Visitors in the Grove at the Ole Miss versus Alabama game, one of the season’s largest games, were treated to a live broadcast of SEC Nation as well as promotions by its approved corporate sponsors. An earlier article by The Daily Mississippian reported that there is a zero-tolerance policy for advertising in the Grove; however, throughout the day of the football game versus Alabama, campus visitors were subject to businesses advertising and political candidates campaigning in the Grove. According to Ole Miss Gameday, the official game day policy states that “solicitation is strictly prohibited. This includes personal, commercial or political advertisement or handouts.” Organizations such as the Our State Flag Foundation and the Ole Miss chapter of Turning Point USA openly distribute buttons, stickers and other materials promoting various causes at almost every home football game. The university’s chapter of College Democrats also campaigned for U.S. Senate candidates under a tent in the Grove during the Alabama-Ole Miss game. A handful of Mississippi’s candidates for U.S. Senate personally campaigned in the Grove on the weekend Ole Miss played Alabama. Jenny Johnson, the assistant director of marketing and fan experience for Ole Miss Athletics, said these political endorsements do not violate any laws and, therefore, cannot be regulated by university officials. The primary offices in charge of the enforcement of these policies include those of the

Farley Hall is home to the Meek School of Journalism and New Media, named for Ed Meek. Meek has requested the university remove his name from the school. Ed Meek requested on Saturday night that his name be removed from the School of Journalism and New Media — one day after the school’s faculty asked him to make the request and three days after his controversial Facebook post. “My desire ... is for the School of Journalism to be a global leader in Journalism education,” Meek wrote in his statement. “I recognize that the attachment of my name to the School of Journalism is no longer in the best interest of that vision.” Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter
commended Meek on his request for the name change in a statement released late Saturday night. “While his request tonight to remove his name from the Meek School of Journalism and New Media was made selflessly to permit the university to move forward, it is nonetheless regrettable and poignant,” Vitter said. Meek School of Journalism and New Media faculty met at noon Friday to discuss how to move forward after Meek’s Facebook post received widespread criticism and
national attention. The faculty group will meet again early Monday morning to discuss the school’s next steps after Meek’s request. A statement released by the school’s faculty on Friday evening asked Meek to request that his name be removed from the School of Journalism and New Media within three days. Also on Friday, Ole Miss Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter released a statement outlining the process for changing the name of a building on campus. The letter states that any proposal to change the school’s
name must be approved by the faculty of the School of Journalism and New Media, the Undergraduate and Graduate Councils and the Council of Academic Administrators. If those academic organizations approve of the name change, Vitter would then make a recommendation to Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning for a final vote. “This process is, by design, thoughtful and intentional,”

Downtown ordinance to affect bars financially GRACE MARION
THEDMNEWS@GMAIL.COM
Local bar and venue owners will be affected by the cost of complying with the new downtown ordinance by installing security cameras and using ID scanners — but some owners are unsure of exactly how much it will cost. “We still don’t have an exact figure on how much security measures will cost us, but it
will be in the thousands,” said Bradley Bishop, owner of the The Lyric Oxford, a concert venue on Van Buren Avenue. Some bars on the Square, such as Funkys, already have cameras. “I’ve had those in place just for liability purposes. If something ever happened, I’d say that I’m protected,” said Lee Harris, owner of Funkys on Jackson Avenue East. The ordinance will require cameras on the inside and outside of all venues that serve
alcohol. As for the other security measures, Harris said he has been too busy to look into them. “I haven’t even looked into it yet,” Harris said. “We’ve been so busy with these past few home games that I hadn’t looked what the cost (will be).” Despite having cameras already, Funkys will still have to pay the necessary cost for ID scanners. “I know it’s gonna cost something,” Harris said. “My

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK The Daily Mississippian has received a high volume of guest columns and letters to the editor over the past few days regarding Ed Meek’s controversial comments. Thank you all for reaching out to us and including us in this important campus conversation. Thank you for choosing our platform to amplify your voices. We hear you and are looking forward to publishing as many of these submissions as possible. As the story continues to develop, however, our staff has deemed some of these letters and columns outdated or not fit to publish, given new circumstances and the position taken by our staff editorial. Our staff is also taking some extra time this week to thoroughly vet these submissions and to confirm the identities of their various authors. This week, we are introducing an updated process for responding to authors of letters to the editor and guest columns. We hope this more
thorough publishing process will increase our transparency and improve our ability to represent the Ole Miss community’s voice. If you’ve written a letter or submitted a column to us this week, I hope this explains why you may not have seen your words published yet. We look forward to reading more of these columns and moving toward answers to the many questions that have surfaced in reaction to this critical story.

continued from page 1 Vitter’s statement reads. “It is open to input from students, faculty, staff and alumni, and it meets all accreditation requirements for changing organizational units on campus, including a unit’s name. We will follow this approach to consider any name change.” The Executive Members of the Graduate Student Council released a statement Sunday night in support of the administration’s actions in denouncing Meek’s post. “The person in question has asked that their name be removed from the School of Journalism,” the council’s statement reads. “We support this change ...We march together towards a future

far more honorable than the past we leave behind.” On Sunday night, Jim Zook, associate vice chancellor for strategic communication and marketing, said he didn’t know if the process for changing the name of the School of Journalism and New Media is still relevant since Meek requested the name change, but said Vitter’s statement about the process still stands. The Associated Student Body and Black Student Union met on Sunday evening to discuss the university’s next steps, following Meek’s request that his name be removed from the school. ASB President Elam Miller said it is critical that senior leadership at the university continues to hold town halls and involve students in upcoming decisions. “It is important that we continue these conversations regarding inclusivity of all
students further on our campus,” Miller said. “I believe that student input is key to the changing of the name, and I will continue to advocate for this, moving forward.” Jarvis Benson, BSU president, said that though BSU understands the end goal is to remove Meek’s name from the school, the group feels that “there was a missed opportunity for the administration to show a public effort of support for our students by publicly denouncing Ed Meek’s name and all (of his) connections to the university.” “I do feel that the school name change could happen in the near future,” Benson said. “However, I do believe that this name change should be a thoughtful process. The school and administration should clearly take into account the histories of … people who are honored with the school name (in
the future).” ASB and BSU released a joint statement Friday morning saying the two groups are working together to ensure all student concerns are heard. Miller and Benson both signed the statement, which demands that the university’s Senior Leadership Group, which hosted a forum Thursday night, release a timeline of next steps to the entire student body that addresses Meek’s “racist and sexist comments.” In addition, the statement also demands that the student body be represented in key meetings and conversations about the matter and calls for transparency and weekly reports from the Senior Leadership Group to the student body throughout the process. “I think this is a great step forward for the university, since the university has been striving
for years to change building and landmark names and add more context to the campus,” said Sam Cox, president of Rebels Against Sexual Assault. Ainsley Ash, vice president of Ole Miss College Democrats, said she hopes “the university follows through with (Meek’s) request.” “There is an overwhelming amount of support for the renaming of the journalism department, removal of the Confederate statue and an increase in policies that enhance the experience of (the) university’s minority students,” Ash said. “Whether or not these requests are met will reflect the university’s commitment, or lack thereof, to all of its students.” Ole Miss College Republicans declined to comment on Meek’s request for the name change.
Some venue owners don’t see the new ordinance regulations as something that will affect business. “I don’t think it will factor into … booking artists, and (I) don’t really anticipate losing business as a result of the law,” Bishop said.
Funkys doesn’t plan on changing its procedure of verifying patrons’ ages under the new ordinance. “We already check IDs really hard, so I don’t know that that’s going to have any effect on how I operate my front door,” Harris said.
Regardless of the potential complications, venues on the Square plan to comply with the ordinance rather than facing legal repercussions. “It is city law, and we plan to fully comply with the new ordinance,” Bishop said. “As far as the section of (the) ordinance
that deals specifically with The Lyric, we will work with OPD to let them know when we are having events.” The owner of Proud Larry’s declined to comment, and several other venues on the Square could not be reached for comment.

the university’s no solicitation policy, and its office was not informed by the athletics department that the business was going to set up in the Grove. After the office discovered the Facebook advertisement, Kathy Tidwell, director of Contractual Services and University Licensing, said she did what she could to minimize the business’s presence by restricting how and where it could promote its business in the Grove. “I made sure that they (McAlister’s Deli promoters) did not go out from under the tent and walk around the Grove … and that their presence was minimized as much as possible,” she said. When asked about the discrepancies regarding the solicitation policies in the Grove, Jason List, the associate athletics director for marketing and fan experience, declined to comment.

Pop-up restaurant replaces Dodo Pizza in Weir Hall KENDALL PATTERSON BRI SELLERS
THEDMFEATURES@GMAIL.COM
Dodo Pizza, a popular Oxford pizza option, officially closed its on-campus location in Weir Hall and has been replaced by a new pop-up restaurant called POP!. “POP! is a true pop-up venue with a revolving menu that changes weekly,” the Ole Miss Dining Instagram page reports. Pop-up restaurants are designed to be temporary, with limited and changing menus. Ole Miss Catering prepares and stores the food, which is brought over to POP! multiple times throughout the day, depending on the frequency of orders. The prepared food is stored in bags that are made available for students and faculty to grab on campus. Some students said that dining at POP! allows them to avoid waiting in the long lines that are common elsewhere on campus. “It’s really nice to be able to come by and just pick something up,” junior pharmacy major Drew Mulkey said. “It’s fast and ready to go.” Other students, however, don’t like that the food is premade and then delivered to campus. “I was disappointed that it wasn’t made to order,” senior business major Avery Tyler said. “(The food is) just sitting in bags ready to go.”

Staffers prepare the new POP! restaurant for lunch rush. POP! has replaced Dodo Pizza in Weir Hall. Chip Burr, general manager of Ole Miss Dining, said that POP! will experiment to identify which foods students like, while letting students try new kinds of food. One week’s menu, for instance, featured a falafel salad, while another week’s menu included Mexican street corn and grilled portobello tacos. “Maybe these things you normally wouldn’t try or normally wouldn’t see,” Burr
said. “It may be something that expands people’s culinary base.” POP! changes its menu weekly to revolve around different themes, and the successful items at POP! could be used on the menus of other restaurants on campus. Burr called the restaurant a “culinary incubator.” Dodo Pizza’s owners, however, have different feelings about the change. “Students say there aren’t
really any good pizza options on campus,” CEO of Dodo Pizza Alena Tikhova said. “It wasn’t our decision. We’d gladly come back.” One POP! employee, Lamarkus Banks, said people have been coming in hoping to find pizza, only to find Dodo Pizza’s oncampus location is no more. “One girl just walked away from the counter, stopped at the door for a few seconds, then sighed really loud and just left
pretty mad,” he said. Because the menu changes weekly, it is posted Wednesdays on Instagram @OleMissDining and on Twitter @Ole_ MissDining to keep students informed. “If students don’t take it with open arms, we’ll look at other options,” said Jason Puckett, a food service manager for Ole Miss Dining.

The Ole Miss Department of Art and Art History will host its first “Art21” documentary screening at 5 p.m. on Tuesday night in 209 Bryant Hall in an effort to teach viewers about artists from the 21st century. Art21 is best known for producing “Art in the TwentyFirst Century,” a PBS TV series that focuses on the technique and creativity behind contemporary art. Each episode depicts in-depth profiles and interviews with different contemporary artists. The purpose of the television series is to encourage exploration of new ideas in art. Kris Belden-Adams, an assistant professor of art history who specializes in the history of photography, organized the event. Helping her in this effort were her students, who have shared about the event on social media to reach the larger Oxford community and promoted the event at the UM Museum. “My students are making this happen and promoting the event,” Belden-Adams said. “It is a way for the community to learn about these artists.

having it (the event) where it is easily accessible to students.” The art department reserved a room that holds a hundred people for the screening. Belden-Adams said the department expects a lot of art students to attend but that the faculty hopes students from various majors take interest. The hour-long episode that the department is screening is “Johannesburg,” the first episode of the ninth and latest season of “Art in the Twenty-
First Century.” This episode explores the work of four South African artists from different backgrounds and generations, who use their art to examine the history and future of South Africa. The four artists featured are David Goldblatt, from Randfontein; Nicholas Hlobo, from Transkei; Robin Rhode, from Cape Town; and Zanele Muholi, from Umlazi.

Rebel Volleyball comes up short on the road against Florida JAKE DAVIS
THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM
The Ole Miss volleyball team fell to No. 11 Florida 0-3 (17-25, 12-25, 15-25) in Gainesville on Friday in its most lopsided loss of the season thus far. The Rebels were outmatched by a talented Florida team that struck early and often, playing stifling defense and efficient offense, forcing error after error. “It was a tough loss,” assistant coach Ronaldo Pacheco said. It was our first conference game, and we will use this game to figure out what we need to do for the rest of the season.” Freshman Aubrey Sultemeier and sophomore Leah Mulkey led the team with seven kills, although both posted hitting percentages below .200. Sophomore Lauren Bars led the team with 17 assists while also recording one kill, one block, six digs and two service aces. Senior Caroline Adams led the team

negative hitting percentages, as sophomore Bayleigh Scott and freshman Lauren Thompson both committed attack errors on their only attempts, resulting in a -1 rating. The Rebels hit .094 as a team, while the Gators posted a .363 percentage. The Rebels are averaging a .221 hitting percentage per game in their last five games, as opposed to the .300 they averaged per game in the seven games prior. A rise in attack errors appears to be the cause for this abrupt shift in momentum, as the Rebs had won eight in a row before dropping four of their last five. In their most recent loss, the Rebels committed 18 attack errors, 13 reception errors, six service errors and one block error, continuing their trend of limiting their own opportunities. During this stretch of four losses in five games, the Rebels have piled up errors and posted low hitting percentages. The Florida offense was led by redshirt sophomore Holly Carlton, who recorded 10 kills on an extremely efficient .833 clip. The Gators also recorded a whopping 13 aces, including
four each from sophomore Paige Hammons and junior Allie Gregory. The No. 11 team in the country also relied on its huge front line, posting 12 blocks as a team and committing zero block errors. All-American junior Rachael Kramer had five total blocks as well as five kills on a .625 clip. Redshirt senior Allie Monserez recorded a match-high 22 assists. When asked how the Rebels will try and move on from this loss, Pacheco simply said, “(We have) a lot of work to do.” The Rebels must now put this rough patch behind them as they move forward in conference play. Six of the team’s next eight games come at home, including home games against Georgia on Friday and Auburn on Sunday. Georgia is 10-3 on the season and 1-1 in SEC play, after defeating LSU on Friday and losing to Texas A&M on Sunday. Auburn is 7-5 this season, including losses to Tennessee and Alabama in its only two SEC matchups thus far. The Rebels will play Georgia at 6 p.m. on Friday in their SEC home opener before hosting Auburn at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Kizer becomes all-time leading scorer in win over Auburn CHANCE ROBERTSON
THEDMSPORTS@GMAIL.COM
Ole Miss came away with an important victory over No. 9 Auburn on Sunday, with a final score of 3-2. Despite conceding the night’s first goal and falling behind 1-0, Ole Miss quickly responded with a goal from Channing Foster less than two minutes later. The next two Ole Miss goals were goals for the record books. CeCe Kizer entered Sunday’s game one goal away from tying the all-time goalscoring record at Ole Miss, and in the 46th minute, the senior did just that to give the Rebels a 2-1 lead. After an Auburn equalizer, Kizer would come
up clutch once again in the 78th minute to give the Rebels the victory and break the alltime school record for points scored. Kizer’s record-breaking journey began in 2015, when she scored 14 goals in 23 games, and continued in her sophomore and junior seasons, during which she put up a combined tally of 21 goals, giving her 35 total goals scored heading into her senior season. Now, just 12 games into the season, Kizer sits all alone at the top of the record list. She broke Rafaelle Souza’s record for career goals scored, which was set in 2013, and Kizer’s goals couldn’t have come at a better time for the

The Rebels scored more goals against Auburn than they have in their last three games combined. Foster’s goal was her fourth of the season, while Kizer’s record-breakers were a teamleading 10th and 11th. The win over Auburn gave Ole Miss its second SEC victory this season, bringing them to 2-1 in conference play. Ole

Miss has now won both of its away SEC games. Senior goalkeeper Marnie Merritt played her third consecutive game with at least four saves, and the Ole Miss defense held Auburn to nine shots, which is noteworthy, considering Auburn had 25 shots in its last match versus LSU. Ole Miss handed Auburn its first loss of the season and became the only team thus far to have scored three goals on the Tigers’ defense this season. Ole Miss now sits at an 8-4 season record, and its next match is at 7 p.m. Friday at home versus No. 1 Texas A&M.

Five takeaways from the Rebels' victory over Kent State Later, with 9:25 remaining in the fourth quarter, immediately after the Ole Miss defense recovered a fumble in Kent State territory, the officials pulled the teams off the field again. This delay saw the field covered in water and brought a lengthier delay of an hour and a half. Playing games over five hours out of conference is a bit of overkill.

The Ole Miss football team has had an eventful trip en route to its 3-1 record. The Rebels’ road includes a convincing win over a Power-5 foe in Texas Tech, two wins against smaller programs and a blowout loss to the top team in the country. A lot of the same continued on Saturday: the offense moved the ball, and the defense gave up yards. Rinse. Repeat. Five points have become clear in the Rebels’ opening four games.
4. The defense created negative plays for the opposing offense.
1. D.K. Metcalf should be receiving more respect as a top prospect for the NFL Draft. For three years now, A.J. Brown has been the five-star receiver from the Ole Miss 2016 recruiting class to garner headlines. However, Metcalf is clearly establishing himself as the top billing man in the “Nasty Wide Outs,” and this is not because Brown has played poorly. Metcalf has just been that impressive. He makes plays all over the field and is a threat to score from everywhere. He can score just as easily on a screen pass as he can on a deep route. With his frame and build, Jordan Ta’amu just has to get the ball into Metcalf’s zip code to complete a pass. His 41-yard, one-handed grab in the end zone is as good a play you will see a receiver make. He will be eligible to enter the NFL Draft as a redshirt sophomore. If he does throw his name in the hat, the Oxford product will not wait long to have his name called. 2. The dominant play from the offense needs to translate to SEC play.

Quarterback Jordan Ta’amu hands the ball to Scottie Phillips during Saturday’s game versus Kent State. Ole Miss won the game 38-17. Even after the slow first half, the Rebels’ offense tallied 651 total yards on Saturday. The 38 points are not great against a Mid Atlantic Conference foe considering the weapons that Phil Longo has to work with. This game offered the offense a chance to rebound from a horrific performance a week ago while looking ahead to the first road trip of the SEC slate. Playing LSU at night in Death Valley
is never easy. The Tigers’ have NFL talent at every level of the defense. The offense has a quarterback who manages the game well, but, more importantly, Nick Brossette has established himself as a clear bell-cow running back. Matt Luke needs his offense to show up in a big way to compete against LSU. Do not expect a different result than the Alabama game if the offense puts up another egg.
3. Rain delays in nonconference games are not good. At halftime, the referees sent the game into a weather delay with lightning strikes in the area. This brings an automatic 30-minute delay. The delay was then extended with a few minutes left in the delay. This pushed the secondhalf kickoff back to 1:30.
In what was still a less-thanideal performance, Wesley McGriff’s defense made plays that were absent from the first three weeks. The defense totaled 14 tackles-for-loss, seven of which were sacks. Charles Wiley led the way with 2.5 sacks. Zedrick Woods added an interception and Mohamed Sanogo forced a fumble right before the rain delay. At this point, it seems futile to expect the defense to pitch a shutout or hold teams to under 300 yards. That is unrealistic. However, this is a recipe for success. If the defense can force turnovers, the offense can capitalize and score off short fields. 5. The defense did not give up an absurd amount of points. A 23-game streak of allowing more than 21 points was snapped on Saturday. The last time an Ole Miss defense had done this was week four of the 2016 season against the Georgia Bulldogs. Any step taken in the positive direction is a win for the defense. After weeks of hearing how bad they have been, today was an acceptable performance.
