Katherine Barkett Byrd crowns Kayla Snow as Miss University at last year’s pageant.
Katherine Barkett Byrd, 2011 Miss University and recent graduate of the Meek School of Journalism and New Media at The University of Missis-sippi, has been diagnosed with hemolytic-uremic syndrome and is in critical condition at Baptist Hospital in Jackson.
Byrd will require a series of blood transfusions and is in need of donations through Mississippi Blood Services.
She requires AB+ plasma, which can only be donated by males, and blood of all types. However, AB+ and O+ types are especially needed.
Ole Miss students stepped up this past week to donate in Byrd’s name through Missis-sippi Blood Services in drives held in front of the Union on Nov. 7. The Oxford commu-nity also pitched in, giving at a blood drive hosted by Material
Girls this past weekend.Mississippi Blood Services
continues to accept blood in Byrd’s name and will give her credit for all donations that mention her name and birth-date: Dec. 20, 1987.
Alex McDaniel, a Meek School graduate who now works as a reporter and so-cial media coordinator at The Clarion-Ledger, said her mem-ory of Katherine inspired her to get involved.
“Katherine and I knew each other in college, and we were never particularly close or any-thing like that, but we were journalists together,” McDan-iel said. “She was just one of the most positive people that I ever knew.
“Every time I saw her in the newsroom, she was always smiling. She always kept me going. She could have a mil-lion stresses in her life, and
A Park and Ride event al-lowing University of Missis-sippi students to experience the benefits of the Park and Ride system will take place Thursday. The event will be from 10 a.m. until noon, and buses will be leaving from Bishop Hall.
Rides will only take from 10 to 15 minutes round-trip, and refreshments will be provided at Park and Ride lots.
A student group will also be promoting the event Monday through Wednes-day in the Union answering questions and providing in-formation on the new park-ing system for interested students.
Ole Miss started Park and Ride this fall to introduce a new parking system aimed at combating the steadily decreasing parking options available to commuters.
“Give us the opportuni-ty to show that these Park and Ride lots do work, and they’re going to ben-efit everyone,” Isaac Astill, director of The University of Mississippi Department of Parking and Transporta-tion Services, told Ole Miss news.
Park and Ride offers two express shuttle service routes, Gold and Brown. The Gold route runs from

I was reading a Time maga-zine article the other day about how racist attitudes are in-grained in people. I’d suggest that it’s an article we all should read here at The University of Mississippi. Why? This article addresses an issue that’s not only a problem on our campus, but an issue that’s a problem na-tionwide — really worldwide.
Tacit approval of racism and racist actions are harmful to the moral fabric of our society. Too many times we encounter rac-ist actions behind closed doors and do not address them. Too many times we try to avoid la-beling someone or something racist, out of fear of the reper-cussions. I understand that la-beling a person “racist” is bold, and one must be certain before proclaiming such a condemning status.
However, I argue that we have arrived at a critical point in the history of our university. Do we continually proclaim that the vocal minority does not represent our entire university or do we take a long, deep stare
into the mirror? We have real problems here at The Univer-sity of Mississippi. I understand that other universities have their plights as well, but our prob-lem is especially unique. It is one that is inherited from our troubled past. However, our tragic history does not remove responsibility from each of us to take proactive steps to address our problem.
A couple questions have been on my mind here lately, both of which troubled me greatly.
Why did those students feel like it was OK for them to use racial slurs here on our campus? Does our history and culture foster an atmosphere that ex-udes racism? The latter ques-tion will be difficult to answer as openly racist and discriminatory policies have been long off the books.
I titled this article “Tacit ap-proval” for a very specific rea-son — in my opinion, tacit ap-proval is what allows the racist undercurrents that lie beneath the vibrant, glamorous appear-ances to persist. Another reason that the underlying racist culture exists is because it does not af-fect the majority of the people
here on campus. However, it affects African-Americans the most.
For example, after the “pro-test” Tuesday night, I had family from all over the country calling, texting, writing me Facebook messages, concerned about my well-being. For many of them, the preconceived notions about Ole Miss had been confirmed. I am certainly not saying that other students did not have con-cerned family members, but the “protest” reaction uniquely affected African-American stu-dents.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” It is time for many of us who have stood on the sidelines and tacitly approved of the moral injustices here on campus to step up to microphone and speak up. It is time for us to let go of the nega-tive vestiges passed down from generation to generation and fully embrace our Creed. It is time for us to be who we say we are and not who we are when the cameras are around. Indeed, it is time for a change.
This reminds me of some-
thing Tony Robbins once said, “By changing nothing, nothing changes.” Until we truly reach deep down within ourselves and change the way we think about others and the culture here at Ole Miss, then I truly believe the negative connotation of this place will always precede the good of Ole Miss.
We are at The University of Mississippi at a very unique time. We have the opportunity to work together to change the culture and atmosphere here at the university and we also have the option of passing the task down to another generation of Ole Miss students.
Consider Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel’s wise words: “I swore never to be si-lent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must al-ways take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormen-tor, never the tormented. Some-times we must interfere.”
The choice is ours. It always has been.

The troubles of our tacit approvalBY TIM [email protected]
As student leaders of The University of Mississippi, we want to respond to the incidents that occurred on our campus last Tuesday night. The hateful, small-minded actions commit-ted by some students are un-acceptable and embarrassing; they have tarnished the reputa-tion of the university we love so dearly.
This year was special as we celebrated the University’s fiftieth year of integration – we’ve made substantial strides in race-relations since 1962. However, after the re-election of President Barack Obama, a small group of students took to campus streets playing “Dixie,” shouting, “The South will rise again,” and screaming racial slurs at their fellow students. This behavior is absolutely un-acceptable on The University of Mississippi’s campus, and it flies in the face of the University
Creed. Every single student on our campus pledges to uphold the values of the Creed at Ori-entation – including respect for the dignity of each person, and treating others with fairness and civility. And, it is every student’s responsibility to hold each an-other accountable for living a life that embraces the tenents of the Creed.
We’ve made progress as a community and as a university since James Meredith bravely integrated our institution, but election night reminded us we still have a long way to go. The University of Mississippi is not a perfect place – we must not be complacent. We cannot settle for the status quo or think we’ve come far enough. That type of mentality is the reason inequal-ity, injustice, and prejudice still exist – and to move forward, we need to have meaningful dialogue with one another, face-
to-face, not by tweets or text or Facebook. To move forward as a student body and university, we need to discuss our differ-ences and strive to genuinely understand one another’s back-grounds, cultures, and beliefs. Long gone should be the days of self-segregation, of exclusion, of hateful words, and of ostra-cizing someone for being dif-ferent. To students who believe what happened on our campus is somehow acceptable, and to those who partook in hateful speech: you are not welcome at The University of Mississippi. We do not want you here. Our campus is not a safe haven for hate.
The University of Mississippi is a campus for all who follow the principles of our Creed. We have our work cut out for us, but we’re ready for the challenge to keep progressing as a student body and as an institution. We
are dedicated to fostering and honoring the University Creed not just on campus, but also as representatives for The Univer-sity of Mississippi around the state, the nation, and the world.

the South Lot off Old Tay-lor Road just past Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field to Kennon Observato-ry and from the observatory back to the South Lot, and the Brown route runs from the Jackson Avenue Center Lot and the Paris/Yates Cha-pel.
The first buses depart from
the Paris/Yates Chapel and the South Lot at 7:00 a.m. and the last bus arrives at the lots at 6:15 p.m. Buses run every five minutes until 2:30 p.m.; Monday through Friday after 2:30 p.m., they run every 10 minutes.
Benefits of Park and Ride include quick and easy trans-portation to and from cam-pus and a secure parking spot compared to driving around campus looking for a spot.
Math freshman Devon Rodgers said he believes
most students will find Thurs-day’s event helpful.
“I think that the Park and Ride event is a good idea because it’ll explain to stu-dents how the program works,” Rodgers said. “Most students, me included, don’t really know much about it, so it’s not really something I would be as willing to try next year if I live off cam-pus.”
The informational session for Park and Ride is open to all students.
CISS students take first placeThe center for intelligence and security studies awarded prestigious title and federal funding. ciss students win first prize as presenters.
In September, The Uni-versity of Mississippi’s Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) re-ceived the title of an Aca-demic Center of Excellence from the Director of Nation-al Intelligence.
In addition to this honor, CISS receives funding from the federal government to develop courses and fund study abroad opportunities, workshops and outreach programs.
Carl Jensen, director of CISS, said he feels that when students apply for jobs in the intelligence com-munity they are well-pre-pared after being a member of CISS.
“Not only do (students) know how to do analysis, but they know how to think critically and write briefs in ways the intelligence com-munity likes,” Jensen said.
Every year, CISS attends
the Five Eyes Analytical Workshop sponsored by the Defense Intelligence Agen-cy.
This was the first year students from Academic Center of Excellence uni-versities were invited to the workshop.
“This is a great opportuni-ty for students,” Jensen said. “They get to sit at tables with intelligence professors from around the world.”
While attending the work-shop, Jensen required stu-dents to make a presenta-tion. This year’s topic was global issues on social me-dia.
Ole Miss students Alison Bartel and Lillian Hoffer took first prize as present-ers in the workshop. Jensen said he is proud of the stu-dents for winning first place at the conference.
“I’m thrilled to death,” Jensen said.
“It’s really brought a lot of positive feedback to the uni-versity.”

I would have never known. From now until the day I die, I’m always going to remember her being that person for me.”
McDaniel was integral in es-tablishing the hashtag #Blood-forKatherine that has connect-ed blood donors to the cause.
“Of course, my first reaction was to get to the blood bank to get her whatever she needs, but the second was strategic,” Mc-Daniel said. “When I found out what was going on with her, be-cause my job is rooted in social media and I have a blog that is gaining a following, I thought to make a hashtag to bind all of this together.
“I didn’t think that it was go-ing to be a big thing, but I got on Twitter about an hour after posting and people were using the hashtag and it was awe-some. People started reach-ing out to me in Jackson, who didn’t even know this girl, asking ‘What does she need?’ ‘Where do I go?’ and people got behind it.”

time this week recovering from a concussion.
Depth also came into play on Vanderbilt’s last drive that resulted in the game-winning touchdown and extra point. Just a few plays earlier, Ole Miss had Vanderbilt stuck in a 4th-and-2 on their own 46-yard line with just under two minutes left in the game.
A stop there, and the Rebels would be in good shape to run out the last two minutes and clinch bowl eligibility.
Rodgers rolled right, but had no one open on that side of the play and felt senior defensive end E.J. Epperson bearing down on him. Rodgers managed to cut back up field and get past the former tight end, turned fullback, turned defensive end for the first down.
It’s nothing against either player, as Covington quick-ly earned a scholarship af-ter arriving on campus and Epperson consistently has received praise on his work ethic and high motor at his new position on defense.
It just goes to show where Ole Miss is at this point and time in terms of depth.
The only way to upgrade that depth and the overall talent level is to recruit, and Ole Miss had another big group of visitors on campus for the game that could potentially provide immediate help.
This group included play-ers like South Panola safety Antonio Connor, defensive lineman Robert Nkem-diche, defensive end Jason Carr, a Tennessee commit-ment, and many others, both committed and still
open. Players of that caliber
could potentially help Ole Miss tremendously in the future. But until then, Freeze and the Rebels have to make use of the roster given to them.
It’s a roster with talent in spots, but it’s also tre-mendously young and the depth in spots is downright scary.
The Rebels have made plenty of progress in Freeze’s first year, but it’s still a flawed roster and a program still recovering from last year’s two-win season.
Bowl game or no bowl game, Freeze has shown recruits that the program is trending back in a positive direction.
He can sell recruits on the fact that with them on the field, Ole Miss prob-ably wins that game Satur-day night against the Com-modores.
Obviously, Freeze and the Rebels want a bowl game to show to those re-cruits, and for the currents players who have been through tough times the past two seasons.
But the key is recruiting; for Freeze and company to go out and land players that take Ole Miss above having to win a November game against Vanderbilt for bowl eligibility.
Freeze’s endgame is more than that, and it’s a process for the Rebels to get there. That’s the perspective needed when looking at Ole Miss’s season to date.
Depth has to be im-proved; the overall talent level has to be upgraded.
It’s a process.

Men’s hoops clash with ChanticleersThe Ole miss men’s basketball team looks to keep their early season momentum going as they host the coastal carolina chanticleers tonight at 7 p.m. at Tad smith coliseum.
The Ole Miss men’s basket-ball team will look to remain undefeated tonight, as they host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in a midweek nonconference matchup.
Ole Miss (1-0) is coming off a 93-57 victory against Mississippi Valley State this past Friday, in which six Rebels their Ole Miss de-buts. Head coach Andy Ken-nedy thought the newcom-ers played fast and that may have caused some turnovers and missed shots.
“That’s why you have 30 games, and you look to im-prove each night,” Kennedy said on Friday.
The Rebels committed 11 turnovers and shot under 40 percent against the Del-ta Devils but still put up 93 points.
“When you can score 93 points and shoot under 40
percent from the floor, it shows you are active,” Ken-nedy said. “We took 78 shots; we were very active.”
Junior guard Marshall Henderson led Ole Miss with 22 points. He also accounted for five of the Rebels’ six three-pointers. Henderson will look to add to his strong start, as will senior forward Murphy Holloway, who posted a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Coastal Carolina (1-0) re-turns just two starters from last year’s 19-12 team. The Chanticleers, of the Big South Conference, come in 1-0 as they defeated the Akron Zips 74-70 in overtime this past Friday. Anthony Raffa led Coastal Carolina in scoring last season and led the way with 27 points against Ak-ron. Raffa, a 6-foot-1 senior guard, knocked down four threes against the Zips.
Senior forward Reginald Buckner had 10 points,
four steals and three blocks against Mississippi Val-ley State. He now has 231 blocked shots, the most in Ole Miss history and 16th most in Southeastern Con-ference history.
Because of foul trouble and a large lead, freshman point guard Derrick Millinghaus played more minutes than sophomore starting point guard Jarvis Summers in the first game. Kennedy has described Millinghaus as a change-of-pace point guard, who is expected to play up-tempo. Millinghaus missed eight shots and had two turnovers, but Kennedy is still encouraged by what the freshman brings to the team.
“He was going so fast, but his ball speed collapses de-fenses,” Kennedy said.

would have taken before the season.
“If you had told me that we’d be at five (wins) with two games to go back in spring, I probably would have taken that, as would all of Rebel Nation,” he said. “When you start having success, it builds the expectations for all of us and we want more, and I don’t blame them. We feel the same way.”
The next chance for Ole Miss to affect the results part
of this season comes Saturday on the road in Baton Rouge against No. 8 LSU. The Reb-els responded well Sunday after the 27-26 loss to Vander-bilt, according to Freeze, but he is worried about his team’s health yet again.
“We’re down now, with Fer-bia (Allen)’s injury, to about 59 (healthy) scholarship play-ers,” Freeze said. “We can’t use that as an excuse or a crutch. We’ve got to fix that in recruiting — which we will. Right now, we’ve got to press on with what we have.”
Egg Bowl to kick off at 6 p.m.

Some perspective is re-quired when thinking about where the 2012 Ole Miss team realistically is in the aftermath of Saturday’s 27-26 loss to Vanderbilt that clinched bowl eligibility for the Commodores and put the Rebels’ bowl hopes on hold for at least another week.
Ole Miss has made sig-nificant progress under head coach Hugh Freeze,
but there are some things that are beyond a coach’s control.
Depth, for example, is one of them.
On Vanderbilt’s first touchdown of the game, re-ceiver Jordan Matthews got behind former walk-on cor-nerback Louis Covington for a 52-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jor-dan Rodgers to Matthews.
He received his first ca-reer start at corner due to the absence of senior Wes-ley Pendleton, who was out with an ankle injury, and that Senquez Golson, who played, missed the Georgia game and some practice

REBElS MovE foRwaRd in ‘PRoCESS’Ole miss football head coach Hugh freeze took the podium monday afternoon to discuss how his team will move forward after saturday’s 27-26 heartbreaking loss to vanderbilt.
Head coach Hugh Freeze NAME | The Daily Mississippian
With two more chances left to find a sixth win and clinch bowl eligibility, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze took some time in his weekly Monday press conference to talk about just how much it has taken for the Ole Miss program to get to this point at 5-5 with LSU and Mississippi State left to go.
“They’ve really given all that we’ve asked, and I have no doubt that every Sunday
they’ve done exactly what we’ve asked in bouncing back and putting the past behind them,” Freeze said of his team. “That locker room and that coaches’ locker room was a painful place Saturday night, and we don’t run from that fact.
As painful as the loss was to Freeze, his coaching staff and the players, Freeze said it has to be about the process and the state of the program when he got there.
“We have to be process-ori-
ented and not result-oriented because there’s too much at stake, not just from a foot-ball standpoint, but from the maturing as young men and how you handle your daily businesses when you’re disap-pointed,” said Freeze. “This process is way too important for us to get caught in the re-sults that may or may not oc-cur.”
Sitting at 5-5 is a position that Freeze said he probably
