OXFORD AWAITS NEW HOTEL OPENINGS BY LANCE INGRAM News Editor
The Oxford Planning Commission approved three new hotels, including a Hampton Inn East Conference Center during a meeting Monday. The hotels are planned to begin construction within the year. The Hampton Inn East Conference Center will be built next to the Oxford Conference Center. Construction for the hotel is expected to begin within the next 30 days, and hotel officials hope to open within one year of starting construction according to Chan Patel, director of operations for the hotel. Two boutique hotels were
also approved at the Monday night meeting. One hotel will be located on Jefferson Avenue, and the other on University Avenue, Katrina Hourin, Oxford city planner, said. The boutique on Jefferson Avenue does not have a formal name yet, but should begin construction within the next six months, said Stefano Capomazza, owner of the project. He estimated the cost of the project to range between $6 million and $9 million. “We’re still in the planning stages, and we don’t have anything formal because we have to get all of our approvals before we put a bunch of formalities together,” Capomazza said.

Only a few water lines may rupture in Oxford city limits during a year, but they are not uncommon. The city currently has a plan in place to replace some of the older and thinner pipes around the city. The current water line plan, found on the City’s website, states the City will do work needed for health and safety reasons, including the placing of fire hydrants in new housing areas. However, any service lines off the main ones that currently serve the City are to be owned, maintained by and extended at the expense of the individual property owners to rightsof-way or easements owned by the City of Oxford, Bart Robinson, engineer for the city of Oxford, said. Robinson said that the funds aren’t available to completely replace the piping, even in the Square area. This is because large breaks are uncommon. “You’re talking about a huge project that there’s never really a good time to do,” Robinson said. “But sometime in the future it will have to be done.” Even so, the City is constantly monitoring the pipes.
“If we started having a break every six months on it, then we’d be ready to replace it,” Robinson said. “But if we only have one on it every couple of years, it’s not feasible for us to do that much work on it.” The ruptured water line Saturday afternoon is just one of many that occur every few years. The City is waiting for the ground to dry and dirt to settle before repaving the street, which is currently covered in gravel and dirt. Robinson said the labor and materials for replacing the pipe as well as repaving the road will cost between $15,000 and $20,000 for the 15 feet of work. However, if the city was to replace all the pipes, the price for the same amount of work would go down, because the number of workers and the amount of time they spent on the project would be controlled. Between 12 and 15 feet of pipe had to be replaced on South Lamar beside Square Books, according to Robinson. The sudden breakage was partially due to age and ground shift. The shift of the ground against the brittle pipe would cause it to either crack or break. See WATER, PAGE 4
The North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic will offer a musician’s workshop Thursday, June 24. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the day before the North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic. The purpose of the workshop is to develop participants’ musical skills, as well as broaden their knowledge of roots music. The workshop will feature individualized instruction from some of blues music’s master performers, including Kenny Brown, Alvin Youngblood Hart, DuWayne Burnside and Gary Burnside. Pre-registration for the workshop is required before June 18 and can be completed on the Picnic’s website at www.nmshillcountrypicnic.com, along with complete information regarding the festival and workshop. The two-day festival takes place on an 1,100-acre site in the hills of Potts Camp, and runs from noon until after midnight both days. The music festival was inspired by Potts Camp resident and acclaimed bluesman Kenny Brown, who has witnessed firsthand the worldwide appeal and influence of Hill Country Blues through his long tenure with R.L. Burnside and his travels with his own band. “I got to thinking about how much the music from this area has influenced so many, and although there are a lot of festivals around, no one was focusing on real Hill Country Blues,” Brown said in a press release. “Everyone I mentioned it to thought it should be done. So this will be our fifth year; we’ve got a great lineup, and we hope people will come out to enjoy the music, food, camping and workshop.” The fifth annual North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic will take place June 25-26, 2010, off of Highway 349 in Potts Camp. This year’s lineup features The North Mississippi Allstars, Kenny Brown, DuWayne Burnside, Jimbo Mathis and many more. No prior experience is required for participation in the workshop. There is a $100 fee for the workshop, which is open to anyone interested. Rebel Taxi will provide a shuttle from Oxford to the Picnic the Friday and Saturday of the festival. To reserve a spot on the shuttle, call 832-7433.

During college basketball’s March Madness, President Obama was in the media seemingly every other day either filling out brackets or commenting on the tournament. Let’s thank the higher powers that his outlook on soccer is apparently far more apathetic. Either that, or Joe Biden has brought to his attention that the President can stay busy without taking on a second job as an ESPN analyst. Some might argue that sports and politics go hand in hand. The World Cup provides amiable competition where different leaders around the world can collaborate on a platform of sport as opposed to the constant, intensive issues of war, economics and differing government policies. But World Cup matches don’t always bring countries together: just ask the former French center midfielder, Zinedine Zidane. However, Obama has plenty to deal with on an international scale, such as having a stern talking-to with BP. Or maybe he could skip all of the football matches (the ones where you kick a
ball with your foot, not the sport we inaccurately named) that span from 6 a.m. to mid-afternoon every day, get on his knees and beg the American elite to stop hoarding their money. Instead, they could start spending it on all of the awesome stuff they dreamed of buying while they were slaving away in law school, or medical school, or brown-nosing their way into Capitol Hill. The follies of American society go on, but I’ll get back to the point. I will admit, it is reassuring at times to see a man in the White House as opposed to a distant figurehead who reads a conveniently placed teleprompter, creating the illusion that he is staring into the homes of viewers. Obama portrays himself simply as a man and not as some self-entitled heir to the White House, but a common man who accomplished the American Dream by working hard to reach out and grab what he wanted, despite all odds. A man who spends hours either writing his own speeches or altering those of his speechwriters to better convey his own ideals. A man who likes sports. A man with whom

we can relate when he invites two men into his backyard to settle their differences diplomatically over a beer. And we can relate to a man who knew when to speak professionally with British Prime Minister David Cameron last week about a range of important issues including Iranian policy and the oil spill on the Gulf Coast but then had the lightheartedness to wager the best American beer against England’s best lager on an American win over England. Let’s just hope this trend of beer drinking isn’t an uncovered harbinger of our President’s detrimental spiral into alcoholism. All booze aside, I think we should view Obama’s placement of World Cup chitchat aside with hopeful eyes. Eyes that hope to see this man whom we elected sacrifice sports, and beer, and the vices so many of us use to escape from the blunders of mankind. Let’s hope that Obama can face these issues head on, as soon as possible, before March rolls back around and once again he too is consumed with how his bracket will play out in the office pool.

I’ve recently found myself with a new addiction. I have an obsessive, although I prefer the term “perfectionist,” personality, so it’s not a new feeling. But my new addiction is eBay. Honestly, if you haven’t already caved into this flashy auction site, then steer clear. As far as I can tell, eBay gets you with one of two “hooks,” either buying or selling. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if they added in “bartering” just for kicks. I was initially grabbed by the buying aspect of eBay, and though I never went wild with my debit card, I soon realized that this relationship just couldn’t last. I quickly switched over to selling. Now, in all of my experience with eBay, I think that selling is actually more destructive than buying. Sure, you make money instead of lose it, but the time I’ve lost checking my “active selling list” does not compare to having a cute new dress show up on your doorstep a week later. I compulsively check eBay to see if anyone has bid on my items and get completely dismayed when the red numbers haven’t switched to green. I get way too
excited about positive feedback. I get furious when someone stops watching one of my items. It’s unbearable. Nonetheless, I have no intention of stopping. Maybe it’s the stubborn streak in me, or maybe I’m more obsessive compulsive than I thought, but I will not let eBay get the best of me. I shall conquer it. And by conquer, I mean sell all of my crappy stuff at affordable prices while overcharging for shipping. It’s the eBay way. All of this is to say that anything can be addictive, not just alcohol and nicotine. Facebook is probably one the most addictive websites for college students. Don’t we all have it set as our homepage? I’m not saying it is bad. I’m just saying sometimes we need to practice self-moderation. I’m bad at it. Most people are. I learned the other day that if we give up our addiction slightly, or show it a little less attention, then we can accomplish a lot more with our lives. I gave up about thirty minutes of eBay-ing and managed to plan a trip to Orlando for the weekend.
LIFE AFTER COLLEGE UWIRE
BY BEN LIU
Daily Toreador, Texas Tech via UWIRE
A college degree is priceless — especially if you are from California and have that degree signed by the “Governator.” However, today’s economy makes that piece of paper seem almost worthless. But I do have the Terminator’s autograph! Perhaps I should sell it on eBay. Like many of my fellow graduates, I was another victim of that economy. Day by day and week by week, it only seemed to get worse. Hundreds of applications remained unanswered. For a while, I felt my bachelor’s degree was nothing more than a mere, worthless piece of paper. But I was wrong — that piece of paper opened up doors and opportunities. It gave me the tools I needed to be successful. So before you start feeling depressed about school and the future, remember why you came to college in the first place. And for those with parties on their noggins, think again. College is not a meat market. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about the REAL purpose of college. So keep your heads in those books and study. The hard work will pay off. Knowledge is a valuable tool that can shape lives and keep you out of your parents’ basement. It certainly worked for me. As I said, education opened up doors and opportunities, even
in this depressing economy. My degree in journalism taught me how to refine my communication skills and to network. It presented me with career opportunities and experiences I would have never thought were possible. It changed my outlook on life. Without those communication and networking skills, I never would have worked in a political office or served as an appointed park and recreation commissioner. The gloomy economy re-
minded me just how valuable my degree is. And with the Terminator’s autograph, it is priceless. But I still needed to make myself more marketable. But how? That’s when I remembered those famous words “I’ll be back” and went back to school — this time to learn how to teach.

Sure, I’ll have some extra spending money because a random man in Oklahoma bought a rare coin that I just happened to be selling, but I wouldn’t have found the cheap hotel room if I hadn’t gotten off that auction site for a few moments. Basically when we log into the Internet, our minds tend to get latched on to one idea, one game, one website, and we become hooked. Everyone does it, but the amount of time that college students sit in a warped virtual reality is staggering. I don’t need statistics to prove it to me either, because I’m the one doing it. My friends do it. You do it. Just walk into the library. If someone isn’t on Facebook or Twitter, they mostly likely have a tab open to it somewhere on their home screen. It’s just that inevitable. So next time you choose to log into Facebook, or eBay or StumbleUpon, make sure you are leaving time to live your life. Unless, of course, you are interested in rare coins, then head on over to eBay, look me up and don’t stop buying.

“It was split on the bottom of the pipe and more than likely was caused by decay of the pipe,” Robinson said. “It probably just started with a pit or small hole and made the pipe split about a four foot split in the bottom.” Robinson said the shift probably was a small factor compared to the age and material of the pipe. Flooding and mud in the street, along with the need to block off the road for repairs caused traffic problems, as well as forcing pedestrians to go around.
The breakage also caused low water pressure throughout the downtown area. Restaurants on the Square, including Ajax and City Grocery were forced to close for the night. Others dealt with the situation by slowing down their ability to wait on customers. “It just had to be right at six to nine, when restaurants would be busy,” Robinson said. The broken pipe was replaced by ductile iron pipe, which is what the City uses for both water and sewer lines.

Students in Buenos Aires, Argentina spend, on average, nearly a fourth of their annual income on tuition. A desire for a good education and a respect for customs, family and national pride outweigh the negative aspects of severe inflation and low average income on many university students in Argentina. Three students majoring in psychology at the Universidad del Salvador in the Recoleta barrio in Buenos Aires (www.salvador.edu. ar), Paula Kolosuarg, 30, Karina Pizarro, 31, and Martina Harubout, 18, said that their decisions to go to college were based on a multitude of things including opinions of family members and family income. But when it came down to it, Hartubout, a Buenos Aires resident, or porteña, said the reason she is there is because she liked staying close to home. “We prefer to stay in Buenos Aires; our family and friends are here,” the first-year student said. Although annual tuition of 7,200 Argentine pesos (about USD $1,800) may sound like a bargain to many Americans, the cost of higher education is steep for the average Argentine. According to the U.S. Embassy
in Argentina, the average annual income for Argentine residents in 2008 was USD $8,219. Therefore, the cost of tuition alone at the Universidad del Salvador is about 22 percent of an average citizen’s yearly income. Besides the cost, another influential factor in the students’ decision whether to pursue a college degree was their personal feelings and desire for an education. As in the U.S., they had the liberty to choose to continue their studies at a college, or begin their careers. But a college education in Argentina is not as imperative to success in the workplace as it is in the United States. Job availability without a degree is not a major issue and income is not as highly affected by education levels as in the U.S. Even though a college degree isn’t required, Argentines do value education and boast a literacy rate of 95 percent. The country has over 20 national universities in addition to many state and private schools. Hartubout said the Universidad del Salvador was the first school to implement a psychology program in Argentina. The program is also one of the most preferred majors within the university. Students are subject to a more
structured yet nonspecific schedule. Unlike in the United States, students don’t have a choice of what classes they take or what time they begin. “It is all different,” Hartubout said. “I arrive at eight but it ends differently (each day). On Wednesday we ended at 11, but today we ended at one.” Rather than having a set time for the classes to end, there is only a specified beginning. It is up to the professor to decide when each class ends. After class each day, Hartubout waits for a family friend to pick her up and drive her 40 minutes to her home. Hartubout has to commute each day since there is no student housing or commuter parking available on the campus located on Avenida Marcelo T. de Alvear, a busy street in a crowded city. But despite the challenges in an Argentine economy that finds many families struggling to survive, Hartubout and the other women have still found a way to earn a degree in an atmosphere many North American university students are not required to face. These women said they are determined to advance in their chosen profession so they can help others in their community.

FOOTBALL ‘10 FORECAST QUARTERBACK AND RUNNING BACK SERIES BY ALEX LAKE The Daily Mississippian
Despite the loss of two-year starter Jevan Snead, the Rebels may just end up with improved passing numbers from last year. While Snead did throw for 2,632 yards last season, he only completed 54.4 percent of his passes and offset 20 touchdowns with 20 interceptions. Sophomore Nathan Stanley seems the likely candidate to take the majority of the snaps for the 2010 campaign as the competition for the starting job enters the offseason. Stanley took the majority of the first-team snaps in the spring while freshman Raymond Cotton battled injury and soreness caused by a torn labrum in his throwing arm. Stanley, a 6-foot-5, 215-pounder, looks like a good fit for a Houston Nutt, traditional offense that mixes the pass with the run. Cotton has 4.5 speed and benches an Ole Miss quarterback record of 365 pounds. He has the potential to fill in great as the “Wild Rebel”
replacement the team needs after the graduation of Dexter McCluster. Possibly the most anticipated newcomer, junior college transfer quarterback Randall Mackey will help to provide depth to the young Rebel core. Mackey led the nation last year for East Mississippi Community College with 3,122 yards passing and ranked third with 283 yards per game. Mackey also is considered another option for the “Wild Rebel” attack. The biggest loss to this Ole Miss squad is Dexter McCluster. One player cannot replace his contributions, because of the rushing attack he provided as well as the ability to split out wide. McCluster rushed for eight touchdowns while also catching three. He is the only player in the history of the Southeastern Conference to rush for over 1,000 yards and receive for 500 yards in a single season. Veteran junior running back Brandon Bolden will try to fill the void in the Rebel backfield. While Bolden’s 614 yards and four touchdowns on
129 carries may have been a bit of a disappointment last year, he also caught 20 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown. Perhaps Bolden’s most memorable game as a Rebel came in the 2009 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas Tech in which he rushed for more than 100 yards on 11 attempts and a touchdown. Enrique Davis is listed as the Rebels’ No. 2 running back on the post-spring depth chart. Fans had high expectations of Davis when he arrived two seasons ago, but he has only amassed 354 yards and five touchdowns and played sporadically. Sophomore Rodney Scott should provide the depth to the position after he received limited snaps last year. His classmate Jesse Grandy is another option for Rebels in the backfield after he showed his mechanics on special teams last year. Grandy will also help play a pivotal role for a receiving core that lost their leader and main target from last year in Shay Hodge.

Sophomore quarterback Nathan Stanley will head into the fall semester as the starting quarterback after a solid spring. His backups, freshman Raymond Cotton and junior college transfer Randall Mackey, could also see snaps under center or in the “Wild Rebel.”
LONE SOCCER SENIOR EMBRACES LEADERSHIP ROLE FILE PHOTO | The Daily Mississippian
BY ERIC BESSON Sports Editor
After the 2009 season, the Ole Miss soccer team graduated two seniors and lost coach Steve Holeman - the only head coach in the program’s 15-year history - to the University of Georgia. A former Texas and Auburn assistant, new head coach Matthew Mott will replace the leadership
from the sideline, and he said the team’s only senior is the starting point for direction on the pitch. “It starts with Taylor Cunningham,” Mott said. “She’s our lone returning senior. She was one of our leading scorers. I think she’s a huge key to our success.” Cunningham said she will embrace the role, but added that it is a team effort. “I think it’s going to come from
everybody- me and the juniors that have been here, but also the upcoming sophomores; they all have a voice,” she said. “The freshman coming in, they will have to have an impact on it also because we are going to be a young team. It will start with me, and the juniors will help me out a lot.” Mott is new to Oxford, and he has not met with his entire team yet or seen them play in live action. But
he has done some film study and formed an opinion on the senior striker. “Taylor has good pace,” Mott said. “She is a very good athlete. She strikes the ball extremely well, which is important. She seems technically clean, is good with the ball at her feet, and I think she has the right attitude as an attacking player. She’s strong with the ball and gets forward. And when you can strike
the ball like she can, it gives you the opportunity to score goals from a lot of different positions on the field.” Cunningham scored six goals during the 2008 season and followed it up with another six-goal campaign in 2009. “I think definitely my ability to strike the ball is one of my best abilities and being able to see the space when I get the ball and be able to dribble and take people on and distribute, but if I have an open shot from 20-25 yards out, I’m going to take it,” Cunningham said. Along with Cunningham, the Rebels have nine juniors, seven sophomores, one redshirt freshman and eight incoming freshman on scholarship. Cunningham arrived as a freshman in 2007 after she “fell in love” with the campus on her visit. Some of her former Javanon Soccer Club teammates spoke highly of their experiences, which also helped her recruitment. “Some girls that played for the same club I played for went here, and they just talked about how much they enjoyed it,” Cunningham said. “So it was just their experience and what they had to say and the atmosphere that pulled me in.” Now, as the longest tenured Rebel player in the soccer program, Cunningham spoke of the team’s newest member: Coach Mott. “I really like him,” she said. “I’m excited about what he has in store for the season and the program, in general. ”
