You might have a chance to rap battle Homecoming King and SAA Director Carl Tart on Wednesday night. As part of Homecoming Week, SAA has continued its partnership with the Black Student Union to hold Wild N’ Out, a rendition of the popular MTV Show that features celebrities cracking jokes and rap-battling each other. Tart will be the emcee for the evening. This year, Homecoming Week will be jointly hosted by the Student Activities Association, the Black Student Union and the Ole Miss Sigmas — the Eta Beta chapter of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity. Tart said that SAA is partnering with the BSU because, according to a BSU survey data, students of color did not feel that past homecoming week events appealed to black culture. Through the partnership, both the BSU and SAA’s programming for the week will complement each other. Tart said SAA emphasized not overprogramming events for homecoming week, an issue they have had in the past. “We want to make sure people have enough time to attend all events for all organizations as well as get their work done,” Tart said. The mechanical shark is making a return, as well as a lip sync battle in the Grove and the silent disco. During welcome week in August, Tart said SAA’s silent disco “broke records” with 992 students in attendance. The week commences on Sunday night with the Miss University Pageant.
The Institutions of Higher Learning Board of Trustees will meet this week to discuss candidates for the next chancellor of the University of Mississippi. The board will meet Wednesday and Thursday morning at the University of Mississippi Medical School in Jackson. The board selected 39 members for the UM Chancellor Search Advisory Committee, which held listening sessions throughout the state and reviewed all of the applications for chancellor. After the deadline to submit applications passed, each member of the search committee ranked their top eight candidates. Their selections were delivered to Buffkin Baker, a search firm contracted by the university to facilitate the process. According to two sources close to the process, the search committee’s rankings are only suggestions of preference. The Board of Trustees took the names of all who applied and selected 8-10 candidates to conduct preliminary interviews with before narrowing down to three candidates. If the board ultimately does not select one of the candidates who applied, they reserve the right to offer the position to someone who did not apply, such as an individual who currently holds an administrative office at another university. Robert Robbins, the current president at the University of Arizona, did not apply for the position according to a member of the search committee, though his name has been associated with the chancellor vacancy since Jeffrey Vitter stepped down in November of 2018. Robbins is a Laurel native and graduated from UMMC in 1983. A new chancellor is expected to be announced by January 2020.

Chess master defeats 10 players at once ANNABELLE HARRIS thedmnews@gmail.com
Saturday afternoon, 10 people filed into the Butler Auditorium in the Triplett Alumni Center to attempt the impossible: they each sought to defeat David Ross, an International Master of Chess, in a game of chess. While each player was attempting to defeat Ross, his goal was different. He was there to play all 10 players simultaneously. And, as expected, he defeated them all. At 1 p.m., each of Ross’s
opponents took their seat across from a chess board, all sitting in a row. Ross stood, moving up and down the row of 10 tables. Within 30 minutes, Ross had defeated one player and had three more in check. After two hours, Ross bested all 10 challengers. He said he doesn’t have a photographic memory to aid in his playing. “I wouldn’t say that I have a photographic memory exactly, more like pattern recognition,” Ross said. “You know that the pieces are supposed to go in certain squares, and then if somebody does something that doesn’t fit in to the best pattern,

then I have to slow down and calculate.” David Ross is undefeated in Mississippi and is considered the best player in the state. In 1998, he gained his status as an International Master after winning a special tournament in Canada. His grandfather taught him to play when he was six years old, but he didn’t enter his first tournament until he was 14. He is a two-time champion in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. Ross moved to Jackson from Montreal in 2006. Since then, he has been coaching students

The Rebels got their first conference win of the season in comeback fashion on Friday, knocking off Tennessee in a five-set thriller.
“We must be honest with ourselves: forgoing plastic straws and believing in human ingenuity are gratifying, but they will not be enough,” writes opinion columnist Ainsley Ash.

in both Alabama and Mississippi and has students that are ranked in the top 10 of chess players in the state of Mississippi. While simultaneously defeating 10 opponents is an admirable feat, it’s not the most players Ross has challenged. Previously, he played and defeated 18 challengers at once. Ross’s opponents were simply honored to have sat across the table from an International Master. Marvin King, the former faculty advisor for the chess club, said that even though playing Ross was intimidating, the skill of his opponent made it worth it. “It was nice to lose to somebody that good,” King said. “Normally I lose to average people, so it was a special thrill.” King added that it wasn’t the most difficult game he’s ever played because there was no pressure. He knew he would lose, so he was able to attempt unusual moves and play free. However, for Willie McCaleb, an Ole Miss freshman and computer science major, it was the most difficult game he had ever played. After Ross defeated him, McCaleb, he said “the whole experience was fun,” but added that competing against Ross made his head hurt.

Professor featured on Gerrymandering case initiated by student to be considered by 5th Circuit screen in ‘Satan and Adam’
g BOBBY HARRISON , MISSISSIPPI TODAY s d Early in the 2020 legislative t session, the full U.S. 5th Circuit y e Court of Appeals will consider whether a lower court erred in y ordering the redrawing of Missist sippi Senate District 22 to correct s racial gerrymandering. The - preliminary data from the case was collected by recent Ole Miss y graduate, John Chappell. As a sophomore in 2017, ChapI a pell was researching voting rights in Mississippi. In examining the e Mississippi legislative districts, he d noticed a discrepancy in the way e Senate District 22 was drawn. He e spent two days collecting data on y individual voting precincts and sent his research to the Missis- sippi Center for Justice. A few d weeks later, attorneys at the center e used Chappell’s research to draft a r federal lawsuit. Chappell said that he is not involved in the process anymore, e but he receives updates from g attorneys involved with the case. By the time the appeals court hears oral arguments during the week of Jan. 20, a new senator will have been elected on Nov. 5 and would have been sworn in for the 2020 session, which starts Jan. 7. The 5th Circuit announced Monday it would meet en banc (the entire court) to decide whether U.S. Judge Carlton Reeves of the Southern District of Mississippi ruled correctly in ordering the redrawing of the district. Previously, Reeves’ decision was upheld earlier this summer by a three judge panel of the 5th Circuit by a 2-1 decision. The entire 5th Circuit voted “on its own motion” to take up the case. Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann and Gov. Phil Bryant, who appealed Reeves’ decision, asked for more time to file a request asking for the full 5th Circuit to take up the case. In court filings, attorneys for Hosemann and Bryant said they were “exploring possible resolution of this appeal in lieu of seeking rehearing or rehearing en banc.” A majority of the 5th circuit voted not to wait for that “possible resolution” and to hear the case. Before that rehearing, voters in District 22 will go to the polls

Former Ole Miss student John Chappell has played a role in forcing the state of Mississippi to redraw voting districts. in November to decide between former Democratic state Sen. Joseph Thomas, who was one of the plaintiffs filing the lawsuit saying the way District 22 was drawn diluted black voter strength, and long-time Republican operative and lobbyist Hayes Dent. The 102-mile district, spanning parts of six counties, was drawn in the 2012 legislative session. The northern portion of the district included the predominantly African American Delta, but stretched all the way down to a heavily white portion of Madison County near Jackson. In redrawing the district during the 2019 session to adhere to Reeves’ decision, the Legislature added black voters in Sunflower County to District 22 and removed primarily white voting precincts in Bolivar County from the district and placed them in District 13. The
result, according to the people who filed the lawsuit, was that African Americans had chances to maintain a black senator in District 13 and add one in District 22. On social media, Bryant said, “Important decision ordering rehearing by the full 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Under our system of federalism, the Mississippi Legislature not a single federal judge has the constitutional authority to apportion districts.” Hosemann’s office had no comment other than that the November election would go forward under the new districts. Rob McDuff, one of the attorneys who filed the lawsuit, also had no comment other than to agree that the election would go on under the newly drawn districts. Presumably, the 5th Circuit could reverse Reeves’ decision and order new elections in 2020.

Adam Gussow is known to most students as an English and Southern Studies professor. He also is the subject of a blues documentary called “Satan and Adam,” following 23 years of blues music production. On Thursday night, “Adam and Satan” was screened in Barnard Observatory at 4 p.m. The conversation afterward was led by Director of the Southern Documentary Project, Andy Harper. The story started in the 80s in Harlem, where Sterling “Mr. Satan” Magee entertained the people of his community. Gussow walks through the streets and becomes enamored with the one-man band that was Mr. Satan. Gussow asks if he could join in, and the two become a pair. The film originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 12. Gussow was a student from Princeton and found his release in music, specifically the harmonica. Magee would play percussion and the guitar, and sing simultaneously. Magee grew up in Mount Olive, Mississippi, and played for musicians such as Ray Charles, Etta James and Marvin Gaye. After years in the music industry, Magee decided to play on the streets for the people. The racial differences between Magee and Gussow caused the duo to face adversity in Harlem. Through this, the two persevered through music and continued to play the blues with the support of the community. “Every time (I watch the documentary), I see something different. This time I really saw how beautifully it was edited,” Gussow said. Their music was recognized, and the documentary started filming nine years into Satan and Adam’s story, following them even through the later disappearance of

Magee to Florida because of a nervous breakdown. Despite the movie’s late start, local news sources and friends of the duo would take videos and pictures used within the film. The documentary touches on the unity of music and the race within the music industry. Having previously been part of the African American music scene, Magee was distrusting of the opportunities the pair received after growing in popularity. Regardless of the issues Gussow faced playing in Harlem with Magee, the two continued to play. After Magee disappeared, he arrived in Harlem and went to his usual spot on the street. A man referred to him as Mr. Satan, Magee became irritated and quickly left. Years later, the production team found Magee in Florida living with his family. He refused to even think of picking up his guitar after the interview, and it was not until a few years later that a worker at his nursing home motivated him to start playing again. “It’s been really interesting taking (the film) around, and there’s one common thread in the responses it gets, which is the number of people who say that it’s made them cry,” Gussow said. Gussow reconnected with Magee and returned for another album. Satan and Adam had been miraculously reborn and pleasantly revered by family, friends and fans. Gussow continues to teach at the University of Mississippi, and Magee now resides in Florida where he continues to play the blues as Mr. Satan. Gussow gives free harmonica lessons on YouTube. “What the film doesn’t get at, if you watch it closely, it might seem that I’m a one-man band by the end,” Gussow said. “I had a complete rebirth as a one-man band.” The film is currently available online, and music from Satan and Adam are available on streaming services.

Kermit Davis pays for buckets
Rebels upset Tennessee, extend win streak to nine
JOSHUA CLAYTON
JAKE DAVIS
Ole Miss students will have the opportunity to join the fight against cancer by making Kermit Davis open his checkbook. The Ole Miss head basketball coach has partnered with Coaches vs. Cancer and the American Cancer Society to create the Make Kermit Pay philanthropy event as a part of homecoming week festivities. Students are invited to The Pavilion on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 5-7 p.m. to shoot baskets with the Rebels. Each shot made during the two-hour period adds to Davis’ donation to the charity. Davis has pledged to donate a dollar for every student in attendance, $10 for every free throw and $500 for every successful half-court shot. “You get to come into The Pavilion and shoot balls with other students and with our players,” Davis said. “Not only are we raising money for cancer, we also get a good chance for the student body to connect with our players on the floor in The Pavilion, which I think is a win-win in many areas.” Davis has been a leader for the cause for the Association of Basketball Coaches, having worked with Coaches vs. Cancer throughout his career. Davis participated in the Coaches vs. Cancer Tennessee Tip-off Event while he was coaching MTSU and continues to take part in the Suits and Sneakers program every year. “Coaches throughout college basketball have done an unbelievable job with it,” Davis said. “So I think it’s just because we all are touched and just want to give back to the research to help people.” This particular cause is so important for the coach because he’s been directly affected by cancer. Both his parents, Kermit Sr. and Nancy, have battled cancer, and Davis said that his family’s experience has motivated him to keep giving. “I think it just hits us all real close to our heart,” Davis said. “I

I think we’re maybe the second one that’s doing it.” Davis said he got the idea from a similar event held by former Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan. “What I really wanted to do was do philanthropy with the student body,” Davis said. “If 19,000 students came up, I’d start with $19,000. I think it’s just a cool way for all of us to do it during homecoming week.” Students will be able to watch the end of an open practice in The Pavilion starting a 4 p.m. on Wednesday, before shooting begins at 5 p.m. “My wife might have to stop some of her shopping, but that may be a good thing too,” Davis said. “I hope the students make a bunch of shots and make me pay a lot of money.”

FOOTBALL
Freshmen production gives Rebels optimism JOSHUA CLAYTON
thedmsports@gmail.com
The Ole Miss football team’s matchup with the newly top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide turned into a blowout, as expected, but there’s no denying that there was something different about this loss. Every football coach in America will tell you over and over that there’s no such thing as a moral victory. A win is a win and a loss is a loss, but taking a look back at Saturday, Rebel fans can be as happy as one could possibly be about a 59-31 loss. The Rebels walked into Bryant-Denny Stadium with true freshman quarterback John Rhys Plumlee behind the steering wheel and led 10-7 after one quarter, giving the Tide their first deficit of the season. Of course that did not last long, as the Rebels were outscored 31-0 in the second quarter, virtually ending the game before halftime. “We came here to win. No excuses,” Luke said after the game. “The thing we’ve got to do is just build on some of the positives of some of the guys out there competing, some of the young guys making plays. There’s a lot of things that we need to get corrected.” The numbers on the scoreboard might have been discouraging for the Rebels in the moment, but it ultimately did little to mask the optimism stemming from the performance of the young core. Every Rebel touchdown on Saturday was scored by a true freshman. Plumlee led the Rebels in passing and rushing yards with 141 yards and two touchdowns through the air and 109 yards and a touchdown on the ground. “I was probably most impressed in talking to him after each series with what he was seeing,” offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez said. “His eyes were in the right spot. He knew what was going on. For first time starting that was pretty good. We just left a lot of plays out there.”
Jerrion Ealy and Snoop Conner combined for 130 yards rushing and Jonathan Mingo had 74 yards and a receiving touchdown. The Ole Miss coaching staff used the Alabama game to see what they had in the freshman class and had to like most of what they saw. Their performances were encouraging for the future, but unfortunately Matt Luke can’t time travel two years from now. “There are too many seniors in that room to say we’re just going to build,” Luke said. “We’ve got a fan base that wants to win so that’s what we’re going to go try to do. We’ll try to go put our guys in the best position to go win and these freshman will continue to get better.” The Rebel secondary’s struggles continued as Alabama receiver DeVonta Smith broke out with 274 yards and five touchdowns, most of that coming in the first half. Matt Corral’s injury status is still unclear. While it might be exciting to have a new life to the team even in defeat, the Rebels have some improving to do with a big matchup against Vanderbilt up next to start a month of SEC play.

Ole Miss edges Auburn with overtime golden goal from Foster XANDER NORRIS
thedmsports@gmail.com
The Ole Miss soccer team returned home from a tight Magnolia Cup matchup to pull off a thrilling 1-0 victory against Auburn on Sunday using a Channing Foster overtime goal to finish the game. On a hot Mississippi afternoon, the only goal scored between both teams was one of the few real scoring chances. Ole Miss outshot Auburn 12-9, but only five shots were on goal between the two sides. Ashley Orkus picked up her fifth shutout of the season and was excellent between the posts during the match. In the early minutes of the match, both sides had a few chances. The contest turned into a midfield game resulting in a scoreless tie at the half. The second half was more
of the same as both teams were scraping to break down the opposition’s defense and create space. The Rebels didn’t have much success until the final few minutes. In the 85th minute, Molly Martin gave Ole Miss its first significant chance, but couldn’t get the angle right and missed the goal. Ole Miss was forced to play extra minutes for the third straight game, but it was worth the wait. In the first overtime, Foster found the corner and scored the golden goal. The Rebels have made a home in the extra time this year and the matchup last Thursday was no exception. Ole Miss brought the Magnolia Cup back home to Oxford for the sixth straight season after last Thursday’s 1-1 draw against Mississippi State. The stats ended somewhat evenly Thursday night with both teams taking 13 total shots. Ole Miss had four shots on goal while

the Bulldogs only took two. Haleigh Stackpole scored the Rebels only goal in the 18th minute. Stackpole was left all alone in the middle of the box after a failed clearance by the MSU defense. The sophomore launched the ball into the right side of the goal giving Ole Miss the lead. Several minutes later MaKayla Waldner toe-poked the ball past Rebel keeper Ashley Orkus and tied the score going into halftime. Following halftime, Foster and Lonnie Mulligan created a few chances for the Rebels but came up short. The rivalry matchup extended into overtime as neither team was able to score before the clock hit zero. Following a relatively uneventful first overtime session, Mulligan took a blazing shot from the right side of the box in the 109th minute. Mulligan’s attempt was just inches away from giving the Rebs three points. Instead, Ole Miss was given a quality point on the road, earning them the right to bring the Magnolia Cup back to Oxford. The 7-2 Rebels head to Fayetteville Thursday night to face No.13 Arkansas.

OPINION We are a species worth saving AINSLEY ASH
thedmopinion@gmail.com
Nothing is quite as sobering as droves of elementary school-age children around the world skipping school to ask their governments for a viable chance to inherit a habitable Earth. From Sept. 20-27, over 7.6 million children, parents, grandparents, neighbors (re: humans) around the planet disrupted their daily lives to strike against government inaction regarding the ongoing climate crisis. Oxford was no exception. On Friday, nearly a hundred students, professors and children and parents gathered in the Circle, armed with colorful sidewalk chalk and witty cardboard signs in 90 degree September weather. “We have less than twelve years
to protect our homes and our children from danger that will be irreversible,” said Heather Toney, local leader of Moms Clean Air Force. “This means more floods, more damage that we cannot change… I don’t know about you, but I actually like the Earth. I’m not ready to move to Mars.” Every week, I sit in a dystopian literature class and become more and more convinced that we are, in fact, living in an environmental dystopia, a world in which colonizing Mars is not off the table. Whenever I get a news notification to my phone, I feel a slight drop in my stomach. It is as if, unwittingly, I have subscribed to a flavor of the week club for the newest condemning piece of evidence. “North American bird population has dropped by 3 billion since 1970, study reveals,” states Fox
News. “Air pollution particles found on foetal side of placentas – study,” says the Guardian. “As Amazon Smolders, Indonesia Fires Choke the Other Side of the World,” reads the New York Times. Sometimes, though, the notifications do not elicit a slight drop in my stomach – I have come to expect them. As weather events become more prevalent and extreme in nature, climate norms are continually redefined. If the intentional deforestation of the Amazon, our Earth’s lungs, did not move the needle toward global political action and consensus, then what will? You do not have to look as far as Brazil to be concerned, though. Instead, look to the flooding in the Mississippi Delta, threatening our most vulnerable neighbors, our crops and our economy.
So what, then, do we do when today’s children ask for a chance to survive into their 20s and I ask for my fair share of 80 years? Will we deny culpability and say we didn’t realize we were like frogs in water once cool and inviting but now brought to a boil? We have cast our pearls before swine, forsaking the quality of life of current and future generations in exchange for the complacency and conveniences of today’s social, political and economic structures. If we believe that there is anything unique and beautiful about the human experience worth saving for future generations, then now is the time to act, in the hopes of mitigating the crisis human activity has already set in motion. We must be honest with ourselves: forgoing plastic straws and believing in human ingenuity
are gratifying, but they will not be enough. Action will require sacrifice like never before seen: the reframing of an unending global economic growth model, the uprooting of current agricultural and industrial practices and the rejection of modern conveniences. With a crisis so immense, it is daunting to know where to begin. Yet, individual actions must compound in collective social and political will, holding ourselves and our government accountable on behalf of our species. Hundreds and hundreds of years from now, Earth will still exist, regardless of human action or inaction. Will we?

ICE raids help solve immigration problem LAUREN MOSES

On Aug. 7, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested over 600 undocumented workers in Mississippi. The events surrounding the arrests and companies’ responses point to a greater immigration issue in Mississippi and, ultimately, the United States. Many news outlets have reported in outrage that the raids separated children from parents. The mayor of Jackson categorized the separating of families as “a gross display of humanity.” However, the ICE raids were a necessary process for the federal government to enforce its laws. Further, the raids showed that the federal government is failing to do its job in protecting our country’s borders. Both those living here illegally and their employers were found to have violated state
and federal laws. The New York Times reported that Peco Foods plant had hired the same worker on two separate occasions who applied with a different name each time. Clearly the new hire was engaging in fraudulent activities but the employer refused to stop it. P H Food Inc. and A & B Inc. also employed workers knowing they were immigrants living in the country illegally. In Mississippi, employers are required to use E-Verify, a database that verifies employee documentation. But affidavits released for this case show that some of the companies have not been using the system to check employee documents. Human resources employees have neglected to follow state and federal law in conducting their hiring processes. But the employees are to blame, too. One Guatemalan woman who had been employed by Peco Foods admitted that she
bought a fake Tennessee ID card and other documents in order to be hired by the company. A group of employees in Pearl River Foods in Carthage were found to be using stolen IDs and Social Security numbers to gain employment. These loopholes for companies and individuals do not help the federal government enforce immigration laws. In fact, it keeps immigrants living in the country legally and U.S. citizens from receiving jobs they are qualified to obtain. While some may argue that the E-Verify system should be further enforced on employers to keep undocumented immigrants from obtaining jobs, the system is unreliable. Only 43% of companies in Mississippi use E-Verify, even when it is required by the state to use the system. And when companies do use it, there is no safeguard to verify stolen identification documents.

the case of the August raids that current state laws do not protect this state from illegal immigration. The federal government has mandated laws but done little to enforce them. Mississippians should call on local and state officials to fix the immigration crisis in the state, enforcing current laws and working with employers to keep undocumented immigrants from illegally working.

The weight of enforcing immigration laws should not lay with the employer, especially when the tools used to enforce immigration laws are ineffective. ICE raids help to reverse illegal immigration. But when 610,000 apprehensions of immigrants entering and living in the country illegally have already occurred at the southern border, the U.S. needs a more secure system to stop illegal immigration before it happens. Illegal immigration is not a sustainable plan for Mississippi or the United States. It is clear in
