The
inside
Have you ever looked around the bar and said to yourself, “Wow, that kid looks like he’s 14.” Well, he might have been.
During the first half of 2011, the Oxford Police Department charged approximately 50 in-dividuals with possession of false identification; however, this number represents only a small portion of the fake IDs that were seized in Oxford this year.
“The number of 50 can be a little misleading sometimes,” OPD chief Mike Martin said. “A lot of times when an officer catches you in possession of alcohol, and you have a false ID, they’ll only charge you with the minor in possession and just seize your ID.”
This number is also mislead-ing because it doesn’t include the IDs seized and turned over to police by private security working at bars and events. Martin said this brings the to-tal number collected and de-stroyed each year well into the hundreds.
John Darby, who worked as a bouncer for the last year at Funky’s and now is at Roost-er’s Blues House, said that in
addition to the ones that are confiscated, many fake IDs recognized by doormen are not collected.
“There are some bars that will take the ID, and then there are other bars that just turn you down,” Darby said. “There’s not really a set pro-tocol as far as being required to take the ID or anything.”
While fake IDs are not new, advancements in home com-puter technology in the last 20 years have changed the land-scape of fake ID production. Large-scale print operations with high-quality printing presses are no longer neces-
sary to produce fake IDs.“Nowadays, with the com-
puter software and the qual-ity of printers that you have available, it’s made it a whole lot easier for people to man-ufacture false IDs,” Martin said. “And some of them are really good. You have to look twice at them. Sometimes three times.”
The common sight of high-quality personal printers in college towns has made the production of fake IDs much easier; however, it is another type of false identification that is much more prevalent in Oxford.
“What we see the most is people that have other peo-ple’s IDs,” Darby said. “You get someone who will go to the DMV and say, ‘I lost my ID,’ and their friend will give them the money to pay to get a new one.”
Underage individuals using another person’s ID present unique challenges for law en-forcement. Unlike an altered form of identification, which is illegal to possess, possessing someone else’s driver’s license is not illegal until you try to present it as your own.
One Ole Miss junior, who requested to remain anony-
mous because of the legal implications surrounding this issue, said she uses her older cousin’s ID. The student said she uses it for access more than she uses it to drink un-derage.
“All my friends are already turning 21, so I’d like to get into the bars they can get into,” she said. “It’s not so much drinking. It’s just to get into where my friends go on the weekends.”
While the penalty for pos-session of a fake ID is stiff, it can also create legal problems

The Board of Alderman ad-opted a proclamation recogniz-ing Rob Treppendahl, Bowman Hitchens and Max Zoghbi for raising over $20,000 for Interfaith Compassion Ministries, in front a full court room.
The three men raised this mon-ey by making a sponsored kaya-king trip down the Mississippi River, from Lake Itsca, Minn., all the way to the river’s end in New Orleans. They called the initiative “A Wake In the Current.”
The 2,300 mile long trip took up 61 days. Each day Treppen-dahl, Hitchens and Zoghbi would sleep outside. The trip was made to raise awareness of what home-less people go through.
Treppendahl is a former stu-dent of the University of Mis-sissippi and Hitchens is a cur-rent Ole Miss senior. Zoghbi is a graduate of Louisiana State University.
Through their adventure, the three raised over $20,000 for In-terfaith Compassion Ministries and over $19,000 for the Gardere School in Baton Rouge, which helps give under privileged chil-dren a quality education.
Larry Ridgeway appeared on
behalf of Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones to read a proclamation stating that this week will forever be known as “A Wake in the Cur-rent” week to honor their efforts.
Governor Haley Barbour also sent a proclamation recognizing the men for their accomplish-ment, which was read by Dean of Students Sparky Reardon.
The three accepted the proc-lamations before presenting the check to Interfaith Compassion Ministries at the meeting.
“Oxford has been my second home.” Zoghbi said.”I want to thank everyone. To be a part of this community has been amaz-ing.
“Yeah we’re up here, but to be
clear, this isn’t about us. We’ve had a lot of prayers behind us, and we thank you.”
All of the gear used on the
kayaking trip was donated by Ole Miss Outdoors, which plans on showing off the kayak for the rest of the students to see.

There are too many people on this campus.
I love Ole Miss, and I’m glad so many people are in-terested in the school.
However, if I have to park at my apartment, walk to school and arrive late to class because I can’t find a parking spot even though I started looking 45 minutes before my class starts, then we have a problem.
If you commute, you know what I’m talking about.
It takes getting here by 8:30 a.m., at the latest, to find a spot, and earlier than that if you want one anywhere near your class.
In the past two weeks, I’ve seen cars parked in parking lots but not in actual spaces. I have even seen cars parked in the grass.
This is getting a bit ridicu-lous.
The university admitted 1,111 more students this year than last year, and we were already crowded then.
This addition caused a lot more students to have to live off campus, which means a lot more people are commut-ing.
I may come off as a whiny brat, especially when I could walk, ride my bike or take the bus to class, but that isn’t al-ways a viable option.
Some of the entrances to campus lack sidewalks, mak-ing it dangerous to walk.
And what are we supposed to do when it rains, snows or is just ridiculously hot or cold outside?
What if the bus is late or I misread the schedule?
If the university is going to admit more and more students every year, then we should be sure that there is
adequate room to accom-modate such a large student body.
Ole Miss has always been a fairly small campus, and that’s something that drew many of us here. It was quaint and felt like home.
Now, it feels as though we have the student body of a much larger campus crammed into our smaller one.
I’m not opposed to growth so long as there is room for it.
Chancellor Dan Jones said there are plans to expand the dining facilities.
That’s a start. But it is far from being the
only problem presented by having such a large amount of students, and while search-ing for a parking spot for an hour feels like hell, there are bigger problems than that as well.
What are we going to do when classes begin to fill at a much faster rate and people get set back in finishing their degrees because they can’t get into the classes they need?
We’ve always claimed to be the “Harvard of the South,” but Harvard is exclusive and limits the amount of students it accepts.
I don’t hate freshmen, and I don’t think we should stop admitting students.
But I do think there is room for a lot of discussion on the issue and how to address it.
Adding more students without adding more park-ing, larger dining facilities and more living spaces just seems careless to me.
We may be getting ahead of ourselves with all of this growth.

Growing painsBY MEGAN [email protected]
Hurricane Irene pummelled the Eastern seaboard recently, es-pecially damaging New England states like Vermont.
Ron Paul claimed the United States has no need for FEMA in the wake of this disaster, say-ing that the federal government does more harm than good when meddling in states’ affairs.
This statement from the presi-dential contender especially drew criticism from the Left and pro-vided yet another reason for peo-ple to call him crazy.
Looking at the aftermath of the hurricane, however, something stands out: America has plenty of helicopters in Afghanistan and Iraq but not enough for Irene.
This hurricane is likely one of the 10 most costly natural disas-ters in American history, with an expected recovery totaling be-tween $7 and $10 billion.
This, however, is what America spends in one month on war.
All six of the Vermont National Guard’s Black Hawk helicopters are overseas, forcing the Green Mountain State to borrow he-licopters from New Hampshire and Illinois to dispense supplies to flood victims.
This situation is greater than the downfalls of populism that Ron Paul was talking about. Irene reveals the hypocrisy of every mainstream Republican or Democrat who has not yet made a full-fledged conversion to the Tea Party.
Both Republicans and Demo-crats are socialists — it’s just a matter of where the politicians think is the best place to spend our tax dollars.
The Left prefers welfare at home, while the Right prefers warfare abroad.
This paradigm completely di-vides America and allows big government to conquer.
The Tea Party is the only group fighting to end the stronghold of establishment politicians and would like to begin by ending our wars.
The boldness of the Tea Party will either make it or break it, but the colloquial criticisms of the Tea Party are unwarranted.
The Tea Party and the Ron Paul movement certainly advo-cate an America that sounds ar-chaic and medieval — a world without a Department of Edu-cation, IRS, FEMA or any other forms of the nanny state.
However, we could finance all of our entitlement programs until we’ve found a free market solu-tion for them — if we just cut out the wars.
America can fix the welfare state in time, but the warfare state is bankrupting us a lot faster.
When the Tea Party is criticized by the Left, it actually hurts what

The University of Mississippi is known for its prolific alumni.
Specifically, we are known for running the table in politics in the state of Mississippi. Trent Lott, one of the most respected congressmen in United States history, attended Ole Miss. Both U.S. senators representing Mis-sissippi, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, attended Ole Miss. Mississippi Attorney Gen-eral Jim Hood also walked the campus in Oxford.
The current governor of Mis-sissippi and ground-breaking former lobbyist on Capitol Hill,
Haley Barbour, also attended Ole Miss.
These are just a few of the im-pressive names who received di-plomas from Ole Miss and who are involved in Mississippi state politics.
We run this state. Look at the list of current and
former Mississippi governors, congressmen, mayors, judges and attorneys.
They share something with all of us: they bleed red and blue. Something they don’t share in common with many of us now is that they are from Mississippi.
Last year, Ole Miss announced that the majority of its under-graduate students are from out of state.
For most of us, this comes as no shock. Oxford is convenient-ly settled between large South-ern cities like Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, At-
lanta and St. Louis. It seems like half the people I have met in the last two years are from Texas or Georgia.
Atlanta Braves hats and Dal-las Cowboys shirts are running rampant on campus.
In one of my classes recently, we had to go around the room and say where we were from.
Without exaggeration, about 10 percent of the class was from Mississippi.
I immediately became an out-sider in my own state. As if that wasn’t terrifying enough, the professor asked the class who planned to stay in Mississippi af-ter we graduate from Ole Miss. Of the 80 to 90 people in the class, I was literally one of three who raised their hands.
How exactly are we supposed to carry on the Ole Miss legacy of running state politics if so many out-of-state students will
leave after college? This was just one class of 90
people – hardly enough to gen-eralize the whole university; however, I have gotten the sense that this is the case.
TSBU (The School Beneath Us) is claiming Mississippi as “their state,” citing the high per-centage of in-state undergradu-ates. Sadly, Ole Miss has taken the back seat to potential future students. Instead of vamping up the advertising to high school students in Mississippi, we have increased advertising in the out-of-state metropolitan areas that I mentioned earlier.
The administration is per-forming an absolute injustice to the legacy, honor and tradition that is Ole Miss. In my not-so-bold prediction of the week, I believe that Mississippi State University will run the table in Mississippi politics in 10 to 15
years. I am completely open to
change, as is the university, clearly. I am not trying to hate on out-of-state students — we do, in fact, love you, too.
However, the university is in the process of degrading our heritage and our history by ad-mitting too many out-of-state students to the university.
Our admissions department needs to get it together.
The solution to Mississippi State bragging about its in-state students is not to go out of state to recruit outsiders who most likely will not contribute to the good of the state. This is the University of Mississippi — we should start acting like it.

the Left fights for as well.Even Republicans who aren’t
conservative enough to want to scale back our forces should re-consider their beliefs.
Despite record defense spend-ing, allocating it to war has ig-nored the basic needs of the mili-tary.
Our Joint Strike Fighter is years behind schedule, the Navy’s rail-gun was defunded by the Senate in June, and a fifth of the Navy’s ships aren’t in deployment condi-tion.
These all leave America with its tail between its legs should we ever encounter a real threat, not
just some tribesmen living in the deserts of the Middle East.
This isn’t just fiscally insane but also anti-military and arguably anti-American.
It’s also tough explaining why every member of the Democratic Party simply hasn’t joined the ranks of the Tea Party over the past few years.
The DNC called forth Presi-dent Barack Obama to allegedly steer the nation to safety and vin-dicate the anti-Bush sentiment. Obama has only expanded upon the neoconservative crusades of his predecessor.
The wars in Iraq and Afghani-stan have not only continued, but also have been augmented in Lib-ya, Yemen and Pakistan.
The Patriot Act and Guantan-amo Bay, which may serve some
purpose even if not in the eyes of Democrats, still exist under the Obama Administration.
Even Obama’s socialization of health care, the most populist leg-islation he’s passed, isn’t a land-mark issue to most Democrats and will likely be shot down in the Supreme Court in the com-ing years.
The party of our country is no longer just the Republicans, and the party of the people is no longer the Democrats. The Tea Party is filling that void.
The next time you consider criticizing Tea Party members for being extreme, you should simply thank them and ask them to be more extreme.

Intitiative 37 was approved and certified by Delbert Hose-mann, Mississippi secretary of state, yesterday.
Director of the Colonel Reb political action committee, Ar-thur Randallson, filed the inti-ative to seek the reinstatement of Col. Reb as the “official and sole mascot” of the University of Mississippi.
In order for the intitiative to appear on the 2012 Miss., presi-dential election ballot, 100,000 registered voters must sign the petition, according to the press release. The signatures must be divided evenly amongst the former five Mississippi Con-gressional Districts.
State Rep. Mark DuVall filed legislation earlier in 2011, that would have forced the univer-sity to use Colonel Reb as it’s sole mascot and would also force the band to play both “Dixie” and “From dixie with love” at football and basketball games.
The legislation never even made it to a vote.
Last spring student members of the Col. Reb foundation de-livered over 4,500 petitions to the office of the chancellor.
In the fall of 2010 students and season ticket holders voted employ the Mississippi Black Bear as the new on the field mascot.

for bars, and its employees can be charged with serving alcohol to minors. Darby said this is why so few bars on the Square choose the 18-and-up admission policy.
“It’s always harder to en-force that everyone drink-ing is 21 when you have an 18-and-up bar,” he said. “If it’s 21-and-up, you cut down
on a lot of that.”Martin said the front lines of
the fight against fake IDs are at the doors of bars. OPD offers classes to help train bouncers and business owners on how to spot fake IDs. He also em-phasized the importance of bar employees not relying on patrons having been in the bar before or having a wristband to signify they are 21.
“As a waitress or bartender, you cannot just rely upon the bouncer to do their job,” Dar-by said. “I don’t care who’s
on that door; if I was the bar-tender or the waitress, I would check your ID.”
The University Police De-partment also makes a hand-ful of arrests each year for fake IDs. Captain Michael Harmon said they come across them during searches and arrests, especially during the fall.
“As a rule, we don’t gener-ally look for it,” Harmon said. “But we find more in the fall because of football, parties and Rush.”

City officials debated on the authorization of the sale of sil-ver recently found during the closing of the sale of Baptist Memorial Hospital.
Two-hundred thousand dol-lars worth of silver was discov-ered in a safety deposit box that was once owned by the hospital’s original administra-tor.
Forty-two bars of silver will be divided between the city and the county.
Officials discussed the sale of the silver.
However, the city is enter-taining the idea of keeping two of the bars to make com-memorative coins for the city’s 175th anniversary next year.
Silver coins were made for the city’s 150th year.
“Next year is the 175th an-niversary,” Mayor Pat Patter-son said. “It would be neat to make a keepsake out of this.”
Patterson first mentioned the idea at a special meeting on August 26.
Patterson asked that the
city temporarily hold two of the bars to commemorate the 175th in someway.
However, if officials cannot decide on a way to commemo-rate this celebration, the city will sell the bars.
The silver bars are valued at 42 dollars an ounce and could sell tomorrow for two dollars below stock value.
Potential buyers would not be allowed to observe the bars beforehand.
However, pictures of each bar will be taken for conve-nience.

Senior Morgan Springer has provided consistent play for the Ole Miss Rebel volleyball team throughout her career.
The libero has become what one could call the “dig master,” after recording her thousandth career dig last season. For the past two seasons, Stringer has started every match at the libero position.
The libero in volleyball is a defensive specialist position that wears a different-colored jersey from her teammates, remains in the game at all times and is not limited by substitution rules that other players are.
Springer has been involved in volleyball since she was 11-years-old. She has played 10 years of volleyball, including eight years of travel volleyball before college. Her experience has proved to be an advantage during her Rebel career as she can frequently be seen rallying her teammates.
“Last season, it started to be-come less about me and more about my teammates,” Spring-er said. “It was about helping people around me, and I feel it’s one of the biggest things I’ve ac-
complished here. I remember my transition to leader.”
Last season Springer set a ca-reer high with 37 digs in a five-set victory over Southern Miss in last year’s Magnolia Invitational and also posted 26 double-digit dig matches; however, it is the home match against LSU that Springer remembers as one of her favorite Ole Miss volleyball memories.
“We beat LSU at home,” Springer said. “They were ranked 12th in the nation at the time. We played so well as a team and worked together really well.”
Springer does not plan to have her career end after her senior year as a Rebel.
“I am planning to try to play overseas,” she said. “It is tough for my position, libero, but I’m going to give it a shot for a few years before I go to grad school.”
Springer, along with her team-mates, said she has high expecta-tions for this season. Going into her final campaign as a Rebel, Springer is looking to be not only one of the best players on the floor, but also one of the team’s leaders.
The Rebels had a tough first weekend at the Burnt Orange Classic, dropping two of their three matches, despite a good
performance from Springer, who was named Libero of the Tour-nament.
“We have seen a very good, solid performance from our libero, our defensive player on the back row, Morgan Springer,” head coach Joe Getzin said.
Springer continued her solid play in the Crowne Plaza Clas-sic at the University of Louisville. In the Rebels’ first match against Louisville, Springer was credited with 17 digs to lead the back-row defense in a four-set loss to the Cardinals.
In the second match of the tournament against Eastern Illi-nois, Springer had a match-high
19 digs in the Rebels’ five-set vic-tory.
Springer had perhaps her best performance of the tournament in the Rebels’ final match against Wichita State. She had 25 digs, but the Rebels fell short and lost the match 3-1.
“She has been putting up some very good numbers,” Getzin said. “At nearly five digs per set, she is near the top of the SEC.”
Springer and the Rebels (1-4) will host their first tournament, the Magnolia Classic, this week-end at the Gillom Center. Oppo-nents will include Arkansas-Little Rock (3-4), Central Arkansas (1-5) and Northwestern (5-0).
Springer leads Rebels early in seasonBY MATT [email protected]
secondary, defensive backs coach Keith Burns was happy about Sawyer’s success on Saturday.
“He had the best camp,” Burns said. “What you love to have hap-pen as a coach is when a guy comes in and had the camp that he had, you want to see some-thing good happen for him.”
“At the most opportune time, when we needed a guy to make a play, he stepped up and made a
huge one,” Burns went on to say of Sawyer’s interception. “That to me was a great job by him and just a credit to how he’s worked. He certainly deserved it.”
That interception and the over-all play of the secondary, which included Sawyer in his new po-sition as safety and junior Aaron Garbutt playing some spur, a hy-brid linebacker/safety position, when Ole Miss played a 4-2-5 on defense, illustrated just how far Ole Miss has come defensively.
“This defense has come a long way,” Sawyer said. “We still have
a long way to go, but it improved. We worked hard this off-season, so they improved.”
That improvement was moti-vated by what happened last sea-son, when Ole Miss was 11th in the Southeastern Conference in passing defense (246.3 ypg) and last with six interceptions. That ranking and the talk of the defen-sive struggles last season were not lost on this year’s Ole Miss team.
“You never want to be at the end of anything,” Sawyer said. “That’s all coach Burns kept tell-ing us: You guys are number 12
in the SEC. You’re number 12, and you don’t want to be at the end, so we took it personally.”
With the BYU loss behind them, the focus for the Rebels is to keep learning and not let this loss affect their play going forward.
“A loss is a loss, no matter if you lose by one or if you lose by a hundred,” Sawyer said. “You just have to keep playing.
“You can’t say, ‘All right, our season’s over because we lost one.’ You’ve got to grow from this, and you’ve got to learn from it. Every game is a learning step.”

Rebel Women take first place in cross country sea-son opener
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Ole Miss women’s cross coun-try team opened its 2011 sea-son with a victory, capturing the team title at the Brooks Mem-phis Twilight Classic Saturday night at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex.
Senior Logan Waites took home the individual title hand-ily, running the 3.1-mile course in 17:44, winning under the lights by 23 seconds over second place.
The Ole Miss women scored 43 points, winning the team crown convincingly in the sea-son opener over 24 other teams from across the South. Arkan-sas-Little Rock and Arkansas State tied for second with 79 points.
The Ole Miss men finished 4th, scoring 110 points. De-fending Sunbelt Conference Champion Western Kentucky took home the team title with 47 points, Arkansas Little-Rock was second with 80 points and Harding finished third with 95 points.

With the loss Ole Miss fell to 3-1-1 this year while Duke im-proved to 5-1.
The Blue Devils scored the game-winner in the 76th minute as Kelly Cobb hit a shot from the six into the corner off an as-sist from Mollie Pathman.
The Ole Miss soccer team re-corded a 0-0 double overtime tie against Wright State Friday night at the Auburn Tourna-ment.
The Rebels continue on the road at No. 20 Memphis, Friday at 7 p.m. and then return home against The Citadel, next Mon-day at 1 p.m.

Even though Ole Miss lost its season-opening game to BYU 14-13 Saturday evening, there are a few positives to take away from the game.
One positive is the improvement shown by the Ole Miss defense, es-pecially the secondary.
Coming in, expectations for the secondary were largely unknown, as it featured a multitude of new players and a new defensive backs coach in Keith Burns.
Last season, BYU averaged over 26 points per game and scored at least 20 points in seven different games.

After Sawyer impressed dur-ing fall camp, showing himself to be one of the best players in the
