East makes changes in OPD
Joey East is in his first month as the new chief of the Oxford Police Department after taking over the position on Feb. 1. East replaced for-mer chief Mike Martin, who retired after 34 years of pub-lic service, which included a shared 1991-92 distinction as Mississippi Police Officer of the Year.
A citizens’ committee se-lected East over two other top finalists, Lafayette County Sheriff’s investigator Scott Mills and Olive Branch Assis-tant Police Chief Mark Kim-bell, to take over the position once Martin retired on Jan. 31.
The new police chief has 22
years of experience in law en-forcement — 18 with the city and four with the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office in Jackson, most recently serv-ing as Oxford assistant police chief.
East has lived in Oxford almost all his life, raised by current longtime Lafayette County Sheriff F.D. “Buddy” East.
“For as long as I can remem-ber, I’ve been in and around law enforcement,” East said.
East said he has already made a lot of changes since he took over the position. When he was the assistant chief, he and former chief Mike Martin noticed that the role of assis-tant chief was overwhelmed
the new chief of the oxford Police department was recently selected by a citizen’s committee, and he has already been busy planning and making changes to better the department and keep oxford safe.

Call it the Nancy Grace ef-fect, but convicting alleged criminals and divining their motives before they have even been apprehended has be-come a new national pastime.
The “news as entertain-ment” model has been around for a while, but with the advent of social media, it’s seemed to reach a fever pitch, and news programming is in a constant struggle to be the first to break a story.
But what if this need to be first leads to the dissolution of a fundamental right in our criminal justice system?
The U.S. criminal justice system is far from perfect, but as far as rights of the accused go, that’s something we do rea-sonably well. One of the most important rights is the pre-sumption of innocence — the idea that the burden to prove guilt is on the accuser and not the accused. This concept en-sures fair trials and allows the wrongly accused a chance to prove their innocence.
This week, the media was fascinated with the manhunt for alleged killer Christopher Dorner. The former LAPD officer had filed a complaint against his training officer al-leging use of unnecessary force in 2007. The complaint was found to be without merit, and he was dismissed from the force in 2008. Fast-forward to earlier this month when Dorner allegedly went on a
multi-day killing spree all over Southern California. In the end, Dorner allegedly killed three people: a police officer, the daughter of his union rep-resentative from 2007 and the daughter’s boyfriend.
All of this came to an end last Wednesday in a show-down between Dorner and the LAPD that ended with the LAPD burning down Dorner’s cabin and Dorner al-legedly shooting himself in the head.
Before the cabin standoff on Wednesday, the media had acted as judge, jury and executioner. The use of the words “alleged” and “suspect” in news reports was infrequent and perfunctory at best. Most news outlets stuck with the al-literative and much more in-teresting phrase of “cop killer.”
Did Dorner do it? Absolute-
ly. But one of the best parts of the criminal justice system is that guilt is determined by judge and jury in a highly con-trolled setting and after all the evidence has been heard. This determination is for the judge and jury alone and not the public at large.
This extensive media cov-erage is problematic for the criminal justice system. Un-fortunately, real courts aren’t the only ones handing down verdicts; the court of public opinion has also grown more vocal and more powerful. It’s difficult to imagine a judge or juror being immune to the press that has already convict-ed someone.
Today, traditional news media is struggling and has had to find ways to reinvent

itself to stay relevant. One of those ways is by breaking news stories first or unveiling a new angle on a story. This has also manifested itself in a need for certainty in reports, convicting suspects of crimes before they’ve even been ap-prehended. While it makes for concise and more easily digest-ible news, it’s problematic for
criminal trials. While restrain-ing from sensationalizing sto-ries may not make for the most exciting news, it preserves the accused’s presumption of in-nocence.
We can all agree that uphold-ing fundamental rights is far more important than a pithy and alliterative headline.

GUILTY, continued from page 2
I’m tired of people spotlight-ing one another with the R-bomb. We seem to think that the problem of racism finds its best solution by scrutinizing people’s words and actions, like spell-check looking for mistakes. So here we go, call it subtle racial animosity or call it honesty. But...
Hello, my name is Dan, and I’m a recovering racist. I’ve been clean and sober from this disease of racism for about sev-en years. That’s to say, I won’t (in public or private) make blatant statements racially dis-criminating nor make business preferences due to someone’s racial or ethnic background.
Ever since my sponsor, all those years ago, took the time to work with me through my problem, I’ve become a much better person. It’s a feat I credit completely to him as he showed me, with great pa-tience, the error of my ways. Despite our cultural differ-ences, my sponsor always believed in me coming to a better place throughout the 12-step program — though I substituted Stoicism for God as the higher power.
During the process of my recovery, I began to see that racism, like alcoholism, is a disease we’re born with and programmed into from birth. Just about everybody has this similar mind-set where their minds are conditioned for fa-voritism toward their own and
fear of what cannot be easily understood culturally. We are, after all, mostly raised with the same image of community that’s not always synonymous with the reality of our greater society.
However, like the sober al-coholic, the urge for a drink constantly tests resolve; like a recovering racist, the urge to belittle constantly tests re-solve. It is a daily fight to re-main virtuous against the de-mons that would so easily turn me into the wrong person. It is far harder to understand the triggers (and prevent the wrong dialogue) than to just react to them, such as “Ghetto Tuesday.”
However, to those who think racism is a one-way street, I can only offer you the advice to go and look at your Face-book friends list. You might see a tendency or you might not, but we are all guilty of some degree of racism. Think about which friends you’ll drop everything for and those you’ll call the next day. With whom do you break bread? The point I’m getting at is that we are all guilty, to some de-gree, of being racist. But it’s through a person admitting to him — or herself that he or she has a problem that we can begin a 12-step program, like AA. That goes for everybody.
Before anyone gets too hopeful, let me advise you that the problem will always linger as long as we see the world in color. But it’s about striving to be a better individual in a
community than it is necessar-ily attaining perfection. Most of us aren’t saints or Jesus, so we’re going to have problems reaching (and maintaining) that constantly enlightened state. That just means we have a lot of room for improve-ment, and anything is better than this.
Likewise, why don’t we (as a recovering racist college) encourage impromptu spon-sorship between students of different races and cultures so we each can learn from the other? Understanding one another has a way of dif-fusing those racist moments from a person’s tongue, and if we begin to understand, do you not think we can lessen the edge of our problem? So instead of pointing fingers, spotlighting and dropping R-bombs, let’s just meet in the middle and talk it out, learn-ing a bit in the process. I know this is college and everything, so learning doesn’t always take priority, but get off the moun-taintop and walk through the valley to meet up with some-one in the middle. We either work toward fixing the prob-lem or we never mention it, but I’m tired of people in this country making noise instead of making action.
As a show of good faith, I offer to break bread with any-one and be taught the correct ways as well as teach others. Let me know if interested.

Ole Miss Library Ambassadors reach out to students
Ole Miss’ J.D. Williams Li-brary is shaking up the nor-mal routine of going to the library merely for books.
They call themselves the Library Ambassadors. They formed the organization in fall 2012 as a group of 45 un-dergraduate and graduate stu-dents. Though their numbers rise and fall, the purpose of the group remains the same.
“We want to get students in-volved with the library,” said Lily Hustava, history fresh-man and president of the group.
Starting today, the Ambas-sadors are working with the Jan Hawks Memorial Book Sale. Hawks was the found-ing director of the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gen-der Studies and wrote exten-
sively on the roles of women in education systems and the social structure of the South, as well as the women’s move-ment.
The money raised during the sale will benefit the Amer-ican Association of Univer-sity Women, which provides scholarships, research funds and fellowships for female graduate students.
Portions of the money will also go to the university’s scholarship funds.
The sale will continue through Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Union. The Library Ambassadors will send any leftover books to the Worldwide Book Drive organization in Utah, accord-ing to Amy E. Mark, a faculty sponsor of the Ambassadors.
Last semester, the organi-zation spent most of its time figuring out a way to relieve
stress on campus during fi-nals week. Their brainstorm-ing resulted in a stress-free, dog-friendly environment. Service dogs were housed in the first-floor classrooms of the library for students to visit with while they were study-ing for exams.
This spring, the Ambassa-dors are a bit busier.
They have been hosting li-brary tours for the past two weeks for both current and prospective students to get better acquainted with the necessary resources.
In early February, they hosted a poetry workshop with Michael Warr, who read excerpts of his poetry in Bryant Hall. Members of the Library Ambassadors, however, were given private question-and-answer time with the published poet.
In the upcoming weeks,
they will host a student-led open mic night for students.
“It isn’t just poetry, though,” Hustava said. “We’re hop-ing different people will perform. They could even play guitar or something like that.”
Despite the various activi-ties the organization has been able to host and help with, they often have to go through red tape before implement-ing an idea.
“The kids have so many great ideas, but sometimes the execution isn’t so easy,” said Melissa Dennis, outreach and instruction librarian and co-founder of the group. “I can always think of 10 red flags that will keep us from being able to do something, and I hate to be the one to do that to the kids.”
Dennis said she hopes that as popularity picks up and
member numbers increase, the group will find resources that allow them to put on more relationship-building activities.
“This semester we just kind of hit the ground rolling, with the library tours and now (the open mic night). I think it’s been kind of overwhelming for them,” Dennis said.
In May, the group will offer a de-stressing opportunity to students studying for finals.
“This time we might try to have kittens, too,” Dennis said.
The Library Ambassadors group is open to all Ole Miss students through the Ole Miss orgsync.com website. They meet weekly at 6 p.m. in room 106D of the J.D. Wil-liams Library.

with work due to the organi-zation of the department.
“I’ve split the department
in half,” East said. “I’ve got an administrative side, which deals with records, communi-cations and public affairs, and then I’ve made an operational side, which is more investiga-tions and patrol.”
East said this structure al-
lows for more accountability and fluidity in the department and said many other depart-ments are switching to a simi-lar structure.
“It’s a small town, but we’re also cutting edge compared to most small towns in Missis-
sippi,” he said.With the increase of stu-
dents and the growth of the bar scene, East said he hopes to improve relations between students and OPD officers. He has already met with Dean of Students Sparky Reardon.
“I want my officers to meet young adults on a different level,” East said. “Now when a young person gets to meet us, it’s in a bad light. We’re trying to do things different, meeting people on the front end.”

I hear all the time that “music just isn’t good anymore.” Even more troubling, I hear it the most from those who are older than me.
This is my most hated form of patronizing comments. These comments usually pre-cede more remarks about an older generation, and obvious musical names (the first ones their brains can muster) from said generation, peppered in, like Sinatra, or the Beatles, or Clapton or Burnside.
Their argument is simple enough: The creative sphere in today’s music world is not on par with generations past, and the young generation is an apa-thetic audience content with
mediocrity.With the most respect I can
summon, I must disagree. I’m one of music’s biggest advo-cates and most of my musical heroes have come from genera-tions past, so what’s the prob-lem here? How can I disagree with them if The Band, Miles Davis, Otis Redding and Neil Young are all in my top five?
Obviously, this older genera-tion has a point, right? I’m still not convinced.
In my music library, and in the libraries of many other young people, you’ll find not only a wide collection of music from years past but also a pleth-ora of equally great music that belongs to our own generation.
I think the problem is the comparison itself. We often place new music into the con-text of its influence as well as
our own influence, citing a pre-decessor a new group has mim-icked. This constant compari-son can detract from the quality of the music at hand, focusing not on the fantastic new music we hear today but rather on the proven legends who shaped it.
As far as this is concerned, I’m guilty as sin.
I sit in amazement as I hear Stevie Wonder’s soulful voice in a ground-breaking verse of Frank Ocean’s. I’m forced to smile when I hear Levon Helm’s bold percussion driving Wilco through its albums, by way of Glenn Kotche.
I refuse to accept a charge that my generation is specifical-ly less musically creative than the last. I think past generations share an advantage of with-standing time, but I believe in 35 years we’ll speak about our
generation’s musicians with the same reverence with which we honor our musical forefathers now.
Music allows for all these he-roes to live eternally; we hear them every day in today’s mu-sical torchbearers. The music we have today is great and vast, and while quality is harder to find of late, it’s worth research-ing.
Our generation has done ex-tensive research into past mu-sical greats, so perhaps older generations should follow suit with today’s musical sphere before saying anything brash. Besides, the creative realm we have today is a product of the creative realm we loved from years past.
I remember watching “Apol-lo 13” with my dad when I was young. I also remember that
James Brown’s rendition of Jimmy Forrest’s classic “Night Train” is on its soundtrack. Even then, at no more than 8 years old, I adored that song. I watched that movie and loved it, thanks largely to the dance-happy horns in Brown’s cover. The song is still one of my very favorites.
This is what music does: Omnipresent and effervescent, it is incapable of producing a generation absent of creativity. Music is ageless. It is inherently self-propelling.
So many years ago, “Night Train” resonated with a child completely unaware of its age because music has none; it’s a “world within itself, with a lan-guage we all understand.”

sports briefsO L E M I S S S I D ole miss dropped a contest against no. 16 south carolina, 62-47, sunday afternoon. the rebels face texas A&m on the road
thursday night at 7 p.m.
Coming off an emotional win against in-state rival Mis-sissippi State, the Ole Miss Lady Rebel basketball team (9-16, 2-10 SEC) was never able to get it going against the 16th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks (21-5, 9-4) as it fell 62-47 Sunday afternoon.
“Unfortunately today, we came across a team that was a little tougher than us,” head coach Brett Frank said follow-ing the loss.
South Carolina led by 14 points at the half, and while
the Lady Rebels were able to start the second half on an 8-0 run to cut South Carolina’s lead to 29-23, but South Caro-lina responded with an 11-2 run to push the its lead back to double digits.
While the Lady Rebels were able to start hot in the second half for the second consecu-tive game, they were unable to overcome another slow start.
“We’ve tried some differ-ent things, from our pre-game warm-up to the way that we start practice each day,” Frank said. “We’re still trying to find what works best. I think we have to find it within ourselves
to do a better job of starting out with the intensity that we seem to start out the second half with every game.”
South Carolina forced 17 turnovers and scored 38 points in the paint, which was key for the Gamecocks since they shot 13.3 percent (2-of-15) from the 3-point line. Perhaps the most critical area for Ole Miss on Sunday, how-ever, was the offensive boards. South Carolina grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, which resulted in 16 second-chance points.
“Their effort on the boards in the first half was phenom-
enal,” Frank said. “I think we got a little lax in the second half.”
Next up for the Lady Rebels will be a trip to College Sta-tion to face Texas A&M at 7 p.m. Thursday.
“I think we got a great pre-view of what we’re going to see Thursday night,” Frank said. “(Texas A&M and South Carolina) do a lot of the same type things offensively and de-fensively.”

down on himself for missing that layup.”
Ole Miss (19-6, 8-4 Southeast-ern Conference) dominated the extra session, outscoring the Bulldogs 14-4 in overtime to achieve a hard-fought, much-needed 84-74 win against Geor-
gia (12-13, 6-6 SEC).“This is what we needed,”
Kennedy said. “It was as if we had flatlined and they brought out the paddles, and just boom, it jolted us back to life.”
Henderson scored 18 of his game-high 25 points in the last 8:36 of game time. He was just 1-of-7 on 3-pointers but was 14-of-14 from the free-throw line. He fell one free throw short of the Ole Miss record for free-
throw perfection, which is 15-of-15 by Denver Brackeen in 1955.
As a team, the Rebels went 30-of-36 from the free-throw line, good for 83.3 percent.
Ole Miss now sits tied with Kentucky for third in the SEC and just a game behind Ala-bama for second. A loss would have likely doomed the Rebels’ NCAA tournament chances.
“Losing is stressful, hate los-ing. We needed this win,” said sophomore guard LaDarius White, who had 12 points and went 3-of-4 from behind the arc. “We can build on this game. We needed this game. I feel like we are fixing to go on a winning streak.”
Ole Miss got production from its big men, as senior Reg-inald Buckner posted a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and senior Murphy Holloway scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds.
Despite not starting, sopho-more point guard Jarvis Sum-mers played the final 25 min-utes of the game and scored 12 points while dishing four assists. Freshman point guard Derrick Millinghaus got the start over Summers, a move Kennedy made as a reward for the way Millinghaus played against Texas A&M.
Caldwell-Pope, the second-leading scorer in the SEC be-hind Henderson, topped his
average, as he scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Georgia.
With the win, Kennedy moved into a tie with B.L. Gra-ham as the all-time winningest coach in program history with 144 wins. Kennedy is in his sev-enth season as the Rebel head man, while Graham’s total in-cludes 13 seasons at the helm.
Up next for Ole Miss is South Carolina, as the Rebels will travel to Columbia for a 6 p.m. start on Wednesday. The game will be televised by CSS.

No. 14 Diamond Rebels sweep No. 12 TCU in season-opening series
SUNDAY: No. 14 OLE MISS 5, No. 12 TCU 2
No. 14 Ole Miss (3-0) com-pleted its first series and sweep of the season against No. 12 TCU (0-3) Saturday with a 5-2 win. The Rebels took advan-tage of a four-run first inning powered by a grand slam from junior college transfer catcher Stuart Turner.
“Once again, I thought we played really well,” head coach Mike Bianco said. “Defen-sively, and pitched it well. The big knock by Turner in the first inning — it’s nice to see a guy who’s had a nice fall and early spring. He had some tough at-bats going into the lead-off at-bat today, but we needed that bases-loaded, two-out, big home run, and it’s nice to see a guy get off to a good start like that and get us off to a good start today.”
The home run was Turner’s first career hit as a Rebel, and he said he was just looking for something to hit.
“I had the mind-set of just looking for something to hit early because he had just walked a guy,” Turner said. “I got a good swing off, and it worked out.”
TCU was first to get on the scoreboard when third base-man Jantzen Witte took Ole Miss starter sophomore right-hander Chris Ellis deep on the second at-bat of the game. However, the Rebels rebound-ed in the bottom of the inning with Turner’s big blast to take a 4-1 lead. Ole Miss would scratch one run across in the fourth on an RBI base hit by junior shortstop Austin Ander-son, and TCU would add a run in the sixth, but it was not enough for the Horned Frogs.
Ellis turned in a good first start, according to Bianco, go-ing four innings and giving up two hits and one run, while adding three strikeouts to earn the win.
Ole Miss also received solid
play from its bullpen. Sopho-more Josh Laxer, junior Jer-emy Massie, sophomore Scott Weathersby and senior Tanner Bailey all got work in on the mound for the Rebels.
Weathersby made his colle-giate debut, coming in with the bases loaded in the seventh in-ning, with Ole Miss up three. He got the Rebels out of the jam and did not allow any runs on the day.
“Terrific,” Bianco said of Weathersby. “You don’t draw it up like that. You don’t want their first college appearance to be with the bases loaded, but if you’re going to bring some-body in with the bases loaded, you want somebody who can throw the ball in the strike zone. And he’s got that down, and somebody that can throw several pitches in the strike zone, not just the fastball, and he’s got that down.
“So if we had to pick a guy, he’s one of those guys that you’re going to pick in that situation.”
Ole Miss’ next game will be with UT-Martin on Wednesday at Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field. The first pitch is set for 4 p.m.
SATURDAY: No. 14 OLE MISS 5, No. 12 TCU 2
No. 14 Ole Miss (2-0), be-hind the strength of a four-run eighth inning, secured its first series win and second victory of the year Saturday over No. 12 TCU (0-2) by a score of 5-2. After falling behind 2-1 in the fifth, Ole Miss rallied and did something head coach Mike Bianco said last year’s team struggled to do.
“If you look at last year’s club, we’ve talked a lot about issues we had last year, and one of the issues we had was we never came from behind,” Bianco said. “If we got behind, it was very hard for us to win the game, so to do it in the sec-ond game of the year against a very good club has got to make you feel good.”
Junior right-hander Mike Mayers put in 4.2 innings of work in his first start of the
year, giving up four hits and two runs while posting three strikeouts. Junior right-hander Aaron Greenwood got the win for Ole Miss, giving up one hit with four strikeouts in 3.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
Ole Miss struggled at the plate against TCU starter Pres-ton Morrison until deep into the game. Morrison went sev-en innings, giving up two runs on two hits and adding nine strikeouts. However, the TCU bullpen struggled, and Ole Miss took advantage to rally and win the game.
Senior left fielder Tanner Mathis got things started in the eighth with a single that drove in sophomore right fielder Will Jamison from second to tie the game. Mathis stole second and then advanced to third on a wild pitch.
Junior shortstop Austin An-derson drew a walk to put run-ners on the corners for sopho-more Auston Bousfield, who singled and drove in Mathis to give Ole Miss the lead. Bous-field then stole second, and junior designated hitter Will Allen drove in Anderson on a single to second base, but the fielder dropped the ball, which allowed Bousfield to score from second.
“Huge at-bat by Tanner Mathis,” Bianco said. “Then a big stolen base. I thought the crowd really got into it. Crowd was a little sparse today be-cause of the temperatures, but I thought that the people that were here were really loud in the eighth.”
Senior Brett Huber came on in the ninth to close things out for the Rebels and earn his sec-ond save on the weekend.
FRIDAY: No. 14 OLE MISS 1, No. 12 TCU 0
The Ole Miss baseball team picked up its first win of the season Friday night, 1-0, over TCU in a pitchers’ duel. The No. 14 Rebels (1-0) and No. 12 Horned Frogs (0-1) combined for only nine hits and one run on the night.
“It looked like a Friday
night in the SEC tonight,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. “We had two aces really battling it out. ( Junior right-hander) Bobby (Wahl) was sensational tonight. (Brandon) Finnegan really matched him pitch for pitch. He’s a tough guy to face to start the season. We were able to manufacture a run.”
Wahl was solid in his season debut, going 6.1 innings and only giving up three hits and adding eight strikeouts.
“I was pleased with it,” Wahl said of his performance. “Ob-viously, there are some things I need to work on. I walked a few guys, and my pitch count was pretty high, but other than that, I’m pleased with it.”
Ole Miss scratched across the only run of the game in the bot-tom of the fifth inning. Sopho-more first baseman Sikes Orvis reached on a single then ad-vanced to second on a ground-out by senior third baseman Andrew Mistone. Orvis then showed off his baserunning, advancing to third on a passed ball before scoring on a suicide
squeeze from sophomore right fielder Will Jamison.
Ole Miss senior right-hander Brett Huber also entered the record books Friday when he became the school’s all-time career saves leader with 27.
“It feels good,” Huber said of holding the record. “My grand-ma has never seen me pitch here, and three weeks ago, she passed away. So it’s pretty cool the first time she gets to see me pitch is when I break the re-cord.”
The game didn’t end as ordi-narily as usual.
On a potential double-play ball, junior shortstop Austin Anderson didn’t make the throw to first for the second out, but the umpire called in-terference on the TCU baser-unner sliding into second base, which ended the game.
“I’ve never seen a game end like that,” Wahl said. “That was fun.”

HeNDeRSON’S eMOTION, FRee THROwS SpARk RebeL cOMebAckAfter losing four of its previous five games, ole miss got back in the win column with an 84-74 win against Georgia saturday. Junior guard marshall Henderson scored 18 of his game-high 25 points in the final 8:36 of game time to lead the rebels’ comeback.
It was time to put up or shut up for Ole Miss.
Georgia guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had just hit a three with two defenders on him to put the Bulldogs up by eight with 3:51 left in the game. The Rebels didn’t choose si-lence; more specifically, junior guard Marshall Henderson didn’t choose silence.
From that point on, Hender-son scored the Rebels’ final 14 points in regulation, including a perfect 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, fueling a 14-6 run that sent the game into over-time. Henderson wasn’t perfect down the stretch, however; he did miss a layup with 27 sec-onds left that would’ve put Ole Miss up by two.
“Really, it was a gift,” head coach Andy Kennedy said of getting the game to overtime. “(We) just found a way to try to extend the game. Marshall was
