Movie review: ‘Big Hero 6’

A note from Lydia Jones to the university The many expressions of concern and encouragement have been very meaningful for Chancellor Dan Jones, who is undergoing treatment for lymphoma at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The following note from his wife, Lydia Jones, says those thoughts and prayers are making a real difference:

Big Event raises student awareness with One Big Week ALLISON SLUSHER

The Big Event looks to promote their annual day of service through One Big Week. Members of Big Event committees will be at the Union Plaza from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday this week.

This is the second year the Big Event has held One Big Week. Big Event co-director Caroline Loveless said last year’s co-directors developed the idea after thinking of ways to register more volunteers.

“One Big Week was initially a way to increase participation for the Big Event,” she said. “As last year’s directors Madison Coburn and Kristin Volker began to brainstorm ideas, they thought it would be unique and special for us to remind students how they can become involved in community

service.”

Co-Director of Outreach for the Big Event Austin Dean said there will be laptops set up throughout the week to allow students to register for the service day. Dean said that while they will be promoting registration, there is also another goal for the week. Each day of One Big Week, the Big Event will promote various service organizations in the Ole Miss, Oxford and Lafayette communities.

“We’ll have laptops available so that students can register right then and there,” Dean said. “However, it really is so much more than that. One Big Week is from November 17th through the 20th, and each day, we are spotlighting a different service group that is either on campus or in the Oxford-Lafayette community.”

William Kneip, co-director for finance and fundraising, said the

On pinkwashing and homonationalism COLUMN

As acceptance of the LGBT community has advanced in society, we’ve witnessed a sort of bizarre turn of events.

Instead of queer-friendly being used as a pejorative, it is now being used within certain progressive circles as a kind of multi-purpose advertising label: “Now 20 percent more queer-friendly!”

Indeed, this label can even be applied to institutions and policies that otherwise society would see as inherently unjust. Politicians, CEOs and even military leaders are now using their support of LGBT rights as a way to desensitize people to their other negative actions and as a cudgel with which to bludgeon their political opponents.

They are like wolves with flashy new wool makeovers from their friendly gay beauticians down the street.

Israel and America are two powerful purveyors of this phenomenon. Both countries have incorporated queer-friendliness into their political agendas (for the most part) and now, use this progressive stance as a means of “pinkwashing” (a term that originated within breast cancer activists for companies using anti-breast cancer branding as PR while harming society in other ways).

Israel has, of course, come under fire internationally for its discrimination against Arab Palestinians within its borders, as well as its colonialist expansion into the West Bank and violent shelling of the Gaza Strip. Despite this, the country sells itself as a Mecca for the LGBT community.

As of 2010, the Israeli government has spent more than $90 million on its “Brand Israel” campaign, marketing the country as an attractive tourist destination, specifically for the gay community. Tel Aviv has come to be known for its gay clubs and nightlife, and this image has been advertised to the world as the face of Israel.

More attractive than having dead Palestinian children as the face of Israel, no?

The inherently cynical and exclusive nature of this advertising campaign is evident in the fact that the many queer Palestinian people being shelled in the Gaza Strip and whose homes are being taken away in the West Bank would hardly be able to have fun in Tel Aviv’s gay clubs.

As in the film “The Invisible Men,” the Israeli state often uses this gay-friendliness to malign Palestine, depicting

queer people around the world, those who choose to serve in the military privilege their American identity and perpetuate the imperialism the American military fosters.

LGBT support has also been used as leverage for international relations. Hillary Clinton, among others, has held America up as a shining light of progressive guidance in the face of the Middle East and Africa, whom she characterizes as “backwards” due to certain oppressive religious practices.

queer Palestinians as suffering and needing to be rescued from repressive Islam by the state of Israel. Queer Palestinian groups such as al-Qaws, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid and Palestinian Queers for BDS are actively trying to fight this effort, exposing the inherent cynicism of Israel using queer people as scapegoats to justify their oppression of Palestinians.

The American government, as well as many American corporations, is an offender here as well.

Since the demise of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, the American military has been recruiting using their gay-friendliness as a means of attracting more of America’s youth to serve.

Does it really count as progress that I, too, can now participate in the violent subjugation of the third world?Instead of privileging their queer identity and standing in solidarity with

While it is true that many Middle Eastern and African countries are institutionally anti-gay, this Islamophobic stance simultaneously ignores the faults of America (which is certainly not the most progressive country in the world on LGBT issues) and imposes a homogenous Western understanding of queer identity onto the rest of the world. It also ignores the role American fundamentalists have played in the advent of African anti-gay laws and the role American foreign policy played in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, which is largely anti-queer.

Instead of imperialistically imposing Western standards on the rest of the world, queer people deserve the right to define their own identity in terms of their own culture.

The Western narrative of “gay rights” does not apply to all societies and all contexts. Scholars have termed this American use of LGBT

issues to push the neoliberal party line in the international field and inaccurately portray America and the West as superior living spaces for queer people as “homonationalism.”

American corporations use “homonationalism” domestically to promote their products and profits.

At the Pride Festival in my hometown of Saint Louis, one of the biggest sponsors was Monsanto, one of the most notorious corporate pushers of injustice around, and very few people I talked to seemed to have a problem with this.

Google, through its Legalize Love campaign, has entered into the realm of promoting LGBT rights internationally, again neglecting the cultural differences in the international queer community.

The problem here is that corporations are not non-profits.

Anything they are doing has a profit-motivated end, including promoting LGBT equality.

So, given that, I reject the use of my identity by corporations to perpetuate the inequality-inducing conditions of capitalism. Homonationalism in action is seen in the celebration of LGBT “visibility” within the realms of corporate and military America, as the recent celebration of Tim Cook’s coming out has shown.

Just as I will not be clamoring for queer representation among serial killers and human traffickers, I refuse to celebrate the proliferation of queer CEOs and the ability of people like me to serve in the military.

To the corporations and oppressive governments of the world, take this as a message: don’t use my identity to gloss over your perpetration of oppression. There can be no liberation unless there is liberation for all, so if your liberation involves perpetuating capitalism, sexism, racism or imperialism, then it must be bullshit.

BIG EVENT

members of the Big Event executive board and committees wanted to host organizations that are well known and introduce students to lesser known organizations.

“We wanted to include organizations that are both known and unknown to the student body and organizations that we can also have the opportunity as students to say thank you to,” he said.

Loveless said she thought hosting these different organizations would be a free, helpful way to advertise organizations that do not receive much funding.

“As we have experienced with Big Event, on-campus community service organizations do not receive much funding from the university,” she said. “Therefore, it is hard to buy promotional items and advertisements. We felt like partnering with on-campus service groups would be a cost-free way to advertise their organizations. Also, many students are not fully aware of the goals and hopes for these individual organizations, so we feel like partnering with them can only increase the amount of students we can reach.”

This year, One Big Week will partner with Adopt-a-Basket, Lovepacks, Leapfrog and RebelTHON. Dean said students can get involved in One Big Week by participating in a letter drive.

“That’s a way that students can send a letter to someone they may know just asking for whatever donation they can make to ensure that Big Event can reach out and help as many people as we possibly can,” Dean said.

Kelly Savage, one of the directors of public relations and marketing, said students will also have other opportunities to get involved in One Big Week.

“We’re looking for students to get involved on social media and mostly by signing up to participate for the Big Event in the spring and encouraging their peers to do the same,” Savage said.

The Big Event will be held Saturday, March 28. Those interested in volunteering can learn more about the Big Event by following @olemissbigevent on Twitter and Instagram and UM Big Event on Facebook. People can also visit olemissbigevent.com for more information.

The volume of airplane activity at the University-Oxford Airport is impacted during home football weekends in Oxford, according to the manager of the facility at 1 Airport Road.

In comparison to a non-football weekend, which usually brings in about ten to 15 planes, the University-Oxford Airport sees an approximate 70 percent increase in planes during home football weekends, most notably during Southeastern Conference games.

“Depending on the size of jets that come in, we can have anywhere from 35 to 50 planes parked on the ramp,” said Mac McManus, manager of the University-Oxford Airport.

Planes typically fly in for the weekend on Thursdays and fill up the parking ramp by Friday afternoon.

In an effort to create more space for planes to park, McManus said he would like to add another ramp on the east end of the taxiway where there is currently space available.

“We do have plans, if we can get the funding from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), to have another ramp built,” he said.

All projects that are applied for every year from the University-Oxford Airport rely upon Federal Aviation Administration funding.

“We do not have a very big ramp,” McManus said. “It looks like we do, but it fills up very quick.”

For the recent home football game against the University of Tennessee, the University-Oxford Airport had reached its full capacity for jets and had to notify pilots who were flying into Oxford that they were only allowed to drop off passengers and had to park at a nearby airport.

“Once we fill up, we have to post what they call a NOTAM,” McManus said. “When the pilot is filling out their flight plan, they’ll receive a notice that says ‘UOX ramp’s full, drop and go only.’”

Although the University-Ox-

ford Airport consists of 262 acres, space is limited with only one runway and one ramp for jets as well as grass parking for single and twin engine planes, weather permitting.

In turn, parking is based on a first come, first served basis. The University-Oxford Airport has special event fees for gameday weekend parking that is a set price depending on the size of the aircraft for any amount of days the aircraft is parked, which is typically Friday to Sunday.

Single engine pistons are $35, twin engine pistons are $50, helicopters are $50, turbo prop aircrafts are $120, jet aircrafts are $180, Gulfstream IV and V are $450 and Global Express jets are also $450.

During a gameday weekend, the airport will house anything from single and double engine pistons to a variety of jets including Beechcraft King Airs, Gulfstreams, Hawkers and Learjets.

Due to the size of the jets, McManus and his staff must park the aircraft in a specific pattern to ensure safety in order for them to fit the ramp.

“We do two rows on our ramp,” he said. “We park half with the airplane nose pointed south, and the other half with the airplane nose pointed north.”

Southern Airways Express, which is a commuter airline out of Memphis, has had to adapt to the appeal for those wanting to travel to Oxford as well.

Currently on a standard weekend, Southern Airways Express has two flights from Atlanta and Destin, Florida that fly into Oxford on Friday and leave on Sunday. With the increasing need during football season, Southern Airways Express has had to add an additional flight.

“We now have an extra flight that leaves from Destin on Saturday and arrives in Oxford two hours before the game starts,” said Keith Sisson, chief operating officer of Southern Airways Express.

Once the game is concluded, the flight then leaves Oxford once all passengers are able

to make their way back to the airport and ready to board, no matter the time of day or night.

With a high demand for travel and lodging, Sisson said flying out the same day provides convenience, so that passengers do not have to go through the trouble of booking at hotel for the night.

With many other parties flying in and out simultaneously, McManus prides his staff on the work they do, making sure each plane is taken care of at all times.

During football games, the University-Oxford Airport staff works around the clock.

McManus said fuel orders must be submitted by halftime and that thousands of gallons are used during Southeastern Conference games compared to a non-gameday weekend.

Line Technician James Campbell has worked at the University-Oxford Airport for ten years and said he has never run into any major issues besides a few close calls when

parking planes.

“We have not had any accidents on the ramp since I have been here,” he said.

Safety and being cautious is key because colliding the wings or even just a little knick could cost a lot of money, Campbell said.

With another ramp, McManus said extra space would provide not only more room for parking but also help prevent potential accidents from happening.

He is hoping that next year, the Federal Aviation Administration will accept the parking ramp project and provide funding for the dirt work, so the ramp can be completed in 2016.

lifestyles Movie review: ‘Big Hero 6’

his relationships with Tadashi and Aunt Cass – who are both absent from the comics – were the best moves that Disney could have made when crafting the story.

Besides insanely high IQs, Hiro and his quirky group of friends feel very real, with each reaching a surprisingly high level of characterization given the fast pace of the film.

In the characters, there is someone here for everyone: Hiro is the intelligent and misunderstood misfit who has experienced incredible loss; Honey Lemon is the always-sunny, willowy, quirky, chemistry-obsessed hipster; Wasabi is orderly and grounded; Fred is the Type B, comic-loving hippie who also happens to be filthy rich; and GoGo is the gum-smacking, resident bad girl decked out in leather and attitude.

Yes, it’s stereotypical, but it’s also incredibly entertaining – it’s the “Breakfast Club” but with superheroes.

However, the real star of the

From Walt Disney Animation Studios – the same geniuses behind “Wreck-It Ralph” and last year’s “Frozen” – comes “Big Hero 6,” a film that extends Disney’s animated brand into uncharted territory in a brilliant way.

Based on a popular Marvel comic series, “Big Hero 6” signals Disney’s first foray into an animated portrayal of characters from the Marvel Universe. Of course, Disney handles the source material adeptly, molding the story and characters into something that appeals beyond the realm of comic junkies.

Set in San Fransokyo – a hybrid of Tokyo and San Francisco that is really a character in itself (the Golden Gate Bridge is merged with Japanese pagodas, cats adorn the façades of buildings at every corner, and signs are written in both Japanese and English) – the story is told from the perspective of 13-year-old boy genius Hiro Hamada (voiced by the up-and-coming Ryan Potter). Much to the chagrin of his older brother Tadashi (voiced by Daniel Henney) and Aunt Cass (voiced by Maya Rudolph), Hiro uses his intelligence to win cash in illegal robot fights at the beginning of the film’s events.

Eventually, Tadashi convinces Hiro to enter a competition to win a place at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology – the school where Tadashi works on a healthcare assistant robot named Baymax (Scott Adsit) – where Hiro could use his talents for something more meaningful than illegal activities.

While working on his in-

film is Baymax.

Described as looking like a “giant marshmallow,” Baymax’s naiveté, genuine desire to help Hiro and robotic speech combine to create some of the best and most memorable laughs in the film.

The sole weakness of the film comes from the soundtrack. It’s a little boring and includes an atrocious theme song called “Immortals” by Fall Out Boy that accompanies a cheesy montage of the team coming together officially (can we please stop with montages, Hollywood?

K, thanks).

On the whole, “Big Hero 6” is big, heroic and feeds the imagination like you’re 6 years old again.

Become one with your inner hero and go see “Big Hero 6.”

Also, stick around after the credits for a cameo from Stan Lee and a clue as to the direction that the sequel will be headed.

vention involving microbots, Hiro becomes acquainted with the school’s director Professor Callaghan (James Cromwell), and Tadashi’s classmates and best friends Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred and GoGo Tomago – voiced

by Génesis Rodríguez, Damon Wayans, Jr., T.J. Miller and Jamie Chung, respectively.

On the night of the competition, a plot twist occurs that even I didn’t see coming. In the aftermath of said event, Hiro uncovers a nefarious scheme involving his microbots and a kabuki-masked villain, so he enlists the aid of Baymax, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred and GoGo to investigate the identity and motivations behind this enigmatic antagonist. This unlikely

team of misfits band together with the help of Hiro’s inventing prowess to become the crime-fighting force known as Big Hero 6.

While it is an origin story at heart, “Big Hero 6” achieves this without making it overtly obvious that this is the main point of the film. (Yes, this will definitely become an animated franchise, so don’t be surprised when “Big Hero 6: 2” comes out in a few years.)

By letting the plot unfold from Hiro’s perspective, “Big Hero 6” boils the film down from the massive scope of a comic book movie into a relatable, kid-friendly comingof-age story, rife with themes of family, friendship, loss, and bravery. Making Hiro the star of the film and including 36121

After a win on the road at Mississippi State and a loss on the road at Texas A&M, the Ole Miss volleyball team was ready to return home to Gillom. Coming into the match with a 6-6 record in Southeastern Conference play, the Rebels (20-7) knew a win against the Kentucky Wildcats (11-2) would be vital.

The Rebels started the match off strong, gaining a quick lead against the Wildcats. After a timeout called by head coach Steven McRoberts, the break seemed to have lit a fire under Kentucky; however, the Wildcats came back to close the gap to 19-17.

The Rebels did not lose momentum and increased their lead to 24-20. With a kill from sophomore Melanie Crow, the Rebels took set one 25-20.

The Rebels did not start off set two as strong, trailing the Wildcats 16-14 midway through the set. Using momentum to their advantage, the Wildcats increased their lead to 21-16 and forced a Rebel timeout.

Kentucky would take set two 25-18.

After the break, the Wildcats’ momentum seemed to get the best of the Rebels, and Kentucky would take set three 2515.

The Rebels seemed to have regrouped in set four, taking a Ole Miss’ Melanie Crow (20) spikes the ball during a game against Kentucky.

sports continued from page 8 out rebounded 54-50 and gave up 19 points on the offensive end, which seemed to have counted the most.

“Rebounding continues to be a huge nemesis for us. Rebounding was our undoing if you can just secure the defensive glass,” Kennedy said. “We haven’t been able to do that for two years.”

It was a poor display of shooting for the Rebels. The Rebels finished at 30 percent from the field and 20 percent from three on 6-for-30 shooting. The Rebels will need to improve on shooting efficiency if they want to win games in the future.

“We good some clean looks, but we were never able to get in a rhythm,” Kennedy said, “Then (senior guard) Jarvis (Summers) fouls out after 23 minutes. It puts you in a position where other guys have to make some plays.”

It never happened. Everyone was out of sorts, even Summers, a popular pick for player of the year in the conference. Summers shot 3-for-13 and from the floor and 1-of-9 from deep. He ended up fouling out right before regulation ended.

The one bright spot for the Rebels was junior guard Martavious Newby. Newby finished with an efficient 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting, 2-of-2 from three point land and 4-of-4 from the free throw line. He also had seven rebounds.

“He was our MVP tonight because of his toughness. He made shots for us, but his toughness is what got us back in the game,” Kennedy said. “I hope that can become more contagious and spread throughout our team.

That’s something we’re lacking in a lot of areas.”

Opening up the season with a loss at home is not how the Rebels imagined their 2014-2015 season to start off. While many will question the Rebels after a devastating loss this early in the season, they’ll have to regroup quick with a road game Monday.

“We have to go and try to get to 1-1 Monday night on the road,” Kennedy said. “It’s another test in an away environment, which is something this team has never experience. We’ll see how they respond.”

Ole Miss will look to regroup on the next Monday night against the Troy Trojans at 7 p.m before the Rebels come back home that Thursday night against Southern.

Still in the running: what you missed over the Rebels’ bye week DYLAN RUBINO

thedmsports@gmail.com

The Rebels climbed two spots to No. 8 in both the AP and Coaches Poll without even playing a game over the weekend.

With the No. 8 ranking, the Rebels are the highest ranked two-loss team in the country.

There were many games in the Southeastern Conference and throughout the rest of college football that had an impact on the College Football Playoff race.

However, the big news of the weekend came yesterday when Florida announced that head coach Will Muschamp will be relieved of his duties at the end of the season. Muschamp will be coaching the final two games of the season for Florida, however.

In his tenure at Florida, Muschamp went 27-20 overall in four seasons in Gainesville, with a 17-15 record in SEC play.

After the final two games, many schools should be calling Muschamp with offers to be a defensive coordinator.

The big game of the weekend happened in Tuscaloosa, however, where No. 5 ranked Alabama hosted undefeated and No. 1 ranked Mississippi State in a showdown with major implications in the SEC and the College Football Playoff race.

The Crimson Tide held a 19-3 lead at halftime, but the lead started to slip away in the second half, where Mississippi State cut the Alabama lead to 19-13 to start the fourth quarter. Alabama would answer back with a six minute touchdown drive to increase the lead. The Bulldogs would add a late touchdown, but Alabama held off the Bulldogs

to win at home 25-20.

The loss may knock Mississippi State out of the top four in the Playoff rankings, and Alabama is almost certain to move into the top four.

The other big game in the SEC happened in Athens, where No. 15 ranked Georgia hosted No. 9 ranked Auburn in a matchup with implications for both teams.

The game wasn’t even a competition. Georgia ran close to 300 yards, led by the return of junior running back Todd Gurley. Gurley returned from suspension and ran for 138 yards on 29 carries and one touchdown but suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the fourth quarter and is out for the season. The Bulldogs defeated Auburn 34-7, which most likely ends Auburn’s chances in the SEC and the Playoff.

Arkansas also picked up their first SEC win since October of 2012 and the first of Bret Bielema’s coaching career at Arkansas with a win over No. 17 LSU. The Razorback defense played their most complete game of the season, holding LSU’s offense to only 123 total yards in way to a 17-0 victory at home.

The shocking upset in the SEC, though, came in College Station, where 24th ranked

Texas A&M lost to Missouri at home 34-27. Missouri scored 28 points in the third quarter and were led by junior running back Russell Hansbrough, who ran for 199 yards and two touchdowns.

The biggest performance of the weekend came from Wisconsin’s junior running back Melvin Gordon. The Heisman candidate boosted his resume in a big way, setting the FBS record for rushing yards in a game with 408 yards on 25 carries in way to a 59-24 victory over No. 16 Nebraska.

No. 3 Florida State survived another scare on its schedule, this time on the road at hated rival Miami. The defending national champions trailed 23-10 at halftime but scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to stay undefeated 30-26.

Some top 25 teams to lose included Arizona State, Notre Dame, Clemson, Duke and Minnesota.

The results over the weekend help the Rebels’ chances in the Southeastern Conference and the Playoff race.

The Rebels need to win out at Arkansas and home against Mississippi State and need Auburn to defeat Alabama in the Iron Bowl to advance to the SEC Championship game.

Rebels lose opener to Charleston Southern in overtime JIMMY ANDERSON

jbander2@go.olemiss.edu

A put-back dunk with one tenth of a second left in overtime doomed the Rebels to a final score of 66-65 in overtime on Friday, leaving Ole Miss fans stunned as they dropped the home opener to Charleston Southern.

Up by one with 42 seconds left, Ole Miss forced an offensive foul that got the ball back only to turn the ball over with eight seconds left. Charleston Southern got the ball, and senior guard Saah Nimley drove to the basket but missed on his layup only to be cleaned up by junior forward Cedrick Bowen.

The Rebels under Andy Kennedy are typically very good, winning every season opener since he has been here. Tonight was a different story for Ole Miss, as this was their first season opening loss since 2003 when Arkansas State beat the Rebels 74-69.

“I’ve been doing this for ten years. I’ve never had one like this,” Kennedy said. “You’ve got to do your best to learn from it. It’s easier said than done. They were stunned in there. We’ve got to go and try and get to 1-1 on the road Monday night.”

Down at halftime by a score of 29-17, the Rebels played sloppily.

They turned the ball over 11 times
