STUDENTS HOPE TO IMPROVE LAW ACCESSIBILITY

The World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index recently ranked Mexico ahead of the U.S. when it comes to “access to and affordability of legal council in civil disputes.”

At fi rst, this may not appear to have much to do with Ole Miss, but when John Grisham came through Oxford for the dedica-tion of the Robert C. Khayat Law Center in April, he left be-hind a mantra: Train young law-yers who fi rmly believe that a license to practice law is a power-ful tool best used when defend-ing the poor, the weak and the falsely accused.

Many at the semester-old law center were already practicing this message and believe it could help bring the U.S. up to par with other developed nations when it comes to access to justice.

Recent graduate Marisa Chris-tensen said hearing it from Gr-isham might help ingrain the cause further.

“I think a lot of folks around here look up to him, so it maybe means more to people, hearing it from him,” Christensen said. “I think that as many prominent people as can that hammer that in, the better.”

The WJP’s report also claims that over the last three years, only 40 percent of low-income respondents who used the legal system in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles reported that the experience was fair, compared to 71 percent among the wealthy. In France, this gap is 5 percent, while in Spain the gap between the poor and wealthy among re-spondents in receiving a fair legal experience is non-existent.

Further, the American Bar As-sociation reported in 2010 that fewer than one in fi ve low-income persons in the U.S. receive access to adequate legal assistance.

“We live in a country where everyone is supposed to be equal and have equal access to the court system, but in reality, it falls very short of that,” Christensen said. “I think we have a lot of fi nancial penalties built into the system that essentially tax you for being poor.”

In Mississippi, Christensen said she believes that if every lawyer did all of his or her pro bono hours, that the unmet legal need would be drastically differ-ent.

“I think it goes beyond a pro-

fessional duty,” Christensen said. “I think it is an ethical duty. You have a skill set, and people should feel obligated to use that knowl-edge, and not just for a profi t.

“It is crippling how many peo-ple that need access to the court system but don’t have it.”

Christensen said the law school is working on upping the pro bono work among students, in-cluding adding a pro bono clinic to its Civil Legal Clinics and there is also talk of awarding a pro bono certifi cate to students who complete a certain number of pro bono hours.

Civil legal clinics are optional courses that take a law student beyond the classroom to test what he or she learned from

all the lectures and readings. It is critical for a professor to be there when a student has his or her fi rst experience in what be-ing a lawyer truly is, said Tucker Carrington, who runs the Missis-sippi Innocence Project, which isn’t part of the legal clinics, but its own public service entity that aims to free innocent prisoners, housed at the Ole Miss School of Law.

“It is like in med-school, when you are doing your fi rst rounds and working on your bedside manor,” Carrington said. “You need someone right there with you, who’s experienced; another doctor, who lets you make mis-

Ole Miss Students Win PRism Awards

The University of Missis-sippi recently had fi ve public relations students and journal-ism instructor, Robin Street, receive PRism Awards.

“The awards were present-ed at the state convention in March,” Street said. “Winners are told that they have won something, but they don’t know exactly what until the awards ceremony.”

Street isn’t new to the PRAM arena. She has won PRism Awards from 2004-08. This year, Street was present-ed with two Awards of Excel-lence, one for PR writing and the other for her feature writ-ing.

Along with Streets’ awards, public relations students Han-nah Chalker of Marietta, Ga., Hallie Mosby of Jackson, Lindsay Jordan of Brandon, Emily Laird of Columbus and Erin Parsons of Oxford.

Public Relations Association of Mississippi, also known as PRAM, hands out PRism awards to honor and recognize outstanding work in the fi eld of public relations to students and professionals throughout the state of Mississippi.

There are three levels of the award which are based on number of points an individ-ual is awarded for his or her work. The top award is the PRism Award and is followed by an award of excellence, award of achievement and a best in show.

Street, who is a cofound-er of the Oxford/Ole Miss chapter of PRAM, said she is excited that the accomplish-ments of her students are be-ing recognized.

“I was so proud of my stu-dents who all won awards in competition with profession-als,” Street said. “Our stu-dents were the only students in the state who won awards. Emily Laird won the very prestigious honor of Student Best in Show and Erin Parson was named PR Student of the year.”

Kristie Aylett, PRAM presi-dent, said in a press release, that the students had their work compared alongside campaigns and projects by professionals in the public re-

Finding a parking spot in a timely manner and without consequence may become impossible, particu-larly because of the newest regula-tion: moving the sophomore class off campus.

The University Police Depart-ment enforces parking and traffi c regulations at the University of Mississippi. The Parking and Traf-fi c Rules and Regulations section of the M Book states that “thorough understanding of these regulations is important because violations will result in needless expense and in-convenience to the student.”

Sue Hodge, assistant dean for undergraduate programs, said she is concerned about parking on campus.

“Parking becomes a greater chal-lenge for faculty, staff and students each year,” she said.

With the infl ux of students mak-ing parking more problematic, rais-ing tensions and frustrations with students, stress levels run high be-cause of the expensive penalties students face. The fi rst offense fi ne is $15, the second is $25 and the third and any subsequent of-fense fi ne is $45. This information can be found under Parking Servic-es of the University Police Depart-ment’s web page.

Hodge is not involved with any decision making processes about parking, but she does have ideas and changes in mind that would impact the parking situation for students in a positive way.

“If presented with the oppor-tunity to vote on building an on-

campus parking garage or deck, my vote is yes,” Hodge said. “I am not concerned with the aesthetics of such a structure as I am confi -dent university administrators will only approve a structure that will enhance the beauty of our most beautiful campus.”

Hodge said that the university may not accept the idea of a park-ing garage.

“I do not know if university administrators are supportive of a parking garage or deck,” Hodge said. “However, it seems we would have one if the administrators are supportive of building a deck or garage. I will speculate that there is a concern of lost revenue from the issuance of parking tickets that weighs heavily on a decision to build or not to build.”

From student Abby Olivier’s per-

spective, the solutions the university has worked to create has eased ten-sions between students and parking services. Olivier is vice president of the Associated Student Body.

“I think that the parking in the MDOT lot was an incredible idea,” she said. “If we could lobby for more OUT buses to swing by the lot, students would not have to wait as long. It would be even better if there were a coffee shop some-where around the lot that students could go to before and after class while waiting on the bus.”

Olivier said a parking garage would not be a positive change for the university.

“I personally do not believe that we should have a parking garage on campus, because it would not

Believe it or not, an election is coming up in November, and on the ballot is Amend-ment 26, a state-wide initiative that would redefine a “per-son” as “every human being from the moment of fertiliza-tion, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.” If you are almost anyone in the state, you probably think this is just fine and dandy - after all, all lives are precious, and who do women think they are to play God with the lives of their children?

If you would be so kind as to pay attention for a moment, however, I’d like to draw your attention to why you’re wrong and dangerously so.

So now any blastocyst is a human being with human rights. The mother now has to deal with a growing mass of cells in her body. She may not even have asked for this “blessing.” It might have been thrust upon her by the actions of an evil few, and now, be-cause she is guilty of the crime of having been born with two X chromosomes instead of the good and proper X and Y chromosomes, she has to shoulder the burden of a child

to its adulthood, sacrificing any plans she might have had for herself along the way.

Let’s not even look at it like that. Say that the mother is happily married, the embryo growing inside her is her hus-band’s and it turns out that if she carries the baby to term, she and the fetus will die. What are her options? For Mikki Kendall of Salon.com, her op-tions were bleed to death be-cause the doctor on call would not and will not perform abor-tions, even when a fetus is not viable. If you are one of the unlucky 50 percent born the sex of inequality, then lucky you, this is a very real possibil-ity for any of you.

The opposition will paint this argument with colorful slogans like “I’m a human, too,” and “Life starts at con-ception.” However, all human cells are human and life start-ed four billion years ago. No one demands rights for all the sperm that don’t make it.

Well, the Catholic church does, but I digress.

Essentially, any baby is a part of you, and if you can ampu-tate a leg or irradiate a tumor, why is a baby in the womb any

different?Anti-abortion legislation is,

plain and simple, an attempt to legislate religious morality. To tackle the real problem, we, collectively, must admit there are no clear boundaries of right and wrong in the world. This applies even with some-thing as, apparently, incredibly obvious, as the right to exis-tence. Pretending we have an absolute moral code because we believe it was divinely giv-en to some other people 3,000 years ago can be deadly. Missis-sippi is impoverished and ev-ery single teenage mother adds to this problem. We can’t solve our poverty problem, which is frankly at the root of many of Mississippi’s other problems, if we don’t first stop attacks like this, which result in a poorer community increasing-ly unable to care for our fami-lies. Some very specific people are trying to cut off a Missis-sippi woman’s only out if they make a mistake, change their mind or are raped. The same people are trying to prevent the education of the populace in regards to sex education, if Bill 999, recently signed into law, is anything to go by. The

vast majority of these people are part of the religious right. They do not come with Chris-tian love, but with a sword. Whether they are honest or dishonest, the religious right intends to spread the world of their god and if you are nega-tively affected by their actions, then hopefully you’ll become impoverished for reasons that, in the 21st century, we should be able to avoid. After all, the religious right have managed to convince the poor and the downtrodden that they hon-estly represent their interests while groups like The Family continue to push immoral and inhuman legislation through governments around the world.

If you want to do something about it, vote. Even if you just go to school here. Get regis-tered and vote. The religious monoliths of ignorance will walk all over us unless we fight back. If nothing else, look at it this way: You can’t choose to keep a child either, if the op-tion isn’t on the table. Abor-tion isn’t easy. No one gets an abortion with total emotional detachment. Having the op-tion, however, is necessary.

Abortion: You can’t legislate morality.

On May 31, the United States House of Representa-tives voted down a measure to increase the debt ceiling for the U.S. government.

The vote was nothing more than a political ploy from the Republican majority in the House, showing that there was little House support for rais-ing the debt ceiling without taking steps to help close bud-get deficits.

With Republicans using the debt ceiling as means for pres-suring President Obama, you would think that the debt ceil-ing was not a pressing matter. However, this time, as with ev-ery time, the Republican Party is holding the U.S. hostage.

Should the U.S. not raise its current debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion, the U.S. government will no longer be able to meet all of its current obligations.

According to the Treasury

Department, at current rates this will happen on August 2.

Simply, this means that should the U.S. Congress not allow the raising of the debt ceiling, the federal govern-ment will begin to default on payments. This means that potentially the U.S. will begin to default on loans.

It is imperative to under-stand how serious failing to increase the debt ceiling could potentially become.

Look to Europe, where Greece could no longer pay their own government’s debt. The country is now in great fi-nancial trouble, and outlooks for the next few years are just as grim.

In reality, no one knows just what could happen once we hit the ceiling.

That’s because it has never, in the history of the U.S., hap-pened before.

While the Treasury Depart-ment would for the time being be able to pay its loans and ac-cruing interest of the course of the year, bigger problems come into play.

The Treasury Department doesn’t take in all of their money for Fiscal Year 2011 all at once.

The money comes in on a week-by-week basis. There is no guarantee that the Treasury Department would have the cash on hand necessary to pay any given week’s balances.

In addition to the govern-ment potentially having prob-lems paying off their own debt, it is uncertain what would happen to the financial markets should the U.S. begin failing to pay what it is legally obligated to pay.

There might be a panic, as some could see this as fore-shadowing the U.S.’ future.

Countries who are currently heavily invested in U.S. bonds, such as China, might lose their confidence in the federal gov-ernment and begin to sell off their bonds, causing a collapse in the value of the U.S. dollar.

Or, maybe, nothing will happen. But, are you willing to risk the sovereignty of the United States of America on a possibility?

I know that I’m not.Next time you see some-

thing similar to what hap-pened on Tuesday, regardless of the party, don’t just think about how great your party is or how despicable the other party is. Instead, think about what is being used as a bar-gaining chip.

While cutting our budget deficit is a long-term must, how useful is it to save a na-tion long term that may not be able to function short term?

Early this year Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping predicted that Jesus Christ would return to collect his elect and fl y them back to heaven on May 21 – just in time to escape the impend-ing fi ve months of plagues, fi re and brimstone that would claim the lives of millions each day before culminating on October 21 this year, at which time the world would end. Camping made similar predictions in 1994 and 1998, using similar numerologi-cal arguments obtained from spiritual texts.

On May 10, the Washington Post interviewed noted evolu-tionary biologist and outspo-ken atheist Richard Dawkins for his thoughts on Camping’s apocalyptic predictions, to which he responded, “I don’t know where he gets the mon-ey, but it would be no surprise to discover that it is contribut-ed by gullible followers – gull-ible enough, we may guess, to go along with him when he will inevitably explain, on May 22, that there must have been

some error in the calculation; the rapture is postponed to (a future date); and to please send more money to pay for updated billboards.”

Camping responded after Judgment Day had passed, saying he was “fl abbergasted” and “searching for answers.” But I know the reason why he feels this way: Camping thought he had thought of everything, but there was one pesky thing he forgot – he was wrong.

On May 23, two days fol-lowing the “rapture,” Camp-ing explained that May 21 had been a “spiritual” Judgment Day and that the Rapture will in fact occur on October 21, 2011, to go along with the destruction of the world. It’s easy to see which of the two’s predictions turned into prophecy and why – Dawkins predictions were grounded in common sense; Camping must’ve forgotten to carry a zero.

For those of you who be-lieve in the Bible, the answer to when time will come to an

end can likely be found (or, well, not found) in Matthew 24:36, which loosely advises laying off the predictions; for those of you who don’t believe in some or all of the Bible, it’s fun to prognosticate how many years the Christians will wait for the Son to rise – 3,000? 5,000? 10,000? That’s a lot of zeros to carry.

If you’re like me, you’ll fi nd the master plans of Harold Camping and others like him to be so-so. However, Camp-ing’s convictions are not too far removed from a number of people that have been con-vinced of things that “have happened” and/or “will hap-pen” simply because someone told them they would – typi-cally at a young age. Is Harold Camping too far removed from a Southern Baptist preacher who pounds out ser-mons on Hellfi re and the end times to frighten his sheep into the fold?

In fact, I argue his psyche works no differently than that of you and I; tell yourself something all day, every day,

for a week and see if you don’t believe it seven days later. Your ego is like your stomach – it puts out what you put it in it. When you choose to be-lieve in something – no mat-ter how mundane or fantasti-cal – you will come to “know” it is “real,” because that’s how powerful our minds are.

Harold Camping isn’t pumping out ideas that are anymore fantastical than some talking snake giving apples away, McKenna’s “machine elves,” and the Immaculate Conception. One could argue that Camping, 89, is simply cashing in on his 15 minutes of fame while people who will believe in some or all of the above will still pay him to fi ll them with false hope.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Camping spent 10 hours on Judgment Day Googling his name.

Further, Dawkins is no prophet for predicting Camp-ing’s actions almost two weeks before “Judgment Day” – he was just exercising common sense.

Camping’s common sense drifted to the background while his delusions of gran-deur got the best of him (and his followers), causing them to annoy the hell out of me with this story for weeks. I just don’t know where Camp-ing and the blind could lead the sightless, but God, they love to witness. For both their and my sake, I hope heaven and hell are really there (but I wouldn’t hold my breath), and that some form of divine intervention carries the zeros as far away from me as univer-sally possible.

Anyway, the feeling in my personal universe on Judgment Day was one of pure rapture: I read a couple of books, exer-cised, ate some good food and kicked it with some friends at a “Rapture Party” later that night. It was our own slice of instantly gratifi ed Heaven on Earth. Our planet is hosting a Golden Age for those of you who know – it’s the waiting game for those of you who don’t.

What are you waiting on?

Camping missed the mark with the ‘rapture’

BY ANDREW DICKSONColumnist

Auburn’s athletic program has prided itself on having athletes that stay out of the news for the wrong reasons.

For other schools, like the University of Georgia, keep-ing players out of trouble has been a problem.

On March 11, four foot-ball players ruined Auburn players’ clean reputation.

Antonio Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens, Mike McNeil and Dakota Mosley were arrest-ed after being pulled over by an area police offi cer.

The four men were in a vehicle matching the de-scription from a victim of an armed robbery.

The robbery took place at a trailer park off of Wire

Road, and involved a fi re-arm.

After the car was searched, the pistol and stolen items were recovered.

This incident is even more embarrassing for the pro-gram because it follows a national championship sea-son.

Many, including myself, questioned the motives of the men, because percep-tion dictates that scholar-ship players are well taken care of by the program.

For those who do not know, scholarships can be awarded based on percent-ages.

For example, if you are a third-string quarterback,

your percentage would be signifi cantly lower than the percentage for a starting quarterback.

Most often, the starting players are awarded with a full scholarship, which cov-ers tuition, fees, books and room and board.

I’m not certain what per-centage scholarship each of the four men received from Auburn.

News was released Tues-day about Mike McNeil’s two previous evictions from different properties in Au-burn and a lawsuit against him for unpaid rent.

I’m not sympathizing with McNeil, because fi nancial obligations rest on the indi-

vidual.However, from a student

perspective, I can under-stand the burden rent can be.

Additionally, because these individuals are full-time ath-letes, having a part-time job is out of the question.

Because of these facts, I would not be surprised if McNeil’s defense includes these burdens as part of his motivation.

Robbery, especially armed, is never an acceptable al-ternative, and each player should receive the appropri-ate punishment that is dic-tated by law.

The situation saddens me that we have players who

take the law into their own hands to compensate for money they cannot come up with.

This is not how I, as a stu-dent, want our athletic pro-gram to be known.

I also would like to com-mend head coach Gene Chizik for acting quickly to permanently dismiss the players from the team.

There are numerous ex-amples, across the board, of college football players’ runins with the law, and I, for one, hope this incident is an isolated one, especially after such a historic season for our university.

Auburn athletes, let’s keep it classy — and legal.

takes that are not going to ulti-mately harm a patient, and who has reflective time thereafter to sit with you and say, ‘Here is what you did well, here is what you need to work on,’ and also ask, ‘What are your thoughts?’”

Grisham helped found the Mississippi Innocence Project in 2007 as a financial backer. Previ-ously, Innocence Project-New Orleans lawyers had done the innocence work for Mississippi, but officials felt that there was enough work for Mississippi to have its own office. Soon, it was delegated to the school, which is not the way most innocence proj-ects operate, Carrington said.

“One nice thing about the project is it being here at the law school,” Carrington said. “We get to interact with students, and students work with us on our cases. They, without exception, are engaged by the work because it is interesting, and it changes them.”

Carrington has been there to sit with many law students since he was first brought on to direct the Mississippi Innocence Proj-ect, including second year law student Caroline Castigliola, who recently participated in the proj-ect.

Castigliola and a partner worked on a case from 1970.

“We went down to this guy’s home town and checked the courthouse for files,” Castigliola said. “Then, we went down to Leakesville Mississippi and in-terviewed him and got his story. Then, we went back to his home-town and found and talked to his family, his sister; it was very cool.”

After venturing into the un-known, Castigliola said it was im-portant to receive feedback.

“It is good to know that there is a person sitting outside watching her interact with those witnesses, identifying strengths, what she is good at, what she lacks and how she can become a better lawyer,” Carrington said of Castigliola.

Carrington also said he believes that law schools should be chal-lenged, as Grisham said, to teach students, amongst other things, to be agents of social change in their communities.

“Not that I think law schools ought to be worried about popu-lating the state with lawyers who are going to work for wrongfully convicted people,” Carrington said. “But at some basic level, they ought to be teaching stu-dents, as a practical and philo-sophical measure for being a service profession. That is what lawyers do.”

While many law students come in wanting to do just that, the grind of school often erodes that, partly due to the way law is taught, like that in medical stu-dents, Carrington said.

“By the time you get out of med-school, most young doctors will tell you that they are exhaust-ed, they have debt and whatever initial reason for going into med-school, such as helping people and being close to their patients, has been bled out of them,” Car-rington said.

“I think the same thing hap-pens in law school. Many set out with a desire to help folks, but in the end, you tend to lose sight of that.”

Losing sight of that desire, Carrington said, is one reason why he feels like lawyers, as a profession, tend to be unhappy as lawyers. And indeed, in Susan Daicoff ’s book, “Lawyer, Know Thyself,” the claim is that law-yers experience depression twice as frequently as people in the general population, which Car-rington said is a shame.

“The practice of law can be a fun, interesting and fulfilling profession, if you can find your niche and stay true to what a lot of people wanted to do when they joined law school, which is show up somewhere and help people,” Carrington said. “You may not make a ton of money, and you are probably going to work your ass off.

“But you know what? It’ll be pretty damn fun and interest-ing.”

Once a student goes through an innocence project or civil le-gal clinic course, Carrington said he or she will not be the same.

“It does not mean they will be public defenders,” Carrington said. “It does not mean they will go out and do innocence work.

“But they will think more deeply about the issues.”

And getting people to think more deeply, Carrington said, could be a game changer.

“We don’t have very serious conversations when it comes to issues with crime in this coun-try,” Carrington said. “I hate to say it, but those conversations tend to be directed by politicians and rhetoric.”

Carrington said the problem with leaving this talk to the politi-cians is that they tend to concern themselves more with their con-stituency, people that can vote.

According to a 2008 Project Vote report, 40 percent of adults in households that make $25,000 or less are not registered to vote, and many studies claim that people with a lower income vote at a lesser percent than their fel-low citizens in the higher income brackets. And of course, prison-ers in the U.S. can’t vote.

Which means, Carrington said, other people need to speak on their behalf.

“People may have valid charg-es, but if there is no attorney to represent them, their case won’t

be heard in the courts,” law stu-dent April Killcreas said. “I think attorneys are in a great position to provide services to communi-ties.”

Killcreas said as an attorney she is hoping to represent the environment, and recently, she won an award from the Ameri-can Bar Association for an essay she wrote about two Mississippi communities facing environmen-tal threats. The communities she focused on were Turkey Creek and Eastmoor Estates.

“In Eastmoor, what you have is a low income housing com-munity with the owner refusing to repair sewer lines over a sev-eral year period,” Killcreas said. “Turkey Creek, which is just out-side of Gulfport, is having prob-lems with developers wanting to build on their wetlands.

“They are not well publicized cases, and I thought they were interesting.”

Killcreas became interested in law while at Millsaps College in Jackson, and at Ole Miss, devel-oped an interest in environmen-tal law.

“Last summer, I did a lot of coastal and ocean-related work for my internship,” Killcreas said. “It was a lot of research-based projects, related to the deep wa-ter spill.

“I found that it would be something that I would really en-joy doing.”

Student organizations are also coming up with ways to help push student activities, including the Public Interest Law Founda-tion, which Christensen was the president of during the previous year.

“Most of what we do is raise money to award out in sum-mer stipends, to students work-ing unpaid internships,” Chris-tensen said. “If each student we send out there helps one, or two people, it would be great, but in

reality, they will be helping many people every day. It is a pretty ef-fective strategy.”

This year, the group raised $28,667 and helped students go all over the country, including the National Organization of Women and the Department of Children Services in Nashville.

“Summer work is important, it reminds you what you are doing all of this stuff for at the end of the year,” Christensen said. “It is a carrot at the end of a stick, fol-lowing a lot of dry reading.”

Christensen said the Mississip-pi Innocence Project was among the more impactful projects she worked on while on campus.

“I think that it kind of solidi-fied my career path for going to be a public defender,” Christens-en said. “When I started out with law school, I think I definitely wanted to do public interest law, but I was leaning more toward the civil side.

“After going through the law school, and especially the inno-cence clinic, I really landed more on the criminal aspect of it.”

It is her hope, also, that work such as this will help her landing a job, and Carrington said if he were the person hiring, he’d be more inclined to hire someone with experience such as Chris-tensen’s.

“It is one thing to say, ‘Oh, I took a class in lawyer ethics,’ and another thing to say, ‘I took a class on professional ethics, and then I was faced with the follow-ing situation in a case that I had in a clinic.’

“I found that what I had in class was helpful in this regard, but wasn’t so helpful in a prac-tice situation, so I had to work through that in the clinic. If I was a punitive employer, I’d un-derstand that this person is sig-nificantly advanced, as opposed to the person who was just in the class.”

lations field. “The judges were very im-

pressed by the quality of their entries,” Aylett said in the press release. “And it is obvious that the students are being well pre-pared to enter the field.”

Erin Parson, a senior jour-nalism major, was named Out-standing Public Relations Stu-dent of 2011 by PRAM. With her award, she received a $250 scholarship and a certificate of achievement from the asso-ciation. Parsons was nominated by Street for this prestigious award.

“When it was time to a pick a student to nominate for this statewide award, choosing Erin was a no-brainer,” Sreet said. “Her expertise, skills and abil-ity are outstanding. I knew there could be no better PR student in the state.”

Parsons said that winning

Outstanding PR Student of 2011 was a great way to end her college career.

“This award is a great way to wrap up my senior year,” she said. “It is a really good feeling to have some recognition for my work in PR as a student. I was also very happy to receive the $250 scholarship that I will soon put toward graduate school.”

PRAM is a network of 11 chapters throughout the state, consisting of nearly 600 mem-bers.

The association includes mem-berships for students majoring in public relations and profes-sionals who hold positions in a variety of fields, including cor-porations, industries, govern-ment entities, not-for-profits and agencies. PRAM mem-bers are concurrent members of Southern Public Relations Federation, a network of more than 1,300 public relations pro-fessionals in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.

fit the style and uniqueness of our campus,” she said.

Olivier believes that for the parking issues and regulations to be resolved, students faculty and UPD must work together to cre-ate a solution.

“The wonderful thing about parking services is that they would love to hear from students,” Ol-ivier said. “I know last year, an ASB senator set up an open fo-rum between students and park-ing services. Only about 20 stu-dents came, but I hear a lot more than 20 people complaining about parking. I truly believe that parking services and UPD want and need our input,”

Cortez Moss, the director of academic affairs, also serving as the chief academic officer for the ASB, provides leadership in col-laboration with the president and senate academic affairs commit-tee in planning, developing and

evaluating the academic programs of the university. Moss also works directly with parking services. Be-cause the incoming freshman class is of record size and the sopho-mores are being moved off cam-pus for the 2010-2011 school year, parking problems are inevitable, he said.

“These recent changes create a supply and demand problem. One of the potential problems is a lack of commuter parking spaces for the number of students mov-ing from residential to commuter parking. The second issue is trying to get sororities and fraternities enough parking spots close to their houses for meetings, while still ac-commodating residential students. I do believe parking is an integral part of the university’s improve-ment plan.”

In order for students, faculty and UPD to work together to cre-ate a solution, Moss said students should play a key role in finding the solution.

“Students should most definitely play a key role in developing a so-

lution. The first step in solving this problem among faculty, students and UPD is to hit the issue head-on by giving leaders among these groups an opportunity to sit at the table and discuss their experiences and tailor a solution that best fits the affected groups,” Moss said. However, the problem may not be manageable by students alone.

“I think a task-force should be formed to review the current parking and look for a more effi-cient system,” Moss said.

The ASB and administrators have heard complaints among students at the university, realizing parking is becoming a bigger issue each year. Members of the ASB and faculty agree, the university and the student body must work together to create a cohesive solu-tion; a solution that will appease both students and faculty mem-bers alike, while maintaining the unique charm of this great cam-pus. A change in policy and park-ing regulations will be necessary to move forward with the evolution of the university.

BOSTON (AP) -- Shaquille O’Neal, a 15-time All-Star who struggled to get on the court last season because of injuries, tweeted on Wednesday that he is going to retire after a 19-year career in which he won four ti-tles and the 2000 league Most Valuable Player award.

O’Neal wrote on Twitter shortly before 2:45 p.m. that, “im retiring.” It included a link to a 16-second video in which he says, “We did it; 19 years, baby. Thank you very much. That’s why I’m telling you first: I’m about to retire. Love you. Talk to you soon.”

An inveterate prankster who gave himself a new nickname - or several - in each of his six NBA cities, O’Neal did not notify the Boston Celtics, his latest team, of his plans. He played just 37 games this year, the first of a two-year deal at the veteran’s minimum salary, making just three brief appear-ances after Feb. 1.

“To my knowledge, he has not informed any of us that he’s retiring,” Celtics spokes-man Jeff Twiss said.

If he goes, O’Neal retires fifth all-time with 28,596 points, 12th with 13,099 re-bounds and a .582 field goal percentage that is second only to Artis Gilmore among play-ers with more than 2,000 bas-kets. His free throw percentage of .527 - well, now is not the time to dwell on that.

“I’m a little bit sad,” said Pat Riley, the Heat president who was also the coach when O’Neal won a title in Miami. “It’s the end of an absolute 20-year career. Great, great player. ... The league’s going to miss Shaq. I’m sure Shaq will do something big and beyond.”

O’Neal’s contributions to basketball went far beyond his presence on the court.

One of the most charismatic players in NBA history, O’Neal was a franchise-saver when the Orlando Magic made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1992 draft.

He took them from the lot-tery to the playoffs in two years, and then led them to the NBA finals in his third year before they were swept by the Houston Rockets.

O’Neal, 39, signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996 and had his greatest success there, winning three titles alongside Kobe Bryant and coach Phil Jackson. But amid tension be-tween O’Neal and Bryant after a loss to the Detroit Pistons in the finals, O’Neal was traded to the Heat in the summer of

2004.After 3 1/2 years in Miami, a

tenure that included his fourth NBA championship, O’Neal became a veteran-for-hire, moving to Phoenix and then Cleveland and finally Boston. But he couldn’t deliver another title for Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire with the Suns, with LeBron James with the Cava-liers or with the Celtics’ Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

“What a career for Shaq Die-sel!!” James wrote on Twitter. “The most dominating force to ever play the game. Great per-son to be around as well. Com-edy all the time!!”

At each stop, he endeared himself to the fans and his new teammates with his efferves-cent smile and playful attitude, including the habit of adopt-ing a new nickname that he felt embodied his role with his new team. In Phoenix he was the “Big Shaqtus”; in Boston, the “Big Shamroq.”

He also embraced social net-working, amassing almost 4 million followers on his Twit-ter account, where fans could find out his next move or even the “random acts of Shaqness” - like sitting in Harvard Square, pretending to be a statue, or going out in drag on Hallow-een.

But O’Neal’s off-court per-sona couldn’t disguise the fact that he was getting old, and while he showed he could still play with younger opponents he couldn’t manage to stay on the court with them. He missed a week in November with a bruised right knee, a week in December with a calf injury and another in January with a sore right hip.

He returned for three games - a total of about 34 minutes - be-fore missing the next 27 games with what the team called a sore right leg. Although the in-jury was originally expected to keep him out just a few games, his absence stretched to more than two months.

He returned to play in one more regular-season game but lasted just 5 minutes, 29 sec-onds before reinjuring the leg and limping off the court. He missed Boston’s entire first-round series against the New York Knicks and made two ap-pearances against Miami, a to-tal of 12 minutes, and scored two points.

In all, O’Neal averaged just 9.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 20.3 minutes this season while playing in 37 games - all career lows.

SHAQUILLE O’NEAL RETIRESASSOCIATED PRESS

The Rebels struggled mightily against the pass in 2010; ranking 11th in the Southeastern Confer-ence in passing yards per game given up at 246.3 and dead last in the SEC in interceptions with six interceptions.

Compare those six interceptions to the SEC leaders Alabama and Florida, which both recorded 22 in-terceptions and it’s easy to see Ole Miss lacked playmakers at defensive back and safety.

To fi x this, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt brought in Keith Burns from Kansas State to coach the secondary and moved Chris Vaughn over to coach the safeties this season. Unfortunately for both Burns and Vaughn, depth is a major question mark at both positions.

At cornerback, sophomore Charles Sawyer has a hold on one of the starting spots after a solid spring practice. Sawyer oozes po-tential and has a chance to be a special player before he leaves, but the 5’11” Sawyer must show more consistency than he did last year. Ole Miss coaches are waiting for the fl ashes of brilliance that Sawyer showed, while recording 49 tackles, two interceptions and a fumble re-covery last season, to happen much more often.

Listed behind Sawyer on the post-spring depth chart at one of the cornerback spots is redshirt freshman Cliff Coleman. After redshirting last year, Coleman is still a raw player at the position but will have a chance to make an impact on the fi eld in 2011.

Senior Vincent Moss stepped over to corner in the spring and performed quite well for someone who previously played safety and

wide receiver.At the other corner spot, senior

Marcus Temple and junior-college transfer Wesley Pendleton are listed as co-starters. Temple, who started all 12 games last season, had to miss spring practice after having surgery for a sports hernia, but will be back in time for fall practice.

Pendleton was signed in the 2011 recruiting class and was able to enroll in January in order to par-ticipate in spring practice. Coaches raved about Pendleton’s speed and ability as he ran with the starters for most of the spring. Ole Miss will count on Pendleton to bring some veteran leadership along with play-making ability and elite speed to an otherwise young group of corners.

Ole Miss needs more bodies and hopes to get those reinforcements by August. Signees Senquez Gol-son and Nickolas “Snoop” Brassell present the two best options at im-proving the secondary out of the freshman class.

However, Golson is a huge Ma-jor League Baseball draft risk while Brassell could see action at wide re-ceiver where help is needed as well. Both are great talents at the posi-tion and would immediately push for playing time if and when they hit campus. At safety, it’s more of the same. Senior Damien Jackson is now the leader of the safeties after the graduation of Fon Ingram and Johnny Brown.

Jackson, a junior college transfer from the 2010 signing class, made an impact last year as he immedi-ately became one of the hardest hitters on the Rebels defense on his way to recording 68 total tack-les along with a forced fumble. Jackson excelled in run support last

season, so the Rebels have worked on improving his pass coverage this spring to make his game more complete.

Behind Jackson at free safety is sophomore Frank Crawford, an-other young player in the Rebels secondary. Crawford got plenty of reps in spring practice when Jack-son was injured with a shoulder injury and showed fl ashes of being able to contribute in 2011.

At strong safety, sophomore Brishen Matthews is listed as the starter with junior college trans-fer Ivan Nicholas behind him on. Matthews, a sophomore in 2011, played in 12 games last season for Ole Miss, recording 15 tackles. In-creased strength and consistency have Matthews in position to be-come a key cog in the Rebels de-fensive secondary this season.

Nicholas, the younger brother of current Atlanta Falcons linebacker Stephen Nicholas, enrolled in Janu-ary along with Pendleton, and was able to go through spring practice. While his athletic ability was read-ily apparent and on display in the spring, Nicholas struggled adjust-ing to the speed of the game as most new players do.

With plenty of options coming in at the safety position from the 2011 signing class, including Cody Pre-witt, Chelarvez ‘Chief ’ Brown, ju-nior college transfer Aaron Garbutt and recent signee Denzel Nkemdi-che, there has been talk of moving Nicholas down to linebacker.

With depth an issue at both posi-tions, Ole Miss will count on instant impact from a good number of the players signed in the 2011 recruit-ing class in hopes of an improved secondary this season.

This series has long been anticipated, especially for the Mavericks. Dallas hopes to get revenge on the Heat af-ter their monumental collapse in the 2006 Finals. The Mav-ericks were on the verge of a three game to nothing lead in the series, leading the Heat 89-76 with 6:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, before Dwyane Wade led the Heat’s improb-able comeback to win Game 3 followed by three straight games to claim the 2006 NBA Championship.

Aside from the rematch of the 2006 Finals, this series will end with either Dirk Nowitzki or LeBron James getting what they have so desperately hoped for: a championship ring. This is the second trip to the finals for both Nowitzki and James.

James and Chris Bosh both signed with the Heat in the off-season to join Wade in hopes of becoming a trio that would win a championship like the Boston Celtics’ trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierece and Ray Allen. Just a few months later, the new “Big 3” took down the Celtics in the Eastern Confer-ence Semifinals, and now, they are just three more wins away from fulfilling their dream of

an NBA Championship.Dallas looked to be in con-

trol shortly into the third quar-ter before Wade and James be-gan making play after play to give the Heat the victory. Wade scored 15 of his 22 points in the second half, while James finished with a team-high 24 points in the win.

While Miami is thrilled to come out on top and have a 1-0 series lead, they know there is still a long way to go.

“It’s one game, and that’s it,” Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We’re already moving on.”

After the first game of the 2011 NBA Finals, it looks as though the series could go ei-ther way. However, Game 2 is vital for Dallas, and Nowitzki knows just how important it is.

“We’re a veteran team,” he said. “You can’t get down with a loss. You’ve got to come back strong on Thursday. I’ve said it a couple times in this playoff run, if you’re the road team, you’re happy with a split. So we’ve got another opportunity on Thursday to get one.”

It looks as though this series could be a nail-biter, but there are several key factors for each team to follow if they plan on hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Key Factors for the Heat

If the Heat continues to play like they did in the first game of this series, there is no rea-son the “Big 3” will not get the outcome they have longed for.

Miami must get out in tran-sition every chance they get not only to use their athletic advantage but, also to tire the legs of the older Mavericks.

The Heat must continue to play team defense and contest every shot. Bench players like Mike Miller and Mario Chalm-ers must continue to step up and make big plays.

James and Wade will get their stats, but it is up to Chris Bosh to be the final piece of the puzzle to claim the title.

Key Factors for the Mavericks

In order for the Mavericks to claim victory in Game 2 and head back to Dallas with a series split, they must play intense defense all four quar-ters.

While it is a difficult task to defend James and Wade, they must do their best to keep them out of the paint and make them jump shooters. With players of that talent, there is no stopping them. Ja-son Kidd, Shawn Marion and

DeShawn Stevenson must step up defensively.

Next, the Mavericks must get more support from their bench like they have through-out the playoffs. Jason Terry and Peja Stojakovic must make big shots and J.J. Barea must be the energizer he has been all season long.

Lastly, Dallas must do a bet-ter job of getting defensive rebounds if they wish to have any chance in this series. In Game 1, Miami got far too many second- and third-chance opportunities, which must be corrected in Game 2.

If rebounding becomes a consistent problem for Dallas, their magical playoff run will not have a storybook ending. The Mavericks had a problem rebounding in the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder. If they let that con-tinue to happen against Miami, they will not be able to contin-

ue to win games. The Heat has too many experienced players to let games slip away like the Thunder did.

James and Wade have been tearing it up in the fourth quarter as of late. In the Bulls’ series, James stole the show in the fourth, but on Tuesday, Wade had a terrific second-half performance to get his team the win.

“For me, going into the fourth quarter, it’s winning time,” James said.

If the Mavericks come out firing on all cylinders in Game 2, they can take the series back to Dallas tied at one game apiece.

From there, Dallas must win two of the three games at home in order to have a chance in the series. If they cannot do that, chalk a championship up to the “new look” Heat.
