My Saturday night started off the same way it would for most of my peers. I spent time calculating my ensemble, making sure that my makeup and hair would complement the look, and figuring out plans to ensure that I would hold true to the idea that we never lose...
Alex McDaniel Speak truth to power. It’s the principle lesson I learned during my time at the university — a lesson many student journalists learn during their time here and not necessarily in the classroom. For decades, student journalists on this campus have regularly reported on race relations, exposing inequality,...
The Daily Mississippian, like the University of Mississippi, has not always stood against hate. We sometimes participated in upholding a vision of our campus and city that rested on outdated ideas about race and gender that some people in our community wish still existed. There are days when we didn’t...
Supreme Court nominee Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote has been postponed in light of recent allegations of sexual misconduct. The 53-year-old has been accused by professor Christine Blasey Ford of sexual misconduct in an incident that occurred more than 30 years ago. The Palo Alto University professor alleges that...

Dear Editor, Let’s talk about Uber. The city of Oxford did its best to prevent Uber from coming to town a few years ago but was overridden by the state legislature. Now Uber is in its third year in Oxford. It’s convenient, it’s on your phone and thousands of people...
Dear DM Editor: DM journalist Taylor Vance has closely followed and reported well on the citizen challenge to the city of Oxford’s amendment to chapter 14 of the code. It would be amusing — if it were not so sad — that Oxford’s police chief and mayor say they “took...
