Large freshman intake results in limited upperclassmen housing The Daily Mississippian

and Ole Miss’s new addition, Campus Walk, are practically at capacity.

But housing officials say everything will work out.

“There are still a few single spaces left in every residence hall,” Lorinda Krhut, director of student housing and residence life, said. “For students who already have a roommate in mind, their best bet would either be Kincannon Hall or Guess Hall.”

Guess Hall was originally scheduled to be closed for the 2010-2011 school term. Due to the large influx of freshmen they have been forced to open the hall and make it available to students.

Depending on the ratio of males and females, Guess Hall could possibly be made co-ed for the upcoming school term, Allbright said.

He said that Guess Hall has been co-ed in the past, and if the need persists, it will be again.

mined to keep the on campus living experience at its best, so they have hired additional resident assistants to fill the positions at Guess Hall.

If the influx of students is still too great for Guess Hall to hold, temporary housing will be made available in Miller Hall.

Temporary housing will be just that, temporary. “No shows” are inevitable, housing officials said. Students that are placed in Miller Hall will eventually be moved to alternate housing when the number of “no shows” is determined.

Roadwork continues on Jackson Ave. on Wednesday afternoon. Road workers are resurfacing the road and expect to be finished in the coming days.

The Daily Mississippian

Since Monday, Jackson Avenue has become more of a traffic jam for drivers during the morning and afternoon hours while traveling to and from work or school.

The current road construction is a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009. Although the bulk of the project is financed by the ARRA, it is also supported by the surface transportation funds, as well as local money from the city of Oxford.

The Mississippi Department of Transportation, or MDOT, has a contract with the city of Oxford and LehmanRoberts Construction Company, who is in charge of the current construction work and the work that is to come.

“We have to lay three inches of asphalt in total,” David Houston, estimator/project manager of Lehman-Roberts Company, said of Jackson Avenue.

About half of the construction was scheduled to be completed Wednesday.

The company hoped to then move to Old Taylor Road by Wednesday afternoon to begin work there, Houston said.

The south side of Highway 6 and a patch in front of Rowan Oak will be included in the work on Old Taylor Road.

Upon starting the work on the two portions of Old Taylor, Houston said he hopes to have these projects completed within a few days. “(Once we finish Old Taylor Road), we will go back to Jackson Avenue to put on the top coat of asphalt and stripe it.”

“Belk Street was included in this project also, but has already been completed other than some minor concrete work,” Jay Wood, of Florence and Hutcheson, said. As a project engineer, Wood oversees the inspection and record-keeping of the work being done on Jackson, the two portions of Old Taylor Road and Belk Street.

Some upperclassmen will have to find alternate housing for the upcoming semester.

Ole Miss has 4,800 new freshmen that are scheduled to live on campus for the fall 20102011 semester.

Both classrooms and residence halls are under discussion to find ways to accommodate such a large incoming class.

Upperclassmen who completed their applications before the deadline will not have to worry, however.

Those who did so still have their rooms reserved.

“Upperclassmen with more than 30 credit hours are not guaranteed on-campus housing if they have not already completed their housing application,” Michael Allbright, former coordinator of area two, said.

It is university policy that all freshmen must live on campus, so lodging for those students is the primary concern.

All of the residence halls, including Northgate, The Village

this week

housing, still has vacancies, but they are based on need.

Some students that applied for private rooms have received emails from the housing office apologizing for the inconvenience, but informing them that the private room that they had previously reserved for the fall semester was no longer an option.

“They are going to have to come up with another solution for upperclassmen,” junior Apral Foreman said. “If you want to stay on campus, you should have the opportunity, despite your classification.”

The University of Mississippi Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. and closed Sunday and Monday, and all University holidays.

SMITHSONIAN HOLDINGS TO AID RESEARCHERS IN GULF SUITLAND, Md. (AP) — Scientists studying the massive BP oil spill are turning to a vast collection of preserved animals at the Smithsonian to see what kind of changes the oil spill may wreak among life forms in the Gulf of Mexico.

The museum and research complex in Washington holds the most complete set of invertebrate species from the Gulf, offering scientists studying the spill’s effects a look at life before the gusher began. A researcher pulling a creature from the Gulf can use the Smithsonian’s collection to compare its size, body chemistry and other characteristics to a specimen collected before the catastrophe.

Smithsonian scientists began putting their collection to use just days after the oil spill, creating a digital map showing where each specimen was collected in the Gulf. Information from the collection could help settle conflicts about how much damage the spill caused, said Jonathan Coddington, head of research and collections at the National Museum of Natural History.

“Shrimpers are going to say, ‘We’re just not seeing any big shrimp any longer.’ Then we’ll go back to these collections and say the average size of shrimp prior to the spill was this,” Coddington said, surrounded by thousands of jars containing worms and other Gulf creatures preserved in alcohol in a suburban Maryland warehouse. “It will come out which ever way it comes out. Facts help everybody.”

Requests for loans of specimens and other information about the Gulf creatures have spiked since the April 20 explosion on a drilling rig leased by BP PLC unleashed the spill, See SMITHSONIAN, PAGE 4

COLUMN

Talkin’ ‘bout my generation BY

JON STEPHENS Columnist

It’s late Wednesday night. You have finally finished your homework after a bit of procrastination, and then you stumble into bed for a few hours of sleep. After 20 or so minutes of thinking about the next day’s activities, that one crush you just cannot keep your mind off of, and solutions that would solve all of the world’s problems, you still cannot get to sleep.

So, as a logical being, you (of course) turn on the television for mindless noise.

After absentmindedly flipping through infomercials, something catches your eye. No, it’s not “Smiling Bob,” the final question of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” or even the top plays of the night on “SportsCenter.”

Nickelodeon has a mini-marathon of “Rugrats,” a television show from its heyday. Admit it, you start making popcorn and reminiscing about your childhood while being fully engrossed in the adventures of the animated toddlers.

There’s a reason why children’s television networks, like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, show reruns of older programs - viewers they captivated a decade ago are still fans. Take the aforementioned “Rugrats,” for example. Do you

MICHAEL BUISE business manager

remember when Chuckie thought he was going to explode because he ate a watermelon seed? Of course you do. Tommy Pickles and the gang shrunk to microscopic size and ventured into Chuckie’s body in order to save him. They were naturally successful, so the “Rugrats” lived to see another episode.

“Rugrats” is just one example of Nickelodeon’s lineup of the 1990s.

“Rocket Power,” “The Wild Thornberrys,” “Rocko’s Modern Life,” “Doug,” “Hey Arnold!,” “The Angry Beavers,” “KaBlam!” and “Catdog” all dominated the televisions of American children. I still manage to catch a few episodes every now and then, on both television and the Internet (God bless Hulu and Netflix).

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about this generation of young’uns. They watch “iCarly” religiously and know all the dance steps to Hannah Montana’s glorified version of the Hokey Pokey, the “Hoedown Throwdown.” Instead of laughing at Kenan and Kel’s mindless mishaps, they watch Drake and Josh make fun of each other. After taking the time to watch a few of these newer programs, I cannot help but feel sorry for

these kids. Bluntly put, their TV shows are not as good as our generation’s programs.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “How will these kids ever learn what good cartoons are?” Well, not all hope is lost, my friend. If we simply introduce them to some episodes of “Hey Arnold!” or “Rocket Power” online, then hopefully they’ll have the mental capacity to understand that our shows were much more entertaining than theirs are today.

Maybe they will even begin watching our shows online regularly. After all, there are little to no commercials online if you go to the right website, and we all know that kids have an attention span akin to Kel’s.

Since the latest Nerf guns and action figures would not distract them from programs as often, it may both save some money from Mom and Dad’s checkbooks, and also give other residents of the household reign over the plasma TV displayed in the living room. This would, ultimately, give you more time to watch your favorite current programs.

And once again, our generation wins.

WHO SAID I HAVE TO?

BY JACOB FULLER Columnist

So, who wants to write a column for me?

No, really, I don’t feel like it today.

I’d much rather just fix some lunch (a sandwich and chips, anything else is too much work), turn on a mix of Bob Marley, the Beatles and the Allman Brothers and play some video games.

Am I complaining about my job? Certainly not. I love writing my opinion for others to read, even if the number of readers peaks at under a dozen in these bone-dry summer months in Oxford.

But like any other job, there are some days I would really rather be doing something else.

Ever feel like that? I don’t care how much you love your job, there will be days when you’d rather be fishing on Sardis, playing a round of golf or what-

ever it is you like to do on beautiful, not-too-hot days like this one.

What is it that keeps us from doing these things? Inevitably, the answer will always be: responsibility. But just what is responsibility? Webster’s Dictionary defines the word as “legal, moral or mental accountability.”

So the reason that many (“most” would certainly be no stretch) people spend between four and nine hours a day doing something other than what they desire to do is due to an accountability, be it legal, moral or mental, to someone or something.

So the real question is: where do our accountabilities lie? Who or what is going to hold you accountable if you choose not to go to work, class, jury duty, a war or wherever it is you’d rather not be?

Is it your boss, a judge, your pro-

fessors, parents, police, prospector or preacher?

Why do they get to make the decisions in your life? Is it legal, moral or mental accountability they hold over you? I must say, if it is any of the people listed above, they certainly hold no moral responsibility over you, outside of helping one of them in a time of need. If you have committed no crime and are not in debt to the person, they can hold no legal accountability against you, either.

That leaves the mental accountability. All of these people: judges, bosses, parents, police and preachers, hold a mental accountability over most of our culture.

You believe that if you don’t show up and flunk school, your parents will be angry or disappointed. If you do not show up for work, your boss will fire you. If you jaywalk, the police will ar-

rest you and if you drink too much on Saturday, the preacher will condemn you on Sunday.

There is real responsibility, and that is the responsibility you set for yourself.

First, we have a responsibility to survive.

If you choose to have children, you have chosen an 18-year responsibility for that child’s survival as well.

Aside from that, we choose our responsibilities. We choose to allow ourselves to be accountable to others. Certainly we do so to reach a goal we have set, but what goal?

I think we all need to step back from time to time and see who we hold ourselves accountable to and why. Why do we allow other people to make our decisions? Because as long as we allow other people to hold a mental accountability over us, we cannot truly be free. And if we are never free, what’s the point?

SMELLS LIKE AN EMERGENCY

get your morning fix

BY JAJUAN MCNEIL

What’s your emergency plan?

I thought that I would be a really smart guy when it came to emergency situations. I would simply do as I had been instructed when I was younger: dial 911, stop, drop and roll or use the emergency exits in the building.

Now that I have had the chance to go through two fire drills, I have realized that I may not be as smart as I thought.

Let me recount it for a second.

I was lying in bed, waiting for the time to come when I tell all my campers, “Hey it’s time to go to bed!” when out of nowhere I hear a man’s voice: “Attention!

This is an emergency. Please walk to the nearest exit. If you are on any floor other than the first, use the stairs to get out of the building.

It was a fire drill.

So, I get up, put on a shirt, and scramble to find the shorts I had just taken off. I carefully make sure that all the kids on

my floor have gone down the stairs to the lobby, then I went all the way around the cube to the bottom floor of Martin to make my way to the lobby.

As I waited outside, I realized some very important things.

First was that I put my shorts on backwards - the word “defense” that was supposed to be across the hind area was now at the front. The second thing I realized was... This is an emergency!

Granted, it was a simulated one, but an emergency situation nonetheless.

I guess with this being the first time that I have lived in an oncampus residence, I never had the chance to have a fire drill at weird times of the day. Let me tell you, it’s awful.

For the first time, I think I actually should have taken the emergency exit, and I didn’t. I guess the hardest thing to forget is the way we normally do things. Any normal day I would

have taken that same staircase, because in my mind, there was only one exit because I had told my campers time and time again that the emergency exit that is right across from my room is off limits for them.

I suppose having the chance to go down the same set of stairs reinforced my subconscious (yes, I did not think about how I was to get to the lobby). I guess the best thing to remember in all situations is that thinking and reacting in a smart manner is extremely important to how you make it through the day.

When an emergency arrives, and Lord knows it will, make sure that you are prepared to take the exit that is closest to you, even if it is an unfamiliar way. The most important lesson of the fire drill for me was to act responsibly in an emergency.

You just gotta put your shorts on one leg at a time, and make sure they are not on backwards.

With the weekend here there is no better time to come in and make those nails shine!

said collections manager Cheryl Bright. It has also increased the urgency of efforts to catalog tens of thousands of specimens from the Gulf.

The collection includes more than 333,000 cataloged containers of invertebrates collected in the Gulf by the U.S. Minerals Management Service over the past 30 years. Another 39,000 jars are partially inventoried, though as many as 120,000 more haven’t been inventoried at all.

The MMS, which recently changed its name to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, is considering transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Smithsonian to help speed up the process, Coddington said.

The MMS conducted environmental surveys of the waters for years, specifically to help predict the impact of future gas and oil explorations. They began turning over the extensive collection to the Smithsonian for cataloging and safekeeping in 1979.

Biodiversity scientist Tom

Shirley at Texas A&M’s Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies said the Smithsonian serves as a repository for the world’s ecosystems because its collection is so large. As research funding and projects ramp up, he said, many samples will be pulled from the Gulf that will be unfamiliar species.

“The big question will always be what’s the species of those animals,” he said. “Some things are obvious: You can identify them from books and publications. Other things you can’t.

The Smithsonian will come into play.”

Still, scientists can’t rely on the Smithsonian alone for a picture of the Gulf before the spill, said Monty Graham of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama. Marine centers in the region also have vast data on variations in plankton and other sea life from the days and years before the spill, for example.

“I think everybody needs to be asked what they have to contribute to painting this picture,” Graham said. “It’s a huge blank canvas.”

and a partner of Elliot and Britt Engineering, aided in the designing and funding of the project. “It’s a pretty expensive job,” he said. “This project is currently costing about $1.2 million.”

Elliot and Britt Engineering work for the city by arranging construction designs. The company has two more projects coming up in the next three months that will affect Oxford residents, particularly bikers and runners.

A $2.4-million bike path project, funded by the transportation enhancement funds, will begin around the first of September with the choosing of a contractor, McLeod said. The project will physically begin by the first of October. In addition to the bike path project, the sidewalk project, which began Monday on South 18th Street, will continue as well. Elliot

and Britt will proceed with a sidewalk from the northern part of South 18th to Belk Drive.

University campus will be experiencing some construction work as well, beginning Monday, July 26. The University Physical Plant on campus will begin by milling and paving University Avenue at the four-way stop in front of Coulter Hall, continuing around the circle, all the way to Library Lane and ending at Martindale (Student Services Building), Denny Buchanan, project manager of the University Physical Plant, said.

The funds for this project will come directly from the Ole Miss. However, this figure is not yet available. The physical plant is also responsible for the newly paved Sorority Row, Rebel Drive and the parking lot by the tennis courts near Guyton Hall.

REVIEW

DOOM POETICS

BY LANCE INGRAM Lifestyles Editor PHOTO COURTESY Cobra Camanda Publicity

For centuries the end of the world has been a looming question mark hanging over the curiosity of scholars, theologians and concerned people.

According the ancient Mayan calendar, the world will end in 2012. Some people believed the world would cease as the clock struck twelve on January 31, 1999, and others believe it could be any day now when the ozone is destroyed and the sun burns us alive.

Acknowledging our interests and fears of the apocalypse, authors and filmmakers have materialized their curiosity and predictions to the public by taking them to the big screen and bookstores worldwide.

If the apocalypse were to have a soundtrack, it would probably sound something similar to “Say Goodnight to the World,” the sophomore effort by singer/songwriter Dax Riggs.

Riggs, known for his work with Acid Bath and Deadboy & the Elephantmen, picks up where he left off on his debut solo album, “Blood or Love”, as he pursues his doomy-punk version of poetics.

The album starts with the title track as an electric guitar wailing what sounds like an

Indian war cry as it launches into a heavy drum beat of an oncoming attack.

“All these stars you’ve been reaching after, weeping with laughter, weeping with laughter. I could disappear, live only in your tears, just you whisper in my ear and say good night to the world,” Riggs sings mournfully yet offering redemption.

“Say Goodnight” hustles droning, distorted guitars that could make Robert Johnson reconsider selling his soul to the devil and invoke an imagery of doom that somehow remains poetic.

Although on tracks such as “Like Moonlight” and “You Were Born to be My Gallows”, Riggs turns down the electric mayhem to create an atmospheric sound of midnight stroll through a graveyard. His eerily calming voice implies a peaceful tone to what sounds like impending doom.

Throughout the album, an undertone of blues rings through the music and lyrics. And much like the original bluesmen, Riggs’ keeps much of the music simple with steady drum beats and crawling bass lines.

Much of the gloomy atmosphere on the album is created by the rich voice of the singer, which draws a resemblance of the

NEWSWATCH

late Layne Staley and David Bowie a la “Heroes” era.

The highlight track of the album is Riggs’ cover of the song popularized by Elvis Presley “Heartbreak Hotel”. The original composition depicts loneliness, but the Riggs’ version truly captures the depth of loneliness.

Opening with a bleak bass and subtle yet sparse hi-hat, the singer’s voice has a swagger that could only be pictured sitting at an old bar as his tears drip into his bourbon.

Haunting, graveyard guitar lines follow the chorus to create an imagery of the broken hearted visitor that makes you believe when Riggs’ sings “I get so lonely baby, I could die.”

Riggs’ lyrics mainly consist of doom and darkness, and the songwriter shows promise in his capabilities in matching poetry with instrumentation.

“Say Goodbye to the World,” will be released on August 3, 2010 via Fat Possum Records. Riggs’ will be performing in Oxford, September 23 at Proud Larry’s, but those who want to catch the artist before then can see him in Memphis at Hi-Tone Café, August 1.

Release Date: August 3, 2010 Record Label: Fat Possum Records Highlight Track: Heartbreak Hotel

QUARTERBACKS

PRESEASON ALL-SEC

POWE CHOSEN FIRSTTEAM BY COACHES

THE DM’S PAUL KATOOL WILL CONCLUDE HIS SUMMER SERIES OF RANKING THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE NEXT WEDNESDAY WHEN HE TACKLES THE TEAMS’ HEAD COACHES. 1. Arkansas: Let’s not stop at the Southeastern Conference; Ryan Mallett could be the best quarterback in all of college football (Washington’s Jake Locker begs to differ).

The two things that could Mallett from being an All-American this year are the aforementioned Locker and a foot injury that led him to roll around on a glorified scooter during the spring.

2. Florida: It’s been a long wait for redshirt junior John Brantley with that guy Tim Tebow taking up all the playing time. But don’t fret, Brantley. You land No. 2 on my list because you’re a “real” quarterback (Google this: “Jeremy Fowler real quarterback”). All kidding aside, Brantley is an accurate drop-back passer – a change of pace from a typical Urban Meyer QB– who is the second and last blue-chip signal caller this year in the SEC. 3. LSU: As long as Jordan Jefferson completely ignores everything coach Les Miles says (I’m only partly kidding), he’ll be in the upper echelon of SEC quarterbacks in ’10. Jefferson’s not a world killer, but his 17:7 touchdown to interception ratio wasn’t half bad for his first season as a full-time starter.

4. South Carolina: Stephen Garcia began his career at South Carolina in coach Steve Spurrier’s doghouse after two highly-publicized arrests. It’s been three years and

Garcia still hasn’t earned the Visor’s respect. When speaking to the media, Spurrier has continually praised backup quarterback Connor Shaw in an attempt to motivate Garcia.

Prediction: Garcia has a solid year and the two make up.

5. Auburn: As a Florida Gator, Cam Newton once stole laptops from a student in Gainesville, prompting his dismissal from the team. Now at Auburn, Newton will be committing grand larceny on defensive backfields. SEC corners and safeties, listen up: keep your eye on the ball when facing Newton as well as on any electronics you may own.

6. Alabama: Hey Greg McElroy, do you want to know what your contribution to the Crimson Tide’s national championship was last year? Not screwing up. McElroy was a game manager last year, and he’ll have that same role in the fall with Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and super sophomore Trent Richardson toting the rock.

7. Georgia: Aaron Murray is one of the greenest QBs in the league, but he’s also got A.J. Green (no pun intended). Even though Murray struggled during the G-Day game (10-of-22, 96 yards, one interception), Green is a security blanket ala what Shay Hodge was to Jevan Snead last year, but better. If things get tough, Murray, just throw it up

Ole Miss’ Jerrell Powe was named first team All-SEC by the league’s coaches Tuesday.

Alabama leads all schools with six first-team selections.

FILE PHOTO | The Daily Mississippian

Nathan Stanley was named the Ole Miss starting quarterback following spring practice after he backed up Jevan Snead in 2009. Stanley played in five games, completed 11 of 23 passes and threw one touchdown and one interception.

to big No. 8 and he’ll take care of business.

8. Kentucky: There’s still a quarterback battle going on in the Bluegrass state between Mike Hartline and Morgan Newton. Hartline’s stat line from last year (6 TDs passing, 7 INTs) isn’t as good as Newton’s (6 TDs passing, 3 INTs), but Hartline has more experience and therefore has an advantage going into the fall.

9. Ole Miss: It’s difficult to judge Nathan Stanley – anointed the starter over Raymond Cotton in the spring – due to his lack of ingame experience. A thin receiving corps and a young O-line doesn’t bode well for the first-time starter, but the positive news for Stanley is a manageable first five games of the season.

10. Tennessee: I’m more than a little skeptical about junior college transfer Matt Simms, who left Louisville after getting caught up in

life’s more, um, earthy substances.

The deal breaker is the fact that the kid threw 12 interceptions while at El Camino College, an alarming number of INTs for someone trying to make it in the SEC. 11. Vanderbilt: Larry Smith’s greatest accomplishment in football was helping his team win a state championship against Hoover High School on MTV’s Two-ADays. It will stay that way. Not only has Smith proven to be an abysmal passer, but his receivers couldn’t cut it at Mississippi College.

12. Mississippi State: Chris Relf sandwiched two really good performances – four touchdowns in last year’s opener vs. Jacksonville State and three in the Bulldog’s season finale win against Ole Miss – with a bunch of stinkers. Relf isn’t accurate, isn’t consistent and isn’t of any other use besides running the option. Somewhere, Chad Bumphis sheds a tear.

RANDOLPH EARNS INVITATION TO NATIONWIDE TOUR EVENT Ole Miss Sports Information

Ole Miss golfer Jonathan Randolph has received an invitation to play in the Nationwide Tour’s Children’s Hospital Invitational as an amateur this week at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio. Play begins Thursday, July 22 and concludes Sunday, July 25.

Randolph, along with 10 other individuals, received exemption into the tournament based on their AllAmerica status earned as collegiate golfers. The Brandon, Miss., native enters the tournament hoping to rebound from a disappointing showing last week at the Southern Amateur, where he missed the cut.
