GETTING STRICT ON THE SQUAREthe city of oxford has issued new regulations to manage parking problems on the square, including license plate tracking cameras.
Oxford officials have in-stalled improvements to the city’s existing laws to ease the Square’s ongoing park-ing difficulties.
After discarding the paid-parking system of its “Plan A,” The Downtown Parking Advisory Council decided to go with its “Plan B.”
Using cameras powered by License Plate Recognition software, the newly hired Standard Parking group is charged with enforcement of the two-hour parking lim-it on the Square.
License Plate Recognition software is a camera that re-cords the license plate and position of a vehicle’s tires. The first time a vehicle re-mains parked for more than two hours, the violation is
free, and the violator will receive a letter explaining the fine process for issuing tickets.
The second time a viola-tion occurs, a $10 ticket will be served, followed by $25 for the third offense, then $50 for the fourth.
The letter also relays that $10 is added with each month the ticket goes un-paid.
The fifth offense, however, results in the placement of a boot on the vehicle. A $75 fee is needed to remove the boot, plus the accrued fines.
Plan B also extends the hours during which the two-hour limit will be in effect.The hours are now from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
This plan is not popular with one restaurant man-ager.

If I wanted, I could go into a store and purchase a gun. Right now.
Let me be totally clear, I have absolutely no experi-ence holding or shooting a gun. I have had zero educa-tion on how to use a gun. I don’t even understand the most basic mechanics of a gun. But if I wanted, I could walk into a gun store and purchase one, no permit nec-essary.
I would only need to ob-tain a permit if I wanted to conceal my weapon, and the permit would be laughably easy to get.
I could walk into the store and tell them I want to buy a shotgun. They would run my name to see if I have any sig-nificant warrants out for my arrest, and then they would let me buy it. After the pur-chase, they would erase ev-erything they just looked up from their system. I wouldn’t have to register my name or the gun I purchased with anyone.
Does that scare you even a little bit?
It doesn’t? How about this, then: My cousin is mentally ill. My aunt takes care of him because she can’t afford to get help. He is paranoid and believes that the government is trying to kill him. He has violent rages that he cannot control. He takes medicine, but without properly funded mental health support, it is difficult to diagnose and treat what is wrong with him.
He can buy a gun. He has bought several, in fact. He hides them around his house so that, at a moment’s notice, he can grab the closest one and shoot. My cousin is near-ing 40, and there is literally nothing my aunt can do to lawfully stop him from buy-

Our vanishing culturesC O L U M N
International Education Week at Ole Miss takes place around the second week in November every year. The Ole Miss Office of International Programs hosts this event for international and American students.
It welcomes all the students to experience different cultures.
A lot of international student as-sociations and countries repre-sented on campus participated in the event in 2012 and had their own special ways to dem-onstrate their cultures. Interna-tional Education Week 2012 was between Nov. 11 and Nov. 17, and each day had different topics and activities.
The first day was World Fest in the Grove. Many organiza-
tions and countries had their own display tables.
At the fest, Sri Lanka’s table displayed its traditional cos-tumes and culture; Japan’s table offered Japanese foods; Kore-ans used their writing brush to write non-Korean names in Ko-rean; Egyptians provided their traditional desserts, and a beau-

For lawmakers, Jan. 1, 2014, is a monumental date looming in the ever-nearing future. That date is when the majority of the measures under the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare as many Mississippians refer to it, will take effect.
Among other things, this date marks the deadline for state lawmakers to come up with their own health insur-ance exchange programs and have them certified and oper-
ational, or the federal govern-ment will step in and run the show. These exchanges are to be an online marketplace offering a variety of govern-ment and other standardized health care plans, from which individuals must choose.
Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney has been charged with the task of creating an exchange for Mississippi. He has been greeted with opposition on all fronts, especially from Gov. Phil Bryant.
Opponents are not against Chaney’s exchange program
plans for want of a better or different option; they are op-posed to it fundamentally and in its entirety.
They oppose “Obamacare” and will not agree to any-thing that is remotely linked to it. Bryant and other law-makers have spoken out against Chaney and his work on creating an exchange for Mississippi, labeling him a “no-good socialist Obama sympathizer,” as one Clari-on-Ledger columnist wrote.
The bitter fighting and op-position is only hurting Mis-sissippi. The Affordable Care
Act has been passed by Con-gress and ruled as constitu-tional by the Supreme Court.
It’s law. Until it gets repealed, it
must be followed. Trying to oppose it goes beyond put-ting the government in a stalemate; it also hurts Mis-sissippians. If the lawmakers continue to oppose Chaney, then the federal government will have to step in with a plan of its own.
An exchange will be in ef-fect Jan. 1, 2014, whether Bryant or other lawmakers want it or not. Surely, an ex-
change plan made by Mis-sissippi lawmakers would be much more beneficial and would address Mississippi’s needs better.
It’s time to put aside the partisan bickering, accept that “Obamacare” is here and unavoidable, and buckle down and come to a solution on the task that we have been given.

ing guns.The fact is, almost anyone
can buy a gun. The age-old arguments
from gun advocates don’t make sense. In fact, the argu-ments we use to justify cur-rent standards aren’t used anywhere else in our law-making. “Guns don’t kill peo-ple, people kill people” is the mantra. But really, let’s apply this to almost anything else: “Crack cocaine doesn’t kill people, people kill people.” Does this mean we should legalize crack cocaine? What about black tar heroin? Be-cause these inanimate objects don’t kill, right?
Yes, there are illegal crack and heroin users, but can you imagine how many more people would feel okay buy-ing these things if they were legalized? The law would le-gitimize drug usage, just as the law legitimizes gun own-ership for absolutely any per-son, whether or not they are educated on the handling of a gun in any remote way or if they are healthy enough to use one.
Another favorite is “Prohi-bition didn’t work.”
First of all, no one in this discussion has ever suggested that guns should be totally outlawed. That’s not even
on the table, so this parallel doesn’t apply.
This fear that Americans won’t have their guns is ac-tually irrational. However, if we’re going to use alcohol as an example, it doesn’t even work. There are a good num-ber of rules attached to the sale and consumption of al-cohol.
You have to be 21 to pur-chase. In Mississippi and many other places, you can-not walk around with an open container. On Sundays, no li-quor is sold. In fact, in some counties, you can’t sell liquor at all.
The fact that someone, somewhere, could get a gun, regardless of if it was against the law or not, is a stupid rea-son not to have laws. If that were the case, we wouldn’t have any laws at all. The fact
that every single statistic indi-cates that more gun laws lead to less gun violence is reason enough for us to reevaluate our policies.
No one uses high-capacity magazines and automatic weapons to hunt or for rec-reation. Sure, you could kill someone with any type of gun or any type of weapon, but the speed with which lives are taken is the variable here. If you are a mentally healthy, educated gun user, you will find a way to get a gun — it may just take a few extra steps.
And if those extra steps save lives, then the harm in stricter gun control mystifies me.

On the following days, Viet-namese people provided their cuisine along with some enter-tainment (lion dance and fan dance), Africans had a drum and dance ensemble and Ko-reans provided their cuisine, along with a surprising flash mob dancing to “Gangnam Style.”
The colorful international ac-tivities provided a platform for international students to dem-onstrate their cultures to the campus and community while enriching campus life.
Interestingly, I didn’t see any Chinese activities promoting our long-standing history and rich culture — only two boards with some pictures on a display table. Calligraphy, lion dance and fan dance are all part of the Chinese culture. However, Koreans, Vietnamese and other non-Chinese cultures love, de-velop and expand upon differ-ent aspects of the Chinese cul-ture more than the Chinese do.
An increasing number of non-Chinese are interested in Chinese culture, so why do the majority of young Chinese not carry forth the Chinese culture?
As a young Chinese woman, I also have that responsibility.
Between the 1950s and 1960s, China’s Cultural Revolution ru-ined a lot of the traditional cul-ture of our country. Moreover, after Deng Xiaoping’s eco-nomic reform in 1978, China’s economy was booming. How-ever, we have paid too much attention to the economy while overlooking the culture.
The discordance between the fast-growing economy and the stagnant culture allowed the cultural deformities and depri-vation of our youth to increase.
In my generation — although we still learn some traditional culture and history — we learn very little, considering our histo-ry goes back thousands of years.
It seems the traditional culture is only embraced by the older generation. The majority of young people only care about popular culture.
This phenomenon is not only occurring in China. Cultural heritage is disappearing in the United States as well, like with traditional Delta blues. People who live in the Delta area are trying their best to revitalize the music, but the blues audience right now is composed mainly of people who are middle-aged and older. Although there are still some famous blues artists, the majority of those artists are aging. And even though blues is the origin of a lot of other music, the younger generation is more interested in its derivatives.
The problem is that these traditional cultures have a hard time attracting young people and have an even harder time getting them to carry on the tradition. How do we save and carry forth these vanishing cul-tures? It is an important ques-tion for people from all ethnici-ties.
These are the crystallizations of human wisdom, along with the development of human so-ciety. These are the common, valuable treasures of our society. We do not want to lose them.

That checklist now includes Twitter alerts. The UM Emer-gency Twitter account sent its first tweet on Oct. 16, 2012, in response to the boil water ad-visory.
Like January, October kept CAT busy managing campus safety. The boil water advisory went into effect after a water line broke on campus near a construction site. The next day a tornado watch was in effect in Lafayette County. In each case, the alerts were emailed,
texted and tweeted by Ole Miss.
CAT is continually working to improve its preparedness for domestic and natural emer-gencies. An Incident Response Team (IRT) was created to handle the task of planning for emergency scenarios while de-veloping appropriate respons-es. According to Wilkin, the IRT meets monthly to debrief and discuss.
“We are always looking for ways to improve our pre-paredness and our response to campus emergencies,” he said. “We have learned from other institutions, the local emergen-cy management administrators
and from the National Weather Service.
“For example, our real-time, time-stamped emergency web-site was developed by our IT department after watching how other institutions respond-ed to tornadoes,” he said. “We learned the value of being able to communicate quickly and tell people the status of our campus.”
According to Wilkin, the Institutions of Higher Learn-ing for Mississippi has noted the university’s efforts in pre-paredness and leadership in emergency planning.

Miller said. “I would have had to work for a bit or go to a com-munity college first.”
Congress made cuts to the Federal Pell Grant Program in December 2011, and the cuts went into effect July 2012.
Following these cuts, there was a decrease in enrollment in most of Mississippi’s com-munity colleges, according to a University of Alabama study.
The effects of the cuts include a limit to the number of semes-ters that a student can be on Pell Grants and include a decrease of the threshold income for re-ceiving a fully-funded Pell Grant from $30,000 to $23,000.
UM Financial Aid Director Laura Diven-Brown said the new regulations have not affect-ed the number of students re-ceiving Pell Grants at Ole Miss.
During the 2011-12 school year, 5,281 students were award-ed $22,158,355 in Pell Grant funding, and Diven-Brown said the Office of Financial Aid was on pace to match the number of students. She also said she did not yet have a complete num-ber for total money received by students because students are still able to fill out the form and receive the grant.
Diven-Brown said the new lifetime limit of approximately six years, or more than 190 hours, has affected some transfer students, but that she has found that students who started at Ole Miss have not had problems.
“We have had issues with peo-ple who have attended multiple colleges, changed majors, did not do well or were non-tradi-tional students,” Diven-Brown said.
“A lot of them did not know that this was going to come, and they cannot change the past.”
Diven-Brown said more than 700 admitted students were flagged as at, near or having ex-ceeded these limits. Of the ones she looked at, she said many would graduate this year and never have any problems with
their Pell Grants.Another problem the finan-
cial office faced was the fact that financial aid award notifications go out in April, and these chang-es did not occur until summer. When the changes went into effect, Diven-Brown and her staff had to reduce or take away some offers.
“This is nothing you would want to do, but we could not change when the notes went out,” she said.
Pell Grants not equalling the cost of attending a university creates yet another issue. Ac-cording to a study done by The Education Trust in 2011, a Pell Grant has not kept pace with the cost of attendance. On average, in 1980, a Pell Grant covered 99 percent of a community col-lege’s cost of attendance and 77 percent of that of a public four-year university.
In 2011, a Pell Grant only cov-ered 62 percent of the cost of at-tendance at community colleges and 36 percent of that of a four-year university.
“We are a fairly low-cost pub-lic institution, but it does not cover all of tuition, and you have got to have books, supplies and allowances,” Diven-Brown said. “The buying power of the Pell Grant has diminished over time, and I would like to see it keep pace with the cost of col-lege.”
Diven-Brown said cuts were not likely for the upcoming year and that her staff was doing a good job with the resources it has.
“I feel good — it is managed well on our campus,” she said. “We will be working more close-ly with transfer students and help explain funding options. They may qualify for work study, and of course there are loans.”
Even though the Pell Grant is not what it once was, Miller said he was still glad to have it.
“Last semester, it played a really big part,” Miller said. “I ended up having finals backed up with speeches for competi-tion. If I would have had to work, there would have been no way I could have gotten every-thing turned in on time.”

Square to eat and not to party or to a bar, two hours is (a) good idea to me,” Barnes said.
“But later in the day, two-hour parking isn’t enough.”
Mathematics sopho-more Ashton Boone ex-pressed his favor for the parking limit.
“The average person shouldn’t spend lon-ger than two hours on the Square anyway — it shouldn’t take you three or four hours to sit down and eat a meal,” Boone said.
“If there are big events hosted by organizations or some type of group, officials on the Square should extend the two-hour period to meet ac-commodations,” he said.
“But for the most part, I don’t see a problem with the two-hour limit.”

The Mississippi Department of Education recently awarded funding to The University of Mississippi’s Center for Math-ematics and Science Education (CMSE), which will provide opportunities for the state’s math teachers to improve their teaching skills.
The new facility, located on Jackson Avenue by Malco The-ater, is now another step closer to becoming a learning envi-ronment to both students and teachers.
The $1.2 million grant will fund the Developing Excel-lence in Education through Professional (DEEP) Learning Communities Project, which is designed for math teachers who teach fourth through eighth grade. The CMSE is partnering
with several North Mississippi schools and is accepting teach-ers, who will be notified in Feb-ruary.
Participating teachers will attend a two-week summer institute in July, and they will continue their professional de-velopment through follow-up sessions later in the year.
“The project aims to help teachers gain a better under-standing of the Common Core State Standards in mathemat-ics,” said Julie James, CMSE professional development coor-dinator.
“The purpose of the DEEP Learning Communities Project is to deepen teachers’ under-standing of the mathematics they teach, as well as to support mathematics teachers within one school as they work to-gether as a professional learning community.”
CMSE director John O’Haver said he hopes the project will continue to show the positive impact professional learning communities can have on schools.
“We believe that getting teachers to work openly and
effectively together to improve both pedagogy and content knowledge is a key to our state, and our nation, moving forward educationally,” he said.
The CMSE submitted a pro-posal to the department in this past October. It was one of five projects selected for the Mathe-matics and Science Partnership program, according to Alice Steimle, CMSE associate direc-tor.
“Our goal is to support teach-ers from partner schools to become collaborative profes-sionals so that all teachers can contribute to the learning of all students,” Steimle said.
The grant currently provides funding for three years. The CMSE has already partnered with schools for the 2013-14 school year but has not identi-fied the partners for the follow-ing two years.
New funding to help train math teachersthe center for mathematics and science education at the university of mississippi received $1.2 million in funding to finance the developing excellence in education through professional learning communities project.

Don’t look under the bed, don’t split up, don’t spend your money
Do you ever feel like we are seeing the same thing over and over again when it comes to horror movies?
As a lover of horror movies, I can’t help but wonder why 90 precent of the films that have come to theaters in the past de-cade are remakes or sequels.
“Psycho,” “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Amityville Horror,” “The Omen,” “The Fog,” “The Shin-ing,” “Frankenstein,” “The Grudge,” “The Last House on the Left,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “House of Wax” – any of these sound familiar? That is because all these films endured a crappy remake, and
now even “Evil Dead” is being remade.
Should we be remaking these films? We keep recycling watered-down versions of clas-sic horror films, and what does this say about our society’s cre-ativity? Critical theorists would say that rather than trying to provoke audience interest, filmmakers only produce me-dia that is expected; they make what sells, and we “buy” it. We, as consumers, perpetuate this lack of creativity without real-izing it.
We even spend money on horror movies simply to make fun of them, whether they live up to the original or not.
Many horror films have mul-tiple remakes and sequels, re-producing the same thoughts repeatedly with little variation
in plot, tone or sets. These films have become fairly predictable and perpetuate stereotypical ideology.
Examples are the overly dra-matic, less-than-intelligent fe-male and the white male who is unwavering in his leadership and strength. While we may think we have a choice about which movie to watch, all these movies are, in the end, the same.
Horror flick fans seem to prefer the original over the remake, and rightly so. I be-lieve that many classic horror movies that have been remade have not kept the integrity of the original movie.
I respect Rob Zombie as an artist, but the new “Hallow-een” remake was almost blas-phemous. In John Carpenter’s original “Halloween,” the mys-tery of Michael Myers is what captured audiences: It was a straightforward story about a huge guy who could not be killed. In Rob Zombie’s re-make, he tries to explore My-ers’ past and childhood and tries to almost justify Myers’ se-rial murders by adding a trou-bled home and hateful bullies. Giving the killer an elaborate, layered backstory makes the audience sympathize with him and ultimately makes him less threatening.
Also, films today are pro-duced in such high definition that they don’t leave much for the imagination.
Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” is one of the scariest films of all time, but the audience barely sees any violence throughout the film. It’s all implied and left up to the imagination. We only hear the well-written dialogue and see the faces of the actors
Author George Saunders visited Off Square Books last night to sign copies of his book ‘Tenth of December: Stories.’ Several Oxford citizens and Ole Miss stu-dents went to the event to get a chance to meet Saunders and get his autograph.

who portray some of the most riveting characters ever writ-ten.
The masters of horror could barely afford expensive equip-ment to film their movies when they made their classics. The original “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” “Halloween” and “The Amityville Horror” were grainy and shaky and felt like documentaries or home mov-
ies; now it’s a commonly used technique.
Much like revealing an elaborate backstory, seeing ev-erything in perfect definition diminishes the illusion and ul-timately cheapens the experi-ence of a film. The gritty, raw aspect of a movie makes it feel possible, as if I, myself, am witnessing a murder or a kid-napping or a beating. But the hyper-real images, complex camera techniques and over-elaborate deaths and stunts make the film seem fantastical, ridiculous and even laughable.
The movies may be entertain-ing, but, ultimately, they’re not scary.
Allowing your imagination to fill in the blanks is much more terrifying than seeing ev-erything in an obnoxious form. In this case, less is more.
I reiterate: I love scary mov-ies, and I am an enormous fan. I just think we should encour-age more creative films – like “The Cabin in the Woods,” “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Zom-bieland” – and stop revamp-ing films that have been done too many times.

The Ole Miss men’s tennis team is tough to beat at home. They will seek to hold serve this weekend when they be-gin the 2013 season hosting the ITA Kick-Off Weekend Friday and Saturday at the Gillom Sports Center.
This marks the beginning of the dual match season for the Rebels, who come into the weekend ranked No. 13 in the nation and boast an impressive 135-18 home re-cord since 2000.
The ITA Kick-Off Week-end serves as the first and
second rounds of the ITA Na-tional Team Indoor, played at 15 different sites around the nation. This marks the third time for the Rebels to host this event.
Ole Miss will face Colum-bia in the first round Friday at 2 p.m. Louisville and NC State will meet at 9 a.m. Fri-day. The winners will play Saturday at 1 p.m. for the right to advance to the ITA National Team Indoor Final 16 in Seattle, Wash., Feb. 15-18.
“We’ve played Colum-
bia a couple of times in the past, and they always have an excellent program,” head coach Billy Chadwick said. “They are a really good in-door team, so we’ll have to be at our best. We want to encourage all the Ole Miss fans to come out and help us try to advance to the Final 16.”
Picked by the league coaches to win the SEC over-all championship this year, the Rebels return five of the top seven from 2012, includ-ing two All-Americans in senior Jonas Lutjen and last year’s SEC Freshman of the Year, Nik Scholtz. Lutjen is ranked No. 5 in the nation in singles and Scholtz comes in at No. 30. In doubles, sophomore William Kall-berg and senior Adrian For-berg Skogeng are ranked No. 25, while Lutjen and Scholtz are No. 43. Also back is ju-nior Johan Backstrom who clinched the team’s berth in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen last year.
Columbia comes into the weekend 0-1 after dropping a close 4-3 match to No. 58 BYU. The Lions are one of six Ivy League teams ranked in the ITA Top 75 coming in at No. 44. This is their sec-ond trip to Oxford for the ITA Kick-Off Weekend, as they also came here in 2010. The Lions are led by Win-ston Lin, the 2012 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, who is ranked No. 44 in singles.
Admission to all matches for the weekend is free.

In their first meeting with Ole Miss last season, the Ti-gers knocked Ole Miss off in double overtime, 69-68. The Rebels gave up 19 points to senior guard Frankie Sulli-van, who is the Tigers’ lead-ing scorer this season.
Ole Miss ended up getting two wins over Auburn last year by winning the regular-season matchup in Oxford and a first-round game in the SEC Tournament. In the three matchups, senior guard Nick Williams averaged 16 points, sophomore point guard Jarvis Summers aver-aged 15 points, and senior forward Murphy Holloway averaged 14.7 points and 11.7 rebounds.
The high-scoring Rebel offense could prove to be a problem for Auburn, which is 2-9 this season when allow-ing over 70 points. Ole Miss is averaging 81.3 points per game this season.
The Tigers have three play-ers averaging double-digit points: Sullivan with 17.2, junior guard Chris Denson with 11 and senior center Rob Chubb with 10.3. Denson has only played seven games be-cause he was ineligible for the first seven games of the sea-son and missed four more in January with a stress fracture in his left foot.

The Ole Miss baseball team continued to find it-self in the national spotlight heading into the 2013 season as the Rebels pulled in their highest preseason ranking of the early polls when Baseball America tabbed the squad as the No. 13 team in the nation on Thursday.
The preseason ranking marks the 10th time the Reb-els have been ranked in the preseason in the Mike Bi-anco era and the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. Col-legiate Baseball newspaper also had Ole Miss ranked in the top 25 when the publica-tion released its preseason rankings back in December, as did Perfect Game earlier this week.
The Rebels are coming off a season in which the squad posted a 37-26 record and ad-vanced to the championship game of an NCAA Regional for the sixth time in the last eight seasons. It also marks the 10th NCAA Tournament appearance for Ole Miss in the Mike Bianco era and 17th NCAA Tournament appear-ance all-time.
The Rebels open the 2013 season on February 15 with the first game of a three-game series against No. 14 TCU at Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field, setting up for an exciting weekend of col-lege baseball as the two na-tionally-ranked teams face off for the third time in the last two seasons.
Diamond Rebs ranked 13th by Baseball America
features running back Mark Dodson — a four-star prospect on Scout.com; junior college defensive tackle Lavon Hooks — the No. 1 JUCO player, ac-cording to ESPN; junior col-lege wide receiver Quadarias Mireles — the No. 24 JUCO prospect on ESPN and tight end Christian Morgan — a four-star prospect on Scout.com.
Although things are looking up for Ole Miss, all eyes fall to Feb. 6 on the calendar, when Ole Miss hopes it will be able to land a few other coveted re-cruits who are still undeclared.
Still undeclared is the unan-imous No. 1 player in the country, defensive end Robert Nkemdiche. The Loganville, Ga., native visited Florida this past weekend, according to Scout.com.
As it seems to be each year, Ole Miss is in the running for another South Panola High School prospect in safety An-tonio Conner, who is a five-
star prospect and the No. 2 safety in the nation, according to ESPN.
This weekend will be the biggest recruiting weekend in Oxford, with 17 prospects scheduled to be in town for their official visits, according to Scout.com.
Those players include three five-star players in Nkem-diche, Conner and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, two four-star prospects in Moore and quarterback Devante Kincade, 10 three-star players in tight ends A.J. Jackson and
Evan Engram, offensive line-men Davion Johnson, Dan Skipper and Daronte Bouldin, running backs Peyton Barber and Eugene Brazley, wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo, cornerback David Kamara and linebacker Duke Riley, as well as two two-star prospects in running back Tim Long-mire and wide receiver Trey Bledsoe.

GAIN ESVILLE, Fla. – The Ole Miss women’s basketball team posted a high-energy, complete team effort in the team’s road SEC win Thursday night, downing Florida, 88-81, for acting head coach Brett Frank’s first career SEC win.
With the win, Ole Miss im-proves to 8-11 overall (1-5 SEC) while Florida fell to 13-7 (2-4 SEC).
Valencia McFarland led one of five Ole Miss players in double figures with a season-high 24 points. She added 10 assists and has recorded at least five assists in nine of the last 10 games and 37 times in her ca-reer.
Diara Moore added 13 points, followed by Gracie Friz-zell (12), Danielle McCray (12) and Tia Faleru (12).
At the half, Frizzell led the Rebels with 12 points, followed by Moore with 11 and McFar-land with 10. Monique Jackson recorded a team-high seven rebounds in the first half. Ole Miss shot 51.5 percent (17-33) from the floor and 90 percent (9-10) from three-point range.
In the second half, the Gators cut the Rebels’ lead to single digits, 58-49, with 16:30 left to play but Danielle McCray hit a three for Ole Miss to push the Rebels’ lead to, 61-49.
Florida used a 12-3 run to cut Ole Miss’ lead to five, 68-63, with 8:35 remaining in the game. The Gators cut the lead to three with 3:36 to play, but Moore recorded a steal on the next possession and found Mc-Farland to put Ole Miss back up, 78-73, with 2:54 left.
Ole Miss will travel to Starkville, Miss., to take on ri-val Mississippi State Sunday at 2 p.m.

Ole Miss football recruiting gaining national attention
the recruiting season is in full swing with national signing day on feb. 6, just a little over two weeks away. ole miss currently has 21 commitments, according to scout.com, and that number could go up after this weekend, when the rebels are hosting 17 prospects for their official visits.
Although football season has come and gone, there are still a lot of eyes on the Ole Miss football program as Na-tional Signing Day (Feb. 6) steadily approaches.
Rebel head coach Hugh Freeze is quickly putting Ole Miss in the national spot-light with the Rebels’ recruit-ing class, which is currently ranked as high as No. 10 in the country, according to Ri-vals.com.
Scout.com has Ole Miss’ class at No. 13 nationally, with a total of 21 commit-ments.
Over the past few weeks, the Rebels picked up four commitments, highlighted by wide receiver Laquon
Treadwell, who is a five-star recruit and the No. 1 wide re-ceiver in the country, accord-ing to Rivals.com, as well as defensive end Elijah Dan-iel and running back Kailo Moore, who are both four-star prospects on Scout.com.
According to Scout.com, Treadwell selected Ole Miss over Oklahoma and Okla-homa State, Daniel picked the Rebels after taking a trip to Arizona State and Moore committed to Ole Miss after decommitting from Missis-sippi State a couple of weeks earlier.
Ole Miss also announced its early signees who enrolled in school with the start of the spring semester. Nick Brassell highlighted the group that
It took him a while, but ju-nior guard Marshall Hender-son finally got heated up and propelled Ole Miss (16-2, 5-0 SEC) to its eighth straight win and a 5-0 conference record, tied for the best start in confer-ence play in Rebel history, in a 62-56 win over Tennessee (9-8, 1-4 SEC) in front of an an-nounced crowd of 9,206, the third consecutive sellout for Ole Miss.
Henderson was scoreless for the first 15:30 of the game. He knocked down four free throws for his only first-half points. In the second half, Henderson had two spurts. He scored 11 points in three minutes, then scored nine in a minute and a half, all of which energized the team and the fans.
“One of my favorite sayings is, ‘All it takes is one.’ Some-times, it’s just annoying how long it takes to get to that one,” Henderson said. “All I need is to see it go through the net one time.”
Henderson ended with 28 points, including 6 of 15 from 3-point range, and 8 of 8 from the free-throw line.
“Once he got one going, he
made that crazy leaner,” head coach Andy Kennedy said of Henderson. “Then, he got all combustible and started knock-ing down shots.”
Tennessee led at half, 25-18. Ole Miss was 4 of 23 from the field in the first half, 10 of 17 from the line and 0 of 8 from the three. Tennessee held a 26-15 rebound advantage. The Volunteers were just 1 of 10 from three.
“They had complete control of the tempo in the first half, and a lot of that is because we could never make a shot, which means we couldn’t extend on our pressure,” Kennedy said.
Tennessee committed 21 turnovers, compared with just 11 by Ole Miss. The Reb-els cashed in as well, with 18 points off turnovers, while Ten-nessee had just six.
There were 53 fouls com-mitted in the game, and both teams experienced foul trouble to their big men. Jarnell Stokes of Tennessee picked up two fouls in the first three minutes. Senior forward Murphy Hollo-way fouled out with just eight points and six rebounds, his lowest point total of the season.
Freshman forward Terry Brutus played nine first-half minutes due to the foul trouble.
Brutus had played 28 minutes all season.
Senior forward Reginald Buckner led the team in re-bounding with eight, and soph-omore point guard Jarvis Sum-mers matched his season-high with seven assists.
There was a lot of talk by players, fans and coaches lead-ing up to the rematch, and most of it stemmed from Hen-derson’s 32-point performance in Knoxville earlier this year.
“We still feel like we’re a little disrespected,” Henderson said. “That’s why we think Tennes-see was talking so much, be-cause they’re Tennessee and we’re Ole Miss.”
Rebels face Auburn Sat-urday
Ole Miss will have a short turnaround, as it will travel to take on the Auburn Tigers (8-10, 2-3 SEC) on Saturday at 7 p.m. It is the only time in con-ference play that Ole Miss will have just one day to rest.
After starting conference play with two wins over LSU and South Carolina, Auburn has dropped three straight games. The Tigers are 8-10 overall and have dropped two games in double overtime, one
