ozens of people filled the grounds of Rowan Oak on Saturday to investigate how slaves lived when Oxford was first settled. An archaeology class teamed with the university’s Slavery Research Group to look into the association between the founding of the university and slavery. Tony Boudreaux, associate professor of anthropology and director of the center for archaeological research, is co-teaching the archaeology course with anthropology professor Maureen Meyers. “We’re trying to put students out into the field, and also accomplish the research goals of the research group,” Boudreaux said. “The course is aimed at giving students the experience of

Late Razorback touchdown dooms the Ole Miss Rebels BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com

The pain and stinging prickle of defeat spread across the face of Head Coach Hugh Freeze as he sat in a small room outside of the visiting locker room at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback stadium, the site of Ole Miss’ third straight defeat to Arkansas, this one by a score of 34-30. “It stings,” Freeze said. “It hurts. Give credit to them, but we certainly leave here feeling like we let one get away.” Ole Miss did let one get away. Victory slipped from its hands in the waining minutes of the fourth quarter as Arkansas marched 56 yards, getting a third down and

fourth down conversion before a Jared Cornelius 6-yard touchdown rush put the Razorbacks ahead for one final time with 2:20 remaining in the game. Ole Miss struggled to defend the run in the first half, yielding 141 yards on the ground in the first half alone. “I thought they knocked us off the ball and had a lot of success running it in the first half,” Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack said. “I thought we did a better job of taking away the run of the second half, but it is disappointing. We’ve got to learn how to get better each week as player, as a coach. Anything

Ignorance is not bliss in modern society

DYLAN BRISTER

thedmopinion@gmail.com

A dangerous trend is developing in our society. I have seen arguments come about and end without either side actually explaining why they believe what they believe. Instead, ad hominem rebuttals and uninformed ignorance have taken a huge hold on intellectual conversation. With how connected the world

is now, finding information on any given topic is instant and easy. This does lead to some problems, however. People get most of their information from the internet, a place where bias is no stranger. People read an article and assume they are now educated, and when an argument arises, their word becomes law and the opposition is “stupid” for believing otherwise. In our information age, finding someone else’s take on a popular topic is easy. Finding our own take is seemingly much more difficult. Opinions and stories with skewed details are thrown into the faces of Americans endlessly through news, social media and even family members. This is especially dangerous, given the current social state of the country right now. Whether it be on the right or left, people have stopped looking for facts to find their own ideas,

and have instead taken a liking to reading and accepting others’ mindsets as their own. Ideologies passed down by parents, as well as misconstrued stories, dictate the opinions of young minds today, a period in which we need as many free thinking people as possible to ensure we can continue productively as a nation. This is harmful to educating the population as a whole. When people believe what they have heard is essentially law, they begin to assume any differing opinions are completely worthless, which is bad for both sides of any argument. On one hand, the person who refuses to hear the argument will not know the other side of the story, nor will they have the best possible understanding of their argument by seeing every angle. On the other, it affects the person with a differing view, as they are being told they are incorrect for

simply having a different opinion, and most of the time written off as unintelligent. The exchange of opposing ideas is crucial for educating current and future generations. Not only does it allow people to form their own educated opinion, it also creates a healthy opposition that sharpens each side’s arguments. The word “knowledge” must be taken back into context for the sake of educating future generations as well as mending the rift between the polar political parties. My understanding of knowledge is that you acquire it through experience, not other people. Society must understand this, and not allow others to take advantage of their own lack of thinking.

continued from page 1 interpreting archaeology to the public and also getting experience with real world job applications of some of the knowledge we’re learning in the classroom,” Boudreaux said. “We really want them to be prepared when they go into the job market to be able to encounter some of the tasks they associate with archaeology. So, we’ve designed the course to be in the classroom once a week, and then to be out here once a week.” Archaeology student Riley Anderson said there were originally at least nine slaves living on the Rowan Oak property. “The person who owned this property before Faulkner was Robert Sheegog, who lived about an hour away,” Anderson said. “He had about 70 slaves there, but, on this property specifically, he kept nine slaves; men, women and children. We’re not sure if there were more.” Anderson said the slaves lived in two structures on the Rowan Oak property. Sheegog leased the slaves he owned to the university to build on campus. “We’re out here looking for remnants of the structures they lived in, and those lives in general so we can make a connection between the university’s foundation and who helped build it,” Anderson said. “That’s not a script that gets talked about often. We usually only discuss those responsible for the establishment of those buildings, not the people who actually built it.” As the public looked on, the class surveyed the plot the ground at Rowan Oak to help them determine where to begin looking. “We’ve found some artifacts, but it’s harder to put them in a bigger context right now until we excavate a little more,” Boudreaux said. The class uncovered a number of nails, which would have been in buildings or fence posts, as well as some pottery shards, broken dishes and broken glass. Dalton Capps, an anthropology graduate student, said the research done on the property will eventually be submitted to the

Students will also present their findings to university administration in the future, Capps said. Capps said he believes recogniz-

ing the history of slavery on college campuses is an issue on more than just the Ole Miss campus. “I personally believe it’s a subject that goes under-appreciated and also under-represented as far as what we learn about the university, or things that we hear about on campus,” Capps said. “A lot of universities do a great job of representing the history of themselves, but tend to gloss over the issue of slavery.”

Neon Pig hosts Vivian Howard with new cookbook SAMANTHA WHITTLE

smwhittl@go.olemiss.edu

Vivian Howard, award winning chef and co-creator of PBS’ “A Chef’s Life,” wrote her first cookbook, “Deep Run Roots,” to share her hometown recipes and stories. Now, she is touring the nation with her new cookbook and a food truck not just to sign and present her book and stories but also to let patrons taste her food. She’ll be stopping at Neon Pig in Oxford Monday, sans food truck, to talk about stories and some of the foods in “Deep Run Roots.” “I go to Oxford once a year to the Southern Foodways Alliance symposium, and I am friends with the owners of Neon Pig, so it just seemed like a good place [for the signing],” Howard said. The cookbook includes 25 chapters, each about one specific ingredient. Howard said there are about five to 11 recipes in each chapter that show the traditional ways to use the ingredient. Then, she moves on to more modern recipes. Each chapter has a section called “Wisdom,” where Howard

shares what she learned while working with the ingredient. The final part of each chapter is Howard’s personal stories of how the ingredients relate to her life. Howard’s experience on television has allowed her to expand to this medium. “I always wanted to be a writer or journalist of some kind. And when we started airing the show, publishers started approaching me, so I had the opportunity to write a book,” Howard said. “More than a cookbook, I wanted it to be like a storybook.” Howard will be touring with “Deep Run Roots” throughout October and November. According to Howard, the limit of how many people can attend each signing is 200, but some signings have been oversold.

At most of the signing events, Howard pulls along a food truck to prepare her recipes for attendees. The food truck won’t make an appearance at the Neon Pig signing, but her food will still be served at the restaurant. After this run of her tour through the South and Southeast with the food truck, Howard will extend her tour outside of the South. Howard owns two restaurants in Kinston, North Carolina. Howard’s Boiler Room is an oyster bar and burger restaurant based on her childhood, and Chef and the Farmer is a “progressive eatery” based off the region’s ingredients and traditions – much like Howard’s cookbook. In Howard’s biography of the restaurant,

she said her hope in opening Chef and the Farmer would convince Eastern North Carolina tobacco farmers to become food farmers instead. Fittingly, like Howard’s need to share her hometown ingredients and recipes, Neon Pig also strives to

include local farmers and businesses in the restaurant as a way to benefit the community. Catch Howard at 5 p.m. on Monday. Tickets for the event are $50, including a copy of the cookbook and food at the event.

can happen. One play makes a difference in games like that and we have to find a way to overcome that.” After Ole Miss fell behind 17-6 by way of two Austin Allen touchdown passes and a field goal, the team garnered some momentum. It had drives of 67 and 90 yards that ended respectively on Akeem Judd and Chad Kelly touchdown rushes. Ole Miss headed into the locker room tied at 20. Kelly was 18-39 for 253 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He had 89 yards rushing as well. “We thought we were going to be able to do what we wanted to do and we did,” Kelly said. “We’ve just got to execute. That’s what it comes down to.” The fact of the matter is, Ole Miss didn’t execute well enough to win the game. Kelly completed less than 5o percent

fense kept it in the game. It gave them opportunities, and Ole Miss took advantage eventually. A Marquis Haynes interception sparked a 45yard drive resulting in Kelly’s second touchdown run, giving the Rebels a 30-27 lead with nine minutes remaining in the game. The defense held firm after that as well, but the offense couldn’t put its foot on the throat, and eventually the Rebels succumbed on the game’s penultimate drive to Allen and a Razorback offense that hung 429 yards of total offense. “I thought they played well enough to gives us a chance to win it and we never took control offensively,” Freeze said. Through all the back and fourth, the momentum changes and lead-changing hands, Ole Miss had a chance late. Down 34-30 with two minutes remaining, it had an opportunity to exorcise its demons against a team that had given it fits the last two years, but it sputtered to a halt after Kelly was stopped short of the line

of his passes. Drops plagued a receiving corps that has been a beaming light for this team. In one instance, Damor’ea Stringfellow and Van Jefferson had drops on second and third down that gave the ball back to the Razorbacks before they delivered their final punch. “It was quite surprising really,” Freeze said. “No one will feel worse about it than they do, and I know that they’ll come back to work. They happened at really critical times on critical drives.” Perhaps the one bright spot in that department was tight end Evan Engram, whose seven catches for 11 yards and a touchdown terrorized the Razorback defense in the middle of the field. “I’m just playing ball,” Engram said. “We needed a win tonight. That’s all I care about. I just show up and make plays for my team when I have to.” The pace and style shifted in the second half. Only seven points total were scored in the third quarter. Ole Miss got stops. The de-

Ole Miss offense slumps against Razorback defense

CODY THOMASON

thedmsports@gmail.com

Saturday’s loss to Arkansas marked the third game in a row the Rebels have dropped to the Razorbacks. While Ole Miss still put up 30 points, the Rebel offense had some surprising mistakes in the game, struggling with turnovers after improving in that area in the two previous game and struggling on some key conversions. “We made way too many mistakes,” Offensive coordinator Dan Werner said. “We didn’t play like the normal Rebel offense.” “We had a few bad throws, we had some drops, we had some poor calls, we probably should’ve stuck to the running game a little more,” Head Coach Hugh Freeze said. The Rebel receiving corps have been one of the bright spots of the Ole Miss team this year, but against Arkansas they struggled, dropping several passes from senior quarterback Chad Kelly. Freeze said the drops were quite surprising. “Uncharacteristic, critical drops changed the last two possessions,” Freeze said. “Those were critical and really hurt and that’s something we haven’t done a lot of this year.” Kelly was quick to shift the blame off of his receivers and look ahead to the improvements they could make in the passing game. “I have to put it in the right spot, regardless of whether it hits their hands or not, I have to put them in a good position to catch the ball,” Kelly said.

Ole Miss wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo runs downfield after a pass from quarterback Chad Kelly in Saturday’s game against Arkansas. “Losing hurts and all of those guys are hurting right now, we just have to come back and get on the same page and just build some momentum on the offensive side of the ball.” Werner was quick to point out the drops weren’t the only thing impeding the Rebels’ offensive possessions. “It wasn’t just the drops, it was a lot of issues that we had throughout the night,” Werner said. “We’d move the ball then find a way to stop the drive ourselves.” Kelly didn’t play up to his usual standards, turning the ball over on critical drives twice, but he still managed to throw for 253 yards and a touchdown on 18 of 39 passing. Kelly did manage to run

the ball very effectively, rushing 14 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns. “(Kelly) had some good moments for sure, but he had some that he would like to have over I’m sure,” Freeze said. “A little off on a couple of throws that I think give you first downs, and he was under some pressure at times but he did some really nice things too. No doubt he competed, I thought he had a chance to get that first there at the end, and that may have been a big jump start for us we had plenty of time to go score.” Ole Miss had some mental errors and miscommunications that slowed their drives as well.

Rebels soccer gets comeback victory on Senior Night

JOSH GOLLIHAR

thedmsports@gmail.com

In one of the more exciting games of the year, the Ole Miss soccer team knocked off the Texas A&M Aggies in a comeback 2-1 victory on Senior Night. The thrilling win was a great send off for the six Rebels seniors in their last game in Oxford. The Aggies got the scoring going in minute 53 with a goal from Emily Bates. All of the momentum was on the Aggies’ side for most of the first half and up until the goal was scored in the second half. After that, the Rebels went on the attack and notched the equalizer in minute 76 off of the leg of midfielder Bella Fiorenzo. Seven minutes later, sophomore midfielder CeCe Kizer displayed professional-level footwork to get open and find the back of the net. Her goal was the deciding point in the Rebels’ victory. Marnie Merritt was solid in the net blocking six of the seven shots she faced. Coach Matt Mott praised his goalkeeper for her five saves in the first half and key stops in the second half. “She is just a class goalkeeper. She is really playing well at the right time for us and I am really happy with her and the whole back line,” Mott said regarding Merritt’s showing tonight. When the Rebels surrendered the goal to Texas A&M, the team seemed to rally behind the senior leadership from Addie Forbus and Gretchen Harknett who made plays that will not show up in the statistics, but provided other players with the opportunity to be successful. Mott credits his team’s ability to maintain the same game plan when they fell behind. “We just kept playing. We knew we would have looks in the second half. They scored but there was still 33 minutes left. The free kick by Bella [Fiorenzo] was great, and CeCe [Kizer] did what she does… score goals,” Mott said. Even though the underclassmen were the ones whose performance showed up in the box

The group of goalie Madi Killeen, Forbus, forward and defenseman Sara Coleman, midfielder and forward Mackenze Parma, Harknett, and defenseman Melissa Capoccia comprises one of the most successful senior classes in Ole Miss soccer history. The group has won 47 games and are not done. The class has made two NCAA Tournament appearances, including the school’s first ever Sweet 16 appearance in 2015. Forbes said she loved the way her last game in Oxford ended.

“You only get one Senior Night. I could not have drawn it up better than this,” Forbus said. “These are the games that make everything worth it. These are the games that you live to play.” Hartnett said she has cherished the times she has been able to wear the Ole Miss jersey, especially here in Oxford. She said she would not have wanted her last game at home to end any other way. “It was an unbelievable ending,” Harknett said. “I cannot explain how it feels, how special it is to play on this field. It is even better to win my last home game, and I cannot picture it with any-

There is a lot to choose from, but those are my top two.” Mott has nothing but respect and admiration for his six seniors. “They are perfect. There have been no discipline problems,” Mott said. “They are great students. They have worked so hard

They needed this reward and I am really happy for them.” In regards to the rest of the season, Mott said he feels confident that his team can get into the SEC tournament with three games left to play. “I think one more point will do it, but we are thinking about winning three more games,” Mott said. “Right now my only focus is Georgia.” The Rebels go on the road for the last three games of SEC play against Georgia, Vanderbilt and the second-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks.
