There was a somber tone to the post-game interviews after the Rebels lost 35-31 in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to the Auburn Tigers. The Rebels are not only dealing with their second loss, which most likely eliminates them from playoff contention but also with the injury suffered by star sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. Treadwell fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle trying to score what would’ve been the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter but instead resulted in a fumble. The interviews eschewed the normal format of reporters peppering the players and coaches with questions about the stratePHOTO BY: CADY HERRING

Oxford National Guard Armory changes to pavilion LANA FERGUSON

Last week, the destruction of the old Mississippi National Guard Armory, located on the corner of University Avenue and Bramlett Boulevard, was halted. Most of the building was demolished, except for the structure’s
foundation. Now, there are plans to turn what is left of the building into a pavilion. Oxford Director of Public Works, Bart Robinson, is in charge of the transformation process. “The building was outdated and in a state of disrepair,” Robinson said. “The city clerk saw the state
of the demolition and contacted me with the idea, realizing that the board had discussed building a pavilion on the site.” Currently, it is unknown what is going to be done to turn the structure into a working pavilion, but it will take an estimated $100,000. Robinson said a few of the initial thoughts were to add a new roof,
lighting, fans and landscaping. “The pavilion will be open to the public, but details of the availability have not been determined,” Robinson said. “I will work to provide a plan to the Board of Aldermen.” The building has served many functions like a headquarters for state highway patrolmen and
most recently an O.U.T. transit. Robinson said no set schedule has been determined for when the pavilion will be completed. “Until we are sure what will have to be done to the structure, there is no way to set a time frame,” he said.
