The William Winter Institute concluded its Summer Youth Insti-tute (SYI) leadership and commu-nity building camp Monday.

“The Summer Youth Institute came together after conversations with high school students from the Jackson-metro area,” Patrick Weems, Youth Coordinator for the Winter Institute and director of the SYI, said. Weems said the Civil Right Civil Liberties club, a high school group composed of stu-dents from St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, Jim Hill High School and Murrah High School, expressed in-terest to come together with other students from around the state who are actively having conversa-tion about social issues and taking direct action in their community.

The camp took place on the Ole Miss campus and included three field trips to Philadelphia, Jackson and the Mississippi Delta to learn about civil rights history.

“The trips were meant to em-power youth and encourage kids to apply what they learned in their own communities,” Weems said.

In Philadelphia, SYI participants visited the site of the 1964 murder of three civil rights workers, which was documented in the movie “Mississippi Burning.”

They also met with members of the Philadelphia Coalition, a group of citizens dedicated to bringing Philadelphia together for racial rec-onciliation, who later helped bring the perpetrators of the 1964 mur-ders to justice.

The students presented local

The campus physical plant is finishing its summer con-struction projects at the Uni-versity of Mississippi, less than a month before thousands of students return for the fall se-mester.

“We pick which areas we think need repairing the most,” physical plant project engineer Denny Buchanan said. “Then we try to schedule (the work) for summer.”

Parts of University Avenue, the Lyceum Loop and Library Lane are currently being im-proved.

With help from Lehman-Roberts Construction Com-pany, physical plant employ-ees are preparing to mill and repave the Circle, beginning at the four-way stop and con-tinuing around Lyceum Loop.

Lyceum Loop has been milled and workers are grat-ing the gravel so that it may be ready to be paved by today said Lehman-Roberts Esti-

mator and Project Manager David Houston, who is also in charge of the current con-struction work on Old Taylor Road, as well as projects to improve Jackson Avenue.

Recent rain could delay the paving process. However, Bu-chanan said everything should be completed in 5-7 days as the weather permits. The proj-ect began Monday, and was initially expected to have

been completed by this Fri-day.

“We’re going to return to Old Taylor road while that lay-er dries then complete Lyceum Loop on Monday,” Houston

said.Library Lane has been milled

as well, and should be paved and completed by its estimat-ed time on Thursday.

The campus project is bud-geted at $165,000, said the Chief Cost Accountant of the University of Mississippi Phys-ical Plant, Donna Mooney. However, it may not require the full amount.

“What we don’t spend, we will use on other projects around campus,” Buchanan said. “We pick what we think will benefit the appearance and the use of campus.”

Although the noise and

bustle of construction work-ers and equipment can cause minor disruption, some real-ize the necessary of summer construction projects.

“It’s needed to keep our campus looking good,” senior secondary education major Murphy Turner said.

“It’s needed to keep us at a competitive level with other schools around the country.”

The physical plant is also responsible for the newly re-paved Rebel Drive and Soror-ity Row, and will have other minor construction projects occurring throughout the school year.

Mississippi high school stu-dents needing financial aid for college recently received a boost from New York Giants quarter-back and Ole Miss alumnus Eli Manning.

Manning and his wife Abby recently donated $1 million to the Ole Miss Opportunity need-based scholarship program.

“Abby and I were drawn to this program of helping people who might not be able to attend col-lege otherwise,” Manning said, according to a university press release.

Ole Miss Opportunity was created earlier this year by the university; it allows prospec-tive students with an adjusted gross family income at or below

$30,000 to attend the University of Mississippi.

According to the press release, “the program fills the funding gap between all federal, state, institu-tional and private scholarship and grants awarded to a student.”

Freshmen entering the univer-sity in Fall 2010 will be the first class to receive aid from the pro-gram. More than 100 students have been selected, financial aid director Laura Diven-Brown said.

Students can continue to re-ceive aid from Ole Miss Opportu-nity for up to four years. Around 400 students would eventually be enrolled in Ole Miss through the help of this program.

Make Masoli a Rebel.COLUMN

BY JACOB FULLERColumnist

BY JOSH CLARKCartoonist

ADDISON DENTphotography editor

Just a few days ago, the quarterback sit-uation at Ole Miss looked like this: Na-than Stanley in the starting-role with one collegiate touchdown and sparse mop-up duty under his belt, with redshirt fresh-man Raymond Cotton and junior college transfer Randall Mackey ready to take over if Stanley cracked under the pressure of SEC football, like every other quar-terback we’ve had since Eli left for New York.

Now, it looks like the answer to the Rebels’ quarterback woe is: none of the above.

According to reports from several news-papers and websites interested in Ole Miss football, former Oregon-starting quarter-back Jeremiah Masoli may be a few NCAA formalities from joining Houston Nutt’s offense that looks in desperate need of a playmaker.

That is exactly who Masoli is. Last sea-son, he threw for 2,147 yards, 15 TDs and 6 Ints, rushed for 668 and 13 TDs and led his team to a 10-3 record, a Pac-10 title and a berth in the Rose Bowl.

The senior was removed from the Ducks’ squad after pleading guilty to sec-

ond-degree burglary for stealing laptops from a frat house and then being given a citation in June for less than an ounce of marijuana.

Despite his checkered past, Ole Miss should make every attempt to make Masoli a Rebel.

Masoli has fulfilled his debt to society for his crimes, which, let’s face it, aren’t exactly egregious offenses. He stole some laptops - like we haven’t heard that one before. Cam Newton is competing for the starting quarterback job at Auburn after being dismissed from Florida for the same thing.

Sure, fans of rival schools will make comments about him being a “thug” or a “convict”. They’re just jealous, and maybe a bit scared, that we might be getting a quarterback who’s got a 10-win season and a Rose Bowl under his belt.

A major college program is going to give this guy a second chance, so why not us?

Masoli has finished all of his undergrad-uate work and has successfully taken the GRE. That means, according to NCAA rules, that Masoli could bypass the one-year residency rule and play for the Rebels

in 2010 if he enrolls in a graduate pro-gram that Ole Miss offers and Oregon does not.

Prior to Raymond Cotton’s departure, Nutt said he was not interested in making Masoli a Rebel, but things change when you look at your team and you only have two scholarship quarterbacks, one with little college experience and the other, a junior college transfer, not yet on cam-pus.

Though he would only be a Rebel for one season, I think Masoli would be a great fit for Ole Miss. He can provide leadership and experience to an unexpe-rienced offense, as well as an accurate arm and quick feet.

And a year working with a seasoned quarterback who knows how to win could get Stanley and/or Mackey ready to take the reigns in 2011.

The addition of Masoli could take the Rebels from the team picked last in the SEC West, with high hopes shooting for seven wins and a December trip to Shreveport or Memphis, to a team that could earn another New Year’s Day trip to Dallas, or even better, Florida.

OBEYING THE LAW MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT THAN YOU THINK

COLUMN

BY MATTHEW HENRYColumnist

RECHARGING THE SPACE RACE BEFORE AMERICA LOSES FOR GOOD

There are tons of downright stupid laws in the state of Mississippi, but I’m pretty sure no one gets in trouble for breaking these anymore. The one peeve I have about these laws is the fact that they’re still laws.

Why won’t anyone remove these laws? They’re obviously outdated. Is there some sort of huge bureaucratic process in removing a law from the books?

Here’s a law that bugs me and is also kind of cruel, if you ask me: “Vagrancy is punishable by either 30 days in prison or a $250 fine.” First off, vagrancy is usually done by the homeless. It’s basically wandering around in public areas or illegally living in a public area. If someone is poor and homeless, I’m pretty sure if they had the opportunity to not live in the streets they’d take it. Luckily, vagrancy laws have been repealed in most developed countries, includ-

ing the United States. That also leads me to something else about

Mississippi laws that bug me: the tendency to not update our laws. Some Mississippi legisla-tors didn’t find it necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment (women’s right to vote), follow-ing the state votes that were required for it to become a federal law, which, of course, super-sedes all state laws.

Mississippi became the last state to ratify the amendment in 1984, after rejecting it in 1920. The ratification was purely symbolic, since women’s right to vote became the law of the land in 1920.

Still, that’s quite a distinction to have: the last state to ratify the 19th Amendment.

Here’s one that’s valid, but it’s also slightly disturbing: “Cattle rustling is punishable by hanging.” Cattle rustling (stealing cattle) has actually increased since the Great Recession. Cattle theft has actually tripled in the state

of Texas, and yes, there are some recent cattle theft cases in Mississippi.

I just can’t wrap my head around why any-one would be hanged for a crime like theft, cat-tle theft at that. Stealing cows must have been a huge problem when that law was written.

Here’s a silly one: “It’s illegal to teach oth-ers what polygamy is.” By the simple virtue of that law, that means the person who suggested the law should have been thrown in jail, be-cause they told someone else what polygamy is. I’m sure the law means it’s illegal to instruct on the values of polygamy, but if you explain polygamy to anyone, you’ve still pretty much broken that law.

This law is probably the dumbest to date: In Tylertown, it’s illegal to shave in the center

of Main Street. Seriously, how many guys (or women, for that matter) have ever shaved in a very public place? This sounds like some ran-dom person simply wanted this on the books.

Who carries a razor to shave with in the case that their facial hair grows while they’re out on the town? Seriously, that one is the dumbest of them all.

Here’s one that I’d actually like to see en-forced: “One may be fined up to $100 for using ‘profane language’ in public places.” Pro-fane language doesn’t necessarily bother me. Living on a college campus, what does annoy me is how comfortable some people are with using bad language in public. If you want to say every one of George Carlin’s “seven dirty words,” that’s fine, but no one should hear you say any of that in public. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been in a public area and heard someone say something incredibly crude and thought to myself, “Did she/he just say that!?”

While these may not be the worst laws in the nation, Mississippi definitely ranks high on the list (which is a rarity for us).

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the United States of America and the com-mercial space industry. Unfor-tunately, we are far away from zipping around the galaxy in fu-turistic spacecraft. However, we are entering a new frontier in our journey to space, one of a private space travel industry.

I wrote a few months ago on President Obama cutting the budget from the Constellation space program (the NASA pro-gram that was on track to replace the Space Shuttle program). At the time, I was very upset with the lack of direction for the Unit-ed States and NASA. Well, three weeks ago, the White House re-leased its new National Space Pol-icy and it sets forth a new, albeit vague, direction for the future.

I’ll spare you some of the boring policy details, but basically this policy hopes to shift space travel from a NASA operation to a pri-vate firm based operation. We’ve seen a good number of compa-nies testing space flight vehicles and several competitions for de-sign in the past decade. It is now the United States’ plan to begin to rely more on these companies than on NASA, except in cases involving national security which would preclude using the private sector. In addition, the policy also called for extending the life of the International Space Station until around 2020, which will allow humans to maintain a constant presence in Earth’s orbit.

I have been following some of the space industry, located mostly on the West Coast, for a while now to see what sort of direction they were going. While there is definitely a great deal of money being pumped into these proj-ects (what else would one of the rich Microsoft founders spend his money on?), they still have some time before they are ready for full-fledged commercial space flight. When you think about all of the testing and training that

goes into developing the space programs at NASA, you can be-gin to understand some of the barriers that the private sector face. I have no doubt that the growing space industry will rap-idly rise to the challenge, but it is going to take some time and an incredible amount of money. The space industry is going to first focus on low-cost, low-orbit flights for consumers in order to start making some of their money back. While the government will

pay them to deliver payloads into space, there is no real economic incentive for a company to de-velop deep space capabilities.

Even though this administra-tion has published an actual plan now, the direction is still vague. While it sets goals to rely more on the private sector and to in-vest more into research and de-velopment, it doesn’t set forth any concrete goals to achieve. I understand in today’s world space exploration is expensive and the

cost outweighs the benefits many times. I also understand that if we want to have a robust science and math education program in the United States, we need something like a strong space program for kids to strive for. I think what will happen in the end is we will not

have much of a space program, NASA or private, for the next five to eight years. In that time, other nations could very well surpass our capabilities. But maybe that is what we need, a little competi-tion to spur the next great Space Race.

“tough economic times it is impor-tant to emphasize accessibility and affordability.”

Diven-Brown also recognized these factors in the program, explaining that every student who met applica-tion requirements and deadlines re-ceived financial assistance from Ole Miss Opportunity, and that this aid applied to tuition, as well as housing and meals.

“We have heard from so many families who are just so grateful (for the assistance of Ole Miss Opportu-nity),” she said.

To be considered for the scholar-ship a student must be a Mississippi resident, U.S. citizen, an enter-ing freshman at the start of the Fall 2010 semester, seeking a degree and enrolled full time at Ole Miss, ac-cording to the Ole Miss financial aid website.

In addition to an adjusted gross in-come at or below $30,000, a student must also have at least a 2.5 GPA and qualify for a federal Pell Grant as determined by the 2010-2011 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA).

Larry Ridgeway, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he hoped the “generosity of the Mannings would get (the program) off to a good start.”

projects at the Evers International Airport during their visit to Jackson and met with local non-profit organizations.

In the Delta, participants went to Mon-ey, Miss. to the site where Emmett Till was murdered in 1955 after allegedly whistling at a white woman. SYI participants also met with the Emmett Till Commission, which is working to restore the courthouse where Till’s trial took place.

Twenty-eight rising high school sopho-mores and juniors from across the state participated in the SYI and posted their thoughts on the institute’s blog, which can be found at summeryouthinstitute.blog-spot.com. SYI was free to the participants, thanks to a Kellogg Foundation grant.

The camp was composed of workshops taught by current Ole Miss students and former William Winter interns, and fo-cused on community building, as well as the importance of storytelling, media and fund-raising.

“I enjoyed getting to talk to youth lead-ers in Mississippi about using the arts as a method of empowerment and social change,” Douglas Ray, Ole Miss English professor and SYI guest speaker, said. “They were an engaged, interested and interesting group of people. I am excited to see the work of the Winter Institute in exposing these young people to people and programs which allow them to realize their potential.”

The second phase of the Oxford Pathways project will begin in September with contrac-tor bidding.

This project is establishing new sidewalks, biking routes and paths throughout Oxford.

The first phase included building new path-ways along Molly Barr and Old Taylor roads, which began at the beginning of the summer.

The Oxford Pathways Commission was the driving force behind this project.

Their goal is to increase transportation and establish more opportunities of recreation among Oxford residents, as well as University

of Mississippi students. “The main bulk of this project is going to

extend bike lanes out of the center of town in four directions: South Lamar, North Lamar, Old Taylor Road and Highway 314,” said Kev-in McLeod, an engineer with Elliot and Britt, the design consultants for the project.

With the bid of contractors taking place Tuesday, Sept. 7, construction will take place four to six weeks later. This project is estimated at $2.4 million, and is also enabled by the Mis-sissippi Department of Transportation, Oxford Mayor Pat Patterson, the Board of Aldermen, Congressman Roger Wicker and Oxford resi-dents.

Rooster’s Blues House

1. Nick Saban: Nicholas Lou Saban has plenty of “haters” (many of them in Baton Rouge and Miami), but it’s impossible to argue that Saban’s approach to coaching col-lege football isn’t a sure-fire recipe for suc-cess. Players frequently get the boot for not buying into Saban’s rough and tough meth-odology, which leaves only those that buy into the “team concept.” Simply put, Saban is the best college coach in America.

2. Urban Meyer: The man that admitted to texting recruits at church services lands himself at No. 2 on my list after Saban put a whooping on the Gators in last year’s South-eastern Conference Championship game. Meyer needs to find his inner peace before he has another conniption fit; exploding at Orlando Sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler did nothing to prove that Meyer has toned it down.

3. Mark Richt: The dean of the SEC finds himself faced with somewhat of a make-or-break season. It’s not that Georgia has to win an SEC title for Richt to stay in Athens, but the Bulldogs do have to show progress – productivity in a new 3-4 defen-sive scheme and positive signs from first-year starter at quarterback Aaron Murray would help. If Richt can show that his team has a championship-caliber future in the next year or two, his job will be safe.

4. Houston Nutt: In 2008, the expecta-tions were buried somewhere in the dump-sters behind the Johnson Commons, but Nutt managed a nine-win season. There

were top-ten aspirations the next year, but things didn’t exactly work out. It’s difficult to judge Nutt’s teams in the preseason, but when he’s at his best, he’s top tier.

5. Bobby Petrino: It’s easy to question his loyalty, but Petrino has done a decent job at both of his collegiate stops. He’s proven he can win big as evidenced by his time at Lou-isville, but even with a high-flying offense, it will be difficult to dethrone Alabama in the West. Petrino must prove he can win big in this league before moving up in the rank-ings.

6. Gene Chizik: It wasn’t too long ago when college football prognosticators were tearing apart the Auburn brass for Chizik’s hire. Count me as was one of those doubt-ers; going 5-19 at Iowa State doesn’t exactly scream “sexy hire.” But Chizik won eight games in his first season, and he’s proven to be an ace recruiter – quickly gathering the top-flight talent necessary to make Auburn’s spread-option attack fully operational.

7. Steve Spurrier: These rankings are based on recent success, so Spurrier would obviously be ranked much higher if this were, say, ten years ago. Spurrier’s last two stops have been with the Washington Red-skins (dud) and the Gamecocks, where he’s had trouble replicating the offensive suc-cess he had at Florida. The ‘Ole Ball Coach should hang up the visor if he can’t win this year with a stacked team in Columbia.

8. Les Miles: It’s a “what you’ve done for me lately” kind of league, and Miles has failed

that test as of late. Miles’ most recent snafu was an ultra-embarrassing display of clock management futility in the final seconds of a loss to Ole Miss. “The Hat” later refuted claims that he had told quarterback Jordan Jefferson to spike the ball with only one sec-ond left. Video evidence clearly showed oth-erwise. Another season of mediocrity and Miles is geauxing out the door.

9. Dan Mullen: In his first year as the Bulldogs’ coach, Dan Mullen won five games, good enough for fourth in the SEC West. Mullen’s biggest win was against Ole Miss, and his next best triumphs were over Kentucky and Vanderbilt. Sure, there were close calls against LSU and Houston, but Ed Orgeron had plenty of those. Please, some-one tell me who pushed Nick Saban off of Bryant-Denny and made this guy king.

10. Joker Phillips: Not only does Phillips have the best name in the SEC, he also ap-pears to have a bright future in the league. While recently retired coach Rich Brooks

led Kentucky out of the conference’s dol-drums, Phillips was the architect as recruit-ing coordinator, helping to sign blue-chip talent such as Randall Cobb, Derrick Locke and Morgan Newton.

11. Derek Dooley: It’s been the differ-ence between a stripper and a saint in Knox-ville. With Lane Kiffin off to college football purgatory at probation-stricken Southern California, first-year coach Derek Dooley is charged with damage control. A recent battle royale involving several Volunteer football players at a local bar wasn’t exactly a great start to the Dooley era.

12. Robbie Caldwell: Bobby Johnson’s surprising departure means Robbie Caldwell is the man at Vandy. What do we know about Caldwell? He’s not related to Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell, he used to work on a farm where he artificially inseminated turkeys and finally, he’s going to have one heck of a time squeezing more production out of the lowly ‘Dores than Johnson.

Sophomore volleyball player Whitney Craven took a moment to remember just how many times she’d been on the All-American and All-tournament teams.

She laughed as she tried to count them all up. The final tally was eight years on All-American and four times on All-tournament teams.

While Craven may not keep up

with her awards, coach Joe Getzin does and is quite proud of his young star. He said she is one of the most decorated volleyball players in AAU history.

But Craven is not out for awards and recognition.

“It’s not about that for me,” she said. “I wouldn’t be able to do that without my team.”

The team is really what Craven is all about. The Louisville, Ky. native

said her decision to come to Ole Miss was due in large part to the girls on the team and her ability to meld with them effortlessly.

“Ole Miss has a beautiful cam-pus, but you can find a pretty cam-pus anywhere,” Craven said. “I re-ally loved the team. They are just awesome.”

Getzin was another factor in her decision to become Rebel. While Craven believes her high school ca-reer was outstanding, she chose to play for Getzin because of his dif-

ferent coaching style.“Coach took a direction my high

school coach didn’t, and I liked it,” she said.

Getzin’s different direction defi-nitely paid off for him. While she is just a sophomore, Craven’s experi-ence is a major contributing factor to the success of the Lady Rebels volleyball team, her coach said.

“Whitney brings a wealth of knowledge to the team,” Getzin said.

But Craven was adamant that

without her team she would not be able to do anything. Everything she gained was with the support of her teammates and their positive at-titudes.

Craven has faith in her team and their ability to succeed this upcom-ing season. Almost beating Florida last season has boosted the confi-dence of the team, she said.

“Knowing we could beat them and play on that level was great,” Craven said. “And we’ve improved from last season. There is no doubt in my mind we can’t win the West this year.”

The court isn’t the only place Whitney excels. She not only made the SEC All-Freshman team, but she made the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll. Craven ex-plained that her dedication to Ole Miss is full time.

“It’s an honor to go here, so I work hard,” she said. “It keeps me disciplined.”

Many of her teammates also made academic honor rolls. Ac-cording to Getzin, the volleyball team has maintained a 3.2 GPA for the past five years.

“The success in the classroom re-ally speaks to the character of the kids,” Getzin said.

Whitney, an exercise science ma-jor, said that after college she might enjoy helping out with a kid’s vol-leyball team, but she does not want to become a full-time coach. Al-though she dominates on the vol-leyball court, Whitney’s desire for her future requires more gentleness.

“I want to work with babies,” she said. “I want to go home and go to nursing school.”

Expectations be damned, Houston Nutt has proven through his 12-year SEC head coaching career that he deserves mention among the conference’s best.
