‘DeDication, commitment anD courage’yesterday, chancellor dan Jones addressed cadets of the ole miss Rotc program for their pass in Review ceremony, reminding others to be grateful for the freedom in this country.

Students getting ready for the upcoming presidential electiontuesday morning citizens of the United states will go to the polls and vote for who they want their leader to be for the next four years.

The 2012 presidential election is less than a week away, and the deciding fac-tor could once again be the youth vote.

Some students at Ole Miss are aware of each candidate’s positions and strengths, but they are still in the process of deciding for whom they will vote, based on different aspects of the candidates’ platforms.

Freshman theatre major Jasmine Hawkins, focusing on social issues, said she finds herself agreeing with President Obama’s open stance more than with that of Gov. Mitt Romney.

“(Obama) gives us more of an option to choose — such

as abortion,” she said. “It’s not an automatic, ‘You’re wrong.’ It’s more like you have (a) choice.”

Junior print journalism major Tanner Marquis, how-ever, said he thinks the most important issue right now is the state of the economy.

“Mitt Romney, I feel like, is going to be way better for the economy than Obama would be,” he said. “(The economy) doesn’t affect just government, it affects the individual.”

Senior exercise science major William Shaw agreed with Obama’s policies on energy.

“I do believe that we should focus on creating jobs using renewable en-ergy sources,” Shaw said. “I think that’s important as we

continue on to the future.”However, Shaw does not

support the president’s new health care law.

“I do believe everybody is entitled to have care,” he said. “But then again, I do believe that we all should take the initiative to work to earn our own health care, not basically (have it given) to us from the government.”

Associate professor of journalism Debora Wenger said she believes that media portrayal is a primary cause of the country’s division on issues.

“In terms of media por-trayals, people who favor one candidate or the other always think that their can-didate is being mistreated by the media,” she said. “I

The Army, Naval and Air Force cadets of the ROTC at The University of Mississippi held their annual Pass in Re-

view ceremony Thursday at the Lyceum. Ole Miss Chan-cellor Dan Jones led the cer-emony.

“This is some of the best of Ole Miss here,” Jones said.

“And this is really important

for us to recognize the dedica-tion, commitment and courage of these students and the deci-sions that they have made to protect our homeland and pro-tect our freedoms. And it’s also good to recognize the positive

influence they have on our campus.”

The ceremony began with an invocation followed by the national anthem. During Jones’ address to the cadets and audi-ence, he stressed how impor-tant members of ROTC are to the university.

“We are a stronger and bet-ter university because of their presence,” he said.

The Pass in Review began af-ter Jones’ address. The purpose of the ceremony was to dem-onstrate as a force that wherev-er troops are needed across the globe, they are ready. Senior cadet battalion commander Matthew Astorino elaborated.

“The chancellor’s review is an opportunity, in a nutshell, for the different branches of ROTC to show off in front of the university leadership,” he said. “It is our day where we ensure that our programs, es-pecially our instructors, are recognized for all of their hard work.”

Junior Naval ROTC mid-shipman operations officer Tyler Jackson said the officer development program does a great job of preparing cadets for commission.

“It gets us trained to start our careers,” he said.

Senior Army ROTC civil af-fairs officer Ryan Mitchell said it was an honor to have Chan-cellor Jones representing his unit by addressing the event.

“By him doing it, he’s giving approval of our unit,” he said.

Mitchell said ROTC is a ma-jor part of his life and joined to serve his country, but it turned into more than that.

“I want to be a leader in the most professional organization in the world,” he said.

Jones concluded with his gratitude toward the armed forces.

“I have a profound apprecia-tion for people who are willing to put themselves forward in the military to protect our free-dom.”

I love biased journalism

I love it for many reasons. I love it because it helps me ex-pand my knowledge of others’ opinions, I love it because it helps me understand the argu-ments for and against my own opinions, and I love it because it opens my mind to opinions different from my own and from those of my friends.

I am an avid reader of Rea-son magazine, an unabashedly libertarian magazine based out of D.C.

Personally, I learn far more from reading Reason articles than I do articles from CNN. Without the need to seem unbi-ased, Reason can publish anal-yses of news from a number of points of view, and that’s far more helpful than posting opin-ions posing as facts. Now, this is only really applicable when the publications in question are le-gitimate; if they’re talking about chemtrails and the government using the High Frequency Ac-

tive Auroral Research Program (HAARP) to orchestrate Hur-ricane Sandy, you’re probably getting a load of crock. Making the distinction between news and analysis of news is impor-tant if you’re looking to read things from a particular per-spective, obviously.

But you, the reader, likely hold some strong views of your own. Reading writers with whom you agree can help you strengthen your argument and consider policy alternatives that had never crossed your mind. Reading those with opposing opinions can help you find the weaknesses in your arguments and just possibly change your mind about things. I used to be a huge Republican; I had a “Thank You President Bush” bumper sticker on my first car (I’m not proud of it, but it’s true). But I talked to one of my friends who sent me some ar-ticles and studies that showed me what a colossal waste of resources the War on Drugs is, and I began my deep, dark de-

scent into libertarianism.Everyone is biased. Journal-

ists for prominent publications are often prohibited from ever giving a political opinion or supporting candidates publicly. Honestly, that’s completely the wrong way to go about it. I’d much rather know what some-one’s biases are so that when I read their pieces, I can see it through that filter. That kind of information is much more valuable out in the open than hidden behind layers of false detachment.

For instance, Keith Olber-mann was suspended after donating to three Democrats’ campaigns in the 2010 midterm elections. The MSNBC policy regarding political donations stipulated that employees had to clear their political donations with the network before send-ing them off. Now, Olbermann blatantly disregarded these re-quirements — there is no doubt of that. But the fact that em-ployees have to clear political donations with their employer

seems rather uncomfortable to me.

I’m not advocating for a law against this sort of policy, but if we were to lift our ridiculous expectation of anchors to be completely unbiased, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen. I mean it’s not like Olbermann was accused of being a shill for the GOP or anything before the donations, so how did that change anyone’s perception of him?

Unbiasedness is a worthy goal, don’t get me wrong. But it’s simply unattainable. No one can be free of bias, and try as hu-mans might, our backgrounds and predilections for or against things inevitably sneak into our opinions and thoughts. As well as pure facts would serve the public, journalists with defined and readily researchable biases come up very closely behind.

we are the same (respect diversity)

This past Sunday, Oct. 28, was the most important feast on the Muslim calendar, Eid al-Adha festival, the Feast of Sacrifice. By commemorating this event, Muslims are follow-ing the footsteps of prophet Ibrahim, who showed willing-ness to obey Allah (God) in everything, even if he was to slaughter his own beloved son.

What a great privilege it is to feed and help the needy and make them all equally happy and joyful on this day! The Ole Miss Muslim Students Association (MSA) hosted the festival and invited everyone in Oxford to eat, play games and enjoy each other’s pres-ence in the Grove Sunday af-ternoon.

I got the chance to join the Eid al-Adha festival in the Grove; this was my first time participating in a Muslim ac-tivity. They provided deli-cious food for everyone and an inflatable amusement park for kids. I really enjoyed it. I chatted with a lot of people, had fun with a lot of cute kids and ate delicious BBQ chicken legs, wings, hotdogs and tradi-tional Muslim desserts, such as basbousa.

However, something hap-pened two days before the event. The MSA students put up their posters on the bulletin board in the Student Union on Friday morning. Several hours later, they found one of their posters torn into pieces. This really hurt Muslim students’ hearts. The president of MSA collected the poster pieces. They made a lot of effort to host this event. They were looking for donations and had been preparing this event for a

long time. “We want people to know

that we are the same, we live the same life as you, we are the same human beings,” Adham Hagag, the president of MSA, said. “We don’t want to put religious things in it, we just want everybody to have fun together.”

If the whole world had only one race, one skin color, be-longed to one ethic group, spoke only one language shared the same culture, be-lieved in the same religion and lived in the same country … then would the world not have war? Would there no longer be any discrimination? Would there be no religious conflicts?

If that day really comes, that would be the end of the world, of human beings, of human society. How does human soci-ety move forward? Human so-ciety cannot develop without the diversity of its culture and ideas. No diversity, no conflict, no development. We are here

because we are different. We are different, so we have differ-ent ideas. Those different ideas push human society to move forward.

Copernicus doubted the temporal authority, Aristotle’s geocentrism theory, with his heliocentrism theory. He was the first modern European scientist to propose that Earth and the other planets revolve around the sun. The Coper-nican model was contrary to common sense of the time and contradicted the Bible. Thus, he was put to death by the king. From a modern point of view, although the helio-centrism theory was also not correct, it was a big step for human society, which is why Copernicus is regarded as the father of modern astronomy.

What makes the United States such a rapidly develop-ing country? The answer could be any number of things, but its diversity is an important part. The United States is a

multi-ethnic country — Lati-no, Asian, Muslim, Black etc. There are lots of immigrants with their own cultures, own beliefs and own languages that come from almost everywhere in the world. This makes the United States outstanding. Although there are conflicts among different cultures, they still seek common ground while reserving their differ-ences in order to live together. These conflicts push the so-ciety of the United States to move forward in all aspects.

Therefore, we should re-spect difference and diversity. Without diversity, any species would become extinct, would die out. The human species is not excluded.

We cannot live without di-versity.

mean, (it’s) pretty standard that if you’re a Romney fan, you feel like all the media are liberal and they support Obama and they’ll never give Romney a fair shake.”

Wenger said she believes that Hurricane Sandy will influence the outcome of

Tuesday’s election.“Hurricane Sandy and

the impact that it had re-cently on the Northeast is going to be a factor in this election,” she said. “Some pundits are basically saying the campaign for all intents and purposes ended last week before the storm hit, so wherever the candidates were at that point, that’s where they’re going to be

on Election Day.”However, not every stu-

dent will be voting for Rom-ney or Obama.

Sophomore broadcast journalism major Jenna Hecker said that she does not favor either Obama or Romney and will likely sup-port former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, the Lib-ertarian Party’s candidate.

“For Romney, if you look at his voting history, all he does is flip-flop and change his opinions and then says he’s maturing － it’s the most obnoxious thing about him,” Hecker said. “In terms of Barack Obama, my big-gest problem with him is he signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would allow the gov-ernment to indefinitely hold a citizen of the United States without a trial.”

Hecker said that she sup-ports Gov. Johnson because he is consistent in uphold-ing the Libertarian vision, an action she considers “extremely admirable in to-day’s politics.

Four downs: georgia Bulldogs vs. Ole Miss Rebels in this week’s edition of Four downs, the daily mississippian football beat writers bennett hipp and matt sigler, sports editor david collier and managing editor austin miller answer four questions regarding the week’s matchup.

1. Does Ole Miss con-tinue to slow down the pace of the offense, or does Hugh Freeze plan to put things in full gear and keep Georgia off balance?

Bennett Hipp (@ben-netthipp): It depends on how the game goes, but I could see it being similar to last week against Arkansas. Use the quicker tempo in key spots but also try to slow things down if Georgia has early offensive success.

Matt Sigler (@SigNew-ton_2): I think they will pick up the pace. However, if the Rebels fall behind ear-ly, I look for them to slow it down to give the defense a chance to catch their breath. From what I’ve seen, the of-fense has been much more successful in the high tempo, so I would think that Freeze will want to use it as much as possible.

David Collier (@Dav-idLCollier): Hugh Freeze said it all earlier in the week when he said Ole Miss doesn’t have the depth to run as fast as he would like all game long. So, I think you’ll see a lot of what you did last week with a wider variety of play calling to make the of-fense less predictable.

Austin Miller (@aus-tinkmiller): I don’t think Ole Miss increases the tem-po because of the risk of quick three-and-outs against a team as deep as Georgia. If it’s late in the half or game, or Ole Miss falls behind by

more than one score, I could see a necessary increase in tempo.

2. Who steps up for Ole Miss in the second-ary, where there are so many injuries?

Hipp: Dehendret Collins and Cliff Coleman will be relied on heavily with Pend-leton out and Senquez Gol-son not practicing at least through Wednesday. Mike Hilton, Trae Elston and Quintavius Burdette are all younger players who will be counted on even more in the secondary as well.

Sigler: I expect Charles Sawyer to have another big game. He has come along well at corner, and I think his best days are ahead of him. I wouldn’t be surprised to also see a big game from Trae Elston. The freshman now has a good bit of expe-rience under his belt, and I feel this could be the ideal time for him to step up.

Collier: I’m going to say Dehendret Collins. He’s a guy that has been pretty qui-et lately with the emergence of Mike Hilton at the huskie. This is another opportunity to make some plays against a talented quarterback in Aaron Murray of Georgia.

Miller: If it’s one guy, I think it’s Mike Hilton be-cause of his versatility to play huskie, as well as may-be some dime, nickel or even corner. He finds the ball on defense, and he has some added incentive play-ing against Georgia Satur-

day. 3. Will Ole Miss get

the running game go-ing again this week or will Bo Wallace have to put the offense on his shoulders?

Hipp: The Rebels are go-ing to have to find the run-ning game against Georgia. The Bulldogs are too good defensively to go in with an unbalanced offense. Things could get ugly for Ole Miss if they show up in Athens in a one-dimensional of-fense. Opening up the run-ning game is key to keep the Bulldog defense honest and to keep an aggressive unit from teeing off on Wallace.

Sigler: I believe Bo Wal-lace will put the team on his back. He has command of the offense, and I expect him to carry them most of the way. With the defensive front of Georgia and the play of Jarvis Jones, I’m skepti-cal of how well the running game will fare.

Collier: In my opinion, the running game has to get going again. Bo Wallace played well last week, and I do think the coaches need to put more trust in him. How-ever at the same time, he’s still a young, developing player, so if the offensive line can create some room for Jeff Scott, the Rebels will be more effective when they’re slowing down the pace.

Miller: It’s the running game. Ole Miss has to stay balanced. Also, I think the

offensive line will have more success run blocking than pass blocking. The Rebels had a lot more success on the ground than through the air against a similarly talent-ed defense in Alabama.

4. What is the key for Ole Miss to pull off the upset?

Hipp: This game a is a free shot — one where Ole Miss has nothing to lose. I expect the Rebels to do what they’ve done all sea-son, which is show up with a plan, play hard for 60 min-utes and see what the score-board says. Against a team like Georgia on the road, that’s the best way to go about the game.

Sigler: Win the turnover battle. Ole Miss will have to capitalize on nearly ev-ery possession to stay in this game. Ole Miss cannot af-ford to have to play from be-hind against a strong Geor-gia defense.

Collier: Stay within strik-ing distance. This isn’t a game that Ole Miss is sup-posed to win, so the Rebels just need to play hard and keep it close. If they do that, then who knows? Maybe they find themselves with a chance to win it at the end of the game.

Miller: Get the game to the fourth quarter. The lon-ger Ole Miss hangs around, the more pressure there is on Georgia. A trip to Atlanta is on the line for the Bulldogs, while this is a free shot for Hugh Freeze and the Rebels.

On the year, Wallace ranks sixth in the SEC in passing yards per game (233 ypg), Scott is fourth in the confer-ence in rushing yards per game (86 ypg) and three Reb-el receivers rank in the top 15 in the conference in recep-tions per game.

Freeze and his staff have installed their high-tempo offense this year, which has brought success on the of-fensive side of the ball for the Rebels, and he said it is tempting to run it more than he already is.

“It is very tempting,” he said. “These games are so long. When you’re playing teams like Georgia, who has those receivers and running backs, every time they touch it you hold your breath think-ing they could score. Cer-tainly, Georgia has the type of players and coaches that are going to make it unsuccessful at times. It’s a guessing game, and I’m not saying I have all of the answers.

“I’m not confident that we’re deep enough to go score 60 against Georgia to win a game. You kind of have to feel that way if you’re going to sell out and do that all of the time. You better be think-ing you’re going to score a lot of points to win a game like this against the players they have.”

Georgia will bring quite a few weapons to the game on Saturday, including junior quarterback Aaron Murray, freshman running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall and senior receiver Tavarres King. Murray ranks fourth in the SEC in passing yards per game (244 ypg) and third in passing efficiency (148.1) on the year.

Kickoff Saturday is set for 2:30 p.m. and will be tele-vised nationally by CBS.

Just one win away from gain-ing bowl eligibility, the Ole Miss Rebels (5-3, 2-2 South-eastern Conference) will travel to Athens, Ga., on Saturday to play “between the hedges” against the No. 6 team in the country, Georgia (7-1, 5-1 SEC).

Both the Rebels and Bull-dogs are coming off conference victories this past Saturday. The Rebels most recently de-feated Arkansas, while Georgia took down then second-ranked Florida.

“It’s an exciting one, and our kids and coaching staff will be excited to go play a fine Georgia program there in their home field on CBS,” Ole

Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said during a press conference Monday. “Growing up in the South, that was always a tra-dition. That 2:30 p.m. game is a special time slot for SEC football. To be playing in that Saturday against Coach (Mark) Richt’s team is quite exciting for us.

“It will be another step to kind of see how we’re matur-ing. It’s a tall task. They’re an excellent football team. I don’t see many weaknesses at all, if any. Coach Richt is a fine coach, and he’s one of the good guys in this business. You kind of find yourself pulling for them when you’re not playing them. We’ve got a great chal-lenge. Hopefully, we can get a few kids healthy and at full strength going over to Athens

on Saturday.”On defense, Georgia will be

led by junior linebacker Jar-vis Jones, who is coming off a 13-tackle game against Florida. Jones also leads the SEC in sacks with seven and is tied for 12th in the conference with 8.2 tackles per game.

“He’s a great player, give credit to him,” Ole Miss junior offensive tackle Pierce Burton said. “He is really fast. It looks like he has added some muscle from last year, and their de-fensive scheme really allows him to get loose, and I think the coaches are giving us a re-ally good game plan on how to deal with him.”

Georgia’s defense enters the game ranked sixth in the conference in scoring defense (22.5 ppg), seventh in total de-fense (362.2 ypg), seventh in rush defense (152.7 ypg) and ninth in pass defense (209.5 ypg). The Rebels hope to counter that with their own of-fensive weapons in sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace, junior

Junior running back Jeff Scott

Keep an eye on 29Ole Miss is going to have

its hands full Saturday after-noon defending No. 29 Jar-vis Jones, a junior linebacker. Jones, one of the top lineback-ers in the country, has been wreaking havoc on opposing offenses all season long. The Bulldogs move Jones around quite a bit and have enough playmakers around him to make teams pay for overcom-pensating against Jones.

With 49 tackles, 14 tack-les for loss, 8.5 sacks, nine quarterback hurries and five forced fumbles, the Rebels have to be extra aware of Jones on the field.

Rediscover the run-ning game

The Rebels struggled against Arkansas running the football but had success split-ting backs Jeff Scott and Ran-dall Mackey out wide in the slot. Expect the Rebels to do some more of that, but they’ll also have to figure out a way to get the running game back on track.

If the Rebels are unable to run the football, it’ll be a long day for the Ole Miss de-fense, as it’ll be stuck on the field constantly against Aaron Murray and Georgia’s two really good freshman run-

ning backs, Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall.

All hands on deck in the secondary

With no Wesley Pendle-ton and likely no Senquez Golson, the Rebels will be shorthanded at corner and in the secondary in general. De-hendret Collins has moved to corner from huskie and had a good week of practice there. Cliff Coleman will likely also see his snaps increase.

The Rebels will rely on younger players like Quin-tavius Burdette, Mike Hilton and Trae Elston to make plays in a shallow secondary. Ole Miss had some success dis-guising coverages against Ar-kansas quarterback Tyler Wil-son last week, and the Rebels will have to throw the kitchen sink at the Bulldogs’ Murray in order to give its secondary a chance to hang.

Free shotOle Miss has nothing to lose

here. Much like the Alabama game, a loss won’t hurt the Rebels. In this type of game, as a 14-point underdog, the Rebels can just show up, exe-cute the game plan, play hard and see how things end up at the end of 60 minutes.

On national television in the 2:30 p.m. CBS slot, it’s another showcase game for recruits to take a look at the Ole Miss program.
