Students play in the snow on Wednesday between Bishop Hall and Martindale. The campus was closed at 12 p.m. after the crisis action team decided to cancel classes.
SNOWMAGEDDON, AT LEAST FOR MISSISSIPPI BY CAIN MADDEN Campus News Editor
Associate provost Noel Wilkin said making the decision to close the campus is always a difficult one. Wilkin said the crisis action team, of which he is a part, bases the decision off of several different sources. “We always strive to make the best possible decisions based on the safety of our students, faculty and staff,” Wilkin said. Yesterday, Wilkin said, the action team did not receive information strong enough to close the campus until 10:45 p.m. “We knew we were covered by clouds, but the information before that was that it was not going to reach the ground,” Wilkin said. “Then, we learned what was happening in Arkansas and the counties west of us, and how it was working. Also,
that it was going to be heavy snow, and continue to be heavy, so we made the decision with that understanding.” Wilkin said several factors went into the decision: the amount of snow expected, the type of snow, the fact that it was expected to stick on roadways and sidewalks, and the amount of time that it is going to snow. Due to the hazardous conditions, Wilkin said the team recommended to the provost and Chancellor that the campus be closed after noon. While most events on campus were cancelled along with afternoon classes, Wednesday night’s basketball game between Ole Miss and Louisiana State University was still on. “They decided, if we could get the teams here, then they would make the decision to go ahead and play,” Wilkin said. “Athletics will continue to monitor See SNOW, PAGE 4

Egyptian students to hold protest on campus today BY ANDREW WISE The Daily Mississippian
In support of the protest movement in Egypt, students at Ole Miss are organizing a demonstration today in front of the Student Union. Students will be rallying from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting at the International Office and ending in front of the Union, where a speech and discussion of the events in Egypt will be held to help spread awareness of the situation. “I’m not sure how well people know about what’s going on in Egypt,” Amir Wahba, a Pharmaceutical Ph.D. candidate, said. “We will not shout. It is just a peaceful movement.” The demonstrators will mainly be comprised of students from Egypt. “We want to show our support,” Amir said. “This is first. Second, we want change. We believe in change. “Third, we want to give the message that this is all types of Egyptian people who want this change.” A table will be set up in the
Union to answer questions that students may have about the developments in Egypt. Violence in Egypt continues to escalate as the military stands by. Protesters began burning police stations on Tuesday in retaliation to unconfirmed reports of police firing live rounds at protesters in the city of El Kharga and Wadi El Jedid province. Despite increasing pressure to reform from the Obama administration and the revival of protester’s efforts across the country to bring down Egypt’s ruling regime, vice president Sulieman, Mubarak’s handpicked successor, expressed that the regime is not going anywhere in the interest of sparing the country from “chaos.” The concessions that the regime has offered, such as Suliemans offer for constitutional negotiations and promises concerning freedom of the Egyptian press, have failed to impede the increasing tide of protests. Should the snow force the postponement of the demonstration, the new date and time will be updated at theDMonline.com.

Twitter #isheretostay BY JON STEPHENS Columnist
T H E
In high school, my daily routine consisted of going to school, going to some sports practice, showering after driving home, then watching sports highlights on ESPN until I fell asleep. My senior year, the sportscasters on ESPN started throwing strange combinations of words and pictures around. They told me to “follow” them on this new trendy thing called “Twitter” and flashed a picture of a bird when they encouraged me to “tweet” at them. At the time, I scoffed at their demands and thought that Twitter would soon fizzle out, and that its greatest merit would be to join the likes of Xanga and serve as an inspiration for yet another humorous Cracked.com list. I basically saw Twitter as a Facebook with no wall, photo albums, personal information, events, groups, or games; all that was left were the status updates. I thought I would remain a Mark Zuckerberg faithful for life. In 2011, though, I actually find myself using Twitter much more than the aforementioned Book of Faces.
Years ago I could not have fathomed using Twitter more than Facebook, much less using Twitter at all, so I sat down and tried to sort out the reasons in the area where my brain’s supposed to be to see why. As a technologically illiterate individual, I find Twitter very easy to use. I tweet and see what others tweeted – nothing too complicated about that. I tweet a number of different things, like something funny one of my friends said, a comment on a sports game, or a complaint about the weather. Or, whenever I simply cannot form the energy to create my own thoughts, I can simply scroll through my timeline (Twitter’s version of Facebook’s news feed) and click “retweet” and the work is done for me. I can also tailor my Twitter to suit my interests. As a basketball fan, I follow NBA analysts and not MLB players. As someone concerned with global events, I follow the Economist and not Hannah Montana. As an economics major, I follow
GEORGE BORDELON KEATON BREWER DUSTIN MAUFFRAY ALEX PENCE
account executives
the Wall Street Journal and not J.K. Rowling. But pages exist for just about every kind of news imaginable so every tweeter can cater his page to fit his interests. I can follow and unfollow pages relatively easily, so my timeline is hardly ever cluttered. Because I have had a Facebook for over six years now, I have accumulated over 1,100 friends and wish I had simply clicked “ignore” on many friend requests. All too often, my news feed is blown up by acquaintances from high school expressing immature emotions, the results of quizzes my friends have taken, and invitations to questionable events. I wish I could find my Staples Easy Button to make all of this disappear, but unfortunately I think Mark Zuckerberg stole it from me. Essentially, my biggest beef with Facebook is a problem society as a whole is facing today - there is simply too much information. I just Googled “awesome” and got about 192,000,000 results. Much to the dismay of Barney Stinson, I highly doubt every single

one of those results is actually awesome. Now, I could try sorting through the 192,000,000 different pages trying to find the most awesome stuff, but I would consequently suffer through pages in which high school bloggers say American Eagle is awesome. I’m sure there are a few dozen people out there who actually like the brand, but it does not suit the tastes of myself or my closet. On Facebook, I see the favorite movies, pictures, wall posts, statuses, and other types of information that Mark Zuckerberg thinks I want to know about all of my friends. On Twitter, I only see tweets from people and pages that interest me. I encourage all of you to try Twitter so you can only sift through the babble that you want to see. Not only will you not get bogged down by the unnecessary information Facebook presents us with, but it will also limit the amount of times a classmate catches you creeping on him while you’re in the same class.

the weather, so, while the teams may compete, they may deal with fans in a different way.” Wilkin said the LSU basketball team arrived on campus Tuesday, but he urged fans to use their judgment with regards to traveling to the game. “We had a speaker on campus, and they decided to cancel that for the safety of the person traveling,” Wilkin said. “But with regards to the LSU team, they are here and safe. Athletics
made plans to get both teams here in time.” Wilkin said that athletics are not exempted from the University’s decision to cancel classes, but after looking at the dynamics it looked like the game could still be played. “We will make the decision with regard to the University,” Wilkin said. “And we will leave it to the responsibility of athletics to keep fans up to date.” Wilkin said athletics would

post information on its website, www.olemisssports.com. Memphis National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Borghoff said for people to stay off the roads. “If you have no where to go, or no business being out, try to stay at home because it is going to be pretty bad,” Borghoff said. “We have already had numerous accidents in Memphis, and it is not worth the hassle if you don’t have to travel.” Borghoff said Oxford is expected to get three to six inches of snow, and some parts of Lafayette County could get up to seven inches. Thursday should be a sunny day, with temperatures around 30 degrees, Borghoff said. “Whatever is liquid and on the road should freeze and should continue to be slick throughout the day,” Borghoff said. “We will see the sun early afternoon, but it should continue to freeze through the morning.” Borghoff said following this, things will warm up. “We are expecting temperatures to be up to 60 degrees by Sunday,” Borghoff said. Wilkin said the team has not made a recommendation based on Thursday’s classes. “It depends on when the snow stops and how it melts,” Wilkin said. “Since this is a decision that can’t be reversed, we try to wait until we have the best possible information before we make the decision.” The crisis action team includes the campus’s emergency management administrator, the dean of students, the chief of police and others, with Wilkin representing the academic side of the campus. Some of the services and people the team stays in contact with include the national weather service, the Oxford and Lafayette County emergency management departments and the sheriff. “We continually monitor the conditions of the storm, or the conditions of the counties near us that have experienced the storm,” Wilkin said. “We start monitoring several days out and keep up with the National Weather Service updates and stay in contact with the emergency management administrator.” Wilkin said as the action team gathers information, they start sharing it with the various campus entities and keep them informed on the storm as they track it. “We then meet to discuss what the plan is moving forward, whether we will stay the course with operation hours or make a recommendation to the provost and chancellor,” Wilkin said.

‘Where I Begin’ sneak peek to play this weekend BOTH PHOTOS COURTESY WHERE I BEGIN
BY EMILY CEGIELSKI Lifestyles Editor
Crying is inevitable. Blood, sweat and tears are poured out in this film’s trailer, but none of it compares to the emotion portrayed on the actors’ faces. Pain. Grief. Torture. A range of emotions beyond imagine can be seen within two minutes and 34 seconds. “Where I Begin,” co-written by Melanie Addington, of Oxford, and Thomas L. Phillips. The film is a drama that was shot in Oxford and Sardis this summer and will be played at Oxford Film Festival this weekend. “The movie is about relationships and the rediscovery of relationships,” Phillips, who also directed the movie, said. “We all have trials and tribulations, and people will always wonder what exactly happened.” The film follows Jacob, played by Alex Walters (“Rattle Basket”), who has returned to his small hometown after a tragic event that has shaped the town’s perception of him. Walters, who had worked with Phillips in the past, said that working on this movie was refreshing. “I connected to the role,” Walters said. “I have a personal interest in intense, dark characters. Jacob is not just angry. He has a lot going on. It gave me a lot to work with, and I was really excited to see how many levels I could get to.” A Knoxville, Tenn. native, Phil-

myself again.” With all of the intensity and drama, the film relies on one character – Patrick played by Lance Nichols (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Treme”), to take on the role of “sage.” Patrick owns a restaurant/bar and serves as a narrator. “He knows everything that goes on in town,” Nichols said. “He presents the voice of wisdom in the film, and I found that enticing.” While the audience will be moved by the story, the actors were moved by Oxford’s southern charm while filming. “I couldn’t handle how nice everyone was,” Walters said. “It was an unexpected surprise.” “The people are very warm and friendly,” Nichols said of his time in Oxford. “The town is full of
good old southern hospitality.” In addition to the cast, the crew was a major part of making the movie something special. “The actual crew for this film was one of the best I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked on some big budget productions,” Nichols said. “Everyone was very efficient, very professional.” The comradery found on set was expressed in the filming process. “A lot of times on a set, cast and crew separate,” Walters explained. “On this particular movie, everyone was like a family, and that made shooting better.” If shooting a movie is like forming a family, then that makes Phillips head of the household. “Working with Thomas was good because he was all about the actor,” Walters said. “He was very

open to suggestions. I really appreciated his hard work and his intensity.” Nichols said that Phillips “gives his actors a lot of direction to play.” Also an important person in the production process was Addington, who was always on set with a script in hand. “Working with Melanie was good,” Walters said. “I felt comfortable enough to go to her with any concerns and script changes.” The emotional ride of the trailer could make the most hard-hearted person weep. “Where I Begin” is sure to be the dramatic stand out at Oxford Film Festival. As one of the film festival’s most scheduled films, “Where I Begin” will offer sneak preview screenings at 3:25 p.m. on Friday and at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Lindsey Perry and catcher Rachel Torres – there will be pressure for younger members of the team to step up. Dickerson believes that the underclassmen – especially the freshmen – are up to the task. “In practice (the freshmen) have done great,” said Dickerson, “But being on the field and actually competing it hopefully carries over.” Dickerson said the Kajikawa Classic gives her a chance to evaluate her team before another tournament in Florida and Ole Miss’ home opener Feb. 22 against Mississippi Valley State. “(The Kajikawa Classic) will give me an idea of what we still need to work on,” Dickerson said. “Always learn from mistakes and correct those and focus.” The Rebels alternate playing in the Kajikawa Classic every other year with one in California. This year’s Classic has Ole Miss facing Utah, San Jose State, BYU, Oregon and Cal State Fullerton “(The Kajikawa Classic) allows us to play against the top teams and gives us experience to carry into SEC play,” Dickerson said.

The Ole Miss softball team opens play today at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. The tournament, which lasts until Feb. 12, features some of the best teams in Division I softball such as Oregon and BYU, two teams that reached Super Regionals last year. “(Oregon and BYU) are talented,” said Ole Miss coach Missy Dickerson. “We look at
it as a challenge to help us get better.” The Rebels are looking to improve from last year after barely making it over the .500 mark during a 29-27 season.
