Sunday alcohol sales approved by State BY KATE NICOLE COOPER & LANCE INGRAM The Daily Mississippian
Sunday alcohol sales in Oxford have been officially approved by the state. The Mississippi Department of Revenue has approved restaurant sales of wine and liquor on Mother’s Day (May 8), Father’s Day (June 19) and the Sundays following University of Mississippi football games. It includes sales on Valentine’s Day and New Year’s
Eve when they fall on a Sunday. “I’m glad they sought to allow Oxford to govern itself and to prove this compromise,” said Brad Mayo, Board of Aldermen Ward VI. “Oxford citizens wanted some change, and this is that change.” Mayor Pat Patterson was notified Monday of the state’s approval. The first Sunday sales of 2011 will fall on Mother’s Day. On Dec. 7, the Board of Aldermen voted to allow on-premise alcohol sales from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Campus works to accommodate growing student body BY RACHEL JOHNSON The Daily Mississippian
It’s easy to notice all the changes around Ole Miss. There is a new on-field mascot, new buildings, new brand marketing campaigns and new professors and staff. The change that is the most exciting and most frightening around campus, however, is probably the recent growth in the student population. As the Daily Mississippian reported last semester, this year’s freshman class is the largest in the University’s history, nearly 20 percent larger than the class of 2013. On campus, this means adjustments in student life, especially concerning transportation and
on-campus housing. “So far, we have been able to house all freshmen on campus,” student housing director Lorinda Khrut said. “However, we were very full this past fall.” Khrut said that the housing supply will have to meet the demand if class sizes continue to increase. “We will have an additional 720 beds in the fall of 2012 in anticipation of future growth,” Khrut said. “Right now, we will house upperclassmen in Northgate and Campus Walk. That should take care of most of our upperclassmen. Other changes include Crosby being converted into a freshman-only dorm, as opposed to mixed freshman and sophomore Greek women.” Another area that affects a lot of
students is the financial aid department. Its lines are notoriously long at the beginning of the semester, and staff members have definitely noticed an increase in these lines. Fortunately the amount of aid students will get will not be affected by increases in the number of students attending Ole Miss,” financial aid director Laura Diven Brown said. “We have found a heavy demand for Federal Work-Study program opportunities this year, though, and Work-Study funds are limited,” Brown said. “As a result, the work-study allocation for fall and spring is fully committed already. We also expect to have rising numbers of students attending See CAMPUS, PAGE 6

Tapped Out BY KATHLEEN BROWN The Daily Mississippian
T H E
You don’t need to be a terribly observant person to know that Americans absolutely love bottled beverages. Water, soda, beer—we don’t care as long as it’s portable and satisfying. This is a fairly new phenomenon that has exploded in the past 10 years, give or take. Before the 1970s, bottled water was virtually nonexistent. Now, almost everyone you pass on campus has a bottled something in their hand or backpack. So what’s the harm? Everyone is constantly telling us to drink more water. When I was nine or 10 years old, I remember learning about how fish and other animals got caught in plastic six-pack rings (the things that hold bottles and cans together) and suffocated. I then posted signs all over the house reminding my family members to “save the fishies” and cut the plastic rings.
Recently, I learned about a similar issue regarding bottled water. Except this time, it’s ourselves that need saving. Why do we drink bottled water? Most would say that it is because it’s “purer” or more “filtered” than tap water. We’ve heard about pharmaceuticals in the water, and chlorine galore! So it must be dangerous to drink our water, right? Wrong. The U.S. has arguably the safest drinking water available on earth. That is because municipal water facilities test your tap water up to 400 times a month. That’s a lot, folks. In contrast, there is only one person at the FDA to monitor and hold accountable all the bottled water companies in the U.S. So would you rather have water that is checked 10 times a day or never? The bottled water industry would love to have you think
that their water is healthier and purer than the water out of the tap. Even though the bottled water companies are held responsible to no one for the safety of their water, people still think that it is the safest available. Well that’s true, because at least forty percent of all bottled water is…wait for it…tap water. It gets even better. If you look on some bottled water, there will be fine print that says “enhanced with minerals” or something like that. That mineral would be sodium chloride, which is salt. Salt make us thirsty. What do we drink to quench our thirst? That’s right, water. Yeah, the bottled water industries are clearly concerned with your health. So what’s a parched college student to do? Instead of paying whatever ridiculous price they’re asking now for Ole Miss

bottled water, why not go and get a stainless steel or plastic bottle for less than $20 that will last you forever? I’ve had my Nalgene for almost 10 years and it still is in great shape. I hate plastic, but it is not going away. Though companies have tried to make certain types safer such as having BPA-free items, the government does not have the power to control and monitor all types. So as far as we know, plastic is here to stay, but you can help the planet and your own body by buying a reusable stainless steel or BPA-free plastic bottle to hydrate yourself. If you still don’t feel safe about tap water, buy a filtered water pitcher or a filter that attaches to the faucet. They’re cheap and last a very long time. It’s a small step to drink more water, and make the planet and your body healthier.

Submit it to elizalistens@gmail.com. Dear Eliza, I’ve been trying to move on from my ex and have been talking to a few guys, but there seems to be one thing in common with them all... no one goes on dates anymore! Before you just assume it’s just me and that other people are in fact going on dates, hear me out. I’ve spoken to several of my friends and sorority sisters, and we all agree that guys don’t think about actually taking girls on dates anymore. This is really disappointing. Yes, guys text us or call inviting us to go to parties or going to the bars with them but hello, that is not a date! Sorry guys, but it just isn’t. So my question for you Eliza, how do we get guys to realize that we want a real date and not just a night of bar hopping out with all our closets friends and strangers? Please, not just for me, but
for all girls: We need your help! Allie Dear Allie, As much as we all want to change at least something about the opposite sex, we all know that really just won’t happen. Yes, we have heard the stories about that one girl who found a guy and was able to change him and they lived happily ever after, and that’s great, but this isn’t a fairy tale. You cannot change a guy and a guy will never change for anyone. However, we can make it more of a challenge for guys to see us and get a hold of us. For example, if a guy you like continues to text you about meeting up at the bars or continues to invite you to a party, say no, but suggest that if he is free the next night to let you know. Now he knows you’re not turning him down due to lack
The
of interest, but because you don’t want to be in such large crowds all the time. Soon enough, he should get the hint. If not, it’s time to either suck it up or move on. We can’t always expect men to be able to read our minds. Be more direct and take an initiative in your dating life. I hope this helps! xoxo, Eliza Dear Eliza, I’m in a sorority, and we have a date party coming up soon, but I’m having trouble finding a date. I’m not really talking to anyone right now, and my guy friends either have girlfriends or have already been my date at one time or another. I feel like I need a change. I’m tempted to ask my

Dear MR, I think it’s great for you to ask your friends for help, but if there are specifics you’re looking for, make that clear to your friend. Also, I know the more we procrastinate and try and convince ourselves we’ll find a date or say, “Oh I’ll just skip this one,” the more likely we’ll
end up going with one of our girlfriend’s boyfriend’s freshman pledges, and, well, you see where that’s going. Remember to ask a close friend who knows you well enough to know what kind of guys you like. If you are still unsure about who to ask, you can always ask a guy friend even if you’ve taken him before. The main part of date parties is to be with your friends and have a good time. If he was a good date the first time, chances are he will be again. And remember: There will always be another date party.
Successful applicants will meet the following program qualifications: • Must illustrate a STRONG interest in the obtainment of the Ph.D. • Must be a rising junior or senior (can not graduate before December of 2011 and no one with a conferred bachelors degree or higher can apply) • ****Must be classified as a low-income and first generation student (any race or ethnic background) OR be from a group underrepresented in graduate education • Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident • Must hold a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 (3.0 within major)

UM Research Scientists Search For Alternative Energy Source
ADDISON DENT | The Daily Mississippian
Kenneth Bader, a graduate student at Ole Miss participating in the project, shows of some of the equipment used during research for alternative energy.
BY ALEXANDRA COMBS The Daily Mississippian
Research scientists at the National Center for Physical Acoustics at the University of Mississippi have been working extensively on a project that could potentially create an alternative source of energy. Senior research scientist and research professor of physics, Charles Church, has been working on this project for over two years. “We know how to approach the problem, but we don’t know what the answer is,” Church said. “It could take six months. It could take six years.” The ultimate goal of the project is to produce small tabletop fusion generators that will provide an alternative energy source. “Fossil fuels won’t last forever, and when they run out,
we will be in trouble,” Church said. The acoustic cavitation research project began with the California-based company, Impulse Devices, and is led by Felipe Gaitan. Gaitan received his doctorate in physics from the University of Mississippi and is responsible for the discovery of single bubble sonoluminescence. Gaitan’s findings created a new field of study in physics. The University of Mississippi’s research team also corresponds with Boston University, the University of Washington and Rutgers University. “We all work on different aspects of the project,” Church said. Kenneth Bader, a graduate student at the University of Mississippi, has worked full-time on the project since spring 2007.
“The project is really interesting,” Bader said. “It’s the kind of project that makes you want to be into science.” Bader works on the project seven days a week and sometimes invests 10 hours per day. “It’s been quite intense labor, and we’ve been taking in a lot of data,” Bader said There are many different aspects to the research, which have kept Bader busy. “It’s a never-ending research project,” Bader said. “Sometimes, you start doing something with the intention of finding one result, and along the way you find that there is a lot of other interesting stuff going on. You can get side tracked.” The end result of the research project will have many global benefits for the environment. “Current nuclear power

plants produce a lot of irradiated materials in the containment vessel and the surrounding buildings,” Church said. “There are all sorts of potential pollutants that come out of a power plant. With the devices we are talking about producing, there will be very little radiated material that you will have to worry about.” If the research collected proves to be successful, researchers will be able to create small devices that will be distributed throughout the world. “This device would do the same thing that the sun does, it will provide the same sort of energy,” Church said. The University of Mississippi researchers are using acoustic cavitations under high pressure that may ultimately produce a cleaner, less expensive and unlimited source of energy. Acoustic cavitation is the
process of producing vaporfilled bubbles in liquid under high pressure. Researchers use acoustic resonators to conduct their experiments. “The general idea is acoustically generated inertial confinement fusion,” Church said. If the research heads major advancements, it will bring large amounts of recognition for the University of Mississippi and increase its academic reputation. “Everybody has heard of places like MIT and Stanford because they do great work,” Church said. “If the research is successful, we will prove to be able to do top quality work.” Scientist Sara Brown said the results for the project that have been collected at the University are confidential, and some questions regarding the project need to be approved by Impulse Devices employees.

Squirrels to blame for winter power outages BY LEE HARRIS The Daily Mississippian
Next time the electricity goes out, try to look at the bright side: You are still better off than the squirrel that just died. Each winter, dozens of squirrels and other small animals are killed on Oxford and Lafayette County’s power lines. Keith Hayward, assistant manager of North East Mississippi Electric Power, said the animals are drawn to the heat put off by the equipment. Despite serving customers in rural areas outside city limits, North East Electric had fewer problems than Oxford Electric with squirrels this winter. Oxford Electric department manager Lynn Robbins said he believes this is due to Oxford Electric operating in an urban area. “Squirrels have a larger playground in the rural areas,” Robbins said. “In town, the squirrels use power lines as transportation. We have a very high concentration with very little habitat.” To help prevent these outages,
both Oxford Electric and North East Electric use squirrel guards. The guard, which is a small piece of plastic, insulates the hot wire above the transformer, which makes it harder for the squirrel to connect the two. Oxford Electric gradually installs these guards when they repair a transformer and install them on all new transformers, Robbins said. “Since we put these safeguards in place, we’ve cut down our outages considerably,” Hayward said. “It’s expensive, but it is helping a lot.” Hayward said during the cold weather, the squirrels like the warmth of the transformers, which is where most of the problems come from. Robbins said more than a squirrel per week was killed in Oxford this winter. This can cause serious problems for electric departments and their customers, as well as the furry rodents. “Sometimes they cause major damage, and we have to go fix it,” Robbins said. “Other times we
find the squirrel at the bottom of the pole, and no damage is done.” The transformers, which are the large cylinders perched on top of power poles, are where most of these incidents happen. “When the squirrel gets on top of the transformer, his tail hits the hot wire and connects him to the transformer which is grounded,” Hayward said. “It electrocutes him, which usually blows a fuse and turns everyone’s lights out.” In most cases, the squirrel is shot off the pole, and the lights will only flicker or go out momentarily. In other cases, more serious damage can occur. “Sometimes the sheer heat and flame from the flash will crack the insulator,” Hayward said. “That’s when we have a lot of problems.” Hayward said these cracks allow moisture inside the transformer and can cause lights to blink daily for weeks until the problem is located. Most power lines will be run underground in the future, which will help alleviate the problem, Robbins said.

Ole Miss submits plans for new residence hall in fall 2012 BY CAROLINE DANIELS The Daily Mississippian
As numbers increase and freshmen classes continue to grow, changes around campus can be expected. The Department of Facilities Planning has proposed a threeyear plan that includes the destruction of Miller Hall to make way for a new residence hall that will house an anticipated 720 students. Department of Facilities Planning director Ian Banner said
the total cost for the project has yet to be determined because the administration is still planning the number of rooms the residence hall will contain. Banner said that each bed, along with the building and supplies for each room, will cost the University approximately $43,000, but the total budget may change depending on how many beds are added. Miller Hall, a two-story brick dormitory that once housed up to 120 students, now serves primarily as a site for offices and
administration. “With the building being 50 years old, it is past its useful life,” Banner said. Miller Hall is the most appropriate building site due to its central location on campus, Banner said. “We can’t make everything the center of campus,” Banner said. “But we want to keep students as close to the middle as possible.” Lorinda Krhut, director of student housing and residence life, agreed that Miller Hall was

plans in order for construction to begin. Banner said having to get approval from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the IHL was important in maintaining a fair check-andbalance system with the Department of Facilities Planning. Funding for the new residence hall will come from a combination of student housing fees and Educational Building Corporation bonds. Banner said he hopes the new residence hall will be ready by fall 2012.

ADDISON DENT | The Daily Mississippian
in aid requests, not all applications may be accepted. Students aren’t the only ones affected by the deluge of incoming freshman. Staff members all over the University are feeling the effects of having more students to serve. “The staff do have to work longer hours, but we look at it as an opportunity to be creative in our time management skills,” Khrut said regarding student housing. Likewise, financial aid staff members are working harder and longer to serve students. “Our staff members have worked very hard to serve the students and have put in extended hours on weekends, nights and early mornings, to accommodate the needs,” Brown said. “We know how important it is for students to have
funding on a timely basis for their semester expenses.” In the admissions office, 10 staff members and two temps manage a workload of approximately 50 applications per day. “We’ve honestly been having to manage, with applications up and our staff the same,” said Jennifer Simmons, assistant director for admissions. “We’ve just been trying to get all of them processed in a timely manner, which sometimes mandates over time.” Whitman Smith, the director of enrollment services, credits a number of things for this growing interest in the University. “There are a lot of people taking notice of the University that previously did not, because of a lot of

different aspects: good size, good price, good programs,” Smith said. In particular, he is a fan of the new eZing part of the Ole Miss website. EZing, which gets its name from a shortening of the new motto “Experience Amazing,” is a news feed of all the stories coming out of the University, Oxford and North Mississippi. Smith said eZing compiles all national news concerning Ole Miss. These new public relations approaches have helped boost what Smith said he believes the University already offers students. “I think the positive news that comes out of the University and Oxford can’t hurt us, and Brand Services has certainly helped,” Smith said.

Hanging “Big Todd Wade” at the Oxford Film Festival BY ANNA ELLINGBURG The Daily Mississippian
Imagine not gathering at the Grove or Vaught-Hemingway on game day. Instead, picture spending Saturday at the town square to witness a public hanging. This was reality for those that lived in Oxford in 1893 and a reality that Oxonians have now brought to film. The “Hanging of Big Todd Wade” is a Mississippi narrative short film that depicts Big Todd Wade, a larger-than-life fictitious character, who is sentenced for a crime he undoubtedly committed. We see the tough luck he endures from the time he is sentenced to the time he is sent to the gallows for his hanging. Todd Wade encounters bruises and rebuking along the way, but director Micah Ginn establishes a comedic twist to the film. “Obviously, (the film) has a dark comedy sensibility about it,” Ginn said. “It is about a very serious thing – the death sentence and execution. But the angle we’re trying to approach is
BY ANDY PAUL
not lingering on that so much. What we hope to show is the funny relationships and physical comedy that makes up the action of the movie.” This movie will only be eight to 10 minutes long, and Oxonians of all ages act as extras in the movie. “We wanted to generate a project that would play at the festival and would feature as many locals in front of and behind the camera we possibly could,” Ginn said. “It’s always a really big treat when there are lots and lots of locals that are in the films.” Needless to say, audience members are bound to see someone they know, whether from the Grove or the grocery, dressed as someone from the 1800s. The magistrate in the film who reads Wade’s last words is Oxford actor Johnny McPhail. w “One of the most incredible things that happened when we were shooting was that there was at least a hundred people out there in the snow, dressed in the 1800s garb and our director

says, ‘Anyone who wants a line can have one,’” McPhail said. “So you’re going to see all these great close up shots of these everyday, local people.” The Eighth Annual Oxford Film Festival will feature “The
Hanging of Big Todd Wade” as well as several other short films, all of which are competing for awards. “Comparatively, this festival is just as good as Sundance, but a 17th of the size,” McPhail said.
“This is the place if you really want to meet ‘the’ people.” Make plans to attend this family-friendly film and meet the people who brought this production to the screen at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12.
According to Andy: Walmart
Columnist
I was shopping at Walmart the other day because I collect items made by small Guatemalan children in sweatshops, and you do too. Let’s be honest with ourselves: It is a new year, and with that comes resolutions we will probably give up by mid-March. Mine was to be more honest. That, and to stop writing Natalie Portman letters about how I could make an excellent stepfather to her unborn child. Anywho, everyone knows that Walmart has about as much moral fiber as a stick of celery. That is to say, none whatsoever – this is probably because both the retail store and the vegetable are inanimate objects and do not possess the capacity for philosophical reasoning.
That said, celery does actually have quite a bit of dietary fiber. So you could say that, in some ways, a piece of celery is better for humanity than bigbox retail. Sorry, I am getting offtrack. We all know the all-in-one behemoth of consumerism does not always err on the side of – what is the word I’m searching for? – decency. But we go there again and again and again. Not just because they keep getting better Justin Bieber posters every week, but because they are just so darned convenient. Where can I get a can of tuna, a hot pink shotgun (I swear it’s there, look for yourself ) and the Blu-Ray edition of “White Chicks”? Nowhere, I tell you. That is why we ignore the facts.
As I was in the checkout line with my tuna and Wayans brothers film, I saw a couple of girls ahead of me looking at the gossip magazines. On their left was a periodical detailing a purportedly vicious breakup between Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. On their right was an almost identical picture of the couple with the headline, “Yes, They’re Together!” The girls had no idea what to do. They were completely at a loss due to this apparent error in space and time. I hadn’t the heart to tell them the truth of the matter. Sandra and Ryan care about those girls in the checkout line as much as Walmart cares about the tiny Central American children who sew their discount baseball caps with the bottle openers in the bills.
Created for your morning pleasure
The Daily Mississippian The STudenT newSpaper of The univerSiTy of MiSSiSSippi
I then began to wonder which was actually more unfortunate: those girls becoming upset over such a trivial subject, or me scoffing at them in my faux-ivory tower constructed by illegal, underpaid immigrant workers.
It was then and there that I gave up my New Year’s resolution and continued to scoff away. I also bought the magazine stating the Hollywood duo are still together, because I like being optimistic. Just being honest.

Where’s the hip-hop?

BY RYANNE FLANDERS Arts & Leisure Editor
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the Oxford music scene is indie. The Square boasts artists like JJ Grey & Mofro, Randy Houser and Bassnectar. While all of these shows are great, they don’t really appeal to a diverse audience. Currently, the most mainstream artist appearing in Oxford is Jimmy Eat World. Even though Jimmy Eat World has gained some mainstream success and notoriety, it’s certainly not a band everyone likes. This isn’t to take anything from the wonderful bands that come here, but some of the students say that their musical preferences are left out. When browsing the upcoming concerts in Oxford, there’s hard rock, indie, funk and
country. Unfortunately, this doesn’t bring in a new crowd. Upon asking students what they would like to see, there was a resounding request: hip-hop. “I know we need more hiphop on the scene,” Timber Heard, junior anthropology and journalism major, said. Students are missing out on what may be the most popular music style in the world. Hiphop is everywhere: from Tokyo to London to Atlanta. It seems that Oxford gets left out when certain hip-hop groups come to Mississippi. Jackson boasts artists like Wiz Khalifa, Nelly, David Banner and many others. They consistently bring hiphop names to their students and residents. Hattiesburg has also brought in some big names like Waka Flocka Flame and Three 6 Mafia. Even Starkville plays host to some hip-hop acts. Oxford may have the rare hip-hop act, but there is no regular scene for residents who like the genre. While many students are hip-hop listeners, it’s not the only genre they want to see more of in the area. “Alternative music is always good to hear or see,” Amber
AAUW to host book sale
Brooks, freshman forensic psychology major, said. “I’m not a really big fan of hardcore rap, but I do enjoy the old-school and R&B feel.” Alternative music is sometimes present in Oxford, but it can be too obscure for many students to know about. There are a lot of bands people aren’t familiar with in the area. “I’d like to see more mainstream acts,” Amber Brown, junior accountancy major, said. “I think it would be good to have a more diverse lineup in the area. We’re really lacking a well-rounded scene – we need pop, hip-hop, R&B, country, rock and blues.” These students don’t expect Diddy and Beyonce to play a show at The Lyric, but they do expect a broader variety of live music. Perhaps these artists don’t come to Oxford because they don’t know they’re wanted. Whether it’s reggae, hiphop, country or ancient folk music, Oxford would benefit from a wider array of concert opportunities. Diversity only comes when people speak up and let venues know what they want. So if you want interpretive bluegrass with underlying techno, find it, and ask for it.

The American Association of University Women will host a book sale Feb. 21-22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Union. “All proceeds from the sale will go to scholarships for University of Mississippi students and to the AAUW Educational Foundation,” said Amy Mark, Oxford branch president of AAUW and associate professor at Ole Miss. “It’s the world’s largest source of funding exclusively for graduate women.” Most of the money earned will benefit the Sarah Robinson Scholarship named for a teacher and 50-year member of AAUW. This scholarship was established for women majoring in English, education or gaining a master’s of fine arts degree. The sale is in memory of Jan Hawks, a former assistant professor of history at the University. She was also the first director of the Sarah Isom Center for Women’s Studies and the last Dean of Women at Ole Miss. “AAUW has had an active
branch in Oxford for more than 30 years,” said Christina Torbert, a finance and membership chair head of AAUW. “We have been conducting the book sale for more than 20 of those years.” In order to continue the annual book sale, the AAUW needs books. This is where students come in to play. Donations will be accepted until Feb. 20. There are three different dropoff sites in the Oxford area. On campus, donors can drop off books at the Isom Center. Other dropoff locations include High Point Coffee on Jackson Avenue and Kroger on University Avenue. The drive needs volunteers on Friday and Saturday before the book sale and the Monday and Tuesday of the sale. “I love book sales,” English major and past AAUW scholarship winner Katie Gandy said. “This eclectic collection is fun to peruse between classes, while also affordable enough for me to purchase one or several items.” For more information or to volunteer, contact Mark at aemark@olemiss.edu.

Today may be special for future of Ole Miss football BY ANDREW DICKSON The Daily Mississippian
Courtesy of L’Observateur
Floyd Raven, a cornerback from Louisiana, is just one of the many highly-rated football prospects that the Rebels are expected to sign on Wednesday.
Some people make following the weather part of their daily routine, while others keep it in the back of their mind but catch up on it when they can. Those that follow college football recruiting either follow it religiously or take a wait-andsee approach and make observations when the time comes. For those like me, that fall into the latter category, today is just another day on the calendar. But for those who follow the recruiting trail closely, it’s anticipated the way many others anticipate Christmas day. The players in the recruiting game are high school athletes – most of them are barely 18 years old. People who follow recruiting closely (or “Recruitniks”) often try to speculate what is going on in the mind of these athletes by reading interviews conducted between the prospects and the media. But the mind of a high school student changes with the wind. Their thoughts go back and forth in their heads just like the weather. Trusting them to behave predictably is analogous to trusting rain clouds enough to leave your umbrella
at home. As unpredictable as recruiting is, my “source” (a guy I sit next to at my other job on campus) pumped sunshine when I consulted him about our recruiting forecast last week, despite our 4-8 season in 2010. That prediction was also despite Mississippi State’s 9-4 record and the in-state emphasis MSU has put on recruiting lately. Houston Nutt somehow managed to “steal some of Mullen’s thunder” by picking a few coveted prospects off of the Mississippi State “commitment” list. Of course State fans were a bit baffled when their momentum (perceived or genuine) did not translate into instant recruiting successes. But considering how long these coaches have been recruiting these players (sometimes for two or more years), it’s obvious that their decision is not based solely on one good or bad season. But as with any highly rated signing class, fans from other programs will allege that our recruits are “afraid to compete” or that they are on an Auburnesque pay-for-play plan. I do not have to be reminded of Cecil Newton to know that some people have their hands out; Alabama was buying a defensive tackle for $200,000 10
years ago. Almost every program in the SEC has been on probation in recent memory, including the two programs in this state. This class addresses immediate needs with eight junior college transfers and some exciting young talent, but also offers a lot of depth. Nutt and staff did a great job of recruiting these players to represent their state by playing together and have raised expectations again by doing so. I usually judge a class two or three years down the line after we see who lives up to their billing and sticks around for three or four years, but there appears to be something special brewing in this year’s crop of players. McAlister, McCluster, Oher, Willis and Wallace – we’ve had the players on campus before, but this is the kind of class that gives you a chance to get multiple stars like that on campus at one time. The pessimist claim that Houston Nutt is on the downside of his career and that this is his last hurrah, but wishful thinking says a fire has been lit and that he will do whatever it takes to prove he can win this conference once before he calls it quits. Either way, it is safe to say that the rivalry is back.
Is social media a detriment to recruitment process? Rifle aims for NCAA Championships BY BENNETT HIPP
The Daily Mississippian
With the advancement of social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, the coverage of college football recruitment has changed dramatically. No longer are the days where fans wait until national signing day to see what highly rated recruits their school of choice signed. Recruiting has become an internet obsession of sorts, as college football fans rush to internet message boards and pay sites to get the latest scoop on their favorite recruits. Social mediums like Facebook and Twitter have provided an outlet for recruits – some have even committed to schools by posting it in a status update or a tweet. The move to social mediums like this isn’t always innocent fun, though. Facebook, on one hand, has become a nemesis of sorts to the nation’s highest rated football players. For some reason, fans of schools seem to think it’s OK to bombard recruit’s Facebook walls and private messages with comments encouraging the athlete to go to their school. Seemingly every status update, no matter the subject, is responded to by random older fans of schools
with messages like “Roll Tide,” “Hotty Toddy,” “War Eagle,” etc. What’s the reason for this? What goes through a person’s head that makes them think that posting on a 17 or 18-year-old recruit’s Facebook page who they have never met is going to affect where the recruit goes to school? If anything it hurts the school’s chances by doing this. In fact, these actions on Facebook may have helped Ole Miss land 5-star linebacker CJ Johnson. His Facebook had this status last Tuesday: “This is my last Facebook post, and I’m gonna leave facebook with this. Linda Johnson has never worked as a house worker making $100,000 a year, and I will not be a Mississippi state bulldog, and I’m not considering Mississippi state anymore because you have constantly comment on my page send me crazy inboxes and has made my recruiting experience a living nightmare. Goodbye facebook.” Are fans proud of themselves? Yes, Johnson is a 5-star player and the best player in the state according to Rivals.com, but he’s still a teenager in high school. There is a reason coaching staffs are paid to recruit these athletes – not John Doe sitting at his comput-
er at his house filling up a recruit’s Facebook page with comments about their favorite school. Not all advancements in social media and recruiting are bad though. Twitter has become the latest place to find up-to-the-second updates on recruits. Almost every pay site and recruiting analyst has a Twitter which they update daily with information on every recruit imaginable. It has become a staple on signing day, where news of signed letters of intents and signing day decisions are broken immediately after they happen. In fact, both Tennessee and Vanderbilt are tweeting signed letters of intent as soon as they arrive to the school’s fax machine on signing day, another ground-breaking and innovative move. Social media has increased coverage and made it easier for the average college football fan to find the latest recruiting info, but there is a definite downside to the use of it as well. Recruiting is supposed to be an enjoyable process for recruits and something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, so let’s all make sure to keep it that way by staying away from recruits’ Facebook and Twitter pages.
BY DAVID COLLIER The Daily Mississippian
The Ole Miss rifle team has one goal for the remainder of the season: to qualify for the NCAA Championships March 10-12. Qualifying for the NCAA Championships can be a difficult task. Half of a team’s qualification is based on their top three scores from the regular season, while the other 50 percent comes from the results of the NCAA Qualifier. The last time the rifle team qualified for the NCAA Championships was in 2006, when they were led by All-American Shannon Wilson. Ole Miss coach Valerie Boothe said she is hopeful that this year’s team can get back to the NCAA Championships with the leadership of seniors Meredith Holman and Colleen Tillson and junior Keely Stankey. With the NCAA Qualifier less than two weeks away, Boothe’s team seems to be peaking at just the right time. “This has been our best sea-
son in the last five years. The last time that we were in the position we are now was the only other time that the team had made it to the NCAA Championships,” Boothe said. “We haven’t had a team appearance since 2006. We are, right about now, where we were that year that we did make it. So we’re hoping we get the bid again.” After a good showing in El Paso, Texas against UTEP this weekend, the Lady Rebels hope to carry that momentum to a match against Memphis on Wednesday and the NCAA Qualifier on Feb. 13. Despite a sluggish start to the season, Boothe is excited about how her team is performing heading into the NCAA Qualifier and the Great America Rifle Conference Championship. “We are right where we need to be,” Boothe said. “We had a slow start, but now, we’re starting to heat things up.” The Lady Rebels hope to continue their stride towards the postseason as they take on the Memphis Tigers in Oxford on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.

Perhaps the three Ole Miss students in the first row of the student section wearing Kentucky blue provided enough motivation, but Andy Kennedy’s red-clad Rebels along with an inspired student section proved that they are not what their measly conference record would suggest. Chris Warren, Ole Miss’ senior guard, drained his 300th career 3-point shot and the biggest of his career with 2.9 seconds on the clock to give the Rebels (14-8, 2-5 SEC) a 71-69 win over No. 10 Kentucky (16-5, 4-3 SEC). It was the Rebels’ first win over a topten foe since 2002. Warren led the Rebels in scoring with 22 points on 9-of-15

shooting, making four of his seven 3-point attempts. “I’m not going to say I knew for sure (that the shot was going in) but I knew it looked good and from my angle it sure looked good,” Warren said. “It was a big shot. Hopefully I’ve got many more to come though.” The Rebels were also helped by the defensive play of sophomore forward Reginald Buckner. The Memphis native ended the game with 12 points and five blocks. One block with 6:37 left in the game led to a fast-break where senior guard Zach Graham was able to complete a three-point play. “I haven’t blocked a shot like that in a long time,” Buckner said. “It helped us out so we could win the game.” Along with a solid defensive play, the Rebels were able to force Kentucky into a seasonhigh 18 turnovers. Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy put the game in perspective minutes after perhaps his biggest win with the Rebels. “(This game) means nothing if you can’t put it together,” Kennedy said. “It’s time to start stringing wins together.” Warren said that the win was something he knew that his team could pull out. Player of the Game: Chris Warren As well as hitting the game winning shot, Warren ended the game shooting 9-of-15 from the field and going 4-of7 from the 3-point arc for 22 points. He also ended the night with three assists. Stat of the Game: Warren’s four 3-pointers in the game moves him in to 5th place in SEC history in career 3-pointers.
