ASB Senate rejects student election campaigning amendment
The Associated Student Body Senate voted against a bill Tues-day night to amend the ASB Constitution and Codes con-cerning campus elections. The bill proposed that students could campaign nine days prior to an election rather than the current eight-day setup. It would also have required student campaign-ers to stand at one of three loca-tions: the Circle, Union Plaza and in front of Fulton Chapel.
ASB Senators Rod Bridges, Austin Dean and James Parrett, and ASB Attorney General Rob Pillow presented the bill in hopes to amend the ASB Constitution and Codes before spring ASB elections. Pillow proposed the bill after hearing complaints from stu-dents and faculty members.
“This was a part of my (cam-paign) platform,” Pillow said. “It covered a lot of the things I want-ed to do (in office).”
The authors also added two
new clauses that limited the number of students allowed to campaign per candidate at each location. The bill set a limit of 20 students per candidate at the Union Plaza, 15 students in the Circle and five students in front of Fulton Chapel.
Pillow thought the bill would make it easier for students to get to and from classes on election day by decreasing the amount of congestion on the sidewalk.
“I was hoping to appease a lot of the people who had expressed their concerns over the large number of (campaigners) and hopefully to create a campaign process that enticed more people to come out and vote instead of deterring,” Pillow said.
Senator Thor Goodfellow sup-ported the bill saying it was his duty as a senator to keep the stu-dents’ interests in mind.
“The fact that less than a third of students vote in ASB elec-tions shows the fact that students

Students walk past campaign volunteers on campus during this fall’s personality election. The ASB Senate rejected an amendment Tues-day that would limit the locations that students could campaign for candidates in student elections on campus.
Green fund for sustainability rejected by ASB Senate
The Associated Student Body Senate voted Tuesday evening to reject a resolution in favor of es-tablishing a five dollar green fee to be assessed all students’ tuition. The proposed fee was intended to bolster the UM Green Fund, an existing pool of money to pro-mote sustainability projects on campus.
The resolution was rejected by a 17-26-9 vote.
ASB Senator Vivian Paris said that the amount proposed pre-vented most senators from being able to back the measure.
“Let’s go with two dollars,” Paris said. “The problem is the amount — the issue is not that you’re paying, it’s the amount. I believe it was, and the people I was talking to believe it was.”
Currently, the UM Green Fund is supported by a $15,000 base-line annual contribution from the university in addition to student
donations matched by 50 percent university support.
The Green Fund supports on-campus initiatives such as reduc-ing the number of water bottles used on campus by popularizing stylized “H2OTTY TODDY” water bottles and installing Hy-dration Station dispensers on campus.
Co-author of the university’s Green Fund Charter Will Bedwell said the vote of the senate was dis-appointing, but will not deter Stu-dents for a Greener Campus from supporting the cause of sustain-ability through funding initiatives.
“Tonight we came to ASB with quality data about how about how the student body felt about this issue,” Bedwell said. “We explained what all we have been through in working on this cam-paign for years, exactly what it was and what could be done to support both the cause and their constituents – sadly, they didn’t do

Picture this: Girl. 18 to 22. Nike shorts. Oversized T-shirt. What’s the first word that pops into your head? For many Ole Miss students, it’s probably “sorority.” But this assumption might not be true. These are the kind of assumptions that Humans of New York (HONY) has been able to challenge.
If you’re unfamiliar with HONY, here’s how it works. Brandon Stanton, who start-ed the project in 2010, stops strangers on the streets on New York and asks if he can take their picture. His original goal was to photograph 10,000 people; he never imagined cap-turing the attention of the na-tional — and international — community.
Along with each photograph, Stanton asks the person one question that is often extremely personal. Questions include: What was the saddest/happi-est moment in your life? What do you want to be when you
grow up? When couples are photographed, the question is usually: What’s your favorite thing about (the other person)? These photos are then posted to his blog, as well as the Face-book page, which has amassed over 1.7 million likes. Several hundred of the photographs are now featured in Stanton’s new book, “Humans of New York,” which climbed to No. 1 on The New York Times’ hard-cover nonfiction best-seller list.
Looking through the pic-tures, I am struck by the di-versity displayed in the photo-graphs. There are people of all ages, of all races, from all back-grounds and from all walks of life. There are college students and elderly couples; construc-tion workers and businessmen; young children and teachers; street performers and immi-grants; people whose faces are obscured by makeup and some who wear none at all.
We tend to just pass by other people, unless they stand out in some unexpected way; and, if we do notice them, we usu-
ally just pass judgment. Our day-to-day activities take pre-cedence over the opportunities we have to connect with others. HONY, however, celebrates the value of each and every human being. We, as humans, are not simply objects to be overlooked as part of the scen-ery. Every person can offer a unique perspective, shaped by his or her own experiences and backgrounds. To function as a healthy and prosperous com-munity, it is important to ap-preciate the wealth of perspec-tives our country has to offer.
Yet, despite the physical dif-ferences highlighted in the pic-tures, the subjects’ words reveal similarities. Each picture does allow the world a glimpse at a completely unique individual. But the stories often are based on common human emotions and shared experiences of hu-manity — hope and regret; joy and grief; life and death.
Some stories reflect pure happiness. One man, photo-graphed holding a bouquet of flowers, told Stanton, “Some-
times, when I’m going home to see her, I think, ‘No one should be this happy on a Tuesday.’”
Others are steeped in grief. When asked about the sad-dest moment of his life, one young man responded, “When I got taken away from my mom when I was six.”
It is remarkable how much people open up to Stanton and share some of the most private, and oftentimes painful, aspects of their lives. But perhaps it’s because, as Brandon Stanton told The New York Times, “there’s a comfort, an affirma-tion, a validation in being ex-posed to people with similar problems.”
I think that’s the most im-portant lesson one can learn from HONY: the idea of com-munity and relatedness of hu-man beings. While two people may look completely different in appearance, they often share similar stories of overcoming obstacles, experiencing sorrow at the loss of a loved one or the

joy of falling in love. People ex-press regret over past mistakes and hope for a better future. They share stories of financial hardship; offer pieces of advice for future generations and re-flect on big accomplishments in their lives. Although the details of the stories may differ, com-mon threads run through them.
Maybe the politicians in Washington D.C., could learn a
few lessons from HONY. If we recognized the inherent value in all of humanity, it might be harder to support policies that degrade the dignity or respect of individuals. If we focused on shared experiences, rather than concentrating on the things that separate us, we could truly prosper as a community and a country.

Reading between the Iranian red linesCOLUMN
Over the past weekend, talks in Geneva between Iran and the United States, permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany took place addressing Iran’s economic sanctions and nuclear program. The ideal was to ar-rive at an agreement in which Iran’s nuclear program would come to a screeching halt.
In return, a limited number of the economic sanctions cur-rently levied against Iran would be lifted. The three-day nego-tiations yielded no deal, but they certainly produced new perspectives as to who is making the diplomatic power plays and why. Spoiler alert — Secretary of State Kerry is bending like a willow in the wind to those with actual foreign policy knowledge.
The United States entered the Geneva talks with arms full of possible solutions and left it to Iran to choose what they found palatable. This would have merely been a soft negoti-ating tactic rather than a sign of dangerous pacification, had the United States not been quietly lifting some of the economic
sanctions Iran currently bears. Watering down the sanctions implemented on Iran was the United States means of luring them to the negotiating table, a clear diplomatic olive branch to the mullahs of Iran. Seen as a reasonable gesture by some, it’s seen as a sign of weakness to extremist regimes like the one in question. A rookie mistake that’s also a shining example of the pitfalls inherent with hand-ing out high-level state positions as campaign favors.
For an increasingly lame-duck American president whose ap-proval ratings are dwindling, and a secretary of state fresh out of blundering his way through a public fiasco orchestrated by the increasingly formidable Vladimir Putin, military action with a radical nuclear power is something to be avoided at all costs. Those costs were laid clear in Geneva: Iran will not abandon its nuclear program. The best offer put forth by Iran was a six-month hands-off of its program, which left its nuclear warhead-making capabilities completely intact and available to resume at any time.
The real issue on the negotiat-ing table is that Iran’s need for a break on their economic sanc-tions doesn’t come close to out-weighing how much they want a nuclear weapon. As Iranian President Rouhani stated in a
speech to the National Assem-bly reported by Iran’s Student News Agency (ISNA), “For us there are red lines that cannot be crossed. National interests are our red lines that include our rights under the framework of international regulations and (uranium) enrichment in Iran.”
As Iran’s economy only be-comes more abysmal and pub-lic discontent threatens to soar back to the rebellion levels of 2003 and 2007, action must be taken in some form on be-half of the Iranian people. If the newly elected Rouhani fails to bring about his touted “bet-ter relations with the West,” he then must deliver on the oppo-site front, that being the creation of a nuclear weapon. Israel rec-ognizes the policy limbo Iran is in, with its refusal to give up any of its nuclear program making it clear in Geneva, but does the United States?
The U.S. and Israel have
long stood as allies, particularly against the extremism coming out of the Middle East. With Israel geographically embed-ded amongst enemies, turning their national defense capabili-ties into an offensive tool for se-curity has been crucial to their survival. The United States, on the other hand, enjoys peaceful neighbors and ocean borders, with our largest border problem being that of illegal immigra-tion. Nonetheless, the U.S. rare-ly shies away from implement-ing military force in the face of dire situations unreachable with diplomatic maneuverings — until now.
With Israel and its can-do de-fensive attitude missing from the talks at Geneva, it was assumed that it would be present in the platform taken up by Kerry. But, alas, Kerry was far more vested in producing a diplomat-ic agreement that would look good than in dismantling Iran’s
nuclear program. Assuming Iran continues with its nuclear production, it will inevitably ob-tain the means to craft a nuclear weapon. Not if, but when this occurs, the United States and her allies would be forced to take military action against the newly nuclear state.
The longer Kerry can stall with temporary treaties, even without obtaining difficult-to-reach solutions, the further off boots on the ground and jets in the air over Iran becomes. That is, until Israel is smeared off the map with one or two strategi-cally placed nuclear weapons of Iran’s.
The talks are scheduled to re-sume on Nov. 20 and will go fur-ther toward showing either the depth of United States’ naivety, or where the Obama adminis-tration’s true sympathies lie.

Campus Connections, a new lecture and production series at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts, aims to bring together the community while also introducing students to the stage community.
Norman Easterbrook, direc-tor of the Ford Center, hopes these programs will engage and connect with what is being taught in the classroom and on the stage, according to a news release from University Com-munications.
“With our Campus Connec-tions, we seek to extend the classroom experience to what happens on our stage, and we hope the entire community will take advantage of what we have to offer,” Easterbrook said.
Students have already begun taking advantage of the activi-ties the Ford Center has to of-fer.
“I have never really been to anything at the Ford Center, but I went to a show recently for class and thought it was re-ally entertaining,” said Charlie
Maynard, a sophomore busi-ness major from Houston, Tex-as.
Kate Meacham, who handles marketing for the Ford Center, has been actively promoting these events.
“Campus Connections shows are marketed to the campus and community through adver-tisements and social media,” Meacham said. “We are also working directly with various academic departments to pro-mote specific shows. In addi-tion, we have met with different student organizations to pres-ent upcoming events directly to them. We have also had mar-keting events at the Student Union with small preview per-formances in the plaza to pro-mote shows.”
The first show, “Fahrenheit 451,” was performed Nov. 4, showcasing Ray Bradbury’s novel about an oppressive so-ciety in which firemen burn books. Aquila Theatre, a non-profit company that tours many cities in the United States and has gained much acclaim over the years, performed the piece and participated in a discussion
group. The next performance, “Let-
ters Home,” is set for Nov. 13, showcasing real letters written by soldiers in Iraq and Afghani-stan. A New York Times article entitled “The Things They Wrote” was the inspiration be-hind this piece. The company performing this will be Griffin Theatre Company, which does many literary adaptations.
The last Campus Connec-tions performance will be “Re-quiem,” by Giuseppe Verdi, set for Nov. 17. The Mississippi Symphony Orchestra will be pairing up with The University of Mississippi Chorus to pro-duce this collaborative work.
Easterbrook encouraged not only students to attend, but fac-ulty, staff and Oxford residents as well.
“The emphasis is on engag-ing students, faculty and staff in observing and considering these events in the context of their coursework,” she said. “It’s an exciting environment, and we hope that others in the community outside of the cam-pus will join in these explora-tions.”

don’t want to be bothered by it,” Goodfellow said. “I think anything we can do to relieve the pain of them having to deal with campaigners on campus on campaign day is something we should do because we don’t just represent the third of stu-dents who vote. We represent every student at this university.”
Senator Luke Love noted that while he didn’t disagree with the bill in its entirety, he felt the bill limited students’ right of free speech.
“On our campus we actually have a green light for freedom of speech,” Love said. “I just believe that it does infringe the right to freedom of speech to impact the amount of people allowed to campaign for a spe-cific person.”
Despite the outcome, Pillow was pleased with the senators’ discussion on the bill.
“Of course I’m disappointed that the bill failed. In the end it didn’t work out my way, but I trust the judgment of the ASB Senate.”
The bill failed with 25 sena-tors voting in negation of the bill, 19 voting in affirmation and nine abstaining from vot-ing.
that.”Bedwell said student input
was lacking in the discussion sur-rounding the issue of funding.
“I challenged the senators to speak out, if their constitu-ents were against it, and no one seemed to know where their constituents stood,” Bedwell said. “We were the only ones in the room who knew how stu-dents felt and were able to prove that, but still found that our reso-lution was voted down.”
Senior public policy major Taylor Cook visited the Senate in support of the initiative.
“I don’t think that a lot of stu-dents realize that we already pay fees, and that they are wrapped up in our tuition,” Cook said. “We pay fees for athletics, al-though some students have nev-er gone to games; we pay fees for the Turner Center, although many students do their workouts outside of that gym; we pay fees for the student health center, al-though people may go to private doctors in town. But, we decide as a student body that these things are important, and I think that we can all agree that breath-ing clean air and drinking clean water are important; therefore, sustainability is.”

The Biggest, Baddest Art Show kicks off
CHRISTINA HUFF | The Daily Mississippian
A reception was held Tuesday night for the Biggest, Baddest Art Show at the Powerhouse in Oxford.
BY SARA ELIZABETHBAKER
The culture of Oxford is un-like any other. With the best food, literature and music a person could ask for, Ox-ford citizens also raise the bar when it comes to art. The Biggest, Baddest Art Show is a exhibit of local art hosted by the Artists Guild and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council each November.
The exhibit opened at the Powerhouse on Nov. 9, and will continue until its closing on Dec. 15. The Biggest, Bad-dest Reception occurred on Nov. 12, celebrating the artists and their work.
Established more than 45 years ago, The Oxford Art-ists Guild is made up of local Oxford artists of all talents and mediums, including pot-tery, basketry, painting, glass fusing and jewelry, according to their website. The Artists Guild hosts events for both children and adults each year, in order to educate about and share their love of art with oth-ers.
“It’s important to support lo-cal artists and local artwork,” said Artist Guild President Laurie Baylock. “It makes Oxford a better, more livable
community for everyone.”More than 40 members of
the Oxford Artists Guild and 70 art works of various styles will be celebrated during The Biggest, Baddest Art Show. The artists include Oxford na-tives, University of Mississip-pi alumni, and other members of the community.
The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is also an organiza-tion devoted to the artistic and cultural community of Oxford. The annual hosting of the Big-gest, Baddest Art Show is just one of many events the Arts Council promotes throughout the year.
“The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council devotes the gallery each November to the Art-ists Guild,” said Stacy San-ford, the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council Outreach and Educa-tion Coordinator. “The Artists Guild is a group of artists who support each other while creat-ing their own works and many are thriving members of the Art Council.”
Sustaining and supporting the Oxford art community is the goal of not only these im-pressive organizations, but also many others in the area. Ole Miss students are also aware of the importance of art in education.
“Art is so important in learn-
ing, from elementary to high-er education,” said Caroline Brasher, freshman elementary education major. “So many studies prove that art strongly influences cognitive growth.”
Studies have shown that art education in elementary stu-dents helps to improve test scores and a background in art, especially theater, helps grad-uating high school students in college acceptance, according to Sanford.
Exposure to art in people of all ages can better the develop-ment of oneself, culturally and emotionally. Groups such as the Oxford Art Guild and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council are proof of the significance of art in learning and community.
“Engaging the public in the art and encouraging that in the community is the best way to create life-long learners,” San-ford said.

When Hugh Freeze took over
as head coach at Ole Miss, he
said he had to get the Rebels out
of the wilderness. Freeze said he
had to get his team to be com-
petitive week in and week out
in the SEC and recruit at a high
level. This past season, Ole Miss
and Freeze accomplished part
one, going 7-6 in his fi rst sea-
son. On Wednesday, he com-
pleted the second part, landing
23 prospects that garnered the
Rebels a spot in the top 10 in all
four major recruiting services’
class rankings, including the No.
2 recruiting class on 247sports.
com and No. 5 class on ESPN
– the best rankings in program
history.
This year’s class is highlighted
by four fi ve-star signees – defen-
sive end Robert Nkemdiche,
offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil,
safety Antonio Conner and wide
receiver Laquon Treadwell. Ole
Miss also had six four-star re-
cruits to help bolster the class to
a place a Rebel recruiting class
has never gone.
“Obviously we are thrilled
today,” Ole Miss head coach
Hugh Freeze said. “I just left
the Quarterback Club meeting,
and to just see the passion and
energy of the Ole Miss people,
we take a great sense of pride in
knowing that we can bring joy
to the Rebel faithful.
“It was thrilling to obviously
fi nish strong today and the year-
long plan that we had.”
Freeze and his staff’s year-
long plan appeared to be just
the right thing to land their de-
sired targets, and he had noth-
ing but praise for his staff on the
job they did in the recruiting
process. However, a little added
assistance from players did not
go unnoticed by the head coach.
“Our staff, who I think we
have some of the rising stars
in this profession, and the way

Freeze prepares for familiar foe in Trojans
It will be the first time that Ole Miss and Troy meet on the gridiron Saturday, but as the Rebels prepare to face their fi-nal nonconference opponent of the year, they will have a bit of familiarity with the Trojans.
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze has coached against the Trojans in a Sun Belt matchup while he was at Arkansas State. In his time with the Red Wolves, Freeze faced Troy once and was able to get a 45-14 victory. It’s been a couple of years since that game, but Freeze says that systematically, Troy does the same things.
“Very little,” Freeze said of Troy changing since he faced them. “It’s a new defensive co-ordinator, but it’s very similar, maybe a little more man. I went back and watched my two years against them, and it’s still simi-lar.”
Troy brings in one of the
best offenses in the Sun Belt this season, which ranks second in scoring offense (34.6 points per game), first in total offense (478.5 yards per game) and first in pass offense (324.4 yards per game). The Trojans (5-5, 3-3 Sun Belt) enter Saturday’s matchup on a two-game losing streak, but put up 37 and 36 points in those games, respec-tively.
“They always have offensive weapons that are scary,” Freeze said. “They’ve been able to put up points against everybody they’ve played this year with the exception of one team. They’re a scary team offensively because they are going to spread you out and they are athletic.”
The Trojan offense is led by quarterback Corey Robin-son, who is one of the nation’s top passers already racking up 2,828 yards through the air with 19 touchdowns. Robinson cur-rently leads the Sun Belt in pass-ing yards per game and is third
in passing efficiency.“I think he’s got a quick re-
lease,” defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. “He’s thrown for a lot of yards in his career. He’s had his ups and downs at times, he’s been banged around, he’s been in-consistent at times, but he is dangerous from the standpoint of having a great arm and a quick release.”
Wommack said he isn’t much of a run threat, Robinson only has one rushing touchdown on the year, but that if he has to, he can carry the ball.
“He will run it, but he doesn’t want to run it,” Wommack said. “That’s what he’s shown. I know we said the same thing two years ago when we got ready to play him at Arkansas State, and I think two of the first six snaps they ran the quarterback read and he kept it, but that was about the extent of it.”
Robinson’s go-to guy will be Eric Thomas who leads the team with 53 catches for 835 yards and 11 touchdowns. He ranks second in the Sun Belt in receiving yards per game.
“He’s a good receiver,” Wom-mack said. “I don’t think he’s a burner, but he is a good receiver that is going to go get the ball and finds ways to get open. I think he is effective.”
