Inspirational Veterans Day ceremony at Paris-Yates chapel
QUENTIN WINSTINE | The Daily Mississippian
Major Rhea Tannehill speaks to veterans, ROTC students and members of the Oxford Community at the Paris-Yates Chapel on campus during the Veterans Day Ceremony Thursday afternoon.
BY WARREN BISHOP editor@thedmonline.com
Veterans Day is a day to remember that everything we hold
dear in the United States, we owe to the service of others. The University of Mississippi took a moment to honor these men and women who sacrificed
for us with its annual Veterans Day ceremony in the Paris-Yates Chapel. The event consisted of the University Men’s Glee choir and a guest speaker, Rhea Tan-
nehill Jr. “Each year at this time, the university pauses to remember those men and women in our local community who have served our country during times of foreign conflict,” Sparky Reardon, dean of students, said. “Our program is an expression of our combined gratitude and sincerest thanks both to them and their families, who have had to endure so much hardship in order to protect and defend the freedoms we as citizens of the United States enjoy.” Tannehill, who is an awarded veteran and an Oxford-based lawyer, graduated from the University of Mississippi. He was elected president of the Associated Student Body, and he was also inducted into the student Hall of Fame. “I was extremely humbled, in fact intimidated, at the prospect of giving this speech on Veterans Day,” Tannehill said. “Why? Well if you think about it, everything that we have is the result of something veterans have done for us.” Tannehill emphasized that he does not consider himself a veteran when compared to veterans who fought in the big ones, including WWII, Korea, Somalia and Vietnam. Tannehill said he hoped his speech showed how much he appreciates the world he lives in, a world that was partially created by
the veterans we honor every November. “I wake up every morning, I work out, I drive in my car, I go to my own office. I’m self employed, so I have the opportunity to make as much money as I want just as long as I pay my taxes, which is okay as long I get public services,” Tannehill said. “My wife is able to take our kids to a fine public school and get a free education. We’re able to worship how we see fit. We are able to worship without interference. So all of this is a result of what others have done for us.” Assistant Dean of Students for Judicial Affairs Scott Wallace also attended. “It’s all about sacrifice,” he said. Wallace said he wants the university to continue to honor veterans. “Veterans Day is to honor our veterans with the most respect possible,” chemical engineering freshman Rick Meredith said. Meredith said Tannehill was “inspirational.” Although this event was a day before actual Veterans Day, it was still a highly-inspirational event that touched the people attending with a sentiment that can be understood by all Americans. “This is a day that we should be grateful for our veterans,” Tannehill said.
From New York to Oxford: a fashion designer’s road to success BY KELSEY DOCKERY kqdockery@gmail.com
Growing up, Ashley Moss never dreamed that one day she would be working alongside some of America’s greatest fashion designers. After graduating from Santa Clara University with an English degree, it was Moss’ mother who convinced her to pursue a career in a field Moss had always loved: fashion design. “It wasn’t on the radar when I was in college that I was going to do design, but it was always something I loved to do,” Moss said. “I always messed around (with clothes) on my own, but it was Mom that gave me that first push.” Moss was hired by the music department at the University of Mississippi to design the costumes for the spring opera, but her career in fashion didn’t start there. Since she was 22 years old, Moss has jumped from one company to another with three things in mind: challenging herself, learning as much as possible
and, most importantly, having fun. After graduating from Santa Clara University, Moss went back to school at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, where she received a degree in fashion design. From there her career took off. She landed a job with Jessica McClintock, prom dress extraordinaire, in San Francisco. “I was 22, and it was great; it was the perfect job to learn,” Moss said. Her main job was in product development. The designers would hand her a sketch, and it was her job to find the right fabric, get it approved, make sure the colors were right and find out the costs. “It was a very small company, and Jessica McClintock, being a former school teacher, set up her design room very much like a school room,” Moss said. “She was like the head of the class, and all her design assistants were at desks. It was very interesting.” Moss worked for McClintock for two years before realizing
prom dresses were not her forte. “It was enough to make me realize that (fashion design) was something I wanted to pursue,” she said. “It just made me want more of the whole picture, and I wasn’t really into the whole prom dress thing.” At 24, Moss packed two suitcases and left for New York City after her mother again convinced her that she had to go and have that experience. “I went and I stayed at this boarding house and I rented a room,” Moss said. “Two weeks later I told myself ‘I can’t do this anymore, what am I doing?’ I went back California and when I landed I said, ‘No, I have to go back!’ So the next day, I got on a plane and went back, and I stayed for 13 years.” Six weeks later, Moss was offered a job designing menswear with Ralph Lauren, a complete change from her work with McClintock. “I didn’t know anything (about menswear), but I hadn’t formed my own perspective as a designer yet, so I went in there like a blank canvas,” Moss said. “Slowly I be-

gan to interject my ideas and my opinions about fabric and fit, but really I was there to learn, so it was really easy to switch because I didn’t have any expectations.” Moss said one of the most important things Moss learned at Ralph Lauren was how to work with a team. “It’s not all about you,” she said. “It’s about problem solving. At the end of the day, you have to remember it’s just clothes. It’s really not that important, so let’s not totally freak out. There was always someone freaking out.” After two years at Ralph Lauren, Moss decided it was time to
start her own collection under her name. “I was tired of the corporate world,” Moss said. “It was crazy corporate there, and it was in the early ‘90s when people were making a lot of money and not doing a lot of work for the money. It was just too much. I wanted to take it down a notch and be more grass-roots about the whole thing. I was ready to learn more, and I was ready to do women’s.” It was a harsh but wonderful reality for Moss. She was eating See FASHION, PAGE 5

Law students forced to skip class, park illegally due to shared parking lot BY EMILY STEDMAN stedmanemily@gmail.com
Gossip and hot topics always swirl around the law school at the start of the semester. Few of those things fervently discussed last through the first month of school, but this year, one thing has continued to be on the tongues and lips of the majority: parking. Our new facility cost $50 million and rumor has it the donors envisioned a parking spot for every student. But did they imagine having to share those parking spots with thousands of other commuter students? Or with Fraternity
Row? At first, the faculty went about things socratically. Dean Gershon, Matthew Hall, associate dean of academic affairs, and Macey Edmondson, acting dean of student affairs, wrote a letter to the chancellor requesting that the law lot be specifically designated for law-commuter-parking only (and are continuing to push for more parking today). I mean, we have our own parking decals, why not put them to use? Oh, that’s right, parking ran out of law decals so there are some law students out there with traditional commuter tags.
To make things even sillier, parking suggested it would take too long to figure out which students didn’t have law decals and count out new ones. Motion for a group of law students to get a student list and count them out ourselves. Next up, Julie Goss, vice president of the law school student body, organized a student petition to, you guessed it, have the law lot designated for law-commuter-parking only. Although two-thirds of the student body signed it, the petition was pushed aside by parking officials. Things seemed to calm down as students began to

figure out their schedules and learn when to arrive in order to nab a spot. But then four cars with boots on their tires sat in the lot for a whole month taking up spots that students who actually put their cars to good use couldn’t park in. One 3L female called the dean’s office and demanded that these cars be moved. She even offered to pay for the towing herself. And then rush happened. Now that the fraternities are a pledge-class larger, the number of available parking spots for law students has decreased even more drastically. Some students have taken matters
into their own hands, asking the fraternity men to give up their spots. One alleged conversation went like this: Law student: “I need that spot to get to class on time.” Undergraduate student: “Sorry, I have to grab lunch at the house.” This prompted some students to consider visiting the chapter houses or pranking those trucks with the orange decals. Law students have now begun trolling the law lot, waiting in their cars at the end of the rows, practically stalking See LAW, PAGE 3

each other to ensure a spot. Some even ignore all etiquette and cut their peers off in order to grab a spot before the rest, even before those who have been waiting (albeit not so patiently). Most recently, an anonymous law student created a Twitter account, @UMLawParking, to somewhat seriously and somewhat satirically deal with the situation. First tweet: “Yes. We pay twice your tuition, yet we can’t park to attend LAW SCHOOL. That’s what justice is all about. #MadAsHell” The Twitter account literally took off overnight. Students began to submit their own tweets and twit-pics to let out parking frustrations. Frankly, the parking situation is just ridiculous. Very rarely am I surprised at the way bureaucracy keeps things from happening. Here, the motive seems to be clear: money. Exactly 33,656 citations were given during a span of five months in 2010. Parking Services made $800,000 in citations during the 2010 Fall semester alone (and another $900,000 from decals). It’s no wonder they’re unwilling to budge. The craziness is quite lucrative. The faculty lot sits half-empty on a daily basis and the university makes $15 a car on game days to keep me and my peers from studying and/or using the building. Something needs to be done, and it needs to be done sooner rather than later because waiting for the Tad Pad to be bulldozed and replaced with a parking garage (isn’t that a great idea?) won’t help out current students dealing with this issue every single day.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor: The first third of Trenton Winford’s column, “College isn’t for everyone,” is hogwash. I stopped reading after this draconian quip: “Similarly, a high school senior can want to be a college student more than anything, but that doesn’t mean it is what he or she should be.” I’m all for options in life, but don’t you dare tell any person or group of persons what they should or shouldn’t be. Young people out there, if you “want to be a college stu-
dent more than anything,” go to college. If you want to be a mechanic more than anything, be a mechanic. If you want to be a golfer more than anything, then golf darn it. Don’t let anyone squash your dreams or tell you that you aren’t cut out for something you want to do. Let your heart make those decisions.

Top Ramen and struggling to pay her rent, but she said what she learned from the experience made the sacrifice worth it. “I learned the whole process of design to shipping to processing, working with sales reps, that sort of thing,” she said. “I had to go to the factory, make my own hang tags, pack my own boxes to mail to various stores. It was just me.” Moss described her namesake collection as classics with a twist and very feminine. “What I took from Ralph was the importance of quality fabrics,” she said. “I made that my focus more than anything. Quality fit and fabrics but easy styles to wear.” After a few years, Moss decided she wanted to start making a stable salary again. She got a job with Calvin Klein at the height of denim’s popularity. Her focus was product development for women’s denim. “I learned all about wash, denim construction, denim mills,” Moss said. “Flat denim wasn’t cool anymore. You had to have the latest wash and hand scratched whiskers. We literally took sand paper and sanded down the denim.” Moss also traveled a lot when working with Calvin Klein because everything was made internationally. “I had an experience where I came from a week of travel in Hong Kong and two days later they said, ‘You need to go back,’” Moss said. “That was when I started thinking this job isn’t for me. I was exhausted.” Moss was also taking night classes working toward a degree in psychology because she wanted to help others. “In my field, it’s very superficial; it just wasn’t enough for me,” she said. “I’ve always found it difficult to manage the two sides of myself. I’ve always loved design and the creative aspects, but I am also socially aware, and a lot of times it’s hard to marry
those two.” Her next job was with Marithe Francois Girbaud, a very unique, architectural French clothing company. “Each piece is like a piece of art, construction wise,” Moss said. “I believed in that product. I just wanted to wear everything, which made working there very fun.” Next she went to work as the design director at Echo Red, another company with a completely different design aesthetic. “It is very street, hip and totally not who I am,” Moss said. “But the most important lesson of a designer is you just become what the product is.” Moss burned out after 13 years, exhausted by her fastpaced New York life. She and her husband, Jos Milton, moved to Napa Valley for a fresh start. She opened a small boutique called Tuck that had a very specific article of clothing “I wanted a very specific niche because it’s really hard to do retail,” Moss said. “You really have to know your market and be very pointed in your direction, so I decided to do all tops.”
When the recession hit, Moss and Milton moved to Austin, Texas, before making their latest move to Oxford when Milton was offered a job with the Ole Miss music department as an associate music professor. “Jos got this job opportunity, and I’d had my career,” Moss said. “It was really time for him to experience all the joys, so here we are.” Associate music professor Julie Aubrey hired Moss to design the costumes for the spring opera. “I normally rent costumes, but when that happens you are stuck to a time period or look that the costume company has so you don’t have a lot of flexibility,” Aubrey said. “With a costume designer, and the expertise of
| T H E D A I LY M I S S I S S I P P I A N | PA G E 5
Ashley, I’ll have the chance to do something really unique.” Moss’ husband, who has worked in the music industry for years, agreed. “I think bringing Ashley into the opera fold is a great idea,” Milton said. “She has an amazing eye for style, a keen sense of chic that will definitely bring a visual refinement to the production.” Moss has never done costume design for an opera, but she is excited about taking a historical piece and turning it into something more modern. “The way I look at it is like a collection,” she said. “You have to merchandise it for a given customer, and in this case, the customer is very different.”
Moss said the customer is the audience, so she has to think about the sets, who the characters are and which ones with be interacting with each other. “How much of it will be my sketching and how much of it is going to be going to a thrift store and pulling and re-fashioning a piece, I’m not sure yet,” Moss said. While Oxford is completely different from any other place Moss has lived, she said she is excited about the opportunities she has and being able to have a job that relates to her husband. “I can work remotely so easily now with the Internet and video conferencing and email,” Moss said. “I don’t need to be anywhere, I can be here.”

“Veterans Day is a remembrance of all of those who have gone before. I’ve been in the army 23 years. I’ve served two tours in Afghanistan and five in Iraq, including the first Gulf War, and yet everything I’ve done pales in comparison to what those that came before me did. Whether they go back to the Revolutionary War, those were veterans as well. The things that they’ve done over the course of time has built and created what we have today. And it’s a remembrance of the people who have defended those rights, and that’s why we do everything we can to remember them. If we forget them, we forget what makes us the country we are.”
Lauren Lyles, Junior Pharmacy Major “I just remember by the humble service they have given to our country and all the memories that they put their life on the line for us. This is a day that we really keep sacred and think about giving back to them and showing that we are appreciative of everything they have done for us.”
Kevian Hynes, Senior, ROTC MS 4 “I feel Veterans Day is important because veterans have done a lot in serving our country, So I feel it’s important to have a day to remember the sacrifices our soldiers have made for the country.”
Donald Kesher, Senior, ROCT MS 4 “It’s a great day. I feel like every day should be Veterans Day, every day you should thank a veteran whenever you see them. I always thank Vietnam veterans, they don’t get the respect they deserve; it wasn’t a popular war. Our generation now is getting it right more, with regards to paying respects to our soldiers. They’re national heroes. I come from an Army family, so it really means a lot. My grandfather was a Vietnam veteran, so I always especially thank them because they didn’t get treated well when they got back. It’s a great day to pay respects to them, just take a moment out of your day to thank a veteran whenever you see them. Do it every time you see one.”

Square Pizza gets new art
PHOTO COURTESY BRANDON LOCKHART
Peyton Rish, a biology freshman, stands with Square Pizza owner, Tate Moore, in front of his art in the Square Pizza window. Rish won a competition in his Art 101 class that awards him the honor of having his art in the store’s window.
BY MARY KELLEY ZELESKEY marykelleyzeleskey@gmail.com
Square Pizza’s window art has transformed to a scene from “Talledega Nights,” insisting their pizza is the best there is. Peyton Rish was selected from his Art 101 class to have his work painted in the window. For the past two years, a student has been selected to paint the window art. Robert Malone, associate art professor, said he wanted his students to have the chance to do something outside the classroom. This year, the winner of the contest was Rish, a biology freshman from Tupelo. “I was shocked when he told me I won,” he said. “I figured it was too edgy to win, but I was pleased that he liked it.” He said he has been drawing since the second grade and took his first art class during his sophomore year of high school. Square Pizza owner Tate Moore, who is also the lead singer of local band Kudzu Kings, said he decided this past year to start holding the contest to slowly start getting more window art in his restaurant. Moore also served as the judge for the contest. “His subject matter was a little controversial, but I liked it,” Moore said. “For the kids walking by, I think they will like it too.” Rish’s piece of art is based off of a scene from the movie “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky
Bobby.” “Honestly, I really like the movie, and I thought it would be really funny,” Rish said. Last year, the contest winner’s painting included a picture of Colonel Reb and the Black Bear. While Rish was painting his window art, the rest of the students in the Art 101 design class had some of their work on display in an art show, which took place
in the law offices above Square Pizza. Rish’s drawing and sketch took about two hours to do, and the actual painting on the window took him less than a day, beginning it Thursday morning and completed it that afternoon. “As for art in the future, I have no major plans for it,” Rish said. “Maybe I will even sell a couple of pieces this year, hopefully.”

Holloway clear for
‘liftoff’
ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian
By David Henson dahenson@olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss men’s basketball team got a huge pickup this past spring when head coach Andy Kennedy received word that Irmo, S.C., native Murphy Hollo-
way was interested in returning to Oxford to finish his last two years of eligibility. Kennedy, who prides himself on not being surprised, said the news of Holloway was something to be excited about. “I was surprised when Holloway left last spring,” Kennedy
said. “We hated to lose a player of his caliber last year but were supportive because he based it on the right decisions of taking care of some personal responsibilities. “When I got the call from South Carolina coach Darrin Horn, I was equally as surprised. I then
talked to Murphy about his desire to come back; his motives are pure and intentions are pure. South Carolina blessed the move, and we welcome him back with open arms.” Holloway returns to Oxford after sitting out this past season
at South Carolina due to transfer rules. Holloway walked on, redshirted and did not lose a year of eligibility. He returns to Oxford where he was the Rebels’ leading rebounder in 2009 and 2010. His See HOLLOWAY, PAGE 10
He’s got next: Summers looks to lead from point guard position
ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian
By David Henson dahenson@olemiss.edu
It is not often you see a true freshman starting at point guard in college basketball. That, however, is exactly what will likely take place tonight when the Ole Miss basketball team takes the court against
Louisiana Monroe. If not tonight, you can expect Jarvis Summers to break into the starting lineup soon thereafter. Summers, a 6’4” guard from Jackson, has drawn praise from teammates and coaches since he arrived on campus over the summer. That hard work will likely
earn the Provine High School product a start early in his Ole Miss career. As a freshman in the SEC, Summers said he does not feel pressure going into tonight’s game. “I don’t feel any pressure,” he said. “This is what I do, playing the game I love.”
Summers said he is not surprised at how easy the transition to college basketball has been. “I knew coming in the opportunity I could have,” he said. “Coach Kennedy always told me just work hard and don’t take any days off and everything will take its place.” Kennedy has been pleased in
what he has seen from Summers since he stepped on campus. “He is a kid that approaches things on a day-to-day basis and handles his business in the right way,” Kennedy said. “Typically with freshmen, you have to worry See SUMMERS, PAGE 10

Nelson ready to take charge in his sophomore season By David Henson dahenson@olemiss.edu
ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian
For the first time in four years, the Ole Miss men’s basketball team goes into a season with a more experienced frontcourt than backcourt. Gone from last year’s team are guards Chris Warren, Zach Graham and Trevor Gaskins. Sophomore guard Dundrecous Nelson looks to use the experience he learned from the leadership those players left to help ease the loss of those players. “Chris used his speed a lot,” Nelson said. “He was so hard to guard, so I am just going to try and use the speed I have. Also I just picked up on the little things he did like working hard every day and just listening to what coach has to say.” The 5-foot-11 sophomore from Jackson started the last seven games last season, which included a 30-point explosion at Auburn. CBS Sports’ Jeff Goodman pegged Nelson as one of his 25 breakout players for the 2011-12 season. To breakout this season, Nelson
needs to be a more consistent player. “The playing time I got last year helped me learn what to expect,” he said. “I just want to transfer everything I learned from playing last season and carry it over to this season. Going into this season, I am just trying to tighten up my ball handling and being the aggressor on defense.
“
There are not many 20-point-a-game players in this league anymore. Maybe you will get a 20-point guy here or there. Dundrecous has the potential to be one of those guys because of his explosive abilities to score.
”
Andy Kennedy Head Coach
“Last year, I was just somewhat out there going off talent, but this year I just want to improve as a whole and be
a leader and lead the team to the tournament.” Head coach Andy Kennedy is excited about the potential Nelson has shown in his short time with the program. “He is a guy that if he can get into great physical shape he will be a great physical scorer,” Kennedy said. “There are not many 20-point-a-game players in this league anymore. Maybe you will get a 20-point guy here or there. Dundrecous has the potential to be one of those guys because of his explosive abilities to score.“ This year’s team features six freshman, five of which are guards. Nelson said he uses his experience as a freshman guard in 2010-11 to help prepare this year’s group of freshmen for what they can expect to see. “I am just telling them to be ready,” he said. “These first few games won’t be cupcakes, but once you get into the SEC play and go to the Virgin Islands against these awesome top teams, even though you’re a freshman you can’t play like one.”
Henry has one goal: The NCAA Tournament By David Henson dahenson@olemiss.edu
Entering his senior season, Terrance Henry has one goal: reach the NCAA Tournament. It would be the program’s first since the 2001-02 season under then-head coach Rod Barnes. “This is my last go around and we haven’t made the tournament in a while, so that’s the teams main goal on paper right now,” Henry said. “That’s in everyone’s head – make the tournament and do some things.” The 6-foot-9 forward from Monroe, La., will face his hometown team, Louisiana-Monroe, Friday night to open his senior season, and Henry said he is ready to go. “We, as a team, are very excited, especially me, with this being my last go around,” he said. “We have been working hard since the summer, and we are just really excited to get going.” Along with eight newcomers on the roster, not including the return of Murphy Holloway, the Rebels also added two new assistant coaches, as well as promoting Bill Armstrong to a new position on the staff. Henry said he doesn’t feel like the new additions will change the chemistry among the returning players. He went on to say he has been impressed with what the new coaches have brought to the team.

freshman and lacking experience some of the upperclassmen have, he is still trying his best to become a leader while also learning what is expected of him. “It is kind of both ways because I am still learning more and more every day, but as time goes by, I am going to start learning to take more control of the team,” Summers said. Chris Warren was the Rebels’ point guard for the past four
seasons before graduating in the spring. Summers said his style of play differs from that of Warren, who is now playing professionally in Australia. “I’m more like a pass-first (guard). I get my teammates involved,” Summers said. “Chris was more of a scorer. At first I always look to my teammates, see who all is open. I just know my personnel. But if it’s open, I’ll take it.”

The Daily Mississippian sports editor Austin Miller caught up with ESPN’s Joe Lunardi to discuss the Rebels’ NCAA Tournament chances.
By David Henson dahenson@olemiss.edu
THINGS TO WATCH FOR Dundrecous Nelson: Life after Chris Warren started well this past Thursday with Dundrecous Nelson filling the role Warren left. The Rebels are going to need Nelson to continue the play he showed during the exhibition game, especially with a freshman-laden backcourt with the exception of junior Nick Williams. Freshmen: The Rebels added 8 newcomers to the program plus the return of Murphy Holloway. Several of the freshmen are likely to see early playing time. Some of the players likely to be called on early in the season include Jarvis Summers, Maurice Aniefiok and Aaron Jones. Return of Murphy Holloway: The Rebels got a huge pickup with the return of Murphy Holloway to the program. Holloway brings a threat of a double-double every game. Friday will be Holloways first regular season basketball game since the NIT Semifinal game against Dayton March 30, 2010. The Rebels hope to get the same Holloway as his first two seasons in Oxford.

Bracketology: Ole Miss edition
UM men’s hoops opens with ULM The Ole Miss men’s basketball team tips off its season tonight, hosting Louisiana-Monroe at 6:30 p.m. at the Tad Smith Coliseum. The Rebels were successful in their exhibition game this past Thursday, with a runaway victory against North Alabama 91-62. While the Rebels have been watching film on Louisiana-Monroe, head coach Andy Kennedy, who enters his sixth season as coach, admitted the first game of the year is always hard to prepare for. “This is going to be the first game for both of us, so you are kind of blind going into it. We will have to make some adjustments as the game goes,” Kennedy said earlier this week. “Personnel-wise they are like most at that level. They will be able to spread you and play, and there will be many times they will have four guys on the floor that can shoot the three. One of the things that we may have as it relates to size will be challenged on the perimeter, and we will have to make that adjustment.” The Warhawks finished the 2010-11 season 7-24 and were picked to finish sixth in the West Division of the Sun Belt Conference. Louisiana-Monroe will be led by guard Fred Brown, who began his career at Kansas State before transferring to Louisiana-Monroe. Kennedy mentioned Brown as a playmaker whose 6-foot-9 frame could pose some matchup challenges for the Rebels.

Senior forward Terrance Henry pass the ball to sophomore center Demarco Cox.
HENRY,
continued from page 9
“I don’t think it does anything for chemistry,” he said. “It just comes from players. Coach Sergio (Rouco) comes from Florida (International), and he’s a big energy guy and keeps you into it. Coach (Al) Pinkins knows what he’s doing with the big guys and is very hands-on, showing them what to do.” Henry said there wasn’t anything in particular he worked on during the summer to prepare for his last season at Ole Miss, but
instead he worked on becoming more consistent. In the 2010-11 season, he was third on the team in scoring (9.7 ppg) and second on the team in rebounding (6.0). With the graduation of the Rebels’ two leading scorers, Chris Warren and Zach Graham, Henry knows his role will expand this season. “I worked out hard in the weight room this summer trying to get a little stronger and gain some weight. As far as my game I didn’t work on anything in particular just trying to become more consistent ‘cause it is more of a focus thing with me.”
AUSTIN MILLER: What are your overall thoughts on the UM men’s basketball team this season? JOE LUNARDI: At the risk of being the most unpopular person in Oxford, I am not overly optimistic. Ultimately, Ole Miss was a losing team (7-9) in a horrible SEC West and has lost its best player in Chris Warren. While there may be a little “addition by subtraction” in being more team-oriented, the gap between the Rebels and the NCAA tournament was far greater than their 20 overall wins would suggest. AM: How many wins does UM need to reach the NCAA Tournament? JL: The non-conference schedule remains pretty dreadful, with only banged up Miami (Fla.) and possible Paradise Jam opponent Marquette figuring to be NCAA teams. So that means the Rebels will need at least double-digit wins in the conference, which hasn’t happened in a decade. There are
scalps to be had in the new single division alignment, but it would be out of character for Ole Miss to suddenly begin winning those “up” games in the league. AM: Why do you think it’s been a decade since UM reached the tournament? JL: The main reason is fundamental. Most years Ole Miss doesn’t win enough games, or at least enough of the right games. The secondary reason is more complicated. The Rebels play a non-conference schedule, understandably, that is more suited to the NIT. The problem is that far too often they get what they wish for. AM: Do you think UM reaches the NCAA Tournament? JL: To be a “surprise” team in 2012, the young Ole Miss guards are going to have to be at least league-average. That’s the only way for the Rebels to crack the top half of the SEC and be a realistic NCAA aspirant.

Lady rebels begin 2011-12 basketball season Senior weekend for volleyball BY JAKE THOMPSON jcthomps@olemiss.edu
The 2011-12 basketball season tips off today for the Ole Miss women’s team as they host North Florida. The team returns four starters from last season, but is also going to have a very young look to it. The team has a lot of younger players, 10 underclassmen to five upperclassmen. “You just got to find a way to help them mesh and grow and get a little bit better each day,” head coach Renee Ladner said. “We’ll be imperfect, but that is why you play a non-conference schedule.” Among those returning is sophomore point guard Valencia McFarland, who was a member of the USA Basketball team during the Pan-American games last month. McFarland was second on the team in scoring (averaging 13.3 ppg) in her freshman season.
Other key returnees include senior forward Nikki Bird, senior guard LaTosha Laws and junior forward Courtney Marbara. Over the summer, the Lady Rebels traveled north of the border to Vancouver, Canada, for a seven-day, four-game trip and finished with a 3-1 record. The team also held two scrimmages during preseason workouts, and Ladner said he is ready to see how the team responds to competitive play. “Our players think they are ready,” she said. “We’ve had an opportunity to lace up our tennis shoes twice in two closed scrimmages, but they are still a closed scrimmage. When you kick it off and it’s the real thing, the adrenaline flows and you are excited about the game.” The Lady Rebels fell short of last season’s goals with an overall record of 10-19 and a 3-13 mark in SEC play. Ladner said she is cautiously optimistic about the

youth of the team. “I think they are young, talented and athletic, and I’m excited about the season, but also am not really sure what young players are going to do from day-to-day or how consistent they will be,” Ladner said. “When you are a senior, you have some understanding and there is a flow to the game, with young players, they are all trying to get it figured out and at times we’ve had three or four freshmen on the floor. We are going to have growing pains, I just hope we are patient.” The team will face 13 opponents that advanced to postseason play last season, including five NCAA Tournament teams. Tip-off for today’s season opener against North Florida is set for 11 a.m. at the Tad-Smith Coliseum.

In addition to football’s homecoming game and season openers for men’s and women’s hoops, this is also senior weekend for the Ole Miss volleyball team. The Rebels (9-15, 5-11 SEC) take on two ranked Southeastern Conference opponents, No. 15 Tennessee (22-3, 14-1 SEC) and No. 18 Kentucky (22-4, 13-2 SEC). The Rebels will honor their two senior players, Morgan Springer and Regina Thomas. Both of these seniors have had fantastic careers in the red and blue. Thomas became the first All-American in school history last season, and Springer is the all-time digs leader for the Rebels with 1,566 for her career.
The Rebels enter this weekend’s matches having won four of their past five matches and look to avenge earlier losses to both teams. In their first meeting this season, the Rebels fell in a tight five-set match at Tennessee and also dropped a rough four-set match at Kentucky. Things are looking up for the Rebels, who are currently in fourth place in the Western division. After starting conference play with a 1-10 mark, Ole Miss reeled off four consecutive conference victories, putting themselves in a much better position. The Rebels will begin action tonight at 7 p.m. against SEC race leader Tennessee (22-3, 14-1 SEC) and continue Sunday at 1:30 p.m. against Kentucky (22-4, 13-2 SEC), who comes in right behind the Volunteers in the standings.

After tumultuous week, Rebels host
Louisiana Tech for Homecoming BY DAVID COLLIER dlcollie@olemiss.edu
Now that Monday’s news has settled in, it is time for some football. This Saturday, Ole Miss (2-7, 0-6 SEC) welcomes Louisiana Tech (5-4, 4-1 WAC) to town, the first of three games to finish out the Houston Nutt era in Oxford. “Louisiana Tech, they are a really good football team,” Nutt said. “They’ve really improved each game. They are an offense when you turn on the Houston game – they got 35 points on them before (Houston) knew what hit them. They can get up and down the field.” The offense that Nutt alluded to averages 398.8 yards per game and 30.2 points per game. The Bulldog offense is led by junior quarterback Colby Cameron, who took over for freshman signal caller Nick Isham two games ago. Cameron has thrown for 651 yards and six touchdowns in his two starts this season, wins over San Jose State and Fresno State. A guy that makes things easier for Cameron is junior wide receiver Quinton Patton, who has 61 receptions for 886 yards and nine touchdowns this sason. “(Patton) is as good of a re-
ceiver we are going to see all year,” Nutt said. “We’ve got to do a really good job on him and the quarterback because he can extend some plays. They can move the ball.” On the offensive side of the ball, the Rebels hope to play a complete game, but Louisiana Tech will try everything they can to not allow that to happen. “Tech’s defense is impressive,” Rebel offensive coordinator David Lee said. “I’ve talked to a couple of coaches. One said they were the best defense they had faced, the other said they were the second-best defense they had faced. Both of them have winning records.” As a whole, the Bulldog defense has 15 interceptions on the season, so junior quarterback Randall Mackey will need to protect the ball. “I think it speaks for the coaches,” Lee said of the Louisiana Tech secondary. “They really know what they’re doing. They’re reading off number one, number two. They’re always in the right position. You rarely see a guy running wide open against them. We’re going to have to go a long, hard way against them.” The youth movement continues to Ole Miss with freshman C.J. Johnson breaking into the

starting lineup for Saturday’s game. Also this week, there are a couple of Rebels nursing injuries. Junior tight end Jamal Moseley has been out of practice all week with a meniscus issue, while sophomore defensive end Cameron Whigham has been out after suffering a concussion against Kentucky this past Saturday. Kickoff between Ole Miss and Louisiana Tech is set for 6:30 p.m. from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and will be televised by CSS.
