What used to be a single day dedicated to food, music and art is taking another shot at extend-ing the festivities.

This year’s Double Decker Festival will, like last spring, be a two-day event.

“We got such positive feedback on the two-day format, so we de-cided to officially try it last year and felt it was successful enough to try again this year,” Mary-Kathryn Herrington, director of tourism and marketing, said.

This year marks the 175th

birthday of Oxford, which helped raise more sponsorship dollars, allowing more money to be spent on the festival.

Herrington said putting on a two-day event like Double Deck-er gives a good jolt to the econo-my in a small town like Oxford.

“We’re slammed for the whole weekend,” Megan Patton, part-time manager of Ajax Diner, said.

“It is definitely our biggest weekend of the whole year, even bigger than some football games. It’s crazy but in a good way.”

While Double Decker keeps several businesses in town and on

The Square slammed through-out the weekend, not all busi-nesses feel the extreme effects.

“Double Decker is better than an average weekend when noth-ing is happening,” Lyn Roberts, Square Books manager, said. “However, it is not much better than a football weekend, gradu-ation or Grove Bowl.”

Roberts has worked at Square Books for 22 years and has been the manager for about 10. Af-ter the festival became a two-day event, the overall revenue of Square Books did not really increase. Roberts credits this to the fact that not every person

that comes through their doors makes a purchase. So, while more people may be around, that doesn’t mean they are all spending money.

The extra sponsors have con-tributed to Oxford’s 175th an-niversary celebration, allotting more money for extra festivities.

The Double Decker Festival welcomes people from near and far, bringing locals, alumni and students into the small town for a few days.

“It brings in parents, friends and alumni who enjoy the week-end and are willing to spend money, so the businesses defi-

nitely benefit,” journalism junior Alexa Bode said. “Hotels and restaurants are always packed, as well as the stores. Double Decker definitely gives a boost to the economy of Oxford.”

Due to weather conditions in 2010, the Double Decker Festi-val in Oxford was forced to be-come a two-day event instead of one. Although a two-day festival is more expensive, Oxford re-ceived a very good response to the unexpected change.

Five law school alumni were in-ducted into the 2012 Law Alumni Hall of Fame during Law Alumni Weekend.

It was the third Law Alumni Hall of Fame induction. The Alumni Board makes the Alumni Hall of Fame selection and takes nominations throughout the year.

Dean of the Law School Rich-ard Gershon said the inductees are selected for their contributions to the law profession and society.

“They are lawyers who have not only been outstanding lawyers, but they have been outstanding

contributors to their communities and to the university,” Gershon said.

“They’re the kinds of people that we want our current students to look at and say, ‘Hey, they were here not long ago, and now look at all they’re doing with their law degrees.’”

The five inductees were Law-rence J. Franck of Madison, Frank D. Montague Jr. of Hat-tiesburg, Lenore L. Prather of Columbus, the late William M. Champion and the late Thomas R. Etheridge.

“Professor Champion was a beloved teacher here,” Gershon said.

“He was teacher of the year for the university one year, and he was named a fellow of the Missis-sippi Bar Foundation after he had passed away.”

Etheridge was the first full-time U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi and served as a Mississippi state senator from 1948 to 1954.

Franck has held several posi-tions and has won many awards throughout his legal career, in-cluding president of the Mississip-pi Defense Lawyers Association and the Mississippi Bar Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Wind Ensemble will per-form at the Ford Center tonight, celebrating the 12th year of the Pride of the South Benefit Con-cert. The event is free and will kick off at 7:30 p.m.

The goal of the concert is to raise money for the band’s schol-arship fund, currently set at $2 million for their endowment fund. This concert can give them some financial stability re-garding the allocation of student scholarships.

Sophomore bassoon player Jodi Gilles believes more money

will help recruit new band mem-bers.

“We don’t get as much mon-ey as we deserve,” Gilles said. “More money will help us at-tract the best musicians in the state and the country.”

Nancy Frohn, the band’s ben-efit chair, said out-of-state tuition used to be waived for students who wanted to join the Univer-sity of Mississippi band, but the Institutions of Higher Learning ended that waiver seven years ago. Frohn also said they raise their fundraising goal every year to meet their financial demands.

“Dance like there’s no to-morrow.” This clichéd quote is one that I include in my life as often as possible. If you ask any of my friends, they will quickly tell you that I abso-lutely love to dance. Hopeful-ly, they’ll tell you that I’m an extremely good dancer, too.

Lately, I’ve danced quite fre-quently, but I’m certainly not complaining. My most memo-rable dance experience would have to be in the Grove Friday night at the Gavin DeGraw

and Craig Morgan concert. There is nothing more relax-ing and fun than dancing in the rain with your friends. You really should try it sometime; I think it should be on every-one’s bucket list to dance in the rain.

Dancing has always been a part of my life. From being a student in ballroom dance les-sons to teaching dance classes, I have mostly done it all. Ev-eryone needs a form of artistic expression in his or her life, and dancing is mine. I’m able to move freely and do what I want — things that don’t oc-cur too often in our hectic, scheduled lives.

While we all need a form of artistic expression, we also need a stress reliever in our lives. I should be more ac-

curate here: We need a safe, healthy stress reliever.

Many times I go over to do homework at a friend’s apart-ment and we end up dancing halfway through the night, taking a break from whatever we happen to be working on. Then, and don’t judge me for this, it’s a pretty common oc-currence for me to turn up the music and dance in my own apartment. Yes, I may look a bit silly or crazy (both of which I am), but I enjoy this time to just let go and relax during a busy week. Dancing while folding laundry is also a common activity of mine; you’ve got to find some way to make laundry enjoyable.

Life is too short to sit around and be boring all the time. The popular phrase “YOLO”

comes to mind here. While I can’t bring myself to serious-ly use this phrase in public, I think it would fit well here.

If I could give a bit of ad-vice, it would be not to let your dancing or other stress reliev-ers become a burden. I’ve cho-reographed multiple perfor-mances and recently assisted in choreographing an entire show. These are the types of situations where your fun ac-tivity becomes a stressor in it-self. It’s perfectly fine for work and play to mix on occasion, but for the most part, I prefer my work life and my personal or relaxing life to be filled with something different.

So, I’ve learned that danc-ing should not be a major part of my professional life because I don’t enjoy it as much when

this occurs. You should take out particular time to enjoy the things that make you happy or that you enjoy; that’s why I take time out to dance.

Whether you are dancing, running, laughing, swimming or doing whatever calms you, make sure to do it often. Life is too short, so enjoy the small things and have a good time. This is something we all have to remember, me especially, as we move into the final few weeks of the spring semester.

So, as we prepare for finals week, don’t forget to take breaks from studying and your busy life and just dance!

Let loose and enjoy the good times

BY ADAM BLACKWELL [email protected]

Last week, the U.S. media circuit was abuzz after Hilary Rosen, a prominent Washing-ton insider and well-known ad-viser to many members of the Democratic Party, made an in-sensitive statement in which she said that the Republican Party nominee Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, “had never worked a day in her life.”

This statement effectively – however unintentionally – mar-ginalized stay-at-home moms. In a matter of seconds, Rosen set off a social-media bomb on Facebook and Twitter. Promi-

nent conservative voices im-mediately hopped on the band-wagon, denouncing her words as an attack against all mothers across the United States.

I have to say, I don’t get it. The obligatory division of adult females into one of two groups – stay-at-home moms and working women – abso-lutely baffles me.

We all know the stereotype of your typical soccer mom: a woman who spends her day chauffeuring her kids, is sub-missive to her husband and does not dare, or care, to have an opinion of her own. Pop culture reduces these women to baby-making, dinner-cooking, man-pleasing machines.

Working women, on the other hand, have a drastically differ-ent (but equally negative) stereo-type. They are either stone-cold, ruthless women bent on moving forward in their careers, or si-

rens content to skate by on oth-er people’s coattails until their husband comes along.

Society’s idea that we must fall into one of these categories completely disregards the fact that most women do not fit into this cookie-cutter, polarized view of gender roles. On the contrary, we live in a society in which non-traditional roles are quickly becoming the norm.

Many women find themselves in the gray area between these two groups: single moms, work-ing mothers, etc. Hilary Rosen herself has two children.

Women feel pressured or even obligated to self-ascribe to one of these labels as if there were no other option. To make matters worse, the palpable animosity between the women of these two “factions” is much more than commonplace.

As Rosen’s slip-up so elo-quently demonstrated in front

of a national audience, working women are stereotyped as look-ing “down” on stay-at-home moms, insinuating that they chose the “easy,” submissive route in life and couldn’t pos-sibly understand the mental stress of a career. While I am sure that women who harbor this belief do exist, they are cer-tainly in the minority.

I, for one, find the entire situ-ation ridiculous. I know plenty of strong, independent women who are stay-at-home moms, businesswomen and everything in between. Few women would openly argue that motherhood is anything less than a full-time job, which makes the Hilary Rosen “scandal” even more lu-dicrous. Rosen herself said in a CNN follow-up column that being a mom was “the hardest job she ever had.”

I view this whole debacle as nothing more than a sensation-

alized ploy to distract American voters from more important, big-ticket issues that pertain to the November presidential election. One would hope that a single Washington insider’s op-ed would be enough to con-vince female voters across the United States that the Demo-cratic Party is anti-stay-at-home moms.

The idea that working wom-en like Hilary Rosen are against homemakers is just as ridicu-lous as the idea that all femi-nists must be bra-burning man-haters. If women are to protect their rights in the future, we must prove that our issues are more than a political football to be kicked around and ma-nipulated by politicians and the media.

Homemakers vs working women? Give me a break.

Prather was the first woman in Mississippi to serve as chief justice and was awarded the Mississippi Medal of Service by Gov. Bar-bour in 2009.

Montague has practiced civil lit-igation and civil practice through-out his career. He has been in-cluded in “The Best Lawyers in America” for 25 years.

When Montague heard the news of his induction a few months ago, he said he was a bit shocked, but extremely honored.

“I was deeply moved and grate-ful,” he said. “I’m not elite with the other nominees, but I’m hon-ored to be included among them, past and present.”

Montague, a 1950 law gradu-ate, has nothing but gratitude and respect for Ole Miss with all its accomplishments in scholarship, research and service.

“The university is a very special place in my heart and memory,” Montague said. “I’m honored when I think about the great lead-ers of the state, at all levels, who have graduated from the univer-sity.”

There are currently 10 alumni in the Law Alumni Hall of Fame. Some of them have held state leadership positions.

Anderson became not only the first black person to graduate from the University of Mississippi Law School in 1967 but also the first black justice to serve on the Mississippi Supreme Court. The Honorable Evelyn Gandy was the first female editor of the Mis-sissippi Law Journal and the first woman to hold the offices of state treasurer, commissioner of insur-ance, and lieutenant governor.

“These kids work so hard,” Frohn said. “People think they must get a lot of money because they’re in the band.”

With over 300 musicians in the UM band, today’s benefit concert is one of their most suc-cessful fundraisers every year.

With a record-breaking fresh-man class coming in next year, the band will look to expand as much as they can. They encour-age all students to attend the Wind Ensemble’s performance and donate.

Alan Jack Pinnow, a senior at Oxford High School who loved and performed theater through-out his life, died at his home in Oxford on Sunday, April 15. He was 18.

Pinnow had been battling a cancerous brain tumor for the last nine months.

Born in Cleveland, Miss., Pin-now spent most of his life in Ox-ford.

Cary Joe Davis, now a crimi-nal justice junior at Ole Miss, met Pinnow when they were children in the Oxford Children’s Choir. In high school, they worked together on two theater productions: “Man of La Mancha” and “How to Succeed in Business Without Re-ally Trying.” Davis said knowing Pinnow’s silly personality had a special effect on watching his per-formances on stage.

“In ‘Man of La Mancha’ (his character) was in a gang, sort of,”

Davis said. “He was this crazy, maniacal stereotype. He had a loud cackle. He was trying to be mean and serious, but you would just sit there and laugh because you’d know what kind of person Jack was.”

Pinnow’s father Peter teaches English at Oxford High School.

“I think that Jack thought it was cool that he went to the same high school where his dad worked,” Davis said. “That gave him more time to spend with his dad, more time to see him.”

John Davenport, Pinnow’s theater teacher at Oxford High School, spoke of Pinnow’s perfor-mance in the classroom.

“Jack was a great student,” Davenport said. “He was highly involved in the theater program here at OHS, and even though his absence has left a saddened, last-ing impression, the memories that all of us share about our time with him will help keep his spirit alive.”

Lakyn Collier, an Oxford High School senior, said Pinnow was a

talented guitarist and played other instruments, as well.

Collier said Pinnow’s other ex-tracurricular activities included planking, Japanese video-game dominating and Pokémon catch-ing.

“He knew everything there was to know about Pokémon, like what level they evolved at,” Collier said. “He had memorized the names of the different places and which ones could be found in each place.

“Jack was different than any-one I’ve ever met. He was himself. He hated the words ‘weird’ and ‘crazy,’ because they made things that were wonderful have negative connotations.”

Collier recounted one Hal-loween when Pinnow dressed up as Beaker from “The Muppet Show.”

“I spent forever spraying or-ange hair dye into his hair, and the whole time he was making chok-ing noises,” Collier said.

“He was real in a way that most people are too scared to be.

On Monday, Ole Miss head football coach Hugh Freeze and recently hired athletics di-rector Ross Bjork hit the road to begin the Rebel Road Trip, a six-day, exclusive tour of Mississippi and the surround-ing areas.

The Rebel Road Trip is a concept designed by the Ole Miss sports marketing team with initiatives to make the eight alumni stops Freeze is re-quired to make due to contract obligations, as well as give the Rebel faithful a closer look at Freeze and Bjork.

“It’s a coming-out party to rally the troops, so to speak,” said Michael Thompson, se-nior associate athletics direc-tor for communications and marketing. “It will rally the fans and get everyone excited. I think we’ll see a lot of energy off of that.”

The design was put in place

to let Freeze make all of the alumni meetings he is required to for the year, so he can de-vote the rest of those days to recruiting and coaching the football team.

“We are trying to hit all the major markets of Mississippi,” marketing coordinator Bran-don Hudspeth said. “We want to get Coach Freeze’s name out there and let people meet him because there are still some skeptics out there.”

Throughout the tour, Freeze and Bjork will make 16 stops, 13 in Mississippi, as well as Birmingham, Nashville and Memphis, the trip will con-clude in Oxford at the annual Double Decker Festival.

“When you condense that much activity in six days, there’s going to be a buzz all over the state and this region,” Thompson said.

Each stop along the Rebel Road Trip will include food, merchandise and a promotion-al video for the university.

ARKANSAS HIRES JOHN L. SMITH AS INTERIM COACH

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Eager to move on from the Bobby Petri-no scandal, Arkansas announced Monday that popular former as-sistant John L. Smith will return as head coach of the Razorbacks next season.

Smith, who left the Razorbacks after last season to become the head coach at Weber State, will be formally introduced on Tuesday. The school said Smith signed a 10-month, $850,000 contract and will also be eligible for other incen-tives.

“I am tremendously excited to have this special opportunity to re-turn to Arkansas and lead the Ra-zorback football program,” Smith said in a statement.

Smith’s return caps a whirlwind three weeks for an Arkansas pro-gram reeling in the wake of revela-tions of an affair by Petrino with a woman, Jessica Dorrell, he later hired as his assistant. Petrino also once gave his Dorrell $20,000 in gifts - all which was revealed follow-ing an April 1 motorcycle crash on a rural road southwest of Fayette-ville. Dorrell has since resigned.

NIK SCHOLTZ NAMED TO SEC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

STARKVILLE – Ole Miss men’s tennis freshman Nik Scholtz was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Tournament Team, which was announced fol-lowing the championship match on Sunday. Scholtz was one of six selected to the team.

Scholtz finished with three wins on the weekend to help lead the Rebels to the semifinals for the 15th time in school history. Against Arkansas, he teamed with Jonas Lutjen for an 8-6 win at No. 1 to clinch the doubles point. He was leading in the third set of his match at No. 1 singles when the Rebels clinched.

ABBY GUTHRIE NAMED TO SEC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

Ole Miss women’s tennis senior Abby Guthrie was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Tournament Team, which was an-nounced following the champion-ship match here Sunday. Guthrie was one of six named to the team.

Guthrie won her singles match in straight sets against Vanderbilt to set up freshman Erin Stephens’ match-clinching win at No. 3 sin-gles. The Rebels advanced to the SEC Championship semifinals for the third time in four years.

Yarbrough named SEC Co-Player of the Week

After an impressive perfor-mance at the plate last week, Yarbrough was named South-eastern Conference Co-Player of the Week by league offices on Monday.

Yarbrough hit .529 for the week, which included a .615 average against Arkansas, who held the league’s best team earned run average entering the weekend.

The Allen, Texas, native also extended his hitting streak to 19 games, sixth-best in school history, and he has hit safely in all but one conference game this season. In SEC play, Yar-

brough is hitting an impressive .427 and has totaled 14 RBI in those games.

Hively filling a new roleSenior right-hander R.J.

Hively had been one of the three weekend starters each week before this past week-end against Arkansas when he moved into the bullpen to help fill a need at the end of games.

In his first attempt this sea-son in the new role, it worked to perfection. Hively came in to relieve sophomore right-hander Mike Mayers in the seventh inning of Saturday’s 1-0 win over the Razorbacks. Hively pitched the final 2.2 in-nings of the game not giving up a hit and striking out the side in the ninth inning to se-cure the win.

Although his goal was to be-come a starter, Hively is OK with the move back to the bull-pen.

“It’s a new role, but it’s the same aspect when you go out there,” Hively said. “You want to fill up the zone and throw up zeros.

“The only thing different is coming to the ballpark every-day knowing you could pitch rather than knowing that you’re going to start on that certain day. You’ve just got to be more prepared and more

mentally ready.”SEC RoundupOle Miss moved up in each

poll after a midweek win against Mississippi State and taking two of three this week-end against Arkansas. The Rebels are ranked as high as No. 18 in Baseball America’s latest poll. Ole Miss is also list-ed at No. 19 in both the Col-legiate Baseball Newspaper poll and USA Today/ESPN coaches’ poll as well as No. 21 in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) poll.

The Razorbacks dropped in each poll but are still ranked as high as No. 17 in both the USA Today/ESPN coaches’ poll and NCBWA.

LSU is ranked as high as No. 3, according to Collegiate Baseball, after dropping two of three on the road at Ken-tucky, which is No. 1 in the lat-est Collegiate Baseball rank-ings. Mississippi State swept Tennessee at home, and Van-derbilt won two of three over Alabama over the weekend.

Florida is ranked No. 2, ac-cording to the NCBWA and the USA Today/ESPN coach-es’ poll after taking a series win against Georgia. South Caroli-na is ranked as high as No. 4 in the NCBWA poll after a series sweep of Auburn.

the end zone by junior defensive back Dehendret Collins.

“I thought I had a pretty good day,” Wallace said. “That one (in-terception) down here in the end zone, it’s still lingering with me a little bit. I think Donte came up and made a lot of good plays for me, so he helped me out a lot.”

After starting out slowly in spring practice, Wallace has come on strong in the past two weeks. He capped that off with a good Grove Bowl and is pleased with how he’s played recently.

“I think I just started playing football the past two weeks,” Wallace said. “You know, not re-ally thinking about competition as much, just coming out and playing ball.”

Brunetti struggled at times dur-ing the spring game, but a shaky offensive line was part of the rea-son. He did have success running the ball, including a long run to set up the game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter.

“I felt like overall I had a great spring,” Brunetti said. “A little off and on, but overall, I think I had more better days than bad days.”

Both players head into the off-season trying to improve their

knowledge of the playbook and show their leadership capabilities to the rest of the team.

“Just establish myself as a lead-er,” Wallace said. “When we’re running, be the first one done. Be the last one to leave this facility in the summer. Show these guys that I want the job and that they can follow me.”

“I’m trying to learn it all going into the fall,” Brunetti said. “I don’t want to have any mishaps of not knowing anything going into fall camp.”

Hoping to keep the momen-tum from this past weekend’s series win over Arkansas, No. 18 Ole Miss (27-13) will face the Memphis Tigers (17-23) tonight at AutoZone Park in Memphis.

The Rebels defeated the Ti-gers 7-2 earlier this season in Oxford. In that matchup, Ole Miss used a five-run eighth inning to claim the victory.

Junior right-hander Tan-

ner Bailey will get the nod on the mound for Ole Miss in tonight’s contest. Bailey has been used exclusively out of the bullpen this season, but he’s been very productive. In 14.1 innings of work this season, Bailey boasts a 3.77 earned run average and a 1-0 record. He has also record-ed 17 strikeouts to just four walks.

His opponent will be junior left-hander Michael Wills, who is 2-1 on the year with a 4.60 earned run average in

47.0 innings pitched. Wills has also recorded 26 strike-outs. He started against Ole Miss earlier this season and went 6.0 innings giving up two runs, one earned and four hits in the outing.

At the plate, Ole Miss holds an advantage by a large mar-gin. The Rebels have a team batting average of .315, com-pared to the .280 team aver-age for Memphis. Ole Miss averages 6.35 runs per game, compared to 5.5 runs per game for the Tigers.

Junior second baseman Alex Yarbrough continued to lead the Rebels and ranks second in the Southeastern

No. 18 Diamond Rebs look to keep momentum in midweek clash with Memphis Tigers Tuesday

Junior second baseman Alex Yarbrough was named the SEC Co-Player of the Week. Yarbrough hit .529 this past week.ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian

Saturday’s Grove Bowl was the final opportunity for sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace and ju-nior quarterback Barry Brunetti to impress the coaching staff during the spring.

Wallace appeared to have the better performance Saturday, completing 16 of 26 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Brunetti was 4-of-10 for 62 yards but also rushed for 109 yards on 14 carries.

“Just off the top of my head, I thought Bo had the best day,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “I thought he functioned very, very well – kept us on schedule for the most part. Barry had some explo-

sive plays, too. And they’re kind of a good combination, but they’re two different guys.”

As it stands, both players head into the summer as co-number ones. Because the coaching staff is new, Freeze said naming a leader after only 15 practices wouldn’t be fair to the quarterbacks.

“No, I won’t say that,” Freeze said. “I think it’s too early to tell that based on the way they are hav-ing to learn the new offense. I think it would be unfair at this point to say that until we get a couple weeks into fall camp.”

Wallace led the Red team to a touchdown in the opening series, hitting sophomore wide receiver Donte Moncrief for a one-yard score. His second touchdown came in the overtime period, as Wallace found Moncrief again from 23 yards out.

His only blemish in terms of turnovers was an interception near

Both quarterbacks remain even heading into summer
