unique Jones has spent the last four years documenting and celebrating historic black leaders. This Black History Month, she will deliver the university's keynote address at 6 p.m.

Monday in Fulton Chapel.

Jones is a photographer and uses her art to celebrate men and women of the past who have paved the way for young Americans like herself.

In 2013 she launched the campaign that inspired this year's Black History Month theme: "Because of Them We Can." Each day that February, Jones posted a picture of a black child dressed and posed like a black historical figure.

This project was meant to

remind young people of past activists' struggles and to inspire them to make their own statement. The message behind her "Because of Them We Can" project caught momentum and spread nationally.

"On the last day of February, with just 28 photographs in my collection, I decided to resign from my job in order to continue the campaign," Jones wrote on the project's Facebook page.

Tonight, Jones will discuss the creation and driving principles behind the virally successful movement. Tickets for the event are on sale through the Ford Center box office, and seating is limited.

Equestrian team grows toward hosting its first show LYNDY BERRYHILL

thedmnews@gmail.com

Collegiate equestrian teams across Mississippi are working to build their programs and attract more competition within their leagues.

The Ole Miss Equestrian Team recently competed in a scrimmage against the two other teams at Mississippi College and Mississippi State University.

Mississippi State’s equestrian team is based out of Redbud Farm Equestrian and was founded in 2001. Mississippi College’s team is based out of Providence Hill Farm and was founded in 2007.

Ole Miss’s equestrian team was founded relatively recently in 2015, but already has more than 30 members. The team practices and is based out of Hunters Edge Stables in Collierville, Tennessee.

All three schools compete in English and western style shows.

“Over the years I’ve had Ole Miss girls come to my barn to take lessons,” said Beanie Cone, Ole Miss Equestrian team coach. “In the fall 2015 one of the Ole Miss students, came to me wanting me to coach the IHSA (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association) team.”

Cone is also the owner of Hunters Edge Stables.

Cone said the Ole Miss team is planning on competing within the Mississippi circuit, not for points or awards, but to strengthen the team with healthy competition and experience.

The first scrimmage between these three Mississippi schools took place Feb. 3 and was dubbed the “Mississippi Challenge.” Teams competed in English against one

What is so bad about millennials and their lifestyles?

MIKALA TURNER

thedmopinion@gmail.com

In today’s media, you see an overflow of negative commentary in regards to the millennials, often from conservative Republicans who more than likely voted for Donald Trump.

Millennials are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as people being born between the years of 1982 and 2000.

We make also make up about a quarter of the nation’s entire population and have overtaken the “baby-boomers” title of the largest generation. We also have the tendency to be deemed lazy, uninvolved in politics and uneducated, at least according to stereotypes.

Now, as a millennial, I am offended by this — which seems to be the one thing we are good at according to said conservatives.

Since when is being a millennial a bad thing? Personally, I think we are one of the most understanding and

open-minded generations our society has ever produced.

So, allow me to squash a few mistaken notions about millennials.

They say we want everything handed to us on a silver platter and that we do not want to have to truly work for anything.

Actually, according to Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C., millennials make up almost half of the U.S. labor force. On top of that, we also launched a total of about 16,000 start-up companies in 2014 and accounted for one third of the total amount of entrepreneurs in this country.

Granted, our jobs tend to be a little bit different than

al generation, that is not true either. An estimated 24 million young people voted in the latest U.S. election.

At the end of the day, millennials will always be targeted by negativity about our generation. Although, it is when we start to believe that we as a generation of millennials are useless that we start to become that.

We are the new national power, and it is time that we realize we can use that stance to do something extraordinary.

the ones of the generations that came before us. About half of millennials consider themselves to be “content creators,” share content online and are employed by huge internet corporations like Google and YouTube. I know what you are thinking and, yes, these are real jobs.

We also seem to have more of our generation attending college and getting a good education that older generations. This is basically due to more and more women attending universities, a trend that was not as widespread in the late 1900s as it is today.

continued from page 1 another and compared scores with other college programs, but the scores did not count toward their division ranking.

“We do plan on doing these types of scrimmages more often because they are great practices,” Cone said.

The Ole Miss team already competes with the two other Mississippi programs and 16 other schools from across their zone as well as collegiate teams in Alabama and Georgia.

But in every show the Ole Miss teams have competed, they have had to travel out of state to compete against schools less than three hours away. All of the competitions that have counted toward ranking in their zones have been in Alabama and Georgia.

Ole Miss Equestrian team member Emma Kate Thome, a junior communication sciences and disorders major, said she grew up competing in high school level horseback compe-

titions.

Thome said she would love to have some competitions closer to Oxford, so the team would not have to travel extensively for every single show.

The Ole Miss team traveled three weekends in a row for both English and Western competitions. Because of the distance to Hunters Edge Stables from campus, most team members already travel more than an hour each time they practice.

“You have to build up programs,” Thome said of hosting an accredited competition. “As we keep growing ... we’ll get to host shows.”

Thome said she is excited about one day hosting a recognized competition, but she has enjoyed competing against fellow Mississippi teams.

Thome said the scrimmages against other in-state schools helps get the word out about the programs and generates interest in the teams’ success.

“We were just excited for girls to come out and see all three Mississippi teams together,” Thome said.” It’s all on each other to grow.”

Empty Bowls group feeds the hungry this Valentines

BRIANA FLOREZ

thedmnews@gmail.com

Local volunteers will seek to end hunger this Valentine’s Day at the non-profit organization the Pantry’s 13th annual “Empty Bowls” fundraiser.

The Pantry has been feeding Oxford and Lafayette county residents since 1982. At their annual fundraiser, attendees can donate $20 for a handpainted bowl of soup, slice of bread and glass of water. This year, the fundraiser will be held at the Oxford Conference Center, off of Sisk Avenue, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

“The bowls will serve as a reminder of the meal’s purpose,” Pantry board member Barbara Smith said. “Someone’s bowl is always empty.”

The Empty Bowls fundraiser is part of an international fundraising campaign raising $13,000 to $14,000 every year.

Proceeds from Oxford’s Empty Bowls event, will go towards the Pantry’s expenses, including building maintenance and food purchases for the Pantry’s guests.

Empty Bowls’ national website says the fundraiser is a part of Imagine Render, a non-profit organization that seeks to create positive and lasting change

through arts and education projects.

Smith said the organization relies on the generous people of the Oxford community.

“We rely on individual and community monetary donations, food drives and individual food donations,” Smith said.

“Last year we fed 1000 individuals a month. Volunteer individuals, church groups and civic organizations service the pantry on a monthly basis.”

Smith said she expects the event to be able to support a large crowd with ample parking, and encourages any prospective donors to reach out to the Pantry.

Attendees will choose from 23 different types of gourmet soups and breads donated by various restaurants and bakeries. Ajax’s Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Boure’s Steak and Po-

tato and Proud Larry’s Chicken Florentine will round out the menu.

Attendees will receive an empty collector’s bowl, made my by local potters and the Ole Miss “Mud Daubers” pottery club. The Mud Daubers, led by assistant professor Matt Long, are a group of advanced student ceramicists that donate nearly 500 bowls for this event each year.

Ajax Diner expediter, Brett Kowalski said the restaurant is happy to be able to contribute to the fundraiser.

“Ajax enjoys giving back to the community and supporting those that support us,” Kowalski said. “It is important to recognize that we serve plates of food to customers every day, however others don’t get to experience that. No one should ever be left unfed.”

Local hip-hop artist values creative freedom

JONATHAN GIBSON

jgibson@go.olemiss.edu

For local R&B songwriter and producer Fred Nice, the decision to make music was a simple one. Music spoke to him in ways that no other medium could, and the messages he could send through melodies and lyrics captivated him.

“Growing up knowing that all these local artists — Juicy J, Playa Fly — were just an hour up the road,” Nice said with a grin, staring off reflectively. “And knowing that my friends, my cousins were fanatics, I wanted to have that kind of effect. I wanted that kind of voice.”

A native of Oxford, Nice began his career at 16, making beats and samples for local artists on his mother’s computer in his kitchen.

He struggled in high school to find his niche. For Nice, school was “very academics and sports driven,” and that made pursuing his dream of making music difficult.

“I wasn’t pushed toward arts, really,” said Nice. “School was all about getting in the books and finding a ball you liked — baseball, football, basketball.”

Nice said he learned all his skills from YouTube and watching others play piano or work with editing software.

“I see people playing,” Nice said. “I ask them to come over to the studio, do their thing for a while, and while they’re playing, I just learn something off of them.

“It’s nice to find people that don’t mind giving you a hand if you need it.”

As he continued to grow as a musician, he found his expectations changing drastically.

He realized what people see on television and in magazines is not what music is all about.

“There’s a machine behind it,” Nice said. “The popular stuff, the stuff everyone listens to — that’s all company driven.”

Nice said he found his place among independent, local artists. He enjoyed the freedom to write the way he wanted to write, not how a label wanted him to.

“Those [artists] have a happier life, I think. They get to talk about what they want to talk about,” Nice said. “When you’re a mainstream artist, you have to worry about how people feel, you have to be politically correct most of the time. When you’re just doing it to do it, you can express yourself more.”

With this freedom of expression, Nice said he could write about things most hip-hop and rap artists chose not to. He said the “lovey-dovey stuff” and talking about getting his heart

broken is the core of his message, topics he feels many male artists in the rap industry shy away from.

“Most male artists talk a lot about hurting other people, but not about them getting hurt,” Nice said. “I like talking about that kind of stuff from my perspective. Girls hurt dudes just like dudes hurt girls, you know?”

Maintaining that consistent message has been Nice’s biggest priority.

“New artists come around every year and you know which ones are gonna stick around,” Nice said. “It’s the ones that have some sort of clear subject, a clear idea. The ones that are genuine, you can see that, you can tell.”

Nice has been working for the past year on his new record, “Way 2 Nice,” which is set to release April 4. His previous album, “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” is available to listen on Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal.

Despite the struggles of being an independent artist in an increasingly competitive music industry, Nice said he is excited to see what the future holds.

“I hope to be established as a writer someday,” Nice said.

“Maybe have a studio or something. But really, I just want to come back home and have something that’s mine because of my music. That’s the dream.”

Ole Miss opened the 2017 softball season this weekend with three wins and a loss at the Easton Invitational. In impressive fashion, the Rebels held their opponents to a combined total of two runs and posted 17 themselves.

With a good mix of experienced players and fresh faces, Ole Miss softball fans have reason to be excited.

Loyola Marymount was first up for the Rebels on Friday night. Junior Kaitlin Lee, getting her first Division 1 start, held the Lions to just one hit on 68 pitches.

Kylan Becker went yard in the third inning and big hits from Elantra Cox and Miranda Strother helped push the Rebels to a 2-0 victory.

On Saturday, the Rebels finished Pacific University off in a brief 9-0 victory. Showing their offensive prowess yet again, Cox and Becker combined for four hits on the day while Strother drove in two RBIs. Left-handed pitcher Alyssa Clayton allowed just five hits and stranded eight Pacific runners on base. The game was called after five innings, and the Rebels improved to 2-0 on the weekend.

Later that day, North Dakota State took the field in what would prove to be the Rebels’ toughest matchup.

Mississippi State’s size downs Rebels 66-44 HALEY MYATT

thedmsports@gmail.com

No. 4 Mississippi State controlled from start to finish in its 66-44 win over Ole Miss Sunday night.

The Rebels had a hard time shooting in the first half and were outscored 24-4 in the second quarter. The Bulldogs made 23 points off of Ole Miss’ 21 turnovers in the contest.

Mississippi State’s hard defensive press early on allowed them to gain a 23-point lead in the first half against the Ole Miss.

A high-fouling game between both teams, five Rebels had two or more fouls in just the first half and ended the game with 26 fouls versus the Lady Bulldogs 20 fouls. In addition, the Bulldogs out rebounded the Rebels 52-37.

Head coach Matt Insell said he was proud of the effort his players showed the first quarter, yet he felt like they were missing easy shots and lost some aggression unlike their opponent.

“The stats speak for themselves. They just out hustled us. I thought I was going to lose my hair and was so frustrated with them because only one player would go after a lose ball,” Insell said.

Forward Teaira McCowan led MSU and played a total of 31 minutes. Despite the effort to stop the 6-foot-7-inch forward, Ole Miss could not stop her 18 rebounds and 17 points. Insell said he told his girls to limit her space, yet her height dominated.

“They threw it to the corner

of the backboard to Teaira and there wasn’t a lot we could do.

They put her on the block and she would just tip it in. She could probably start for their men’s team,” Insell said.

While the Rebels had a comeback the third quarter, outscoring MSU 16-12, they were not able to close the gap they had made the first half of the game.

Lead scorers for Ole Miss included guard Erika Sisk with the lead score of 14 points, forward Taylor Manuel and guard Madinah Muhammad.

Despite the loss, the Lady Rebs teamed up with the Baptist Memorial Cancer Center to honor local breast cancer survivors in their ninth annual “Tickled Pink” game. Insell said they had had some breast cancer survivors come in the locker room before the game to discuss energy, enthusiasm and toughness.

Ole Miss guard Madinah Muhammad and Mississippi State guard Dominique Gillingham battle during Sunday night’s game. Lady Rebels fall short 66-44.

Ole Miss’ record is now 15-10, 4-8 in SEC play, and returns to action against Au-

burn at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Pavilion.

“We got four games left and

we will be ready to go next game,” Insell said.

Rebels erase 23-point deficit to down Auburn 90-84 BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com

Head coach Andy Kennedy didn’t want to disclose what he said to his team that was down by 20 to Auburn at halftime, but whatever it was certainly hit home because the Rebels erased a lethargic opening 20 minutes and a 23-point deficit to beat Auburn 90-84.

“Obviously, when you’re down as much as we were you’ve got to throw caution to the wind and put guys out there that you feel like can ignite you and that’s what we did to start the second half,” Kennedy said.

That proverbial spark came in the form of Terence Davis, who went 11-13 from the field and dropped 26 second-half points to energize the Rebels as the comeback made its ascent. Cullen Neal followed with 20 of his own and Deandre Burnett added 18.

“My mindset. I came into the game and was into myself.

I got into foul trouble early, that was the main reason I came off the bench. Obviously that didn’t work,” Davis said.

“I gathered myself in the locker room and came out in the second half strong.”

Sebastian Saiz goes up for a shot in a game earlier this season against Mississippi State. in an effort to keep him out of bench with two fouls. But his foul trouble. That proved to explosion in the final 20 minbe futile because Davis spent utes was vital for an Ole Miss most of the first half on the team that is now 15-10 and

6-6 in SEC play.

“In the open floor, he’s as good as we’ve got,” Kennedy said. “In the open floor he’s got the ability to contort his body and make plays. Obviously, he is athletic and can make plays going north and south. We try to get him there, but in order to do that you’ve got to defend, you’ve got to defensive rebound and you’ve got to make good decisions.”

The first half was a poor one for Ole Miss. Auburn took a 47-27 lead into the break largely due to shooting 58 percent from the field, and canning eight three-pointers.

The Tigers moved the ball at will against the Rebels’ zone. Ronnie Johnson had 18 points in the game to lead Auburn, and Mustapha Heron scored 16.

Ole Miss went just 9-33 in the first half, but the final 20 minutes was a far different story as the Rebels went 2032 and scored 63 points to cap the comeback. They cut into the lead quickly, dwindling it to just nine points with 12 minutes left to play. Ole Miss continue to chip away until it rattled off a 15-4 run that began around the six-minute mark to take a 78-73 and grab control of the game.

“This is the most disappointing loss that I’ve had at Auburn in my two-and-a-half years,” Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl said. “Ole Miss played great in the second half and deserved to win.”

A frustrated Pearl pointed out the Rebels being the more aggressive team, getting to the free-throw line more often. Ole Miss shot 31 free throws to Auburn’s eight, making 27 of them.

“You’ve got to take the ball into contact. They did. We did not and I thought that was the difference,” Pearl said. “We also turned it over too much and didn’t get back in transition. They scored a lot of points in transition that they didn’t in the first half.”

Davis and the Rebels preyed on the Auburn miscues, running the floor and scoring on the fast break. That was why they were able to tie the largest comeback in school history, trailing by as many as 23 points in the game.

“We had to start playing.

It was a goal of ours to come out and guard as hard as we could,” Neal said. “We just wanted to keep attacking and being aggressive. We knew we were going to keep making runs, and we just wanted to keep it going.”
