Universities ban Twitter, Facebook in trial period

BY BLAIR JACKSON The Daily Mississippian

The Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pennsylvania is a small private school that attracted big public attention last week when it banned all online social media including Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and AOL for an entire week.

The purpose of the ban, according to the university, was to make students see what life would be like without social media. The university also wanted to spark public interest in the issue.

Eric Darr, Harrisburg University Provost, said in an interview with NPR that he is not anti-technology, he just believes today’s college students take the role of social media in their life for granted. The social media blackout was simply an experiment. Darr called it an “academic exercise.”

With Harrisburg’s experiment arises questions of whether other universities should also try a week-long online social media ban. It makes one wonder what

the effectiveness of such a ban would be at the University of Mississippi. When asked about this issue, Ole Miss students expressed mixed emotions.

“I definitely wouldn’t like it,” said Xavier Hunter, sophomore from Columbus. Hunter said that social networking is a way he keeps up with friends and something he looks forward to when finished with homework.

“When and how much I use Facebook is none of the University’s business,” Hunter said.

Robin Ann Riggle, a freshman from Orlando, echoed Hunter.

“As a college student, you should be in charge of your own time,” Riggle said.

Other students said they understood the thought behind the ban.

Jay Patterson, a freshman from Jackson, Tenn., said, “I don’t use networks such as Facebook very often, but I definitely see how it gets in the way of studying.” Patterson also said that it is more a self discipline problem See FACEBOOK, PAGE 4

BY CAIN MADDEN The Daily Mississippian

TEA Party Chairperson Kay Cobb, who co-founded the group with Garrett over a lunch meeting, said the group’s base goal is informing the voting public.

“This November, we have nine different people running for judge positions,” Cobb said. “In my opinion, judgeships are often what we are the most uniformed on.”

Because of that, the group is organizing a judges forum in October where all nine judges will be present, so people will have more to go on than just a

Oxford Lawyer Ray Garrett wants Washington to represent the working class people.

Fearing the country is heading in an unsustainable direction, Garrett became a cofounder of the Oxford TEA Party to make a difference for his children.

“I am not naive enough to think the government cares what Ray Garrett says,” Garrett said at last night’s TEA Party meeting. “But you can bet they do care what 100 people say.”

I’m leaving my mark

BY EMILY CEGIELSKI Columnist

T H E

I am the world’s greatest lover.

Maybe.

Actually, I heard someone start a speech with that line once. It was an amazing speech. The guy captivated me from the very beginning. You don’t tune out someone who claims to be the best ever in bed.

In fact, if I am going to be completely honest, I did not see this speech in person. In high school, my speech and debate coach showed us some oratories (ten-minute speeches) that had placed at the big national competition. This was one of them from a while back.

Three years later, I could not tell you the name of the boy if my life depended on it. I could not even tell you what the rest of his speech was about.

All I know is he claimed to be the modern day Don Juan, and that image stuck with me.

Occasionally things are so attention-grabbing that we will never forget them. Sometimes an image in a movie or on the news sears our brains, but other times a simple

phrase or turn of words can captivate us in ways we would never expect.

This makes me wonder– what is it that makes us tune certain things out, while others stay with us for years?

In ninth grade world history, I learned that the capital of American Samoa was Pago Pago. That’s one of maybe three things I can tell you I learned during my freshman year of high school.

Everything else went in one ear and out the other.

After each semester of college, about five tons of information gets dumped from our minds never to be found again.

Very few things stick permanently, but when they do, it is quite incredible. I hope to one day leave something in your mind.

Whether you are completely pissed off at an opinion I have or if you simply remember that one column you read once that started as “I am the world’s greatest lover,” I want to make an impression.

Every day professors talk, and we don’t remember. You read books, and you don’t re-

SPEAKING OF THAT: We need to find our Mojo in the stands, too

BY TAYLOR MCGRAW Columnist

Sunburned and sick to my stomach from a day of fried food and Coke, I slumped and sneezed in a folding chair amid a dusty pall kicked up by feet shuffling along the blue fire lane in the Grove on Saturday.

I had witnessed losses to Vanderbilt before.

I had braved extreme heat, stinging rain and bitter cold to see the Rebs play and lose.

I sat loyally through the Coach O years.

But I can honestly say Saturday’s loss was the lowest of lows.

In a game in which the Rebs crucially needed to prove to fans (who are paying more than ever for tickets) that hope still remains, we played with the emotional vigor of Mr. Potato Head.

We looked like the Toon Squad playing the Monstars before Bugs Bunny passed around “Michael’s Secret Stuff.”

We looked like the Mud Dogs before Bobby Bouchet showed up.

We looked like Vanderbilt usually looks.

Sure, I got mad about the dropped passes and the missed tackles and the recurring inability to

gain a yard – one yard! – on back-to-back plays.

But, what most perturbed me about Saturday was the fact that I saw nary a sign of unified spirit from Ole Miss fans besides the opening Hotty Toddy.

The 11:21 kick-off time, the high-90s temperature and the sparsely populated North End Zone did not help the gameday atmosphere, but it went beyond that.

Around the time the Jumbotron went dim in the fourth quarter (which was quite analogous to our season), we lacked all cohesion on the field and in the stands.

Down two touchdowns with around seven minutes to play, we should have been on our feet yelling, pleading our team for a comeback.

Instead, many fans left.

Others sat and fiddled around on their iPhones. Some booed the coaches as precious seconds melted off the clock.

I held my hands on my head and muttered, “This is unbelievable.”

Still others flipped off the few hundred cheer-

ing Vandy fans.

We were as disorganized as the players.

If we were going to flip off the Vandy fans (which I am not condoning), we should have at least done it together.

I yearned for some sort of call to action – from last year’s halftime microphone guy, the towelwaving, head-bobbing former drummer or even from Hotty Toddy Man. None came.

After we failed to convert the 4th-and-1 from midfield, I dropped my pom-pom to the ground and headed for the exit as I have done many a time over the years.

Nonetheless, this loss felt different. Usually I get angry and unresponsive or feel downright cheated. Saturday I was absent of all emotion and completely detached.

Hopefully before next Saturday we can collectively find some of that “Secret Stuff ” or get a boost from an unassuming waterboy-- anything to give us all a little Mojo.

But maybe, just maybe, what we really need is a mascot.

Letter to the Editor I would like to respond to the article “Meet the Dean.”

I have worked many events with him and its very easy to realize how sincere he is about having the students best interest in mind at all times.

He speaks to freshmen at orientation about Ole Miss policy, especially the new alcohol policy. His main objective is to help each student have a great experience at Ole Miss and most of

all get a degree. He makes himself available any time they need his help at all hours of the night.

He works closely with our outstanding counseling center to make sure they get things right.

He lives his job and cares about every student at this university. Can you imagine how many lives he has changed in his long tenure here?

If you have never met him, I encourage you to make a point of stopping by his office. You’ll be impressed with his massive knowledge of Ole

Miss and what a credit he is to this university.

In closing, Sparky, you are my choice for mascot. That way generations to come will get to know the countless contributions you have made here. Thanks for all you do.

VIOLENCE PREVENTION OFFICE LAUNCHES GREEN DOT PROGRAM

BY KIRBY BARKLEY The Daily Mississippian

The University’s newly formed Violence Prevention Office has launched a new campaign called Green Dot. “Green Dot is a bystander intervention program,” Violence Prevention Coordinator Linda Abbott said. “We are informing and educating students about when they see potential violence; how it is possible for them to intervene.”

Abbott spread the word about the new Green Dot strategy to freshmen students by visiting classes and orientations. She spoke to all sections of the university’s EDHE 105 course and every orientation session over the summer.

“We are basically informing our students about how they can change the culture of violence on their campus by recognizing potential violence with what we call a red dot and replacing it with a green dot, which is any sort of action or behavior that counters violence,” Abbot said.

The Violence Prevention Office was created in January 2010 after the University received a grant of more than $300,000 from the Department of Justice Office on Violence against Women.

“We want everyone on campus to know that we have these policies in place, so that if they find themselves as a victim of violence, we want them to know that the university has policies in place to help them, and we also wanted everyone to know about the Violence Prevention Office because we are still a pretty new office,” Abbott said.

“We get referrals from UPD, from counseling, sometimes even from faculty, but we can’t get referrals if no one knows we are here.”

The Violence Prevention Office works closely with the University Police Department as well as the

Student Conduct Office.

“It is my job to assess what their needs are and then try to help them get whatever it is they need,” Abbott said. “It might be dealing with the Student Conduct Office, it might be a reference to counseling, it might be working with their professors or deans if it is affecting their academic career or it could be working with law enforcement: Whatever they need to help them through the process.”

Melinda Pullen Carlson is Associate Dean of Students for the Student Conduct Office.

“Our office works closely with the Office of Violence Prevention when working with alleged victims of sexual assault and relationship violence as well as working with the office to train the University Judicial Council on topics such as working with victims of sexual assault in conduct hearings,” Carlson said.

According to Carlson, a Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Task Force was brought together to discuss prevention, education, policy development, assessment, intervention and treatment.

The task force decided to add the new policies to the M-Book and online policy directory by reviewing policies of other institutions.

“Our services are confidential, so if someone does want to come in to speak to us, they can do so and know that it is going to be confidential,” Abbott said. “I think that is important when we are talking about victims to have that safety.”

Abbot also said that awareness is key.

“Part of our goal is to make sure everybody knows we are here,” Abbott said.

Students can learn more about the Violence Prevention Office and the Green Dot strategy by visiting the office’s website at http://violenceprevention.olemiss.edu.

than anything else. USA Today reported that in the United States, 92% of students use Facebook and spend an average of 147 minutes on it each week.

With such a large number of users, it is apparent that social networking sites such as Facebook are a big part of students’ lives and therefore take up a lot of their time.

The question is whether the time consumed in social networking is hurting the student.

Brandon Dennis, a senior from Gulfport, says that because he lives off campus, the ban wouldn’t affect him. Dennis said that he and others living off

campus would still use social networking, just not at the auniversity.

Ole Miss junior Cary Robins from Hattiesburg, supported the claim that students spend too much time on Facebook and Twitter, but said he also realizes the positive aspects of social networking.

“Social networking is a way to keep in touch with friends throughout the day. Also, many campus organizations use online social networking to communicate with students,” Robbins said.

Students at the Harrisburg University of Science and Technology are now more aware of the affect that social networking has on their lives.

For some, because they had to live with the ban for an entire week, and for others, because they had to find ways around it.

The group was created by Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian relief and evangelism organization.

There are currently 12 other countries that collect shoeboxes and send them to children in over 100 countries.

The shoeboxes go to churches in those countries and they distribute the boxes to the communities.

During the week of November 15-19, there will be a collection table set up in the Union to allow individuals to drop off their shoeboxes.

The national collection week is November 15-22.

To allow groups a drop off point to avoid carrying multiple boxes into the Union, organizers will establish an Oxford collection center at a later date.

Although Christmas is months away, local organizers are preparing for Operation Christmas Child.

Mae Stone, local organizer since 2001, has started the work to make collections for this year.

Donors are encouraged to fill shoeboxes with toys, letters, pictures, candies and other treats to be delivered to underprivileged children around the world.

“Lots of people write letters and include pictures in the shoeboxes, and some people have received pictures and letters from the children,” Stone said.

There is a $7 donation requested with each box to alleviate shipping costs for the foundation.

The kickoff event was last night at Calvary Baptist Church.

Organizers showed “Journey of a Shoebox,” a slideshow that highlights the process of what happens once the shoeboxes are filled and shipped. Stone said they show the slideshow because a lot of people bring their shoeboxes to the drop-off and never know what happens to it afterwards.

They also filled some shoeboxes at the event to show people how they can have a shoeboxfilling party, since churches and organizations often want to fill multiple boxes.

Last year in Oxford, the local group collected 3,507 boxes.

This year they set a goal of 4,000 boxes.

Stone said she didn’t have the total for what the University did last year, but said she would love to see 1,000 boxes come from it this year.

In the coming weeks, Stone and her assistants will meet with different university groups

like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Campus Crusade, as well as fraternities and sororities to inform them on how to become involved.

Other sporting groups, such as the women’s volleyball and basketball teams, have committed to participating this year.

Stone said that they will not restrict any willing group from participating.

Stone said she would love to see every student at Ole Miss fill a shoebox.

“It would be an awful thing for students to miss the opportunity, because we are blessed with so much and there are so many children around the world who have never even received a gift or anything,” Stone said. “Even the smallest little thing that you could put into a shoebox could impact the lives of these children.”

Operation Christmas Child asks individuals to fill shoe-

The Board of Aldermen approved the purchase of two new vehicles for the Metro Narcotics Unit (MNU) of Oxford.

The narcotics unit utilizes seized vehicles for transportation. However, many are in need of major repairs.

Due to maintenance issues with the confiscated vehicles, much of the unit’s budget has gone to vehicle repair.

Captain Keith Davis said he believes purchasing two new vehicles will alleviate their current spending situation.

“Some of the people don’t take care of their cars and we end up having to fix them,” Davis said.

Agents for the narcotics unit do not operate on the same eight to-12 hour a day schedule as many other law enforcement agents. Instead, they are on call one week out of the month.

This means the agents don’t leave the station. They leave from wherever they are when

they receive a drug related call. A safe and reliable means of transportation is essential to narcotic agents doing their job.

The funding for the two vehicles will come from the metro narcotics unit’s budget, reaching the amount of approximately $60,000.

Davis would not disclose the type of vehicles they will purchase due to the nature of violators, but said the vehicles they will purchase will appropriately meet the unit’s needs.

The MNU unit handles cases throughout Oxford and the Ole Miss campus. The University police department usually handles cases on campus that stay at or below the misdemeanor range for illegal drugs, but the narcotics unit of Oxford handles any drug related incidents involving a felony amount of illegal drugs.

“Our patrol isn’t confined to one area. Drugs don’t discriminate,” Davis said. “We patrol ‘hot spots,’ ‘complaint spots’, as well as ‘call-ins.’”

Cobb said the group declined membership with the Mississippi TEA Party in order to keep the group local.

“We will work with them, but we wanted locals to make local decisions,” Cobb said. “We don’t want someone from far away telling us what to do.”

The other benefit to this, Cobb said, is that they would be more than noisemakers.

“We are not just here to make a bunch of noise — we want to make a difference,” Cobb said.

“We are here to put feet on the ground.”

Garrett said if we don’t get out there now, he is afraid for what will happen during his children’s lifetime.

“My 3-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl are where my sun rises and sets,” Garrett said.

“It was frightening to sit down and try to figure out where we would be 20 to 30 years down the road.”

Garrett said the country currently has unsustainable rising debt, mounting deficits and insane spending.

“The government is elected to do a job, and if they are not doing that job, we should revoke their privileges as an elected official,” Garrett said. “And being elected is a privilege because we are watching, and we are not stupid. We know bologna when we see it, and if it is bologna — we need to revoke them.”

Northwest Mississippi Community College Student Zach Hampton said it was a good

meeting.

“I originally did not want to come, but I was glad I did,” Hampton said. “It was nice to see a group of people on the same page.”

Hampton, who is planning to go into the medical field, said he was worried about the health care package.

“It makes me nervous about going into medicine,” Hampton said. “You know, I still want to get paid.”

While they lean toward Conservative ideals, Garrett made it clear that he was not just dissatisfied with just the Democratic Party.

“I bark at both parties,” Garrett said. “If the political fringe is more important than the working class people, then they need to be revoked. I don’t care if they are Republican or Democrat.”

Garrett said another important aspect of the group was to restore the countries values.

“And by values, I mean JudeoChristian values,” Garrett said.

“Our forebears put those values in our constitution and helped us found a country from the wilderness. These values are what make us so great.”

Oxford Attorney Reed Martz said he came to the meeting so he could play his part in sending Washington a message.

“Both parties need to understand that we are tired of their irresponsible ways and their disregard for the constitution,” Martz said. “It is all about getting Washington’s attention.”

Meet DJ Mario: The Man Behind the Turntables

BY DAVID HOPPER The Daily Mississippian

It’s Saturday night at the Library Bar and Grill.

In the corner of the sprawling bar’s patio area, elevated above the crowd stands a man behind two turntables and a laptop. Built like a portly defensive lineman, he’s wearing a black oversized Polo shirt, khaki cargo shorts and black Nike shoes.

Headphones grip his sweaty bald dome. He gazes into the computer screen and fiddles with the knobs on the mixing board.

“Somebody dim the lights,” he says into the microphone. “Now we’re in business.”

Mario Herron, aka DJ Mario, the Library’s longtime DJ, has begun his set.

The mostly-student crowd is packed in shoulder-to-shoulder.

Many sport alcohol-induced smiles and glassy eyes, their skin sunburned from a day of tailgating in the Grove.

Dax Riggs comes to Proud Larry’s tonight

BY MIRIAM TAYLOR The Daily Mississippian

Not too much comes out of Houma, La., a town with a population just under 33,000––not much, that is, except for spicy food, Cajun accents and Dax Riggs.

The 36-year-old formed his first band in his late teens under the dubious name Corruption.

From there, the Louisianan musician went on to from multiple other bands, ranging from the heavy metal Acid Bath, to the less aggressive Agents of Oblivion, to the two man project, Deadboy and the Elephantman which in-

cluded Dax and his drummer, Tessie Brunet.

After his seven year stint with Deadboy and the Elephantman which included two albums (If This is Hell, Then I’m Lucky and We Are Night Sky) and several festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits, the band members parted ways.

In 2007 Riggs became the official moniker of all following records and performances.

Riggs released his first solo album in August, 2007, We sing of Only Blood or Love under Oxford’s own Fat Possum Records, which

DJ MARIO,

continued from page 8

Deadboy and the Elephantman had originally signed with.

This past August, his second album, Say Goodnight to the World, was released garnering immediate attention from the music world, even gaining Riggs another stint at ACL. While his music has slowly drifted from the heavy to an almost mellow sound in comparison to his origins, Riggs’ lyrics still contain the edge and soul that has been consistent to his name throughout his career.

Pulling influence from musicians of all caliber, Riggs includes Iron

Maiden, the Kinks, Iggy Pop and even David Bowie in his list of top inspirations.

Called everything from swamp rock to sludge to blues grunge, Riggs said in an interview at ACL, “[he has] only touched the surface of what we [the band] can do.”

Riggs is bringing his mix of blues, rock and metal to the indie-enthralled Oxford tonight at 8 p.m. at Proud Larry’s.

He comes to offer his darker, more somber tunes to a town that always welcomes a change from the stereotypical country flair of Mississippi.

He originally called himself DJ Fat Mack, a name he had had since he first started dee-jaying at age 15, but students insisted on calling him DJ Mario.

Herron usually dee-jays three nights a week at the Library.

When asked what is his favorite part about a gig, Herron said “seeing the crowd dance and have a good time” is first.

Herron’s services aren’t limited to the Library, though. He said he’ll perform anywhere.

“BIG or SMALL events” reads his business card. He does wedding receptions, pool parties, fundraisers and car shows. Charity functions are his favorite.

“I love dealing with the kids and giving back to the kids,” he said.

The music he plays isn’t confined to the hip-hop genre.

“I play it all,” he said. “I have about 12,000 songs.”

On certain Sundays he plays blues music for a group of seniors. True to his Delta roots, Herron is a blues

man who plays guitar and would rather listen to B.B. King and Muddy Waters than 50 Cent or Lil Wayne.

On top of being Oxford’s premier DJ, Herron also holds down a fulltime job.

For the past 15 years, he has worked at Oxford’s North Mississippi Regional Center, a care facility for the mentally disabled.

As a direct care supervisor, he works directly with patients of all ages, making sure they follow their meal and school schedule, among other tasks. Herron said at first he didn’t know what he was getting in to, but it has turned out to be a fun and rewarding career.

Chasity Wilburn is a personnel technician who has worked with Herron for 11 years.

“He’s great with the clients,” Wilburn said. “He’s outgoing, and he never says a cross word about anyone. He rarely misses work.”

When he’s not working, he likes to spend time with his daughters Do-

This is no black-shirted Johnny Cash with a metal guitar, but a band with a real soul at the lead, who has no fear in singing lyrics such as “Gonna lay with a ghost by my side/ let the birds take to the sky/ Gonna try and drown or drink/ the river dry,” in a time where too many kids want to call Paramore dark.

“I believe in truth,” Riggs said in his interview with ACL. “And I believe in magic. I believe that what you want yourself to be you can be if you believe it. And whatever you want to happen can happen.”

minique, 10, Madisyn, 9, and his four-month old son Mario Jr. “He’s the next DJ Mario,” he said with a laugh.

Contrary to popular belief, Herron’s interests extend beyond the turn-table. As a hobby, he collects cars (he owns nine), rides his motorcycle and goes out to eat with friends and family. Red Lobster and The Little Dooey, Oxford’s newest barbeque restaurant, are two of his favorites.

Nonetheless, his night life is serving Oxonians with a beat they can dance to.

As the night wore on, the crowd thinned some and inhibitions continued to loosen.

Tipsy guys and girls made their way up the spiral metal stairs to the DJ platform to request a song. Herron greeted them with a smile and a handshake then searched for the song on his laptop.

Herron used to end his set with “From Dixie with Love,” but has phased it out since the Ole Miss band was barred from playing it last fall. He now plays Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll Part 2,” aka “The Hey Song,” 15 minutes before closing with the spirited Hotty Toddy chant.

“Good night ya’ll. Ya’ll have a safe drive home,” Herron said as he closed out the evening.

Then came the dreaded orders from the bouncers: “Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Time to go. Finish your drinks.”

The crowd herded to the doors.

Herron packed his $3,000 worth of equipment in a large metallic case and made his way down the stairs.

When asked what separates him from other DJs, Herron said, after a long pause, “I don’t like to brag about how good I am at something.

It’s God’s gift that I’m able to do this.”

Herron did, however, divulge a few characteristics vital to any DJ. “You have to have a good voice, be able to get people’s attention and stay positive even when you might get frustrated.”

His advice for aspiring DJs: “You got to have a heart for music and a heart for people. You got to be a people person.”

“It’s a blessing,” Herron said of being a DJ. “I love it.”

‘Dash For Hash’ Benefits

UNDERCLASSMAN D.T. SHACKELFORD EMERGING AS LEADER

Former UM Baseball Player

BY BENNETT HIPP

BY CAIN MADDEN The Daily Mississippian

REBEL RADIO —92.1 fm —

The DM Online .COM

One look at the Ole Miss defensive depth chart reveals a roster littered with juniors and seniors that have become team leaders during their time in Oxford.

However, as the Rebels head into Saturday’s game against Fresno State, the team is still in need of a leader to bring the unit together. The names always mentioned on defense are Jerrell Powe, Kentrell Lockett, Johnny Brown and Ted Laurent, but it may be sophomore D.T. Shackelford who is up to the task.

“We’ve got to come together, we got to come together and have confidence in what we do and buy into the scheme,” Shackelford said. “It’s been working for three years man, you’ve seen the back to back Cotton Bowl

wins.”

Shackelford, a highly recruited player from Decatur, Ala., came in last season as a true freshman and played in eleven games. He recorded 20 tackles and an interception return for a touchdown.

He has continued his great play this season, but is concerned that the Ole Miss defense, and team in general, seem to get down whenever they begin to trail in a game.

“Not more of when we up, but when we down. When something bad happens, adversity is going to strike,” Shackelford said.

“That’s in life, that’s in football.

We’ve got to find a way to come back at it, I feel like right now we aren’t throwing that punch after we get punched,” Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt and defensive coordinator Ty-

rone Nix agreed that missed assignments really hurt the Rebels’ chances against Vanderbilt, and Shackelford was quick to agree with that assessment.

“You can always track something bad happening to an assignment, a missed assignment,” Shackelford said. “Coach Nix always says no MA’s today, no MA’s (missed assignments) and bam, one missed assignment and they get an 80-yard run.”

Along with the 80-yard run given up to Vanderbilt running back Warren Norman, the other big play by the Commodores was a 35-yard scramble for a touchdown by quarterback Larry Smith. “(On the 35-yard run) someone missed their gap man, just missed their gap,” Shackelford See SHACKELFORD, PAGE 12

Senior hospitality management major Ella Gentry saw a fellow student in need and organized a Taylor Hashman fundraiser at Swayze Field.

Gentry organized a 5K run/walk for Hashman, a former Ole Miss baseball player who was seriously injured after an altercation in August. The run/walk is scheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 9.

Gentry said an extensive ICU stay coupled with rehab has racked up quite a medical bill, which has put a burden on the Hashman family.

“His dad was out of work and had to go back and forth from Florida to Memphis while Taylor was in ICU,” Gentry said. “His dad is still out of work, and Taylor is going through rehabilitation dealing with his brain.”

Gentry, a cross country and track athlete, said she hopes people come out and support Hashman.

“He was a big part of the school, and I hope people will sign up to support Taylor and his family,” Gentry said. “It will not only help him financially, but it will also help his spirits.”

Hashman will not be present due to conflicts with his rehab, Gentry said.

“I have talked to him, and he is aware it is going on,” said Gentry, who grew up in Florida, near Hashman. “He is really grateful that it is happening.”

Even though Hashman won’t be there, Gentry said the baseball team, along with other student athletes would come out in support of Hashman.

“They will be on hand and available to sign autographs for children,” Gentry said.

Gentry said Hashman, who is back in his hometown of Naples,

Fla., is getting better.

“He is hoping to take classes this spring and finish up his degree,” Gentry said. “I know he wants to make a couple of the football games as well. He is really anxious to get back to Oxford and his friends.”

The entry fee for the fundraiser is $20.

For more information, to sign up or to sponsor the event, contact Gentry at 941-780-1503.

Hashman was injured after an argument in front of his apartment.

After being struck by a blow to the face, he fell and hit his head on the ground.

Hashman was unconscious when police arrived. He was released from the Memphis-based hospital in late August.

SOCCER’S DYLAN JORDAN OFFENSIVE FORCE FOR REBELS

BY AUSTIN MILLER The Daily Mississippian

AUSTIN MCAFEE | The Daily Mississippian

Midfielder Dylan Jordan moves the ball upfield during a 3-0 win on Friday night over Southern Miss. Jordan scored three goals in two games over the weekend.

Last year, as the second attacking option to now-graduated senior Hannah Weatherly, junior Dylan Jordan played a vital role in an Ole Miss offense that ranked second in the Southeastern Conference and 31st in the nation. Jordan finished second on the team with six goals and five assists.

This year, Jordan has found a knack for constantly getting to the ball and scoring key goals to lead the Rebel offense. After a three-goal performance this past weekend against Southern Miss and TCU, she was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week.

“It’s just a hunger,” Jordan said. “It’s not really anything I do particularly that separates me skill-wise. It’s just a will to score goals. And that’s the way it is with any forward or with any team’s top goal-scorer.”

She also has an incredible work rate and intensity that sets her apart from most players.

Jordan has played more minutes than any other forward or midfielder on the team and has covered a lot of ground from her attacking midfield position. In last year’s 3-2 double-overtime win over Auburn, she suffered a concussion, but missed only nine minutes of the game.

“Her (work rate) is unbelievable,” coach Matt Mott said. “Her ability to play at a high level for 90 minutes every game out is really a credit to her mentality, her fitness level, and her intensity. She has an intensity that I’ve never really seen in a player. She goes 100 percent of the time, all the time, and that’s really enjoyable to coach.”

She came into the Ole Miss program last year as transfer-sophomore from SMU, but still made her mark on the team. After scoring the

game-winning goal against Alabama in the regular season finale and netting another goal in the rivalry game with Mississippi State, she was named to Top Drawer Soccer’s national team of the week.

“Last year, I came in as a transfer (from SMU) and it was a lot like coming in as a freshman because everything was different at a different school,” Jordan said. “Hannah (Weatherly) and Dee (Johnson) definitely gave you direction on the field, but they also gave you direction off the field.”

Now, Dylan is the veteran upperclassman, organizing and orchestrating freshmen Erin Emerson and Mandy McCalla in the offensive attack.

Her coach calls her a general on the field and her teammates recognized her leadership by voting her in as one of the team’s three captains. “(Her teammates) know she’s always there for them,” Mott said. “And that she’s going to work her tail off to do the best she can whenever she’s out on the field.”

Jordan leads the Rebels in scoring this year and has already tied her career high for goals in a season with six, including two game-winners.

She scored the lone goal in the Middle Tennessee State and TCU games and netted the gamewinner in the furious comeback victory over McNeese State.

In last Friday’s 3-0 win over rival Southern Miss, she tied her career high for points in a game with two goals and an assist.

“She’s always in and around the goal,” Mott said. “She plays from box to box. She helps us defend, and then she does a really good job of getting in on the attack. She’s scored some big goals for us this year, and look forward to her scoring a lot more.”

and make mistakes), this is the Southeastern Conference, it’s the best conference in America,” Shackelford said. “You do stuff like that and you’re asking to lose and get beat, and basically not by our words, but by our actions, we asked to get beat.”

As Fresno State looms ahead, Shackelford says it’s time to get back to the basics on defense if Ole Miss wants to be successful.

“You win it in practice, but you can win a lot of stuff in practice, but in the game you have to be very focused in,” Shackelford said. “This is my gap. I got to do what I got to do on this play. Not nobody else’s job, I got to do my job on every play.”
