COM David Jackson Williams’ ap- peals attorney, David Hill, said it was the correct legal decision for the Mississippi Supreme Court to overturn Williams’ 2007 murder conviction and allow him a new trial. Hill said the original trial attor- ney was not allowed to offer the jury that Demetria Bracey, whom Williams was convicted of killing, had killed herself in a suicide pact she entered into with Williams, a pact that Williams was unable to complete. “It is the correct decision, apply- ing the established legal principles to the facts of this case,” Hill said. “The jury should have been in- structed and given guidance by the court in their ability to define as- sisted suicide.” Hill said if the jury had been given this guidance, the evidence could have supported giving Wil- liams, who is currently serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary, a lesser offense of assisted suicide. Presiding Justice George Carl- son said during Williams’ hearing that a hypothetical juror could find Williams guilty of the lesser offense, based on seven pieces of evidence. Evidence included conflicting expert testimony as to whether Bracey committed suicide; Bracey and Williams were depressed, ro- mantically involved individuals who entered into a suicide pact; Williams had assisted Bracey’s plan by getting all of her money out of her back account, so her mother could access it upon her death; Williams had purchased beer to aid in the suicide pact; the two had been hiding in Williams’ apart- ment days before the act; Williams had provided the kitchen knives; Williams said Bracey stabbed her- self. In his dissent, Chief Justice William L. Waller said he saw no evidence to support the assisted- suicide instruction requested by Williams. “Even viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to Williams, no reasonable jury could find him guilty of assisting suicide ‘without resorting to speculation or conjec- ture’ as to the meaning of the evi- dence,” Waller said. Waller said Williams had to demonstrate that Bracey commit- ted suicide and that he helped her. “The only evidence Williams presented at trial to support his assisted-suicide theory was that he and Bracey had formed a mutual agreement to commit suicide to- gether — a suicide pact,” Waller said. “The plain meaning of a sui- cide pact — a mutual agreement to die at the same time — does not suggest encouragement or as- sistance of suicide as contemplated by (the law).” Waller also said because there was strong evidence of the murder charge, Williams was not entitled to a jury instruction on the lesser offense, assisted suicide. The Court of Appeals, which found no evidence to warrant the assisted suicide statute in April, had a similar reading of the law to Waller, but Carlson said the Court of Appeals applied the facts of this case in too narrow a manner to the broad language of the assisted-sui- cide statute. The law, in Mississippi Code Section 97-3-19(1)(a)(Rev. 2006) states that a person who willfully, or in any manner, advises, encour- ages, abets or assists another person to take, or in taking, the latter’s life, or in attempting to take the latter’s life, is guilty of a felony.

Presiding Justice George Carl-son said during Williams’ hearing that a hypothetical juror could fi nd Williams guilty of the lesser offense, based on seven pieces of evidence.

Evidence included confl icting expert testimony as to whether Bracey committed suicide; Bracey and Williams were depressed, ro-mantically involved individuals who entered into a suicide pact; Williams had assisted Bracey’s plan by getting all of her money out of her back account, so her mother could access it upon her death; Williams had purchased beer to aid in the suicide pact; the two had been hiding in Williams’ apart-ment days before the act; Williams had provided the kitchen knives; Williams said Bracey stabbed her-self.

In what could have been a positive end to a disappoint-ing season, Ole Miss fell 31-23 to in-state rival No. 25 Missis-sippi State Saturday night in the Egg Bowl at Vaught-Hem-ingway Stadium.

It marked the second-straight Egg Bowl win for the Bulldogs (8-4, 4-4 SEC) and their first in Oxford since 1998.

The United States’ budget is a qualifi ed disaster.

According to the fi gures provided by Of-fi ce of Management and Budget, the Presi-dent’s budget proposals for fi scal year 2011 total $3.83 trillion.

Three point eight trillion dollars. Of that obscene amount of money, only

$2.5 trillion is expected to be money paid into the Treasury in the form of taxes and tariffs and whatever other methods we em-ploy to acquire currency. That equals out to a $1.2 trillion defi cit for FY 2011 alone.

That fi gure represents 8.3 percent of our national GDP, and means we will be borrow-ing that much money (from China) to cover our expenses for the coming fi scal year.

And this is just what the president pro-posed. I’m not entirely sure if there even is a FY 2011 budget that has been passed by Congress yet. If there has, the numbers are almost assured to be even higher in terms of the size of the defi cit and the percentage of GDP it represents.

I’m not an economist, and I know a good chunk of y’all aren’t either, but even those of us who’ve maybe seen a $100 bill three or four times in our entire lives know that when roughly a third of your budget relies on borrowed money, you’ve got a serious problem, and you need to fi x it.

This is a viewpoint recognized by every-

one who doesn’t go by the name Paul Krug-man. All the other nations that implemented bank bailout and stimulus programs, most notably the UK and Germany, have made it clear that since the economists agree that the recession is over and that positive growth is occurring (however minutely), it’s time to stop spending at an insane level and start making cuts.

At last weekend’s G20 summit in South Korea, British Prime Minister David Cam-eron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel made clear to President Obama they do not support further stimulus measures and be-lieve it’s time for more fi scal responsibility.

I’m very much inclined to agree. The question becomes, what are we spending so much money on that we can cut quickly?

USA Today ran an article in May high-lighting the rising costs of the war in Af-ghanistan, which is estimated to cost $117 billion for FY 2011 – part of $895 billion in “security” spending outlined in the OMB fi gures – compared to a “mere” $46 billion for the remaining operations in Iraq.

Here’s a prime opportunity for savings to be made, the troops supported, and for poli-ticians to learn a lesson from history: You cannot win in Afghanistan. If Alexander the Great and the mighty Soviet Red Army couldn’t do it (and the latter spent most of the 1980s trying), there’s just no point to

having 102,000 U.S. servicemen and wom-en over there. Obviously, Osama’s no lon-ger there, so why are we? Bring back all the troops out of those countries, down to the last “adviser” and “trainer” and immediately save $163 billion.

Secondly, we have to stop nation-build-ing. Domestic policy of other nations has never been our business, so we should stop minding theirs and start paying better atten-tion to ours. Stop subsidizing failure. We’re under no obligation that I’m aware of to spend any money at all on international de-velopment, so why should we?

Thirdly, it’s ridiculous to refuse the option of raising taxes. Right now, income tax lev-els are at their lowest in a good many years. Raising them, especially on high earners, is an obvious solution to increasing income and thus reduce the defi cit.

If someone can think of a single compel-ling reason behind not raising taxes on bil-lionaires to at least 40 percent, it’ll be the fi rst one I’ve ever heard.

Beyond these three principles, there’s a discussion that needs to be held on funda-mental reforms that are needed on domes-tic spending in this country, specifi cally on welfare and other government benefi ts, but I’m afraid I don’t have the column inches to spare to start it. Perhaps after the break.

Solving America’s Budget Crisis

BY BRANDON IRVINE Columnist

Since I moved away from home, conver-sation with my friends and boyfriend has become extremely important to me. Thus, I will condemn myself and say that I am a proud junkie of social media.

You will see me constantly switching tabs between Facebook and math quizzes, chat-ting, messaging or fi nding new games to play like Why? What’s up? on our statuses.

We laugh about our day and rant about the unfairness of the society. We even start movements across the globe by creating groups and events.

Ten percent of all our Internet time is dedicated to social media, 5 billion minutes is spent on Facebook and it shares 5 billion pieces of content each week. People have even used Facebook as a tool to see how an employee truly acts like out of the business atmosphere.

Social media became the power up when it came to surfi ng the Internet. It gives us a chance to create a world of our own. So what would happen if we lived three days without it? Simple answer: Our world would end!

At least, mine did. Originally, I thought it was a glitch in the

system. Sorry Ole Miss, but we are not MIT

when it comes to a fl awless Internet con-nection. Cisco and I have been in the box-ing rink with each other too many times to become best friends. And at that moment, it had me in a headlock by not allowing through the pearly gates of information.

So, it was back to the middle school, primitive time when I had limitations on the Web due to dial up. With all of this phenomena happening in a weekend when I, for once, wasn’t drowning in homework, I felt like I was abandoned on a stranded island dying of boredom.

My soul was becoming malnourished without the gossip of what’s going on in the world and my cell phone was my only form of life support giving me only a trick-le of what was going on behind the black screen.

When Monday rolled around, I fi gured out that the blame wasn’t the University’s connection; it had something to do with my computer. I complained to a friend about how much I was aggravated with the situation and that I am not Bill Gates when it comes to technology. She invited me to chill with her and her roommate while us-ing her laptop.

Now before this event I knew little about

my friend, but once I sat down and began talking with her, I found out that we were a lot alike.

We love the same music, like the same movies like Treasure Planet and Aladdin, and agreed to see the new Harry Potter movie with each other. We both dreamed big and were stubborn to just let them go. What I did not get out of her 50-minute class I fi gured in our hour conversation.

So once the IT center fi xed the problem by just the touch of a couple buttons , I ad-mitted to myself that maybe I should be a more social just not on the web, but in real life also. Don’t get me wrong, social media is awesome. It’s just when you end up abus-ing it so much that you don’t go outside the Internet realm that will hurt your char-acter.

So, if you were like me and held yourself captive in your room on Facebook or Twit-ter, maybe it’s time to shut down the laptop and make and start making some real con-nections through a group, team, or sorority. If you don’t gain a friend the fi rst day, then don’t lose hope because someone wise once told me that your best friends will just fall in your lap. I can promise you that those words are true.

The Study of Nails by Chris Le & Steve Le

9:30 am - 7:00 pmMonday - Saturday

REBEL RADIO —92.1 fm —

Midterms have come and gone, finals are drawing near and Ole Miss students’ usage of Attention Deficit Disorder medications are in full swing.

With the pressure to perform well, some students resort to taking ADD medications even when the drug isn’t prescribed to them.

Barbara Collier, director of the University’s health services, said she believes students take the medica-tions, thinking it will enhance their test grades.

“From what I read across the country, ADD medications are the most-abused drug on campus,” Collier said. “Students do it because they don’t study daily, and they think it will help their grade.”

Police investigator Bobby Black has been working with the issue of campus ADD medication abuse and said that students don’t real-ize the severity of taking controlled substances that are not prescribed to them. He says students feel like it’s OK to just give one or two to their roommates even if it’s not pre-scribed to them.

“They think just because some-

body gives it to them, it’s not a problem and that it won’t affect them,” Black said.

Students can face serious conse-quences for distributing or possess-ing ADD medications. A student caught giving out medications would be considered the same as selling a controlled substance, and there is a criminal penalty. A stu-dent caught with any type of con-trolled substance who doesn’t have a prescription would be considered the equivalent to possession of an il-legal controlled substance, and faces a possible criminal penalty as well.

“If a person is caught under ei-

ther circumstance, it’s going to stay on their record for the rest of their lives, and both have hefty penal-ties because they are both felonies,” Black said.

Students’ health is also put into jeopardy using ADD medications.

“Students can be told the drugs are one thing and end up be-ing something else,” Collier said. “There’s no way to tell what’s going to happen.”

The side effects of taking ADD medications are increased heart rate, nausea, inability to concentrate, seizures, hypertension, psychosis, depression, insomnia, nervousness

and overstimulation. Long-term side effects are weight

loss, headaches, jerkiness, irregular heartbeat, blood problems, rash and vision disturbances.

Freshman Parker Williams has been on ADD medications for a year now and has finally found the right medication that suits her needs and has minimal side effects.

“I just found the right medica-tion for me after trying a couple other ones,” Williams said.

“People just don’t understand the risks, and they don’t understand what it can do to them emotionally and mentally.”

Pressure to perform encourages stimulant sharing

On Mississippi State’s next offensive series, the Rebel de-fense forced the Bulldogs to punt, which provided Ole Miss a chance to send the game into overtime.

The Rebels began their fi-nal drive on their own 11-yard line with 2:30 remaining in the contest. However a series of in-complete passes by Masoli and a 15-yard illegal block penalty from freshman offensive line-man Patrick Junen doomed the Rebels’ chances at a come-back.

“I really felt like the look in our guys’ eyes was that we were going to score,” Nutt said of the final offensive drive. “We had a lot of momentum from the last previous drive.”

After back-to-back Cotton Bowl wins, the Rebels’ fin-ish will be at home during the postseason, while the Bulldogs will be playing in their first bowl game since a win over Central Florida in the 2007 Liberty Bowl.

“The thing I appreciate about them is their ability to fight,” Nutt said of this year’s team. ”They kept fighting all

through the year when they could have easily let go of the rope. They kept fighting till the end.”

The Ole Miss Film Society offers a place for cinema-lov-ing folks.

All-inclusive and welcoming of undergraduates, graduates, recent graduates and non-stu-dents, the Ole Miss Film Soci-ety provides a time and meet-ing place every other week for movie-watching fun.

The only requirement is a love of film.

However, this club is not just for the generically-minded movie “geeks” out there.

These people attend not only because they like classic movies, but because they also want to experience unique or foreign films.

They want to appreciate the oddities and importance of cinematography.

They watch films because they take pleasure in them. These people take their cinema seriously.

“What makes The Ole Miss Film Society so great is that those involved are so open to different types of cinema from different time periods and cul-tures,” said Alan Arrivee, fac-

ulty advisor for the society and assistant professor of cinema at the University. “I recently pre-sented De Sica’s ‘Umberto D.’ to the group along with a brief intro to Italian Neorealism and was pleasantly surprised by how interested they were to learn about it. They’ve challenged me to present something even less mainstream next time.”

The society is headed up by Ryan Pierce, president and founder, who is a senior reli-gious studies major and Aman-da Malloy, a recent graduate of the University with a Liberal Studies emphasis.

“Every other Wednesday, we meet in Bishop 209 at 8 p.m. Each meeting, one student, chosen randomly by the stu-dent who hosted the last meet-ing, gets to present a film they either think is important and that they are eager to share or a film they have always wanted to see,” Malloy said.

Usually, the student who presents that night will do re-search pertaining to the film for a brief presentation on the chosen film, considering things such its context, actors and directors.

The meetings usually consist

of 15-20 people, and there are also scheduled presentations from faculty members.

“Anyone who comes to a meeting is eligible to host and although all the spaces are filled for this semester we will continue showing films next semester and have discussed having a possible mini film fest, where students pick up to eight movies to be shown in one weekend,” Malloy said.

The Ole Miss Film Society’s next scheduled meeting is for Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. in Bishop 209.

the 31-23 final score. The Rebels’ shoddy second-

ary was victimized again, this time by Mississippi State quar-terback Chris Relf, Relf, not known for his passing ability, threw for a career-high 288 yards. The Bulldogs also found success running the football, totaling 210 yards on the ground.

“We didn’t get it done, that’s the bottom line,” said UM defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix. “(Mississippi State) made good calls at the right time, but we still should not have been gashed on some of those plays. Once again, we were not assignment sound.”

Besides missed assignments, another disturbing trend for

the Rebels in 2010 was a pen-chant for giving up big plays on defense.

That was an issue again on Saturday, as Mississippi State was highly successful with screen passes that turned into big plays. Bulldog freshman running back LaDarius Perkins caught two of those screens and turned them into touchdowns, while Relf had a 71-yard run in the second quarter.

“One thing that stood out again in the first half were the big plays Mississippi State was able to hit,” said Nix. “We gave up several in the first half and a couple in the second half. The screen passes hurt us and were a big part of those explo-sion plays.”

It was blatantly obvious Sat-urday that the Ole Miss de-fensive players seemed much slower than the offensive play-ers they were trying to contain. Nix said a lack of speed and overall talent on the defense is an issue that will need to be addressed in the offseason.

“We are going to have to continue to assess the speed as-pect in recruiting, but it’s not just recruiting; it’s kids learn-ing to play fast as well,” Nix said. “Some guys are a 4.6 (in the 40-yard dash), but if they play with passion and desire and play at 4.6 every snap, they can make a lot of plays that guys who run a 4.5 incon-sistently can’t make.”

Ole Miss was forced to play

many young players this year because of injuries and the in-effectiveness of certain veter-ans, something that Nix said was detrimental to the defense, along with a lack of leadership on the unit.

“The biggest thing was lead-ership,” Nix said. “We didn’t

feel like we had a true bell cow throughout the season and it showed in a lot of adverse situations. We also didn’t have enough playmakers. We didn’t seem to develop a player, or more, who we felt was going to be a force for us week-in and week-out.”

In the week leading up to the 107th meeting between Ole Miss and Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl, Rebel coaches said that after last year’s loss in Starkville they fully realized the importance of the rivalry game. They spoke of an Ole Miss team that was focused, energized and looking to end the season with momentum

going into 2011. Unfortunately for the Rebels,

that emotion and passion was not enough to overcome the on-field deficiencies that have plagued Ole Miss all season.

A furious fourth-quarter ral-ly made the score close and the Rebels had a chance to tie the game on their final drive, but Ole Miss’ defensive struggles were not accurately reflected in
