Laquon Treadwell scores a touchdown in the fourth quarter to clench the victory Saturday against Auburn.

The frantic refreshing of MyOleMiss portal pages and double-checking of degree requirements, the perennial signs of course registration, came and left last week. When the dust settles, not all schedules are created equal. Having a registration time window later in the week can be both stressful and unfortunate, preventing some students from getting a spot in the classes they need. The Office of the Registrar uses a computer program to determine the registration windows for students. Windows are opened each hour between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Graduate and professional program students and students with disabilities are eligible to register for classes first. Then, undergraduate students are given their registration windows by classification and then by the number of credit hours each student has within each classification.

Successful inaugural TedxUM leads to annual events AUSTIN HILLE

The committee involved in organizing Saturday morning’s first TEDxUM event will now coordinate annual recurrences. TEDx is an independently organized branch of the popular TED conferences, which host a variety of thought provoking speeches from renowned thinkers and presenters with the purpose of promoting “ideas worth spreading.” Each of the 10 speakers de-

livered a speech of a 12 minute duration or less incorporating the theme “In Plain Sight.” The speeches covered a variety of interests and viewpoints involving issues such as education, nanotechnology and theatrical comedy and were delivered to a crowd of nearly 100. “I thought the event turned out extremely well,” Elizabeth Wicks, the student organizer for TEDxUM, said. “I really felt like it was an event that we will be proud to show to the world. For all the hard work that went into it, I was definitely really proud.”

Barring unforeseen circumstances, next year will bring a new event and a new theme. The committee is also looking for ways to involve the student body in the organization of the event sometime in the near future. “Ole Miss has so much to offer,” said Wicks. “Yet, a lot of times, some of the publicity that we get is not necessarily in the most positive light. With this TEDx and the ‘ideas worth spreading,’ we can really show the intellectual community within our University
