Governor Magnolia Bowl: The Rebels’ oldest rivalry hopes to keep out refugees MORGAN WALKER

Miss’ golden era, 1958 to 1960, under legendary Coach Johnny Vaught during a time when freshmen were ineligible, players played both offense and defense and the LSU game was the biggest and baddest of them all. “It was always a huge game,” Alford said. “We were both strong teams at the time. LSU had good teams and we had
Governor Phil Bryant’s statement on Monday regarding Syrian refugees has captured national, state and local attention. “I will do everything humanly possible to stop any plans from the Obama administration to put Syrian refugees in Mississippi,” Bryant said. In September, The White House press secretary announced the plans of the Obama administration to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States within the next year. In light of the most recent terror strikes in Europe, several governors across the country have taken a stand on this issue, stating they will not accept Syrian refugees into their state. Bryant is one of 31 governors who have spoken out against the Obama administration’s decision. Thomas Rosser, an Oxford attorney practicing immigration law, said Bryant and the other 30 gov-

Saturday will mark the 103rd game played between Ole Miss and LSU, a series that dates back to Dec. 3, 1894 when Ole Miss defeated LSU 26-6 in Baton Rouge. It was the second year that Ole Miss had a football team and the beginning of what would later become a heated
rivalry known as the Magnolia Bowl. “We have seen so many exciting games played between Ole Miss and LSU,” said Langston Rogers, assistant to the Ole Miss athletic director. “During one stretch of time, both teams were ranked in the Top 5 every time they met.” In fact, the heart of the rivalry came from that stretch of games
between 1958 and 1963. Only one team entered the matchup with more than one loss during that period— that was in 1960 when LSU tied No. 2 Ole Miss 6-6. Warner Alford, a McComb native, played on SEC and National Championship Ole Miss teams and served as the school’s athletic director. Alford said he knows the LSU opposition all too well— he played during Ole

As the Ole Miss Rebels prepare to face the LSU Tigers in the last home football game of the season, hundreds of students are transferring their student tickets. Not all of these transfers will get fans into the gates on Saturday, however. Students who choose to loan their UM ID card to another person to scan into the football game risk losing their ID to the University Police Department and the buyer not being granted entrance into the game. UPD reported 30 to 35 student IDs were confiscated at the last home game against Arkansas on Nov. 7.
Matt Cook, manager of ticket operations, said 8,000 student section season tickets were available this year. All revenue from those ticket sales went directly into the operating budget of the athletics department. “The success of the football team, combined with demand for tickets, is causing the frequency (of sharing and selling student IDs) to rise,” Cook said. “Demand is at an all-time high.” Cook said student tickets are sold at a heavily discounted rate of $120, when compared to the public price of $385 per season ticket. “Having student tickets delivered to your student ID is designed to simplify the ticketing process for the student, as you
are required to have your university ID on your person at all times when on campus,” Cook said. “We only allow students to transfer tickets to other students to maintain the integrity of the student section.” Ole Miss Athletics has delivered student tickets to student IDs since 2010, but the ability to transfer tickets between valid student IDs is new this season. The new online website allows students to transfer their ticket to another valid student ID. Each ID can only hold one ticket per game. University Police Chief Tim Potts said confiscating the IDs at the gates usually happens PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY: ROYCE SWAYZE when the ID obviously doesn’t New student ID exchange regulations have game day officials watching for fraud.

One of the unfortunate outcomes of the Paris attacks has been that over half of the United States’ governors have vowed to keep refugees out of their states. Our own governor, Phil Bryant, said he would do “anything humanly possible” to resist refugees’ entrance into Mississippi. At first glance, this train of thought may seem reasonable, specifically when one of the Paris attackers posed as a THE DAILY

However, I beg you to dig a little deeper, and you will find that one man was successful because of intelligence failure, an isolated incident among refugees seeking protection and a better life. I could discuss intelligence and foreign policy issues, but this letter isn’t about that. This letter is about the governors that vowed not to let any refugees into their states, the governors whom claim to be Christians. As their brother in Christ, I am publicly asking these leaders to rethink their decision, made in haste. I am asking them to resist the temptation to gain political points off this tragic events by capitalizing off fear and mass hysteria. I urge

these governors and those that agree with them to rethink their stance, especially if they are professing Christianity. To put hosting refugees in context, only 1,500 Syrian refugees have been accepted into the United States since 2011, according to CNN. Those 1,500 went through an intensive vetting process that takes an average of between 16 and 18 months. President Obama said that only 10,000 Syrian refugees will come to the United States next year. That’s a small number compared to the total number of Syrian refugees is upward of 4 million. When these governors issued their statements, they did not bother to release any of this research in their assessment of the situation. To these governors, I use the saying, albeit cliché’: “What would Jesus do?” The Bible teaches us that even while we were sinners, Christ died for us. Even when

we hated Him, spit upon Him, constantly rejected Him, and broke His law, He still died for us. The Bible says we should have a love like that for one another. The Bible teaches that we should pick up our cross daily and follow Him. Please don’t get it confused. The Cross is not a symbol of comfort, but the complete opposite— a symbol of death. It’s where Christ laid down His life for us. Hebrews 12:2-3 says “looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.” This is the same level of sacrifice that we are called to make daily.

Most importantly, why can’t you give up some of your political points and power so that 10,000 people can have a safe place to sleep at night? Something we take for granted! I can empathize with these refugees because I have been a refugee. I have known just a small fraction of what these people are going through. I was a refugee within my own country after Hurricane Katrina. My beloved mother wading through Katrina water to get my siblings and me food is something I will never forget.

trates the magnitude of this sacrifice: “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ Do not read this and hear me suggesting an open border policy. I am certainly not, and I feel it’s safe to say no one is saying that or advocating for irresponsible national security. The antithesis of a completely open policy, not using any sort of discernment on allowing entry, is a completely closed border, doing anything “humanly possible to stop them for coming here,” according to our governor. Instead, I am advocating that we help as many as possible using a comprehensive vetting system to try to eliminate any threats on our country. I am even advocating for the level of scrutiny in our system to increase. To these governors claiming Christianity: Christ gave up his life so that you may know life and be saved, and have true joy and comfort that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

After being denied shelter and food, we prepared to sleep in the car stacked on top of one another, but before we turned in someone offered us beds to sleep on, food to eat, and hot water to take a shower. What I know and have been through first hand is only a small fraction of what these people are going through. I was also blessed enough by God to already be in the United States, blessed that I wasn’t being terrorized, and blessed that someone decided to say “you can come here.” Ike Hill is a senior accountancy student from New Orleans.

Natascha Techen and Julie Holman have been taking in stray cats needing homes at 9 Lives Cat Rescue for nearly 10 years now, but by the end of November, its doors will close. Techen and Holman met through Feral University Rebel Rescues in 2003 and founded 9 Lives Cat Rescue in 2006. They run the shelter out of an insulated garage in Holman’s home, where they clean cages and litter boxes, bathe the cats and supply food, water and medicine. Techen, a research scientist at the National Center for Natural Products Research, moved to Oxford 13 years ago from Hamburg, Germany. “We found so many friendly cats on campus and we needed to find them homes,” Techen said. “That is why 9 Lives was founded.” Techen said several people have volunteered regularly with 9 Lives. Volunteers helped clean cages, feed the cats, do laundry and run necessary errands for the shelter. Techen transports cats to Tupelo pet stores once they are healthy and ready to be adopted. “I spent a lot of time on the road these past 10 years,” Techen said. Caroline Smith, a junior accountancy major, was introduced

to 9 Lives at this year’s Student Organization Fair during welcome week. “I think 9 Lives Cat Rescue is an awesome organization,” Smith said. “Oxford Humane Society alone cannot take in every cat, so it’s great that 9 Lives is contributing to sheltering strays,” Smith said. When 9 Lives Cat Rescue was founded, Techen and Holman funded the organization themselves. “Every now and then people would donate money to us,” Techen said, “We had a lot of support from the community.” Eventually, they were able to apply for grants with PetSmart and the Mississippi Board of Animal Health. Techen said some cat rescues were more dramatic than others. She once drove to Batesville while the county was under a tornado watch to rescue a cat that had been hit by a car off the side of the road. “He was partly paralyzed and had no control over his bowel movements,” Techen said. “I had to save him.” Techen will be moving to Senatobia in January after 9 Lives closes its doors, and Holman will not have enough volunteers to continue running the shelter. All of the remaining cats will be adopted and no more will be taken in. Holman is in charge of adoption interviews and finding homes for the cats. “Before I came here, I always thought it was more important to help people, but that quickly changed for me because animals don’t have a voice,” Techen said. “They are being abused, neglected, starved and they need somebody to take care of them.”
Techen is very sad to see the shelter come to an end. She said 9 Lives has introduced her to many friends she considers to be family, since the rest of her family is in Germany. “It has been a big part of my life,” Techen said. “It helped me to overcome my shyness when moving to a different country.” Scottie Sheridan, sophomore English education major, believes the location of 9 Lives Cat Rescue is what helped it strive these past 10 years. “You need to have a shelter in a community where
majority of people want to adopt and where you can get a lot of volunteers, and a college town is perfect for that,” Sheridan said.

LASER TAG
HAZELHURST HUSTLE
Landon Albritton, 20, of Terry, was charged in a federal indictment for aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft. Albritton was arraigned Wednesday before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. If convicted, Albritton will face a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. According to the WTOK via the U.S. Attorney’s Office, laser attack reports have increased recently as powerful laser devices have become more affordable for the wider public. The lasers can be extremely dangerous to pilots in the air.
According to ABC News, a Mississippi inmate was charged this week for running a jailhouse scam. Jebarious Neal of Hazlehurst was pretending to be an elected official or federal judge and received funds by promising to get the loved ones of his victims early release from prison. Neal was already in the middle of serving a 30-year sentence for burglary and larceny and is now being charged with false pretense. Tiffany McVane, also of Hazlehurst, was charged as a co-conspirator in the case. She is accused of receiving $5,000 from a victim.

According to Fox News, the procedure cost around $1 million. The patient, Patrick Hardison, was badly burned in a 2001 fire. The surgery began August 14 and lasted around 26 hours. It left no scars on his new face because the transplant seam runs down the back of his skull. Hardison is now undergoing physical therapy in hopes to spend Thanksgiving at his home in Senatobia.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant released a statement saying that he will “do everything humanly possible” to stop the federal government from letting any Syrian refugees in the state. According to WKRG News, Bryant is working with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security to determine whether there are plans to put them in the state. On Sunday, a spokesman for President Obama said that the administration is making plans to move forward with allowing around 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S.

good teams.” The rivalry was special because of the proximity of the schools and the fact that LSU didn’t have an in-state rival. Alford said he remembers playing at a time when Ole Miss had a small stadium without lights. It was a big deal to play at LSU because of their large stadium and their infamous night games. He played on the fated Halloween night of 1959, when LSU player Billy Cannon broke the Rebels’ hearts. “We were undefeated and they were undefeated,” Alford said. He remembered walking into the stadium and hearing the LSU students yelling “go to hell Ole Miss,” “It was almost like a riot”. The stadium rippled with energy before kick-off. They played on Halloween night in Tiger Stadium, which turned out to be a lethal combination. The Rebels were ahead by a mere field goal and the game score lulled back and forth. Ole Miss punted the ball to the LSU offense. “The ball landed inside the 20 yard line,” Alford said. “Normally, he would not have touched the football because it was in-
side the 10, but the ball bounced to him and he ran the ball back the 89 yards.” That stroke of fate was returned in the Sugar Bowl shortly after. “Now, that loss was devastating,” Alford said. The Rebels did not know at that time that they would make it to the Sugar Bowl, but somehow Coach Vaught did. “Coach Vaught said ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to get them in the Sugar Bowl,’” Crawford said. “And we did.” In 2008, the student governments of Ole Miss and LSU voted to pen the yearly game as the “Magnolia Bowl”. The students decided that it would be a great idea to enhance the rivalry in hopes of making it as exciting as it used to be. “Trophy games are important throughout the nation,” Rogers said. “It’s evident that the students at both schools take pride in this newest tradition between the Rebels and Tigers.” In 2008, Ole Miss defeated LSU 31-13 in Tiger Stadium to christen the first titled event. Just like any good rivalry, meetings between the two teams never seem to lack a flair for the dramatic. There was a nail-biting 14-12 Ole Miss victory in 1957 and LSU’s 7-3 win in 1959.
In 1964, LSU’s Doug Moreau caught a ball for a two-point conversion winning play. Archie Manning led Ole Miss to back-to-back victories in 1968 and 1969. In 1972, otherwise known as “The Night the Clock Stopped”, Baton Rouge hosted a 17-16 Tigers win with a one second left, one-handed catch by LSU’s Brad Davis. In 2003, Eli Manning tripped on the last play and caused Ole Miss to lose a shot at the SEC West by a mere field goal. Les Miles read the clock incorrectly in 2009 and LSU stormed the field in 2013. The rivalry ebbs and flows like any good competition should. When one team gets up, the other sits down. “History tells us that the Ole Mis-LSU rivalry is one of the best in college football,” Rogers said. LSU fans like to deny that there is a rivalry with Ole Miss, but history begs to differ. “It is a classic game,” Alford said. “Everyone always talks about this game.” The Rebels are looking for redemption from last year’s battle with the Tigers and the chance to take back the coveted trophy. The teams face each other in Vaught-Hemingway this Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Instate tuition at Mississippi’s eight public universities is set to rise by 4.1 percent on average next fall, with the average price of tuition and fees crossing $7,000 for the first time. The College Board approved the preliminary increase Thursday and trustees will likely vote again in December to finalize the plan. The statewide average for two semesters of full-time tuition and fees would rise by an average of $268 to $7,027, with increases ranging from 2.5 percent at Alcorn State University to 5 percent at Delta State University. Tuition would go up another 3.3 percent on average in fall 2017 under plans presented to the board. Seven schools plan increases ranging from 1.4 percent to 4.9 percent in 2017. Delta State plans no increase that year. Universities say they need more money to increase faculty salaries, cover operational costs and make up for lingering reductions to state aid. “We have needs to be met on campus to maintain the quality of academic programs,” said Jim Borsig, president of the Mississippi University for Women. Though appropriations to the university system rose by $23 million this year, it still remains $11 million short of state appropriations in the 2008 budget year, the last year before the recession forced sharp reductions. “The truth of the matter is, it’s still been hard to recover
from the recession,” Higher Education Commissioner Glen Boyce said. Universities and other state agencies also face the threat of possible budget cuts in the current year, and little projected growth in state revenue in 2016-2017. Boyce, though, said those projections didn’t figure much into the tuition decisions. Many students don’t pay the sticker price, thanks to federal, state and college-based aid. In 2012-2013, Mississippi university students typically got $6,500 worth of aid, Southern Regional Education Board figures show. That covered about onethird of the total cost of attendance, which includes tuition, room and board, books and transportation. Still, increasing college costs are far outstripping stagnant family incomes. In-state tuition will rise 64 percent from fall 2006 to fall 2016, while household incomes in Mississippi have risen less than 20 percent in that time. It now takes about 17 percent of the typical Mississippi family’s income to pay for just tuition at a state university. More students are borrowing to pay for school. More than half of freshmen at the state’s eight public universities had federally financed student debt in 2012-2013, with the typical borrower incurring more than $7,000 in debt. The numbers are higher at some schools.

REFUGEE
ID FRAUD
ernors have taken the easy way out of a complex issue. “The number proposed by President Obama is proportionately about one-20th of the number that our allies in Europe and elsewhere have already agreed to shelter,” Rosser said . “The number is inadequate in light of our own national responsibilities for having sown the seeds of destabilization in the Middle East.” According to the New York Times, 1,854 Syrian refugees have been admitted into the United States since 2012. In addition, only two percent of the 70,000 refugees admitted within the last fiscal year were from Syria. The civil war in Syria has created over 4 million international refugees, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The threat of national security has been much debated since governors began publicly refusing Syrian refugees. However, according to Rosser, the vetting process for refugees is extensive. “Our country already has one of the most complicated, time-consuming and thorough vetting processes for admitting refugees of any nation on earth and few ever pass that gauntlet,” Rosser said. Andrew Soper, senior public policy leadership major and Associate Student Body senator, stands with the governor’s response. “I trust Governor Bryant’s judgement,” Soper said. “He has the best interest of the people of Mississippi at heart and I am confident he is making the right decision for Mississippi.” Political science professor Conor Dowling said many people are concerned about national security and fear there is no accurate way to determine which refugees should be allowed into the country. “There’s no way the government
match the user. “It became an issue when they would have a white male carrying a different person’s ID or a female carrying a male’s ID,” Potts said. “Come on.” The University has a policy prohibiting students from sharing their IDs and threatens disciplinary action if caught. Potts said for UPD, the safety aspect of sharing IDs is the most concerning because student IDs also give students access to their flex dollars, residence halls and more. “You can count on the fact that IDs will be scrutinized at the gate,” Potts said. “We’re not trying to rain on somebody’s parade, but there’s a proper way of transferring that ticket to somebody else.” In light of recent attack in Paris and a crowded game venue, security will be heightened this weekend. “With our Emergency Operating Center, we’re able to monitor a lot of the gates in high-traffic areas with cameras,” Potts said. “We’ll have everyone from Oxford Police to the highway patrol to FBI all up in our EOC helping us with eyes and ears on what’s taking place with the game.” Potts said check-in at the gates is going to take longer than usual with the additional security measures in place and encouraged fans to arrive earlier to the games than normal.

Governor Phil Bryant delivers the commencement address in 2014. can be 100 percent certain that every person let into the country would not have ties to a terrorist group,” Dowling said. “It’s the fear of the unknown that is leading to a more isolationist viewpoint of people in Mississippi, but also the nation as well.” Dowling said the goal of these governors’ statements is to reassure residents their state will be protected. “With incidents like what happened in Paris, Beirut and Kenya there’s a natural tendency for people to be concerned that something like that can happen again on their own soil,” Dowling said. “It’s just a natural reaction.” Even though over half of the country’s governors have declared their position on this issue, it is still a federal matter, and individual states cannot refuse the admission of refugees, Rosser said. “Legally, it becomes a battleground between those who believe states’ rights should prevail over federal law and policies, and the final outcome may very well lead to another determination made by the U.S. Supreme Court,” Rosser said. States’ refusal to cooperate in this matter will not necessarily
“
prohibit the entrance of refugees. However, it will elongate the process. “In most cases related to the infringement of the exclusive federal authority over immigration matters, such state efforts are usually struck down after tedious and time-consuming litigation,” Rosser said. Public policy leadership professor Eric Weber said governors have little to no control over the entrance of refugees into the country. “Calling the federal government to screen people carefully might make sense if we did not already do that, but we do,” Weber said. “Once refugees enter the U.S., given that our state borders are open, I do not see on what grounds the Governor could keep refugees out.” The United States Refugee Act of 1980 authorizes refugees to be placed anywhere within the United States. William Schenck, associate director of the Croft Institute, said the ultimate end to the argument would be to end the civil war in Syria. However, the current issue at hand is to decide how the United States wants to relate to the rest of the world.
“People who come through this refugee system are not only vetted more so than any other individual who comes into the country, but they’re also monitored once they’re here,” Schenck said. “Being welcoming and open to people who really are the direct victims of what seems to be one of the most barbaric regimes in our world is a good thing.” This national issue has sparked a debate on campus. Senior international studies major Erica McGraw has been vocal about this issue through social media. “The words of Gov. Bryant are un-American,” McGraw said. “I understand the risks associated with doing the right thing and, like the governor, I have worries too, but we cannot let our fear overshadow our compassion.”

Guys, let’s give your girlfriend a break—it’s time to dress yourself right this fall. “What are you wearing,” they say. “I don’t know…” you say. Because you don’t. It just kind of happened, right? Don’t worry. I’ve been there too. “I’ll just throw this on… and these… and oh, yeah, these work too,” And then you look like you put your clothes on in the dark. When the lights come on, you’re not looking as cool as you know you are. Let’s get it together, ok? You can do this. With a few tips and ideas from friends at Hinton & Hinton, you can be the stud-the man-- that conquers any event right when you walk in— whether it’s the Grove, a soccer game or even class. If you feel like you have it together and know exactly what you’re doing, that’s just fine. A little advice never hurt anyone. Layering: One word that you need to add to your wardrobe is layering. It’s easy. Add an element of dimension to your wardrobe. It makes you look like you know what your doing-- chicks dig it.
“Always layer, add some interest. Get a vest. Get a quarter zip. Get a jacket,” said Whitney Smith Turner at Hinton & Hinton. If it’s casual, wear an open button down with your favorite t-shirt. Pair it with a tailored pair of jeans, khakis or casual, colored pants and your favorite pair of kicks. You’re good to go for a comfortable and cool day! If it’s an event that calls for something a little more formal, the opportunities to impress are endless. Invest in a blazer that isn’t navy or black. Preferably nothing wild—make sure it’s something that you can match with multiple pants and ties. Vests—you know what to do. Look around for a neutral sweater (in cashmere or in wool). Pairing this with a pair of slacks and a tie saves you from being boring. Make sure to top it all off with a woodsy or fresh scent. Layering is interesting. Girls like things that are interesting. Enough said. Denim: You want to be a badass? Of course you do. Me too. So buy denim. Yes, I know you have jeans. We aren’t only talking about your jeans. “Denim, or a non-denim fabric in a jean style, and button downs are a must for this fall,”
said Turner. Invest in a thick denim shirt. You can dress this up or down-- either way it looks cool. I once saw someone wear a denim button down with a suit, but he had a rocking beard and long hair. He killed it, but be careful— it wouldn’t work on everyone. A denim jacket rocks too. Try it on, you may hate it or you may feel like one of the Rolling Stones. Anything could happen. Something to remember before throwing on every piece of denim you own is this: Justin Timberlake at the 2001 American Music Awards. Google it. Boots: “Boots, boots and more boots,” said Turner. Yes, that means you can still wear your cowboy or work boots. But don’t only wear those. Boots give you a chance to give your tennis shoes a rest, so don’t be afraid to change it up. A pair of Duck Boots can add an element of refinement while still maintaining that outdoorsy edge. Lace up a traditional pair of Oxford boots, roll up your pants a little bit and kill it. Put on a pair of Chelsea boots and people will begin to ask if you’re from around here. No matter what, add your own spin. Dress them up or down.

Your shoes can say a lot about you, so say it right. Jackets: Your North Face and Patagonia jackets are cool, but you can do better. Invest in a durable army green jacket. It looks great, keeps you warm and comfortable and goes with almost anything. A brown suede or leather jacket with Sherpa wool on the collar gives a cool retro vibe to any casual outfit. If you’re looking for another way to channel your inner badass, look no further than a black or dark brown biker jacket. Combine your favorite pair of jeans or khakis, a cool t-shirt, shades and some of those boots we just talked about. You might just get a call from the Sons of Anarchy. According to Garner Hickman of Hinton & Hinton, “You can always take it off, but it’s a great way to tie everything together.” Accessories: Yeah, I said it. Accessories. It’s the most forgotten and ill-used item in a man’s wardrobe. And no, I don’t necessarily mean bracelets and necklaces (although those can really look great when done right.) For starters, wear a watch. It doesn’t have to be a Rolex.
A subdued black or white-faced silver watch at any price point really looks great and conveys a message of maturity and professionalism. Always have a cool pair of shades on deck. I usually stick to lighter shades for the summer and dark brown or black shades for the winter. Also, make sure to always have a black and brown belt that goes with a majority of your shoes, especially in the winter, since you are wearing a lot of button downs and pants. For men, belts are splurge items. An inexpensive-looking belt can really bring down an otherwise killer ensemble. A few nice genuine leather or alligator belts really do add an element of refinement and will go with you for the long haul. Also, just to set the record straight in terms of shoes and belts, black goes with black and brown goes with brown. White shoes call for a black belt. Always wear black, brown or tan socks in accordance with the formality of the event. Leave your white socks at the gym. Time to retire… Chubbies. A pale winter thigh isn’t attracting anyone at any event this fall.

FIt’s the last game day already?! Hot dog! Or should I say ‘corn dog’? LSU is on their way to our beloved Grove, and it is time for us to prepare. In the tradition of southern hospitality, we should make the LSU fans feel right at home with a delicious spread of corn dogs. That’s right— corn dogs. Here are a couple recipes that will score big points with any crowd. Mini corn dog muffins are conveniently bite-size and very easy to make if you are in a pinch. All ages will adore these marvelous mini muffs. You will need: ½ cup melted butter ½ cup sugar 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 cup cornmeal 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt 8-10 all-beef hot dogs, cut into 1 inch bites Preheat the oven to 375 F. Next, combine the butter and sugar in a bowl with a whisk. Then add the eggs to the mixture and combine. Add the buttermilk. After all the ingredients are combined, grab a second bowl. In this bowl combine the baking soda, cornmeal, flour and salt. Take the wet ingredients and whisk into the dry ingredients. Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray then spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into
each mini muffin cup. Next, put one hot dog piece into the middle of each cup. Place the tin in the oven for about 8-12 minutes or until the muffins appear golden brown. This recipe makes about 48 mini muffins. This next recipe is one for all those breakfast lovers out there. Pancake Batter Dogs will make any breakfast fan cheer. You will need: 2 dozen small maple pork breakfast sausages 24 wooden popsicle sticks or skewers 1 box of pancake batter Canola oil First, cook the sausages. After the sausages cool, skewer them on the popsicle sticks. Grab a medium pot and add few inches of canola oil in the bottom. Heat the canola oil until it is hot, but not smoking. While waiting for the oil to heat up, follow the instructions on the box to make the pancake batter. Next, take each sausage and dip it into the batter. Hold the sausage by the stick and roll it in the batter until it is completely coated. Dip the sausages into the oil, turn as necessary, and cook until deep golden. They usually take about one full minute to cook completely. To be safe, cook only about two or three at a time. After they appear to be golden brown, take them out of the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve these tasty pancake treats with a side of maple syrup and they will surely be a crowd favorite. This recipe makes about 24 servings. Gluten-free corn dogs will ensure that every guest can enjoy a
bite from your Game Day buffet. Made with gluten-free ingredients, guests will appreciate your considerate Grove menu.
You will need: ½ cup corn flour or masa harina 3/8 cup rice flour 3/8 cup tapioca starch 1 ½ tsp. sugar 1 ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. salt 1 ¼ cup buttermilk 1 large egg Gluten-free hot dogs Popsicle sticks Grab a medium bowl and whisk together the corn flour, rice flour, tapioca starch, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg, then whisk into the dry mix. Fill a wide, heavy pot with a couple inches of canola oil and heat to about 350-375 F. Cut the hot dogs in half and skewer onto the popsicle sticks. Douse the hot dogs in rice flour and then coat them completely in the corn flour batter. Place only two at a time in the hot oil and cook for about on minute, occasionally turning them. When they appear to be golden brown, place them on paper towels to drain. This recipe makes about 12 corn dogs. Who doesn’t love pretzels? This Pretzel Dog recipe combines the salty goodness of pretzels with the juicy goodness of hot dogs. Impress your guests with this twist on the classic corn dog.
You will need: 2 (.25 ounce) dry packages active yeast 2 ½ teaspoons white sugar 2 cups warm water 8 cups water 2 cups warm milk ½ cup of vegetable oil 1 ½ teaspoons salt 10 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 packages of hot dogs ¼ cup course kosher salt In a small bowl, sprinkle the sugar and the yeast over the two cups of warm water. Let this stand for about 20 minutes until the yeast is softened and a creamy foam is formed. Next, combine the yeast mixture with the oil, salt and warm milk in a large bowl. After this is completely combined, stir in half of the flour until no dry spots remain. One cup at a time, mix in the remaining flour, and stir well until fully combined. Then, when the dough has pulled together, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic. Next, spray a large bowl with non-stick spray, add the dough in and turn to coat the dough. After wrapping the dough in plastic wrap, allow it to rise until doubled in volume, for about 45 minutes. Once the dough has risen, fill a large pot with eight cups of water, salt and baking soda. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat. While the water is heating up, cut the dough into twenty pieces. Each piece, about the size of a golf ball,

should be rolled into a 12-inch long rope. Now preheat the oven to 375 F. and spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray. With tongs, dip each strip of dough into the boiling water, count to five, and then place on a paper towel for a few seconds. Then wrap the strip around a hot dog, add a dash of salt and place on the baking sheet. Repeat this process with each strip of dough. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. This recipe makes about 20 servings. End Grove season with a bang! These fun and easy corn dog recipes will bring some comedic relief to your wistful Grove tent guests. This Grove season has been one to remember, and these recipes will make sure that your guests will never forger your scrumptious Game Day buffet.

From farm to table to Oxford: the home-grown movement CAROLINE CALLAWAY cdcallaw@go.olemiss.edu
In Mississippi, a hub of Southern culture, food tends to be good for the soul but not necessarily good for the body. Oxford is no exception, but as the city continues to grow, the food scene in town is evolving and many new establishments rely significantly on the idea of fresh food with a local atmosphere. Recently, what has been termed “the local food movement” has become more popular on a national scale. The local food movement grows out of the desire to know from whence one’s food comes. The movement encourages a person to become more personal with his or her food in terms of knowing who grows it and how it gets to them. The concept of “farm to table” is often appealing because local farmers may not use as many chemicals as commercial farming corporations who have to use more chemicals to keep food fresh during transport. People also like the idea of supporting local farmers and businesses to give back to their own community. “I love to buy and eat locally,” Shelby Pack, senior English major, said. “Not only is it healthier and usually cheaper, I am helping my community. I know where my money is going, and I know it’s going to benefit (both) me and my community.” According to Jeffery Peavy with the Mississippi Sustainable Agriculture Network, 85 percent of the food grown in Mississippi is exported, whereas 90 percent of the food that the state buys is produced outside of Mississippi. Some local restaurants, particularly newer ones, are doing their best to contradict those numbers by sourcing food locally— finding places to get produce, protein, etc. in or as close to Oxford as possible. Wilson Hood, co-owner of neighboring restaurants South Depot Taco Shop, which opened in 2011, and Greenline, a new salad and wrap restaurant, believes the “health trend,” or the desire people have to eat food that is on the fresher side, will

Sessums caters to the late night crowd at Jones at Home from around 11 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Even more locally centered than the menu and experience of YoknapaTaco is the name, which is a play on the fictitious county of Yoknapatawpha where many of William Faulkner’s stories take place. Yoknapatawpha, based on Oxford is frequently recognized and cherished by the Oxford community. “We wanted (the name) to be something that tied into Oxford. We want this to be a local Oxford truck,” Sessums said. “There are two ways to look at the name and the way it works. One is that people get it and understand the literary reference. They think it’s clever. For people who don’t get it, it allows us to have a dialogue, to talk it out and explain it.” It doesn’t seem like there is any sign of this local food trend coming to an end. New establishments are taking on these same ideas of focusing on fresh food in a local atmosphere. Shelter is set to open this fall in the space below Neilson’s department store on Van Buren Ave., a historic landmark in Oxford. Lee Bowie, owner of Cups, said the name came from a combination of things, including how the space was used for a storm shelter in previous years. He wanted the venue to be a place of refuge for customers. Shelter will feature craft beers from Mississippi and surrounding areas as well as local art and a space for live music. By emphasizing freshness and locality through food, these restaurant owners are keeping up with national trends while inspiring people to support their community.

I grew up in a sleepy town where the air is humid, food is fried and the same families have reserved pews in the First Baptist Church for decades. The cicadas sing every night at dusk and lightnin’ bugs play hide-and-seek among the oaks and pines jutting outside of the city limits. It’s a small Southern dream town where fall congregates around football, food and family— the trifecta of living. What’s unique about Picayune, Mississippi is we’re located right on the border of the Louisiana/Mississippi state line. I’ve always considered our town a melting pot of the best of Southern culture the embracing arms of Mississippi combined with the bois-

When I call Ole Miss home, I feel it with my entire being. I couldn’t imagine being on a fairground instead of in the Grove on game day mornings. I don’t want a massive concrete structure like Death Valley, because I prefer the coziness of our Vaught-Hemingway.

Denzel Nkemdiche hospitalized, will miss Saturday’s game COLLIN BRISTER
thedmsports@gmail.com
Starting linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche is in the hospital and will remain there. According to a joint statement from Nkemdiche’s parents, Beverly and Sunday Nkemdiche, and head coach Hugh Freeze, Nkemdiche will not play in Saturday’s game against LSU. “Denzel’s condition has improved as of today, and he will remain in the hospital. His wellbeing is all that matters right now, and we are making sure he receives the
highest level of medical care. While his condition is not life-threatening, he will not play this weekend. We thank the Ole Miss family for their concern and encouragement, and we appreciate everyone respecting the family’s privacy during this time.” Nkemdiche has started at linebacker for four years for the Rebels. Nkemdiche will be absent from the senior night activities that will proceed the contest vs. LSU. Nkemdiche leads the team in tackles with 53 tackles, including 6.5 tackles for loss.
Four Downs: LSU Sports editor Collin Brister (CollinBrister), NewsWatch 99 station manager (@browningstubbs), and football writer Cody Thomason (@thecodythomason)
Will Leonard Fournette bounce back this week after two atypical performances against Alabama and Arkansas, respectively? Cody Thomason: I think Fournette should have a bounce back game and look a little more like his normal self this week. The Rebels have done pretty well in run defense this season, playing very well in that area against Arkansas and Alabama. However, Fournette has been bottled up the last two weeks, and him getting shut down three weeks in a row seems unlikely. Browning Stubbs- I expect Fournette to bounce back after his lackluster performances. I think he’ll have over 100 yards. With Ole Miss not having senior Denzel Nkemdiche, I think Fournette will have over 100 yards on the Rebels. Collin Brister: I think Fournette, for a lack of a better phrase, “gone get his.” After two performances that aren’t usual for Fournette, I think he’ll have a bounce-back game and rush for over 150 yards. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you’re the Rebels, since most of LSU’s offense goes through Fournette.
Will Ole Miss’ secondary improve from their last performance against Arkansas? Cody Thomason: There’s nowhere to go but up for the Ole Miss pass defense, since Arkansas dismantled the Rebel secondary. LSU will likely do some similar things with a play-action heavy passing offense, but Ole Miss should have learned a few things to slow that down. LSU is not as good passing as Arkansas, and if the Rebels can stop the deep ball they should be fine. Browning Stubbs-There’s only one way to go for the Ole Miss secondary. After Brandon Allen torched Ole Miss two weeks ago, I think they’ll have a much better performance this week. LSU”s passing game isn’t as good as Arkansas, and Brandon Harris is the lesser of the Brandons as Brandon Allen is a much better passer. Collin Brister: I believe the performance against Arkansas was somewhat an anomaly, and I don’t think Brandon Harris is near as good as Brandon Allen. I think Ole Miss’ secondary will have a better game and limit Brandon Harris to completing the deep ball.

With this game being senior day and the last time a lot of players will play together, does that bring any extra motivation? Cody Thomason: I think any senior day will bring a little extra intensity to the game from the graduating players. C.J. Johnson, Mike Hilton, Cody Core, Trae Elston, Woodrow Hamilton and the rest of the Ole Miss seniors should have a little extra fire in them playing their final game in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The seniors will want to go out on a high note with an upset at home. Browning: Senior night will always bring extra motivation. I think with senior Denzel Nkemdiche missing the game, that will bring even more motivation for the team. The realization that this is the last time they will step on Vaught-Hemingway together will inspire the Rebels. Collin Brister: When you look at the seniors of this class, it’s a class that changed the Ole Miss football program. You look at guys like C.J. Johnson, Aaron Morris, Justin Bell, Denzel Nkemdiche, Collins Moore, Chief Brown and Woodrow Hamilton who went through the 2-10 season in 2011, and how they’ve helped change how this program is viewed nationally. I think the realization that this is it for them at Vaught-Heminway will inspire them, along with the other seniors.

How will Ole Miss’ offense perform after, arguably, their most complete performance against Arkansas? Cody Thomason: The Ole Miss offense has been rejuvenated ever since Laremy Tunsil re-entered the lineup, and they should continue playing well this week. The Rebels have been better running the ball recently and have still maintained a dangerous passing attack. Chad Kelly should follow up his tremendous game against Arkansas with another good performance. Browning Stubbs: I don’t believe that Ole Miss will score as many points, but I do believe that the Rebels will be just as efficient. Ole Miss will face a tougher defense— as many points, but playing tougher defense. I think Ole Miss scores in the 28-35 range, and Chad Kelly has another solid performance. Collin Brister: I think Ole Miss will be just as good. I think that Chad Kelly is the best quarterback in the SEC, and I think that’s a huge factor in the success of the Ole Miss offense. The Rebels were very successful through the air against Arkansas, and LSU’s secondary isn’t much better. I think Ole Miss scores 30-35. 723 North Lamar Blvd. Next to Snackbar

SEC Pick’em
Sports editor Collin Brister and Sports writer Brian Rippee pick the SEC games for this weekend.
MISSISSIPPI STATE AT ARKANSAS 6 P.M. ESPN
LSU AT OLE MISS 2:30 Collin Brister: This is it for the Rebels. This game is their legacy. That might not be fair, but neither is life. I saw that on a high school poster one time. I think Ole Miss is better than LSU at this point, and I know they have the better quarterback. Leonard Fournette poses a problem, but I think Ole Miss will come out victorious. Prediction: Ole Miss 34 LSU 31 Brian Rippee: Two teams are down and looking to get back up. LSU has hit the meat of their schedule and not handled it well, so far. Ole Miss will contain Fournette (to a degree) and expose LSU as being one-dimensional. Earlier this week, Les Miles said The Vaught is not a tough environnment to play in. Well, he’s about to lose for the third time in his last four trips. Prediction: Ole Miss 35 LSU 20
Collin Brister: Outside of Ole Miss and LSU, this is the first game that wouldn’t put me to sleep. A week after getting trounced by Alabama, the Bulldogs will have to go to Fayetteville and take on a hot Arkansas team. Brandon Allen will pick State’s defense apart. Prediction: Arkansas 38 Mississippi State 27 Brian Rippee: Bret Bielema has the Razorbacks rolling. The Hogs are coming off back to back road wins at Ole Miss and LSU. Alex Collins is running behind a monstrosity of and offensive line Brandon Allen has thrown seven touchdowns in his last two games with only one pick. Alabama exposed how bad States’ offensive line was last week, and I think Arkansas’s front four will do the same. Prediction: Arkansas 35 Mississippi State 17
TEXAS A&M AT VANDERBILT SEC NETWORK 6:30 P.M. Collin Brister: Vanderbilt hasn’t quit on their season. Texas A&M has quit on their season. The Aggies aren’t very good, and are somehow a seven-point favorite in this game. I don’t think Vanderbilt is very good, but they’ll keep the Aggies in the game. The Aggies’ talent will shine in the end. Prediction: Texas A&M 24 Vanderbilt 23 Prediction: Texas A&M 24 Vanderbilt 23 Brian Rippee: The wheels have fallen off for Kevin Sumlin’s Aggies and Vanderbilt continues to improve each week under Derrick Mason. A&M will struggle against an underrated Vanderbilt defense and the Dores will get their third SEC win. Prediction: Texas A&M 17 Vanderbilt 20
