Ben Guest, program man-ager for the Mississippi Teacher Corps, estimates that one-third of children in Mississippi are living in poverty, and possibly more.

The goal of the Mississippi Teacher Corps is to address the shortage of teachers in the Mis-sissippi Delta, which is one of the highest areas of poverty in the country according to Guest.

“The Mississippi Teacher Corps is a two year teaching program designed for non-edu-cation majors,” Guest said. “We take college seniors who are not majoring in education and give them highly specialized training and put them in high-poverty school districts in Mississippi.”

The group targets rural areas like the Delta and inner-city areas such as Jackson, because those are the places where pov-erty is more prevalent and where proper education is most absent.

The goal of MTC is to bring in outstanding students who may not have been interested in education, and turn them into outstanding teachers.

Students who work in the MTC program receive full teach-er’s pay with benefits, as well as a master’s degree in education from the University of Missis-sippi.

“90 percent of our participants stay involved in education once they have completed the pro-gram, 70 percent are still K-12 teachers or administrators some-where in the country, 50 percent stay for a third year in the school district they were placed in,”

Guest said. Guest said that working in a

critical needs district can prove challenging for long term teach-ers, and most will move to a more successful district or one closer to home.

“We live in a country where the quality of a person’s educa-tion is directly related to the zip code they’re born in,” Guest said. “A child born in the Delta as op-posed to Oxford will not get the education they deserve.”

One of the reasons MTC brings in outside students is be-cause Mississippi has a teacher shortage; low pay and low-in-come districts will not draw in a large group of qualified teachers.

“I feel like a child with a bet-ter pre-college education can be better prepared for a more eco-nomically productive lifestyle,” sophomore Classics and Psychol-ogy majors James Evans said.

Guest said that in any given year, there are more teacher va-cancies than there are certified teachers in Mississippi.

“Schools of education, which I am a part of, do a poor job of preventing potentially ineffective teachers from entering the pro-gram,” Guest said.

Because of this, Guest said any teacher that is certified will be hired, regardless of whether they are good or not.

“It’s very difficult for a poorly

educated population to ade-quately assess what is wrong with it, and that’s what is happening now,” Guest said.

Guest said he believes that possibly more than one-third of children are in poverty because the poverty line has not been adjusted since Lyndon B. John-son initiated it during his presi-dency.

“I commend this program be-cause they’re looking down the road. They’re not trying to put a Band-Aid over the scar; they’re trying to stitch the scar up,” math major Josh Culley said.

TEACHER CORPS ADDRESSES POVERTY IN MISS.BY BLAKE JOHNSONThe Daily Mississippian

The 50th Annual Christopher Longest Lecture will take place Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Bondurant Auditorium.

Professor Mahdi Alosh will fly in from Syria to speak at the lec-ture about the negative stereo-types often given to Arabs and Muslims in the United States.

“My objective is not only to provide knowledge, but also a reason or an incentive to change perspectives if possible,” Alosh said.

The average person blindly denounces all Arabs and Mus-lims as evil, Alsoh added.

He referenced an Arabic prov-

erb that says “One is the enemy of what he does not know.”

In his lecture, he wishes to grant knowledge and hopefully reshape perceptions of the Mid-dle East.

Alosh is a former professor of Arabic and associate dean at the United States Military Acad-emy.

He is also an oral proficiency tester of Arabic and a grant pro-posal evaluator for the United States Department of Education and Department of Defense.

Alosh said that he is excited to interact with Ole Miss students, dents at the University of Mis-sissippi.

Type “Belize” into a Google Images search and up come dozens of photos of mag-nificent coral reefs, gorgeous beach sunsets and beautiful girls in bikinis.

Indeed, this tropical paradise is what a group of Ole Miss stu-dents who signed up for Kim Shackelford’s Wintersession class last year in San Pedro, Belize, expected to find. What they didn’t expect to find was a community of people living in eternal ruin.

In swampy San Mateo, an impoverished community of 1,500, the students found se-rious infrastructure problems. Not only did the residents lack adequate water, sewage and electrical services, they had only a shoddy system of elevat-ed wooden planks for roads.

In the words of one of the students, my brother Jake McGraw:

“Walking over the marshy ter-rain of San Mateo was treacher-

ous. The local government did not construct roads to connect the community’s shacks to the main thoroughfare, so the resi-dents built an extensive system of footbridges instead. These bridges were constructed with whatever could be found - 2x4s, plywood, sheets of plas-tic - and were nailed together haphazardly. The people in San Mateo called them “Lon-don Bridges” because, as in the nursery rhyme, they are always falling down.”

Compelled to help out, seven students organized three com-munity meetings attended by more than 100 residents, who quickly arrived at the con-sensus that their community needed a real road. Residents organized into committees that would oversee the construction of the road, and the students pledged to support the effort with money and volunteers.

The new coalition of stu-dents and residents turned

into the San Mateo Empower-ment Project, which recently received nonprofit status. To date, the students have raised more than $19,000 to finance the construction of nearly 700 linear feet of sand-and-rock roadway.

The students, many of whom have now graduated, serve as a shining example of Chancel-lor Jones’ call for service and a reminder that we can do great things when we work toward a common goal.

Many of you are members of organizations that require a certain number of community service hours each semester. I hope you don’t settle for the minimum, and I hope all your hours don’t come from attend-ing Greek philanthropy events (as great as they are). Lately I have been slacking, and I am eager to finish some projects I have been neglecting. I bet many of you feel the same way.

In my experience, service is most meaningful when you see a problem or people in need and you choose to act. The students who went to Be-lize last winter realized that, and they have since improved 1,500 lives.

You don’t have to go to Be-lize to find problems or people who need help.

Go by Interfaith Compas-sion Ministry on North Lamar Blvd. and ask for Lena Wiley or go by the Boys and Girls Club on Washington Ave. and ask for Christy Grice. They’ll tell you what you can do here in Oxford.

As college students we have a unique ability, and I think re-sponsibility, to effect positive change through service. Are you doing your part?

SPEAKING OF THAT: START TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO SERVE

BY TAYLOR MCGRAWColumnist

Congratulations, freshmen! You’ve almost made it through your first semester of college life, and you are probably thinking you only have one last hurdle to jump...finals.

Well, surprise!There is actually one more

sneaky college conundrum that everyone must face right before those end-of-semester exams. In fact, you have probably already started this phase of first semes-ter.

Welcome to “cold season.”Call it the flu, sinus problems,

an upper respiratory infection, or the crud. All might be dif-ferent, but they all lead to one thing - long lines at the Student Health Center and a feeling of death.

Last week the mysterious “sick bug” caught up with me. As someone who hates to miss classes (don’t judge me!), I spent most of the week in bed lament-ing all of the missed notes and handouts that I would not be receiving.

I slept all weekend. I drank plenty of water, and took nu-

merous medications. I only left my warm dorm

room to pick up food and a pre-scription.

Now that the week is here, all of that rest really did help. Even though I would not describe myself as completely better, I am at least now a functioning hu-man being.

That being said, I must warn those freshmen that are in good health: You will get sick.

It seems to be an essential part of college that everyone gets sick at least once between midterms and finals. If you’re lucky, you might even get to experience the joys of illness twice.

Now getting sick at college is a lot different than when you get sick at home, and there are a few things you are just going to have to get used to.

1. No one is going to wait on you hand and foot.

Mommy and Daddy might have treated you like you were king or queen of the house when you were sick back in high school, but now you are a grown-up.

Your roommate might be nice enough to go out and pick up some medicine for you, but most likely, you just need to suck it up and deal. I know you feel bad. Everyone feels bad when they are sick.

That should not stop you from making your way to the phar-macy or to the cafeteria. Certain things are essential when you are ill such as food, water and medi-cation. Make sure you get them.

2. Friends, professors, and random students will see you looking your worst.

As much as you try, it will be literally impossible to stay holed up in your dorm room until you are completely better. I know from experience. Again, at home you have a whole house to roam and parents to cater to your ev-ery need. Maybe you have a few friends to help you out, but in all honesty, you are on your own here.

No way can you stick out your entire cold in one room. Even if you manage to stay in all week-end, eventually you will have to leave for class, and you will

probably still look like crap.3. Thirsty Thursday will

consist of you drinking noth-ing but water.

OK, OK– that was lame, but you know exactly what I mean. If you want to get better, that means no partying.

Drink lots and lots of water.Take lots and lots of Nyquil

(but not too much).Call your mom and listen to

what she has to say.Rest is the only thing that will

really help you get through this nasty sick season, so if you have to skip a concert or a weekend trip, skip it.

I missed an awesome weekend in Atlanta because of my nasty upper respiratory infection, but all the rest I got truly made me feel better.

Just remember most of you are going to get sick. It is just the way of life here in college. If you are just now getting sick, stay away from me. I am finally getting over whatever I had, and I do not plan on being one of those lucky students who gets sick twice.

Please do not sneeze in my direction

Dear Eliza,I met this guy out one night and

he seemed really sweet and inter-ested in me. He did all the right things and even asked me to go to the game with him. I was really ex-cited and happy because I thought I had met a nice guy. However, Satur-day finally came and it was getting kind of late so I ended up just meet-ing some of my girlfriends. It really disappointed me that I never heard from him. I don’t want to come off weird or creepy, but what should I do? Forget about him, or call and find out what happened?

Disappointed Dear Disappointed, It’s awful being stood up, and

it happens to the best of us. This guy probably didn’t mean to stand you up either; most likely it was a miscommunication. There could also be a million other excuses and you may never know why he never called, but the one thing you can do

is to just let it go. Act as if it doesn’t bother you.

I’m so glad you still went to the game with your friends; you should never wait around for a guy. Even if you are sad, you need to go out. I know you’re thinking that you’ll just be in a bad mood and not have fun at all, but once you’re out you’ll forget all about him and you could even meet someone else!

In life, things don’t always go per-fectly, so it’s better to just go with the flow and don’t have any expecta-tions. That way if he never calls it’s okay because you have other things to do and have lots of options.

If something good does happen, like the guy you like shows up, then that’s great too. You just can’t expect people to treat you the way you would treat them.

This is a difficult concept that even I have trouble with, because I always want to make those around me happier and when I’m upset or

something goes wrong, I tend to ex-pect people to do the same for me, but it usually doesn’t work out that way.

My advice for you is to just brush this off and act like you don’t care. Guys don’t like drama, especially if you’ve just met this guy, so you definitely don’t want to be all dra-matic. That won’t make him want to be around you because all he’ll be thinking about is what he can and cannot do to not upset you, and that’s just too much work.

Wait and see what he says - it will probably be a lame excuse - but just hear him out and give him a chance. However, if he keeps standing you up, just forget about him, he’s not worth it.

There are plenty of other guys out there that wouldn’t forget about you.

Hope this helps!xoxo, Eliza

Two years ago on November 18, a great man died.

He was good in every part of his life. Though he was a man of very few words and couldn’t hear for most of the time I knew him, he communicated his kind and gentle heart in many ways.

This man was my grandfa-ther. He died of Alzheimer’s at the age of 90.

It seems I barely knew my grandfather. I know he was a very hard worker and he loved my grandmother more than anything.

They were married for over 60 years. He cared for animals and his land. He loved my fa-

ther and uncle. He loved me.His was the first death I’ve

ever experienced. It was partic-ularly hard because I was not able to come home and be with him and my family during his last days. I had to say goodbye to him over the telephone.

What does my grandpa have to do with anything? He was part of a continually dying breed of man.

He was a gentleman. He passed those traits onto

my father. They are both just good men,

the likes of which I have only found one other of.

The selection of men in the world is just depressing if you think about it. I am extremely lucky to have a boyfriend who has had good men raise him

like I had raise me. I have not found anoth-

er like him before or since. They are just few and far be-tween.

Part of the problem of be-ing unable to find good men has to do with what we women demand. Most girls are unlike me in that I would not settle for anything less than someone like my father and grandfa-ther.

It is what I had seen growing up and is what I expected in my mate.

It took much patience but it finally happened.

I am the most impatient per-son in the world, I think. But it seems people are even more impatient with me.

People just don’t like think-

ing about the future and about how they want to be treated. I realize I’m probably more old-fashioned than most, but why would you want to be with someone whom you’ve settled for?

Perhaps I am just very blessed to have had two wonderful grandfathers and the best fa-ther in creation.

I really don’t know what it’s like to have anything other than extraordinary people in my life.

Maybe some of you men don’t know how to be good be-cause you haven’t seen it.

Next time you are in a rela-tionship, ask yourself if the way you are treating your girlfriend is the way you would want your mother or sister treated.

Ladies, ask yourself if your dad would approve of this guy.

Yes, I’m lucky. God has im-mensely blessed me by putting amazing people in my life.

Perhaps this is more of an homage to my family than a request for a change in men.

Men and women have always been the same and will always be the same.

The thing to think about is, are you someone your children will remember with love and admiration?

Will they look back on your choices and know that you were a good person?

That’s all we really should be remembered by: what kind of a legacy we leave for those we love.

Al Hope, Director of Human Resources for the City of Ox-ford, is head of a department that he describes as the glue in the process of getting quality employees for the city.

“We make sure that employ-ees are taken care of through our process,” he said. “Within the department of Human Re-sources, we have what we call the seven bodies of knowledge, which help us accomplish our goal of providing qualified em-ployees that provide service to the citizens of this city.” Looking at Hope’s desk, a

transparent glass surface reveals at least a dozen $1 and $2 bills, which he describes as the may-or’s way of rewarding directors of the city departments during staff meetings.Hope said at the end of the

staff meeting, the mayor asks them to come up with an idea that could save money or make

operations here in the City work even better and whoever’s ideas appear most economical and influential to the mayor re-ceives a $1 or $2 bill.“Obviously, I have quite a

few,” Hope said with a smile.An Oxford native, Hope

graduated from Lafayette High School and began his career in the army. He visited various parts of the world as a result, including Panama and Ger-many. Hope said he doesn’t get to

travel as much anymore, but enjoyed his experiences.Since fishing is one of his fa-

vorite pastimes, Hope said he spent much of his time in Panama fishing in the Panama

Canal and going to the beach every day.“During our breaks from

training, we would go swim-ming or fishing,” he said. “On the weekends, we would go and rent a boat, take it down to the Canal, and go fishing. Then we could find a Panamanian to cut and clean our fish for about ten cents a fish.”Hope said he also enjoyed the

culture he found when he was deployed to Germany with the army for the first time (he has been twice) in 1975. Other than travelling, Hope

also expressed the enjoyment he finds in music and his love of playing the saxophone.“I love jazz,” he said. “But I

gotta say I like Snoop Doggy-Dogg, too; I like some rap.” He retired in 1994, after 21

years, four months and two days of service, and took a job in Kansas as a Human Relations manager. In 2002, Hope found his way

back to Oxford, where he ap-plied for the position he now holds in a department he said he has advanced tremendously over the past several years.“The City is just a very good

place to work; it is a family en-vironment, and we all feel that way.” Hope said. “But it is not my job. It is a job that was en-trusted to me by the citizens of Oxford, and I live up to that expectation.”

modern languages depart-ment, said the lecture series is a great way to let people know what is going on with the de-partment.

From its beginning 49 years

ago, the lecture series has striv-en to promote well-known spe-cialists from all over the world to speak at these lectures.

Dyer said that his depart-ment has made a point to craft the lecture series into an an-ticipated yearly event, and that one of its many benefits to the University is the promotion of languages.

The Christopher Longest Lecture began in 1961. It is an annual event co-hosted by the modern languages department and the English department.

Every year, the lecture series brings a speaker with a spe-ciality in a certain language to campus.

The series was designed by Ann Waller Reins, wife of

Christopher Longest, in his honor.

Christopher Longest grad-uated from the University in 1900 and later returned to serve at the University as a Spanish professor and as chairman of the department of modern languages.

Longest also held the po-sitions of Acting Chancellor and Registrar among many others while at Ole Miss.

This Thursday, the lecture series will reach its 50th year at the University of Missis-sippi.

The event is free and open to the public.

Productions of “Fiddler on the Roof ” and Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will both play at the Ford Center this week.

“Fiddler on the Roof ” will be performed by a national touring Broadway produc-tion. The cast is comprised of professional Broadway per-formers from New York.

“‘Fiddler on the Roof ’ is a very well-known musical that has been in the news lately,” said Kate Meacham, assistant director of marketing at the Ford Center.

Both the playwright, Joseph Stein, and one of the produc-tion’s composers, Jerry Balch, won Tony awards for the original production of “Fid-dler on the Roof ” in 1964.

“It was one of their major hits,” Meacham said.

Unlike the stereotypi-cal musical, “Fiddler on the Roof ” has a more serious tone and deals with more serious subjects, Meacham went on to say.

A live Web cam will be film-ing as the production is set up at 8 a.m., and all early birds are welcome to participate.

The show is tonight at 8 p.m.

Tickets range from $32-$42 for general admission; for students who are mem-bers of the Cultural Passport program tickets are $15 for orchestra seating and $10 for the balcony.

All seating for Fiddler on the Roof is reserved.

The Aquila Theatre will perform “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Friday at 8 p.m.

Aquila Theatre is also a professional touring company based in New York City.

Ticket prices are $28 for Orchestra/Parterre and $20 for Mezzanine/Balcony seat-ing. Student tickets are $10.

On Saturday at 1 p.m., the Aquila Theatre Company will present Ancient Greeks/Mod-ern Lives at the University of Mississippi Museum.

This presentation is a stage reading of excerpts from Greek classics.

Following the reading will be a moderated lecture and discussion led by Peter Mei-neck, artistic director of Aq-uila Theatre.

The main idea of the read-ings and lecture is to present the Greek classics in a mod-ernized way so people can relate and share the same ex-periences. They want to in-troduce modern audiences to Greek texts.

The theme of presentation is “Homecoming: the Return of the Warrior.”

When thinking of an art exhibition, vi-brant antique works of Renoir or thought-provoking modern art of Warhol usually comes to mind.

However, the new Southern Folk Art Experience at the University Museum is more colorful and unique.

It portrays a side of the South that is familiar yet uncommon.

These works are usually panned by crit-ics as unskilled, but the charm lies in the fact that these artists have created these paintings using only what they had at hand.

Better yet, these artists are self-taught.According to Robert Krause, a curator

at the University Museum, the purpose of the exhibition is “to explore the com-plex cultural and social themes engaged by southern folk art while visiting previ-ous criticism that posited the self-taught as supposedly outside of an artistic main-stream constructed by critics and schol-ars.”

Each one of the artists whose works are featured in the exhibition has a story.

M.B. Mayfield worked on the janitorial staff at the University of Mississippi, and he listened to art lectures from a nearby broom closet.

William Faulkner bought his supplies and encouraged him to work along with

the Art Department staff– which is a feat, considering that this took place in the 1950s, when the University of Mis-sissippi was segregated.

Purvis Young, a native of Miami, Fla., began painting at 18 when he was impris-oned for breaking and entering. Young believed that his passion for art saved him.

His works, done on discarded objects such as doors and cardboards, brought attention to the poverty and crime that surrounded him as a child.

James “Son” Thomas, Delta blues mu-sician and sculptor, spent most of his life working as a gravedigger. To purchase his first guitar from Sears & Roebuck, he worked in the cotton fields.

Reverend Howard Finster built a garden park called Plant Farm Museum in Sum-merville, Ga., and created over 46,000 paintings because of a vision he had at three when his late sister prophesied that he was going to “be a man of visions.”

These tales are only a sample of the sto-ries past behind the paintings.

Not only are the tales unconventional, but the means of creation.

Luster Willis used shoe polish, cheap watercolors he found in drugstores and finger paint.

He often painted on plywood, old em-broidery, fabric scraps or school tablets.

SOME EXCLUSIONS

BATTLE OF THE EGG BOWL

On Saturday the University Museum will hold one of its Family Activity days from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Children and grown-ups alike can take part in creating their very own piece of folk art.

The activity day is inspired by the museum’s current exhi-bition, the Southern Folk Art Experience.

The exhibition is curated by Robert Krause, a doctoral candidate in U.S. history and graduate assistant at the Uni-versity Museum.

“This Family Activity Day

will focus on the artwork of Mose Tolliver, who was an Alabama folk artist,” said Wil-liam Andrews, the museum director.

The cost of taking part in the activity day is free for museum members at the fam-ily level and above and $5 for non-members.

“This is a great opportu-nity,” Andrews said. “Parents and their kids can explore and learn together and create a work of art that is an inspiring memento of their trip to the museum.”

To sign up for the activity day, register online at muse-um.olemiss.edu.

Registration ends today.

Sign-up for the University Museum Family Activity Day ends todayBY RACHEL WALKERThe Daily Mississippian

I scream, you scream, we all scream for dumplings.

Everyone knows the puffy pil-lows and chewy chicken good-ness called the “dumplin’.” Yes, “dumplin’.”

Dumplings are probably my favorite recipe Nana made. She made them all the same size and thickness. Each bite was a small bite of heaven.

In Nana’s cookbook, every-one in my family was assigned to give his or her version of Nana’s recipe. Some chose her fried chicken and apple pie. My favorite happened to be her dumplings.

I was five at the time, and my recipe went like this: I told my aunt, “Get a big bowl and put spaghetti soup, put salt and pepper and then I would get a straw and put a little coke on it.

Put a little sauce in it. Get some chicken and stir it up. Put it in the oven for 5 minutes on 2 de-grees then...you eat it.”

If you have any idea what “spaghetti soup” is, please let me know, because to this day I still have no idea what it means. You may not want to try that recipe.

On a tastier note, I actually have the real thing. This is not just any recipe like the ones before. This one I can remem-ber from walking into Nana’s kitchen, seeing her in her apron rolling out the dough on wax paper, boiling the chicken for the dumplings and making sure every layer had the perfect sea-soning.

She covered the dumplings in black pepper, which I do to this day.

Each dumpling had to be the same size or it simply would not work.

This dish took most of the morning to make, and Nana usually started them early so she could make it to Sunday school.

Nobody wants a late organ player! Being married to a Bap-tist preacher, she was on call day and night.

After church, we would come home to a warm house. My cousin and I raced to the pot to see who would be the lucky one to get the first pick. I always picked out the chicken.

Each dish is very special to me but this dish hits home.

When I eat dumplings, re-gardless of who cooked them, I stop and think, I wish Nana were here. I am then happily re-minded she is waltzing with my Papaw Tynes right above me.

I encourage everyone to at least try to make the dish. It may seem a tad complicated, but do it for Nana. She is watching.

BY KAYLA TYNESThe Daily Mississippian

Recipe of the Week: Nana’s Dumplings NANA’S DUMPLINGS

Boil a whole chicken or 8 to 10 pieces of chicken for a generous amount of broth. Salt and pepper to taste. When chicken is tender, remove from broth. Strain broth and add margarine, if needed for richness. De-bone chicken. Wash boiler to remove boiling sediment; return to boiler.

Dumpling dough:Mix to make a stiff dough, knead until smooth. This will be stiffer than biscuit dough, which will actually improve dumpling texture. Using a well-floured rolling pin or a long, straight blass, roll dough until thin.

Let dough rest for ten minutes.Bring broth to a roiling boil and drop dumpling squares, one at a time, allow-ing each dumpling to be immersed freely in the broth. Using a fork or spoon, push dumplings aside to make a “hole” for each dump-ling. Turn heat to lowest level and cover dumpling pot. Allow dumplings to steam for 15-20 minutes. Shake dumplings periodically to loosen dumplings, but don’t open and stir. Turn heat off and allow to set for 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup milk, more margarine if needed, debonded chicken, a sprinkle of black pepper. Cover and let set until ready to serve. If liquid is all absorbed, add more broth or more milk according to taste.

used in his early sculptures was from the banks of the Yazoo River.

Jim Sudduth used mud mixed with a variety of materials such as soot, axle grease, sugar and coffee on canvases such as scrap lumber, sheet metal and plywood.

These methods and materi-als came under fire by the critics who claimed that due to the lack of proper education and the rudi-mentary materials, these paintings should not be considered master-pieces.

This controversy only adds inter-est to the gallery.

William Andrews, museum di-rector, said this exhibition is the biggest the museum has dedicated to Southern folk art.

These pieces of art were collected from all over the South, from Vir-ginia to Alabama to Oxford itself.

The exhibition started on Oct. 1, and will go until Dec. 11 in the Skipwith Gallery.

Following this exhibition, the University Museum will host a quilt showcase.

On Friday night Ole Miss will tip off the 2010-2011 campaign against John Brady’s Arkansas State club in Oxford. Yet there’s already pessimism within the Rebel fan base in re-gards to this season’s basketball squad. I understand. You’ve seen Ole Miss teams perform well in non-conference play only to scratch .500 in South-eastern Conference play and finish the season in the Nation-al Invitational Tournament.

You want it all, baby. NCAA Tournament berths every sea-son should be the norm. You have every right to strive for the best for your school just as the coaches and players ex-pect the best from themselves. However, maybe patience is a virtue best suited for the cur-

rent situation. It’s all right to be disap-

pointed in missing out on such highly touted recruits as Cleveland standout Johnny O’Bryant or Lepanto, Ark. na-tive Ky Madden. By the way, recruitment for both of the aforementioned prospects is not yet over. Some on the vari-ous Ole Miss message boards have even posted about Ken-nedy and his staff having lost their touch at recruiting. So I ask, when has Ole Miss ever been in contention for blue-chip recruits such as O’Bryant or Madden prior to the current staff taking over?

The answer is never.According to Rivals.com,

Ole Miss’ own Terrico White received offers from Ole Miss, Arkansas, Georgia State and Valparaiso. White’s hometown school, Memphis, didn’t re-

cruit him until it was too late. And, yet, White was drafted in the second round of the NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons and subsequently signed a pro-fessional contract. Only one other school in the SEC can say that they had a player sign a contract following the 2010 draft: Kentucky.

Take a look at Chris Warren. The very same Internet recruit-ing site states that Warren’s of-fers coming out of Orlando’s Dr. Phillips High School were Ole Miss, Florida Atlantic, James Madison, Old Domin-ion, Central Florida and Vir-ginia Commonwealth. That’s one high-major offer for a guy that comes into the season ranked 15th on Ole Miss’ all-time scoring list. And while I am sure there wasn’t jubilation over Warren’s signing from the fan base, it’s hard to ignore the

fact that he will go down as one of the best players to wear a Rebel uniform.

Even after signing recruits that seemingly flew under the radar in high school, this Ole Miss staff has churned out three 20-plus win seasons in four years. That’s not to men-tion that this same staff has won two SEC West Division titles in that same time span.

So you’d think there would be tons of support coming from every direction of the fan base. To an extent there is, but by and large there is not.

All Kennedy has to lure kids into playing at Ole Miss is the new Basketball Practice Facil-ity, the recent 20-win seasons and a player in the NBA. That’s it. The staff already has a di-lapidated Tad Smith Coliseum and a lukewarm fan base, at its best, working against them.

Certainly Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I would argue that rebuilding Ole Miss’ bas-ketball program might be a far greater task.

Remember, this is a program that, prior to White being drafted by the Detroit Pistons, had just one player selected in the NBA Draft this decade. The program’s winningest coach, B.L. “Country” Graham, has an overall losing record and the only coach who came close to passing Graham’s record of 144 wins, Rod Barnes, left the Ole Miss program in mostly shambles following his depar-ture in 2006.

And with that, Kennedy and staff have produced 85 wins in four seasons with a chance to make their first NCAA Tour-nament appearance in 2011.

Let’s just hope the fan base shows up to see it.

BY KORY KEYSColumnist

Andy Kennedy’s Rebels an exercise in patience

“I spent many nights praying, asking God to guide me in the right way,” Shackelford said. “I think ultimately he led me here and I couldn’t have made a better decision. Sometimes you have to make the right decision over what you’ve been believing for so long. I’m happy here at Ole Miss.”

Shackelford is happy with his choice to play at Ole Miss, and the Rebels coaching staff is certainly happy with his decision as well. As a freshman, Shackelford emerged by playing significant minutes at the linebacker position, accumu-lating 20 tackles, an interception and two forced fumbles before in-juries caused him to miss time.

This season, a finally healthy Shackelford has arguably been the Rebels’ best defensive player, see-ing time at both the linebacker and defensive end positions this year. After the loss of star defen-sive end Kentrell Lockett to inju-ry against Fresno State, Ole Miss needed to find someone to gener-ate pass rush on the defensive line, and Shackelford was that player.

“D.T. is outstanding and valu-able because he was at linebacker, but because of injuries up front we had to move him down,” Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said. “He’s fighting hard and adding pressure on the tackles and ends. He was the best guy to put the pressure on; we saw that from the linebacker spot. We want to keep him going from there.”

In terms of which position he plays on the field, Shackelford is indifferent to where to he lines up. All he wants to do is his job wherever the coaches put him.

“It’s really nothing new to me – to play different positions,” Shack-elford said. “I played linebacker and put my hand in the dirt at de-

fensive end in high school, so this is not new to me. Once you get on the field, it’s about seeing the ball and going to get it.

“It’s whatever, I don’t mind. Whatever you can do to help the team, you do it with all the pas-sion and energy you’ve got. Any-thing to help win, I will do it.”

Heading into Saturday’s game against his childhood favorite team, Shackelford looks forward

to showcasing his talents in Ney-land Stadium, a place where he thought he would be playing col-lege football a few years ago.

“It’s going to be a very excit-ing game,” Shackelford said. “I watched games there, took a visit there, a lot of different things I was able to do at Tennessee. I thought that was going to be my home but it ended up not being. I’m excited to go back up there and play.”

Growing up, Ole Miss linebacker D.T. Shackelford had one dream: to play football at the University of Tennessee. That dream was ful-filled when former UT coach Phil-lip Fulmer offered the Decatur, Ala. native a scholarship, which he quickly accepted by committing to the Volunteers.

“Don’t ask me why someone from Alabama turned into a Ten-nessee fan, but I was one my whole life,” Shackelford said. “I was just never an Alabama or Auburn fan and I don’t have an explanation why. My dream growing up was to play at UT.”

Things changed, however, when Fulmer was fired, and Lane Kiffin was brought on board. While Kif-fin immediately worked to keep Shackelford committed, D.T. had other plans. Those plans had him ending up at Ole Miss, and the sophomore is thrilled with how things turned out.

Ole Miss linebacker/defensive end D.T. Shackelford is congratulated after a big play by teammate LaMark Armour during the game against Vanderbilt. Shackelford was at one point committed to Tennessee – the Rebels’ opponent on Saturday – before signing with the Ole Miss.
