The Ole Miss defense attempts to prevent Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen from scoring a touchdown in Saturday’s football game, in which the Rebels lost 53-52 to the Razorbacks.

The game was in the Rebels’ hands not once, but twice Saturday. The Rebels were up 52-45 when junior quarterback Chad Kelly ran it in eight yards for the score and had the game in hand. The Ole Miss defense had Arkansas right where they wanted them in a fourth-and-25 situa-
tion to seal the shootout victory at home in overtime. Then, magic happened. Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen completed a pass to tight end Hunter Henry, which was about 10 yards short of the first down. Swarmed by multiple Ole Miss defenders, Henry blindly threw the ball behind him in an attempted lateral, it skipped around a few bounces and was picked up by the running back Alex Collins. Collins got the
ball and ran behind a brigade of blockers to pick up the first down. “They had a whole wall blocking for him on the lateral,” Hugh Freeze, head coach, said of the fourth-and-25 conversion for Arkansas. “It was a crazy play. I’ve never seen anything like that.” Shortly after converting the first down, on second-and-7, Allen found wide receiver Drew Morgan for the 9-yard score to

Oxford is regarded as one of the most charming cities in the South. Its idyllic, Mayberry appearance, however, doesn’t exempt it from issues like homelessness, hunger and poverty. Timber Heard, a 25-year-old Oxford resident, has experienced these problems firsthand. Since moving here in 2010, she has been without residence three times. “I was homeless in the wintertime mostly, and it was biting cold. I had one jacket that I kept with me everywhere,” Heard said. “I, actually, one night, got arrested for trespassing in the girls’ dorm at Ole Miss because I wasn’t a student. But they had a couch, and I just needed a place to stay. People who don’t think homelessness exists in Oxford are thoroughly blind, ignorant or stupid. It’s here. I lived it, and it’s growing.” Statistics compiled by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, however, show slight improvement on the national level. In 2014, over 578,000 individuals in the United States were homeless. That figure is a 2.3 percent decrease from the previous year. From 2013-2014, a period of economic recovery from the recession, Mississippi alone expe-
rienced a 7.4 percent decrease in the rate of homelessness, falling in the middle when compared to other Southern states. Alabama decreased by 2.7 percent. Louisiana decreased by 11.9 percent. Oxford Police Chief Joey East agreed there has been a decline in the rate of homelessness in Oxford. In his experience, most homeless individuals are “transients” - people temporarily without a home. “When I first started in ‘90, ’91, I feel like we had more (homeless) people then than we do now,” East said. “I think the reason for that is we had a bus stop here. We had a lot of homeless people that would come through and stay.” Although the rate of homelessness appears to be decreasing, the stigma that surrounds those without shelter remains. Heard said more often than not, when she walked around the Square, she would be reported to the police. She said she assumed it was because she was carrying all of her possessions on her back. “You hear people say, ‘Well, homeless people should get off the street,’” Heard said. “It’s not like we chose to be there. This is not our daily agenda. Trust me, if we had some place to go, we would go.” Heard said thanks to her

Student organizations host sexual assault awareness week ZOE MCDONALD
zkmcdona@go.olemiss.edu
Last fall after the White House launched the It’s On Us campaign, universities, on-campus groups, businesses and other organizations signed their pledge to become involved, educated and aware of sexual assault. Rebels Against Sexual Assault and ASB are partnering to present It’s On Us Week to raise awareness and educate communities about sexual assault. This week, students, faculty and staff can sign the It’s On Us pledge starting Monday in front of the Union. The pledge encourages sign-
ees to recognize consent and be aware of warning signs for sexual assault to help foster a safer environment for victims and prevent future instances. On Wednesday, there will be a screening of “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about different rape cases on college campuses. After the screening, there will be a short question and answer session. On Thursday from 5:30-7 p.m., there will be a discussion panel with the Title IX coordinator Honey Ussery, the Oxford Police Department, and the director of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct

Letter to the editor: Dear Editor, My names is Matthew Jones. I am a recent alumnus of the University of Mississippi, and I am now a third year law student at the University of Mississippi School of Law. I am proud of my university for its decision to remove the state flag of Mississippi from our campus. I do not need to go into the history of why the Confederate battle flag being included in the state flag is offensive. The imagery speaks for itself. I recently read the article titled “Student and alumnus create ‘Our State Flag Foundation,’” published on Nov. 4, 2015. It is apparent that the creators of this organization are misguided. The creators of this organization seem to insinuate that the University has a duty to fly a flag since it receives funding from the state. However, state funding is far from the only source of funding for our University. What about all the federal and private funding the University receives? Does our University owe an obligation to taxpayers in the 49 other states or the out-of-state students who pay additional tuition or private donors with an agenda? Furthermore, the organization claims that taking down the state flag is “disrespectful to the people of Mississippi” without seeming to care about all of the Mississippians or students that it offends. It chooses to view the University of Mississippi as an instrument of the state as opposed to an instrument of the students, faculty and alumni. If that were the case, the University might as well only offer classes sanctioned by the state government of Mississippi. Our history has demonstrated that is a horrible idea. According to the University of Mississippi’s Creed, our University is “dedicated to nurturing excellence in intellectual inquiry and personal character in an open and diverse environment.” This extends to challenging the state when the University believes it’s wrong, and it is wrong. Lastly, this organization attempts to profit by using one of our University’s logos, presumably without its permission. According to their Facebook page, you can purchase a sign for $10 which reads, “Ole Miss fly your state flag.” Their sign uses the script “Ole Miss” logo. As students and alumni of our beloved University, we should be tired of watching others attach our University’s logos to lost causes of the past. So, let’s continue to move forward and call this organization what it is: an embarrassment. Matthew Jones Juris Doctor

friends and a few kind strangers, she rarely went hungry. The UM Food Bank, located on campus in Kinard 213, assists students who aren’t as fortunate. Savannah Thomas, director of the food bank, said she believes hunger is an issue on campus, but doesn’t think it’s a consistent one. “We have regulars (that come to the Food Bank),” Thomas said. “That’s why our No. 1 thing is to keep everything anonymous and for there to be no stigma behind it.” The food bank provides canned goods, frozen goods and other non-perishable items for around 35 students a month. Donations are always accepted. “We’re all in the Ole Miss family,” Thomas said. “If one person on this campus looked after one more person, then none of us would need anything.” Though she said her faith faltered at times, Heard believes a divine power was looking after her through her experience. She currently has a home and a parttime job. She’s an aspiring author and is working on a novel titled “Sons of the Widow.” When she reflects back on the hardships she has faced – living in her car, sleeping on a wooden picnic table with only a coat as a
blanket, roaming the streets until 5 a.m. with no place to go, she said she is saddened, but inspired. She survived. “It’s been a hell of a ride,” Heard said. “In my talks with God, sometimes it’s just like, ‘okay God, we’ve done this together. You’ve brought me through that, so I can probably handle what’s next.’”

sault. If you see something, say something,” Romary said. “Sexual assault is kind of a thing that you know happens but you don’t want to talk about it. That’s what I noticed before this started. Now, it’s coming up in conversation more.” According to Green and Romary, RASA almost always receives positive reactions from people. “I think nationally, the stigma is lessening around [sexual assault],” Green said. “So it’s, maybe not easier, but people feel more comfortable talking about the issue.”

Aniesha Mitchell. Sophomore international studies major and RASA secretary Sydney Green said It’s On Us week is about bringing attention to the sexual assault issue. “We want to educate our fellow students about sexual assault and its prevalence on college campuses,” Green said. “We want to make sure that all of the University of Mississippi students know what resources are available to them and what they can do if they find they have experienced sexual assault.” Junior international studies major, ASB senator, and co-founder and President of RASA Elizabeth Romary said It’s On Us Week will spark conversation surrounding sexual assault. “We hope to get a discussion going about sexual assault on college campuses,” Romary said. “We’ll answer more questions about the film, what we can do as students and what we can do as a University and
as a community.” The week will end with The Clothesline Project, a display of community-crafted t-shirts to bring attention to the issues surrounding violence against women. RASA will invite members of the community to make t-shirts at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Minor Hall room B05C. The shirts will be hung outside on the Student Union plaza Friday. The shirts are anonymous and may tell a specific story, represent a victim of violence or share educational tidbits. “We’re really pushing the message that it’s on us as a university to take action, take a stand and stop sexual as-

Movie Review: ‘Burnt’ RATING: B
HAILEA LAMER
hrlamer@go.olemiss.edu
Bradley Cooper’s newest drama “Burnt” will leave a good taste in the audience’s mouth. The movie, directed by John Wells, begins in New Orleans with Cooper starring as Adam Jones, a young chef who loses his newfound fame to drugs and wild behavior. He left his failing restaurant in London to punish himself for his past mistakes. Moving forward a few years, Jones cleans up his act and heads back to London, only to be reunited on bad terms with a past coworker, Tony, played by Daniel Brühl. Adam ruined Tony’s father’s restaurant before he left, causing their first encounter to be extremely awkward and tense.
He has a proposition for Tony, however. In order to make Tony’s restaurant great again, he asks to be head chef. He hopes to achieve his goal to earn the establishment three Michelin stars and make it one of the best restaurants in the world. Tony reluctantly agrees and decides to hire him on the spot, giving him complete control of the kitchen and employees. At first, Adam runs the kitchen similar to what someone would see on “Hell’s Kitchen.” He constantly yells and belittles his staff, throws food away if it isn’t up to his incredibly high expectations. Overall, he is unbearable to work with. Throughout the movie, Adam transitions from an “everyone for themselves” mentality to striving for teamwork
throughout the kitchen. As time goes on, the staff is able to bring success to the restaurant and come together as a family. Quite a bit of drama happens in and out of the kitchen. Adam is being blackmailed for money by two men to whom he’s indebted, there is fierce competition with other restaurants, not to mention the drugs, alcohol and demons from Adam’s past that continue to haunt him. To top it off, there is a sneaky member of the kitchen who is determined to ruin Adam’s chances of gaining the third Michelin star. Aside from the dramatic elements in the film, there is some romance mixed in between Jones and his sous chef Helene, played by Sienna Miller. It is a romance that the viewer knows is going to happen but is left wondering “when” because the two deny their feelings for so long. This isn’t a movie to see if you just want romance, however, because there’s about 15 minutes of it overall. The language during the movie is incredibly strong, giving it the R rating it deserves. The notorious F-bomb was screamed often, making the audience feel uncomfortable at times. This is the ideal movie for people who love food or just want to spice up their lives temporarily. There are many different and delicious-looking dishes that are shown on screen, so be sure to stock up on popcorn and snacks before hitting the theater. This is not a movie to watch while you’re hungry.

In Ole Miss’ heartbreaking loss to Arkansas Saturday, the Rebels’ struggles were mostly on the defensive side of the ball. The Rebels gave up 45 points in regulation and 53 in all. “It seems like everything we did, they had an answer for,” Dave Wommack, Ole Miss defensive coordinator, said. “Even at the end when we got them in a situation in overtime, we weren’t able to finish it and do what we needed to do.” The defense surrendered the second most points since Freeze took over the Rebels program in 2012, only behind the 66 points the Rebels surrendered to Texas in 2012. “We felt like we had a good plan going in and obviously we didn’t. Now we have to go back to square one and look at it,” Wommack
said. “I haven’t had very many games like that in my entire career, but it hurts. I hurt for the players and coaches and fans and everything.” The game-changing play came on a fourth-and-25, when it seemed Ole Miss had stopped the Razorbacks. But a lateral went to running back Alex Collins, who followed a large group of blockers and ran for the first down.Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said he believes the main struggles of the defense were the Rebels’ inability to win one-on-one battles. “We struggled in every one-onone situation we had. I thought we controlled their run game pretty well,” Freeze said. “They are a solid run team. The number of big plays that we gave up was very disheartening.” Freeze said that Arkansas’ offensive success effected the Ole Miss offense, as it kept the defense on the field and didn’t give the of-

Improbable plays end Ole Miss’ national title dreams Arkansas head coach Brett Bielema had a decision to make after the score. He could kick the extra point and head to a second overtime period, or he could go for two and the win. He chose the latter. Allen took the snap. He rolled right. He was stopped short. Sophomore defensive end Marquise Haynes wrapped him up. The game was over. Until it wasn’t. Haynes unintentionally grabbed Allen’s face mask on the tackle. The officials saw it. They threw a flag. Arkansas would get another play. “We thought we had the game won and then that face mask call,” Elston said. “That stunk at that time,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “But it looked like it was the right call.”
When Allen took the snap and fell into the end zone on the next play, the game was over, along with Ole Miss’ national title chances and being in control of their own SEC west destiny. There would be no more crazy, wacky plays. There would be no more chances for the Rebels. It was over. That was it. Ole Miss is still mathematically alive in the SEC West. They need to win out. They need Arkansas to lose a game. They need Alabama to lose an SEC game. They need help. They don’t control their own destiny anymore. Improbable conversions and ill-timed penalties made sure of that. “If it works out for us, cool,” Breeland Speaks, defensive lineman, said. “If it doesn’t, cool.”

Ole Miss’ national title hopes were shattered mere inches from the goal line in the south end zone of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in 2014. Saturday night, in that same end zone, they were shattered again. The game was essentially over. Ole Miss was going to win and stay in the SEC west race. They had to make one play, one stop. It was fourth and 25 from the 40 for Arkansas in the first overtime session. They had to reach the Ole Miss 15 or the game would be over. It would
be nearly impossible for the Razorbacks. Until it wasn’t. Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen, who had the best game of his Razorback career Saturday, rolled left. He threw right. Hunter Henry caught the pass, 10 yards away from the line to gain. The Rebels’ defense tried to tackle him. Realizing he couldn’t get tackled with the ball, Henry threw a lateral pass backwards 15 yards to Arkansas’s starting running back, Alex Collins. Collins took the ball down the Razorback sideline to the Rebel 11-yard line.

“We talked to them about razzle-dazzle on that play. We talked to them about staying with their man. We told them some type of lateral would happen on that play,” Dave Wommack, Ole Miss defensive coordinator, said. “It happened.” “He just tossed the ball back,” senior safety Trae Elston said. “You’ve got to run to the ball.

continued from page 1 potentially tie the game at 52 and send it to a second overtime period. Razorback head coach Bret Bielema had other plans. Bielema kept his offense on the field to attempt the two-point conversion to win the game. And the heartbreak came. On the initial 2-point attempt, Allen dropped back to pass and was immediately met by sophomore defensive end Marquis Haynes, but Haynes was over-aggressive and pulled Allen down by the face mask. The penalty was called and gave Arkansas new life at another 2-point attempt. On the next attempt, Allen took the shotgun snap, ran to the right side of his offensive line and dove into the end zone to seal the improbable road victory for Arkansas and won the game 53-52. The loss broke the hearts of an Ole Miss team that was still in the driver’s seat to win the SEC West. “It is an extremely difficult way to end the game. I hurt for our kids, for our coaches, our fans and our administration,” Freeze said. “It is very difficult and gut-wrenching. It will test everything about you.” A somber Chad Kelly walked into the team meeting room at the Manning Center and sat in the chair, where the media

The first question was how he felt after the heartbreaking loss. Fighting back emotions, Kelly paused for about five seconds before answering. “It’s tough. Everybody played tough,” Kelly said. “Sometimes, it just doesn’t go your way. But you have to make sure you rebound.” Kelly played his best game as a Rebel. Kelly was the leading

dium thought they were going to stop them,” Kelly said on the defense in overtime. “The ball bounces a certain way and you can’t control that. We just got to regroup.” With the way both offenses were moving and scoring with ease, the game needed overtime to decide a winner. The Arkansas offense put 605 total yards of offense on Ole Miss, compared to the Rebels’ 590 yards of offense. Before overtime, it was a game filled with insanity that featured eight straight scoring drives at one point. High expectations were put

passer and rusher in the contest, totaling 478 yards of offense and six touchdowns on the day. Kelly went 24-34 passing for 368 yards with three touchdowns and had 11 carries for 110 yards and three scores. Kelly carried the Ole Miss offense as he went toe-to-toe with Razorback quarterback Brandon Allen. Allen finished the game with a career-high 442 yards passing and six touchdowns. It was gut-wrenching for Kelly as he stood on the sidelines, hoping the defense would get the stop needed to seal the victory. “I think everybody in the sta-

on this Ole Miss defense after two strong performances against Texas A&M and Auburn. The defense struggled and let Arkansas have their way through the air. The defense did hold a strong Arkansas running game to only 163 rushing yards, but gave up 442 passing yards to Allen. “Our plan was obviously not very good,” Freeze said on the defense. “Their quarterback played at an extremely high level. We struggled in every one-on-one situation we had.” “They were a step ahead of us in everything that we did tonight,” Dave Wommack, defensive coordinator, said. “We felt like we had a good plan going in. Obviously, we didn’t, and now we have to go back to square one and look at it.” The secondary for Ole Miss struggled mightily against the play-action passing game Arkansas features with a strong running game to back it up. The Rebel secondary gave up numerous big plays, and it cost them in the end. “We lost almost all of the oneon-one battles against their receivers and tight ends,” senior defensive back Trae Elston said. “That’s what we had to do to beat them, and we didn’t do that.” “The numerous amount of big plays we gave up was disheartening at times,” Freeze said. “I thought we rose up there at the end and we were going to get it done. Then the craziness occurred.” Although they have lost control of winning the SEC West and a chance to play for the conference title in Atlanta, there is still plenty of reason to play. It’s hard to focus on that now, but Freeze pleaded to his team after the game to keep their heads up and push forward the rest of the season. “We’ll respond. We’ll come out and fight,” Freeze said. “Crazy things happen, and there’s still a lot to play for. You never know what’s going to happen.” With the bye week coming up and two games against rivals LSU and Mississippi State, the players feel the fire is still there. “We just have to stay together. The season isn’t over,” Kelly said. “We’re all one family. We’re in this together.”
