Ole Miss women’s basketball defeats CBU Page 6

After two extremely tough losses against LSU and Auburn, the Ole Miss football team got back on track against Presbyterian, winning 48-0 in the first shut out victory for the Rebels since 2012. It was obviously a very important game for the Rebels to win, but there was a big emphasis for the game put on getting players healthy and developing backups and younger players. “It’s a happy locker room in there. Some of the joyous things that happened today are seeing kids like (freshman defensive back) John Ratliff get a catch, who has spent years as a walk-on in this program, (senior defensive back) Lakedrick King breaking up a pass on third down, (sophomore offensive lineman) Talbot Buys and (senior linebacker) Billy Busch and all those guys that don’t get to experience that week in and week out,” head coach Hugh Freeze said after the game. “It was a lot of fun to see our teammates be successful. It was quite rewarding.” The depth of Ole Miss was shown Saturday in the shut out victory. The players who don’t normally get any reps during games and practices got the opportunity to shine, and they did. Posting a shutout on defense, especially with guys that don’t get the opportunity to play, is something the defense

UM recognizes November as Military Appreciation Month TAYLOR BENNETT

Cadet and veteran recognition at Saturday’s game was the first among many events that will be held on campus for Military Appreciation Month. A month-long celebration will be held during the month of November in honor of those who have served in the United States military. The events started this past weekend with flag football games
played by military cadets before the Ole Miss football game against Presbyterian, as well as the game being the Veteran’s Appreciation Football Game. “This month is a continuation of what we’ve done for the past couple of years. In the past, we had a Veteran’s Day ceremony, which is really the only thing we did in regards to the university,” said Michael W. Howland, coordinator of Veteran and Military Services at the university.
Howland came to the university in 2010 to take over the Army ROTC and decided to reestablish the Chancellor’s Review, in which the chancellor inspects all of the ROTC cadets enrolled at the university. The Chancellor’s Review then became an additional event during Veteran’s Week at the university. This year, the Chancellor’s Review will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in front of the Lyceum. “In 2013, I retired from the

Pittman Hall – formerly Ridge North – was officially dedicated to Crymes and Scarlotte Pittman on Friday. The Pittman family most recently donated $1 million to the university, bringing their overall total donations to their alma mater to $6.6 million. The dedication ceremony was held in the Ridge courtyard, surrounded by Minor Hall, Burns Hall and the new-
ly named Pittman Hall. The ceremony began with a word of welcome from university attorney and Chancellor’s Chief-Of-Staff Lee Tyner, who extended an invitation to a reception and tour of Pittman Hall after the event. Tyner was followed by Brandi Hephner-Labanc, vice-chancellor of Student Affairs. “This building represents a home away from home,” Labanc said. “Without the sup-

Shoutout to the Yoncé fans who spend more time shading Blue Ivy than they do supporting her mother Beyoncé. The BET show “106 & Park” presented what they thought was a comical segment on the top six things Blue Ivy thought about at the MTV VMAs, where her mother performed this year to celebrate receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Chris Brown’s girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, who is chasing a man with not even half the net worth of Blue Ivy, appeared on the show and imitated Blue Ivy, saying, “I really did wake up like this — because my parents never comb my hair.” She’s two, yet here we are, a grown woman, making jabs at a toddler. Later, Tran had the audacity to tweet that she loves Beyoncé. No. You are not a Beyoncé fan if you pride yourself in shading Blue because in reality, you dissing Blue’s THE DAILY

hair is not an attack on Blue but an attack on Beyoncé’s parenting skills. I have never seen a larger number of insecure women who feel the need to go in on the way a twoyear-old wears her hair. Why does Beyoncé need advice from you on how to do her daughter’s hair? She is Beyoncé. She is Queen. Yeah, Blue Ivy has a little kink in her hair, and I am sure many of you do, too, hence the perm or weave or whatever various ways you might choose to alter your natural hair. There was a petition with 5,639 signatures asking Beyoncé to “take care” of Blue’s hair. So how would supporters of the petition like her to “take care of it?” Perm it? Yank and pull on it, so Blue can be edgeless like many of your children? Many people turn up their noses when they see black women of all ages wear their natural kinks and curls, and too often, they seem to forget that under those preferred chemicals and bundles, there is a little Blue Ivy in

most of us. Blue Ivy is two. Her entire life she has been subject to commentary that her being natural is not good enough. She needs to make adjustments to her texture of hair, so she can be pretty enough, because having perm in your head is what makes you pretty enough, right? And I am sure that all of you dimes out there criticizing the spawn of Beyoncé definitely make Beyoncé herself look like Chucky. Outside of the fact that you believe the child needs a perm, let’s just address the obvious. Blue is Beyonce’s daughter. In case you did not know, Yoncé is flawless, so no matter how ugly you think Blue’s hair is, she still shares Beyonce’s chromosomes, making her flawless as well. Flawlessness is genetic, and Beyoncé empowers so many women into believing that it is also contagious in a world that tries to convince us that we have to look a certain way to be pretty. Unfortunately, saltiness is most definitely contagious, too, so you

That’s one of the reasons that Michael Howland is here,” said Danny Blanton, director of Public Relations and a veteran. “Being a veteran myself, veterans have a tendency to feel forgotten in this society, and it’s important for students to understand the sacrifice veterans have made,” Blanton said. Military Appreciation Month will conclude with the Egg Bowl Run on Nov.
The Egg Bowl Run was started last year by Master Sgt. Matt Hayes. The game ball will bear the signature of head coach Hugh Freeze and be carried by Ole Miss ROTC cadets in front of the Ole Miss football team during the Walk of Champions Saturday, Nov. 25. “It’s important for students to appreciate and understand the sacrifices these people are making,” Blanton said. “Veterans don’t get rich for being in the military and going and

During the game, we spend a lot of time recognizing veterans and the military on the campus and throughout the community.” The United States Army’s Jazz Ambassadors will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts. According to Howland, last year’s performance was held by The United States Navy Band. “What we’ve tried to do is basically build on what we had from the beginning with legacy events that we had created at Ole Miss and then add things to it that could compliment on-going things that we were trying to do in the future,” Howland said. “The university has made a big push, especially in the last couple of years to show their appreciation to veterans and to make veterans feel welcome

In Calhoun City, they will exchange the game ball with Ole Miss ROTC cadets during a short ceremony. The Ole Miss ROTC cadets will then finish the 47-mile run all the way back to Oxford. The event is expected to begin at 5 a.m. and end around 9 p.m. Following the Egg Bowl Run, the game ball will be on display in the Ole Miss Student Union and put up for auction.

I think it’s important for students to take the time and think about that.” “It’s great to see students supporting our military in any way they can because it’s important that those who serve know we support and respect what they do — that they are undoubtedly appreciated,” said Rebecca Whatley, junior Navy ROTC cadet. “And I think it’s important to show support for the ROTC because they are the future of our mil-

According to Gershon, Room 2086 in the Robert C. Khayat Law Center was made possible due to the Pittmans’ generosity. A large sum of the donations from the Pittman family was donated directly to the law school at Ole Miss in the form of endowments that were co-created by Crymes Pittman and his fellow lawyers in the firm he founded, Pittman, Germany, Roberts & Welsh, L.L.P. Pittman also served as the law school chairman for a few years as well. “Crymes is an example of what a lawyer should be,” Gershon said. Ole Miss Athletic Director Ross Bjork also made an appearance at the ceremony. Along with welcoming Pittman to the ceremony and thanking him for his continued service to the university,
Bjork said, “The Pittmans embody everything that is great about Ole Miss. A one of a kind name for a one of a kind man.” The ceremony ended with Crymes Pittman himself thanking everyone for the recognition. Of the university and its student, Pittman said, “I love this school, and I love education. The future of mankind depends on our ability to educate. We learn every day of our lives. If a church is not building, it’s not growing. And that’s true for a university as well.” The renaming and dedication of Ridge North to Pittman Hall marks the end of the Ridges. Ridge West was renamed Minor Hall in 2013, and Ridge South was renamed Burns Hall earlier in 2014.

Movie review: ‘Interstellar’ COLTON HERRINGTON cjherri1@go.olemiss.edu
Rating: B-
Director Christopher Nolan – known for a repertoire of fantastic movies that includes “The Dark Knight” and “Inception” – reaches for the stars with “Interstellar” but may have missed the mark this time around. As with their previous films, Christopher Nolan and his writer brother Jonathan Nolan bring a rich world to life on screen in “Interstellar,” and, initially, this formula works. The film begins at the dusty farmhouse of Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) – a widower, farmer and former engineer and astronaut – and his daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy), son Tom and father-in-law Donald (Jon Lithgow) somewhere in a United States that is recovering from a recent war and famine caused by a biological pest called “The Blight.” In the years after the global conflict, nations and armies have dissolved, dust storms rage across the world, and the most important industry becomes farming corn, which is the only crop that is “Blight” resistant. After a series of strange events involving clues left behind by Murph’s “ghost” in her room at the farmhouse, Cooper finds himself at a bunker that now houses what is left of NASA. As a last effort to save the human race, Professor Brand (Michael Caine) enlists Cooper, his daughter Amelia Brand (Anne Hathaway), Romilly (David Gyasi) and
makes Christopher Nolan so excellent as a director – he is a master at slowly and steadily building to a huge climax and giving the audience just enough to keep them invested. But “Interstellar” is more like a rocket that, after hours of preparation, finally launches to only disintegrate before even leaving the atmosphere. The film is a cinematic masterpiece until the third and final act. Until that point, everything works so well that it’s almost overwhelming.

counter on their journey – excels in his short but pivotal moment in the film. The cinematography and production design are both dazzling. The moments in space are hauntingly beautiful, cold and detached. The hypnotic score by Hans Zimmer – who frequently collaborates with Nolan – is probably the best work he’s done in years and perfectly accentuates the mystery of space. But the third act is like a black hole sucking in all of the excellence up to that point, leaving the audience lost and lonely in a dark abyss. The word “unfulfilling” was specifically created to describe “Interstellar.” Instead of just being a science fiction movie about interstellar travel, the film expounds upon themes inherently present in the plot – love and sacrifice –
through a New Age lens. While focusing on these themes is perfectly fine – the relationship between Cooper and Murph is central to the plot – the focus skews into something muddled and strange. Perhaps the oddness and confusion of the third act is just Christopher Nolan admitting that time and space are actually unfathomable and incomprehensible concepts that he couldn’t mold into a satisfactory ending. Next time, Nolan should leave space to the experts. NASA, I’m looking at you. Overall, “Interstellar” is a beautifully made but disappointing epic, and just like last year’s “Gravity,” you should probably see it in theaters to get the full experience. Hopefully, though, your journey into space will be more enjoyable than mine.

The Rebels ran away with a 111-41 exhibition victory over Christian Brothers Friday night. The team was led by freshman Toree Thompson, playing in her first collegiate game, scoring 25 points and dishing out nine assists. Assisting Thompson in the backcourt was sophomore transfer Erika Sisk, who scored 13 points, and returning post player Tia Faleru, who had 14 points and pulled down seven rebounds for the Rebels. A theme of the night for Matt Insell’s squad was their defense. They consistently used full court pressure throughout the whole game that equated to 24 turnovers and limited Christian Brothers to 30 percent shooting.
fore we have to get where we have to get to, but this is a good step for us.” The game was in hand early on, which allowed Insell to play everybody, including six newcomers that included five freshmen. “I didn’t know what to expect. I know we have some really, really talented players. I didn’t know how they would react in their first college game,” Insell said. “We broke film down. We had scouting reports. We went through things in practice. I was very pleased with the carry over they had.” Freshmen Kelsey Briggs, Shandricka Sessom, A’Queen Hayes and Sarah Porter all heavily contributed to the win. Briggs scored 12 points, all coming from beyond the arc, where she was 4-of7. Sessom had seven points and pulled in five rebounds. Hayes tallied six points and dished out four assists. Porter also chipped in seven points. Insell’s up-tempo PHOTO BY: JASON ZHANG pace gave way for Toree Thompson shoots the ball during Friday’s game. his Rebels to shoot “It was great.

“Coming out and taking control of the game from the tip; that’s what we have to do with our pressure defense,” Insell said. “We look more like we want to look defensively there tonight.” Like Insell said, he wanted to take control of the game from the start, and that’s what he did. Christian Brothers never threatened, and, by halftime, the lead was at 5125. By the time fans started to show up for the men’s game later that night, the game was well out of reach to the point that the Lady Rebels outscored Christian Brothers in the second half 60-18. “Really excited to come out and obviously play really good.

It’s harder than you think sometimes to get those shutouts.” Picking up a much-needed victory after two SEC losses in a row is huge, especially from a confidence standpoint. Freeze feels that the team is in a good place, right now. “I’m happy to be having wins and be sitting where we are with two conference games left,” Freeze said. “I was able to sit quite a few guys today, and some got very few reps. Hopefully, we’ll be as healthy as we’ve been in a long time in a couple weeks when we travel to Fayetteville.” The Rebels had a huge day on the ground, racking up a total of 402 yards on 36 carries.

Wilkins said. “I give it all to them. They put up huge holes for us to run through.” Another notable backup to see extended time during the game was redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Buchanan. Buchanan completed six out of his seven pass attempts and looked very comfortable running the offense. Redshirt freshman quarterback DeVante Kincade also played well, with 7 for 8 through the air for 70 yards and one touchdown. Kincade also picked up 34 yards rushing on seven carries. Buchanan talked about the time he got on the field and how it helps him further on. “It felt good to really get back on the field,” Buchanan said. “You go through practice a lot and get a lot of reps in practice but finally, to get real reps in the game in front of your home crowd is always fun.” Freeze liked what he saw of Buchanan from a mental aspect. “Ryan sees things without us having to tell him,” Freeze said. “He sees what our options are, and he usually makes the right decision, as to which one he’s going to, so that was good.”

Jarvis Summers, while still nursing a sore ankle from preseason, led the Rebels in scoring with 16 points. “No, not really – I’m just playing the game,” Summers said when asked if his ankle hurt during the game. “I just have a different mindset; I don’t feel the pain. ” Andy Kennedy and the Rebels will open regular season play at 7 p.m. Friday night against Charleston Southern.

Ole Miss men’s basketball defeats Delta State 97-58 JIMMY ANDERSON
Jbander2@go.olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss Men’s Basketball team followed the women’s team by blowing past Delta State with a score of 97-58 in their exhibition win Friday night. After being close with Delta State at one point where it was 16-14, the Rebels proceeded to blow the game open to take a 50-26 halftime lead then go on to win in blowout fashion. “Mission accomplished for us. It was a dress rehearsal, and we got a lot of guys a lot of minutes,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “I was able to play a lot of the new guys a lot of minutes. We did some things that we can learn from in our upcoming days in preparation for our opener next Friday.” Andy Kennedy used a multitude of players, including many newcomers. Of those newcomers was junior Stefan Moody, who scored 14 points, along with junior Roderick Lawrence, who had 14 points as well, including 3-of-4 from behind the arc. Senior Terrance Smith
also chipped in with 10 points. “I played 11 guys in double figure minutes,” Kennedy said. Kennedy’s new team forced 29 turnovers, which led to a ghastly 53 points off them. It seemed like every player Kennedy put in the game was locked in defensively. Whether it was being tight on ball pressure, getting hands in the passing lanes or contesting shots, the Rebels were there. “We are more athletic. Moody, on the ball, is a difference maker because he is so quick and disruptive, and Newby is now a junior. He has a better understanding of angles,” Kennedy said. “We just have a lot of different pieces we can mix and match so that we can be productive.” All of that productivity allowed the Rebels to shoot the ball at 50 percent from the field and over 40 percent from the three-point line. Sophomore Sebastian Saiz pulled down 11 rebounds for Ole Miss, and new frontcourt partner M. J. Rhett followed with eight points and four re-
