‘Faith in america’s Future’Campus committees work to better Ole Miss
The work of two committees on campus has helped give The University of Mississippi a better image in the wake of the Nov. 6 election-night dis-turbance
The Incident Review Com-mittee was created in response to a letter written by faculty to Chancellor Dan Jones. The letter, which was signed by 110 faculty and staff members at the university, voiced con-cerns about how the university had publicly handled the dis-turbance on campus.
“The Incident Review Com-mittee was established after the election-night event spe-cifically to determine the facts of what happened that night,” said Donald Cole, committee member and assistant provost. “The university legal system will use the results of this com-mittee to determine if judicial processes should proceed.”

In case you’ve been living under a rock
Welcome back to yet an-other spring semester!
I have to be honest with you, I’ve been living un-der a holiday rock for the past six weeks. I haven’t watched much news, I’ve barely looked at my required textbooks and I temporar-ily forgot Blackboard ex-isted. I can’t tell you much of what all has happened in the outside world; I found out Obama was inaugurated by way of a Huffington Post push notification.
Maybe you’re in a similar situation. If so, consider this a brief overview of some of the more important things that happened over the break.
The Newtown, Conn., shooting broke all of our hearts. Even living under a
rock, it was impossible not to hear about the horrible unfolding of events at Sandy Hook Elementary School; however, you might have managed to miss the predict-able and massive gun con-trol debate that has resulted. Just this past week, a large number of people across the country began criticizing Walmart for selling firearms. A petition that started on Change.org asking Walmart to stop “selling and adver-tising assault weapons” has received more than 114,000 signatures.
Another situation mak-ing many Americans angry is tax increases. After find-ing ourselves dangling on the edge of a “fiscal cliff,” many people receiving their first paycheck of 2013 were surprised to find their check lighter than normal. This is due to a payroll tax hike, but judging by Twitter and Facebook, no one can seem to decide whom to blame for it — Obama and Democrats, Republicans or the whole lot.
No matter whose fault it is, the reality remains: We’re all making less money this year than we did last year.
One of the stranger stories that emerged over break in-volved Notre Dame football player Manti Te’o and his girlfriend who never existed. Last year, Te’o received a call from his parents telling him his grandmother had passed away; just a few hours later, he received another phone call with more bad news. His girlfriend had passed away as a result of leukemia.
Te’o went on to play a game that week because his girl-friend had made him prom-ise he wouldn’t miss a game if anything happened to her. It was a moving game, and students at Notre Dame did a lot to show their support. But what we didn’t know was that Te’o had never actually met this girl in person, and then this month news sur-faced that she didn’t even ex-ist. Te’o claims it was a prank and that he had no part of it, but some of his comments
from last year have left peo-ple wondering if he might have been involved in the hoax as well.
Manti Te’o’s situation was not the only sports letdown that occurred over break. Af-ter vehemently denying alle-gations of doping for months, Lance Armstrong officially admitted his guilt in an inter-view with Oprah Winfrey. As a result, Armstrong lost over $75 million in sponsorship deals, had to distance himself from Livestrong, the cancer charity he founded, and lost the respect and admiration of many fans.
So now you’re caught up on current events, depress-ing though they may be. On the bright side, we survived the Mayan apocalypse and found out who “Gossip Girl” is.
And that’s all that really matters anyway, right?

This year has already brought significant changes.
It began with our football team delivering a crushing defeat in the BBVA Compass Bowl (Hotty Toddy!). Our basketball team is currently ranked No. 1 in the SEC and is 4-0 in SEC play for the first time since 1937. And to top all of that off, Hugh Freeze and his staff have been on a re-cruiting tear, securing commit-ments from the likes of Laquon Treadwell, Elijah Daniel, Kailo Moore and Lavon Hooks, just to name a few. These are all changes we thoroughly em-brace and enjoy.
However, the new year also brought in an expiration of a previous tax provision that formerly decreased employee shares of the Social Security payroll taxes.
The tax provision that low-ered the percentage of Social Security payroll taxes from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent was enacted in December 2010 and remained that way until December 2012. So, when the first checks of 2013 came in, they were noticeably lighter than the last one of 2012. And people were outraged, to say the least.
Culprit No. 1, of course, was President Barack Obama. Soon after the first checks of 2013 were received, my Face-book News Feed became a hotbed for asinine comments aimed at the president. I even saw an eCard that said some-thing along the lines of, “At least they (the government, I assume) can send me a picture of the ghetto family I’m sup-porting with my taxes.”
One girl said that she had had it with Obama taking her taxes and giving them to people to buy cell phones. She probably drew this hasty conclusion from a misleading Tea Party ad that shows a black woman saying, “Keep Obama in presi-dent ... He gave us a phone.” However, according to a New York Times editorial, Obama is not passing out phones, but rather the phones are the prod-uct of a government program that provides low-income peo-ple with free or cheap phones, a government program started under George W. Bush.
An online ABC News article stated, “(T)he idea for subsi-dized phone service ... origi-nated under the Ronald Rea-gan administration after the break of AT&T. The program is paid for by the telecommu-nications companies through the nonprofit Universal Ser-vice Administrative Company (USAC), not through taxpayer revenue.”
I understand that Obama is an imperfect president and that some of his initiatives
have failed. For those failures, the criticism he receives is war-ranted and just. However, it is vital that people are knowl-edgeable about the general claims they make.
An article in Forbes refer-enced comedian Chris Rock’s stand-up act that provided an analogy depicting the feelings of some Americans in regard to payroll tax reduction expiring. Chris Rock said, “You go to a restaurant; you’re accustomed to eating. When you leave, you’re not eating anymore. They don’t owe you a steak.” To some extent, the same prin-ciple applies to the expiration of the payroll tax reduction.
I do not remember posts from any people praising the Obama administration for pro-posing the reduction, which put more money into their pockets. How quickly we for-get.
If some wish to assess blame for all of the problems to one man, that’s their right. How-ever, I just ask that all of those who want to be political activ-ists on Facebook take the time to get a basic understanding of the complexities of Congress and the nature of the extreme polarization of our two major parties.
I know that President Obama isn’t going to always get it right; I just wish some would realize it’s not always Obama’s fault.

The daily emails from UM Today continue to inform its readers that the university is going to get serious about the smoking ban.
According to the email, “the University of Mississippi will strictly enforce our smoke free campus policy. Warnings will not be issued to those found smoking on campus; all vio-lators, including faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contrac-tors, are instead subject to a $25 per violation fine.”
How enforcement will be accomplished efficiently is unknown, but they’re using a harsh tone so they must not be messing around.
This past semester was sup-posed to mark the beginning of the policy, with UPD offi-cers handing out “Smoker Info Cards.” I have not met a single person who has received one.
I myself have smoked on campus and never been given a card.
At first, I hid in the darkest corners of campus. Locked doorways, bushes, secret and
lonely patches of desolate land became my hangout spots on particularly stressful after-noons, but soon I realized that no one seemed to care. People were smoking on the steps of the library, outside of the Union, up and down Frater-nity Row.
If these people had the co-jones to walk around campus flaunting their life choices, then so could I. I stayed away from heavily populated areas and disposed of my butts respon-sibly, but I smoked out in the open and never faced trouble.
If last semester was a test, it was a failure.
The university’s noncom-mittal attitude is irritating. On game days, it’s fine to smoke wherever you want. On regu-lar days, we’re told that smok-ing will cause you to be tossed into a basement dungeon of Kinard (this is an exaggera-tion), but we have no evidence to show that this is true.
There has been limited-to-no enforcement of the policy and the website, olemiss.edu/smokefree, does not seem to have been updated since this past semester.
Has the university lost the passion to ban smoking?
If so, they should begin a dis-cussion with community mem-bers and find a resolution that will work.

Will smoking be enforced?

of the American mind set that is necessary for success during the next four years and in the future.
Obama called for national unity in the pursuit of progress.
“This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience,” the president said. “A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limit-less. For we possess all the quali-ties that this world without bound-aries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for rein-vention.
“My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together.”
Obama echoed his longtime commitment to the advancement of equality, emphasizing that Americans are “equal, not just in the eyes of God, but also in our own.”
“We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few,” the president said. “We, the people, still believe that our obli-gations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity.
“We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal –- is the star that guides us still.”
University of Mississippi stu-dents Adam Blackwell, public pol-icy junior, and Courtney Pearson, English education senior, attended the inauguration.
“Pearson called Senator Wick-er’s office, and we got tickets from there,” Blackwell said.
Blackwell emphasized the mo-tivational quality of the inaugura-tion.
“It was very inspiring to be in this place with so many people from so many different backgrounds, and yet we all came together in unity to support our country and our president,” he said.
Pearson reflected on the day’s significance for her.
“It was an honor to be there and was especially important for me because it follows my first time voting in a presidential election,” she said.
Acknowledging that the inaugu-ration took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Blackwell said, “Dr. King fought for providing voting rights to all Americans, and today we were together to celebrate the product of democracy on a very important day.”

Auditions for “Fuddy Meers” by David Lindsay-Abaire will be in full swing with Theatre Oxford at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center on the corner of Jackson Avenue and South 14th Street.Greg Earnest, a math instruc-
tor at Northwest Mississippi Community College, is direct-ing the production, which trac-es the chaotic journey of Claire, an amnesiac who is kidnapped. Earnest said he believes the play can teach viewers perspec-tive.“This chaos uncovers many
unknown things about each and every character, proving that not everything is exactly how it seems,” Earnest said.Earnest said he is looking for a
diverse cast.“I am looking to cast four men
and three women, ages 18 and
up,” he said. “I will consider casting a younger actor as an older character.”Theatre Oxford has put on
productions such as “Steel Magnolias” and “A Streetcar Named Desire” in the past and looks to expand and strive to do more.In addition to hosting commu-
nity-led productions, Theatre Oxford is holding workshops for youth to introduce them to opportunities in dramatic arts. Pamela Massey, former president of Theatre Oxford,
encouraged members of the Oxford-University community to get involved.“You are invited to contribute
in any way that is comfortable for you, whether it is to be an audience member, working behind the stage, acting on the stage, directing, writing, pub-licity or contributing dollars,” Massey said. “We want you”“Fuddy Meers” will open
March 21 at 7:30 p.m., followed by 7:30 p.m. performances on March 22 and 23 and a 2 p.m. performance on March 24.

“The Sensitivity and Respect Committee is a standing commit-tee, meaning that it is a perma-nent committee used to advise the chancellor,” Cole said. “The committee’s objective is to serve as an immediate point of contact for any member of our univer-sity community who is subjected to actions or words that are in conflict with our EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) anti-discrimination policy.”
Since the election-night distur-bance brought so much negative national attention to the univer-sity, the chancellor appointed ad-ditional members of the univer-sity to the standing committee to help expedite the report on the disturbance, according to Cole.
Public policy junior Tim
Abram was one of the additional people appointed to the Sensitiv-ity and Respect Committee in November as a student body rep-resentative.
“Working on this committee towards recommendations to im-prove our campus climate is a re-sponsibility that I do not take on lightly,” Abram said.
The report to the administra-tion from the Incident Review Committee was filed before the fall semester ended, and the re-port to the chancellor from the Sensitivity and Respect Com-mittee should be filed by April, granting the administration’s desire to expedite the process to protect the university to the best of its ability.
“It sounds like the university is handling everything very well with these committees,” busi-ness freshman Jeff Schultz said. “When we left for winter break, everything seemed like a mess. Now, it seems to be a lot better.”

In Nick Hornby’s modern classic, “High Fidelity,” the main character, Rob Flem-ing, ponders the music lov-er’s chicken-and-egg ques-tion. He asks: “What came first, the music or the mis-ery? Did I listen to pop mu-sic because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? Do all these records turn you into a melancholy person?”
Rob’s point is this: Throughout pop music’s his-tory, it has been one of so-ciety’s favorite mediums for personal expression, and, as humans, that expression is often one of sadness, rejec-tion, pain or trial.
I’m the first to admit that
I idolize several musical art-ists, and many of those artists have made a living on heart-break. Did I turn to these sad songs to soothe my own dis-may and find an empathetic voice? Or have my heroes in-stilled an omnipresent sense of loss and sadness within me? This is an interesting notion, and maybe Rob’s is a question worth asking. Re-gardless, I’m going to ask it.
The first name that comes to mind is the father of soul himself, Otis Redding. Red-ding worked his way into legend with classics like “You Left the Water Run-ning” and “I’ve Got Dreams to Remember,” spelling out his sorrow line by line, tear by tear.
The love and loss that Red-ding endured provided a
backdrop for a musical phe-nomenon, creating a heart-broken attitude among mil-lions of listeners and defining soul music for the world.
Is it possible that listen-ing to legends like Redding, obsessing over their age-less songs of love lost, could have instilled a similar de-spair within our own subcon-scious?
I’ve often said that “Big O” can “teach you how to cry,” only to imply how truly heartbroken and empathetic he can make a listener. How-ever, I wonder if I mean it a bit more than I thought.
Let’s try a more recent fa-vorite of mine: Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and his (ever-chang-ing) gang have recorded mu-sic for the last 25 years, and while the group has seen
many changes in sound, ap-proach, personnel and atti-tude, songs of sadness, loss and melancholy lurk in ev-ery record.
From “Too Far Apart” in 1994 to “Born Alone” in 2011, many of Wilco’s staples have been songs that will rip your heart out. Here’s a situ-ation that fights for the “I lis-tened to music because I was miserable” cause. In times of personal trial, I have con-stantly used Wilco as a cop-ing mechanism, finding em-pathy in its heart-wrenching tunes.
On the other hand, Red-ding has given us so much music to dance to. How can this star of heartbreak also sing celebratory, upbeat classics like “Hey Hey Baby” and “The Happy Song”?
Wilco told us how “Misun-derstood” it was, but it also took us on optimistic rock-ers like “I’ve Got You (At the End of the Century),” and even offered its whole self in service to you at your lowest hour with “Wilco (The Song).” Old man Cash ripped our hearts to pieces with “I Still Miss Someone” (and 85 percent of the rest of his catalog), but he gave us so much to laugh about when he sang about build-ing a big, black Cadillac one piece at a time, and it didn’t cost him a dime.
Sure, Neil Young depressed me with songs like “Help-less,” but he taught me how to tell a story with “Down by the River” and “Cortez the Killer.” Surely this music and misery business is only part of the equation, right? I think Rob was on to some-thing.
Moreover, I think it was his constant pessimism that prevented him from getting all the way there.
I definitely listen to pop music if I get miserable, and I know I’ve been miserable because I listened to pop mu-sic. But I also know I’ve been euphoric, in love, moved and humbled because I lis-tened to pop music.
I’ve developed opinions and handled myself the way I have because of the mu-sic I’ve listened to. It’s as a much a part of me as Coca-Cola, and that includes all shades of pop music, not just the good parts.
All things considered, I’ve come to a new question. Did I listen to pop music because I’m Kyle Crockett? Or am I Kyle Crockett because I lis-tened to pop music? I think I know the answer.

sportsSPORTS | 22 JANUARY 2013 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 11
The culture of Ole Miss basketball seems to be chang-ing. The Rebels, who are 15-2 overall, are winning in a fash-ion not seen in more than 70 years.
The fans are taking notice, too.
For the first two home con-ference games against Mis-souri and Arkansas, the Tad Smith Coliseum was sold out. The support isn’t lost on head coach Andy Kennedy.
“The spotlight’s gotten a little bit brighter,” Kennedy said. “We’ve had great sup-port, two great crowds, a lot of energy in the building and that helps us.”
Ole Miss opened confer-ence play on the road and handed the Tennessee Vol-unteers a 92-74 defeat. Junior guard Marshall Henderson lit up Knoxville, scoring 32 points in his SEC debut. He knocked down 13 of 14 free throws, as Ole Miss made 38 of 42 free throws, the most any Kennedy team has attempted or made in a single game.
The Rebels returned home and won its SEC home open-er, 64-49, against the Mis-souri Tigers. It was Missouri’s first road game in the SEC, and the team played without its leading scorer, Laurence Bowers, who had a sprained MCL in his right knee. Senior forward Murphy Holloway took advantage and scored a game-high 22 points in a de-fensive battle.
Ole Miss then traveled to Nashville and withstood a re-cord-setting 3-point shooting night by the Vanderbilt Com-modores. The Rebels trailed by as many as 13 points, as Vanderbilt poured in 17 3-pointers, a Memorial Gym record.
Kevin Bright gave Vander-bilt a three-point lead with 3.2 seconds remaining, but Henderson rescued the Reb-els by hitting a 35-foot shot at the buzzer. Ole Miss domi-nated the overtime session, as Vanderbilt didn’t hit a 3 in overtime, and Ole Miss won 89-79.
Returning home, the Rebels improved to 4-0 with a 76-64 win against the Arkansas Ra-
zorbacks. Five different play-ers scored in double figures, and Holloway and senior forward Reginald Buckner re-corded double-doubles.
However, the early confer-ence play hasn’t been a breeze for the Tad Smith Coliseum it-self.
There were multiple delays during the Missouri game to mop moisture off the floor. More notably, the Arkansas game was delayed for about 30 minutes because the lights went out with 5:37 remaining in the first half. The outage was attributed to a campus-wide surge.
This season will likely see two names atop the Ole Miss record books. Holloway is now 22 rebounds away from becoming the all-time leading rebounder in Ole Miss his-tory, and Kennedy is five wins away from becoming the all-time most-winning coach in Ole Miss history.
Henderson honored, Rebels ranked in both polls
Junior guard Marshall Hen-derson has been named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
A native of Hurst, Texas,
Henderson averaged 21.0 ppg in a pair of victories over Vanderbilt and Arkansas. Against the Commodores, Henderson scored a game-high 26 points, including a 35-foot buzzer beater that sent the game into overtime. He added 16 points and a career-high five steals in the Rebels’ win against Arkansas Saturday.
Henderson is the SEC’s leading scorer this season, averaging 18.9 ppg, and has helped lead the Rebels to their first 4-0 start in the SEC since 1936-37. Ole Miss is also
ranked in both top-25 polls, checking in at No. 23 in the Associated Press poll and No. 24 in the USA Today/Coach-es’, for the first time since 2010.
Ole Miss will host Tennes-see Thursday night in Ox-ford, and the game will also be shown on ESPN2. Tip is set for 6 p.m.

The past year has been quite a turnaround for Ole Miss athletics, especially Reb-el football.
At this time last year, it seemed like nothing was go-ing right for any athletics pro-gram on campus.
Head football coach Hugh Freeze was working tirelessly on the recruiting trail hop-ing to get Ole Miss out of the SEC cellar, while hoping to get nearly 30 of his players academically eligible for the fall. Rebel basketball was sit-ting at 13-6 overall and 3-2 in SEC play. And on top of all of that, Ole Miss was looking for a new leader for their ath-letics department.
One year later, fans are ex-cited about the future of the football program after Freeze led his squad to a 7-6 record with a 38-17 win over Pitts-burgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl Jan. 5, and head bas-ketball coach Andy Kennedy has his team off to the best start since the 1936-37 season with a 4-0 record in confer-ence play.
The difference? Leader-ship.
Ever since Ross Bjork was named as the new athletics director at Ole Miss, there’s been a renewed energy throughout the athletics de-partment from the players and coaches to the fans.

After head coach Adrian Wiggins was fired in October, interim women’s basketball head coach Brett Frank had his back against the wall. So far, he’s made the best of a messy situation, as the Lady Rebels are 7-11 overall and 0-5 in SEC play. Ole Miss has had some close calls this year against LSU, Alabama and, most recently, a 73-72 overtime loss to Missouri.
The Lady Rebels came close to beating LSU in Baton Rouge. They held a 40-39 lead at the half. The game featured seven ties and 12 lead changes with LSU coming out on top, 84-79.
Against Alabama, the Lady Rebels would not go away. They trailed most of the game but made runs at the Tide. In the end, they couldn’t catch up, and Alabama won 83-75 in Oxford.
Sunday against Missouri, the misfortune continued for Frank and the Lady Rebels. The Lady Rebels made a play to tie the game at the end of regulation; however, at the end of the overtime period, they fouled and sent Missouri to the line with little time remaining. They hit one free throw and went on to win 73-72 in Oxford.
“I thought our effort was there,” Frank said. “This team’s resilient. This team will fight to the bitter end. As long as we have that uniform on that says Ole Miss, we’re going to fight and do everything we can to compete.”
Perhaps the brightest of bright spots for the Lady Rebels in SEC play has been sophomore Tia Faleru, who
has averaged 16.6 points per game. She recorded a double-double in the SEC opener and scored a career-high 24 points against Alabama.
“Tia is such an important part of our game,” Frank said. “In conference play, she’s been phenomenal. She’s actually been phenomenal since the first week of December.”
Not to be overlooked this season is the play of sophomore point guard Valencia McFarland and junior guard Diara Moore. McFarland is averaging 11.3
points, 5.0 assists and 2.6 steals per game. Moore, a junior college transfer from Independence Community College, is averaging 11 points per game and has scored in double figures a team-leading 12 times this season.
The Lady Rebels will travel to Gainesville, Fla., to play the Florida Gators (13-6, 2-3) Thursday at 6 p.m. on CSS.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – The No. 13 nationally ranked Ole Miss men’s tennis team concluded play at the National Collegiate Tennis Classic Sunday, earning five singles wins against players from No. 6 ranked Georgia.
In a battle of top 10 players, senior Jonas Lutjen, ranked No. 5, rallied to defeat No. 8 ranked KU Singh 1-6, 6-4, 6-4. Lutjen finished the weekend 2-1 in singles to improve to 16-4 overall.
Freshman Stefan Lindmark posted a 2-1 record, with his only loss coming to Singh. Lindmark defeated the nation’s 42nd ranked player on Saturday. In his final match, Lindmark beat Garrett Brassaeux of Georgia 6-2, 7-5.
Junior Johan Backstrom came back to top Marco Nunez 1-6, 6-1, 6-3, Adrian Forberg Skogeng held off Eric Diaz 7-5, 5-7, 7-6(4) and Zach Wilder rallied to defeat Casey Kay 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

one’s realistic expectations in year one on the gridiron, and from the looks of things in the recruiting world, Freeze is look-ing to take the next step with his football program.
In the past week, the Rebels have garnered commitments from Laquon Treadwell, who is the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 5 overall prospect according to Rivals.com, Marcus Robinson, a three-star linebacker from Memphis, and Elijah Daniel, a four-star defensive end accord-ing to Rivals.com. But it doesn’t stop there.
Currently, Ole Miss ranks No. 10 in Rivals.com, No. 12 in Scout.com, No. 13 in 247sports.com and No. 19 in ESPN’s team recruiting class rankings.
That number is sure to go up as National Signing Day (Feb. 6) nears if Ole Miss can land other top prospects, such as Robert Nkemdiche, who is the No. 1 prospect according to all servic-
es, Laremy Tunsil, the nation’s top offensive tackle according to all services, and Antonio Conner, the No. 2 safety in the country according to ESPN.
There will be some bumps in the road before Feb. 6 rolls around, but there will be some excitement, too. Freeze is build-ing a contender.
Freeze said in year one he wanted his team to compete, and they did just that. In year two, he will likely ask his team to finish games they failed to
in 2012. After that, with the amount of talent he’s bring-ing in, there’s no telling what Freeze could be asking for and receiving from his team.
On the hardwood, the results have always spoken for them-selves.
Ole Miss has always had bas-ketball on the back burner as far as attention and focus from fans go, and really with the past results, that’s to be expected.
Kennedy has yet to take his team to the NCAA Tourna-
ment in six years at the helm. In fact, the Rebels haven’t made it to the big dance since 2001.
But this year, it’s been differ-ent, at least so far. Senior lead-ership from Murphy Holloway, Reginald Buckner and Nick Williams, in addition to the energy from junior guard Mar-shall Henderson, has Ole Miss sitting atop the SEC standings with a 4-0 start in league play and a 15-2 record overall.
This may be the best oppor-tunity since Kennedy has been in Oxford to punch the Rebels’ ticket to the NCAA Tourna-ment. There remains a lot of basketball to be played — 14 SEC games actually — but the Rebels couldn’t have asked for a better start.
On top of that, the fans have shown up as Tad Smith Coli-seum has had two consecutive sellouts.
Usually, students and fans are waiting for the days of baseball at Swayze Field to roll around. Not to say there isn’t excite-ment around head coach Mike Bianco and his program, but
right now, fans want to watch Ole Miss basketball.
Why the sudden change in culture? Leadership.
Ole Miss now has a guy in Bjork who isn’t afraid to chal-lenge the fan base.
He did it in football and nearly broke the all-time season attendance record at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, which is sure to be broken in the next few years, and now he’s getting the Rebel faithful to pack the “Tad Pad” for basketball games.
Not to mention, the 50,000-plus Rebel fans that packed Le-gion Field in Birmingham, Ala., for Ole Miss’ bowl win.
Things are just different in Oxford these days.
It doesn’t matter what sport you’re talking about. There’s a feeling of belief that hasn’t been around for some time, and who would’ve thought it this time last year.
What a difference a year makes.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Ole Miss women’s tennis junior Caroline Rohde-Moe cap-tured the Michigan Invita-tional singles title Sunday, go-ing undefeated in all three of her matches at No. 1 singles on the weekend to lead a suc-cessful start to the spring for the Rebels. The Rebels won a total of 12 singles matches on the weekend, including five on Sunday.
Rohde-Moe earned a total of 24 points in singles. Sun-day, Rohde-Moe, ranked No. 30 in the nation, defeated No. 35 Katie Vasenina of South Florida 6-2, 6-3. In her first match, Rohde-Moe topped Michigan’s Emina Bektas, who finished last year ranked inside the top 15. Saturday, Rohde-Moe downed 39th-ranked Elizabeth Kilborn of Georgia Tech 6-3, 6-3. With her three wins this weekend, Rohde-Moe improved to 14-6 on the year.
Another highlight for the
Rebels this weekend was the play of freshman Mai El Ka-mash who has only been here for two weeks. The Cairo, Egypt native won all three of her matches in straight sets, including two ranked wins. El Kamash wrapped her suc-cessful debut with a 6-2, 6-3 win over 75th-ranked Loreto Alonso (USF).
In addition to Rohde-Moe and El Kamash, sophomores Erin Stephens and Santa Shu-milina won on Sunday as well as freshman Marija Mliuti-novic.
“It was a great weekend for
us in singles. I was very im-pressed with our level of play,” head coach Mark Beyers said. “We were able to find out a lot about our team and im-prove from the beginning to the end of the tournament. It also showed that we have a lot of work to do in doubles. We competed hard in doubles and had some opportunities, but we weren’t able to convert. It was a great start to the spring.”
The Rebels will continue on the road as they head to Wil-liamsburg, Va., for their dual match opener against William & Mary Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Head coach Hugh Freeze and players celebrate after the BBVA Compass Bowl against Pittsburgh earlier this month.

We are looking forward to hosting the ITA Kick-Off Weekend next Friday and Saturday, and want to encourage all our fans to come out and watch some great tennis.”
Ole Miss will host the ITA Kick-Off Weekend Jan. 25-26 at the Gillom Sports Center.
The Rebels will face Columbia at 2 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25 and admission is free. The other two teams in the draw are Louisville and NC State.
