Hope through the flames after Greenville church fire TAYLOR SHELLEY EMILY MACKENZIE

thedmnews@gmail.com

Greenville, Miss. – Bishop Clarence Green has an interesting message for the perpetrators who vandalized his church: “forgiveness.” The Hopewell Baptist Church in Greenville was set on fire Tuesday night. Authorities are calling it an act of intimidation. Green said he believes the church is more than a building: it’s a community of love. He wants to remind the residents of Greenville to remain resilient and to look toward forgiveness. “You can’t let the actions of others lower your standards of life,” Green said. Kenneth Powell and his wife live next door to the church. Powell said they reported the fire to authorities after they noticed flames creeping through the roof of the church. “I was afraid the flames would come over here,” Powell said. The perpetrator torched the inner sanctuary, and “Vote Trump” was spray-painted in white on the side of the building. ROGELIO V.

Baptist Church Brown Sr. said the cause of the fire in Greenville. “Vote Trump” was spray-painted on an outside wall of the black member church. is still to be determined.

“What we do know, is that the fire was started intentionally,” Brown said. Though Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons was not quick to blame political affiliation, he said the fire is being investigated as a hate crime. “This itself was a hateful and cowardly act, because it directly infringes on the people’s civil liberties,” Simmons said. Greenville has a population of more than 32,000, with 78 percent African-American and 20 percent white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Simmons said he believes race relations in the city are “fair” and “great.” However, members of the community are still left wondering why this happened. “Why would you hate the church? If you can’t go to the church and have service and peace, where can you go? What is next?” Greenville resident Khadijah Mitchell said. The investigation of the church fire is still ongoing. The authorities said they have a person of interest, but no arrests have been made.

Senator speaks to state It’s On Us concludes week of national sexual assault awareness flag advocacy group DM STAFF REPORT

The Ole Miss Associated Student Body and Rebels Against Sexual Assault joined forces this week to sponsor events built to educate the campus during It’s On Us Week. As a part of the national week designed to end sexual assault on college campuses, RASA and ASB brought in a visiting speaker, hosted a panel discussion and sponsored a 3K run. They will hold a Sexual Assault Awareness rally and debut UM’s Clothespin Project today. 2016’s It’s On Us Week kicked off on Halloween at 11 a.m. in front of the Union with a student Pledge Drive. RASA and ASB encouraged students to sign the national It’s On Us organization’s

pledge to “Help keep women and men safe from sexual assault” and to “Not be a bystander to the problem, but to be part of the solution.” Freshman psychology major Sarah Cooley was one of many to sign her name. “I think the pledge is a great reminder of what we need to be doing on campus,” Cooley said. Chardonnay Madkins, project manager with End Rape on Campus, kept the week’s programs rolling with her Tuesday night presentation in Bishop Hall. Madkins emphasized EROC’s mission to end campus sexual assault violence through direct support for survivors, educational prevention and policy reform. She said students who are marginalized by race or sexual orientation are often left out of sexual assault conversations on campuses.

“We have to very much be aware of what environment we’re in and how it treats marginalized people,” Madkins said. “First thing we have to do is learn the facts of rape and rape culture.” Next semester, Madkins will set out on a yearlong tour of college campus to promote EROC’s message across the country. Ole Miss was the first stop on her mission to re-center America’s marginalized students, which she said would help all students. Wednesday night, It’s On Us Week 2016 pushed on with a screening of Kirby Dick’s 2015 documentary, “The Hunting Ground.” The film challenged American college administrators to do more to combat campus sexual assault. After the film, ASB and RASA led a panel discussion between students

HEAD-TO-HEAD: PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Clinton is the only qualified choice for president COLUMN

DANIEL PAYNE

thedmopinion@gmail.com

I know most people have heard more than their fair share of political rhetoric over this election cycle, but I really believe this is important: You should go out and vote on Nov. 8. I know there are a million excuses not to vote, but I am going to address just two that I have heard several times on campus in the past weeks. The first one goes like this: “Both candidates are the same and will destroy the country equally.” There is no doubt in my mind that one candidate has a temperament, resume and heart that better qualifies her for the job, but what paints a clearer picture of the candidates’ differences are nonpartisan numbers. Let’s start with what may be considered one of the prominent issues of the day: reducing the deficit. According to the group Citizens for Tax Justice, Trump’s policies will add $12 trillion to the deficit, while Clinton’s policies will add just $745 billion. I know both of these numbers are large, but you can’t argue that they are the same; for every dollar Clinton would add to our deficit, Trump would add 16. That is not to mention which candidate is more honest, as recorded by Politifact. Hillary’s statements are rat-

ed as false 13 percent of the time, while Donald weighs in at 51 percent of his claims being untrue. Once again, the numerical difference is undeniable. The second claim I have heard is that people feel they have to choose between the lesser of two evils, as if they do not have a candidate that represents them well. This claim is probably true for some Americans, but it is not a reason to stay home from the polls. Presidential nominees are human and make mistakes, and we need to remember that. We cannot expect any candidate to be in full agreement with all of our views, so we will always have to make the decision of which candidate better represents us. The idea that we have to vote for the lesser of two evils is nothing new, and I think it comes from the perspective that nothing good or honest occurs in politics. That idea simply is not true; the Obama administration alone saw millions of Americans receive affordable health care, marriage equality become the standard for all states and unemployment drop in our economy. The same judgement will be passed on our next president. Will history see our nation as one that did not stop a man who is arguably the least viable candidate in history? All in all, there is only one candidate who has made comments that some view as undermining the validity of the election process, suggested banning Muslim immigration and lied more than he has told the truth. You can disagree with some of the policies of Hillary Clinton, but it’s hard to deny that apathetic or unconvinced voters should find time to make their voices heard and allow America to keep moving forward. Daniel Payne is a freshman integrated marketing communications major from Collierville, Tennessee.

Trump will bring the change America needs

GUEST COLUMN

MATT SEWELL

thedmopinion@gmail.com

It is hard to believe, but the president election is only days away. Though this year has been full of insults, it is important to remember the real issues on the ballot. For conservatives, many of the principles we believe in are at stake. When it comes to abortion, Donald Trump has made it clear he will support the fundamental right to life. In the third presidential debate, Trump committed to being anti-abortion and to appointing anti-abortion judges to the Supreme Court. Secretary Clinton made it clear that she is against reversing Roe v. Wade. Jeremiah 1:5 reads “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” All life is precious to God, and the taking of that life is wrong. In God’s eyes, a life in the womb is the same as a life outside the womb. Hillary Clinton does not believe this, while Donald Trump does. The borders of our country are out of control. In 2015, the Center for Immigration Studies estimated that more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants had crossed the southern border during Barack Obama’s administration. Donald Trump believes in legal immigration, while still enforcing our

borders. He will end sanctuary cities, which shelter illegal immigrants. Secretary Clinton has said that our southern border is “the most secure border we have ever had.” She will expand the controversial executive amnesty that President Obama started. To preserve the safety of our people, our borders must be secure. There is no question that Donald Trump’s positions will bring change to our immigration system, while Hillary Clinton’s will bring amnesty and open borders. Henry David Thoreau once said “That government is best which governs least.” Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have wide disagreement over how large our government should be. Hillary Clinton believes in more government intervention in people’s lives. She has committed to vast spending increases and new programs under pressure from radical leftists like Bernie Sanders. Her plan includes chipping away at law-abiding Americans’ second amendment rights. Donald Trump has pledged to reduce taxes and eliminate special interest loopholes. He will also preserve and protect the second amendment and not force mandates from Washington, D.C, on the American people. The choice Americans have to make on Nov. 8 is extremely clear. Hillary Clinton’s radical positions on abortion, immigration and government intervention disqualify her from getting my vote. Donald Trump is the only candidate who will preserve American values and secure our country so we can move toward a better future. Americans deserve better than the past eight years, and with Donald Trump in office, we can accomplish real change. Matt Sewell is junior chemical engineering major farom Clarksdale.

responsibility to fly the state flag.” McDaniels criticized the contextual plaque recently placed on the Confederate memorial in the Circle, saying the issue was too complex for a single plaque to explain. “I’ve never understood the need for plaques and things like that. We can all read, can’t we? We’re all capable adults. There are books and libraries. I’ve never understood the need to rewrite history,” McDaniels said. “You want a university to foster creativity, but safe spaces and trigger points and all these accusations don’t foster creativity. It suppresses creativity. I don’t think I’m asking too much. It’s just for the whole community to be heard.” McDaniels said many people place too much trust in the federal government. “There are politicians in this country who want to divide you based on race. There are groups of politicians in this country who want to divide you based on gender. They need you to feel disempowered. They want to you to feel disempowered so you need to depend on them to feel empowered. It’s the oldest trick in the book, and people are falling for it. And it’s tearing this country apart.” McDaniels’ points were largely supported by the crowd, though there were some who raised questions against his stances. McDaniels said his main objective was to listen to the speakers, not argue with them. “The point is, history is complex and it should be discussed,” McDaniels said. “If you’re going to contextualize one, then you’re going to need to contextualize everything, and if governments start doing that, there’s an expense factor, and there’s also a factor of ‘Who gets to contextualize? Who gets to make the ultimate call?’”

and university officials. Jeremy Cook of University Police, assistant director for Violence Prevention Lindsey Bartlett Mosvick, student Elizabeth Romary and Title IX Coordinator Honey Ussery sat on the panel. “We’ve gotten lots of community support,” Ussery said. “The new chancellor has been extremely supportive of Title IX and RASA.” Ussery said this week her department is launching an online training program for all faculty and staff. This sexual assault prevention and response training is mandatory for all staff members to complete before Dec. 21. Continuing their week of violence prevention, ASB and RASA sponsored a 3K Glow Race to spread awareness of campus sexual violence on Thursday. ASB called the free race a “fun run”, as it was open to anyone older than 14 and was not timed. ASB and RASA will wrap up 2016’s It’s On Us Week with

This demonstration is a part of the national Clothespin Project, which supports assault survivors by allowing them to anonymously share their struggle through artful t-shirts. Friday at noon, RASA and the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender studies will gather students for a rally in the Lyceum Circle. At the end of this 2016 It’s On Us Week, ASB polled the university via Twitter about the week’s effects. According to their Twitter poll of 80 students, 43 percent of Ole Miss students are well aware of the university-provided resources available to victims of sexual assault, compared to the 25 percent who say they are not. Madkins said ASB and RASA’s It’s On Us Week programs impressed her. “I can see the students’ activism and their passion for doing what’s needed and knowing it’s right.”

Review: A$ap Mob’s ‘Cozy Tapes: Vol. 1 Friends’ ZOE MCDONALD

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

Instead of the more solemn vibe from some of the A$ap Mob members’ last works, “Cozy Tapes: Vol. 1 Friends” offers a tribute to Yams that is joyful, exciting and heartwarming at the same time. The album’s endearing cover, a picture of baby A$ap Yams laughing happily atop a white, plush pillow, brings to the fore the goal of the mixtape: to honor the life of a man whose music and ability to navigate the industry brought his crew, the A$ap Mob, into the mainstream hip-hop world. What’s fascinating about the album is it not only offers rare collaborations of rappers from across the various hip-hop genres and scenes but also shows a certain rawness present in friends coming together to devote a piece of art to their best friend, their ringleader. Their separate rap and melodic styles emerge in the album, allowing them each to display their own reactions and thoughts on their friend. These rappers, led by A$ap Rocky and the A$ap Mob, collaborate to create an album that, in spite of the plethora of features and individual styles throughout, is nearly as focused and streamlined as their individual pieces of work. Putting aside any past beef, they pay tribute to Yams in a way that is both individualized and well synthesized. The first few songs on the album, from “Yamborghini High” to “Young N***a Living,” have the signature sound of A$ap Rocky throughout. But elements from other members of the A$ap Mob, like Ant and Nast, shine through. The other features, which range from Juicy J to UK grime rapper Skepta to rap newcomers Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty, pair nicely with a sound that was spearheaded by A$ap Yams and is now recognized as unique to the A$ap Mob. The Mob teased to the mixtape

in January of this year when they released the first track, “Yamborghini High,” followed by other singles “Crazy Brazy,” “Money Man” and “Put That on my Set.” While the album’s organization — with members of A$ap Mob and other friends divided among songs — can sometimes backfire, the listener can easily find the artists and songs he or she likes best in this format. If you’re a fan of A$ap Rocky’s signature lolling beats and deep-voiced appliques, you’ll like the first four tracks. If you like the melodic sound of Yachty or Uzi Vert’s rapping, listen to “Runner” and “Bachelor.” Local DJ Mikayla Skinner (aka DJ Skin) put this phenomenon in words best: “This album is an identity album for A$ap Mob and everyone else featured on ‘Cozy Tapes.’” Almost immediately you can hear Juicy J’s entrance in “Yamborghini High.” Skepta’s crisp and clean raps — complete with a slight British accent — juxtapose Rocky’s cloudy drawl in “Put That on my Set.” Lil Uzi Vert and Yachty offer their youthful, melodic voices in their features,

and Tyler, The Creator comes in on the last track with his signature hard and loud verses. The subject matter of the album — the streets, drugs, money, women — are all tied to Yams. While the A$ap Mob does express sadness in his passing, “Cozy Tapes” is also a celebration of his life, his influence on the rap world and his work in making A$ap Mob successful. One of the more successful members of A$ap Mob, A$ap Ferg, sums it up in a line from “Yamborghini High”: “Yammy’s vision got us rich, catch a n**** flyin’ by in a Lambo.” The last track of the mixtape, “Telephone,” has a rolling, creepy melody held together by the sound of a phone alert. The album ends on this tone, which eventually begins to sound like a pulse. Perhaps this insinuates another A$ap Mob collaboration, or perhaps it speaks to the level of influence Yams instilled in these artists, so much so that he lives on in facets of all their music.

From the sports desk: College football pick‘em week 11 COLUMN

Mr. Ole Miss himself joins The DM sports staff to hit us with some college football knowledge

GEORGIA SOUTHERN @ OLE MISS Sports Editor Brian Scott Rippee: Just like we all thought, Ole Miss is playing a must-win game against Georgia Southern to fight for bowl eligibility in November, right? Well, the Rebels can exhale for a week at least. Ole Miss 48, GS 24. Assistant Sports Editor Cody Thomason: Georgia Southern is great for a small school, but if the Rebels blow this game, the season is pretty much at rock bottom. The Rebels need this game to get some players healthy and work on their defense, and they should have the talent to win this game by a sizable margin. Mr. Ole Miss Cole Putman: Ole Miss. Honestly, the only one I have any knowledge on. Rebs.

NO. 10 NEBRASKA @ NO. 6 OHIO STATE

NO. 1 ALABAMA @ NO. 13 LSU

BSR: If Ohio State wins out, it is in the playoff. Urban Meyer isn’t losing this one.

BSR: I respect the hell out of the fire Ed Orgeron has lit under this LSU team. It looked like an angry, hungry team when I saw them in Baton Rouge a couple of weeks ago. This will be a dog fight, but I think Alabama wins by 10.

CT: Nebraska has been a pleasant surprise for the Big Ten conference this year, with their only loss coming at the hands of a very quality Wisconsin team. Ohio State dropped a game they should’ve won against Penn State a few weeks ago, but they’re still one of the top teams in the nation and should win here.

CT: Fournette has finally returned to Heisman form, and Ed Orgeron has looked pretty solid as the interim head coach. That being said, I think Nick Saban out-coaches him, and the Tide will find a way to slow down Leonard Fournette.

CP: Nebraska. Creamed corn is my favorite veggie at Ajax. ‘Huskers all the way.

CP: Hopefully neither, but I’ll go with Alabama.

NO. 11 FLORIDA @ ARKANSAS

TEXAS A&M @ MISSISSIPPI STATE

BSR: I’m all about this seemingly ridiculous Kentucky narrative, and Arkansas is tough at home. Hogs win.

BSR: TCU has had a rough go of it this year through a pretty watered down Big 12. It doesn’t get any better this week. Baylor wins.

CT: I’m not sure if Florida is actually good or if the SEC East is just that weak. Meanwhile, Arkansas is much better than their record suggests, with their only losses coming to some of the top teams in the conference. I’m betting on the Razorbacks here.

CT: Baylor took their first loss last week against Texas, and I think they go down again this week. TCU has dropped off since the beginning of the year, but I think the Horned Frogs still have the ability to jump out to a quick lead and keep it.

BSR: Mississippi State is about to run into the teeth of its schedule to end the season. Texas A&M wins comfortably, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all too see the Bulldogs keep it close for at least a little while.

CP: Bacon for breakfast on Sunday morning. Florida.

CP: TCU. Horned Frogs will rise again.

Editor to editor:

Rebels vs. Eagles

Robert George, sports writer for The George-Anne, joins The Daily Mississippian sports editor Brian Scott Rippee to discuss this week’s game. 1. It seems there has been a little bit of a drop off from last year to this year. What’s been the biggest difference since Tyson Summers took over for Willie Fritz?

1. Ole Miss is sitting at 3-5 on the season and completely out of the picture in the SEC West. What’s the goal now for this team?

RG: For one, the offense has regressed. The Eagles averaged about 35 points per game last season but have put up about 26 points per game so far this season. They’re not running with the same efficiency as last season, either, and the explosive plays in the running game have all but disappeared.

BSR: I’ll keep it pretty simple: get healthy and make a bowl. Ole Miss has been decimated with injuries during this disappointing stretch just about everywhere, but particularly on the offensive line. As you alluded to, the Rebels are 3-5. A road trip to College Station looms next week, and the Vanderbilt game the week after in Nashville will be tricky. The Commodore defense is very good, and Ralph Webb is an underrated running back. Ole Miss has got to find a way to win three of its next four to get bowl eligible for the sake of momentum, as well as the couple of extra weeks of practice that come with that. It will benefit some of its younger players, particularly on the defensive side of the football, greatly.

2. What has been Georgia Southern’s biggest strength this season offensively, and what has been its biggest weakness? RG: On offense it’s been our kicker, Younghoe Koo. He’s a perfect 14-14 on field goals this season and was just named a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award. The weakness has been the lack of a consistent running game, something in which Georgia Southern usually excels.

3. What is a matchup defensively in which you think Georgia Southern might have an advantage? RG: Ukeme Eligwe has been a monster at linebacker this season. He’s a Florida State transfer, and his extreme talent has been evident in every game this season. He’s been the playmaker for the defense and should have a chance to make some more big plays against a pass-happy Ole Miss squad.

4. If there is one key that makes this option attack function well, what is it? RG: When it is working, it’s because of the experienced quarterbacks we have and the gifted running backs. Seniors Kevin Ellison and Favian Upshaw have put up big numbers the past few seasons at the helm, and Matt Breida, L.A. Ramsby and Wesley Fields form a backfield that is as talented as anyone in the country. Unfortunately, the option hasn’t really found its rhythm this season.

5. Ole Miss has faced some really good running backs this year, and Matt Breida is another good one. What makes him so special? RG: Breida is a workhorse, and has top-end speed to go along with a strong frame. He’s not a big guy, but he’s also not afraid to run between the tackles and pick up tough yards. His real talent, however, shows when he gets into the open field. He’ll be looking to get in the end zone after finding it just three times so far this season.

2. What’s led to the 3-5 record? Is it just a tough schedule or is there more to it? BSR: Ole Miss has had a ridiculously tough schedule. It can’t stop the run. Its secondary is young, and it has been hit with a lot of injuries. After the Rebels fell to Auburn last week, Hugh Freeze said that he had told someone close to him before the season started that he had concerns about his defense. His fears came to fruition. That’s the simple reality with which Ole Miss is faced.

3. Chad Kelly has a lot of experience and has accomplished a lot in his career. How do you think he’ll be remembered after he’s graduated? BSR: I would like to think that he will be remembered as a guy that was asked to do a ton in the offense and answered the call about as well as anyone could. Kelly is what makes this offense go. He’s very versatile and has made play after play for the Rebels while lighting up the record books in his two-year career here. He’s one of the best Ole Miss has ever had under center and should be remembered as such.

4. How has Ole Miss been preparing for Georgia Southern’s offense? BSR: Freeze and the staff have remained relatively tight-lipped about it, but the main thing is trying to prepare for the vast number of different looks that this option attack gives on every play. Ole Miss played Wofford earlier in the year, and it ran the triple option. Freeze said this is the shotgun version of that offense but also said it is very different. It will be a tough task for a team that has had fits trying to stop the run this year.

5. Who on Ole Miss has a chance to shine in Saturday’s matchup? BSR: I’m going to say middle linebacker Rommel Mageo. He’s a senior that transferred in from Oregon State, and while he has contributed, it seems as if he has never found his footing in this defense. Ole Miss has been desperately searching for answers at linebacker, and it has been a revolving door all year. Through injuries and other things, Mageo is drawing the start this week and has a chance to have a big game.
