The University of Mississippi will be adding more parking and new ways to pay for it this upcoming fall semester. Parking expansions will include the on-campus garage, a new lot, additional meters and the use of a mobile app.

“We would hope that we are making positive changes through the use of technology and better parking inventory control,” said Mike Harris, the director of parking and transportation.

The new parking lot will be for commuters and add 75 spaces. It will be located at the corner of Hill Drive and Jeanette Phillips Drive.

The parking garage will be available for charge, costing $2 the first hour and an additional $1 for each hour up to $10 for a 24 hour period.

Harris said there is also a possibility of semester and annual parking permits for students based upon availability.

“There aren’t many extra spaces in the residential parking on campus right now,” freshman Sydney Malone said.

“Next year when I commute, I’d definitely consider buying a pass for the parking garage, though.”

There are meters located at the Manning lot for the 1810 dining facility, and additional meters will be placed at Martindale Hall.

In addition to the new parking spaces, the university is seeking to utilize a mobile app called PassportParking Mobile Pay. The app allows users to pay for their parking meter from their phone.

I am the biggest hypocrite of 2015 MARCUS DANIELS

mjdanie1@go.olemis.edu

Kendrick Lamar has a song about being a hypocrite when it comes to race. It is called “Blacker the Berry.” He goes on a relentless crusade against racism and discusses why he is pro-black; however, at the end, he pronounces that he is a hypocrite because gang violence would make him kill a man blacker than he.

When we encounter fear, we naturally flock to predispositions about others that are often wrong. These predispositions are learned and difficult to eradicate. A few nights ago, I was having a dream in which I was back in high school, and my wallet was stolen from my backpack. I instantly, and automatically, decided that one of my fellow black students had taken my wallet, even though I had no evidence of this. This dream made me THE DAILY

think about the effect of black fear and underlying bias in our lives.

This dream gave me an alleyway to think about things in a new perspective. I blame the media for placing these irrational thoughts in our minds.

The negative images we see about black men in the media project themselves in our behaviors when we lose ourselves momentarily. Sadly, I can rationalize an argument for why George Zimmerman decided that his life was in danger in that second of fear and killed Trayvon Martin. I can rationalize an argument for why 12-year-old Tamir Rice was labeled as a man and shot without question by police. Mass media placed implicit fear of black men into their mind, and they acted accordingly in split-second decisions.

If this line of thinking is

true, the future is scary.

I have even suffered from this media-driven syndrome.

Last summer, I met a guy, and we proceeded to have a summer romance. One night, we were coming home from a late night out, and we stopped to eat. We were in line, kissing, holding hands and having a great time with each other. All of this ended instantly for me when three black males approached us. I assumed they were going to gay bash us based on our behaviors; however, they came to tell us that someone cut us in line. I do not think I would have been nearly as frightened if three white men had approached us.

The saddest part is that I know better. I have been on the Black Student Union Executive Council and am very well versed on race and race relations. I have a genuine love for my black brothers

and sisters. However, it seems that none of this mattered in that split-second decision.

We jump to prevailing notions of “blackdom” when it matters the most. This is reflected well in a quote from the movie “Chameleon Street” that basically alludes to this: “I’m a victim of 400 years of conditioning. The man has programmed my conditioning. Even my conditioning has been conditioned.”

Basically, I am the biggest hypocrite of 2015.

On March 8, 2015 at approximately 12:25 a.m. a University of Mississippi Police Department Campus Safety Officer called in to UPD dispatch advising that he could smell suspected marijuana coming from an occupied vehicle in a residence hall parking lot. Two officers responded to the location and witnessed five individuals smoking in the vehicle, two males and three females. The two males were passing what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette back and forth between them in the vehicle. The officers knocked on the window of the vehicle and the driver rolled down the window. The smell of marijuana became stronger, and all of the vehicles occupants were asked to exit the vehicle. As the male front seat passenger exited the vehicle the officer’s saw a blunt containing marijuana residue lying on the front seat. All vehicle occupants sat on the curb while a search ensued. The two male passengers were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and taken to the Lafayette County Detention Center.

On March 2, 2015, at approximately 4:30 pm, The University of Mississippi Police Department received a report of a lost or stolen wallet at the Turner Center. The wallet contained a student ID among other things. The wallet was left unattended while the individual was working out. Minutes after leaving the Turner Center, the individual realized they did not have their wallet, and the wallet had not been found or turned in. Later police discovered that the student ID was being used fraudulently to purchase things around campus, which constitutes credit card fraud. The case is still currently under investigation at this time.

es of receiving an overtime citation,” Harris said.

After downloading the PassportParking app, users register with a verification code they receive by phone or email, create a four-digit login pin, choose their parking meter and plug in their credit or debit card information for use.

Then the user can pay for their expiring parking meter from anywhere, even in a classroom across campus.

“I don’t think I’d personally use the app too often because I have the park and ride pass, but if I needed to park on campus, especially in the case of an emergency, the app would be helpful to have,” junior Meghan Matthews said.

Using the app will add an extra 35 cents to the overall cost of the meter per transaction.

“We should see parking managed in a way that is as customer friendly as possible while providing the necessary enforcement to protect all parking areas on campus,” Harris said.

The city of Oxford has been looking into using the PassportParking app as well. The Oxford Downtown Parking Advisory Commission recommended the use of the mobile app to the Board of Aldermen.

The board has yet to announce a decision.

Professor assists students with internship dilemmas CLARA TURNAGE

scturna1@go.olemiss.edu

Internships are the key to real-world experience – and to getting hired after college – Forbes Magazine said last month. The trouble with internships, however, is getting them. In response, a professor on campus decided to network with the women and men who would most identify with the current students’ plight – Ole Miss alumni.

“I kept reading about how important internships are,” said Marvin King, senior fellow of the Residential College South and associate professor of American politics. “When you graduate, employers value experience. For many graduates, there’s the problem of, ‘Well, how do I get experience if I don’t have a job, and no one will give me a job if I don’t have any experience.’ Internships are that way.”

King installed the Residential College South Networking Trip last spring to help students meet alumni in different cities and look for internships in those areas.

COURTESY: MARVIN KING

Residential College South students and chaperones pose with Nisolo founder Patrick Woodyard in Nashville.

This year, he and Kristina Phillips, coordinator for Study USA, expanded the program to Atlanta and Nashville and met nearly 50 alumni over the course of four days.

“The goal is to assist students locate relevant summer jobs or internships,” King said. “Atlanta is such a large destination for Ole Miss alumni; it only made sense to bring students there.”

The group, which grew from only 13 students last year to 19 this year, is currently offered

to residents at the Residential College South, but King said he hopes the group will continue to expand.

The majors included by the trip are vast. Engineering, forensic chemistry, journalism, business and many other majors make up the company.

“We’ve got a fairly diverse group,” King said. “That makes it challenging on my end.”

Though finding alumni in each student’s major is difficult, King said he wanted to keep it open to any student who wished to come.

“The success of this depends on the willingness and ability of Ole Miss alumni to assist in introducing these students to the appropriate resources,” King said.

The alumni met with students in one-on-one settings, scheduled meals and “happy hours” in which the students mixed with men and women currently operating in their desired professions.

Mackenzie Poole, a sophomore psychology major, attended the trip and said either city would be ideal for internships. She expressed that she was looking forward to meeting the alumni – even if it meant giving up her spring break.

“I have chosen to forfeit spring break and instead travel to Nashville and Atlanta for the RC Networking trip because this trip is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Poole said. “By being accepted to go on the trip, I

have been granted the privilege to spend time with Ole Miss graduates that will convey invaluable information to my fellow students and I regarding not only summer internships but also our future careers.”

Zane Turner, a sophomore forensic chemistry major, agreed and said this was an opportunity he could not pass up.

Perry Moulds, vice president for development and external relations at Belmont University, attended one of the breakfasts with the students in Nashville.

“I benefited from spending time with alumni and other mentors when I was an undergraduate student. I still do,” Moulds said. “Mentoring relationships are incredibly important. Any opportunity students have to network with alumni and learn more about particular fields of employment is a good opportunity.”

Moulds also attended one of the panels and a breakfast held during last year’s tour and said he will participate in any future trips, if possible. Moulds said he hoped to impress upon the students one of the first lessons he learned out of college.

“The most important thing I learned in my first few years after graduation is that you essentially start at the bottom,” Moulds said. “No task should be beneath you. Work hard at your job, and opportunities will present themselves.”

The trip, which each student paid $100 to attend, is currently predominately meant for Residential College students; however, King said that if other programs decided to help fund the trip, he would love to expand it to other interested parties.

King said he hoped Nashville and Atlanta would eventually become like how New York and Washington are now for the Study USA programs currently in place.

“That way we have a process in place where every year we’re sending 10 or 20 students into internships in these cities,” King said. “Hopefully, it’ll grow. If we get students internships, it’ll grow.”

OLE MISS SPORTS INFORMATION

Tigers take game 3 against Rebels 18-6, win series 2-1 pair of singles and two walks.

On the mound, senior Sam Smith (1-3) took the loss, allowing five runs in the first tinning.

LSU scored in six of the eight opportunities at the plate, chalking up 19 hits. Freshman Jake Godfrey (4-0) went 5.2 innings, giving up three runs on five hits and four walks, to remain perfect on the 2015 season.

Ole Miss took advantage of Godfrey’s wildness at the start to plate the game’s first run in the opening inning. Godfrey walked a pair of Rebels and also plunked Blackman.

During Blackman’s at-bat, a wild pitch allowed Golsan to slide home safely, putting Ole Miss on the board. However, the Tigers responded with five runs in the bottom half of the inning, forcing Smith out of the game early.

Rebels make NCAA Tournament, face BYU Tuesday bbstubbs@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss is back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013 after being selected as an 11 seed in the West Region. The Rebels will participate in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, as they’ll be matched up in a play-in game against fellow No. 11 seed BYU at 8:10 CT tomorrow night at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio.

Despite the Rebels losing four of their last five games, the NCAA tournament selection committee decided that the impressive non-conference wins over Cincinnati, Oregon and Coastal Carolina were just good enough to sneak the Rebels into the field of 68 teams. Ole Miss also made it into the tournament despite seven home losses, including losses against Charleston Southern, TCU, Western Kentucky and Vanderbilt, who all missed the NCAA Tournament.

“We took a circuitous route to get where we wanted to be,” Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy said. “It was certainly not a route that I would’ve chosen, but ultimately, we arrived at our destination.”

One of those losses included a heartbreaking 60-58 loss to South Carolina in the second round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament in Nashville last Thursday night, where senior guard LaDarius White fouled senior South Carolina guard Tyrone Johnson from beyond the arc that resulted in three free-throw makes and a victory for the Gamecocks.

“Our guys were really down on the fact that we didn’t play as well as we wanted to in the SEC Tournament,” Kennedy said. “Hopefully, they’re very excited about what comes next.”

The selection not only marks the second time that Andy Kennedy has made it to the NCAA Tournament as head coach of the Rebels, but it’s also the second time

that seniors Jarvis Summers, LaDarius White and Aaron Jones have advanced to the big dance.

“It means a lot especially going to the tournament my last year,” Summers said. “I just want to go out on top and make something special happen.”

As a sophomore in 2013, Summers averaged 10.5 points, 4.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in two NCAA Tournament games against Wisconsin and La Salle. Needless to say, Summers will be an important figure in preparation for the big stage tomorrow night.

“We just have to stay together,” Summers said. “We have to go hard in practice and listen to Coach.”

Ole Miss returns to a familiar building in Dayton as Ole Miss lost to the Flyers 78-74 back on Dec. 30 in a game where Ole Miss lost despite shooting over 40 percent from the field. The Rebels are 18-4 this season when they shoot over 40 percent from the field.

Women’s tennis fends off Auburn 4-3 over weekend CHRISTOPH LUDWIG

csludwig@go.olemiss.edu

The 16th-ranked Ole Miss women’s tennis team won a tightly contested match against the 31st-ranked Auburn Tigers 4-3 Sunday evening at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center. The Rebels improved to 11-4, 3-3 in the Southeastern Conference, while the Tigers fell to 11-5, 1-4 in the SEC. “It was pretty dramatic with all the tiebreakers,” Ole Miss head coach Mark Beyers said.

Ole Miss fell in the opening doubles portion of the match, giving Auburn the first point. Senior Julia Jones and freshman Natalie Suk got the Rebels on the board with an 8-3 win over Tiger sophomore Reka Muller and se-

nior Jen Pfeifler. However, seniors Erin Stephens and Iris Verboven fell 3-8 to Auburn junior Pleun Burgmans and senior Emily Flickinger.

Freshman Arianne Hartono and junior Mai El Kamash fell to Auburn juniors Michala Kucharova and Paula de Man 6-8 after taking an early 3-0 lead to start the match.

The Rebels were not fazed, as they battled to win four of the six singles matches.

Twelfth ranked Jones dispatched of 74th ranked Burgmans 6-1, 6-4 at the singles match on court one. El Kamash easily defeated Flickinger 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3 singles.

At No. 4, Suk beat Miller 6-3, 6-4. At No. 5, Stephens lost to de Man 2-6, 2-6.

“We were able to win a couple of quick singles matches,

It was the intense No. 2 and No. 6 matches that provided the drama.

At No. 2 singles, Hartono came from behind against Auburn freshman Andie Dikosavljevic 2-4 in the first set to tie it at 4 before forcing a tiebreaker at 6-6. Hartono would eventually fall 5-7 in the tiebreaker to lose the set 6-7. The second set again went to a tiebreaker at 6-6, where Hartono would fall 3-7

to lose the match 6-7, 6-7.

With the match tied 3-3, it was up to Rebel sophomore Zalina Khairudinova to clinch the win for the Rebels at No. 6 singles. The first set of her match with Pfeifler went to a tiebreaker at 6-6, with Khairudinova winning the tiebreaker 7-5. The second set also went to a tiebreaker, but this time Khairudinova fell 6-7. The third set was much easier, however, as Khairudinova took advantage of her opponent’s cramping to win 6-2 and seal the victory for

the Rebels.

“Every time I won a point, I looked over at my teammates, and they said ‘Come on Z, you can do it,’, and it gave me more energy,” Khairudinova said. “I kept thinking I have to do it for my team because we deserve it.”

“Every win in the SEC is very precious, so to be able to have three at this point in the season, we’ll take it,” Beyers said.

The Rebels are back in action against Florida at 4 p.m.

Friday in Gainesville, Florida.
