IHOP Coming to Oxford

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER

BY MARGARET BURGE and JOHN ANDERSON The Daily Mississippian

Oxford is known to have the house of Faulkner, and soon it will also have the house of pancakes- the International House of Pancakes.

IHOP will set up shop in the Oakwood Shopping Center on Jackson Avenue.

“Opening a business in Oxford is not extremely difficult, although finding a the right piece of property may be challenging,” said Katrina Hourin, Assistant City Planner.

The official IHOP website named Mississippi first in the list of Domestic Growth Markets (DGM).

Based on the franchises criteria, each franchise needs to look for a suitable location, said Hourin.

Since Mississippi was on the top of the DGM list, it’s not surprising that one would eventually make its way to Oxford.

Before a franchise can be created in the city of Oxford, the potential franchise owners must first obtain permission to do so with the Oxford City

Planning Commission.

The site plan for IHOP was approved by the Planning Commission in July of this year, according to Hourin.

In the process of creating the IHOP, Hourin said that owners began the planning process by contacting the city planning department for information regarding codes and ordinances.

Also, the city’s deadlines for required approval by the commission had to be met.

After commission approval, the IHOP franchise owners submitted their constructions drawing for approval and permitting, Hourin said.

The new restaurant will likely give Huddle House some competition.

“The new IHOP will probably give us a little bit of competition when it gets here,” said Trinity Pierce, a waitress at Huddle House, also on Jackson Avenue.

Students and Oxford residents are getting excited about the new restaurant coming to town.

“I love eating at the local breakfast places in Oxford, but they are often overcrowded.

The last thing I want to do is wake up and wait to eat. IHOP

As each theater sells out, another one opens. 850 tickets had already sold at press time. look for us The Daily Mississippian will have a photographer at the premiere to catch all of the best costumes and the most enthused fans. Get ready!

On Thursday night - at least for some Ole Miss students and Oxford residents - the Square will not be the hangout of choice. That honor will be given to Malco Cinema.

Starting at 12:01 Thursday night, “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part 1” will premiere for all the world to see, and Oxford is in on the fun.

This movie will take viewers back into J.K. Rowling’s magical world for the first part of Harry’s last adventure.

The film, which is based on the last book in the Harry Potter series, has been broken into two parts.

The first premiers this week and the second comes out this summer.

Although the movie was originally intended to be shown in 3-D, Warner Bros. announced in October that they would not be able to convert the first half of the movie to 3-D in time

has a great breakfast menu and Oxford needs a new breakfast place,” senior Jordan Varnadore said.

Junior Katie Sterrenberg also seemed excited by the news.

“I couldn’t believe it when I drove by,” said Sterrenberg.

“We have IHOPs everywhere back home, and the fact that Oxford did not have one was something I noticed when I first visited here.”

Sterrenberg said she believes that having the IHOP in town will be nice for students who are up late studying for exams.

“It’s going to be nice, after a long night of studying in the library to take a break at midnight and go get some strawberry pancakes,” Sterrenberg said.

No date has been set for construction to begin or completion.

for the November release date; they still plan on releasing the second half in 2-D and 3-D. But fans are not complaining about the lack of three-dimensions.

According to Heather Hurdle, one of Malco’s managers, 850 tickets have been sold so far for the midnight showing, and they are still selling.

As one theater sells out, Malco opens another.

Accordingly, it is possible that all 8 screens will show Harry and his friends into the wee hours of Friday morning, according to Hurdle.

If this happens, the late showings of other movies on Thursday night will be cancelled “to lock the doors and clean,” Hurdle said.

Ole Miss freshman and speech pathology major Lauren Bartley said she cannot wait to see the new Harry Potter film.

“I’m really excited,” Bartley said. “I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, so I’ve been waiting for this movie since the last one came out two years ago. My friends

and I will definitely be in line for the midnight premiere.”

As excited as Bartley is, even she said that she cannot compete with all of the fans who continually checked Malco’s website and ordered tickets the day they went on sale.

Fortunately for Harry Potter fans throughout the north Mississippi area, the excitement will not end on Friday morning.

Oxford Malco Cinema will hold a Harry Potter promotional event Saturday, Nov. 20 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

According to Malco’s Matt Lucas, employees will be dressed up, there will be door prizes and vendors will be there promoting Harry Potter and the new movie.

Square Books Jr. is slated to sell Harry Potter books, and the Oxford Library will be in attendance to give people the opportunity to apply for library cards.

There will be Harry Potter video game promotions and other attractions.

Unhappy Turkey Day

BY KATHLEEN BROWN Columnist

T H E

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays.

For me, it always meant going to the mountains of North Carolina with my mom’s side of the family and staying in a cabin.

It was a wonderful few days filled with family, food and usually snow.

We never really had the picturesque Norman Rockwell turkey dinner, but all of our food was made with lots of love.

Even though no one really liked turkey, my Mamaw would always bring a little bit because it was Thanksgiving, after all.

After we had all gorged ourselves, we would go around the dinner table and share things we were thankful for.

I’m sure I didn’t fully understand when I was younger what “thankful” really meant. But now that I’m older, it takes on a completely new and profound meaning.

I do remember always saying I

was thankful for the food we had just eaten. I love my Mamaw’s cooking more than anything in the world.

I didn’t realize then that almost half of the things on the dinner table had once been living, breathing, creatures.

Turkeys today are in an unbelievably sad state. Unlike the turkeys we see in holiday pictures and knick-knacks, the turkeys of today have been so genetically modified they can’t even reproduce on their own. They are not the beautiful feathered creatures we see advertised, but emaciated plain white birds.

It is beyond me why we celebrate Thanksgiving with a turkey. Many historians now believe that the pilgrims dined on a plain bean stew. They didn’t have cranberry relish or green bean casserole, and most likely no turkey. But hey, there’s no way Walmart could capitalize on selling lots of beans and bread. This is

America, after all.

Using a turkey as a centerpiece of a holiday meal is a relatively new phenomenon, started in the early 20th century. No surprise, it was largely promoted by the poultry industry. Turkeys today have almost no protection under law, specifically the Human Slaughter Act. Undercover animal activists have videotaped farmers stomping on injured turkeys and kicking them around like a ball.

Most of us are aware than many of our holiday traditions are not as much based on actual history as they are on commercialism.

Most of us also just want to pig out and then either nap or watch football. But let’s not forget the actual holiday that we claim to celebrate.

I’ll be the first to admit that choosing to love animals, rather than eat them has proven to be the most difficult on holidays. As someone who grew up eating my

mother and grandmother’s wonderful, home-cooked meals, it is very difficult to smell the smells and not want to eat them.

I never thought the day would come when I passed on my Mamaw’s chicken casserole or my mom’s Coca-Cola baked ham, but it has. And though we probably won’t be having turkey this coming Thursday, I will still be tempted to eat all of the wonderful food that has been prepared.

I’m not asking anyone to have Tofurky in lieu of turkey. I don’t even like that stuff. I am just asking you to consider what the holiday is really about. Are you thankful that your family celebrates the holiday with kindness and reverence, or do you even care about thankfulness?

I am thankful for many things, which I intend to share with my loved ones this coming Thanksgiving. One thing I’ll share now: I am thankful that I am not a turkey.

Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share

BY CHASE PINSON Columnist

The fifth-highest football crowd in history, 61,474 people, filled Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for the match-up against Auburn.

The majority of those people were probably in the Grove all day as well as before the game.

Unfortunately, I was not one of those 61-and-a-half-thousand.

I did, however, make it to the Grove on Saturday. I was running a little late though, and didn’t get there until about 10 minutes after midnight.

Because I was in such a hurry, I didn’t have much of a chance to dress for the occasion. Instead, I had to go in what I had on: regular old clothes that I wear all the time.

They’re comfortable clothes.

Jeans, some decent shoes I bought a little while ago that I’m pretty proud of, and a T-shirt underneath

a Patagonia fleece jacket my girlfriend bought me last Christmas.

I would have liked to have gone home and changed, of course, but we were in a hurry.

When we got there, we stepped out of my truck into the cold night to find that our friends had gone before us.

We were met by one of the hosts of this secret event who was waiting, clipboard in hand, bundled against the low temperature in the parking lot.

We signed in and were rewarded with some lovely gloves that served to keep our hands safe and warm. I stuffed a few extra into my pocket– they wear out pretty easily, and I didn’t want to make the mistake of going the night with just one pair again.

Our greatest expectations and more were fulfilled when we set eyes on her, our beloved Grove.

She was waiting, sprawled out in the dark beneath trees that

loomed in darkness except for the occasional light hanging high above in some branches.

We strode out into her depths like people with a journey of a thousand miles before them.

The landscape was one of red and blue trash cans, mounds of black trash bags that looked like shadows, lots and lots of discarded junk left in the wake of the intoxicated exodus toward the Square following the game.

Tents were being taken down by crews and loaded into pick-up trucks. Small carts with that sort of high-pitched whine one always sees on campus were crisscrossing between the trees like brightly lit, searching machines in “The Matrix.”

While the rest of Oxford was enjoying the evening, we stayed out there enjoying the shared suffering of the unseen workers who make the Grove look like no one was ever there. Close to it, anyway.

I found myself wondering what it would be like if people made sure there wasn’t much of a mess to clean up before they left.

I know that’s wishful thinking, but it’s worth the thought.

It wouldn’t take much. Already most tents are supplied with a few garbage bags for, well, garbage.

But what if everyone went just a few steps further?

It wouldn’t take much.

But then I wouldn’t have enjoyed the sense of satisfaction

I felt returning home at four o’clock in the morning after doing something for no other reason besides the fact that I didn’t want my friends to be out there doing it alone.

It’s something that most people wouldn’t understand: Why would someone actually want to help clean up the Grove after a night game in late October on a Saturday night in the cold, wee hours of the morning? Because it felt good.

OPD receives anonymous $20K gift The Daily Mississippian

The season of giving started early for the Oxford Police Department’s Mounted Patrol.

Mayor George “Pat” Patterson said he was excited that the mounted patrol received a $20,000 gift from an anonymous donor during these tight budgetary times.

“It makes you feel good that people are getting involved like this,” Patterson said. “It was a generous donation, and I think the concerned citizen believes in the mounted patrol. We certainly think they are doing an excellent job.”

The police department will start with purchasing new saddles, but because of a deal from a visiting saddle merchant, it will not break the bank.

Charles Tackett, the owner of Cowboy Corner in Southaven, contacted Police Chief Mike Martin, after noticing the officers sitting on old saddles. He offered to sell the saddles at cost, $981, and Martin took the offer.

“We thank (Tackett) for selling those saddles to us at his cost,” Martin said. “These saddles were

chosen for their specific purpose of mounted patrol.”

Martin said the next purchases will be clothing items and other tack and gear needed by the officers and horses, while also holding some money back for future purchases.

“We are not in a hurry to spend all of the money, and it will be used to purchase things that are needed as they come up, as we go along with this endeavor,” Martin said.

The mounted patrol was formed earlier this year to help with crowd control on the Oxford Square, Ole Miss games and other events.

“The mounted patrol has been an asset to our department,” Martin said. “Their ability to police an area that is extremely crowded cannot be matched by other methods.”

Martin said he was extremely grateful for the anonymous donation to the mounted patrol, which will improve the mounted patrol’s ability to operate.

“Donations allow us to have things that we may not be able to purchase in these tight budgetary times,” Martin said. “And, of course, it saves taxpayer dollars.”

Nothing but sheer nosiness caused me to wonder what students listen to on their iPods while walking to class.

As someone whose MP3 player never leaves her car, I have yet to join the trend of students who rely on music to get them to and from their classes every day, but recently I’ve been curious.

What exactly is streaming from all of those headphones?What mix of music rushes into the ears of the student body every day? So, we asked. And this is what we found out.

Q and A with DSG

Douglass Sullivan-Gonzales, Dean of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College, recognizes the importance of past experience, present opportunity and future change.

Many people and circumstances shaped who he is today, but with a mind seeking knowledge and a heart desiring understanding, DSG, as Sullivan-Gonzales is fondly referred to, influences Ole Miss in more ways than mere administration.

BY BETSY LYNCH The Daily Mississippian

ADDISON DENT | The Daily Mississippian

1. When you were in college, what were your plans for the future?

As a sophomore at the University, I was intent on becoming a minister in the Baptist Church; but one, I’m Presbyterian, and two, I’m not a fulltime minister. So things shift with opportunity.

2 Where did you meet your wife?

Maribel. She’s from Nicaragua. I was teaching down there, and we met at the Xerox machine in 1985. It’s our 25th year of marriage.

3. How has being a parent changed you?

I have two daughters, Francis and Renee. More patience, more understanding; it’s a measure of grace that outweighs my first inclination to demand accountability--a little more patience with people, as we try to understand all of our limitations.

4. What has been the happiest moment of your life?

There’s sort of two series of very great moments that I think of, 1985 and ‘86. When I met Maribel in Nicaragua was a great time where I felt like I had achieved many of my goals already, and I found

myself trying to reassess ‘what am I going to do now.’

Second happiest moment would be sort of revolving with the family.

Maybe it’s just as recently as intertubing on a river in the Smoky Mountains this past August.

5. What has been the saddest moment of your life?

Probably when my brother passed away. The Easter before he died in 1982, we expressed our love for one another, then he had a stroke and died three days later. He left three boys.

He gave me a strength for the rest of my life to understand life’s finality.

6. What has been the biggest turning point in your life?

There have been significant shifts in my life. I experienced growing up in a very pluralistic community in Chattanooga - Jewish, Catholic, Church of Christ, Presbyterian and Baptist.

The woman next door, a Jewish woman, her son was killed in a car wreck in the army, and she was wailing in the house.

The Church of Christ, the Presbyterian, the Catholic and my mother, the Baptist, were all in there talking and trying to console her.

It was a deep experience in plurality. I remember that interfaith moment when the Jewish woman was asking people from Christian faith if she would see her son again, and then our family would go down the same path in a couple of decades with my brother passing away.

7. What would you consider your biggest failure?

I started my PhD at SMU in religious studies. I was very mouthy and aggressive with a particular professor. I thought I was better than I was, but I was only a B student in my writing.

He flunked me basically.

I went and confronted him about the grade, and we had a showdown.

He told me that I had to choose whether I was going to be a preacher or a philosopher and that I couldn’t do both.

I said I was going to do both, but it wasn’t going to be here.

So I left SMU. When I won the best dissertation award from Texas, I had to look back and thank that professor for being the ass. If he hadn’t failed me, I might have ended up with a very miserable life.

So failure in that sense became success.

A Second Chance at Love: Memoir follows reunited UM alumni

BY CALLIE DANIELS The Daily Mississippian

“A True Love Story: a Second Chance at Love” is a memoir written by Ole Miss alumnus Michael Van Buren Latch.

It tells the true love story of Latch and his love, now-wife Mary. It follows the influence of Oxford, Ole Miss and the spark that a simple Facebook invitation created.

The story begins when Mike spotted Mary at the Sunflower, a grocery store in Oxford in 1979.

He was so smitten that he asked her out within a day of meeting her.

They were together for about three years and even shared an apartment before they separated.

Mary was married soon after their separation, and Michael followed suit nine years later.

It was nearly 30 years later when they found each other again through Facebook.

They realized that their love for each other never died, and got back together.

The baffling and endearing charm of this book is that it is a nonfictional tale, though the story sounds like a modern fantasy.

The reunion was sparked by a Facebook friend request from Mary.

The reason she sent the request was because she had dreamt of Michael.

In this dream, he was in pain and needed help; coincidentally, Michael was still dealing with the sudden loss of Rhonda – his late wife – when Mary had the dream.

The uncanny quirk was that both had lost their spouse at around the same time.

Michael lost his wife to suicide, while Mary lost her husband to addiction.

They began talking and they discovered that their love was still there.

The reason Michael began writing the book was a therapeutic exercise when he was

dealing with the overwhelming emotions following his wife’s suicide in May. “I got overloaded with memories, so I just began writing them down,” Michael said.

As for the reason why they originally split up, Michael admitted that he and Mary talked about it, and they honestly do not know why.

“Maybe it had to do with our ages,” Michael said.

“I was 21 and she was 19.

Maybe she got cold feet, or I just didn’t propose soon enough. But honestly, we don’t know.”

Michael wanted the book published after talking with a few of his friends who read his story. He felt that his experience should be an example of optimism.

“It’s from the heart,” Michael said.

“It’s true. It shows that anything can happen.”

He and Mary recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of their reunion.

8. How has your job changed you?

I’m much more comfortable now in being very transparent with people when I need to be. I can say no without fear of hurting their feelings, and it used to terrify me. I would avoid conflict unless it was the only thing left.

9. What advice do you have for students?

People who set trends have to risk falling down.

Take risks– good, smart, thought out risks. Join a group

and get involved and try to take what you know and apply it in real life.

I don’t think it matters what course of study, you have to be both scientist and humanitarian to be very successful in this world.

You’ve got to always push the bar and make the ethic of excellence higher each year.

10. What do you want on your tombstone? ’Swimming upstream.’

You’ve got to go against the flow. Always.

Rifle hits the mark against West Virginia and Army

BY MATT SIGLER The Daily Mississippian

A record-breaking weekend in New York for the Ole Miss women’s rifle team has the Rebels right where they want to be according to coach Valerie Boothe.

The Rebels competed against West Virginia and Army on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. On Sunday Ole Miss broke its previous team score record of 4642 by posting a mark of 4647. Incidentally, the old record had been set the previous day.

Booth said that sophomore Kim Coffey stood out during the weekend. Coffey shot her personal best in her two events against Army, and against West Virginia came within a point of each point total from the previous day.

“We are right where we want

to be midway through”, Boothe said. “We still haven’t peaked, which is good and this will be a really good break point for us.”

The Rebels will resume matches in mid-January, beginning with Murray State on Jan. 15 in Murray, Ky.

With the fall season over, the team looks to carry its momentum over to the spring.

There will be several road trips ahead for the Rebels, but the highlight of the season will be hosting the Great American Rifle Conference Championships Feb. 25-27.

players. They really have all the pieces of the puzzle.”

Arizona is a transition team, and according to Lander, the whole team is proficient in shooting around the perimeter.

“They are high octane offense basically,” said Ladner.

The Wildcats are the first team the Rebels have scouted, and the Lady Rebels have focused on re-

bounding, transition and guarding for the game.

Ladner said that there is still work to be done for her young team.

“It’s us getting better day to day, us being able guard their sets and us knowing personnel,” said Ladner.

But after two exceptional practices Ladner said she feels better about facing Arizona.

Lady Rebels host Arizona

BY KAITLYN DUBOSE The Daily Mississippian

The Ole Miss women’s basketball team (2-0) hosts Arizona tonight at 7 p.m at the Tad Smith Coliseum.

The Wildcats (2-0) have beaten the Lady Rebels the last two times the teams have faced each other.

Unlike the predominately freshmen Lady Rebels, Arizona returns all of their key players from last

season.

Ole Miss coach Renee Lander said that Arizona’s experience would put the Rebels to the test.

“They are talented,” said Ladner. “They are returning all of their

Paul’s Power Poll: Week 12 The Daily Mississippian

1. Auburn (11- 0 overall, 7-0 SEC, 1st last week): The Tigers went “all in” with their decision to play embattled quarterback Cam Newton in a Southeastern Conference West clinching win over Georgia.

Auburn’s decision makes sense: If the allegations of Newton accepting extra benefits are true, then the Tigers are in big trouble whether Newton played or not.

2. LSU (9-1 overall, 5-1 SEC, 2nd last week): The bumbling quarterback duo of Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee, or Bert and Ernie as I like to call them, combined for only eight completions and the Tigers still blew out Louisiana Monroe 51-0.

Les Miles is approaching a new level of football Nirvana where it won’t be necessary to have a quarterback on the field to win.

3. Arkansas (8-2 overall, 4-2 SEC, 3rd last week): Cam Newton might get all the hype, but Razorbacks QB Ryan Mallett will be the first signal caller taken in the 2011 NFL Draft.

There’s much to like about Mallett: nearly 3,000 yards passing through 10 games, 24 TD passes and to my knowledge a clean slate with the NCAA. 4. Alabama (8-2 overall, 5-2 SEC, 5th last week): Judging

by Nick Saban’s poutiness at the end of Alabama’s game with Mississippi State, it wouldn’t have been a bad surmise that the Crimson Tide had laid an egg against the Bulldogs.

Nope, ‘Bama won by 20 – sheesh, Nick.

5. South Carolina (7-3 overall, 5-3 SEC, 7th last week): It’s taken a bunch of luck and a bunch of Marcus Lattimore – who rushed for 212 yards and three touchdowns against Florida – for the Gamecocks to win its first SEC East championship.

It only seems right that Steve Spurrier clinched the title with a win over his former team.

6. Mississippi State (7-3 overall, 3-3 SEC, 4th last week): While Dan Mullen has the Bulldogs headed in the right direction, a blowout loss to Alabama revealed that they’re not all the way there yet. MSU’s two signature wins

even reach the postseason.

10. Tennessee (4-6 overall, 1-5 SEC, 11th last week): After years of futility at the quarterback position, the Volunteers have found a keeper in Tyler Bray. Just last year, Bray, a true freshman, was playing high school football in California.

On Saturday, it looked like Bray was again playing against high school competition in the Ole Miss secondary.

11. Ole Miss (4-6 overall, 1-5 SEC, 10th last week): In a battle between two of the SEC’s cellar dwellers in the Rebels and Tennessee, Ole Miss ended up as the biggest loser. The Rebels need to beat both LSU in Baton Rouge – probably not happening – and the best Mississippi State team in a decade to go bowling.

12. Vanderbilt (2-8 overall, 1-6 SEC, 12th last week): The Nashville campus is renowned for having some of the best instruction in both law and medicine, but the bright minds at Vanderbilt still haven’t figured out how to put an offense together. Here’s a hint: it probably doesn’t have anything to do with torts or organic chemistry.

portunistic defensive play.

Ole Miss was also able to make the Racers pay for their mistakes. The Rebels went 22-of-23 from the foul line with Murray State committing 25 fouls on the night.

The Rebels next take on the Dayton Flyers Saturday night in Oxford at 6 p.m.

-Player(s) of the game: G Nick Williams and G Zach Graham -The duo combined going 13-of-21 from the field with 43 points. That’s good enough for over 50 percent of the Rebels’ scoring total on the night.

-Stat of the game: G Chris Warren did not connect on a three pointer Wednesday night. This breaks Warren’s 46-game three pointer streak.

-The game was over when...

Midway through the second half, the Rebels had their biggest lead of the night of 20. Murray State would never come within 11 points from that point forward.

-Quotable: “It definitely gives us confidence. It lets us know that we can play well against good teams.

(Murray State) were NCAA team last year and we came out and popped them.”

this year came against an AJ Green-less Georgia team and a Florida squad that somehow forgot how to score touchdowns.

7. Florida (6-4 overall, 4-4 SEC, 6th last week): The Gators offense, coached by coordinator Steve Addazio, gained just over 200 yards in a horrid performance against South Carolina.

Addazio has little chance of keeping his job past this season, but the folks at Firesteveaddazio.com want to make that a certainty.

8. Kentucky (6-5 overall, 2-5 SEC, 9th last week): Florida coach Urban Meyer would give up his first born to have Kentucky playmakers Randall Cobb and Derrick Locke on his team. The Wildcats’ 38-20 win over Vandy was powered by over 400 total yards and four touchdowns from the duo.

9. Georgia (5-6 overall, 3-5 SEC, 8th last week): Not so long ago, Mark Richt and the Bulldogs seemingly flipped a switch and won at least ten games a year.

In 2010, Georgia must win its final game of the year against in-state rival Georgia Tech to
