NY Times VoiceSocial media provokes,of the galvanizes students campus protest colmnist: CLARA TURNAGE Students, do what you love

SLADE RAND [email protected]

New York Times columnist David Brooks urged students to find true happiness through committed relationships Thursday night. Brooks was the keynote speaker at the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College’s 2016 fall convocation. He said students should ask themselves what their higher calling is, rather than focus on short-term happiness. Brooks is also a PBS news contributor and a commenta- tor on NPR’s “All Things Con- sidered.” He has written two New York Times best-selling books, most recently “The Road to Character.” It is a semi-auto- biographical work based on his PHOTO BY: ARIEL COBBERT own philosophical journey and search for fulfillment. torically white college campuses, it often “Mine wasn’t a life of profun- On a campus steeped in racial history, a takes a public push for students like this dity, yet there are those times to be held accountable.” when you get lifted out of your- King’s post gained even more national self,” Brooks said. “You start to student protest in the very heart of the university recognition when 49ers’ quarterback understand things about your- Colin Kaepernick retweeted it.

BROOKS continued from page 1 instead of squandering life in a series of constraints. The best way to avoid life’s side projects is to be passionate about something, according to Brooks. For him, commitment means suc- cess. “A commitment is simply falling in love,” Brooks said. “It’s built on a double negative where you think ‘I can’t not do this.’” Brooks said cell phones and social media are other obstacles to connecting with a passion. If a person is semi-connected to his phone, he is only semi-connected to others. He said he admits to being addicted to his own iPhone; he checks it more than every four minutes. “If you want to drive mice crazy, start giving them random rewards at random times. My texts are like that,” Brooks said. Brooks mentioned a hand- ful of other aspects that set Ole Miss apart from schools around the country.

Chancellor Vitter’s second response Chancellor Vitter statement concerning meeting with UM students This afternoon I learned that a number of students had gathered at the Lyceum to express their concerns about a recent social media post and our response to it. Because I have an open door policy, I invited some of the student leaders to meet with me and other university leaders. The students helped me more fully understand the impact on them of national events and this particular social media post. They expressed great pain, sadness, and concern for their own safety. To be clear, we condemn the recent social media post by one of our students that referenced lynching. In light of our country’s history, that comment can only be seen as racist, offensive and hurtful, especially to members of our Af- rican American community. There is no place in our community for racist or violent acts. I appreciate the willingness of the student leaders to meet with me and to continue the dialogue. Together, we are committed to moving beyond words toward action, harnessing the transformative power of education to realize the ideals of our Creed. what happened in a meaningful Thomas said he believed so- way.” cial media was a great galvaniz- Thomas said he was proud of ing factor for this protest, but he the NAACP’s growth in the past also said social media presents a Photo by: Ariel Cobbert year since the removal of the real issue for the university.

30165 PAGE 12 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | 6 OCTOBER 2016 SPORTS Editor to editor: Rebels vs. Tigers Christian Boutwell, sports editor of The Daily Reveille, joins Brian Scott Rippee to discuss this week’s game.

1. It’s been quite the interesting year in Baton Rouge. How have the players adjusted to the coach- 1. What happened last weekend against Arkansas? Chad Kelly seemed to be under a good amount of pres- ing change, and how have they responded to having Ed Orgeron at the helm? sure, something LSU can do, too. Has Ole Miss’ offense spoken much this week about protecting against LSU’s CB: Well, two wins so far say LSU’s program/players have responded well. Orgeron is a fired-up, energy-in- pass rush? fused man who grew up in Louisiana. I’d say Louisiana, and LSU, are enjoying having O coach the team so BSR- Kelly was under pressure a lot, but it was also a lack of execution between him and the receivers. A usually sure-hand- far, but this weekend is a good chance to see how Orgeron responds to a (tougher) SEC opponent. ed receiving corps had a number of drops on big downs last week, and there were a number of occasions where com- munication was an issue. Offensive Line Coach Matt Luke talked about how LSU mixes odd and even fronts on the 2. Ole Miss knows all about Leonard Fournette, but tell me a little bit about Derrius Guice. He’s kept defensive line, and Ole Miss will have to adjust accordingly. The offensive line has held its own most of the time this year, the ground game rolling in Fournette’s absence. How is he similar to LF, and how is he different? but Saturday will be a really tough test. CB: Guice is just as shifty, if not more elusive than Fournette. He’s had a couple runs — dating back to last season — where he has just been too slippery for tacklers to bring him down. He’s less of the run-through- 2. LSU knows what Chad Kelly and Ole Miss’ receivers and Evan Engram are capable of, but tell me about you type of tailback that Fournette is, but just as capable of posting 150-plus yards each week. another playmaker on Ole Miss’ offense who may surprise LSU with his skill level? BSR- Eugene Brazley is a name that a lot of people may not know but will get some snaps at running back. Ole Miss lost 3. Hugh Freeze said the LSU secondary may be the best this Ole Miss receiving corps has faced. two running backs before the year even really began, and although Akeem Judd is the starter, Brazley has also helped What has LSU been saying about the Ole Miss receivers, and is there a particular matchup that keep the ground game serviceable. interests you? He is a little bit more patient and has the ability to bounce runs outside with a quick burst. Brazley and Judd went more CB: Well, that seems to be all LSU has talked about this week: Stopping Chad Kelly and Ole Miss’ big-play, than 100 yards against Memphis. It’s rare Ole Miss has a back run for 100 in a game and even rarer to have two. Freeze deep-pass game. I think this may decide the game, if we’re being honest. LSU’s had some coverage busts said he wished he would have stuck with the run more against Arkansas, so look for Brazley along with Judd to try to give this season, which isn’t something it can afford this weekend with the Rebels’ ability to drop 40-plus points. the Rebels some semblance of a running game. All it may take is one coverage bust and LSU may be out of it, so we’ll see. For sure, watch out for this. 3. LSU’s offense is no secret—Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice will carry most of the load. So tell me about 4. LSU offense looks as if it has become more stable under Danny Etling. What has he given the Ole Miss’ defense and a particular matchup you’re interesting in seeing. Tigers that Harris could not? BSR - I think you’ve got to look at linebacker. Ole Miss is thin here, and it’s been a revolving door in the middle—so much CB: He’s more poised. Seems more relaxed. I think LSU fans are most excited about his ability to read de- so that Ray Ray Smith drew his first start at MLB last week. Rommel Mageo and Detric Bing-Dukes have played well in fenses and go through his quarterback progression—not forcing balls into tight windows, running it if there spots at that position, and DeMarquis Gates has been good on the outside. Consistency has been the issue at linebacker. are no options and checking down when all else fails. Etling uses all of LSU’s receivers and tight ends, too, Freeze announced a slight coaching shift this week that will see graduate assistant Christian Robinson coach the middle which keeps defenses on their heels. So, we’ll see how he responds to another SEC West defense Saturday. linebackers, while Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack will oversee the “stingers” at outside linebacker.

5. Prediction? 4. Prediction? CB: Who actually knows? Both teams have lost more than they anticipated at the beginning of this season. BSR- I have no clue what to make of this game. I think if Ole Miss doesn’t hurt itself with turnovers and drops, it should win Who knows what kind of team either of them is? Because it’s an 8 p.m. (!!) night game in Baton Rouge, I’ll the game. But 8 p.m. kickoff in Death Valley is about as tough as it gets in terms of environment, and until it has proved it say LSU 27, Ole Miss 20. can go on the road and play well, it doesn’t make sense to pick the Rebels. LSU-27, Ole Miss-24 Geaux to Hell
