Mississippi is struggling with high rates of poverty, according to recently re-leased data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The 2011 census shows that more than 128,000 families in Mississippi live below the poverty line. The federal pov-erty level for a family of four is around $23,000 in income, and 22.6 percent of Missis-sippians were members of families whose incomes were below this figure.

Additionally, the median household income in Missis-sippi of $36,919 fell far below the national median house-hold income of $50,502.

Director of the Mississippi Economic Policy Center Ed Sivak said high rates of pov-erty force residents to strug-gle.

“Families are doing more with less now because of the Great Recession,” Sivak said.

Sivak added that econom-ic security exists in quality education and health care, but this has been difficult for families to obtain due to tu-ition hikes.

“Increasingly some of the fundamental blocks of eco-nomic security are becoming out of reach.”

The census data also shows that more than 500,000 Mis-sissippians did not have

INSIDEGROVE EDITION & COMICS

A panel of individuals who were on The University of Mississippi campus during the integration riots gathered on Wednesday afternoon for an open group discussion about the violent events that took place on Sept. 30, 1962.

The panel, moderated by associate journalism professor Dr. Kathleen Wickham, was comprised of a retired univer-sity administrator, a former faculty member, students who attended the university during the fall of 1962 and a man who was a high school junior in Ox-ford during the riots.

Panel member Ken Wooten began the discussion. Wooten, a retired registrar and admis-sions dean for the university, was inside the Lyceum to as-sist the marshals and federal officials who were on site to

manage the growing riot. Against the initial wishes of the marshals, Wooten chose to go to the Circle and asked the students to return to their dor-mitories. He was struck by the scene before him.

“The tear gas had already been fired,” Wooten said. “Ev-eryone was bloody and crying from the fumes.”

Wooten was then grabbed by the crowd and used as a human shield to push its way past the barricade of marshals guarding the Lyceum. Wooten recalled the state of the Lyceum once he returned that night.

“You couldn’t walk down ei-ther hall of the Lyceum without having to step over a wounded man with a broken arm or a head injury from a thrown brick or a gunshot wound,” he said.

Quadray Kohleim, a senator whose name is on the bill, discussed the campus-wide smoking ban at a panel Wednesday night.

The Associated Student Body hosted a town hall meet-ing to discuss the campus-wide smoking ban Wednesday night.

At the beginning, informa-tion was given to the audience in regard to the reasoning be-

hind the smoking ban, after which the floor was opened for questions, comments and con-cerns.

The reason behind the new smoking ban was the overall health of the students at the university.

A survey was given by stu-dents on campus last year to

determine how they would feel about a smoke-free campus.

“Out of 14,000 plus stu-dents on campus, only 650 responded to the survey,” said Jessica Brouckaet, a public policy sophomore and direc-tor of health promotion on

Fifty years after integration — Ole Miss has come far, but still has a ways to go

C O L U M N

A half century ago, James Meredith drew the world’s attention to The Univer-sity of Mississippi when he became the first black man to walk onto campus as a member of the student body. After battling the adminis-tration, state legislature and even Governor Ross Barnett himself, Meredith was final-ly allowed to transfer from Jackson State College – after the intervention of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy,

the U.S. Marshals and thou-sands of members of the Mis-sissippi National Guard.

But on the last day of Sep-tember in 1962, for the first time since the 1860s, our little town of Oxford found itself at war.

Surrounded by 24 U.S. Marshals, Meredith safely made his way to his dormi-tory in Baxter Hall when a riot broke out on the Lyceum steps.

In an instant, the univer-sity was engulfed in tear gas and dotted with flames as the outnumbered U.S. Marshals struggled to maintain control of the growing mob.

Unaware of chaos, Presi-dent John F. Kennedy went on national television at that very hour, intending to an-

nounce the integration of Ole Miss and beg for a peaceful transition.

“The eyes of the nation and all the world are upon you and upon all of us,” he said. “And the honor of you, and your state, are in the bal-ance.”

Needless to say, few men and women retained their honor that night. Cars were burned, windows were shat-tered and hundreds of people were injured as rioters swept across campus. The violence would leave two men dead – both killed execution-style by the crowd – before National Guard troops were able to reach the overwhelmed U.S. Marshals and regain order.

The next morning, as Ox-ford reeled from the events

of the day before, Meredith made his way up the Lyceum steps and registered for class-es.

But as monumental as this moment was, Meredith was anything but joyful. “This,” he said, “is not a happy oc-casion.”

The day was Oct. 1, 1962 – 97 years after slavery ended, eight years after Brown v. Board of Education declared the segregation of public schools unconstitutional and 16 months after Meredith sent in his application – and The University of Mississippi had finally integrated.

The first time that I ever heard about Ole Miss, it was staring up at me from the

pages of a children’s picture book on racism, integration and the Civil Rights Move-ment.

Growing up in the suburbs of St. Louis, Mo., and Phila-delphia, Pa., the Civil Rights Movement received far less attention from my grade school history classes than it was justly due. It was insinu-ated at my schools – howev-er incorrectly – that the ra-cial tensions that had come to such a violent climax in the Deep South in the 1960s were virtually nonexistent in other parts of the country.

It was as if some of my teachers were implying that racism itself was a purely southern phenomenon, quarantined safely below the Mason-Dixon Line.

But with racism still alive and well in our midwestern city, my mother took mat-ters into her own hands.

She picked up where our school district left off, teach-ing us the details, triumphs and tragedies of the Civil Rights Movement.

Most importantly, she taught us that racism was

not only ignorant, but also fundamentally wrong.

Until I found the Croft Institute for International Studies in a Google search my junior year of high school, all I knew about Ole Miss had to do with three things: football, James Mer-edith and the riots in Sep-tember of 1962.

My first time in the state of Mississippi was for my college visit. I was appre-hensive and had absolutely no idea what to expect, but I fell in love with the univer-sity that I found.

Ole Miss has undergone a miraculous transformation. The university is a thriving, vibrant center of learning and acceptance compared to the source of hatred and discrimination it was 50 years ago.

Black enrollment has swelled from just one brave man to over 14 percent of the student body – a respect-able rate when compared to other universities across the country – and organiza-tions like the Black Student Union that would have been unfathomable in 1962 are not only popular, but inte-gral parts of Ole Miss cam-pus life today.

In 2000, Ole Miss made

headlines when students elected Nic Lott as the first black president of the As-sociated Student Body. This past spring, we elected Kim-brely Dandridge as the first black woman to hold the of-fice, and we elected Court-ney Pearson as the first black homecoming queen just a few weeks ago.

Having said that, we still have a long way to go.

There are many unspoken divides along racial lines at Ole Miss. A simple walk through the student union during lunch makes that point clear enough: White students tend to sit with oth-er white students, and black students tend to sit with oth-er black students.

Many fraternities and so-rorities – often believed to be a student’s key to climb-ing the social ladder – re-main segregated.

And as much as I hate to admit it, in my three years at Ole Miss, I have heard racial slurs from people of every color.

Ole Miss is a beautiful university with a dark past. In order to continue mak-ing progress in the next 50 years, we must address the problems that we have to-day and continue to look to-

ward the future.Some argue that racism

will only disappear if we stop talking about it, but I believe ignorance will only reverse the progress we have made.

Acting as if racism is a thing of the past will effec-tively erase the great contri-butions and sacrifices that brave men and women like James Meredith have given both the state of Mississippi and the U.S.

The greatest danger for Ole Miss in the next half century is forgetting what we learned in the past.

The eradication of rac-ism at our university was not accomplished by Mere-dith, and it has not yet been achieved. Nevertheless, ev-ery time I walk across our campus and see the diversi-ty we have, I am filled with hope for the next chapter in our university’s life.

Dear Editor,

I have spoken to four of my friends who last weekend visited on the occasion of the Ole Miss Rebels/Texas Longhorns football game festivities. They each indi-cated that, without exception, the treatment received and courte-ous attitude demonstrated by the Ole Miss fans was incredible.

They indicated that the hospi-tality shown at the Grove, in the stands, around the campus was unmatched anywhere. They said that such cordial conditions and overall attitude ranks the Univer-sity as being in the “top drawer category” in their estimation.

Thank you for demonstrating those good characteristics which your reputation supports.

This year, the Croft Institute for International Studies at The University of Mississippi awarded scholarships to eight freshmen: six from Mississippi, one from Louisiana and one from Texas. The scholarships are funded through the Joseph C. Bancroft Charitable and Educational Fund and gives $8,000 per year for four years.

“I knew that I wanted to be in Croft because they have such intensive and specialized programs,” said scholarship re-cipient Mackenzie Breeland.

After applying for the schol-arship, students are required to write an essay describing why Croft is the right program for them and propose a way to deal with a worldwide topic.

After assessing more than 200 applicants based on re-sumes, transcripts, GPA and ACT scores, a six-member panel selects 18 to 20 top can-didates for on-campus inter-views.

The panel consists of Croft

Institute officers, Executive Di-rector Kees Gispen, Associate Director William Schenck, Re-gional Admissions Counselor Brooke Worthy and Admin-istrative Coordinator Brandi Holley. There are also one or two professors involved in the process every year.

The interview is designed to find out more about the stu-dents’ interests and ask ques-tions about international af-fairs, where they would like to travel, if they have had a chance to travel and the types of books they enjoy.

“Our admission standards are pretty stringent,” Schenck said.

“We are looking for students who have already proven both that they are capable of suc-ceeding in a rigorous academic program, but also that they are really interested in internation-al studies.”

Breeland, who is studying French and plans to earn a Ph.D. in anthropology before becoming a museum curator, posted a 3.89 GPA and a 35 ACT score and graduated from

Ocean Springs High School. Scholars Bradley Floore,

Connor Clark, Matthew Rid-dle and Evan Heitzmann are enrolled in the Chinese Flag-ship Language Program.

Floore served as president of Future Business Leaders of America and the National Honor Society (NHS) in high school in Gautier. He posted a 4.0 GPA and a 34 ACT score.

Clark graduated from Cop-pell High School in Texas with a 3.778 GPA and a 31 ACT score. He was also involved in the NHS and served as the president of the Chinese Club.

Riddle, a National Merit Fi-nalist, graduated from Madi-son Central High School with a 3.89 GPA and a 36 ACT score.

Heitzmann graduated from St. Paul’s School in Covington, La., with a 3.78 GPA and a 32 ACT score.

The three other scholarship recipients from Mississippi are Amber Malone, Jenny Tran and Steven Wild.

Malone, a National Achieve-ment Finalist, graduated from Madison Central High School with a 4.0 GPA and a 29 ACT score.

Tran, a National Forensics League Academic All-Amer-ican, graduated from Oak Grove High School in Hatties-burg with a 4.0 GPA and a 33 ACT score.

Wild, a National Merit Final-ist, graduated from Oak Grove High school with a 4.0 GPA and a 35 ACT score.

All of the students will spend at least one semester abroad in a country where the language they study is spoken as part of the foreign language program. They are also required to main-tain an overall 3.2 GPA, which is changing to 3.4 in fall 2013, according to Gispen.

“We are going to up it be-cause the average GPA of Croft students is about 3.6,” he said.

Freshmen receive Croft scholarshipseight freshman international studies majors have been given the prestigious croft scholar title, which comes with an $8,000 per year scholarship for four years.

Mackenzie Breeland and Bradley Floore, studying at the Croft building, are two of the eight students awarded a scholarship through the Joseph C. Bancroft Charitable and Educational Fund, which awards $8,000 per year for four years.

health care last year. The state has a low amount of people who receive health insurance through their em-ployer, as well.

Yunhee Chang, an Ole Miss professor and expert in demographic economics, said the state has several risk factors which make Missis-sippians more likely to live below the poverty level.

In 2010, there were 55 births per 1000 teen women – far higher than the nation-al average of 34.3, accord-ing to the National Center for Health Statistics. One reason for this, according to Chang, is that Mississippi-

ans typically receive a lower amount of welfare.

Other factors for this high rate include age, education level and family structure, but Chang said the most prominent factor was the high teen fertility rate.

“Welfare benefits – that is a cause and consequence, but it’s something we can do to lift families out of pov-erty,” Chang said. “What we can do to help is try to lower the risk factors like educating the teens about pregnancy and fertility and how that can hurt economi-cally.”

Sivak suggested the state avoid a “cuts-only” ap-proach to the issue and fo-cus on raising revenue to make education more af-fordable.

ing across the Circle, Wooten remembered seeing “enough brick, vomit, blood, glass and anything else you can imagine” strewn across the grounds.

Lyman Aldrich, who was an undergraduate student at the time, was the second panelist to tell his story.

“My gosh, what happened? We’ve been taken over,” was his first thought upon re-entering the campus after returning from Ole Miss’ football game in Jack-son.

Aldrich thought the tensions erupted due to emotions being stirred up by local and national media. He later saw that stirring in action when a cameraman from a national news organiza-tion asked him and his friends to flip a car that had been burned because the camera crew “need-ed an action shot.”

Gerald Wilson, the next to speak, was a university employ-ee in 1962 and was provost from 1969-99. He spent time during the violence in a park where ri-oters parked their vehicles.

He remembered speaking with one man who said, “I would have been here a lot earlier if I could have been. I fought in Ko-rea and I’ll fight for my country again.” The next day at a class in Bondurant Hall, Wilson noticed a problem with residual tear gas coming in through the open win-dows.

Bob Herring, who was a ju-nior at University High School in 1962, spent most of the night roaming campus and watching the events unfold. Herring re-membered being at his home on Faculty Row, watching Attor-ney General Robert Kennedy’s speech on television and hearing the tear gas canisters popping and dispensing on campus. Her-ring said walking onto campus was like seeing a scene from outer space.

“The marshals were wearing gas masks, running around like crazy and chasing people,” he said.

Closing comments of the discussion were made by audi-ence member Effie Burt, a black woman who lived in Oxford during the time of the riots. Burt, who graduated with the very first Lafayette County integrated high school class, said that in the months after the riots, her family went to another town to purchase groceries and avoided public situations as a way to pro-tect themselves.

The event, which was held in Barnard Observatory, lasted an hour and a half and was a part of the ongoing Opening the Closed Society program being organized by the school’s Civil Rights Committee.

A portion of the time was de-voted to question-and-answer style discussion between the au-dience and the panel members.

campus. “Within the 650 sur-vey participants, 76 percent of them wanted Ole Miss to be a smoke-free campus.”

Brouckaet, one of the au-thors for the smoking ban policy, repeatedly informed the audience that there was an effort made to inform others about the survey, so he or she could vote.

“The survey was sent through the Ole Miss website and The DM,” she said.

The ASB Senate is encour-aging others to give their feed-back on the new ban.

Camp Best, student advocate for Student Affairs, explained how the university will control the negative feedback.

“The senate provides forms that people can fill out to ex-

press his or her feelings regard-ing any issue,” Best said.

Among the members of the audience were many people not in favor of the new smok-ing ban.

Connor Hagan, a history se-nior, is unsure which side he is on.

“I enjoy walking on campus

without worrying about catch-ing smoke; however, I do think that the university took away a right that the students and fac-ulty members have,” he said.

“Now that everyone knows of the new ban, there should be another survey.”

As far as what is next in re-gard to the new smoke-free

campus, Daniel Roberts, pub-lic policy junior, said the plans are to inform students and make sure everyone is aware of what is going on.

“The next step is going to be enforcement,” he said.

As of Jan. 1, 2013, citations will be given out to violators of the campus-wide smoking ban.

When Ole Miss faces No. 1 Alabama on the road Saturday to open Southeastern Confer-ence play, they’re backs are against the wall. The Rebels continue to rebuild under first-year head coach Hugh Freeze, while the Crimson Tide look stronger than last year’s nation-al championship team.

It’s undoubtedly a tough task, but they received some good news on Wednesday when sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace returned to practice. Wallace missed Tuesday’s prac-tice after sustaining a sprained shoulder on his throwing arm in this past Saturday’s 39-0 win over Tulane.

“He did everything today,” Freeze said. “It didn’t appear that his arm strength was full, but he says he was pain free and he threw it around and did fine. He’ll try to go (Saturday), no doubt. No question after today.”

Defense prepares for “physi-cal” Alabama offense

Whem asked to talk about the Alabama offense after prac-tice on Wednesday, both head coach Hugh Freeze and co-de-fensive coordinator Dave Wom-mack used the word “physical”

to describe the unit. “They’re very physical and

they believe in playing physi-cal football,” Freeze said. “It’s a difficult matchup for anybody that plays them. Their offense is very very good at what they do.”

One of the key cogs that has allowed the Crimson Tide of-fense to work so well is the of-fensive line.

This year’s line is filled with

future National Football League talents such as senior guard Chance Warmack, senior cen-ter Barrett Jones and junior tackle D.J. Fluker.

Wommack said that this Ala-bama offensive line will be one of the best lines he’s ever coached against, comparing them to the offensive lines of the 1980 Alabama Sugar Bowl team and the 2001 Georgia Bulldogs.

“They just work together so well,” Wommack said. “They’re very physical. They’re trained

physical, but they have great steps for big men; just unbeliev-able agility with their feet.”

Alabama is one of only nine teams in the country that hasn’t thrown an interception so far this season, and the Crimson Tide come in averaging 6.75 yards per play offensively.

Junior quarterback A.J. Mc-Carron has been allowed to do more in the passing game this season, throwing 10 touchdown passes and averaging more than 10 yards per pass attempt.

McCarron and the Alabama

offense will give the retooled Ole Miss secondary and the rest of the defense a chance to try and atone for the 66 points and 676 yard allowed against Texas.

“I know they’re excited,” Freeze said. “They want to prove, particularly defensively, that we’re hopefully improv-ing. The last time we were on a big stage and national TV, we didn’t play our best. We’ve got to improve to get what we want to get.”

Other News & Notes:Freeze said after practice that

junior slot receiver Korvic Neat “will not make the trip” to Ala-bama due to an injured groin. Freeze was hopeful about the status of senior defensive tackle Uriah Grant and freshman de-fensive tackle Woodrow Ham-ilton.

“Uriah went through practice today, and hopefully he’ll be fine,” Freeze said. “Woody, I’m not sure.”

Freeze also noted that junior wide receiver Philander Moore would return punts on Satur-day, but junior running back Jeff Scott “is prepared to do it also.”
