Thousands participate in largest CARE Walk to date

PHOTOS BY: TAYLOR COOK AND TAYLAR TEEL

Over 2,000 students participated in Ole Miss’ 13th annual Cancer Awareness Research and Eradication Walk Wednesday. This year the Panhellenic Council invited the Associated Student Body, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, Ole Miss athletics and other student organizations to participate in the walk.

Ole Miss’ 13th annual Cancer Awareness Research and Eradication Walk has contin-

ued to raise more money and gain more student and community involvement each year and this year is no different.

The CARE Walk was started in 2003 by a former Panhellenic vice president of

community service. Since its beginning, participation has grown each year. Last year, more than 2,000 women walked, raising approximately $52,000 to donate to the Baptist Cancer Center-North

Mississippi.

Shelby Santel, Panhellenic vice president of community service, said this is the first step to making the walk a community event.

“My biggest goal is for this

to grow,” Santel said. “Of course it’s to raise money, but I want it to get bigger and better each year.”

In the past, only Panhellen-

Internship program connects current students and alumni SLADE RAND

Several students who graduated from the Ole Miss Internship Experience program came back to share their 2016 summer internship stories with other students Wednesday afternoon at the Lyceum.

The five students interned in five different industries, but all returned with a similar, newfound understanding of their prospective careers.

Former New York City intern Graham White, a senior business marketing major, said he learned the importance of getting out of

his comfort zone.

“I took away confidence in myself and in my learning abilities and learned the importance of networking,” White said.

White interned at White Space, a strategic marketing firm in New York, this summer.

He said the university’s program added legitimacy to his job hunt.

The Ole Miss Internship Experience partners students with university administrators each fall to help make an internship in Washington, D.C. or New York City a reality. The program emphasizes the importance of networking in the business world. It also utilizes

Ole Miss’ strong alumni presence across the country.

Jesse Webb, senior marketing major, gave a presentation about his summer internship with Inkwell Management in New York City. Inkwell is a literary agency in NYC where Webb said he got a lot of cool marketing experience.

The Internship Experience program was key to his success, Webb said.

“It was motivation,” Webb said.

“Since I was in the program, I felt the drive to keep working as hard as I could.”

University curriculum too focused on past?

MIKALA TURNER

thedmopinion@gmail.com

Last year, as a freshman, I found myself feeling bombarded by the curriculum used in my general education classes.

To me, it seemed like we talked about slavery and Ole Miss’ dark past with the riots that occurred during the integration of James Meredith once or twice every week, and most of the time this class had nothing to do with history.

My question is: Can we talk about our past too much? I know it has been said that learning about our past will help us not to repeat it, but when is it too much?

As a part of the “new generation,” I find myself actively involved in the #BlackLivesMatter movement and trying to evolve the future into something I am proud of. The truth is that

sometimes it is hard because we are constantly attacked with arguments about “history” and “heritage.”

We, as students, come to college to expand our horizons, but talking about the same things over, and over and over again will not teach us anything new.

My point is, we know the history. We have learned it over and over in grade school, so why must we still focus on it now?

Perhaps it is because they want us to see even deeper into the past, or maybe they’re trying to make up for what happened here in 1962 by excessively educating the new generations.

and exploring new problems in history and using them as a reference point can truly educate us.

We know the incidents of slavery and segregation in the U.S., but what most of us don’t know is if the same thing is currently occurring in other countries. Teach us about that. We are here to learn new things, not repeat everything we learned in high school.

I want to know more about the world, and is it not my professors’ job to teach me that?

When the chancellors, past, present and future, along with the faculty, students and alumni who are ashamed of the Ole Miss traditions and Southern heritage read Lincoln’s first inaugural address, then I would be glad to be lectured by them. I dislike being lectured about slavery and the Confederacy by anyone who knows nothing about the subject.

Gillom Sports Center to undergo $7.8 million renovation BRIANA FLOREZ

bfflorez@go.olemiss.edu

The Gillom Sports Center, home to Ole Miss volleyball, rifle, soccer and softball, is set to undergo a $7.8 million renovation from now through summer 2017.

The volleyball team will practice in the C.M. Tad Smith Coliseum and play home matches in The Pavilion while the facility is undergoing renovation. Coaches’ offices and locker rooms for rifle, soccer and softball have all been relocated.

Lynnette Johnson, executive associate athletic director of Ole Miss Athletics, said the volleyball team has adjusted well to facility changes for practices and matches.

“The team has been great about using multiple venues to practice and compete this year,” Johnson said.

The renovations being made to the 54,142 square-foot building include two new film rooms, a new weight room, an athletic training room and a small exterior training area.

The indoor tennis courts previously located in the facility will not be returning. Another project constructing an indoor tennis facility separate from the Gillom Center is in the works for the future.

continued from page 1 ternships positions in the following summer for either major city.

After applicants are chosen, each student will spend the spring semester preparing for his summer employer.

Kristina Phillips, the university’s coordinator of college programs, directs the New York wing of the Internship Experience.

“Our program gives students more of a worldview, learning how to live and work in the city,” Phillips said. “We just wanted to be able to showcase their experiences today.”

Phillips said students who go through the program often return with more confidence in themselves and their professional abilities.

The Office of College Programs has been assisting Ole Miss upperclassmen in their summer internship hunts with the UM Internship Experience since 2008.

Phillips said her office does all they can to help alumni connect with students. She sees the program as “paying it forward” by placing more and more Ole Miss alumni in the industries in which students aim to work.

Program Director Laura Antonow said she values the alumni support her office receives.

“We’re working on developing an endowment for the program to make it more cost-neutral for students,” Antonow said.

Antonow said he has high hopes for the intern program’s future.

The program started in 2008 and she said 25 students applied last

Ian Banner said the age of the building is what spurred the need for renovation.

“The building is 18 years old, and the uses and needs of athletics have changed,” he said. “A lot of it was out of date.”

Banner said the interior of the building will look entirely revamped when renovation is complete.

“The building has basically been completely gutted on the inside and will appear new on the inside even though it’s a renovation,” he said.

Head Rifle Team Coach Marsha Beasley said the renovation has not had a negative impact on the members of the rifle team; however, it has affected the coaches.

“Since the range is off campus, we have to plan trips to campus for meetings and to take care of administrative things,” Beasley said. “Since both myself and the assistant coach, Hannah Black, are new to Ole Miss, the Gillom renovation has probably made it a little harder to develop work relationships and feel connected.”

With four consecutive wins at home, Head Volleyball Coach Steven McRoberts said the change of venue for home matches has not affected the team’s play but instead amped up the crowds.

“We are 4-0 at home and the crowds have been really loud and fall. She hopes to grow numerically and financially in the next few years.

In addition to creating an endowment, Antonow also hopes to open up an Atlanta branch of the Internship Experience by 2018.

Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter sat in on Wednesday’s presentations at the Lyceum. He said students in this internship program bring back a whole new set of perspectives to the university that benefit their academic experience.

“I think that an experience in the real world, doing what they’ve learned (and) seeing how everything connects between learning and practice, is an incredible experience,” Vitter said.

Applications for this year’s Internship Experience are open until Nov. 11.

into matches,” McRoberts said.

“Playing in the best basketball venue in the nation is a great consolation prize to play in as the Gillom gets renovated.”

Freshman volleyball player Nicole Purcell said the team is

looking forward to training and competing in a newly-renovated facility, and the renovations being done will benefit the volleyball program greatly.

“We’re all just really excited to be in a new facility with a new

weight room, new gym and a new locker room,” Purcell said. “I think it will benefit us a lot. We’re just going to become closer and have some amazing matches there.”

truly appreciate the impact we’re making because we physically get to see the people we’re helping.”

The money raised by the walk is used to help cancer survivors in the Oxford community and surrounding counties, according to Wanda Barbour Dent, women’s health navigator of BCC-NM. “Because of Panhellenic leadership, we have never had to to turn away a woman that needs a mammogram or breast ultrasound,” Dent said.

BCC-NM has previously used the money to establish the Cope Library, a program providing personalized breast cancer information for patients and their families, Dent said.

Patients who undergo radi-

ation and chemotherapy receive their own spa-style cotton robes, blanket warmers and burlap bags.

Senior business major Hooks Hausman said he hopes the new open format will raise greater awareness for the cause.

“Cancer has impacted my family,” Hausman said. “I’m glad it’s open to everyone.

It’s a great event with a great cause.”

Author Nathan Hill brings ‘The Nix’ to Square Books AUDREY HALL

alhall3@go.olemiss.edu

The New York Times has called Nathan Hill’s debut novel “The Nix” the love child of David Foster Wallace and Thomas Pynchon.

Hill has been compared to John Irving, who in turn has compared him to Charles Dickens. That’s quite a lot of praise, and still the acclaim pours in for Hill, whose next stop at Square Books will bring him to the town of Barry Hannah, one of his many inspirations.

“I have not been to Oxford yet, but I can’t wait,” Hill said.

“Square Books is legendary. Oxford is Faulkner’s town. I knew Barry Hannah from my MFA program and he was a big inspiration.”

“The Nix” incorporates many autobiographical details inspired from Hill’s own life and experience. The main character is an English professor, much like Hill and has a love interest who is a classical musician, just like Hill’s wife. And as for the details embedded more in myth than reality, “the nix” itself is inspired by Hill’s Scandinavian ancestry.

“The nix is a creature from Scandinavian folklore,” Hill said. “Every country has a different version. It’s a troll crea-

ture that appears as a beautiful white horse in order to tempt kids onto its back. Once there, it carries them into the water and drowns them. That idea seemed really resonant for me. For these

kids, having this beautiful horse approach them would be such a grand highlight of their lives, until it turns around and kills them. It’s that idea of what you love or depend upon coming

back to bite you that threads through this book.”

Hill’s editor, Tim O’Connell, explained his first reaction upon seeing Hill’s manuscript, the story that would eventually become “The Nix.” “‘Wow, this voice is amazing’ would be my first thought, and I had this thought almost immediately,” O’Connell said. “Then I began laughing a lot and I quickly understood that I was in the presence of a writer with great range. My final thought was that I would be doing nothing else until I finish this manuscript.”

“The Nix” relies on humor and satire as well as life-changing revelations to move the story along. Infamously, Hill inserted a 10-page sentence within one chapter, where a man addicted to his MMORPGs tries to make up his mind about quitting them.

“The chapter is two sentences long,” Hill said, laughing.

“The first sentence is short and the second sentence is 10 pages long. This guy thinks that he should quit gaming and promptly spends the entire chapter thinking about why he can’t possibly quit.”

Along with the insular world of gaming and mythology, “The Nix” focuses on issues of abandonment and politics. The main character, Samuel Andre-

sen-Anderson, has long been estranged with his mother, Faye, who abandoned him and his family. Faye resurfaces years later embroiled in scandal and politics, to Samuel’s consternation.

“The snap judgment is that she’s evil,” Hill said. “But that snap judgment is unfair to the depth of human experience. After she’s done this terrible thing, Faye wants to feel like the good guy in her own story. People are judged for split-second decisions and I wanted the book to resist that.”

The humanity of Hill’s novel is grounded in humor and revelation. The story and author both have been heralded as genius.

O’Connell can speak for this better than anyone.

“I had other early readers of the manuscript when I first got it in and each and every one of their reactions was over-the-top joy and praise. I knew that if we could get people reading in the world the reaction would be the same. It is an infectious book.

Thus, while one never can say ‘I knew it’ or truly predict the gauntlet to success, I just had a feeling that this book would find its way, and I am so happy it did,” O’Connell said.

Don’t miss Nathan Hill’s “The Nix” at 6 p.m. Thursday at Square Books.

‘NBA 2K17’ is the best sports video game of all-time MATT BARNTHOUSE

mlbarnth@go.olemiss.edu

As hoops season approaches, 2K Sports returns with their annual installment of the top-selling basketball video game franchise with “NBA 2K17.”

This year’s installment not only outclasses its predecessors in just about every fashion, but 2K17 blows every sports game I’ve ever played out of the water and unquestionably earns the title of “best sports video game of all-time.”

“NBA 2K17” is a masterpiece and the new benchmark of what a sports video game should be.

First off, the gameplay is absurdly realistic. Players battle for loose balls in ways that haven’t been achieved in a video game before. The new “layup meter” is a surprisingly great addition, as contested layups are no longer “predetermined,” and it actually takes player skill to score inside.

The player has access to a plethora of playbooks and halfcourt sets that not only gives one more option to run an offense, but legitimately increases the player’s basketball IQ. I work for a basketball team, and I can run plays in “NBA 2K17” that we run in our own sets. It feels like real basketball. While similar plays were available before, this is the

first year where it really feels like the player movements are fluid and realistic enough to actually be able to run successfully. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a team execute their play to perfection, leaving a shooter wide open.

One gripe for more players may be that time-out menus are more complicated and harder to navigate than before. It’s a minor issue but can be frustrating when one is trying to make multiple adjustments in a short period of time.

“NBA 2K17” also is jam-packed with content. The game features all 30 NBA teams, 21 European teams, numerous historical teams, as well as the United States and Australian National Teams.

In MyLeague mode, players can customize every aspect of what they want their NBA to look like. Players can add up to six expansion teams, as well as customize every aspect of their team, from name to uniforms. It is impossible not to smile while watching the expansion Cincinnati Harambes take on the Golden State Warriors.

MyCareer mode features a cool story mode, with fantastic acting from Michael B. Jordan. Players have to manage their schedules, from endorsement appearances to practice, to even texting Team

USA Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski a bunch of emojis. Players can import their face into the game via the mobile app, as well as customize their wingspan, shoulder width and body length.

2K17 puts the player in control. It is a complete role-playing game built into an already terrific basketball game. However, one gripe is that players only start out as an overall 55. 2K Sports wants players to be tempted to spend more money on “virtual currency” in order to improve their player.

One can make it work without

buying extra virtual currency, but it will take a while for the player to become competitive.

MyTeam (similar to Madden’s Ultimate Team mode) returns with more challenges available to play that don’t take as much time. It is a welcome change, as it is a mode that is fun to play in short bursts. One can build a pretty decent team without forking over real-world money for virtual currency, but be prepared to open the wallet if you want a great team fast.

In conclusion, “NBA 2K17” sets

a benchmark for sports video games and is an absolute mustbuy. The gameplay is magnificent and the content is jam-packed.

The finished product is not only the best sports video game of alltime, but may be in conversation as one of the best video games ever, period.

FINAL VERDICT: 9.8/10 Author’s Note: The game was reviewed on a both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. “NBA 2K17” is also available for PC.

‘Clybourne Park’ wants to leave audience thinking TESSA WASHINGTON

thedmfeatures@gmail.com

The University of Mississippi’s theatre department never fails to produce quality entertainment. This Friday, “Clybourne Park” is making its way to Meek Auditorium.

The award-winning play by Bruce Norris will kick off the Ole Miss Theatre’s 2016-17 season.

Rory Ledbetter, director and associate professor of voice and acting, said he is ecstatic about working with not only the talented cast, but also the incredible writing.

“One of the things I’ve loved working with is the writing,” he said. “It’s intelligent, thought provoking, engaging and very electric.”

One of the most interesting aspects about “Clybourne Park” is how the story is told. The play consists of two separate stories over two acts, centered around a single house in a Chicago neighborhood. The first act, set in 1959, finds the middle-class community anxious to prevent the sale of the house to a black family. Act II takes place in 2009, where the now predominantly black neighborhood is in the midst of gentrifying.

“It’s obviously a very unique show, and its uniqueness stems from the fact that the two acts aren’t necessarily part of a continuous story,” junior acting major Riley McManus said.

“They’re related, yes, but unlike other shows, the characters in Act I and Act II are not directly linked and obviously are not the same people.”

The fact this production follows two story lines requires dedication from the cast. Many of the actors play multiple roles, such as McManus, who takes on three. “[In Act I] I play Jim, the preacher friend of Russ and Bev Stoller, and Jim is a too-upbeat Presbyterian preacher,” said McManus. “In Act II, I play Tom, the lawyer hired by the Clybourne Park Homeowners’ Association to stop the construction of the new house being built in the Stollers’ old home.”

In Act II, McManus also plays the character Kenneth during a flashback to life in the Stoller house a few years before the events of the first act.

“Clybourne Park is a show characterized by smart dialogue and hilarious moments tempered by sobering reminders of harsh realities,” McManus said.

Sophomore musical theatre major Kaelee Albritton also takes on two important roles within the play.

“I’m portraying the roles of

COURTESY: CLYBOURNE PARK

Bev in Act I and Kathy in Act II,” she said. “Bev is a housewife in 1959 who is married to Russ. She loves displaying a picture-perfect image of herself and her family to the community, even though there is so much more going on underneath the surface in the Stoller residence.

Kathy is a real estate lawyer in 2009 who is very much a ‘what you see is what you get’ type of woman. With her stubborn and childlike personality, Kathy adds an interesting dynamic into the group.”

Albritton said responses to the story will vary, but what matters is the audience takes away awareness.

“Theatre isn’t about forcing ideals or opinions of the show onto our audience,” she said.

“It’s our job as storytellers to raise questions that the audience can answer for themselves.

Everyone is going to respond to this story in different ways.

I know what I’ve been taking away from it personally, but even myself and my cast mates have been experiencing something completely different. The only thing I ask the audience to take away from this production is a sense of awareness. This show will hopefully make our audience be honest with them-

selves and how they treat those around them.”

Although the cast explores different roles, there is only one character who remains stagnant throughout the entire production.

“The one character that never changes is the house… the house is the one constant,” Led-

better said.

Ledbetter said he hopes the audience members will leave “Clybourne Park” assessing their own personal stances on important issues.

“I would say I want audience members to go away questioning their own beliefs, what their beliefs are and why they hold

their beliefs,” Ledbetter said.

Tickets are on sale now at the Ole Miss Box Office. The show will run from Friday, throughout the rest of the month and into October. For specific dates, check the Ole Miss Theatre website.

Wednesday practice report: Rebels prepare for Georgia BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com

Head Coach Hugh Freeze says there’s been an absence of emotion in practice this week, but he’s okay with that.

“We’ve gotten really good work in. I think we’ve improved in some areas, hopefully with more discipline of eyes and doing your job on a certain task,” Freeze said.

Ole Miss will face its third top-15 opponent in four weeks when it takes the field against Georgia on Saturday, a team brimming with confidence after a 3-0 start.

“They present a lot of issues with their tight ends and their shifts and their motions and their formations,” Freeze said. “You’ve got to be sure that you’ve got a plan that’s simple enough to adjust to all of that.”

Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack likened the Bulldog offense to Arkansas in the way they run the football and use their tight ends.

“It’s different,” Wommack said. “They’re going to run 11 personnel and give you a four-wide pictures and empty pictures out of it. They won the game the other night at Missouri doing that.”

It will be a different look as the Ole Miss defense will face a pocket passer in Jacob Eason and a strong running game headlined by Nick Chubb. It is also the third time in four weeks the Rebels will be seeing a freshman quarterback, though in this one Eason will sit back in the pocket and throw it more than the other two.

“I think that’s how they compensate with their offense. They’ve got a few snaps of wildcat they put in there, and the way that they’re set up is to run the football with their great backs and take the

Womack will get some help this week as Freeze announced that Derrick Jones, a defensive back turned receiver and then back again, has been cleared to play along with offensive tackle Jeremy Liggins.

The two had been suspended for a violation of team policy. Freeze did add that this was “as of today” and that the two still have requirements to meet each day leading up to the game.

“I want to see him in the rotation,” Wommack said of Jones. “He’s a great athlete and gives us some length so he’ll absolutely get a lot playing time.”

Jones will add some much-needed experience to a young secondary that has taken its lumps early on against some elite competition.

will be the last mountain to climb in what has been a brutal opening four weeks for Ole Miss. No one has played a tougher schedule than the Rebels to this point. The injuries have mounted up with the losses, but Freeze has appreciated the chance to play against the best.

“You wish they weren’t all together in a row, but it is very enjoyable for me. The way I view things, it is very enjoyable to compete against the best,” Freeze said. “It’s disappointing and hurts and stings and all of those things when it doesn’t go your way, especially when you think you had a good enough team to win on that given day. You can’t worry about the last one. You’ve got to get excited about the next opportunity and we’ve got a great one.”

Ole Miss and Georgia kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday at home.

Landshark defense to face third freshman quarterback KIRSTEN MCGILL

thedmsports@gmail.com

Coming off of a loss to Alabama and recovering from injuries, the Ole Miss defense is set to take on Georgia’s offense lead by true freshman quarterback Jacob Eason.

Since Eason isn’t a running quarterback like a couple of the quarterbacks Ole Miss has faced this year in Florida State’s Deondre Francois and Alabama’s Jalen Hurts, it will be a different challenge for the Rebels this week.

The Bulldogs are building their offense around their running backs to make things a little easier on their true freshman quarterback. Eason looks like an NFL quarterback and is a guy who will win a lot of games for them, according to Chris Kiffin, Ole Miss defensive line coach.

“They are trying to establish a run and keep it simple for Jacob, but again, just like every game, it is going to be about us and executing our defensive game plan,” Kiffin said.

Isaiah McKenzie is a wide receiver the Rebel defense will have to keep an eye on during Saturday’s matchup in addition to running back Nick Chubb.

McKenzie had 10 catches and 122 yards last week in a win at Missouri.

Ole Miss will face a a relatively inexperienced offensive line unit in Georgia. Defensive end John Youngblood welcomes the challenge of facing the Bulldogs up front.

“Their offensive coordinator and their offensive line coach are very familiar with us, so I am sure they are going to come out with a couple packages that we are going to have to adjust to,” Youngblood said.

The Rebels have bounced back quicker from the Alabama loss than from the Florida State loss, according to Youngblood.

Although this loss isn’t as quick of a turnaround as the Florida State loss, the Rebels have had a good week of practice that included watching film of Georgia on Monday and Tuesday.

The Ole Miss defense has already suffered a number of injuries early in the season, including Victor Evans to a concussion. Evans was back at practice on Tuesday hitting, and Kiffin says he looks healthy and they are excited to get him back.

Usually the Rebels play eight linemen confidently, but due to the number of injuries the defense has suffered, they were only able to play seven in their loss to Alabama. With an Ole Miss offense that scores very quickly while running an up-tempo offense, it does not

Allowing opponents to convert on third down and get multiple first downs does not help with giving the defense a rest either.

“We can not let them keep getting first downs on us, and if we are out there four or five

minutes every time, we are going to go on the sideline gassed,” Youngblood said. “We certainly have to get off the field on third downs.”

Due to these injuries on defense, guys like defensive end Garrald McDowell and defensive end Charles Wiley need to

step up to pad the Rebels’ depth.

“It is going to be a collective effort,” Kiffin said. “It always is, and it just depends on how the games continue to go.”

Kickoff between No. 23 Ole Miss and No. 12 Georgia will be at 11:00 a.m. Saturday in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
