A memorial service was held Thursday at Paris-Yates Chapel on the University of Mississippi’s campus to honor students, staff and faculty who have died this past academic year. The names of the deceased were read aloud and the bells at Paris Yates Chapel were rung
23 times to honor each individual. Afterwards, the University String Quartet played the Ole Miss Alma Mater. “When we lose a member of the Ole Miss family, we are touched individually and collectively in different ways,” Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Brandi Hephner LaBanc said. Former Daily Mississippian Editor-in-Chief Logan Kirkland read his piece, “Mourning the
loss of a friend I never knew.” “We are all a part of the Ole Miss family and when one of us dies, we all feel the repercussions of the loss,” Kirkland said. “My words here will never articulate the beauty of the lives we have lost, but I hope they make you understand that you do not mourn alone because losing a friend that you never had can and will change your life.” A list of those who were being
honored was read by University Staff Council President Sovent Taylor, Faculty Senate Chair Michael A. Barnett and Associated Student Body President Austin Powell. Gardenia flowers perfumed the air as visiting family members and friends placed them in remembrance. Ole Miss staff members remembered included Robert S. Forster, Donald H. O’Dell and Ronny J. Tackett, Robert B.
Albritton, Ward Charles Barnes, James Ronald Bartlett, Goberdham Bhagat, James P. Chambers, James Jerome Cooke, Thomas Ashley Crowe, Columbus Burwell Hopper, Robert Lawrence Jordan, Frances B. Maxey, John Willis McCauley, Henry Pace, James E. Shollenberger and Kenneth A. Stead, Jr. were the faculty commemorated
Typically, newly commissioned second officers have to wait a few months before leaving again for training experience in the branch they will serve. Graduates will enter a branch-specific leadership course which will determine whether they become infantrymen, cavalry, aviation or another type of officer. “Commissioning marks both the end of an incredibly challenging and eye-opening college experience and the beginning of a chapter that will allow us to take the lessons we’ve learned and use them in active-
ly changing lives and leading our soldiers in combat,” Cadet Harry Phillips said. Phillips, a Chattanooga native, will graduate with an English degree this Saturday. Afterwards, he will serve as an infantry officer in the National Guard while educating children through Teach for America after graduation. Once graduates assemble, they will take the oath of commission and swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” It is a significant moment
in their military careers and education, one that Phillips said civilian students may not grasp. “One thing many people do not understand is that the commissioners are not just joining the military but are being appointed as Army officers by the (President of the United States) due to his “special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities” of the new second lieutenants,” Cadet Buckley Dowdle said. An Olive Branch native, Dowdle will serve as an ordnance officer in the logistics
branch with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He will graduate with a degree in Accounting. “Many will be commissioning into the Mississippi Army National Guard, enduring the rigors of serving both their nation and their state while also excelling in civilian careers,” Dowdle said. “Others will serve in the active duty component of the Army, serving and deploying as full time soldiers.” Dowdle said lieutenants will serve as platoon leaders leading between 30 and 50 soldiers within a year of graduation.

Graduation can signify the beginning of a new job, internship or uncertainty for students. For a select few, however, it means taking the next step toward serving their country. More than 20 University of Mississippi ROTC cadets will receive their degree, commission and promotion to second lieutenant at 5 p.m. next Saturday at Fulton Chapel on campus.

Over the past semester, I’ve had the joy of working as the opinion editor here at The Daily Mississippian.

which say the opinion section is too liberal. I agree. It currently does not reflect the breadth of opinions on our campus. It leans heavily to the left, but that’s not my fault. Instead of complaining about the opinion section, I need you to submit conservative opinions. I published almost every formally written opinion column I received this semester. The very few conservative columns I received reflect the reality that people with conservative political and social beliefs don’t take an hour to write a column. I’ve been told that I promote propaganda and the opinion section is biased. Every single column is, in fact, biased. It’s the opinion section. Writers of the opinion section don’t report the news, we report how we feel about the news. At this point, I’m practically begging for a pro-

Unfortunately, instead of composing publishable columns, I get emails calling me a “libtard” and saying that I am destroying the campus. I’m not remotely insulted by these comments. Liberal isn’t an insult to me, no more than “woman” or “Southern.” It’s just part of who I am. To be a cliché, Kumbaya, liberal hippie nightmare, I’m going to quote Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Instead of sending emails and complaining on Yik Yak, perhaps it’s time to actually contribute to the newspaper.

As election season approaches, I hope someone steps up to support Trump and bash the Democratic nominee. I don’t doubt that liberal writers will step up to do the opposite. I don’t know why liberals and progressives write for The Daily Mississippian more than conservatives, but as my final goodbye to Ole Miss and the paper: please write columns instead of angry emails.

continued from page 1 at the event. The students honored were Bryce Berry, Andrew Fox, Anastasia Hirsch, Taina Laporte, Carli Sears and Alison Tuberville. “The Ole Miss family extends beyond those we are here but to their families as well,” Hephner LaBanc said. “We want to give [the families] the opportunity to [come] back and remind them we are remembering their loved ones.” Ty Alluschuski, assistant to the vice chancellor, was in charge of planning the ceremony. “The memorial ceremony is a great tradition on our campus, and certainly something that means a lot too many different people,” Alluschuski said. The University has held the memorial service on campus on the last Thursday of classes during the spring semester since 2008. The event was open to the campus community, family members and the general public. “We find, however, that the grief and sadness that accompanies our losses one day will give way to remembrance and appreciation of the life of that person whose presence blessed our lives,” Hephner LaBanc said.

Can I take your order? Rick Taylor, head of tourism efforts in Hattiesburg, announced that city residents will now be referred to as “Hattiesburgers.” The title was part of a contest sponsored by Visit Hattiesburg. Hattiesburger beat out 31 other possible names including Hub Citian. According to the Hattiesburg American, historical society members in Hattiesburg have issues with the new title. Historically, residents of the city have been called Hattiesburgans for over a hundred years, but Taylor is standing his ground for the new title. Can he get fries with that?

Our very own Oxford Police Department caught Jimmy Evans stealing from vending machines, and we aren’t talking a few dollars here and there. Evans allegedly stole around $20,000 in hard cash from vending machines around Oxford in a series of crimes dating back to September 2015. According to the Daily Journal, Evans is a retired Coca-Cola employee who kept his employee key for the machines and used it to his advantage. Evans was unlocking vending machines and taking cash out for himself. He turned himself in to OPD on Wednesday.

According to the Clarion Ledger, 22-year-old David Anthony Scott was charged with simple assault of a law enforcement officer this week. The unusual part? In true European football player Zinedine Zidane fashion (minus the soccer field), Scott head-butted an officer straight in the face. Scott faced other charges along with his violent outbreak disturbing the peace and possession of narcotics are also attached to his name. 29635

May is going to be good to you, Taurus. You’ve just spent a lot of time focused out of your mind on getting task after task done, and now you can finally sit back and let your creative juices flow. If you’ve made any big decisions lately, the stars indicate you should also take a breather on making any more, at least for a week or two. The stars also indicate that you will probably be kidnapped by pirates around the 18th, so remember to stay hydrated out there on the high seas.

You’ve been patient a long time now, Virgo, and the time has finally come for you to shine again. You’re incredibly attractive, smart, funny and just downright charming, and now everyone is going to know. You’ll shine this month, Virgo, as you enter into a new season of the year and of your life where you will truly be able to discover who you are. You’ll also find yourself reconnecting with someone over an old bond or relationship around the 29th that could last for the next couple months. Best of all, due to the moon’s gravitational influence on you from the 12th to the 17th, this month you’re going to be better than average at swimming and golf, and you’ll wash and fold your clothes in one sitting at least twice.

Lucky you, Scorpio. This month the cosmos tell me you are in for some very good luck. Your confidence should be through the roof, because you are going to have the best streak of good fortune you’ve had all year. Other people might be temporarily irked with you for happening upon such wondrous prosperity, but you’ve just got to boogie that hate away. In fact, Jupiter is looking fondly on you, and as the king of the planets, has destined you to rise to disco royalty this month. So get out your most funk-a-licious shoes, grab someone sweet and do whatever disco dance moves over to the nearest club to rise as the official Disco Champion of the Entire Universe.
Sagittarius, the Archer: November 22- December 21
This is a good month for you to take on a new goal, Sagittarius, and I have it on excellent cosmic authority you will be successful and fortunate in your endeavors. Seek and you shall find. Something very great and mysterious awaits you out there in the great big world, and Pluto, planet (yes, planet) of mystery, wants you to find it. You might discover a new hobby, career path or sea animal. You’re normally pretty level headed and like to think before you act, but around the 16th your energy will temporarily shift, liberating you just enough to walk a little on the wilder side of your personality, step out of your comfort zone and go exploring. Be careful when flying over the Adriatic Sea on the 20th and the 28th. Also you will be chased by clowns in all your dreams.

Fear not, for the planet of the confused and astounded, Uranus, has come to your rescue. Expect to see violently obvious universal signs guiding you in uncertain times this month.

Something doesn’t feel right, Aquarius, and once again your psychic abilities have not failed you. There is evil approaching, as this month you will be faced with your greatest enemy of all time, Aquarius. For centuries it has been foretold only amongst the most secret of cosmic societies that in this month, during 2016, you shall come face to face with this fearsome beast, you must be strong. Do not let it see your fear, and never let it believe you are weak. This will be the ultimate test of your strength, but if you remain focused and believe in yourself, you can prevail. The only way to defeat this unspeakable evil will be to lure it using your charm, good looks and wit, to a volcano and then drop it in. The victory will give you good luck for the rest of the summer, and you will also enjoy a scrumptious BBQ this month. Also, the horrendous enemy will more than likely take the most evil and despicable shape of the treacherous koala.

It seems like things are finally starting to wind down around you, but you just can’t seem to level out, Aries. All the deep breaths in the world aren’t enough to ground you. For everyone else, May is feeling like month one of a great vacation, but for you it’s month one of running a three-month show. People will turn to you for guidance and wisdom this month, so make sure you are engaging in activities that actually matter to you. Don’t force yourself into anything, take your time and remember who’s in charge here (you). Luckily all your influence combined with Saturn’s rotation this month will you give the ability of mind-control between the hours of 4:30 and 9 p.m. Just note that when I say “mind control” I mean you’ll have total control over your own mind, not other people’s. But that sort of mental focus can be more powerful than you think!

Nationally-recognized folk and blues artist Lucinda Williams will perform tonight at The Lyric. The singer songwriter has been putting out full-length projects since 1980, and now she will bring her legendary work to Oxford as a promo for her most recent album, “The Ghosts of Highway 20.” Although folk and blues may be what Williams is best known for, her work often branches outside of these genres. Commonly categorized as either rock, country or soul, her catalog is nothing short of diverse. “The Ghosts of Highway

Jahnke’s strong pitching leads Rebels over Louisiana Tech Elisha Jahnke allowed just five baserunners all game and Ashton Lampton came through with timely hitting to lead the Ole Miss softball team to a 3-1 win over Louisiana Tech Wednesday at the Lady Techsters Softball Complex. Jahnke was nearly dominant all game long, giving up just two hits, one of which was a solo home run in the second. She is the second Ole Miss pitcher to reach 10 wins this season after improving to 10-6 in the circle. The Grand Junction, Colorado native struck out four Lady Techsters, walked two and at one point retired nine in a row midway through the contest.

continued from page 8 Bianco will be looking for a more extended outing from him this weekend. The rotation has been a question mark for Ole Miss at times this year, but Parkinson has filled the Saturday role nicely, and McArthur has the potential to be a difference maker for this team if he can be effective on Sundays. Georgia has not yet announced who will pitch in game three. At the plate Both of these teams have had their fair share of struggles at the plate this year. Georgia ranks in the bottom three in the SEC in total batting, whereas Ole Miss is ninth. Georgia is hitting just .250 as a team, which is second-to-last in the conference, only in front of Alabama. The Bulldogs have struggled to score runs this year, and it has cost them games. Skyler Weber leads the Bulldogs in hits (62), and is second in team RBIs (24), and also leads the club with 78 total bases. Daniel Nich-

Analysis Georgia, despite its struggles, still has an RPI of 29, meaning that this can be another feather in Ole Miss’ NCAA tournament cap if it can add a couple more RPI top-30 wins. This is also a weekend that Ole Miss’ hosting chances could be hurt. Georgia is a tough team when they want to be, and a series loss would put the Rebels on less stable ground in that regard. Robert Tyler will be tough to solve on Friday, but I think Ole Miss takes two on the back end of the weekend.

ols and L.J. Talley have five and six home runs, respectively, to lead Georgia in that department. The Rebels have hit better as of late and now have five guys batting .300 in the SEC. Henri Lartigue has carried a heavy load, and J.B. Woodman’s three-homerun explosion last weekend has also provided a spark to a lineup that struggled to start SEC play. Those two, along with Colby Bortles, can make the middle of the Ole Miss lineup tough to get through when they are hitting well.

Ole Miss to face Georgia in weekend series BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
With just three weeks remaining in the SEC regular season, Ole Miss travels to Athens this weekend for a three-game series with the Georgia Bulldogs. The Rebels are coming off their biggest SEC series win so far this year after taking two of three from No. 9 LSU. It was a weekend in which Ole Miss answered a lot of criticism. Ole Miss put itself in firm position to host a regional with its win over the weekend, but will need a serviceable finish down the stretch to remain in that position. It will face a different challenge this week in Georgia, a team from which you really never know what you’re going to get. Georgia has a series win over No. 7 South Carolina, and took the opening game at Florida before dropping the final. The team was also swept by Texas A&M and Vanderbilt last weekend. “We’ve gotta play well,” Bianco said. “That’s what the game of baseball is all about, and why it’s so difficult. It’s not easy to play well every day and on the road against a very good team, a team that beat South Carolina just a few weeks ago at home. It’ll be a big challenge for us.”
Georgia has not found much consistency this year, but it does have one of the best Friday night starters in the SEC in Robert Tyler.
On the mound It will be Tyler against Brady Bramlett on Friday. Tyler was a freshman All-American in 2014, and after an injury-riddled 2015 season he has anchored the Bulldog rotation. “Tyler is terrific. He struggled a little bit at the beginning of the year, but seems to have gotten it going again,” Bianco said. “He’s a guy that’s going to throw the ball mid to upper 90s and yeah, you don’t see that every day.” Tyler had a slow start to this year, and it shows in his 3-4 record and 3.34 ERA, but is dominant when his command is there to compliment his upper 90s velocity. Bramlett didn’t have his best outing last weekend against LSU, and did not factor in the decision in a 7-6 Ole Miss win. Aside from that and a start against South Carolina, Bramlett has been effective at the top of the Rebels’ rotation, and is 6-2 this year and with an ERA of 2.61. Sophomore left-hander David Parkinson might still be getting used to pitching in the SEC after

He earned a win in his first start against Arkansas, and allowed just one run in seven innings against Alabama the next week. Parkinson was on the wrong side of a complete game from LSU’s Alex Lange and suffered a loss last weekend. Georgia will also send out a left-
hander on Saturday in Connor Jones. Jones is 5-4 in 10 starts this year for the Bulldogs with an ERA of 5.02. Freshman James McArthur will get the ball on Sunday for Ole Miss. McArthur had a slow start to the year and was held back a bit by a foot injury to begin the year. But the freshman right-hander has been a difference maker for Ole
Miss in the last six weeks. He’s 5-0 in midweek games this year, and has allowed just one earned run in his last 26.1 innings pitched. This stretch resulted in an opportunity on the weekend for McArthur and he made his first SEC start last weekend against LSU. McArthur pitched 3.1 scoreless innings, and
