Law school honors veterans Chair of Community Service for the Law School Student Body (LSSB) Katelyn Harrell discusses the involvement of the law school at the Veterans Home of Oxford to honor and celebrate Veterans Day.

The Christian Science Monitor of Nov. 7 reported that youth voters once again influenced the outcome of the presidential election. Citing data from the National Exit Poll, The Monitor reported that millennials aged 18 to 29 made up 19 percent of the electorate in this election cycle, up one percentage point from 2008, which was already a record-breaking youth vote turnout. President Obama, again, won the support of young voters; The Monitor reports he carried 60 percent of millennial voters compared to the 37 percent who favored Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Analyses conducted by CIRCLE, an independent research organization that tracks youth engagement in politics, indicates that if Gov. Romney had received 50 percent of the youth vote in swing states such as Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Florida, as many as 80 additional electoral votes could have been won. The New York Times election map for this year’s presidential election documents that Lafayette County favored Romney with 56.8 percent of voters in the county casting See ELECTION, PAGE 6

Millennials vote in increasing numbers and reflect on election results.
news brief
In a recent interview with WLOX-TV on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, James Meredith said he was troubled by what happened on the Ole Miss campus last Tuesday after the re-election of Barack Obama. “I’m advising all of the students at Ole Miss, white and black, that the Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars, so you know there is going to be bad talk,” Meredith told WLOX-TV Saturday. “Anybody that lets themselves be sidetracked by foolishness, it’s not only something wrong with what they’re mad about, it’s some-
and
thing wrong with them.” In an interview with the Sun Herald this past week, Gov. Phil Bryant said he first thought of the riots of 1962 when James Meredith enrolled at Ole Miss when he heard of the disturbances on campus. “My second thought was, ‘How dumb can you be?’” he said. “If you are in college, you have to realize the sensitivity of the rest of the nation looking at Ole Miss. For that to happen, it would be worldwide news. It’ll be playing in Paris somewhere.”
The Law School Student Body (LSSB) and the Black Law Student Association will be volunteering at the Mississippi State Veterans Home of Oxford for its annual Veterans Day ceremony today from 9 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Katelyn Harrell, LSSB chair of community service and third-year law student, said the idea for the law students to serve the veterans came from a friend. “One of my friends, Rebecca Wilks, had just said ‘Hey, I’d really like to see us do something with the Veterans,’” she said.
Harrell, whose job is to coordinate community service events for the law school, said anybody in the law school is invited. “We’d love to have anybody,” she said. Harrell said it’s important, not just for the law school, but for everyone to take part. “I think it’s something important for everybody to do,” she said. “I think it’s important that we remember where our freedom comes from and those who came before us.” Harrell also wants to honor her grandfather’s memory. “My grandfather was in the 104th Timberwolves in the inSee VETERANS, PAGE 6

It’s irrelevant and a ridiculous non-issue. You might then ask, “Why does anyone care? Why is anyone debating this issue? Why have 37 states, including Mississippi, either enacted or started to consider legislation to create voter ID laws?” Well, let’s follow it logically through the pipeline. In order for a bill to become a law, some kind of problem must be found. Like I said, it’s not a problem. In fact, News21, an investigative journalism program based out of Arizona State University, did an extensive analysis of 2,068 alleged cases of election fraud. In their analyT H E D A I LY

sis, they found 10 cases of voter impersonation. We have about 146 million registered voters in the United States. If you do a little math, you’ll discover that equals about one case of voter impersonation for every 15 million registered voters. Do you still care about this “issue?” Well, someone does. It takes very little googling to find out who — Republican lawmakers. The question that remains unanswered is why? Why would Republicans want to create a solution for something that isn’t a problem? It’s like they’re throwing a pinch of salt over their shoulder after they spilled the shaker; they’re scared of a superstition. One video that caught a lot of attention and was quite edifying was the House Republican leader of my home state of Pennsylvania, Mike Turzai, who said the voter ID law was “going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsyl-

vania.” Hey! Wait a second...This isn’t about voter fraud at all. This means that the intentions behind voter ID laws aren’t fueled by a superstition or some pure naïve worry for our country’s safety but are instead steeped in manipulative political motivations. Let’s be honest, the only way these laws would have allowed Romney to win would be if they disallowed voters who supported President Obama, AKA Obama’s 47 percent. In swing states these laws could actually affect elections. There are 21 million eligible voters who do not have a government-issued ID. If these kinds of laws continue to be passed, we are going to disenfranchise a sizable portion of the U.S. citizenry, and, by the way, that 21 million is unsurprisingly made up of lowincome minorities. Hmmm...Sounds suspicious-

We need to change our focus from these non-issues and focus on those problems that actually affect us as a people.

Smoking out support for the ban BY EMMA WILLOUGHBY elwillou@go.olemiss.edu
I understand that it’s been a little while since the smoking ban has been in the news, but let us revisit it once more. I find it critical to point out a few more things that have failed to be addressed in this newspaper, and I’m going to start from square one: health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year 443,000 people die prematurely from causes related to smoking or secondhand smoke. More importantly, 8.6 million people live with a serious, debilitating, life-shortening illness caused by smoking: heart disease, lung, throat, laryngeal, or mouth cancer, emphysema, or high blood pressure. Cigarettes themselves aren’t exactly nutritious either. Among hundreds of other chemical additives, main ingredients of cigarettes are carbon monoxide, tar, arsenic, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, acetone, butane, DDT, formaldehyde, and Freon. Carbon monoxide: a poisonous gas. Tar: used to make roads. Arsenic: rat poison. Hydrogen cyanide: used in gas chambers. Formaldehyde: dead body preservative. Well that’s certainly a lot to inhale. Now that I’ve used scare tactics, let’s look at some ethical concerns of smoking. I know most of us students were quite young when it was all going on, but in 1998, 46 states sued the crap out of the four major tobacco companies at the time, known as “Big Tobacco.” And the trials began in Mississippi; that’s a first we should be proud of. In 1994, State Attorney Gen-
eral and Ole Miss alumnus Mike Moore declared war on “Big Tobacco,” seeking reimbursement for tobaccorelated health care costs that were drying up the state’s Medicaid funds and other medical programs that support smokers’ health. The lawsuit originated because Moore and his team found out that the tobacco companies were hiding evidence that proved cigarettes were deadly products. In previous lawsuits, tobacco companies always said smoking-related illness was the fault of the individual — consumers knew that they were doing harm to themselves, so it’s not the company’s problem. But finally we, as citizens, as taxpayers, as contributors, were protected from bad companies who sold us bad products that burden and cripple society. “Big Tobacco” settled for $365.5 billion, agreed to tighter regulation and ended smoking advertisements to the youth (no more Joe Camel). I personally feel that we should take some national pride in our state attorneys protecting the interests of the consumers. These lawsuits illustrate the good power of government — taking an active role in ensuring that the country runs in the best and healthiest state.
So how can we continue to support these companies? Companies that knowingly sell death sentences? If you’re at all anti-corporations, taking up smoking is, honestly, illogical. Let’s not be corporate sellouts here. You’re only funding companies that sell you a psychologically and physiologically addictive product (what a great marketing scheme) that will inevitably kill you. And what’s worse, as you smoke more, these corporations rake in more money. Since smoking rates are declining in the U.S. and other post-industrial nations (New Zealand’s on its way to becoming the first smokefree country), tobacco companies are pouring money into marketing campaigns in developing nations, including those most populated — China, India, Russia and Bangladesh. Do we really want to continue to support an industry that will overwhelm the globe even more with heart disease and cancer? With further illness and death that is the most easily preventable? As Dean Richard Gershon of the Ole Miss Law School mentioned in conversation the other day, it’s inexcusable for individuals on this campus to pass off bad habits as civil liberties. Your actions as a smoker do not af-

fect only you, but also each person you know — the other individuals contributing to your health care premiums, the others who pass by and inhale your secondhand smoke, and the others who depend upon you to be an active citizen. Workers who smoke by and large get sicker because they have weaker immune systems. Sick workers means lost profit and productivity. From the social standpoint, a sicker population is less happy and just less healthy. Less healthy means less socially active, and as a result, our communities are weaker and tied down by corporate schemes. I cannot think of a valid argument to support and allow smoking on this campus. The smoking ban is progressive legislation that this university needs to support. At the same time, it is absolutely essential that we encourage and support cessation programs to help students, faculty and staff to move on from addiction. With more than 826 100 percent smoke-free campuses nationwide, our school is heading in the right direction. This is not an issue of civil liberties; it is an issue of social responsibility. Emma Willoughby is a junior sociology and liberal arts double major from South Haven, Mich.
Dear Editor, Bless the Law School Student Body and Richard Gershon, the Dean of The Law School! Quoting Summer Wigley, from her November 9th article, “The LSSB plans to have surveys and hold more forums to discuss...” the smoking ban and their proposals. A group of staff members that want to return to designated smoking areas has also been attempting to anonymously survey the staff. We began a hand written petition for everyone and have obtained hundreds of smoker and non-smoker, staff, students and faculty signatures, but it’s difficult gathering signatures manually and we’ve found that many staff members are afraid to sign anything that might affect their jobs. For months we have been asking for Staff Council’s help in conducting an on-line, again anonymous, poll, but have been thwarted every step of the way by not being aloud to discuss our proposal at their meetings. “Limited time” is always the reasoning, along with “Administration has already made up their minds.” Wish you good luck, as I hope you wish us!

BY ADAM GANUCHEAU thedmenws@gmail.com
The Ole Miss Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) held their semesterly banned book reading Friday. In the wake of the postelection disturbance Tuesday night, the YAL read “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the porch of Bondurant Hall to promote peace, wisdom and liberty rather than hate, ignorance and incivility. The book was banned in many European countries for its graphic descriptions of World War I. “We just wanted to emphasize how important free speech is on this campus,” said Bryn Mahan, political science senior and president of YAL. “We
chose that book because it portrayed opposition of war. Many students were very receptive to what we were doing.” The peaceful protest was especially important to the YAL because of the post-election disturbance this past week. “I think (the reading) went really well,” said Lindsay Krout, junior public policy leadership and political science double major and secretary of YAL. “After the protests on Tuesday, I think students found it really helpful to see responsible uses of free speech. It helped remind everyone, even (the YAL), that the answer to hate speech is always more uplifting speech.” Ole Miss is one of only a few universities in the nation with the highest ranking in the country for its free speech code.
In September, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) named Ole Miss the third-best university out of seven in the country whose policies nominally protect free speech. The Ole Miss YAL worked closely with FIRE to receive the “green light” rating, which is FIRE’s highest individual ranking for a specific university. According to FIRE, Ole Miss received the high ranking because of changed wording in university codes. “The only thing that was holding us back was the wording in our policy,” Ole Miss Dean of Students Sparky Reardon said to The Dispatch in September. “That is the case with a lot of people, too. It’s just not understanding the words and expressions regarding free speech.”
FIRE’s ratings take into account restrictions on expressive rights, including policies on harassment, tolerance, respect, civility, free speech zones, internet usage policies and advertised commitments to free expression. According to its website, the main purpose of the Ole Miss YAL is “to foster the principles set forth in the United States Constitution among the student body of the University of Mississippi and to organize student activists in preserving those fundamental beliefs.” “Last year, when (Ole Miss) changed its codes, it allowed our students to do so much more to make our campus a better place,” Mahan said. “This event was just another example of the good that can be done at Ole Miss.”
Presented by Ole Miss Online for UM Deans, Department Chairs and Faculty, begins at 10:30 AM, November 15, 2012, in the Union Ballroom and Rooms 404 A&B. The third annual iLearning Conference is designed to provide a venue for UM deans, department chairs, and faculty to investigate online instruction, to engage in discussion with other UM faculty currently teaching online courses, and to visit with technical staff about available technologies related to online teaching. Dr. Trey Martindale will speak during the luncheon* on the topic “Ready or Not, Change is Happening in Higher Education” and share what he sees happening in the present and future worlds of teaching and learning in higher education. Ole Miss Online will also present this year’s Paragon Award for Excellence in Distance Teaching at the luncheon. * Please make reservations at online.olemiss.edu if you plan to eat lunch.

Since 1950, November has had more than 220 tornadoes in the state of Mississippi. The month is second only to April, which has produced 341 tornadoes in Mississippi between 1950 and 2011, according to data published by the National Weather Service sourced from studies conducted by the National Climatic Data Center. Ben Schott, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service for areas including northern Mississippi, said he believes that history indicates Mississippians need to prepare for severe weather. “Weather history and statistics say that we will see severe weather sometime this fall or early winter,” Schott said. “November starts a secondary season of severe weather typically across the South and the Midsouth. “Now is the time to prepare, have a small kit of food, water, money, any medicines you may need just in case power may be out.” Stephen Wilkinson, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Jackson, agreed, observing the problem with severe weather to be an ill-prepared public. “Many of these tornadoes occur at night; in fact a large percentage of them occur at night, and that is the time of day when a population is least prepared,” Wilkinson said. “A tornado could occur and people would not know it will happen until it happens.” Tornado sirens are located throughout The University of Mississippi campus and are regularly tested. Daniel O’Sullivan, senior fellow at the Residential College South and associate professor of French, advised students at the residential college in an email sent earlier this year how to respond to a tornado. “In particular, please know that when a tornado siren sounds, you should seek shelter immediately in the nearest building if you are outside,” O’Sullivan stated. “Go to an interior room and stay away from windows. Bathrooms that are surrounded by pipes and other strong infrastructure are best.” Each residence hall on campus has a severe weather plan that students should make themselves aware of.

Double-Decker Bus: A Legacy in the Making
FILE PHOTO (PHILLIP WALLER) | The Daily Mississippian
lrhoskin@go.olemiss.edu
The double-decker buses have touched many lives since their arrival from London to Oxford in 1994. Former Mayor John Lesley, who purchased the buses, has left behind a legacy for the city of Oxford. For those new to Oxford, the double-decker is the red bi-leveled bus seen chauffeuring tourists and locals. The city owns two that it sponsors and maintains. Morgan Pennington, executive assistant to the mayor, is from Pascagoula but has lived in Oxford since 2004. She has ridden the double-decker twice: once for a football game and once for a wedding. “We sat at the top because that’s the best place to sit be-
cause you get to see everything, and on a nice football game day, it’s really nice to be up there,” Pennington said. “You kind of get to see the city from a different point of view.” Administrative assistant Vicki M. Bishop has spent 23 years working for the city of Oxford. Bishop said she was one of the first people to ride a doubledecker bus apart from Mayor Lesley. “When we got the bus, we set it up to be used for tourism only, for visitors that came into our town, and then we started renting it out to the university because they had the most people coming in for tours,” Bishop said. Engineering freshman Franklin Tatum recalled his first ride, which he experienced at age four.
“I remember when I was little, it was always cool because the double-decker bus was like an idol,” he said. Some say riding on the top level is the best, no matter the age of the rider. “I mean, face it,” Pennington said. “No matter how old you get, when kids are riding at the top for field trips at five and six, you feel just as cool when you’re riding it at 40.” Pennington also said the double decker is a “neat experience,” and it’s hard to find it in other places. “That’s what I love about Oxford,” she said. “They have little things like that that make Oxford really special.” The bus rental is $160 for the first hour and $100 for every subsequent hour, and groups can request a tour guide for an

fantry in World War II and fought at the Battle of the Bulge,” she said. “Although he is no longer here, I feel like I’m honoring his memory by spending time with other servicemen at this ceremony.” Harrell said Veterans Day is important and sometimes gets “overlooked” with everything going on. She added that she hopes this event will also bring awareness to veterans at home. “I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t know it existed until recently,” she said. “Since the value of the service these men and women provided to our country cannot be overstated, we are so fortunate that we will be able to celebrate their sacrifice and honor their service tomorrow.” The Veterans Home of Oxford is located at 120 Veterans Drive on Highway 7.

additional fee. “It’s different, it’s fun and it’s great background for pictures,” Bishop said. “A lot of people rent it out. It may be just an individual that knows enough about the town where they can do their own tours. The Oxford Tourism Council takes any visitors that might want to take the tour.” The double-decker also has a public address system (PA system) and security guard who is placed on the bus at the discretion of the bus coordinator. The double-decker bus can be reserved through the Oxford Tourism Council. Bookings can be made for children’s birthday parties, school groups, church groups, weddings and more. Requests must be made in advance to the Oxford Tourism Council at 662-234-4680.

In Review: Aerosmith releases ‘Music from Another Dimension!’
BY JOSH PRESLEY joshpresley551@gmail.com
The last time rock legends Aerosmith released an album of all-new material, I was in high school and most of my readers were in middle school. I can verify this because I personally know all four of my readers. The band’s last full-length album was 2004’s blues cover album “Honkin’ on Bobo.” I’ve been through two schools, three jobs and zero girlfriends since then. Boston’s bad boys have remained in the public eye, though, and after a series of delays that would make Axl Rose jealous, Aerosmith’s “Music from Another Dimension!” has finally hit shelves. Or playlists. Or wherever the hell you get your music. “Music from Another Dimension!” isn’t the most appropriate title. “Music from Several Dimensions!!” would have been better. This album zigzags frontward and backward across Aerosmith’s musical landscapes from each of its four decades as a band. Literally anything you think of when you think of Aerosmith probably shows up more than once on this record, and that mentality of trying to cram everything in hinders more than it helps sometimes. Now, while some of the songs don’t do it for me as songs, a lot of them do serve
COURTESY COLUMBIA RECORDS
to showcase the band itself. The opening and stupidly titled track “LUV XXX” has drummer Joey Kramer showcasing why he’s one of the best, most underrated drummers in hard rock. I honestly can’t think of a drummer who hits harder
than he does. The first single “Legendary Child” is growing on me with each listen, but it sounds too much like late ‘80s Aerosmith to be relevant today. The album’s most catchy song is the ballad “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You,” featur-
ing Carrie Underwood. This song has drilled its way into my poor brain and refuses to leave, though I certainly don’t like the idea of a pop country singer appearing in an Aerosmith song. “Street Jesus” and stupidly titled “Lover Alot” try to
capture the ‘70s Aerosmith vibe, and I guess they succeed, but these songs are nowhere near memorable. “We All Fall Down” is a downright shameless attempt at another Diane Warrenpenned inspirational hit single. It’s not very good beyond the first listen. “Freedom Fighter” and “Something” feature lead guitarist Joe Perry on lead vocals. He’s never been the strongest vocalist, and he’s sounding more like Keith Richards these days, but “Freedom Fighter” is one of the more fun songs on the album. “Another Last Goodbye” closes things out with an absolutely gorgeous vocal from Tyler and recalls the days from the ‘70s when each Aerosmith album would close with a pretty little piano-based ballad, and it’s by far my favorite song on the album. So, in the end, “Music from Another Dimension!” has its moments, but I’m not sure if it’s entirely necessary. It has grown on me with each listen, but I’m not sure it’s one we’ll still be playing in a year. There are some fun songs, to be sure, but Aerosmith doesn’t really try to move forward with this record, it just sort of shuffles sideways. Moving forward is how older acts such as Springsteen, U2 and, to an extent, Bon Jovi remain relevant after so many years, and why other bands like KISS, Def Leppard and even The Rolling Stones are relegated to being nostalgia acts.

Senior Katie Breathitt has been chosen to participate in the upcoming NCAA Cross Country Championships as at at-large qualifier, following a strong performance at the South Regional on Friday. Breathitt has had one of the best seasons in school history. The Lexington, Ky., native will become the first woman in Ole Miss cross country history to ever advance to the NCAA Championships. “I am very fortunate and excited for this opportunity to represent my team and Ole Miss,” Breathitt said. “We are disappointed that we don’t get to go to the NCAA Championships as a team, but I’m extremely proud of how hard everyone has worked this year and how far we have come.” Breathitt placed sixth overall at the regional in Tallahassee, Fla., running the 6K course with a personal-best time of 20:18.6.

FRIDAY: TENNESSEE 3, OLE MISS 0 In dominating fashion, the Tennessee Lady Vols defeated the Ole Miss Lady Rebels in straight sets (25-15, 25-18, 2519) Friday. “I thought we got outplayed by an obviously good Tennessee team,” head coach Joe Getzin said. “I just don’t think we did a good job responding to their level of play.” For the Lady Vols (18-6, 11-4 Southeastern Conference), junior outside hitter Kelsey Robinson led in kills with 12, and sophomore setter Mary Pollmiller recorded 35 assists. Three Tennessee players eclipsed double figures in digs, led by junior defensive specialist Ellen Mullins with 15, followed by Robinson with 11 and Pollmiller with 10. “They’re a big physical team,” Getzin said. “They touch a lot of balls, they dig a lot of balls, and I think our hitters just got frustrated with

that.” The Lady Vols trailed Ole Miss (10-14, 4-11 SEC) only once in the first set, 6-5, before dominating the rest of the set to win 25-15. When the Lady Rebels had the lead, Tennessee used a 6-0 run to retake and extend the lead. Ole Miss was not able to string together a run more than two points in the set. In almost an exact replica of the first set, the Lady Vols fought off an early Ole Miss lead to win the set 25-18. Down 7-6, Tennessee grabbed control of the set with 11 of the next 13 points. Ole Miss stayed in the third set early on, but Tennessee proved to be too much for the Lady Rebels. The set was tied 9-9 when the Lady Vols used an 8-0 run to extend the lead to 17-9. Ole Miss cut the lead to four at 18-14, but Tennessee scored the next six points to put it away 25-19. Freshman middle blocker Nakeyta Clair led Ole Miss with eight kills and junior outside hitter Kara Morgan was second on the team with seven. Senior setter Amanda Philpot recorded 26 assists and sophomore defensive specialist Rachael McLamore and senior libero Ashley Veach each had eight digs to lead the team. “Obviously it’s frustrating to everyone involved,” Getzin
said. “You’re in working hard just like everyone else and the results aren’t there. I think there’s some frustration, but that’s what the coaching staff has got to do: keep them going forward.” SUNDAY: FLORIDA 3, OLE MISS 0 The struggles continued for the Ole Miss Lady Rebels on Sunday, dropping another straight-set loss, this time to the Southeastern Conferenceleading Florida Gators (25-22, 25-22, 25-17). “I’m proud of the way the kids competed today,” Getzin said. “Something we’ve been talking about is competing, and I thought they did that well.” Redshirt freshman middle blocker Ty Laporte led the Lady Rebels (10-15, 4-12 SEC) with 10 kills and Morgan added seven of her own. Philpot was first on the team with 26 assists and 11 digs. Florida (21-4, 15-1 SEC) won what turned out to be an exciting set, 25-22, over the Lady Rebels. The Gators tried to pull away multiple times throughout the set, but Ole Miss continued to hang around. The Lady Rebels owned a 22-20 lead late, but Florida scored the final five points to take the set. Ole Miss battled back from

The Lady Rebels scored nine of 12 points during their run, but Florida matched it, finishing off the set scoring five of the final seven points. “I think we just didn’t make a couple plays we needed to make down the stretch,” Getzin said about the close finishes in the first two sets. “To get to that point we had to fight and claw. Little bit of a letdown, and it’s just finishing it out.” Florida owned the middle and the end of the third set to claim the match with a 25-17 set win. Tied 10-10, the Gators scored nine of the 12 points to stretch the lead to 19-13, then finished off the Lady Rebels scoring the final five of six points. “If we can build on what we accomplished today, kind of move forward with that, I think good things will happen,” Getzin said.

REBELS,
continued from page 12
The loss was the second down-to-the-wire loss of the year for Ole Miss (5-5, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) after falling to Texas A&M 30-27 earlier this season. “It hurts bad,” sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace said. “We’ve got to take over games when we are up as much as we were. Offensively, we’ve got to keep scoring points and not allow them to get back in it.” Just four minutes into the game, Wallace found sophomore wide receiver Vince Sanders from nine yards out to put the Rebels up 7-0. The touchdown was Sanders’ second on the season, and he finished the night with five catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. Vanderbilt would answer late in the first quarter with a field goal, but it was slim pickings for the Commodores (6-4, 4-3 SEC) in the first half. Ole Miss senior kicker Bryson Rose had himself a solid second quarter connecting on field goals from 22, 28 and 41 yards out, respectively, which pushed the Rebel lead to 16-3 with two minutes to play in the first half. However, settling for field goals provided for several missed opportunities for the Rebels to take control of the game. “The bottom line is they scored touchdowns, and we scored field goals,” Freeze said. “They are a good football team. They didn’t quit; they didn’t panic. Give them credit. But we have got to score touchdowns when we get in the red zone,

Junior guard Diara Moore
Kenyotta Jenkins notched a double-double, chipping in 13 points and 10 rebounds. While junior point guard Valencia McFarland, an All-SEC second team selection, managed only four points and five assists, she was a key part of the victory. “Valencia’s role is not to score points,” Frank said. “It’s not to get a certain number of rebounds, a certain number and we just didn’t.” Ole Miss took a 10-point lead into halftime and would drive 56 yards in nine plays that was capped off by a 1-yard touchdown run from Wallace to increase the lead to 23-6 to start the second half, and everything seemed to be going the Rebels’ way. However, it was only a matter of time until Vanderbilt struck back. On the next drive for the Commodores, senior quarterback Jordan Rodgers connected with junior wide receiver Jordan Matthews from 52 yards out, making the score 2313. The Commodores cut the deficit to three with a 2-yard touchdown run by junior running back Wesley Tate that ended an 11-play, 51-yard drive. Missed opportunities once again plagued Ole Miss as Rose couldn’t connect on a 52-yard field goal, and the Rebels had to settle for a 27-yard field goal after yet another drive stalled in the red zone that gave them a 26-20 lead with just over two minutes left to play. It was up to the Ole Miss defense. A stop would mean a bowl game for the first time since 2009 for the Rebels. Rodgers and the Commodores took over at their 21-yard

of assists. Valencia’s job is to guarantee us wins this year. She’s got to be able to do a little bit of everything.” While the game was highscoring for both teams, it was a game that was not won in transition, but won on effort points. The Rebels outscored the Lions 50-44 in the paint. They outscored the Lions 27-14 off of turnovers. They also outscored the Lions 22-16 on second-chance points. These narrow margins proved to be the difference in the Lady Rebels’ win Friday night. “I thought tonight we did a good job in some areas and some lacking in other areas,” Frank said. Up next for the Lady Rebels will be the Lady Demons of Northwestern State. The game will tip off at 11 a.m. Friday in the Tad Smith Coliseum.

line. Vanderbilt had 4th-and-2 at its own 46, and Rodgers converted with a 3-yard run, breaking a tackle in the backfield that would have more than likely sealed the win for Ole Miss. Moments later, Vanderbilt sunk the hopes of Ole Miss when Rodgers found sophomore wide receiver Chris Boyd for a 26-yard touchdown on a busted coverage by junior cornerback Charles Sawyer, and the Commodores pulled ahead 27-26 with 52 seconds to play. Wallace and the Rebels had one last chance to rally and win the game that they had once led by 17. “I was telling them the whole time when we went up 26 to 20 stay in this game,” Wallace said. “We know we are going to have to score a field goal and win this game. It’s where you want to be, 50 seconds, two timeouts. It’s exactly where you want to be as a quarterback, and we just didn’t get it done.” The Rebels started the drive with a 17-yard pass from Wallace to senior wide receiver JaMes Logan to move the ball to midfield. However, that was all Ole Miss would muster, gaining just three more yards as they handed the ball back over to Vanderbilt. On the day, Wallace finished
31-of-49 for 403 yards, the most yards he has thrown for all year, and a touchdown through the air as well as one on the ground. “When you throw for 400 yards and don’t turn the ball over, you usually win,” offensive coordinator Dan Werner said. “That’s sort of depressing, but it was a depressing game.” Perhaps the most alarming stat of the night, though, was in the rushing department. The Rebels managed only 55 yards on 40 carries Saturday night, making it the third straight game in which the run offense has been held under 100 yards. Junior running back Jeff Scott totaled just 47 yards
Marshall Henderson 22 points 5-for-11 on three-pointers 5-for-6 on free throws
Stat of the game 93 points on 39.7% FG for Ole Miss
Quote of the game “I’m 100 percent comfortable. I love being here at Ole Miss. It’s a great support system here in the community of Oxford. It’s great to know that nationwide, anyone who has anything to do with Ole Miss has my back.” – Marshall Henderson on 24 carries. Now, the Rebels are faced with the task of defeating either LSU or Mississippi State to become bowl eligible. The road is tough, but Werner in confident the team will bounce back. “They will,” Werner said. “It all filters down from the head coach, and Coach Freeze is as good as I’ve ever been around when it comes to dealing with things like this and he’ll get these guys bouncing back and we will as a staff. We’ll come back ready to play next week.” For continuing coverage of Ole Miss football, follow @thedm_ sports and @SigNewton_2 on Twitter.

Just before their season opener Friday, Ole Miss announced they self-imposed a one-year postseason ban on the women’s basketball program, but the Lady Rebels (1-0) put that behind them on their way to a 95-85 win over Southeastern Louisiana. Junior guard Diara Moore, a junior college transfer, led the charge for the Rebels in her debut. She scored 25 points and added seven rebounds in 32 minutes of play. “I thought she really turned a corner about two weeks ago, and I think she’s capable of putting up big numbers all season long,” head coach Brett Frank said. Moore was not the only player that impressed in the season opener against the Lions (0-1). Junior forward

Sophomore forward Aaron Jones left the game after getting elbowed in the head, but Kennedy said that was just a precaution. Sophomore forward Demarco Cox remains out with an ankle injury, and junior forward Jason Carter sat out due to a “violation of team rules.” Walk-on redshirt sophomore Will Norman scored his first career points with an andone layup in the final minute, although he missed the free throw. The Rebels will be back in action Tuesday when they take on Coastal Carolina at 7 p.m. from the Tad Smith Coliseum.

Ole Miss was handed their second heartbreaking defeat of the year, falling 27-26 to Vanderbilt in the last minute of the game to remain one win away from clinching bowl eligibility. The Rebels have two more opportunities to pick up the pivotal sixth win, as they travel to LSU Saturday and end the regular season at home against Mississippi State. BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu
The situation Saturday night was all too familiar for Ole Miss. Having the lead with just over two minutes left in the game, a defensive stop would have propelled the Rebels to six wins and bowl eligibility.
Instead, they were handed another heartbreak, this time by the Vanderbilt Commodores, who became bowl eligible with the win. “Obviously, we’re very disappointed and hurting in that locker room right now,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “Those seniors, especial-
The Ole Miss men’s basketball team got the season started the right way with a 93-57 win over Mississippi Valley State Friday night at the Tad Smith Coliseum. Junior guard Marshall Henderson led the Rebels with 22 points, going 5-for-11 from 3-point range, including three made three-pointers in 1:22 of game time. “That’s why we brought him here,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “We were deficient in shooting last year. We needed to remedy that, and obviously, he is a good remedy. When we needed to make a little spurt and needed to get some separation, I thought he was very effective.” Ten other Rebels (1-0) played double-digit minutes against the Delta Devils because of a large lead, which gave Kennedy an opportunity to see what he has in some of his new guys. Freshman point guard Derrick Millinghaus played 22 minutes, five more than starting point guard Jarvis Summers.
Summers picked up two early fouls, allowing Millinghaus to step in. Millinghaus had six points on 1-for-9 shooting, and 4-for-8 from the free throw line. Freshman guard Martavious Newby had an impressive performance, scoring 11 points and adding eight rebounds and two assists. The Rebels did not have a very efficient game, as they shot under 40 percent from the floor, and just 22 percent from beyond the three-point line. “When you can score 93 points and shoot under 40 percent from the floor, it shows you are active,” Kennedy said. “We took 78 shots; we were very active.” Ole Miss out-rebounded Mississippi Valley State (0-1) 54 to 43. The Delta Devils shot just 32 percent from the field. Ole Miss had eight blocked shots, led by the all-time leading shot blocker in Ole Miss history, senior forward Reginald Buckner, who had three.
