Ole Miss is in the NCAA tournament for the first time in a decade and will look to knock off the Wisconsin Bad-gers in the second round today at 11:40 a.m. from the Sprint Center in Kansas City on TruTV.

Sophomore point guard Jar-vis Summers was cleared to play and practice with the team Wednesday before participat-ing in a shootaround Thurs-day, according to Ben Garrett of OMSpirit.com. This will be Summers’ first game back after suffering a concussion against Missouri last Friday in the SEC Tournament.

In his absence, freshman point guard Derrick Milling-haus had been moved into the starting role, and sophomore guard LaDarius White had switched from wing to point guard.

Fifth-seeded Wisconsin brings a slower tempo and a sti-fling defense. Wisconsin ranks 321st out of 345 teams in pos-

sessions per 40 minutes, while Ole Miss ranks 16th in the na-tion in that regard.

Defensively, the Badgers al-low just .9 points per posses-sion, 12th best in the country, while Ole Miss scores 1.09 points per possession, good for the 29th-best offense in the country.

Wisconsin allows 13.4 at-tempted 3-pointers per game, but just 3.9 makes. The Bad-gers’ 29.2 percent 3-point de-fense ranked 11th in the nation.

“I’m sure that they’re going to try to chase our guys off of that 3-point line,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “But (ju-nior guard) Marshall (Hender-son) is so unusual in that ev-erybody tries to keep him from getting shots.

Henderson has attempted at least six shots from beyond the arc in every game this year and is averaging 10.8 attempts per game with 3.9 of them going in.

Ole Miss will not have to play perfectly to knock off Wis-

Recognizing rampant rape culture

CorrectionConcerning the article “Sum-mer experience for Ole Miss law students,” which ran in

the Wed., March 20, edition of The Daily Mississippian.

Steubenville has a guilty ver-dict, but it barely feels like a victory for women. The case, which garnered national atten-tion due to social media, put two teenage boys on trial for raping a 16-year-old girl last summer. Cell phone pictures and text messages composed much of the evidence. The girl did not remember anything from the night.

Trent Mays, 17, was sen-tenced to at least two years in the state juvenile system, and Ma’lik Richmond, 16, to at least one year. Both could end up being there until they are 21.

Sounds like a pretty harsh sentence. I have no idea what Mays and Richmond are go-ing to do without that one or two years of their life, which are definitely wasted spent in

the state juvenile system (read: not real jail) reflecting on their abhorrent behavior of callous-ly committing rape and feeling absolutely no remorse about it until there was an inkling of a chance that their football ca-reers were being derailed.

Before this angry tangent spirals out of control, let me get to the heart of the matter. People only cared about this rape case because it concerned young football stars and You-Tube. Rape and sexual assault happen literally every day to young women all over this country, and not a word is said about it.

The American public looks at this Steubenville debacle as if it’s a novelty. It’s suddenly breaking news because social media is involved, but really, the basic story is the same sto-ry that unfortunately remains untold for millions of women.

I’m not exaggerating when I say millions. Roughly 17 mil-lion American women have been victims of attempted or completed rape. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an at-

tempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Every two min-utes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.

In fact, 97 percent of rapists will never spend a day in jail. I guess a few years in the state juvenile system sounds like a real achievement then, in com-parison.

Is it naïve of me to expect more from the American pub-lic and from our judicial sys-tem? Probably, but it doesn’t mean I should lower my ex-pectations of society’s moral compass. Rape is the most unreported crime. Part of that can be attributed to the fact that many women are raped by people they know: friends, acquaintances, husbands, boy-friends. Women are less likely to go to the police and turn their boyfriend in, but even more worrisome, they often don’t recognize that it’s rape.

That aside, our society’s ap-proach to rape and sexual as-sault discourages women from reporting the crimes against them. People are apt to blame victims, attributing a girl’s fate to her choice of dress or alco-

hol intake. Women also feel ashamed. Our society puts so much worth on a woman’s sexual reputation that women don’t want to report they’ve been raped.

And if a woman actually does report the crime, the sys-tem makes it almost impos-sible to follow through with prosecution. Out of 100 rapes, 46 get reported. Out of those, 12 will lead to arrest, nine will get prosecuted and five will lead to felony conviction. Does it disgust anyone else to know that out of those 100 rapes, three of the rapists will spend even a single day in prison?

The sensationalism of Steu-benville might bring attention to the rape culture we have in this country, or people may only care when there are of-fensive pictures and videos on-line involved.

Regardless, while you’re deciding, someone is getting raped.

for medical services for low-income people who cannot af-ford the services on their own. Each program varies in fund-ing by state.

According to the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expan-sion applies to anyone under the age of 65 whose income falls below 133 percent of the federal poverty level.

Moak said he supports the expansion because he be-lieves it will bring more direct jobs in the medical field and save taxpayer dollars if these health costs are covered by Medicaid expansion instead.

Clyde Deschamp, professor and chair of general health professions at UMMC, said the issue is not about who sup-ports expansion, but whether the state can afford it. The federal government would provide funding for the ex-pansion for the first few years, but eventually the state would be required to match federal funding and ultimately take over payment entirely.

“Getting more low-income people on Medicaid is cer-tainly good from a humanitar-ian perspective,” Deschamp

said. “However, the question centers around whether or not Mississippi can afford the extra cost as the responsibility for funding of the program be-gins to shift to the state.”

Eventually Mississippi would have to pay a consid-erable amount to continue Medicaid expansion. Unless these federal funds were redis-tributed, the state would have to significantly cut funding to programs such as education or social services, increase taxes or require a mandatory contri-bution by health care facilities in order to continue funding, according to Deschamp.

He said the decision needs to be made whether Medicaid expansion is worth the cuts to other programs and the likely tax increases it would require.

Deschamp said hospitals that serve large numbers of low-income patients have the potential to benefit sig-nificantly from the expansion, but hospitals located in more affluent areas are likely to be only slightly affected.

“We have to determine whether we want to take the federal money … and provide health care to our citizens or not.” Moak said. “I think that once legislators start see-ing that this is going to be a huge financial loss to the state

of Mississippi if we don’t take these funds, they’re going to think about it again.”

State Rep. Brad Mayo, R-Oxford, is opposed to the ex-pansion. Mayo said the state will lose a disproportionate amount of money if legislators decide to expand the Medic-aid program due to the even-tual expectation of full fund-ing coverage by the state.

“I don’t think anyone be-lieves that the (federal govern-ment will) be able to afford this program,” Mayo said. “I really think we’ll end up being on the hook for what would be equivalent to our matching funds of every other Medicaid dollar.”

The consequences of the de-cision could be far-reaching, according to senior pharmacy major Jess Xie.

“Our state is not in that good of an economic situation right now, and the increase in costs translates into a big bur-den on us,” Xie said. “But at the same time, it might end up saving us money six to 10 years down the road.”

Moak said he would like to see a decision made by the end of the current legislative session in April, but it is more likely that legislators will come to a decision this sum-mer.

the public.In addition to updating

the balcony, a deck built in 1986 will be replaced as well. The total cost for this will be $30,000.

“We’re all having a bit of fun with this,” Howorth said. “And enjoying the opportuni-ty to connect with the people who support Square Books.”

According to Howorth, since the sale was announced on the store’s Facebook page and website two weeks ago, 340 pieces have been sold, raising a total of $1,750. These funds will go toward the renovation costs as well

as bonuses for the employees.Charles Berry, an employ-

ee at the store, said the suc-cess of the sale is due to the historical importance of the pieces.

“Lots of authors have sat up there (on the balcony),” Berry said.

Howorth gave credit for the idea to Square Books em-ployee Travis Smith, a gradu-ate student in The University of Mississippi’s English de-partment, and to a carpenter who asked to have a plank for his stepsister after she asked to have a piece of the build-ing’s history.

“The balcony has been such a public space, and so many former students and visitors have good memories of being there,” Howorth said.

dIY: how to buy tires and know which ones you need

it may not seem like it, but buying tires is one of the most important and crucial aspects of vehicle maintenance. the tires affect all aspects of performance from handling, braking, acceleration, comfort and fuel economy. they are also one of the most expensive forms of maintenance, so it’s important to do research before buying.

1deteRMIne IF You need new tIRes

The easiest way to tell is to use a quarter. Put the quarter in the tread of the tire with Washington’s head up, and if the tread doesn’t reach the base of Washing-ton’s neck, you need new rubber. Also, cracks from dry rot and bulging are signs that you need new tires, regardless of the tread depth.

However, if the tire is flat and has enough tread and no signs of bulging, crack-ing or tearing, you do not necessarily need to change it. It could be flat because A) there is a crack in the wheel (which will need to be replaced or repaired), B) there is a hole in a tire from a sharp object, like a nail, that can be plugged with a $10 kit from Walmart (or patched professionally if you prefer) or C) you forgot to put air in it.

2 deteRMIne what tIRe You need

The easiest way to deter-mine what tires you need is to find the code on your current tire’s sidewall. It will look something like this: P275/60R20 114S. Each part gives information about the tire in relation to your car.

The “P” stands for pas-senger vehicle, “275” is the tire’s width in millimeters, 60 means the sidewall’s height is 60 percent of the tire’s width. “R” stands for radial tire and “Z” indicates that the tire is rated for speeds above 149 miles per hour. “20” is the di-ameter of the wheel in inches, “114” is the load index and “S” is the maximum speed the tire can safely travel. “M+S” stands for “mud and snow” and means that the tire can manage these types of surfaces.

You can always just get identical tires to what you al-ready have, too.

3deteRMIne wheRe to buY YouR tIRes

Because tires are expen-sive purchases,it is advised to shop around before you buy. You pretty much have three choices: online, tire store or dealership.

The cheapest places are online retailers like Tire Rack or Discount Tire. That’s also sometimes the only place to find uncommon tires. How-ever, they only ship you tires, so you’re going to have to pay someone to mount and balance them.

Tire stores are more expen-sive, but they have the added benefit of mounting and bal-ancing the tire for you. The best thing is to get your tire size and call around to find the best price.

Dealerships are usually the most expensive, but they are the place to go if you want original tires. However, the online stores may have them, as well.

4take caRe oF YouR new tIRes

Make sure you take care of your tires so that they will last the 40,000-50,000 miles they are supposed to. Always keep them at the recommended tire pres-sure (this also helps with fuel economy) and check to make sure there are no pointy objects in them ev-ery once in a while.

Houston Baptist last week, sweeping Georgia this past weekend and picking up an-other midweek win over Dal-las Baptist earlier this week.

The Rebels and Aggies have a history, but not enough for Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco to say his team is fa-miliar with them. The teams have met five times overall, with Texas A&M leading the series 3-2. Most recently, the Rebels won a matchup, 6-3, in a 2012 NCAA regional hosted by the Aggies.

“I wouldn’t really call it fa-miliarity,” Bianco said. “Just because we finished there (last year). A lot of those guys aren’t there. It was only one game. I know Coach (Rob) Childress does a great job. They won a world series a couple of years ago, but we don’t know much about their program.”

The Rebels will send junior right-hander Bobby Wahl to the mound to open the series Friday night. Wahl is 5-0 on the year and is coming off a solid start in his last outing against Arkansas, going sev-en innings and only allowing one run, while striking out five. The Aggies will coun-ter with senior right-hander Kyle Martin. Martin holds a 2-2 record on the year and is

second on the team with 30.2 innings pitched so far.

Junior right-hander Mike Mayers will get the nod Sat-urday against the Aggies in his second career outing against them. In the regional last season, Mayers earned the win after going 6.1 in-nings and striking out nine. Mayers is currently 2-1 on the year. Texas A&M will send sophomore right-hand-er Daniel Mengdon to the mound to face the Rebels on Saturday. He holds a 3-1 record so far this season and leads the team with 34.2 in-nings pitched.

Ole Miss will turn to soph-omore right-hander Sam Smith Sunday to wrap up the series. Smith is 2-0 on the year and has stepped up to fill the gap left when sopho-more right-hander Chris El-lis went down with an injury early in the season. The start will be Smith’s sixth of the season.

Ellis, who was originally Ole Miss’ Sunday starter heading into the season, said he is close to being ready to make an appearance on the mound.

“It’s coming along great,” Ellis said of his rehab. “I threw a bullpen Sunday and threw one (Tuesday), and I feel really good now. No soreness at all, just ready to get out there on the game mound.”

Ellis said there is a possi-

bility he could see action this weekend in relief, but ulti-mately, the decision will be made by Bianco.

“It looks like I’ll throw an inning or two in relief hope-fully,” Ellis said. “(Bianco) didn’t really specify a day, but probably Sunday; that’s my guess.”

At the plate, the Rebels will be led by junior catcher Stu-art Turner, who is off to a hot start. He leads the team and the conference in batting av-erage at .474 and also leads the team in hits (36), doubles (9) and RBIs (30). The Reb-els will also look to sopho-more center fielder Auston Bousfield to produce hits. He is currently second on the team with 30.

The Aggies are led by se-nior infielder Mikey Reyn-olds, who holds a .448 bat-ting average, which leads the team and ranks him second in the conference only be-hind Turner. He has 39 hits on the year with five doubles and 11 RBIs. Sophomore catcher/infielder Cole Lank-ford will lead Texas A&M in power with three home runs on the year and a team-high 15 RBIs.

First-pitch times are set for 6:30 p.m. (Fri.), 7:30 p.m. (Sat.) and 1:30 p.m. (Sun.)

Ole Miss senior wide receiver Philander Moore was dismissed from the football team Thursday for a “violation of team rules,” according to a team spokesman.

Moore came to Oxford two years ago after a stint at Blinn Community College. The 5-foot-9, 188-pounder was looked to be a special teams playmaker, but Moore averaged -1.4 yards on five punt returns this past season.

In 2011, Moore averaged 21.7 yards on kickoff returns but never saw action there last sea-son. At wide receiver, the Austin, Texas, native had four receptions for 38 yards and one touchdown in 2012.
