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

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.
