Relay for Life raises over $21,000 Finalists chosen to fill dean of students position
BY DM STAFF [email protected]
The University of Mississip-pi’s Division of Student Affairs has officially chosen two candi-dates for the position of assis-tant vice chancellor for student affairs and dean of students.
Candidates Bob Rasmussen and Melinda Sutton gave pre-sentations to the public March 18 and March 24.
Rasmussen currently serves as the dean of students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. At Utah Valley Univer-sity, he has served as director of student life and leadership and director of campus events, as well as holding other leadership positions.
Sutton currently serves as the associate dean of student life at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. She has also served as deputy to the dean of students at the University of Texas at Austin.
Current Dean of Students Thomas “Sparky” Reardon an-nounced this past summer that he would be retiring on April 30 after 36 years of service to Ole Miss. Before becoming the dean of students, Reardon was the director of pre-admissions and the associate dean of students.
“At this point, we are still gathering feedback from vari-ous constituents that met with the candidates,” Vice Chancel-lor for Student Affairs Brandi Hephner Labanc said.
Labanc said she hopes to re-view that information early this week.
The Division of Student Af-fairs is expected to announce the new dean of students once an official decision has been made.
In the past three years, Lafayette County has been the fastest-grow-ing county in Mississippi, having increased in population by 8 per-cent since the last official census in 2010, according to statisitics re-leased by the U.S. Census Bureau March 27. The statistics show the population growth of Mississippi by individual county in the past year. In the period between July 2012 and July 2013, Lafayette County’s population rose by 1.62 percent, the third-largest increase behind Madison and Lamar Counties.
Clifford Holley, research associ-ate at the Center for Population Studies at The University of Mis-sissippi, said that in-state migration is a major reason for Lafayette’s growth.
“When other counties lose pop-ulation, they probably lose it to La-
fayette County,” Holley said. Out-of-state migration and in-
ternational migration aren’t heavi-ly present as factors in Mississippi’s population change.
While Lafayette County’s growth is steady and rapid, the state as a whole stacks up poorly against the rest of the country.
“We’re on the bottom side of increase,” Holley said. “We’re probably about the 10th-slowest-growing state.”
The majority of the growth in the United States is concentrated in the West and Southeast, and primarily in areas with access to larger cities.
With Lafayette being heavily in-fluenced by the university, there is an atypical spike in the population of young adults. Lafayette County has as many people aged 20-24 as Jackson County, which contains al-most three times the total popula-tion of Lafayette.
Holley said the presence of the
university greatly contributes to the allure of Oxford, especially among retirees. The town contains amenities such as the Ford Center and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium that are easily accessible without the congestion and rush of a big city.
The large elderly population of the Oxford area, according to Holley, will most likely skew the size and demographics of Lafay-ette County in the future.
“Unless we see more interna-tional migration, we’ll probably start seeing the end of population growth, or even population de-cline,” he said.
The population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau are gathered by comparing several statistical observations from the counties, in-cluding births compared to deaths and data from the Internal Reve-nue Service and Medicaid, as well as net internal or domestic migra-tion.

Enough politics. Let’s talk — well, type, really — relationships. Romantic relationships, that is. We all have them, for better or worse. Some people need them, some don’t. But whatever your views are toward them, you most likely will be in one during your collegiate career.
So, what makes them work? And how can you have a fulfilling connection? Read on, men and women alike. I hope you’ll find something that helps you in this short piece. I’ve tailored it to re-volve around college life more than anything, but don’t fret older read-ers; the basic rules below apply to any relationship or marriage.
No. 1: Solidify friendship. I’m not disputing the one-night stand or love-at-first-sight mentality that is ubiquitous in college life. That is, sharing a connection then quickly establishing a title, or thinking you share that connection. It works for some people. But mostly, I see cou-ples succeed that have a friendship base. The older I get (which is not very old right now), the more I see genuine friendship is key, even over some family.
So this certainly can apply to the foundation of any relationship. It
involves true erudition, and often being able to share that awkward silence that mere acquaintances can’t stand. If you’ve got a solid base, it may be easy to break the house that’s built upon it, but start-ing afresh after a problem is much easier. Particularly given that our rash, young emotions create trivial problems out of thin air more of-ten than our government.
No. 2: Don’t focus on the nega-tives. Who wants to be around a negative Nancy? No one, that’s who. People like to be around posi-tive people. They seek their time and enjoy their encouragement. Yes, there is a time to vent about your problems, but venting about each others’ weaknesses is not the proper discourse. You’ll find that even between classes, sending a kind word via text or carving time out of your day to give an uplift-ing compliment goes farther in the long run than a cheap indulgence because you have to.
No. 3: Treat it like a game, and you’ll always be playing one. This should really be No. 1. Why do young people feel this arena is a game to be played and won? Should you call or text first? What should your response time to that communication be? Or just pre-tending not to care.
These are seemingly all symp-toms of our generation’s inability to vocalize and express our true feelings that sure would help our relationship’s honesty meter. If you find that the key to securing a partner involves this game, you’ll
be playing one through your whole relationship — and it oftentimes won’t go far, because someone ul-timately wins and loses.
No. 4: Respect involves appre-ciation and listening. Lord, haven’t we strayed far away from this. Se-lective listening doesn’t cut it. We should listen twice as much as we speak. Yes, women, this still applies to you. If you’re doing all the talk-ing, chances are the other person has stopped listening. Encourage mutual, not one-sided, conversa-tion. Whoever knew your partner knew so much or had so much to say before you started listening?
Respect is not just an Aretha Franklin song; it is tricky, and can easily be taken for granted. “Gen-tleism,” or however one chooses to spell it, doesn’t die with feminism. There are proper ways to show you care. Learning the gentleman’s code is one of them and showing genuine appreciation toward your partner because those manners be-ing practiced is just as important.
No. 5: Anger, whether alcohol-induced or not, can always be han-dled better. Yeah, the statistics say you’re drinking, even underage. And you’ll most likely be doing it with your better half, or a group of friends talking about your better half. Either way, it’s best to leave ar-guments, or anger that stems from them, for another day when cooler heads prevail.
Sounds easy, right? Not really, until you’re there in the moment, running out of the bar crying or furious. Best make that commit-
ment to leave it until the morning; besides, no one wants to hear your fight when they’re trying to have a good time too.
No. 6: Commonalities are im-portant as any other life goals. Couples, even in college, who aren’t sharing goals with each other are missing out. You find out what commonalities exist so you can do No. 4 above and truly appreciate one another, thus allowing you to set aside time to engage in those goals or commonalities together.
You like watching football or hunting, and she likes shopping on the Square. Take the time to do what’s important to the other person; they’ll appreciate you more, and you’ll have more expe-riences whether you like them or not. Importantly, people who set goals generally have been proven to be more successful — why not let goal-setting and the success that comes with it be a part of your re-lationship too?
And lucky No. 7: Flexibility over rigidity is key. We have to do things we don’t like. We have to put up with characteristics and traits that may bug the hell out of us. But you know what? Sometimes we have to move on. If you’re getting in think-ing you’ll change him or her later, time to rethink your situation and move on. Try to implement some of the above and you may be sur-prised at just how happy you can be in your newly found relation-ship.

Making relationships count

The U.S. Postal Service will hold a community meet-ing at the Jackson Avenue Center April 3 regarding the proposed termination of The University of Mississippi’s post office. The termination is a result of the Feb. 6 an-nouncement of the UM Stu-
dent Union renovation and expansion plans expected to begin this summer.
The post office will perma-nently shut down on June 30, and the Department of Stu-dent Housing will aid in de-livering mail and packages to both students and faculty, ac-cording to a university press release.
The purpose of the meeting
is to explain the changes that will take place and to address any opinions or concerns. The meeting is open to the public and is expected to last from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The press release also states that the first floor of Crosby Hall is expected to become the new mail center for stu-dents who live in residence halls. The option of students
receiving text or web alerts when their mail has arrived has also been discussed.
Faculty members will re-ceive their mail at the depart-ments where they work.
According to a letter writ-ten by Postmaster Dana Amos on March 1, the university will assume complete respon-sibility to act independently as a mail unit once the postal service in the Union has been suspended.
Because the university will be keeping its own ZIP code, the mail headed to university departments will first be de-livered to the Jackson Avenue Center. From there, university mail workers will deliver the mail to individual buildings and its employees.
Other university post office
customers who previously had a mailbox will have the option of getting a P.O. box at the Oxford post office, located one mile from campus. How-ever, the Oxford post office is only offering P.O. boxes on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Described by author and creative writing professor Tom Franklin as having the best titles of any author he knows, Megan Abbott has been in-spiring Oxford’s readers and writers ever since her first visit down South in 2007.
The current John and Renee Grisham Writer-in-Residence at The University of Missis-sippi and this year’s Southern Literary Festival’s keynote speaker, Megan Abbott is an award-winning author of six novels, including “The End of Everything” and “Dare Me.” Her latest novel, “Dare Me,” has been named one of the best books of 2012 by Amazon and Entertainment Weekly
and is on its way to becoming a motion picture. Abbott also has a new novel, “The Fever,” slated for release in June 2014.
This past Friday, Abbott’s keynote address at the South-ern Literary Festival took the audience down memory lane as she explored the “weirdness of literature” by discussing Archie Comics and Faulkner to Freud and everything in between. Abbott’s quirky hu-mor and humble attitude en-tertained the audience in the most unexpected of ways.
Starting her keynote by ref-erencing Tennessee Williams, Abbott said that “the weird-ness is the greatness in all great books.” She continued to describe the weirdness in some of her favorite novels by admitting that when she first
read William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury,” she did not know what she was read-ing at all.
“This was the first time I was reading a book, finished it, flipped to page one and started again,” Abbott said. “These types of books are the muse to ourselves and to other books.”
Abbott cites Faulkner and Jack Pendarvis as the reasons for her move from New York to Oxford.
“Oxford is the richest lit-erary locale I could have dreamed of,” she said.
Abbott is not only working on her writing; she is also a professor for an advanced fic-tion workshop at the university this semester. Abbott praised her students for their creativ-ity and “unusual literary sur-prises.”
Abbott referenced a few of her students in her keynote, and many of them were there Friday night to support her.
Mary Marge Locker, junior English major and current stu-dent of Abbott, described her class as “a time to talk about all the great things that make writing weird. Abbott is always so great.”
Abbott received the invita-tion to be the keynote speaker about a year ago from Beth Spencer, the organizer of this year’s festival. The festival was held as part of Oxford’s
21st Conference for the Book, bringing in students from uni-versities around Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and other nearby states. As part of the
festival, the night’s events after the keynote address at The Inn at Ole Miss included a book signing at Off Square Books and a concert at the Power-house.
After this semester, Abbott’s plans definitely include com-ing back to Oxford. Her next major appearance will be in 2015 as the honorary curator of the William Eggleston ex-hibition at The University of Mississippi Museum.
“I am very excited,” Abbott said. “It’s a good excuse to come back.”

The Ole Miss men’s track and field team entered the season ranked 12th nationally, and both the men’s and women’s teams have impressed this season.
Ole Miss debuted the outdoor season by hosting the Ole Miss Open at the Ole Miss Track and Field Complex March 22. The Rebels had a record-setting day en route to winning 12 total events while competing against 13 teams.
Junior Sam Kendricks led the way as he broke his own facil-ity record in the pole vault by clearing 18-2 to win first place. Fifth-year senior Ricky Robert-son exploded out of the gate after returning from a redshirt season
by equaling his own facility re-cord of 7-5 in the high jump. After transferring from Illinois, sophomore Nathan Loe debuted his career as a Rebel by setting the school record in the hammer throw at 202-1.
The Rebels also had wide-spread success outside of their record-setting performances. Freshman indoor All-American Jalen Miller won the 100- and 200-meter sprints, junior Dame-on Morgan won the 800-meter race, junior Robert Semien won the 110-meter hurdles and junior Phillip Young won the long jump.
In addition to his personal per-formance, Miller led the 4x100 relay team to a solid, season-opening time of 40.22. Miller, All-American Mike Granger, freshman football player and
sprinter Kailo Moore and sopho-more Anthony Branch comprised the relay team.
Junior Taryn Hartfield led the way for the women by win-ning the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.88. Junior Kierra White won the long jump with 19-2.5, senior Mary Ashton Nail won the javelin throw with 126-11.5 and junior McKenna Coughlin achieved a personal-best 11:05.15 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase on her way to a win.
The Rebels then continued their hot start at the Clyde Lit-tlefield Texas Relays, a four-day event last week at the Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin.
The Rebels won their first event on day two of the relays. The Rebels’ squad of freshman Robert Domanic, senior Montez
Griffin, freshman Will Spiers and freshman Sean Tobin won the distance medley relay in 9:39.51, a time that ranks them second in school history.
Kendricks’ world-leading pole vault marked the highlight of day three. He won the pole vault by clearing 18-8.25.
Robertson led the way on day four as he won the high jump with an NCAA-leading 7-6.
The women’s team did not field a winner, but White earned third place in the long jump with 19-9.5.
The Rebels also had athletes compete in the Memphis Invita-tional on Saturday, the last day of the Texas Relays.
Junior Margaret Harkness was the lone winner for the Reb-els. She won the 3,000 meter in
10:13.83. Her teammates, senior Amy McCrory and freshman Saga Barzowski, finished closely behind her at second and fourth respectively.
The team also had freshman Breanna Tate finish second in the 100-meter final, and freshman Arielle Wallace placed second in the high jump with a height of 5-0.25.
The men did not field a win-ner, but Loe finished second in the hammer throw with a dis-tance of 186-1, and freshman Julius Lembke placed third in the 800-meter race with a time of 1:57. 24.
The team will look to continue its success this Saturday as it hosts the Ole Miss Invitational at the Ole Miss Track and Field Com-plex.

Rebel Netters fall to Mississippi StateBY DYLAN RUBINO
ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian
Nik Scholtz returns the ball during a match Sunday.
The Rebels Netters went down 4-2 to Mississippi State yesterday at the Palmer/Sal-loum Tennis Center at Ole Miss.
The Rebels got off to a great start by winning the doubles point. Junior Nik Scholtz and freshman Ricardo Jorge closed out the first victory with an 8-4 decision on court 2, and then a tiebreaker decided the last two doubles matches.
First, sophomore Stefan Lindmark and junior William Kallberg lost to Malte Stropp and Jordan Angus of Mississip-pi State. The point came down to senior Johan Backstrom and sophomore Joe Rogers, and they won 8-7 (7-1) in the tie-breaker to give the Rebels the early 1-0 lead.
Singles play began with less fortune than doubles. Kall-berg lost his match 1-6, 0-6 on court 2 against Stropp; Kall-berg is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered last week. Backstrom then dominated his match and won 6-1, 6-0 on court 4, and the win gave the Rebels a 2-1 lead in the overall match.
Losses by Jorge, Lindmark, and redshirt freshman Vinod Gowda ultimately gave the Bulldogs the victory.
“That was a tough one. The guys fought really hard,” head coach Billy Chadwick said. “Really did a good job getting the doubles point.”
Nik Scholtz never got to fin-ish his match against Florian Lakat. The overall match deci-sion arrived before the conclu-sion of Scholtz’s match, but he was leading 6-3, 2-6, 5-4 when it ended.
“There was no doubt that Nik was going to win that match,” Chadwick said. “Nik was going to serve it out, and the other guy did a really good job of playing well on the match points that Nik had,
but Nik was going to win that match.”
The match came down to Gowda, who fell 7-6, 4-6, 1-6 after leading in the second set 4-2.
“It would’ve been good to see Vinod challenge the guy more, especially in the begin-ning of the third set,” Chad-wick said. “It’s disappointing when you’re up and you don’t close it out, but that’s when you’ve really got to be tough.”
The Rebels now have a week of preparation before traveling to Columbia, S.C., on Friday to take on the Gamecocks.
