Ole Miss to see tuition hike for ‘10-11 BY KATE NICOLE COOPER
lingers as to why the University takes it from student’s pockets instead of raising the funds in another fashion. “We explore every avenue of revenue, such as private donations, and we do a very good job at Ole Miss,” Knight said. “Tuition is not our first choice, but when it comes down to balancing the books, tuition is what we have to use to do it.” When compared to other public colleges across the nation, the increase of 6.4 percent is relatively small. Schools in other parts of the country, such as California and Florida, are seeing doubledigit percentage increases. “I have partial financial aid, but my parents still pay for a certain amount of my school,” Andrea Pollard, a senior criminal justice major, said. “I have two brothers in school in San Diego, and (my parents) have to help them also. Not only do they have to help with their (my brothers’) tuition, now they have to pay more of mine.” For the many students on the

It’s safe to say that at Ole Miss, students pay for quality when they pay their tuition at the beginning of every semester. The tuition fee is ever-changing at Ole Miss. So many may have breathed a sigh of relief when, for the 2009-2010 spring semester, tuition wasn’t raised for the first time in several years. However, it has been announced this spring that tuition will be raised for the upcoming 2010-2011 school year. This fall, in-state undergraduate students will pay $2,718 per semester, compared to last year’s $2,553. The additional $165 is a 6.4 percent increase from last year. “It’s a byproduct of the fact that we continue to receive fewer and fewer dollars from the State of Mississippi,” Dewey Knight, associate director of financial advising, said. “And as the support from that channel of revenue goes down, if we’re going to maintain our levels of quality and our standards of service, to cover the costs, there’s no other place to go but tuition.” For some, the question still

Ole Miss campus that are paying for their own tuition, this could mean even less money in the students’ wallets. “It’s going to leave me with less money to do things I want to do, less money for fun. I have an academic scholarship, but it doesn’t provide for everything,” Chase Middleton, a senior biology and psychology major, said. Knight stressed that people need to realize that higher education is expensive, but the other
option of no higher education is even more expensive. Knight said tuition increases are likely a reality for the foreseeable future. The university will probably see an increase in tuition nearly every year. If the state continues to give the university less money, the school will have to make up for it some way. And unfortunately, the school may always be forced to resort to tuition increases, Knight said.

When asked, most students said their fast food choices were not based solely on the speed of a drive-through, but also on the food and where they wanted to eat on a given day. Are restaurants likewise motivated by multiple factors, or do they focus solely on the speed of the service they provide customers? Most restaurants time their drive-through service with a timer that begins when a customer pulls up to the order box and ends when the customer pulls away with their order. The timers count in seconds, and different restaurants have different standards for how long each order should take. For example, Taco Bell tries to keep orders around 30 sec-
onds, according to Bob Vasilyev, president of Vasco Properties, the franchise operator in Oxford. Wendy’s, however, would like to serve customers within 60 seconds, assistant manager Robert Shegog said. However, there are several factors that cause a drivethrough’s service to become slow. Shegog observed that there are mistakes made by both the customer and the restaurant. “A lot of times it’ll be us when we run out of meat or stuff, Shegog said. “A lot of times people come to the window and realize, ‘Oh, my purse is in the trunk,’ so then that makes our service time slow down.” Other times, it could be modifications to a regular menu item that cause the kitchen See FAST, PAGE 4
AUCTIONED IN NYC NEW YORK (AP) — A rare collection of signed William Faulkner books and personal itemxs, including one of his most acclaimed novels, “Light in August,” sold at auction Tuesday for $833,246. The collection of 90 items was nearly a complete representation of Faulkner’s work, said the auction house, Christie’s. The auction probably was the last chance to acquire such a large collection of the author’s work, Louis Daniel Brodsky, a poet and Faulkner scholar, said in an interview before the auction. The highest price went for “Absalom, Absalom!” a story about Southern poverty told entirely in flashbacks, which sold for $86,500. Inscribed in 1936 to novelist and journalist Malcolm Cowley, the first edition novel exceeded the $40,000 to $60,000 pre-sale estimate. Inscribed copies of “Absalom, Absalom!” are extremely rare, with only two others recorded at auction in the last 30 years, according to Christie’s. The first edition of “Light in August,” which centers on three characters and explores the devastating effects of racism and religious fanaticism in the South,
sold for $47,500. The book also is inscribed by the Nobel Prize-winning author to Cowley, who was working on a profile of Faulkner for Life magazine. Christie’s did not identify either buyer, or the American seller. It had estimated that the collection would sell for more than $1 million. A few items offered a glimpse into the personal side of the author, whose stream of consciousness writings explored the complicated social system of the South. In a 1936 Western Union telegram to his 3-year-old daughter, Faulkner wished her “plenty of ghosts, goblins, witches and cats and owls on Halloween.” In a 1951 copy of “Sartoris,” Faulkner scribbled, “For Joan, it was all for her, even while she was asleep.” The author was referring to novelist Joan Williams, with whom he had an affair. “He’s not merely an American author,” said Tom Lecky, head of the auction house’s department of books and manuscripts. “He’s an international author.” Faulkner was a native of New Albany, Miss., then lived in Oxford, Miss. The University of Mississippi runs a museum at his Greek Revival house.

The Birthday Blues
T H E
Today, ladies and gentlemen, is my birthday. Now, before you get all excited, just... don’t. I am not 16 and getting the mystical driver’s license, I am not 18 and able to vote and buy cigarettes and I am not 21 and excited about my first (legal) visit to a bar. I am 22 years old. While there is nothing terribly exciting about turning 22, it still means that I am a year older and technically a year wiser than I was June 23, 2009. If I have learned nothing else in the past year, I have at least learned that in the end, no one is responsible for yourself other than you. Today, I was on Facebook (because everyone knows how much I love my social networking sites) and a friend of mine liked the group “We were friends, but you’ve changed.” No silly group could better describe the past 365 days of my life. Sometimes, people change - that’s not your fault. Sometimes, people decide to be rude and hateful for no reason. Again, that is not your fault.
Day after day, I hear people say that Gwen’s boyfriend ruined her day by not calling her, or that Toshiko upset Owen when she mentioned his mustard stain in public. Long story short, none of this is true. Gwen ruined her own day by letting her boyfriend affect her mood and Owen is mostly just a baby worrying about mustard. You are in control of your emotions, and only you can ruin your day. The whole point of college is to taste freedom without being completely let loose, and adapting to who you are. You become comfortable in your own skin and learn to hold your own. Think back to the very first day of your freshman year. Everyone makes those friends on the first day or two and begin to branch out from there. It might be the first guy you shared an elevator with or a girl two showers over complaining about no hot water. Most first-day friends don’t stay that way long, but without them, you wouldn’t be here today with the friends you have now.

It’s just another part of the college experience. College turns teenagers into adults and sends us into the real world to become an influential part of society. By the time you graduate, you will have made and subsequently lost dozens of friends. You will fail something (at least minor). You will lose sleep over homework you don’t care about and, in the end, you’ll become more of who you were to begin with. You should be able to leave the beloved University of Mississippi with a sense of pride and accomplishment not only because you have an incredibly expensive piece of paper, but because you’ve grown up and can begin living your life however you see fit. Friends will come and go, but (as cliche as it might sound) the real friends are there for you no matter what happens. It took me a long, long 22 years to get here, but I’ve finally figured out who is who and I love every single one of them with all my heart. Oh, and speaking of friends: happy 20th birthday, Samuel Rene!

Patriotism is as synonymous with American culture as McDonalds and child obesity. For a variety of reasons — some better than others — we’re a proud country. Just count the number of American flags that appear on front porches and in store windows as July 4 approaches. It’s a display of national pride with few comparisons in Germany. Nationalstolz, as it’s timidly called here, was once as taboo as the phrase, “Arbeit macht frei.” Every four years there exists an exception to Germany’s tentativeness toward all things patriotic: the World Cup. It’s almost a cliché to say that when Germany played host to the tournament in 2006 a resurgence of national pride energized the country. Germans were once again proud to be Germans. Though it fell short of a perfect fairy tale ending à la the Brothers Grimm, a third place finish was nothing to be ashamed of. I was lucky enough to be in Germany that summer as a member of my high school German class. Of the 11 days we spent traveling the country, the day Germany beat Poland remains

all know the Mississippi heat wave is here to stay. Since we’re stuck with it, here are some practical (and free) things to do to make sure you don’t end up unconscious ten feet from that massive J. D. Williams door: The easiest is to wear cool, breathable clothing. That new teal skirt you’re saving for Independence Day weekend... wear it. Got some white? That’s your ticket. The idea is to deflect heat rather than absorb it. Cover your windows and keep them locked. If you pull the curtains down on all windows that are in direct sunlight, you will be able to effectively cool your apartment down a few degrees and save on the electric bill. An open, uncovered window during the day will simply make the inside temperature the same as outside and waste all of that money and energy. We all learned about that in biology... right? The most important is to drink plenty of water. Our bodies are almost 75% water; it’s how we stay alive. Make sure to keep a bottle of water around
if you’re out playing frisbee golf or even just laying by the pool. I am a camp counselor and I can honestly say I don’t think the kids that are around me are human... They are NEVER thirsty! Another easy one is to avoid hot, heavy meals and aim for lighter means with fruits and vegetables and of course a glass of water. The oven also produces a lot of heat, so keeping it off is a good plan; then again, let’s be honest... cook? In college? Not this guy! Cool water on your skin is one of the easiest ways to safely reduce body temperature if you start to feel a little ill. I definitely agree with taking cool showers, but a cool, wet rag on the back of the neck or the forehead is easy when you’re not near indoor plumbing. Although that morning walk to class may be extremely hot, ultimately, it won’t kill you if you use your head. The next time you plan an outdoor event, make sure there’s water for everyone both to play in and drink.

Summertime is here, and it’s extremely hot. This seems to be the first thing I notice every day as I start my car in the morning while being greeted by a 100 degree wave of heat crushing me as soon as I open the door. Even our beloved squirrels have decided to take a sabbatical from their everyday activities, and they aren’t afraid of anything. Whatever the case may be, remember just what momma said, “Drink your water!” I remember as a youngster my mom would always tell me to drink this many glasses of water and stay out of the heat as much as possible. Well, that’s great advice, Mom, but you didn’t have to take classes in the heat of the day because that’s the only section. Time was of the essence way back when. While the ideal plan would be to stay indoors completely during the hottest hours of the day (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), that just isn’t an option. ... Guess I can’t make it to class tomorrow, right Sra.

my most memorable. Even the small country town we were in erupted with excitement once the referee blew the final whistle. Car horns blared as drivers sped along the narrow streets. Spontaneous bursts of “Olé, Olé, Olé” echoed from the half-timbered houses. The local pub even offered free drinks. If I hadn’t known any better, I might have thought Germany had just won the championship game. It was only the second match. You can imagine the excitement I felt after realizing that I’d be back in Germany four years later for another World Cup. So what if the tournament is played 5,000 miles away in South Africa? Fussball fever runs much higher here than it ever will in the United States, especially during the World Cup. The storyline was surprisingly familiar. Once again I’d be watching Germany’s second game after a convincing first-round victory. Serbia, like Poland, was an undermanned and overmatched opponent. I watched the game with nine Germans, all

but one of whom donned a German soccer jersey. Six German flags hung throughout the room, and two of the men wore them as capes. Four years later, Nationalstolz was once again at a fever pitch. Encouraged by German analysts and their predictions of an easy German victory — not to mention the general fervor in the room — I could hardly wait for the post-game celebrations to begin. They never came. Serbia upset Germany, 1-0. After a moment of grief, German pride is once again running high in anticipation of today’s must-win match against Ghana. Americans need not understand injury time and offsides to relate to such exaggerated displays of patriotism. Yet despite their affinity for all things red, white and blue, many Americans fail to recognize the larger meaning of “futball.” Luckily winning is also a part of American culture. I wonder how many United States victories it’ll take for Americans to finally catch on.

who are open past bar hours. Wendy’s General Manager, Samantha Bean, said she noticed a drop off in late-night customers during the summer. For her that means fewer rowdy customers late at night, which Bean said is much better for her. When evaluating customer service overall, it wasn’t speed the restaurants were most concerned about. “I think it’s the accuracy of the orders, because the thing about it is, it’s not how fast you push them through,” Bean said. “It might count with that person who’s on lunch (break), but you think about that mom that may come in here with three children. It’s important that she gets everything right on that first try because she wants to get that family situated so they can eat lunch. I think speed is something that the company puts on us, and that you’re losing what’s really important: your customer base.” Vasilyev said that customers have a better experience when they are greeted with a smile. And no matter how fast you are or how good the product tastes, if you’re met with a sour attitude it’s not going to be a good experience Chick-fil-A, a restaurant known for its high standard for customer service, took this a step further. “I think it’s not an either (speed) or (accuracy), but it’s both and more,” Reed said. “We’ve got to really be good on both.” Even fast food restaurants are not looking to give customers just a quick meal, but also service that keeps them coming

staff to adjust. “What backs us up are specials because that may slow us down in the kitchen. We’ll have them pull around and park and bring it out to them to keep drive-through going,” Lance Reed, Chick-fil-A owner-operator said. The three restaurants agreed that when customers know their orders and are prepared going through the drivethrough, things run much more smoothly. When correcting speed issues in the drive-through, restaurants pinpoint specific problems and correct them to improve customer service. Adding extra staff is one way of dealing with slower drivethrough speeds. “Usually what happens is over at that call box - that’s where we get backed up because sometimes people sit at that call box and it takes them 2-3 minutes to decide what they want,” said Reed. “But, if I’ve got somebody out there face-to-face, then we can talk that through, and I eliminate that gap, and I get more orders on my screen over here.” The restaurants did not notice any difference in drivethrough times between the summer season and the fall and spring seasons when school is in session. “We don’t really want to see any (difference) actually. We want to see the same speed all the time,” Vasilyev said. “Whatever our fastest time, we want to keep our fastest.” The amount of customers is what restaurants noticed, especially the difference in latenight customers at restaurants like Wendy’s and Taco Bell,

Barbour: Judge right to block drilling moratorium JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is praising a federal judge’s decision to lift the Obama administration’s sixmonth moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Barbour, a Republican, has said repeatedly over the past two weeks that the moratorium was a bad policy that could hurt the national economy. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says
the administration plans to appeal the judge’s decision. The moratorium was a response to the April 20 explosion of an oil rig that has continued to gush oil into the Gulf. Barbour says he hopes the judge’s ruling will take effect quickly and be upheld on appeal. The governor said earlier this month that stopping deepwater drilling for six months could prompt some oil companies to move their equipment to other countries.

BARBOUR: PROPOSED CHOCTAW CASINO IN JONES CO. BAD JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he’s asking the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians to withdraw plans to build a casino in Jones County. Barbour calls the proposed facility a “slot parlor” and says it could hurt the health and safety of local residents and jeopardize tortoises, birds, snakes and plants in the Pine Belt region.
The governor said Tuesday he’s asking Attorney General Jim Hood to take legal action to try to block the development. The Choctaw Tribal Council voted June 8 to put a 27,000-square-foot building with about 500 to 700 slot machines and a snack shop on a tribal-owned site near Sandersville. A Choctaw spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
They might as well change the name of summer to “wedding season.” Weddings can be wonderful social events. However, with social events, there is required of everyone a certain amount of social etiquette. Here are a few reminders of how to behave at a wedding and its reception, according to etiquette expert Emily Post (“Emily Post’s Etiquette”) and Polished at Socialimage.net. The first question most people have about weddings is what to wear. Wedding attire is appropriated by the time of day in which the wedding takes place. According to Post, weddings before noon are informal, and women should wear day dresses (i.e. church dress), and men should wear slacks and a dress shirt. After noon until 6 p.m. is semi-formal, and women are expected to wear something dressier than a day dress and closer to a cocktail dress. The closer the time is to 6, the dressier one should be. Men need to be in a dress suit and should make judgement on whether or not to wear a tie. A formal wedding is anything that will begin after 6 p.m. Women must wear a longer length dress; more extravagant jewelry is
acceptable. Men will be in tuxedoes. Polished answers the question about wearing white and strapless dresses. An all-white dress is considered to be stealing the attention away from the bride. However, an ivory dress is usually acceptable or a white dress with another color incorporated. Strapless dresses are generally reserved for outdoor weddings. If the strapless dress must be worn in a church, it is considered in good practice to bring a shawl or light sweater to cover a woman’s bare shoulders. If the reception is held away from the church, it is acceptable to remove the shawl or sweater. After arriving at the wedding, one must wait to be seated by an usher. The usher will seat guests according to their relationship to either the bride or the groom. It is customary that a lady be escorted to her seat by the usher and her date will follow behind. A gentleman who arrives at the wedding alone should still wait for an usher to walk him to his seat. Occasionally it is unavoidable to arrive late for the wedding ceremony. If this is the case, one must either be sig-
naled in by the wedding coordinator, or, to avoid any mishap, wait until after the ceremony is over. It is acceptable to avoid the ceremony all together, if one realizes he or she will be late, and join the party at the reception venue. In the event that one is unfamiliar with local or religious ceremony customs, follow the lead of those seated nearest. Some churches stand during the entire ceremony while others rise periodically throughout. If there are no spoken cues on standing and seating, it is safest to follow other guests at the wedding. During the wedding ceremony, it is rude to take personal photographs. Typically, the bride and groom have hired an official photographer or videographer for the event. An unwelcome flash may disturb the professional’s own pictures and possibly even distract from the sanctity of the occasion. At the reception, certain formalities must be followed. The first is greeting the bride and groom. According to Post, one must congratulate the groom and only wish the bride happiness; it is rude to “congratulate the bride on
securing a husband.” The first dance of the reception is reserved for the bride and groom, regardless of music playing. The couple may wish to eat and toast before dancing, which is fine. Guests should not begin dancing until the couple has shared their first dance. At formal receptions where there is assigned seating, it is unacceptable for a guest to speak only to his or her date. Whether guests are familiar with one another or not, they still must engage in polite conversation. Never ask to be moved. It is rude, and the seating arrangement should never be taken personally. As a guest, it is impolite to call attention to one’s own departure from a reception, especially if it is an early departure. In the company of other guests, it is best to simply apologize for needing to leave so soon. In the matter of whether or not to bring small children, the general rule is to bring a child no younger than two years of age. Also, when bringing a child, ensure that he or she will be watched over personally and not left unattended.

ZACH GRAHAM REFLECTS ON WHITE’S CAREER THIS IS PART ONE OF A THREEPART SERIES ON TERRICO WHITE AND THE NBA DRAFT, WHICH TAKES PLACE ON THURSDAY.
BY JOHN HOLT The Daily Mississippian
The Daily Mississippian
At the annual Southeastern Conference meetings, which took place at the beginning of the month in Destin, Fla., the powers that be in the SEC focused on the most important issue regarding the 2010 football season: a new cowbell policy for Mississippi State fans. All sarcasm aside, the SEC approved a one-year trial compromise that more or less strikes the 1974 ban by the SEC on artificial noisemakers – including cowbells – at league football and basketball games. The policy states that Bulldog fans are allowed to ring their cowbells at times when music can be played –
Ole Miss RB Rodney Scott recieves SEC sportsmanship award
The two were chosen by a vote of the SEC Directors of Athletics

Terrico White is projected to go anywhere from the late-1st to mid-2nd round in Thursday’s NBA Draft. Former teammate Zach Graham spoke highly of White as a quiet leader and “mind-blowing” talent.
chance and opportunity to fulfill his dream and I don’t fault him for that,” senior guard Zach Graham said. Graham, who averaged 9.2 ppg last season, mentioned that White was a quiet leader but a special teammate for the two years they played alongside one another. “He was a great teammate on the court and off the court,” Graham said. “He really didn’t talk a lot, but on the court he was really effective. He’s not one of those guys who is going to talk a lot about what he is going to do. He’s just going to go out on the floor and take care of business. He was coachable and worked hard in practice every
SEC FAILS WITH COWBELL COMPROMISE BY PAUL KATOOL
OLE MISS SPORTS
Ole Miss football player Rodney Scott and University of South Carolina softball player Sam Arbaugh have been named recipients of the 3rd annual SEC Sportsmanship Award, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive announced Tuesday.
TOMORROW: OLE MISS BASKETBALL PREPARES FOR FUTURE WITHOUT WHITE.
When Terrico White declared for the NBA Draft in April, it did not come as much of a surprise to many, including his teammates. The Rebels had a solid season - finished 24-11 and advanced to the NIT Semifinals for the second time in three seasons before falling to eventual champion Dayton, but they failed to reach the NCAA Tournament after starting the season with a 16-4 record and were ranked No. 14 in the country for a week in January. “It was tough to not make the (NCAA) tournament when I was there,” White said. “Our goal coming into last season was to make it. With the talent we had, it looked like we were early in the year, but down the line we started having injuries, and everything just kind of fell apart after that.” With White’s early departure and starting center DeAundre Cranston’s graduation, many assumed the team would remain strong. But then forward Eniel Polynice unexpectedly declared for the draft, and sophomore Murphy Holloway transferred to walk on at South Carolina in order to live closer to his mother and infant daughter. “I knew that Terrico had a really good

during pre-game, halftime, between quarters, time-outs, after scores and during possession changes. This sounds fine and dandy for Mississippi State fans, but during an average conference match up, SEC stadiums contain enough Evan Williams and Beam’s Eight Star to flood the Grand Canyon. And with Jim Bob or Bobby Joe liquored up, they won’t know a time-out from a touchdown. So ring-a-ling-a-ling those cowbells will go. This harks back to 2007 when replay official Doyle Jackson overturned Ole Miss wide receiver Shay Hodge’s long reception against Alabama, ending hopes of the Rebels making a comeback. It’s against the rules, and com-
day.” The 6-foot-6 Graham, who is a native of Suwanee Ga., said he’d love to see his former teammate suit up for his home team - the Atlanta Hawks - next season. He stated White has plenty of potential, and that people haven’t even witnessed all he has to offer. “I think he’s really talented at the point-guard position because he can really handle the ball, find his big men cutting to the basket and create for himself,” Graham said. “He did great things in college, but I don’t think people have seen half of what he can do. The things that he did in practice were just mind-blowing.”
mon sense, to throw anything on the field during a football game, but that didn’t stop students from launching liquor bottles and even a single red high-heel onto the south end zone. What should be drawn from this anecdote is obvious - sports fans, including preteens and grandfathers, soccer moms and frat stars are going to get rowdy and boisterous during athletic events, whether it is because of alcohol or pure adrenaline. And I’m certain that among these rowdy fans, there will be a large number of cowbell-wielding Mississippi State faithful that will adhere to the new rules set in place. But there will also be quite a few who will get caught up in the moment and ring their cowbells at inappropriate times or blatantly ignore the new rules altogether. So, what I really want to know is what these consequences are going to be if, or when, fans at Davis Wade Stadium break the rules.
Fines, penalties, a slap on the wrist? Fines aren’t going to work – most fans aren’t going to care about how much SEC Commissioner Mike Slive is charging on the MSU credit card as long as it isn’t hurting the Bulldogs on the playing field. And the penalties seem a little harsh. How can the SEC rationalize slapping the Bulldogs with a 15-yard penalty or technical foul – something that could truly affect the outcome of a game – because a bunch of nuts are ringing bells? So really, in my book there are two options the SEC should have chosen from instead of their greyarea approach: ban the cowbells and get serious about screening for and confiscating the noisemakers; throw people out of games if they don’t comply. Or just give up and let the fans ring their cowbells, because the last time I checked that 1974 ban never stopped cowbells from ringing during their games anyway.
During the first quarter of the Auburn-Ole Miss football game on Oct. 31 in JordanHare Stadium, Auburn safety Zac Etheridge helped make a tackle on Scott, a freshman tailback for the Rebels. When the collision occurred, Scott made a split-second decision to stay still underneath Etheridge, who had become unconscious. Rather than forcing himself off the ground, which is generally a player’s first instinct, Scott did not move for almost 10 minutes while medical personnel attended to the injured Tiger defensive back. Scott sensed, almost immediately, that Etheridge was seriously injured, and chose to stay motionless while not to risk any further injury to the Auburn defensive back. “It was one of the most amazing things I’ve seen,” said Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. “I’ve got to give that young man (Scott) a lot of credit. I don’t know how he knew he couldn’t move. It was one of the most phenomenal things I’ve witnessed.” Etheridge was secured to a stretcher and carted off the field where he was taken to the hospital, where X-rays showed no structural damage to his spine, although he did tear ligaments attached to his spine and cracked his C-5 vertebra. He was in an invasive neck brace for three months. The two players communicated with each other the week following the incident and still communicate several times a month.
POWE NAMED TO TWO AWARD WATCH LISTS Ole Miss’ Jerrell Powe was named to watch lists for both the Outland Trophy and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, as announced Monday by the Football Writers Association of America. The Outland Trophy honors college football’s top interior lineman, while the Nagurski Trophy is awarded to the nation’s best defensive player.
