Ole Miss formals are normally exclusive and only for certain groups of students to attend, but Everybody’s Formal is the first formal at Ole Miss that is open to everyone. Everybody’s Formal will be held from 9 to 11:30 p.m. on Friday night, the day before the Ole Miss homecoming football game against the University of Memphis. Tickets are free and can be picked up at the Student Union Box Office. Ole Miss Associated Student Body President Austin Powell said his mother actually played a part in the inspiration for the event. “She wasn’t a part of any type of Greek organization or anything like that (and) never had the experience,” Powell said. “Just from that conversation, I started thinking about PHOTOS BY: ARIEL COBBERT what ASB could do to conStudents in Asmaa Taha’s Arabic 111 class practiced writing the language using sidewalk chalk outside of the library Wednesday afternoon.

Pharmacy leads research in marijuana, other plants

For nearly 50 years, Ole Miss’ prestigious marijuana research program has overshadowed the other medicinal plant research at the university. While there are no marijuana plants at the Maynard W. Quimby Medicinal Plant Garden, lead horticulturist Ed Lowe said he is excited about what’s growing behind its gates. “All of our plants have something unique about them, and I like that,” Lowe said. “We can continuously learn more about them,” Lowe said. The Medicinal Plant Garden has more than 1,000 seed bank entries in its new location. In 2011,
the garden moved just down the road to a newly built Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design “Silver” Certified facility. The LEED program recognizes energy efficient buildings nationally, and the garden was one of the university’s first LEED certified buildings, all according to Lowe. Ole Miss was the only institution in the country with a federal license to grow and study marijuana. The fenced-in compound next door now holds a population of bitter gourds and stevia. Lowe worked with the marijuana research project for three years before the university stopped harvesting the crop in the medicinal garden in 2007. Lowe manages the greenhouse and fields at the Medicinal Plant Garden, where hundreds of dif-
ferent plant species grow under his watch. Researchers are studying the newer plants to find out which of their chemicals could be used medicinally, which was the driving force behind the school’s marijuana research as well. “We’ve been very lucky here,” Lowe said. “We harvested all of the trees that were on the land before we came, and we also harvest rainwater.” The school’s Coy W. Waller Laboratory Complex on the campus of the University of Mississippi is the only legal marijuana farm and production facility in the United States. The plants are studied for the chemicals in medical pot that can help treat epilep-

It is time marijuana is legalized across the country
DYLAN BRISTER
thedmopinion@gmail.com
Think about two substances. One is responsible for 2,200 deaths per year in America from overdoses. The other is responsible for none. Now, which one do you
think is illegal? If you guessed the one that is responsible for an average of six overdose deaths per day, you would be wrong. The first one is alcohol, and that statistic is for overdose and alcohol poisoning alone. Alcohol-related deaths account for an average of 88,000 lives annually. What about the one that has never caused an overdose death? That is marijuana, and it is federally illegal. Not only is it illegal, it is a Schedule I substance. This means it is considered to be as dangerous as drugs such as LSD and heroin. Recently, it has been brought to light that marijuana is not as bad for you as

once previously thought. It is nearly impossible to overdose on it, which cannot be said for any other Schedule I drugs, or even alcohol and prescription medication, which are legal. It is less harmful to your body than alcohol, cigarettes and basically any other drug. A study showed that it even impairs your driving about seven times less than when under the influence of alcohol. Not only is it not as harmful as we thought, it is actually helpful to people. Medical marijuana is legal in 23 states, and helps patients with things like anxiety, nausea and chronic pain. It is not a wonder medicine or a prescription drug, but it

had more than positive reviews from users who wanted help with their medical issues. Medicinal purposes are not, however, the only way that cannabis is beneficial. In recreationally legal states, it produces a formidable amount of money in tax revenue. The first two states to legalize, Washington and Colorado, have exceeded expectations in tax dollars brought in. It is predicted that if the growth of the market continues, the states could produce upwards of $5 billion, and if all states follow suit, an estimated $45 billion could be generated off of marijuana sales alone.

whenever you get the chance, but it logically makes no sense to keep it illegal, let alone on the same level of strictness as heroin. People who want to utilize it for its benefits, as well as those who just want to partake recreationally, should be able to do so without the risk of legal consequences. It is less dangerous than already legal substances, can bring a substantial amount of tax revenue and will reduce crime rates. We should learn from other municipalities, states and countries and legalize the sale of marijuana. Dylan Brister is a sophomore economics major from Gulfport.

tic seizures. Lowe said marijuana could not be grown with the rest of the plants in the medicinal garden, so it is researching the possible health benefits of bitter gourds and stevia. Stevia, an herbal sugar substitute, is being studied at multiple universities, including North Carolina State University and Cornell University, for its blood sugar effects among other uses. Also, bitter gourd is being studied at universities to improve cancer treatment. Lowe and his team have been working with Green Fund on a large-scale composting program. Student interns and garden staff use leftover food from all over campus to make compost behind the Medicinal Plant Garden’s greenhouses. Junior integrated marketing communications major Angie Jordan is a student intern with the compost program. She works with a four-person team to make compost they later donate to the university’s garden club or sell to locals. “We are reducing harmful methane gas emissions from landfills,” Jordan said. “But also it is important to educate students here about different sustainable practices.” In addition to assisting Green Fund’s compost program, the Medicinal Plant Garden also runs a garden through the Oxford Community Garden. Lowe said his team grabs plants like cucumbers that grow wildly around Oxford and move them to the community garden. Ole Miss students come by and help with the garden all the time. The university’s marijuana research monopoly supplies the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s Drug Supply Program. NIDA sends Ole Miss’ marijuana to researchers across the country to study their negative and beneficial effects. Ole Miss’ $68.7 million contract was renewed with NIDA this spring, which solidifies the university as one of the leading weed suppliers in America. Even with all of the Medicinal Plant Garden’s new programs, Lowe says he still has trouble separating his office from the marijuana growing stories. “Everywhere I go, they think it’s marijuana,” Lowe said. “When I tell them what we do, they look at me like, ‘huh’?”
About 41 percent of Ole Miss students participate in Greek life, which used to exclude roughly 59 percent of the student body from participating in formals, according to the Ole Miss office of admissions. “We went through all the possible places where we could have the most amount of students come,” Powell said. “They knew the Jefferson was new so they thought this would be a perfect opportunity to get people interested in the Jefferson, particularly at the university.” The formal will be held at the Jefferson Oxford, an elegant 18,000-square-foot venue roughly 5 miles from the Square. Buses will run from the Jackson Avenue Center to take students to the venue. Students will be able to park in the commuter or park-nride spots.

Landon Chapman thrives at Miss America internship ETHAN DAVIS
thedmfeatures@gmail.com
Some people are born entertainers. They seem to have an inner light and natural ability to shine that makes others feel comfortable and free to be themselves. They love getting laughs and turning any given moment into an experience worth remembering. Sophomore Landon Chapman is that kind of person. You may know him from his presence on social media as #LandontheIntern. He recently interned for two weeks at the Miss America organization, and in that short period of time, everyone there couldn’t help but love him. “It feels like I was living two weeks in an alternate universe,” Chapman said. “I went there as a regular intern, just expecting to do regular PR internship work. I got there, and all the contestants are a similar age to me; they’re college students, and we just kind of clicked. We just became friends, all 52 two of them [contestants] and me.” Chapman made his mark on the competition while performing a Shania Twain song for the contestants. When host for the preliminaries Dena Blizzard found out, she brought him on
stage. Chapman’s unique brand formed. Soon after, he took over the Miss America social media accounts and had a minor host role for the three nights of the preliminary competition. “I would walk out of Boardwalk Hall [in Atlantic City], where competitions were held, and people would run up to me asking for pictures,” Chapman said. “I was so overwhelmed. It was just the craziest experience. The contestants were beyond anything I could ever imagine and so was the entire experience.” Chapman’s internship was made possible by support from Ole Miss graduates Mary and Sam Haskell. Chapman received the Ole Miss Women’s Council Scholarship of which Mary is the chair. Sam, her husband, is the former worldwide head of television for the William Morris Agency and is currently President of Miss America. The couple took Chapman under their wing, providing him with an internship, but Chapman’s vibrancy is what drew people to him. He says that he’s still not sure how it all happened, but his friends say, “It’s because he’s Landon.” “Landon is one of those people that you know you can unapologetically yourself with
him because he is so himself with you,” friend and senior Lindsay Miller said. “He’s unashamed of every single part of himself. He’s just one of those people that makes others feel special because he realizes his own worth.” Chapman claims his personality has always been too much for Mississippi to handle. He’s been performing for people since he was a kid and never let anything stand in his way. “I remember as a kid growing up, I would perform. There was one occasion in particular: It was a Halloween bash, and there was karaoke. I was in first grade, and I sang “Honey, I’m Home” by Shania Twain in front of the whole town.” As an integrated marketing communications major, Chapman’s dream job is to be an entertainment broadcast journalist for an outlet like E! News. However, he knows the import-

ant thing in life is to focus on the good. “You have to wake up every day and choose joy,” Chapman said. “No matter what’s going on in your life, you have the opportunity to choose joy. Furthermore, every interaction you have with someone, they remember. So, no matter how
big or small your interaction with that person is, you leave an impact on them. I always try to be authentic and joyful and leave a positive impact on people.” Mr. Ole Miss, Cole Putman, is close friends with Chapman, as the two are both from Rankin County. Putman knows Chapman will continue to makes others happy. “He [Chapman] is the best,” Putman said. “He is Rankin County raised, and he makes me so proud. I know that I have to leave this university in May, and I am happy Landon will continue his legacy when I’m gone.” Chapman is highly involved in clubs and organizations, including the Student Activities Association, so don’t be surprised if you see him dancing to or singing a Shania Twain song somewhere on campus. In fact, feel free to sing along.

Student-athletes are people too, treat them as such COLUMN
MATT BARNTHOUSE
thedmsports@gmail.com
Student-athletes are people too. This shouldn’t come to a surprise to anybody, yet for some reason it needs to be said. It is abhorrent the way a lot of fans treat student-athletes, particularly on social media. There are so many times that Twitter feeds from fans are filled with “I hate Chad Kelly” after he throws an interception. They’re more than likely the same people that line up hours in advance to give them a high-five on a Grove Saturday. It’s easy to be mean behind the screen of a cell phone or a computer. It makes it seem less personal. However, people read that. Players read that. Players’ families, friends and significant others read that. One tweet has the power to really hurt a large group of people. Some may argue that’s the price
for putting on a jersey. Playing a sport means that one should expect that kind of hate. It is true that playing a sport makes one subject to public criticism, but there is a line. There is no price that one can pay to take away human dignity. Feel free to criticize on-field play. That is fair game. However, when a team’s own fans resort to personal attacks, it goes too far. If sports mean so much to somebody, that one’s opinion on a person and mood for the day, completely resides on a college student’s performance on the field, then it is time to reevaluate one’s priorities. There are so many things more important in life than whether the Rebels win or lose. It should not affect somebody so much that they write hate mail or hate tweets to players. On a list of priorities, the outcome of a college sporting event should be fairly down the list. Sports can be great because they
bring so many people together. Unfortunately, the dark side is that people with no control over the outcome get so worked up about the final score that they decide that letting the players know how much they “hate them” is a splendid idea. Ole Miss is not the only school where this type of hatred happens. There are stories of basketball players transferring because they got death threats from fans following a few bad games. This is insane. Student-athletes are human beings. They aren’t robots that solely exist to play a game. It’s important to remember that just because they are public figures does not mean it’s okay to take human dignity away from them. Not to mention, is letting a student-athlete know that random person with egg avatar on Twitter hates him productive? No. It doesn’t help make the student-athlete improve on his game. It will not change the outcome of
future events. All it does is spread more negativity in a world that has already reached its quota. This isn’t just about being nice to athletes. This is a soul issue. There is something wrong with the soul if one’s happiness is defined by the actions of 18- to 22-year-old college students. It’s time for a reality check for fan bases everywhere. Treat student-athletes like the humans they are, not a commodity that only exists to play a sport. Win or lose, remember to treat people with dignity. Matt Barnthouse is a journalism major from Carmel, Indiana.

Rebels’ offensive line coming together at the right time CODY THOMASON
thedmsports@gmail.com
Last week was a good one for the Ole Miss offensive line. The big men up front paved the way for 510 total yards of offense and showed significant improvement in protecting quarterback Chad Kelly, who threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 53 yards and another score. Sophomore Sean Rawlings said he felt the offensive line’s effort was the biggest improvement made on Saturday. “We had those two sick feelings in our stomach from Bama and Florida State, so we were ready to go,” Rawlings said. “We stressed all week high energy and I think everybody did that. And I think

that was the difference, having that energy up for all four quarters.” The starting guard, sophomore Jordan Sims, was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his part in the 45-14 victory over Georgia. Rawlings started over half of the season last year in relief of the suspended Laremy Tunsil, and has started at the right tackle spot in each of the first four games. With plenty of SEC experience, Rawlings now rotates at right tackle and center throughout the game. “I feel like I’ve grown, and that’s because of experience,” Rawlings said. “That experience has helped me out a lot, and I feel like collectively as an offensive line we’re starting to get this thing rolling and executing together and we’ve always communicated well because we’re so close and we can continue to get better at that.” Rawlings felt his experience helped a lot in terms of the speed of the game. “At the end of last year it really started slowing down, but I’m
starting to see more and more and every game,” Rawlings said. The lone senior starter on the line is Robert Conyers, who spends most of his time at center but
can also move out to tackle. Rawlings felt that Conyers’ experience made him the obvious leader of the group. “I think Robert brings a lot of leader-

ship, a lot of motivation to us and energy,” Rawlings said. “I think that me, Jordan and Javon (Patterson), because of the experience last year, we’re starting to get molded into that leadership role.” Redshirt freshman Alex Givens got a lot of playing time against the Bulldogs, and Rawlings said he performed great in the SEC matchup. “He’s going to be a heck of a player,” Rawlings said. “In the rotation you saw Saturday, Alex got a lot of snaps. He even got more snaps than me at right tackle, and he played great. He’s going to be really good and he’ll be here another three years after this one.” The Rebels take on Memphis this Saturday, and Rawlings was eager for the chance to battle the Tigers again after last year’s upset. “That one hurt us, and it kind of affected our season, but we’ve moved on from that,” Rawlings said. “We’re just ready to go out there and play another game Saturday and do the same thing we did this past Saturday. That’s give great effort and great energy.”

Practice report: Freeze unhappy with attention to detail BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Wednesday was not Ole Miss’ best day of practice, and Head Coach Hugh Freeze made that clear after it ended. “I’m going to be honest: I expected a lot more today,” Freeze said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do before we play.” While he noted that his displeasure ranged from a number of different things, attention to detail was something that sorely stuck out. “It was like pulling teeth for me to get the coaches to do their job with urgency and the kids. It was just not a good day,” Freeze said. He noted that Tuesday was a good day and his concern was isolated to today’s practice. Ole Miss has played three ranked teams in four weeks in what has been a trying month of September, and that could contribute to the lack of energy, but it is certainly not a justifiable reason, according to Freeze. “You can’t use excuses in this game, but yeah it is a concern, but you have to go out and execute and we didn’t today,” Freeze said. Here are some other notable things from Wednesday’s practice Notes: • Carlos Davis and Montrell Custis both practiced today after suffering stingers in the win against Georgia. Freeze said on Monday he didn’t expected them to miss much time and confirmed on Wednesday that they will be

RIGHT: Head Coach Hugh Freeze speaks at a press conference earlier this season. ready to go for Memphis. • Freeze said on his weekly SEC coaches teleconference that he has had more involvement on the defensive side of the football than he has in years past. “I didn’t think we were playing well,” Freeze said. “Ultimately the responsibility goes through the coaches to me, and if I can assist in some way then I want to, and I know I can assist in getting kids to do their job on every play and I think we have made improvement in the past few weeks.” This stems in part from the youth on the Ole Miss defense. Freeze said there is no replace-
ment for experience and his young defense doesn’t have much. • The Ole Miss secondary is where a lot of its youth resides. Freshmen like Deontay Anderson, Jalen Julios, Jaylon Jones and Myles Hartsfield, among others, have played a lot of snaps and took their lumps in the opener at Florida State. The unit has improved as it has gained more experience, and it his shown in the last two games. “We didn’t give up explosive plays in the pass game, last week at zero and the week before there was very few,” Freeze said. “So there has been some improve-
ment there, but we are about to face a difficult team this week and will be tested again.” • Ole Miss has one of the deepest receiving corps in the country, but it will face a solid group of its own in Memphis this week. The Tigers have a deep group at receiver and they’ve been a pivotal reason as to why Memphis has scored 155 points in three games. “They’re playing very good and are playing some kids that have had a lot of success,” Freeze said. “They haven’t been challenged a lot yet, so they probably have some things they haven’t even shown yet because they haven’t
had to. We will see it all this week I’m sure.” • This will be the first night game for the Rebels in the newly renovated Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Freeze said his team relishes the chance to play under the lights at home. “We are excited to play a night game in our home stadium,” Freeze said. “I’m hopeful that our people will take pride in Saturday night here and making it a difficult place to play.” Kickoff between Ole Miss and Memphis is set for Saturday at 6 p.m.
