There have been several pipeline oil spills in 2016, including the Colonial Pipeline spill in Alabama, which was repaired and resumed operation Nov. 5, according to the company response site. The increase in pipeline leaks across the nation are coming from the network of older pipelines, which have become more susceptible to corrosion. The Colonial Pipeline was 53 years old. In addition to students, com-
While some students rest their heads on their dorm room pillow or across town in their home away from home and moms and dads tuck their kids in for bed, hundreds of Mississippians go to sleep without a roof over their head. Local organizations like Doors of Hope are fighting against the growing homeless problem in north Mississippi. Doors of Hope Transition Ministries help at-risk and homeless families with young children in Lafayette County by offering mentorship, life-skills training and supportive housing. Doors of Hope opened in 2011, and since then, 16 families have completed their Self-Sufficiency Transitional Empowerment Program. The STEPS program allows families to stay in rent-free apartments for up to six months, as long as they adhere to strict rules including paying off debts, working jobs and meeting with case manager Carrie Driskell several times a week. Three families are enrolled in the program now, and three oth-
ore than 20 Ole Miss community members protested the Dakota Access Pipeline construction with signs that read “Natives Lives Matter,” “Stand with Standing Rock” and “People Over Pipeline” Ole Miss alumnus Stephanie Grammar, 24, passed out pamphlets in front of the Student Union Tuesday afternoon, urging others to take action. “I’m just here to help,” Grammar said. The pipeline, which is planned
to span more than 1,100 miles from northwestern North Dakota through South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, has sparked outrage from the people across the country. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe fears “a high risk that culturally and historically significant sites will be damaged or destroyed in the absence of an injunction.” According to court documents, the Standing Rock Sioux filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Aug. 4, but it was later dismissed by a federal judge.
Grammar said she thinks putting a pipeline through Sioux tribal ground would be like putting one through Arlington National Cemetery. Organizer Maddie Jewess, a senior Chinese and international studies major, said she became motivated to help after researching the harm of harvesting oil. Jewess said she is concerned the oil will pollute water and negatively impact the Missouri River. “If that were to spill, it would affect our water,” Jewess said.

events, speakers discussed the media’s role in the election and the use of the Electoral College but agreed the election was unlike any before it. Overby Fellow Curtis Wilkie, Chairman Charles Overby and political science professor Marvin King spoke on the panel. Wilkie covered eight presidential campaigns as a journalist and served as a White House Correspondent from 1977 to 1982. Overby also covered presidential campaigns as a journalist and is a
former state chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. King once served as delegate to the Democratic National Convention. “I’ve never seen the press go after any candidate more than they went after Trump,” Overby said. Wilkie said Trump was very open and readily available to the media, whereas Clinton was more guarded and reserved when it PHOTO BY: SHELICE BENSON came to media attention. “The press enjoyed covering Charles Overby, Marvin King and Curtis Wilkie talk during the “What Now?

Our nation is hurt, plagued with pain from the presidential election. The road was long and filled with scandal after scandal from both candidates, which damaged our nation’s integrity
and morals. Donald Trump has won the election. That is extremely difficult for me to say, but nonetheless, he is now the president-elect and will be taking office in January. So what do we non-Trump supporters do now? Truly, we cannot do anything about who has been elected president. It is something no one can really change, and it is something that we must accept and with which we must deal. After dealing with our grief about the country’s future, we must move on. However, we must not forget that Trump is not president just yet. We still have time to enjoy and honor President Barack

Obama’s last days in the White House, and I think that is what we should be focusing on at this moment. We should be honoring him, not dwelling on the things that have not happened yet. We have less than 3 months to enjoy Obama being in office until Trump becomes the official face of the American people. I personally want to thank President Obama for all the good he has done for our country. In my opinion, Obama’s biggest accomplishment as president has been the Affordable Care Act. He expanded Medicaid to new heights in order to help even more low-income people have access to sufficient

healthcare services. This gave medical coverage to more than than 16 million people who did not have any before. He broke down the barriers between classes, races, sexualities and genders. He was the first president to openly and fully support LGBTQ rights. During his term, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. This gave people the ability to be who they are and love whom they want with nothing to hold them back from being happy.

progress does not happen overnight, but it does happen. We needed his presidency to give us hope for humanity, hope in the political system and hope in our nation. Most importantly, he taught us very recently that no matter what, “The sun will rise in the morning,” and that we can get through anything, as long as we unite and reconcile with the people around us. Thank you, President Obama, for being the best president that we have had in a long time. Mikala Turner is a sophomore social work major from Bruce.

munity members and professors also joined in standing up for Standing Rock Sioux. Oxford resident Michael McMurray said he wanted to show support to marginalized people and bring attention to the environmental impact of pipelines. “I’m on the side of oppressed people,” McMurray said. “They’ll be no jobs on a dead planet.” Journalism professor Joe Atkins, literature professor Peter Wirth and director of the environmental studies minor Ann Fisher-Wirth also held signs. Fisher-Wirth said there should be more focus on protecting groundwater, which can be contaminated by extracting oil. “I think we need to turn away from fossil fuels,” Fisher-Wirth said. The number of protesters grew as more students and professors got out of class. Members of the group brought extra posters and markers for people who wanted to join them. Joseph McQueen, a senior business management major, said he had to finish homework and go to class, but after he was done, he joined in. McQueen’s sign read, “What will remain after greed has poisoned the water, killed the trees and burned up the oil?” “I wish I could do more,” McQueen said.
Trump because they could get to him, and Hillary is behind this wall of protective aides that think they will keep her quiet,” Wilkie said. Wilkie said in the end, the media aided in Trump’s ability to garner the Republican presidential nomination. Wilkie said the only election he can remotely compare this year to is Ronald Reagan’s “Reagan Revolution” in the 1980s. “Political reporters thought the Reagan election was going to be close, but it wasn’t,” Wilkie said. “At least Reagan was experienced and was surrounded by a lot of good people, and I’m not sure Trump has that, and I think that might be the most troubling aspect of Trump’s election.” Wilkie said the media ended up helping Trump become more popular and get serious political recognition. Additionally, Trump helped the media in return by increasing their ratings. “The election would have been different if Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush had gotten the same amount of free media coverage as Trump,” King said. King compared 2016 to the 1990 election the Republicans took over both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. King said that similar to after that election year, Congress will never be the same, and no one knows what to expect with Trump.

“Even Republicans in Congress don’t know what they’re getting with Trump,” King said. The panel also discussed the idea of the Electoral College and the impact it had on the presidential race. “I’ve got problems with the electoral college,” Wilkie said. “If you win the popular vote, you should be elected period.” Trump is the fifth president in American history to win the presidential election without winning the popular vote. The Electoral College was developed because the United States’ founding fathers did not agree on how to elect the president. Additionally, the small states didn’t want the large states to dictate who becomes president, according to King, “The Electoral College is antiquated,” King said. Ultimately, the three panelists agree that the pollsters were the major losers in this election. “They got it wrong in a handful of crucial Midwestern states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and a few others, and even if you get it right on the national level, it comes down to the states,” King said. “They overestimated Democratic turnout in these crucial states that flipped unexpectedly.” King said the nation is seeing an even larger divide between rural and urban, red and blue and young and old, which is evident in this election turnout. “We have never seen an election like this before,” Overby said.

er apartments stand furnished and waiting for families. Driskell joined Doors of Hope in 2015. She attended Ole Miss where she earned her bachelor’s degree in social work. She earned her master’s in social work from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas. She said the organization has noticed a variety of causes leading to local homelessness. “Now that we’re accustomed to seeing families who have more debt than income ratios, and finding work or affordable housing in Lafayette County, there is a severe lack of that,” Driskell said. Driskell said there is simply too much student housing in Oxford and not nearly enough buildings that can provide the type of environment families with children need. She believes the Oxford community would benefit from a homeless shelter. “Obviously, [people] can use Doors of Hope Transition Ministries; we only help families that have minor children,” Driskell said. Outside of Doors of Hope,
Driskell said homeless locals can turn to the Interfaith Compassion Ministry or the Salvation Army. She said Oxford has plenty of room for more awareness and education about what homelessness is across the county. “People can start volunteering at a variety of agencies and calling them to see what type of populations that they work with, and donations can come in handy, not necessarily money, but they can donate their time,” she said. Driskell said the many problems homeless people face can be hard for them everyday. “The homeless face no job, no place to stay, no active place to take a bath. Whatever you have on a daily basis, take that away, and that’s a homeless person,” Driskell said. Sophomore chemistry major Jay Vaughn said the number of homeless people living in Oxford is a silent problem that doesn’t get the press it deserves. “Students, including me, and residents of this area tend to forget that many people don’t even have a place to sleep at night. I think there’s a lot of things that we as a community can do to reach out to these people and lift them up,” Vaughan said.

Visit the silver screen over Thanksgiving break ANNA HODGES
akhodges@go.olemiss.edu
It’s that time of year again. At this point in the semester, you’re drowning in homework and test papers, and the only thing keeping you motivated to get through the week is the light at the end of the tunnel: Thanksgiving break. This break is a week of nothing but lazy days with family and endless plates of turkey-day goodness. However, with the freedom of doing nothing, boredom comes easily. But, thanks to Hollywood, that wasted time can easily be used seeing one of the countless movies premiering this month.
The Science Fiction Thriller: "Arrival" Release Date: Nov. 11 Why you should see it: With “Arrival,” director Denis Villeneuve brings to the big screen the retelling of Ted Chiang’s short story, “Story of Your Life.” The film focuses on the linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) and physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), who have been called in to attempt communication with aliens whose ships have mysteriously appeared in different places throughout the world. Because of her great fascination with the visiting humanoids, the two may come to unveil revelations about not only the otherworldly intruders but about mankind as well. Diving into themes about the importance of communication with other and all groups of our society and how simply taking the time to learn can make a huge difference across the board definitely hits home, especially during a year like 2016. This sci-fi thriller will surely get you thinking.
The Brutal Biopic: “Bleed for This” Release Date: Nov. 18 Why you should see it: After a devastating car accident, champion boxer Vinny Pazienza (Miles Teller) is expected to never be able to walk again, let alone step back into the ring. But with persistence, brutal training and the encouragement of those around him, Pazienza beats all the odds. “Bleed for This” tells the awe-inspiring story of perhaps the most amazing comeback in the history of the sport.
The New Disney Princess: “Moana” Release Date: Nov. 23 Why you should see it: From the creaters of “Frozen” and “Zootopia,” and an incredible soundtrack from the great mind of “Hamilton” creator Lin Manuel Miranda, comes the new film, “Moana.” The story follows a young girl who has a particular bond with the ocean and a great talent for navigation. Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) sets off on a journey to a mystical land and gains the help of demi-god hero, Maui (Dwayne Johnson) along the way. Together, the two impart on a voyage like no other, taking on the great wonders the ocean has to offer.
Why you should see it: It’s hard to believe that it has already been five years since the magic of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter last graced the silver screen when it feels like just yesterday. But not to worry, because the long drought is over. The much-anticipated spin-off movie from the World of Harry Potter is finally here and promising to leave audiences stunned. “Fantastic Beasts” tells the story of magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), who comes to the United States in the year 1926. He has brought some interesting luggage with him. What Newt carries in that small suitcase hides a great secret, and it’s The Anticipated Return: one about which the Ministry of Magic is very uneasy. “Fantastic “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Beasts and Where to Find Them” Find Them” is a magical, and rather dark, Release Date: Nov. 18 take on Rowling’s wonderful world of witchcraft and wizardry that we can only hope will stun.
The Historical Drama: “Allied” Release Date: Nov. 23 Why you should see it: Set in the era of WWII, “Allied” is an action-packed drama that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat with anticipation. The story focuses on Max Vatan (Brad Pitt), an American intelligence officer who sinfully allows his heart to fall into the hands of Marianne Beausejour (Marion Cotillard), a fighter in the French Resistance. Together they fight a great enemy and complete a deadly mission. Once the battle is done and all seems well, Vatan cannot seem to bring himself to shake the fear of betrayal from his wife, Marianne. The star-studded cast and constant woes of drama in this movie will certainly make buying a ticket worthwhile. Why you should see it: If there’s one thing we can all relate to, it’s that terrible, horrendous period in high school we would rather forget happened. Zits, hair catastrophes and broken hearts happen to us all. And for high-schooler Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), it seems that life just won’t give her a break from this constant turmoil that is adolescence. After her best friend, Krista (Haley Lu Richardson), commits the ultimate betrayal and begins seeing Nadine’s older brother, it seems the universe is truly out to get her. “The Edge of Seventeen” is a comedy-packed film that brings out the awkward teenager in us all, as we watch Nadine try to take on the world one awkward mistake at a time.

Southside Gallery channels fall in current exhibit SARAH SMITH
sasmit17@go.olemiss.edu
A hazy imitation of reality reigns this month at Southside Gallery. Paintings that have alluring and dark tones of color remind one of fall, but spring also presents itself in bright vibrant colors in some of the works. One of the collections exhibited at Southside is “Preludes” by Philip Jackson, a professor at the University of Mississippi. He created these paintings over his sabbatical last semester and shared them with his students this semester upon returning, hoping to inspire them. “The ‘Preludes’ series from Philip are a big break from work he has done in the past. It’s refreshing to see him engage with a new style,” Wil Cook, owner of Southside Gallery, said. The “Preludes” are images of real objects in a hazy and soft light, appearing almost shadowy. Many in this collection are floral subjects among other nature paintings done primarily on panels with oil paint. Jackson says they are more about the essence than a real imitation of the object in focus. “Rather than providing the paintings with unlimited detail, rather the paintings are the evidence of my attempt to capture the essence of what was in front
of me.” Jackson said. The next artist in this month’s collection is Drew Galloway, whose art is both time-stopping and majestic. A few notable pieces in the collection are “The Falls” and “Moonlight On The Lake.” “The Falls” is an angelic piece with a charming allure, and it seems to be a never-ending spiral both of beauty and mystery. It takes not only a second glance, but a third and fourth as well. It takes one by surprise with its scroll-like body that seems to suggest there is more to this than we see. The serene “Moonlight on the Lake” piece is simply a rendition of a cloudy night and full moon hanging over a lake. It is not the most original of his pieces but is as eye-catching as all of them. Rod Moorhead is a local sculptor who created a collection of nude statues — two of which can be seen from Southside’s front window.

midst of a fluid movement. This exhibit is not Moorhead’s first experience at Southside. He is one of the founders of Southside Art Gallery. Moorhead said his favorite piece of the collection is “Tango in Paradise III,” which is a small
bronze piece. Southside’s November exhibit brings together colors that invoke feelings of fall and the cool weather change, almost perfectly reflecting this time of year. The exhibit will be on display until Nov. 26.

Cross country coach named region coach of the year OLEMISSSPORTS.COM
NEW ORLEANS – After leading the Ole Miss men's cross country team to its third straight NCAA appearance in his fourth season at the helm, Ryan Vanhoy was named the South Region Men's Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Tuesday. Vanhoy receives the honor after leading the Rebel men to another record-setting season. The Rebels spent the entire season ranked No. 1 in the South Region as well as top 20 in the nation, going as high as No. 11. Ole Miss claimed the second NCAA South Region Championship in school history (also won in 2014) to advance to the national meet. The Rebels also matched their best SEC finish in program history, placing runner-up to host Arkansas. The men had top-three fin-
ishes in all meets this season, including team wins at the Rebel Invite (Sept. 9) and Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational (Sept. 30). In his fourth season heading up the Ole Miss cross country program, Vanhoy coached six All-SEC men (two first-team, four second-team) as well as five All-Region men for the third straight year. Vanhoy coached two SEC Runners of the Week - junior Sean Tobin the week of Oct. 4 and senior MJ Erb the week of Oct. 18. Tobin also earned USTFCCCA National Runner of the Week after winning the individual title at Notre Dame. Previously, Vanhoy was awarded South Region Men’s Indoor Track & Field Assistant Coach of the Year in 2016 and South Region Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Assistant Coach of the Year in 2015.

Rebels ready to build on improved performance SAM HARRES
thedmsports@gmail.com
While quarterback Shea Patterson’s introduction to the NCAA stage will garner most of the headlines, he wasn’t the only Rebel having a good game. With such a young quarterback at the helm of his ship, Head Coach Hugh Freeze had to look for other team leaders to step up and lead Ole Miss into battle against such a dangerous Texas A&M team. Senior running back Akeem Judd was ready to answer the call. After struggling to find penetration early in the season, Judd looks to finally have hit his stride. He rushed for more than 100 yards in his second consecutive game and contributed a touchdown Saturday night. Running backs Coach Derrick Nix, a legend at Southern Miss himself, knew it was only a matter of time. “We challenged him as an offensive staff probably about four games ago to be the one-cut, downhill physical presence we need in this offense, especially down the stretch, and he’s been getting better and better every week at that,” Nix said. “I especially challenged him going into last week’s game, going into it with a freshman quarterback and him not knowing the ins and outs. I just told him he’s got to be a lot better so that we can lean on him during this game against A&M, and he showed up.” Having a run option took pressure off Patterson and gave him plenty of time to make the right throws. Judd was able to make the kinds of runs he did, in large part, due to the Ole Miss offensive line. While it too has had its own set of struggles, its play has improved substantially as well. “It always starts up front with them, them getting great movement, getting the push up front to give us some room…We want to be a running team as well and just be balanced. Deal with the running ball as well as we pass it,” Nix said.

Running back Akeem Judd finds a hole to run through during a game against Georgia Southern earlier this season. Judd rushed for more than 100 yards in his second consecutive game after Saturday’s win over Texas A&M. On the other side of the ball, the Rebels’ defense seems to finally be finding its groove. For Head Defensive Coach Dave Wommack, a win against an eighth-ranked Aggie team with lethal offensive weapons means the world. Even more so, in a season where both wins and defensive stops have not been few and far between, keeping a school like Texas A&M to 28 brings relief to Wommack and his staff. “It was good to get that win. Everyone in the locker room was excited, the coaches, the players,
everybody, and we need it. I mean, we really needed it,” Wommack said. “That was our first road victory of the year. I don’t know how long it’s been since it’s taken that long in the season to get a road victory, but we got one against a very quality football team, and you have to build on it.” A shaky first half probably quickly turned into a dominant second half as the Rebels held A&M to just seven points in the third and fourth quarters. “I think when we came out on the onsides kick in the second
half and just stopped them pretty quick right there we just kind of built on it,” Wommack said. “They just got a little bit of confidence…
As soon as we stopped [making mistakes], we were a much better defense.”

Week 13: SEC Power Rankings BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE
NO. 3 AUBURN
NO. 2 LSU
NO. 1 ALABAMA The Tide is miles ahead of the rest of the SEC and has already clinched the SEC West.
Head Coach Ed Orgeron has this team playing well. It wasn’t enough to beat Alabama, but I’d take LSU against just about anyone else in the SEC right now.
NO. 6 FLORIDA
NO. 5 ARKANSAS
It’s kind of amazing that the Gators are 7-2 with the amount of offense they’ve produced each game. But that’s probably more of an indictment on how bad the SEC East is. The Gators control their own destiny in this division that no one wants to win. So that has to count for something, right?
It got throttled at home by LSU 38-10 this past weekend after beating Florida pretty bad. I have no clue what to make of this team. Again, the Hogs beat Florida and Ole Miss, so they’re five by default, I guess.
NO. 9 GEORGIA Head Coach Kirby Smart inked his first signature win by downing Auburn this weekend. His group has struggled at times this year, but a credit to that defense for digging deep and winning a big one for the Bulldogs.
The Tigers looked determined to make this Iron Bowl really interesting for while, but a loss to Georgia this past weekend dashed any hopes they had of winning the West. Despite the sloppy performance, the run game is still solid, and that defense is nasty.
I feel like the Aggies are four by default. The SEC is just really mediocre outside of Alabama this year. Head Coach Kevin Sumlin has a mess on his hands witha porous defense and no Trevor Knight. Texas A&M looks to be limping to the finish line.
NO. 7 OLE MISS
NO. 8 TENNESSEE
Shea Patterson shot some life into a fading football team. He gave the Rebels a glimpse into the future in College Station and likely triggered some bittersweet memories of Johnny Manziel from Aggie fans.
NO. 10 SOUTH CAROLINA Head Coach Will Muschamp’s team isn’t working with much offensively, but they’ve given nearly everyone a fight for four quarters. The cupboard was bare when he arrived, but the Gamecocks are playing hard for him in his first year.
NO. 4 TEXAS A&M
NO. 11 KENTUCKY It flirted with winning the east for a while, but they can’t really stop anyone on defense. That’s a problem. It’s been a strange year for Mark Stoops and his seat would be a lot hotter if not for the absurd 17 million dollar buyout for he and his staff. Someone’s agent deserves a cookie.
Head Coach Butch Jones did not lose to Kentucky. I’m trying to be positive here. They still have a puncher’s chance of winning the East, but that ends in a rematch with Alabama. What a prize.
