Oxford schools order lockdown, automobile thief caught BY THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN AND NEWSWATCH STAFF The Daily Mississippian

Oxford High School principal Michael Martin uses a handheld radio to coordinate activities with teachers following the lockdown at the school. The school was placed on lockdown after a burglary suspect who was fleeing from police briefly entered the school.

Some parents of Oxford High School students are pushing for stronger on-site security after a burglary suspect entered the school as he fled from police Wednesday. An Oxford police officer attempted to stop a stolen pickup truck carrying two burglary suspects on the Square at 12:35 p.m., but the vehicle fled eastbound on Jackson Avenue, according to police. The driver tried to escape the officer by driving off-road near Jackson Square Condominiums and crashed into a group of trees. The officer on the scene apprehended one of the two burglary suspects after they fled on foot, but as of Wednesday evening, the other remains at large. Oxford police said one of the suspects entered the high school during the pursuit, but did not remain on the premises, running through one door and out another. OHS was then placed on lockdown at approximately 12:45 p.m, said Oxford High School principal Michael Martin, during which students and faculty remained in offices, classrooms and athletic facilities. Students were able to safely return to their classes around 1:55 p.m., but Michelle Farrow, mother of two OHS students, said the measures currently taken to protect the high school are not strong enough.

“We need closer security at this school,” Farrow said, adding that the suspect would not have been able to enter the school had it been monitored by one of the school’s on-site resource officers. Farrow’s daughters, Gabrielle and Keiettia Alford, were in different areas of the school when the lockdown began, but said rumors quickly circulated about students who had seen a man running down the hallway bleeding. Gabrielle, 15, said she was eating lunch in the cafeteria when she and her classmates were told to stop eating and sit against the wall. Keilettia, 17, was in class, but was able to briefly see her sister through a window. Farrow headed to the high school after receiving a text message about the lockdown from Keilettia, but said she was not immediately given an answer as to what happened or what preventative measures were in place to keep it from happening again. Martin said OHS faculty and staff followed all necessary lockdown procedures to keep students safe; approximately 1,000 people were on the premises at the time. Other Oxford schools were placed on lockdown by district administration shortly after. Oxford Police Chief Mike Martin said information about the suspect in custody will be released pending formal charges. Amelia Camurati, Maggie Day, Lance Ingram, Gerard Manogin and Alex McDaniel contributed to this story.

City Looks For Ways to Improve Traffic, Parking on Square BY DANIEL HILL Special to the DM

As the University of Mississippi’s student population continues to increase, parking and traffic will become more of an issue on and around the Oxford Square. At first glance, the problem could be attributed to rapid growth in the city of Oxford. However, city planner Tim Akers says the “growth” is due to recent annexation. Akers said he admits the numbers can be misleading. “You would think that the population increased by 22 percent or something like that, when in reality, if you took out the 5,000 people we annexed,

we would have very modest growth,” Akers said. With Oxford population growth ruled out, a more likely cause for the Square’s traffic woes appears to be increasing enrollment at the University, which currently stands at more than 15,000 on the Oxford campus. Ryan Osborne, an employee of YaYa’s Frozen Yogurt, said he believes the rise in enrollment is the cause. “I know for a fact that because the University has been growing, more people are moving into the town, there’s obviously going to be a correlation (with traffic),” Osborne said. Proud Larry’s kitchen manager Chris LeFevre said he

agrees, and that the increase in enrollment will lead to higher attendance at football games and ultimately more traffic. “As the university population goes up, there’s going to be more people going to the games, more traffic around the Square and more problems,” LeFevre said. Oxford city officials are looking for solutions to the parking problem, including possible construction of a parking garage or the introduction of paid parking on the Square. Akers, a member of the Downtown Parking Committee, said the city is taking applications from parking management firms that can design a downtown parking plan.

Osborne said he supports the installation of parking meters on the Square because he believes the current two-hour parking rule is inconvenient. “I hate two-hour parking, especially when working here,” he said. “It’s just hard to have to park on the Square and have to run back to your car every two hours.” LeFevre thinks a parking garage would be good for the Square, but not parking meters. “I don’t know how much that will help,” he said. “It would keep some people from parking in spots when they don’t have the money to pay, but I don’t really want to pay for a parking spot.”

Point Not Taken BY JENNIFER NASSAR Columnist

I am sure that everyone knows Pro-Life Mississippi protested abortion on campus Tuesday. If you managed to miss the van plastered with pictures of aborted fetuses and the screaming preachers outside the Union, in the Circle and even on Jackson Ave. by late afternoon, consider yourself lucky. I believe the organization failed to both meet their point and to show that they’re a Christian group. I was very upset and disgusted with how they represented themselves. This has nothing to do with my personal beliefs on the subject but it does have everything to do with the way the subject was presented and forced down our throats.

A protester told a friend of mine that he was going to hell for supporting a woman’s right to choose. If you claim to be a Christian organization, then you should know that it is not up to you whether a person goes to hell or not, nor is it your place to judge anyone. If you want to protest, then go ahead, you have every right to, but if you want the support of students on a college campus, judging them for their beliefs is going to do nothing except make you look ignorant and make us fight back. I understand freedom of speech, but in certain circumstances, you might want to be careful about what you say. Everyone having their own opin-

ion is a condition of all protests. However, I felt that our visitors could have handled it differently. If you are going to be protesting on our campus, then you need to respect our views, just as we respect yours. I am willing to bet that students who disagreed with the views of the protestors were not disrespectful before they were judged. Go ahead and defend your opinion. That is key to a successful debate or protest, but do not take aim at us as if we are criminals. In addition, what was with those posters? I really could have gone without seeing those. I understand if they were try-

ing to show the horrors of abortion, but I just feel that it was too much. The only accomplishment of the day was them looking like idiots and a lot of students losing their appetites. I would have liked to see the protest go about in a civil matter. It would have been more interesting in a positive way if they weren’t forcing their beliefs down our throats. I was glad to see students expressing and defending themselves to the protesters, no matter what their beliefs and opinions on the subject. To put it simply, in the words of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.”

Letter to the Editor To the Editor: Lexi Thoman addresses an important topic in her column on voting and voter apathy. However, there is a further source of voter apathy which she has not addressed but which is implicit in her formulation of the election process. She writes that her conversation with her non-voting friend was over the election in which Obama defeated McCain. We should also keep in mind that Obama defeated a number of third-party and indeT H E

pendent candidates, most of whom the vast majority of eligible voters could not have named, much less described their platforms. This observation may seem a bit old hat, but I feel compelled to bring it up simply because the false bifurcation between Republican and Democrat is one that both parties feed because both parties benefit from it. Thoman’s friend argues for the candidate that would have made a better president than Obama rather than the candidate that best

represented his political views, a candidate that may or may not have been McCain. Many non-voters feel apathetic because they are presented with a situation in which they “must” choose the lesser of two evils rather than a candidate they actually agree with on a majority of issues. This is because we have sacrificed to the golden god of pragmatism the belief that we can make a difference if we vote outside the mainstream. Ironically, in resigning ourselves to making pragmatic choices for

Oxford Conference for the Book to begin on Thursday

COURTESY OF OXFORD CONFERENCE FOR THE BOOK

BY TAYLOR SMITH & JAKE THOMPSON The Daily Mississippian

A group of University of Mississippi English students are looking to steal the show for the Oxford Conference for the Book this weekend. The conference, which is in its 19th year, starts Thursday and runs through Saturday. “It turns out that this year, 2011, is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible,” said Ann Abadie, associate director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture and coordinator of the conference. There will be a panel discussion on Saturday at 11 a.m. titled “The King James Bible at 400.” Sitting on the panel will be noted author on southern religion Charles Reagan Wilson, and coeditor of the book “The King James Bible after 400 Years,” Norman W. Jones. Also on Saturday, English students will take the stage at 10 a.m. at the Overby Center with a presentation of “Text and Technologies.” With the help of Gregory Heyworth, associate professor of the English Department, the students are using state-of-the-art technology, which includes a high-powered digital camera used to recover and restore two of the libraries most valuable collections. One is called the Skipwith Papers, Revolutionary War correspondence between General Nathanael Greene and a series of other Revolutionary War luminaries including George Washington. The second is the Wynn-Faulkner collection

that contains literary works from Oxford native William Faulkner. “The collection contains letters of Faulkner but it also contains some poems which have never been published and basically no scholar has never seen before,” Heyworth said. “They were damaged in the 40s by fire in the attic of Phil Stone, who was Faulkner’s good friend.” One poem Heyworth and his group have found might have something very special hidden on its pages. “What we are looking at is a couple of poems, one in particular is called Michael, and the students

are going to be talking about various aspects of a possible collaboration or commentary on not just the poem but the writing in the margins,” Heyworth said. Marie Wicks, a senior at Ole Miss has been working very hard on the project for quite some time. “This past summer I got to travel with Dr. Heyworth to Dresden, Germany with two other students and we were initially exposed to this project and using this technology to unveil ancient manuscripts, so it’s really neat to bring it back to Mississippi and see what possibilities there are for this technology.” Wicks said For Devon Emig, another senior working on the project, this is her first experience with the technology. “I love that we are able to take things from Special Archives and do things with them to try and bring out aspects that really haven’t been looked at because they are such old manuscripts.” Emig said. Another major event at the conference this year will be the Literature for Young Readers sessions. The sessions originated from the Junior Auxiliary of Oxford who started bringing in authors to speak to fifth-grade students in Oxford. They approached Abadie to incorporate their author visits into the conference. “When the Ford Center was built, we finally had a space large enough for all the fifth graders in the county,” Abadie said. To enhance the experience for the students, the Junior Auxiliary purchased each student a copy of the author’s book. “It was so wonderful because some of the students had never

owned a book of their own, let alone met an author,” Abadie said. A few years after the incorporation of the fifth-grade reading, a reading for ninth-grade students was added as well. This year authors Jon and Pamela Voelkel will be speaking to the fifth-graders about their book “Middleworld,” and Ally Condie will be speaking to the ninth-graders about her book “Matched.” This year will also host a session on graphic books — a first for the convention. Moderated by Jack Pendarvis, the session will feature Joyce Farmer, Michael Kupperman and Joe Matt. Joyce Farmer is the author of a book “Special Exits,” a graphic novel about the care of her elderly parents and is now a finalist for the Graphic Novel of the Year award. The “Comic Book Auteurs” will be Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. A session called “Writing about Sports” Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. will be moderated by Tom Oliphant and will feature journalists Rick Cleveland of the Clarion-Ledger, Wil Haygood of the Washington Post and Wright Thompson of ESPN. Abadie encouraged all students to attend the conference. The Oxford Conference for the Book begins this Thursday with

a luncheon at the J.D. Williams Library at 11:30 a.m. with the official welcome by Chancellor Dan Jones at the Overby Center at 1:30 p.m. Abadie said the original idea for the Oxford Conference for the Book came from Richard Howorth, owner of Square Books, in the late 1980s. After the renovation of Barnard Observatory in 1992, home of the Southern studies department, the first conference was planned. “We charged people to attend (the first conference), but we didn’t want to do that,” Abadie said. “So we started writing grants.” The original intent for the conference was to provide a venue to discuss topics such as freedom of speech, the publishing process and other writing/book related topics. “Then in 1999 Eudora Welty had her 90th birthday, and we decided we would dedicate the conference to her at 90,” Abadie said. The next year Willie Morris died, and it was decided to dedicate the conference to him. This is the first year since 1999 that the conference has not been dedicated to an individual. “Last year was the first time we dedicated it to someone who was still alive – Barry Hannah,” Abadie said. “Then, the Monday before the conference, he died.”

In no particular order: music films

PHOTO COURTESY OF MOVIEART.NET

BY JOSH BREEDEN The Daily Mississippian

Music is inherently dependent on the visual. The best rockumentaries and concert films form an unobstructed connection between fan and musician, unveiling the mystery that shrouds studio recordings while somewhat stripping the creator of his or her stylized public persona. With that in mind, I have compiled a list of the 5 of the most compelling music films ever produced. 1 - “I Am Trying To Break Your Heart,” 2002, Sam Jones Filmed during the making of Wilco’s monumental “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” Jones’s piece captures the band at a creative crossroads, staving off inner turmoil and label pressure as they record what will become a renowned statement of artistic will. Visually, the film jumps off the screen in razor sharp black and white with blasts of overexposed light from night lit Chicago street signs, and the Loft’s sheer window treatments periodically flood the lens.

Key Moment: In an outtake, Jeff Tweedy and key collaborator Jay Bennett play a stripped down version of “Cars Can’t Escape.” Tweedy strums and sings with Bennet accompanying on piano, a rare moment for the two as the film essentially depicts the final decay of their personal and professional relationship. Bennett died in 2009, his differences with Tweedy still unresolved. 2 - “Monterey Pop,” 1968, D.A. Pennebaker D.A. Pennebaker’s concert film, shot on location at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June 1967, is widely said to feature the dawning of the counterculture movement. The Who, The Mamas and the Papas, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Country Joe and the Fish are only a few of the numerous acts who take the stage during this nonstop procession of soon-to-be 60s icons. The gritty, intimate concert footage photographed by Pennebaker established the blueprint for many

subsequent concert films, including Michael Wadleigh’s “Woodstock.” Key Moment: Big Brother and the Holding Company, fronted by a relatively unknown Janis Joplin, takes the stage and rips off a blood curdling version of “Ball and Chain.” The camera pans from stage to crowd during the song’s final moments, focusing on an awestruck Mama Cass Elliot who turns to a fellow audience member and comments, “that’s heavy.” 3 - “Rattle and Hum,” 1988, Phil Joanou The film, offered as a companion to U2‘s sixth album of the same name, received mixed reviews upon its release. Many critics found an aura of arrogance permeated the film, as if the post-punk Irishmen had lifted themselves among lofty company. Bono and crew do indeed set their sights high, attempting ambitious covers such as the Fab Four’s “Helter Skelter” and Hendrix’s version of “All Along the Watchtower.” But despite some of the film’s more contrived situations (Bono practicing with a children’s gospel choir) and superficial social leanings, the intensity of the live performances shown during its 98 minute runtime cannot be denied. “Rattle and Hum” is most certainly an early, triumphant depiction of U2’s now infamous stadium shows. Key Moment: During the November 8, 1988 show at McNichols Arena in Denver, Bono goes on a

her. “Good lord, good lord, the one I adore and cannot afford is a ghost, she’s ghost,” Jack sings, his voice faltering. The scene cuts with Meg falling into Jack’s embrace.

4 - “The White Stripes Under Great Northern Lights,” 2009, Emmett Malloy A little over a month ago, Jack and Meg called it quits to “preserve what is beautiful” about The White Stripes legacy. For many fans, however, this announcement was not surprising due to the band’s extended inactivity and, in part, to Malloy’s film. The duo’s last tour, an icy jaunt through Canada chronicled in “Northern Lights,” featured a powerful, yet burnt out White Stripes. Meg’s stage anxiety seems to gradually intrude on her personal life as the film progresses, leaving Jack both concerned and angry with her crippling apprehension. On a lighter note, the two do perform a series of entertaining minishows throughout. At one point, Jack and Meg commandeer a small tug, playing an impromptu version of Muddy Water’s “Catfish Blues” atop its bow while showcasing the innocence that affords them an internal youthfulness that makes them The White Stripes. Key Moment: The final scene. Post final tour stop, Jack sits down at the piano and serenades Meg with “White Moon.” Beside him on the bench, Meg begins to cry at his words so obviously written about

5 - “Don’t Look Back,” 1967, D.A. Pennebaker The greatest rockumentary ever made, “Don’t Look Back” details Bob Dylan’s 1965 tour of the United Kingdom. Pennebaker depicts a fiery mid60’s Dylan, fed up with the static folk scene and on the cusp of transitioning to the electric sound present during the “Highway 61 Revisited” era. The film boasts quite a cast of guest stars including Dylan’s fading flame Joan Baez, beat poet Allen Ginsberg, lighthearted English songwriter Donovan, Cream drummer Ginger Baker and former Animals keyboardist Alan Price. As it progresses, “Don’t Look Back” transforms thematically, from an in depth tour log of sorts into a tale of alienation as young Dylan abandons his affected, folk roots in search of something more than art. Key Moment: Time Magazine UK correspondent Horace Freeland Judson sits down with Dylan before a show at Royal Albert Hall and unexpectedly suffers a barrage of insults aimed at he and his journalistic colleagues. After being asked if he “cares about what he’s saying,” Dylan responds, “how can I answer that if you’ve got the nerve to ask me; you got a lot of nerve asking a question like that. Do you ask the Beatles that?”

Transfer to Ole Miss pays off for Gleadall BY KAITLYN DUBOSE The Daily Mississippian

COURTESY OF UM ATHLETICS

Most high school seniors have a difficult enough time choosing a college without having to decide from a different country. But Natalie Gleadall, a junior on the Ole Miss women’s golf team, had just that problem. “It was hard to know where to go since I was from Canada,” Gleadall said. The Canadian had another problem – where would be the best place for her to play golf at the collegiate level? In high school, Gleadall’s high school golf career included a top20 finish at the Royale Canadian Junior Championship. She also competed in the Canadian Women’s Amateur. Nevertheless, Gleadall had difficulty gaining recognition stateside. Eventually, Gleadall made it from her home town of Stratford, Ontario, to the University of Nebraska, but soon decided it was not the place for her. After seeing the Rebels play in a tournament, Gleadall thought the Ole Miss coaches and team was more what she was looking

Softball splits double-header with Ark. BY MATT SIGLER The Daily Mississippian

The Ole Miss softball team split a pair of Southeastern Conference games with Arkansas at home on Wednesday night, winning the first 4-3 and losing the second 7-6. In the first game, a late afternoon affair, the Lady Rebels (1122, 1-7 SEC) were hot at the plate, and posted four runs on ten hits.

Ole Miss held a comfortable 4-0 lead until the Razorbacks Jennifer Rambo hit a three-run homer in the final inning that cut the lead to 4-3. The Lady Rebels nevertheless pulled out the win behind 1-2 punch of senior pitchers Lindsey Perry and Brittany Barnhill. In game two, the Rebels found it easy to get runners on base, but struggled to get a clutch hit. Ole Miss stranded a total of eight batters in the first three innings of the

game. The Lady Rebels fell behind 7-2 after six innings, but the team rallied to score four runs in the sixth behind of the power of junior Cali Overbeck’s two-run homer. The Ole Miss rally fell short with a groundout with two Rebels on base in the seventh. Next up for the Lady Rebels is a trip to Auburn, Ala. on Friday for a three-game series with the Tigers.

for. “We just have a better team chemistry than my old team,” Gleadall said. “The girls are really hard-working and the coaches really care.” After transferring from Nebraska, Gleadall had a difficult time adjusting to Ole Miss both on and off the course. Gleadall transferred the spring semester of her sophomore year, and found a mid-year transfer was a complicated task. Gleadall also found that her golf game was also affected by the stress of the move. “It was kind of a culture shock,” Gleadall said. “It’s hard to get used to the school fast enough because golf starts right when you get here.” But after getting used to Oxford and with the help of a swing coach, Gleadall’s game began to improve. Gleadall’s 72.83 stroke average was 5.57 shots lower than it was when she left Nebraska. She improved so much that the Rebels were not the only ones to take notice of her. Golf Digest named Gleadall the magazine’s Mid-Season Most Improved women’s college player. “I just worked really hard on

my game last year,” Gleadall said. “I just fought through some hard times and played really well last semester.” Gleadall said the biggest adjustment from Nebraska to Ole Miss was the difference between the Big 12 and the Southeastern Conference – an elite conference for women’s golf. “That doesn’t happen in any other conference,” Gleadall said. “Playing golf in the SEC for women is pretty much the best you can do.” Despite the Rebels’ on-thecourse struggles this semester, Gleadall said the Rebels have done well. “We’ve been in some really strong fields,” Gleadall said. “We all work really, really hard. It’s a tough game.” Next up for the team is the Rebel Intercollegiate Tournament, and after that is the SEC Championship. Gleadall said the Lady Rebels will be ready. “We are excited to play our home course,” Gleadall said of the Rebel tournament. “We have a big advantage out here so the greens are tricky so we can get out and play and get used to it.”

Norberg’s career nears its end BY JOHN HOLT The Daily Mississippian

Ole Miss men’s tennis coach Billy Chadwick said Tuesday that he knew when he received a commitment from Uppsala, Sweden native Kalle Norberg over five years ago, he knew he had snagged a special recruit. At times it was unclear where Norberg would play in the Rebels’ lineup, how he would fit in with his newly acquainted teammates and how he would react in a clutch match situation. Today, it’s evident that all those uncertainties can be dismissed. “When (Norberg) is playing his best and he’s starting to, he’s one of the top players in the nation,” Chadwick said. “He’s the difference in us being a good team and a great team.” As a six-year-old, Norberg began his tennis career, though not on a typical hard outdoor court, but rather by playing table tennis. At age 11, Norberg shifted his focus toward the sport he’s known for today. With determination and drive, Norberg began winning. He even earned himself a No. 2 ranking in the Sweden boys Under 18 Division. When he first arrived at Ole Miss in January of 2007, his presence became immediately known as he went on to earn All-Southeastern Conference, and posted a 22-2 dual match record his freshman season. “The whole system, practicing, going to school, playing for a team were all the biggest

adjustments,” Norberg said of his arrival to Oxford and the United States. “I got along with all my teammates. We all became friends on and off the court. “They really took care of me and I loved it from day one.” Norberg’s junior season ended up being both his personal best and his team’s most productive year during his career. During that 2009 season, he helped lead the Rebels to the NCAA Elite Eight, an SEC Regular Season Championship, an SEC Tournament Championship and their eighth straight SEC West Title. Individually, he was the only SEC player to go undefeated during league play, and was rewarded by being selected as the conference tournament’s MVP. “To be honest, it doesn’t mean a whole lot,” Norberg said when asked about the 2009 SEC Tournament MVP award. “I think the most important thing that year was the way that everyone played and how we fought all year.” Norberg has been a dominant force for the Rebels during his career. He owns an 81-18 career record, has gone 63-8 in dual matches and owns an even more impressive 27-4 mark in SEC matches. “(Kalle’s) always been a team player,” Chadwick said. “When a team-match is on the line that’s, when Kalle Norberg is at his best and that’s reflective in his record. He doesn’t lose many matches.” Norberg did not participate in matches with the Rebels

in 2010 after being forced to redshirt due to a bulging-disk back injury. While Norberg’s back is healthy this season, he has recently had trouble with his foot. Despite the injury, he realized that injuries are just a part of sports. “Of course it’s tough,” Norberg said. “You want to practice. You want to play matches. But then it’s also tough having to play and knowing that you can play better. “That’s what’s frustrating to me. When I play, I want to be able to perform my best and that’s the most frustrating part.” As his career at Ole Miss winds up, Norberg said he does not have any regrets. In less than two weeks, he will have played his final home match at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center. In less than two months, he will graduate with a degree in Hospitality Management and then move back to Sweden. As for tennis, Norberg doesn’t see himself continuing to play the sport after he leaves Oxford because of his recent injuries. Golf, on the other hand, seems to be in his plans. “You never think it’s going to end,” Norberg said about his final upcoming home matches. “In two weeks it’s going to be the last one. “I’ve been here for a long time now and I’ve enjoyed every year and every semester. It’s going to come to an end at some point.”
