UM sociologists conduct study on campus racial climate FERDERICA COBB
fscobb@go.olemiss.edu
One student recalled his classmates mocking their Asian professor. Another recalled a group of young men hurling sexist remarks at her sorority sisters. Yet another recounted a peer who dropped a class because the professor was a black woman. These are just a few of the diary entries from a sociology study launched in August to measure the racial climate on campus. More than 400 students have already recorded their on-campus experiences with racism, sexism, homophobia and Islamophobia. The study, called “Everyday Racial Experiences of College Students,” is being led by three University of Mississippi sociologists: Professor Kirk Johnson, Professor James Thomas and Professor Willa Johnson. The study requires student volunteers to keep a diary of their on-campus racial experiences, good or bad. Students can write about any type of ethnocentric behavior that they witness or experience. Ethnocentrism is judging other cul-
tures or groups as inferior to one’s own. Kirk Johnson hopes the study will help them to figure out underlying causes of racial issues. “So, there may be a lot of
randomness that people link as connected with, say, the noosing of the James Meredith statue or some racial slur that somebody hears in class or some racist graffiti somebody
Willa Johnson said the idea for the project evolved out of a conversation with the chancellor after a meeting. “The question came up out of this conversation:‘Is race measurable? Do we have a race problem on this campus?’” said Johnson. The study is not focusing on crimes or widely reported incidents of racism. Instead, the sociologists’ focus is to use these diary accounts to gain insight into backstage racism, which hinges on the idea that white people are more likely to express racial tendencies when they are not directly in the public eye. “I think the extent to which racism is occurring in dorm rooms and in student housing PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY: CADY HERRING and in student organizations is something sees on the way to their dorm,” that we don’t have a good grasp Johnson said. “But we’re tryof, and it’s something we need ing to understand what kind of to do a better job at figuring underlying patterns give rise to out,” said sociology professor what may seem to be chaos or disorder.” SEE SOCIOLOGISTS PAGE 4
University commemorates fall of the Berlin Wall MIA SIMS
masims@go.olemiss.edu
Twenty five years ago Sunday, the Berlin Wall was torn down after 30 years of serving as an emblem of the Cold War. This week the university commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall and the effect it had on those in Germany during that time. The Croft Institute on Monday had Ulrich Bach, associate professor of German studies at Texas State University, speak on different forms of symbolism within German cinema. He aimed to describe to those in the audience how movies play a part in the reinvention of the events in Berlin during that time. Bach compared directors Leander Haubmann and Louis Malle, describing their films’ relation to Germany’s former totalitarian government. Bach
also described in depth particular aspects of German cinema, including heritage movies. “Heritage movies appealed to international audiences, and they all deal with some aspect of Germany’s totalitarian legacy,” Bach said. Bach also spoke of Berlin School films, which he expressed portray everyday life, pay attention to precise framing and also aim for reflection over representation. Within the audience PHOTO BY: CADY HERRING were students and Ulrich Bach, associate professor of German studies at Texas State University, gives a speech on cama variety of German pus Monday. professors. “The events that tant to those of us who weren’t tional studies major. “Dr. Bach’s occurred 25 years ago when the even alive at that time,” said lecture helped to typify the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Alex Borst, sophomore interna- themes of that period through Union dissolved seem very dis-

The Croft Institute previously screened “The Legend of Rita” Nov. 3 and “No Place to Go” Nov. 5. The remaining film, “A Train to Freedom,” will be shown at 5:30 tonight and a lecture by Professor Konrad Jarausch of the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday.

It has come to my attention that peacefully walking down the street is a right that not everyone gets to enjoy. I myself have been subject to funny looks, and glances, etc., but generally speaking nothing too extreme or abnormal. Everyone should be able to say the same; however, some people find themselves becoming the subject of amusement for others.

Kudos to her for showing such an extreme amount of bravery and documenting the situation and spreading awareness. BuzzFeed released an article last week featuring pictures of women in the clothes they wore as they were catcalled. To say that it was a woman’s fault, that she deserved it or that she should not have been wearing certain things as she was victimized is completely wrong. Not to say that men cannot be victims of sexual abuse, but I have not heard of many cases where a man was continuously sexually harassed as he was walking down the street. It is inexcusable behav-

It has always baffled me how certain individuals feel they are just God’s gift to everyone else. What makes a person believe it is morally or socially acceptable to blatantly disrespect someone and force their way into their victims’ lives? There are various movements that advocate for certain rights and protections for specific groups of people.

donations for holidays KYLE WOHLEBER
kmwohleb@go.olemiss.edu
This fall, the Toys For Tots Foundation is accepting donations of toys to distribute to children newborn to age 14 for families who fill out applications for toys throughout counties in Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee. The Toys For Tots Foundation, created by the Marine Corps Reserve, is a non-profit organization. Beginning in Bolivar, Tennessee, in 1946, it gained popularity and stretched to include many other counties in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. The foundation is run locally by either Marine Corps Reserve units or, if there are not any in the area, by volunteers and/or retired marines who fill in. Lindsey Chrestmen, assistant coordinator for the Mississippi counties, volunteers her time to help coordinate the processes of getting the toys to the children. “Our goal is to instill in those children hope for a brighter future,” Chrestmen said. When Toys For Tots began, Lafayette County was originally not one of the counties covered, and, in recent years, Toys For Tots started accepting applicants from Lafayette County. “That’s how we ended up with Oxford,” Chrestmen said. “There was a need, and people were

reaching out to us, and so, we tried to fill that need, and, once we accepted them, we started reaching out and saying, ‘Hey, people here need help. Help us help them.’” Chrestmen said something unique about Toys For Tots is that they keep what is raised in the community within that community. “One thing the foundation requires us to do is to try and keep everything local,” Chrestmen said. “Everything that’s raised in Arkansas is going to stay in Arkansas. Everything raised in a county will stay in a county.” Gene Hays, a Marine Corps League volunteer, said when people decide to donate to Toys For Tots, it is best to remember the organization covers a wide age group and that a variety of toys are needed. “Most toys we receive are for the middle ages of children,” Hays said. “Sometimes, the infants don’t get quite enough, and then the older ones near 14 don’t get quite enough.” The toys will continue to be collected until Dec. 15, at which point the toys will be assigned to different applicants and taken to designated distribution points. Donations of toys and money can be mailed to the foundation; the mailing address can be found on the organization’s website.

Attorneys seek to uphold ban on gay marriage in Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi’s Republican governor and Democratic attorney general are asking a federal judge to uphold the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. The state made the request in court papers Monday, responding to a lawsuit filed Oct. 20 in U.S. District Court in Jackson by two lesbian couples and a gay-rights group, Campaign for Southern Equality. The lawsuit seeks to overturn the ban, saying Mississippi violates constitutional rights of gays and lesbians and denies same-sex couples the “rights, benefits and duties that automatically come with marriage.” Gov. Phil Bryant and Attorney General Jim Hood responded that the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases from Mississippi and two other states, has not recognized gays and lesbians as a group with specific civil-rights protections. Because of that, there is no reason for a federal district judge to give “heightened scrutiny” to claims of bias. “Mississippi’s traditional marriage laws do not discriminate,” Bryant and Hood said in court papers Monday. In November 2004, Mississippi voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being only
between one man and one woman. A federal judge will hear arguments Wednesday as plaintiffs seek to block the state from enforcing its same-sex marriage ban while the lawsuit is pending. After a series of recent court decisions, gay couples have the right to marry in 30 states. But, judges from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this month upheld laws banning gay marriage in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee. Plaintiffs in the Mississippi lawsuit are Rebecca “Becky” Bickett and her longtime partner, Andrea Sanders, who were denied a Mississippi marriage license earlier this year; and Jocelyn “Joce” (JOH’-see) Pritchett and Carla Webb, who live in Mississippi and married in Maine in 2013. The suit says Mississippi prevents same-sex couples from adopting children together or being listed as parents together on a birth certificate; filing joint tax returns; making health care decisions for each other; receiving health and retirement benefits together if at least one partner is a public employee; and being guaranteed to pass property on to a surviving partner when one person in the couple dies.
SOCIOLOGISTS
continued from page 1 Jeff Jackson. “I think a lot of the incidents that occur on this campus never get reported, and that’s because we don’t do a good job when they are reported.” Kirsten Dellinger, chair of the sociology department, said she believes this study will help students understand the extra work that minorities have to go through when they are put in discriminatory situations. “When you look at those diaries, and you look at that empirical evidence, and get a glimpse as a white person, get a glimpse of what a black person might be going through, that’s one step further towards acknowledging the problem,” Dellinger said. Participants in the study confidentially submit diary entries online on a data collection website, and the sociologists will analyze their experiences. The diary entries submitted by students cover a wide range of topics, and the students must tell when and where the incident happened. In one excerpt, a student wrote about witnessing some males yelling derogatory words at a black female bending over to get something from her car and then getting cola thrown at her after looking up. In one diary entry, a student expressed feeling disgusted after overhearing some guys joking about the desecration of the James Meredith statue last February. In another excerpt, a student expressed that his or her whole hometown feels he or she is racist because the student at-
tends Ole Miss. Diary entries are divided into six types of incidents: racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, Islamophobia, sexism, other. Out of the 336 incidents reported so far, 77 percent of the incidents chronicled so far have fallen into the racism category, 11 percent in the Islamophobia category, 8 percent in the homophobia category and 4 percent in the sexism category. Willa Johnson believes it’s important to address the various experiences people face. “Some of these issues haven’t ever been really confronted,” she said. “So, confronting these issues is really important to me. And unless we do that, these things will continue to happen.” She said the university has taken important steps such as creating the new Center for Inclusion and Cross-Cultural Engagement and creating a position for a vice chancellor for diversity. Kirk Johnson said they also want to know what components make a pleasant atmosphere on campus, so they do not want students to only write about the bad things. “Tell us about maybe unexpected good things, places where you see maybe a Christian student and a Muslim student working together on some class project or a black student and a white student who are best friends,” he said. “Tell us about that, too, so that we can think about whether any of these situations have some common threads that we can develop and encourage.” Last year there was a pilot study, but this is the first official year for the study. The
study, which is approved by the Institutional Research Board, launched in late August and currently 448 students from many backgrounds, ethnicities and religions are enrolled. There are 263 white participants, 62 blacks, 14 Asian/Pacific Islanders and the rest are mixed-race and mixed-ethnicity students. The study will conclude in May, and the findings will be analyzed, summarized and sent to administrators to inform them of the types of incidents occurring at the university. Eventually the findings may be published in a scientific research paper. Kirk Johnson believes the project will be a benefit to administrators. “We think that there are lots of ways they can use this data to think about good policies and good practices that they can put in place to make the campus environment more livable,” he said. He hopes this study will help make the university a more inclusive and welcoming environment to all students. “Not just across racial lines but also ethnic lines,” he said. “So, we want to make this place welcoming and inviting to Jewish students, Muslim students, gay and lesbian students.” There is still an open call for more participants. Some sociology professors are offering their students extra credit if they participate in the study. Participants can submit entries as often or as seldom as they like. Students wishing to participate in the study can refer to the link embedded in theDMonline.com version of this story.

The return of Pendarvis: Jack is back
pteffner@aol.com
Recycling
Jack Pendarvis first came to campus as a Grisham Writer-in-Residence in 2007 and stayed to teach fiction in the MFA and English departments until 2013. Then Pendarvis got a very important phone call. “There was an opening, and my friend Kent Osborne, who’s the head of story, thought of me,” Pendarvis said. “A couple of other people who work on the show had read my books. So, they tried me out, and I seemed to fit in, so they asked me to stay on.” Pendarvis came onboard “Adventure Time” in the middle of writing season five, in October 2012. Pendarvis will return to Ole Miss tonight for a discussion on his work with Adventure Time as well as showing some of his episodes tonight at 7 p.m. in the Overby Auditorium. The event will be moderated by Bill Griffith and is co-sponsored by Cinema and The Southern Documentary Project. “Jack is a frequent reader of Faulkner, so that’s where the spark of friendship hit between us,” said Bill Griffith, curator of grounds at Rowan Oak and moderator for the discussion. “My wife knew him when he lived in Alabama. We have similar interests, sense of humor and writing.” “When Pendleton Ward and Kent Osborne, the creators of the show, came to Oxford for a visit, I took them to Rowan Oak and Bill turned out to be a huge ‘Adventure Time’ fan,” Pendarvis said. “He wanted to talk about ‘Adventure Time’ as much as he wanted to talk about Faulkner. He knows as much about ‘Adventure Time’ as he does about Faulkner, and that’s saying a lot.”

sion series, he continues to write a column for Oxford American and the Believer. Pendarvis has published two short story collections, “The Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure” and “Your Body Is Changing,” both of which wring through emotions leaving readers both devastated and happy. “Jack is a very talented writer; he has written short stories, novels, and has written songs for various musicians,” said Beth Ann Fennelly, director of the MFA program here at the university. “He is very well read, from Japanese Anime to older classic novels, there’s not a book you can think of that he hasn’t read.” To be a great writer, one must be a great reader. “Jack said he wanted us to read things that he liked, not to test us or add more work to our pile, but so, we could genuinely enjoy the act of reading,” said Lizzie Tran, one of Pendarvis’ former students. “It was really refreshing and I was exposed to books I would have never known to read.” Pendarvis said working with “Adventure Time” has allowed him to bring out his dry sense of humor and his ability to see the absurdity of everyday life in every adventure he chooses to tackle. “I remember trying to draw comic strips as early as the age of four,” Pendarvis said. “I always wanted to make up stories, even before I could write.”

As a backup, the thought of one day getting your chance to play circulates through your head. The same thought has passed by Kincade, as next spring practice will be his time to prove himself as the potential starter for the 2015 season. “I’ll be honest, yes, it is hard. I think about it before I go to sleep every night. Spring ball is coming, and I know it’s coming soon,” Kincade said about not looking ahead to his opportunities in the spring practices coming up. “I have to prepare like the starter regardless. When it does come, I’ll be comfortable and confident, and I won’t worry about messing up the playbook or anything like that.”

a 35-0 lead at hand, Kincade placed a perfect 31-yard touchdown pass to the left corner of the end zone to sophomore Derrick Jones, increasing the lead to 42-0. Kincade helped lead the Rebels on an 8-play, 71-yard drive that lasted just over three minutes. Kincade gave credit to the preparation he gets during practice for his success on Saturday. “I felt real comfortable,” Kincade said. “Coach (Dan) Werner does a great job getting us ready and helping me with confidence. It helped for sure.” Despite the efficient performance from Kincade passing, he feels as if more can be done to showcase his abilities and help his team out. “I have way more to give. I felt like I could’ve done way more,” Kincade said. “I didn’t want to be stopped one time. That was my mindset. Once you come in, I didn’t want to

Kincade finished the game with an efficient 7-8 passing for 70 yards with one touchdown. Kincade also rushed 34 yards on seven carries. Buchanan was also efficient through the air, going 6-7 passing for 28 yards. Kincade showed more promise as he displayed poise and potential as a dual-threat at quarterback. Getting live game reps is rare for Kincade, especially since Wallace is the mainstay for the quarterback position. The live reps Kincade received Saturday were a confidence booster. “It felt great. I’ve been working hard all week trying to prepare for the opportunity,” Kincade said. “You have to do what you got to do. You have to go out there and finish the job for (Wallace). It felt good out there getting live reps.” Kincade made the most of his opportunities. With 8:23 left in the third quarter and

In the Rebels’ 48-0 blowout of Presbyterian Saturday, the offense totaled 640 yards; over 400 of those yards came on the ground. It was safe to say that the way the Rebels bounced back after two consecutive losses is the best aspect of the game. Another important takeaway from the game was the play of both redshirt freshmen backup quarterbacks, DeVante Kincade and Ryan Buchanan. Senior quarterback Bo Wallace will be moving on after this season. The question of who will replace him come the 2015 season will most certainly come down to Kincade and Buchanan. The future looked bright Saturday, as both signal-callers led touchdown scoring drives in the second half.

Dodson hopes Saturday gives him more chances CODY THOMASON

Despite only receiving three carries in the game, sophomore running back Mark Dodson was able to get a new career high in rushing yards against Presbyterian on Saturday, ending the game with 128 yards and two touchdown with an average of 42.7 yards per carry. Despite over five yards a carry in each of his first two seasons at Ole Miss, Dodson is competing for carries in one of the deepest positions on the Ole Miss team. Dodson has 30 carries on the season, behind juniors Jaylen Walton and I’Tavius Mathers, redshirt freshman Jordan Wilkins and senior quarterback Bo Wallace. Walton is the leading rusher, with 77 carries for 434 yards and four touchdowns, while Mathers and Wilkins have 58 carries for 277 yards and 41 carries for 318 yards respectively. Wallace actually has the most carries of anyone on the season, taking 97 attempts for 233 yards and four touchdowns. “I just try to take advantage of every opportunity I get,” Dodson said of his performance. Despite playing a smaller role on the team than usual,
Dodson saw the game against Presbyterian as a way to impress the coaching staff. “I felt like it was a chance for me to prove to the coaches what I have and maybe get a re-evaluation from their eyes,” Dodson said. Co-offensive coordinator Dan Werner liked what he saw from Dodson, especially with his vision and cutting ability. “A couple of his carries, he made a nice cut then set up the run. One looked like it was a huge hole, but one of them, there was a guy in the hole,” Werner said. “He made a nice cut and just sort of messed that guy up and took it to the house.” Head coach Hugh Freeze also praised Dodson, as well as backup running back Jordan Wilkins, saying their performances really made them stand out. “The physical, downhill running that they did was very impressive,” Freeze Mark Dodson runs the ball to score a touchdown in Saturday’s game against Presbyterian. said. “How does that equate against some of the defenses some time.

Rejuvenated Rebels: why Ole Miss still has a chance BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE
bsrippee@go.olemiss.edu
Saturday was another excitement-filled day in the world of college football. Saturday featured several match ups between teams in the mix for the playoffs. After the results, the Rebels are still very much alive in the SEC west and playoff chase. Texas A&M gave Ole Miss a gift and created a form of poetic justice by going on the road and beating third ranked Auburn 41-38. Two unforced fumbles by Auburn in the last six minutes sealed the upset victory for Texas A&M. That last line about two fumbles in the last 6 minutes sounds eerily familiar. Fifth ranked Alabama successfully escaped Death Valley with a 17-10 overtime victory over LSU. Ideally, an LSU win would have been more ideal for the Rebels’ SEC West hopes, but nevertheless, the scenario is clear. Ole Miss, first and foremost, need to win the remainder of their games. Alabama needs to beat Mississippi State. Georgia needs to beat Auburn, and Auburn needs to beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl. If that scenario plays out, the Rebels would find themselves in Atlanta winning the west Cody Prewitt returns a Texas A&M interception for a touchdown during the first half of the game in College Station Oct. 11. with having the head to head tie breaker over Alabama and Auburn last season that was lat- weekend, all the Rebels need is worried about the unlikelihood Mississippi State.

and I am confident the committee will overlook an SEC champion with two losses and look more towards the ridiculously tough road they took to get there. The scenario is set. The Rebel Nation has to be feeling a little bit rejuvenated after last weekend’s results. Most importantly, this team needs to take this bye week to get better and healthier each day and focus on winning two more difficult games. With that being said, this weekend boasts an essential slate of games that could greatly reflect the Rebels’ fate. I encourage fans to tune in and watch these games. It’s sure to be an action packed weekend and an equally exciting finish to the college football season.
