Everybody’s Tent: A Welcoming Tailgate

The ASB invites all students to join Everybody’s Tent in the Grove this Saturday as the Rebels kick off their home opener against Southeast Missouri State this Saturday, Sept. 7.

“We really wanted to have a tent where any student can come if they don’t have a place to come to in the Grove,” said ASB president Gregory Alston.

Alston set out to ensure that all students, especially new students to the university feel welcome as part of his election campaign during the spring semester of last year.

Alston credits William Fowler, director of Everybody’s Tent and executive assistant to the ASB president, with pitching the initial idea.

“I think that tailgating in the Grove on game days is a big part of the Ole Miss experience. It’s a big part of being included in everything that makes us Ole Miss Rebels, a part of the university,” Fowler said.

The tent will be located close to the Union Plaza on the Walk of Champions. Faculty,

staff, alumni and students are all encouraged to interact and form new relationships.

ASB members will be under the tent from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, passing out stickers that say, “I am a Rebel” and providing game-day food and nonalcoholic beverages.

“We want to open up this space for all students to enjoy and to try to eliminate some of the barriers,” Fowler said.

Alston hopes this tent will allow students the opportunity to make new connections and friends as part of its social engagement.

“A lot of students on campus may come from other states and may not know too many people here, and this (tent) is a good opportunity to meet a lot more people,” he said.

The ASB hopes to use social media and any other communication platform to promote Everybody’s Tent as much as possible.

Fowler said last year the Southern Studies department sponsored a tent open to everyone that saw success, but may not have taken advantage of the multiple communication outlets available to it. The ASB is hoping to improve upon the Southern Studies department’s

previous success with their unprecedented concept of Everybody’s Tent.

“Since that tent is being discontinued this year, we are wanting to continue the idea of it,” Fowler said.

The ASB hopes to have support and representatives from as many different colleges, clubs and organizations on campus as possible present at the tent.

“It has a lot of potential to make a lot of positive influences on campus whether that’s with the students or for the university image as well, the Ole Miss brand and what it is we stand for as a university, and that is an open environment,” Fowler said.

Alston said this will also help students realize the wonderful tradition that is the Grove.

“Tailgating is so big here,” he said. “The Grove is considered to be one of the best tailgating spots in the country, so having this tent in a setting like the Grove is really special, and then having the opportunity to invite all the students to come to this tent is really exciting,” The schedule for Everybody’s Tent after Saturday’s game will be as follows: Oct. 12, See TENT, PAGE 4

staff report

University forensics team hosts first Southern Worlds Debate Institute dm staff report thedmnews@gmail.com

Success in international competition over the past year motivated the Trent Lott Leadership Institute and The University of Mississippi Forensics Team to share Worlds Style Debate at the inaugural Southern Debate Institute this past weekend.

Alfred Snider, internationally recognized coach and Edwin Lawrence Professor of Forensics at the University of Vermont, directed the Institute with the assistance of Ken Newby, assistant professor of communication and director of speech and debate at Morehouse College.

Students from Ole Miss, Louisiana Technical College, Morehouse College and the University of Southern Mississippi came together to learn Worlds Debate, the fastest growing style of debate globally.

Modeled after the proceed-

ings of British parliament, Worlds style is notably accessible to the public in the assessment of Snider.

“It has a very low entry barrier but a very high ceiling, and by that I mean that it is very easy to do for the first time, but if you want to be really good it is quite challenging, “ Snider said.

“Thus, it is available for almost all students and it is a good vehicle for imparting debate and public communication skill to a large segment of the population. It also provides opportunities to debate against the entire world as major universities from all continents participate and over 800 have been listed in a few global directories.

“It is revolutionary because it is sweeping the globe,” Snider said. “It is the way the world debates. It uses natural language argument, avoiding the jargon and technicalities See DEBATE, PAGE 4

Labor Unions: The People Who Brought You The Weekend

By Christine Dickason cndickas@go.olemiss.edu

PATRICIA THOMPSON director and faculty adviser

This week, we recognized Labor Day, a national holiday that has become increasingly apolitical as people see it as just a day off work and a prime time for barbecues.

Labor Day finds its roots, however, in the workers’ strikes that occurred in the 1890s. In 1894, less than a week after several workers were killed by U.S. military in the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland signed into law legislation to make Labor Day a national holiday—one to recognize and celebrate the achievements of American workers.

More importantly, the head of the American Federation of Labor at the time, Samuel Gompers, argued that it was also an opportunity for workers to discuss “their rights and their wrongs.”

Over a century later, less of the workforce is taking the opportunity to encourage this dialogue.

A Pew Research poll published this week found that while 51 percent of Americans view labor unions favorably—a 10 percent increase from last year—only 11.3 percent of the workforce actually belongs to a union.

This may be due to the constant portrayal of labor unions by big corporations, politicians and the media as roadblocks to prosperity.

These depictions could not be further from the truth.

Labor unions provide workers a voice that strengthens the democracy on which our country was founded and revitalizes the middle

class. Unions do this through lobbying and collective bargaining, a negotiation process between employers and employees to reach agreements about working conditions, benefits or other concerns.

Some reactionaries seem to see the past through rose-colored lenses. But before labor unions, workers were subject to dangerous and unhealthful working conditions, long hours, discriminatory policies and insultingly low wages.

Worried about the current health insurance system? At least we have one. Counting down the days to the weekend? We have the labor movement to thank for that.

It’s time to stop demonizing labor unions and start working to ensure the progression of workers’ rights. Because we’ve still got a long ways to go.

Fifty years after the signing of the Equal Pay Act by President John F. Kennedy, women are still paid only 77 cents for every dollar that men make. Women also must face the challenges of working in a country that does not guarantee paid maternity leave, leading to increased disruption and exclusion in the workforce.

There is no federal legislation to protect LGBT workers from discrimination in the workplace; in fact, in 29 states including Mississippi, it is legal for an employer to fire someone because they are gay. Even in more subtle ways, inequality is perpetuated within the system.

For much of the past five decades, African Americans have experienced a rate of unemployment almost two times higher than whites. Eighty percent of lowincome workers do not receive any paid sick days, even though they have been shown to have no negative effect on the economy.

And as we’ve seen in the fast-food industry over the past few weeks, many workers still do not earn a livable wage, causing individuals and families to struggle to make ends meet.

Last week was the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, and most of the attention was focused—understandably so—on Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. But the march was also driven by a call for economic justice. Marchers came to D.C. with 10 requests, one of

which was a national minimum wage that would provide an adequate standard of living.

In 1968, the minimum wage was $1.60 an hour. Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index, the minimum wage should be $10.56 in 2013, adjusted for inflation.

Labor unions are crucial to correcting these wrongs.

President Lincoln recognized that workers are the key to U.S. prosperity, as he asserted in his first State of the Union address: “Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves the much higher consideration.” Though few seem to want to admit it, Labor Day is a highly political holiday, in which we should not only recognize the advancements of workers’ rights, but also reflect on what challenges lie ahead.

Let’s work to ensure that Labor Day will not lose its true meaning—and that all workers are able to enjoy the protections and rights they so deserve.

John Currence begins a new Oxford project amazing philanthropic idea is Good Food for Oxford Schools. This program works to improve menu options in Oxford schools, while educating students and their parents about food.

Currence hopes this new type of restaurant will reach a new demographic.

“I want this to be a place for everyone in town,” he said. “A place where people can feel good about what they’re eating and how they’re spending money.”

Currence is also excited about the creative opportunities a project like this provides.

“We will be the only place in the whole state to cook whole hog barbecue,” Currence said. “And one of the

few in state who cook almost exclusively with wood.”

University of Mississippi students are also interested in Lamar Lounge.

“I think it’s awesome that they’re buying Lamar Lounge,” said Sam Brasher, junior mechanical engineering major. “It’s tough work owning a restaurant, and considering this is the owner’s fifth one, they must be doing something right. It really shows how the Oxford community supports local business.”

“I am excited for the new Lamar Lounge,” Suggs said.

“You can’t go wrong with good food and good service for a great cause.”

Chef John Currence has been making Oxford food famous for years. The New Orleans native created the City Grocery Restaurant Group, which includes City Grocery, Boure, Snackbar and Big Bad Breakfast and provides great environments and food for both university students and Oxford residents.

“I always enjoy going to these restaurants,” said Anna Suggs, junior public policy leadership major. “The food is always excellent and the service is even better — which is rare to come by these days.”

The quality food and atmosphere that make City Grocery Restaurant Group’s restaurants local favorites are also important to frequent Oxford visitors and have been highly acclaimed by publishers such as The New York Times, USA Today and Southern Living.

Currence has received awards such as the Mississippi Restaurant Association’s Restaurateur of the Year and Chef of the Year in 1998, the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef South and the Southern Foodways Alliance Guardian of Tradition Award in 2008.

He has also won the Great American Seafood Cookoff in 2008 and the Charleston Food and Wine Festival’s Iron Chef Challenge in 2009.

Now, Currence has taken on a new project in the form of Lamar Lounge. A very different set-up from Currence’s other restaurants, Lamar Lounge is a barbecue-vending townie bar.

More important than the new type of restaurant or the exciting new menu options,

however, is that Chef Currence will be using this restaurant to give back to the Oxford community.

“A not-for-profit restaurant,” Currence called the

project. “We will identify a new Oxford children’s charity each year to receive the profits we make.”

pected to be prepared to argue a variety of topics.

“Worlds covers a wide range of topics from all areas of human interest because every debate had a different topic,” Snider said. “It is also designed to teach consensus as well as competition, and that is a skill we all need more of.”

Worlds Debates are structured to involve four teams made up of two debaters, with the affirmative and negative sides being represented by teams from different schools.

JoAnn Edwards, director of forensics at Ole Miss, became interested in the event as a communicative outlet rather than technical debate and has followed the event throughout its spread into the United States.

“You win in Worlds not on technicality, but through persuasion,” Edwards said. “It is not a win at all costs, as the rankings of 1-4 reward good thinking and good talking alike.

“Worlds debate forces the individual to take an opinion and turn it into an argument.

This process allows opinions to be refined and become much stronger positions to take in the world.”

Snider echoed Edwards’ belief in the importance of communication through debate.

“Study after study shows that communication skills are an essential attribute for leadership,” Snider said. “In business, oral communication skills are rated as the number one way to get promoted. In everyday life people attribute leadership qualities to those who communicate often, communicate well and have a balance of positive and negative things to say.”

Edwards said with these goals in mind, the pair coordinated the Institute to cultivate healthy competition in the Southeast.

“Of course every team in the nation, and world, deals with financial restraint,” Edwards said. “You choose either to go to tournaments or to host.

We saw the need to encourage the spread of Worlds in the southeast and accomplished both the goals of teaching the format and competing in hosting the Southern Debate Institute.”

Members of the university’s forensics team will host a high school tournament later in the month and encourage those who may be interested in learning more about the activity to consider volunteering the weekend of Sept. 27-28.

ning touchdown on a 75 yard scamper Thursday night in Nashville, senior running back Jeff Scott said this week has been a crazy one.

“Everywhere I go, off-campus and on campus, everyone has been showing me love,” Scott said. “I’m blessed and thankful.”

The play made Sportscenter’s Top 10 and was also all over television, and for Scott, it was one he will have for the highlight reel.

“It was huge,” Scott said. “I still go on YouTube and look at it. I’ve probably watched it close to a hundred times maybe.”

On the night, Scott was an essential part of the running game going for 138 yards on 12 carries, including the big score.

and in the meantime, check out my picks for week two in the SEC: Arkansas vs. Samford: Fun fact: Bret Bielema met his gorgeous wife Jen while playing blackjack at the Wynn Las Vegas.

Bielema gambles, letting her call the plays in the second half Saturday, and the Razorbacks still trample the Bulldogs 35-10.

Auburn vs. Arkansas State: Awkward! Auburn’s Gus Malzahn faces off against the team he coached last season. The Red Wolves keep things close, but the Tigers emerge victorious 34-31.

Florida vs. Miami: The Hurricanes, led by star running back Pit Bull (aka Mr. Worldwide), become the second ACC team in two weeks to upend a top-flight SEC opponent. Give me Miami 27-23.

Georgia vs. South Carolina: Steve Spurrier’s game plan involves incessantly prank calling Mark Richt, who’s still on edge after the Bulldogs’ heartbreaking loss to Clemson. Spurrier’s sophomoric strategy proves to be effective as the Gamecocks come out on top 31-28.

Kentucky vs. Miami (OH): The bad news for first-year Kentucky coach Mark Stoops: His team is awful. The good news for Stoops? He lives in a state where it’s OK to drown your sorrows in a bottle of bourbon. Kentucky still wins it 38-21.

LSU vs. UAB: Is this the week Les Miles plays stud running back Jeremy Hill, who’s suspended for his involvement in a bar fight last studentpayouts.com Paid Survey Takers Needed In Oxford. 100% FREE To Join! Click On Surveys.

spring? Miles doesn’t know – he’s been too busy catching up on his favorite cartoons – but LSU wins 49-7 regardless.

Ole Miss vs. SEMO: Who wins this riveting matchup? I’ll take the Rebels 56-14, but the bigger question pertains to whether or not stadium security will find my flask.

Mississippi State vs. Alcorn State: Pennsylvania native and noted Yankee Dan Mullen lives for in-state matchups. The beat-up Bulldogs take this one 3810.

Missouri vs. Toledo: Wait, Missouri’s still in the SEC? OK, if you say so. The Tigers overwhelm Toledo 42-17.

Tennessee vs. Western Kentucky: Shortly after Western Kentucky upsets Tennessee 31-24, Bobby Petrino heads to the nearest Wi-Fi enabled strip joint with intentions of emailing his updated resume to Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin.

Texas A&M vs. Sam Houston State: Johnny Manziel sits the second half after the Aggies build an insurmountable first-half lead over the Bearkats. Manziel downs 15 Bud Lights during the remainder of the contest, blacks out hard and wakes up to a 63-24 Texas A&M victory.

Vanderbilt vs. Austin Peay: I’d rather watch a repeating clip of Jordan Matthews projectile vomiting than tune into this uninspiring matchup. The ‘Dores body slam the Governors 35-7.

Defense prepares for option Georgia embarrasses SEC heavy SEMO, Scott talks TD run

Jeff Scott and Barry Brunetti celebrate Scott’s game-winning touchdown against Vanderbilt.

This weekend the Ole Miss football team will face Southeast Missouri State of the Football Championship Subdivision, and their unique option attack will throw a curveball to a Rebel defense that recently took on a spread look from Vanderbilt. Last week, the Redhawks fell to Southeastern Louisiana 45-7, but had their running game going, totaling 206 yards on the ground.

“They are a real big option team,” defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. “When you break them down they run the option out of every personnel. They are very similar to what Nebraska used to be from the standpoint of scheme years ago.

You’re going to get a lot of option this game so it’s absolutely responsibility football.”

Defensively against Vanderbilt, the Rebels allowed only 126 rushing yards on 33 attempts, but did give up 300 yards in the air to the Com-

modores. However, the Redhawk passing attack doesn’t appear to be much of a threat after they went 7-for-19 in the air with an interception.

Shifting in the secondary One of the biggest question marks for Ole Miss going into the season was the secondary, and the unit will now see some tweaking heading into week two. Sophomore Mike Hilton has been moved to the corner position and is expected to see extensive playing time. Also sophomore Chief Brown, who is coming off a three-tackle game, will get his first start at free safety this Saturday.

“Chief did some very good things in the game,” Wommack said. “He was very steady. He’s really worked hard in the off-season. He’s one of the most improved players, so I knew he was coming.”

Perhaps the biggest shift however will be sophomore Cody Core making the move from wide receiver to safety.

“Cody is the third fastest kid on our team, weighs 200 pounds, and probably needs to be on the field more than he is,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “He played 15 snaps the other night out of the 84 that we had, so we’re trying to crosstrain him right now.”

As a receiver, Core only recorded one catch for four yards last season.

1. @SuccessfulQuon was successful I predicted last week that slot receiver Laquon Treadwell would make the greatest impact this season out of all the ballyhooed members of Ole Miss’ 2013 recruiting class. Thankfully, Treadwell helped my cause with nine catches – a freshman record – for 82 yards in the Rebels’ last-minute 39-35 win over Vanderbilt on Thursday.

For that, he was named the SEC’s Freshman of the Week, an honor that Treadwell undoubtedly deserves after his clutch performance in such a close contest.

Ole Miss offense was stagnant in the first half, but once Bo Wallace started feeding Treadwell – who recorded eight catches in the third quarter – the Rebel attack couldn’t be stopped. Say it with me: “Thank you, Laquon!”

I expect Treadwell to make a similar impact going forward.

Defenses are going to continue to double cover Donte Moncrief, and sure-handed veteran Ja-Mes Logan must be accounted for as well. That will oftentimes mean that opponents will be forced to cover Treadwell – a physical freak of nature – with a defender that pales in comparison athletically to the freshman.

And once Vince Sanders returns from injury in a few weeks, the Ole Miss passing game will become even more explosive with Moncrief/Sanders on the outside and

Logan/Treadwell as inside receivers. That’ll make game planning for the Rebel offense a nightmare for opposing SEC defensive coordinators this season.

2. Which was worse – Dan Mullen’s bizarre visor hair or Mississippi State’s putrid offense?

Oklahoma State’s 21-3 win over Mississippi State Saturday in Houston was one of the top-5 most boring college football games I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching.

Scoring was at a minimum, mistakes on both sides were at a premium and a Cowboys victory was never really in question after Oklahoma State inserted quarterback J.W. Walsh into the lineup.

Really, the sole form of entertainment that could be derived from the contest came at the expense of Dan Mullen, who looked, well, um, interesting with an MSU visor as his preferred headgear.

Honestly, it looked like two miniature pigtails were sticking out of the top of his head, but don’t take my word for it – do a Google search and take a look for yourself.

Not a good look, Dan. The only thing that might’ve looked worse than Mullen donning a visor was the Mississippi State offense.

After a first-quarter field goal, the Bulldog offense was shut out.

After an injury to starting quarterback Tyler Russell, backup Dak Prescott entered the game and didn’t look much better. Rumor has it that Mullen phoned his old friend Tim Tebow – he’s not doing anything right now, is he? – with plans of sneaking him into the game if the Bulldog offense continues to struggle.

So, 5-Yard Bomb readers: Which was more difficult to watch – Dan Mullen’s visor hair or Mississippi State’s hapless offense?

3. Mark Richt and Georgia make the SEC look bad.

In week one, Georgia messed up big time when it violated one of the most important rules agreed upon by the SEC’s 14 member institutions: WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T LOSE TO A TEAM FROM THE FREAKIN’ ACC! The Bulldogs’ loss – 38-35 to Clemson – not only embarrassed the conference, but it also came with further consequences. The Bulldogs lost leading wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell to a knee injury – which occurred during a celebration – and several other playSee SEC, PAGE 7
