‘Holistic and integrated sensibilities’Advocating for engagement on the part of individuals, this year’s black and women’s history month speaker Stacey Floyd-Thomas delivered a keynote lecture last night.
O.U.T. extends hours due to safety concernsThe Green and Brown routes of O.U.T have now extended operating hours to 9 p.m. and more will be expanded in the fall.
Director of Parking and Transportation Services Isaac Astill discussed schedule changes that were made to the Oxford University Transit sys-
tem last week due to safety con-cerns about students walking across certain streets in Oxford.
“The Green and Brown route have been extended to operate until at least 9 p.m.,” Astill said.
The Green route will make its last pickup at the Student Union, go around campus, stop
one more time at University Avenue and Old Taylor Road and make its last drop-off at The Connection at 9:15 p.m.
The Brown route will make its last pickup at Paris-Yates Chapel at 9:10 p.m. and do its last drop-off at the Jackson Av-enue Center at 9:15 p.m.
Astill said the two routes were expanded for safety reasons.
“There is no crosswalk or access point for people to get across certain areas like Jack-son Avenue and Fraternity Row,” he said.
The Office of Outreach and the Office of the Provost agreed
to fund the additional hours.Astill said the funding will
help the O.U.T system until more extensions are imple-mented.
“All the O.U.T routes will be expanded in the beginning of the school year next fall,” he said.

UM works to improve disaster preparedness
The University of Missis-sippi Clinical Disaster Re-search Center is conducting surveys to gather data on stu-dents’ perceptions of disaster preparedness to improve the current disaster procedures for the university.
Comprised of graduate stu-dents and researchers from the university’s department of psychology, the center focuses on research, service and education in clinical di-saster psychology.
Bethany Aiena, graduate student in the clinical psy-chology doctoral program, said that the center is work-ing with the university Inci-dent Response Team on the project.
“We hope to use what we learn to better prepare the UM community through things like training programs and other informational outlets so that everyone on campus knows how to re-spond responsibly in any type of disaster situation,”
The University of Mississippi’s Clinical Disaster Research Center is working with UM’s Incident Response Team to improve disaster preparedness.

First lady Michelle Obama visited Mississippi Wednes-day to celebrate two years of the Let’s Move! campaign, which targets childhood obe-sity.
The first lady praised Mis-sissippi’s efforts to bring healthy food and nutritional awareness to its schools. In recent years, Mississippi’s Board of Education set new standards regarding different aspects of health, including
food served in the cafeteria, the way the food is prepared (schools replacing fryers with steamers) and what drinks are sold in vending machines.
These changes come as the health of our citizens has reached a crisis level. Ac-cording to Lynn House, in-terim state superintendent of education, in 2004, research determined that more than 43 percent of Mississippi children were obese or over-weight. House said that if that trend were to continue with-out any efforts to curb chil-dren’s waistlines, 65 percent of our population would be classified as obese by 2030. Obesity brings a wide variety of health problems including
Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, hy-pertension, arthritis and obe-sity-related cancer.
These numbers put not only our residents at risk, but our state as well. Mississippi has more residents on Med-icaid than any other state. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than 50 percent of Missis-sippi children are enrolled in Medicaid. What this means for the state is that as our children’s waistlines expand, our state’s wallet will thin as it struggles to provide the medical needs of obese chil-dren both now and in the future. The fight against obe-sity is not one of vanity, but
one of health and financial stability.
With the Let’s Move! cam-paign, our youth are learning the importance of healthy eating and an active lifestyle. Some students may not being getting this type of education at home or have access to healthy food at home. Fast food is cheap and easily ac-cessible. In the Mississippi Delta, crops are often har-vested and shipped to retail-ers who, due to the sparse population and low income of the Delta, are located far from the area. If you are on a very limited budget, it’s hard to pass up the cheap fast food

Horse meat, beef, what’s the difference?
I guess it’s good when your worst news is that horsemeat’s being switched out for beef in your frozen meals. Good job, Europe.
Horse meat has mysterious-ly turned up in food, mostly in processed meals and fro-zen dinners, in 14 EU na-tions. There’s actually nothing wrong with eating it, it’s sim-ply culturally abhorrent. It’s kind of like eating dog or cat—I could actually find a number of countries that find cooking up these creatures in stir fry to-tally acceptable.
The real issue is not that horse meat is inedible, it’s that the horse meat was totally un-labeled. Consumers were eat-ing their delicious, sodium and
preservative-filled shepard’s pie ready meal with the be-lief that those ground up meat chunks were the remnants of Bessie the cow, who lived a long and wonderful life graz-ing grass.
I should try harder to dis-guise me disdain for society. I understand, eating something thinking it’s one thing and finding out it’s another is ter-rifying. It’s unregulated, and it’s fraud.
Whoever’s putting the horse meat in the mix of the totally complex food supply chain is trading this much cheaper product for beef and then pocketing the cash. With the economic crisis not far behind us, lingering in our homes and at our jobs, there is a huge quantity of unwanted horses that rich people with racehorse
gambling problems and barns and equestrian children, can no longer afford. Seabiscuit never expected IKEA meat-balls to be his ultimate fate.
See? I get it. But it’s hard to feel bad when we’ve set our-selves up for this to happen. Our demand for lots of meat and unreasonably low prices is absurd. The way we raise animals for slaughter is totally disgusting. This scandal is hap-pening in Europe, but it’s a re-flection of our privileged, capi-talistic first world society.
If you look at the US food in-dustry, which is totally opaque, by the way, it’s easy to imag-ine this happening in our own Lean Cuisines and sausage pizza Hot Pockets. The rising price of corn, which we feed our cows to fatten them up ex-tra fast so they can speed on to
the slaughterhouse, and which is not a part of their natural diet, is the cause for the ris-ing price of beef here on our own American shores. The ease with which I can imagine a horse meat headline on the front page of the New York Times is scary. US meat sup-pliers (and to give you some perspective, there are four firms that control over 80% of beef slaughtered for the entire country) are absolutely greedy and corrupt enough to participate in a cash-pocketing scheme such as the one we are witnessing overseas.
I’m not a hippie vegan that works for PETA and only eats ethically grown alfalfa sprout wheatgrass smoothies. I eat meat almost everyday. I partic-ipate in this food game where no one knows the rules. That doesn’t mean I can’t look with a critical eye on where my food is sourced.
If we don’t become more educated about our food, we aren’t innocent. That’s what this whole horse meat debacle says to me; it’s a reminder that most of us are all pas-sive beings that take our pro-cessed foods without question. Only when it’s discovered by chance, then we become out-raged. Did anyone taste their frozen lasagna and exclaim, gee whiz, this doesn’t taste like beef? The truth is, few people examine or pressure our food providers to be ethical; our un-questioning purchasing hab-its allow companies to act the way they do.

down the street and use gas money to drive to get some-what costly fresh produce from a retail grocery in the next county.
By providing fresh fruits and vegetables and other health options for students at lunch and breakfast, we are greatly impacting the health of our kids. Hope-fully this focus on health will flow from the schools to the community, bring-ing nutritious options and access to healthy food to all of our citizens. By trimming our waists, we are expand-ing our potential. A healthy future is a bright future for the state of Mississippi.

Aiena said.The center is also holding
focus groups with students.“We are also running focus
groups in order to gain more qualitative information and would love to have students volunteer for these,” said Sea-mus Walsh, graduate student in experimental psychology.
According to Brandy Bac-zwaski, graduate student in clinical psychology, the cen-ter also recently completed a contract with the Mississippi Department of Mental Health
involving the BP oil spill of 2010. The center monitored the psychological effects of the spill with the financial backing of the BP Behavioral Health Grant administered through the state mental health department.
“This grant was provided to the state of Mississippi fol-lowing the Gulf oil spill to provide mental health ser-vices to Mississippi individu-als that were affected by the spill,” Aiena said.
According to Aiena, the center collaborated with 19 mental health agencies on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
“We had to assess psycho-logical variables, services
provided and treatment out-comes in the wake of the Gulf oil spill,” she said.
Aiena said she wants peo-ple to be more prepared and make safe decisions in the event of a disaster.
“We want the community to not only know what to do, but to be confident that they could have a plan to keep themselves and others as safe as possible through informed and educated decision-mak-ing in the event of a disaster,” Aiena said.

evening’s speaker.Floyd-Thomas said that some
things that were true 25 years ago remain valid today in re-gard to the generational quest.
“The fact remains that regard-less of the dismal circumstances
and the devastating statistics and horrific description that we define ourselves with, the choice is up to (us to) live a life of change,” Floyd-Thomas said.
Undecided freshman Cathe-rine Goshorn said she found the lecture engaging and expects to begin seeing things from a com-pletely different perspective.
“She (Floyd-Thomas) has a
phenomenal grip on reality and what’s happening,” Gos-horn said. “She’s not an idealist but a realist, and that was really inspiring.”
Hospitality management ju-nior Ashley Anzalone said she found the statistics that Floyd-Thomas used very interesting.
“All of our generation thinks that the current events happen-ing are not a big problem, and she (Floyd-Thomas) brought them all together to make us realize that we do have big problems that we need to fix in society,” Anzalone said.
Assistant professor of religion Sarah Moses said she thinks Floyd-Thomas’s work shows that one’s intellectual and schol-arly work can have direct rele-vance to the real world.
“I hope the lecture deepened students’ appreciation for the importance of studying black American and women’s experi-ences as vital to American his-tory,” Moses said. “I also hope that the lecture provides an example of the way in which a topic like race can be addressed in a constructive, thoughtful manner that deepens our un-
derstanding of one another.”Arguing that progress is not
a product of isolated labors, Floyd-Thomas called attendees to action.
“I hope that we will all em-brace a more holistic and in-tegrated sensibility,” Floyd-Thomas said.
“It is my hope, prayer and concern that my words become more than sacred rhetoric or self-congratulatory praise; but that they become the self and extrude not only for this cam-pus but for this state, country and world.”

Tennis opens conference play
Lady Rebel Netters wel-come two top-20 teams on SEC opening weekend
The Ole Miss women’s tennis team, ranked No. 42 in the nation, opens South-eastern Conference play this weekend as it hosts No. 5 Alabama Friday and No. 17 Auburn Sunday.
“It’s very exciting,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “We’ve got a top-five and a top-20 team coming into town right away, so we don’t waste any time as far as get-ting right into the swing of things.
“The SEC, from a tennis standpoint, is a great confer-ence. With both Alabama
and Auburn, we’ve got some great rivalries going.”
The Rebels (2-4) are com-ing off a 6-1 loss to then-No. 16 Virginia this past Satur-day. In singles, junior Caro-line Rohde-Moe is ranked No. 39 in the nation and holds a 4-2 record at No. 1 singles.
Alabama (8-1), which has four players in the national rankings, has won its last four matches, which includ-ed three top-25 opponents. Auburn (10-1), which moved up 42 spots in this week’s rankings, is off to its best start in school history and rides a 10-match winning streak, the longest in school history.
Friday’s match starts at 3 p.m., and Sunday’s match starts at 1 p.m.
Rebels Netters open SEC play on the road
Coming off a 4-2 win against No. 63 Memphis Wednesday, the No. 13 Ole Miss men’s tennis team hits the roads for the start of Southeastern Conference play. The Rebels (6-2) face No. 31 Alabama Friday, fol-lowed by No. 32 Auburn Sunday.
“Everybody wants to knock Ole Miss off,” head coach Billy Chadwick said.
“The truth of the matter is, with the conference this year, it’s a free-for-all, and it’s go-ing to come down to matches very similar to (Wednesday’s match against Memphis) and who wins them. We got two big ones on the road coming up, and so we need to start off and get two victories.”
Ole Miss has four nation-ally ranked players, led by senior Jonas Lutjen and sophomore Nik Scholtz. The duo, ranked No. 5 in the na-tion, has helped the Rebels win the doubles point in six of eight matches. In singles, Lutjen is ranked No. 5 and holds a 4-1 record at No. 2 singles. Scholtz is ranked No. 12 and holds a 5-1 record at No. 1 singles.
Alabama (9-3) has two na-tionally ranked singles play-ers, while Auburn (8-2) has one, in addition to the na-tion’s top-ranked doubles team of senior Andreas Mies and junior Daniel Cochrane.
Friday’s match starts at 3 p.m., and Sunday’s match starts at 1 p.m.
The Ole Miss men’s and women’s tennis teams begin SEC play this weekend with Alabama on Friday and Auburn on Sunday. The Lady Rebels will be at home this weekend, while the men are playing away.

No. 10 Kentucky cruises past Lady Rebels
There was some emotion in Tad Smith Coliseum on Thursday night. Two Lady Rebels were playing in their final game at home in Oxford.
Seniors Maggie McFerrin and Courtney Marbra were honored on Senior Night before the Rebels tipped off against No. 10 Kentucky. For McFerrin, a former walk-on, this was her first start of the season. Marbra made her 28th start as she has started every game this season.
“It’s so much fun to get to honor the players that have come through your program,” head coach Brett Frank said. “Tonight we got the opportu-nity to celebrate two very spe-cial young ladies.”
The Wildcats (24-4, 12-3) had their way early and of-ten. Kentucky led 21-6 at one point in the first half. By half-time, the lead was 37-18. The Rebels (9-19, 2-13) pulled to within 16 at 37-21 early in the second half, but that was as close as they would get.
Kentucky turned the Reb-
els over 21 times. The Wild-cats also won the rebounding battle, 57-38, with 27 of those rebounds on the offensive end. Those 57 boards were the most allowed by Ole Miss this season.
“Rebounding is an effort stat,” Frank said, “And tonight we did get our tails kicked on the defensive end of the floor.”
Perhaps the brightest spot on Thursday night was soph-omore forward Tia Faleru. The Ozark, Ala., native came off the bench to give the Reb-els 14 points and 14 rebounds, her fifth career double-dou-ble. Sophomore forward Dan-ielle McCray added 12 points of her own.
While Marbra’s night was cut short when she fouled out, and Maggie McFerrin was subbed for with less than a minute remaining, both se-niors walked off the court to applause in their final home game.
The Rebels will complete their season Sunday in Fay-etteville against the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks. The game will tip off at 2 p.m.
Ole Miss dropped its final home game of the season to No. 10 Kentucky, 90-65. The Lady Rebels will wrap up their season with a matchup at Arkansas Sunday.

on six hits with seven strikeouts and seven walks.
Sunday’s starter remains up in the air, but the Rebels hope to send sophomore right-hander Chris Ellis to the mound. El-lis, who has been rehabbing a pulled abdominal muscle, did flat ground work Wednesday, according to Bianco, and was scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday.
“Hopefully, he will get the start on Sunday,” Bianco said of Ellis. “He will probably throw a couple innings just to try to work him back into it. Not necessarily pitch count, that’s part of it, but probably more so that we don’t push him with the pulled ab and don’t go too far with it.”
If Ellis isn’t able to go Sun-day, look for sophomore right-hander Sam Smith to get the start. Smith started last Sunday in place of Ellis when he earned a no-decision after giving up two runs on five hits with three
strikeouts and three walks in 3.1 innings of work.
The pitching staff will have their hands full with an FIU team that enters the series bat-ting .329 as a team. The Panthers will be led by Edwin Rios, who boasts a .455 average through nine games with 10 doubles. T.J. Shantz will provide the power for FIU, having already hit three home runs on the season.
The Rebels will be led by ju-nior catcher Stuart Turner, who leads the team with a .357 bat-ting average, two home runs and 10 RBI. Sophomore center Auston Bousfield leads the team with 11 runs hits, followed by Turner and senior left fielder Tanner Mathis with 10. The Rebels enter the weekend with a .271 batting average.
Game one of the three-game set begins at 5 p.m. tonight. Sat-urday’s contest will begin at 3 p.m. with the series finale set to start at noon.

Warren’s school record with 111 3-pointers made this season.
In their earlier meeting, Ole Miss defeated Missis-sippi State, 93-75, in Ox-ford. The 75 points were an SEC high for the Bulldogs. Henderson scored 31, while Holloway 24 in the Rebels’ rout. Sophomore guard Jar-vis Summers, a Jackson na-tive, said he expect Missis-sippi State to be amped for Saturday’s rematch.
“They (are) playing Ole Miss,” Summers said. “It’s a rivalry. They (are) going to give 110 percent.”
Mississippi State is the only SEC team without a player averaging in dou-ble figures, but boast six players who average be-tween 7.8 and 9.8 points per game. Freshman guard Craig Sword, who led the Bulldogs with 17 points in the earlier meeting, also leads the team in scoring, averaging 9.8 points per game.
For Ole Miss, freshman forward Anthony Perez suf-fered a sprained MCL in Wednesday’s game against Texas A&M. According to a team’s spokesman, Perez is day-to-day. Ole Miss is now down to just nine scholarship players and two walk-ons.
The game will tip off at 4 p.m. in Starkville and will be televised on FSN.

The Ole Miss softball team (12-8) looks to ex-tend its eight-game win-ning streak as it heads to Orlando to play in a three-day, five-game tournament hosted by Central Florida this weekend.
“I want to see everybody hitting on all cylinders,” head coach Windy Thees said. “I’d still love to see all nine girls in the lineup hit-
ting awesome, base running well and playing defense well. I still think we have yet to have that day where everyone is right on, and that’s what I’d like to see.”
The Rebels will start the weekend Friday against Penn and UCF (10-7) at 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., respec-tively. The team will then take on Villanova (7-4) at 8:30 a.m. and Connecticut (5-4) at 10:30 a.m. Ole Miss will finish the weekend with another game against Villa-nova Sunday at 8:30 a.m.

Diamond Rebels hit the road to face FIUOle Miss will make their first road appearance of the year as the Rebels are heading to Miami to take on Florida Interna-tional in a three-game set. The series begins tonight at 5 p.m.
The Ole Miss baseball team will make its first road trip of the 2013 season this weekend to Miami to face the Florida International Golden Panthers in a three-game series. The Rebels (8-1), ranked No. 8 in the nation, are coming off a midweek split with Memphis and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, while FIU (7-2) enters the weekend after splitting with Texas A&M.
“They’ll play hard, and they are always offensive,” head coach Mike Bianco said of FIU. “(Head coach Turtle Thomas) is a tremendous recruiter. His whole career, he has been not-ed as one of the best recruiters in the country. They’re going to be very good.”
For a lot of guys on this year’s team, this will be their first road trip in their careers at Ole Miss.
“We always like to go one
weekend kind of as a dry run,” Bianco said. “I say that not fig-uratively, it’s not that it’s spring training or practice, but it is the first time a lot of these guys have ever traveled with us, first time plane, bus, meetings, that kind of stuff. We call it a busi-ness trip.”
Ole Miss will send junior right-hander Bobby Wahl to the mound Friday as he looks for his third win of the year. In two starts, Wahl has pitched a combined 11.1 innings and given up only one run on five hits with 12 strikeouts and nine walks.
Junior right-hander Mike Mayers will get the nod Sat-urday for the Rebels, still in search of his first win of the sea-son after picking up two no-de-cisions to start the year. Mayers has pitched a combined 10.2 innings and given up two runs

loss that would derail any
hopes for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament when it travels to take on Missis-sippi State Saturday.
Mississippi State (7-20, 2-13
Southeastern Conference) sits in last place in the SEC and carries a 13-game losing streak, while it’s RPI is also worst in the SEC at No. 239. A loss to the Bulldogs would be far more damaging to the Rebels’ tournament chances than an earlier one-point loss to South Carolina.
“I’m just trying to grind to get these wins, try to get to the tournament and be as successful as I can,” senior forward Murphy Holloway said.
The Rebels (21-7, 10-5) once again find themselves on the bubble and look to finish strong to get into the NCAA tournament. Ole Miss is currently on a two-game winning streak and has won three of its last four games.
