HOMECOMING WINNERS ANNOUNCED

The Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Penn-sylvania is a small private school that attracted big public atten-tion last week when it banned all online social media including Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and AOL for an entire week. The purpose of the ban, ac-

cording to the university, was to make students see what life would be like without social me-dia. The university also wanted to spark public interest in the issue. Eric Darr, Harrisburg Univer-

sity Provost, said in an inter-view with NPR that he is not anti-technology, he just believes today’s college students take the role of social media in their life for granted. The social media blackout was simply an experi-ment. Darr called it an “academ-ic exercise.” With Harrisburg’s experiment

arises questions of whether oth-er universities should also try a week-long online social media ban. It makes one wonder what

the effectiveness of such a ban would be at the University of Mississippi. When asked about this issue, Ole Miss students ex-pressed mixed emotions.“I definitely wouldn’t like it,”

said Xavier Hunter, sophomore from Columbus. Hunter said that social networking is a way he keeps up with friends and something he looks forward to when finished with homework. “When and how much I use Facebook is none of the Univer-sity’s business,” Hunter said.Robin Ann Riggle, a freshman

from Orlando, echoed Hunter. “As a college student, you

should be in charge of your own time,” Riggle said. Other students said they un-

derstood the thought behind the ban.Jay Patterson, a freshman from

Jackson, Tenn., said, “I don’t use networks such as Facebook very often, but I definitely see how it gets in the way of study-ing.” Patterson also said that it is more a self discipline problem

Oxford TEA Party chairperson Kay Cobb addresses the crowd at Tuesday night’s gathering. The meeting was the first in Oxford for the newly organized group.

Oxford Lawyer Ray Garrett wants Washington to repre-sent the working class people.Fearing the country is head-

ing in an unsustainable di-rection, Garrett became a co-founder of the Oxford TEA Party to make a difference for his children.“I am not naive enough to

think the government cares what Ray Garrett says,” Gar-rett said at last night’s TEA Party meeting. “But you can bet they do care what 100 people say.”

TEA Party Chairperson Kay Cobb, who co-founded the group with Garrett over a lunch meeting, said the group’s base goal is informing the vot-ing public.“This November, we have

nine different people running for judge positions,” Cobb said. “In my opinion, judge-ships are often what we are the most uniformed on.”Because of that, the group is

organizing a judges forum in October where all nine judges will be present, so people will have more to go on than just a

BY MATTHEW KINGCartoonist

I am the world’s greatest lover.Maybe. Actually, I heard someone start a speech

with that line once. It was an amazing speech. The guy captivated me from the very beginning. You don’t tune out someone who claims to be the best ever in bed. In fact, if I am going to be completely hon-

est, I did not see this speech in person. In high school, my speech and debate coach showed us some oratories (ten-minute speeches) that had placed at the big national competition. This was one of them from a while back.Three years later, I could not tell you the

name of the boy if my life depended on it. I could not even tell you what the rest of his speech was about.All I know is he claimed to be the modern

day Don Juan, and that image stuck with me.Occasionally things are so attention-grab-

bing that we will never forget them. Some-times an image in a movie or on the news sears our brains, but other times a simple

phrase or turn of words can captivate us in ways we would never expect.This makes me wonder– what is it that

makes us tune certain things out, while oth-ers stay with us for years?In ninth grade world history, I learned that

the capital of American Samoa was Pago Pago. That’s one of maybe three things I can tell you I learned during my freshman year of high school. Everything else went in one ear and out the

other.After each semester of college, about five

tons of information gets dumped from our minds never to be found again. Very few things stick permanently, but

when they do, it is quite incredible. I hope to one day leave something in your mind. Whether you are completely pissed off at

an opinion I have or if you simply remember that one column you read once that started as “I am the world’s greatest lover,” I want to make an impression.Every day professors talk, and we don’t re-

member. You read books, and you don’t re-

member. You watch people walk through the Grove, but you don’t remember their faces.I think everyone should strive to leave their

mark. There really isn’t much to life if you never

influence someone else. So be a great friend, a great student, a great

person, or a horrible one. Jack the Ripper is remembered. My question is: Would you rather drift

through life unidentified, be known for something horrible you did (mass murder does indeed qualify as horrible) or be known for your love making skills? I, my friends, hope to be the world’s great-

est lover. Well, if you translate “lover” into “journal-

ist” or “writer.” I mean, do not get me wrong, I’m not dis-

respecting my skills at “love,” but my par-ents read my columns. OK, so maybe I can be the world’s great-

est lover/writer that taught you the capital of American Samoa. I bet I would have a hard time finding someone who could beat that.

I’m leaving my mark

I would like to respond to the article “Meet the Dean.”I have worked many events with him and its

very easy to realize how sincere he is about hav-ing the students best interest in mind at all times.He speaks to freshmen at orientation about

Ole Miss policy, especially the new alcohol pol-icy. His main objective is to help each student have a great experience at Ole Miss and most of

all get a degree. He makes himself available any time they need his help at all hours of the night. He works closely with our outstanding counsel-ing center to make sure they get things right. He lives his job and cares about every student at this university. Can you imagine how many lives he has changed in his long tenure here?If you have never met him, I encourage you to

make a point of stopping by his office. You’ll be impressed with his massive knowledge of Ole

Miss and what a credit he is to this university.In closing, Sparky, you are my choice for mas-

cot. That way generations to come will get to know the countless contributions you have made here. Thanks for all you do.

Letter to the Editor

Sunburned and sick to my stomach from a day of fried food and Coke, I slumped and sneezed in a folding chair amid a dusty pall kicked up by feet shuffling along the blue fire lane in the Grove on Saturday. I had witnessed losses to Vanderbilt before. I had braved extreme heat, stinging rain and

bitter cold to see the Rebs play and lose. I sat loyally through the Coach O years. But I can honestly say Saturday’s loss was the

lowest of lows. In a game in which the Rebs crucially needed

to prove to fans (who are paying more than ever for tickets) that hope still remains, we played with the emotional vigor of Mr. Potato Head. We looked like the Toon Squad playing the

Monstars before Bugs Bunny passed around “Michael’s Secret Stuff.” We looked like the Mud Dogs before Bobby

Bouchet showed up. We looked like Vanderbilt usually looks.Sure, I got mad about the dropped passes and

the missed tackles and the recurring inability to

gain a yard – one yard! – on back-to-back plays. But, what most perturbed me about Saturday was the fact that I saw nary a sign of unified spirit from Ole Miss fans besides the opening Hotty Toddy. The 11:21 kick-off time, the high-90s tem-

perature and the sparsely populated North End Zone did not help the gameday atmosphere, but it went beyond that. Around the time the Jumbotron went dim in

the fourth quarter (which was quite analogous to our season), we lacked all cohesion on the field and in the stands. Down two touchdowns with around seven

minutes to play, we should have been on our feet yelling, pleading our team for a comeback. Instead, many fans left. Others sat and fiddled around on their iP-

hones. Some booed the coaches as precious sec-onds melted off the clock. I held my hands on my head and muttered,

“This is unbelievable.” Still others flipped off the few hundred cheer-

ing Vandy fans. We were as disorganized as the players.If we were going to flip off the Vandy fans

(which I am not condoning), we should have at least done it together. I yearned for some sort of call to action – from

last year’s halftime microphone guy, the towel-waving, head-bobbing former drummer or even from Hotty Toddy Man. None came.After we failed to convert the 4th-and-1 from

midfield, I dropped my pom-pom to the ground and headed for the exit as I have done many a time over the years. Nonetheless, this loss felt different. Usually I

get angry and unresponsive or feel downright cheated. Saturday I was absent of all emotion and completely detached.Hopefully before next Saturday we can collec-

tively find some of that “Secret Stuff ” or get a boost from an unassuming waterboy-- anything to give us all a little Mojo. But maybe, just maybe, what we really need is

a mascot.

SPEAKING OF THAT: We need to find our Mojo in the stands, too

The University’s newly formed Violence Prevention Office has launched a new campaign called Green Dot.“Green Dot is a bystander inter-

vention program,” Violence Pre-vention Coordinator Linda Abbott said. “We are informing and edu-cating students about when they see potential violence; how it is possible for them to intervene.”Abbott spread the word about the

new Green Dot strategy to fresh-men students by visiting classes and orientations. She spoke to all sections of the university’s EDHE 105 course and every orientation session over the summer.“We are basically informing

our students about how they can change the culture of violence on their campus by recognizing po-tential violence with what we call a red dot and replacing it with a green dot, which is any sort of ac-tion or behavior that counters vio-lence,” Abbot said.The Violence Prevention Office

was created in January 2010 after the University received a grant of more than $300,000 from the De-partment of Justice Office on Vio-lence against Women. “We want everyone on campus to

know that we have these policies in place, so that if they find them-selves as a victim of violence, we want them to know that the uni-versity has policies in place to help them, and we also wanted everyone to know about the Violence Pre-vention Office because we are still a pretty new office,” Abbott said. “We get referrals from UPD, from counseling, sometimes even from faculty, but we can’t get referrals if no one knows we are here.”The Violence Prevention Office

works closely with the University Police Department as well as the

Student Conduct Office.“It is my job to assess what their

needs are and then try to help them get whatever it is they need,” Abbott said. “It might be dealing with the Student Conduct Office, it might be a reference to counsel-ing, it might be working with their professors or deans if it is affecting their academic career or it could be working with law enforcement: Whatever they need to help them through the process.”Melinda Pullen Carlson is Associ-

ate Dean of Students for the Stu-dent Conduct Office.“Our office works closely with

the Office of Violence Prevention when working with alleged victims of sexual assault and relationship violence as well as working with the office to train the University Judicial Council on topics such as working with victims of sexual as-sault in conduct hearings,” Carlson said.According to Carlson, a Sexual

Assault and Relationship Violence Task Force was brought together to discuss prevention, education, policy development, assessment, intervention and treatment. The task force decided to add the

new policies to the M-Book and online policy directory by review-ing policies of other institutions.“Our services are confidential, so

if someone does want to come in to speak to us, they can do so and know that it is going to be confi-dential,” Abbott said. “I think that is important when we are talking about victims to have that safety.” Abbot also said that awareness is

key.“Part of our goal is to make sure

everybody knows we are here,” Ab-bott said. Students can learn more about

the Violence Prevention Office and the Green Dot strategy by visiting the office’s website at http://violen-ceprevention.olemiss.edu.

than anything else. USA Today reported that in the United States, 92% of students use Facebook and spend an average of 147 minutes on it each week. With such a large number of users, it is apparent that social networking sites such as Facebook are a big part of students’ lives and therefore take up a lot of their time. The question is whether the time consumed in so-

cial networking is hurting the student.Brandon Dennis, a senior from Gulfport, says that

because he lives off campus, the ban wouldn’t af-fect him. Dennis said that he and others living off

campus would still use social networking, just not at the auniversity.Ole Miss junior Cary Robins from Hattiesburg,

supported the claim that students spend too much time on Facebook and Twitter, but said he also real-izes the positive aspects of social networking. “Social networking is a way to keep in touch with

friends throughout the day. Also, many campus or-ganizations use online social networking to com-municate with students,” Robbins said.Students at the Harrisburg University of Science

and Technology are now more aware of the affect that social networking has on their lives. For some, because they had to live with the ban for

an entire week, and for others, because they had to find ways around it.

ORGANIZATION

Although Christmas is months away, local organizers are pre-paring for Operation Christ-mas Child. Mae Stone, local organizer

since 2001, has started the work to make collections for this year. Donors are encouraged to fill

shoeboxes with toys, letters, pictures, candies and other treats to be delivered to under-privileged children around the world. “Lots of people write letters

and include pictures in the shoeboxes, and some people have received pictures and let-ters from the children,” Stone said. There is a $7 donation re-

quested with each box to al-leviate shipping costs for the foundation. The kickoff event was last

night at Calvary Baptist Church. Organizers showed “Journey

of a Shoebox,” a slideshow that highlights the process of what happens once the shoeboxes are filled and shipped. Stone said they show the slideshow because a lot of people bring their shoeboxes to the drop-off and never know what happens to it afterwards.They also filled some shoebox-

es at the event to show people how they can have a shoebox-filling party, since churches and organizations often want to fill multiple boxes. Last year in Oxford, the local

group collected 3,507 boxes. This year they set a goal of

4,000 boxes. Stone said she didn’t have

the total for what the Univer-sity did last year, but said she would love to see 1,000 boxes come from it this year. In the coming weeks, Stone

and her assistants will meet with different university groups

like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Campus Crusade, as well as fraternities and so-rorities to inform them on how to become involved. Other sporting groups, such

as the women’s volleyball and basketball teams, have commit-ted to participating this year. Stone said that they will not

restrict any willing group from participating. Stone said she would love to

see every student at Ole Miss fill a shoebox. “It would be an awful thing

for students to miss the oppor-tunity, because we are blessed with so much and there are so many children around the world who have never even received a gift or anything,” Stone said. “Even the smallest little thing that you could put into a shoebox could impact the lives of these children.”Operation Christmas Child

asks individuals to fill shoe-

boxes with toys and treats that children all across the world would enjoy. The group was created by

Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian relief and evangelism organiza-tion. There are currently 12 other

countries that collect shoebox-es and send them to children in over 100 countries. The shoeboxes go to churches

in those countries and they dis-tribute the boxes to the com-munities. During the week of November

15-19, there will be a collec-tion table set up in the Union to allow individuals to drop off their shoeboxes. The national collection week

is November 15-22. To allow groups a drop off

point to avoid carrying mul-tiple boxes into the Union, or-ganizers will establish an Ox-ford collection center at a later date.

Operation Christmas Child to begin prep work

ELIZABETH BEAVER | The Daily Mississippian

Freshman accountancy major Chelsea Harris prepares her Operation Christmas shoebox at Calvary Baptist Church on Tues-day night. The shoeboxes go to underprivileged children in foreign countries. The Oxford community shoebox goal is 4000 this year.

The Board of Aldermen ap-proved the purchase of two new vehicles for the Metro Narcotics Unit (MNU) of Oxford.The narcotics unit utilizes

seized vehicles for transpor-tation. However, many are in need of major repairs.Due to maintenance issues

with the confiscated vehicles, much of the unit’s budget has gone to vehicle repair. Captain Keith Davis said he believes purchasing two new vehicles will alleviate their current spending situation. “Some of the people don’t

take care of their cars and we end up having to fix them,” Davis said. Agents for the narcotics

unit do not operate on the same eight to-12 hour a day schedule as many other law enforcement agents. Instead, they are on call one week out of the month.This means the agents don’t

leave the station. They leave from wherever they are when

they receive a drug related call. A safe and reliable means of transportation is essential to narcotic agents doing their job.The funding for the two

vehicles will come from the metro narcotics unit’s bud-get, reaching the amount of approximately $60,000. Davis would not disclose

the type of vehicles they will purchase due to the nature of violators, but said the ve-hicles they will purchase will appropriately meet the unit’s needs.The MNU unit handles

cases throughout Oxford and the Ole Miss campus. The University police department usually handles cases on cam-pus that stay at or below the misdemeanor range for illegal drugs, but the narcotics unit of Oxford handles any drug related incidents involving a felony amount of illegal drugs.“Our patrol isn’t confined

to one area. Drugs don’t dis-criminate,” Davis said. “We patrol ‘hot spots,’ ‘complaint spots’, as well as ‘call-ins.’”

name come Nov. 2.Cobb said the group declined

membership with the Missis-sippi TEA Party in order to keep the group local.“We will work with them, but

we wanted locals to make lo-cal decisions,” Cobb said. “We don’t want someone from far away telling us what to do.”The other benefit to this,

Cobb said, is that they would be more than noisemakers.“We are not just here to make

a bunch of noise — we want to make a difference,” Cobb said. “We are here to put feet on the ground.”Garrett said if we don’t get out

there now, he is afraid for what will happen during his chil-dren’s lifetime.“My 3-year-old boy and

7-year-old girl are where my sun rises and sets,” Garrett said. “It was frightening to sit down and try to figure out where we would be 20 to 30 years down the road.”Garrett said the country cur-

rently has unsustainable rising debt, mounting deficits and in-sane spending.“The government is elected to

do a job, and if they are not do-ing that job, we should revoke their privileges as an elected of-ficial,” Garrett said. “And being elected is a privilege because we are watching, and we are not stupid. We know bologna when we see it, and if it is bologna — we need to revoke them.”Northwest Mississippi Com-

munity College Student Zach Hampton said it was a good

meeting.“I originally did not want to

come, but I was glad I did,” Hampton said. “It was nice to see a group of people on the same page.”Hampton, who is planning

to go into the medical field, said he was worried about the health care package.“It makes me nervous about

going into medicine,” Hamp-ton said. “You know, I still want to get paid.”While they lean toward Con-

servative ideals, Garrett made it clear that he was not just dissat-isfied with just the Democratic Party.“I bark at both parties,” Gar-

rett said. “If the political fringe is more important than the working class people, then they need to be revoked. I don’t care if they are Republican or Dem-ocrat.”Garrett said another impor-

tant aspect of the group was to restore the countries values.“And by values, I mean Judeo-

Christian values,” Garrett said. “Our forebears put those values in our constitution and helped us found a country from the wilderness. These values are what make us so great.”Oxford Attorney Reed Martz

said he came to the meeting so he could play his part in send-ing Washington a message.“Both parties need to under-

stand that we are tired of their irresponsible ways and their disregard for the constitution,” Martz said. “It is all about get-ting Washington’s attention.”

patio area, elevated above the crowd stands a man behind two turntables and a laptop. Built like a portly de-fensive lineman, he’s wearing a black oversized Polo shirt, khaki cargo shorts and black Nike shoes.Headphones grip his sweaty bald

dome. He gazes into the computer screen and fiddles with the knobs on the mixing board.“Somebody dim the lights,” he says

into the microphone. “Now we’re in business.”Mario Herron, aka DJ Mario, the

Library’s longtime DJ, has begun his set.The mostly-student crowd is

packed in shoulder-to-shoulder. Many sport alcohol-induced smiles and glassy eyes, their skin sun-burned from a day of tailgating in the Grove.In this energetic atmosphere, no

one would ever know the Rebels just suffered a disappointing loss to Vanderbilt just hours before. The Auburn-Clemson game is

showing on a projection screen. It’s down to the wire, but no one seems

to notice.They came here to party, and that’s

what they’ll do.The first song Herron plays is the

Black Eyed Peas’ 2005 hit “My Humps,” and the crowd immedi-ately reacts. Some dance and sing along to the ridiculous lyrics (“What you gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?”), while others simply bob their heads to the beat.A blonde girl in a blue cocktail

dress hops up on chair, beer in hand, and begins to gyrate her hips. A drunken guy in a red Ole Miss

polo stumbles around pleading with every girl in his proximity to dance with him. After several rejections, one eventually obliges.“I love this guy,” Alicia Small, a

junior psychology major, said and points to Herron. “He’s awesome! He plays the best music around. I come here to dance!”The songs – all of them upbeat and

danceable – flow seamlessly from one to the next, with Herron adding turntable scratches here and there.His trademark catchphrase, “in

the meantime between time,” rings throughout the night.“I got that from my grandfather,”

Herron said, “He used to always say

it when I was a kid.”Laquita Parker, a 2006 Ole Miss

alum who lives in Batesville, said she always checks to see if DJ Mario is there before she pays the $10 cover.“I’m not a dancer. But if I dance, it’s

because he’s playing,” she said. “He’s the best DJ around because he plays the newest, most popular songs, but he’s been around long enough to know the old songs too.”Herron said he never has a set play-

list and usually takes more than 100 requests a night.“It’s very important to listen to re-

quests because they’re your custom-ers,” Herron said. He also adds that it’s usually girls who let him know what the hot new songs are.Herron, 36, was born in Oxford

and spent his childhood in Charles-ton, a small Delta town in Tal-lahatchie County. He returned to Oxford in 1985 and has lived here since. Herron came to be DJ Mario in

2002 after being hired at the Library as a bouncer.As a bouncer, he played dance mu-

sic when the band was on break. His charisma and DJ skills made him an instant hit, and within a year he went from bouncer to the house DJ.

He originally called himself DJ Fat Mack, a name he had had since he first started dee-jaying at age 15, but students insisted on calling him DJ Mario.Herron usually dee-jays three

nights a week at the Library.When asked what is his favorite

part about a gig, Herron said “seeing the crowd dance and have a good time” is first. Herron’s services aren’t limited to

the Library, though. He said he’ll perform anywhere.“BIG or SMALL events” reads his

business card. He does wedding re-ceptions, pool parties, fundraisers and car shows. Charity functions are his favorite.“I love dealing with the kids and

giving back to the kids,” he said.The music he plays isn’t confined

to the hip-hop genre.“I play it all,” he said. “I have about

12,000 songs.”On certain Sundays he plays blues

music for a group of seniors. True to his Delta roots, Herron is a blues

man who plays guitar and would rather listen to B.B. King and Muddy Waters than 50 Cent or Lil Wayne.On top of being Oxford’s premier

DJ, Herron also holds down a full-time job.For the past 15 years, he has

worked at Oxford’s North Missis-sippi Regional Center, a care facility for the mentally disabled. As a direct care supervisor, he

works directly with patients of all ages, making sure they follow their meal and school schedule, among other tasks. Herron said at first he didn’t know what he was getting in to, but it has turned out to be a fun and rewarding career.Chasity Wilburn is a personnel

technician who has worked with Herron for 11 years. “He’s great with the clients,” Wil-

burn said. “He’s outgoing, and he never says a cross word about any-one. He rarely misses work.”When he’s not working, he likes to

spend time with his daughters Do-

minique, 10, Madisyn, 9, and his four-month old son Mario Jr.“He’s the next DJ Mario,” he said

with a laugh.Contrary to popular belief, Her-

ron’s interests extend beyond the turn-table. As a hobby, he collects cars (he owns nine), rides his mo-torcycle and goes out to eat with friends and family. Red Lobster and The Little Dooey, Oxford’s newest barbeque restaurant, are two of his favorites.Nonetheless, his night life is serv-

ing Oxonians with a beat they can dance to.As the night wore on, the crowd

thinned some and inhibitions con-tinued to loosen.Tipsy guys and girls made their

way up the spiral metal stairs to the DJ platform to request a song. Her-ron greeted them with a smile and a handshake then searched for the song on his laptop.Herron used to end his set with

“From Dixie with Love,” but has phased it out since the Ole Miss band was barred from playing it last fall. He now plays Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll Part 2,” aka “The Hey Song,” 15 minutes before clos-ing with the spirited Hotty Toddy chant.“Good night ya’ll. Ya’ll have a safe

drive home,” Herron said as he closed out the evening.Then came the dreaded orders

from the bouncers: “Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Time to go. Finish your drinks.”The crowd herded to the doors.Herron packed his $3,000 worth

of equipment in a large metallic case and made his way down the stairs.When asked what separates him

from other DJs, Herron said, after a long pause, “I don’t like to brag about how good I am at something. It’s God’s gift that I’m able to do this.”Herron did, however, divulge a few

characteristics vital to any DJ.“You have to have a good voice,

be able to get people’s attention and stay positive even when you might get frustrated.”His advice for aspiring DJs: “You

got to have a heart for music and a heart for people. You got to be a people person.”“It’s a blessing,” Herron said of be-

ing a DJ. “I love it.”

DJ MARIO, continued from page 8

Not too much comes out of Hou-ma, La., a town with a population just under 33,000––not much, that is, except for spicy food, Ca-jun accents and Dax Riggs.The 36-year-old formed his first

band in his late teens under the dubious name Corruption. From there, the Louisianan mu-

sician went on to from multiple other bands, ranging from the heavy metal Acid Bath, to the less aggressive Agents of Oblivion, to the two man project, Deadboy and the Elephantman which in-

cluded Dax and his drummer, Tessie Brunet.After his seven year stint with

Deadboy and the Elephantman which included two albums (If This is Hell, Then I’m Lucky and We Are Night Sky) and sev-eral festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, the band members parted ways. In 2007 Riggs became the offi-

cial moniker of all following re-cords and performances.Riggs released his first solo album

in August, 2007, We sing of Only Blood or Love under Oxford’s own Fat Possum Records, which

Deadboy and the Elephantman had originally signed with. This past August, his second

album, Say Goodnight to the World, was released garnering im-mediate attention from the music world, even gaining Riggs another stint at ACL.While his music has slowly drift-

ed from the heavy to an almost mellow sound in comparison to his origins, Riggs’ lyrics still contain the edge and soul that has been consistent to his name throughout his career.Pulling influence from musicians

of all caliber, Riggs includes Iron

Maiden, the Kinks, Iggy Pop and even David Bowie in his list of top inspirations. Called everything from swamp

rock to sludge to blues grunge, Riggs said in an interview at ACL, “[he has] only touched the surface of what we [the band] can do.”Riggs is bringing his mix of

blues, rock and metal to the in-die-enthralled Oxford tonight at 8 p.m. at Proud Larry’s. He comes to offer his darker,

more somber tunes to a town that always welcomes a change from the stereotypical country flair of Mississippi.

This is no black-shirted Johnny Cash with a metal guitar, but a band with a real soul at the lead, who has no fear in singing lyrics such as “Gonna lay with a ghost by my side/ let the birds take to the sky/ Gonna try and drown or drink/ the river dry,” in a time where too many kids want to call Paramore dark.“I believe in truth,” Riggs said

in his interview with ACL. “And I believe in magic. I believe that what you want yourself to be you can be if you believe it. And what-ever you want to happen can hap-pen.”

Senior hospitality management major Ella Gentry saw a fellow stu-dent in need and organized a Tay-lor Hashman fundraiser at Swayze Field.Gentry organized a 5K run/walk

for Hashman, a former Ole Miss baseball player who was seriously injured after an altercation in Au-gust. The run/walk is scheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 9. Gentry said an extensive ICU stay

coupled with rehab has racked up quite a medical bill, which has put a burden on the Hashman family.“His dad was out of work and had

to go back and forth from Florida to Memphis while Taylor was in ICU,” Gentry said. “His dad is still out of work, and Taylor is going through rehabilitation dealing with his brain.”Gentry, a cross country and track

athlete, said she hopes people come out and support Hashman.“He was a big part of the school,

and I hope people will sign up to support Taylor and his family,” Gentry said. “It will not only help him financially, but it will also help his spirits.”Hashman will not be present due

to conflicts with his rehab, Gentry said.“I have talked to him, and he is

aware it is going on,” said Gentry, who grew up in Florida, near Hash-man. “He is really grateful that it is happening.”Even though Hashman won’t

be there, Gentry said the baseball team, along with other student athletes would come out in sup-port of Hashman.“They will be on hand and avail-

able to sign autographs for chil-dren,” Gentry said.Gentry said Hashman, who is

back in his hometown of Naples,

Fla., is getting better.“He is hoping to take classes this

spring and finish up his degree,” Gentry said. “I know he wants to make a couple of the football games as well. He is really anxious to get back to Oxford and his friends.”The entry fee for the fundraiser is

$20. For more information, to sign up

or to sponsor the event, contact Gentry at 941-780-1503. Hashman was injured after an ar-

gument in front of his apartment. After being struck by a blow to

the face, he fell and hit his head on the ground. Hashman was unconscious when

police arrived. He was released from the Memphis-based hospital in late August.

One look at the Ole Miss defen-sive depth chart reveals a roster littered with juniors and seniors that have become team leaders during their time in Oxford. However, as the Rebels head

into Saturday’s game against Fresno State, the team is still in need of a leader to bring the unit together. The names always mentioned on defense are Jerrell Powe, Kentrell Lockett, Johnny Brown and Ted Laurent, but it may be sophomore D.T. Shack-elford who is up to the task.“We’ve got to come together, we

got to come together and have confidence in what we do and buy into the scheme,” Shack-elford said. “It’s been working for three years man, you’ve seen the back to back Cotton Bowl

wins.”Shackelford, a highly recruited

player from Decatur, Ala., came in last season as a true freshman and played in eleven games. He recorded 20 tackles and an inter-ception return for a touchdown.He has continued his great play

this season, but is concerned that the Ole Miss defense, and team in general, seem to get down whenever they begin to trail in a game.“Not more of when we up, but

when we down. When some-thing bad happens, adversity is going to strike,” Shackelford said. “That’s in life, that’s in football. We’ve got to find a way to come back at it, I feel like right now we aren’t throwing that punch after we get punched,” Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt

and defensive coordinator Ty-

rone Nix agreed that missed as-signments really hurt the Rebels’ chances against Vanderbilt, and Shackelford was quick to agree with that assessment.“You can always track some-

thing bad happening to an as-signment, a missed assignment,” Shackelford said. “Coach Nix always says no MA’s today, no MA’s (missed assignments) and bam, one missed assignment and they get an 80-yard run.”Along with the 80-yard run

given up to Vanderbilt running back Warren Norman, the other big play by the Commodores was a 35-yard scramble for a touchdown by quarterback Larry Smith.“(On the 35-yard run) some-

one missed their gap man, just missed their gap,” Shackelford

Last year, as the second attacking option to now-graduated senior Hannah Weatherly, ju-nior Dylan Jordan played a vital role in an Ole Miss offense that ranked second in the South-eastern Conference and 31st in the nation. Jor-dan finished second on the team with six goals and five assists. This year, Jordan has found a knack for con-

stantly getting to the ball and scoring key goals to lead the Rebel offense. After a three-goal per-formance this past weekend against Southern Miss and TCU, she was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week.“It’s just a hunger,” Jordan said. “It’s not re-

ally anything I do particularly that separates me skill-wise. It’s just a will to score goals. And that’s the way it is with any forward or with any team’s top goal-scorer.”She also has an incredible work rate and in-

tensity that sets her apart from most players. Jordan has played more minutes than any other forward or midfielder on the team and has cov-ered a lot of ground from her attacking mid-field position. In last year’s 3-2 double-overtime win over Auburn, she suffered a concussion, but missed only nine minutes of the game.“Her (work rate) is unbelievable,” coach Matt

Mott said. “Her ability to play at a high level for 90 minutes every game out is really a credit to her mentality, her fitness level, and her inten-sity. She has an intensity that I’ve never really seen in a player. She goes 100 percent of the time, all the time, and that’s really enjoyable to coach.”She came into the Ole Miss program last year

as transfer-sophomore from SMU, but still made her mark on the team. After scoring the

game-winning goal against Alabama in the reg-ular season finale and netting another goal in the rivalry game with Mississippi State, she was named to Top Drawer Soccer’s national team of the week.“Last year, I came in as a transfer (from SMU)

and it was a lot like coming in as a freshman because everything was different at a different school,” Jordan said. “Hannah (Weatherly) and Dee (Johnson) definitely gave you direction on the field, but they also gave you direction off the field.”Now, Dylan is the veteran upperclassman, or-

ganizing and orchestrating freshmen Erin Em-erson and Mandy McCalla in the offensive at-tack. Her coach calls her a general on the field and

her teammates recognized her leadership by vot-ing her in as one of the team’s three captains.“(Her teammates) know she’s always there for

them,” Mott said. “And that she’s going to work her tail off to do the best she can whenever she’s out on the field.”Jordan leads the Rebels in scoring this year and

has already tied her career high for goals in a season with six, including two game-winners. She scored the lone goal in the Middle Tennes-see State and TCU games and netted the game-winner in the furious comeback victory over McNeese State. In last Friday’s 3-0 win over rival Southern

Miss, she tied her career high for points in a game with two goals and an assist.“She’s always in and around the goal,” Mott

said. “She plays from box to box. She helps us defend, and then she does a really good job of getting in on the attack. She’s scored some big goals for us this year, and look forward to her scoring a lot more.”

SOCCER’S DYLAN JORDAN OFFENSIVE FORCE FOR REBELS BY AUSTIN MILLERThe Daily Mississippian

said. “We’ve got to be more fo-cused and we really gotta want it.” Shackelford said he realizes that

the mistakes on defense can’t continue if the Rebels want to turn their season around. “You can’t do that (get down

and make mistakes), this is the Southeastern Conference, it’s the best conference in America,” Shackelford said. “You do stuff like that and you’re asking to lose and get beat, and basically not by our words, but by our actions, we asked to get beat.”As Fresno State looms ahead,

Shackelford says it’s time to get back to the basics on defense if Ole Miss wants to be success-ful.“You win it in practice, but

you can win a lot of stuff in practice, but in the game you have to be very focused in,” Shackelford said. “This is my gap. I got to do what I got to do on this play. Not nobody else’s job, I got to do my job on every play.”
