Rebels missed yet

another opportunity to score when sophomore Channing Foster pulled a shot just left of the post two minutes after the disallowed goal. The Rebels had some excellent build-up play towards the end of the half, but a shot by senior defender Ella Frischknecht sailed over the crossbar following a pass from Lonnie Mulligan. The Rebels showed hope again as McAslan made a difficult one-on-one save to start the second half and Kizer took a hard-driven shot in the 53rd minute, but it was right at the keeper who easily smothered the ball. Arkansas would make it 4-0 in the 58th minute, and while the Rebels continued to fight, they could not find the goals to get them back into the game. “I liked the way the team battled,” Mott said. “Now it’s on to the next one.” This was not the way the team wanted to end their SEC season. However, despite what the scoreboard suggests, the Rebels were quite competitive in this game, creating multiple good scoring opportunities that just didn’t fall. The Rebels also had two goals scored against them off of unlucky deflections that changed the trajectory of the game in Arkansas’ favor. The Ole Miss team came into this game riding a three-game win and clean sheet streak but was unable to keep the good results going. The Rebels are now hoping their regular season resume is strong enough to get them into the NCAA Women’s College Cup tournament as one of the 33 at-large teams. Ole Miss will find out its fate during the selection show on Nov. 5. “I think we’re in a really good spot,” Mott said. “When you look at the body of work we’ve done a really good job. Now we have to wait and see what happens on Monday.”
