Rebels to face Xavier in NCAA Tournament game today DYLAN RUBINO

thedmsports@gmail.com

After a huge comeback Tuesday night against BYU, the Rebels now must quickly shift their focus to No. 6 seed Xavier today in Jacksonville, Florida.

It was a tale of two halves for the Rebels, as the offense struggled against the Cougars, scoring only 32 points on 12-of-40 shooting from the field. In the second half, we saw a different team, and the offense clicked in a big way, scoring 62 points on 24-of-40 shooting from the field.

The Rebels pulled off the biggest comeback of the NCAA Tournament so far, led by junior guard Stefan Moody, who scored 26 points on 10-for-18 shooting from the field and helped start off a 15-2 run in the second half to take the lead.

That performance saved the Rebels in the first four, but it must be duplicated today against Xavier in order to advance to the round of 32.

Moody was the key player to watch for in order for the Rebels to pick up the tournament win against BYU, and he

Library Ambassadors ASCE Deep South engineering to host Poetry Slam conference begins today NATALIE WILLIAMS

aemccoll@go.olemiss.edu

Join The University of Mississippi’s Library Ambassadors as they sponsor their second annual Library Ambassadors Poetry Slam tonight at 7 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.

This year’s poetry slam will feature a couple of new elements. A DJ will play music between the contestants, and there will be more interaction with the audience through a “group poem.” The group poem will be used as an activity while the judges deliberate over the winners and as a chance for the audience to interact and create poetry of their own with the people sitting at the same table as them.

“We hope to accomplish a

successful poetry slam. We want to have a great turn out for audience members as well as participating poets,” said Jessica Marshall, president. “There is a lot of interest just like we had the first time. A lot of people are excited to attend.”

Thirty contestants competed in last year’s poetry slam, and this year there should be forty contestants, according to Amy Gibson, faculty advisor for the Library Ambassadors.

This year’s judges will be comprised of faculty members from the English department and from the Department of Writing and Rhetoric and include: Chiyuma Elliott, assistant professor of English; Derrick Harriell, assistant professor of English

The Ole Miss Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is hosting this year’s American Society of Civil Engineers’s Deep South Conference.

Throughout the conference, 300 participants from 13 schools in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and Arkansas will compete in events that are designed to test participants’ engineering skills and teamwork ability. These events include concrete bowling, steel bridge building, concrete canoe construction, surveying, a mystery event and a technical paper presentation.

The first event of the con-

ference is concrete bowling, a new addition to the conference this year, which will be held today at the Oxford Conference Center at 5:30 p.m. Students must design a bowling ball out of concrete that can be used to bowl three frames without breaking.

Today, the teams will be given the rules and materials needed to complete their mystery event task as well.

They have until Saturday to prepare for the contest, which will test their ingenuity and engineering abilities.

Grace Rushing is the vice president of the Ole Miss chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers and one of several conference coordinators.

“All the teams are very cre-

ative, and it is always fun to see their solutions to the competition challenges,” Rushing said. “The canoe races are also great because everyone is so competitive.”

For the next event, which will take place at Sardis Lower Lake, March 20 at 8 a.m., students must design, build and race a canoe made entirely of concrete. It also must be able to float after being submerged in water, light enough to for people to row easily and strong enough to hold four people. The winner will be eligible to participate in the American Society of Civil Engineers National Canoe Competition.

For junior civil engineering major Reed Zeiher, this is the

COLUMN

Bathroom battle MORGAN PHILLEY

mlphille@go.olemiss.edu

As a native Mississippian, I don’t spend a whole lot of time in Florida. Sure, a vacation or two here and there, but for the most part, I stay away from the Sunshine State. According to recent acts taken by the state legislature of Florida, it appears that this is a wise decision, as I am obviously not welcome among the sun, sand and palm trees.

Presumably due to the overtly phallic shape of the state, these lawmakers are obsessed with genitals and who puts theirs where. Not even in a sexual sense, but simply where you take them to perform basic bodily functions.

According to a “Miami Herald” article by Steve Rothaus, a bill that has now passed two House committees, HB 538, attempts to make it a second-degree misdemeanor for transgender people to enter a public bathroom “of the other biological sex” (If I rolled my eyes any harder, I’d sever my optic nerve). If passed, this bill would penalize a trans person who goes into the restroom that aligns with their gender a maximum of 60 days in jail and a fine of $500. Talk about an expensive pit stop.

While I have many question about this proposed law (like how the state plans on enforcing such a restriction, why the lawmakers are wasting tax dollars on persecuting an already marginalized group, and how many of them must simply be spiteful that Laverne Cox is more gorgeous than they or their significant other will ever be?), there is one question that stands out to me above all the others: Why? Unless public bathrooms are very different in Florida than any others I’ve come across, visiting them is not a team sport.

You go in, do your business and leave. There’s not a lot of socializing, except for those weirdoes that think it’s all right to start a conversation through the walls of a toilet stall. But that’s not a transgender or cisgender problem, that’s just people who don’t know boundaries.

So, why does it matter what kind of genitals someone has THE DAILY

when they enter the public bathroom?

They aren’t flashing them at you, you don’t have to touch them or look at them, and frankly, trans and cis people alike would be angry if you did so. What someone else has in their pants or skirt does not affect your ability to use the restroom, and it isn’t even any of your business.

Republican Rep. Frank Artiles said he’s pushing this bill to combat an ordinance in Miami-Dade county that protects the rights of trans people, calling it “overbroad and subjective.” Unless that bill gives attractive trans people the right to steal things they want, I don’t see how protection of rights can be considered overbroad or subjective.

Is he angry about all the rights trans people do have?

Like how, according to Trans Student Equality Resources statistics, trans women have a one in 12 chance of being murdered and how that number jumps up to one in eight for trans women of color? Or how the Gender, Violence, and Resource Access survey report found that 50 percent of trans people have been raped or assaulted by a romantic partner?

Really, you’ve got to take us down a peg; we’re getting far too uppity.

Simply put, the operative

word in the phrase “trans people” is “people.” No matter what gender we are, and no matter what genitals our bladders are attached to, we still need access to public bathrooms. And trust me, we don’t get excited about going into them. We generally avoid public bathrooms like the plague because of the overreaction of people, like Frank Artiles, who think that we aren’t there to relieve ourselves but to molest them.

If Florida wants to pass a bill that increases penalties for sexual assault, regardless of gender, then I’m all for that. If someone behaves inappropriately in a public bathroom and threatens you, then they deserve to face repercussions.

But the idea that trans people want access to bathrooms that align with their gender because we want to attack cis people?

That’s not only a grossly misrepresentative idea but reinforces the damaging cultural stigma that trans people are dangerous perverts or freaks.

We want in and out of a public bathroom just as fast as the rest of you, and sticking around to terrorize the cis people we find there would seriously cut into our schedule of indoctrinating children and promoting our deviant lifestyle. Or at least that’s the bulk of our schedule if you ask the transphobic Florida legislature, I guess.

The Daily Mississippian welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should be addressed to The Daily Mississippian, 201 Bishop Hall, P.O. Box 1848, University, MS, 38677-1848, or e-mailed to dmletters@olemiss.edu.

Letters should be typed, double-spaced and no longer than 300 words. Letters may be edited for clarity, space or libel.

Third-party letters and those bearing pseudonyms, pen names or “name withheld” will not be published. Publication is limited to one letter per individual per calendar month.

Letters should include phone and email contact information so that editors can verify authenticity. Letters from students should include grade classification and major; letters from faculty and staff should include title and the college, school or department where the person is employed.

The $500 that Artiles and his colleagues want to fine us for using the “wrong” bathroom could buy a trans man 17 chest binders from Underworks or a trans woman 10 pairs of the cheapest breast forms you can get on thebreastformstore.com (and it wouldn’t even cover all of the cost for a quality set). It could go towards our hormone replacement therapy (expensive stuff, trust me) or act as a down-payment on a gender confirmation surgery. We could use that money for basic living expenses or for any number of the incredibly expensive things being trans necessitates, and $500 would just be a drop in the bucket, I assure you.

The bottom line is I recently celebrated my one year anniversary of biweekly intramuscular injections of testosterone.

I’ve come out to my friends and family. I’ve written articles like these to educate people, and I’ve fought tooth and nail for years to be comfortable in my skin.

So, I’ll be damned if I sit silent while a bunch of transphobic lunatics in power try to beat me and every other trans person into submission with their heteronormative witch hunt.

We’re here, we’re queer, and we just need to pee. Get used to it.

Prizes are supplemented by the J.D. Williams Library and include prompt notebooks to jump start writing and gift cards to Square Books and Walmart.

“The poetry slam is planned to encourage student creativity and give students a chance to read their poems out loud and to an audience,” Gibson said. “This slam is a good draw for students to come see what the Library Ambassadors are and to encourage students to consider joining the Ambassadors.”

Library Ambassadors is a group made for students by students and was designed to create a direct line of communication between faculty administrators and the student body. The poetry slam is just one example of how the Ambassadors represent and promote the library around Ole Miss and at campus events.

Marshall said she expects this slam to turn out well, maybe even better than the first one.

The Library Ambassadors will also be hosting two more events this semester: Art Night and PetA-Pup. The Poetry Slam is free for all students and graduate students who attend the main campus or satellite campuses and will be loaded with poetry, free food and prizes.

Book Review: ‘The Buried Giant’ ALEX MARTIN

amartin9195@gmail.com

Editor’s note: The book review for “The Buried Giant,” did not run correctly in Tuesday’s DM. The full version is published here.

“The Buried Giant” is the first novel the immensely talented Booker Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro has published in ten years. This fact alone was enough to persuade me to pick it up.

Early news of this book left me a little alarmed, however, when it warned that this novel was — gasp — a fantasy novel and a complete departure from Ishiguro’s previous work. (By the way – if you haven’t read Ishiguro’s “Never Let Me Go,” you owe it to yourself to do so.)

Certainly different from the fairly modern settings of his previous novels, “The Buried Giant” is set just after the death of King Arthur in Britain, where some mysterious event has caused an utter hatred between the Britons and the Saxons. Ogres, knights, giants and monsters roam the land — at least, according to the people. All of the details are covered by this strange mist, and the reader is never completely sure what has happened — and the characters in the book aren’t either.

Axl and Beatrice (“perhaps they are called this” the novel suggests) are an elderly couple who seem to faintly remember they have a son, possibly in a nearby village. They set out to find their son but instead, are quickly joined by Wistan, a Saxon warrior, Edwin, a young

boy with a mysterious injury, and Sir Gawain, the gallant knight whose chain mail is growing rusty.

Enduring trials and tribulations as in any quest, this group, urged by an ache in Beatrice’s side, descends upon a monastery where they learn the real source of the mist and begin to realize its real purpose.

What was for Axl and Beatrice a quest to find their son becomes a quest for their memories, for a recollection of everything they have shared together. While Axl and Beatrice long to have their memories restored, some characters seek to clear the mist for possibly more sinister reasons and still others believe the mist should be protected.

In a strange style that blends contemporary and Middle En-

glish, this novel succeeds in establishing an anxious, uncomfortable undercurrent.

Because everyone is so forgetful, the characters constantly reassure and remind each other of everything, even their presence. This effect is disorienting and shadowy, suggestive of how people might act without a history to serve as a baseline. As the sinister events of the past begin to unfurl through this dark novel, the reader is forced to grapple with the importance of memory and history.

Are we better people without memories that might hold us down and further provoke our hatred for one another? Or should we grapple with them anyway, trudging ahead and fighting to live in the truth? It boiled down to this: Are our best memories worth retaining

our most terrifying and horrific ones?

Similar to any fantasy novel, the book concludes with the completion of a “quest” and a dwindling love story for Axl and Beatrice, but what makes this novel such a departure is that the reader is left unsure whether good, evil or something in between has triumphed.

Don’t expect to be lulled to sleep as the knight saves the day. By the end, you will be forced to confront the possibility that our memories are all we really get to keep of the people we love, but they are also the source of our hate. As all good novels do, “The Buried Giant” holds up a mirror for you to examine yourself but leaves you wondering, a little unsure of what you have discovered.

The Ole Miss Rebels won in walk-off fashion on Wednesday by beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff by a score of 7-6.

It wasn’t the Rebels’ best game, as they trailed 6-4 going into the 9th inning before erasing the deficit with three runs in the ninth.

The victory for Ole Miss was the second ninth-inning comeback in the last three games. The Rebels move to 11-9 overall on the season with the win.

“It obviously wasn’t our best game, but I am proud of the way we hung in there and competed and put a lot of good at bats together at the end” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said.

Junior outfielder Cameron Dishon led off the 9th with a

single, followed by a double by freshman infielder Kyle Watson that put runners on 2nd and 3rd for freshman infielder Will Golsan. Golsan then singled to right, tying the game at 6 runs apiece.

After senior first baseman Sikes Orvis forced a walk, freshman infielder Tate Blackman was responsible for the heroics as he hit a line drive that fell in the gap in left-center and scored Golsan, giving the Rebels the win.

“I was trying to elevate the ball,” Blackman said. “When it came off of the bat, I knew it was in the gap. It was a great feeling.”

Blackman led the charge offensively, going 3-for-5 from the plate with three RBIs, including the game winner.

Watson and Golsan also had two hits each on the day.

continued from page 6 The freshmen trio of Blackman, Watson and Golsan combined for seven of the Rebels’ 10 hits on the day and showed what good, young talent this team has and can develop in the future. The freshmen came through in clutch moments today, and Bianco

could not have been more proud of them.

“Our heroes were the freshmen today,” Bianco said.

“Watson, Golsan and Tate (Blackman) all came through for us.”

Orvis hit a home run for the second straight game, his fifth home run on the season, by blasting a solo shot in the bottom of the 7th inning.

Evan Anderson was the starter on the mound for the Rebels. In his longest outing of the year, Anderson allowed three earned runs and one un-earned run in 6.1 innings of work. The Rebels had three errors in the field and misplayed two bunts that eventually led to runs for Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

“We killed (Anderson) in the field,” Bianco said. “We

didn’t field two bunts and missed another line drive, giving them too many opportunities.”

Before BYU, Moody was shooting 26 percent from the field over the last five games, but against BYU, he awoke from his slumber. Head coach Andy Kennedy moved Moody around the court off screens and opened up shots for the star guard, allowing him to knock down over 50 percent of them. If Moody keeps this play up, the Rebels will be a hard team to beat, especially against Xavier.

Xavier finished the season with a 21-13 overall record, going 9-9 in the Big East Conference. The Musketeers have

picked up some quality wins against tournament teams over the course of the season, including three wins over Georgetown and wins over Butler, Cincinnati and Providence.

The Musketeers are also no strangers to playing against Southeastern Conference opponents. They went 2-1 against SEC teams, picking up wins against Alabama and Missouri, and their one loss came against Auburn in overtime on Dec. 20.

The loss to Auburn was one of the few mind-boggling losses Xavier has suffered.

They had more bad losses to Creighton, DePaul and Long Beach State. After these tough losses, the Musketeers pulled

off some quality wins to help them advance to the tournament for the 25th time.

Xavier is a balanced team on offense with six players averaging over eight points per game. Xavier is led by their leading scorer, senior center Matt Stainbrook.

Stainbrook is the focal point of the offense and is what makes the offense work.

Stainbrook brings size to the front court at 6-foot-10, 265 pounds and has a strong skill set as he averages 12 points and seven rebounds per game.

The Rebels don’t have a lot of size and strength in the frontcourt, so Stainbrook could be a problem down low.

What Xavier does well is being efficient on offense.

The Musketeers shoot 47 percent from the field on the season and rarely turn the ball over. The Rebels forced 15 turnovers against BYU and will somehow need to create points on turnovers against a Xavier team that is secure with the basketball.

Xavier is not particularly a good rebounding team, and that can be an advantage for the Rebels in order to win the game.

The Rebels reeled in 43 rebounds against BYU, and three players had over seven rebounds in the contest.

When Xavier is efficient on offense, the rebounding woes won’t be an issue. If the Rebels can play defense like they did in the second half Tuesday against Xavier today, then the Rebels could march on.

One player who needs to step up for the Rebels is senior point guard Jarvis Summers.

Summers was off all game against BYU as he shot 5-for21 from the field with 11 points.

Summers was more of a point guard than a scorer as he totaled 10 assists for the game, setting up his teammates with open shots. Summers needs to be more of a scorer and take some pressure off of Moody in order for the Rebels to move on past Xavier.

If the Rebels continue playing like they did in the second half against BYU, they could possibly upset No. 6 seed Xavier, but a lot of things need to go right.
