UM group Volleyball team captain dies in car crash to benefit local food pantry LANA FERGUSON

The death of record-setting volleyball player and track and field athlete Ty Laporte left the Oxford and University community in mourning. She was 23 and in her final semester at the University.

Mississippi Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Ray Hall said Laporte died in a two-vehicle crash involving an 18-wheeler Thursday night. The wreck happened at the intersection of Mississippi Highway 7 and U.S. Highway 72, north of Oxford near the Tennessee state line.

“We are shocked and deeply saddened by Ty’s death. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, her teammates, coaches and our staff during this difficult time,” Athletic Director Ross Bjork said in a press release Friday. “Everyone in the Ole Miss family offers our deepest sympathy to everyone who was touched by Ty’s amazing and infectious spirit.”

A memorial fund has been created to help the Laporte family with funeral expenses and assist her family. Contributors can send donations to the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation or by visiting TyLaporteFund. com. Ole Miss Athletic Foundation tweeted over $2,700

“Our volleyball family is so heartbroken today with this news,” volleyball Coach Steven McRoberts said in a news release Friday. “Ty’s smile would light up the room and her passion was contagious. She was loved by all of her teammates and coaches. Ty will be greatly missed by not only the volleyball team but the whole Ole Miss community.”

South Carolina native

Laporte was a four-year member of the volleyball and track and field teams and an honor roll student.

During her final two years under McRoberts, she helped lead the volleyball team to consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in nearly three decades and was ranked in the top 10 in the SEC in hitting percentage her senior year.

Laporte finished her volleyball career ranked fifth all-time in program history in kills (999)

and third in both block assists (280) and total blocks (334).

She also finished ranked ninth in school history in the outdoor high jump with a personal record mark of 5-feet7.75-inches.

Moments of silence were observed at University events like the Black Student Union Black History Month Gala Friday and the men’s basketball game Saturday. The basketball team also wore patches on their uniforms in memory of Laporte.

Empty Bowls, an annual luncheon event benefitting Oxford’s Food Pantry, will be celebrating its 13th year in Oxford from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Tuesday at Oxford-University United Methodist Church.

Admission is $20 and includes soup, water and a ceramic bowl created by a local artist.

Empty Bowls is an international grassroots movement to help end hunger. Oxford’s event is a cumulative volunteer effort from people all over the community.

The bowls used for the event are made and donated by the UM Mud Daubers, a group of advanced student ceramicists, and other local artists.

Professor Matt Long works with the Mud Daubers and said there were 16 potters helping to make bowls for this year’s event.

New city ordinances increase food truck locations TAYLOR BENNETT

tbennett@go.olemiss.edu

The efforts of YoknapaTaco truck owner Jake Sessums and assistant city planner Ben Requet have formed new city ordinances making it easier for food trucks to operate within city limits and in apartment complexes.

Article IV was added to section 66 of the code of ordinances of the city of Oxford, outlining specific rules for mobile food vending within city limits in January.

The addition gave mobile food vendors permission to sell food in

Oxford with a license and outlined specific rules regarding the location and operation of the trucks.

According to Requet, the city is currently amending the ordinance to allow a food truck vendor to sell within multi-unit residential complexes by special exception.

Requet said he started receiving inquiries about food truck regulations last summer and discovered that the rules in Oxford were very limited.

“I don’t think it was quite enough information,” Requet said. “So, I kind of set out on a quest for at least putting together

a better framework for us to work with them with food trucks.”

Requet said he’s been to several cities that embrace food trucks, and he thinks it is a really good opportunity as long as it doesn’t threaten the quality of life in Oxford.

“I think when we developed this ordinance, we were pretty mindful of developing a sound policy, so we worked with Jake Sessums of YoknapaTaco to kind of see what were the challenges that he’s seen from the application process

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In response to “The dangerous appeal of Bernie” The premise of your “The dangerous appeal of Bernie Sanders” column misunderstands that a taxpayer with a $250,000 yearly income does not constitute “the wealthy” that “Bernie and his ilk” demand pay their fair share of taxes.

The truly wealthy citizens and corporations, also known as “the 1 percent,” do not include the vast majority of these small business people who create most of the sustainable jobs in this country.

Revenue losses in the United States from tax avoidance and evasion by corporations and billionaires are difficult to determine, but congressional sources estimate the annual cost of offshore tax abuses through the use of multi-national tax shelters exceed $100 billion per year.

(See U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, Staff Report on Dividend Tax Abuse, Sept. 11, 2008.) The massive transfer of wealth from taxpayers and investors to the big banks and corporations that occurred in the 2008 financial crisis is not seen as a type of “socialism,” yet the mere mention of a transfer of wealth back to working Americans, both small business and wage-earners, brings visceral reactions from the most unexpected corners of the nation who have no liability at stake in today’s tax-equality movement.

The shame expressed by the column writer “when I beheld a sea of liberal arts students waving signs and chanting for a socialist septuagenarian” needlessly belittles older Americans and young voters who disagree and are fed-up with the “failed ideology” pushed on our people in order to protect the interests of the truly wealthy.

Slogan arguments like “[t]he wealthy are the engines of our economy, not some mustachioed cadre out to extort us” are wornout distortions promoted by the so-called “job creators.”

Encouraging voters to “quit thinking about yourselves” only advances the status quo of protecting the accumulated wealth of billionaires and multi-national corporations who effectively stockpile their money from the pockets of honest taxpayers.

“However, blaming honest and profitable employers shows a knowledge of economics as thin as the paper this is printed on.”

Newsprint is as thin as the basis and the conclusions of this piece.

up until operation at this point,” Requet said. “He was very helpful and insightful in some of these things.”

Sessums explained to Requet the processes he went through to start his taco truck to help provide guidelines for the changes. Requet added that he also utilized food truck ordinances from around the state and country.

“That was always the plan— to use this truck as a template and really work with the city of Oxford to develop what was then an absent guideline for how food trucks could, would work in this town,” Sessums said.

According to Sessums, YoknapaTaco currently sets up shop next to Jones at Home every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night from 10:30 p.m. until 30 minutes after the bar closes or when the truck runs out of food.

“I would love to see a more variable late-night scene though, for sure,” Sessums said. “But for that to be the case, we need more food trucks here.”

Mobile Food Vending yearly permits cost $275 per unit in Oxford.

In relation to Ole Miss, Sessums said a lot of red tape involving

a voluntary event,” Long said.

“We welcome anyone who can make a bowl.”

The project made its way to Oxford in 2003 when former Ceramics Professor Ron Dale approached former Food Pantry manager June Rosentreter with the idea. The pantry’s volunteers help with the event every year as well.

Rosentreter said about 90 percent of the volunteers at the luncheon will be pantry volunteers.

Today, all proceeds raised at the event are used to help the pantry in many ways, from building maintenance to buying food for the pantry’s patrons.

“A lot of the food we buy locally,” Rosentreter said. “The building is a trailer, so it is not very well insulated, so we have electric and heat bills we need to pay.”

The event has raised more than $16,000 in previous years.

Attendees of the Yoknapalooza festival wait in line for tacos from the YoknapaTaco truck. preexisting contracts the University holds with their food providers currently makes it difficult for outside vendors to sell individual products to consumers.

Sessums said he hopes to work with the University in bringing food trucks on campus.

“Imagine 10 to 15 food trucks

lining the Grove on a football Saturday,” Sessums said. “Wouldn’t that be great?”

Sessums currently runs an operation called The Hick Wallflower, which began as a space to prepare and store food for YoknapaTaco and has expanded to offer event promotion and business

consulting for others looking to venture into mobile vending.

“Being that I am one of, if not the first, to do something like this here in Oxford, I have been lucky to be involved, even if indirectly, with the process of putting the ordinance together,” Sessums said.

The long road to Kanye’s new album: WILL CROCKETT

jwcrocke@go.olemiss.edu

First it was “So Help Me God,” then it switched to “Swish,” before becoming “Waves,” until ultimately Kanye West and company landed on “The Life of Pablo” as the title for Yeezy’s latest album.

“The Life of Pablo” was long-awaited, ever since Kanye began releasing singles early on in 2015. “Only One,” “FourFiveSeconds” and “All Day” had their airtime, their hype, their place in the musical history book of 2015— but then the book was closed, the epilogue read as the new year was rung in, and there was no chapter, paragraph or even a sentence about Kanye’s latest album. People all over the world were beginning to question whether or not an album even existed. Why make them wait so long?

Tracks like “Wolves” and “Fade” were debuted at fashion shows toward the end of the year and, “No More Parties in LA” was released in mid-January.

These songs were the only true tastes of what the album with

almost as many names as Kanye himself would include, yet things were delaying the release.

The track list was constantly changing. On Jan. 24, Kanye tweeted “So happy to be done with the greatest album of all time,” with a picture of his handwritten track list, 10 songs long, its legibility somewhere in between your childhood pediatrician’s prescription pad and that one time you attempted your signature left-handed.

By Jan. 26 the album was 12 songs long, had been separated into three acts and renamed “Waves.” Messages like “Swizz (Swizz Beatz) Is Here” found their way onto the page like the names of neighborhood kids find themselves engraved in freshly-poured pavement on the sidewalk, caught in the perfect moment before it’s dry and done forever.

The pavement wasn’t dry though, not yet. On Feb.10, one more name change and Wiz Khalifa Twitter outburst later, the album was “The Life of Pablo.” It was 10 songs long. The track “Waves,” which two weeks prior had been the title track of the album, was missing.

On Feb. 12 the wait for the al-

bum was seemingly over. Kanye had tweeted the “final” track list, now 17 songs long, and Ye said the album was being mastered and set to release later that day. But there was a problem: “Waves” was still missing from the track list. The song, which fellow Chicago artist Chance the Rapper helped to write and arrange, was a track that, and forgive me for this, Chance couldn’t take a chance on. The minutes trickled away as the 12th turned into the 13th. Kanye’s album hadn’t been released. Chance was in the process of going to bat for “Waves” wearing his signature White Sox hat. Kanye would later blame Chance for delaying the album.

The following night, Kanye took the stage of Saturday Night Live, performing under a screen of pixelated clouds for “Low Lights” and “Highlights,” back to back. His second performance of the night, “Ultralight Beam,” found Kanye facedown on the stage as a gospel choir belted behind him, his arms outstretched as Kirk Franklin prayed over him. Before we knew it the choir had calmed, the prayer concluded, and Kanye was back up on the stage announcing the album was

out on his website, streaming on Tidal “right now” as he jumped around before falling into a hug with Franklin.

This time it was real. There weren’t any more songs to be added, no more questions or concerns. “The Life of Pablo” was now a completed and released, 18-track and 58 minutes long al-

bum. “Waves” had found its way back into the record. Chance had apparently hit hard enough.

The album is spiritual, gospel-influenced, seamlessly transitioning from track to track, producer to producer, the liner notes including superstars in their own right like Rihanna, The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar as

‘The Life of Pablo’ well as newcomers like Brooklyn rapper Desiigner, who many listeners will probably assume is Future on the first or second listen of “Freestyle 4” due to Desiigner’s very similar sound.

The album itself opens up with a message of faith, but also a warning that this album isn’t for those who aren’t fully aware of who Kanye is or what he’s trying to do. “We don’t want no doubters in the house,” a soundbite of a young girl proclaims to start the album, “we want the Lord.”

Kanye opens up, “We on an ultralight beam, we on an ultralight beam, this is a God dream.”

He asks for serenity, he asks for peace and love, prayers for Paris and parents as a choir of 30 joins him in the God dream.

The album goes on for 17 more songs, impossible to explore all of in this particular format, but something that everyone should do in his own time. The highlights of the album are plentiful, including “Ultralight Beam,” a prayer in itself asking for faith

but more at the same time, both parts of “Father Stretch My Hands,” when Kanye just wants to be liberated, apologizes for what he’s instigated, but asks if you can’t relate.

The song that’s most likely to dominate the radio for the rest of 2016 is the song that cost the album a day on the release date, “Waves,” with production that sticks out from Hudson Mohawke and Charlie Heat and vocals from Chris Brown. It’s a song that’s the most catchy and probably the most predictable on the album at the same time. “Waves don’t die/ let me crash into the moment,” sings Brown. “Sun don’t shine in the shade/ Birds don’t fly in a cage,” says Kanye over an increasingly arpeggiating choir-note. Is it a good song? Yes, but also predictable compared to the rest of the album.

The songs with the most substance seem to come from the Frank Ocean featured “Wolves,” where Kanye and Kim are metaphorically Joseph and Mary in

a club full of sheepskin covered wolves, but they’re okay, because they can at least see who the wolves are now; as well as “30 Hours,” as Kanye tracks his back and forth drives from Chicago to St. Louis, St. Louis to Chicago.

It’s music to drive to as the beat comes and in and goes out, over and over again, like the passing of white lines in the middle of the road perpetually replacing each other.

“The Life of Pablo” didn’t come easily — it took its time, angered people in the process, changed constantly from a 10-song album of bare essentials to an 18song album representative of the amount of time it took to arrive.

In the end, it was well worth the wait, full of future new favorite songs of Kanye lovers who’ve been with him since “The College Dropout.” Judging from the size of his smile after his Saturday Night Live performance this weekend, Kanye knew he was sitting on something great.

Andy Kennedy should be coach of the year. I say that jokingly, but he has done a great job at Ole Miss this year. His roster took a while to gel, and Kennedy and his leading scorer Stefan Moody kept the Rebels afloat. They now seem to be gelling. While time is not on the Rebels side, they’re not completely out of the postseason picture.

I’m shocked that a team that has Rick Stansbury on the coaching staff is faltering down the stretch. We have absolutely zero evidence that a team that has coaching from Rick Stansbury would not exactly finish the season great. This is quite irregular.

Okay, I’ll stop lying. The Aggies have lost four in a row, and look to stop the skid Tuesday as the Rebels come to town.

I never fully bought in on this South Carolina team, and Saturday didn’t do anything to change my mind. The Gamecocks were throttled 89-62 by Kentucky in what could have been a huge win for Frank Martin and his program. They don’t guard particularly well at times and sometimes struggle to find offense outside of Michael Carrera. South Carolina has a lot of work to do if they want to make some noise in March.

Ole Miss’ ‘team effort’ defeats Razorbacks 76-60 to lose this game if they have their sights set on playing meaningful games in late March.

BROWNING STUBBS

Ole Miss (16-9, 6-6 SEC) defeated Arkansas (12-13, 5-7 SEC) Saturday afternoon, keeping the Rebels’ NCAA tournament chances alive.

The Rebels’ leading scorer, Stefan Moody, tallied a single point in the first half— yet Ole Miss only trailed 37-35 at the break. The senior finished with 17 points on 4 of 17 shooting from the field, including 0 of 7 from 3-point range.

With Moody struggling, the Rebels had to find other scoring options to come out victorious, and they did. Ole Miss had four scorers in double-figures as Tomasz Gielo scored 15 points, Anthony Perez and Sebastian Saiz both added 11 points, and Marcanvis Hymon added 10 points along with 11 rebounds for his second double-double of the season.

“It was a team effort,” Coach Andy Kennedy said. “The game had no flow for us early, but in the second half we were able to put together multiple stops with our man-to-man defense, and that was encouraging.”

Mike Anderson, Arkansas head coach, said the game plan was to pay close attention to Moody and

QUOTE OF THE GAME:

Tomasz Gielo: “Every other team, all they can talk about is, ‘We have to stop Moody if we’re going to win.’ When you have other guys step up, the other team has to scratch their head. The best teams are the ones that are not one-way teams. We can’t just say, ‘Let’s try to win that game by having Stefan go for 40,’ even though he can do that. What matters is, can everyone else step up?”

FUN FACTS

Ole Miss held a 47-29 rebounding advantage over Arkansas.

Ole Miss held Arkansas’ leading scorer, Dusty Hannahs, scoreless.

“I thought that was going to be a big key. We were going to pay attention to Moody because he’s a tremendous player,” Anderson said. “I thought those other guys did a good job for them. You always worry about those other guys going off, and they did. That’s a credit to them, and Moody as

well.”

The Rebels have suddenly gotten healthy and are starting to get consistent production from Gielo and Perez. The Rebels have work to do, but the NCAA tournament is possible.

“There are no more excuses for us,” Gielo said. “We have everybody back. The team is relatively

healthy, and everybody is able to play. Now it’s time for us to step up and make the run when it matters.”

NEXT UP

Ole Miss will travel to College Station to take on a top-25 team in Texas A&M on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

The Aggies have lost four games in a row, and Ole Miss can’t afford

According to warrennolan.com, Ole Miss’ RPI is 87, and the Rebels only have one top 50 RPI win on their resume (Alabama). With six regular season games left on the schedule, Ole Miss would have a realistic shot to make the NCAA tournament if they finish 5-1 or better. The Rebels could win the SEC Tournament and none of these six remaining games would mean anything, but that is a tough task.
