Initiative 42 and Oxford schools BLAKE ALSUP

Fully funding the public education for Mississippi is just as important in Oxford as it is state-wide, Oxford School District Superintendent Brian Harvey said.

“More funds that come from the state level mean that we don’t have to go to the local tax base to make up the difference,” Harvey said.

According to the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, Oxford schools were underfunded by $10.34 million from 2009 to 2015, with $5.84 mil-

lion of that occurring between 2013 and 2015 alone.

Initiative 42, which would have amended a section of the Mississippi Constitution and given Mississippi Chancery Courts the power to ensure that schools are being properly supported.

Mississippi decided that it would not vote Initiative 42 or 42a into law on Nov. 3.

Many have raised questions concerning whether confusing language on the ballot could have caused the failure of the amendment.

This year’s ballot gave voters the option to vote “yes”

or “no” for a constitutional amendment that included Initiative 42 or 42a. Regardless of which answer the voter gave, he or she was then asked to vote on which initiative he or she would like; so, the voter could vote for Initiative 42, 42a or neither.

Mississippi legislature proposed Initiative 42a. It requires the state legislature to establish, maintain and support “an effective system of free schools upon such conditions and limitations as the Legislature may prescribe.”

In the wake of Friday’s terrorist attacks on Paris, members of the Ole Miss community gathered around the American flag in the Circle this Wednesday, joined hands and prayed silently for the victims and the families in mourning.

Three teams of Islamic State terrorists killed more than 125 people in coordinated attacks throughout Paris Friday night, according to French officials.

“This wasn’t just an attack on the people of France. It was an attack on everything democratic, the ideals that we stand for and that France stands for,” Associate Student Body President Rod Bridges said. “We were attacked. It’s not even really a political issue. It goes deeper than that. It’s a human issue.”

Bridges said it was important for students to meditate, pray or think seriously about the attacks in Paris during the ASB-sponsored vigil.

“I wouldn’t expect anything less,” Bridges said. “This is exactly, I think, what we as a University stand for, that we can come together, no matter our differences.”

ASB senator Andrew Soper organized the event in an attempt to show solidarity and a united front against the violence in Paris.

“I just wanted the world,

the United States, and Paris to know universities like Ole Miss are with the victims over there,” Soper said.

Isaac Jenkins, youth leader and director of Ole Miss Cru, led approximately 40 students and faculty members at the vigil in prayers for America, peace and the failure of ISIS. Cru, formerly known as Campus Crusades for Christ International, is a worldwide interdenominational Christian ministry.

“We pray for a full recovery,” Jenkins said.

Cru will host a service at 3 p.m. Thursday at Paris-Yates Chapel where Cru chapters from six other Southern schools will pray together via Skype for Paris and world leaders.

Office of International Programs Director Ge-Yao Liu said it was the university’s responsibility to show support and compassion for not only those affected in France, but international students in Oxford.

“As an international student office, it is our job not only to take care of the students, but care about their well being.”

Liu said the attacks also raise the security issue of protecting UM students abroad.

“Here’s the thing. What terrorists did, like it or not, the impact is there,” Liu said. “It creates a subconscious fear.

We have students every year study in France and different parts of the world.”

Holiday Park-N-Ride Schedule Nov. 21 through Nov. 29, the Park-N-Ride bus lines servicing the JAC, South Lot and Residential PNR lots will not run. City routes will still operate but may run on a reduced schedule.

Paris was burning with death in the air, and I sometimes stop and wonder if those who caused such devastation were aware of the lives they’ve stolen for an ideology they’ve baked and burnt their souls in.

There are no words good enough to honor the lives taken for terror.

We must mourn for France, as they are our oldest ally. The attacks there signal the possibility of larger and more frequent attacks on the West.

ugees sent home, despite the fact that from October 2014-August 2015 Mississippi took in all of 10 refugees. Politicians are grand-standing, because politicizing tragedy is effective—I can’t even fairly criticize them for that when I do it myself.

Others are proclaiming that Muslims aren’t terrorists.

Evil terrorist Muslims are still Muslims. We don’t get to dismiss their faith because it doesn’t fit out narrative.

The hashtag #MuslimsAreNotTerrorists is correct; most aren’t. But the bombers and gunmen most certainly are. ISIS (or ISIL or Daesh) is an attempt at a Muslim caliphate. The liberal blogosphere often wants to say they’re simply heretical and not truly Muslim, but that’s just inaccurate. Their version of Islam is old and well-though out, even if we (and most Muslims) find it morally repugnant.

If they aren’t talking about Muslims not being terrorists they’re patting themselves on the back because they’re also talking about the Beirut bombings.

I’m one of those liberal people who likes to pretend I’m on the up and up with world issues and that I care about things that culturally ignorant people are not, but I am guilty of this as well.

Let’s get one thing clear: if the attacks on Paris hadn’t happened, we would not be talking about Beirut. Most of us who are now talking about Beirut and expressing our pain at their struggle would have never known if Paris hadn’t been attacked.

What is a terrible, ghastly attack in a Western country is just a fact of daily or weekly life in the Middle East and parts of Africa.

I cannot say that all people do not care, but many liberals hit the like button and the share button and think we’re doing something grand and important. Other people don’t even acknowledge that it’s happening, which I can’t tell if it’s worst (although it’s unquestionably more honest).

Should the information about Beirut be shared? Yes. People should hear it and learn about the deaths. But what about the other 6500 civilians killed by ISIS? Can

any of us name specific events?

I can’t. I like to pretend I’m on the up and up, but I’m not. Most people aren’t.

Tragedy hits and attention is drawn to other tragedies to point out a hypocrisy that we ourselves take part in.

People are dead in Paris. People are dead in Beirut. People are being killed for ideologies and to send a message.

And it’s working. It’s working to radicalize large number of youth who then migrate to Syria.

It’s getting media ire and government words but no actions.

Even this pacifist wonders if war is inevitable, and, if so, how does anyone come out the victor when the price is blood? ISIS has been being bombed for months, but, historically, bombing does nothing. London kept fighting, Japan kept fighting. Germany kept fighting.

Remember Paris. Remember Beirut.

news INITIATIVE 42

Results for both Initiative 42 and Initiative 42a

continued from page 1

If Initiative 42a had become law, the judiciary system would have lost its power to enforce “an adequate and efficient system of free public schools” as was stated in Initiative 42.

In the first section, 52 percent of voters selected “no” for either measure, and 48 percent of voters chose “yes” for either measure.

As a result, neither initiative was added to the state constitution.

In the second section, where voters were asked to select his or her preferred initiative, 59 percent of voters chose Initiative 42, and 41 percent of voters chose Initiative 42a.

Initiative 42 would have passed if a majority of voters had voted “yes” in the first section of the ballot.

The second section totaled 534,966 votes to pass an initiative — 185,289 more votes than those who chose “no” in section one. Approximately 709,432 people voted in the election.

According to the Mississippi Constitution, an initiative or legislative alternative must receive a majority vote in order to pass.

This majority must include over 40 percent of votes. Because the majority of voters voted against either initiative in the first section, despite the 59 percent vote for Initiative 42 in section two, neither initiative was passed.

If Initiative 42 had passed, it would have constitutionally held the Mississippi legislature accountable for providing adequate funds for Mississippi schools in accordance with the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, which was passed in 1997 by the Mississippi legislature to address low student achievement and inequity among school districts.

“Money is not the simple answer to everything, but increased funding surely can help,” said David Rock, dean of the school of education at Ole Miss.

“Adequate funding for our public schools is a great start to providing the resources that our children and teachers need to succeed.”

According to MAEP, Mississippi public schools are underfunded when compared to the amount of money that should be allocated to them.

The Parents’ Campaign Research and Development Fund website says the MAEP formula produces a base student cost — the amount that is required to provide each student an adequate education in a Mississippi school. Each district is required to provide up to 27 percent of the base student cost through a local contribution made up of local ad valorem taxes.

The state funds the dif-

ference between what a local community is able to provide (up to a maximum of 27 percent) and the total base student cost.

That amount is multiplied by the school district’s average daily attendance to get the district’s MAEP allocation.

“Based on the vote for 42 and 42a, it is apparent that a large number of voters support full-funding for MAEP,” Rock said. “I believe the results show that people are interested in improving education in our state and putting money behind it. I think the real question is, ‘do we want to improve the opportunities for our children?’ Of course we do.

“We want equal access and quality education for every single child, which is going to require increased funding for education in our state.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fate of Paris attacks mastermind unclear after bloody raid SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — The hunt for the mastermind of last week’s attacks took a bloody turn Wednesday to a Paris suburb where a fierce gunbattle with police left at least two people dead and eight arrested. The fate of the alleged ringleader was unclear, with authorities saying he was not taken alive and they were trying to determine if he died in the raid.

Police launched the operation after receiving information from tapped phone calls, surveillance and tipoffs suggesting that 27-year-old Abdelhamid Abaaoud was holed up in an apartment in Paris’ Saint-Denis neighborhood.

Terrified residents awoke to gunfire and explosions as a SWAT team swooped in and “neutralized” what Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins called a “new team of terrorists” that appeared ready for a new attack.

Molins said the identities of the dead were still being investi-

27688

gated, but that neither Abaaoud nor another fugitive, Salah Abdeslam, was in custody.

“At this time, I’m not in a position to give a precise and definitive number for the people who died, nor their identities, but there are at least two dead people,” Molins said.

The site of Wednesday’s raid is not far from the Stade de France soccer stadium; three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the stadium during an international soccer game as part of the attacks last Friday that left 129 people dead and hundreds wounded.

Molins said police units including snipers threw grenades and fired 5,000 rounds in an hourlong gunbattle that began before dawn on Wednesday. The dead included a woman who was believed to have blown herself up with a suicide belt, though Molins said “this point needs to be verified by an analysis of the body and human remains.”

She said she could hear gun“We tried to stop our children fire on and off for over an hour, hearing the noise,” said Far- followed by “one really huge

27708

boom.”

The head of one of the special forces units that took part in the raid, Jean-Michel Fauverge, said police used drones and robots equipped with cameras in an attempt to see what was going on inside during the raid but there was too much debris.

When they entered the building they found a body that had fallen from the third floor to the second, he told the French newspaper Le Figaro.

“The corpse was mutilated, probably from grenades and he wasn’t recognizable,” Fauverge said. “Other people were in the stairwell, two men hiding under blankets and whatever they could find. We arrested them.”

Molins said five men were taken into custody in the apartment building, including two who were pulled from the rubble. A woman and two other men, including the man whose apartment was used as the cell’s hideout, were arrested on a nearby street.

Authorities didn’t release their identities; Molins would only say that Abaaoud and Abdeslam were not among them.

Investigators have identified Abaaoud, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, as the chief architect of the attacks Friday against the soccer stadium, a crowded concert hall and popular night spots in a trendy Paris neighborhood.

A U.S. official briefed on intelligence matters said Abaaoud was a key figure in an Islamic State external operations cell that U.S. intelligence agencies have been tracking for months.

Abaaoud is believed to have escaped to Syria after a January police raid in Belgium, but he has bragged in Islamic State propaganda of his ability to move back and forth between Europe and Syria undetected.

Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens also said he could not confirm whether Abaaoud was among those killed in the raid.

Texas-based Randy Rogers Band at the Lyric tonight AUSTIN HILLE

ahille1234@gmail.com

The Lyric Oxford will host Randy Rogers Band and Wade Owen for one of their many stops on the Till the Wheels Fall Off Tour, a show celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Although 10 years is a long time for any two bands to work together, Rogers said the pairing feels natural. They have been friends for 15 years to date.

“There are a lot of friendships that have been built between the two bands,” Rogers said.

“It’s easy. It’s friendship. It’s camaraderie. Everybody gets on the stage at the same time, and it’s kind of just one big moving party.”

The beginning of this friendship also marked the beginning of the Randy Rogers Band’s career.

It all started at a bar in the band’s hometown of San Marcos, Texas, where Rogers would perform regularly at the open mic night every Wednesday.

After years of dedication to this event, the bar’s owner decided that his talent was something that shouldn’t go unrecognized.

“The owner told me that I

could have Tuesday nights (to perform) if I started a band,” said Rogers. “The rest is history. Everybody was kind of in different bands at the time, but we just all came together and decided to be partners.”

On Oct. 3, 2000, the band played its first gig. Since then, the group has only gone towards bigger and better things, being featured in publications such as USA Today and Rolling Stone and opening for big names like Dierks Bentley and Gary Allen.

This acclaim has not come without hard work, however.

Since its inception, the band has released eight full-length albums and plays more than 200 shows a year, creating a lifestyle that the band thrives on.

“It’s a way of life,” Rogers said.

“It’s how we pay the bills, you know. It’s our livelihood. The road is really the only thing we know at this point. We are very thankful to have jobs and very thankful when people come to to see us. That’s for sure.”

The band pulls influence from

some of country music’s greats, including Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. They focus on what they consider to be true, Texas country – not the watered down Nashville country that rules the radio these days.

For Rogers, the band’s set demonstrates this straightforward, unadulterated attitude towards music, sparing the bells and whistles seen at other country music shows.

“There’s no stops, no smoke and mirrors. Just good music played pretty honestly,” Rogers

said. “If you’ve heard the albums, the same band that plays in the albums is the band that we travel with, so hopefully we sound exactly the same.”

The band is currently working on their newest album, “Nothing Shines Like Neon,” which is set for release on Jan. 15.

To Rogers, this album further pushes the band towards their roots of a traditional country sound, focusing on paying tribute to the artists who came before them and paved the way for country music to become what it is today.

“It think this record kind of leans towards maybe some of the music my parents were into, just a little more traditional,” Rogers said.

“We are kind of at a spot in our career where the music I like to listen to isn’t necessarily on the radio nowadays. (We are) just trying to make a record that kind of gives a nod to the people who came before us.”

The band has begun to start playing a few select songs from the new project live on their current tour. Randy Rogers Band will play tonight at 8 p.m.

Ticket prices range from $21 to $25.

Woodrow Hamilton readies the defensive tool box BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE

bsrippee@go.olemiss.edu

Before every pre-game warm up session, Woodrow Hamilton, Ole Miss defensive tackle, takes the field with a tool box in his hand.

That small box symbolizes the mentality the defense will take to the field that day.

“Every weekend we tell each other ‘Okay, what’s in your tool box?’ to challenge each other,” Hamilton said. “I take it out because I try to be the most physical.”

In the Rebels’ last outing against Arkansas, that tool box appeared to be empty. The Ole Miss defense gave up over 600 yards of offense, including 163 on the ground in which Arkansas running back Alex Collins averaged over six yards per-rush.The Landshark defense will need to quickly replenish that tool box this week if they hope to stop Leonard Fournette and the LSU rushing attack.

“He’s going to make some people miss. That’s what he does,”

Fournette may be the best running back in college football, and aside from an uncharacteristic performance at Alabama, he’s appeared to be the favorite to win the Heisman trophy for most of the season.

“He jukes people. He gets around people. He runs through people,” Hamilton said. “He’s a great back.”

In last year’s match-up, the offensive game plan for LSU was simple: run the ball downhill, and do it often. The Tigers ran for 264 yards against Ole Miss and had three backs that averaged five yards per-rush.

“I expect exactly that,” Hamilton said. “Every team that LSU plays, they must show everybody what the run game is like. They try to establish the run game, and it’s up to us to stop it.”

Hamilton said he knows what it’s like to play in this rivalry and knows it is going to be an extremely physical contest.

going to be a war,” Hamilton said.

“They ought to know that it’s going to be a dog fight.”

Ole Miss hopes to take a full tool box to that fight. After the way the Arkansas game ended, this team’s future is no longer in their control.

Winning the next two games is in their control, and according to Hamilton, that’s exactly what they intend to do.

“Let’s not focus on the ‘what ifs’ and focus on what we can control.

We can control this game,” Hamilton said. “We have the opportunity now to beat LSU. We have the opportunity to go next week and beat State and then we can see where we are.”

Ole Miss needs two wins and Auburn to beat Alabama to make it to the SEC Championship game, but without two wins, all of that talk is meaningless. “‘What ifs’ don’t get you nowhere,” Hamilton said. “Let’s focus on what is the main goal for this week.”

That goal is a Rebel victory over LSU.

Rebel injuries grow; Denzel Nkemdiche’s status questionable CODY THOMASON

thedmsports@gmail.com

Like every college football team, Ole Miss has had its share of injury struggles throughout the season, with players like Isaac Gross, Robert Conyers and Herbert Moore all suffering season-ending injuries.

Head Coach Hugh Freeze said he is hoping for the team to be as healthy as possible for Saturday’s matchup against LSU. One of the questionable players is junior husky Tony Connor, who played his first game since week 3 last week while battling a knee injury.

“We held him out today, just trying our best to have him in the best possible situation for Saturday, and the game will dictate how he’s performing, how he’s feeling. We won’t try him again until then,” Freeze said.

“It’s really unknown; anything I would say today would be a total guess.”

Joining Connor as questionable is junior defensive end Fadol Brown. Brown is one of the larger players on and would be sorely missed in the Rebels attempt to stop LSU’s running FILE PHOTO Denzel Nkemdiche, pictured here trying for an interception, may not return to the field Saturday. back Leonard Fournette if he can’t play. surgery on it, to put a pin in it, status) just depends on how he “He’s got a fracture in his foot, decision also,” Freeze said.

injury.

“He’s dealing with a personal matter that he and his family are kind of going through.

We’re going to walk through it with him,” Freeze said. “It’s kind of day by day on that, so I don’t know that I have the answer exactly on that also.”

“When issues come up that you need to get through that involve one of our players and anything with their family you just want to support them and help them through it,” Freeze said.

Freeze broke down the Rebels backup plan if Nkemdiche cannot play on Saturday, and who would play at outside linebacker in his place. “(Demarquis) Gates has been playing the majority of those snaps, Tayler Polk and Ray Ray Smith and Temario (Strong) will be the other options should we need to go in that direction,” Freeze said.

Gates has registered 48 tackles, two of which were for a loss, and three pass deflections on the season.

“He’s played solid,” Freeze said. “He’s still young and makes some mistakes, and the number of snaps he’s gotten which have continued to increase from week to week so I think he’s ready for this challenge. It’s a different type of challenge for him but we’ve worked really hard on getting him in the right spot.”
