City to vote on alcohol safety ordinance ASB Critics cite civil rights, racial bias, privacy concerns Attorney General resigns

TAYLOR VANCE [email protected]

Associated Student Body Attorney General Katherine Sistrunk has resigned from her position to instead help lead the newly established Elections Reform Task Force. Sistrunk was sworn into office in April after winning 68 percent of the vote in the ASB general election. After- wards, Sistrunk said she partially attributed her win to her mem- bership in a Greek organization. The Daily Mississippian first reported on ASB candidates not being required to disclose cam- paign donors in April and reported that many of the candidates running received funding from PHOTO: CHRISTIAN JOHNSON Greek organizations to which Oxford’s mounted police division patrols the Square on Friday night as crowds form around the bars. they belonged. “During this [election] TAYLOR VANCE hearings and proposed drafts criticized by groups claiming ponents of the ordinance.

29442 PAGE 12 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 20 AUGUST 2018 Rebel Roll Call: Ta’amu ready to seize leadership In preparation for the 2018 football season, The Daily Mississippian is introducing a series called “Rebel Roll Call” to take a deep look into each position group, familiarizing readers with this year’s team. The two-week long series will lead up to the Rebels’ first kickoff of the season against Texas Tech. During the first week, we will chronicle where each offensive group stands, starting with the quarterbacks.

With fall camp coming to an end on Sunday, it is safe to say quarterback Jordan Ta’amu will have complete control over the Rebel offense. Ta’amu exploded onto the field during the 2017 season, throwing for 365 yards or more in each of his first three starts. During the last month of the season, he led Ole Miss to a 3-1 record, helping him become the only Ole Miss quarterback ever to throw for 350 yards or more in back-to-back SEC games. As a result, there are high expectations for him this year. Offensive coordinator Phil Longo said he wants Ta’amu to use all of his talents. “We want Jordan to be a distributor of the ball, first and foremost,” Longo said. “We have a lot of offensive weapons, and FILE PHOTO: TAYLAR TEEL we want him to use them.
