Three upgrades within the Tad Smith Coliseum are now com-plete, helping to keep the stadi-um up-to-date in terms of safety and mechanics.

The upgrades include four brand new LED video displays, new handrails throughout the lower-level seating section and four new boilers that help to heat the stadium.

According to OleMissSports.com, the video boards are ap-proximately 7 feet tall and 13 feet wide. They will be used as part of the “centerhung struc-ture” and play host to many dif-ferent graphics, statistics and ani-mations.

A new sound system has been customized by Daktronics to complement these LED displays, and Ole Miss Sports said the arena’s sound quality has come a long way.

University architect and direc-

tor of facilities planning Ian Ban-ner said that the new boilers are more energy efficient than the ones they replaced — a decision that reflects the general move-ment on campus towards greater energy efficiency. He said that while it is good that they will be better for the environment, the upgrade was out of necessity.

“We didn’t just tear out the old boilers because we wanted higher efficiency,” Banner said. “The old boilers had reached the end of their useful lives.”

Although fans will be unable to tell a difference between the old boilers and the new ones, Banner said that hopefully, over time, the University will see a decrease in the cost of heating the stadium.

The two upgrades were com-pleted last week and are the most recent repairs in a series of reno-vations completed over the past few years. The most recent reno-vation before these two, Banner said, was the new highly reflec-tive roof that was completed last year.

New minor upgrades in the series of Tad Pad renovations

It’s the million dollar question that people in the University of Mississippi admissions depart-ment are asking themselves, and it’s bringing big numbers in a big way to campus.

The freshman class of 2014 is the largest incoming class to date at the University, with a total 4,763 enrolled students. This is a 19 percent increase from last year’s incoming fresh-man class.

Over the last five years, the University has seen a steady increase in applicants, admits and overall enrollment for in-coming freshman students.

“There really is no why yet,” Whitman Smith, director of enrollment services said. “We have a lot of theories, economy is certainly one, publicity is an-other.”

According to an article writ-ten for the New York Times, admission for public colleges is up all around the country. Ad-missions officers at State Uni-versity of New York, Oregon State University and University of Cincinnati, are all reporting

over 10 percent increases in their incoming classes.

“Ole Miss has been in a num-ber of major publications as a school where you get a real good value for your dollar,” Smith said.

Since the crash of the econ-omy in 2008, the University has experienced a 37 percent increase in applications and a 30 percent increase in students who enrolled for the fall semes-ter.

Admissions officers have not increased or decreased the re-quirements needed for a stu-dent to be admissible; all ap-plicants who meet the required GPA and SAT/ACT scores are automatically admitted.

The University admits appli-cants based on requirements set by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. The IHL is responsible for admissions requirements in all eight of the public universities throughout

the state.Potential students are au-

tomatically admissible if they meet either one of the two re-quirements set by the IHL. Stu-dents with a high school GPA between 2.5-3.2 need an ACT score of 16 and an SAT score of 760. If a student has a lower GPA, they are required to have between 2.0-2.5 with an ACT score of 18 and an SAT score

Thanksgiving is approach-ing like pilgrims on the May-flower.

Excuse the analogy, but I feel it is appropriate, considering the circumstances. It takes me back to a time when we traced our hands to make turkeys and dressed up like pilgrims to feast with the Indians.

I remember during our Thanksgiving play one year, I had to be a can of cranberry sauce. To me, that was just ri-diculous.

I wanted to be the turkey:.Well, every girl did. The tur-key got to wear a pretty dress made of suede and feathers (while the boys got to be the pilgrims and Indians).

There were at least five Thanksgiving plays that I graced with my presence, and not once did I get to be the turkey.

This will be my first Thanks-

giving break here at Ole Miss. It is a brand new experience for me (as was the landing at Plymouth for the pilgrims).

I have never been this far away from my family. With my mother in Indiana and my father several hours south here in Mississippi, holidays will be a big deal.

They become less of a break from school, and more of a chance to be around the peo-ple I have known my entire life and love.

Thanksgiving in particular has always been important to me. Even before I understood its meaning.

In 10th grade English I was asked to write an essay about Thanksgiving. Most people wrote about the usual things people are thankful for.

I have never been like most people.

Instead the words that filled

the blank pages spoke of the small things that made me who I am. The “once in a blue moon” moments that deserve just as much thanks as the reg-ularly occurring ones.

What exactly are “once in a blue moon” moments?

Moments such as a baby’s first step, learning how to ride a bike, and your infamous first “I love you”.

It is perfectly acceptable to be thankful for family, friends, a place to live, and the fact that you’re still breathing. How-ever, there is so much more to this life.

Things like the stars in the sky, the birds that sing, the flowers that bloom, the beauty of nature, and the different species of wildlife. All of these things.

We had to present those essays in front of the entire class.

Fortunately my many years of theater permanently rid me of my stage fright. I stood proud, and read that essay as if it were an acceptance speech for the Pulitzer prize.

Two days later the essay was returned to me with a bright red A on the front. I was just as thankful for that A as I had been for everything written in my paper.

So much has happened since then. The teacher who graded that paper actually gave me the encouragement I needed to pursue a career in journal-ism.

In many ways, I am here be-cause of him.

So when you are sitting around the table on Nov. 25 with the ones you love, re-member every moment. You never know when something small will become something much larger.

Big Thanks for the Little Things

When I was a little girl, I loved the holiday season.

I am an only child and the youngest of five cousins, the closest being 11 years older than me.

Needless to say, I was a pain in the ass with no one my own age to play with.

Every year, on Thanksgiving night, we would draw names out of a hat for Christmas presents, and we would begin to slightly decorate my grand-parents’ house for Christmas with dozens of nutcrackers and other familiar red and green things.

Yesterday, I went to Wal-mart, and almost ran into a 10-foot Christmas tree.

I’m sorry...did I miss Novem-ber? Is that why it’s so cold?

No. We are in the thick of a won-

derful time that used to be a world coated in cute traced hands with beaks drawn on the thumb and canned cranberry sauce galore!

Now, all I see is crappy Christmas albums and tacky trinkets for sale left and right.

While Christmas is a very important Christian holiday, Thanksgiving is an American tradition based around the original residents of this land accepting and helping those about to destroy them.

OK, that doesn’t make it

sound so wonderful, but at the time, the three-day feast was a wonderful bonding experience and embraces the emotions this country was founded on.

A member of my family came over on the Mayflower (John Alden, look it up) and I don’t seem to understand what makes his memory get swept under the rug for a baby sleep-ing with livestock.

Thanksgiving seems to now be a kickoff to the holiday season followed by a romp-ing day of shopping for crazy discounts and fighting off the other mothers for that new Tickle Me Elmo... or whatever atrocious toys children play with these days.

Both of the holidays are im-portant in their own way, but one of them just doesn’t know how to behave anymore.

The holiday season encom-passes Christmas, Thanksgiv-ing, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and so on.

Yet Christmas, with all of its shiny tinsel, fuzzy stockings and reflective ornaments, takes over the season and snuffs out all of the other guys with a simple flick of the wrist.

What happened to the cute little pilgrim girls and Indian boys holding hands surround-ed by food and friends and love?

Christmas ate them, that’s what.

A few of my friends put up a Christmas tree and a few other Christmas decorations over two weeks ago.

They said when Halloween comes down Christmas goes up.

Christmas, you bloated, over-done disaster. Why can’t you

just stay where you belong, at the end of December, and let everyone else have a chance?

Don’t let this fool you. I do still enjoy Christmas

just as much as I did when I was a little girl.

I don’t get to see my extend-ed family often, especially with

the large age gap, so it’s always enjoyable to make fun of ev-eryone with everyone again.

However, Christmas, like all other things, has a time and a place and that time just hasn’t come yet.

Enjoy the Thanksgiving break and focus on the fact

that this is Thanksgiving, not just a precursor for Christmas when everything goes on sale.

When December rolls around, I will accept that it is indeed time for Christmas, but until the Egg Bowl comes to a close, Jesus and his birthday can wait.

The Oxford Parks Commis-sion’s youth flag football league held its inaugural Mayor’s Championship Series on Nov. 11 and Nov. 15 at FNC Park.

The series consisted of a play-off between the top four teams from each division. There were three age groups involved in the playoffs. The leagues are divided into ages 6-7, 8-9 and 10-12.

“With soccer the top two teams qualify for a district tour-nament and in baseball and softball kids have all-star tour-naments they can participate in, but with football there was real-ly no chance of postseason play before,” said Brad Freeman, di-

rector of FNC Park and a coach in the flag football league. “The kids were really excited to be playing in these games.”

“We thought it would be kind of fun to create our own post-season series with Mayor Patter-son presenting the trophy to the winners and have the pictures of the winning teams placed in City Hall,” said C.J. Ketchum, head of the MCS.

In the semifinal round on Nov. 11, the Ravens defeated the Saints 18-13, while the Chiefs topped the Raiders 19-13 in the 8-9 league. In the 10-12 league games, the Bears beat the Steel-ers 19-6, while the Giants de-feated the Cowboys 13-12. The Bears won over the Giants and the Jaguars defeated the Steelers

in the 6-7 league. The championship games

were played on Monday night with the Jaguars defeating the Bears 21-14 in the 6-7 league, The Ravens defeated the Chiefs 20-6 in the 8-9 league and the Bears won over the Giants 18-14.

The teams are drafted based on their skills shown at an ob-servation clinic held before the beginning of the season. “We try to separate the talent equally as much as possible,” Ketchum said.

Youth flag football is co-spon-sored by the NFL, Inc. in a pro-gram called NFL Flag. The pro-gram is designed to teach kids sportsmanship, teamwork, and football skills.

Inaugural Mayor’s Championship series a success

of 860.There are no foreseeable fu-

ture plans for the IHL to in-crease these requirements, but if enrollment throughout the state continues to increase as a whole, the University may receive higher admissions re-quirements.

“We aren’t making it difficult to get in,” Smith said. “If you make the requirements we as-sume you’re coming unless you say no.”

Unlike many other college campuses around the country who are raising their require-ments, Ole Miss is dedicated to accepting any and all students who meet the current require-ments.

Major publicity such as “The Blind Side,” the 2008 Presi-dential Debate, Cotton Bowl championships and SEC rank-

ings have all put Ole Miss on the map as a reputable school.

Since these major events, Smith has seen an overall in-crease in students applying from other states.

“The school went from about 32 percent to 35 percent this year out of state,” Smith said. “That makes us the most di-verse in terms of geography in the state of Mississippi.”

Along with big enrollment numbers come issues regard-ing the campus’ capacity in the classroom and dormitories. These are issues that admis-sions advisors are beginning to address.

Lucile McCook, instructor of biology 160, a freshman-based lecture class, said there has been a 21 percent increase in class enrollment since last fall, and they anticipate an-

other large percentage spike for next fall.

Biology 160, which corre-sponds to its laboratory class biology 161, has always been a two-section course, but this year, due to overcrowding in the classroom, a third section was temporarily implemented to accommodate students.

“It’s been challenging, but there are a lot of good students in the class,” McCook said. “It may come down to us hav-ing to convert other rooms or classrooms into laboratories. We’ve also started having Fri-day labs, which is something we have never had to do before. We may even have to start eve-ning labs.”

All departments are seeing increases in their classrooms, and while the University is pleased with the record break-

ing enrollment this fall, strat-egies and plans are already in the making to prepare the cam-pus for another large freshman class.

“We didn’t quite anticipate the number of applicants we got last year, and we didn’t quite anticipate the number of students who actually en-rolled,” Smith said.

The University can house up to 4,200 students on campus; however, if freshman enroll-ment continues to increase, housing for upper-class stu-dents will decrease on campus.

“It was incredibly fortuitous that we were able to build Cam-pus Walk,” Smith said. “With-out it, we would have been in big trouble.”

Currently the University is not facing overcrowding in the dorms, but Lorinda Krhut, di-

rector of student housing and residence life, is hopeful that within the next two years addi-tional housing on campus will be erected.

Smith recognizes that the in-creasing level of freshman en-rollment will bring changes to the University.

“I think eventually you have to begin to do what other schools have begun to do,” Smith said. “You either aggressively build, or you not so aggressively raise your standards.”

Admissions officers are still in the process of determining why there has been such a dra-matic number of applicants. A survey will be issued to all freshmen to determine what were the factors that went into selecting Ole Miss.

“We want to know why,” Smith said. “We want some

LIFESTYLES

The Alpha Omicron Pi professor appreciation night did not get off to a perfect start.

The tables had been set up wrong when the event’s host, elementary education senior Audrey Seal, the AOII Vice President of Communi-cation, arrived.

But she was saved by AOII’s group of houseboys, who showed up early.

“They had to switch the plates around at the last minute and make sure the dining hall was as neat as can be,” Seal said. “They are an awe-some group of guys.”

The AOII houseboys basically act as waiters in an upscale restaurant on Monday nights, dressing up for the event and serving the courses, which the women plate themselves. They also get requests, said AOII head houseboy, Greg Richard, who has been an AOII houseboy for three years.

“The kinds of things we get asked for are like ketchup for shrimp, milk and random things like honey mustard for roast beef,” Richard, a biology senior, said. “The strangest thing I’ve ever been asked for was honey mustard to dip rolls in.”

Houseboys are also responsible with making sure the girls have drinks — water, tea and even cof-fee.

“You never want to be the first one to be asked for coffee,” Richard said. “It seems like if one person or-ders coffee, every girl will want cof-fee. We never serve a few cups, it is none or all.”

Over at the Delta Delta Delta house, the houseboys work formals on Monday and Wednesday nights before chapter meetings, but they are also present at the other meals the house serves. Tri Delta head houseboy and three-year houseboy veteran, Thom Hunter Pratt, said the extra work is not so bad because there are a lot of houseboys.

“There are basically two shifts, from 11 a.m. to noon, and noon to 1 p.m.,” Pratt, a senior double ma-joring in history and English, said. “And there are some who stay the whole time.”

On non-formal nights, the Tri Delta houseboys are the go between from the kitchen to the buffet table, making sure everything comes out and stays stocked. They also keep it clean during the meal, and return the leftovers to the kitchen once all of the girls are finished.

“Everyone works together to make sure there is not too much work on one person,” Pratt said. “When everyone is here, we get the work done really fast and spend a lot of the time at the table talking to each other.”

What They GetPratt and senior Gabriel Stanley,

who has been a Tri Delta houseboy for three years, agreed that getting free meals at the Tri Delta house was a really good deal for what they do.

“It helps out a lot with the gro-cery bill,” Pratt said. “That is a big

expense for a college student.”But Stanley said that there was

more to it.“It is an all-around good experi-

ence,” Stanley said. “Ole Miss is rated year after year for having the prettiest co-eds, and Tri Delta is the biggest and most prestigious soror-ity.”

Stanley, who did not pledge, joked that Tri Delta was the best and toughest fraternity to get into.

“I wouldn’t say that,” Pratt said. “But it is good to get to eat with the girls.”

At the AOII house, Richard and freshman Michael Leday agreed that there was more to it than just getting free meals.

“On paper, we get free meals here,” Richard said. “But there is more to it for me. I am getting more friends and building relationships, so for me, it is a networking thing.”

Leday said he agreed that being a houseboy was a good gig.

“You get to eat at all of the house meals, and you get to meet girls,” Leday said. “I can’t complain.”

Broadcast journalism major and junior Gabby Gero, an AOII member, said that the girls do form friendship with the houseboys.

“I am friends with some of the houseboys,” Gero said. “We do hang out away from the chapter meetings.”

Why they got into itLeday joined recently to do some-

thing different, and he picked AOII because he had a friend who joined.

“It is my first semester here, and she talked me into it,” Leday said. “She put in a good word, and I got in.”

Pratt and Stanley also got involved because of friends.

Pratt said he went to junior col-lege first, so that he could play base-ball.

“When I got here, I was too old to pledge,” Pratt said. “A girl I went to high school said I should at least be a houseboy.”

Stanley, like Leday, joined as a freshman for something different to do.

“I lived with a guy who was a houseboy,” Stanley said. “He got me into it.”

Richard’s story was similar.“I was coaxed into joining by a

friend, who is now my roommate,” Richard said. “I had nothing to do on Monday nights, so I figured I may as well come out and get free meals out of it.”

Gero said using connections to get in is a good thing — it makes the girls and guys feel more com-fortable.

“We usually find people who are already friends,” she said. “We do this so it is not awkward for them, or us.”

The ExperienceThe girls are very appreciative of

the work the houseboys do, said Pratt. Katherine Johnson, an Eng-lish junior and Tri Delta member, agreed.

“I love our houseboys,” Johnson said. “Ours are the coolest.”

Freshman journalism major and AOII member Katura Finn said it was great to have the houseboys there on Monday nights.

“I love having them here,” Finn said. “They are all so nice, and they help enrich the experience of the meals.”

The BarrierPratt said while it is nice to get

to eat with the girls, there is often a

barrier at the house.“I believe they think we sit over

here and make fun of them for what they eat, or if they go back for sec-onds, when we don’t,” Pratt said. “It is just a self-conscious thing.”

Another reason Pratt felt like there is a barrier is because they feel guilty.

“They feel bad,” Pratt said. “They think what we are doing is a chore, but we get free food and the work is not bad at all.”

When Stanley started three years ago, he said the barrier was not as bad.

“I don’t know if it was the specific group of house boys and girls back then, or what, but there was not as much of a divide back then,” Stan-ley said.

Stanley added that the spring se-mester is usually better than the fall one.

“There is a new group of girls coming in every fall,” Stanley said. “It is understandable that they would be more uncomfortable, since they are going through a new experience.”

The barrier is completely broken when they meet out on the Square, Pratt said.

“It is not the same when we see Tri Delta girls out on the Square,” Pratt said. “They all recognize us as houseboys and they come up, and we talk to each other. There is no

social barrier.”Stanley said he had a similar expe-

rience out on the Square, especially later in the night.

“When we are out, it is cool,” Stanley said. “We all hang out if we see each other.”

Elementary education major and junior Meredith Meadows agreed that things were easier on the Square.

“When we are out, they see us, and we are like BFFs,” Meadows said.

Meadows agreed that there was something of a mental barrier.

“I feel like they think there is,” Meadows said. “But it is just in their heads.”

She put the blame on the boys, but said she understood.

“I know I would be uncomfort-able if I was a house girl at a frater-nity,” Meadows said.

Richard said he had broken the barrier for himself at the AOII house, which is not always a good thing.

“I am legit friends with many of the girls,” Richard said. “Which can be a bad thing — they will be more likely to say, Greg, get me this, or that.”

Not that he is complaining about it.

“Being friends with the girls is what keeps me here,” Richard said.

It may seem hard to believe, but next week marks the three-

year anniversary of when Hous-ton Nutt was hired to become the 36th head coach of the Ole Miss football program.

And amid all the hoopla that surrounded his hiring, one mem-ory from that day has remained in Nutt’s mind.

“The very first thing that was said to me after my very first press conference when I arrived on campus was beat LSU,” Nutt said.

“That was a real message to me. I thought that was real interest-ing.”

The Rebels (4-6, 1-5 SEC) travel to Baton Rouge this week-end for their final away game of the season on Saturday to face the No. 5 LSU Tigers (9-1, 5-1 SEC) in a game that will be televised on CBS at 2:30 p.m.

While 2010 has certainly been the most difficult season thus far in the Nutt era, the Rebels still have the opportunity to defend back-to-back Magnolia Bowl ri-valry wins.

“I love the rivalry games,” sophomore wide receiver Melvin Harris said. “It’s going to be a big stage and it doesn’t get any better than that.”

In 2008 Ole Miss defeated LSU 31-13 in Death Valley, and the Rebels were again victorious last year in Oxford as Ole Miss pulled out a 25-23 win over the then No. 8 Tigers.

“We can’t worry about the past,” Harris said. “We have to go out with the right mentality thinking that we’re going to win and just play football for 60 minutes.”

The Tigers have been successful this season in large part because of their defense led by junior All-American candidate, cornerback Patrick Peterson, who has three interceptions on the year.

LSU’s physical defense is tops in the Southeastern Conference in total defense – holding No. 1 Auburn to its second lowest point total all year – and ranks fifth in the nation in that category.

“They’ll probably be the best

(defensive backs) I’ve faced all year,” Harris said. “I just want to step up to the challenge.”

For the Rebels to win three straight over the Tigers, Harris said the Rebels can’t afford to get off to a sluggish start.

“They’re a great team and have only lost one game, which was to the No. 1 team in the nation (Au-burn) so obviously they’re pretty good,” he said.

“If we have a good start I feel like we’ll be in the game for four quarters.”

In order to reach a bowl game for the third consecutive year, the Rebels must defeat both the Ti-gers and rival Mississippi State on Nov. 27

“We know what’s at hand,” senior defensive end Jerrell Powe said. “We’ve got to win these next two ball games to get to a bowl game so I don’t think anyone is down. I think everybody is stay-ing upbeat. We have to take care of business. It’s a must win to get to where we want to go.”

BY JOHN HOLTThe Daily Mississippian

Rebels look for third-straight Magnolia Bowl win

It’s gut check time for the 2010 Ole Miss football team.

With two games left, the Reb-els find themselves needing to win both of their remaining games to earn a third straight bowl appear-ance under coach Houston Nutt.

The quest for six wins and a bowl game continues Saturday as Ole Miss travels to Baton Rouge to take on one-loss LSU.

The Tigers are coming off a 51-0

win over Louisiana-Monroe, and the week before earned a “signature win” over Alabama that provided a summary of the Tigers’ season in one game.

LSU played great defense, did enough offensively to stay in the game, converted a fake field goal and Les Miles looked on from the sidelines while chewing some Tiger Stadium grass. Nutt has had LSU’s number the past two years at Ole Miss, but it will take some magic for the Rebels to make it three sea-sons in a row.

Here’s what Ole Miss must do to take down LSU in Tiger land:

Make LSU throw the footballIf there’s been one area of concern

for LSU this season, it’s been at the quarterback position.

The Tigers have two options in Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee, and neither one have been close to decent. LSU has the 113th ranked passing offense in the country, and as much as the Ole Miss defensive secondary has struggled in ‘10, this game would seem to be Jefferson’s and Lee’s best chance at a breakout game. If the Rebels can clog the running lanes and force the Tigers to throw the ball, Ole Miss has a chance in the ball game.

Establish Masoli early

I’m all about running the foot-ball successfully to set up the pass, but last week’s debacle in Knoxville made the importance of getting Masoli into a rhythm painstakingly clear.

If Ole Miss can connect on some timing patterns on the first drive or two, Masoli can get into a comfort zone which will also open up the running game for Brandon Bolden and Jeff Scott.

Of course, passing on LSU is eas-ier said than done with do-it-all de-fensive back Patrick Peterson roam-ing the Tigers’ defensive backfield.

The Rebels should take advantage of Peterson playing on Melvin Har-ris and look for Markeith Summers, Ja-Mes Logan and others instead.

Generate pressure and force turnovers

This will be big for Ole Miss on Saturday. The Rebels can’t afford to not play opportunistic, heads-up football and still pull off a win against the Tigers. With Jason Jones emerging as a legitimate pass rush-ing threat along with D.T. Shackel-ford, Ole Miss still has the person-nel to put together a solid pass rush. While Jefferson might struggle passing the ball, he’s still an effec-tive runner which makes it essential to put pressure on the quarterback. If the Rebels can generate pressure with their front four, that allows a linebacker to keep his eyes on Jeffer-son and prevents him from rolling out and taking off for cheap yards.
