On March 30, the Ku Klux Klan will hold a rally on the steps of Memphis’ federal courthouse to protest the re-naming of Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park. Nathan Bedford Forrest is notoriously known as the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.

There has been both fervent support for and opposition to the renaming of the park. The park, formally known as Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park, is now temporarily named Health Sciences Park.

After reading some of the articles on this event, I began asking myself some questions. What effect will changing the name of the park have? Then I thought, if changing the name of the park will not change the historical implications it pos-sesses, why change it?

After considering these questions, I read about the

psychological nature of sym-bols. In the article “The Social Function of Symbols,” Brit-ish psychologist F.C. Bartlett presents three functions of so-cial symbols: “to facilitate the transmission of culture from group to group,” “to facilitate the preservation of groups” and “to promote the harmony of a group.” If the proposi-tions proposed by Bartlett are true, then the preservation of Nathan Bedford Forrest Park seems laden with sinister in-tent.

On the subject of the first function, I do not suggest that the history associated with any historical figures should be erased from the history books. I agree with the noted philoso-pher Edmund Burke when he said, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” However, if the purpose of the Nathan Bedford Forrest Park is to transmit culture — es-pecially the culture that For-rest represents — then I have a problem with that.

Forrest was a slave owner and an intimidator of African-Americans. I understand that individuals are multifaceted and complex beings and that

it is unfair to only view his life as the founder of the Klan. On the same note, I would argue that it is obvious that all the memorials and dedications were not erected because he was a great alderman. It is also possible that the memorials and dedications were erected because he was a great Con-federate leader. Obviously, I do not know the intent of each memorial; however, if I had to guess, I would say they stand as reminders of what Forrest stood for: white supremacy.

Regarding the second func-tion, Bartlett writes, “Not only does the symbol act power-fully in preserving a group or a group’s traditions when per-haps a first glance at society would suggest that they have disappeared, but it also does much at all times to preserve social harmony within an obvi-ously living and active group.”

To my knowledge, Forrest represents slave owners and white supremacists. I would speculate that some of the peo-ple who idealize Forrest hold some of the views that Forrest held. Are white supremacists the group of people we want to preserve? No.

I’m not suggesting eliminat-ing a group of people physical-ly, but I do support eradicating the ideals that white suprema-cists embrace. I would say the same about any group that preached racial superiority, no matter the race.

Finally, the third function as defined by Bartlett is “to promote the harmony of the group.” There is nothing in-herently wrong with promot-ing harmony within any group of people. However, if the idea that keeps the harmony is one that subjugates a group of peo-ple, then I believe the symbol or idea should become obso-lete.

Although the bulk of this column focuses on the Nathan Bedford Forrest Park in Mem-phis, let me make this personal for us as students at The Uni-versity of Mississippi. We have a collection of Confederate symbols on our campus. What does the preservation of these symbols on our campus say about us as a university and student body?

The power of symbols

Hosting the LGBT Law Symposium should make us proud

BY TIM ABRAM [email protected]

This past Friday the Univer-sity of Mississippi School of Law hosted its Third Annual LGBT Law Symposium, which highlighted an often overlooked area. Professionals from across the Southeast and beyond trav-elled to discuss a wide variety of issues that the LGBT communi-ty faces in our state, region and in the legal realm in general.

All too often in the Deep South, the debate regarding the LGBT community is too nar-rowly focused or not discussed

at all. This pigeon-holed fo-cus blinds us from addressing the complex issues the LGBT community faces and prevents us from doing so with an open mind. The symposium shed a much-needed light on all the different aspects and issues of the LGBT community and sparked forward-thinking con-versations, as well.

Guests, including practicing attorneys, law students, under-graduates, social workers and members of the general pub-lic, all walked away from the symposium with a better un-derstanding of Mississippi and Federal laws regarding LGBT issues. This enriching experi-ence was due in no small part to the quality of the presenters and speakers.

As OUTlaw president Caro-

line Haas noted, they were “top-notched and presented their materials with great passion and clarity.”

The symposium couldn’t come at a more topical time as the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral argu-ments this week regarding the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California’s Proposition 8.

These cases will force the Su-preme Court to give a ruling on the legality of same-sex mar-riage. The court will also deter-mine whether DOMA is un-constitutional in allowing states to not acknowledge same-sex marriages from other states. Not acknowledging a marriage from another state because it is same-sex throws a legal curveball for all parties involved in terms of

finance law, wills and estates law, and a long list of others.

The symposium is a testa-ment of the law school’s con-tinued dedication to provide its students and the community the opportunity to explore the many facets of the law.

Having so many opportuni-ties to attend events on such a wide variety of topics is rare for any law school, but certainly one located in a small Missis-sippi town.

For this reason, and countless others, we should all take pride in being the home for Ole Miss Law.

Ole Miss graduate, he set up the award with $50,000 before his death.

part of a stimulating entrepre-neurial interest at Ole Miss,” Duke said.

Walking in the front door, you’re immediately greeted by a welcome desk on the right and a wall-mounted flat-screen TV and a state-of-the-art con-ference room on the left.

Duke said he splits the build-ing into four distinct compo-nents.

The incubator section on the west end of the first floor holds 30 offices, each surrounded by cloud-white walls and sleek, black counter space and wood office furniture. Among those offices is the one for Rigney and Broom’s baby business, Utah Raptor Games.

“Having a space that’s dedi-cated for work is crucial,” Rigney said. “Jonathan and I lived together, so we could have worked out of our apart-ment, but having a set sched-ule made us infinitely more productive and consistent.”

Upstairs you’ll find labora-tory space. The space includes three wet labs, two dry labs, community storage and of-fice space. The section also includes SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning En-vironment for Undergraduate Programs) lab space at the fur-thermost end of the building, with a view toward the mari-juana fields.

“It’s intended to be the step from laboratory experimen-tation and full-scale produc-tion,” Duke said. “They can take results from their lab and do small-scale production. In-stead of producing a million items per batch, they can pro-duce 10 or a hundred.”

Although the lab space does not yet have any tenants, the Hub has had prospective rent-ers who want to rent the entire lab.

“In our mind, we would like-ly have someone occupying this space related to biophar-macy,” Duke said. “The natu-

ral-product side of pharmacy.”Splitting the lab and the

multi-tenant section of the building is the 22-seat execu-tive conference room that has even been used by Chancellor Dan Jones. The room has a view overlooking the round-about right in front of the building, with Campus Creek apartment buildings peeking over the top of recently plant-ed trees across the street. It’s here that Duke perks up, talk-ing not just about the Hub but also about the future of Insight Park.

“The goal is to attract pri-vate-sector companies to come locate in the park and to either establish or continue relation-ships with the research enter-prise at Ole Miss, relationships with students and faculty and provide employment opportu-nities for graduates.”

Near the front of the office are four conceptual plans that depict what the rest of Insight Park could look like if it con-tinues to grow.

“I see the park as having huge, very appealing advan-tages,” Duke said. “We’re on the campus of Ole Miss, very accessible. We have residen-tial housing within walking distance. We have recreation, including bike lines and the intramural fields. It has every-thing from a mixed-use stand-point that would make this very, very appealing.”

Duke said he already has an ideal scenario laid out for the future of the park.

“We’ll have a company that will spring out of the univer-sity,” Duke said.

“It will be a faculty mem-ber, researcher, student or a combination of them. They will come here to nurture the growth of their start-up en-terprise in the incubator. As they continue to be successful, they’re going to need more space, so they’ll come to the multi-tenant side of the build-ing. Then at some point they’ll hopefully be big enough to need their own building with-in the park.”

Lastly, the building has

common space, including two seminar rooms that were used to hold the Innovation Boot Camp in preparation for this year’s business competition.

“The process of carefully evaluating their ideas and communicating those ideas is an invaluable experience for our students,” business school Dean Ken Cyree said of the boot camp.

“We have had several busi-nesses launch successfully from the competition, and every participant has gained wonderful insight into the business world through the competition. We are hopeful that this year will continue the tradition of successful business formation in addition to the academic rewards the students obtain.”

Once this year’s business competition is completed, those winners will have an of-fice space in the building as well.

Rigney recommends the Hub to anyone on campus or in the city who is thinking of starting a business.

“It’s run by smart, good people, and it’s totally top-of-the-line. Mississippi has few places like Insight Park, so Oxford-ites are incredibly lucky to have it as a potential resource.”

Spring-clean your closet

Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted an early spring, but anyone who has stepped out-side knows that the weather doesn’t seem to be warming up. Of course, living in Missis-sippi, we also know that tomor-row morning we could wake up to 80-degree humidity and a blazing sun on our backs, so it’s important that we prepare our closets.

It might seem inconvenient not to know what the weather will be like day to day, but this period of time is the perfect in-terim to purge your closet of the winter clothes and accessories you haven’t worn in a while. Go through your clothes, and, if you haven’t worn it all winter, it doesn’t fit you or it is ruined in some fashion (ripped, stained, faded, etc.), get rid of it.

Donate. Recycle. Toss it in the garbage. Whatever you feel is necessary, do it, but don’t keep it in your apartment.

The No. 1 problem most people run into when trying to declutter their closet is simply learning to let go. Often we have clothes that have sentimental value, that we spent a ridiculous amount of money on or that we just know will fit us again one day, but your space is limited. Stop hoarding and make way for new things.

A seasonal sweep — taking everything out of your closet, dusting and vacuuming — can help make the process easier. Replace everything, sort your clothes by color and keep your most-worn items in the front. This will make mornings easier, too, and who doesn’t love an ex-tra 15 minutes of sleep?

Organize your closet to keep scarves, cardigans and light jack-

ets handy. These pieces are best for layering, which is what you will be doing for the next month or so until the demonic heat of a Mississippi summer descends upon us.

Swapping wool and fleece for cotton and lighter fabrics is also smart. Keep one or two sweat-ers handy, but the rest can be moved to a storage area or the back of your closet.

Now is also the time to switch up accessories. Make sure to have a compact umbrella ready for spring showers, and trade your winter boots for wellies and ballet flats.

While we don’t usually think ahead as college students, spring-cleaning a closet also provides the perfect opportu-nity to begin preparing for next winter. Take your winter wear to a cobbler and get your hard-worn boots thoroughly cleaned and have repairs made. By the

time October rolls around, you’ll be ready to go with fresh, almost-new boots. Also, think about having the heels of your stilettos reinforced before spring and summer parties kick into full gear.

The best way to prepare your closet for spring is to invest in a good iron or garment steam-

er. After spending all winter swaddled in fleece, the fabrics of spring may surprise you with all of the wrinkles they acquire. As a college student, I suggest going for the steamer option. A decent one will only take a few minutes to heat up and can make your outfit sharp enough to make your 8 a.m. class.

While Mother nature may be unaware of the time of year, spring is actually here, and that means packing up the uggs and comfort colors sweatshirts to make room for all the warm-weather clothes you’ve been dying to wear.

quarterback during the fall and last spring to show his potential at the position with his impressive arm strength.

“I had to prove myself,” Miller said. “There was a lot of talk about me moving posi-tions, but me and the coaches never discussed it.”

During the spring, Miller is looking to master the offense and cement his place before two newcomers, DeVante Kincade, a four-star signee from Dallas, and Ryan Bu-chanan, a four-star signee from Jackson, show up in the summer.

“It’s just a learning experi-ence,” Miller said. “It’s good to go through your progres-sions every time. It’s going good so far.”

It appears that the winner of Brunetti and Miller’s fight will be the backup to Wallace come fall camp, but it is still up in the air how the two in-coming signees will factor at the quarterback position.

bruNetti ANd Miller bAttle while wAllAce recOversole Miss senior Barry Brunetti and sophomore Maikhail Miller are using spring practice to battle it out as both fight to be the backup quarterback for the rebels next fall.

After quarterback Bo Wallace’s first year in the Southeastern Conference, it seemed a far stretch that Ole Miss would have a quarter-back battle in spring prac-tice, but with Wallace re-habbing offseason shoulder surgery, senior Barry Bru-netti and sophomore Mai-khail Miller are battling it out for the backup spot.

Wallace started every game for Ole Miss this past season, throwing for 2,994 yards and 22 touchdowns. He was awarded the Con-erly Trophy as the top play-er in Mississippi, so filling in for him is going to be a tough task.

Many have speculated that Brunetti’s athleticism could lead to him playing another

position, but he has no wor-ries about getting on the field. He knows it will come.

“I prepared myself to play quarterback this spring,”

Brunetti said. “No mat-ter where, I feel like (head) Coach (Hugh) Freeze will find a way to put me on the field. I’m not worried about it.”

Brunetti talked about what he has to do early in the spring and what the spring means to him.

“(I’m) not really worried about the results, just wor-ried about controlling my attitude and my effort,” Brunetti said. “Every day is an opportunity to showcase what you can do. This is an-other chance.”

As for Miller, this is his second spring with Ole Miss, but last spring, most of the talk surrounding him was about potentially mov-ing positions.
