Campus preparedness for bomb threats
friends, family members and avid cyclists gathered in front of the lyceum on sunday afternoon to enjoy fellowship and partici-pate in a bike ride to celebrate kevser ermin.
upd chief calvin sellers and associate provost noel wilkin tell students that everything is being done to ensure their safety in emergency situations.
More than 30 cyclists came out to ride on Sunday afternoon in memory of PH.D exercise science student Kevser Ermin.
The path took cyclists from the Lyceum to Old Sardis Road, the site where Ermin was struck by a car while riding along her usual bike route on Oct. 7, 2011.
Those in attendance who knew her personally talked about her positive spirit. She often volunteered with the local
animal shelter in Oxford.Ermin’s husband, Yavuz
Ozeren, a research scientist at the university, coordinated the event with the help of Danny Klinnetz, a friend of both Er-min and Ozeren. Klinnetz also photographed the event for The Oxford Eagle.
“I’m just here as a friend to just help him and make sure this is day we call can remember her by,” Klinnetz said.
Ozeren said the anniversary’s
After the recent bomb threat hoax at Lexington Pointe in Oxford, University of Mississippi officials are working to see that students have complete access to emergency guidelines.
Some students feel safe be-lieving the campus will be able to handle it in any way.
“Nobody is ready for a bomb threat, but I believe the campus and the students would be able to follow the directions pretty well,” said Ian Ford, a political science sophomore.
Ford said there should be links within the Reb Alerts that are sent out so students could easily find information on their smartphones, but he also admitted that not every-one would take advantage of that system either.
“What they could do is probably put a link in that text message because every-body has a smartphone these days, and you can just click on the link and it would take you to the part of the MyOle-Miss website or just the Ole Miss website and it would have the information there,” Ford said.
“I think you would get a mixture of both — you would have some kids that would actually go and look at it be-cause now that you and I are talking about this, I would probably actually go look at it, and you would have stu-dents who would just be like ‘Oh, that would never hap-pen here.’”
Junior pharmacy major Laken Burrell said the Uni-versity Police Department and the administration could handle a bomb threat.

There were about seven min-utes to go in the game, and Tex-as A&M was looking at a third-and-19 on its own three-yard line. Ole Miss was ahead 27-17, and many of the 55,343 specta-tors in Vaught-Hemingway Sta-dium were feeling relieved. The
Rebels (3-3, 0-2 SEC) were close to getting their first Southeastern Conference win of the year and ending a 15-game SEC losing streak.
Little did they know, the Reb-el faithful were about to witness a young team still trying to learn how to win come up, literally, an inch short, as the Aggies (4-1, 2-1 SEC) pulled the win from
right under Ole Miss 30-27.“Obviously, I’m very disap-
pointed,” head coach Hugh Freeze said in his post-game press conference. “The kids are hurting. The coaches are hurt-ing. It’s a game we easily could have won. We’ve been looking at a lot of different things. We got into the fourth quarter with a very good football team. We
had a chance to win it and put it away, but we didn’t get a few breaks and we didn’t make a few plays.
“We made some tough deci-sions, and I just hate that our kids are hurting so bad when we had a great chance to win the football game.”

When I enter into a class-room and see the floors cov-ered with trash I wonder how old we are.
Is it an earth-shattering task to dispose of the DM, empty bottles, loose papers, chip bags, candy wrappers or any other manner of trashcan-destined garbage? I’m of course not talking in a sweeping generalization nor am I preaching from the pulpit. I’m not a paragon ei-ther; I realize it’s a selective group with mommy syn-drome.
What I do understand is that we are here to grow into professionalism and part of that growth is clean-ing up after yourself and to a larger degree respect for co-workers, regardless
of their position within the company. This is also indic-ative of self-respect.
I’ve seen some students to be as blatant as trying to fit a to-go container into an overfilled trashcan and, in the end, leaving it next to the trash can on the ground. Really, just walk to the extra 20 meters to the next avail-able. I’ve seen the “toilet bombs” created by the ex-cessive use of toilet paper (maybe even paper towels) stuffed in the drain pipe.
I really wonder if our gen-eration is ready for the re-sponsibility of adulthood sometimes.
I believe our issues in this matter diverge deeper than just a mommy syndrome and into the ideas some hold in the student body about our blue-collar work-ers. We rarely comment on
the freshly-buffed floors or tidiness of a restroom or the simple reliability on the plasticware being properly stocked. We’ll certainly no-tice if it falls short, but may not take the initiative to say anything about it when it goes alright.
It’s OK though, we are all learning and growing here on campus. So if I may, it won’t kill any of us to not only be more responsible, but also more courteous to all of our co-workers. When we are checking out in the lunch line, instead of pass-ing the time idly — ask the cashier how their day was. When you see maintenance out and about and you pass by, it won’t be hard to for-mulate a simple conversa-tion — hi, how’s it going. If you take the bus, how much effort does it take to greet
the driver?I’m fully aware that not all
the student body alienates its co-workers and that some even work alongside them. I’m not talking to those indi-viduals in the student body that are being responsible and civil human beings; I’m talking to that selective oth-er. I’m asking that group to shed free from mommy syn-drome and start acting like adults. Pick up after your-selves, be polite and un-derstand that Ole Miss is a much larger company than just professors and students.
We are all in this boat together and likewise shouldn’t alienate our co-workers simply because of our pre-held conventions on class or status.
Daniel Purdy is an English senior from Oxford.

But, seriously Getting out of my cubbyhole and experiencing the outdoors
BY WILLIAM [email protected]
BY BINDIYA [email protected]
“I have some very sad news for all of you and I think, uh, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world. And that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.”
These are the first lines of Robert Kennedy’s im-promptu speech, given to a black audience, imme-diately following the news of King’s death on April 4, 1968.
This speech, delivered by a civil rights activist, and Democratic front-runner in a presidential campaign, not only highlights an overlap of nation and race I’m go-ing to talk about today, but it also highlights questions I want to ask about how seri-ously we take ourselves as individuals and members of the nation.
During these last few weeks we have seen a lot of activity on two fronts.
Recently, both the Re-publican and Democratic parties held their conven-tions, and if Clint Eastwood speaking to a chair and Bill Clinton’s impressive oration are quickly downtrending in terms of immediate rel-evance, our attention was refocused as Obama and Romney squared off in their first presidential debate Wednesday night — an event aired and discussed by the campus community in the Overby Center auditorium.
At the same time, Ole Miss has been working through the memory of integration. The activities from this past Monday, Oct. 1, commemo-rating the 50th anniversary of James Meredith’s entry
into the university have been numerous and varied.
For instance, last Wednes-day I attended a fascinat-ing lecture given by Robert Hamblin, a graduate stu-dent and a member of the National Guard at the time of Meredith’s integration. As a guardsman, Hamblin was called in to help retain order on campus during the riot at Ole Miss. How-ever, as Hamblin noted, the number of federal troops shipped to Oxford in re-sponse to this crisis far out-stripped the manpower required. Responsible for helping to maintain the stag-ing area where these troops lodged and conducted train-ing missions, Hamblin later developed the impression that their presence had just as much to do with the then-mounting Cuban Missile Crisis as it did with keeping the peace in a sleepy Missis-sippi college town.
I bring this up not only to highlight an interesting overlap between local and federal concerns, but also to ask about our own relation-ship to the nation.
Hearing the stories, and looking back over video footage, the intensity of American citizenship in this era becomes almost palpa-ble.
The day after JFK’s as-sassination, the stoic Walter Cronkite — in a video eas-ily accessible through You-Tube — actually choked up on the air, reporting how Kennedy’s son John, Jr. had “walked through the White House corridors complain-ing ‘I don’t have anyone to play with.’” Indeed, most folks can still tell you where they were when they re-ceived the news that Ken-nedy had been shot.
As I was trolling the In-ternet immersed in this ep-och, I came across a famous photo of King and Malcolm X shaking hands. Looking at these two men, I imag-ined the immense weight each bore as they carried so many needs and desires in their every action. What a giant collision of forces be-tween figures, and what has happened to the urgency that defined this time? Has it disappeared with the issues? I mean, we’ve more or less tackled the more heinous forms of racial violence and hate in our country, and no one is going to attempt to blow up the world anytime soon.
On the other hand, a standoff between Palestine and Israel now looms, our debt crisis still verges on the absurd (though we seem to have relegated that concern to a sort of National Uncon-scious) and we have expe-rienced our own immense tragedies in 9/11 and other events (Columbine, VA Tech, the Batman shooter, etc).
So why does it feel like there’s so much less at stake for us? Is this just the nos-talgia of history coating the events of the past with a glaze of importance? The influence of black and white memories of a time before the Internet and iPods? Has technology — with its global reach — paradoxically made us that much more selfish and isolated in our atten-tions? Or ... is it just me?
As usual, I really don’t know.

The previous weekend I had a blast. For the first time in my life, not only did I go rock climb-ing, but I also went camping for three days and two nights. For a gal who ain’t outdoorsy, carries around a tissue to open door-knobs, and, worst of all, is sick with a viral infection coughing constantly it was a life-challeng-ing experience.
Not only was it my first time outdoors, but I went with a group of strangers. I watched them learn as I learned how to dig my feet into holes and wrap my fingers around the ridges of the rock, pushing myself up as I climbed.
Being OCD, I had issues. There are no bathrooms in the woods except for porta potties without toilet paper and mosqui-toes that land on the poop and then in my hair, I slept in a tent tall enough for me to sit Indian style, and no showering.
I felt the sand beneath my socks in my tennis shoes as I walked. Climbing made my knees so sore it was unbearable to walk, and the skin on my fin-gers peeled from grabbing onto the sharp edges of the rocks.
That night, I couldn’t take it anymore; it was hard for me to make friends with strangers in a strange environment and learn to climb. I cried, silently in my tent where no one would notice, but one of the strangers was con-cerned. It was hard for me to admit to them how much I re-gretted this trip. But I returned safely, and here I am telling you my story.
This stranger asked me what I would take away from this ex-perience, for which I had no re-sponse. I had been looking for-ward to this for a while; I rode for hours to get here and now I just wanted to leave. So they walked me over to the middle of
nowhere at 10 p.m. and told me to close my eyes and breath in deeply.
I heard the crickets chirping, felt the gentle breeze against my frustrated cheeks, the leaves of the trees being blown by the wind, acorns falling to the ground, and finally I gently heard the stars twinkling ever so subtly. We opened our eyes and they said, “This is what you will take away from here.” It was the best feeling of my life.
I walked over to a small moun-tain, climbed it, and just laid on it, watching the halo around the moon formed by the clouds. It was amazing.
Climbing the next day, as I got to the top, I sat on a huge rock and watched everything below me — the treetops, a buzzard fly-ing by, lakes and the city — it was beautiful. I was flying above the scenery of greenery. It made me stop and think of Mother Nature holding me as her baby.
So the take home point is, number one, experience some-thing you’ve never done before. Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.”
Number two, be open-mind-ed and make new friends. You never know who you will meet and how you will mesh. Who knows, you may have just met the best friend of your life or even your soul mate. Life is so short, so experience as much as you possibly can.
So my friends, I can now say that I have climbed mountains, but I also made a new friend. When we came back to Oxford Sunday night, I had just parted from my new family.

The International Associa-tion of Human Rights Agen-cies (IAOHRA) has named The University of Missis-sippi’s William Winter Insti-tute the 2012 recipient of the International Award for the advancement of civil and hu-man rights.
The Winter Institute has been a part of the university community for 13 years and is named for the 58th gov-ernor of Mississippi and Ole Miss alumnus William F. Winter.
Currently, the institute is engaged in communities in Mississippi that have a his-tory of racial tension.
Susan Glisson, director of the Winter Institute, said the award is encouragement to continue working throughout the state and abroad.
“While we continue to fo-cus our work in Mississippi, we understand that conflict around identity is a global burden,” Glisson said. “This award recognized our efforts
to learn from our colleagues around the world; it enables us to connect and network with them so that all our work is made better by the
example of others.”Glenn Hopkins, dean of the
Department of Liberal Arts, said the Winter Institute is gaining regional, national and
international prominence.“The Winter Institute,
which began on the Univer-sity of Mississippi campus as a result of President Clinton’s
national dialogue on race, has begun to make international ripples among the transna-tional civil society on human rights,” Hopkins said.

University students encouraged to get flu vaccinesdirector of the student health center pharmacy sandra Bentley feels it’s important for students to visit the student health center for a flu shot to protect themselves against common strains of the flu virus with the season beginning to change.BY kAYLEIGH [email protected]

news brief
OLE MISS PRIDE WEEK
D M S T A F F R E P O R T
ASB President Kimbrely Dandridge has declared this week Ole Miss Pride Week to recognize October as National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month. In the final excecutive order, Dandridge said, “Ole Miss Pride Week will be a time for the entire campus to come together.” Thurs. Oct. 11 is National Coming Out Day.
As both flu season and fi-nals are fast approaching, Di-rector of the Student Health Center Sandra Bentley en-courages University of Mis-sissippi students to seek vac-cinations to guard against illness.
Flu vaccines are now avail-able at the Student Health Center in two different forms this semester. According to the Centers for Disease Con-trol, both work by inserting antibodies of the three most common types of influenza viruses of the season into the body. Two weeks after inser-tion, the viruses in the vac-cine begin to equip one’s im-mune system to fight off the flu virus.
Traditional shots are avail-able for $25, and nasal mists are available for $30. Bentley says the mist is less popular.
Bentley suggests students bring their insurance cards with them to the health cen-ter since some insurance companies will pay for flu
vaccinations.Last week several Ole Miss
pharmacy students adminis-tered flu shots to more than 100 students on campus, but not all students feel the flu shot is necessary.
“I’ve never gotten a flu shot. I’ve never gotten the
flu before,” said Erin Callan, senior business management major.
Senior English major Mer-edith Wilson disagrees.
“My parents always make me get one,” she said.
According to Bentley, the possible consequences of not
getting a flu vaccination can be academically devastating.
“When the flu comes through, it can put people down for seven to 10 days,” she said. “When a student can’t go to class for seven days, that might ruin their entire semester.”

purpose was not only to cele-brate Ermin’s life — it also holds a deeper meaning.
“The purpose is to obviously refresh memories and to send a message that things can hap-pen,” Ozeren said. “Each time I wake up, I think about her, so I don’t need such events to re-member.
“This is for Oxford, the uni-versity and the students to re-member what could happen and bring awareness of course.”
The bike ride took two routes. One went from the Lyceum and around the Square, and the other went all the way to the site of Ermin’s accident, which hap-pened on Old Sardis Road.
To ensure the safety of the entire group, there were po-lice escorts. The Oxford Police Department stopped traffic on
almost every corner. One Ox-ford police car led the charge as university police followed.
While some of the people at the event knew Ermin person-ally, others came out to show support because of the event’s significance for their lives.
“I’m a cyclist, and cycling safety is very important,” Ox-ford cyclist Jennifer Minzeko said. “It’s really important for the community to see the strengths of cyclists.”
Melinda Valliant, a nutrition professor who taught Ermin and cycled with her, was also in attendance.
“This is bittersweet for me,” Valliant said. “This time last year I found out I had thyroid cancer and couldn’t ride in the ride that they did in honor of her death which happened the day before I had surgery. As tragic as it is, I think her family and friends have done a great job about bringing awareness.”
Young children who knew Ermin also participated in the bike route.
“Kevser was really nice to me, and I loved her,” Elisa Karahan, 6, said. “She was real-ly pretty, and she babysat me.”
Lara Tabanca, Ermin’s 8-year-old niece, said she misses her “very nice and beautiful” aunt.
“I miss her with all of my heart,” she said. “I’m not very happy about it, and my mom cries everyday and she says ‘I wish she was here, or they pun-ish whoever killed her.’”
Charges were never filed for the accident that led to Ermin’s death.
“I would be nervous, though, since I live on cam-pus, but they’ve probably been working on it since the threats at other colleges,” Burrell said.
The administration, which has designed and reviewed the emergency protocols, is also confident that the plans that have been developed will work if a bomb threat is reported.
“I am confident that we have developed a process to respond to emergencies, and that we have people and access to people who are trained to deal with emer-gencies and situations that might arise,” Associate Pro-vost Noel Wilkin said. “Just as we strive for excellence in our academic programs, we strive for excellence in being prepared.”
Wilkin also said that many of the university staff and leaders, including Chancel-lor Dan Jones, are trained in the Incident Command Sys-tem. ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazards inci-dent management approach developed by the federal government.
The UPD also has special training to deal with bomb threats.
“Our officers get training in a lot of areas,” UPD Chief Calvin Sellers said. “One of our officers, who is a gradu-ate student that did his thesis on how to respond to bomb threats, teaches the class and also teaches other police de-partments around the state.”
Erika Applewhite, a se-nior business major, said she doesn’t think the campus is fully prepared for a bomb threat.
“I’m just one person, but I’m pretty sure a lot of stu-dents haven’t heard anything about bomb threats,” she said.
“So we’re not prepared, and if something was to hap-pen, I think it would be a big
chaos.”Sellers said there is an or-
ganized evacuation plan in the event of a bomb threat on campus.
“If we were to receive a threat on a building on one side of the campus, we wouldn’t be concerned about evacuating people out of a building on the other side of campus,” he said. “If we do need to evacuate the entire campus or sections, we would divide the campus up into quadrants.”
Ole Miss has developed several methods of commu-nicating to the student body and the public, according to Wilkin. These methods in-clude: text messages, email, an emergency website, si-rens and voice-over-siren ca-pabilities.
For more information on how to respond in an emer-gency situation, and to re-view the evacuation maps, go to www.olemiss.edu/emergency.

In a game that was thought to be a shootout with two high-scoring offenses exchanging touchdowns on their first two possessions of the game, it came down to a few key plays that could’ve ultimately changed the outcome of the game.
It started when senior kicker Bryson Rose missed a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter that would’ve given the Rebels a 13-10 lead.
Then, with time winding down in the first half, it looked as though Ole Miss was going to carry momentum into the lock-er room. The Rebels had a 17-10 lead and looked to add at least a field goal before the half ended, but with 42 seconds left, Wallace dropped back and attempted a pass that saw the ball slip out of his hands and fall into the hands of senior linebacker Steven Jen-kins, who returned the intercep-tion 37 yards for a touchdown, which tied the game 17-17 going into halftime.
“I was trying to hit my check down,” Wallace said. “And it slipped out of my hands and fell right into (his) hands.”
Rose added a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter, and on the first play of the fourth quar-ter, Wallace found sophomore wide receiver Donte Moncrief on a slant on a critical third-down play to give the Rebels a 27-17 lead.
At the 8:35 mark in the fourth quarter, the Aggies started a drive at their own 12-yard line. Manziel was sacked by fresh-man defensive tackle Issac Gross at the Texas A&M goal line. Manziel was ruled down at the 1-yard line, but Freeze decided to challenge the spot in hopes of a safety.
After review, the officials up-held the ruling on the field, and that is when momeuntum start-
ed to swing in favor of Texas A&M.
A 2-yard run on second down set up the pivotal third-and-19 that ultimately changed the complexion of the game.
Manziel stepped back and hurled a pass down the side-line. Sophomore cornerback Senquez Golson was in position and looked to have an intercep-tion or pass breakup, but fresh-man wide receiver Mike Evans reached over Golson and reeled in the 32-yard pass to give the Aggies a critical first down.
After that, Texas A&M had a 36-yard run by junior running back Ben Malena and capped off the scoring drive with a 29-yard run by Manziel for a touch-down to cut the deficit to four.
Ole Miss got the ball back with 6:24 left to play, and the Rebels were looking to pre-serve the win. Junior running back Jeff Scott had five straight carries and the Rebels were forced into a fourth-and-inches situation from their own 39-yard line. Ole Miss elected to go for it and was unable to convert on a questionable play call from the shotgun, giving the ball to Texas A&M with three minutes left in the game.
“It looked like if they would have rolled the ball it would have touched the chain,” Freeze said. “I think that call should have been reviewed, but it is what it is. We could have made an inch and probably put it away, but we didn’t.
“We haven’t won an SEC game in however long it’s been, but I was just going for it. Period. Everybody can sit back and sec-ond guess, but I was giving our kids what I thought was the best chance to win the game. Obvi-ously, I wish I would have called something different now, but we would go for it again.”
The Aggies capitalized on the opportunity when Man-ziel found senior wide receiver Ryan Swope from 20 yards out
to give the Aggies a 30-27 lead. Ole Miss got the ball back
with 1:46 left and no timeouts from their own 31-yard line. On the second play of the drive, Wallace found Moncrief on a 32-yard pass that moved the ball to the Texas A&M 32-yard line. However on the next play, Wal-lace was intercepted by junior defensive back Toney Hurd Jr.
“I didn’t see the guy,” Wallace said. “I was thinking we can’t take a sack here and get out of field-goal range. I had a guy in my face and tried to throw it to my short guy, but I didn’t see him.”
Despite the loss, the Rebels received a great effort on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Ole Miss forced six turnovers — four fumbles and two intercep-tions. Coming into the game, Texas A&M only had one turn-over all season. Sophomore safety Cody Prewitt had another big game with six tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recov-ery and an interception.
“We really emphasized getting turnovers going into the game, and we did that,” defensive co-ordinator Dave Wommack said. “We stopped some drives doing that, but in the end, we weren’t able to do it. It’s disappointing. You figure with a 10-point lead at six minutes you’re going to win the game.”
Offensively, the Rebels had 464 yards of total offense, in-cluding Wallace’s 305 through the air on 20-of-34 passing and 31 yards on the ground with two total touchdowns.
“I thought I had my best game of the season until the final play of the game,” Wallace said. “We took care of the football, and I think I prepared this week bet-ter than I have ever prepared for a football game and it definitely helped me out. It just crushes you when on the very last play of the game you do that.”
Scott led the way for the Reb-els on the ground with 108 yards
and a touchdown on 21 carries. The receiving core got plenty of action with Moncrief and senior Ja-Mes Logan both catching six passes for 73 and 53 yards, re-spectively, followed by sopho-more Vince Sanders with five catches for a team-leading 81 yards.
Although Ole Miss came up short, the team is focused on Saturday’s game against
Auburn. Kickoff from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is set for 11:21 a.m. on the SEC Network.
“Auburn is a good football team,” Wallace said. “We’ll have another chance to get an SEC win. We just have to come back and prepare for them next week.”

volleyball falls to kentucky, arkansas at homethe ole miss volleyball team falls to 2-5 in southeastern conference play after losing a pair of weekend home matches against kentucky and arkansas.
FRIDAY: Kentucky 3, Ole Miss 0
The Ole Miss Lady Rebels returned home to the Gillom Sports Center on Friday, af-ter a weekend of being on the road, to face off against the Kentucky Wildcats. Ole Miss totaled 16 errors, losing in straight sets (25-17, 25-18, 25-19) to the Wildcats.
“You have a very talented Kentucky team that played pretty flawless tonight,” head coach Joe Getzin said.
Kentucky (10-6, 4-2 SEC) took the first set with the score of 25-17. The set stayed even early on, as the teams were tied nine times before the Wildcats grabbed control of the game with a 15-11 lead. Kentucky cruised the rest of the set, not letting the Lady Rebels get within two points. Senior outside hitter Allegra Wells led the way for Ole Miss (8-7, 2-4 SEC), but the team’s six errors proved to be the difference.
The Wildcats won the sec-ond set, 25-18, in relaxed fashion. Once Kentucky took an early 3-2 lead, it was all
Wildcats from there on out. A 4-0 Kentucky run helped stretched the lead to 18-11, and Ole Miss could never re-cover. Another six-error set plagued the Lady Rebels’ of-fense, and Wells was held to one kill in four total attacks.
“The number of errors that we had, combined with giv-ing them too many easy balls, creates for them hitting so well,” Getzin said.
The Wildcats claimed the third set and the match with a 25-19 score. Kentucky jumped all over the Lady Rebels early in the set, scor-ing the first four points and forcing a timeout by Ole Miss. After the timeout, Ole Miss scored seven of the next 10 points to tie the game at seven. The Wildcats held off the Ole Miss attack, coasting to a match victory.
Junior outside hitter Kara Morgan led the Lady Rebels with 10 kills on 30 total at-tacks, and Wells added nine of her own. Senior setter Amanda Philpot recorded 27 assists and senior defensive specialist Ashley Veach led with eight digs. The Wildcats had a significant advance in digs, almost doubling Ole
Miss in that category, 39-21. SUNDAY: Arkansas 3,
Ole Miss 1 After being swept by Ken-
tucky on Friday, the Lady Rebels returned to the court in a matchup with the Arkan-sas Razorbacks. After losing the first set, Arkansas won three straight sets to defeat Ole Miss 3-1 (22-25, 25-16, 25-21, 25-13).
“I think everyone can see
that we can do good things,” Getzin said. “We’re just giv-ing up bunches of points.”
Led by junior outside hit-ter Kara Morgan’s four kills, Ole Miss (8-8, 2-5 SEC) won a close first set, 25-22. The Lady Rebels built an early 4-1 lead, but could not pull away from Arkansas. Down 17-14, Arkansas scored the next seven out of 10 points to take their first lead of the set
at 21-20. Ole Miss was able to counter by scoring five of the last six points to finish off the set.
“Once again Kara Morgan had a great night,” Getzin said. “She’s putting up some stellar numbers for us.”
Arkansas (14-4, 6-2 SEC) scored 15 of the last 18 rallies to win the second set, 25-16. Down 13-10, the Razorbacks used a 6-0 run to grab control of the set. The Lady Rebels were only able to produce six kills in the set after tallying up 16 in the first.
After the Razorbacks built an eight-point lead, they held off an attempted comeback, winning the third set, 25-21. Trailing 17-9, Ole Miss fought back to cut the score to 23-20, but it was not enough.
Arkansas jumped all over Ole Miss in the fourth set, winning 25-13 to claim the match. The Razorback jumped out to a 12-3 lead. Ole Miss cut the lead to five, but Arkansas proved to be too much for the Lady Reb-els.
“When passing breaks down in this game, everyone gets frustrated,” Getzin said. “You can’t keep your offense in sync going forward and that happened to us a little bit, you know, we’ve got to clean that up.”
Morgan’s 14 kills on 46 to-tal attacks led Ole Miss, and no other player had more than 16 attacks. Senior setter Amanda Philpot recorded 35 assists and senior outside hit-ter Whitney Craven led the Lady Rebels with 12 digs.
The Lady Rebels return to action this with road matches against Florida on Friday and Georgia on Sunday.

FRIDAY: GEORGIA 2, OLE MISS 0
The Ole Miss women’s soc-cer team returned to the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium Friday night after a tough four-game road swing. The scoring woes continued for the Rebels as they fell to the Lady Bulldogs of Georgia 2-0.
“I thought we moved the ball well, but in the end you got to score to win,” head coach Matt Mott said. “We didn’t, and it is disappoint-ing.”
The Rebels (9-5, 2-5 SEC) managed to pressure Georgia early in the first half, but the Bulldogs’ back line was able to withstand the early threat.
Georgia (6-6-2, 2-3-1 SEC) broke the tie with a score by sophomore midfielder/for-ward Jenna Owens when she chipped the ball over sopho-more goalkeeper Kelly Mc-Cormick.
The Bulldogs took the lead into halftime, and the second half started the same way as the first with both teams pres-suring but not able to capital-ize. Ole Miss came out of the locker room looking like a far more aggressive team and kept the ball in the Georgia half for a majority of the sec-ond half.
Georgia senior goalkeeper Ashley Baker made three saves on the night in keep-ing the Rebels out of the net.
The Lady Bulldogs gave themselves a little insur-ance with a second goal in the 75th minute. Junior
midfielder Madeline Barker earned the score with a shot off a pass from a fellow team-mate.
The score all but sealed Ole Miss’ fate as the Lady Rebels could not generate any mo-mentum all night.
This once-deadly offense has been silent since the start of conference play. Mott feels it is just his team not being able to get themselves into position for a chance to score.
“I feel like there is a lid on the goal,” Mott said. “We can-not crack the goal. We are not creating enough dangerous stuff.”
SUNDAY: OLE MISS 2, KENTUCKY 0
Riding a three-game los-ing streak, the Ole Miss soc-cer team desperately needed a win. Sliding back in the Southeastern Conference standings during the past couple weeks, the Lady Reb-els had their backs against the wall, and they responded in a big way with a 2-0 win over Kentucky.
“It was a total team perfor-mance today,” head coach Matt Mott said. “I thought that we were good in all three areas. Kentucky is a very good team. For us to come in and get a 2-0 win is very good result for us, and it puts us right back in the middle of everything.”
Ole Miss (10-5, 3-5 SEC) was in control for most of the match, occupying Kentucky’s (8-5-1, 3-4-1 SEC) end of the field.
The first half was a tough defensive battle in which both Ole Miss and Kentucky stifled offensive threats. Breaking
through in the 41st minute, Ole Miss freshman forward Sara Coleman netted her second goal of the season on a cross in the box from junior forward Rafaelle Sou-za.
“We all knew we had been struggling the past two or three games to get the ball in the net,” Coleman said. “For me to break (the lid off the goal), it was just amazing.”
Ole Miss took a 1-0 lead into halftime, outshooting Kentucky five to four in the first half.
The second half saw Ole Miss continuing to pressure the Lady Wildcats. Freshman forward/midfielder Olivia Harrison provided the sec-ond score of the game with an unassisted strike in the 68th minute. The goal was Harri-son’s sixth for the season.
The insurance goal looked to be enough as the Ole Miss defense proved too much for the Wildcats.
There was a different feel in the stands today as mem-bers of two Ole Miss frater-nities were in attendance adding some intensity to the game.
“It was awesome,” Mott said. “They were loud and crazy, and it’s what we need all the time, and certain-ly, we drew from that en-ergy and helped us win the game.”
Ole Miss is back on the road next weekend with matches at Vanderbilt on Friday and South Carolina on Sunday.

TULSA, Okla. – Ole Miss men’s tennis senior Jonas Lu-tjen picked up another piece of hardware Sunday, winning the ITA All-American consolation final with a straight set win over Ohio State’s Connor Smith at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center. With the win, Lutjen earned an automatic berth to
the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in New York Nov. 3-6.
The final match had to be played indoors again due to cool temperatures. Lutjen won the first set and then the two battled in the second set before Lutjen got the break for the 6-3, 6-4 victory. It was his fifth win in a row after dropping a close first round match to Georgia’s Nathan Pasha.
In the consolation round, Lu-tjen defeated five ranked play-ers to improve his record to 13-2 this fall.
“It was a great tournament,” Lutjen said. “I beat a lot of great players. I have to give a big thanks to coach (Toby) Hansson
and our trainer, Ben (Angle). I look forward to building on the confidence of this week to make the fall a special one with the re-maining tournaments.”
“Winning the backdraw is a true testament to Jonas’ excel-lent work ethic and never say die attitude,” said associate head coach Toby Hansson. “It’s al-ways hard to play well in the fi-nals in a pressured situation. Jo-nas didn’t play at the same level as he did in previous matches, but he was able to overcome the adversity, keep his head held high and come out on top.”
Next up for the Rebels will be the ITA Southern Region Championships in Oct. 18-22 in Auburn, Ala.

‘we’ve gOt tO Start wINNINg gaMeS’deck: saturday’s 30-27 loss to texas a&m wasn’t what head coach hugh freeze was looking for, but it’s a step in the right direction for a team that hasn’t won a southeastern conference game in nearly two years.
In the week leading up to this past Saturday’s game against Texas A&M, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze spoke about his team needing to take the next step.
That step, he said, was “to get into the fourth quarter with some of these confer-ence opponents that are re-ally good teams and us learn from that regardless of the outcome.”
The Rebels clearly did that, as they opened up a 27-17 lead over the Aggies early in the fourth quarter.
“We got into the fourth quarter with a very good football team, and they’re going to win a lot of games,” Freeze said. “We had a chance to win and put it away. We didn’t get a few breaks, we didn’t make some plays, we made some tough decisions. I just hate that our kids are hurting so bad when (we) had a chance to win the football game.”
However, after watching that 10-point lead slip away in an eventual 30-27 loss, Ole Miss’ players weren’t satisfied with just being in the game during the fourth quarter.
“Eventually, we give great efforts; we’ve got to start winning football games,” sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace said. “We can say we had a great effort all we want, but if we’re not winning, it doesn’t really matter.”
Junior cornerback Charles Sawyer said it’s past the time to be happy about compet-ing in games.
“Absolutely. We’ve got to start winning games,” Saw-yer said. “The effort is there, and the passion is there, we’ve just got to win games.
We’ve got to come together as a team like we’ve been do-ing.”
Wallace said that the team was “crushed” in the locker room after the game, but that’s a good thing to see, Sawyer said after the game.
“Everybody’s disappoint-ed, and everybody should be,” he said. “Nobody should be proud that we kept a good game and it came down to the fourth quarter. Every-body’s disappointed because everybody wants to win.
“That’s what changed the program, not just one or three people want to win, ev-erybody wants to win.”
Ole Miss gets another shot at ending its 16-game SEC
losing streak when Auburn comes to town on Saturday.
Sophomore safety Cody Prewitt, who had six tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception against Texas A&M, isn’t worried about Saturday’s loss having a lingering effect moving forward.
“It’s not going to be dif-ficult to overcome,” Prewitt said. “We’re going to come in (Sunday), we’re going to fix our mistakes and this game is forgotten. We’re go-ing to move on to next week and keep working hard.”
