The late Susan Haskins was known for her genuine and caring spirit by friends and family. Haskins was beloved by her family members, her Kappa Delta sorority sisters and the young people she worked with at Camp Sunshine in Pike County.

To carry forward the spirit for which she was best known, her parents, Don and Barri Haskins of Fernwood with the Kappa Delta so-rority have created a scholarship in Haskins’ name as a lasting tribute to her life.

The Susan Christena Haskins Memorial Scholorship Endowment will provide assistance to hospitality management majors, like Haskins, in Ole Miss’ School of Applied Sci-ence. Haskins was killed in August 2009 when she was involved in a car accident.

“Susan was a very caring person and loved people,” Don Haskins said in a press release. “She had a big heart, particularly for individuals

who were disabled or struggling eco-nomically. She worked every sum-mer as a counselor at Camp Sun-shine and loved all the people there. She had an outgoing personality and never met a stranger.”

Many at Ole Miss agreed that Susan possessed many unique quali-ties that inspired others to be better people.

“There was never a time that I would pass Susan in the dorm hall-ways or headed to lunch at the Kap-pa Delta house that she wouldn’t stop with that beautiful smile of hers and greet me with the utmost sin-cerity and hospitality,” Laura Kath-erine Henderson, Kappa Delta’s Vice President-standards, said in a press release. “Susan was someone everyone in our sorority wanted to emulate.”

The Haskins Scholarship is the first endowed fund for the hospital-ity management program. Professors in the School of Applied Science re-

member Haskins as being very pas-sionate in her chosen field.

“As faculty, we hope for classrooms full of students as attentive and caring as Susan was,” Teresa Carithers, asso-ciate dean of the School of Applied sciences, said in the media release. “In the words of her advisor, Candis Varnell, ‘Susan was an absolute joy.’ This gift will allow many future stu-dents, who may have financial con-straints, to have amazing experiences within the Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management.”

To raise funds for the scholarship, the Kappa Delta sorority hosted the “Susie Haskins Bash” on what would have been Haskins’ 21st birthday. More than 600 people came out to pay tribute to her life and enjoy music and food at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center located off University Avenue. The sorority plans to make the “Susie Haskins Bash” an annual fundraising event for the scholarship.

The Susan Haskins Memorial Schol-arship Endowment is open to accept gifts from individuals and organiza-tions. To contribute, visit http://www.umfoundation.com/makeagift, call 800-340-9542, or mail checks to the University of Mississippi Foundation at P.O. Box 249, University, MS 38677, noting “Susan Haskins.”

The Grenada Stingers took the silver medal in the 12-U Division at the 2010 State Games of Mississippi Softball Tournament on Saturday. The gold was awarded to the Land-sharks of Meridian.

In the U-10 Division, Ar-mory’s Monroe Magic U-10 Girls’ Softball team took the gold medal, and the Raiders of Columbus earned the silver. The Crossfire, which consists of players from Plantersville,

Pontotoc, Nettleton, New Al-bany, Amory, Booneville and Verona took the bronze medal.

The Monroe Magic had gone undefeated throughout the tournament until meeting the Raiders in the next to the last game, where they lost 9-11 before prevailing in the Gold Medal rematch, 11-6, accord-ing to the press release.

The State Games of Missis-sippi is a member of the Na-tional Congress of State Games and is affiliated with the U.S. Olympic Committee. Missis-sippi is one of 35 states that

hold State Games competi-tions each year.

The State Games of Mis-sissippi began in 1992 with 1,200 athletes competing in 12 sports. The 2010 State Games will consist of 29 sports with more than 5,000 athletes com-peting, according to the State Games website.

Competitors in the State Games are eligible to com-pete in the biannual Southeast Sports Festival. Medalists in the State Games of MS. are eligible to compete in the bian-nual State Games of America.

Obama on the oil spillCOLUMN

BY JACOB FULLERColumnist

BY MATTHEW KINGCartoonist

In his Presidential address last week, Barack Obama announced that he will be creating a new governmental organi-zation to be watchdogs over the oil in-dustry.

In light of the biggest ecological di-saster man has ever known - millions of gallons of oil pouring into our beloved Gulf of Mexico - this may seem to some like a great idea. On the surface it may even appear to be a no-brainer.

That would be true, if government organizations existed only on paper or in speeches. Sadly, in this era of “let the government solve all my problems,” our ever-expanding government is the most inefficient bureaucracy man has ever known.

Our government is more than $13 trillion in debt, and it is climbing by the second. That is more than $42,000 per citizen and $118,600 per taxpayer.

So now that millions will lose their jobs and livelihoods due to this oil spill that we had nothing to do with, the answer is

another government organization? Sure, it’ll create a few jobs, but what

is that in comparison to the millions of dollars in taxpayer money it will cost to start and run?

Not to mention the fact that it will certainly damage the efficiency of the oil companies, further hiking the price we citizens pay at the pump.

To make sure this never happens again is a simple formula: create a law requir-ing oil companies to place a shut-off valve at the base of a rig that can be re-motely activated. It doesn’t take an en-tirely new government bureau to assure this is enforced, I think we have enough enforcement agencies already: police, FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF, IRS, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard... Do I really need to keep going? Just send one of the them to make sure the valve is in place and works: problem solved.

But our current administration is nev-er looking for the answer that is already there, such as paying off citizens’ mort-

gages to cure the housing loan problem. They look for the solution that will give them more power and allies with power, such as lending the money straight to the banks so they can gamble some more.

Mr. Obama, you do not have to solve all of our problems. In fact, your gov-ernment seems to cause most of them.

All the same, we like to believe that voting is our only voice here, so I guess we can’t tell you that for another two years and five months.

So everyone, reach into your pockets, pull out $118,600, mail it to Washing-ton, and let’s get rid of this deficit!

Oh wait, that won’t quite cover it, be-cause by the time it gets to Washington, the deficit will be closer to $118,700 per person, and that’s not figuring in inflation, so let’s just round it up to $120,000. And since Obama will prob-ably create two or three more bureaus before it gets there, you might want to make it $150,000, just to be safe. Thanks.

THE GENERATION OF CONSTANT CONNECTIONCOLUMN

BY MIA CAMURATIOpinion Editor

A study at the University of Michigan shows that col-lege students are less empa-thetic than the students of previous decades.

Of the 14,000 students surveyed over a span of 30 years, the results are simple: college students today are 40% less empathetic than the college students of the 80s or 90s.

We all know that the mor-als of the gentle 50s have basically come and gone, but that’s still a significant jump in a drastically nega-tive direction.

While the study did not look into why students have altered their behavior over the generations, it’s a pretty simple to establish that we between the ages of 18 and 24 barely talk to each other anymore.

We can type upwards of 80 words per minute, but

we can’t have a simple con-versation looking someone in the eye over dinner.

We even have online dat-ing services to match up those who can’t quite get the social skills back to par for a quick round of speed dating.

Edward O’Brian, a grad-uate student at the univer-sity, has decided that Fa-cebook and other similar social networking sites are to blame for the constant distraction from reality. Apparently, they are taking away many forms of per-sonal interaction with our families, friends and every-one else we come in contact with.

Well... duh.In the past ten years, we

have had more technologi-cal advances thrown at us than anyone can count. They are so extravagant

that no one needs to have a face-to-face conversation: they can tell the whole world what they want via Twitter.

We now express our emo-tions through tweets and status updates instead of in a group around a quaint fireplace with our close friends. A lot of people I am friends with on Face-book I have met a few times or maybe just once, but I’m still oddly compelled to tell them about my day in so many words or fewer.

Even if you say you don’t have a Twitter account or that you barely use your Facebook, more than likely you still have a cell phone with a hefty text messaging plan.

I will admit that I am one of the guilty ones; I abso-lutely love text messaging. Why spend the time calling

and distracting someone when you can discreetly shoot them a text message that they can read at their leisure?

Many of you probably have the perfect combina-tion of computer and cell phone: the brilliant smart phone. If you are one of the many people who have embraced the convenience of having the world in your pocket, you know how easy it is to get addicted to find-ing the name the girl from Labryinth on IMDb or popping electronic bubble wrap as fast as you can.

Another possible theory is that we have been inun-dated with so much infor-mation at such a high speed that we need to distract ourselves and completely remove our brain from re-ality.

While you can always

find something cute and creative to read about in the national news if you dig deep enough, most of the stories coming from the media have to do with death, crime or politics; no one gets a Cheshire Cat grin when they read about the oil spill.

The easiest way to forget about your own problems and clear your head are to read those of everyone else. It may be terrible, but schadenfreude works won-ders for a worried soul.

I’m to blame as much as everyone else with my face permanently attached to my out-of-space iPhone, but until the technology fades away into oblivion (it never will), I’m going to continue being constantly connected to the world while still hav-ing a disconnect from soci-ety as a whole.

America Reads-Mississippi (ARM) members graduated Fri-day with a year’s worth of service to their name and an education award worth up to $4,725.

About 91 percent, or 319 members, of the original 350 corps members in the Class of 2010 finished the full program year, and most of them com-pleted the 1,700 hours tutoring children in select schools state-wide in reading and coordinat-ing youth community service activities.

Graduates have a maximum of seven years from their exit date from the program to use the ed-ucational award and are allowed to serve until they earn up to the value of the two awards.

Commissioner of Higher Education Dr. Hank Bounds thanked corps members in the press release for helping to raise the level of educational attain-ment in Mississippi at an event in their honor this morning.

“To get out of this economic crisis, we need more of our K-12 students to cross the high school finish line and go to college,” he said in the press release. “We need more people like you to partner with our schools, put in the extra

hours and ensure our students are prepared and successful.”

The organization is currently recruiting for the class of 2011; members will serve during the 2010-11 school year. The educa-tion awards for a full year’s worth of service are also increasing to $5,350 this year. This amount will cover most, if not all, of a member’s tuition expenses for a year at any of the state’s public four-year universities.

ARM is made possible through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service and operates regionally through a partnership with five of Mississippi’s public universi-ties. School districts select ARM members they want to serve in their classrooms, according to the press release.

ARM oversight at the state level is a joint effort through the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service and the State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL). The IHL Board of Trust-ees, which governs public uni-versities, has committed to help-ing ensure students are ready for college and teachers receive first-rate training at universities across the state.

RIDGELAND, Miss. (AP) — The Mississip-pi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks says a 3-year-old boy from Morton apparently wandered away from a large group of family and friends and drowned.

Spokesman Jim Walker says the body of Brent Holmes was found Saturday under a small boat in about 4 feet of water at Flag Island, a Pearl

River recreation spot near the north end of the Ross Barnett Reservoir.

He says the child was flown to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he was pro-nounced dead. Walker says visitors with medical training used CPR.

Rankin County Coroner Jimmy Roberts says there won’t be an autopsy.

GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) — Jimmy Buffett and a few of his friends plan to give a free concert on the Alabama coast to show support for the Gulf region.

The show will happen July 1 on the beach at Gulf Shores and will be broadcast live on CMT, state tourism director Lee Sentell said.

“This isn’t just about Alabama’s beaches,” Sen-tell said. “Video footage showcasing scenes from Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida will be shown during the telecast.”

Buffett’s website says the concert is meant to demonstrate support for the people, businesses and culture of the Gulf Coast. Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band will be joined in Gulf Shores by Son-ny Landreth, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Jesse Winchester and Allen Toussaint.

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley applauded the idea and agreed to allow the state tourism department help with production costs.

“This will begin the turnaround to bring tour-ists back to the beach despite occasional tar balls and help save the summer season,” Riley said in a statement. “Millions of Jimmy’s fans will see how clean and beautiful gulf beaches are and many will decide to visit. This being the beginning of the important July the Fourth weekend, it could not come at a better time.”

Free tickets will be available through the CMT website on a first-come-first-served basis later this week, Sentell said.

A special souvenir T-shirt will be designed for the concert. It will be available online and at the show.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Newly released inter-nal documents show BP PLC estimated 4.2 million gallons of oil a day could gush from a damaged well in the Gulf of Mexico if all equipment restricting the flow was removed and company models were wrong.

Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Ed Mar-key released the documents Sunday showing BP said in a worst-case scenario the leak could gush between

2.3 million and 4.2 million gallons of oil per day.The current worst-case estimate of what’s leaking

is 2.5 million gallons a day.The documents anticipate a scenario where the

blowout preventer and other equipment on the sea floor were removed, which was never done.

BP provided the documents to federal officials in May, and company officials say they have no plans to remove the blowout preventer.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mis-sissippi’s public universities are banking on tuition increases and enrollment growth to offset shrink-ing state funding as they head into the new fiscal year on July 1.

The state College Board on Wednesday approved fiscal 2011 budgets for the eight universities. Combined, their education and general funds will be about $7.2 million less than this year.

The new budgets continue a dra-matic shift toward relying more on tuition and less on state funds. In 1998, 54 percent of the total uni-versities spent on education and general budgets came from state funds, while tuition covered 33 per-

cent.Tuition revenues account for 54

percent and state appropriations 40 percent of budgets adopted Wednesday.

In January, the College Board signed off on tuition hikes ranging from about 4.5 percent at Missis-sippi Valley State University to 9 percent at Jackson State University and Delta State University.

On average, students will pay about 6.8 percent, roughly $322, more for tuition.

Each of the budgets shows cuts in travel and academic support pro-grams.

MVSU President Donna Oliver said her budget directors prepared

last year for the anticipated cuts.“That has kept us in very good

shape,” she said.Personnel makes up nearly 70

percent of the system’s budget, and most of that is in instruction. Most university leaders said they are reti-cent to cut faculty and have looked to other areas.

Valley has not had layoffs, but Oliver said that could become an option if there are more reductions.

The education and general bud-get approved for MVSU is about 4.2 percent less than last year. Much of the cuts were made through hir-ing freezes. MVSU slashed its salary allocation by more than $1 mil-lion.

Enrollment at Valley this sum-mer is 20 percent higher than last year, Oliver said. MVSU expects tuition revenue to grow by 4.4 percent and state appropriations to fall 13.3 percent, according to budget figures.

The College Board also agreed Wednesday to request 2 percent more from the state Legislature for the following year. Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds warned that obtaining

that money might not be easy.Federal stimulus dollars, which

the Legislature has used to plug reductions to higher education funding, are scheduled to end with FY11. State revenue collections have failed to meet expectations 20 of the last 21 months.

Gov. Haley Barbour announced this month that May tax collections were $51 million below estimates — the worst in a year and 12.6 per-cent under projections.

With revenues continuing to fall and the state’s damage from the Gulf oil spill still unclear, Bounds said future budgets could be worse.

“(The universities) were building business plans for two to three years out based on worst-case scenarios that we gave them,” he said. “My concern is that ... what I originally thought to be a worst-case scenario has turned out to be the best-case scenario.”

University of Southern Missis-sippi President Martha Saunders created a task force last fall to iden-tify $11 million to $12 million that could be cut from the FY11 state appropriations.

The budget released Wednesday

shows USM losing $11.5 million from the state.

USM will cut its travel budget by more than 15 percent and will cut nearly $2 million from academic support and student services.

USM increased tuition by 7 per-cent and anticipates growth in tu-ition revenues.

“We hope we are able to plan as carefully and productively for (FY)12,” Saunders said.

While others cut back, the Uni-versity of Mississippi and Mississip-pi State University plan for educa-tion and general budgets to stay on track, primarily because of increas-ing tuition and enrollment.

Mississippi State budgeted for its tuition revenue stream to increase by 18 percent. Ole Miss anticipates a 9.9 percent increase.

Eclipsing all other institutions, the University of Mississippi Medi-cal Center’s operating budget will grow about 9.4 percent.

UMC Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs James Keeton said the increase is needed so the teach-ing hospital can reach its goal of growing the number of health care professionals in the state.

Now in the iPhone App Store there includes, among the 100,000 the Ole Miss Mobile appli-cation (app).

The app has five fea-tures.

“Headlines” is the news feature. It should be updated news stories from around campus, however, the stories have not been updated since late May.

Unlike “Headlines,” the “Calendar” is up-to-date. It’s a great way to keep up with events go-ing on in the area.

Through the Ole Miss Mobile app, one can find instructions

to sign up for Ole Miss Alert texts, invite others to download the app, and listen to the fight song.

Although I see very little use in having the app, other than to view the calendar and (if up-dated) news, it is free.

The only reason I per-sonally am keeping the app, however, is when I am around my Missis-sippi State fan friends and the need arises to play the fight song.

Other campus-related apps include Ole Miss Crusade (free), Ole Miss Rebels College Superfans ($1.99), and Ole Miss TeamView ($.99).

The Oxford Shakespeare Festival opened the second play of the season, “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,” Saturday in the Gertrude Castellow Ford Center.

Leading man Brian Tichnell carried the show as Prince Hamlet. From his first monologue, Tichnell pulled the audience into the story and the ever-maddening mind of Hamlet.

Hamlet, after seeing the ghost of his dead father, travels through bursts of rage, sarcasm, despair, happiness and re-venge. Hamlet’s sanity is in question throughout the play, and Tichnell kept him teetering on the brink from start to finish. He convinced the audience of Hamlet’s madness numerous times, just to show them in such circumstances, even the most sane might be no different.

Hamlet’s love interest, Ophelia (Mary Lane Haskell), un-dergoes a not so questionable transition from sanity. Haskell was good as sane Ophelia, but really shined after the charac-ter is driven to her mental brink by Hamlet. Watching her, one could not help but feel terribly for poor Ophelia.

Haskell’s unexpected, unaccompanied singing showed she has the talent for musicals as well, and not just Shake-spearian tragedy.

The set was simple - a geometric backdrop in front of lights that changed color with the scenes, and one rounded platform on top of one larger, rectangular platform provid-ed the set. A few benches, chairs, beds and a desk made up most of the rest of the scenery.

“Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” is a play driven by deep character development and plot. With an elaborate budget, the set could be done better, but the audience does not need to be distracted by grandiose scenery. The lighting, subtle music and simple set were just enough to set the scene, but not distract from the characters.

George Kehoe provided comic relief as Polonius, making the audience laugh several times with his good timing in the otherwise mostly serious play. Kehoe did not shine as brightly in the more serious moments, but gave his own twist to the character in this more than 400-year-old play.

Edwin Hanson plays the protagonist King Claudius.

Hanson did well as the stately king and really showed his emotional range during the king’s monologue, a prayer for forgiveness. And with all eyes closed, the audience could have mistaken Hanson’s voice for that of John Lithgow at times.

The supporting cast were solid as a whole, but there was certainly a drop in talent from the leading players to the associate company. In a play with a large cast in a town as small as Oxford is in the summer, that is to be expected, though, and it rarely took away from the entertainment of

the show.In all, the Oxford Shakespeare Festival’s “Hamlet, Prince

of Denmark” was entertaining, though a bit lengthy - al-most three hours from start to finish. Tichnell really brings a lot of talent to the stage and was fun to watch as the cast brought quality theatre to Oxford.

If you enjoy the theatre or are looking to expand your entertainment horizons, you should check out “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” when it is shown again June 25 and July 2 at 8 p.m. in the Ford Center.

ROBBED BLINDAlthough the standings in

Group C will show that they lost two vital points in the FIFA World Cup, it is important to remember what else was stolen from the United States.

The U.S. Men’s National Team was robbed of a win.

Tied at two goals with Slo-venia late in Friday’s eventual draw, the United States scored what should have been the winning goal. The referee dis-allowed it for a reason that he has decided not to share with anyone.

We’ve heard the circum-stances surrounding referee Koman Coulibaly’s blown call countless times. The play has been analyzed countless times. Still, nobody can pick out an infraction.

Had the referee swallowed his whistle, the Yanks would have won a match they trailed 2-0 at halftime. This is not de-batable.

What the potential win would have meant, however, is worth noting. And no, I don’t care about its meaning for the future of the sport in America. I’d rather discuss its would-be meaning to fans who actually care about the USMNT.

The fans were robbed of wit-nessing one of the more spec-tacular victories in the coun-try’s World Cup history.

Although England and Al-

geria tied Friday, nearly every-body expected the English to pick up three points.

With that in mind, during the match against Slovenia, a loss would end most chances of getting out of the group. Theo-retically, the U.S. would have to hope for Slovenia to defeat England and make up the goal difference against Algeria.

Cue the litany of emotions felt by fans of the U.S. side, from the absolute low to the absolute high.

Halftime emotion: anguish. Trailing 2-0, the Americans were seemingly 45 minutes away from the end of their World Cup run and four years away from another chance to advance to the knockout round.

Equalizer emotion: un-abashed jubilation. For evi-dence, look no further than the dog pile of a celebration the National Team unleashed in the wake of Michael Brad-ley’s goal.

Goal-that-never-was emo-tion: anger. American fans could identify with Bradley barking at Coulibaly after the whistle was blown. Consid-ering what was at stake, how could they not?

It was a fantastic comeback that took fans from low to high. The win would have placed this game on ESPN Classic for

decades to come.The victory would have

served as a rallying point. Where were you when Maurice Edu scored the game-winning goal?

Landon Donavon was robbed of an assist in one of the great-est one-man performances in U.S. World Cup history.

Donavon scored the Ameri-cans’ first goal just moments into the second half when he struck the ball into the roof of the net with a limited angle.

He sent a cross to the top of the box in the 82nd minute, and two touches later the ball was in the back of the net.

Donavon came out of the locker room for the second half with an obvious sense of urgency and deserves the credit for keeping the Americans alive in the World Cup.

But his legacy would have been cemented. As the catalyst of all three goals in a come-back of this magnitude, every-one would remember the per-formance. Landon Donavon would be an American soccer hero.

Rather than a great perfor-mance in a memorable win, Donavon must settle for a memorable performance in a draw.

Koman Coulibaly robbed the Americans. And he stole more than just two points.

Malian referee Koman Coulibaly disallowed the potential winning goal in the United States 2-2 draw with Slovenia on Friday. Neither Coulibaly nor FIFA have said who was called for the foul.
