Ole Miss faces uphill road at SEC Tournament

The SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina, this week will be an opportunity to pad win totals for some and serve as a lifeline for others. Teams like Mississippi State, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Kentucky are near locks for the upcoming NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. They may not have much to play […]

OPINION: Letter to the Editor: A view from the other side

First, my wife and I have opposite opinions on the statue debate, but we discuss and respect each other’s opinions. My great-great-great grandfather fought for the South but did not own slaves. When most Southern soldiers were asked by Union troops why they were fighting, their response was “because you are here.” Union troops invaded […]

Unanimous: ASB Senate votes to move the monument

After 10 seconds of silence, a room previously stricken with suspense erupted into applause and joyous tears. Surrounded by students, community members and university police officers, the Ole Miss Associated Student Body Senate unanimously passed a resolution calling for the relocation of the Confederate statue from the Circle to the Confederate cemetery. “This is not […]

The Natchez native is stopping in Oxford on tour with “Cemetery Road,” the 18th novel in his repertoire and his first standalone book since the end of the “Natchez Burning” trilogy. […]

OPINION: Letter to the Editor: The statue does not represent Oxford

Two weeks ago, as neo-Confederates marched on campus, students left town in fear for their safety. This newspaper reported that one student wondered “whether I should continue to go to Ole Miss” because “I feel like they don’t want black people here.” It’s unacceptable that white supremacists felt more entitled to our campus than an […]

OPINION: We must learn from the past

When we learn about history, we most often learn the shorthand story through the eyes of those who have won the war but not those who have lost the war. After all, to the victor go the spoils. I have often been asked about the statue since the protesting started on campus last month, and […]

OPINION: Do students have a say in important matters?

On March 1, the Associated Student Body Senate announced its intention to vote on a bill to encourage administration to relocate the Confederate statue from the Circle to the Confederate cemetery on campus. By and large, this was the first time the majority of the student body had heard about this legislation. Thus, little to […]
