State policy stops co-ed living at Campus Walk

BY HILLARY GOODFELLOW The Daily Mississippian

Co-ed living will no longer be permitted at the Campus Walk apartment complex starting in August.

The University of Mississippi recently purchased the complex as another option for student housing.

Campus Walk will operate under the same rules as the Northgate on-campus complex, meaning male and female students cannot live in the same apartment.

Student housing director Lorinda Krhut said this policy was put into effect long ago by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning.

IHL legislative director Natalie Chandler said the rule, which dates back to at least 1990, applies to all of Mississippi’s eight public universities.

“This is a long standing policy by the Board of Trustees,” Chandler said. “It is designed to protect student privacy.”

Chandler said there are no current plans to change this policy.

Campus Walk will no longer offer co-ed apartments after being purchased by the University of Mississippi. Policy created by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning means residents have to abide by state student housing standards.

could sign a special agreement to live in a co-ed unit, according to a former Campus Walk licensing agent who did not want to be identified.

Now that the complex will have to adhere to state policy, some students are hesitant to consider Campus Walk as a housing option, including sophomore psychology major Chase Killebrew.

“I thought about living in Campus Walk, but I changed my mind because of the rule,” Killebrew said. “If my sister transfers here, I want to have the chance to live with her. I’m an adult and should be able to live with whomever I want.”

Krhut said the policy will apply to all residents, including a small percentage of nonuniversity students, which in-

clude visiting professors who have been asked to find other housing by July 31.

University housing contracts will begin August 1.

Campus Walk residents sign housing agreements for a full year: fall, spring, and summer terms.

The apartments are open to all Ole Miss students with 30 hours or more.

KENNEDY SEEKS TO BLOCK PROFANITY FROM UPCOMING DEFAMATION TRIAL

FILE PHOTO | The Daily Mississippian

Andy Kennedy and his attorney have requested a Cincinnati court to not repeat the profanity he and his staff allegedly used during a verbal assault on a cab driver when his defamation lawsuit goes to trial on Aug. 16, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

BY ERIC BESSON Sports Editor

Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy has requested that profanity not be used in court at his upcoming

defamation trial concerning comments made following his 2008 arrest, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Kennedy was charged with physically and ver-

bally assaulting Cincinnati cab driver Mohamed Jiddou outside of a bar in December 2008. He filed a lawsuit the following day, claiming defamation of character by Jiddou and Michael Strother, a valet who witnessed the incident and told local media he saw Kennedy attack Jiddou and use racial slurs.

“A man takes his whole life to establish credibility,” Kennedy said in response to filing the civil suit, according to a 2008 Clarion-Ledger article. “And I cannot stand back and allow my credibility to be (ruined) based on false allegations.”

Kennedy’s attorney Wil-

liam Posey said foul language was used during the incident, and that it was so offensive that he wants the judge to ban profanity from the court, according to the Enquirer.

Jiddou’s attorney, David Mann, believes Posey wants to limit Kennedy’s embarrassment by barring the words.

“A good part of this case is about the rather (free) use of foul words,” Mann told the Cincinnati Enquirer.

“It’s the kind of language that was used that night.”

The trial is scheduled for Aug. 16.

The timeless appeal of Betty White BY

JON MOSBY Columnist

T H E

In the past year, Betty White has become one of my favorite actresses. From hosting “Saturday Night Live” to starring in a Snickers commercial, she’s all over the place. If, for some reason, you’re having trouble thinking of who Betty White is, she played Ryan Reynolds’ grandmother in “The Proposal.”

What amazes me most is that for a woman who’s been in the entertainment business for over 63 years, she’s remained incredibly funny and relevant.

White began her career as a model and radio personality, even hosting her own radio program. During the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, she frequently appeared on late night talk shows and daily game shows.

She had significant roles in TV shows like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Mama’s Family.”

Her signature role was as Rose Nylund in the 1980s and ‘90s sitcom, “The Golden Girls” (don’t act like you’ve never seen a “Golden Girls” marathon... willingly).

Of the show’s characters, Rose Nylund was my favorite. Rose was incredibly naïve and simple minded, and her limitless St. Olaf stories had almost nothing in common with the topic at hand. Her best lines as Rose most often were when she would ask a stupid question, and everyone would reply

with a sarcastic answer. And even with the sarcasm, she still just didn’t get it. Her interactions with Bea Arthur’s character Dorothy were classic. Often after a conversation with Rose, Dorothy would end the conversation with “Oh, shut up, Rose!”

Following the successful eight-year run of “The Golden Girls,” White kept steady work as a guest star on series like “That ‘70s Show,” “Malcolm in the Middle” and “Ugly Betty”. She portrayed memorable characters in “My Name is Earl” as the ‘Witch Lady,’ and “Boston Legal” as the crazy gossiping character Catherine Piper. Both appearances led to Emmy award nominations. She also lent her voice to several animated shows, including “King of the Hill”, “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy”. From 2006 to 2009, she even had a successful stint on the soap opera, “The Bold and the Beautiful”.

But White arguably didn’t become popular with our generation until 2009 in the Sandra Bullock film, “The Proposal,” portraying Ryan Reynolds’ grandmother. Her appeal increased dramatically when she appeared in a Snickers commercial, which aired during Super Bowl XLIV, as a not-so-great football player in which one character yells, “Dude, you’re playing like Betty White out there!” and White comically replies, “That’s

not what your girlfriend says!”

In January, a grassroots campaign began on Facebook to get Betty White to host an episode of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”.

Eventually producers for the show felt it was a great idea, and on May 8, she hosted “SNL”, becoming the oldest person to ever host the program. Her opening monologue was spot-on funny. She poked fun at Facebook, the site that got her on “SNL” in the first place, calling it “an incredible waste of time.” Betty White’s episode of “SNL” became the show’s highest rated episode since 2008.

In June, a new series, “Hot in Cleveland”, featuring White as a sassy caretaker, premiered on TV Land. The show, which is TV Land’s first scripted series, became the highest rated show of TV Land’s 14-year history.

With almost 5 million viewers, TV Land has already renewed “Hot in Cleveland” for a second season.

White has her own 2011 calendar coming soon. There’s a clothing line featuring Betty White coming to stores in August. White will also appear in NBC’s “Community” as an anthropology professor in the fall.

What I love most about Betty White is she’s an extremely funny lady who isn’t afraid of a joke after 80.

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF BROADBAND

BY MATTHEW HENRY Columnist

The National Broadband Plan, proposed by the Federal Communications Commission, states “Infrastructure networks unite us as a country, bringing together parents and children, buyers and sellers, and citizens and government in ways once unimaginable… [and] broadband is the great infrastructure challenge of the early 20th century.”

Like the implementation of large-scale electrical lines and the construction of the massive interstate highway system, broadband internet is the next step in the evolution of American infrastructure. If the effects of previous innovations such as railroads and telephone lines are any measure, this next step promises to revolutionize nearly every aspect of our lives.

We’ve witnessed the growth of broad-

band Internet over the past decade and have seen the explosion of economic and social growth on the Internet. Remember dial-up on services like AOL? Part of me misses the sound of a robotic chorus whenever you logged on, but the rest of me hated waiting more than a minute for a page to load. Websites such as YouTube and Facebook would never have existed with dial-up (think about it, no viral videos or Facebook statuses). High speed and constant internet connections are now a part of your daily routine. Some may think that we have finished the broadband transition, but when you think about it, we are just beginning.

So, where do we go from here?

Like the infrastructure examples of the electric grid and the highway system, it takes time for the corporations and government agencies involved to deploy this technological advancement. If you are in-

terested about the current trajectory of the national policy, I strongly suggest reading the text of the National Broadband Plan at www.broadband.gov (it’s a heavy read at 376 pages). Basically, the plan looks at how to increase the presence of broadband technology and how to increase the adoption of this technology for economic and civic endeavors.

Currently, the FCC estimates that 100 million Americans do not have broadband, and about 24 million of those do not even have Internet access. In an age where the Internet has become the place of vast knowledge and a platform for speech and ideas, we need all Americans to have access and understand how to access broadband Internet. From an economic perspective, one of the only ways that Americans will remain competitive is if we have the infrastructure and knowledge to remain competitive. If we do not have robust broad-

band access and systems, we will fall far behind our global competitors.

I realize one of the challenges to this plan is the sheer size of the United States.

Countries such as Japan are able to create an incredible high speed network relatively easily because of its small geographical size. Although many issues face the United States today, we cannot let this opportunity pass us by. It is going to require innovation from the free market and the government in order to quickly implement all of these changes.

Think to yourself how much the Internet has played an increasingly important role in the last decade. Now, imagine how much more important it will be to our education, jobs and well-being by the end of the next decade. Supporting greater broadband penetration in the United States means a more competitive, better educated and wealthier America.

STRESSED SPELLED BACKWARD IS DESSERTS

BY ANGELA ROGALSKI Columnist

I recently received an e-mail forward from a friend that included a few tips on how to handle the grind of daily stress. The above title was one of the pearls of wisdom that just seemed to stick with me and really made my mouth open and shut in amazement.

Now, I’m probably the only person in the world that has never noted the earth-shattering significance of the phenomenon, but how astounding is this? I mean, come on, ‘stressed’ spelled backwards is ‘desserts’! Every cheesecake that I have consumed in times of extreme crisis now makes perfect sense to me.

For all those moments that I have beaten myself up over the intake of sugary delicacies to find out that it was preordained puts it all into perspective for me. That’s why when your car won’t start, you’re running late, your jeans won’t zip anymore (ok, maybe that’s a bad example), your dog chewed your cell phone or some uninvited eight-legged creature decided the dark confines of your tennis shoe would make a fantastic new home, the only thing that will make those situations bearable is something decadently sweet and rich! Uh-huh, I get it now. Sugar is the ultimate comfort food.

Unfortunately for me, I have had to forego the wonders of the sugary world for a new plane of existence: the dreaded stratus-sphere of the artificial sweetener. But, I must say it hasn’t been too bad. I can still have my calamity-calming slice of pecan pie, as long as it has that little seven letter word stamped on the top: Splenda.

So if you’re like me trying to live the sugar-free life, or you’re lapping the luxury of thick, gooey, wonderfully sweet chocolate in times of dire straits, just know that with every bite you take, your conscience can remain clear and your integrity intact.

get your morning fix

There’s a reason that sensation of bliss happens when it’s melting sublimely on your tongue: phenyl ethylamine, the same chemical that is released in your brain when you fall in love. Also, researchers have proven that endorphins are released in your body while eating chocolate. Hence the feelings of supreme pleasure that course through your whole being while you indulge in a Hershey bar.

So, it’s no wonder stressed spelled backwards is desserts. With things beyond our control going on here like endorphins and chemicalsI can’t pronounce or spell without Google, what choice do we have but to stuff our faces with lasciviously luscious lemon icebox pie and Linzer cookies? (Always my personal favorite.)

After all, it’s not our fault that words in the English language hold the fate of our emotions in their mysterious spellings.

University Museum director William Andrews describes a piece of art by Mitchell Wright.

Wright’s exhibit, which opened last week, is a visual response to Faulkner’s story “Barn Burning”.

UVA puts audio archives of William Faulkner online

TheDMonline.com

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Southern literary icon William Faulkner wrote detailed portraits of life in Mississippi’s fictional Yoknapatawpha County, often using long, winding sentences in densely packed paragraphs.

Newly available recordings at the University of Virginia allow people to hear Faulkner’s soft drawl, and to listen to him talk about his writing, his career and current events. Listeners can also hear him explain to students how to pronounce “Yoknapatawpha,” the setting for his numerous works, including “The Sound and the Fury,” ‘’As I Lay Dying,” and “Absalom, Absalom!”

Faulkner spent 1957 and 1958 as the school’s first writer-in-residence, giving lectures and readings and chatting with students and members of the community. Two professors at the Charlottesville school recorded his talks on reel-to-reel tapes, and after a 15-year effort led by English professor Stephen Railton, the result is now online.

Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 and his first Pulitzer Prize in 1955 thrust the shy and largely reclusive writer into the public eye. The university recordings show that Faulkner takes pleasure in reaching a wider audience, Railton said Friday.

“I think he’s come to see that the artist needs to be in contact with the larger public,” he said. “It’s good for the art and good for the public.”

“Faulkner at Virginia: An Audio Archive” contains about 28 hours of the author’s speeches, readings of his works and his answers to more than 1,400 questions. All of the audio is transcribed and presented in small segments that are searchable by keyword, and users are able to bookmark specific clips.

While Faulkner is gracious and candid in answering audience questions, he’s sometimes unwilling to explicitly define the themes and ideas readers discovered in his books.

“I didn’t know about all these things and so I’m quite interested to hear that they were in there,” he tells one student. “They must’ve been in there for people to find them.”

Faulkner didn’t want to come between his writing and the readers; he wants them to interpret stories on their own, Railton said.

He also discusses other writers’ works, expressing admiration for Ernest Hemingway and telling students that he sympathizes with the alienation felt by Holden Caufield, the narrator of J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye.” Of Tennessee Williams, he says “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” focused on the wrong characters: “The story was the old man’s story,” he said. “I think that the anguishes of children ain’t worth three acts.”

A talk at Virginia’s Department of Psychiatry in May 1958 reflects Faulkner’s concern with the prevalence of materialism and what he called “the economy of waste.”

“We clutter the earth up with the automobiles and washing machines we turned in in order to buy a new one, and that may create jobs, and maybe the scientists will invent some way to vaporize all these things,” he said.

Jay Watson, an English professor at the University of Mississippi and a Faulkner scholar, said abridged transcripts of Faulkner’s time in Charlottesville have long been available, but hearing him speak and interact with the audience paints a fuller picture of the early civil rights era.

“Someone asked him about the Supreme Court decision — no one has to ask which one,” Watson said of the landmark 1954 Brown v.

Board of Education desegregation case. “You’re in a room of educated and entitled white southerners in the audience, and someone has brought up an uncomfortable subject. It’s a revealing interview.”

Advances in technology have made it possible to give more depth to American literature, said Railton, who also has compiled digital collections of author Mark Twain and the role of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.

Railton and Watson both think that hearing Faulkner will lead people back to reading Faulkner.

“This is where I want people to end up, lost in Faulkner’s fiction,” Railton said. “When they read the books, it’ll mean more.”

WEEKEND AT THE MOVIES

SALT CAN KILL Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a CIA agent who seems like she has a good thing going for her.

But during an interrogation with a Russian defector about “Day X,” an operation designed to kill the Russian president that will somehow lead to the destruction of the United States, the defector accuses Salt of being a Soviet sleeper spy and things begin to go awry.

Salt does everything she can to exit the premises to make sure her husband hasn’t been killed in part of the conspiracy. This, of course, turns into a large fight scene, which reveals the truth of the burning question: Who is Evelyn Salt?

Directed by Phillp Noyce, the spy thriller is an action-packed story with a few twists and turns along the way, but is it worth the ticket price and a hourand-a-half of your life?

In many ways the film was a breath of fresh air for action movies but at the same time there were several major deterrents that kept it from being all it could be.

The film’s largest fail was its uncanny resemblance to the entire “Bourne” trilogy. The first thirty minutes is spent trying to really understand who the character is and how did got there to begin with.

It’s almost like the movie creators couldn’t think of a way to start it, so they “borrowed” a little bit of the “Bourne” storyline, just to get the ball rolling.

But in the film’s defense, once the ball got rolling there were several plot twists that kept the viewer thinking and

wondering how they didn’t catch onto them sooner.

The overall plot, though revealed in the first 20 minutes, was very wellstructured and great in timing the release of pivotal information. Plus it did not drag out scenes that would have otherwise lost moviegoers’ attention.

Much like Jason Bourne, Salt is highly trained in killing and doesn’t mind doing so to get where she needs to go. The body count of the film rivaled that of a World War II film, as Jolie’s character didn’t hesitate to put someone under.

The killing sprees were so high in volume that it was almost like the stunt coordinator asked Jolie, “How many people do you want to kill today?” every morning when she came into work.

But Jolie’s performance was as good as it could have been for the film. From the opening scene of her being beaten in her skivvies to the final scene I just can’t reveal, she was a convincing character.

“Salt” was a solid performance, though at times it seemed the director pushed the character a bit too much.

Several of the fight scenes took the human capabilities a few inches too far, such as jumping from moving 18-wheelers on the highway or being slammed against walls repeatedly, but still carrying on a winning fight.

While it wasn’t unrealistic like “ATeam”, the action sequences were intense enough to keep you engaged in the fight.

“Salt”, while not nearly as memorable as any of the “Bourne” films, is still a summer flick that can fill a gap for some of those boring summer hours.

COTTON LEAVES

BY ERIC BESSON Sports Editor

Raymond Cotton has decided to leave the Ole Miss football team, head coach Houston Nutt announced Saturday through a press release.

The redshirt freshman was listed No. 2 on the post-spring quarterback depth chart behind sophomore Nathan Stanley.

“Raymond has decided to leave the university, and we wish him nothing but the best,” Nutt said.

The Fort Meade, Md. native went 5-of-7 passing for 178 yards and two touchdowns in the spring game.

Cotton was a member of the Rebels’ 2009 signing class, which was ranked No. 17 and No. 18 by Scout.com and Rivals.com, respectively, and was ranked a four-star prospect by both recruiting services.

“As a former quarterback my-

self, you know, as a freshman, sometimes they get what I call ‘freshmanitis,’ where they feel like the walls are caving in on them, I should be doing this, doing that,” Nutt said Friday at SEC media days.

“The bottom line is, he’s just been there a very, very short time,” he said. “You’re a freshman now. You have a chance to compete for a job. So there’s no need to make one of these rash, bad decisions.“ Cotton joins wide receiver Patrick Patterson, defensive lineman Craig Drummond and safety Jamar Hornsby as highly touted players from the 2009 class who are no longer with the team.

Safety Darius Barksdale, who was arrested for driving under the influence in 2009, is another 4-star prospect from the

’09 class who has yet to play a down for the Rebels.

Cotton was the No. 9-ranked player in Maryland as a senior after he passed for 2,243 yards and 24 touchdowns. He rushed for 668 yards and nine touchdowns.

His departure leaves the Reb-

els with Stanley and junior college transfer Randall Mackey as the only two quarterbacks on scholarship.

Stanley was Jevan Snead’s backup in 2009 and completed 11-of-23 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Mackey was selected as a first team All-American by the NJCAA in 2009. Originally from Bastrop, La., the 6-feet, 190-pound quarterback passed for 3,122 yards and 32 touchdowns as a sophomore at East Mississippi Community College.

REBELS ANSWER QUESTIONS AT SEC MEDIA DAYS

Southeastern Conference Media Days serve as an annual reminder that college football season is approaching.

While coaches standing in front of a podium are a far cry from kickoff on a Saturday afternoon, the notion that coaches are once again answering questions whets the appetite of college football fans.

Ole Miss football coach Houston Nutt was joined by defensive linemen Jerrell Powe and Kentrell Lockett and offensive tackle Bradley Sowell at the annual event Friday.

Nutt was upbeat from opening bell and expressed excitement for the direction of the program.

“We’re excited about our pro-

gram,” Nutt said. “Last two years, to win the Cotton Bowl, to be Cotton Bowl champions, finish in the old stadium and go into Jerry Jones’ new stadium, that AT&T Cotton Bowl was something very special for our players.”

Another annual occurrence at the SEC Media Days is the scribes’ prognostication for the upcoming season. When the votes were tallied, it was made known that the Rebels are picked to finish last in the SEC West.

“I understand somebody told us y’all picked us last,” Nutt said.

“Thank you. That’s all right. It’s good. It really doesn’t matter.”

Lockett echoed his coach’s sentiments and disregarded the negative expectations.

“People are going to say we’re

not going to be as good because we don’t have the Dexter McClusters and the John Jerrys,” Lockett said. “I mean, everyone recruits, and we got a recruiting class too. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be as good as we were last year. Just because we’re young doesn’t mean anything.”

The general consensus among Ole Miss fans is that the team will have to rely on a stout defense to make up for a young offense headed by a first-time starter at quarterback in Nathan Stanley.

Lockett said the defense does not feel the pressure of having to carry the team because it is not warranted.

“There is no pressure; the ball game is won with eleven on the defense and eleven on the offense,” he said. “It just so happens that the majority of the eleven on the defense has more players that have been there before.

“We lost some big name guys on defense and on offense but when it all comes down to it, we need the offense to put up points just as much as we need the defense to stop the other team.”

Media Days also offer the chance for reporters to ask questions that get them scolded during the regular season. The coaches are mostly upbeat in July, before they have had the chance to win and lose games.

Nutt was asked about the University of Mississippi constantly beginning referred to as “that school up north” by Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen.

“I don’t know,” he said, smiling. “Somebody keeps telling me about that. I don’t know too much about that.”
