Chancellor comments on executive orders DM STAFF REPORT
Following the example of several other universities across the nation, Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter released a statement Sunday regarding recent executive action orders from President Donald Trump. The statement said little about the university's plans to handle Trump's ban on admitting refugees and citizens of several predominately Muslim countries. Instead, Vitter's statement said the university was still "gather-
ing information and evaluating the impact of executive orders." The statement instructed students and faculty who feel unsafe to contact the Office of International Programs. Similar statements were released over the weekend from Yale, Stanford University, MIT and many other universities. Some, like the email sent to all students at Chapman University, recommended students from affected areas who are cur-
rently outside of the country return as soon as possible and recommended those inside the country not leave. Students studying abroad who have visas or green cards have been denied reentry to the US, according to an article published by The Guardian. Currently, however, there are no programs listed in affected countries on the university's study abroad website. According to the Institute of International Education,
there are more than 17,000 students from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, the countries affected by the executive order, currently studying at American schools. According to the most recent report from the university's Institutional, Research, Effectiveness and Planning, there are no students on campus from these countries. This data is for the 2014-2015 school year, however; no more recent data is currently available.
A community workshop, Together Oxford, will be held tonight to allow the university and Oxford community to talk about today’s political climate and share their different perspectives on race and violence and other difficult topics. Tony Caldwell and Jandel Crutchfield with the Ole Miss Department of Social Work will moderate the event from 6-7:30 p.m. Monday at Paris-Yates Chapel. Caldwell and Crutchfield are professors of social work at the university’s Tupelo campus. The two first held Together Tupelo after the 2016 fatal shooting of unarmed local man, Antwun “Ronnie” Shumpert. In June 2016, Shumpert was shot by officer Tyler Cook and transported to North Mississippi Medical Center where he died the next day at age 37. The grand jury cleared Cook of all charges. After this and other police shootings across the country, Caldwell and Crutchfield took it upon themselves to continue the conversation. “We wanted to bring the community together dealing with these issues,” Crutchfield said. “We are trying to embody social work values by leading this discussion.” Together Oxford is a follow-up event to Together Tupelo. Both workshops aim to get communities talking about what was going on with police brutality nationwide and in their hometown. Together Oxford is designed to include all walks of life, from students to other social workers. Jennifer Buford, clinical instructor of social work at Ole Miss, said what the people in her department are doing is much needed. “I was very pleased to hear

I trust the president on Dakota Access Pipeline
MIKALA TURNER
thedmopinion@gmail.com
One of Barack Obama’s final acts as president was setting the citizens’ of Standing Rock Indian Reservation minds at ease with the halt of construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline, which not
only threatened the tribe’s sacred land but also its water supply. The victory was short-lived. As of Monday, being his first active day as our new leader, President Donald Trump issued an array of executive orders. One of which stated that construction on both the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines should resume. His defense was that the pipeline would create 28,000 jobs for our country, and that it is too important to lose those possible jobs that oil producers in the north-central United States and the nation of Canada could create as a result of its construction.

As an avid supporter of the Standing Rock protests that occurred late last year, I am infuriated by President Trump’s decision, but I also feel somewhat hopeful. I do agree with President Trump’s statement about the needed employment increase. Although, the thought of what the indigenous people of the United States will be expected to give up if they are forced to let a dangerous pipeline ravage their home does come to mind when considering the consequences of this presidential command. Will they be asked to give up more of their land for our economic growth? Perhaps
be forced to reject their culture and go through a second plague of “Americanization?” We do not know how far this executive order could go. President Trump’s executive order does not only hold strict sorrows though. It does promise to renegotiate the terms of the pipelines, although Trump never directly stated that he would renegotiate the terms in favor of the Sioux tribe. So, are we supposed to trust that this new leader of ours will make the right decision for not only our economy but the unity of our country? Are we supposed to trust that he will put himself into the shoes
of those citizens who fear these pipelines and make the decision to help them while also helping our nation? The answer is yes. Just like I had to learn to establish faith in Trump after the election, I must do this again now. I must believe that he will do the right thing for all people, not just big businesses and reroute the pipeline so that it will not be constructed in vain of the Sioux tribe’s wishes but will also appease the need for employment in our nation.

that they are doing something like this in conjunction with the political climate,” Buford said. “I was excited to see the social work faculty stepping up, it is a need for the community.” Buford has been with the university for five years and said she has personally experienced racial issues being a woman of color. She said she is optimistic about what the social work department is doing to address and react to issues like this. “I think that it is important that the voice of the people, especially minorities, are being heard,” Buford said. “We get an opportunity to express opinions, speak freely and advocate for rights as students and citizens… We all have an obligation to support that process.” Crutchfield said the Together Oxford workshop will focus on participants comparing their views with others, because she believes it is important to see different perspectives in order to have a better understanding of issues. “We want to research the cultural confidence and how to work better with clients dealing with race and color,” Crutchfield said.
If House Bill 1325 and Senate Bill 2611 do not pass out of the respective appropriations committees by midnight Tuesday night, the bills die. Hughes gave attendees a list of representatives and senators to call and text. Hughes said when legislatures see a local area code on a message, it means more to them than the number of shares on a Facebook post or an email, saying social media was not enough. Wayne Andrews, executive director of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council, spoke at the event as well. Andrews said he is concerned about future funding for the arts throughout the state. Andrews said the Arts Commission does not just provide grants to local individuals, but to dozens of other organizations in the area including schools, libraries and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. YAC uses funds from MAC to re-grant the money in support of other local art and cultural events such as Sarahfest, the Oxford Film Festival, Thacker Mountain Radio and dozens of

Andrews said local art festivals continue to brings in two

The CW’s ‘Riverdale’ looks good but lacks soul MATT BARNHOUSE
mlbarnth@go.olemiss.edu
“Riverdale” looks good on the surface, but in practice is everything that is wrong with teen TV. The CW has tainted a classic set of characters with lazy dialogue, a plot that extends beyond the suspension of belief and a shameless “sex sells” approach that does not fit the Archie universe. The show is based on the “Archie” comic book series, which revolves around the life of the “All-American” guy Archie Andrews and his teenage life balancing dating Betty and Veronica, playing sports, going to class, and hanging with his underachieving friend Jughead. It always had a very campy, wholesome feel in a similar vein to “The Brady Bunch” or “The Waltons.” It is typically a very family-friendly series. “Riverdale” attempts to make a darker, more mature look at small town life. It isn’t the overly-cheesy wholesome town that is depicted in the comics. “Riverdale” is ripe with scandal. Mysterious deaths, inappropriate teacher-student relationships and psycho cheerleaders infect the town. Everybody appears to have a secret. On the surface, this sounds like an intriguing plot. In execution, it fails miserably due to lazy writing. The pilot episode is filled with cheap thrills and tropes that have been seen in just about every single teen drama of the past decade. In fact, if one had never heard of “Archie” before, one could assume this show was a sequel to “One Tree Hill.” That’s the problem. What made Archie great was the fact that the universe is overtly cheesy and wholesome. There is a certain campy charm that came with it. That is not to say that one can’t make a more mature, darker show set in the Archie universe, but merely to say that it is a shame that one was made with characters and plot points indistinguishable from just about every other teen drama. It is generic. “Riverdale” deserves better. Once again, it isn’t impossible to take something campy, and turn it into something mature. “Riverdale” had a chance to tackle real teen issues, and perhaps put the characters into situations that wouldn’t necessarily be appropriate for the comic. Unfortunately, the writers decided to turn it into “fake lesbian” kisses at cheerleading tryouts, and “hot for teacher”
affairs that are seen in many soap operas. However, one positive about “Riverdale” is that the production value is quite high. Where the writing fails, the set design succeeds. All characters casted look like the characters in the comics. The lighting creates a dark, eerie mood that the show attempts to create. It’s just a shame that the writing is so bad that it outweighs any aesthetically pleasing feature of the show. It’s nice to look at. The characters are good-looking, if not too good-looking. One could argue that it makes sense, because it shows the facade of the “perfect small town,” but at the same time, the lack of any average looking people in the cast makes the show less believable. The acting of the main characters is actually not that bad. They do the best they can given the dreadful script. The cast appears to have pretty decent chemistry, and it gives hope that if the writing of the show can improve, then perhaps “Riverdale” can eventually become a pretty good show. In conclusion, “Riverdale” is an aesthetically pleasing, well-casted show that is bogged down by terrible writing, and insulting plot points. Everything about the show screams “wasted potential.” “Riverdale” looks good, but has no soul. It’s an insult to fans of the “Archie” universe, as well as those in pursuit of quality television. Final Verdict: 4/10 Riverdale airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on the CW network.

Rebels snap four game skid with win over Georgia MAGGIE CROUCH
thedmsports@gmail.com
Despite being outscored in three of the four quarters in their game against Georgia, Ole Miss fought, and managed to find a way to come out on top with a 69-62 win Sunday afternoon. It was a rough first half for the Rebels, and things were not looking up as they went into halftime down 34-26. “We talked a lot about toughness at halftime, and then I saw the basketball team that we’ve seen the majority of this year come out in the third quarter and win that game,” head coach Matt Insell said. “That’s the first time I’ve seen them in about three weeks.” A struggling group had its backs against the wall in the halftime locker room. The Rebels had lost four in a row, and Insell knew how badly his team needed this win. “When you start getting beat, you lose your confidence,” said Insell. “I didn’t care how we won today, we just needed a win.” The Georgia Bulldogs came out ready to fight, holding a lead over the Lady Rebels for
the first half of the game. “It was a grind, and I knew it was going to be,” said Insell. “Georgia is a very physical, great team, and they’re in the same boat we’re in where they have good days and bad days.” Once the Rebels gained the lead over the Bulldogs in the third quarter, they never looked back and ultimately outscored Georgia 25-7 in that quarter, allowing them to take control of the game. One of the four players who scored double digits, Shelby Gibson, had 12 points and overcame a “freshman wall,” Insell said. “Shelby came out like she’s done all year where she just plays extremely hard,” Insell said. “She pushed through her wall and coming out here today, she kept us in the game.” Madinah Muhammad, Shandricka Sessom and Alissa Alston also all hit double digits in points, Muhammad leading with 19 total points. All their hard work and a win under their belt calls for week of rest according to Insell. “We needed this win before having time off,” Insell said. “We’re going to use a couple days this week to fix a couple

Rebels can’t finish down the stretch against Baylor BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
The conditions looked favorable for an upset for a while on Saturday night. A lively crowd watched Ole Miss (12-9, 3-5) put No. 5 Baylor (20-1, 7-1) on the ropes, up 10 points with 14 minutes remaining in the game. The Rebels had perhaps their best chance at a quality win to add to their resume while simultaneously christening The Pavilion with its first signature moment. But rebounding and execution failed them down the stretch and the Bears escaped Oxford with a 78-75 victory. Ole Miss held a 72-70 lead with 2:16 left on the clock, but three costly turnovers in the final minutes marred an otherwise cleanly played game by Ole Miss on the offensive end, and doomed its chances. “What’s crazy is that we had one turnover at the half,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “You’ve seen all of our games, it’s been problematic for us. As Breein Tyree has evolved into more of a primary ball-handler I think it has solved some of our issues, and we had four big ones down the stretch.” Tyree had 18 of his 20 points in the second half, and kept the Rebels in the game despite the struggles of Deandre Burnett, who was just 1-10 from the field and tallied four points. Kennedy ran a lot of high ball screens for Tyree, and it allowed him to penetrate and get to the rim and foul line. Ole Miss was 22-23 from the free throw line on the night. “Winning one-on-ones is not a lot of basketball terminology, but we use it a lot. You start saying, ‘Well we need to win this match up.’ Well he’s going up against an all-league caliber point guard and an older kid in number 20 (Manu Lecomte) and I thought he did a great job for us just keeping us in it,” Kennedy said of his freshman
point guard. But eventually Baylor overwhelmed Ole Miss with its size, winning the rebounding margin 37-27 and scoring 16 second-chance points. The Bears grabbed 13 offensive rebounds. “This is the second game in a row at home where we get destroyed on the glass, and you’re not going to win against quality teams,” Kennedy said. “Texas A&M beats us around 15 on the glass. They had 16 offensive rebounds. Today, we were minus 1o on the glass and they got 13 offensive rebounds. You’re not going to beat the second ranked team in the country in that regard.” All was well early on for Ole Miss. It controlled the tempo of the game. The players were making shots and the Rebels’ 1-3-1 and 2-3 zones were giving Baylor trouble. Ole Miss led 42-35 at halftime. Sebastian Saiz had 18 first-half points and was giving the Bears fits. But Baylor was more effective against the zone in the second half, shooting 53.8 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes. It forced the Rebels to play man-toman, which got them in foul trouble. Saiz picked up his fourth foul with more than nine minutes remaining. It forced Ole Miss to revert back to the zone, which certainly did not help its rebounding efforts. Baylor quickly shaved the deficit to down to five at 54-49, then it got to two, and then Baylor took its first lead of the game with 10 minutes to go at 56-54 in the midst of a 20-6 run. Johnathan Motley and Jo Lual-Acuil Jr scored 16 points each for Baylor and Lecomte Manu led with 17. “I know with our team, we’ve got really good leadership and good veterans. When you get down on the road and don’t have that, you’re probably not coming back,” Baylor head coach Scott Drew said. “So even though we didn’t execute as

The crowd was great, but I’m really proud of us keeping our poise.” Baylor began to double Saiz, and it was effective as the senior forward scored just four points in the second half. Tyree did his best to keep the
Rebels alive, but there wasn’t enough offensive behind them. Ole Miss shot just 33.3 percent in the second half, going 8-24 from the field. “I was being a little bit more aggressive in attacking the rim and trying to get to the line, and the ball was going in so good things happened,” Tyree said. It was frustrating defeat
that spoiled a valiant effort from a team that is struggling to find its identity. The reoccurring issues emerged once more and helped produce a bitter ninth loss for Ole Miss. “I’m proud of my guys’ effort. I thought they played really hard,” Kennedy said. “If they’ll play this hard for the remainder of the season, then we’ll win some more games.”
