You’ve put in your time, and you have your diploma in hand. Now what?

With the faltering economy and the use of technology dis-placing workers, recent gradu-ates are finding it difficult to find gainful employment.

The number of new jobs requiring a college degree is less than the number of recent graduates from universities, so more and more graduates are filling jobs for which they are academically overqualified.

The number of people with bachelor’s degrees under the age of 25 who were unem-ployed or underemployed in 2011 was 1.5 million, or 53.6 percent. In 2000, the nation saw a low of 41 percent before the dot-com bubble bust.

This has led those with de-grees in physics, engineering and chemistry to take work in the food service industry and office-related jobs that do not utilize their respective educa-tion.

Graduates who are new to the work force have to compete with displaced workers, as well as more experienced workers who are willing to take a pay cut for entry-level positions. Companies are more likely to hire those with more experi-ence because they can get them cheaper. Today’s job market has more than enough experienced

and entry-level candidates for entry-level positions.

John Marsalas, 23, who will graduate from the University of Mississippi this year with a B.A. in theater arts, is one of the lucky ones. He received job offers after attending a theater convention but has seen first-hand the kind of competition awaiting him.

“There were a lot of people out there looking for the same job,” Marsalas said. “One place had 400 applications turned in for 28 positions. It’s very com-petitive.”

Marsalas said with the stiff competition, it was his char-acter that gave him the edge. An employer told him he could teach paperwork but not per-sonality.

Veronica Huffman, 22, a special education major, has decided to continue her edu-cation after going on multiple interviews and realizing the limited job opportunities. She has decided to go to graduate school for psychology.

One question being posed is whether too many people are going to college. There is pres-sure on students to go to a four-year university when it may not be the best option for the indi-vidual.

Charles Murray, political scientist and scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, responded to this question in The Chronicle for Higher Edu-cation.

“It has been empirically dem-

onstrated that doing well (B av-erage or better) in a traditional college major in the arts and sciences requires levels of lin-guistic and logical/mathemati-cal ability that only 10 to 15 percent of the nation’s youth possess,” Murray said. “That doesn’t mean that only 10 to 15 percent should get more than a high-school education. It does mean that the four-year residential program leading to a B.A. is the wrong model for a large majority of young peo-ple,” he said.

Michael T. Belongia, Profes-sor of Economics at Ole Miss, said the traditional reasons for attending college were to allow students to think analytically and enrich their lives by expos-ing them to the arts and other experiences that would broad-en their thinking.

However, if someone is at-tending college to simply get a job, Belongia said attending a community college would be the better choice.

“They would enter the labor force in two years rather than four or five, starting salaries in many fields would be higher and the overall economic cost of the training/education would be lower,” he said.

“That path, however, would not include the broader enrich-ment that is supposed to be part of a university education. There is no universal “best” choice that fits any high school graduate making a decision about his or her future.”

Bachelor’s degree or not, Amanda Walker, a recruiting coordinator at the Ole Miss Career Center, said students seeking success on the job hunt have to learn to sell themselves and not focus on one geograph-ic area.

“You have to be widely searching,” Walker said. “You are going to have to look across the United States. You need to be prepared to go through a six- to nine-month search.”

Most of the applicants she has dealt with have applied to 50 or more jobs.

Walker suggests job seekers be humble. The ideal job may not be available at first, but tak-ing one in a desired field may offer an employee the oppor-tunity to get their foot in the door.

Walker said to keep an open mind and let the opportunities work for you.

The Ole Miss Career Center (www.career.olemiss.edu) of-fers many resources for recent graduates, including job post-ings and free resume and cover letter critiques. They also post jobs on Facebook and Twitter.

Unemployment rates growing

New OHS facility bid denied

Though Oxford High School seems small, its population has been steadily increasing over the past few years. To ac-commodate this growth, the Oxford School District has proposed an expansion of schools, but progress has not been easy.

As of May 1, the Oxford School District has an overall student population of 3,723. The current blueprint of the high school is barely big enough to hold the number of students it has now.

Moreover, with numbers growing rapidly, there is ex-pected to be an overcapacity in the schools within the next four years.

“The space within the schools is good as of now, but will not be adequate enough for our students in the future,” Brian Harvey, Oxford School District superintendent, said.

The district’s building pro-gram consists of constructing a brand new high school, in addition to more vocational programs like pre-engineer-ing, culinary arts and health occupations.

The program also looks to fix the high school’s air condi-tioning and roof, as well as ex-pand and remodel the elemen-tary school.

Oxford High School recently proposed a $30 million alloca-tion to construct the new high school facility but was unable to get the bid processed at the time because construction bids began at $37 million.

Although the bid was re-jected, the school board ap-plied for an increase to the budget to meet the needs for construction. The school cur-rently has a performance con-tract with Ameresco, which allows schools and companies to receive construction work without having to pay for the upfront costs. The contract al-lows the school to make pay-ments on construction over the next 15 years.

Harvey said if the new high school is built, students that attend the middle school will relocate and have classes at the old high school.

The Oxford School Board will meet Thursday in the Lec-ture Center at Oxford High School to decide on rebidding and planning for the new con-struction.

LaBanc offers insights about student affairs

Brandi LaBanc was not hesi-tant to express her passion for students and her desire to serve them as vice chancellor.

The current Northern Illinois University associate vice presi-dent of student affairs was active in her sorority and studied ac-counting during her own college tenure. After graduating and starting work as an accountant, she quickly realized that wasn’t the right area of work for her.

With the support of friends and family, she decided to get back into the university scene. She has since worked at several universities in many different positions. Although not a pro-fessor, she considers herself “an educator with a different kind of classroom.”

LaBanc said vice chancellor for student affairs is a position she has been looking forward to and has tried to keep herself active and mobile for when the opportunity arises. She said she believes the position is crucial and wants her team of staff and departments to wake up and serve the students.

“They’re the ones that pay my salary,” LaBanc said.

She said she wants to bring trust and transparency to the position and ensure that every-one has their voice heard and opinions considered.

LaBanc said she considers her-self a very goal-oriented person. She related a New Year’s resolu-tion that she made a few years ago to begin running and par-ticipate in a race once a month. She ended up competing in 15 races that year.

“That’s the kind of person I am: Give me a goal and I’ll do it,” LaBanc said. “I come to work every day with that moti-vation.”

S. GALE DENLEYSTUDENT MEDIA CENTER

EMILY ROLANDcopy chief

They say you’re only as good as the people you surround your-self with. If that’s true, it’s not at all surprising that John Edward’s life fell so spectacularly to pieces as more and more of his sordid deeds have been revealed in his ongo-ing criminal trial. His sycophants are revealing all about the former presidential candidate and senator from North Carolina, but in doing so they’ve also revealed their own complicity in his misdeeds.

For the past three days, Cheri Young, wife of Edwards’ top cam-paign aide Andrew Young, has

been fielding tough questions on the witness stand. However, this grilling has earned her a reputa-tion as a media darling with vari-ous publications referring to her as “feisty”, “spunky” and, in a total disservice to the source material, “a steel magnolia”. The reverence used to describe the woman who helped cover up one of the biggest political scandals of the century is disconcerting. She wasn’t a victim of her husband’s ambition; she was an accomplice. Where are her criminal charges?

John Edwards is on trial for the criminal misappropriation of campaign funds. The charges al-lege that Edwards took funds that were improperly donated and that those funds were used to help cov-er up his affair with mistress and mother of this love child, Rielle Hunter. It’s not looking good for Edwards. The whole trial centers

around $900,000 in campaign contributions that ended up going to house and care for Hunter. The Youngs’ testimony has revealed the havoc attempting to conceal the mistress wreaked on their marriage. Not only did Andrew Young initially claim that he was the father of Hunter’s child, but the entire Young family uprooted from their North Carolina home and began moving around the country frequently to evade press notice.

Their testimony against Ed-wards has revealed details both intimate and bizarre about the massive production required to keep Edwards’ affair under wraps. The testimony revealed an un-flattering portrait of Edwards as a man that was so certain of his own power and eventual success that he believed himself infallible. What no one’s mentioning is that

the Youngs were both completely complicit in this scheme and did little to stop it or even question what was going on.

The Youngs were willing to sac-rifice everything in the name of proximity to power. They hitched their wagon to a pony they thought would eventually be the President of the United States. However, all their machinations were for naught when that pony turned out to be a philandering mule.

Ambition and drive are qualities that typically should be rewarded, however, when those qualities result in an override any of sem-blance of a moral compass; that’s a problem. Is Edwards guilty of misappropriating campaign funds in an attempt to hide his affair? Most likely, but he could not have done it without help. Edwards was only as good as the people around him, and those people were will-

ing to turn a blind eye to Edward’s wrongdoings to maintain their place in his inner circle. Edwards needed enablers, and those he had in spades. His aides and ac-complices are just as responsible for the mismanaged campaign funds as Edwards.

In theory, the Youngs could serve as the perfect cautionary tale about what happens when the quest for power leads one astray from the path of acceptable con-duct. However, given their rev-erential treatment in the media and forthcoming book and movie deal, it seems as if this is just an-other case of proximity to power being a profitable enterprise.

The fate of the accomplice

BY BRITTANY SHARKEY [email protected]

Free speech is, in many ways, a cornerstone of the United States. There is a rea-son it is protected by the First Amendment, along with the freedoms of religion, assembly and press. Our entitlement to our own opinions — and the boldness with which we pro-tect it — is a distinctly Ameri-can trait.

It is only fitting, then, that our politicians share the same tenacity for speaking their minds. However, a statement from our own governor last week reminded me that per-haps some thoughts — espe-cially those of our nation’s

public officials and politicians — are better kept private.

In a radio interview with conservative talk-show host Tony Perkins, Gov. Phil Bry-ant was quoted as saying that the Democratic Party’s “one mission in life is to abort chil-dren.”

I wish I was kidding.In order to avoid taking this

quote out of context, let me explain the subject matter in question. Gov. Bryant signed Mississippi House Bill 1390 into law on April 16, requir-ing that all physicians who perform abortions in the state not only be board-certified OB-GYNs, but also maintain admitting privileges at a local hospital.

While proponents of the legislation say that its purpose is to protect women’s health, opponents of HB 1390 claim that the true motive behind the bill is something else entirely: to force Mississippi’s only re-

maining abortion-providing clinic to close.

While all three physicians on staff at the Jackson Wom-en’s Health Organization are board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, only one re-sides within state lines and holds hospital admitting rights in the city.

Diane Derzis, the owner of the clinic, has said that they cannot operate with only one physician on staff.

Regardless of one’s personal opinion on the issue of abor-tion, I believe that our gov-ernor’s comments were com-pletely out of line.

For one, Bryant failed to realize that belonging to the Democratic Party does not au-tomatically make a voter pro-choice, just as being pro-life does not mean that someone is automatically a Republican. Plenty of Mississippi voters fall into this political “gray area,” and Bryant’s comments ef-

fectively marginalized a large portion of his constituency.

But beyond the game of par-ty politics, here lies my ques-tion: Should an elected official feel obligated to tone down his personal opinion — his free-dom of speech — when his beliefs needlessly and wrongly attack many of the citizens of his state?

I am an Independent voter. And for reasons that are my own, I am also pro-choice. Bryant’s comments last week made me feel as if he would judge me solely on this one stance that makes up a very small part of my political be-liefs.

I recognize that we live in an increasingly polarized, two-party system. And while dis-sidents to any politician are inevitable, I believe that it is crucial that our elected offi-cials strive to represent, and, above all, respect the citizens of their constituency in all

that they do.Gov. Bryant’s comments

were nothing short of disre-spectful, and they left me won-dering if he truly cares about all Mississippians, and not just those with beliefs similar to his own.

Regardless of party lines, elected officials should show their dissidents respect

An article in Wednesday’s DM, “University anticipates nearly 7 percent tuition in-crease,” said a bill that would increase tuition was made a law after the House passed it. However, the bill has not been passed by the Senate or President Obama. Until the bill has been passed by both the House and Senate and signed by the president, it is not a law.

Having a job after gradua-tion has become a dream for most college graduates. For University of Mississippi stu-dents Camille Lessig, Brannon Miller and Meghan Litten this dream has come true.

Mississippi Teacher Corps (MTC) is a two-year program designed for non-education majors that places qualified teachers into impoverished school districts in Mississippi. MTC is a highly competitive program that only accepts 25 to 30 students per year. It is one of the most competitive alternative route teaching pro-grams in America. Students must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher to be eli-gible.

MTC teachers are certified for grades 7-12. According to their website, about 70 percent

of the teachers are placed in high schools and 30 percent are placed in middle schools. MTC teachers receive full-time teacher salary with ben-efits.

Mississippi is dealing with a teacher shortage, and Missis-sippi Teacher Corps is working to fill that void. MTC is also striving to put well-qualified, motivated teachers into strug-gling districts to give quality education to all students in Mississippi.

According to the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau, 21.2 percent of Mississippians live below the poverty line, a much higher percentage than the national average of 13.8 percent. Mis-sissippi Teacher Corps places many teachers in the Missis-sippi Delta, the area with the highest poverty rate in the state.

Rachel Willis, who graduat-ed from Ole Miss in 2011 with

bachelor’s degrees in public policy leadership and politi-cal science, will be finishing up her first year in the Mississippi Teacher Corps program. She teaches English 2 and journal-ism at Callaway High School in Jackson.

“I think that a large part of good teaching will involve on-the-job training, which you re-ally only get after that first day on your own,” Willis said. “But I think MTC prepared me as well as could be done for what this experience is like.”

Willis said she would highly recommend MTC and had some advice for anyone look-ing to apply next year.

“Talk to someone in the pro-gram,” Willis said.

“Get honest answers about our experiences, especially our failures. Teach, tutor, work with kids in some way and make sure you love it before you apply.”

Chris Coghlan – Miami Marlins – Outfielder

Coming back from an injury that kept him out of action most of last year, Coghlan is struggling to return to the form that saw him win Rookie of the Year and make several plays that were fea-tured on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top Ten plays. He has made 19 appearances in games this season and is hitting .118 with two RBI.

Zack Cozart – Cincinnati Reds – Shortstop

Cozart debuted with the Reds last season, but he is now the ev-eryday starter at shortstop and a potential Rookie of the Year candidate. Cozart has played in all 23 of Cincinnati’s games this season and holds a .258 batting average to go along with four RBI and one home run.

Lance Lynn – St. Louis Cardinals – Pitcher

Lynn played a huge role in the Cardinals’ bullpen to help St. Louis win the World Series last season, and he was expected to fill the same role this season.

However, Chris Carpenter hurt himself during spring training leaving a spot in the starting ro-tation open for Lynn, and he’s making the most of the oppor-tunity. He’s made five starts this year and is 5-0, which ties for the Major League lead, with a 1.60 earned run average. Lynn has given up just six runs in his 33.2 innings of work this season to go along with 30 strikeouts to just seven walks.

Matt Maloney – Minneso-ta Twins – Pitcher

Maloney missed most of the 2011 campaign due to injury and was traded to the Twins during the offseason. So far this season, he has pitched in eight games, all in relief, and holds a 1-0 re-cord and 7.36 earned run aver-age. Maloney is also a guy in the Twins’ bullpen that can spot start if any injuries arise in the starting rotation.

Drew Pomeranz – Colo-rado Rockies – Pitcher

After a few starts at the end of last season, Pomeranz made the Rockies rotation to start the sea-son, but he hasn’t had the success he had hoped for at the begin-

ning of the season. Pomeranz has made four starts and holds a 4.05 earned run average along with a 0-1 record. He has also struck out 18 batters in 20.0 innings pitched. In his third start, Pomeranz left the game with tightness in his forearm of his throwing hand, but he bounced back yesterday throwing 6.2 innings giving up one run on just four hits with five strikeouts agains the Dodgers.

Alex Presley – Pittsburgh Pirates – Left Fielder

Presley has been a consistent bat in the Pirates lineup this sea-son. He has played in 22 of Pitts-burgh’s 23 games this year and is hitting at a clip of .271 with five RBI, one home run and three stolen bases. Presley snapped a 12-game hit streak on Sunday.

Seth Smith – Oakland Ath-letics – Right Fielder

After being traded from the Colorado Rockies to the Athlet-ics in the offseason, Smith’s role this season will be a platoon out-fielder and designated hitter to face right-handed pitchers. So far this season, Smith has played in 24 games and is batting .215 with seven RBI and two home run.

Ole Miss baseball in the MLB

BY DAVID COLLIER [email protected]

So far this season with the St. Louis Cardinals, former Diamond Rebel Lance Lynn is 4-0 with a 1.33 ERA.

FILE PHOTO | The Daily Mississippian

The professional baseball season has been underway for nearly and month and seven former Ole Miss baseball players started the season in the Major Leagues with another 13 trying to work their way up in the minors. The Daily Mississippian’s baseball beat writer David Collier will give you an update on how the big league Rebels are doing so far this season.

BASEBALL, continued from page 8

He came around to score on an RBI single by junior des-ignated hitter John Gatlin. Freshman center fielder Aus-ton Bousfield followed with a walk. Sophomore right fielder Preston Overbey tried to sac-rifice bunt the runners into scoring position, but an er-ror on the Murray State third baseman allowed the Rebels to score the second run of the in-ning.

Bousfield scored the third run on a perfectly executed suicide squeeze play by An-derson.

Two more runs scored on an RBI double by Mathis, followed by an RBI single by Mistone. Then, in his second at-bat of the inning, Allen de-livered an RBI single to score

Mistone. After Yarbrough walked and senior first base-man Matt Snyder flied out, se-nior Zach Kirksey pinch hit for Gatlin and came through with a double off the top of the left field wall to score the final two runs of the inning.

Murray State got one run back in the seventh on a sac-rifice fly off freshman right-hander Casey Mulholland, who threw 2.0 innings giving up one run on one hit in relief of Ellis.

Ole Miss added a run in the eighth on an RBI single by freshman catcher Austin Knight, while senior left-hand-er Jon Andy Scott pitched the final 2.0 innings for the Rebels giving up just two hits to go along with two strikeouts.

The Rebels will turn their attention to this weekend’s big series when No. 4 LSU comes to Oxford.

The Daily Mississippian

After falling behind early, No. 24 Ole Miss used a nine-run fourth inning to propel the Reb-els (30-16) to a 10-4 win against Murray State (21-25) Wednes-day night at Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field.

“Not as you always draw it up, but a game that we needed,” head coach Mike Bianco said. “A game that we just won offen-sively. You’ve got to give them a lot of credit. They were just really swinging well. They’re a team that scores a lot of runs. Obviously, they can swing it.

“And like I said, a game that we needed. A game that we fell behind early and were able to

hit our way out of it.”Freshman right-hander Sam

Smith’s outing lasted just 0.2 innings, as he gave up four runs on four hits with a walk and a hit batter to give Murray State an early 4-0 lead. Another freshman, right-hander Chris Ellis (4-0), came on in relief and shut the door on the Thor-oughbreds, pitching 4.1 score-less giving up just three hits while striking out five batters.

“His numbers are good,” Bianco said of Ellis. “There’s days where we may grade him harder than the statistics grade him in a sense of how his out-ing was. But today, I thought he had really good command, and he really lived ahead in the count. He made a lot of first-

or second-pitch strikes, and when you do that, it makes it a lot easier for you.”

In the third, sophomore shortstop Austin Anderson and junior left fielder Tanner Ma-this led off the inning with a single and double, respectively. A batter later, junior second baseman Alex Yarbrough hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score Anderson for his 39th RBI of the season.

The Rebels then exploded for nine runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding 10-4 lead.

Sophomore catcher Will Al-len, who was 2-for-3 on the night, got things started with a double in the right field gap.

Nik Scholtz, Marcel Thi-emann, Jonas Lutjen and Chris Thiemann of the Ole Miss men’s tennis team will be participating in the NCAA individual cham-pionships, as the selections for the singles and doubles were an-nounced Wednesday.

Scholtz, the SEC Freshman of the Year, earned a 9-16 seed in singles. The South Africa native is currently ranked No. 13 nation-ally with a 17-7 overall record. Scholtz went 7-4 in the SEC at No. 1 singles and is the second-highest ranked freshman in the nation.

Marcel Thiemann earned his third consecutive singles bid. The Lehrte, Germany, native has reached the NCAA quarterfinals two years in a row. Thiemann is ranked No. 20 in the country with a 20-6 overall record. He posted a 10-1 record in the SEC at No. 2 singles to earn All-SEC first team honors for the third year.

Lutjen, a junior, earned his first NCAA bid. The Schessel, Ger-many, native is presently ranked No. 45 with a 21-11 overall re-cord. He earned All-SEC second team honors.

The Rebels will have two teams in the 32-team doubles field. The Thiemanns, ranked No. 17 nationally, earned their third straight selection and own a 14-6 overall record. Scholtz and

Lutjen, ranked No. 13, boast a 16-5 overall record and went 9-2 in the SEC.

The last time the Rebels had two teams in the NCAA Doubles Championship (2008), former All-Americans Erling Tveit and Jonas Berg reached the final, and Bram ten Berge and Matthias Wellermann came very close to making it an all Ole Miss final.

The 64-player singles draw and the 32-team doubles draw will be played at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga., May 23-28, immediately following the NCAA Team Championship from May 17-22.

The Rebels are seeded No. 13 in the NCAA Team Champion-ship, and will host the first and second rounds May 12-13 at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center. They will face Binghamton in the first round Saturday, May 12 at Noon.

Boxx, Guthrie Selected To NCAA Singles/Doubles Championships

Ole Miss women’s tennis se-niors Kristi Boxx and Abby Guth-rie will participate in the NCAA Individual Championships, as the NCAA announced the singles and doubles brackets Wednesday.
