Ole Miss choirs sing during their concert last night at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts. The University of Mississippi choirs paired with the Professional Orchestra to perform Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana.” Based on medieval Latin poems, “Carmina Burana” is one of the best-known cantatas of the 20th century. The work for a large orchestra, solo singers and a chorus is divided into three sections, “Springtime,” “In the Tavern” and “The Court of Love.”
Counterfeit money reports surface in Oxford JACK ORLOFF
thedmnews@gmail.com
The Oxford Police Department reported three counts of counterfeit money being used last week. Two reports were from the Oxford Commons and the third was from Larson’s Cash Saver, a local grocery store. According to OPD Lt. Chris Case, the suspect used a fake $100 bill, which contained a fake
serial number on it, at the movie theater and at Larson’s Cash Saver. “We have video of a middle-age, slender black male who appears to be our suspect both at the theater and at Larson’s,” Case said. “However, we have not identified him yet.” Brent Larson, the co-owner of Cash Saver, said this is not the first time someone has tried to use counterfeit cash to purchase something. “People will try to pass it up as
much as they can, especially this time of year, when money gets tight,” he said. “We call the police department to come down and pick it up. We try and find the person on tape and try to get the face recognition on him. We try to match a name with a face or try and find somebody who knows him,” Larson said. Law enforcement has made no arrests in either investigation so far. The manager at the Malco
Theater declined to comment due to the fact that it is an ongoing investigation. “We have other people and agencies working to try and get this guy as well,” Case said. If you have any information on these crimes, contact OPD. In an unrelated case earlier this year, a man was caught on camera purchasing drinks using counterfeit bills at The Levee Bar and Grill. An arrest was made, and the case has been closed.
The Meek School of Journalism and New Media will host its second Data Day, designed to introduce students to professional experts in journalism technology, at the Overby Center today. The event’s speakers include media researcher Jessica Mahone, a MediaShift.org business director, Google News lab trainer Mike Reilley and Precision Strategies Senior Associate David Hudson. Speakers will lecture on the use of content analysis in the digital age, Google My News and digital media use in business. Students will learn to scrape data, use Google Fusion and tools to promote clients’ products to their target consumers. Each speaker will present for around an hour. Five journalism school faculty members will speak, three of which will present on data-based research. Scott Fiene, program director and assistant professor in the integrated marketing communications program, developed the program last year. This year, journalism professor Jennifer Sadler helped organize the event. “We will take a brief 15-20 minutes to talk about our research, which is pulling social media feeds of major news organizations in the three months leading up to the election to look at bias and other factors that contribute to how/ what news share on social media,” Sadler said.

Examine President Trump’s policies, not his words COLUMN

Yes, I voted for Donald Trump, and I am a Christian. Yes, I voted for Donald Trump, and I believe in gender equality. Yes, I voted for Donald Trump, and I champion LGBTQ rights. Yes, I voted for Donald Trump,
and I have an unwavering respect for the dignity of other human beings. You may call my counterparts and me hypocrites, bigots and racists. And if all Trump had to offer were his inflammatory, divisive rhetoric prevalent in his campaign, you would be correct. But I urge you to dig deeper than Trump’s apparent insecurity and hunger for fame. Move past the politics of the election, which are admittedly so easy to become swamped in and infuriated with, and focus on cold, hard policy. Because I assure you, a bill passed through Congress has much more impact on your life than the shallow, vote-mongering insults of a presidential candidate. Recently, President-elect Trump released his plans for his first 100

days in office, covering everything from tax policy to cleaning up corruption in Washington. Examining his proposals, I realized something—the Republican Party’s strength, as well as its fallibility, lies in its calculating silence. Let me explain. The right is often criticized for being callous and inhumane. Its opponents point to its deliberate ignorance of minority rights and the perpetuation of equality. Perhaps this is an easy perception to acquire — after all, most Republican candidates will not incorporate these points into their stump speeches. But while they do not always talk about them openly like the left wing does, they are toiling silently behind their desks, drafting policy to strengthen the middle class and ensure

all Americans—regardless of gender or skin color—have an equal chance to lift themselves out of poverty. They work to ensure America remains a republic of the people, not political insiders in Washington. While I abhor many of the comments Trump made on his campaign tour, I have to overcome hurt feelings to heed to policy. Trump’s plan for health savings accounts will lead to greater accountability and responsibility among citizens on welfare, while continuing to ensure they have coverage.

more flexibility to invest in small businesses and other enterprises. The application of term limits and lobbying barriers will lead to more transparency in Washington. I believe in Trump’s policies because I believe in the abilities of the lower and middle classes and minority communities — not the view that they’re “downtrodden” or “helpless,” as some would have us believe. So stop settling for talk, which is nothing but cheap. Because once Trump is inaugurated, we may all have a little more money to spread around.

Alumni Association’s ‘Class Cab’ brings trivia, students to campus AUSTIN HILLE
ahille1234@gmail.com
From 2005 to 2012, “Cash Cab” was a popular daytime game show. Four years after its demise, the Ole Miss Alumni Association is reinventing the concept with its new “Class Cab” here on campus. “Ideally it is a spinoff of ‘Cash Cab,’ which is a TV show where people hop in an unassuming cab, and then it lights up and they are driven to their destination, winning prizes along the way,” Sunny Eicholtz, coordinator of student engagement programs, said. “Class Cab is similar in concept. You hop in, and they give you a ride to class, and you are asked Ole Miss trivia along the way. For each tier of questions you complete, you win a prize.” Prizes include a variety of Ole Miss related items, ranging anywhere from a pen to something as exclusive as a signed football. The cab has already made its maiden voyage on campus this semester, decked in various red and blue party decorations, with videos currently available
for viewing on the association’s various social media platforms. “We kind of use it as a way to promote different events in Student Alumni Council,” Eicholtz said. “Like I said, it’s new, so we just started it to help promote Bridging the Gap, which was our alumni panel here in October. Eventually it will just be a fun thing to do on campus.” Each ride is supported by a variety of sponsors, the biggest of which is the Student Alumni Council, providing a perfect outlet to get the word out regarding various council events. Before each trip, the Alumni Association promotes the opportunity to ride on the cab through social media. As of right now, there is no specific time or schedule the cab runs on, but each trip will be announced in advance via social media. However, as the tradition carries on, this may not continue to be the case. “Once it becomes a thing and everybody knows what it is, that may change,” Eicholtz said. “It
may be just one or two tweets and then just kind of a surprise, like the real ‘Cash Cab.’” Eichholtz sees the concept eventually becoming a staple on campus. “This is a new position for me as coordinator of student engagement, so I am just hoping to raise awareness for the Alumni Association here on campus,” Eicholtz said. “What better way to do that than by having a bright blue golf cart driving around, picking up students and helping them get to class? It’s just kind of a convenience thing and a fun way to spread some alumni cheer.” Students around campus have spoken favorably of this new activity on campus and hope to ride the Class Cab soon. “It seems like a really fun idea,” Stuart Woods, a senior mechanical engineering student, said. “I would certainly look forward to the opportunity of playing the game and not having to walk across campus.”
WORKSHOP
continued from page 1 Sadler and journalism instructor Ji Hoon Heo will introduce students to Tableau to help them visualize the data sets, which can streamline tables of complex. “I hope students will become more excited about data journalism and more aware of the tools to extract, analyze and visualize,” Heo said. Naeemul Hassan, an Ole Miss computer science professor, will also contribute. Hassan specializes in data and has received numerous awards for his research. He has researched data fact-checking and computational journalism. “The IMC program is fairly new at Ole Miss, and Data Day is our way of giving students a glimpse of the fields they may be able to go into after graduation,” Sadler said. “It also serves as a platform for connecting students to professionals and gives them
on-site training with relevant, timely tools.” This year, students will get a chance to participate in training sessions at the end of the program, giving students a chance to get hands-on experience with tools the speakers use on a day-to-day basis. “It will give our students the opportunity to not only hear and learn from speakers but also give them a chance to ask questions in a smaller session,” Sadler said. Senior broadcast journalism major Avery Gore is attending Data Day for the first time this year. Gore said she is excited to learn about utilizing data in her writing the importance of how it will impact the professional world. “I hear that the speakers are speakers coming from Google, the Pew Research Center and The White House, and what better place to learn about data than those institutions?” Gore asked.

‘Jessica Rabbit’ isn’t new, but we liked it anyway HANNAH WILLIS
hlwilli2@go.olemiss.edu
A lot of times, when first listening to a new song or album, I’ll imagine it as a movie soundtrack. For the Sleigh Bells’ new album “Jessica Rabbit,” that movie would have to be an angst-filled teenage drama where a female protagonist finds love and heartbreak in the big city. However, this girl is no average babe. She has to have a killer wardrobe, maybe some tattoos and the perfect eye roll. Teenage drama is nothing new, and neither is “Jessica Rabbit,” but that doesn’t mean it’s not enjoyable. If you’re unfamiliar, the musical duo Sleigh Bells has nothing to do with Christmas. Trying to go caroling with their music would definitely get the cops called on you. As with all of their music, expect a lot of breathy vocals that are hard to understand with aggressive accompanying music. This group has never sought to be mainstream, and that theme continues with “Jessica Rabbit.” Sleigh Bells’ newest album brings 14 songs that pretty much sound the same, which is great if you like their sound. The vocals for most songs sound like straight-up Christina Aguilera circa early 2000s and are often undecipherable. Expect the beats to create most of the energy. At times, “Jessica Rabbit” feels like a fight between the music and vocals. They’re both loud and don’t always make sense, but blast it on the dance floor, and you might not care. If you make room for one song, make sure it’s “I Can’t

Stand You Anymore.” It’s a genuinely good song where the music and vocal pairing are the most cohesive and give the best listening experience. Even if alternative music isn’t your thing, “I Can’t Stand You Anymore” can still appeal to the average listener, but in all honesty, this album will not be for most people. Descriptions of the musical duo Sleigh Bells often use words like “experimental” and “unique.” Those words might
not attract the majority of the Ole Miss student body, but this album might find a home in our small but strong alternative culture. So now I ask you: Do you find yourself at The Blind Pig on Monday trivia night? Is Shelter your second home? Have you spent many Thursday nights at Proud Larry’s with 30 of your closest friends? If so, please check out “Jessica Rabbit,” or at least listen to a couple songs.
Because of the heavy beats, this could be an incredible workout album. The strong rhythm will keep you on beat even when your muscles are screaming for you to stop. With Thanksgiving Break and finals, there might not be time right now in your busy schedule for “Jessica Rabbit,” and that’s OK. However, when six weeks of break are staring you in the face, spending some time with some experimental pop might not be so terrible.
If this isn’t your normal thing, just listen to a couple of songs really quick. What’s the worst that could happen? “Jessica Rabbit” might not win a Grammy, but that’s fine. Go into it with an open mind, and you might be impressed. At the minimum, it will give you an appreciation for the music you already love. Then throw on a flannel and a beanie, because Sleigh Bells might awaken the inner hipster you never knew was there.

Wunderlich: The pressure of his game-winning kick BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Gary Wunderlich booted a couple of footballs into the kicking net on the sideline as time wound down against Texas A&M. He knew what was coming as the seconds ticked off the clock. “With about five minutes left, I had decided that it was going to come down to a kick, so mentally I was able to get ready and just did my normal warm up kicking into the net and went out there and we got the job done,” Wunderlich said. He’d never been in this situation in his life. He’d never been asked to kick a field goal to win a game. He tried to calm his emotions. “Never being in that situation before, obviously I knew this kick was kind of the deciding factor,” Wunderlich said. “But I was
able to focus and calm down.” He wanted solidarity. He wanted to be left alone to focus. Hugh Freeze knew better than to talk to his kicker beforehand, and it’s exactly what Wunderlich preferred. “I don’t really like anyone talking to me. I just try to keep to myself,” Wunderlich said. A couple of teammates told him they’d believed in him, and why not? He’d made 12 of 13 kicks this year while quietly putting together one of the finest seasons in all of college football. But again, this situation was new to him. The snap from Will Few came out well. Will Gleeson held it firm. Wunderlich hit it from 39 yards away, but he toed it a little bit. “I didn’t hit it very well. It kind of went off my toe. I thought I missed it right, too,” Wunderlich said. “But it kind of hooked
back in. I was very nervous when it came off my foot. But when I saw it hook back in, I was relieved.” It snuck inside the right upright and gave Ole Miss its first lead since he did so in the first quarter with a 25-yard kick. It won Ole Miss the game. “Will Few, again, like I said a couple of weeks ago, has just been great. Gleeson holding has just been awesome,” Wunderlich said. “The guys up front blocking, we couldn’t get it done with out them. I think they’re overlooked, but they did a great job.” Wunderlich jogged off the field just as calmly as he’d entered the game, a sense of calmness you might expect from a guy who has made 92.9 percent of his kicks this year. Ole Miss was 37 seconds away from its first SEC win since September, and it held on, thanks to the right foot of Wunderlich and his 13th field goal this year.

Saiz tip-in lifts Rebels over UMass
BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Ole Miss has been tested early this year. Coming off a tight victory over UT-Martin, the Rebels were taken to the wire by the UMass Minutemen, winning on a tip-in from Sebastian Saiz as time expired. Ole Miss set the tone early, jumping out to a 14-9 lead. Following the theme of last week, junior guard Deandre Burnett picked up two fouls in the first two minutes, sidelining him for much of the first half. It was a physical game as each team entered the bonus by the 11-minute mark of the opening half. Saiz, who was limited to 17 minutes in the season opener because of aforementioned foul trouble, came out of the gate hungry. He led Ole Miss with six quick points out of the gate, surpassing his opening-night total of five in his first five minutes of action. In another bright spot, transfer guard Cullen Neal looked exceptional in the first half, leading the team in scoring with 12 points. In addition to the 12 points and three long-balls, Neal handled most of the point guard duties, leading the Rebels through the Minutemen pressure and getting them set on offense. He only had one first-half turnover. After the Ole Miss lead ballooned to nine with 10 minutes left, the Minutemen controlled the rest of the half, closing on a 29-12 run and taking a 48-40 lead into the intermission. The run was highlighted by some excellent guard play from junior guard Donte Clark and freshman guard DeJon Jarreau. They combined for 34 of the UMass 48 points in the first half, including going a collective 6-11 from deep. As a team, UMass shot 9-18 from three in the first half, compared to just 4-11 for the Rebels. The Rebels came out of the gate firing, cutting the lead to two in the first minute and a half of action. Sophomore guard Terence Davis, who surprised in last Friday’s season debut with 19 points on 9-13 shooting, ignited the Rebel offense in the second half. He scored on a nifty baseline drive and quick three in consecutive possessions, prompting UMass Coach Derek Kellogg to call timeout. The Minutemen settled in, though, continuing to knock

Ole Miss guard Cullen Neal and UMass guard Zach Lewis battle during Monday night’s game. Neal ended the night with 21 points, one rebound, two assists and two steals. With the 90-88 win over UMass, the Rebels improved to 2-0. down threes and play stout defense. After trading buckets for about eight minutes, the UMass pressure turned defense into offense, and they took an 80-74 lead with 7:30 to play. “It just looked like we weren’t comfortable dribbling the ball. We weren’t aggressive,” Ole Miss Head Coach Andy Kennedy said. The UMass full-court pressure got to the Rebel ball handlers a little more in the second half, causing four turnovers. And when it wasn’t causing turnovers, it was at least giving Ole Miss discomfort. For the majority of the second half, the Rebel offense wasn’t able to get set and run its plays until deeper into the shot clock. With just 3:40 left to play, the Minutemen lead was 8879. After some costly Minutemen turnovers and some clutch shooting down the stretch from Burnett, the game was tied at 88 with 35 seconds left. After an odd turn of events and two quick turnovers, the Rebels had the ball with 31.9 seconds left on the clock. Holding until about seven seconds left, the transfer guard took a screen to the hole. Burnett’s floater rimmed out with three seconds

left, but Sebastian Saiz cleaned it up, tipping in the game-winner with less than three seconds left. “(Burnett) did exactly what I wanted him to do. Downhill to his right, he just missed it,” Saiz said. “Sebaz had a tremendous game,” Kennedy said. “He stepped up big for us when we were struggling across the board.” Saiz’ game-winner was the icing on the cake in a game where he put up big numbers. The senior finished with a career-high 19 boards in addition to his 22 points. Kennedy acknowledged the early success but still has questions regarding his squad’s toughness and grit in the first two contests. “We’re getting on the plane 2-0. This gives us a chance to reset ourselves and see who we are as a team. I don’t know about you, but I see a team that’s much grittier, much tougher than what I’m seeing in these games,” Kennedy said. Let’s hope the Rebels can harness that grit. They’ll need it as they travel Wednesday to compete in the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands.
PATTERSON
continued from page 8 night, but it wasn’t too big for Patterson. “I never really felt any pressure. Having that O-line in front of me and those receivers out there making plays made my job a lot easier,” Patterson said. “The defense played lights out in the second half. So just the people around me, the support I had around me and the coaches preparing me. Coach (Hugh) Freeze and Coach (Dan) Werner prepared me all week like I was the starter, so that really helped me.” He made the throws, and he extended plays with his feet. He gave kicker Gary Wunderlich a chance to win the football game. When the Rebels needed it most, Patterson delivered. “Once I got settled in there at the end of the second quarter, it felt like high school again,” Patterson said. It took a little time, though. The offense stumbled out of the gates as Patterson got his feet wet. After all, his first college start came in one of the most enormous venues in college football, against a top-10 team, while going to war with an offensive line that was hurting. “I thought Shea (Patterson) handled himself well; I
knew he would, or I probably wouldn’t have done what I did in pulling his redshirt,” Head Coach Hugh Freeze said, “A lot of playmakers made plays around him, the Damore’ea (Stringfellow) catch, the Markell (Pack) catch, just a lot of good plays there, but I really think the heroes offensively are Robert Conyers and Sean Rawlings. Those are the kind of guys that go without attention, and neither really probably felt good enough to play, didn’t practice all week.” Freeze said on Saturday night after the game that Patterson didn’t get bothered by a whole lot. The thickness of his skin was certainly tested in a hostile environment. He’d been hit. A couple of drives earlier, Myles Garrett planted him into the grass and came away with the football. He could have folded. Texas A&M was in control of the game at that point. He stuck it out. “Luckily, we have a great group of seniors in Evan Engram and Robert Conyers really keeping me level-headed throughout the game,” Patterson said. “They just made my job so much easier.” Ole Miss knew what Patterson was facing and rallied around him. And it resulted in their biggest win of what has been a rollercoaster ride of a 2016 season.

Quarterback Shea Patterson trotted to the sideline in frustration in the second quarter against Texas A&M. He’d just received a welcoming to the show that is SEC football after Larry Pryor had picked him off. The freshman had made his first mistake of his college career. It could have flustered him. He could have compounded it with another. But the other 70 guys on the sideline made sure that didn’t happen, particularly the Ole Miss defense. “The thing that sparked me was after I threw the interception. I’m not sure when that was, but the whole defense came up and talked to me and told me it was okay and that they were going to get the ball back,” Patterson said. “That’s what really changed my mindset. Man, these guys are behind me, and I have a great support staff.” That calmed Patterson for the rest of the game. It aided
