Jeffrey Jackson, associate professor of sociology at The University of Mississippi, was recently selected as the Mis-sissippi Humanities Council’s 2012 Teacher of the Year.

The Humanities Teacher Awards recognize the contribu-tions of humanities faculty at each of the state’s colleges and universities. Nominations are made by the college president or humanities dean, and Jack-son’s name was put forward for the award because he had previously won the Cora Lee Graham Award for Outstand-ing Teaching of Freshmen.

“It is an honor to have one of our faculty members rep-resented next to some of the best scholars in the state,” said Kirsten Dellinger, chair of the sociology and anthropology de-

partment. “Dr. Jackson puts his students first and works hard to spark their imaginations by drawing them into dialogues about pressing issues, including globalization, poverty and rac-ism.”

Holly Reynolds, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, also praised Jackson’s in-novative style of teaching

“His courses challenge stu-dents to think critically about our society,” Reynolds said. “Since he arrived at the univer-sity in 1999, more than 1,500 freshmen have been intro-duced to the kinds of ideas that open a new way of looking at the world.”

Broadcast journalism senior Jane Ball took one of Jack-son’s sociology classes this past spring.

“Everything he said was in-fluential,” Ball said. “No matter what the topic was, it was never

a dull moment.”Each recipient of the award is

required to prepare and deliver a public lecture upon receiving the honor. Dellinger said Jack-son’s lecture, which focused on his global South research, was a testament to his “engaging teaching lifestyle.”

“As far as some of the main points, if you think about pov-erty on a worldwide scale, 2 bil-lion of the world’s population is living on less than $2 a day,” Jackson said. “I was interested in exploring whether or not some of those 2 billion people live in the United States.”

Jackson said he was also inter-ested in discovering ways that poverty in wealthy countries overlaps with poverty in poor areas.

“In a state like Mississippi, we are much more familiar with the reality of extreme poverty than in other places in the coun-

try,” Jackson said. “For that rea-son, I think we (Mississippi) are (in) a good place to be working on these issues as scholars.”

Jackson said that throughout the award process, the univer-sity has been supportive of his research of the “global South.”

“Chancellor Jones has said one of the things we need to do better as a university is address the problems we face in state,” he said

When Jones was first intro-duced to the university, Jack-son said he remembers him asking: “What does it mean to be a great university in a poor state?”

To answer that question, Jack-son said, “One of the things it should mean is that we should be providing leadership on is-sues that affect people in the state, people in poverty and looking for solutions in those kinds of problems.”

COURTESY UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS

Courtney Davis, clini-cal assistant professor of pharmacy practice at The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), is working to improve diabetes patients’ care through a national, multi-site program called Proj-ect IMPACT: Diabetes.

The purpose of the program, funded by the American Pharmacists As-sociation Foundation, is to implement better diabetes care in areas that need it the most, like the Missis-sippi Delta.

In October, Davis made a presentation at the American Diabetes Asso-ciation’s fifth annual Dis-parities Partnership Fo-rum in Washington, D.C., about how to integrate more pharmacists into di-abetes care.

Davis said she believes pharmacists bring a unique set of skills to both the clinical and the retail pharmacy arena.

C O L U M N

I hesitate to write a column concerning the racial incident on campus this past week, but ultimately I feel compelled to add my opinion to the discus-sion, despite the abundance of more qualified analyses that al-ready exist.

The events of last Tuesday will forever remain somewhat un-clear and inevitably influenced by individual perspective, but that does not mean they can be ignored. We need to ask our-selves why people reacted this way, and what this protest says about the culture of The Uni-versity of Mississippi and the perception of that culture from a national or even global view.

Initial reports of the event from students on campus in-

troduced the word “riot” to capture the incident, which larger media outlets immedi-ately adopted in their coverage. Undoubtedly, the history of the school encouraged this percep-tion.

There is never an appropriate time for racial slurs, but the pro-test’s alignment with the univer-sity’s 50 years of integration cel-ebration disturbs the image of the school as racially redeemed and reminds us of the nonlinear progress of race relations.

This university’s administra-tion must now incorporate this incident into an otherwise large-ly positive representation of the school as far removed from the 1962 riots with the election of a black homecoming queen and a significant black student population.

The media attention given to

the protest forced the chancellor and the school to respond in the form of a message to students and faculty, as well as with a candlelight vigil. Are these ac-tions appropriate?

Some suggest that the univer-sity overreacted by acknowl-edging the actions of a small number of students in such a prominent way. Both the mes-sage and the vigil provide space to condemn racist language (which I view as necessary), yet ultimately they fail to examine the underlying causes of the protest.

This election represents the first time an elected president did not capture a majority of the white vote, which cannot be ig-nored when white students use racial slurs to protest a political election. This is not just about Republicans and Democrats,

but also a deeper discomfort concerning the notion of being displaced by minority voters.

A student involved in the protest told Mississippi Public Broadcasting that he had no regrets about his participation and through the protest hoped to defend his Confederate heri-tage.

Part of the overblown media coverage of the incident can be attributed directly to these lin-gering sentiments on campus.

Is there a way to memorial-ize the school’s involvement in the Civil War and simulta-neously respect students who, understandably, consider them-selves opposed to Confederate ideology? Last Tuesday’s white protesters feel marginalized, as-serting that they have lost their

political voice. Some white stu-dents feel similarly when sym-bols connected to the Confed-eracy disappear from campus, as evidenced by the Colonel Reb debacle.

The fact remains that the campus retains a plethora of Confederate symbolism. Par-ticipants in last week’s candle-light vigil walked past a monu-ment to Confederate soldiers as they gathered, serving as a stark reminder of the symbol’s presence on campus, which exacerbates negative percep-tions of the school.

This is not to imply that I fa-vor removing every vestige of the Confederacy from campus, but rather to remind those up-set with national media cover-age of the event that there are reasons The University of Mis-

sissippi receives immediate at-tention at the first sign of racial strife.

Most important is the ac-knowledgment that maintain-ing monuments to the Confed-eracy denies black (and white) students’ justified objection to symbols connected to slavery. We can remember Confeder-ate dead without commemo-rating the cause of the Confed-eracy, and the best way to do this is by eliminating institu-tional symbols of slavery from our campus while respecting the unfortunate deaths on both sides of the conflict.

As a community, we should acknowledge and respect all positions and remember that symbols provide different meanings for different people.

SYMBOLS, continued from page 2windows open for voter fraud

C O L U M N

Leading up to the election, and even after, the opposition to common-sense voter protec-tion laws has increased. The ar-gument, however, has not been framed around a problem with the policy; rather, the focus has been on trying to explain that such legislation is not necessary.

I often hear opponents to voter identification laws claim that such laws are unnecessary because voter fraud does not exist. Their basis for this claim is that few cases of voter fraud have been proven and pros-ecuted.

This is equivalent to claim-ing that if police do not catch a robber, then the robbery never happened.

However, the push behind photo identification laws is not in response to proven voter fraud. It is a response to the open windows that could lead to voter fraud.

For instance, there have been multiple reports of Colo-rado counties that had more registered voters than voting-age population. Some of these counties had voter rolls that were bloated to 140 percent of the voting-age population.

Many of these counties in Colorado are filled with people that either only live there for part of the year or only stay a few years for work before mov-ing on. Thus, it is not implau-sible for there to be a realistic explanation of the bloated rolls. However, this is a huge win-dow for voter fraud that could easily be prevented by photo identification laws.

Nonpartisan research group Pew Center on the States re-leased data earlier this year that

estimates over 24 million voter registrations — 1 in 8 — are inac-curate, out of date or duplicates. On top of that, it is estimated that nearly 2.8 million people are registered in more than one state, while another 1.8 million are deceased yet still on the rolls.

The American voting system is filled with vulnerabilities that may or may not currently be exploited. So, why is such legis-lation that can greatly decrease that vulnerability so opposed?

This is analogous to preven-tive health care measures that are currently gathering mo-mentum in the medical field. People are starting to realize that even if they do not have any signs of problems, it is bet-ter to do routine checkups and work to prevent health issues rather than take a chance that none will develop.

Photo identification laws do the same thing. The claim that these laws are solutions in search of a problem is falla-cious. Such legislation is a so-lution to a potential problem. After all, who wants to risk a problem developing that could have been solved with com-

mon-sense legislation?A common refrain from vot-

er ID supporters is that photo identification is needed for so many other daily things, like cashing a check, buying ciga-rettes or alcohol, purchasing a firearm, boarding a plane or train and even applying for wel-fare benefits. Opponents will be quick to point out, though, that voting is a more dearly held right than the others.

The flaw with this reasoning lies in the low voter registration and turnout ratio. If voting was truly a more dearly held con-stitutional right than buying al-cohol or bearing firearms, then those ratios would be far higher than they really are.

Even so, if voting is such a dearly held right, then should it not receive the most protection from potential fraud, whether that fraud has been proven or not?

Let’s ensure that our elections eliminate all room for potential fraud by shutting the windows left open in the process as it stands now.

“We are the medication experts, but we are also trained in managing patients with diabetes,” Davis said. “In a retail setting, they en-counter patients who have questions as well, so our expertise affects a lot of our population.”

There are 71 patients cur-rently enrolled in the proj-ect, which practices at the Diabetes Care Group in Jackson, according to Ole Miss News.

Patients receive at least three visits a year with at least three months between each visit.

During their appoint-ments, pharmacists check certain factors, including systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and give compre-hensive eye exams and dia-betic foot exams.

According to Davis, who is part of the program’s phar-macist team, weight loss is the hardest lifestyle change for most diabetic patients. She said she believes that empowering patients will make the disease easier to manage.

“Once our patient goes home, we can’t control them,” she said. “So em-powering them to make those changes makes it not as hard.”

Dr. Leigh Ann Ross, as-sociate dean for clinical af-fairs, said she believes it is Davis’ caring and engaging spirit that makes her rela-tionship with her patients so special.

“She had an ability to con-nect with patients,” Ross said. “She is very good at working with patients and empowering them to help them take care of them-selves.”

Davis said she hopes other pharmacists outside UMMC will implement this model in their communities.

Brianna Mills, a pharma-cy senior, said she believes pharmacists should be more personal and interactive to improve health care.

“A lot of people see us as, see the pharmacist, get your medication and go home,” Mills said.

“They don’t really talk to the pharmacists. They can really impact their overall outcome in more ways that are better than making sure they are taking their medi-cation.”

Laporte excelling after injury last seasonSince tearing her ACL at the beginning of last season, Ty Laporte has come back strong to have a successful freshman season.

Redshirt freshman middle blocker Ty Laporte had a frustrating start to her col-lege volleyball career. On the second day of practice last season, she tore her ACL and was forced to sit out the entire year and re-hab her knee.

“It was really disappoint-

ing because I was already a rookie and really raw in volleyball,” she said. “It put me more behind, and spring was the time you learn ev-erything and I was injured.”

She suffered her injury by going up for a block on the right side and landing on a teammate as she was came down.

Rehabbing an ACL can be tough for any athlete,

but so far, Laporte has suf-fered no setbacks from the injury. Her drive and deter-mination have resulted in a breakout freshman season at Ole Miss.

“I’ve been doing a lot re-hab since last year till now,” Laporte said. “Just a lot of strengthening, bending, extending and just trying to make it strong enough, so when I do come down again, it won’t tear.”

Laporte has bounced back this season by starting in 18 of 25 matches and play-ing in 76 of 91 sets. She is currently third on the team, first for middle blockers, with 171 kills, behind junior outside hitter Kara Mor-gan’s 270 and senior outside hitter Allegra Wells’ 207.

“After a very frustrating freshman year for her, (she) has really worked hard and plays an important role as a redshirt freshman,” head coach Joe Getzin said.

“Her explosiveness and her energy is very conta-gious on the team, and be-cause of that all the middles have improved greatly. She’s setting the bar pretty high.”

Laporte said she started volleyball late compared to other girls who have been playing since they were younger.

“The high school I went to was not very big on vol-leyball, so I actually started

club my junior year,” she said.

Her recruitment process was not like other girls who get recruited either.

“I got recruited pretty late. Most people know where they’re going sopho-more year,” Laporte said. “My high school head coach actually knew coach Getzin. He came out and saw me, and he liked me. Then after he looked at me, a bunch of other schools started look-ing at me too.”

The Irmo, S.C., native is also a member of the Ole Miss women’s track and field team. In high school, Laporte lettered all four years and was a three-time state champion in the high jump. On the volleyball court, it is easy to see her high jumping ability when she jumps for a kill or a

block. She has tallied a kill or

more in every game except two matches this season, when she did not see action. Laporte has also recorded double-digit kill perfor-mances in eight games this season for the Lady Rebels, including a season-high 20-kill match against Georgia last month.

“Hopefully, she contin-ues to improve,” Getzin said. “She’s putting up great numbers as a (redshirt) freshman, which speaks vol-umes for her. As a player this year, we’ve had a full year of working with her now, we’ve really seen some great growth in her.”

that time of the year, though.”Core impresses on spe-

cial teamsTrue freshman wide receiver

Cody Core has been on the special teams coverage unit for much of the season and had his best game Saturday. Core recorded four tackles on the coverage team and showcased an increased physicality that pleased his head coach.

“I was thrilled,” Freeze said. “We’ve harassed him several weeks in a row about him be-ing the best looking special teams player we have on cov-erage but the least physical. So, he said he was going to prove that he was physical, and he did. He made a lot of plays. It was good to see.”

Freeze talks missed callReplays of Vanderbilt quar-

terback Jordan Rodgers’ scramble on a 4th-and-2 late in the fourth quarter appear to show that Rodgers came up short and should not have been awarded a critical first down.

It’s a call that Freeze includ-ed in his package of plays that he sends every week to the Southeastern Conference of-fice.

“I turn in all our calls every week, and, certainly, that was one (of them),” Freeze said. “I think it’s obvious to everyone that sees it that the spot was a

generous one and an incorrect one. It depends on where they would have changed it to as to what the result would have been.

“They make mistakes some-times; we make mistakes. That

was a bad one at a bad time for us.”

Quote of the game“PG version? Get it together. That’s the best way I can say it.”

– Nick Williams on a PG version of Andy Kennedy’s halftime speech.

Williams added 11 points, as four Rebels scored in double figures.

Freshman guard Der-rick Millinghaus scored four points in his first career start, in place of sophomore guard Jarvis Summers. Summers, who missed some practice this week with a slight knee injury, played 24 minutes and fin-ished with nine points and six assists.

Junior forward Jason Carter missed his second game due to a “violation of team rules,” and junior forward Demarco Cox remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

Anthony Raffa led Coastal Carolina with 20 points. Raffa, who averaged over 16 points per game last season, has scored in double digits in 11 straight games, dating back to last season.

Ole Miss will look to im-prove to 3-0 when they take on the University of Arkansas-Little Rock on Friday at 7 p.m. from Tad Smith Coliseum.

Coastal Carolina gave Ole Miss a scare early with a 39-36 lead at halftime, but junior guard Marshall Henderson helped bring the Rebels (2-0) back, as they dominated the second half and won 90-72.

Henderson led the team in scoring with 27 points, his sec-ond straight 20-plus point game to begin his Ole Miss career. He buried six 3-pointers on 13 attempts and has been a source of enthusiasm for the team and the fans.

“Someone had to come out and be an energy guy,” Hender-son said. “The crowd was a little dead. So you (have to) do some-thing to pick it up.”

Henderson played to the crowd many times after knock-ing down a shot or distributing one of his four assists.

“He’s got passion,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “There’s a big difference between passion and emotion. Passion is good, emotion is bad.”

Coastal Carolina (1-1) had a lot of success around the bas-ket in the first half, as they had

16 points in the paint and out-rebounded Ole Miss 22-14 after 20 minutes.

“I didn’t like our approach at all,” Kennedy said. “We were flat. I didn’t think we were as en-gaged early. We had a talk about some things at the half, and I thought our upperclassmen, most especially, stepped up in the second half.”

Ole Miss began to see success when they went inside early in the second half. Senior forward Murphy Holloway recorded his second double-double in as many games this season with 15

points and 12 rebounds.“We tried to make a concerted

effort to attack them inside out,” Kennedy said.

Holloway’s frontcourt mate, senior Reginald Buckner, who fouled out with 6:48 left in the game, had no points or re-bounds in the first half, but fin-ished with six points and two rebounds.

Sophomore forward Aaron Jones played 25 minutes and finished with 10 points and four rebounds. Senior guard Nick

Henderson LIFts rebeLs past cHantIcLeersAfter trailing at halftime, Ole Miss outscored Coastal Carolina 54-33 in the second half en route to a 90-72 win Tuesday night. junior guard Marshall Henderson led the team in scoring for the second straight game with 27 points, including six 3-pointers.

wallace sidelined TuesdaySophomore quarterback Bo Wallace sat out most of Tuesday’s practice to rest his bruised shoulder as the Rebels prepare for a road contest at LSU Saturday. Head coach Hugh Freeze also talked about a missed call in this past weekend’s loss to Vanderbilt.

It’s that time of the year where few players are com-pletely, 100 percent healthy.

That is the case for Ole Miss and was the reason sopho-more quarterback Bo Wallace sat out the majority of Tues-day’s practice. Wallace has dealt with a shoulder bruise and soreness for most of the season.

“It’s not a structural deal, it’s just that same bruise that he’s had,” Freeze said. “We held him out of most everything, really. We got Barry (Bru-netti) and Maikhail (Miller) a bunch of snaps. We’ve done that some in other weeks, too; (Wallace) will be fine. He wanted to go today. We’re just

trying to get his arm to where it has some pop to it, you know. I feel like he’s lost a lit-tle zip trying to push through the pain that he’s had.

“It’s never going to get well until you rest it, but maybe we can get it to where it’s better on Saturdays than just trying to push through it every Tues-day, Wednesday and Thurs-day.”

Freeze also cut out some of the Rebels’ pre-practice work to shorten things up for the players.

“We did cut out some of the pre-practice,” Freeze said. “Really did about the same amount of practice, we just cut out of that pre-practice that took about 20 minutes. It’s
