Economic progrEss in oXForDBuilding permit reports published by the city of oxford point to a recovering economy, as the number of building permits more than tripled and commercial permits doubled from 2011 to 2012.
The Ole Miss lacrosse team is hosting a tournament called “The Wheat Memorial Game” on Saturday in memo-ry of Sarah and John Wheat. The two students were killed in a head-on collision on Oct. 27, 2012.
Sarah, 24, and her brother, John, 30, were members of
the lacrosse teams on campus during their time at Ole Miss.
“Sarah was the women’s goalie and John was a former player,” said Rachel Zurhe-ide, the women’s lacrosse president.
Matt Raines, president of the men’s team, said he wants the players to learn from the tournament.
“I want the players to appre-ciate John and Sarah’s contri-
butions to this program and, more importantly, recognize how great they were,” Raines said.
Like the Wheats, Raines is also from Maryland.
“The Wheats family had a huge role in my decision to come to Ole Miss,“ Raines said. “John and Sarah were instrumental in building both

Year-end reports pub-lished by the city of Oxford indicate that the city issued 224 building permits for the construction of single-fami-ly homes in 2012, which is more than three times the 61 issued in 2011.
Randy Barber, Oxford building official, said the majority of construction permits being issued are for the building of student
housing developments, such as The Retreat and The Highlands.
“There are cottages, some duplexes and fourplexes being built,” Barber said.
The construction of de-velopments that transition away from the traditional apartment style has con-tributed to the swell of per-mits being issued because each individual cottage or freestanding unit qualifies as a single-family residence in the city’s accounting.
According to city docu-mentation, the value of all single-family homes con-structed in 2012 totaled roughly $25.8 million, compared to the $9.3 mil-lion in 2011.
This past year, the city made $136,909 in fees for permits issued for the con-struction of single-family homes. In 2011, $42,623 was collected for the same purpose.

Key to government survival: InnovateC O L U M N

Raise your hand if you owned or knew somebody who owned a Blackberry three years ago. Now, think about the number of people you know now who own a Blackberry. Compare that to the number of iPhones surrounding you right now.
The Blackberry used to be the premier smart phone, especially for businessmen, but now its market share in America has plummet-ed. While many variables
were in the equation that led Blackberry to this point, one stands out to me: Black-berry seemingly refused to innovate.
While Apple was releas-ing brand-new devices with some new must-have speci-fication, Blackberry was overloading the market with nearly identical phones with little-to-no innovation. In the end, Apple wins the market.
Welcome to the 21st cen-tury — a time when tech-nology is obsolete before its first birthday and the at-tention span of Americans doesn’t even last a full com-mercial.
Now more than ever, the government is at a disadvan-tage. Little funding is avail-
able for research and devel-opment in the public sector, and the government does not have the profit incentive that businesses thrive on.
As a result, the govern-ment must be truly inno-vative, using all resources available to it. This means using technology to connect citizens to the government in ways never before pos-sible.
For example, many of the large, tourist-heavy cit-ies have designed apps that serve as personal tour guides, including audio re-cordings for history and de-tails of specific landmarks. Some of these apps even incorporate personal diaries so visitors can share their experiences with others.
The cities can also use these diaries to quickly identify and address problems that tourists might notice, such as an accumulation of trash around a statue.
The city of Portland, Or-egon, has developed an app that allows citizens to report problems directly to the ap-propriate city agency along with pictures and GPS data. The agency can even re-spond to users through the app.
Such apps allow citizens to feel connected and re-sponsible for their city and its maintenance. Previously, many people would naively believe that the government would take care of some-

Opening combat roles to women in the military will not lower standardsC O L U M N
When Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced the end to the ban on women in combat roles on Jan. 24, I was stunned. I watched and re-watched his Pentagon press conference, making sure that I had heard every word cor-rectly. Even though a series of modifications to the exist-ing rule had opened 14,000 previously off-limits jobs in early 2012, I was not expect-ing a complete reversal of the 19-year-old policy to happen so soon.
Even though most major polls show that the American public is in favor of lifting the 1994 direct ground combat
definition and assignment rule that has kept women from the front lines (Gallup, the Washington Post), that is not enough to keep many people from speaking out against the Department of Defense decision.
They provide a wide array of excuses: Women have no place in combat positions, women are too compassion-ate, their mere presence on the front lines will disrupt the cohesiveness of units or the effectiveness of the mission. Some even go so far as to cite female hygiene (read: men-struation) as a disqualifying factor.
There are, of course, the more practical concerns re-garding physical fitness that people often cite to bar wom-en from combat roles. One of my good friends, an Army 2nd lieutenant on active duty and alumnus of Ole Miss, raised a similar question in
a discussion of ours several months ago. While he agreed that women play an important and effective supporting role, he didn’t think that a woman would be able to handle the physical demands of combat positions at all.
Cable networks, social media sites and syndicated op-eds have all carried the voices of Americans who op-pose lifting the ban. But in all the negative opinion pieces I have read that claim the stan-dards of our combat forces will be lowered, the authors have failed to recognize the fact that Panetta specifically stated that qualifications for these positions will remain the same.
“If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job — and, let me be clear, I’m not talking about reduc-ing the qualifications for the job,” he stressed, “if they can meet the qualifications for the
job, then they should have the right to serve, regardless of creed or color or gender or sexual orientation.”
General Dempsey took to the podium after the secretary and reaffirmed his statement: “We’ll integrate women in a way that enhances opportu-nity for everyone. This means setting clear standards of per-formance for all occupations based on what it actually takes to do the job.”
Not every man has what it takes to be on the front lines, but every man has the oppor-tunity to try. Before Jan. 24, women didn’t even have the chance, but now they do. Not every woman will make the cut, but now the reason will be, “You don’t meet the quali-fications,” and not, “Sorry, you’re a girl.”
As for the argument that women will ruin “cohesive-ness,” people said the same thing about the workplace
when women broke out of traditional gender roles and began competing for the same jobs as men. They argued against permitting women into the military service acad-emies in the 1970s because they would be a “distraction” for male students.
But if companies in the private sector adapted to an increasingly gender-equal workforce and the academies continue to produce quality young officers regardless of a cadet’s gender, there is no reason why combat units can-not adapt as well.
Opening combat roles will not lower military standards but reaffirms the fact that equal opportunity is a cor-nerstone tenet of the United States. The armed forces are no exception.

thing, no matter how small, without any help from citi-zens. These apps shatter that train of thought.
One thing that Missis-sippi’s government seem to be late to the party on, though, is the digital filing of public records. Finding government reports or data
online is nearly impossible for many of the state agen-cies, and even more so on the city level.
The Freedom of Infor-mation Act (FOIA) was originally based on now-outdated technology, and it should be restructured with the technological advances in mind. Requiring all pub-lic records from the past few years onward to be available online would not only make it easier on the public to
provide checks on the gov-ernment, but also it would alleviate the burden on staff and clerks who spend a good deal of time fulfilling public records requests.
Technology, after all, is a good thing. Now more than ever, we need government to truly move into the 21st century.

“The Fleur de Lis off Old Taylor Road recently fin-ished its construction, the Hub is going up on Ander-son Road, some other sin-
gle-family houses are going up on Anchorage Road and Keystone is adding several units,” Barber said.
Overall, commercial permits doubled from the number issued in 2011 to the total of 2,499 in 2012 and generated $563,769 in fees.

Common Reading Experience committee set to choose next bookafter accepting student and faculty nominations, the Common Reading Experience committee has narrowed its list of contenders down to six books. The final decision will be made in about two weeks.
The Common Reading Ex-perience committee is in the process of selecting a book for this fall’s incoming freshmen at The University of Mississippi.
The committee will be choos-ing from six books, ranging in topic from Southern culture to national politics. All of the proposed books are fewer than 400 pages in length. Accord-ing to committee head Leslie Banahan, the final decision will be made in about two weeks.
Last year’s selection was “Crooked Letter, Crooked Let-ter,” a novel written by Ole Miss assistant professor Tom Franklin.
Christian Schloegel, a fresh-man public policy leadership major, said he enjoyed last year’s Common Reading Ex-perience, despite initial misgiv-ings.
“Although I did not initially want to read ‘Crooked Let-ter, Crooked Letter,’ I ended up enjoying the book itself,” Schloegel said. “Another novel like ‘Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter,’ I would read again be-cause of the enjoyment and benefits I gained from it.”
One of the books being con-sidered this year is Jesmyn Ward’s “Salvage the Bones,” a
novel set in Mississippi that fol-lows the story of a family and the events surrounding Hurri-cane Katrina.
Two other proposed books are also set in the South. The first of these is “In the Sanctu-ary of Outcasts: A Memoir” by Neil White. The memoir tells the story of a Louisiana leper colony. The second is “Out-casts United: An American Town, a Refugee Team, and One Woman’s Quest to Make a Difference” by Warren St. John. The 2009 book focuses on a Georgia refugee settle-ment, and both books revolve around the themes of commu-nity, acceptance and the indi-vidual.
Two of the other proposed books focus on issues more rel-evant to the nation as a whole.
“Ten Letters: The Stories Americans Tell Their Presi-dent,” by Eli Saslow, show-
cases 10 individual stories of correspondence with President Obama, revealing the personal aspect of hot-button policies.
“The American Way of Eat-ing: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table,” by Tracie McMillan, focuses on the eat-ing habits of different socioeco-nomic groups.
The final book under con-sideration is “The Unforgiving Minute: A Soldier’s Educa-tion” by Craig M. Mullaney. Like “In the Sanctuary of Out-casts,” it is a first-person nar-rative. Mullaney recounts his time at West Point, his first taste of war in Afghanistan and his eventual return stateside to a teaching post at the U.S. Na-val Academy. Unlike the other first-person selection, it focuses less on community and more on the individual, asking what it means to be a man.

the men’s and women’s la-crosse programs, so both teams’ success can be attrib-uted to them.”
Raines said he wants those who aren’t familiar with la-crosse to enjoy watching the sport that John and Sarah Wheat cared about so much. Patrick Aiello, the men’s la-crosse coach, said he hopes the players take something from the tournament.
“My expectations for the game is first and foremost that Sarah and John will be on all the players’ minds, and it will be emotional, but our team is really excited,” Aiello said.
Freshman men’s lacrosse team member Taylor Cos
thinks the tournament will help the healing process.
“We’ve already learned so much from this loss,” Cos said. “We’ve grown closer as a team, as a family, and I think this tournament will give all of us a bit of closure.”
Both the women’s and men’s teams will begin play in the tournament against Geor-gia Tech, and the women’s team will play a second game against Florida. The women’s games begin at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the women’s soccer field, while The men’s game will begin at 1 p.m. at the in-tramural fields.
According to the memorial game’s Facebook event page, “1st Annual Wheat Memo-rial Game,” there will be a moment of silence for the Wheats at 9:40 a.m. before the women’s first game.

Few Greek organizations participate in formal spring re-cruitment. However, all three Greek councils on campus do have some sort of process for conducting recruitment during the spring.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council is the only Greek coun-cil that holds an official spring recruitment. This process, called “intake,” occurs each se-mester but is held on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
“Spring intake for NPHC groups is probably the most prevalent out of the three councils,” said J. Coulter Ward, assistant dean of students for student involvement.
The Greek Forum, which is a requirement to go through intake, for this spring was held last night at Farley Hall.
Junior business major Lavon Hooks is interested in joining a Greek organization in the spring and attended last night’s forum.
“Being part of something big-ger than myself will help me stay humble,” Hooks said.
Sophomore mathematics ma-jor Ashton Boone went to the meeting in search of informa-tion about specific Greek orga-nizations.
“This was the first time I had heard about it. It was more about learning about all the or-ganizations as a whole and why I should pursue one above the others and reasons I should not pursue those others,” Boone said. He also stated that he would not have time for recruit-ment in the fall.
After attending the forum, in-terested students will attend an information meeting for one of the eight organizations affiliated with NPHC.
Following these informa-tional meetings, qualified can-didates will follow the mem-bership intake process with the orientation period, induction
ceremony and education pro-gram.
One of the two other Greek councils, the Interfraternity Council, has an open bidding process throughout the year. That is, at any time, any student can be offered a bid after meet-ing requirements.
“With IFC, a student really has to know the chapter well for it to be an option,” Ward said.
Hayden Horan, president of Kappa Alpha, said that his or-ganization will not be involved in spring recruitment.
“We usually do not actively participate in spring rush be-cause of the sizes of our fall pledge class,” Horan said. “I think spring recruitment is a
good thing because it gives the guys that didn’t rush or find the right house for them a second chance of joining a organization without waiting a whole year.”
Panhellenic Council recruit-ment is possible but rare, as most chapters hit their quotas during fall recruitment.
“Panhellenic spring recruit-ment is almost non-existent be-cause most of our chapters, if not all, are not eligible to take members in the spring,” Ward said.
Students involved in recruit-ment for any of the councils must meet university require-ments, as well as national and chapter requirements, to be eli-gible for spring recruitment.
Spring recruitment under waywith the start of the spring semester, greek organizations are preparing for spring recruitment. The National pan-hellenic Council held its greek forum last night, while the interfraternity Council has an open bidding process and spring recruitment for the panhellenic Council is uncommon.

Best automotive buys for 2013C O L U M N
as used car prices skyrocket, it’s not as bad an investment as it used to be to buy a new car. however, before you throw down 30 grand or finance the car for what seems like 20 years, it would be wise to do some research, and this guide is a great start. The vehicles of 2013 are organized by class and rated on both objec-tive (price, performance, etc.) and subjective (comfort, appearance, etc.) scores.
By Matthew Bishop | [email protected]
COURTESY MAzDA MOTOR CORPORATION
crossover/sUV: mazda CX-5
This is the first year to have an award for best crossover/SUV. The highlight of the CX-5 is its SKYACTIV technology, which includes the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter engine that, when put with the six-speed automatic and available all-wheel-drive, gives a fuel economy of 28 miles per gal-lon, making it the one of most fu-el-efficient SUVs on the market.
Honorable Mention: Jeep Grand Cherokee
COURTESY fORD MOTOR COMPANY
muscle car: ford mustang
The Mustang returns for a third straight year on the list, and the Mustang’s 2013 styling refreshment puts it even further in the lead with a sinister front end and new LED taillights. The GT500’s
new engine is also 0.4 liters larger than the 2012. Of course, on top of that 5.8-li-ter DOHC V-8 is a huge, 2.3-liter supercharger that gives the GT500 662 fear-inducing horsepower.
Honorable Mention: Chevrolet Camaro
Full-size car: dodge Charger
The Charger is a typical Amer-ican car. It delivers impressive fuel economy for a large car of 19 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, thanks to the ZF eight-speed automatic that was instituted last year and is cur-rently only available on the V6.
Honorable Mention: Hyundai Genesis
mid-size car: ford fusion
The midsize car segment is the highest-selling segment in the industry and, therefore, the most competitive. The exterior design is by far the most attractive in its segment
with Aston Martin-esque de-sign cues. The attractiveness continues inside, where Ford used quality materials and soft, supple leather on the seats and steering wheel.
Honorable Mention: Nissan Altima
qUENTIN WINSTINE | The Daily Mississippian
compact car: ford focus
The Focus returns for a sec-ond year because it still has the best overall package. The inte-rior is the best in its class with quality materials and textured surfaces with seats that are both supportive and relaxing for the long haul. The direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine performs well in red light situ-ations and performs well at the pump with up to 40 mpg.
Honorable Mention: Hyundai Elantra
sports car: mazda miata
If I could, I would give this award to both the Mazda Miata and Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ. They both do without frilly technology such as adaptive sus-pension or climate control and replace them with a feeling of man and machine being one. The FR-S has the edge in power with 200 horsepower from its flat four-cylinder, compared to the Miata’s 167. But as great as both cars are, the Miata gets the title again because of a more attractive interior, and you can put its top down.
Honorable Mention: Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ 26906

Women’s hoops host HogsThe lady Rebels look for their second southeastern Conference win of the season when they host the arkansas Razorbacks tonight at 7 p.m. at the Tad smith Coli-seum. all former and active military will receive free admission to tonight’s game.
Ole Miss snapped a five-game losing streak with an 88-81 win against Florida this past Thurs-day before suffering a 72-57 loss to in-state rival Mississippi State on Sunday. The Lady Rebels (8-12, 1-6 Southeastern Confer-ence) return home to play the Arkansas Razorbacks (14-6, 2-5 SEC) tonight at 7 p.m. at Tad Smith Coliseum. This is the first of two matchups with the Razorbacks this year, with the return meeting in Fayetteville, Ark., in the last game of the sea-son.
Head coach Brett Frank said he knows the Lady Rebels have to be prepared for the Razor-backs.
“Arkansas is a well-coached team, they’re competitive every year, and they have some big-time, quality wins already this season,” Frank said. “It’s just one of those games, like almost every game in the SEC — you have to come, you have to be prepared, you have to know their personnel.”
Arkansas was ranked earlier this month, staying in the polls for two weeks and peaking at No. 23. However, two straight losses to Auburn and Texas A&M knocked them out of the rankings.
Arkansas travels to Oxford, having lost three of its last four
games in SEC play. Senior point guard Sarah Watkins and junior forward Keira Peak, who aver-age 12.2 and 11 points, respec-tively, lead the Razorbacks in scoring this season. Peak is also second on the team in rebounds, averaging 6.2 per game, while senior forward Quistelle Wil-liams leads the team with 6.9 rebounds per game.
“The better (Watkins) plays, the better they play,” Frank said. “It will be a huge task for us to be able to contain her and be able to slow her.”
Three players are averaging more than 11 points per game for the Lady Rebels. Sopho-more forward Tia Faleru leads the way, averaging 11.9 points per game, followed by junior point guard Valencia McFar-land and junior guard Diara Moore, who average 11.7 and 11.2 points per game, respec-tively. Faleru also leads the Lady Rebels in rebounding with 4.6 per game, and McFar-land is second on the team with 4.3 rebounds per game.
Military Appreciation NightCurrent and former military
personnel who wish to attend the game will receive free ad-mission for Military Appre-ciation Night. In addition, the first 500 fans will receive a free camo koozie.

bounds per game. But nei-ther should play the entire 40 minutes, and both have had issues with foul trouble.
The two have fouled out a combined five times (Buck-ner 3, Holloway 2) and av-erage a combined 5.8 fouls per game (Buckner 3.2, Hol-loway 2.6) this season. The longer they can stay out of foul trouble and on the court, the better Ole Miss will be.
But somebody will have to replace Jones’ 17 minutes per game.
Kennedy has not ruled out junior Demarco Cox, who has been injured two dif-ferent times this season and hasn’t played since Dec. 23. Parrish Alford of the North-east Mississippi Daily Jour-nal reported Wednesday that Kennedy said that Cox has been cleared for condi-tioning.
So, Ole Miss will likely rely on two freshmen to step up in the frontcourt. Terry Brutus has played just 47 minutes all season, but he is the only healthy forward on the bench.
Anthony Perez, who is 6-foot-9, will also be called upon to play in the front-court.
Perez has played 115 min-utes this season, but the ma-jority of those minutes have been at guard.
Perez could fill a role that plagued Ole Miss when they played Kentucky. Kyle Wiltjer, a forward for the Wildcats, scored 26 points and knocked down five 3-pointers.
Perez can knock down the perimeter shot and made a key three in the come-
back win over Vanderbilt. He may be able to pose a matchup problem for teams as a forward who can stretch the floor and knock down shots.
Another option for Ole Miss will be to use four guards, but Williams’ in-jury makes that more diffi-cult. Expect freshman guard Martavious Newby to see more action on the court, as he will be the first wing player off the bench while Williams is sidelined.
Newby has seen 122 min-utes this season, and he has been described as an animal on the defensive end by his teammates.
Sophomore guard LaDari-us White has been hot as of late, and he will have to con-tinue to be a scoring threat, having scored a combined 39 points in the last two games.
The positions shouldn’t determine who plays. Ole Miss should play its best, most productive players.
Kennedy will have to mix and match the rotation to fig-ure out how to win games. It may be his most crucial task in his time at Ole Miss, as this year’s team remains in position to make the NCAA Tournament.
If junior guard Marshall Henderson is to get the op-portunity to shine on the big stage in March, if Holloway, Buckner and Williams are to end their careers with an NCAA tournament appear-ance and if Kennedy is to make the dance for the first time in his head coaching career, some inexperienced freshmen are going to have step up and make plays.

bad at recruiting. Everyone is good at it, and it gets a little tougher this week. We’re cer-tainly in on the right guys. We’ve just got to find a way to hopefully close on a good number of them.”
Two prospects that many are keeping their eyes on are the unanimous No. 1-rated overall player Robert Nkem-diche, a defensive end from Loganville, Ga., and Laremy Tunsil, the unanimous No. 1-rated offensive tackle from Lake City, Fla. Both have Ole Miss among their top schools.
Batesville native and South Panola defensive back Anto-nio Conner, the No. 2-rated safety in the country accord-ing to ESPN, has shown high interest in the Rebels.
Freeze has also had some assistance from players who have already committed to
the Rebels and believes that commitments recruiting pros-pects is helpful in the recruit-ing process.
“I think any time you get kids that have that personal-ity, and you get one that is a really good player and has a great personality that people want to be drawn to it helps,” Freeze said. “It’s no question that I think that is one of the things that has been very suc-cessful and got us to this point.
“Some of the kids that came with us early on have really been loyal and stayed strong and continued to help us re-cruit.”
Ole Miss has one more weekend to host recruits be-fore they make their decisions next week.
According to Scout.com, the Rebels are scheduled to have three players in town or their respective official visits, including four-star offensive tackle Christian Morris, three-star offensive guard Wilson Bell and three-star junior col-lege defensive end Jarran Reed.

The way Ole Miss re-sponds to Tuesday night’s 87-74 loss to Kentucky will define the season.
Ole Miss could lose more than its first SEC game. Sev-eral media outlets reported Wednesday that sophomore forward Aaron Jones is out for the season after sustain-ing a torn ACL in Tuesday’s loss to Kentucky, while se-nior guard Nick Williams is out indefinitely with a foot injury.
With Jones out for the re-mainder of the season, the Rebels face a massive task to find some depth in the frontcourt.
Senior forwards Reggie Buckner and Murphy Hol-loway have been critical for Ole Miss, combining for nearly 25 points and 18 re-

freeze talks National Signing Dayole miss football head coach hugh freeze spoke with the media Tuesday night during halftime of the men’s basketball game versus Kentucky to talk about his first full season of recruiting in the sEC that ends with National signing day on feb. 6.
With National Signing Day quickly approaching, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze is on track to having arguably one
of the best recruiting classes in the history of the program. Freeze spoke with the media Tuesday during halftime of the men’s basketball game against Kentucky.
After leading Ole Miss to
a 7-6 record this past season, including a win in the BBVA Compass Bowl, Freeze said re-cruiting has been easier after establishing a body of work.
“I don’t think we would be sitting here talking about the class we’re hoping to bring in without the momentum that was created by the end of the season,” Freeze said. “Win-ning the Egg Bowl and being competitive in the big games against Alabama, LSU, and Texas A&M, then going and winning the bowl game cer-tainly gave some credibility to our message to recruits.”
Ole Miss currently has the 11th ranked recruiting class according to Rivals.com, but could easily jump into the top 10 with many undecided big-name targets on the board. With less than a week to go before signing day (Feb. 6), Freeze believes he and his staff must stay consistent with what they have done so far to help boost the class.
“We’ve got to stay consis-tent,” he said. “With this con-ference, there is no one who is
