Student activists take supplies, donations to Standing Rock
SLADE RAND
thedmnews@gmail.com
On the eve of President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, two Ole Miss students found themselves in 20 degree weather pulling in to a security checkpoint at Standing Rock Indian Reservation. The duo representing Ole Miss’ Popular Resistance club was made up of sophomore general studies major Jaz Brisack and senior mechanical engineering major Timothy Steenwyk. The two made this 66-hour and 2,887-mile round trip to the reservation toting a trailer fully loaded with firewood and hundreds of dollars in warm threads. “It was about putting your money where your mouth is. I saw it as a pushback against the slacktivism we can see out there,” Steenwyk said. In November 2016, Brisack began raising money through Popular Resistance, a club she started. She said her efforts yielded $1,500 in donations mostly from students and the Ole Miss community. $60 of that money paid for firewood from the Amish sawmill in Pontotoc, and the rest went toward coats, food and some ever-essential snow chains. “It takes so much work

since then demonstrators have built up a large presence in the North Dakota plains rallying against construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Brisack said
these activists refer to themselves as “water-protectors” instead of protestors. When the army announced plans to hold off on DAPL on Dec. 4, many protestors packed
their gear and headed back home. Trump re-ignited protestors like Brisack’s passion when he signed an execu

Oxford boutiques bring in sales on Jackson Avenue HANNAH WARE
thedmnews@gmail.com
The continuing growth of Ole Miss and Oxford has left local boutiques searching for convenient locations off the popular downtown Square that still bring foot traffic into their stores. Francesca’s and The Ivory Closet are two new boutiques beside one another in the new Highland Court Shopping Center off Jackson Avenue. They both opened fall 2016. Sarah Ciarloni, a sales associate at Francesca’s, said it works out well being next to The Ivory Closet because the stores complement each other. “It’s definitely different not
having the foot traffic from the Square because people are usually going from shop to shop,” Ciarloni said. “But I think that more or less, people come here because of the prices versus the Square.” Francesca’s is a clothing chain with stores across the country. Ciarloni said this helps the Oxford location because a lot of the customers specifically come in to Francesca’s having already shopped at one of their other locations before. “People who are familiar with Francesca’s know our prices will be cheaper than what they would find at shops on the Square,” Ciarloni said. Journalism major Taylor Lewis said she shops at Fran-
cesca’s since it is open later than most of the shops on the Square. Next door, The Ivory Closet is a local boutique with other locations in Southaven and Memphis. They don’t have the name recognition like Francesca’s, but Allison Lee, a sales associate at The Ivory Closet, said being off the Square has been good for business. “Our location is not as busy, and there’s better parking,” Lee said. “The shopping center is also starting to grow, and we’ve got some good stores coming in around us.” Journalism major Anna

GUEST COLUMN:
Why I am still hopeful for the next four years KIMBERLY DANDRIDGE thedmopinion@gmail.com
In the past year, but particularly in the months since Nov. 9, we have been forced to deal with the harsh reality that our nation is severely divided. Our generation, in partnership with our first black president, has pushed society toward social justice and change, yet it is clear that racism is still very much a factor in our lives. Blatant acts of hate don’t surprise me– I’ve experienced enough of them. But I refuse to believe that our nation is forever doomed. Back in 2009, as a freshman at the University of Mississippi, I ran for homecoming court. Despite being told that, as a black girl, I should pursue the title bestowed by varsity athletes, not the entire student body, I pushed for the student body-elected position. I won. I was filled with optimism until a few weeks later,
when the KKK arrived on campus for a protest. They were wearing white robes and carrying Confederate flags. Racism was clearly alive and well. During my sophomore year, a traditionally white sorority invited me to be the only black member of its Ole Miss chapter. A few weeks later, a blog post appeared under the headline “Phi Mu Accepts African American Girl – Laughing Stock On Campus.” I felt isolated, worthless and powerless, with little ability to avoid judgment based solely on the color my skin. Racism was clearly alive and well. Finally, during my junior year, inspired by President Obama’s campaign for a second term, I ran for and was elected to the position of student body president of Ole Miss. I was the first black female in the university’s 164 year history to do so. I believed that if our president could be a voice for others– those who looked like

him and those who didn’t– so could I. Shortly after my inauguration, a student denounced my election, addressing me with racial slurs. As you likely guessed, racism was clearly alive and well. The reality– or at least my reality as a black American in a predominantly white environment– is that there are always going to be people who are for you and people who are against you. Running for office helped me learn that lesson very quickly and sometimes very harshly. I learned that we have choices to make. We can react out of anger or we can react out of love. We can push the envelope and break down barriers, or we can stand on the sidelines furious and bitter. We can all agree that there is a lot of work to be done in this country. But I know we can do that work, because I’ve started trying to do a small piece of it. When I attended a 2012 campaign event in Tennessee, first
lady Michelle Obama hugged me and told me, “You’re next.” She too sees hope in our generation. Her encouragement is a big reason why I chose to spend the spring of 2015 interning at the White House. I went back to the White House the week after the election for an intern alumni event. Many of us were still in shock about the results. But I was inspired to hear what members of the administration have planned. There are 4,000 people leaving the White House this month armed with the ingenuity that helped them get there in the first place. They will go back to their communities with the momentum the administration has built and the ability to affect change and spread hope, light,and values that our generation can stand behind. People give millennials a lot of flack, but we are the generation that will change the world for the better. We stand for op-
timism, hope and strength for our future. Yes, President Obama’s eight years in office are ending, but his legacy will be felt throughout our country for a long time to come. His presidency marked a new beginning, and it proved that someone who looks like me could make it to the highest office in the United States. Knowing this, we must take the ultimate initiative to become more engaged and active than ever before. If my time as president of Ole Miss taught me anything, it is that we have the power to overcome hate with love. We have the power to energize, heal and unite our nation. As President Obama steps out of the Oval Office for the last time, we still have the power to make a real difference. Kimbrely Dandridge was the 2012 Associated Student Body president and a 2013 Ole Miss graduate.

tive action ordering that the Army Corps of Engineers take further consideration into completing DAPL on Tuesday. When Brisack and Steenwyk arrived at Rosebud camp on January 19, Brisack said between 600 and 800 activists were still sticking it out in the cold. “Protests are definitely down from what they have been,” she said. “But we could still see lots of army surplus tents from veterans set up right next to all these teepees.” Brisack said the campground represents an inclusive idea of collective liberation. The rows of flags lining the camp’s main road supporting rights for other groups as well, from PalesCOURTESY: TIMOTHY STEENWYK tinian freedom to homosexPopular Resistance founder Jaz Brisack (right) poses with Standing Rock elder ual rights. She said even the Rose Tompkins during her trip to take donations to the reservation. composting toilets in camp progressively offered gender-neutral options. “Everyone there is much more in tune with what’s going on in the world than anything I’ve ever seen,” she said. The national outbursts following Trump’s swearing-in have not had much of an impact on the demonstrators’ work, Brisack said. The immediate concerns of nourishment and protection take precedent instead. Brisack said helicopters circled overhead and Humvee trucks accented the horizon throughout her time at Rosebud camp. Steenwyk said the daily battle against the elements combined with the looming military presence clouded the camp with an air of suspense. “You feel united, but you’re on your toes,” he said. Steenwyk said he joined forces with Brisack because she was truly getting her boots on the ground and making it possible for others to get their money on the ground. Leaving Standing Rock, he said he had a stronger sense of the people’s lives and livelihoods affected by the pipeline. “We’ve got to understand that they are people just like you and I who have found themselves on one side of a situation,” he said. “Whenever we let these issues encroach on others, it sets a dangerous precedent.” Brisack said the conflicts surrounding this pipeline are important because the battleground isn’t overseas or in the political realm; it’s on Americans’ home turf. “This is actually right here in America,” she said. “It’s our own people. And this cowboys and Indians mindset, it’s in our own backyard.”
Gibbs said she often shops at these stores off the Square because of the lower prices. “Sometimes I go to the Square and find something that I like, and then I will go to Francesca’s or The Ivory Closet and find something similar but for a better price,” Gibbs said. “I also feel like this way I’m not necessarily getting something that everyone else has.” Kaleidoscope, another local boutique, has been in Oxford since 1996. It was originally located on the Square but has since moved to the Oxford Galleria Shopping Center off Jackson Avenue. “When we first moved off the Square, I thought we were

going to lose business, but we didn’t,” Angel Webb, Kaleidoscope owner, said. “We don’t get the Saturday football traffic, but right now we are the only store in town that carries Free People, so people will come search us out for that.” Webb also said parking is an advantage to locations not on the Square, especially as the price for parking on the Square continues to rise. “Francesca’s even has signs that read ‘Francesca’s customer parking only,’ so if you park there it also makes you feel like you have to go inside,” Gibbs said. “The Square is famous,” Webb said. “You’re definitely going to get more foot traffic on the Square, but I think off the Square people are going to intentionally come and see you.”

TEDxUM speakers gear up for second annual event
After last year’s inaugural TEDxUM, the team that put together the event didn’t waste time in making next year’s even better. A team of more than 40 people helped organize the event this year, according to Georgia Norfleet, who has led efforts to hold TEDx at the university since planning the 2016 one. “Choice, Chance, Change” is the theme for 2017 TEDxUM, reflecting the many steps and decisions one might make in college to achieve his or her goals. “Our theme speaks to our campus community in so many ways,” Norfleet said. “As a university, we influence change across the state, and as students we make decisions during our four years here that shape the rest of our lives.” TEDxUM, in fact, is meant to promote great ideas and disseminate them to the benefit of the university community. Norfleet said the eight speakers chosen to speak at the event have raised the bar. “Each of them are of such high caliber and are bringing incredibly engaging ideas to the stage,” she said.
ANNE QUINNEY
By: Zoe McDonald French author Albert Camus— and his work published in English— was the central starting point of Ole Miss French professor Anne Quinney’s TEDx talk. She’s researched how the philosopher and author’s work, through editing, translation and cutting, was censored by editors and translators in the 1950s and 60s. Some of his work was cut by up to 40 percent, Quinney said. “When I was reading the reviews of his works that first came out, his COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU critics were complaining about how unsubtle his arguments were. The arguments didn’t make sense, but they do in the original. If you’re cutting out half of it, there’s no way for it to sound smooth or logical or coherent, and so that’s not his fault, but it’s in the editorial process that that happened, and then he wasn’t allowed to see it when it came out. And a lot of very famous works of literature were kind of butchered in this way,” Quinney said. She pointed out that the Grimm brothers’ fairy tales also fell victim to cycles of censorship through mistranslations and cuts. “Those two things together… you can wind up with something that looks nothing like the author wrote,” she said. While the editing process is still rigorous today, Quinney said, authors are often more involved. Now, she says people should look out for books getting censored and banned by citizens, libraries and municipalities. “Ultimately, it’s about how our access to information, our access to books, has always been limited in one way or another,” Quinney said.

JOSH MABUS
By: Austin Hille Although many TED Talk speakers are heralded for their success and persistence in their respective fields, TEDxUM speaker Josh Mabus admits that he has not fit this bill for most of his life. “I am speaking from the platform of being an expert quitter,” Mabus said. COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU “In working with everything from our region’s best and brightest startups, some of our worst, some of our region’s best long-term legacy businesses. I’ve seen so much... failure and quitting.” And although things may have not worked out so much in the past for Mabus, his latest business in Tupelo has seen an unprecedented level of success. It was 2008 when Mabus identified what he calls a “creative vacuum” in the Southern region of the United States. It was this realization that pushed him to create the Mabus Agency, an advertising agency unlike anything Mississippi has seen before. “There were plenty of people who needed advertising and creative services and were not being served well just because [reputable agencies were located too far away],” Mabus said. “Because of that, the level of creative work was abysmal in the area... We are in business to raise the creative bar and to help people.” The agency has since worked with some of the South’s biggest and most upand-coming brands and has expanded to form a second office in Jackson. As an Ole Miss alum, as well as a volunteer for the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which is a part of the school of business, Mabus was a natural candidate to speak at this year’s TEDx event. He received multiple nominations from various faculty members at the business school and was eventually selected as one of the final speakers for tomorrow’s event. “We are going to be unpacking the difference of quitting and failing and why that is important,” Mabus said. “There is a sense that people have convinced themselves that those two are interchangeable when they are absolutely not.”

LIFESTYLES SHANNON COHN
By: Devna Bose Shannon Cohn, esteemed filmmaker and activist, will be speaking on endometriosis, a debilitating disease that affects millions of women worldwide. The rural Mississippi native earned a law degree from Vanderbilt University and practiced international law before discovering her true passion of filmmaking. COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU She attended the graduate film program at Tisch School of Arts in New York City and was inspired to create a documentary called “Endo What?” to change the “devastating narrative” of endometriosis. An estimated 176 million people are affected worldwide by the condition, but most people have never heard of it. She described the documentary as “the first step in creating widespread awareness and education about endometriosis.” It takes an average of 10 years and eight doctors to diagnose the disease, and within that time frame, sufferers are forced to leave careers and abandon dreams and relationships. Often, they are told that the pain is normal or they are imagining it. Cohn created “Endo What?” to inform audiences of the disease and provide accurate knowledge about steps people can take to make the best choices about their health. “It’s more than a film— it’s a tool to take control of your health,” Cohn said. “I have endometriosis, and my two daughters have an increased risk of developing symptoms. I’m trying to work toward a future where they and millions like them don’t have to needlessly suffer.” During her TED Talk, she will ask and attempt to answer the questions, “What does the widespread prevalence of this misunderstood, devastating disease say about the world we live in and what do we all risk by ignoring the voices of so many women?” She plans to explore the troubling phenomenon and why women’s pain has been often historically dismissed. “To date, it’s screened on six continents and started a global conversation,” she said. “We’re currently in production on a second film to be released later this year, which approached endometriosis as a social justice and human rights issue. That’s the next step.” Cohn is excited about the opportunity to educate a wider audience. “I consider it worthwhile if even one person recognizes the symptoms and seeks appropriate care,” she said.
PATRICK WOODYARD
By: Devna Bose According to Patrick Woodyard, CEO and co-founder of Nashville-based fashion and lifestyle brand Nisolo, the possibilities after graduating with a Croft degree COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU from Ole Miss are endless. A graduate of the University of Mississippi, Woodyard was a member of the Croft Institute of International Studies and the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College while he attended Ole Miss, and he studied global economics and business, Latin American studies and Spanish. Woodyard was inducted into the Student Hall of Fame and served as the Associated Student Body director of community service as well as the philanthropy chair and vice-president of Sigma Chi Fraternity. Woodyard was the founder and president of Hope for Africa and a founding member of Respect Mississippi. He was struck with the idea for Nisolo after working in microfinance in Trujillo, Peru, where he met a group of shoemakers who possessed “remarkable talent yet lacked access to consistent work, capital and established markets.” Woodyard created Nisolo with the vision of “delivering a superior product to consumers, while at the same time maintaining the well-being of producers at the forefront of brand’s philosophy.” Nisolo is considered a highly respected brand on the forefront of the ethical fashion movement. Leather shoes and accessories for men and women by Nisolo have sold out in all 50 states in the United States of America and more than 60 countries, and the livelihoods of more than 300 men and women are supported by the company. Woodyard has been recognized as an “Innovator Changing the South” by Southern Living Magazine and named a Global Accelerator Entrepreneur by the United Nations for his work with Nisolo.
KATHERINE DOOLEY
By: Hannah Willis If you attend TEDxUM this Saturday (and you definitely should), you will hear from Katherine Dooley, an associate professor of physics COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU and astronomy here at Ole Miss. If those two subjects hold no sway in your mind, her topic will impact you regardless of your major. “Even though science is often portrayed as having its heroes like Einstein,” Dooley said, she’ll talk about how scientific breakthroughs more often “depend on the collaborative work of people from all over the world with all sort of expertise.” Dooley and her associates have just this past year benefited from a partnership with Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory Labs. Because of the collaboration between the Ole Miss physics department and LIGO, among others, their discovery “signifies the opening of a new type of astronomy” that allows scientists to now “listen to the universe.” Physics might not be the first thing that pops in your head when you think of the University of Mississippi, but this discovery could possibly impact history more than any football game ever could. While gravitational wave research might not apply in your day-to-day life, Dooley cites the far-reaching impact the cutting edge technology used for the research might have. Funding through universities can “often tackle more fundamental aspects” of research than research in the private sector. “Through questioning the very basis of which our knowledge is built…we can make breakthroughs in science.” Dooley and her colleagues did indeed make that breakthrough, and viewers can learn all about it at this Saturday’s TEDx presentation.

By: Zoe McDonald What is the relation between a phrase that became popular in the 2000s and World War I? A lot, according to Susan Grayzel, who will be presenting a TEDx talk on the slogan and poster “Keep COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU Calm and Carry On.” The slogan was designed during the air raids in WWI and was never publicly displayed during the second World War, according to Grayzel, who is a professor of history at the university. “I have a longstanding interest in the costs that war inflicts on non-combatants, especially women. I was finishing research for my book ‘At Home and Under Fire: Air Raids and Culture in Britain from the Great War to the Blitz’ and was struck (like many others) by the appearance of this sign and its many variations. “What seemed missing from public conversations was an exploration of what caused states to need to tell their entire populations (men, women and children) to ‘Keep Calm and Carry On,’” Grayzel said. Saturday, Grayzel will explore the relation between air raids and the innocent civilians who were involved in them.
DR. JOE CAMPBELL
By: Lexi Purvis Ole Miss is hosting a series of TEDx speakers including Dr. Joe Campbell, the chief of anesthesia at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg. Campbell said that he decided to go into the medical field after breaking his leg in junior COURTESY: TEDX.OLEMISS.EDU high. He went on to attend UMMC for medical school in the ‘80s and went to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston for anesthesia. Campbell has been working in the medical field for roughly 41 years after starting work at a hospital when he was 18 years old. He’s now been a doctor for 33 years and has been in his practice for almost 30 years. Campbell’s talk will discuss the new uses of the old anesthetic drug known as Ketamine. Campbell has found a link between the use of Ketamine and its effect on patients suffering from depression. Campbell believes that Ketamine reduces suicidal tendencies in patients who have depression. “We are on the cusp of a new type of treatment for one of the leading causes of death,” Campbell said. He started doing research on this medical phenomenon when he came across an article in Bloomburg which he will discuss more during his upcoming talk. “This will be a revolutionary way to not only treat depression, but suicidal ideation,” Campbell said.

Local head shop turns trash into treasure CARLYLE OWEN

The City of Oxford is one of many towns whose recycling program does not include glass due to lack of funds and available machinery. “We don’t recycle glass because of the cost,” Oxford Superintendent of Sanitation Amberlyn Liles said. “Everything else recycled in Oxford is able to be sold, but not glass. There’s no value in glass. That’s why we encourage people to buy plastic or aluminum...because we do recycle those things in this area.” The people of Slackers Supply, a local business, are doing their part to reuse and repurpose glass waste. “One of my first jobs when I moved to Oxford was a liquor store, and I noticed the volume of glass bottles being sold,” Slackers Supply co-owner Tom Edwards said. “Here at Slackers, we decided to turn them into glass smoking devices...instead of them

going in the trash, we can now turn them into a useable, functional device.” Slackers Supply is a head shop (a store dedicated to selling tobacco pipes and smoking pieces) in Oxford. Co-owners Edwards and James Funk have come up with an incentive for residents and students to save their liquor bottles from going to the landfill. Customers who bring in 16 glass liquor bottles receive a water pipe repurposed from one of the bottles. Customers can also get one for free if he or she allows one of the employees to pepper spray them on camera. They use the videos for advertising purposes. These pipes are available at the store for $35. For Oxford residents who wish to recycle their glass waste, one of the closest options is driving the glass to Memphis, Tennessee. Even there, it is only possible to recycle clear, brown or green glass bottles. They also must be cleaned. Junior Peyton Thomas makes the drive once a month with any glass bottles
he collects from his friends or from day-to-day use. “I just felt weird throwing it all away,” Thomas said. “I use a lot of products that come in glass bottles, and it seemed so wasteful to let them end up in a landfill when they could be used for something better.” Majority of Oxford residents that recycle do so through the curbside recycling program or local dropoff locations. “The process of recycling glass can be very complicated, and the machinery can be very expensive,” Kendall McDonald, Ole Miss Office of Sustainability spokesperson, said. “In Oxford, recyclables are sorted by hand, so recycling glass can be a safety issue as well.” There have been several petitions over the past few years appealing to city officials to acquire the equipment needed, but none of them have amounted to anything. Slackers Supply remains the only business in Oxford to officially recycle glass.

Ole Miss basketball set to face No. 4 Baylor Saturday SAM HARRES

The Ole Miss Rebels (128) will tip off against the No. 4 Baylor Bears (19-1) at The Pavilion Saturday. Baylor, led by Johnathan Motley, a 6-foot-9-inch power forward, represents a serious challenge for head coach Andy Kennedy and his players. “They’re an outstanding team and a legit final four contender,” Kennedy said. “We’re just trying to manage games as best we can and give ourselves a chance to win.” With Wednesday’s 80-76 loss to Texas A&M still fresh in their minds, the Rebels are looking to bounce back and maintain their tournament aspirations. Kennedy does not plan on making any special adjustments to his team ahead of Saturday’s game. “Our view has never been anything other than ‘guys, we’ve gotta get get better.’ That’s what I’ve been saying since day one, and that’s what I’m saying now. We’re not talking big picture– We’ve just got to get better. Reinvent ourselves.” Ole Miss was badly out-re-

bounded by the Aggies, 3923, and sophomore Terence Davis knows Baylor will be just as good on the boards. “We definitely will take a look at it. I mean, you can’t just look over something like this once you get out-rebounded by 16,” Davis said. Justas Furmanavicius Junior forward Justas Furmanavicius charges toward the rim in a game against Texas A&M earlier this season. Head coach Andy Kennedy hopes to fix a poor rebounding situation by holding individuals accountable. The rebounding situation hasn’t escaped the coaching staff’s eyes either. It’s a problem, Kennedy says, that needs to be dealt with on an individual basis. For him, it comes down to accountability. “I see Justas and Justas fights and he tries but you know he played 32 minutes and gets one defensive rebound. (Marcanvis Hymon) plays 19 minutes and gets two defensive rebounds. We’ve got to rebound the ball,” Kennedy said. On Wednesday, the Baylor Bears narrowly edged past Texas Tech by a score of 65-61.

And the reason being that he is so physically gifted; he’s long, he’s athletic and he’s strong,”
Kennedy said. Adding to the adversity the Rebels will face, Kennedy has been forced to deal with a constant plague of injuries this season. “We’re moving guys around. And when (Deandre Burnett) got hurt and now the Rasheed (Brooks)
