Jones was president of the Beta Club and French club, staff editor for the school newspaper, and a member of the National Honor So-ciety. She is considering go-ing to law school and then working as a lawyer for a global corporation.“Being chosen as one of

Ole Miss’s Croft Scholars is an incredible honor. It’s an

incredible feeling to have been awarded such a sig-nificant scholarship that al-lows me to study something that I am really passionate about,” Jones said. “I am especially grateful to

have been selected for this scholarship because it is so competitive. Everyone in the program is hard work-ing and deserving; I feel honored just to have been accepted into the Croft In-stitute.”Patrick Fields, 18, from

Byram, graduated as Vale-dictorian from Terry High School. Fields was an named All-Star Student by the The Clarion Ledger, won the Wendy’s High School Heis-man, and is a Byron scholar. He wants to be a mission-ary and work for the United States in Latin America. Stephen Woods is from

Olive Branch and gradu-ated from Center Hill High School. He is studying German, and is a part of the German Language Initia-

tive. “I want to do as much as

possible for the program that is putting me through college,” Woods said. “I plan on being a Croft Am-bassador, and trying to listen to all of the speakers that Croft invites.”Jake McGee is from Lake,

and graduated from East Rankin Academy. He is studying Russian. “I was not selected as one

The Ole Miss Rebels are now one step closer to a mascot. The top five from the previous poll have now been narrowed down again with three remaining. They are the Rebel Land Shark, the Rebel Black Bear, and Hotty Toddy. The Mascot Selection

Committee reviewed the top five mascot im-ages and eliminated the Rebel Lion and the Rebel Stallion. The committee said that they liked the play on words with “Rebellion” but felt that it lacked a strong Mississippi tie. Simi-larly, the Rebel Stallion raised excitement with the prospect of having a live horse to lead the Rebels, but the logisti-cal problem of having a live horse in the crowed Grove and the fact that it could not enter into most indoor sporting events led the commit-tee to eliminate this idea also. The alternative to

a live horse, a costumed horse, did not have strong support among the Ole Miss community. Based on the earlier poll, the Rebel Lion and the Rebel Stallion were the least popular of the five, so the committee was comfortable in eliminat-ing these options. The next poll will begin on Wednesday, October 6, at 8:00 a.m. and will end at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 12th. In this poll there will be two full color images of each of the three mascots: one of the mascot in foot-ball attire and one of the mascot in Grove attire. Ty New, co-chair of the Mascot Selection Com-mittee said that designs of these mascots could possibly alter in cos-tume, but facial expres-sion and overall shape of the mascot image will not. Margaret Ann Mor-gan, co-chair of the Mas-cot Selection Committee said, “I think that people will be very excited when they see these images.”

This committee stresses that it has worked very hard to make sure that the designs presented are respectful to the Ole Miss culture. In par-ticular, the committee has put a great amount thought into the mascot concept of Hotty Toddy. Originally intended to be two characters, the committee has now com-bined this mascot into one person. The intent is for Hotty Toddy to be a “superfan” according to Morgan. In the very early stages of

the selection process, focus groups made up of members of the Ole Miss community identified characteristics that were vital to the Ole Miss mascot. Ole Miss Selection Committee stated in its press release that the new mascot should “unify the Ole Miss community, have a Missis-sippi connection, be unique, adapt from the Grove to the game, fit the Ole Miss cul-ture, project a proud image, be timeless and not trendy

With a vote on the issue of selling alcohol at a city building approaching, Ce-dar Oaks’ neighbors met with city officials Wednes-day night to discus their concerns over the prop-erty’s future.When the Centennial

Club could not continue the upkeep of the prop-erty, the city stepped in. Oxford-Lafayette Historic Homes Vice President Jan-is Miller said Cedar Oaks could and did serve alcohol for the past 50 years, but now that it is city owned an ordinance must be ad-opted to add an exception, as has been done at the Powerhouse and confer-ence center.The residents wanted to

prevent problems such as parking and public intoxi-cation.“I have left my house be-

fore an event started and came back and couldn’t get to my house,” Murray Street resident Clay Cau-then said. “Over memorial day weekend, someone in-toxicated passed out in my neighbors yard, and even-tually came up and asked me if they could use my phone.”Ward 1 Alderman Ney

Williams said events at Ce-dar Oaks would be more regulated under city con-trol.“We are going to have

staff people at every event,”

Williams said. “I have talk-ed to (Police) Chief (Mark) Martin, and all we have to do is tell him we are having an event, and the police will patrol the area.”Besides providing a shut-

tle, Williams also talked to Martin about only allow-ing parking to take place on the Cedar Oaks side of the street.“If we put out the ap-

propriate signage, violators on the other side will be towed,” Williams said.Director of Sales Hayden

Hiter said there are regula-tions the city must follow with events, including no amplified music, a fire code that only allows 49 people and they would have to hire someone licensed to serve alcohol.Cauthen felt like allow-

ing the issue to go forward would be similar to open-ing Pandora’s Box.“I have no problem with

the group here right now, but is Nay going to be my alderman next year? Things can change,” Cau-then said. “Once it is open, what if someone who does not have your conscience come along?”Webb Street resident

Jack Howard felt like there needed to be limits in writ-ing.“Parking is not the only

problem, I have concern about the safety of children in the street,” Howard said. “Nobody every had a prob-

With this year having the highest fresh-man enrollment in Ole Miss history, changes affecting students are easily no-ticeable throughout campus.Being as there are over 3,000 new fresh-

men this semester, a few positives and neg-atives have arisen from it. Obvious changes, for example, are the

lack of parking spaces for dorm patrons as well as limited spaces on campus for those that choose to commute.According to Cody Lemons, senior jour-

nalism major, “Parking on campus is ter-rible. It’s a problem that really needs to be dealt with for struggling commuters like myself.”I am an out-of-state freshman from Loui-

siana. I came from a small town and an even smaller high school.Despite the fact that most of my family

went to LSU, I decided to be a Rebel (pun intended) and come to Ole Miss simply to experience something new and different. Ole Miss appealed to me because of its small town feel and the southern hospital-ity that Mississippi is apparently notorious for.

The small, quaint campus that I had come to expect was not quite accurate. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed. Among the problems that I noticed since

the start of the semester, one issue involves the large number of students in freshman classes.“You don’t get as much individual at-

tention from teachers like I did in high school,” Kathryn Christian, freshman graphic design major. “The one-on-one teacher-student relationship was very im-portant to me.”Because of the large numbers of students

in classes, the distractions come easily. Distractions such as texting, music and people on Facebook make focusing and taking notes a difficult task.I understand that being a freshman will

not mean that I should expect to only have 30 students or so students in my class like I did in high school. Still, I was not at all expecting around 400 either. Lemons, who works at the Malco Oxford

Studio Cinema, said, “We have seen an in-crease in movie ticket sales, and a lot new faces coming to the movies.”

With an increase in students on campus, there is an increase in sales. In restaurants, clothing stores, clubs, movies and the cam-pus bookstore.Especially with Fall Family Weekend,

there probably is an even higher increase for businesses. In a country who is still going through a recession, the increase in students, however, benefits Oxfords econ-omy. It comes down to two situations having

fewer students that will allow us to have smaller classes or having many more stu-dents allowing the Oxford economy to grow. Without a certain number of stu-dents, Ole Miss will not be able to keep their doors open, and Oxford will be-come an even smaller town, which no one wants.With too many students, Oxford could

possibly become an even bigger city, and classes will become huge, which would lead to too many disadvantages. With next year’s freshmen class, will there be another record breaking class size or will they cut back on enrollment for a better campus experience?

The Study of Nails by Chris Le & Steve Le

9:30 am - 7:00 pmMonday - Saturday

This past Saturday night, I ventured into The Lyric an hour before closing to check out Lucero. However, the band was hardly what kept me enter-tained until last call.My brother and I happened to

meet Romaro Miller at the bar and I proceeded to be a human soundboard from then on. The former Rebel QB and I agreed wholeheartedly that the defense would have performed better in the fourth quarters of all our home games had the fans (specifically students) stayed around to even watch the end of the football game.It was clear that there was no

debate between us that the de-fense feeds off the home crowd and that our fans aren’t known for consistent fourth quarter support. What the two of us didn’t discuss was why Ole Miss fans are among the few groups of fans in a powerhouse confer-ence to exhibit this behavior. I think it is solely a product of the Ole Miss game day environ-ment. The Grove is a unique part

of our campus, but what we don’t realize is that it is not just unique, it is regarded as one of the best football game day ex-periences in the country. Even ESPN analysts, who have never been to Oxford, often mention how much they look forward, above all others, to visiting the Grove on game day. This is great, but not when it competes with the game day experience within the stadium.Even during a good year, the

Grove can pull even the most dedicated fans out of Vaught-Hemingway late in the game. This is solely due to the relative difference in incentives to stay in the stadium versus heading back to the Grove.Of course, I would like our

fans to find enough incentive to stay exclusively out of support for the team, but give any other college a tailgate equivalent to the Grove and they’d have the same problem. What we need is an added dose of fourth quarter incentives to keep the fan base in the stadium long enough to change the culture. So after pondering what would

make me choose the fourth quarter over the Grove, I came up with a few ideas.A fly-over during the transition

between the third and fourth quarters would be awesome and probably pump the team up. As far as I can remember, the team doesn’t even get to see it at the beginning of the game.What if the administration

were to agree to give “From Dixie With Love” one more chance, but only in the fourth quarter? I’d easily forego the Grove for another hour to take

part in that.Let’s get a second surprise ce-

lebrity to lead Hotty Toddy and specifically as a rally cry towards the end of the game. That seems simple enough, right?All of the previous and equiva-

lent ideas need to be well pro-moted the previous week so that they build the proper anticipa-tion needed to keep fans from desiring the Grove’s amenities.And can someone please con-

vince Patrick Willis to throw-up the Landshark pose the next time he gets a sack in an NFL game? The words to adequate-ly describe how awesome that would look on our video board aren’t allowed in this column.How about we reduce conces-

sion prices in half starting in the fourth quarter? That might combat the free food waiting in the Grove. I’d also like to see Pete Boone and Dan Jones greet fleeing fans at the main exits during halftime. They bet-ter be wearing the designated game day color too!If we are going to promote a

game day uniform, let’s really promote it using Grove tradi-tions. Have the cheerleaders give free color appropriate T-shirts to the best-dressed fans not wearing the official game day color. That sends the mes-sage that you either come dressed nicely or wear the right color. Otherwise, you’re just a loser, period. With student ticket prices being as high as they are I’m sure we can afford them.These are just a few ideas I

came up with over the last ten minutes while writing this paragraph. The usual excuses aren’t good enough. The School Beneath Us is a prime example that when money is an issue, it can be raised. When rules are the problem, they can be changed. I don’t want the players to as-

sume I think they are not en-tertaining or not deserving of our support already. I do want them to realize from a fan’s per-spective, the situation is more complicated than just support-ing the team. By allowing the tailgate experience to become more enjoyable than the late game time experience, our ath-letic program is facilitating the encouragement of fans to leave before the game is over. It’s time our fans and our athletic program accept the responsi-bility together and make some changes.

The Grove vs. the 4th QuarterBY NOLAN MCINTYREThe Daily Mississippian

For my love of Ole Miss I began my search for a potential new mascot three years ago. It was fraught with constant anxiety, ap-prehension and disappointment. The problem I had was pleasing Col. Reb loyalists and modern-day revolutionaries. In September of 2009 while trimming a bush, my dog picked up a branch in its mouth, the blossom was still at-tached. Eureka! I found the idea I’d been looking for. I put pen to action and created possibly a new mascot. It is for this reason, I felt com-

pelled not to submit my ideas to the Mascot Selection Commit-tee. I did not want to waste the

last three years of my life having my submissions pilfered and no credit given.For graphic enhancement and

animation I used Carlee Vee of Carlee Vee Creations in Chicago. My wife Katherine added the eye-lashes for a softer look. So, with hopefulness and prom-

ise may I present, Miss Magno-lia, potentially the next Ole Miss mascot. “Miss Maggie” is her nickname and she is an American Pit Bull Terrier. Her love for the State is shown by the indigenous magnolia flowering branch held gingerly. The Magnolia State is represent-

ed as this branch. It represents the

flower, the tree and the first public university for higher learning—Ole Miss. Miss Maggie proudly displays her award for the world to see with acclaimed demeanor and nobility. I chose a dog to carry this branch

of honor because of our numer-ous students, alumni, faculty, staff and employees who love dogs. It is my hope if Miss Maggie is cho-sen as our new mascot a percent-age of profits from her merchan-dise sold go to animal shelters in the state of Mississippi.

Letter to the Editor

I have always been a closet nerd. Well, now I’m coming out. I’d like to blame my elemen-

tary school teachers who en-couraged me to read J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling at such a young age. By the time I was ten, I was already best friends with Harry Potter and completely sure that I would one day become an elven queen. My younger sister was (and

still is) obsessed with “Star Wars,” so hours of George Lu-cas marathons only made my “nerdiness” grow.I was introduced to Douglas

Adams in middle school, and I soon learned that my sci-fi education was far from over. “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” became my guide to life.As I got older, I realized that

it was not always appropriate to talk about Hogwarts like it was real place or to constantly shout 42 as an answer to any question posed.I began to become ashamed of

my passion for science fiction and fantasy and only shared my love of hobbits with a few close friends. Eventually, I retreated to my

bedroom with torn-up copies of my favorite magical novels and only showed my weakness for Marvin, the paranoid an-droid on my bookshelf. It only takes a few seconds for

me to escape into my favorite fantasy world, either through movie or book. Make-believe can be so much more exciting than real life.Now, you are probably won-

dering why I am sharing this secret love with the entire campus all of a sudden.The answer is simple - “Doc-

tor Who.”This summer I was intro-

duced to a new love and obses-sion. The British sci-fi series “Doctor Who” became my new addiction. After two season of the doctor’s crazy adventures, I was told about “Torchwood.” This is when I went insane.

Last week I did nothing but watch the first season of “Torchwood,” a spin-off se-ries of “Doctor Who.” Sure, I might have tried to get some homework in at some point or another, but my attention was purely on Captain Jack Hark-ness, Ianto, Owen and Gwen. I spent Thursday evening at

Mia Camurati’s house watch-ing the first season finale and having my mind completely blown. Mia is also known as the opinion editor of the DM and the instigator of all of this nonsense.Now that I’m on the third

season of “Doctor Who” (“Doctor Who” and “Torch-

wood” seasons alternate and interlace), and “Fringe” (the amazing sci-fi show on Fox) has started its third season, I’m just not sure I have time for school anymore.So much is going on in my

nerd kingdom, I just could not keep it all to myself anymore. To make it even better, the

first part of the seventh Harry Potter movie comes out this November. As excited as I am about it, to me, nothing com-pares to the books. So, in all manners of nerd-

dom I feel the need to reread J.K. Rowling’s masterpieces. It does not matter that I have read “Order of the Phoenix” 22 times (don’t judge, it is my favorite book in the series). Okay, so maybe I just came

out of the closet a little too strong. Maybe after reading the first

part of this column you would have no idea that I am also the same girl obsessed with “Gos-sip Girl,” Diet Coke, Broad-way musicals and “Scrubs.”Maybe you would never guess

that my dream job is to write for GQ or Esquire.Maybe you should not judge

people by one aspect of their personality.Or maybe, I am just writing a

column as fast as I can so I can get back to the next episode of “Doctor Who.”Actually, all of those are right,

and let me just say, David Ten-nant would make the cover of my GQ any day.

At least I don’t play WOW

LADIES’ NIGHTREBEL RADIO —92.1 fm —

The whole world may soon see what Oxonians see every day. The movie “Where I Begin” was filmed in Oxford this sum-mer. Melanie Addington, the screenwriter and producer, and Thomas Phillips, the director, spoke yesterday at Barnard Ob-

servatory about the film. Addington and Phillips spoke about the influence of

the South on the writing and making of the film. Addington is very familiar with Oxford. She is a staff writer for the Oxford Eagle and co-director of the Oxford Film Festival. It was Addington’s experi-ences here that lead to the film’s choice of Oxford as the filming

location.“Most of my writing in the script was based more on Ox-ford and Mississippi in terms of how gossip travels, how south-erners love to tell stories and even certain characters are based more on people I know from here,” she said. “So really it made sense for the film to begin here.”Simone Roberts, a junior

political science major, said she is interested in seeing the movie because it was filmed in Oxford. “I probably wouldn’t have much interest in it if it’d been filmed somewhere else,” she said. “I think it’ll be cool to see the places I go all the time in a movie.”Making a film is no easy task. However, Addington said the Oxford community has been very supportive and open to the idea of independent film. She credits this openness to the work of the Oxford Film Festival and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council.Addington said even though the community has been so open to the project, she does not know how they will react to the final product. “Once a film is on the screen, it is no longer yours really,” she said. “It becomes the audience’s experience, and you can only just hope that they see some-

thing in it that they like.”Addington said she hopes the film’s audience will come with their own understanding of the South, of family, and of trauma in order to interpret the story through their own lens of per-sonal experience. A large part of the movie is about how people deal with the perception of those who are ac-cused of a crime. “I think the film is hopefully relevant to anyone who has ever made wrong choices or been ac-cused of doing something they didn’t do,” she said. “Facing up to your past when you have tried to run from it is something many people can relate to.”Addington and Phillips spoke as part of the Brown Bag Lunch and Lecture Series hosted by the Center for the Study of South-ern Culture.

The Ford Center will soon play host to the Berlin Philhar-monic Wind Quintet.The quintet will kick off the

2010-2011 season at the Ger-trude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts on Oct. 6.Norm Easterbrook, Ford Cen-

ter director, said the quintet is a fun and classy way to start this year’s Artist Series.“The Berlin Philharmonic

Wind Quintet is a very well-es-tablished quintet,” Easterbrook

said. “The quintet is adored by many for their skill and sensi-tive interpretation of wind en-semble compositions.”The quintet was founded in

1988. It is made up of five members, who play flute, oboe, clarinet, horn or bassoon, re-spectively.They will play selections from

their broad repertoire, which includes the entire spectrum of wind quintet literature.Ole Miss is among only three

schools in the SEC to host the Berlin Philharmonic Wind

Quintet this touring season. Vanderbilt and Louisiana State University will also host the Quintet. Oxford is among the quintet’s last stops before re-turning home to Germany.This will be the quintet’s first

performance at Ole Miss.The Artist Series has a long

history at Ole Miss. Accord-ing to Kate Meacham, assistant director of marketing for the Ford Center, the series dates back to the 1920s.“It’s been on campus long

before the Ford Center was built,” Meacham said. “It’s re-ally about showcasing more of the classical performing arts. It’s a great benefit to students as well as to the larger Oxford

community.”“The series is a University of

Mississippi tradition with a well-established track record of quality presentations,” Easter-brook said.The quintet’s performance on

campus has created much ex-citement amid classical music lovers. Ryan Ezelle, a sophomore

from Union, Miss., said he is very excited about having the chance to attend the perfor-mance.“I was really surprised that

such a well known quintet is coming to Ole Miss,” Ezelle said. “I’m really excited the university is able to offer such great performers.”

Meacham said this is an excel-lent chance to see performers at the top of the profession. “The Berlin Philharmonic

Wind Quintet is one of the top wind quintets in the world,” she added.Tickets are available at the

UM Box Office in the Student Union or at the Ford Center Box office. You may also visit the Ford Center’s website to purchase tickets. Tickets cost between $20 and $28.Cultural passport participants

will receive a ticket discount. These tickets will only cost $10.For a complete list of Ford

According to Oxford Community Bank President Randy Leister, the problem is that the composite slate shingle is too heavy, causing the roof tiles to break and the chimneys to lean.“We determined that we really needed

to relieve some of the stress,” Leister said.The bank noticed the problem during

their annual check of the facility, Leis-ter said. “They used a full brick as opposed

to some lighter brick.” Alderman for Ward VI Brad Mayo said. “The chim-neys lean because there is no support structure for them.”BancorpSouth had to clear the repairs

with the Historic Preservation Com-mittee, Leister said.Leister says the repairs will occur on

Sundays to ensure that debris from construction workers removing the old roof will not fall onto cars in the bank’s drive through.“Because of this roof and the way it

sits and for the safety of our customers, we had to do this on Sunday.” Leister said.The bank requested three Sundays to

complete the repairs but Leister said their architect is confident the job will be done in two.According to Leister, BancorpSouth

decided to start the construction on Oct. 10 because Ole Miss will not have a home football game that weekend. Any construction would begin when the bank closes on the Saturday after-noon Oct. 9. A crane will be parked behind the

building during the construction where fans attending the football game usually park, but will be moved during the week.The roof tiles will be replaced with a

lighter weight brick that Leister calls “tile brick.”“From the distance you cannot tell it is

not a full brick,” Leister said. “But there will be a lot less weight up there.”

and have the ability to be active and appeal to children.” The Mas-cot Selection Committee feels that

the three remaining mascots, The Rebel Land Shark, the Rebel Black Bear, and Hotty Toddy reflect these values, and they are very excited to release these much thought-over images of the three.

lem when it was the ladies club in control, because it was always done in moderation. But what we are do-ing now, is introducing a commer-cial activity in my neighborhood.“I would like to see limits written

into the alderman vote.”Howard said he wanted to see a

limitation on events per year, and if a certain number of people attend, the city has to provide a shuttle to help with parking and he wanted policemen to patrol during events.Cauthen agreed, but also thought

speed bumps would be a good idea.“If alcohol is served, you have to

have a police officer or someone watching,” Howard said. “If you

have a few shots of alcohol and go down Murray, it could be a tragedy. That is where the majority of the kids are, down the hill.”Hollis Green, director of Oxford

Conference Center and Cedar Oaks, said regardless of whether the aldermen vote yes or no on the issue, he’d like to have the neighborhood behind Cedar Oaks.“Bottom line, if it doesn’t go the

way you want, I still want to know what you want to do to make it hap-pen,” Green said. “We still want to work with you. We will do all the things that are feasible.”Miller said she also wanted it to be

part of the neighborhood.“If you wanted to have a picnic on

the grounds, I’d love for you to be able to use it,” Miller said. “I want it to be part of your community.”

This Friday, Luckyday schol-ars, alumni and leaders will come together in a ceremony to celebrate the addition of the new Luckyday Residential College that opened this fall. The ceremony will be held

at 2:00 p.m. in the Luckyday Residential College courtyard, and everyone is invited to at-tend. Ethel Young-Minor, senior

fellow of the Luckyday Resi-dential College, said that the program will be an exciting time that will bring together the leadership of the Lucky-day Foundation and the lead-ership of the University of Mississippi. At the ceremony, Chancel-

lor Dan Jones will present the dedication along with Bettye Neely, president of the board of trustees for the State Insti-tutions of Higher Learning, and Holmes Adams, chairman of the board of managers for the Luckyday Foundation.Golda Sharpe, 2009 Luc-

kyday graduate and Zachary Huffman, sophomore Luc-kyday scholar, will also speak. Music will be provided at the ceremony by the UM String Trio under the direction of Susan Gaston. A statue in honor of the

foundation’s benefactor, Frank Rogers Day, was recently com-pleted and now stands at the entrance to the residential college. An inscription on the statue’s base reads, “What is

life if you can’t give something back?- Frank Rogers Day.” Patrick Perry, director of the

Luckyday programs, said that this statue was completed in time for the recognition cere-mony as a way to honor Frank Rogers Day and his contribu-tion to the university. The Luckyday program be-

gan at the University of Mis-sissippi in the fall of 2001, but this is the first year Luckyday scholars have had the privilege of living in the residential col-lege. The building is home to 329 students, all of whom are Luckyday scholars or associ-ates. Residence hall director Bran-

don Spencer says that he is proud of the students he over-sees, and that he wants to con-tinue to uphold the residential college’s image of a place of strong community. As the first ever Luckyday

resident hall director, Spencer says that he makes it his job to see that Luckday students be involved around campus as well as in the Luckyday pro-gram. “This place has a strong sense of community, and my aim is to keep it that way,” Spencer said. In its ninth year at the uni-

versity, and with the opening of its residential college this year, the Luckyday program has made a significant impact at Ole Miss. This ceremony on Oct. 1 will

be dedicated to celebrating its success and future here at Ole Miss.

of the original scholars but was made one because someone de-clined the offer,” McGee said. “I am so thankful for this scholarship. With it I do not have to pay for col-lege.”Grace Anne Boyd is from Cordo-

va, Tenn., and is studying Spanish. Walker Messer is from Lucedale and is also studying Spanish. Wil-liam Bumpas is from Dyersville, Tenn. Brad Gordon is from Pasca-goula, Miss., and is studying French and Russian. Sam Kapoor is from Ridgeland and is studying Japanese. George Rochelle is from Norco, La., and is studying German. Su-sanna Rychlak is from Oxford and is studying Italian. The Croft Institute is a privately-

funded, selective admissions pro-gram designed for students who ex-cel in academics and wish to pursue an international studies major. “It combines the qualities of a

small college and a major. It is centered on academic excellence in college and careers in the interna-tional arena afterward,” the execu-tive director of the Croft Institute Kees Gispen said. “It is a program designed to keep our state, and the country as a whole, internationally competitive in the age of globaliza-tion and of powers rising in other

parts of the world.” “Examples of what the Institute

does for its students include fre-quent, individual advising sessions by the Croft staff, small classes, and one-on-one teaching situations with Croft professors in the two senior thesis courses. Croft also assists and guides students with their required study abroad programs, and works as hard as it can to educate global citizens who are as competitive as they can-- and must --be in the 21st century.”Topics in the international stud-

ies major can include politics, eco-nomics, international relations, and culture. The students are also al-lowed to specialize in areas that are specific to certain countries such as drug problems in Latin America and inequality in global politics. “The Croft curriculum demands

that its students not only take chal-lenging courses, but also that they do well in these courses. We have to maintain at least a C average in all classes that will count toward the major,” Patrick Fields said. The Croft program requires inten-

sive foreign language studies, and the students must also study abroad for at least one semester.“We will start offering a regional

concentration in the Middle East

that dovetails with the fine Arabic Language Program in the Depart-ment of Modern Languages. We work closely with other academic programs on campus, such as the Center for Intelligence and Secu-rity Studies, the School of Accoun-tancy, the Public Policy Leadership major, and the Honors College,” Gispen said. “This cooperation is designed to

give our students the best and wid-est range of opportunities to shape their future careers and explore their academic and professional in-terests.”The website for the Croft Insti-

tute, croft.olemiss.edu, says that the Bachelor’s degree in International Studies can lead to careers in law, international business, journalism, education and research, or em-ployment in government agencies specializing in intelligence and di-plomacy.The institution was founded in

1997 and is supported by the Jo-seph C. Bancroft Charitable and Educational Fund. Most Croft scholars are also a part of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors Col-lege where the international studies major is the most popular.

PREVIEW: THE MOST PROMISING FALL ALBUM RELEASESBY JOSH BREEDENThe Daily Mississippian

The Avett Brothers possess all of the essential qualities of a legendary roots/country act -- hon-est, eloquent lyrics, raw instrumentation, and the ability to grow unprecedented facial hair. It is too bad that it took nine years and a ma-

jor label debut, 2009’s “I and Love and You,” to propel these North Carolinians to their rightful place within today’s musical hierarchy.In order to keep their now considerable audi-

ence placated while working out the followup to their Columbia sponsored hit, The Avett Brothers will be releasing “Live Volume 3” next Tuesday. Recorded August 8, 2009 at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte. “Live Volume 3” will include both a CD and

DVD covering, what was at the time, the band’s largest live show ever.For a few words from Scott Avett about the

emotional recording and a video of his impec-cable performance of “Murder in the City” at Bojangles Coliseum head on over to Spin’s web-site. Do it for Scott and his beard.

The Avett Brothers, “Live, Volume 3,” October 5

Belle and Sebastian, “Write About Love,” October 12

Glasgow native Stuart Murdock is essentially the forefather of the modern “indie” movement. Before Zooey Deschanel was trolling Newport Folk Festi-val in suspiciously vintage dresses, before the Fleet Foxes were summoning random wildlife with wispy harmonies, Belle and Sebastian were constructing the template through which these and all other preceding melancholic pop acts derive their sound.“Write About Love,” the band’s first album in four

years, was completed in its entirety at L.A. record-ing hub, Sound Factory Studio B. Produced by Tony Hoffer, most of the new record’s material was written by Murdock and fellow bandmate Mick Cooke, with violinist Sarah Martin and guitarist Stevie Jackson also making lyrical contributions. English actress Carey Mulligan and recently converted soul songstress No-rah Jones both make appearances.The title track, featuring Mulligan, stays within Belle

and Sebastian’s usual territory with touches of funky guitar and punchy drums that give the song a soulful kick. Mulligan’s voice is surprisingly well controlled and melds perfectly with Murdock’s Scottish coo.

Kanye West, [Title TBD], November 16

Having survived the year without being murdered by Taylor Swift fanatics, Kanye West should have a fresh outlook on life and a refined public persona. However, if West’s appearance at the BET Awards (performing atop a volcano, wearing the largest Jesus piece known to man) is indicative of anything, it is that his ego is as inflated as ever.After 2008’s “808s and Heartbreaks,” West had an

interesting decision to make: keep traveling down the experimental, pop-infused track begun by “808s & Heartbreaks,” or revert to “Graduation”-era tactics. In an August 6 Ustream chat, West offered insight into the new record’s musical point of view in the context of re-cent single, “Power.”“I thought is was reminiscent of ‘Jesus Walks‘ and

‘Amazing’” said West of “Power.” “But I realized I had to embrace the work I did in the past. It’s progression.”The artist’s ongoing project, a collection of high-pro-

file collaborations entitled “G.O.O.D. Fridays,” points to this trend as he indulges in his hip-hop roots and his love for poppy melody and lyrical song structures. In an interview with GQ, Drake, calls the MC’s mysterious November release “one of the best hip-hop albums of the last 10 years.”

According to the global authority on everything, National Geographic, at exactly 11:03 p.m. last Wednesday, dads across the northern hemisphere took up their rakes in prep-aration for the annual lawn care apocalypse known as fall.

Cardigans, various desserts containing pumpkin, creepy and overage trick-or-treaters are all signs that autumn is upon us, and the oppressive heat of summer has finally ended – sort of.If you’re selfish like me, you don’t waste your money on

car-loads of migrant candy-hoarders (I’m anti-children), but on personally gratifying pieces of unneeded merchan-

dise, like multiple magic sets or new albums. While I am not a magic expert, I am well experienced when it comes to overspending at record stores or on iTunes. So, here are a few fall releases worth far more than a bag of fun-size Snick-ers or, if you are a square, entirely un-fun popcorn balls. An objective analysis? Maybe not, but I like Sprite and

Kanye West, so I hope it all works out.

THE WEEKLY TOP TENreasons to go outside right this second

Are You Kidding Me?:1Look out your window right now. If there is no window around, punch a hole in the nearest wall (the DM is not respon-

sible for any wall-related injuries or property damage). Smell that air, feel that breeze. That, my friends, is fall coming to town. Get out there this instant.

Punch Nature in the Face:2Don’t just frolic outside right now, folks. Go out and show the wild who is boss! Make that loser pay for the horrible

summer it put us through, then make it pay again for teasing us earlier this month with cool temperatures, only to throw us back into July-like weather.

After Punching, Apologize:3Let’s be honest here; if you really did take my advice and punch Nature in the mug, you’re much more stupid than

I thought. Why would you do something so idiotic? Don’t you know how powerful it is? And lately, it’s been pretty temperamental, in case you haven’t noticed. If I were you, I’d get indoors and hope Nature doesn’t think of a way to get in a building.

What are You Doing Indoors Again?:4Wow, I dedicate a whole week’s article to the joys of the current outdoor state, and you’re too afraid to face it. I know

you’ve probably been busy watching Tivo-ed reruns of Glee (spoiler alert: they sing and dance again), but there is a whole world to see. Let’s get out there and try this again.

It’s a Small World, After All:5Hey, where do you think you’re going? Don’t go farther than I can see you. Haven’t you been watching the news

(cause who reads it anymore)? There are enemies out there who hate you and everything about your Mickey Mouse McDonald’s existence. And they hate you, specifically. It’s probably best if you don’t go farther than the edge of your yard, just to be on the safe side.

Outdoor Song and Dance Numbers:6 Hey, you know what terrorists and freedom-fries like yourself have in common? You both love music! At least, I think

terrorists like music. Who can’t resist Lady Gaga’s last single? In any case, take a cue from that Glee show you love so much and start choreographing your own ode to Nature. Maybe then it won’t beat you up for earlier.

Keep it Short:7Alright, you got your jollies while dancing, that’s enough. No seriously, cut it out. It’s the last day of September, which

means tomorrow is the first day of October – the most evil month of the year! Witches, goblins, demons, you name it; the forces of badness sure love those fall colors. All those dances you just made are certainly of the heathen variety, especially if you took a page from Glee. I’m just saying, look out.

Be a Watch Dog for Me:8So, now that you’re out in the wilderness, dancing like a Commie pagan hippie, and attracting all sorts of evildoers

to you, do me a favor and give me a heads up should you see anything suspicious. Why am I not looking out for myself? Well, you’re already out there, and I’m not.

The Door’s Already Locked from the Inside:9Sorry, maybe I should have warned you before you went outside. Well, it’s too late now. Look, all this talk about ter-

rorists, devils, Glee and Lady Gaga has got me terrified of the outside world. Someone needs to let me know if bad guys show up. Or be bait.

Did I Just Say “Bait”?:10Slip of the tongue, my apologies. You’re a brave individual, my friend, and you are doing us all (well, me) a huge a favor.

Hey, it’s not too easy for me in here, either. You know what they always say: the grass is greener on the other side. Speaking of which, let me know if that grass over there is giving me an evil look.

The newest product to grace infomercial-laden TV air-waves is the Shake Weight.For those who haven’t been watching copious amounts

of late-night television, the Shake Weight is a 2.5 pound dumbbell with spring-loaded weights on each end. Rather than the traditional weight lifting form, it re-quires users to grip the weight with both hands while shaking it up and down.A press release said this unusual combination promises

to tone arms in just six minutes a day. It also claims the scientifically proven Dynamic Inertiatechnology revolu-tionizes the way people work out.Some companies call Shake Weight’s mechanics bogus,

but others have bought into the idea. Despite the skep-tics, over two million people have already bought the Shake Weight.“I felt stupid using it at first,” sophomore Paige Russell

said. “The more you do it though, you really start to feel it. I was so sore the next day.”Like countless other products, Shake Weight began its

path with direct response TV advertisements––the all-too-familiar infomercials.FitnessIQ, the company behind the Shake Weight,

wanted to go beyond the typical infomercial to ensure total domination of the home fitness field. In order to attract viewers and call attention to their product, they created their now infamously provocative advertise-ments that spotlight the very unusual technique their product requires. “This can’t be serious,” sophomore Shelby Ausband

said when she first saw the advertisement.Shake Weight’s unconventional ads certainly did help

propel it into stardom. The ad campaign received un-expected attention from the media and the demand for the Shake Weight skyrocketed.FitnessIQ now has the challenge of staying on top. The

recently launched Men’s Shake Weight also tries another way to reach customers and get them involved.It may seem a bit juvenile, but FitnessIQ has created a

contest for college students to compose a one of a kind Shake Weight jingle. It is no joke though: the winning jingle selected to be the new tune behind the Shake Weight brand will win $25,000.With fame and money on the line, the competition is

heating up.“Jingle Contest has produced unique and impressive

entries and garnered thousands of YouTube views,” Kel-lie Cagle, FitnissIQ Communications Director said in a press release.The most recent submissions have people of different

talents belting their heart out for Shake Weight. Some are a little more serious, others are downright hysterical but all of the 60-second videos have that original Shake Weight charm.“I’m not one to put effort on a dinky little rhyme, but

if it means I win a Shake Weight and the chance to get my arm flab off for free, I’ll jump on the bandwagon,” freshman Margaret Anderson said.Junior Austin Perry, on the other hand, is not as en-

thusiastic. He said the contest is “the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of.”Despite it all, the competition is getting a lot of press.

It appears that the Shake Weight brand is just heating up in the world of TV-advertised prodcuts. Americans spend $150 Billion spend on “As Seen on TV” products annually.

Under former coach Rich Brooks, Kentucky made it to a school-record four straight bowl games from 2006 to 2009. Ole Miss last played Kentucky in the

first year of that streak, falling 31-14 in Lexington. However, the Rebels hold the series advantage 26-13-1, includ-ing a 7-2 record in games played in Oxford.In the 2000 game against Jared

Lorenzen, Kentucky’s all-time career leader in passing, Ole Miss won 35-17 in Oxford. During this time, a recruit-ing scandal forced the resignation of then-coach Hal Mumme and landed the Wildcats on probation. After a 2-9 season as the school’s in-

terim coach in 2001, which included a 42-31 home loss to the Rebels, Guy Morriss was named the permanent coach for the 2002 season.It was the 2002 season that provided

the first of two program-defining games of the past decade for Kentucky, both of which came against LSU. Trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter against the defending SEC champions, Kentucky

rallied to take a 30-27 lead on a 29-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the game.However, on the final play of the

game, amidst a Gatorade bath of Mor-riss and fans prematurely storming the field, LSU quarterback Marcus Ran-dall threw the ball as far as he could from his own 18-yard line and found wide receiver Devery Henderson just short of Kentucky’s 15 yard line, who scampered into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.After the 2002 season, the Rich Brooks

era began at Kentucky. Brooks was ar-guably the program’s most successful coach since Paul “Bear” Bryant, who coached the Wildcats to the school’s only National Championship and one of the school’s two Southeastern Con-ference championships in 1950.Despite a 9-25 record in his first three

years in Lexington, Brooks led Ken-tucky to a 7-5 record in 2006, which included a 24-21 upset win over de-fending SEC champion Georgia and a 28-20 Music City Bowl victory against Clemson.Much like 2002, Kentucky came back

from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter to send the 2006 LSU game

into overtime tied 27-27. This time, the Wildcats knocked off nationally ranked No. 1 and eventual National Champion LSU 43-37 in triple-over-time behind quarterback Andre Wood-son and running back Derrick Locke.Later that year, Kentucky repeated

as Music City Bowl champions with a 35-28 win over Florida State. The Wildcats captured the Liberty Bowl the next year with a 25-19 defeat of Conference USA champion East Car-olina. Last year, Clemson avenged its 2006 loss with a 21-13 victory in the 2009 Music City Bowl to close out the Rich Brooks era.This year marks the beginning of the

Joker Phillips era at Kentucky, who hopes to extend the Wildcats’ bowl streak to five-straight years and looks to continue to improve the program’s competitiveness within the SEC and on the national stage.While Kentucky’s losing streak to

Florida was extended to 24 games after a 48-14 loss in Gainesville last week-end and the Wildcats’ losing streak to rival Tennessee currently sits at 25 games, there’s reason for optimism and increased expectations at Kentucky, not unlike here at Ole Miss.

KENTUCKY AT A GLANCEBY AUSTIN MILLERThe Daily Mississippian

1. Alabama (4-0 overall, 2-0 in SEC, 1rst last week): Another national cham-pionship looked as likely as Bear Bry-ant rising from the dead. The Crimson Tide, trailing throughout most of the afternoon at Arkansas, can thank an in-spired secondary (three picks of Ryan Mallett) and the unstoppable forces of Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson for the comeback victory.2. Auburn (4-0 overall, 2-0 in SEC,

4rth last week): Cam Newton proved why the quarterback position often times makes all the difference in col-lege football. The junior college transfer and dual-threat ace accounted for five touchdowns to lead a fourth-quarter comeback against South Carolina.3. Florida (4-0 overall, 2-0 in SEC,

5th last week): Tim Tebow wears Trey Burton pajamas. Burton, a Wild Cat specialist for the Gators this year, ac-counted for six touchdowns as Florida blew past Kentucky. Afterwards Burton applied styling gel to his hair, circum-cised a child from a third-world country and went on national television to reas-

sure the country that he’s still a virgin.4. Arkansas (3-1 overall, 1-0 in SEC,

3rd last week): It happens all too often. Lower-level Southeastern Conference team has best team in forever, plays against a conference stalwart and subse-quently has all of its hopes and dreams crushed. That team was Arkansas on Sat-urday as the Razorbacks let a 13-point advantage slip away to No. 1 Alabama. Thousands cried themselves to sleep in Fayetteville.5. South Carolina (3-1 overall, 1-1 in

SEC, 2nd last week): There’s crazy, and then there’s Steve Spurrier. While start-ing quarterback Stephen Garcia couldn’t stop fumbling, it might not have been the time to insert a true freshman signal caller into a road game with so much on the line. That’s what Spurrier did against Auburn, and the consequences were felt.6. LSU (4-0 overall, 2-0 in SEC, 6th

last week): Some things never change. Jordan Jefferson looked like garbage, Les Miles wore his ball cap and the Ti-gers made another deal with the devil to win a football game – this time against West Virginia. Jefferson’s stinker of a

night included completing less than 50 percent of his passes with two intercep-tions.7. Mississippi State (2-2 overall, 1-2

in SEC, 10th last week): The Bulldogs don’t look like world beaters, but things are looking up for Mississippi State. Dan Mullen’s team knocked off Geor-gia on Saturday, a feat that hadn’t hap-pened since 1974. Next up for Starkville residents: learning the joys of running water.8. Tennessee (2-2 overall, 0-1 in SEC,

9th last week): Derek Dooley might look really, really creepy, but he sure as hell knows how to win a double-over-time game against UAB. Matt Simm’s walk-off touchdown pass to Denarius Moore made sure there wouldn’t be an early stain on Dooley’s young career in Knoxville.9. Kentucky (3-1 overall, 0-1 in SEC,

7th last week): The Wildcats looks great for the past couple of weeks while over-matching lesser opponents. Then Ken-tucky played Florida – yep, that Florida, the team that seems to make most teams in the country their, well you know what. SparkNotes: Florida 48 Kentucky

14.10. Vanderbilt (1-2 overall, 1-1 in

SEC, 11th last week): While the rest of the SEC was playing football games this past weekend, the fine men on the Vandy football team had bigger fish to fry. Their plans? Mostly solving Rubik’s Cubes, playing Magic the Gathering and having a swap with the women’s chem-istry club. Or the Commodores just had a bye.11. Ole Miss (2-2 overall, 0-1 in SEC,

12th last week): It wasn’t pretty, but Ole Miss – a team defined this year by second-half collapses – thwarted a comeback by Fresno State and secured its second victory of the year. Running back Brandon Bolden rushed for over 200 yards and Jeremiah Masoli worked his offensive wizardry en route to a 55-point evening.12. Georgia (1-3 overall, 0-3 in SEC,

8th last week): Mark Richt is a nice guy. He really is. But nice guys often finish last, and there’s a high probability that Richt will be finding employment else-where after his Bulldogs dropped to 0-3 in the SEC after a loss to Mississippi State.

Paul’s Power Poll, Week 5

One mile north of campus, off of College Hill Drive, the Ole Miss men’s and women’s golf teams have been working hard and have started off their respective seasons on a strong note. In their first tournament, the Lady Rebels

finished second overall and also produced the overall tournament winner, Natalie Gleadall. Rebels’ coach Michele Drinkard called this result, “a pleasant surprise”. Following up that strong showing, the la-

dies went on to finish fourth in a tournament held at the University of Oklahoma. After the tournament, Drinkard’s team entered the NCAA national rankings at No. 25. On the men’s side, the Rebels finished No.

10 out of 12 teams in their first tournament of the year. Although the results may seem grim, every other team participating was ranked in the top thirty in the nation. After that, the team posted an impressive third-place finish

Last year, freshmen Mandy Mc-Calla and Erin Emerson led their club team, AFC Lightning, to a Georgia state title, a Southeast-ern Region championship and a U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships appearance. This year, McCalla and Emerson have already combined for three

goals and five assists to help Ole Miss to a 5-5-1 record.“They’ve both come in and

established themselves as very good players,” Ole Miss coach Matt Mott said. “They’ve played a lot of minutes for us. And the other good thing is that they’ve played together for so long on their club team, that they know each other very well and are comfortable playing with each

other.”They have started every game

for the Rebels and continue to make adjustments while also set-tling into their respective roles in the attack alongside senior Taylor Cunningham and junior Dylan Jordan, the Southeastern Conference’s co-leader in goals.“The toughest adjustment to

make as a freshman is at for-ward,” Mott said. “It’s a dif-ficult adjustment because the speed of the game is faster, the intensity is higher, and the play-ers are stronger. All of those things together make it difficult, but they’ve both come in and adjusted well to their roles on the team.”McCalla has played both for-

ward and midfielder this year, but regardless of the position, she continues to be a scoring threat with her strength around the goal and in the air. Emerson has become a pure striker for the team, creating space and scoring opportunities for herself and

others with her speed and crafti-ness.“I think (the improvement)

has been different for both,” Mott said. “Mandy (McCalla) has come in and established herself as a physical force. And Erin (Emerson) has come in and done a really good job at beating players with her skill and finding ways to get good looks at goal.”In the non-conference portion

of the schedule, McCalla and Emerson faced Santa Clara, a top-10 team, and played in ri-valry games with Memphis and Southern Miss, but this past weekend provided new and greater challenges with the start of conference play, particularly after the 2-0 loss to Alabama on Friday night.“It hit me last week after the

Alabama game,” McCalla said. “You realize that you just lost a big SEC game and everything falls hard on you because you’re also thinking about school. And then you’re thinking what’s more

important.”However, Ole Miss bounced

back with a 2-1 upset victory over nationally ranked No. 25 Auburn in Sunday afternoon’s nationally televised game on ESPNU.“When you lose a game like Al-

abama and you know you didn’t play your best, it just makes you want to come back harder and prove to yourself, your school, your fellow classmates and your teammates that you can do more,” McCalla said. “The win against Auburn was definitely an up-lifter for the team.” As Ole Miss continues confer-

ence play and turns its attention to making the SEC and NCAA Tournaments, McCalla looks to get more comfortable at playing forward, a position she was un-familiar with until this year, and Emerson looks to finish more of her scoring chances, so that they can match their club success from last year.

at the Vanderbilt tournament. The men have a vital weapon in Jonathan

Randolph, a returning First Team All-Amer-ican. He is currently participating in his first professional event, The Viking Classic, held in Madison. Both the men’s and women’s teams have

high hopes as the season gets underway. “Our goals don’t change,” Drinkard said.

“We prepare very hard at home, get better every practice, and go to tournaments and have fun. This is very beneficial.” Men’s coach Ernest Ross said about his

team: “We would like to make a run for the SEC title and I believe we have the team that can do that.”Both coaches see something special in their

teams and hope that the golf fan base can grow and blossom into something big. “We encourage the fan base to follow us

and keep up with our tournaments online at golfstat.com,” Drinkard said. “We have a good group of guys and I would

want the public to see a group passionate about the sport that works hard and repre-sents the University well,” Ross said.
