Confederate symbols conversation comes to the Grove
CLARA TURNAGE
dmmanaging@gmail.com
Nearly a dozen students, alumni and faculty, led by Mary Alex Thigpen, brought the conversation surrounding the Confederate flag to the Grove Saturday when they wore and handed out the stickers in favor of removing the Confederate symbol. Many tents in the Grove have for some time now sported Confederate flags or emblems, like that of Forrest Daws, a Wayne County native who played basketball for Ole Miss in 1999. “Actually, I’m offended that people look at that and automatically assume I’m racist because they have no earthly idea why I fly that flag,” Daws said. “While I do understand the sensitivity and people who are offended by it, even though I do feel like it’s misinterpretation, I feel like we would be better off discussing, educating and coming to the realization that that flag represents things other than what
PHOTO BY:
it’s been misinterpreted for.” Daws said he honored the memory of his three family members who fought in the Civil War when he hung the flag, and it would be going against tradition to take it down. Thigpen, a 2012 graduate,
said she decided to start the campaign after reading linebacker C. J. Johnson’s interview with ESPN discussing the use of Confederate emblems in the Grove. Thigpen said she asked the tent next to hers in the Grove to
remove their Confederate flag, which they politely refused to do. After this experience, she said she spoke to her friends and colleagues about handing out stickers in support of the removal of the flag. “I feel like there are a lot of
people that feel the same way that we do,” Thigpen said. “We’ve been focused on being respectful, and all these conversations we have are humble.” Thigpen said removal of the Confederate battle flag through respectful and civil conversation was her only goal. Tyshun Hargrove, an alumni of 2007 and 2008, said he heard about the initiative when he came to Oxford for the homecoming game and decided to join. “If we want our school to bring in the best students that we can and show that type of camaraderie, unity across the board, then why not have something that unifies everyone?” Hargrove said. “In the grand scheme, athletics is a big push – especially in the SEC and especially here. Fans are coming in to support these athletes, and in supporting the athletes, they’re also supporting the students and the school.”

What are the platforms for Mr. and Miss Ole Miss? BROOKE MUOIO
dmmanaging@gmail.com
Over two weeks in September, candidates campaigned for the titles of Mr. and Miss Ole Miss. After all the stickers were handed out, signs were created and votes were tallied, only two remained. For William Kneip and Mary Elizabeth Kakales, the work has just begun. “The process of running and being elected as Miss Ole Miss has been the most humbling experience,” Kakales said. “I have the best and most selfless team in the world.” Kakales and Kneip said they want to use their talents and gifts to give back and help grow the position into more than just a personality election with a philanthropy background. This year, Mr. and Miss Ole Miss will raise money for the Ole Miss Family Family Fund. The first project launched Friday. “We are extremely excited
to have the opportunity to raise money to give financial support to our Rebel family,” Kneip said. Kakales and Kneip wanted to do something that strengthens the community and helps fellow students during difficult times. “The Ole Miss Family Fund has a special place in my heart because it helps members of the Ole Miss family immediately when it is most needed,” Kakales said. Lyda Philips, graduate assistant for the Columns Society and co-director of student affairs, helped establish the fund and said she knows Kneip and Kakales to be effective leaders from their time on Columns. “I have been able to work with them all of last year while they were juniors, and seeing both of them mature and seeing their leadership grow, they’re both so deserving to be Mr. and Miss Ole Miss,” Philips said. “We’re incredibly proud and honored to be
able to work with them.” The fund originally came about as a result of an initiative from vice chancellor for Student Affairs Brandi Hephner Labanc in 2012. Initially, the fund was endowed by various gifts for $25,000. Because of the endowment’s structure, only the interest accrued from that $25,000 principle could be spent. The fund is seeking to increase their capacity to help students and hopes to collect an additional $10,000 by Nov. 11. In addition to working with the Ole Miss Family Fund, Kneip and Kakales will dedicate the spring 2016 semester to listening to organizations on campus to best assist different developments. “I think William (Kneip) and I are in a unique position PHOTO BY: MARLEE CRAWFORD because we have the potential to listen to the student body Mr. and Ms. Ole Miss William Kneip and Mary Elizabeth Kakales wave to the crowd and make differences that the after being recognized to the crowd during the home coming game Saturday. students want,” Kakales said.

Raven-Symoné: That’s So Discriminatory HANNAH GAMMILL

We don’t deserve Raven-Symoné. Raven-Symoné is a bottomless vessel of knowledge and truth, and we are blessed to have her with us on this green earth. Today’s truth from #BlackTwitter’s favorite cousin is that your name having a whiff of “negrosity” in it justifies your not being afforded an employment opportunity. That’s just the way it is. “I’m not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea,” she said on “The View.” But wait a minute! Did she really just admit on national television that she discriminates based on ethnic-sounding names? Despite laws against that particular form of discrimination, she absolutely did. Raven-Symoné, whose name includes a non-utilized accent aigu, says she refuses to hire people with black-sounding names. Raven-Symoné, whose girlfriend’s name, AzMarie, appar-

ently wouldn’t fly well on a job application, says she refuses to hire people with ethnic-sounding names. The irony is not lost on me. Also, she used the name “Watermelondrea” as an example. Nothing more needs to be said here. See, my name is Hannah. I’m pretty sure that when you hear the name Hannah, you think of some fair-skinned, flaxen haired maiden from the suburbs. I’m actually a biracial babe who comes from one of the grittiest parts of New Orleans, where chewed up sunflower seeds were scattered across the porch and “Down for My N*****s” blared from our subwoofer. The hood. I come from the hood. The ghetto. But what if my name were LaQuondra or Monique or Khadijah? Would that particular scene pop up in your head immediately? Be honest with me.

If I were named Watermelondrea Gammill, and I handed in a stellar resume that outshines Jennifer’s, would you pick Jennifer? I’m asking because I’ve heard people say something along the lines of “Everybody’s a little prejudiced.” And I have heard this very same line used in response to this disturbing episode of That’s So Raven. I won’t say everyone doesn’t have at least a hint of implicit bias, but it doesn’t make throwing away someone’s job application because of a mother-given name right, you guys. If you are in fact a “little bit prejudiced,” address it, spray some Mean Green on it and scrub it away. It won’t disappear overnight, obviously, but baby steps are better than passivity. It’s disturbing how something as innocuous as the name your mama gave you can do so much damage to your employability. Believe it or not, it happens. I know because the National

Bureau of Economic Research found in a study that the perception of race in a name on a résumé leads to job applicants with white-sounding names getting more callbacks than those with black-sounding names. Job applicants with white-sounding names only needed to send in 10 applications for one callback. People with black sounding names and the same qualifications? 15. It happens. And it is, to be frank, not good. Raven-Symoné can believe whatever she wants. If she wants to pick Jennifer over Watermelondrea because one name is more respectable than the other, that’s fine because that is her right. But she still needs someone to take that gratuitous French accent off her name and slap her with it. Hannah Gammill is a junior English major from New Orleans.

“I definitely agree that there are some things that need to change, and I agree that racism does happen. I’m not denying that whatsoever. I’m saying that the meaning of that flag is not a racist meaning to those who know what it stands for. It’s just as frustrating for us to feel like our history and heritage is under attack, just like the other side feels to us.” Chukwuebuka Okoye, president of the University’s NAACP chapter, also participated in handing out stickers Saturday. Okoye said the purpose of the stickers was to increase conversation surrounding the issue. “We just want to talk about it. We don’t want to push our views on anyone,” Okoye said. “Even if you don’t take it down, at least you thought about it.”
continued from page 1 Hargrove said if the fans came to support the players, they should support their beliefs as well. Hargrove said this is one of his few visits to campus after graduating, and he felt there was more tension now than in his time in Oxford. “To see it go from what I thought was a very good place that was progressing to taking a few steps back was displeasing,” Hargrove said. “When things like that happen, it’s an education opportunity.” Donald Cole, assistant provost and assistant to the chancellor concerning minority affairs, came to visit with the people who volunteered to hand out stickers. “I wanted to come and meet some of the people who are associated with it,” Cole said. “The group wanted to do things the right way: nothing confrontational, just educational.” Though he could see a reduction in the display of Confed-

erate emblems since his time here, Cole said he felt their removal would encourage a safer, more welcoming environment for all students. Daws said he believes the
negative connotation of the Confederate flag is derived from a misinterpretation of it. “I believe that a large part of the problem derives from a lack of education on it,” Daws said.

Annual Square Jam brings basketball season closer JIMMY ANDERSON
jbander2@go.olemiss.edu
Despite the glittery homecoming floats, Square Jam dominated the scene Friday night. “When we came up with the idea four years ago, I thought it was thinking outside the box, which is something I’m glad we’re doing a lot more of,” Andy Kennedy, men’s basketball coach, said. “It works in conjunction with the homecoming parade, so people are already out. It’s an opportunity for them to see the guys and the girls.” Square Jam featured a plethora of newcomers on a breezy night. There were seven newcomers on the men’s side and six newcomers on the women’s side. Even though it is in the thick of football season, Kennedy
said people need to know that basketball season is here and his players are ready. “They’re still three weeks away from playing. But the guys are working hard, and this is a good acknowledgement of that,” Kennedy said. “I think they get excited about it.” Junior forward Sebastian Saiz said he has attended the Square Jam every year since coming to Ole Miss. “I came on my visit, and that was the first year they did it. I was here sitting on the baseline, and it’s fun to start from there and do it the next couple years,” Saiz said. “So, it’s always fun to be here.” In his third year doing Square Jam, head women’s coach Matt Insell was excited for his players to experience an event like this and be part of it. “In our first week of practice, the worst day of practice was

Volleyball sweeps Georgia Bulldogs in three sets NATALIE ALLEN
nrallen1@go.olemiss.edu
The Ole Miss volleyball team took on Georgia at the Gillom Sports Center in Oxford Friday night, and the Rebels took the win in three sets and snagged their second SEC victory of the season. After shutting out Georgia last year in the only meeting between these two teams, Ole Miss hoped to continue the winning streak. This year, Ole Miss kept the ball rolling on the offensive end. In the first set, the two teams took turns exchanging points until the score was tied at 16. A service ace by sophomore Kate Gibson helped the Rebels to take a slight bump in the lead. Georgia stayed close until back-to-back kills by senior Ty Laporte and sophomore Lexi Thompson sealed the deal. The Rebels took the first set 25-21. The second set started out in Georgia’s favor as sophomore Maddie Lobenstein made a kill in the first play. Her point was followed by two consecutive service aces by sophomore Cassidy Anderson. The duration of the second set remained close as the Rebels struggled with several service errors. Three lethal attacks at the net by Laporte gave Ole Miss the help they needed to grind out the 25-23 win.
FILE PHOTO: ARIEL COBBERT
Nakeyta Claire and Aubrey Edie go up for a hit at the game last week. The Rebels came out stronger in the third set than they did in the previous two. Major kills by freshman Kathryn Cather and key assists by junior Aubrey Edie helped Ole Miss jump out to a 21-13 lead. They began to slip after that. The Bulldogs rallied to cut the lead to 23-20. However, senior Nakeyta Clair saved the day. Two hard hit kills at the 10-foot line from Clair helped solidify the third win and wrap up the evening for the Rebels. Key offensive components for the Rebels were Clair, Laporte and Thompson. The three players totaled 30 kills collectively. This was the second Friday in a row the trio performed well at the
net and helped Ole Miss to secure a strong conference win.
“I feel that our focus in practice on being aggressive at the net helped with a lot of the kills we created,” Laporte said. “We really focused on the details this week because a lot of times the details get lost. It was good that we put in extra time as individuals this week, and it showed in our match.” Georgia was led by Lobenstein, who had nine kills. The Bulldogs left the series with a 5-10 record (0-3 SEC). Junior Aubrey Edie has a total of 30 assists for the evening, totaling 3,025 for her career thus far. As of last night, Edie is just the second player in Ole Miss volleyball history to have over 3,000 assists. However, she doesn’t want
her personal achievements to be her motivation to perform well. She is more concerned with the success of her team. “I try not to think about those things when I play, but the career goal is always something to shoot for. It’s funny because with assists, my success depends on my hitters,” Edie said. “I just try to put them in position to be successful.” The Rebels are now 16-4 for the season (2-3 SEC). They will have a week to practice and refresh before they head to Columbia to take on South Carolina for the second time this season. After defeating them in Oxford, Ole Miss will have to face the Gamecocks on their home turf. The first serve is set for noon CST.

Rebels rise to the occasion, defeat New Mexico State

No one can argue it’s been an easy couple of weeks for the Rebels. Injuries, a tough game against Vanderbilt and a loss to Florida have certainly taken a toll on the Rebels, making the New Mexico State game a relief. The Ole Miss offense got back on track Saturday against New Mexico State and won 52-3. The game was a chance for the Rebels to get healthy and try to fix some of their offensive and defensive struggles before heading into the second half of the season, which looks to be more difficult than the first. “It was good to get back on the field and see our kids compete. It was good to play at home in front of our crowd in an early game,” Freeze said. “Hopefully we can use that time to rest and recover. There were some good individual efforts in this game.” Junior quarterback Chad Kelly had a solid outing, completing 24 of 33 passes for 384 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. “There’s a lot of smiling going on around here. We just have to get better, and we did that today,” Kelly said. “The offensive line did great, receivers ran great routes

It was a good day.” Junior receiver Laquon Treadwell also had a big day, catching eight passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns and looking a little more like the Treadwell of last season. However, Treadwell was modest about the day’s accomplishments. “It feels great, but I don’t want
to make this about me today. I just want to be humble about it, and I know we can get so much better,” Treadwell said. “I left a few plays on the field, and I just want to make it up.” Treadwell’s second touchdown came on what had to the play of the game. “I got pushed off my route and knew I couldn’t let it affect me,
so I couldn’t get two hands on it,” Treadwell said. “I just stuck one out and was able to let out my passion I have for the game when I got in the end zone because I had dropped a lot of balls that I should be catching, and I just needed a stepping-stone.” Freeze had some powerful words after the game, not holding back the admission that he need-
ed to be more passionate for the team but also calling out some of the team’s biggest issues. “Here’s the deal with this team and our coaching staff. We’ve got to understand the amount of energy and focus that it takes to put into every single play in order for each one to be successful,” Freeze said. “Every single play has a life of its own. You never know when a play is going to be a turning point in competitive football games, which is all we are about to see for the remainder of the year.” What bothered Freeze wasn’t the other team being successful because of a good play; rather, it was when his team didn’t execute the game plan. “It is a whole other thing for us to lineup and not execute the plan, and it causes us a negative play,” Freeze said. “Whether it is the punt return team, or the offense blowing a blocking assignment or the defense blowing their coverage, we still have these problems going on.” “We have to come in tomorrow and look at every single player as a coach and ask if they are doing everything they can. We have to ask ourselves the same thing as coaches,” Freeze said. “We did a lot of good things today, and we are going to enjoy this victory.”
