Special Olympics Mississippi will host a Unified Egg Bowl with teams from Ole Miss and Mississippi State today. Participants were invited by coach Hugh Freeze to visit the Ole Miss football team Thursday.

Special Olympics hosts Unified Egg Bowl MARY VIRGINIA PORTERA mvporter@go.olemiss.edu

Although the Egg Bowl seems to divide our state between Ole Miss and Mississippi State students each year, this year, the Special Olympics Mississippi will “unify” the two schools in an effort to put on the Unified Egg Bowl today.

This event will consist of Special Olympics athletes

participating in a flag football game with other college students from Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

Emily Bryant, a junior majoring in special education at Ole Miss, is the student contact at Ole Miss for the event and provided insight into what the Unified Egg Bowl will bring.

“The Unified Egg Bowl is a fundraiser to bring Special Olympics programs to Ole

Miss and Mississippi State,” Bryant said. “These programs will create an awareness and understanding of people who have mental disabilities, as well as unify everyone – with or without mental disabilities.”

Jim Beaugez, director of public relations and communications for Special Olympics Mississippi spoke about why the Unified Egg Bowl originated this year.

“With all the success both Ole Miss and MSU have had in football this year, there is a spotlight on Mississippi, and we can choose how the world sees us,” Beaugez said. “We want to present a state that is unified even on one of its most divided occasions – the Egg Bowl – all in the spirit of supporting Special Olympics athletes and our mission.”

Bryant said support from

the Ole Miss student body and athletics is very strong.

“The men from Kappa Alpha Order are providing traditional players to compete on Wednesday. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to come and support the Ole Miss team,” Bryant said.

Students participate in entrepreneurship competition LOGAN KIRKLAND & MAGGIE MCDANIEL thedmnews@gmail.com

The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship hosted its second pitch competition last night called Landshark Tank. The competition allows students to practice public speaking skills and effectively communicating ideas in a short amount of time.

Richard Gentry, director of the center, said one of the problems they have with people graduating or participating in competitions is people do not feel comfortable presenting in front of a group.

Gentry said a lot of the time

when students have to give presentations, it is in a group setting and are given the opportunity to hide behind another member, or they have a very rehearsed part that is poorly presented.

“Here, we’re going to try and create a little more pressure,” Gentry said. “But also, it’s entirely about their own idea, and it’s entirely them on their own and by themselves.”

The winner of the competition was Stephen Greer, a senior mechanical engineering major. His idea was based on exchanging skills for payment. For example if you could tutor and do physical labor, someone could hire you for

either tutoring or mowing a lawn for money.

Greer said being a part of the competition like this is great because it gathers people who have the same mindsets and who are constantly thinking of new ideas.

“Eventually, we’re going to have 100 ideas, and 100 of them might fail, but then we might have a 101st idea that takes off,” Greer said.

“Winning is great, but seeing the people and being around people who have the business ideas and have the same interests, that’s really what it’s more about for me.”

Transgender Day of Remembrance MORGAN PHILLEY

mlphille@go.olemiss.edu

I don’t have anything snappy to say this week.

I can’t pull out my usual attempts at humor to make what starts out as an angry diatribe in my head become a palatable and light-hearted piece of funny self-deprecation. This is not the week for it.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance is Nov. 20 and was initially founded in 1998 to memorialize the murder of trans woman Rita Hester. Gwendolyn Ann Smith created Transgender Day of Remembrance to bring attention to the hate crimes inflicted on gender nonconforming people, and the day now acts as the peak of Transgender Awareness Week.

Fortunately, thanks to the dedicated work of famous activists like Laverne Cox and Janet Mock, trans people do enjoy much more media visibility than we used to. At least now our stories are not restricted only to tragic tales of death and despair, THE DAILY

MISSISSIPPIAN S. Gale Denley Student Media Center 201 Bishop Hall, P.O. Box 1848 University, MS 38677-1848 Main Number: 662.915.5503 Business Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

like “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Soldier’s Girl.” These films, though, are both based on heart-wrenching true stories that, while not the only things that happen to trans people, are still a very real threat.

These films focus on a white trans man and woman respectively and don’t even begin to hint at the threat to trans people of color, particularly trans women.

That is what I want to draw attention to on this Transgender Awareness Week. We can pat ourselves on the back for watching “Orange is the New Black” and by being accepting of people who have “had the surgery” (just as a side note, don’t ever say that.

Don’t even think it). But until we live in a world where trans people don’t have to fear going into public bathrooms or even just walking down the street, we can’t congratulate ourselves.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, I want us to truly remember some of the 1,378 transgender and gender nonconforming people that Transgender Europe reported murdered between January 2008 and Oc-

tober 2013. I want us to feel the weight of every casual transphobic joke and slur that we’ve said, maliciously or otherwise, and to recognize what kind of society we live in that actively creates an environment that enables the beating and murder of innocent people simply for expressing themselves.

I want us to know their names.

Evon Young. Tiffany Holder. Cecilia Marahouse. Marcio Sergio de Lima. Milan Boudreaux. Kelly Young. Ashley Sinclair. Valarie McKinney. Natalia Sotero. Diamond Williams. Jessy Calderón Espinoza. The list, horrifically, goes on and on and on. These names are only people murdered between November 2012 to November 2013. Eleven names out of the 238 Transgender Europe has documented. These numbers are horrific, and no doubt vastly underreported.

I can’t think of anything funny to say this week. It’s too heartbreaking, and I’m doing my best to remember those who have not been as lucky as I have. The ones who could not make people laugh

about being misgendered in a restaurant. The ones who didn’t worry about being called out in a public bathroom but made it out feeling exhilarated and accomplished.

This day is too important to make light of, and I hope I am not the only one who feels the heavy weight of this somber act of memory. For me, Nov. 20 will always be a day to remember those subjected to violence simply for their existence. I, unlike they, have plenty of other days to laugh.

ry major, has enjoyed being a part of the preparations for the event thus far.

“This is the inaugural Unified Egg Bowl. This event is important to me because it holds a special place in my heart,” Coker said. “My uncle had special needs, and I have a dear friend who has Down syndrome. This has been so rewarding because of the smiles that these guys have in their faces the whole time, and as long as we continue to have fun, we will be the winners of this Egg Bowl as far as I’m concerned, although a victory wouldn’t be too bad either.”

Matthew Oellerich, junior accountancy major and 2015 president for Kappa Alpha, also weighed in on what the Unified Egg Bowl means to the men of Kappa Alpha.

“Many of us have gotten so much enjoyment out of sports our whole life, and we wanted to share that enjoyment with a group of guys who don’t get to participate at the same level and frequency as we do,” Oellerich said. “The Unified Egg Bowl is a great way to give our time and efforts to a special event and a special group of people. It has been a privilege to spend time around this group of young men, and through the time spent with them, we have learned so much and built incredible friendships.”

Furthermore, coach Hugh Freeze and many members of the football team have been involved in supporting the event.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Buchanan and sophomore tight end Evan Ingram went to watch the first practice for the Ole Miss team.

The overall goal of this event is to raise funds to start Special Olympics programs on the Ole Miss and Mississippi State campuses. As an added bonus for the game, whichever school raises the most funds will get a 3-point starting advantage at the beginning of the Unified Egg Bowl game.

Beaugez also added how successful fundraising has been thus far for the event.

“As of right now, the schools are neck and neck with a total of $8,035 raised, and MSU has a slim lead with $4,020,” Beaugez said. “The lead has

gone back and forth, just as you would expect from a shootout between two of the nation’s top teams. This is seed money for the programs, and we didn’t go into the event with huge expectations. The immediate, positive reaction from the schools helped us a lot. From leadership to faculty and students, everyone has been supportive of our efforts.”

Tony Bahou, president and CEO of Special Olympics Mississippi, spoke about the importance of the Unified Egg Bowl for the future goals of Special Olympics Mississippi on college campuses.

“Our goal is to develop future volunteers and leaders for Special Olympics in Mississippi overall,” Bahou said.

Bahou also said that the Special Olympics has implemented special programs with over 50 other sites on college campuses around the country and hopes this strategy will thrive at Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

“We want to foster a growing relationship between college kids and athletes with intellectual disabilities, so that our athletes can feel like part of the community,” Bahou said.

He added that college communities are unique in that athletics are a very large part of the environment, and any way for the Special Olympics athletes to feel like a part of that aspect of the community with efforts like the Unified Egg Bowl will allow them to feel included.

The game will be at 3 p.m. today at the campus Sports Clubs fields at Mississippi State in Starkville. To find more information about the Unified Egg Bowl or to donate to the cause, visit the website at www.specialolympicsms.org/unifiedegg-bowl.

continued from page 1 ond place said, he came up with the idea of a campus valet after brainstorming with a couple of friends who valet and felt it was an interesting business model.

Ault said he wanted to take this idea and bring it to be used at the university and knew parking was a major issue. He said as long as the service is cheaper than a parking ticket, then people will pay.

Ault said he had done this competition before, and it helps build confidence in both drafting the idea and in the presentation.

“I’m honored, and I feel like my idea is validated, and I definitely want to do it again,” Ault said.

Baba Tunde, a senior finance major who won third place, came up with the idea of “Crowd Playlist” while hanging out with friends. This app is where everyone is connected to a device or speaker at a bar or party where they can rate a song playing, and then the songs would later play according to rank.

Tunde did not want to pitch his idea, but then noticed everyone else having the courage to present their own pitches.

“I got encouraged right after I went through it,” Tunde said. “It was not as hard as it looked. It was a learning experience.”

Gentry said this is why the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship created the pitch competition: to create an experience that helps students grow in confidence and strategy.

“The intent for something like this is to make people feel comfortable,” he said. “There’s no magic to it. There’s nothing special about it. It’s just a skill you have to practice.”

Album Review:

One Direction’s ‘Four’ ELLIE BOND

mebond1@go.olemiss.edu

Every generation has one: the floppy haired, bright-eyed, charming boy band that sends teenage girls into hysteria. For the past four years, the ever-so-popular One Direction has been breaking the hearts of teenyboppers worldwide and dominating the music scene. Fresh off a sold-out stadium tour across the nation, One Direction gave fans one more reason to celebrate Monday as they released their highly anticipated fourth album, which is appropriately named “Four.”

This new collaboration from the British boy-band is proof that change is inevitable, even for the beloved quintet. Void of their usual degree of pop and playfulness, “Four” introduces a more mature and grounded side of the boys, taking influences from not only ‘70s funk and melancholic rock but also Americana folk. No longer geared towards prepubescent girls of the “What Makes You Beautiful” era, “Four” places One Direction on the road toward becoming serious contenders in the music world.

But never fear, loyal Directioners.

The boys may have traded in their signature matching outfits and synth-soaked pop ballads for a more individualized and polished folk-rock persona, but this new album demonstrates

they are aiming for a more mature crowd. “Four” exhibits freedom in the creative department, as the artists penned many of

playful guitar licks and an underlying piano refrains, “Steal My Girl” proves to be the perfect teaser for old and new fans alike.

The essential “nah nah nah nah” and Zayn Malik’s high notes seal the deal as the group croons a warning for all men to keep off their women.

Fast forward to the fifth track on “Four.” This tune almost dares listeners not to tap their foot and sing along. The infectious “Girl Almighty” is complete with acoustic guitar hooks and incredible vocals that make one wonder, “Could these really be the same lads that sang ‘One Thing?’”

Heartthrob Harry Styles takes the reins on the ‘80s rock-esque anthem “Stockholm Syndrome,” which outlines the tale of a restrictive relationship.

“I won’t act my age, no, I won’t act my age,” declared the boys on their final track of “Four” titled, fittingly, “Act My Age.” This glorious protest to growing up demonstrates that the darling quintet is still not above making a little trouble, even in their transition to a more mature style. One Direction’s tribute to staying young, wild and free will surely become the mantra of angsty teens behind closed bedroom doors across the world.

For all you One Direction skeptics, let this be the turning point.

the songs themselves on the 16-track album. The hopes, dreams and fears of band members Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson are evident in the lyrics of each new track. The

fluff and frills may be gone, but five fresh-faced rock gods are emerging.

Laff Co. to perform show at Proud Larry’s tonight ZOE MCDONALD

zkmcdona@go.olemiss.edu

Escape from the cold tonight and envelop yourself in a night of fun and laughter at Proud Larry’s, where members of Laff Co. will perform for comedy night.

The performance, dubbed “Laff Co. Cubed” will contain three sketches, three featured stand-up comedians, three improv acts and a “fun little game at the end” according to Laff Co. performer Conner King.

King, who recently became business manager of Laff Co., started performing at open-mic night at The Blind Pig because his friends pushed him to try it.

Open-mic night later moved to Proud Larry’s.

Laff Co. is an Oxford based comedy group directed by Bruce Butler, who will also be featured in the act tonight. The group has been around for about ten years.

Their performances frequent Proud Larry’s and the Oxford Powerhouse, as well as several cities within the state.

Comedy is a growing art within Oxford. Patton Oswalt, a wellknown comedian, will visit The Lyric this February for a performance, and the South Eastern Comedy Arts Festival, which Laff Co. participates in, has been held in Oxford for two years in a row. The potential for comedy to grow as an art is very exciting, King said. Just as music is an integral part of the Oxford community, King added that groups like Laff Co. have the talent and capacity to grow too.

“I think the potential is there, and it’s something that will happen,” King said. “We’re an Oxford-based group, we’re Mississippi and we plan on sticking around here.”

The group of six performers will take the audience through a night of real knee-slappers and

two other performers will display the improv scenes, while others such as King will perform stand-up comedy or sketches.

King said that each member of Laff Co. brings a different set of skills to the table, making for a hilarious collaboration.

Members of the group can be

are able to perform for any type of audience they come across.

“A great ability for this group is their chameleon-like ability to adapt to a particular audience,” King said.

At Proud Larry’s this Wednesday, one can expect humor meant for college-goers and

adults alike.

Get ready for an entertaining and comical night at Proud Larry’s for Laff Co. Cubed this Wednesday, and stay warm with drinks, lively entertainment and lots of laughs.

Laff Co. has a twitter account (@LaffCoComedy) for fans to keep up with their news and upcoming performances. They also have a Vine account, where members promote approaching shows in an amusing variety of ways, all in under six seconds.

Laff Co. Cubed will begin the fun at 9:30 tonight at Proud Larry’s. The show is free.

It was announced Sunday that head coach Will Muschamp will be stepping down at the end of the season. His inability to build an offense is what doomed the Gators, as it has been shown all season.

AUBURN

Three losses in their last five games almost certainly knocks the defending conference champs out of the SEC title and playoff race. Auburn could not get the ball rolling on offense, as Georgia held them to under 300 total yards on offense for the first time this season.

There are still games left to be played for the Tigers, as the Iron Bowl awaits in two weeks.

Has the formula to beat Mississippi State been proven? Stop quarterback Dak Prescott as a runner and force him to beat you with his arm. That’s what Alabama did and the result was three Prescott interceptions. Even with the loss, Mississippi State is very much alive in the playoff race.

In their most impressive win of the season Saturday, Georgia took care of business at home against Auburn and won 34-7. Losing junior running back Todd Gurley for the season with a torn ACL should not haunt the Bulldogs, and freshman Nick Chubb is more than capable of filling his shoes. If Georgia can win out, they’ll be in Atlanta.

Can anyone stop Alabama now?

The Crimson Tide kept on rolling after their early loss to Ole Miss. Beating previously undefeated Mississippi State at home solidifies Nick Saban’s team as the top dog in the conference. All Alabama needs is to win out against Western Carolina and Auburn at home to make it to Atlanta.

Bjork talks Freeze contract extension in press conference DYLAN RUBINO

thedmsports@gmail.com

At the weekly Ole Miss press conference Monday, Athletic Director Ross Bjork talked about a contract extension for head coach Hugh Freeze in the near future.

The Ole Miss football team has vastly exceeded expectations for the 2014 season, the third year of the journey under Freeze. The team currently sits at 8-2 overall and 4-2 in conference play and a chance for a spot in the SEC championship and the first College Football Playoff is still alive.

Many people did not expect Ole Miss to make it this far, especially in the third year of a new regime of coaching. Freeze has transformed Ole Miss with strong recruiting, an up-tempo offense and a stingy, ball-hawking defense that near tops in the country.

According to Bjork, talks have been going on throughout the season and a strong relationship between Bjork and Freeze certainly helps.

“We’ve been proactive throughout the season,” Bjork said. “Coach knows how we feel about him. We love that he loves being here and his family is comfortable. We’ll take the next couple of weeks to iron out the details and by all accounts, we’ll have a new deal in place for him when the season is over.”

Bjork said Freeze’s relation to

the Ole Miss program and the dedication he has put in to make Ole Miss a top-flight program in the country is what sparked the talks of a contract extension.

Bjork also said the transformation Ole Miss athletics has been through since Freeze arrived has been great.

“I think we can be competitive with anybody in the country in terms of what we can offer and the quality of life and in terms of salary,” Bjork said. “I think we can be competitive and I feel good about the resources that we have.”

The recently launched SEC Network will eventually increase the athletics budget for Ole Miss Bjork added. Bjork said that because of the network, the budget will be over 80 million dollars, compared to 76.5 million that athletics has now.

“I think when you’re in that realm, that’s where you feel good about the resources that we can put out there,” Bjork said.

With the increase in budget for the athletic department, Bjork feels Ole Miss can level the playing field with programs such as Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and all of the other high-budget programs in the conference.

Bjork was not sure about the projected salary yet.

“We’re going to dictate how we feel about that coach, we’re going to dictate with our re-

sources and what that sweet spot is,” Bjork said. “I think it can all be determined soon, but near four million a year sounds right.

“When you’re in the SEC, you got to be able to say, ‘We’re committed to playing and competing at the highest level.’

Whatever that number is, is what we’ll be comfortable with.”

Ross Bjork speaks about the Creed at the Ford Center on Sept. 9.
