ROTC holds annual 9/11 Memorial Run MARY VIRGINIA PORTERA

The University of Mississippi ROTC hosted its annual Memorial Run this morning in honor of all of the victims of the 9/11 attacks in 2001. The run began in front of the Lyceum at 6 a.m. and was led by cadets of the University of Mississippi ROTC. The run was not a race but rather a way to reflect and honor the fallen and those affected by 9/11. Army Master Sgt. Hayes, senior military instructor for the ROTC, spoke of the purpose of this tradition. “The University of Mississippi has a tradition of pa-

from the actions of 9/11, and we want everybody to take part and recognize that people were impacted by these
events.” All of the participants of the race remain behind the cadets as they run, which reiterates the meaning behind this event. “More or less, the run is not a race or a competitive event,” Master Sgt. Hayes added. “It is a run that anyone can join, and it is a personal run as well. It means something.” The race has a deep and impactful meaning to Chase Pinson, cadet battalion commander of the UM Army ROTC. “It’s an honor to participate, and I personally find that it always serves to refocus me on what is really important,”

The most recent Ole Miss freshman class is the largest in school history with 3,814 students, according to an Ole Miss Public Relations release that went out Wednesday. The previous freshman class had 3,582 students, making this growth an increase of 6.5 percent from the previous year. Not only is this the largest freshman class in school history, it’s also the highest overall scoring on the ACT and has the highest overall GPA. This freshman class has an average ACT score of 24.3, up from the average score of 24.1 from last fall. The average GPA of the freshman class is 3.49, up from the previous falls average of 3.46. Both of these numbers have been steadily increasing since 2010. The freshman class also includes 57 class valedictorians, 52 salutatorians, 73 student body presidents, 83 Eagle Scouts and 10 Girl Scouts who achieved the Gold Award. Chancellor Dan Jones saw the numbers as a sign of students recognizing the success of The University of Mississippi. “We are very pleased that students and families across Mississippi and throughout America continue to recognize the quality education and outstanding college experience we offer at The University of Mississippi, all at a very competitive price,” said Jones in the press release. “Our faculty and staff work very hard to deliver the very best academic programs for the students, and it’s truly rewarding to see those efforts being acknowledged with extraordinary interest in attending our university.” Recent incoming freshman classes have continued to top the previous classes numbers. When asked what he felt was behind the trend in freshman class size growth, Director of Public Relations Danny Blanton found multiple examples. “One major draw are the exceptional programs offered here,” Blanton said. “In ad-

Putin on a case ALEX BORST
alexanderborst94@gmail.com
As people who are the product of Western rhetoric and media, it is difficult for us to see the world through a non-Western lens. Russia has existed for the past 25 years as only a shadow of its former self, having lost its ideological empire and much of its ability to exert power abroad. This is an exit from the powerful stature that Russia has held since the late 1930s and has left the country confused as to what it means to be Russian. This idea of the new Russian identity is important to consider when analyzing the current conflict between Russia and the Ukraine. As the Ukrainian crisis continues to develop, Russian President Vladimir Putin has increasingly become the target of international criticism. This criticism is certainly warranted, the Putin administration having violated Ukrainian national sovereignty through the annexation of Crimea and through its direct support of Ukrainian T H E D A I LY

separatists in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. Although sanctions and NATO action should continue and are validated given the numerous international treatises and mandates that this administration has broken, I would venture to say Putin is still one of the most dynamic and strategic leaders since the breakdown of the Soviet Bloc. This may seem like a controversial view when looking at the Kremlin’s many provocations towards Western nations over the past few years, Putin having also bolstered the Assad regime in Syria and furthered a civil war in which 200,000 people have already died. After all of these missteps and acts worthy of imprisonment, why does a man who does everything wrong by Western standards continue to be seen as the champion of Russia? While the Russian economy and international standing have both taken large hits due to the invasion of Ukraine, polls have shown
that Putin’s approval rating is hovering just above 80 percent, about 15-20 percentage points higher than before the conflict began. Putin represents a revitalized Russia at the cost of some freedoms and liberties. State censorship, human rights abuses and militaristic police abuses have been at the forefront of Western media in past years, but President Putin’s poll numbers still rise. It may be an innate quality of Russian people that attracts them to the idea that Russia is still destined for greatness, no matter the time period of geopolitical situation. It could also be that remnants of the Soviet mindset that held the Russian people captive for over 70 years have been reintroduced through the Ukrainian conflict, stirring up past images of former global dominance and emotionally validating many of the actions the Putin administration has carried out. A good leader protects his own no matter what, and although the repercussions of Russia’s actions

in Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere have been negative overall, everything the Putin administration has done has been for the revitalization of Russia, at least in the eyes of the Kremlin. The annexation of resource-heavy Crimea was a move to gain territory and proclaim dominance while the buildup of natural gas reserves has left much of Europe at the mercy of Russian gas exports and prices. Every move Putin makes is strategic. Whether we understand or agree with this strategy is irrelevant when looking at Russia with a survival-of-the-fittest mentality. One thing is for certain, although Russia has already been the focus of much controversy in recent years, the Kremlin will continue to throw curveballs at the international community as long as its present administration retains power.

Grammy winner Lewis performs at Ford Center tonight SARA KIPARIZOSKA

World-renowned American jazz legend Ramsey Lewis will be in Oxford tonight to perform his special show titled “A Few Words and Music from Ramsey Lewis.” The show includes a solo music performance by Lewis as well as a Q&A portion with the audience. With three Grammy awards, seven gold records and over 80 albums under his belt, Lewis will be sure to leave a lasting impression on any music fan. Debuting his first conversation show at the Ravinia Music Festival in Chicago earlier this summer, Lewis is offering Mississippi fans a fresh and unique performance. “It’s a very cool experience,” Lewis’ manager Brett Steele said. The show, written by Chicago author and playwright Jack Zimmerman, will offer audiences an evening of the world’s greatest jazz as well as a chance to learn about Ramsey’s experiences firsthand. “The show is a way Ramsey tells his story and the questions from the audience evolve the conversation,” Steele said. The audience is encouraged to engage in conversation and discuss important and controversial topics. “As I travel this great country, I’m often asked my thought not only on music but social and political issues- both which are very important to me,” Lewis said. “I believe I have a unique perspective as a result of the worldly experience my profession has given me.” Joseph Deiermann, current sophomore piano performance and electrical engineering major at The University of Mississippi,
Stay Tuned In
is excited about Ramsey’s visit to Oxford. “I think it’s great that he is coming here, he will bring a lot of culture to this area,” Deiermann said. “He is a legend.” Deiermann considered Ramsey to be “very appealing to modern jazz audiences.” After completion of his “A Few Words and Music” tour, Ramsey has no plans of slowing down. Within the next year, Ramsey will continue to tour with performances with Earth, Wind & Fire’s Philip Bailey and a Nat King Cole Tribute Show. Later this year, Ramsey will drop a new record called “Taking Another Look - Deluxe Edition.” This is bound to be another big year for Ramsey as he celebrates the 50th anniversary of his two classic records “The In Crowd” and “Hang on Ramsey.”
Ramsey’s management says jazz fans should be watching out for other undisclosed recording projects as well. “He is very active. I hope I have as much energy at 79,” Steele said. The Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts is excited to offer such a world class performance to the Oxford community. Kate Meachem, marketing director of the Ford Center, described Lewis’ upcoming performance as a “pure evening of music.” The performance begins at 7:30 p.m in the Ford Center. Tickets are available at the UM box office, by calling (662) 9157411, or by visiting fordcenter. org. General admission tickets are $17 and reserved seating is $23. Faculty and students of the university receive special prices.

David Nail kicks off tour at The Lyric tonight MCKENNA WEIRMAN
mckenna.weirman@yahoo.com
David Nail is starting a fire today at The Lyric Oxford. The country music sensation is gearing up to kick off his “I’m a Fire” tour here at the heart of Rebel Nation. When The Lyric’s doors open at 7:30 tonight, Nail will launch a tour featuring songs on his new album, also titled “I’m A Fire,” including top hit “Whatever She Got” as well as the emotional ballad “Kiss You Tonight.” “My wife went to Ole Miss,” Nail said, who follows the university closely and is familiar with Oxford. “I can’t think of a better place to start things off.” Nail said Oxford was one of the very first places he and his band played back when they were starting out. It’s been a long time since Nail has played
in town, but he is excited to come back and see how things have picked up since his last show. “Hopefully the crowd’s a little bigger,” Nail joked. Not that Nail would have reason to think otherwise. Nail received a Grammy nomination for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 2011, and over the last few years has produced major hits, including “Whatever She’s Got” which made platinum before his album was released. “Whatever She’s Got has been huge for us,” Nail said. “This year is the busiest we’ve ever been.” Despite having played for the majority of the year, Nail isn’t ready to slow down. “This is kind of when we like to close out with a bang,” Nail said. “We’ve got some new
things we’ve been working on set wise and production wise.” Needless to say, this will be one concert no one is going to want to miss. It seems only fitting Nail should be kicking off his tour in Oxford, a town he says he has plenty of good memories in, when many would say his music brings back the past. What separates Nail from many other artists is his uncanny ability to connect personally in essentially every one of his songs. His songs are touching, catchy and sung with a kind of honest vulnerability that just isn’t seen in an artist every day. “Can I see myself singing this song in ten, fifteen, twenty years?” Nail asked himself when considering new music. “I think that subconsciously that’s always something you have in

sic its character. For Nail, songs have soul attached to them; they come to life again every time he performs them. Nail is far more than just a champion for broken hearts in his music. With songs like “Whatever She Got” and the undeniably catchy “I’m A Fire” off his new album, Nail has an unrivaled ability to produce not only relatable country music, but music which connects to a listener on different emotional levels. “His songs are the kind of songs that are relatable,” said Taylor Cook, integrated marketing communications major and avid Nail fan. “They’re emotional.” Nail seemed to agree his music has a little something everyone can connect to. “I think more than anything they are songs people are drawn to and people can identify with.” Country music fans will recognize Nail as the voice behind several noteworthy tracks such as “Let it Rain,” “Turning Home” and the instant classic “Red Light.” But the I’m a Fire tour won’t be quite like the David Nail some may have known from the past. Though his smooth vocals and rhythm will be the same, “I’m a Fire” takes on a slightly different flavor than some of Nail’s work in the past. “I try not to ever have a plan,” Nail said. “I think that with this record it is a lot more upbeat and a little more positive lyrically, but at the end of the day when we recorded this record those were the songs I was drawn to.” “I’m a Fire” is successful in carrying on Nail’s tradition of providing songs that hit home, but this time with a different kind of impact; one that brings a little Southern comfort. Audience members can sit back, relax, sing along to their favorite songs and take a nice drive down memory lane. “I hope at the end of the day I just keep recording good songs and people keep gravitating towards them,” Nail said.

How did Future change rap? jlboyd3@go.olemiss.edu
Rappers sing more than they rap these days. Often thought of as spoken word set to music, rap culture has long championed tight rhyme structures that very rarely allow for vocal complexity. Although the golden age of hip-hop is comprised of pioneers who bent the laws of proper emceeing, using melody as a tool to engage listeners beyond lyrics, in most of those instances singalong song structure is more of a gimmick than a mainstay of that particular rapper’s repertoire. If anyone wanted to plead the case that rappers shouldn’t sing Biz Markie’s off-kilter and off-key 1989 single, “Just a Friend,” could likely serve as pretty damning evidence. Even as the record peaked at No. 9 in the Billboard Hot 100, it has landed Biz on “one hit wonder” lists and remains viewed as a parody of its source material, Freddie Scott’s “You Got What I Need?” As complicated as rap’s relationship with melody may be, rap radio in 2014 is almost entirely comprised of songs that incorporate melodious songwriting, applied to rough subject matter. These songs aren’t straightforward R&B records. They rely subtly on infectious hooks and refrains while almost completely undermining the importance of metaphors and punchlines that once reigned as signifiers of rap mastery. The list of subscribers to this style of street rap is could stretch for miles, from underground acts to forerunners of the industry like Young Thug, Kevin Gates and K Camp. However, this trend in music didn’t come from nowhere. Each of these artists owes their success to a particular stylistic father: Future. In 2011, Future made his debut to most of the rap world as the featured artist on YC’s hit single “Racks.” Sonny Digital, the producer of the song, removes the drums mid-way through the second verse to
Drake tacked on a verse, giving the record a boost in popularity nationwide. “Champagne spilling, crab cakes everywhere,” Future raps in one verse, belting out his boasts mightily. With a slew of mixtape hits like “Magic,” “Same Damn Time” and “Gone to the Moon,” Future seemed to be able to do no wrong as he entered 2012. Under the guidance of label boss, Rocko, Future released “Pluto,” his debut album in April of that year. At the end of April, “Cashin’ Out,” a brand new song begin to get spins on Southern radio playlists that closely followed the format popular in Future’s underground hits. The lyrics were catchy and the street drug references were plentiful, but implicitly hidden within clever slang and euphemisms. The artist’s voice even sound-
make way for Future’s chant of, “Bravo, bravo, bravo.” It’s the most memorable moment in the summertime smash, but it did not serve as the last time Future stole YC’s shine. In the following months, Future appeared in interviews claiming he wrote the entire record. Though the details of whether or not YC composed his own lyrics are fuzzy, it is true that the record is built from “Getting It In,” a song that appeared on Future’s “Kno Mercy” mixtape. The controversy surrounding “Racks” gained momentum for Future’s debut solo single “Tony Montana,” a song that encapsulates all of the bravado of the drug kingpin character it is named after. Serving as a testament to it’s success in southern markets, early in the radio rotation of the song

both in the past year. Some artists have taken to the popular adage, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Ace Hood enlisted Future for the chorus of “Bugatti” in early 2013. The song revived Ace Hood’s career, as his star was beginning to dwindle after quite some time without output. Beyoncé’s smash “Drunk in Love” was constructed from “Good Morning,” a song left over from the sessions for Future’s second album, “Honest.” Future explains his success best through song. On the “Chosen One” with Rocko, he channels his down-home roots to sing with a gospel-tinged edge, “When you make it from the bottom, you’re the chosen one.” It appears as if he was divinely chosen to change the game.

ed similar to the Atlanta-based rapper as he sang “Riding with a girl named Keisha, blowing on Keisha.” The artist attributed to the song, though, was Cash-Out. This was the first in a large catalog of artists and songs directly imitating the popular, spaced-out, trap bounce becoming popular due to Future’s success. Rich Homie Quan’s “Some Type of Way” raised enough eyebrows in 2013 for DJs to ask both artists what they thought about the similarities between them. Some labels seem to have been searching for artists who utilize the technique of blending rap with raw emotion in the manner that Future has accomplished with French Montana’s Coke Boys acquiring Lil’ Durk and Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang picking up Ty Dolla $ign

Pinson said. Although running behind trained cadets may seem intimidating to someone not affiliated with the ROTC, Hayes wanted the race to be something that involved the entire Ole Miss community. “My hope is that everybody takes part and recognizes that real people were impacted by the events of 9/11,” Hayes said. “We have tried to get the school and office community on board as well as to involve as many people as possible.” Pinson reiterated the ROTC’s hope to make this memorial run a community event. “Not only does it allow us to pay tribute to those who were killed, but we are able to reach out to the community,” Pinson said. “It gives us a chance to invite people to come be a part of something a little big-

ger than themselves.” The cadets take time away from their training schedule to participate in this event, according to Pinson, and urge the Ole Miss community to do so as well. Shannon Deloach, junior journalism major, participated in the run last year. “It was awesome to honor all the men and women who lost their lives that day,” Deloach said. “Running two miles is nothing compared to what they went through but it’s still a great feeling knowing you are giving a little bit of yourself to remember how much they gave for us.” “More than anything, it’s about remembering those who died,” Pinson said. “9/11 marked the beginning of what has come to define our generation, and whatever your views may be, there’s something very special about coming together and reminding people that we’re not going to forget.”

terback besides Wallace against Boise State, as he had special packages made for him. Buchanan got the majority of snaps for a backup quarterback Saturday against Vanderbilt. In the first appearance of his career, he felt confident. “I felt great. It was something I was looking forward to. Something I’ve had on my mind for a long time,” Buchanan said. “If we went up in the Vandy game, I knew I might get my chance. Fortunately, I got my chance and made the most of it.” Buchanan showed the poise and confidence of a starting quarterback when he led the offense for a touchdown in his first possession. At the same time, Buchanan feels there is more to improve on. “I was satisfied that I drove the ball and that I got down near the end zone, but I’m not completely satisfied,” Buchanan said. “I know there is some stuff I can improve on. I have to correct on that and get ready for this week.” There are not a lot of opportunities when it comes to being a backup. Every opportunity that someone back on the depth chart gets, they have to make the most

of it. Buchanan knows his role and understands what he needs to do in order to thrive in his role. “That’s huge, especially in being a backup position when you’re fighting for a position you don’t get many opportunities just to get in games and in games like these I just got to try and make the most of it,” he said. Most people get nervous when it comes to playing in your first college football game. Buchanan thanks the Ole Miss defense for helping him prepare for his first game appearance. “I felt pretty good. Going against our defense so much and our defense knows so much of our stuff because we go against them so much,” Buchanan said. “Going against an opponent for the first time, it honestly felt a lot easier. Our defense is so fast and going against them really helped me.” The game this Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette should offer another opportunity for Buchanan and the other quarterbacks to get some playing time and establish themselves on the depth chart. “That’s Coach Freeze’s decision. We’ll see,” Buchanan said about how much he’ll play Saturday. “If we go up, whether he puts me or Kincade in, it doesn’t really matter. If I get my opportunity, I’ll make the most of it.”

Buchanan shows promise as Rebels’ backup quarterback DYLAN RUBINO
thedmsports@gmail.com
The question has been there since the beginning of fall camp. Who is the primary backup quarterback behind Bo Wallace? Redshirt freshman Ryan Buchanan may have made his case for the backup job against Vanderbilt. Buchanan completed 4 of 7 passes for 38 yards and picked up 18 yards rushing on the ground from two carries. He led the Rebels to a touchdown on his first drive of the game in the third quarter and seemed to have command of the offense from the time he stepped on the field. It was his first SEC game and appearance of his career. Head coach Hugh Freeze saw potential in Buchanan. “Ryan looked very, very comfortable,” Freeze said. “He didn’t looked rattled at all for his first SEC game, did some things that don’t come natural. They came natural to him.” Buchanan and redshirt freshman DeVante Kincade are both potential candidates to replace Bo Wallace as the starting quarterback for the 2015 season. Kincade was the only other quar-
