THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1884

High hopes: Prescott holds rank in Heisman race

by Zach Wagner Staff Writer

With five weeks remaining in the college football season, including the conference championship games, Dak Prescott still holds a spot in the Heisman race, which is starting to clear itself up a little bit. For the most part, it is known who the major players are going to be over this final stretch of the season, but some lingering questions exist that have yet to be answered. For instance, it is still unclear who the hands down favorite is as of this very moment, as different major networks and media personalities disagree between two key players. It is also still questionable whether the offthe-field exploits of Jameis Winston will definitively keep him away from the most prestigious trophy in all of college football. It is also fair to question what actually is the criteria for deciding the winner, as one will hear many different interpretations through various sources. Before highlighting the five major players as of today, the attempt will be made to answer some of these questions first.

The Mississippi State University 2014 homecoming week officially started Sunday and concludes Saturday. The week offers many activities, including a comedy show featuring YouTube sensation and Wild ’N Out performer Emmanuel Hudson.

Peers Assisting with Students, the Black Student Association and the Student Association collaborated to present the Homecoming Comedy Show. The show will begin at 7 p.m. in the Bettersworth Auditorium of Lee Hall. Although a ticket is required, they are free and can be picked up at the Holmes Cultural Diversity Center office or at the door.

Jayln Johnson, treasurer of BSA, said events like these are important because laughter has such a unifying effect on people.

“Laughter brings such happiness and joy. Comedy shows make you forget about the bad things in your life. Midterms are finally over, and now it’s time to sit back and relax. This is the first time that we have collaborated with SA, and I expect they will bring a lot

of diversity to the event,” Johnson said. “Everyone is in for a really fun time, and we expect a good turn out.”

Last year’s comedy show featured stand-up comedian Finesse Mitchell. This year will be the second annual comedy show.

Jemario Gordon, president of BSA, said Emmanuel Hudson is perfect for the comedy show because he can connect to the audience.

“It’s just a scientific fact that laughter has a strong effect on people. For me, it is all about delivery. You can present anything to Emmanuel, and he will make it funny,” Gordon said. “The biggest thing about him is that he is actually from Mississippi. A lot of our generation can connect to him. Laughter keeps me sane, and I bet it’s like that for many people.”

Fredrick Wilson, SA co-director of homecoming, said the show will enhance the overall homecoming experience.

“When we were deciding on a performer, we were just throwing names around.

We started with Kevin Hart, but financially that just wasn’t possible. When we finally said Emmanuel Hudson, it just stuck in our minds,” Wilson said.

HEISMAN

CONTINUED FROM 1

The debate will rage on until the presentation takes place in December, and there still exists a number of chances for both to show the voters why they deserve their votes.

Prescott still has two massive road games against Alabama and Ole Miss on the schedule, which will also help clear up the SEC West race as well as the college football playoff bracket.

Prescott may not have had his best showing on the season, but he made key plays when it mattered for his Bulldog squad. He finished his night against Arkansas with 331 yards passing, a touchdown and two interceptions in the first half. Prescott also added 61 yards on the ground, even with his injured foot. In continuing to be the most important player on the No. 1 team in the nation, Prescott will stay at the top of the Heisman conversation as long as Mississippi State stays in the national spotlight.

Mariota has three regular season games remaining, one of which is against No. 17 ranked Utah next weekend and the other two against unranked opponents. While it may be too early to speculate whether both will get the opportunity to play in their conference championship games, it is safe to say they have the chance to show what they are made of in the upcoming weeks.

Turning the attention over to Jameis Winston for a moment, the question has been posed by some whether Winston has any chance of winning the Heisman in light of his transgressions off the field. If former

Heisman winner Herschel Walker is any indication of what past Heisman winners think of Winston, then the odds may be against him.

In a recent interview with Paul Finebaum on his radio show, Walker said a player’s character matters in the Heisman race.

“Being an athlete is more than just playing the game.

Being an athlete is doing a lot more. I didn’t vote for Jameis because of that. And I may have been wrong for that. But in my opinion, the Heisman Trophy is supposed to mean integrity,” he said. “At that time, there was not integrity, because of the situation that happened at that time. Today, until his act is cleaned up, I can’t give him my vote.

I’ll say it right now, I can’t give him my vote.”

There are those who view the Heisman as an on-thefield award. Those people will keep Winston afloat in the race, and realistically, he won last year after being investigated for sexual assault. At the end of the day, it may be fine to assume Winston has as good of odds as the other players, as long as he does not actually receive any substantial suspensions for the rest of the season.

In quickly recapping the criteria for the Heisman, it is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football in the United States whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. There have been many who question what excellence is in college football. Is it strictly related to on-the-field activity?

Should academic or offthe-field achievement be factored into the equation?

Those are the questions

KVNG

that have spurned debate over the past couple of years, as players surrounded by controversy, such as Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel and Jameis Winston have found themselves at the center of the Heisman discussion. If a player proves himself to be the best player on the field, it will be hard for the voters to justify not giving that individual the award, unless something truly horrific can be presented that changes the entire conversation altogether.

Lets look at the past weekends of the five individuals who, as of Saturday night, pose the best odds of being invited to New York City this December. With apologies to Auburn’s Nick Marshall, TCU’s Trevone Boykin and Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah, who all have had excellent seasons, we will start with Jameis Winston. With his team on the ropes against Louisville last Thursday night, Winston showed America that he’s unflappable, even when faced with a 21-point deficit. He finished the game with a stat line that read 25/48 for 401 yards passing, with three touchdown throws and three interceptions as well. The three interceptions were not great, but voters may be able to overlook them to some extent, seeing they came against statistically the number one defense in the country, and Winston still was capable of overcoming his own mistakes to get the win. In all, Winston showed great poise on the night and kept his Heisman chances very much alive.

Next, is Alabama’s wide receiver Amari Cooper.

He and his teammates had their bye week this past weekend, but in recapping his season stats, its easy to see why many view him as the sleeper in this year’s Heisman race. Cooper has 71 receptions on the season for 1,132 yards and nine touchdown grabs in his eight games played this season so far. Many have described Cooper as “explosive,” including Ole Miss’s coach Hugh Freeze as he said in an al.com

COMEDY

FROM 1

“It is beyond time for Mississippi State homecoming to be boosted.

Emmanuel Hudson is not just a punch-line comedian, but a real multifaceted performer,” he said. “The audience will really appreciate him. Bringing in this level of entertainment will put us where we should be.”

article, “Cooper is arguably one of the top three receivers in the nation, if not the best and he’s been super explosive.”

If Cooper has monster games versus Mississippi State and Auburn, then it could very well be Cooper’s name that gets called in six weeks.

Moving north for a second, Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon continues to be one of the most consistent and effective running backs in the country. On

Saturday he had 19 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns to make it his seventh time this season he has gone over 120 yards rushing on the season. He has a total of 1,296 rushing yards on the season with a very good average of 7.5 yards per carry as well. He looks to be a lock to at least get the invite to attend the Heisman ceremony.

As mentioned earlier, Marcus Mariota displayed a great performance on Saturday against the team

that has caused him more problems then any other over his career (in Stanford).

He finished the game with 258 yards passing, two touchdowns and only his second interception of the season. In addition to this, he added 85 more yards on the ground and two touchdowns, to earn the win against Stanford. Mariota has risen each week since the loss against Arizona in the minds of the voters and does not look to be slowing down anytime soon.

Counseling services provides guidance, help for students

by Myra Rice Staff Writer

Student Counseling Services at Mississippi State University offers a variety of services and a source of comfort for students.

According to a survey posted on usatoday.com, nearly one in every 10 students seeks mental health counseling.

The survey states in 2014, there has been an increase in cases of depression and stress.

According to Student Counseling Services at Mississippi State University, a safe and confidential environment is provided to students in search of help.

Student Counseling Services is located in Hathorn Hall 115C under the direction of Leigh Jensen.

In 2013, usatoday.comreported 1,100 college students committed suicide.

The counselors on staff specialize in areas ranging from depression, self-esteem, grief and loss to relationships and roommates.

Coordinator of Mental

Health Outreach Kim Kavalsky, specializes in self-empowerment, substance abuse and suicide prevention at Mississippi State University. Kavalsky said she serves as a source of support for students across campus.

to determine how often the services are needed.

Most issues can be resolved by the staff Monday through Friday between the

hours of 8 a.m. through 5 p.m.

More serious issues may be referred off campus by counselors.

Yvette Harris, licensed professional counselor who deals with sexual assault prevention, depression and healthy relationships, said she strives to maintain professional confidentiality when counseling students.

“I provide confidential services to all enrolled students at Mississippi State University,” Harris said.

“Services include individual therapy, group therapy, crisis intervention, referral and consultation.”

Most services are free of charge to MSU students.

Among its female staff, the center also has male counselors available.

Chris Turner and Keenyn R. Wald are on-staff counselors at the center.

Turner, who is a national certified counselor, also specializes in LGBT concerns. Wald works with sports counseling and performance.

The center also offers advice to students who wish to refer a fellow student for counseling.

Japan-America society to introduce JASMIS through banquet reception

by D.J. Wormley Staff Writer

The Japan-America Society of Mississippi ( JASMIS) will host a reception Nov. 13 at Mississippi State University to introduce the society to MSU and the Starkville community.

Mieko Kikuchi, board of directors for JASMIS, said the event will include a presentation from some representatives from JASMIS as well as two special guest speakers.

“We are going to have a speech to introduce JASMIS and we will have Peter Kelley,” Kikuchi said.

“He is the president of the National Association of Japan-America Societies and Consul-General of Japan in Nashville Motohiko Kato to speak,” Kikuchi said.

Kikuchi said it is important to host the event because of the growing interest in Japanese culture.

“Interest in the community is increasing, and it is important that we strengthen the relationship between Japanese and American culture,” Kikuchi said.

According to Kikuchi,

Mon.-Thurs: $.25 Martinies at Lunch Mon.: $2.00 Margaritas 9-12pm Tuesday is Ladies Night!

JASMIS provides opportunities for the Japanese and Americans to collaborate.

“The Japanese Program gives us a chance to work together, get to know each other and understand each other. It gives us a chance to fi nd similarities between Japanese culture and American culture,” Kikuchi said.

Thom Eason, treasurer of JASMIS, said MSU became included in the JASMIS organization with the construction of a new factory.

“MSU became a member of JASMIS when Yokohama Tire began construction on their new factory in West Point, Mississippi,” Eason said.

Eason said JASMIS is a non-profit organization and hosts various types of programs and events.

“We are an all-volunteer society. None of our board or officers receives compensation for the work everyone does. Therefore, our members are important to us, as we do not have any full-time staff to raise funds,” Eason said. “We exist on the membership fees we receive and sponsor donations when we are trying to put on larger events, such as bringing musicians

or sword masters from Japan to Mississippi for performances. We also have business seminars when we can get some good speakers to come down, and we are available to anyone in the state that needs assistance with Japanese culture or language.”

Motohiko Kato, consulate-general of Japan and one of the speakers at the event, said he believes this event will broaden people’s minds about Japanese culture.

“People need to have an open mind and broaden their horizons, and the Japanese need to feel comfortable coming to the United States,” Kato said.

Kato said he would like young people to gain more knowledge about how the Japanese do business so they can fi nd great jobs.

“Young students should learn business culture so they will be able to fi nd better opportunities in the Japanese job market,” Kato said.

Kato said he believes students at MSU could benefit greatly from this event.

“Students should learn about foreign culture, fi nd out about opportunities

in Japan after they leave MSU and learn about the Japanese/U.S. alliance and U.S. relations,” Kato said.

Such pieces may be hailed as forward thinking and exemplary of works of integrity, representing great strides in defeating cultural scourges such as sexism. Yet self-examination is of irrefutable worth, here and everywhere else. I submit even an infinite amount of such articles, even those much more sensible and virtuous, would not put a dent into the unyielding juggernaut that is the carnage being wrought by the magazines responsible for publishing them.

Today our renown will not come from action overflowing with uprightness or speech dripping with virtue, but we will be made famous for our promotion of our own marketable assets, be they physical, social or otherwise, with our alternative being to embrace anonymity. This is what is common, and this is also the problem.

Perhaps “Men’s Health” should encourage men to examine their heart instead of their prostate. Maybe “GQ” should seek to divorce their stylish ways from the use of female sex appeal to sell their grand vision of what a modern man truly looks like.

I leave you with the words of the character Tyler Durden from the prolific film Fight Club: “The things you own end up owning you.”

If you subscribe wholeheartedly to the philosophies of our “GQ” world, whether or not you subscribe to the magazines themselves, I feel it will not go well for you.

Their ideology has in the past poisoned my mind, and I plead with all men, young and old, not to let it poison theirs.

Freedom of press is an important clause in the fi rst amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As media professionals we enjoy a certain freedom other countries don’t. Shouldn’t we respect this and be held accountable to our readers and viewers? As journalists, for whom do we work? Isn’t it the general public? My allegiance as a journalist is to the Constitution and then to the citizens of this country. If my readers will be hurt by seeing a disturbing picture, I should ask myself, “why am I publishing this?”

Personally, I am very optimistic of this profession; as journalists we play an important role in society.

We hold people accountable for several things; our motto has always been and will always be, citizens fi rst, common men, women and children above anything else. In conclusion, I hope the editorial board of Opelika-Auburn News spends quality time debating and discussing the decision to print and the explanation that followed.

Pumpkin spice everything: fall arrives

by Samantha Jones Staff Writer

It’s time to break out the leather boots and cardigans. As we drift further into the heart of autumn, students are geared up for what some consider their favorite time of the year, a time of sweaters and scarves, leaves turning, pumpkin spice, hit TV shows and football.

Ayesha Hicks, senior chemical engineering major, said her favorite things about autumn consist of fall fashion, and the holidays.

“Scarves are my favorite. You can wear them with anything,

and they can transform any outfit,” she said. “I love being able to go home for fall break and Thanksgiving break to spend time with my family. Getting a break from classes is also a plus.”

Autumn is also the time when coffee shops begin to serve holiday drinks. From Starbucks’s signature red holiday cups to Strangebrew’s caramel apple cider, fall is a time when coffee connoisseurs rejoice.

Fall also produces some of the most beautiful scenery and unpredictable weather, which for some creates a more comfortable campus atmosphere.

Phatozja Kennedy,

junior elementary education major, said she really enjoys fall weather.

“The weather is so nice.

It gives me a reason to drink more coffee and eat a lot of soup,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy also feels television is more interesting in the fall.

“Old Halloween movies and reruns are the best, not to mention ‘Scandal’,” she said.

Stephanie Fields, a non-traditional senior interdisciplinary studies major, said she also loves the autumn atmosphere.

“I love everything about fall, from the smell, the unpredictable temperature, to the color of the trees,” Fields said.

“Taking nature walks

with my grandkids to watch the animals and feed the birds is my favorite fall pastime.”

Although many love the constant change

“I love everything about the fall from the smell, the unpredictable temperature, to the color of the trees.” in temperature, it is an inconvenience for others.

Fantasi Curry, senior industrial engineering major, said although the erratic weather pattern makes for an uncomfortable atmosphere, when the

around, it is extremely hot, which can be a little uncomfortable when you have layers of clothes on,” Curry said. “However, if I had to choose a fall favorite, it would be slouch boots and blue jeans.”

To some, autumn is just another season. To others, autumn is the grand fi nale of the year.

It provides breathtaking outdoor scenery, special time to spend with the family, cardigans and boots and not to mention pumpkin spice everything.

Aside from this time of year’s unpredictable weather, students fi nd joy in the little pleasures which come along with the fall season. Campus is flooded with autumnloving students, which can be attributed not only to the frequent holidays from class, but also the comfortable atmosphere, and let’s not forget this historic, unforgettable football season.

Mississippi State University’s Student Association has officially kicked off its 2014 homecoming festivities.

The theme of this year is “In Maroon We Trust.”

Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. there will be a free concert in Lee Hall’s Bettersworth Auditorium featuring Young Buffalo.

There is no cost to attend the concert, but tickets are required and students may pick them up at the Center for Student Activities, Suite 314, in the Colvard Student Union or at the door before the event starts.

Young Buffalo is an indie rock band from Oxford, Mississippi, consisting of Ben Yarbrough and Jim Barrett. The pair began to write music together when they were teenagers and went on to form their fi rst band during high school.

In 2009, Barrett selfrecorded an EP under the name “Young Buffalo,” which marked the beginning of their new career. The recordings ended up being wellreceived locally, and the duo brought the Young Buffalo project to life.

Jamia Brown, sophomore fashion major, said she joined SA this semester. She said this year’s homecoming will be one for the books.

“Being a part of SA has been an amazing

experience thus far. It brings so much joy to me to know that I contributed to the excitement of homecoming and the events planned,” she said.

“The concert is just one of the many great events the students can look forward to.”

Music Maker Productions (@Music_ Maker) took to Twitter Sunday to inform the students and staff about their location and free tickets.

“Our ticket table is up and ready in the Union to give away FREE (@ YOUNGBUFFALO) tickets for tomorrow’s FREE SHOW. Come by and see us,” MMP tweeted.

Fans can also look forward to the concert.

Bonnie Brumley, senior art major, demonstrated his excitement via Twitter as well.

“Yo! People!

Free show in Lee @ 7:30 next Tuesday. Chasing Edom opening for Young Buffalo.

Mississippi bands, so come check it! @Music_Maker.”

Other events include a Holmes Cultural Diversity Center sponsored comedy show featuring comedian Emmanuel Hudson, a #TBT movie night showing of “The Little Rascals,” the annual homecoming parade and the National Pan-Hellenic Council Step Show.

MSU volleyball falls to Auburn, prepares for Ole Miss matchup

by Zach Wagner Staff Writer

On Halloween night the Mississippi State University women’s volleyball team was unable to gain the victory against Auburn.

The Bulldogs were again plagued with a slow start coming out of the gate, which has been a consistent problem for the team this season. After they settled into the game, they established a certain amount of rhythm, and they fought back to make the last two sets highly contested.

However, a narrow defeat in the fourth set sealed their fate for the night, as they fell 3-1 to the Auburn Tigers to fall to 1-10 in SEC play.

Head Coach Jenny Hazelwood pointed to her team’s slow start as the main factor that hindered its chances of winning the match and said it continues to be a problem.

“Just a really slow start.

That was really disappointing because that was a match that we knew we could be competitive in, and it’s like we were timid to start,” she said. “Once we lit a fi re under them at half-time, we were playing really good volleyball after that. We just had given Auburn way too much confidence at that point.”

In the fi rst set of the match, the Bulldogs really struggled to gain their footing, as they fell down early 10-5 after the Tigers strung together a 5-0 run, which included three straight kills from Stephanie Campbell.

The Bulldogs tried to rally as a Chelsea Duhs kill brought the Bulldogs within two points at 22-20, but the Tigers were able to win three out of the next four points to take the set 25-21.

Matters looked as if they would improve early on in the second set. Both teams exchanged points throughout the fi rst half of the set until Auburn broke the pattern and proceeded to go on a 7-1 run to close out the set with the fi nal score of 25-16. The set was highlighted by seven kills

by Auburn middle blocker Macy Reece and five errors on the part of MSU. To their credit, the Bulldogs came reenergized out of the halftime locker room, and it showed on the court in the third set. MSU was able to jump out to a 10-6 lead before Auburn fought back to within two points at 11-9. It was at this point the Bulldogs grabbed control of the set as they went on a 6-0 run, thanks to some great overall team play.

From there things were relatively comfortable for

MSU in the rest of the set.

They were able to hold onto their lead all the way to the end, as Reece’s attacking error gave the Bulldogs the 25-18 victory, making the overall score 2-1 in favor of Auburn.

The Bulldogs tried to carry this momentum over to the fourth set but found themselves down for the large majority of the remaining points. Facing an early deficit of 10-5, the Bulldogs were able to eventually fight their way back to tie the score at 20 apiece.

Then with the score deadlocked at 23, Auburn was able to win back to back points after an attacking error from Duhs and an Auburn kill from Emily Klitzke to set the fi nal 3-1 score in favor of the Tigers.

After the match, Duhs said a focused week in practice will go a long way to improving.

“I think we had a great opportunity to win, and we didn’t take advantage of it tonight,” she said. “We’re just going to work harder this next week in practice and work on our defense as well as being stronger in our blocking.”

Along with this, junior Alex Warren said getting into a rhythm early is something the squad seeks to improve.

“We start slow because we’re always a little step behind. It’s not like we want to start slow,” she said. “That’s the one thing we want to work on, is to being the team that starts strong and fi nishes strong.

The thing is we have the fi nish strong part, we just don’t have the start strong part yet.”

The key contributors of the night for the Bulldogs on offense were Duhs, Warren and Emily Howard.

They had 14, 11 and 11 kills, respectively, for the Bulldogs. In additon to this Shelby Anderton fi nished the match with 39 assists to go along with her two kills and eight digs.

Defensively, the Bulldogs were led by Peyton Harris, who fi nished the game with 23 digs, marking another 20-dig game for the freshman standout. Junior Katlyn Mataya added 10 digs to the Bulldog cause.

Altogether, the Bulldogs know what they must do going forward if they want to be successful. They next play at home on Wednesday against Ole Miss, and Hazelwood described the game as winnable.

“That’s another match that we know we can be very competitive in,” she said. “The fi rst time we played them at their place, we didn’t even have a number of players playing in that game that are playing now.

It’s a match that we know if we execute, then it’s one that we can defi nitely win.”

MSU lost to Ole Miss in the fi rst match this season 3 sets to 0. The fi rst serve is set for 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Newell-Grissom Building. The game will be televised nationaly on ESPNU. The Bulldogs will try for their second SEC win this season.

Mallory Eubanks was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team last Sunday.

Eubanks became the first Mississippi State University Bulldog to earn the award for the soccer team since Bethany Frazier in 2005.

“We’re very excited for Mallory being named to the SEC All-Freshman Team,” Head Coach Aaron Gordon said in a press release. “We knew we had a good player when we recruited her. Now the rest of the league has recognized her as that player as well.”

The Bulldogs were forced to start and play freshmen the majority of the season. MSU brought in 19 freshmen this season as Gordon continues to overhaul the soccer team to fit into what he wants to accomplish as the coach.

“It’s especially exciting for our pro-

gram because she’s the first to make the team since 2005,” Gordon said in a press release. “It speaks to the type of player that is coming to Mississippi State and the type of player that will be here in the future.”

A MSU team that was at times starved for points looked to the freshman throughout the season for a spark. Eubanks led the team with five assists on the year. She also added in a goal this season. Eubanks started all 18 games and played the entire game for 10 out of 11 SEC conference games. The Lexington, Kentucky native logged a total of 1,563 minutes during her freshman campaign.

The Bulldogs finished the season with three wins and failed to win a SEC game.
