James Meredith was escorted to classes by guards on Oct. 1, 1962, when he became the first African American student to be admitted to the University of Mississippi. His enrollment was regarded as a pivotal point in the fight for civil rights. On Monday, Meredith returned to campus with the Lion TV film crew for a documentary on the importance of his legacy in the South and in Southern education. He does not identify himself as a member of the civil rights movement, but his legacy on the university and in the South is undeniable. “The one thing old people don’t like is help,” Meredith said as he pushed himself up from a chair placed in the middle of Jerry Hollingsworth Field. Meredith is 86 now, but he still travels the world with his wife and family. He is lively and ready to laugh when he meets new people.

‘Banksgiving’ food drive fights seasonal hunger KENNETH NIEMEYER thedmnews@gmail.com
In one of the most food insecure states in the country, the University of Mississippi Food Bank is partnering with residence halls, Greek organizations and other departments on campus to host Banksgiving,

a holiday food drive to help give hungry students on campus access to food during the break. “We’re hoping that those organizations can help to bring in a lot of donations for the holiday season,” food bank director Kate Reinhardt said. Food bank volunteers said that it is important for students

Incorrect reporting and unclear communication have made the rescheduling of an upcoming campus lecture the subject of a debate about freedom of speech. The “Free To Offend” lecture from Daily Wire contributor Elisha Krauss was originally scheduled to take place at the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13. Then, after a few hours last Thursday, news broke that the event was seemingly canceled, and that it was instead moved to Auditorium 124 of the student union during the original time. The lecture was approved at the Overby auditorium following a misunderstanding from Overby Fellows. The Ole Miss chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a conservative activism organization, is hosting the event. However, since its founding in 2007, the Overby Center has observed a policy that prohibits partisan or openly ideological student groups from using its venue. Inaugural Overby Fellow Curtis Wilkie said that it was a misunderstanding of the organization that submitted the request that caused the oversight. President of the Ole Miss YAF chapter, Sarah Croft, has her major, public policy leadership, in her email signature. When she put in a request to book the venue, those who processed the request believed it came from the Trent Lott Leadership Institute. This error

continued from page 1 went unnoticed from the initial confirmation on Oct. 24 until Nov. 7, when Croft was informed the booking had been rescinded. “I’m still infuriated, considering they waited two weeks after our event confirmation to notify us that this policy was in place — especially when it was their responsibility to do their research early on,” Croft said. Wilkie said he made it clear to Croft that he hoped they would find another venue to use and that he supported their political activity on campus, but that the Overby Center cannot hold programs from “anyone with an axe to grind politically.” The same reasoning has been used in the past to deny requests from both conservative and liberal organizations, including Ole Miss Young Democrats. “We’re not denying them the right (to free speech). We just don’t feel it’s proper for it to be held in our auditorium,” Wilkie said. This is not just a policy set forth by Overby staff, as the Overby Center’s designation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization prohibits any partisan political activity. Wilkie told Croft, “From my many years as a political reporter, I know that (YAF) is strongly linked to the Republican Party.” Croft denies the assertion that YAF is linked to the Republican Party and has cited YAF’s own 501(c)(3) designation as evidence of them being nonpartisan. “Our organization has never participated in electioneering, campaigning, and we have never and will never back any candidates,” Croft said. However, the organization’s history shows otherwise. YAF’s spearheading of Barry Goldwater’s presidential bid in 1962 is what launched their organization, and his candidacy, onto the national stage. This was an attempt to unify the conservative faction of the Republican Party

against Goldwater’s moderate primary opponent, Nelson Rockefeller. Ronald Reagan joined the YAF National Advisory Board that same year. Reagan would eventually spend over 40 years as YAF’s Honorary National Chairman. “We do advocate for principles and ideas that are typically conservative. And they may, yes, align with one political party over another. But I think that people who believe in conservative ideas can come from all sides of the aisle, all sides of the political spectrum,” Croft said. After the Ole Miss chapter was informed they would have to find another venue, YAF’s official publication, The New Guard, published an article on the issue. They reported that the University of Mississippi canceled the event; however, the Overby Center acts independently from both the School of Journalism and New Media and the university as a whole. The report also stated that the Overby Center claims to only allow journalism-focused events in their venue. They do
host political programming, but all of it is either nonpartisan or bipartisan. For example, a recent analysis of Mississippi’s statewide elections featured two political strategists, one Republican and one Democrat. This event was also moderated by Wilkie and Charles Overby, the namesake of the center. “We don’t promote speeches. We have conversations,” Wilkie said. Less than two hours after The New Guard article was published, the only official response to the situation from the university came in the form of three tweets. Provost Noel Wilkin called Croft and Krauss to apologize and said that university administrators did not support the Overby decision. While Wilkie said he is glad that the university was able to reschedule the lecture quickly, he said he disagrees with some of the implications in the university’s response. He believed it implied that the Overby Center does not stand for freedom of speech and that they failed to consult with university administrators

before making decisions for the center. Administrators did not reach out to ask why the initial booking was cancelled before tweeting out the university’s response. “We have a history of strong support from the Lyceum. You know, I believe nobody has ever raised any question about any program we’ve ever had or any time that we’ve said no to somebody,” Wilkie said. The controversy has given the event a considerable amount of publicity. “I’ve been contacted by a few individuals who said they didn’t plan on coming before, and now they are,” Croft said. Croft was also contacted by the office of governor-elect Tate Reeves which said he was trying his best to attend. Croft also encouraged anyone who disagrees with YAF’s positions to attend, and said they would be invited to the front of the line for a post-lecture Q&A. “I think this couldn’t have come at a better time,” Croft said.
Chancellor Glenn Boyce will no longer use the UM Chancellor Twitter account as the primary way for the chancellor’s office to communicate to the university community. The university still owns the @UMchancellor Twitter handle, which was created in September 2016, but it is no longer active. In a statement to The Daily Mississippian, a university spokesperson said that Boyce considered which social media platforms would help him most actively engage with the largest number of university community members and settled on Facebook, citing a study from the Pew Research Center. The study found that 71% of U.S. adults use Facebook, and 65% of that number are under the age of 35. The study did not gauge college students’ use of social media. In a teleconference after his announcement as chancellor in October, Boyce said, “I will tell you also that first and foremost, I’ve always been a student-centered individual, and I don’t say that lightly.” He continued: “Lots of people use that term. And I don’t say that lightly. So I will be incredibly engaged with our students highly visible with our students.” The university spokesperson also said that Facebook would allow Boyce to share longer-form content. Former Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter shared longform content on Facebook and Twitter through screenshots of statements. UM Communications did not say if Boyce would run the account himself but did say that posts from Boyce will be signed. Former Chancellor Jeffery Vitter used both Facebook and Instagram during his tenure as chancellor and signed messages from himself on Facebook. “University Marketing & Communications works closely with the Office of the Chancellor to manage the chancellor’s public profile page. Personal posts from Chancellor Boyce on the new page will be signed,” Boyce said in the statement.

CIE hosts second annual REDe Summit DAVID BALLOWE
thedmnews@gmail.com
Ole Miss graduate David Flynn began his entrepreneurial ventures in high school with a security app, Safer in Seconds, but felt that he lacked the proper avenues execute some of his bigger ideas. Last year, Flynn attended the CIE’s REDe Summit and found other people who, like him, had a vision but needed direction. He’s now the founder of his own digital presence management business, Unbridled Group LLC, which helps businesses manage their websites, social media presence and search engine analytics. Flynn attributes his success to what he learned through attending the summit and his relationship with the CIE. “I learned what it takes to be successful — the grit, the perseverance required to push through all of the challenges present when it comes to entrepreneurship,” Flynn said. The CIE has seen over 40 companies created by its members in the six years they have been on campus, an impressive number for a relatively unknown portion of the university’s student resources. This year’s summit will focus on entrepreneurial change. In addition to Ammons, there will be an entrepreneurial change panel discussion featuring business people from MortgageTrade, Lenny’s Sub Shop and the online vehicle marketplace, Carvana. CIE program director Tong Meng believes that regardless of one’s field of study, this summit could help anyone who hopes to improve their critical thinking skills. “You won’t have all of the skillsets through one talk or
through one panel discussion,” Meng said, “but just learning from those entrepreneur’s experiences, their stories and finding a relatable experience among our students, that could be inspiring.” Meng wants students to know that while the CIE is part of the business school, both their office and this event are open to the public. In addition to the CIE, Ole Miss has the Entrepreneurship Club, which is also open to students from all fields of study and allows students to work in the CIE office. Maverick McSparin, co-president of the UM Entrepreneurship Club, believes this year’s summit will provide students with real-world examples of entrepreneurial ventures and create an environment that cultivates innovation. “We’ve got people in our club who are computer science majors, biology, (management information systems), all those types of aspects from all around campus,” McSparin said. “So that’s where I think the REDe Summit is a very integral part of pretty much developing an idea and understanding how entrepreneurship can affect all of those schools.” McSparin added that while the speakers and panelists are entrepreneurs, their experience spans across a broad range of fields, and that they can provide quality advice for those ready to act upon their business ideas. Flynn agreed with McSparin. From the app he made in high school to a social media platform called Hangaround that connects aviators, Flynn has been involved with multiple entrepreneurial ventures. His most successful venture, Unbridled Group LLC, is also his newest, and it was created prior the 2018-19 summit. After attending and having an active

This years summit will focus on entrepreneurial change. relationship with the CIE, he found that the information he learned could make his business ideas work more cohesively. “There’s a lot of resources that Ole Miss offers when it comes to entrepreneurship, and a lot of people don’t know about them,” Flynn said. “I think that’s why they’re hosting this event: to gain a little bit of traction and get more awareness about what they can offer students who have ideas.” Outside of the summit, the CIE offers walk-in entrepreneurial advice in their office from both student and faculty advisors, as well as entrepreneurial competitions where students can win prize money to help bring their ideas to life. This year’s summit will be held on Thursday at 11 a.m. in the student union ballroom.

Rebel defense prepares for powerful LSU offense JOSHUA CLAYTON
thedmsports@gmail.com
The Ole Miss football team’s blowout victory over the winless New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday was a welcome sight after three straight SEC losses, but celebrations this week will run short as they shift their focus to the top-ranked offensive LSU juggernaut. LSU has been among the biggest surprises of the season on the offensive side of the ball. Traditionally a run-heavy attack with old-school philosophies, the Tigers have brought their playbook into the 21st century with the help of Joe Burrow and a handful of extremely talented receivers. “This is why you coach. This is why you play, to be in games like this,” head coach Matt Luke said in a Monday press conference. “When you coach in the Southeastern Conference and play in this league, this is why you do it. We’ve played several top-10 teams this season and played well against them. I’m just excited about the opportunity and for our fan base.” Not only do the Tigers have the most balanced team in recent memory, they are also the most
tested team in the nation with wins this season over Texas, Florida Auburn and not to mention their convincing victory in Tuscaloosa last weekend. The key in all of those wins was the LSU offense, revolutionized by passing game coordinator Joe Brady. Brady spent a season as an offensive assistant under Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints before moving to Baton Rouge before this season. Brady brought components of the Saints’ pass-happy offense to LSU’s playbook and sprouted one of the most dynamic systems in college football. The Tigers average 379.3 passing yards per game, only behind an air-raid Washington State offense that has had 148 more pass attempts this season. The Tigers are also among the most efficient passing attacks in the nation with a 77.1% completion rate and a 10.4 average yards per completion. “We’ll have our work cut out for us. We’ve got to find ways to slow them down and bow our neck in the red zone (and) try to hold them to field goals,” Luke said. “You can’t totally shut these guys down; you try to find ways to slow them down and make it a four-quarter game.” Leading the explosive offense is quarterback Joe Burrow, an

Ole Miss will face top-ranked LSU this weekend, which features one of the most prolific offenses in college football. Ohio State transfer who arrived in Baton Rouge last year. Burrow has since separated himself as a Heisman trophy favorite, especially after his performance in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. Burrow is currently second in the nation with 3,198 passing yards with 33 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on 78.9% completion rate. He’ll look to pick on an Ole Miss secondary that has been a weak spot on an improving defense. “The thing that makes Burrow so special is (that) he’s kind of like Tua (Tagovailoa). He throws the ball really well
in tight windows and is able to be very accurate,” defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre said. Burrow’s supporting cast has been just as impressive in its undefeated season. Receivers Justin Jefferson and Ja’marr Chase have combined for 1,787 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns. MacIntyre was also complimentary of tailback Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who has been an underrated asset for the Tigers this year. The 5-foot-8 Baton Rouge native tallied 103 rushing yards and three touchdowns with 20 carries to
help put away the game against Alabama. “Clyde is an excellent runner. He makes a lot of people miss. He’s really compact, really quick. He really makes them go,” MacIntyre said. “When they run their dive read, he’s able to hit and jump cut really well. He’s able to make the linebacker miss in the hole quite often, and then when he gets in the open field, he makes the safeties miss.” The Rebel defense will need four quarters of perfect execution on every level to slow down the LSU attack on Saturday when the Tigers visit Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Ole Miss left out of 2019 NCAA Tournament MADELINE CLICK
thedmsports@gmail.com
The Ole Miss Rebels’ soccer season came to an abrupt end after the Rebels did not make the NCAA Tournament. Five SEC teams made the NCAA Tournament. Arkansas, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Florida and Vanderbilt are the five teams moving on in postseason play.
The tournament bracket came out a week after Ole Miss’ loss to Arkansas in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament and a huge firstround win against Mississippi State. The Rebels dropped to No. 54 in the RPI following the loss, which was low enough to keep them out of the tournament. The Rebels had a solid season despite the short ending. Two Rebels landed on All-SEC honors. Channing
Foster was named to the First Team All-SEC while Mo O’Connor was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. It is the third straight year a Rebel is on the First Team All-SEC list and the fourth time in the last five seasons that a Rebel is on the SEC All-Freshman Team. This was Foster’s third year in a row making it on an All-SEC team. She was selected to the 2017 SEC All-Freshman Team and 2017 All-SEC Second Team,
as well as the 2018 All-SEC Second Team. Foster also led the conference in shots per game, averaging 4.2 a game. O’Connor, an Oxford native, finished her freshman campaign with two goals on the season and was voted as one of the top eleven rookies in the SEC by the league’s coaches. Ashley Orkus was third in the SEC in saves per game, averaging 4.5 a game. The Rebels finished with an
overall record of 10-7-3, ending at 3-4-3 in SEC play. Three of their four SEC losses came from teams that qualified for the tournament. Their biggest win of the season was against No. 19 Florida, the Rebels’ first win over the Gators in a decade. The season ended sooner than hoped, but the Rebels are ready to focus on next season and work to get back into the NCAA Tournament.

Smart home devices are a security risk ARIANNA SWENSEN
thedmfeatures@gmail.com
Smart home devices — including doorbell security cameras, smart assistants and even your smart fridge — have been discovered to have multiple security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can lead to leaked Wi-Fi passwords and Gmail logins, and further compromise other devices on the same network. Apartment complexes using smart home hubs — electronic keys — instead of traditional locks found that security weaknesses allowed users on the same Wi-Fi network to open any door in the complex. Most recently, on Nov. 7, Amazon’s Ring doorbells were found to reveal users’ Wi-Fi passwords because of an unencrypted connection. While many of these vulnerabilities are fixed before being revealed to the public, concerns about exploitability still remain. Smart fridges, an increasingly popular phenomenon, have had issues with Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) validation, which is used to encrypt a network connection. When this network connection is not encrypted, a malicious user could access the network the refrigerator was hosted on, allowing them to gain access to users’ Gmail login information, or other passwords on the device. Worse, their early software update policies were nonexistent. Users didn’t know when their device would be updated, or what security holes were getting patched. Any device connected to a home network becomes an immediate security risk. A fridge or a doorbell can be used to compromise an entire home, and all of the devices within it. While losing a Netflix account or a grocery list may not be a big deal in the long run, the longterm implications of losing confidential documents or suffering a DDoS attack can be much greater. A Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS) is an attempt to completely overload a server or network using multiple devices. After

compromising one device, like a smart fridge or doorbell security camera, a hacker uses that device to infect others and create a network of “zombie” devices, focused on sending requests to a server or network. This causes the network to lose regular function, restricting network function for normal users. The more devices you have, the more vulnerable you leave yourself to this kind of attack. Once your work laptop or your smartphone
are infected, it can travel with you on your mobile devices and compromise the security of your work network, leaving your workplace vulnerable to a complete network crash and ultimately, financial loss. In a competitive market, technology companies are racing to get ahead of each other with the next big thing. Rushed software rollout causes unavoidable vulnerabilities in smart home devices: vulnerabilities that are still being discovered.
Until more strict regulations are put into place to protect against security issues, these problems will continue to appear. Often, they will not be disclosed until after the fact. For now, avoid putting Alexa on your Christmas list, and get a grocery list app if you hate keeping it on paper. If you want front door security, install a traditional security camera. And if you just want to see who’s at the door, use the peephole.

Ford Center honors vets through concert CAROLINE NIHILL
thedmfeatures@gmail.com
On Monday, the University of Mississippi Choir, Orchestra and the Oxford Civic Chorus performed in honor of Veterans Day. Ole Miss ROTC groups volunteered to support the program and recognize veterans in the area. Marketing director Kate Meacham noted that this event was one of the first of its kind. The choir often holds its concerts at the Ford Center, but Meacham does not recall a formal veterans concert held in the center before this year. “We always like having the university ensembles here and also having community groups here as well,” Meacham said. “So this is kind of a kind of perfect storm. It’s kind of a great time for the campus and the community to come together to do a performance. It’s
truly a good night, a great idea and a wonderful thing that we’re able to take part in.” Throughout the performance, veterans were both personally honored and recognized as groups. The event started with a chance for those who have served to stand with those who fought during the same time. Speaker Andrew Newby, assistant director of veterans and military services at the university, focused on those who returned from Vietnam after enlisting or being drafted and not being welcomed back the same way previous veterans had. “I also make an effort to individually recognize those veterans who served during the Vietnam War and make it a point to welcome them home,” Newby said. “Because of the way they were treated, my generation of service members don’t have to experience that form of resentment.”

The event was also an opportunity for ROTC members to be recognized for what they do and participate in honoring local veterans. “It’s a recognition different from Memorial Day,” Maroney said. “Veterans Day
is an opportunity to recognize differently here at the university with the ROTC program. The cadets, the midshipmen and the Marines that will serve (have) an opportunity to recognize those that are serving and have had the opportunity to serve our country.” The performance featured stories of local veterans, the presentation of the colors from the university’s color guard and the Scroll of Honor. The Ford Center facilitated the event put together by campus groups and is interested in holding more community-based events in the future. “We can only grow from here, and I know that based on the level of support we received in our first year, this will only get better as we continue to highlight the shared service of our community’s incredible veterans, past and present,” Newby said.

OPINION Right-wing speakers are coming to campus. That’s okay. KATIE DAMES

Elisha Krauss, a rightwing journalist and contributor to the Daily Wire, will speak on campus on Wednesday in an event sponsored by the Ole Miss chapter of the conservative student organization Young Americans for Freedom. After Overby Center administrators cancelled the event at that venue, students and national conservative organizations have labeled Ole Miss as another antagonist to free speech. The university has since found a new venue for the event, and the neo-Nazi website, Daily Stormer, has since posted this event on their website, encouraging its followers to attend. However, the sentiment that Ole Miss is antifree speech remains. This is far from the truth. I do not agree with the messages presented by Krauss
and especially not with the messages of the organizations she represents, but with security set in place to ensure that the community is protected from the hate groups planning to attend the event, she should be allowed to speak. Although giving people with extreme rhetoric a space to share their ideas may seem to validate their message, silencing them fuels their need to be louder. Considering our campus exists in such a diverse environment, inclusivity must be at the forefront of our university’s values. Our differences also give us the opportunity to engage in productive conversation. When folks lump Ole Miss into the same category as leading liberal-leaning institutions, it erases much of our reality. We had actual neo-Confederates and a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan protest on campus to support Confederate iconography
within the last five years. Let’s acknowledge that the worst of hate speech is heard on our campus, and that our university has a record of allowing that speech to take place. Krauss tweeted shortly after the announcement of the cancellation of the event in the Overby Center, saying, “Funny that my speech was gonna be about the importance of free speech... even for those we don’t agree with.” Even if I do not agree with her on many issues, I agree with her right to speak. When we listen to those whose values we might abhor and allow them to speak, we are not humoring their behavior. Instead, it is an opportunity to understand how people’s experiences have given them a worldview different than our own and to find space for common ground.

statue, I received a lot of critical — and sometimes cruel — feedback about the work I was doing. I know that my position was privileged, but in my situation, I was able to channel the dissent I faced and use it to open conversations with those who disagreed with or taunted me. In a Gallup poll of American college students, about half of college students think freedom of speech and inclusivity are very important. However, when asked to choose which ideal is more important, inclusivity won Opinion Policies:

53% to 46%. There is a fine balance between making sure that people have the freedom to express whatever they desire and ensuring that students’ educations are not negatively affected by that rhetoric. Thanks to the diversity of thought on our campus, students are able to open dialogues that can be had in few cities other than Oxford.

continued from page 1 on school.” Students experiencing food insecurity might not be able to afford a sufficient amount of nutritious food. A 2016 Hunger Report from Students Against Hunger found that 20% of four-year institutions experience very low food security, and 56% of first-generation college students were food insecure. A report from Feeding America found that 20% of Mississippians were food insecure in 2016. Anywhere from eight to 20 students come each week to pick up food, food bank volunteer Connor Smith said. The food bank is open to faculty and staff as well, but Smith said he’s never seen a non-student come in. The food bank also started accepting applications on Monday for its new meal swipe donation program, which allows students to donate unused meals from their meal plans and give them to other students. The program had 10 applicants, who want to receive donated meal swipes, within the first two hours, Smith said. The volunteer-run food bank is not open during Thanksgiving or winter breaks, but students can take as much food as they need beforehand to provide for themselves once the school shuts down for the holidays.
Most students who live on campus are forced to vacate their campus housing during the Thanksgiving and winter breaks unless they submit a request to stay on campus. Residence Halls 2 and 3, Campus Walk and Northgate apartments, Luckyday Residential College and Residential College South are the only buildings that remain open through both breaks. All of the exclusively freshman dormitories close over the breaks, which leaves residents with no option but to return home or find another place to stay. Those who do stay on campus will find all regular dining options closed on Thanksgiving Day. Rebel Market will be open for the rest of the week and the Oxford food bank, The Pantry, will be open on Nov. 26. Tex Boren, a Crosby Hall community assistant, filled out a request to stay in the building over Thanksgiving because their hometown is 10 hours away. Boren typically eats their meals in the student union and does not plan to eat at the Rebel Market during the break. Instead, Boren plans to buy groceries and use the kitchen areas in Crosby to cook their own meals over the break, but is not opposed to using the food bank. “I haven’t (used the food bank) before, but I’m a broke college student, (so) any food is best,” Boren said. This is the second year that

The University of Mississippi Food Bank is partnering with residence halls, Greek organizations and other departments on campus to host Banksgiving, a holiday food drive to help give hungry students on campus access to food during the break. the food bank has held Banksgiving. Last year, one fraternity donated over 400 food items, and around 700 food items were donated in total. Reinhardt is hoping that this year’s drive will surpass those numbers. “We’re hoping that we can get more than that, but we also have a Kroger order coming in. They just donated $11,000 to us, which is really awesome, so we’re able to use that to buy a lot of great

nutritious foods that people can take for the holiday break,” Reinhardt said. Reinhardt said that she might keep the food bank open during the beginning of winter break this year because she will still be in Oxford to student teach. She also said that she plans to extend food banks hours over breaks in the future. “There’s a six week period where people aren’t able to get

all the food that they need, so we just tell people that they can stock up,” Reinhardt said. “That’s why we do this drive, so that we have plenty of food so that people can take as much as they need.” Non-perishable food donations can be taken to the food bank in Kinard room 213 or dropped off at any residence hall on campus. The University of Mississippi Food Bank is accepting donations until Nov. 22.
